Ambush from all sides

Now...they have met three times, but each time they have to part in a hurry.This little person, this child who has been disappointed and disgusted with himself, but now he cares the most...

Feelings rushed to his throat, and the dead leaves choked his throat, making him speechless.He could only hug the fourth son tightly, tighter, tighter.

"Little Yezi, what's the matter with you?" The child nestled in his arms in doubt and worry. He had never seen such a passionate action before, and was a little at a loss for a while: "Are you all right, Little Yezi?"

"I, I'm fine." Withered Leaf buried her face on his little shoulder, her voice was intermittent, as if choked with sobs.He tried hard to control his emotions, sniffed hard, calmed down for a while, and then gently let the little guy go: "I just... suddenly want to hug you."

The fourth son stared at him blankly, reached out and touched his right cheek: "Want to hug me? Well, hug me if you want, whatever you want!" He was a little puzzled for a while, and then took the initiative to nest into the dead leaves in the bosom.The chubby arms wrapped around his neck, and the little fat face rubbed against him vigorously: "Little Si is easy to hug, you can hug him however you want in the future!"

Withered Leaf bit her lip, and couldn't help but hugged it gently with her hands.He closed his eyes in pain, buried in the little guy's clothes and sobbed indistinctly: "Thank you, little four, thank you..."

The restless emotions finally calmed down slowly at this time.Holding the fourth son in his arms, Dead Leaf almost didn't want to think about the upcoming parting, about the unknown future, the doomed pain and parting... for a moment he hoped that all these things could be left behind, and time would stop here. He holds a lovely and innocent person in his arms.

It's just a pity that time won't stop, and the fourth son doesn't belong to him after all—on the front yard, Gongsun is yelling loudly, "Come here, fourth son, Xiao Liangzi and Jiujiu are back!" Hearing the good news , the little guy immediately became excited in his arms: "Ah, Xiaoliangzi and Jiujiu!" Dead Ye let go of him in good time, and quickly adjusted his expression to be more natural.Looking at the jumping little guy, the corners of his mouth curled up stiffly, and he said in a low voice: "They're back, then you go over, I'll continue practicing."

"Well! Then I'll go first, Little Yezi, practice hard. From now on, you can hug me if you want, and you can hug me whenever you want!" After finishing speaking, the little guy stuck out his tongue playfully at him, and then jumped up and down three times rushed out.Seeing his back running away quickly in the yard, Dead Ye's excited heart gradually became cold again.The night was silent, the wind was cold, and it was snowing again.He choked his throat, looked up at the sky, saw the fine and broken snowflakes were falling down one after another, Xiaodouzi stood on the eaves, his feathers exploded into a round pompom, trembling faintly.

Looking at it, the pain in Dead Leaf's heart could not help but deepened.The little Douzi who is always acting coquettish and cute, the blood-red and round Bi Lizhu... Zhan Hao shouldn't have given it to him.He is indifferent, headstrong and decisive, not a suitable lover for Zhan Hao.This bead should be worn around the neck by the right person.

In the cold wind, the dead leaves closed their eyes tightly, and after a long time, they opened them again in a daze.Looking at the night sky, he hoarsely called Xiaodouzi's name.The bird was very sensitive to his voice, woke up almost immediately, and flew to his shoulder with a "chirp".The little guy was still very affectionate and coquettish on his shoulder, rubbing against his neck non-stop.Withered Leaf pursed her lips tightly, and gently grasped it in her hand.The little bird's black bean eyes looked at him eagerly, and its little paws waved from time to time.From Xiaodouzi's eyes, Dead Leaf seems to be able to see her own face—a face that is forbearing, painful, dilapidated, and bound by adversity.

It's time to go, it's time to get rid of the relationship.

He bit his lip hard, and wrapped the chain of Bi Lizhu around the bird's neck round and round, pinching the feathers delicately.Xiaodouzi tilted his head in doubt, as if he didn't understand what he was doing.After wrapping up the chain, Dead Leaf looked at it in pain, slowly closed her eyes, and kissed the little guy's forehead lightly.

Then, he threw the little bean into the dark night sky.

"Go to Zhan Hao, go to him... let's go."

I am not your destiny, and you will not become my weakness and my persistence.You like me, I like you, but so what?After all, we have to separate, now or in the future.

Little birds, flying in the dark night sky, flying in the swirling snowflakes.It flapped its wings vigorously in the wind, went south along the cold air, and rushed to its only remaining and only master.

At night, there was a snowfall in Changzhou Mansion. It was so heavy, so heavy that it covered the whole city overnight, and it was so big that the lake on the back mountain was completely frozen into ice.

The snow drifted into the morning of the next day.Zhan Hao was wearing a ferret fur coat, sitting quietly on a stone by the lake.Thin snowflakes fell on his hair, which looked like white hair.During the day, the glare reflected off the frozen lake made his dim vision a little clearer, and he could see the faint white shadows of trees in the distance.

Behind him, Nie Qi walked slowly over the snow with a jug of shochu, and sat down beside him.Nie Qi narrowed his eyes and stared at the white ice surface, lazily said: "It's so dazzling, thanks to you being able to sit still."

Zhan Hao smiled softly, and said indifferently, "I can't see it, what does it matter?"

"Hey, you are still some distance away from being blind, right?" Nie Qi laughed, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then said leisurely: "It's also strange, how come you haven't completely lost your sight for so long, it seems that the last torment is a bit far away Indefinitely."

Zhan Hao smiled and remained silent, his eyes still glued to the lake.Nie Qi didn't speak at the side, and drank a pot of wine intermittently.Looking at the opposite shore of the lake, he somehow thought of the three farmers before, so he laughed in a low voice: "Speaking of which, do you know what rumors are spreading outside?"

Zhan Hao turned his head to look at him, with a slight smile on his face: "What?"

"There are so many versions. Some say that the boss of the Zhan family is really a ghost, and he survives by absorbing people's energy. He killed a person by the lake that day. Others say that the current boss of the Zhan family is a vixen." , Snake spirit, wearing a painted skin, in fact, the real one has become nourishment. The others are messy, only one is barely reliable, saying that the Zhan family actually has a twin brother, and the two brothers are at odds, and one of them is Feed the other with chronic poison, imprison it, and only occasionally bring it out to let the wind out."

"It's really exciting." Zhan Hao couldn't help laughing, shaking his head helplessly.Nie Qi was also helpless, put down the jug and spread his hands, and said lazily: "Yeah, I still like to speculate like before, spread rumors, and say it as if it's true. But, are you really sure about this move?" Useful? It’s so far away from Kaifeng, can it be passed on?”

Zhan Hao lowered his head and chuckled, blinking his eyes resolutely: "Kaifeng Mansion is not far away, I'm a celebrity after all, and the common people like the anecdotes of these rich families the most."

Nie Qi also laughed, lazily laying his body on the snow: "Then, you can be sure that Cen Erxiao will come back immediately after hearing the rumors?"

"I'm not sure... But, he should be in good health now, and he is probably hesitating. If you stimulate him with these things, he should be able to understand what's going on. I remember that Cen Bie met you , I also know that you are my father, and he can still figure out the way others can't figure it out."

"Really?" Nie Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, his eyes seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Unexpectedly, my daughter-in-law remembers me. I was still confused when I was him, and I have forgotten it long ago."

"How come, not only did I remember, but I also noticed that you don't have a mole under your left eye."

"Oh, my daughter-in-law has a good eye, so I don't have to worry about him confusing my husband and father-in-law. Before, I was afraid that one day he would rush out and kiss me on the face..." Nie Qi shook his head and teased casually, It also made Zhan Hao laugh.There were only the two of them around the silent ice lake, with identical faces, they both looked at the snow scene absent-mindedly.

After a while, a small black shadow appeared far away in the high and clear sky.It was flapping its wings vigorously, and was flying towards this side with a "thumping la la". Nie Qi heard the movement first, so he raised his head to look.The little black spot was getting closer and closer, and the red head could be seen faintly. Zhan Hao moved his ears and raised his head sharply: "...Little Douzi?"

"Chirp!" The little guy replied from a distance, and then crashed into Nie Qi's arms.Hearing its cry, Zhan Hao couldn't help but feel delighted: "Could it be that Cen Bie is back?" Nie Qi also recognized that it was a smelling bird, and was about to tease it for recognizing the wrong owner, but the next moment, he There was something found in the fluffy feathers on the bird's neck.

Zhan Hao was looking forward to news from Cen Bie, but when he heard no sound from him, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Why did Xiaodouzi come back? Did it bring back some letter?"

Nie Qi in front of him was still silent, not speaking.Zhan Hao couldn't help but wrinkled his brows and looked at him, trying to see if there was a note tied to Xiaodouzi's body.But he squinted his eyes, and only vaguely saw the movement of Nie Qi's hand withdrawing from the bird's body.

Then, he heard Nie Qi say in a slow, stagnant tone: "There is no letter, it brought back the Bilizhu that you gave to Cenbie."

When Zhan Hao heard his words, he was stunned for a moment.He opened his cloudy eyes, and he couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence... What is it called, it brought back the Bilizhu for Cenbie?Bi Lizhu is back, shouldn't Cen Bie be back too?He personally put this bead on the little fox's neck, and he even told him not to take it off, it was his if he gave it to him... Why did only Bilizhu come back?

Seeing his bewildered and unbelievable expression, Nie Qi couldn't bear it.He reached out and patted his son's shoulder, put the beads in his hand, and said, "That's it, Bi Lizhu came back, but he didn't have it. He didn't want Bi Lizhu, so he asked Wenxiangniao to return it to you."

He doesn't want Bilizhu, Cen doesn't want Bilizhu... Cen doesn't want to come back, he doesn't want to be with him.

That's what that phrase means.

Even if he likes it, even if he prepares a perfect life for him, even if he takes risks and touches toxicity for him, and wants to grow old with him, he doesn't want to be with him.

How do you say a word?

Sometimes love can last forever, but sometimes it can only end in scars.In the world, people come and go, get together and leave, life after life, that's all.Whoever leaves whoever gives up whoever, there is no right or wrong, and no reason or answer is needed.

Just like six years ago, he resolutely betrayed Lin Zhihuan's feelings, but today, Dead Leaf gave up being with him.

It's just a different choice.

Looking at the vast white snow in front of him, Zhan Hao opened his eyes, holding the Bilizhu in his hand, sat for a while, then stood up staggeringly.He pursed his lips tightly, with a serious and stiff expression in his eyes... He turned and walked away, walking straight towards the exhibition house along the way he came.Nie Qi stood up worriedly, couldn't bear it but looked eagerly at the back of his son staggering away, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

Zhan Hao strode forward, facing the snow curtain, stepping his boots into the soft snow again and again, his back was determined and embarrassed.

He bit his lip, his face showed a stiff posture, his eyebrows were stretched, his eyes were opened hard, and the corners of his mouth were pursed.He seemed to be fine, fine and appropriate, but Nie Qi knew that his heart was broken.

The clearing by the lake is open and the sky is high.In the snowy curtain, Nie Qi watched his back getting farther and smaller, and the surrounding was gray and stagnant snow.He walked hastily, as if to avoid a hot pursuit, a lover who had left him.

He didn't win this bet.He gave up his life and gave all his feelings...in exchange for nothing.

does it worth……?have no idea.

Do you regret...?have no idea.

Perhaps in the past, Zhan Hao could flatly say that he would not regret and ignore the consequences, but when the result of betrayal came before him, he realized that the feeling of being abandoned is really uncomfortable, very, very uncomfortable.He couldn't breathe anymore, and for a moment he even choked up and wanted to cry a little.

Zhan Hao remembered the dream he had a long time ago, the night he just brought the dead leaves home, the dream he had.The dead leaves squatted under the magnolia tree with their backs to him. He stood behind and fell into a deep and cold lake.The pressure of the lake water made him unable to breathe. His whole body was stiff, and he felt that his body was gradually surrounded by stinging pain, and his heart was beating violently, as if it was going to rush out of his chest.

Just like how he feels at this moment.

He fell in love with Cen Bie, and then Cen Bie gave him up... From then on, he fell into darkness.

Shortness of breath, throbbing pain in the five internal organs, loss of feeling in both legs, just walking forward unconsciously.In the pain and dizziness, Zhan Hao couldn't help but float before his eyes, and the soles of his feet were sunk in the snow, and it became more and more difficult to pull them out.His footsteps were stagnant, his chest was stagnant, and in his blurred vision, the houses in the distance slowly began to twist, bit by bit being rotated into a small black spot in the center of his vision.The black spot was getting bigger and thicker, and he felt that he couldn't hold it anymore... His body shook for a while, and then again... Then, he fell heavily into the snow, and his eyes were dark.

Zhan Hao instantly lost his sight.
