The system forced me to be a scumbag [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 40 The Man Who Stayed in the Attic 13

Apart from holding his breath intermittently, Lu Yan was very quiet the rest of the time.

It was as quiet as if the soul flew to another time and space, and what existed in front of Shen Siyang was just a body.

This situation continued until late at night.

After the clock crossed zero, Lu Yan pulled Shen Siyang, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shen Siyang looked at the person who had finally fallen asleep in his arms, and didn't dare to move too much.

Forget when you lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he opened his eyes and was dazzled by the dazzling light for a moment.

He subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and one hand was one step ahead of him to block his face.

After being in a daze for a moment, Shen Siyang finally saw a person lying on the opposite side.

Lu Yan lay on his side about half an arm away from him.

He raised one hand to block the morning light pouring into the room for him, and was looking at him softly.

Memories before bed gradually come flooding back.

He immediately looked at Lu Yan nervously: "Are you all right?"

Lu Yan nodded lightly: "It's okay, I'm sorry, didn't I scare you yesterday?"

Shen Siyang stared at Lu Yan, his throat was dry: "Why...is that so?"

Lu Yan pursed his lips lightly, and after looking at Shen Siyang for a long time, he said softly, "Mom and Dad, died of charcoal poisoning."

Charcoal poisoning.

A thought flashed through Shen Siyang's mind, and he was about to ask, but when he saw Lu Yan's eyes still covered with mist, he swallowed the words back abruptly.

Lu Yan's reaction yesterday was so strong.

It means that it is very possible that he was there when his parents were poisoned by charcoal.

Any relevant questions in this case would undoubtedly force him to go back to that unbearable memory.

Neither of them spoke for a while, they watched each other quietly.

After a while, Lu Yan got up and said, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer, what do you want for breakfast?"

Shen Siyang followed suit and sat up: "I'll get it done, you lie down for a while, you didn't eat anything yesterday, right?"

Lu Yan was slightly stunned: "Do you know how to cook?"

Shen Siyang chuckled: "Of course, it's just not as delicious as yours."

He pressed Lu Yan back on the bed: "Let me show off today, what do you want to eat?"

Lu Yan's cheeks were slightly red: "I ate all of it."

Shen Si Yang Jingjing stared at Lu Yan for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll see what the refrigerator does."

Lu Yan saw that he often started fires at home, and stocked up a lot of things in the refrigerator.

Shen Siyang took out a few eggs to make egg porridge.

While waiting for the porridge, I took out my phone to find some nutritious recipes.

As soon as I turned on the screen, I saw several missed calls.

On weekdays, his mobile phone is basically set to silent.

In the company on weekdays, the mobile phone is at hand, so you will not miss the call.

He glanced at the missed call.

It was all from Xu Qingwen.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Siyang dialed the phone back.

It was quickly connected over there, and Xu Qingwen's slightly displeased voice sounded: "Where did you go yesterday?"

Shen Siyang explained calmly: "There is an emergency at home, and I am in a hurry to leave. I will make up my personal leave today."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "You don't have to go to work today, the old lady wants to see you, are you at the hotel now? I'll pick you up."

"No."

Shen Siyang took the phone and looked at the time, "Nine o'clock."

Xu Qingwen answered "OK" and hung up the phone.

End the call.

Shen Siyang looked up and saw Lu Yan standing at the door.

He was the first to speak out: "Xu Qingwen, said your grandma wants to see me."

Hearing this, Lu Yan frowned slightly: "Grandma?"

"Don't want me to go?" Shen Siyang gently turned the phone in his hand, "Then I'll call back now and tell Xu Qingwen that I'm missing."

Lu Yan stared at Shen Siyang for a moment, and finally shook his head: "If grandma said anything bad to you, remember to come back and tell me."

Shen Siyang smiled: "Okay. How did you get down?"

Lu Yan walked into the kitchen, glanced at the electric cooker that was cooking porridge, and then looked back at Shen Siyang who was wearing an apron under the morning light: "I want to watch you cook."

-

Shen Siyang returned to the hotel at 8:40.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, I just received a call from Xu Qingwen.

Xu Qingwen didn't come alone, he brought the driver.

After Shen Siyang got into the car, the two sat on both sides of the back row.

Xu Qingwen's attention has been on the tablet in front of him.

After the car started, he told Shen Siyang without raising his head: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the old lady. Whatever the old lady says, you should do what you want."

There was no response for a long time after the voice fell.

He frowned in displeasure, and finally looked up at Shen Siyang.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Siyang said, "How many years has Xu Tezhu worked for the Lu family?"

Xu Qingwen frowned so much that he could kill a fly: "This is not something you should care about."

Shen Siyang chuckled: "Then let me ask something I care about. Does Xu Tezhu know how Mr. Lu's parents died?"

Xu Qingwen looked at Shen Siyang with sharp eyes instantly.

Shen Siyang's expression remained unchanged: "If Special Assistant Xu doesn't know, I can only ask the old lady."

Xu Qingwen said displeasedly: "You don't seem to have a clear understanding of your identity, the old lady is your employer."

Shen Siyang's tone was relaxed: "It doesn't matter. During the three-month trial period, I only need to report and submit my resignation three days in advance to terminate this labor contract. If Xu Tezhu doesn't want me to ask the old lady, you can Put me down on the side of the road now."

Xu Qingwen put away the tablet in his hand, focused on looking at Shen Siyang with anger on his face: "Don't use your ingenuity on these crooked ways."

Shen Siyang did not speak, and looked at Xu Qingwen silently.

After a few minutes of invisible swords and swords, Xu Qingwen said coldly: "Charcoal poisoning."

Shen Siyang did not accept this answer: "I want to know the specific reason, because of charcoal poisoning, whether Mr. Lu was there when they died, and what caused their death."

Xu Qingwen stared at Shen Siyang, his complexion gradually turned bad.

After a while, he lowered the window by a crack, breathed in the fresh air pouring in from the window, and said coldly: "It's not something I can know."

Shen Siyang said in a natural tone, "Oh, then I'll ask the old lady."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Xu Qingwen, as if he had accepted the answer and made a decision.

"Since you have the ability to stay with Mr. Lu for more than a month, why don't you ask him personally if you care so much about his affairs?"

Shen Siyang snorted coldly: "Then why don't you let me ask the old lady?"

He looked at Xu Qingwen again, and the warmth in his eyes was completely gone: "The old lady will hurt if the needle sticks into Mrs. Lu, but Mr. Lu won't hurt if it's stuck into Mr. Lu?"

Xu Qingwen looked at Shen Siyang's condensed face, and after a long silence, he finally said, "Burning charcoal to commit suicide."

Even though he had guessed it, Shen Siyang's heart beat uncontrollably the moment he heard the answer.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he had enough strength to ask the next sentence: "They brought Lu Yan together to burn charcoal and commit suicide?"

Xu Qingwen was so astonished that he didn't notice the change in Shen Siyang's address at all: "How do you know?"

Shen Siyang only felt that the surrounding air was sucked out for a moment.

Every moment of Lu Yan's pain yesterday kept reappearing in his mind, his heart ached so badly that he wished he could get out of the car to find Lu Yan right now.

Barely keeping his mind awake, he spoke again: "Lu Yan said he killed his parents."

The astonishment on Xu Qingwen's face was even worse, so that he couldn't think about why Lu Yan said these things to Shen Siyang.

He looked at Shen Siyang with a blank mind for a long time, and a little powerless personal emotion rarely appeared on his face.

He took off his glasses, closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed, "Why would Mr. Lu say that?"

Shen Siyang asked again: "So what happened at the beginning?"

Xu Qingwen's line of defense was significantly lowered.

He raised his hands and rubbed his face, put on his glasses again, and finally said: "It is true that Mr. Lu's parents took Mr. Lu to burn charcoal to commit suicide. They took sleeping pills, but Mr. Lu didn't take it, so Mr. Lu woke up halfway. Wake up Later, Mr. Lu found that the windows and doors of the room were sealed, and only the passage leading to the attic could be opened. Mr. Lu climbed up to the attic and opened the window of the attic. Unfortunately, he failed to get out and passed out on the window. By the time someone found out, Mr. Lu's parents had already passed away, and Mr. Lu became the only survivor of the accident because he didn't eat much."

"How old was he then?"

Xu Qingwen sighed softly: "Seven years old."

Shen Siyang lowered the car window, letting the hot wind blow on his face.

"The reason?"

Xu Qingwen supported his forehead, but did not respond this time.

Seeing this, Shen Siyang continued: "It has something to do with the Lu family. The old lady hates illegitimate children, and it is absolutely impossible for an illegitimate child to inherit the Lu family, but Lu Yan's father is a painter, and he has no intention of going into business."

Xu Qingwen looked at Shen Siyang again, his eyes gradually became complicated.

After a brief silence, he finally said, "It would be fine if it was just like this. Since you have been with Mr. Lu for more than a month, you should be able to see that Mr. Lu is very talented in business. If there was no accident at the beginning, Mr. Lu's father only needs to endure for a few more years, and when Mr. Lu grows up, everyone will be happy."

"Accident?"

Xu Qingwen nodded slowly, his usual elite image was gone, and he seemed to be several years old all of a sudden.

"President Lu's father did not intend to go into business, so he took his wife and left after being asked to inherit the Lu family. The old lady's people found them, but on the way to bring them back, there was a car accident. President Lu's mother was in She lost her legs in this car accident. She is a very good dancer who is about to realize her dream on the international stage. The loss of her legs has dealt a very serious blow to her. Mr. Lu's father is also feeling guilty and inheriting the family business Amidst the pain, psychological problems gradually developed."

Xu Qingwen took off his glasses and rubbed them lightly: "They left very suddenly. No one knows why they brought Mr. Lu with them. If they were afraid that Mr. Lu would repeat their mistakes, why didn't Mr. Lu give him sleeping pills? A back road has been left. Whether this back road is left to Mr. Lu by them or to themselves is no longer known."

"So?" Shen Siyang's voice was filled with obvious anger, "You can't figure it out, so you frequently raise your guesses in front of a child?"

Xu Qingwen was taken aback, but didn't immediately understand Shen Siyang's meaning: "What?"

"Because he is a survivor, because he has reached the window, will you ask him, "Why can't you hold on a little longer? As long as you hold on until you call someone outside, your parents won't leave It is even possible to ask, "Your parents didn't give you sleeping pills just to let you save them. Why did you go to the window and you could save yourself but not them?" "

Xu Qingwen was speechless, and it took a long time before he said in a deep voice: "The Lu family has a lot of talk, and this is unavoidable."

"Unavoidable?"

Shen Siyang sneered: "Can you manage such a large company well, but can't manage the gossip of dozens of people in your family? No one has paid attention to his psychological problems, right? No one will think that he is just a seven-year-old who can't even tell right from wrong." A [-]-year-old child, all his sources of information are limited to the words of the people around him. How can a child figure out the truth that adults may not be able to figure out? You just let him change from a victim of an accident to a fundamental innocent perpetrator."

There was complete silence in the carriage.

It has been a long time without hearing anyone's words, only the sound of the wind constantly pouring in.

-

The car drove into a manor and stopped in front of the main building of the manor.

Xu Qingwen took Shen Siyang straight to the garden behind the main building.

Sitting at the round table in the back garden was a woman with gray temples.

The traces of time cannot conceal the outstanding appearance and temperament of a woman.

She was sitting at the round table with a cup of steaming tea in her hand.

The posture is elegant and the movements are calm.

It is not difficult for those who see him to get a glimpse of his youthful splendor.

Xu Qingwen walked up to the woman respectfully: "Ma'am, Shen Siyang is here."

The woman put down her teacup without haste, turned to look at Shen Siyang.

After looking at the person carefully, she said in a normal tone: "I heard from Qingwen that you stayed with Xiaoyan for a while, and I wanted to see you. I'm curious about what kind of child can fall into Xiaoyan's eyes , looking at him now, he is a smart kid with a good temper."

"There's only one thing I'm looking for you this time, and it's not difficult."

The woman greeted Shen Siyang to sit down: "Since you can stay with Xiaoyan for so long, it means that you must have some special qualities that Xiaoyan likes, and I hope you can list these special qualities to the Qingwen, so that he can gradually replace you after studying and take your current position."

Shen Siyang frowned lightly.

The woman smiled kindly: "Don't worry, after Qingwen succeeds, I will give you a considerable amount of compensation. Your position should have belonged to Qingwen. With Qingwen here, Xiaoyan's career will definitely develop smoothly. It's smoother."

Shen Siyang shook his head.

The woman looked at him with a look in her eyes: "The reason."

Shen Siyang said calmly: "No one can imitate me, and I will not do the thing of screening people around him for Lu Yan."

The woman showed a smile: "It's an interesting child. But you have to know that if you reject me now, it is equivalent to losing the job and you won't get any compensation."

Shen Siyang nodded: "That's exactly what I mean."

The woman looked at Shen Siyang silently for a moment: "I allow you to make a condition."

Shen Siyang shook his head again, and then asked an irrelevant question: "Madam, do you love Luyan?"

Before the woman could respond, Xu Qingwen, who was standing aside, was the first to warn: "Shen Siyang."

The woman raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Qingwen, then her eyes fell back on Shen Siyang: "Why do you ask this question suddenly?"

Shen Siyang said seriously: "Because I think Lu Yan loves you very much."

This answer made the woman stunned for a moment, and she finally looked at Shen Siyang seriously: "What makes you feel that Xiaoyan loves me so much?"

"After Lu Yan's parents passed away, did he never visit his parents' grave?"

Xu Qingwen's warning sounded again: "Shen Siyang, you..."

The woman raised her hand to stop Xu Qingwen's next words: "Let him speak."

There was a crack in the calmness on her face, but she still responded to Shen Siyang with the same tone: "Yes, what do you want to say?"

"Why do you think he didn't go to his parents' grave?"

The woman fell into a brief silence.

Xu Qingwen said at this moment: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, I neglected my duty and told him about Mr. Lu's parents."

The woman shook her head: "I know you well, and I can make you speak, which means that this child has some information in advance and knows how to use it. It's not surprising that he can stay by Xiaoyan's side for so long."

She looked at Shen Siyang again: "You already know the reason, so you don't need to ask me again."

Shen Siyang asked the woman again: "Do you think he almost took his life because he resented his parents?"

The woman didn't make a sound, which was her default.

Shen Siyang shook his head: "No. He never resented his parents, and there is even a family portrait his father drew in his house. He didn't look at it because he felt that he killed his parents. He couldn't. He who climbed out of the window in the attic to ask for help, together with Lu's heavy family business, killed his parents."

Shen Siyang's words fell like a landmine.

A moment of trance appeared on the woman's face. She seemed to be pulled back to a certain memory, and her face became old in an instant.

"He has never walked out of the day when his parents died. Every year on that day, he will go back to the year and re-experience the suffocation, despair, and pain at that time. He will hold his breath again and again until it is unbearable. Allow yourself to breathe in the fresh air. If in the future, when he goes through this pain, his will to survive happens to be weak, he may really stay in the past forever, unable to move forward.”

A gust of wind hung in the backyard, blowing the leaves down.

The woman who always maintains her manners in front of people has not seen red eyes in front of people for a long time.

Shen Siyang stared at the woman for a long time, and continued: "Have you ever thought about why he has such an outstanding business talent, but he has not made any achievements after taking over the Lu family?"

The woman looked at him.

The answer is already in the eyes of the woman, but Shen Siyang still confessed it bluntly: "Because in his eyes, the Lu family is the same as him, and the blood of his parents is flowing under this huge enterprise. Every step he takes up is a waste of time. He died with the blood of his parents. But even though he couldn’t bear it, he still sat in this position with his eyes closed, and was even willing to let you put someone beside him in a form of almost surveillance, why do you think?”

The wind rustled the fallen leaves.

Shen Siyang asked the original question again: "Madam, do you love Luyan?"

-

The alarm bell rang at 7:20, and Shen Siyang touched it to turn it off.

It is a habit to call Lu Yan.

Just clicking into the address book, I suddenly remembered that he no longer needs to do the morning report.

After finishing what he wanted to say to the old lady yesterday, he resigned from his job as an assistant.

Pressing off the screen, he turned over and sat up on the bed.

After washing and changing into a set of normal clothes, he walked to Lu Yan's house.

When he went downstairs to Lu Yan's house, he looked up to the second floor.

The window of Lu Yan's room was half open, and the white gauze in the window was blown by the wind.

Shen Siyang withdrew his gaze and was about to open the door, but the door opened first.

Looking at the people inside the door, he chuckled lightly: "Did you see me again?"

Lu Yan nodded, turned sideways to let Shen Siyang enter the room: "You didn't call me this morning."

Shen Siyang walked into the room and rolled his eyes with a smile: "Why don't you call me?"

Lu Yan responded warmly: "I'm afraid you will wake up if you are still sleeping. Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

Shen Siyang shook his head.

Hearing this, Lu Yan went to the kitchen: "I cooked porridge."

Not long after, he brought out porridge from the kitchen and put it on the dining table, then sat down beside Shen Siyang.

Shen Siyang took two mouthfuls of porridge and felt that Lu Yan's eyes were fixed on him.

He stopped and turned to look at Lu Yan: "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Lu Yan looked softly: "Grandma talked to me yesterday, thank you."

Shen Siyang chuckled: "What are your plans in the future?"

Lu Yan looked over Shen Siyang and landed on the peach tree behind Shen Siyang.

The peach tree in the backyard was missing some fruit, which he and Shen Siyang shared some time ago.

But since he clarified the relationship in the car that day, he has never been able to send Tao Zi to Shen Siyang.

He withdrew his gaze: "Grandma will come to the company today, and I will make plans after I have dealt with all the matters at hand."

After saying that, he lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said again: "Shen Siyang, why did you do this for me?"

Under the morning light, the thick long eyelashes fluttered gently, and the beautiful lips were lightly pursed into a straight line.

"Mom and Dad left shortly after my grandfather passed away. My grandma has been too busy to take care of herself these years. I am used to no one paying attention to my feelings. But Xu Qingwen said that when you communicated with them yesterday, you always stood on my side. He Say you care about me. Shen Siyang, you..."

Some words are denied once, and it becomes extremely difficult to say them a second time.

Lu Yan's lips gradually turned white under the light bite, and he still couldn't ask the next few words.

Until Shen Siyang took the initiative to say: "Well, I like you."

Lu Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Siyang, his beautiful eyes gradually opened.

Shen Siyang looked at Shang Luyan and said again: "But if I said that my love has a time limit, would you still want it?"

Lu Yan froze: "What do you mean?"

The end of his eyes slowly lowered: "Will you still like others in the future?"

Shen Siyang shook his head: "I don't like others, but I can't stay with you for a long time. I may only be by your side for a year, or a month, or even just one day."

Lu Yan blinked lightly: "Why?"

Shen Siyang took a deep breath: "I can't give you a specific reason, just like I said that I must be your assistant for a full month. Even I don't know how and when I will leave You, it may be because of illness, it may be because of an accident, or it may be..."

He closed his eyes: "Like what you are most afraid of, we were still talking one second, and the next second I disappeared quietly behind you."

The moment Shen Siyang finished speaking, Lu Yan felt as if the whole person was thrown into the deep sea in an instant.

The icy water squeezed him into a ball.

It was obviously just hypothetical words, but he seemed to have experienced the pain and despair himself.

With a pale face, he leaned over and hugged Shen Siyang.

The body of the person in his arms was warm.

He clearly hugged a real person, but it seemed like he didn't hug anything.

Lu Yan buried his head in Shen Siyang's neck.

Shen Siyang's words sounded unreasonable and unbelievable, but suddenly he didn't want to go into the reason because it was not important.

After recovering his voice after a long time, he said without hesitation, "Yes."

"Why?" Shen Siyang asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time, "Why do you still love me now, knowing that you will suffer in the future?"

Lu Yan's eyelashes lightly brushed over Shen Siyang's neck.

"It will not be painful. It will be sad and miss, but it will not be painful. Meeting you is itself impossible to have a second luck in a lifetime."

The author says:

The more I write, the more I feel that Yang Yang is more suitable for Ku Ge's appearance, but it's a pity that I dated him with a cute face back then, 15551
