chasing autumn

Late at night, black as ink.

The main altar of Infernal Affairs, the room of the young master. ——Outside the window, the wind and clouds are dancing; inside the door, the shadow of the candle is fluttering.

On the bamboo couch, Zhan Hao sat upright, closing his eyes and adjusting his breath.

Under the bamboo couch, Yu Huolian knelt on the cold stone floor, with her hands hanging by her side and her head lowered, as if she was full of grief and remorse.

But at this moment, Zhan Hao didn't even believe in his "regret" appearance!

After a long time, Zhan Hao slightly opened his eyes again, in the corner of his eyes, Yu Huolian had already sat down on his knees lazily, leaning against the wall beside him, still hanging his head.

However, that deeply buried head, that unconcealable look on that face, that smile on the corner of his mouth——

There is no regret at all, only full of pride! !

Qingyue said, the person the sect wants me to arrest is as good as the young master? ...then I want to try it!Although I have never defeated Huolian brother, I think maybe I can catch this person back!Because, no one will be like the young master—desperate, yet lonely, never leaving any retreat for himself!Once the opponent is identified, the spear strength, sword energy, and palm wind are extremely fierce, leaving no room for it. It seems that every step is to put himself to death and survive! !Let me ask you this way of playing, who can block it, who dares to block it? !

Qingyue said that it was a kind of hopeless pride.

Hopeless pride? ...

Zhan Hao's expression was solemn, his brows were indifferent and indifferent, he sat on the bamboo couch, looked at Yu Huolian who "kneeled" not far in front of him, recalled all kinds of things just now, and recalled the past ten years.Can't help sighing: Maybe, it's really like what Qingyue said...despair, pride...you child, your temperament really hasn't changed at all!

"You are really more and more promising." Zhan Hao said suddenly.

"father!!……"

Hearing Zhan Hao's calm words suddenly broke the long silence in the room, Yu Huolian was startled, and quickly got up and knelt down, "My son caused my father to waste too much energy, my son knows his mistake!"

"Wrong?!"

Zhan Hao snorted, gave him a cold look, and said slowly, "...do you know where your mistakes are?"

Yu Huolian raised her head, looked at each other, and replied in a deep voice: "The child shouldn't take the forbidden medicine without authorization, let alone hide it, and shouldn't cause father to waste his energy in order to save the child, shouldn't..."

"Why don't you drink medicine?!"

Zhan Hao cut off suddenly, his voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly and coldly, Yu Huolian trembled when he saw it, "Mo Fei doesn't understand, and you don't understand either?! Or, are you just pretending to be confused? Are you angry?!"

"I don't dare! How dare I get angry with my father..."

Yu Huolian's heart tightened suddenly, she bowed her head in panic, her face gradually turned pale, "...I, I was negligent, I was confused for a while, and forgot the importance of that herbal medicine..."

"Don't dare?! What else are you afraid of?!"

Zhan Hao stopped drinking in a deep voice.With a change in tone, he snorted coldly, and said with a faint smile, "Why, you can't pretend to be sick!... This time, a new trick was used?..."

"...Father...what are you talking about..."

Yu Huolian murmured hesitantly.When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhan Hao staring at him intently, his eyes were as burning as a light, as burning as frost!

Shocked for a while, his eyes wandered, he only lowered his eyes and lowered his head.

Malingering? ...That was 4 years ago, Dad actually... still remembers...

Yu Huolian couldn't help recalling:

At that time, he was 16 years old, and he should have been out of the age of self-willedness.But for some reason, there are some things that he still can't get used to, and he can't turn a blind eye to them.

——He asked himself: Does father treat any child better than me? ...

In his impression, his father has never been very close to him, it is difficult to smile, he is slightly dissatisfied, he beats and scolds frequently, it is difficult to see comforting warmth, or hear words of sincere praise—although, not completely No, but too little, too little...

Little to chilling, cold hands and feet,

As few as frowning brows and deep fingertips in the palm of your hand,

As few as countless late nights, his inexplicable whole body was huddled tightly in the quilt, and he shed inexplicable tears...

But he is not a submissive person after all!

——Do not admit defeat!Don't bow your head!Don't budge!Do not beg for mercy!Born to be proud! !

This innate disposition probably cannot be shifted or changed at will.

So, for 3 days in a row, he said that he was sick and refused to get off the bed.He did this because he wanted his father to come and see him, and he just wanted to see his long-lost smile again, because in his memory, it seemed that every time he was injured or ill, his father would no longer be stingy with his warm care and patience. guardian.However, 3 days passed and Zhan Hao was not seen.

The hunchback came to see him, thinking that he was seriously ill, and when he learned the reason, he advised him to stop as soon as possible and not bring himself into trouble, but he was already sad and angry because of the 3 days of waiting, and he didn't answer or speak.In the end, he simply buried his head and face in the quilt, suffocated and angry.In the evening of that day, Zhan Hao finally came to see him.Originally, he was nice and nice, but Huo Lian could not suppress his resentment, and still hid himself tightly under the quilt. While speaking, he yelled something presumptuously and awkwardly in his heart, which offended Zhan Hao. He forcibly pulled a hand out of the quilt.

Zhan Hao felt his pulse and angrily reprimanded,

"You're not sick at all!... Tomorrow, if you pretend to be sick and don't get out of bed, I'll beat you up! Make you unable to get out of bed forever!!" After saying that, he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Later the hunchback came in and saw him sitting on the edge of the bed with a dazed look, and the innocent quilt thrown on the ground, he couldn't help being happy, "Why, your protective layer...was ripped off?"

"What ripped off?! That was kicked off by me just now!..."

The hunchback snorted, "What do you think you are arguing about, and you have angered him..."

"... Uncle Tuo, will my father really... do this? He will really..."

"You can try."

"Try?...I...I think...forget it."

"father,"

Yu Huolian came back to her senses and felt that she was really ridiculous back then, even worse than Mo Fei.Reluctantly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Father, actually, I just... I just feel a little awkward... It's not that I didn't want to drink the medicine..."
