[No.8 Pawn Shop] On the Raidability of Gao Leng

"Boss, I took a look. It seems that there are no customers who have made an appointment these days, or—"

"Shall we go out and play?"

Yan Shen was wearing a black long coat with a stand-up collar, holding a volume of books in his hands, sitting still with the presence of the old god, as stable as Mount Tai.Hearing this, raising his head slightly, a strong breath of abstinence rushed towards his face, causing some people with ulterior motives to secretly rub their hands and get ready to move.

But he still refused indifferently. "No."

Xia Jing obliquely suppressed his eager heart and looked at his pretty face.Bright and sad secretly sighed, a burst of sighs, alas - it's a pity to spread his wood, this face is a pity.His eyes turned a few degrees faintly, and soon, he smiled again.However, no matter how he reacts, I am happy.

There was a hard smile on his mouth, and he secretly thought: Besides, it is enough for me to appreciate it alone.

"I heard that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Yan Shen's hand holding the book paused and was stunned.His eyes are half-closed, the pupils are as black as jade, the waves of light flow, and the eyelashes cast a faint silhouette. While trembling, Xia Jingxie also felt that his heart was slightly scratched by a feather.Yan Shen lashed his eyelashes, and Fang slowly came back to his senses.

"yes."

An unknown street corner, brightly lit.Because they all hid their bodies and held their breath, no one panicked because of their sudden appearance.Moreover, because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the flow of people is very large and noisy, so no one will notice them showing their bodies.

"It's so lively."

Xia Jing squinted his eyes and looked around. It was already time to finish dinner. Many adults took their children to the streets, laughing and making noise, and there were also many reserved couples with sweet smiles on their lips Smiling, occasionally holding each other's hand like a "coincidence", and then slowly showing a shy and happy smile...

The street was crowded with people, and the sky was dotted with a big round moon, unlike the moon in the building.Everything under the moon looks a bit dark and gray. When the lights come on, big red lanterns are hung on the dark trees. The simple and simple paper lanterns are hung high, and the red light shines on people's happy faces.

Xia Jingxie didn't have any emotion or sadness about the happiness and harmony of other people's family, but was a little moved by the lively atmosphere around him.It stands to reason that in her previous life, she had no father or mother since she was a child, and in her next life she should have been lacking in love. She also had a queen who loved her very much, she could be considered a adoptive mother, but she didn't.She was originally single, no matter in her previous life or in her previous life, she was a person with a cold temperament, and when dealing with feelings, she could only use and be used.

But - she glanced at Yan Shen, under the bright lights, the indifference on his face seemed to soften a little.He is different, he is the one who wants to spend my whole life with me, oh no!Maybe life after life.

How lucky to have met you.

A pretty girl in a foreign dress walked past them gracefully. The corner of her skirt was dyed with lilac, and she held up an oil-paper umbrella. Her bright eyes looked at her gracefully, which made people fascinated.

Xia Jing was standing side by side with him, and suddenly found that his eyes had been lingering on the girl who kept walking forward.The alarm bell in my head rang loudly. Could it be that the estrus period has arrived, and I miss a woman, right?

Ah bah bah bah!I want to get married, but I thought it was a beast when I was in estrus.

"Yan Shen?"

As if he didn't hear it, he stared at the girl who was gradually disappearing into the crowd.The black eyes became darker and more dignified, and even the stars that filled the sky in the past disappeared.

Xia Jing thought obliquely, secretly thinking that it was not good, and held his hanging hand with some worry.

"Yan Shen, are you okay?"

Yan Shen looked back at her and ignored her.Gently shook off her hand, turned around, and walked forward...

Xia Jing only looked at his back suspiciously, then trotted after him.No matter how much prosperity there is behind it, it is not as beautiful as the fading back in front of you.

Yueyin Building, the highest floor.

The empty and dead room was filled with solitude, and the marble-paved surface on the floor also had a dull luster. The long silence was soundless, so quiet that one could hear shallow breathing...

On the gorgeous big bed, there was a person lying horizontally.The man on the bed stretched out his long legs, his thin lips were slightly pursed, but his eyes were piercingly hollow, his whole body seemed to be sinking into an endless depth.The lonely silence was infinitely magnified in the empty room, and the loneliness around him slowly swallowed him whole.He stretched out his right hand and slowly stroked his left chest, where the heartbeat was slow, lonely, and slightly painful.

His deep eyes were fixed, and he looked at the huge bed curtain above his head in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.After a while, he closed his eyes, and the soundless fragments of light and shadow, one after another, danced and reappeared in front of his eyes slowly and clearly, as if agreed upon.

Time is long and heavy like a sponge.

He slowly opened his eyes, his face was obviously expressionless, but it could make people feel sad.No matter what happened in the past, he will still go on the road alone after all, and memories are just memories and can only be recalled.A water curtain suddenly appeared on the bed.His body is also slowly sinking and receding, and even the last piece of black clothes disappears on the water curtain.

Gathering your breath, you stood in front of the lobby door, separated by a landscape screen.It can be vaguely seen, around a table, his father, younger brother and wife.

"Uncle, eat this, this is good."

Lin Yuyin smiled softly, picked up a chopstick and put it in the old man's bowl.

The old man with a majestic face but full of vicissitudes, his silver-white hair was carefully combed behind his head. Contrary to this majesty, he sighed softly, although it was subtle.

"Yu Yin! I know you are a good boy, but our Yan family can't delay you! Don't wait any longer, that brat won't come back."

"Uncle!" Lin Yuyin picked up her chopsticks again indiscriminately. She interrupted his continuation just like interrupting others who wanted to persuade her. It was the girl holding the oil-paper umbrella.

"Yan Shen, he will come back, we should believe him. We also know what he is like, he is not that kind of person, I will wait for him to come back, maybe he just has some reason that cannot be said? I will wait for him, I will wait for him to continue our unfinished wedding." At the end, her eyes lit up with hope, and there was a trace of persistence that made people cry.

The old man couldn't bear to see her deceiving herself.

"Is there any reason for him to leave without a word. Give up the whole family, his career, and his lover?"

Lin Yuyin clenched her mouth tightly, and she held a silk handkerchief tightly, but that cut of autumn water was still unswervingly facing the father of the banquet, without compromise.She is still stubborn, like a soldier guarding the front, her strength is surprising.

"Dad! Don't force Yu Yin, let's wait for big brother to come back, shall we?"

Yan Hao put down the chopsticks in his hand.If the elder brother could come back, he would have come back long ago, how could they not understand.But what about Yuyin?They had to give her hope, even if it was an illusory hope.

And all they can do is pray, hoping that she can see through and come out sooner.At the same time, I also hope that if the elder brother is really still alive, then please let the elder brother soften his heart and come back to see them. She is not the only one who needs to hope.

A long sigh resounded from Yan Hao's heart, dull like the boredom in midsummer, pressing on his throat, unable to vomit or swallow, only unable to speak up or down, maybe still, it's still time to untie the bell. The person who needs to tie the bell.Brother, when will you come back.This should be the common thought of all of them.

Today was supposed to be the reunion festival, but because no one worth looking forward to came, it became extremely silent.

Yan Shen looked away, his dark eyes flickered, and finally became dull, and the whole person fell silent.The hall was quiet except for the sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing.A sense of suffocation rushed into his mind, and he rarely wanted to escape, as if everything could be separated by a screen.So, he turned around and ran away in embarrassment.

"Yan Shen?"

Xia Jing held a big wooden box in his hand and knocked on the door.Looking around, he looked at the empty room in surprise, where would he go at this time?

Walking casually in Yueyin Building, she realized at this time that Yueyin Building is so big.Lowering her brows, she walked in the seemingly endless nine-curved corridor. After a long time, she gradually walked to the trading room. When she got in, she was pleasantly surprised to see the person she wanted to see.

Yan Shen was sitting on a trading chair with a book in his hand, his head slightly lowered, his mouth tightly shut, his eyes seemed to be reading a book and not at all.Because his book has not turned a page for a long time.

Deep colors all around.Xia Jingxie intuitively discovered a major event, and the boss was not happy.What is he sad about?Xia Jingxie didn't speak, she just quietly accompanied him.Sitting in front of it, she gently and delicately placed the big wooden box on the table.But it still disturbed Yan Shen who was meditating.

"what is this?"

Seeing him mentioning it obliquely, Xia Jing opened the big wooden box generously.

"Did you forget? We bought this when we went out together a few days ago."

Several logs are displayed in the large wooden box.

She picked up the log that was placed first.

"This is red sandalwood, a kind of precious wood. It is firm and delicate in brown-purple. It is commonly known as "redwood". I heard from the shop owner that this kind of wood is very beautiful if it is highly polished and waxed to black jade color after carving, and it is also the most beautiful. It’s suitable for carving, if you think it’s good, I’ll help you buy a few more in the future.”

She picked up the red sandalwood and put it in Yan Shen's palm, then looked at the other woods again.

"I've done a lot of research. I've seen this in books. This is ebony, solid, black and grainy. It's commonly known as ebony. It’s fake if it’s not sinking, you can try it when you buy it in the future.”

"And this, this is mahogany. You can see that its texture is staggered and beautiful. The material is solid and slightly rough. Its color is light yellow red at first, and it turns purple red after a long time. It is extremely beautiful after being highly polished and waxed, and it is very suitable for making various Exquisite little craftsmanship, and..."

"Enough, I understand all of these, you put them down and go out." Yan Shen interrupted her unfinished words, and gave the order to evict the guest.

Xia Jing looked at him with slightly condemning and sad eyes, Yan Shen lowered his eyes, and picked up the book again pretending to be calm, without looking up at her again.

"Yan Shen, have you forgotten what day it is today?"

"Mid-Autumn Festival."

Said softly, Yan Shen's heart sank suddenly, his finger that was twirling the book moved slightly, and then let go.A wave of melancholy settled down, as if to accumulate explosive energy, and he was also inexplicable to her sudden questioning.

"That's right! Mid-Autumn Festival, shouldn't we eat moon cakes and admire the moon together?"

"us?"

Xia Jing stood up obliquely, his upper body directly crossed the table, put his hands around Yan Shen's neck, moved his arms down, and hugged his back tightly.

Yan Shen was startled, and pushed her hand away angrily. Xia Jingxie almost fell down, lying on the table. Underfoot, scattered here and there.Yan Shen took a look, without the slightest regret.Standing up, she was tall and tall, her thin lips were tightly pressed, obviously still angry.

But when she said a word, Yan Shen's anger at being offended disappeared, his mind went blank, and he suddenly felt powerless.

"I only have you."

she says.

When Yan Shen heard this, he paused, and raised his eyes to look at Xia Jingxie, only to see that she lowered her eyes, her expression was lonely, her voice was low and lost.Yan Shen couldn't bear it, pursed his lips, swallowed the words to reprimand, and only gently put his hand on her shoulder.

'She's just a little girl who just left her hometown and has nothing. I really don't need to be angry. '

Xia Jing lowered her head obliquely, and suddenly a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was really useful, but when she raised her head, it was rather pitiful.She touched Yan Shen's hand on her shoulder, climbed onto the table, knelt down, and slowly arched his body like a cat, and hugged his neck again with her hands.Yan Shen tilted his head in embarrassment, but retracted the hand that was about to push her away, and slowly slid his hands to her back, patted her back as if to comfort her, and hugged her.

"Don't be afraid."

It was like the second time we met, when Xia Jingxie heard him say "don't be afraid" for the second time, his throat was inexplicably dry.

"Thank you."

Yan Shen smiled slightly in relief, and Xia Jing smiled in his arms as well. The hard place seemed to have softened, and he gently comforted her again, as if facing some fragile treasure.

They are all people who can't go back to their homes. It's cold at night. How can they warm the hearts of people who are alone in a "foreign land". They are all just at this moment, two lonely hearts sticking together and comforting each other.

The author says:

Suddenly thought of a sentence:

One of the best feeling in the world is when you're hugging the person you love, and they hug you back event nighter.

One of the most wonderful things in the world is that when you hug someone you love, he even hugs you tighter.

Yan Shen is a cold person on the outside, but in fact he is only cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he values ​​friendship the most, and is the easiest to soften his heart when it comes to some things.

Emotional things are so difficult to write, it's crazy

I have an extra brother, so I don’t have to worry about the boss’s family dying ╰(*︶`*)╯
