The king is here

In the beginning of spring and March, a large peach forest in the suburbs is in bloom.Spring in seaside cities always comes earlier than in other places. After a light snowfall, the sky is as clear and blue as washed lead, and the spring has already touched the branches.

It was spring, and Shen Liang didn't want to continue spending time in the office.He assigned all the work to his subordinates and asked them to do it well, then put on his coat and scarf and drove to the suburbs.

Although the weather in March has warmed up a lot, it is still bitterly cold, so even though the peach blossoms are in full bloom, not many tourists come to watch them.Dressed in black, Shen Liang with a handsome face became the only sight in the forest other than peach blossoms. When he raised his head slightly, a petal fell slowly and brushed past the tip of his nose.

Fragrant.

There was a smile on the corner of the beautiful lips, like the ripples on the river, Shen Liang raised his hand and broke off a flower branch. The moment he lowered his eyebrows and smiled, Fang Chenning's clear and smiling voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Ah Liang, let's go to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers."

Shen Liang suddenly turned his head, the smile just hung on the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared like a cloud when he saw a void in front of him.

That's right, how could he have forgotten that sentence was said to him by Fang Chenning on a certain March day many years ago.How did he answer then?Seems to be……

"Sorry, I haven't finished my work yet, how about another day?"

In fact, at that time, he was discussing with the ninth son of the Bai family how to overthrow the heir of the Bai family.And since then, Fang Chenning never asked him to enjoy the flowers together.

Thinking of this, Shen Liang suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart.

Once you get used to many things, you will not be touched again. At first he approached Fang Chenning with the mentality of taking advantage of him, but in the end he was addicted to his gentle smile and meticulous care.What kind of person is Fang Chenning?Shen Liang actually didn't understand much, because they were too close.

But outsider Fang Chenning's evaluation, he is very clear.

Wisdom, quick-witted, deep, introverted, gentle, and clean.Unlike the Ninth Young Master who is good at lobbying, he knows how to control people's hearts and calculate, so his opponents hate and fear him.It was also because of this that Shen Liang chose him as a breakthrough point, threatening him with affection was the most exciting and ridiculous step he had taken.

In the end, Fang Chenning completed the plan for him, and even filled in the loopholes in the plan, and then an accident, whether it was an accident or not, they were separated from each other.When we meet again, things have already changed.

Shen Liang initially thought that Fang Chenning would not be able to let go, because he valued affection.But later he realized that from the moment Fang Chenning fell into the water, he let go, started a new life peacefully, had a new lover, and completely separated from the former fourth son of the Bai family.From beginning to end, he was the only one who couldn't let go.

It's right to say that this love affair that started with taking advantage of it and ended with an accident has long been doomed. Shen Liang originally thought that he was chic enough.But the truly unrestrained person is now sharing his life with the one he loves, while he can only hide in the quagmire of memories and gradually decay and grow old.

It wasn't until the man left that Shen Liang realized belatedly that his love for him went deep into his bones.But what's the use of understanding?People are gone, and for the rest of his life, he can only silently reject the bitter memories, seek a ray of fragrance and sweetness in his memory, and let the wound rot.Drinking doves to quench thirst, even if it cost his life, he would be happy with it.

Brushing the flowers with his fingers, Shen Liang lowered his eyes and smiled brightly at the air in front of him, "A-Ning, let's go to enjoy the flowers. The peach blossoms here...are beautifully blooming."

The sound of the wind was sparse, shaking and rustling all over the ground.

No one responded.

……

Before meeting Shen Liang, Fang Chenning was the true pride of heaven.

He is ranked fourth in the family. Although it is a bit embarrassing to be in a different position, this does not prevent him from displaying his talents.The brothers in the family are all showing their talents for the position of the head of the family like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, but he is not interested in that, and only wants to do business to make money.And he did have that ability, and his grandfather couldn't help but look sideways at what he did.

Back then, he was full of vigor and style, and he was the object of many people's yearning, and he was the young man that many women were vying to pursue.There are even a certain number of men among his suitors, all of whom are successful people with talent and good looks.But he still kept himself clean and refused no matter who came.In order to get close to him, Shen Liang took a lot of effort to get into his heart.

After being with Shen Liang, someone commented on him like this.Destined to be romantic, he has a romantic appearance, a romantic talent, and a romantic fate, but if he stops for one person, he may also waste half his life.

Fang Chenning sneered at this.He never wasted time, even after he separated from Shen Liang, he didn't spend his time on grief, but re-chosen his own life.

After the incident broke out, many people guessed the purpose of Shen Liang approaching him, and it was not worth being angry for him.There are also many people who have pursued him for many years but failed to blame him. The content is nothing more than what would have happened to them if they had been chosen.But in Fang Chenning's heart, those suitors are no different from Shen Liang, didn't they approach him with various purposes at the beginning?He just felt a little pity that his first love was entrusted to an inhuman person.

Shen Liang is so smart, how could he not understand his thoughts?It is precisely because I understand that I have been in pain for so many years, and I will continue to suffer from it until the end of my life.

Pulling the scarf around his neck, Shen Liang exhaled warm white air, regardless of whether he was wearing a custom-made and expensive handmade casual suit, he sat on the ground casually, and took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket.A cluster of flames lit the cigarette, and the faint tobacco fragrance spread out, blending with the fragrance of flowers in the air. Shen Liang watched quietly, but did not smoke. His eyes were far away, as if seeing the distant past through the thin smoke.

Fang Chenning didn't like alcohol and tobacco, so he quit very early.

"Ah Liang, let's go eat steak tonight."

"You don't like western food?"

"Today is your birthday, I can make an exception for you."

Not once, silly Aning, you have made an exception for me countless times, so many times that you probably can't even count them, right?

"The weather is nice today, Ah Liang, will you go for a walk in the park with me?"

"I'm sorry, I have a business to discuss with Jiu Gongzi, I'm afraid I can't accompany you."

"Ninth Brother? What business does he have with you?"

"About investing, would you like to hear about it?"

"...No. You two have gotten very close recently, when did you meet?"

"It's just a business relationship."

I'm sorry, Aning, I should have gone for a walk in the park with you.You may not know, that park was demolished and rebuilt some time ago, I bought it, if you like, I will accompany you whenever you want to go.

...Actually, you already noticed something at that time, right?

"Shen Liang, do you like me?"

"……I love you."

"Thank you for being willing to lie to me. For this lie, I will help you one last time."

"A-Ning!—"

With a trembling hand, Shen Liang woke up from the memories.Many memories flooded up like a tide, but turned into sharp knives as they passed through his heart, which made him feel heartbroken.His brows were stained with indescribable pain, his fingers spread out feebly, and the half-burned cigarette fell to the ground and slowly rolled to his feet.

"Ahem!...I didn't lie to you..." Shen Liang coughed violently for a while, and murmured, "Only that sentence, there is no deception, it just came a bit late..."

Spreading his five fingers, he vainly wanted to grab something, but only the untouchable air flowed between his fingers.Leaning to the side, the body leaned into a weird angle, just like the way Chen Ning was still leaning on his shoulder from the front.

Is it really that hard to love someone?Then how long did he make his Aning hard before?
