Hearing Shen Zhuoli's words, Zhai Siluo's whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and his mind went blank in an instant.
He looked at the group photo carefully, and found that although the facial features of the boy in the photo were very similar to Shen Weixi's when he was young, the expressions between his eyebrows and eyes were still somewhat different. Shen Weixi's facial features were even more unruly, while the boy's eyebrows were always introverted and calm, with a touch of sadness.
He suddenly remembered that he didn't remember what Shen Zhuoli looked like when he was a child, he only remembered that he was a rather delicate and beautiful teenager, the kind of beauty that would be praised by passing aunties and uncles on the road. However, at this moment, the boy's face in the photo frame finally completely overlapped with his memory.
No wonder he felt a startling familiarity when he first saw Shen Weixi, as if he had seen this face somewhere a long time ago. Only now did he realize that he was subconsciously looking for Shen Zhuoli's shadow in Shen Weixi. .For so many years, what he has been searching for is just a substitute.
What a sarcastic black humor.
"Xiao Luo, what's the matter with you? Is there any problem?" Shen Zhuoli looked at him puzzled.
Zhai Siluo slowly put the photo frame back in the middle of the bookcase, he looked around in a daze, and suddenly saw two clear bloodstains on Shen Zhuoli's hand.
"Your hand is bleeding. Did Xiao Jiu grab it?"
"It's okay. The kittens have all been vaccinated." These stray cats who often come to his yard for a stroll are regularly taken to the veterinary hospital for examination, and all the vaccines are complete.
However, Zhai Siluo didn't think it was a trivial matter. It would be a pity to leave a scar on Shen Zhuoli's beautiful hand.
He found the medical kit, took out iodine and cotton swabs, and gave Shen Zhuoli medicine.
Shen Zhuoli couldn't fathom his sudden change.
."I see that Xiaojiu was making trouble here just now, did he not catch you?"
"No." Zhai Siluo seemed to be absent-minded, wiped the medicine, and the cotton swab poked somewhere else.
"Xiao Luo, didn't you have a good rest?" Shen Zhuoli knew that Zhai Siluo had made a lot of announcements in the past two days, so he must be very busy.
Zhai Siluo looked up at him, then lowered his eyes quickly, and said vaguely, "It seems to be a little bit, and I will be going to shoot a magazine cover tomorrow, as well as an interview..."
He started to feel sleepy as he talked about the schedule after that.
Shen Zhuoli smiled, raised his hand and rubbed the broken hair behind his ear.
"Then go back to rest early, and invite me to dinner another day."
"Ok."
Back home, Zhai Siluo sat on the bay window, staring at the lake outside the window in a daze.
.The feathery touch of the man's hand brushing his cheek still seemed to linger on his face.
Brother Zhuoli is really a very gentle person...
Why did he get sick when he was a child? If he hadn't gotten sick, he wouldn't have forgotten him, and if he hadn't forgotten him, he wouldn't have fallen in love with Shen Weixi...
Since being reborn for so long, this is the first time that Zhai Siluo feels as if his heart is being torn apart.
The next day, he pushed all the announcements for the past two days and took the high-speed train back to the small county where he once lived.
The old house has been sold, and now another family of three lives there. Osmanthus and peach trees are planted in the yard, and a little girl is doing her homework on a stone bench.
Zhai Siluo knocked on the door hesitantly.
"Dad, Mom, a celebrity has come to our house!" .The little girl was also chasing the hot-blooded boy, and she recognized him at once, and she was very surprised.
After learning that he was the son of the previous householder and a star, the couple warmly received him.
After Zhai Siluo explained his purpose, the couple were a little surprised.
"Looking for the letter from more than ten years ago? I don't seem to have any impression. It's been too long." The host was blank.
The hostess was also at a loss. She tried to recall the years when she and her husband first moved in, and suddenly a light flashed in her mind.
"Husband, have you sold all those old books and old newspapers in the warehouse?"
"I'm going to sell it in the next two days, what's wrong?"
"I remember seeing a few envelopes in it. I thought it was sent to the wrong address, so I kept it there, waiting for someone to find it. It's been there for years."
.Zhai Siluo's eyes lit up, "Can I go in and have a look?"
Dust fluttered in the dim utility room, exuding a damp, musty smell. Zhai Siluo squatted half-squatting, rummaging through the old yellowed newspapers, and finally found a corner of an envelope. When he opened it, he found a promotional advertisement.
One after another, when I opened it, they were all overdue bills, promotional advertisements, discount coupons, and the like. When I opened the last envelope, Zhai Siluo had given up hope, but he saw Qingjun's beautiful handwriting on the cover.
Xiao Luo received.
He opened the letter tremblingly. After more than ten years, the thin paper seemed to shatter when squeezed.
Shen Zhuoli's words are just like people, handsome and straight.
Xiao Luo, I don't know if you can receive this letter. .I heard from my mother that you have moved, and I have also moved to live in another place with my mother and stepfather. Xiao Luo, for some reasons, I may not be able to see you in the past few years, I'm sorry. You should be taller now, but don't cry like you used to.
I'm all right, I hope you are as happy and happy as ever. Hope to get a reply this time.
Shen Zhuoli.
pat.
Something fainted on the yellowed stationery, obscuring the ancient handwriting.
It turns out that Shen Zhuoli really wrote letters to himself, and he also wrote many letters. Just because he moved around, he didn't even receive a letter.
He clearly said that Brother Zhuoli should remember him, but why did he forget the other party?
Zhai Siluo, you are such a heartless fool!
After thanking the couple, it was already dark when they came out of the old house.
.Zhai Siluo sat on a bench in the park and called Zhai Siming.
"Brother, I want to ask you something. What happened to Brother Zhuoli's family back then?"
Zhai Siming was picking jewelry for his fiancee in the jewelry store. Hearing his words, his face quickly turned serious, and he signaled the clerk next to him to leave first.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking this? It's been so many years, I thought you wouldn't ask again."
"I only know that brother Zhuoli is the illegitimate son of the Shen family. His mother should have been forced. I don't know what happened after that."
Zhai Siming sighed, pressed his eyebrows, and looked a little melancholy.
"It's a long story, do you remember Zhuo Li came to our house for two months during the summer vacation? . During that time, my mother was doing legal aid, and Aunt Zhuo came to her door to ask her for help. She wanted my mother to help her file a lawsuit and sue Mr. Shen for rape. "
"Aunt Zhuo and Mom were originally high school classmates, and they have always had friendship, so Mom should come down, but the Shen family was in Wancheng at that time, and it had been more than ten years since the case, and it was very difficult to find witnesses. After being busy with the case, I did not know how many connections I found. Finally, the case was put on file. The key witnesses agreed to testify, and I went to the media to report. His leg was broken, and those people threatened to kill his whole family, and in the end Aunt Zhuo had to withdraw the lawsuit for the safety of her husband's life."
Zhai Siluo remembered that her mother was a well-known lawyer in the industry, and she must have put in a lot of effort and energy to help her friend. .But in the end, she had to withdraw the lawsuit, which must have been extremely disappointing and frustrated. No wonder her mother was always in a bad mood during that time.
"After the lawsuit was withdrawn, the Shen family instead said that Aunt Zhuo had poured dirty water on them, that Aunt Zhuo had deliberately corrupted money through the lawsuit, and had also received a settlement fee of 5 million yuan. There were overwhelming reports of public opinion, and Aunt Zhuo's parents couldn't stand the pressure. , committed suicide by drinking pesticides. In order to avoid suspicion, Aunt Zhuo had to move Zhuo Li to a very remote place, and even friends and relatives were afraid to contact them. "
Zhai Siluo only felt cold all over his body.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me these things earlier?"
"Is it useful to tell you? You have been in love with Shen Weixi to the death over the past few years, and you are eager to marry him. Besides, Mr. Shen has indeed done a lot of charity these years, or is he an outstanding entrepreneur, the public The image is very amiable and respectable, and he also took Shen Zhuoli back to the Shen family, which is also good to him. . . What can I say? "
"If Aunt Zhuo goes to court after an accident... will it be different?"
"Aunt Zhuo should have been twenty years old when she was pregnant with her child. She was still a college student. Girls of that age can't even cry when faced with such a thing. It's not easy to live a strong life. Later, the lawsuit was also encouraged by her husband. Come on, I finally got the courage, but who would have thought that the power of the Shen family is too great..."
After listening to Zhai Siming's remarks, Zhai Siluo sat on the bench and didn't speak for a long time.
He finally understood why Shen Zhuoli said he couldn't come to see him.
If everything is fine, he must not be at all. He couldn't imagine what the teenagers were going through at that time, endless gossip or ridicule? What kind of mood did he return to Shen's house and call Father Shen to Father Shen?
."Brother, I found the letter." Zhai Siluo said suddenly.
"What letter? Where are you now?" Zhai Siming always felt that there was something wrong with his tone today.
"Brother Zhuoli wrote me a letter. It turns out that he has always written to me, but I only found it today."
Zhai Siming groaned in his heart.
Why does his stupid brother care about Shen Zhuoli so much all of a sudden? Won't be enlightened, right?
"Brother, I think I'm so stupid, really stupid. You used to call me stupid, and I refuted you. Now that I think about it, you're right at all."
"You're not hopelessly stupid, either. It's my brother, Zhai Siming, isn't it?"
Zhai Siming was playing with the jewelry box in his hand, and suddenly remembered something, and decided to test him by sidetracking.
."Speaking of Zhuo Li, I seem to have heard that he has a blind date tomorrow afternoon. The other party is the daughter of some jewelry group. I heard that Mr. Shen is very satisfied with the other party, and he wants that daughter-in-law to be his daughter-in-law."
No matter, anyway, let's talk about it first.
Zhai Siluo frowned slightly, "Blind date? But isn't brother Zhuoli never blind date?"
"Who knows, it's probably because he was forced to do nothing by his family, sigh, after all, he is also a thirty-year-old."
Doesn't brother Zhuoli have someone he likes? Why go on a blind date?
Zhai Siluo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"It is said that it is the five-star hotel on the riverside, that is, the one with the Internet celebrity afternoon tea restaurant. I also heard that many people take wedding photos there."
.Zhai Siluo immediately made up the scene of a handsome and tall man and a beautiful and generous woman taking a wedding photo by the river, only to feel that his chest was even more blocked.
After hanging up, he took the nearest high-speed train back to Wancheng.
Putting the letter in the bottom drawer of the bedside table, he took a shower, changed his clothes, went to the villa next door, and found that Shen Zhuoli was indeed not there.
In the yard where roses were blooming, the long-haired orange cat was walking around, and seeing Zhai Siluo who was in a daze came over and rubbed his feet.
Zhai Siluo sat on the swing and wanted to send a WeChat message to Shen Zhuoli to ask him if he really wanted to go on a blind date in the afternoon, but he felt that he didn't have any qualifications.
what happened to him? If brother Zhuoli can find the girl he likes, then he should be happy for him, why is his chest so uncomfortable?
.Looking at the address Zhai Siming sent him repeatedly, he gritted his teeth and returned to the villa.
After half an hour.
"Hello, welcome." The French double-opening floor-to-ceiling glass door opened. Seeing the young man wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap in front of him, Waiter's smile stiffened.
"You don't need to say hello to me, you can just be busy."
Zhai Siluo pressed his cap, like a thief, and sneaked to the innermost booth.
Although it is an Internet celebrity restaurant, because today is a working day, there are not many customers, and the expensive price also discourages many people.
Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling glass door, it is a beautiful river view, and there are ferries whistling passing by from time to time. A restaurant with such a good view is indeed suitable for blind dates.
.Zhai Siming didn't tell him the specific time, so Zhai Siluo had to order a cup of coffee, pretend to read a book, and wait in the booth. When the coffee continued to the third cup, finally a tall and beautiful woman walked in with a Chanel limited edition leather bag.
The woman's appearance and temperament are already outstanding, but the man behind her is no different. Shen Zhuoli wore a dark green shirt today, with elegant facial features, a slender and fair wrist, and the Patek Philippe diamond watch on his hand exuded a quiet light.
Before reaching the booth, Shen Zhuoli opened the chair and asked the woman to sit first. He was a very considerate gentleman with every gesture, and the woman was obviously satisfied with his performance, and she was already smiling before talking.
Zhai Siluo's face was hidden behind the raised menu, and he cautiously looked at the two people not far away.
The golden boy and girl, it's them.
.Two people who are such a good match, the children born in the future will definitely be very good-looking...
Zhai Siluo lowered his head and silently took a sip of the cold coffee. Why on earth did he come here to humiliate himself?
on the other end of the deck.
The pink roses were blooming in the white porcelain vase. After the woman ordered the order, she fluttered her long hair on her chest and looked at the man opposite her with an affectionate wink and a smile.
She was very satisfied when she saw Shen Zhuoli's photo, and now she was even more pleasantly surprised to see the real person.
Just thinking about how to euphemistically express that you are satisfied with him, you can rest assured and boldly come after this princess, when the man opposite suddenly speaks.
"Miss Gu, I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."
The woman's expression froze.
"I was forced to come to see you under the pressure of my elders, but this is the last time, and there will be no next time. I don't want to hurt you, so I have to make it clear first. "
The woman's beautiful face turned dark in an instant, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly.
"I'll just say, how can such a rich, handsome and clean man get me."
"Miss Gu, don't think like that. You are beautiful and excellent, but I already have my heart. I'm very sorry."
Looking at Shen Zhuoli's sincere eyes, the woman smiled.
"To be liked by someone like you, that person must be very happy."
"Okay, this lady has to do her nails, so I won't accompany her."
She can also think about it, anyway, this one is not good, there is another one, there are so many good men, it just takes a little effort to find it. However, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and the corners of her mouth twitched with interest.
.Holding her bag, just as she was about to pass Shen Zhuoli, she suddenly leaned down, her long hair fell on his shoulders, and put it close to his ear, "By the way, I'll tell you a little secret before I leave, there is a The handsome guy with sunglasses sitting diagonally opposite has been staring at you since we first came in."
In the end what happened? Why did the woman suddenly leave?
Zhai Siluo surreptitiously looked at the table, and when he was at a loss, he saw the woman leaning over and leaning against Shen Zhuoli's ear, as if saying something.
From this angle, the two seem to be kissing...
The bitter taste of coffee seemed to spread from his throat to the depths of his heart.
It was the first time he had seen Shen Zhuoli and other women so close.
He didn't look any further, lowered his head and stared at the sugar cube on the bone dish in a daze. .Sure enough, Shen Zhuoli kissed him that night because he was drunk in the bar, because he was self-motivated, and he even thought that Shen Zhuoli was different to him...
The man clearly only regarded him as his younger brother.
The heart shrank like a crumpled paper ball, and there was a fine pain. When he was hesitating whether to pay the bill, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and the menu standing on the table disappeared.
The tall and handsome man was standing at his desk, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Xiao Luo, why are you here?"
How did Shen Zhuoli discover him?
Zhai Siluo, who was caught, suddenly panicked. He helped his sunglasses, then took out his mask and put it on.
"Uh... I heard from fans that the coffee here is delicious. Many people came to check in, so they wanted to try it."
.I don't know if it was because he drank too much coffee and was overly nervous, his stomach started to cramp, and just after saying that, he sweated on his face, and his face became extremely pale.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here..."
Zhai Siluo couldn't go on, his stomach hurt more and more, as if a pair of scissors were stirring his flesh and blood in it. He didn't want to lose face in front of Shen Zhuoli, so he tried to go to the front desk to pay the bill, but as soon as he stood up, his eyes turned black.
"Xiao Luo!"
Wake up again, in the hospital ward.
The gray-haired old doctor took the report and frowned at him.
"Drinking and drinking coffee again, these are all things that hurt the stomach, do you know that? You are lucky to have no stomach perforation after drinking so much cold coffee!"
."Even if you are young, if you don't protect your body, if you continue to toss so endlessly, you will get stomach cancer sooner or later!"
"Doctor Wang, I've caused you trouble because I didn't take good care of him. You can just scold me."
Zhai Siluo huddled under the quilt, listening to Shen Zhuoli help him speak, with a sweet heart. But when he thought of the scene where he was close to his face with a woman, the sweetness turned into bitterness.
"Xiao Luo, are you feeling better?" A man's gentle voice came from above his head.
Zhai Siluo didn't really want to talk to him. He turned his back, and the voice came from the quilt, muffled.
"Brother Zhuoli, are you getting married?"
Shen Zhuoli laughed, "Where did you hear the rumor?"
"But weren't you on a blind date just now? I think you are quite satisfied with others..."
."I told Miss Gu that I already have someone I like. She expressed understanding, so she left first."
"Ah?" Zhai Siluo couldn't help turning over, sticking his head out from under the quilt, and his bright black eyes looked at him in amazement and surprise.
"The reason I found you was because Miss Gu reminded me."
So Miss Gu had already discovered him?
Zhai Siluo was so embarrassed he didn't know what to do. What an oolong he made today, it's all Zhai Siming's fault!
"Xiao Luo, why do you care so much about whether I get married or not?"
Shen Zhuoli suddenly bent down and put one hand on his pillow, his handsome face was very close, and the warm breath enveloped him like an invisible big net.
