hope and gift

Teng De was shocked by Mu Xiao's yelling, and he could feel the anger and blame in Mu Xiao's tone without listening carefully. He immediately realized something was wrong, and quickly asked: "What do you mean by that?"

Before Mu Xiao had time to say it all, Teng Jiangyan hurriedly blocked all his words.

"It's nothing, he's just talking nonsense." Teng Jiangyan pulled Mu Xiao's hand hard, made him unsteady and sat down, then looked at Teng De with sincere eyes, and firmly Say it again: "I'm fine with nothing."

Teng De's expression was strange, a bit displeased: "Xiao Yan, you can't tell Dad what you have."

"Well, I admit, because I couldn't accept my mother's cheating, so I harmed myself at the time, but I'm alive now, so there's no need to mention it again." Teng Jiangyan kept her tone calm, her forehead even oozing sweat.

He's really bad at lying.

Teng De is well aware of Teng Jiangyan's problem, and can tell at a glance that Teng Jiangyan is lying.This was actually intentional to hide it from him, but since Teng Jiangyan didn't want to say it, he didn't force it. After all, Teng Jiangyan was an adult and had his own thinking and sense of proportion.But this also illustrates a problem from the side, his own father has indeed failed.

Even though thousands of thoughts drifted through Teng De's mind, they could only turn into a sigh and floated out gently.

He looked at Teng Jiangyan who was uncomfortable, and then said: "When you mentioned your mother, I remembered some strange things. After your sister was seriously ill, your mother came back to ask me to remarry, but at that time I even feel that she is like a different person."

"In the past, she was really a well-educated traditional oriental woman, with high literary attainments, sensual and romantic, which fascinated me. But after that time, she seemed to become a cursing shrew. The previous reprimand turned into later abusive behavior. I remember you were a fairly outgoing kid before, but when she brought you back, you were already in a daze and cringe at everything. I don't know you What happened, I even suspected that your mother made you like this, so I quarreled with her many times. But your sister's condition has deteriorated into acute leukemia at this time, I really... have no time to take care of you gone."

"Your sister died after all." Tender sighed, and leaned on the sofa as if he had lost his spine, "Your mother beat and scolded you even more, maybe because of this, you performed abnormally in the college entrance examination. I know You must be suffering psychologically more than us, so you take me to see a psychiatrist. I don’t know any psychiatrists, but I was lucky at the time. When I was picking up my briefcase at home, I happened to see a psychiatrist’s business card on it, and thought maybe It's your mother's friend, so I took you there. After you received the admission notice, your mother reacted abnormally for a while, and you were also mentally unstable. I don't think this is the way to go, so I went out to find connections, and finally let the admission Your school gave you a two-year suspension of study. I planned to let you adjust yourself first, but I didn’t expect that your mother would beat you out when I was not at home for the suspension procedure. I left the house. Since then, I have completely lost contact with you, and I haven't found you after looking for you for a long time. Your mother has agreed to divorce me, and now I am only responsible for her medical expenses in the mental hospital. "

"By the way, I don't know if you still have this video. I just said so much and thought about a lot of things in my heart. I suddenly want to watch it. Let's watch it together."

Teng De turned on the computer, called up a video, put the computer aside and turned it around so that Mu Xiao, Teng Jiangyan and himself could all see it. .

The video is facing a large bed, and a woman is lying on the bed with a thick quilt.The woman looked very old and frighteningly thin, but her face was unexpectedly bloody, and she seemed to be recovering well.Her lips were peeling, and her golden hair was falling out in sevens and eights.

"Xiaoyan, come, talk to your brother, he just went to high school the day before yesterday." Teng De's voice came from the video.

When the woman heard the word "brother", her eyes seemed to light up, she tried her best to prop herself up, her expression flustered, but she said angrily, "Give me my hat quickly, my brother will definitely be disgusted if I look like this." Those who dislike me, I still want to make a good impression on my younger brother!"

Tender handed her a hat, and the woman stretched out her bony hands, put on the hat with some difficulty, and managed to show a smile.To be honest, if you look carefully, the woman in the video, that is, Teng Jiangyan, does not look very similar to Teng Jiangyan, and it can only be said that she is similar to Teng Jiangyan.

Teng Jiangyan's eyebrows are curved, and she is really cute and cute when she smiles, like a porcelain doll.She waved her hand towards the camera and said: "My lovely brother, will you see me? I miss you very much, but unfortunately I am not in good health. I haven't seen you since you were born until you were 15 years old. Myself. But my father often shows me your photos. You are really more and more handsome! You have to grow into a man, and you will take care of my sister in the future. My sister will wait until then. By the way, I heard that when I was young, someone gave me You have done fortune-telling, but don’t believe what the fortune-teller said, it’s all nonsense. My sister’s illness is caused by my sister’s failure to take good care of herself. Don’t be burdened. You should work hard to read books. All……"

At the end of the video, the screen suddenly went black, before Teng Jiangyan could finish speaking.Teng De sighed, his eyes turned red, and he turned off the video reluctantly.

He paused, and stretched out his hand to grope around for a while, as if looking for cigarettes, but he found nothing after a long time of groping.After a while, he explained slowly: "Your sister vomited blood while she was talking, and she was afraid that you would worry about her after seeing it, so she asked me to pinch the latter part. At that time, your mother and I I'm already divorced, so I can only send the video to your mother and ask her to show you. Speaking of which, this is the first and last video I made for your sister. It was her 25th birthday. If she can live well, the children must be as high as this table."

There was a soft light in Tender's eyes, and he looked straight at the mahogany table in front of him, with a bit of helplessness and sadness, causing the atmosphere on the table to fall into a kind of continuous sadness.

With some doubts, Mu Xiao tapped the table with his fingers.He wasn't sure if Teng Jiangyan still remembered, but he remembered very clearly that the "his sister" that Teng Jiangyan said was not like this.The Teng Jiangyan he was talking about was a sister who looked very similar to him and was very repulsive to him.

He looked sideways at Teng Jiangyan.

The expression on Teng Jiangyan's face can be described as very exciting. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, dragged over the notebook, called up the video just now, and stared at the computer screen to watch it again.

The words of the woman's air were like gossamer, echoed again in this small space, and with the smile on her face that she tried her best to maintain, it seemed to turn into broken glass, and scratched all over her body with his blood.

At this moment, Teng Jiangyan's brain turned from thousands of words into a blank, as if his throat was filled with lead, he couldn't say anything, he just stared at the video where he opened his mouth and cried bitterly, like Making some weird noises like a mute.

Mu Xiao once heard someone say that people who are extremely sad cannot cry.He looked at Teng Jiangyan who wanted to cry out his heart and lungs. Even if he couldn't empathize with him, he still felt a sense of loss that filled his heart.

The computer was facing the two of them. He watched Teng Jiangyan mechanically repeat the action of clicking on this video, and watched him watch the video that was less than 2 minutes over and over again.Mu Xiao glanced at the frowning Teng De, stretched out his hand to hold Teng Jiangyan's hand, and then pulled him onto his shoulder, hoping to give him some comfort.

Teng Jiangyan's mind was filled with cold hatred for a moment, making him feel like he was in an ice cave.The two most terrible things in life, one is life and separation, the other is death.In Teng Jiangyan's few waking hours, he went through these two things all over again.

He lived for 19 years before he realized that he and Teng Jiangyan were separated for life and death.

Teng Jiangyan clenched his hands tightly into fists and let them go again weakly. He cried for a long time, and even heard Teng De's words of persuasion before he finally calmed down.

"Xiaoyan, I know that you may not be able to accept the fact that your sister is dead, but... the dead are gone, and the living... oh." Seeing Teng Jiangyan's strange behavior, Teng De sighed.

Teng Jiangyan drank his saliva, and his throat felt much more comfortable.He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the cold emotion that kept spreading in his heart, pinched the corner of Mu Xiao's clothes, and said, "I want to see my sister."

Teng De seemed to be very relieved by Teng Jiangyan's loose attitude. He quickly took a piece of paper and wrote the name of the cemetery and the location of the cemetery on it.

When he handed the paper to Teng Jiangyan, he seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated.After seeing Teng Jiangyan carefully put away the note, he said hesitantly: "Your sister's last wish before she died was to see you. The treatment was already very painful for her. She once wanted the medical staff to evacuate her." The instrument is left to fend for itself, but it’s still waiting for you... let’s not talk about it, it’s uncomfortable to talk about.”

"I... the day my sister died, didn't I go to the hospital?" Teng Jiangyan's eyes were red and slightly swollen, so that he stared at Teng De with an almost ferocious expression and asked.

Tender frowned and said in confusion, "Don't you remember?"

"Uncle, this is the case. Xiaoyan had a car accident a month ago and suffered a concussion. The doctor said that some of his memory was damaged." Seeing that Teng Jiangyan was in a unstable mood and obviously unable to answer this question, Mu Xiao called Teng Jiangyan very cleverly. To round things off, he answered Tender kindly.

"Did Xiaoyan have a car accident? I don't even know... It's okay... Sigh, I'm really not a good father." Teng De shook his head, sighed again, and said, "But you really didn't go to the hospital that day, It's also your sister's last regret before she dies."

Teng Jiangyan felt a chill down his back, and there was a kind of horror like seeing a ghost that could not go away for a long time.No, he did remember going to the hospital, it couldn't be a hallucination.He can even clearly remember that it was extremely hot that day because it was a dog day.When he was rushing from home to the hospital, he took two buses, and the bus was so crowded that he threw up as soon as he got off the bus, so that he walked crookedly and knocked down a child who was walking with a watermelon, and the watermelon fell to the ground and cracked A big hole was made, and the child sat down on the ground and cried loudly.The crying of the child made him at a loss, he could only pay him all the money he had on his body, and fled to the hospital in embarrassment.

It is impossible to make mistakes, absolutely impossible to make mistakes. If it is an illusion, how could there be such a strong causal relationship?

Although tens of thousands of bees were already dancing in his heart, Teng Jiang Yanxue was smart and didn't show too much inappropriateness. He just pulled his face and made a sad look, and even almost concealed it Mu Xiao.

Mu Xiao had a panoramic view of Teng Jiangyan's small movements, and knew that he must be thinking of something that made him contradict himself, but because of Teng De's presence, he did not expose Teng Jiangyan's somewhat lame acting skills.

So he can only lie to his foreign father.While thinking, Mu Xiao drank the lotus root soup in front of him.

After the meal, Teng De didn't bother Teng Jiangyan too much, but just told him to be careful and contact him more, so the meal was relaxed and happy except for the conversation before the meal.Before Teng Jiangyan left, Teng De handed him his business card, but Teng Jiangyan refused to accept it.Mu Xiao looked embarrassed, so he pretended to be a favor and accepted it for him, and apologized to Teng De, and then led Teng Jiangyan away.

"You go back first, I promised Jinnian to bring him a pack of cigarettes." Mu Xiao just stepped into the elevator with his front foot, then stepped out with his back foot, slapped himself on the forehead, and said with a sad look: "My memory, I just completely forgot about it."

"Then you go, I just go back to practice." Teng Jiangyan was still thinking about the things he hadn't figured out just now, his face was gloomy, but he still tried his best to show a good face to Mu Xiao.But it failed, and finally showed a dumbfounding look, which made Mu Xiao couldn't help but close his eyes.

Mu Xiao turned around and walked down the stairs to the first floor. After confirming that Teng Jiangyan hadn't followed, the ghost took a picture of Teng Jiangyan's father's business card and sent it to Han Zi.After the filming, he walked towards the trash can on one side, but when he was three steps away, he suddenly stopped, stuffed his business card into the back of his wallet, and then turned around and wandered around on the first floor.

Mu Xiao reflected on himself while walking, this is definitely the last time he lied to Xiaoyan!

He himself feels that his lying skills are becoming more and more proficient now.No matter what the situation is, the words of running the train are already at his fingertips.

I have to say that the grade of the hotel opened by Teng De is really not low, Mu Xiao made a big circle around him, but he didn't complete it.But now the weather outside is hot, the sun is very poisonous, Mu Xiao finally walked to the entrance of the garden, but he still couldn't step out of the air-conditioned place.But out of pity, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided to compromise, walking back and forth through the glass to admire the dying flowers outside in the sun.

The flowers are not too high, and there is a pergola in the innermost part. There are also many flowers in the pergola, and there are several round tables and chairs.

Coincidentally, Mu Xiao saw Teng De talking on the phone in the arbor with just one glance, and he could feel his anger from a distance.Mu Xiao frowned, and paid more attention. Sure enough, after a while after Teng De finished calling, the phone fell to the ground with a crisp sound, which made Mu Xiao tremble with fright.

Mu Xiao watched him drop the phone, guessed that he was about to come, so he quickly turned around and ran away.Anyway, there were quite a few diners on the first floor of the hotel, and no one could notice when I ran into the crowd.
