The O that wants to mark the A

From the small living room to the study, the total walking distance is only 2 minutes, but Luo Can always acted like a wandering soul, until the study door was closed, he still hadn't "normalized" the expression on his face.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Luo Yinchuan scratched his face twice like a knife, and then continued without waiting for him to answer, "It seems that there is something you don't understand tonight. a lot."

"Yes." Luo Can was awakened by his words, her eyes regained consciousness immediately, but her expression became complicated.

Luo Yinchuan glanced at him, walked past him to the table and opened the drawer, took out a cigar from the wooden humidor inside and put it on the table: "There are some things you need to know sooner or later, and I will tell you once and for all today Be clear."

While responding, Luo Can took the knife from the shelf, cut off the cap of the cigar for him familiarly, picked up the lighter from the table, wiped it with a ding, and put the end of the cigar on the flame to turn it to burn .

In the gap, Luo Yinchuan took out a key, opened a drawer under the desk, and found a photo album with little movement.

When the cigar was completely lit, Luo Can handed it to Luo Yinchuan, and stepped aside, waiting for him to speak.

Luo Yinchuan pushed the photo album in front of him, took a puff on the cigar, and exhaled the smoke lightly: "Look."

Luo Can opened it as she said.

The photo on the top of the first page of the album is a Polaroid photo paper. A young woman with a face quite similar to Si Xia is looking down at the cake lit by candlelight, with her fingers crossed on her chest, as if making a wish.

Luo Yinchuan stared at the photo, and took another puff of the cigar. The smoke clearly passed through his mouth in a circle, but it made him feel like he was penetrating into the inside of his body. The hot moisture was slowly spit out by him. The expression on his face concealed a bit of confusion.

"It was Jingrou's birthday that day. It was the first time I took a picture of her. The light in the store was very dark, but her facial contours were delicate and soft, and I could see her clearly..."

***

After Luo Yinchuan and the others went upstairs, Sixia immediately left the small living room, asked the nanny about the general layout of the first floor, and said that she would go to the bathroom to tidy up and then go back to the guest room to rest, and would not trouble her for the time being.

As soon as the nanny heard that she could rest for a while, she was of course very happy to leave the stage, and disappeared from Sixia's field of vision in three or two steps.

As soon as she left, Sixia turned her head from the direction of the bathroom, ready to go to the other end of the corridor, but was stopped by someone: "Brother Sixia?"

The sound came from the bathroom.

Si Xia looked around and saw that there was no corridor and no one else, so she went into the bathroom.

Standing in the bathroom was a boy wearing sky-blue silk pajamas. He looked like he was still in primary school, his hair was combed back into a mature side part, his body was standing upright, his expression was like a decent little gentleman, and he was serious. It's all childish.

After sizing him up, Si Xia turned around and closed the bathroom door, calling out his name in a low voice: "Wu You."

The boy frowned slightly, opened his eyes wide, and corrected him: "Brother Sixia, I've changed my name to Luoyou now."

"Oh." Si Xia responded coldly, "I have something to ask you."

The boy blinked his dark eyes: "What does brother Sixia want to ask?"

"What happened in the orphanage the day you were adopted? Did you see my sister? Do you know why she went out?"

He asked these questions to everyone in the orphanage back then, except Luo You who was taken away that day and never went back.He has always believed that Luo You should be the person closest to the truth of the incident, otherwise he would not be able to attract Luo Yinchuan's attention due to his not-so-excellent appearance and personality—this is why he asked Luo Yinchuan to bring him to Luoyou today. The purpose of the house.

Luo You showed hesitation, hesitated for two or three seconds, and then said, "Brother Sixia, are you sure you want to listen?"

Si Xia stared at his face: "What do you mean?"

As soon as Luo You met his eyes, he looked down at the upper of his slippers: "I heard about the matter between you and brother Can...that matter is related to brother Can, I'm afraid you won't be happy when you hear it."

"Whether I'm happy or not is my business, you just say what you know."

When Luo You was still Wu You, he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Si Xia always ignored the cubs in the orphanage who belonged to monkeys, and would not be polite if he dared to make troubles on his own head. I was very impatient in my heart, and my tone became more and more bad.

"Hmm..." Luo You lowered his eyes and lowered his head, hiding an imperceptible smile, and began to narrate in a low voice.

"At that time, my father went to the orphanage to adopt a child. He sat in the office and looked at the roster, and asked Brother Can to go around to see if there were any children who were compatible with his eyes. Brother Can brought sweets and snacks and gave them to us. Those The snacks are as good as they are packaged, everyone wants them, and he hasn’t divided much, so we can’t wait, many people put their hands into the bags and grabbed them..."

"Talk about the point."

"The following is the key point." Luo You stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, "The people we snatched hid in the corner to eat, and we planned to eat some before taking it. When I left, I saw a shiny and beautiful one on the ground. I picked it up and took it away to play with it...I later found out that it was brother Can's restraint bracelet."

When he said this, he bit his lip and looked up at Si Xia uneasily.

Si Xia's expression has become very ugly, there is no light in the strange-colored eyes, like a black abyss and dirty earth and rocks: "Then what?"

"Then I ate, and when I went back to get more snacks, brother Can disappeared, and the rest of the people dragged the bag to the library with their mouths in their mouths, and their pockets were stuffed. Pulling it into his arms, the trainer came in and scolded us, and fined us to stand against the wall for more than ten minutes..." Luo You saw Sixia's naturally drooping hands clenched into fists little by little, swallowed, He took a step back, his lips trembled, and he spoke incoherently, "When I realized that it belonged to Brother Can, I wanted to return it...to him...to see if I could get some more candy...I looked for it everywhere... He... searched for a long time, and finally saw him come out of a girls' dormitory in a panic..."

Si Xia took a step forward and grabbed Luo You by the collar: "What else did you see? Say it all, make it clear."

There was cold and sharp anger in his voice, the flame was blue and could not be seen as hot, but the temperature was higher than the red one, every word was scorching.

Luo You was a little timid when he saw him, and he hadn't been beaten for a long time, and he was arrogant and expensive. At this moment, he grinned, as if he was about to cry: "He closes the door quickly... I didn't see clearly , I heard someone yelling in a low voice, and then he snatched the bracelet from my hand, took me to see my father, and then I was taken back to Luo's house... Cough cough, Brother Sixia, you're strangling me..."

Because she knew his bad temper in the past, Si Xia showed no pity for his pretentious weakness, still clenched his collar tightly, and continued to ask: "On the way you were brought here, did you hear them say what else?"

Luo You clasped both hands on the back of Si Xia's hand, and subconsciously wanted to push it away, but he didn't dare to use force: "I, I don't remember..."

Si Xia pushed her hard against the wall: "I remembered it clearly before, why don't I remember it when I get here?"

Luo You couldn't break free, so he had to raise his head and stand on tiptoe, trying to let himself take a good breath: "Just, just a few words...Brother Can asked my father, what should I do... Father said that he has sent someone to deal with it, Tell him not to mention..."

"How to deal with it specifically?"

Luo You's face was flushed, and he gestured with both hands in mid-air: "Just... just give money according to the situation, and suppress the momentum. If you don't eat the toast, then the next step is to find someone to threaten..."

Si Xia stared into his eyes for a while, asked the question in several different ways over and over again, and finally let go of her hand gradually.

Luo You smoothed out the crumpled pajamas, unbuttoned the top button, and took a good breath.

Just as he wanted to say goodbye, he immediately ran away, but before he could take a step, Si Xia said again: "Turn around, put your hands behind your back and squat down."

Luo You couldn't guess what he was going to do, and was a little flustered: "Brother Sixia, I really told everything I know..."

Si Xia's tone was tough and she could not refuse: "Don't make me say it a second time."

Luo You had no choice but to do so reluctantly.

Sixia took a few steps back, turned on the phone, backed up the recording, put her ear on the door and listened to the surrounding movement, and then said again: "How is Luo Yinchuan treating you?"

Luo You thought for a while and replied, "It's okay."

"It's okay, just stay honest. Don't think that after staying in the Luo family for two years, you can see a little bit of superficiality, and you think that you have a good abacus, and you are not smart enough. If you have the time, read more books."

"I didn't plan to..."

Sixia couldn't help but stop him: "Pretending is useless to me. If you really don't want to say something, you should avoid me from the beginning." Sixia put her phone away and stared at his little back squatting on the ground Said, "I have recorded everything you said, and I will check it later, if your account of Luo Yinchuan and Luo Can is inaccurate at all, then you can stop staying at Luo's house. "

Luo You was most afraid of leaving this comfort zone and being beaten back to his original shape. Hearing this, he immediately shook his head and trembled all over his body: "There is no inaccuracy, I swear to God, all the narrations about them are the truth!"

"I don't believe in oaths." Sixia stepped forward and said in an inaudible voice, "Listen, it's a coincidence that you and I met today. If someone asks..."

Just as he was weaving his lines, the conversation upstairs was coming to an end and fell into silence.

The cigar in Luo Yinchuan's hand was half burned, and the photo album in Luo Can's hand was turned to the last page.

Luo Can had heard a lot from Luo Yinchuan just now, as if she had witnessed the whole process of the other party from falling in love to getting married—in fact, the love of his adoptive father, who is fierce and perverted, is no different from most people in the world. It's just that more than 20 years ago, the love between Beta and Omega was much more difficult than it is today, and Luo Yinchuan's father-in-law happened to be an Alpha with a particularly bad temper.

It's just that Luo Yinchuan doesn't seem to want to talk about the sad past while smoking a cigar and relaxing, so those hardships have been filtered by him to only a faint layer.

From this, Luo Can was convinced that Luo Yinchuan really loved his wife—that is, Si Xia's mother.

So he closed the album, and asked softly involuntarily, "Then... where is Sixia?"
