Clear stream

Fang Ruogu woke up and found himself lying on the hospital bed, and the clock was pointing to seven o'clock.The windows of the ward are wide open, the sun outside is bright, the shadows of the trees are dancing, and occasionally there are two or three crisp birdsong.

"woke up?"

Fang Ruogu was startled suddenly, and turned his head to look, Lin Zhizhi stood on the edge of the bed with a notebook and looked at him carefully.

"Doctor Lin." Fang Ruogu stood up with difficulty, "Why am I in the hospital?"

Lin Zhizhi coughed a few times, and explained softly: "Qiu resigned to sort out Qingxi's belongings, and happened to see you lying unconscious on the balcony, so he brought you here."

This short sentence was full of loopholes, Fang Ruogu was so confused that he didn't notice it, he closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said, "Thank you."

Lin Zhizhi said, "You just drank too fast. After the treatment last night, you are no longer in serious trouble." She pointed to the steaming white rice porridge by the bedside, "But for the time being, you can only drink liquid food for breakfast."

Fang Ruogu said: "His relics, can you show me?"

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Lin Zhizhi thought hard, trying to find a suitable reason, "Your identity is more sensitive, I don't know if the Xi family can accept you."

The precautions that Lin Zhizhi explained went in the left ear and out the right ear, and when she left the ward, Fang Ruogu quickly took out his mobile phone and called Qiu Ci.

His phone was dropped just now, and the tempered film was shattered into spider webs. Fortunately, the inner screen was not damaged and can still be used normally.

"Quickly fart, let people not sleep early in the morning." Qiu Ci's tone was quite irritable, obviously woke up and angry when he got up.

"When you called me last night, what did you say?" Fang Ruogu paused for three seconds, "Except for his funeral."

Qiu Ci: "?"

"I'm slobbering all the time, and my throat is full of smoke. Did you just listen to this sentence?" After complaining for a while, he cleared his throat and said seriously, "I think there is something wrong with the car accident."

Fang Ruogu's breath stagnates: "You mean, he didn't die, right?"

"The cause of the accident has been found out. It was the Maybach's brake failure that crashed into the truck." Qiu Ci's tone was low and suspicious, "What worries me is that the driver who caused the accident has applied for bail pending trial..."

"There's no need to analyze." Fang Ruogu's tone was obviously low when he didn't get the desired answer, "On the afternoon of the accident, Fan Zhen went to the company to remind Xi Qingxi that someone would attack him."

Qiu Ci gasped, gritted his teeth and said, "You have such an important clue, why don't you tell me earlier?"

Fang Ruogu said: "You didn't even give me a chance to speak."

"Then according to what you say, isn't this just an ordinary struggle between wealthy families?"

"You call this normal?"

"It's indeed commonplace for wealthy families." Qiu Ci yawned and said, "I've got nothing to do, I'll hang up first, and finally take a vacation."

Fang Ruogu: "Yes..."

"Don't worry about it. Since it's a rich family's grievance, do you still expect the police to find out something? Even if they want to investigate, they will be suppressed." Qiu Ci yawned and had to suppress sleepiness to give him some advice, "The rich family It’s a rich family, if you really want to find out, you have to go to a rich family.”

Fang Ruogu thought for a long time, remembering that Xi Qingxi once told him that the financial backer behind Fan Zhen had a lot of background, and he really had to start with him.

The sun came out for the first time this morning.The morning sun in early spring has no temperature, lazily passing through the gaps in the pine needle trees, and casting light beams of different thicknesses on the tombstones.The breeze blew up, and the leaves swayed with the wind, like a mournful sob.

In the black and white photos, the facial features of the people are exquisite, and the peach blossom eyes are full of affection, and the tails of the eyes are slightly raised when they smile, and they are as warm as jade.The scar on the forehead seems to have been repaired, and the skin looks smooth and flawless.

He was buried in the forest behind the main house, where there is sunshine and lakes, birds singing and flowers scenting.

Since the news of Xi Qingxi's death was not disclosed to the public, only immediate family members of Xi's family attended the funeral.Fang Ruogu originally thought that he was not qualified to enter the main residence of the Xi family, but Xi Qin came to pick him up in person.

Xi Qin didn't make any unnecessary explanations, but said, "This is Qingxi's last wish."

In addition to being flattered, Fang Ruogu felt a subtle sense of disobedience in his heart.

At the funeral, Xi Qin, who was wearing a black formal suit, took the cold urn to the master of ceremonies and watched it being buried quietly.Rao is a well-maintained woman, and it is not difficult to see the fine wrinkles at the end of her eyes.

A bouquet of fresh white daisies is placed in front of the tombstone, adding a touch of color to the gray and white.The inconspicuous little flower is so full of vitality, which is in sharp contrast to the frozen smile in the photo.

Fang Ruogu stood in the distance for a long time, and after the Xi's family members finished paying their respects, he walked towards the tombstone without haste and knelt down.

He didn't know Xi Qingxi's preferences, and felt that there was no flower that could match his temperament.So simply empty-handed, nothing with.

Pale fingers slowly stroked the photo, gently tracing his outline, and finally stopped at the smooth forehead, where the crescent-shaped scar was.

"You are so afraid of pain, how painful it must be when the truck hits it..." His eyes were haunted, his fingers gripped the tombstone tightly, and with too much force, he actually scratched a few blood marks on the marble, " It's okay, I will hurt with you."

The old man Xi standing tall and tall like a pine looked at Fang Ruogu with an expression of surprise, and suddenly hit the ground with a cane, and his voice was like a bell: "Pull him away!"

Two tall and burly men in black couldn't help but support Fang Ruogu and retreated a few meters away. His hands were hanging down weakly, and his fingers were bloody.

Mr. Xi staggered forward, knelt down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on the stele vigorously.The breeze lifted the silver threads on his temples, and he seemed to have aged a few years overnight. At this time, he was not the all-powerful pillar of the Xi family, but an ordinary old man who lost his beloved grandson.

"Dad, don't be angry." Xi Qin helped him up, "It's better to let him go, don't disturb Qingxi."

"Yes." Xi Mu quickly walked to the other side of Mr. Xi to support him, and echoed, "Why do you have to be angry with the junior, be careful not to be angry."

Mr. Xi gave him a sideways glance, and pointedly said: "Hmph, don't let someone with a heart leak the news."

After finishing speaking, they pushed away the two of them and leaned on crutches, turned around and left. Seeing this, Xi Mu followed suit step by step.

The shackles on Fang Ruogu's body disintegrated with the departure of Mr. Xi, and he stumbled towards the tombstone, unwilling to leave.

"You should go." Xi Qin reminded.

Fang Ruogu ignored it.

Xi Qin was not angry, but bent down to approach him, and said in a low voice, "If you really like my son, don't waste your time here. You don't need me to remind you what to do?"

Xi Qin patted Fang Ruogu on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the house, completely ignoring that he, an outsider, stayed alone within the scope of the Xi family's main house.

Fang Ruogu's eyes gradually recovered, and he carefully recalled what Xi Qin had said to him.

"This is Qingxi's last wish."

It was Xi Qingxi's last wish that he come to the funeral, but why did Xi Qingxi know that he would die?

What is Xi Qin reminding him of?
