Looking at the bright moon

Sheng Jingyuan acted very straightforwardly, saying that he was going to leave tonight, and as soon as the evening passed, he got a boat ticket, ordered someone to carry a few boxes, and escorted Sheng Huan to the West Wharf.It was time to board the ship, and there was a lot of people on the pier, and there were cries—the most of them were cries.There are also those who say goodbye with a smile, mostly like students who are about to go on a long journey.Everyone's sorrows and joys of separation and love have become a lively and fresh world, and the joys and sorrows do not belong to this world.

He changed into a long shirt and a black fedora, dressed like an adult.Standing beside him, Sheng Jingyuan was in a good mood. When he received Sheng Huan's gaze, he immediately lowered his head and smiled, and put his hands on his shoulders: "Afraid?"

Sheng Huan broke free and remained silent.A few days ago, he was still studying and practicing calligraphy in Longyuan, waiting for Wen Mingyu to come back.Today, however, it has changed, and in a city that has never been visited before, on a strange pier, it has become a cloud without an owner, or a kite whose fuse has been cut.Sheng Huan has never been far away from Yancheng. He knows that Huqing is far away, but it is only vaguely far away.He is still ignorant, and the word "liqing" is still too unfamiliar to him.

Beside him was a young couple who were about to separate. The man was carrying a rattan box and holding his wife's hand, and the two chattered constantly.About to board the ship, the crowd surged and slowly flowed forward.The husband had to let go of his wife, turning sideways and waving to her as he walked.As soon as the two of them separated, the young woman suddenly ran over, threw herself into her husband's arms, and cried, "Don't forget me, I will wait for you until you come back!"

Her voice was shrill, like a lost bird.It was making a sharp whine.Sheng Huan turned to stare at her and suddenly woke up.

This time, with an unknown return date, Sheng Huan fell into unprecedented confusion and fear.What kind of person will he become in the future, can he come back here again, will Wen Mingyu wait for him?Sheng Huan finally realized that this trip was not a day or a month, but two or three years, or even longer.

For no reason, Sheng Huan remembered the moonlit night in Long Garden, and the desolate bamboo forest and snow in Beiyuan.The man pinched his chin and advised him to smile more.In the quiet and empty Zoumalou in Dongyuan, in the study under the shade of trees, Wen Mingyu once taught him how to write.At that time, Sheng Huan was so nervous that his brush would tremble.Wen Mingyu was right behind him, holding his hand, and asked him to calm down like a strict teacher when he picked up the pen. Halfway through writing, he was first amused by Sheng Huan's distorted handwriting.

Now these pictures seem to have turned into pages of a book, quickly turned forward with an irreversible momentum, finally sealed, and can no longer be opened, a strange and strong loneliness surges from the bottom of my heart, joy and regret He was also afraid that he should tell Wen Mingyu something else—at least to see him again.

It wasn't until this time that Sheng Huan realized that he had so much nostalgia for Yannan. He clenched his sleeves tightly and stopped in place, as if it would be good to stay on this land for a minute or a second.Jing Yuan stopped, showing consideration for this young man who was away from home for the first time.When the boarding team gradually came to the end, he said, "Do you regret it?"

He added: "I still think it's better to hide behind my father and be a well-protected young master?"

Sheng Huan didn't respond, he stood motionless for a long time, finally took a deep breath, and walked forward slowly.

He will come back, Sheng Huan warned himself.Whether it's by boat or by car, even if it's climbing, you have to climb back to Yannan, come here to meet someone, and if you don't see that person, he won't give up until he dies.

Jing Yuan originally thought that after Sheng Huan was escorted, there would always be trouble for a while, after all, he came unwillingly, and he might not be safe by his side.Unexpectedly, this time Sheng Huan didn't run or make trouble, and was surprisingly obedient, which surprised Jing Yuan a little.

This was their second day at sea, and it was already noon, Jingyuan read a few pages in the cabin, and wanted to see what Shenghuan was doing.He walked out of the cabin, asked a few attendants, and the attendant said: "Mr. Jingyuan, Young Master Xiao Sheng does nothing from morning to night. He just likes to sit outside and watch the sea without saying a few words." , that's really weird."

Another person interjected: "Children's family, who has never been on a boat, is greedy for new things."

Jing Yuan smiled, and when he came to the deck, he saw a young man sitting on the edge of the rail, with two bodyguards standing behind him.He walked over slowly, followed Shenghuan to look at the sea without saying a word.Today's sunshine is very good. Looking down from the boat, apart from the clear sky, there is an endless sea, and even the waves are completely sun-drenched.Jing Yuan sat down beside Sheng Huan and asked, "Is the sea so beautiful?"

Sheng Huan rested her chin on her knees, dark blue waves floating in her dark eyes.He didn't answer, and didn't chase him away.

Jing Yuan said: "The first time I took a boat was said to be when I was one year old. My mother left home after giving birth to me. The first news she sent back on her own initiative was that she was going to divorce her husband. "

This time Sheng Huan finally had a reaction, he turned his head and looked at Jing Yuan with a little surprise.

Jingyuan bent one leg, propped his hands behind his back, blowing a gust of wind comfortably, and then continued: "My father is very timid, and he always feels that he can't climb up to his wife. So my mother just asked him for me, and he So she gave me to her. I was brought to Yancheng by my mother and changed my surname to Sheng, and not long after, I had a half-sister."

Sheng Huan understood a little bit, and asked in puzzlement, "Why did you tell me this?"

Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes and answered him: "Just chatting, don't you always have a lot of questions you want to ask me? Then let me tell you my story."

Sheng Huan turned his eyes to the sea again, and after a long time, he said, "Is this true?"

"If you are willing to take the story seriously, then it is true."

Jing Yuan turned his head and smiled at Sheng Huan: "When I heard about you, it was like seeing myself when I was a child. I was abandoned by my father and didn't have any feelings for my mother. I have always regretted it. Why didn't I go first I found you before you met Wen Mingyu."

After Sheng Huan listened quietly, he suddenly said: "So Sheng Yun was in trouble at the time, it's not that you didn't find her in time, you didn't want to come to her at all."

His tone was light, without any hint of accusation.But it doesn't matter, Jingyuan won't care.He tilted his head and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to. I'm a businessman, and there are many things waiting for me to do every day, and Yun Yi is not the most important one."

Sheng Yunyi is obviously his half-sister, but Sheng Jingyuan said it was like a big trouble, which shows that this sister doesn't have much weight in his heart.However, Sheng Huan was no longer surprised by what Sheng Jingyuan did after the two met.He questioned what the other party said earlier: "Since your mother doesn't like you, why did she take you away after remarrying?"

"Will a person who has seen gold and silver mountains be willing to watch and wait for them from afar?" Jing Yuan's tone revealed a hint of sarcasm: "Of course she wants to get them and be their master. To achieve this The goal cannot be achieved by her alone."

Although the other party said this passage very easily, Sheng Huan could guess.The blood of an outsider, who grew up in a prosperous family with many brothers, will not be too happy.Sheng Huan pondered, gave up the idea of ​​asking about Jing Yuan's past, and instead asked, "Who is your master?"

Jingyuan didn't expect that he would mention this directly, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "When you arrive in Huqing, you will naturally see him."

Sheng Huan asked coldly, "Is it his order that you want to take me away?"

There was undisguised hostility in his tone. Hearing this, Jing Yuan shook his head a few times: "It's none of his business." He raised an arm, put it on Sheng Huan's shoulder, and lifted the thin figure The young man moved closer to himself: "I want you to stay by my side. You are the only relative I have left in this world, and we are so similar. I am too lonely to live alone, and I can't bear it." I want you to come and accompany me."

Sheng Huan stared at him sideways, their faces were very close, and he saw his own reflection in Jing Yuan's pupils.The face in front of him is indeed very similar to the face in the other person's eyes. In terms of appearance, this person is more like his father than Wen Mingyu.According to Sheng Jingyuan's disposition, what the other party said just now should be another lie.But the two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Sheng Huan's heart seemed to be touched by a strange thing, and it tightened very slightly, making him speechless for a while.

Dugu in Sheng Jingyuan's eyes is too real, Sheng Huan can see it, because he has experienced the same feeling before.

He stepped back a few inches, looked at Jing Yuan for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "You never had friends?"

This question was asked like a sarcasm, Jing Yuan was still smiling, but his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of cold frost.He was silent for a long time before replying, "There used to be one."

Jing Yuan seemed unwilling to continue the conversation, he sat silently beside Sheng Huan for a while, and then went back to the cabin alone.Sheng Huan still didn't move, he lowered his eyes, looking at the swaying sea water below.It's midsummer now, the sea water shouldn't be too cold, but it looks so deep, as if the water is a bottomless abyss.

When people are on the water, they lose the sense of security they feel when they are on land.When Sheng Huan looked into the distance, apart from the sky and clouds, there was only the endless sea.The longer he watched, the harder Shenghuan's heart beat, and he hurriedly turned his thoughts to other places.

Neither Sheng Jingyuan nor his "master" will be Wen Mingyu's friend.Naturally, Sheng Huan would not take Jing Yuan's words of companionship seriously. Jing Yuan knew the current relationship between him and Wen Mingyu, so by detaining himself by his side, there was no doubt that this person had an excellent way to restrain Wen Mingyu.If necessary, Sheng Huan believed that his uncle would push him out without hesitation to force Wen Mingyu.

After all, a living hostage is always more useful than a corpse.

Sheng Huan pressed his fingers one by one, recalling Sheng Jingyuan's lecture to him.

What the other party said was right, he really needs to have his own skills in order to gain a foothold beside Wen Mingyu.However, there is one point that Sheng Huan disagrees with: if he wants to become someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Wen Mingyu, why does he have to rely on Jing Yuan's strength?

He took a slow and deep breath, leaned on the iron railing, and his eyes fell on the foaming sea tide.

What he wants to do, who he wants, no one can interfere except himself.

That night, not long after Jing Yuan fell asleep, he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"Mr. Jingyuan, Mr. Jingyuan!" His subordinates shouted eagerly from outside: "Master Xiao Sheng has an accident!"

Pale moonlight shone in from the porthole, Jing Yuan slowly opened his eyes, without answering, just lying quietly for a long time.This incident was both unexpected and expected, he finally got up, put on a coat, and let the two subordinates guarding Shenghuan in.As soon as the two entered the room, they knelt on the ground and heard Jing Yuan's voice: "He ran away?"

The two people almost put their faces on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes... yes. Young Master Xiao Sheng didn't fall asleep very late, and said he wanted to go out to relax. We followed him all the time, who knows, who knows that he suddenly We moved our hands. We were unprepared for a moment and let him run away. Now we have asked everyone to search the ship and promise to find him!"

They are sure that Sheng Huan is still on board, no matter where they hide, they will always be caught by their own people.Jing Yuan put his hands behind his back, walked slowly a few steps, and suddenly asked: "Did he ask you anything in the past two days?"

One of them touched his head a few times and replied: "Master Xiao Sheng hardly speaks." After saying this, his body shook, and he raised his voice suddenly: "No! He said that Master Xiao Sheng always asked us about the 'ship' Where'd it be'!"

He seemed to have realized something, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his head and looked at Jing Yuan: "Jing, Mr. Jing Yuan, we are at sea now, Young Master Xiao Sheng won't...he won't..."

A big wave rolled in, the hull of the boat shook slightly, the big man couldn't kneel stably, and immediately fell down.
