Soot, Moonlight, Vodka

Qin Butler greeted Chen Zhuo, who was busy in the world, at the gate of the villa.

Chen Zhuo's exhaustion and anxiety made Butler Qin feel heartbroken. He still remembered how high-spirited Chen Zhuo was last year and the year before the year before. Both career and love reached the peak. Chen Zhuo won the best actor award at the most influential film festival , thanked his favorite person in his speech.

In a blink of an eye, the boy is no longer the boy he was then.

Butler Qin took Chen Zhuo to the yard that was hit by wind and rain. The small yard was not big, but it carried the warm memories of Chen Zhuo and Lu Xingze's youth.

That was when Chen Zhuo had just finished filming his first movie, and he was exhausted physically and mentally. Lu Xingze brought him to the Maldives to relax. The two of them arranged this yard together on a whim.

They planted sugar palm trees at the two corners of the far end. The trunks are tall and straight, and the long and pointed leaves are verdant and green, blooming like fireworks.Chen Zhuo likes all kinds of roses, and Lu Xingze planted unique flower beds for him. Lu Xingze likes scarf flowers, and Chen Zhuo also bought and planted them. I heard that this flower is the most romantic, and the petals of different colors fit together. Looking from a distance, it looks like clouds and clouds.There are also strelitzia, butterfly grass, Venus fruit...

They had been so happy in this Paradise.

——"Look, the little rose has bloomed, and there it is."

——"I folded a paper crane and put it in a strelitzia bush. I'll give you 10 seconds to see if you can find it?"

—— "Xingzhe... This hammock is so comfortable, I don't want to get down for the rest of my life."

The sun shines generously, the leaves are blown by the wind to make a slight "rustling" sound, and the scent of flowers is intoxicating.

It's all in the past.

Chen Zhuo stepped into the yard, taking a panoramic view of the mess on the ground.

"I'm really sorry Mr. Chen, we didn't get the rainstorm warning in advance, and we tried various methods to remedy it, but the situation of the first round of night rainstorm was too violent..."

Qin Butler led a group of servants and gardeners to stand at the entrance of the yard, reporting the situation to Chen Zhuo.

Most of the plants in the yard failed to escape the catastrophe. Only the rose flower bed was in a good position, blocked by walls and trees, and was safe and sound.

Messy and crooked flower stalks, scattered petals, and dark flower cores.

Chen Zhuo squatted down in vain, trying to hold Hua Hua's body, but felt dizzy and fell forward.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" Butler Qin leaned over and grabbed his arm.

"...Master Lin, tell me which ones can still be saved and which ones can't be saved." Chen Zhuo said to the gardener.

"...Okay, okay."

"Mr. Chen came in a hurry, he must be tired, the bathroom and breakfast are ready for you..."

"Not urgent."

Master Lin quickly accompanied Chen Zhuo to check the plants in the yard. Half of them could be transplanted or grafted, and the other half could not be saved.

Chen Zhuo's tears fell into the soil one by one.

He almost desperately wondered if Lu Xingze was angry and disappointed with himself and let a heavy rain destroy the garden.

Is this his punishment for living with Xia Zhifeng?

How much he hoped that Lu Xingze could show up again, even if it was to punish him, even if it was to condemn him.

Xia Zhifeng called Chen Zhuo several times, but no one answered.

He had no choice but to ask Ji Ming for help, and asked Ji Ming to contact the people over there to learn about Chen Zhuo's status.

"It can be seen that he is holding on, and he will do anything to save those flowers and plants." Ji Ming said: "I fainted once in the evening, it should be caused by overwork, the family doctor diagnosed and treated him, and now I am resting. "

Xia Zhifeng propped his forehead with one hand, speechless for a while.

"What's wrong?" Ji Ming asked.

"I'm such a beast." Xia Zhifeng said calmly.

Now that the name of the season is changing, I am speechless for a long time.

"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" Ji Ming asked the question that had always puzzled him: "If he knew you were still alive, maybe he wouldn't be in such pain."

"If he knew that the only person he loved was a complete liar, not only lied to him that he had a terminal illness, but also lied to his death, lied to his feelings twice, what do you think he would think? I really don't know, it's time to confess to He caused a greater blow, or Lu Xingze's death caused him a greater blow."

Ji Ming was silent for a while, and said, "Can I tell the truth?"

"Say."

"Is it possible that what you are most afraid of is not how much he will be hit, but that once he knows the truth, he will not love you. The most unacceptable thing for you is to lose his love."

"So you think I should confess?"

"...I don't mean that. I also agree with what you said. If you let him know the truth, his spiritual pillar may collapse... Now he still has at least one good thing in his heart, and that is the memory of him and Lu Xingze." Ji Ming paused: "I'm sorry, I'm actually not qualified to comment on the things between you, so just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xia Zhifeng lit another cigarette.

He felt that love was too elusive, and love had a strong desire for revenge. He played with love, and love played with him, returning his disdain and contempt to him, leaving him restless for a moment.

Xia Zhifeng picked up the phone, but there was still no news from Chen Zhuo, except for the "Be careful, don't worry" that he sent before, followed by the word "Okay" without warmth.

He thought about many possibilities, such as stopping here, letting Lu Xingze stay in Chen Zhuo's heart forever, and never disturbing Chen Zhuo's life again.

For example, if you confess everything to Chen Zhuo and then meet Chen Zhuo's trial, it is likely that Chen Zhuo doesn't want to talk to him again for the rest of his life.

For example, just continue like this, endure it, live every day, don't know where the future is, and wait for a miracle to happen.

The first two are obviously not what Xia Zhifeng wants, he can't bear Chen Zhuo's departure, he can't accept that he will never be able to contact Chen Zhuo, and he can't accept that Chen Zhuo hates him.

Ironically, he made Chen Zhuo suffer this pain.

"Lu Xingze, you are a beast, Xia Zhifeng, you are no exception." Xia Zhifeng looked at the foggy night, there was not even a moonlight tonight.

When Chen Zhuo was tending flowers and plants, he received the news that Fu Meng had come to help him.

"This torrential rain is too outrageous." Fu Meng put on the same overalls as Chen Zhuo, and took tools.

He has learned a little gardening, so he can help Chen Zhuo.

"It's okay, ah, don't worry, let's tidy up together, and the yard will be restored soon. I also encountered a similar thing when I was growing flowers, and the flowers that were re-transplanted later bloomed better than before. .” Fu Meng said.

"Really?"

"I won't lie to you, I'm not the same as that surnamed Lu." Fu Meng said half-jokingly.

"He won't lie to me either." Chen Zhuo said, "He said so."

Fu Meng sighed inwardly.

Chen Zhuo was really easy to deceive, he believed him from beginning to end, thanks to Lu Xingze he was able to do it.
