Begonia without fragrance

Xie Juntang secretly stood by the window, and hid when he saw Yu Xi coming home to prevent him from finding him. Before Yu Xi entered the house, Xie Juntang had already sat down, and he concealed himself not to care too much about Yu Xi.

Yu Xi pushed open the door and bumped into Xie Juntang. Before Yu Xi could speak, Xie Juntang got up and spoke first. He looked at Yu Xi guiltily and said, "I shouldn't have left you alone just now, I just I don't know how to face you."

When Yu Xi walked into the room, he stood beside Xie Juntang, glanced at him, and said with a smile, "I'm the one who disturbed you, and I'm the one who should apologize."

Xie Juntang felt even more guilty about Yu Xi's polite attitude. He walked past Yu Xi and said in a hurry, "You must be hungry. I'll let them cook."

Yu Xi called Xie Juntang and said, "I'll go back to Guangzhou tomorrow."

"If you want to go back, I will accompany you." Xie Juntang said.

"No, it's hard for you to come to Shaoguan once, and spend more time with your family. I still have something to do. You don't have to feel guilty. Everything you come here is just self-deception." Yu Xi said with a light smile: "Don't worry, don't worry." , I won't be sad."

Xie Juntang nodded, but felt that laughing was uglier than crying.

The hot weather was unbearable, and the starry sky on a summer night was picturesque. Yu Xi opened the window and stood by the window. The lights in Xie Juntang's room opposite were also on. Suddenly the window opened, and Xie Juntang and Yu Xi looked at each other.

Xie Juntang didn't expect that Yu Xi wasn't asleep either, so he asked, "Why don't you sleep when you have to take the car tomorrow?"

Yu Xi shook her head and said with a smile, "Can't sleep, how about you? Why don't you sleep?"

"I can't sleep either." Xie Juntang said with a helpless smile: "Be careful when you return to Guangzhou, the situation is not good now, you have to take good care of yourself."

"Well. You too. Although you don't like to hear it, you have to be careful not to treat him wholeheartedly." Yu Xi turned and went into the room after speaking.

Facing the empty window, Xie Juntang slowly turned around and covered his mouth. Sometimes personal choices are no longer important. They are all just mud and sand drifting with the tide, but there are always people with deep love and close relationships. The man, the destiny makes people irresistible.

====================

Yu Xi left very early and quietly, even the servants at home didn't know when the guest left. Xie's father didn't ask much, but Xie's mother said that Xie Juntang didn't know how to treat guests, how could he leave him alone Going back, in fact, Xie Juntang thinks this is better. If you don’t meet, you won’t have the pain of parting. People’s life is to get together and part. In the end, it’s the same. of.

Xie Juntang played around in Shaoguan for a few days. He often came to Shaoguan when he was young. The three brothers could play outside all day when they went out. He ran, and if there was something delicious, Qingtang would pay him to grab it, and Yuntang would occasionally make trouble, but most of the time he just watched.

Is it because the older a person is, the more he will miss the past days, as if everything was good at that time, even the kaleidoscope that fooled children has become a priceless treasure, and the friends, brothers, and lovers he grew up with are all Will not stay with him, and his will eventually leave them.

Xie Juntang didn't say a few words of reluctance when he left Shaoguan, but he knew very well in his heart that he would never come back after leaving Shaoguan.

Autumn 1942 Hankou

After Xie Juntang disembarked from the Hankou Wharf, after a simple customs inspection, he followed the servants who had already arrived in Hankou to take care of things to the Russian Concession next to the wharf. The car drove past Lierbin Street and stopped in front of a western-style house. Most of the foreigners walking around were wearing military uniforms. Yu Shiqiu asked his servants to move their luggage into the house. Xie Juntang followed him into the house and asked, "This is the Russian Concession. Where does Mr. Fujiwara live?"

"He's in the Japanese Concession, not far from us." Yu Shiqiu said with a smile: "The climate here may take you a while to get used to, but this house is not bad, and it should be able to avoid the cold."

Seeing him laughing at himself, Xie Juntang quickly helped his servants put the luggage in the living room. He walked around in a circle. Most of the surroundings here were Western-style buildings. Xie Juntang opened the shutters.Seeing the activities of the neighbors through those gaps, when Zhao Quan entered the house with Mr. Cat in his arms, Yu Shiqiu asked Zhao Quan to put the cat down, and as soon as Zhao Quan let go of the cat, the cat ran away without a trace.

Xie Juntang saw it running up, and asked: "It seems that it doesn't recognize its life, Xiao Zhao, help Uncle Ye clean up the living room."

Zhao Quan nodded in response, and ran out to help get things. Yu Shiqiu walked to Xie Juntang and looked at the next door. He said, "Some of the Russians here are nobles, try to avoid dealing with them."

"Why don't you live in the Japanese Concession, it's much safer there than here." Xie Juntang was puzzled.

"It's not safe anywhere. The United States has sent planes to bomb the Japanese Concession since the summer. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night." Yu Shiqiu put down the blinds, patted Xie Juntang on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go upstairs and have a look. The room should be almost cleaned up, and you will rest later."

"What about you?" Xie Juntang asked: "You haven't had a good rest all the way, so why don't you sleep together?"

"No, I'm going to see Mr. Fujiwara. I'll see you in the evening. Let Uncle Ye prepare whatever you want to eat. If you go out, bring Zhao Quan with you. He's very skilled." Yu Shiqiu kissed Xie Juntang's mouth and smiled. Said: "You have to get used to this place early."

Xie Juntang smiled and said, "Okay, I will try my best."

Xie Juntang was lying on the bed, Yu Shiqiu sat on the side for a while before leaving, Xie Juntang got up from the bed after he left, they had just moved here, Uncle Ye was still packing things downstairs, and those things in Yu Shiqiu's study were still piled up in the room , Xie Juntang quickly found several booklets similar to account books, but when he opened them, Xie Juntang couldn't understand them. The pile of letters was placed at the bottom, and there was a photo of Xie Juntang tucked in his clothes. At this moment, there were footsteps downstairs, and Xie Juntang hurriedly closed Yu Shiqiu's suitcase and lay down on the bed.

Someone knocked on the door, and Xie Juntang pretended to fall asleep silently, and the footsteps left after a while.Xie Juntang got out of bed slowly, and suddenly the door was opened, Uncle Ye walked into the room, he bent over and looked at Xie Juntang, Xie Juntang looked at him calmly, although Uncle Ye helped Yu Xi to switch him over, for some reason, Xie Juntang always felt that This Uncle Ye was very strange, so he couldn't trust him, so Xie Juntang asked, "Uncle Ye, where is the toilet?"

"Go out and turn right." Uncle Ye said in a hoarse voice.

Xie Juntang got up, Uncle Ye's eyes were on him all the time, Xie Juntang smiled at him and opened the door to go to the toilet.

When Xie Juntang came back, Yu Shiqiu's suitcase was no longer in the room, so Xie Juntang had no choice but to lie back on the bed and sleep.He just woke up after a light sleep for two hours. The afternoon sun was not bad. When Xie Juntang went downstairs, the downstairs was tidy. ,wake up."

"Well, have you eaten yet?" Xie Juntang asked.

"No, wait for the second young master to eat together." Zhao Quan said with a smile.

"Oh, then let them prepare. By the way, is Shi Qiu back?" Xie Juntang asked concerned.

"Not yet, Mr. Yu said before he left that you don't have to wait for him to eat." Zhao Quan replied, and Xie Juntang smiled: "Oh, that's fine. Let you come here from Guangzhou, are you used to it?"

"I haven't been out of Guangzhou yet, and Hankou is pretty good, but the kitten seems to be not used to it, and it's become a fussy one." Zhao Quan said distressedly.

Xie Juntang nodded and said with a smile: "The so-called cat is unruly, just play if you like, as long as you don't get lost and don't know how to go home."

Zhao Quan smiled and said, "That's not true, the kitten will follow me."

Xie Juntang patted Zhao Quan on the shoulder, then went to the dining table and picked up the newspaper bought on the boat to read.

After dinner, whether it was early or late, Xie Juntang was teasing the cat, and he felt a little bored walking up and down the house. After all, this is a strange place. He didn’t even know where to go on the street when he went out. Xie Juntang couldn’t help feeling bored A little flustered, he thought this was his first day in Hankou, and he had a bad start.
