Highly toxic

In the evening, there was light snow in the world.

This is the last night that Jiang Mu and Geng Yan will stay here, and they have already booked a flight ticket back to Zhong'an City tomorrow.

The snow fell harder and harder. After dinner, Jiang Mu and Geng Yan just stayed in the room and didn't go anywhere.

Geng Yan bought a pair of sexy pajamas from nowhere, and coaxed Jiang Mu to put them on, but Jiang Mu refused to agree, and the two chased each other in the room and stalemate for nearly half an hour, until the door was knocked.

The polite voice of the hotel waiter came from outside the door, "Mr. Geng, there is your package."

Only then did Geng Yan let go of his swearing-in-law daughter-in-law, cupped her face and kissed her, and said with a smile, "I'll go and see."

Geng Yan came to the door of the room and opened it, took the package like a file bag from the waiter, frowned and asked, "Who sent it?"

"It's a young man in his early twenties." The waiter replied, "The gentleman left the package at the front desk, said it was for you, and then left."

The package was very light and thin, and Geng Yan squeezed it in his hand, even feeling that the package was empty.

"Okay, I see."

After Geng Yan finished speaking, he turned and went back to the room. While unpacking the package in doubt, he was thinking about the so-called young man in his early twenties that the waiter just mentioned.

Geng Yan sat down on the sofa and continued to unpack the package. Jiang Mu walked behind the sofa where Geng Yan was sitting, put his arms around Geng Yan's neck through the back of the sofa chair, put his chin on Geng Yan's shoulder intimately, and asked softly, "What is it?"

Geng Yan turned his head and kissed Jiang Mu, "I don't know, and I don't know who sent it here."

The outer bag of the parcel was opened, and inside was indeed a paper bag similar to documents. Geng Yan tore off the seal of the paper bag, and shook twice with his mouth facing down. A photo fell onto the coffee table.

Geng Yan was even more puzzled, and reached out to pick up the photo on the table.

The moment he saw the photo clearly, Jiang Mu clearly felt Geng Yan's body trembling, and the next second, he also felt that the photo was inexplicably familiar.

In the photo is a little boy who looks only six or seven years old, wearing a snow-white cotton coat, a light blue knitted scarf and hat, and a pair of small black leather shoes under his feet.

Jiang Mu quickly realized that the boy's clothes in this photo were very similar to his own clothes in the six-year-old family photo on the bedside table in his apartment.

Countless question marks burst into Jiang Mu's heart. He was about to ask Geng Yan again when Geng Yan suddenly stood up from the sofa and rushed out of the room without saying a word.

Even the door of the room could not be closed in the future.

Jiang Mu stood there in a daze, listening to the sound of Geng Yan's hastily running away outside with a blank face, and after a while, he walked around to the coffee table in front of the sofa, and reached out to pick up the photo that Geng Yan had left on the table.

Taking a closer look, Jiang Mu found that the boy in the photo was dressed almost exactly the same as his six-year-old self in the family portrait. Even the face of the boy in the photo was somewhat similar, with big eyes and a very smiling face. Clever.

Jiang Mu still remembered Geng Yan's reaction when he saw his photo.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mu suddenly realized why Geng Yan had such a strong reaction just now. When he saw the photo in the photo frame next to his bed, he insisted that he was a little glutinous rice ball. Another photo of unknown origin that is no different, must also think of the little glutinous rice balls.

Because in Geng Yan's memory, his image of the little glutinous rice balls is the same as the boy in this photo.

He, Jiang Mu, denied the identity of Xiaotangyuan, and now there is another photo with the same judgment conditions. Obviously, the boy in the photo is more likely to be the person Geng Yan has been looking for.

This should be the reason why Geng Yan just rushed out in such a hurry.

He must be looking for the man who brought the package by now.

That might be the little glutinous rice balls that Geng Yan has been looking for.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Mu got up and went to the window.

With the aid of a lamppost at the entrance of the alley across the road, Jiang Mu could barely see the alley between the two buildings opposite, which was the place Geng Yan told him, where he first met that little glutinous rice ball.

The snow outside was getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Mu was lying on the window, still holding the photo in his hand and looking at it.

Is this really the little glutinous rice ball that Geng Yan has been looking for?

Jiang Mu thought in his heart, the other party would definitely not send this photo for no reason, and he must be testing Geng Yan's identity.

Maybe the two have recognized each other by now.

This is certainly a good thing.

At least for Geng Yan, the joy of finding the benefactor he misses day and night must be unprecedented.

And as Geng Yan's lover, I should also be happy for his joy.

He should also hope that his sweetheart can get his wish.

Jiang Mu was lying by the window, staring absently at the deserted and dark alley across the road. The cold wind carried snowflakes into Jiang Mu's neckline, and he shivered twice.

Geng Yan didn't come back until after ten o'clock in the evening, but Jiang Mu received a message from him.

[Daughter-in-law go to bed early, husband has something to do right now]

Jiang Mu wanted to ask Geng Yan if he had found Xiaotangyuan, but after editing the content, Jiang Mu hesitated for a few seconds, then deleted all of them, and only replied: [Well, don't be too tired. 】

Jiang Mu lay on the bed tossing and turning, insomnia until midnight before he fell asleep in a daze. After being woken up by the alarm in the morning, Jiang Mu turned over sleepily, and suddenly felt empty with his hand.

Jiang Mu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the empty pillows beside him, and realized that Geng Yan hadn't come back all night.

Jiang Mu picked up the cell phone next to his pillow and was about to call Geng Yan, but Geng Yan's call came in before him.

"Daughter-in-law, are you still asleep?"

"Just getting ready to get up." Jiang Mu listened to Geng Yan's gentle voice, and most of the gloom in his heart was swept away immediately, he said softly, "You didn't come back last night?"

"I have been checking the surveillance in this area last night."

"Look at the surveillance? Are you looking for someone?"

"En." Geng Yan's voice was full of uncontrollable joy, "Jiang Mu, do you know that I found the little glutinous rice balls."

Jiang Mu was startled, and suddenly he felt no sleepiness at all. He gripped his phone tightly and asked cautiously, "Is it because of that photo yesterday?"

"Yes, that photo was sent by Xiao Tangyuan, and he has been looking for me, but because he was not sure that the person he was looking for was me, so he used that photo to test me." Geng Yan was extremely excited, speaking quickly. It was much faster than before. "Last night, he drove away after delivering the package. I found someone to check the nearby surveillance cameras, and only then did I find where he lived."

"Then you now..." Jiang Mu asked suspiciously, "Is it at his place?"

"Yeah, I just found out his place early this morning." Geng Yan said, "He's at his house right now."

Jiang Mu paused, and said softly, "You haven't seen each other for so many years, just with a photo you... are you sure you didn't admit your mistake? He is really the little glutinous rice ball you were looking for?"

"I talked with him a lot, and what he mentioned is exactly the same as in my memory. Only Xiao Tangyuan knows about those experiences, and no one else can fake them." Geng Yan said, lowering his voice slightly, as if he was afraid of being caught at the moment. The other people around listened, "But just in case, I will find someone to investigate in private, but I must not let Xiaotangyuan know about this, otherwise it will hurt his heart."

Hearing Geng Yan's words, Jiang Mu felt that Geng Yan had already treated the person he had found so far as a dumpling.

Jiang Mu suddenly wanted to meet this man, and wanted to know what kind of person Geng Yan could care about for more than ten years.

"Then... are you going back to Zhong'an City this morning?" Jiang Mu asked softly.

"This is definitely not going back, my side..."

In the middle of Geng Yan's speech, Jiang Mu heard another voice calling "Brother Yan" from the other end of the phone. It was a very young and gentle young man's voice, and he could feel that it was a gentle person just by listening to the voice.

"Let's do this first, daughter-in-law, and I'll explain to you later." Geng Yan said quickly.

"Then I won't go back today, you send me an address, and I'll go find you right now."

"There are many winding alleys here, it's easy to get lost, so you don't need to come here." Geng Yan said softly, "I'll be back soon."

"OK then."

Jiang Mu had nothing to do after breakfast, put on a thick down jacket and left the hotel for a stroll.

After crossing the road, Jiang Mu came to the alley as if he was drawn by something, the so-called alley where Geng Yan and the little glutinous rice ball met for the first time.

Jiang Mu remembered that Geng Yan told him that the alley used to be dirty and messy, and the depth of the alley was blocked by a mudstone wall, and on the other side of the wall was another narrow alley passing through another street.

But now that wall has been demolished, pedestrians on both streets can take a closer look through this narrow alley to the other side.

With his hands in his pockets, Jiang Mu walked through the narrow alley to the street on the other side. He had only skied with Geng Yan these days, but he hadn't fully appreciated this small town with snow all year round.

This area is close to the ski resort and located on the outskirts of the city. Although it is not as prosperous as the city center, it shows the characteristics of the city to a large extent, that is, the endless white snow...

If his parents hadn't died unexpectedly in this place, Jiang Mu felt that he would love this small snow-white town very much.

I don't know how far I walked, and there was light snow in the sky again.

Jiang Mu entered a milk tea shop, ordered a cup of hot sweet tea, and walked back while drinking the hot tea.

On the side of the road, there was a sudden and harsh sound of brakes. Jiang Mu shrank his shoulders subconsciously, and then turned his head to look.

On the main road, a car suddenly stopped in front of a boy.

Although the boy was not hit, he was terrified. He sat down on the ground and cried loudly. The blue helium balloon he held in his hand subconsciously let go of the string and flew into the air.

After the driver got out of the car, he pointed at the boy and started cursing. He seemed no less frightened than the boy.

Not far away, the boy's mother ran over to protect her son, and quarreled with the driver aggressively.

Jiang Mu raised his head, and the numerous snowflakes slowly melted on his warm cheeks. His eyes followed the rising blue balloon, and the blue streamer reflected in his eyes. Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be scenes in the back of his mind. The blurry and familiar picture is flashing rapidly.

The ears suddenly became quiet, and in the quiet world, it seemed that only Jiang Mu, the balloon floating into the sky, and the cold white flakes were left in the dark sky...

When Jiang Mu's eyes returned to the ground, he suddenly found two people lying in the middle of the road. Bright red blood flowed from their bodies, slowly spreading into a pool of blood.

That is……

Jiang Mu's face was ashen, he rushed forward recklessly, and as a result, there was a downward step in front of him. He stepped on it and lost his balance, and was about to fall forward. The old man who was waiting for someone stretched out his hand quickly He grabbed Jiang Mu by the arm.

"Hey, young man, be careful." The old man said.

Jiang Mu suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the passers-by in front of him, and then quickly turned his head to look at the center of the road.

The woman was arguing with the driver, causing many passers-by to stop and watch.

"This is in a hurry to come over to watch the fun." The old man couldn't laugh or cry.

Only then did Jiang Mu realize that he had just experienced hallucinations.

It was still the scene when the parents died. At that time, it was also such a snowy day. After the mother was hit, the blue balloon that she was holding the string to give to herself flew into the sky facing Xiaoxue.

For the next ten years, until now, Jiang Mu did not dare to recall the tragic scene of that day, nor did he dare to return to this place for more than ten years.

Now he remembered that the place where his parents died in a car accident was the horse in front of him.

However, Jiang Mu actually didn't want to remember these...

"Thank you... thank you."

After saying goodbye to the old man, Jiang Mu turned around and walked back quickly.

The place suffocated him.

Any scene that overlaps with a certain scene on that day is stimulating him to recall the scene when his parents died.

At this moment, there are even more dusty and long-lasting memories, jumping in his mind one after another...
