Recapture

Twilight is coming together, shrouded in a dark blue veil, and the lights outside the banquet hall are bright.Under the leadership of the waiters, the guests walked through the huge back garden and entered the auditorium through another gate.

Most of the people who watched the ceremony were from their parents' generation, and they were led to sit at the front.The entire auditorium was bright as day, and Yang Huaiqing was startled as soon as he entered the door with his dress in hand. He poked Chen Siqi's arm beside him, and said with a smile, "Engagement is such a big show, so what about getting married?"

"You just want the Milky Way, do you believe that Si Qi can get it here with you?" Si Bei walked beside Si Peinan, protecting him if there was nothing, and still teased Yang Huaiqing.

"That must be, otherwise why would I marry him!" Yang Huaiqing snorted softly, his face full of pride.

Si Peinan lowered his head and laughed too.

"Nannan, from now on, you should treat your daughter-in-law like your brother-in-law treats me." Si Peinan, as Yang Huaiqing's only audience, is now inexplicably reminded of him. The voice of Huaiqing's cousin is unquestionable, and he looks suspiciously at him. .

Si Peinan nodded again and again, "Okay, I will obey."

Hearing what Si Peinan said, she nodded approvingly.

Si Peinan touched his nose in embarrassment, seeing that Yang Huaiqing was already waiting in the audience, but why did the group of them go back instead.

He turned his head to look at the couple in surprise, turned his head and asked Si Bei in a low voice: "Don't we have to follow Cousin Huaiqing? Where are we going?"

"Here." Mu Zeze's footsteps stopped suddenly. They were now stopping on the left side of the bench, and there were a group of elder relatives and friends sitting in front of him. He looked back and saw that the people who were talking were all here. He went to After walking a few steps, he said, "Choose a seat at random."

The people behind were not polite, and took their seats nearby. Si Peinan sat on the outermost edge, and Captain Huo Si sat on the other outermost edge.The distance between two people is the furthest.

The master of ceremonies was an elderly priest with a pair of tortoiseshell round-frame glasses hanging from the bridge of his nose. He stood between the two newcomers with a microphone. Not to mention it really felt like a medieval engagement ceremony. Beyond dazzling.

The pastor’s voice was not very loud, and it was only with the microphone that the entire auditorium could barely hear his voice. It may be related to customs, and the pastor’s speech was mixed with Chinese and English.

Si Peinan really couldn't stand it. When he was a teenager, he didn't like studying liberal arts because it was too hypnotic. The teacher spit all over the place, and he could sleep for a whole class in a leisurely way. Books, literary works and other miscellaneous things, in short, it is more refreshing than the teacher's lectures.

The old pastor's tone was so peaceful, Si Peinan had already started to doze silently with his head down, clapping his hands with the people around him from time to time, barely following the process.

Captain Huos over there was fine, not that sleepy, but he wasn't serious either, bowing his head and talking softly from time to time.

"When will his ceremony end?" Captain Hoss played with the matchbox in his hand, Victorian embossing techniques, with a bit of medieval darkness, the woman was lifelike, and her eyes were untouched.

But it's just a matchbox.

Zhou Zhining looked away from the matchbox, knowing that every time he got addicted to smoking, he would hold the matchbox in his hand and play with it: "Want to smoke?" Finally, he looked down at his watch: "This is where you are, newcomer He is wearing an engagement ring, and there are three more things to come." Zhou Zhining was very patient, and Captain Huo Si felt a tired look on his brows after hearing this.

Zhou Zhining stretched his neck back calmly, glanced at Si Peinan, and said with a smile: "It's unnatural for the two of you not to be together, the most absent-minded in the whole hall should belong to you two."

"What?" Captain Hoss frowned, unable to hear what he meant, but he understood in the next moment.

Zhou Zhining tugged at his sleeve, raised his chin to signal him to look to the left, Captain Huo Si looked over and met Si Peinan who was whispering to Si Bei, then he got up and smiled at Si Bei , bowed and went out along the wall.

Lieutenant Huo Si put the matchbox in his pocket, turned his gaze around the person who went out behind, and lowered his head to confess to Zhou Zhining: "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."

"Okay, you go." Zhou Zhining didn't expose him, and when he stood up, he beckoned to Xu Sihang who was sitting next door, and the two sat together, and he reckoned that Captain Huo Sihang would return today. Difficult.

I always feel that the atmosphere between Si Peinan and Captain Huo Si is not normal. Seeing Si Peinan go out and Captain Huo Si following him at this time, Si Bei always feels that something is wrong. Ze pulled hard.

"What are you doing?!" Si Bei lowered his voice, a little annoyed.

Mu Zeze leaned towards him in disgust: "What are you doing?"

"I'm fucking going out to see my brother!"

"Then you don't want your sister anymore? My cousins ​​are gone, so your sister is the only one on stage."

"I always feel that Lieutenant Huoss and my brother knew each other before."

"That's right, it's their acquaintance. That's their business. What are you meddling with? Your brother is 27 and will be 28 soon, not 17."

Si Bei finally calmed down, and stayed silent for a while, but glanced back occasionally.

"I saw the two of them standing together, as if drinking a cup of strong tea in their mouths, and the words were stuck in their throats, which was very uncomfortable." Si Bei frowned and said to Mu Zeze.

"Can Captain Huo Si still eat your brother?" Mu Zeze glanced at him calmly.

I didn't expect Si Bei to be serious after being silent for a while: "It's really hard to tell. In the past few years, there was no one in City A who didn't know about Captain Huo Si's 'notoriety'. Unable to see through, he clicked on Mu Zeze again: "I have dealt with that sister Huo Wen before, she is indeed a ruthless character, and it is inevitable that the same mother and compatriots are alike."

"You are a bit one-sided." Mu Zeze shook his head with a smile, but he couldn't say it like a mirror in his heart. Could it be that he told him with great fanfare that there are really prodigal sons who don't change their money, and they are still for your brother back?I'm afraid Si Bei will stun him to death, Mu Zeze shut his mouth wisely.

The garden is okay, not as exaggeratedly beautiful as the auditorium, it is a very simple and elegant landscape garden structure, and the mystery hidden inside can only be seen after careful inspection.The rocky rockery is committed to the southwest side, and the turbulent stream flows through the gaps of the rocks. The base is slightly wider, and there is running water inside, and a few goldfish are raised.

The other flowers in the garden are blooming well, but there is a cluster on the left and a cluster on the right, which is very irregular.

It was only after Si Peinan came out that he felt that his breathing became much easier. There was always a feeling of dizziness inside. It might also be because the weather was too hot, or it was more likely that Captain Huo Si was sitting beside him.

Thinking of this, he fell silent again, touched the prayer beads on his wrist, fiddled with them casually, and walked forward without a clue.The engagement ceremony was really tedious and boring, but looking at the place of engagement and the layout of the auditorium, it can be seen that Chen Siqi has good intentions for his cousin Huaiqing. Although he has malicious intentions towards him, Si Peinan accepts it, and it is enough for him to be nice to his cousin .

The starry sky in summer night is much more beautiful than in the other three seasons, at least every star can be seen clearly.Si Peinan propped his hands on a fence, and behind him was a garden full of bamboo forests, each root standing tall.

Si Peinan wanted to smoke for no reason, and felt that his idea was nonsensical.He obviously came out because there was an uncomfortable atmosphere in the auditorium, but now he wants to soak in another smell.

But he still honestly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which was handed to him by Si Bei just now. Si Bei knew that he smoked, but he never told his parents about it. This was a tacit understanding between the two. .

The packing box is wider than normal ones, and Si Peinan's hand, which is used to removing the seals of the files, is also very comfortable in unpacking the cigarette packs. The slender cigarette was in his mouth.

"Can you give me one?"

Si Peinan maintained a slightly bowed posture leaning against the railing, with his feet staggered casually, as lazy as he could be, even a little uninhibited.This coincided with Captain Huo Si's style, but after the sound, Si Peinan was very flustered, and subconsciously felt that he shouldn't show this appearance in front of him.

So in just five seconds, he raised his head and stood up straight, with a little surprise in his eyes not covered by bangs, with a cigarette in his mouth, he just confronted Captain Huo Si in a daze. See.

But Lieutenant Hoss was neatly dressed and had no expression on his face, but he was definitely not indifferent. His calm tone seemed as if they had only been separated for a few hours.

Si Peinan took out the pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him.

Lieutenant Huo Si accepted it kindly, then took out a cigarette from it, and put it in his mouth like Si Peinan.Then he handed back the cigarette case to Si Peinan, and his voice was still clear while smoking the cigarette, which was blown by the wind and brought to Si Peinan's ear.

He said: "hard Toyama spring residence, good smoke."

"Yes."

Up to now, we have reunited for four and a half hours and met twice.Si Peinan didn't know why Captain Huo Si came out now, and he didn't ask. Similarly, neither of them mentioned the past, and Captain Huo Si didn't ask him why Si Nan became Si Peinan.

But in all fairness, Captain Howth's calm made him feel very blocked, like the blockage of an old faucet that was in disrepair after being repaired by a master, and then deliberately tightened the screw at the top to prevent the water from leaking out.

"Borrow fire?" Captain Huo Si took out a matchbox from nowhere. Si Peinan was extremely familiar with the embossed crafts of the Victorian period.Knowing that this is Lieutenant Howth's matchbox, he still hasn't changed his habit after so many years.

Si Peinan suddenly realized that Lieutenant Huo Si invited him to light a cigarette together, and slowly clenched his hands behind him into fists. Looking at the man's serious and tired familiar eyes, Si Peinan still nodded and left the railing Walked towards Captain Howth.

One step, two steps.

It turned out that the distance between them was only two steps.

"Chi—" The match was scratched and ignited.

Lieutenant Huo Si covered the match with one hand, held the match in the other, and moved the cigarette in his mouth to the place where the sparks splashed. Si Peinan found that his habit of frowning when he lit the cigarette was still the same.

Seeing that he didn't move, Captain Huosi moved the flame towards him, so Si Peinan also lowered his head, the tail of the smoke was close to the burning flame core on the top of the match, he smelled the smell of burning wood, and smelled it again. There is a very light smell of herbal perfume, and finally a strong smell of smoke.

This is the smell Si Peinan feels now.

Such a close distance is actually very suitable for observing people, especially observing a person who has been away for a long time.But Lieutenant Huo Si still took the matter of lighting the cigarette very seriously. He watched the burning flames and the tail of the cigarette being scorched by the flames seriously. He also found that Si Peinan had really learned to smoke.

The light of the flame lingered on the faces of the two, and the faint heat source wandered between the two, reflecting an ambiguous warm light.

It's just that when Si Peinan approached, Captain Huo Si was still lighting a cigarette, and the two of them were caught off guard and lightly bumped into each other. It didn't hurt, but Si Peinan still said quickly and in a low voice: " sorry."

Captain Hoss took a puff of his cigarette and shook his head. The smoke he breathed engulfed him in a white mist, and he said, "It doesn't matter."
