Yu Chen ran in a hurry, he couldn't explain why, he didn't dare to stay there anymore, the voice that suddenly called out to him was like a savior, giving him a reasonable reason to leave. He left too quickly, he didn't know what Bai Xiao's expression was, and he was also afraid that Bai Xiao would show hurt emotions.
Yu Chen didn't expect that Bai Xiao liked him. The answer in that interview suddenly appeared in his ears clearly at this time, well-behaved, soft voice, cute appearance, afraid of the dark, and a little slow, every word is similar to him Unrelated, but somehow involved.
In Yu Chen's own eyes, he is very different from dull and cute, especially cute. He has always felt that after the age of ten, he is not cute at all, because his eyes were not visible when he was young. But after growing up, the lines of the corners and ends of the eyes gradually become sharper, and when there is no expression, they even appear very indifferent.
Therefore, when Bai Xiao used these words to describe the person he liked, Yu Chen didn't think about himself, and directly excluded himself from thinking.
Suddenly there was rain in the sky, Yu Chen raised his head, wiped the water droplets off his face, and hurried back to where his parents were.
Outside the door of the Nancheng Theater, the high walls blocked the rain from falling. The lights looked indifferent under such a dark night, and the interlacing of black and white made people's vision blurred.
Yu Chen turned his head, and the car in which Bai Xiao was sitting had started smoothly. From such a long distance, he couldn't see if the people inside were looking at him, but after a while, the white car merged into the darkness of the night. in, no longer visible.
"Chen Chen, come back quickly, don't get wet." Mother Yu's smiling voice sounded behind him, the mother's soft voice could instantly calm Yu Chen's panic.
"Mom." Yu Chen walked over.
Ying Yunqi was still with Yu's father and Yu's mother. He was standing beside Yu's mother and smiling at him. Yu Chen lowered his eyes to avoid seeing him.
The flaming red in Qing Yu's mother's arms was not clothes, but a bouquet of roses. The warm colors are very conspicuous in the dark night, and the aroma of a large bouquet of roses is blended together, and the rich aroma will stain the surroundings.
"Dad, you didn't even give me flowers when you gave mom flowers today. This is the first time I've performed at a party." Yu Chen smiled and looked at the man who had been standing silently behind Yu's mother.
Yu's father and Yu's mother are very good-looking, even though they are older now, they still have the demeanor of the past.
Father Yu spread out his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't send this from me."
Before Yu Chen could ask, Mother Yu handed the roses in her bosom to Yu Chen, a large bouquet of roses almost covered Yu Chen's upper body , the delicate flowers were tightly attached to his body through the spun yarn on the package.
"It's for Chen Chen." Mother Yu added.
Hearing this, Yu Chen lowered his head and looked at the rose in his bosom. The raindrops were falling on the petals, which were crystal clear, making the flowers more delicate. His snow-white face and the fiery red flowers were almost touching together, and his face against the red light Added some red to it.
He raised his lips, remembering that Mother Yu's favorite is the white rose, even if Father Yu wanted to give it, he would not give such a flamboyant red rose, on the contrary, he prefers this kind of flower.
It's just... who sent him this?
The possibility of parents has been greatly reduced, as Yu Chen said, even if they want to give a bunch, they will give each other a bunch, not just him.
Chu glanced at Ying Yunqiong's shoes with lowered eyes, and Yu Chen tentatively looked towards him, but saw that Ying Yunqiong shook his head with a smile, his brows and eyes became darker because of the dark shadows formed by the lights above his head When he woke up, the smile in those eyes was not as strong as the smile on his lips.
Mother Yu raised her hand and brushed the bouquet of roses with her fingertips, with a puzzled face on her face, she said, "I don't know who gave it to me, but someone sent it over directly, saying it was for you, and there was no one there. "
It's late now, and it's raining again. Except for the people who just came out of the theater, there are no other pedestrians on the side of the road.
Yu Chen looked around one by one, the dim light was shining with raindrops, gradually getting bigger and bigger, so dense that it didn't take a moment to wet people's clothes.
His sight stopped in the distance, because of the design of the theater, it happened to be in an imperceptible place, and the tall bushes blocked half of the field of vision, making it even more concealed, if it wasn't for the figure of the man in the distance being too large It looks familiar, and Yu Chen won't notice it either.
There was a person standing beside the black car, holding an umbrella high in his hand, raindrops were rolling down on the dark umbrella surface, under the umbrella Sheng Mingkong was wearing a suit, and was about to bend down to get on the car, when he lowered his head, his hair It hangs down on the forehead, under the straight and neat shoulder line is a suddenly tightened waist, and a pair of straight and slender legs.
As if aware of the gaze lingering on him, the movement of getting into the car suddenly stopped, straightened up, and looked this way.
Yu Chen, who was holding the rose, didn't have time to look away, just like many times in the past, he looked directly at him.
Sheng Mingkong also came, which Yu Chen did not expect, there was no contact between them, he thought that Sheng Mingkong would not know that he had a show tonight.
Yu Chen pursed his lower lip lightly. The two were too far apart, but Sheng Mingkong's complicated eyes still conveyed it accurately. Before he could think about it, Sheng Mingkong nodded slightly, walked into the car, the door closed, and the dark The umbrella was put away by the driver, and soon the car started to start.
The sleek body turned and headed in the opposite direction.
Yu Chen was stunned. Sheng Mingkong's previous hot pursuit made him unable to adapt to the current situation for a while, but he quickly let out a breath and raised the corners of his lips.
The best distance between them came true as he wished.
The strangeness is like a stranger who has only met a few times. They nodded slightly when they met each other, then turned around tacitly, and looked at each other for a moment without saying a word.
No one can never leave someone, Yu Chen who doesn't want to see Sheng Mingkong again is doing well, and Sheng Mingkong who is no longer chasing Yu Chen should be able to live well too.
Yu Chen smiled. Although he still didn't know who gave the roses in his hand, there was good news tonight.
He looked into the distance for too long, and Ying Yunqi, who had been paying attention to him, followed him, and what he happened to see was the scene of Sheng Mingkong getting on the car. He recognized it at a glance, and couldn't help but say: "Ming Kong is here too?"
The words in a moderate voice made Yu's father and Yu's mother also look over, but at this time the car in the distance had turned its head and drove, and it was impossible to see who was sitting inside.
"Ming Kong..." Mother Yu murmured softly, glanced at Yu Chen, and put all the complicated thoughts into her mouth.
"Mom, let's go back too." Yu Chen said, attracting Mother Yu's attention.
But Father Yu, who had been silent all this time, sighed and said, "I hope he can figure it out sooner, after all, it's a pity."
Father Yu's voice was very low, but Yu Chen could still hear clearly. Still wanting to say something, Mother Yu glanced at it with a smile, and then said nothing, but still seemed to be thinking about something.
Yu Chen knew that whether it was Yu's father, Yu's mother or Sheng Mingkong's parents, they all hoped that the two of them could be together, and many of them were because of him in the past.
"Xiao Chen, let me hold the flowers for you." Ying Yunqi suddenly said at this moment.
Before Yu Chen could think about anything, his thoughts were interrupted. He looked over in doubt, and Ying Yunqi pointed to his shoes.
He lowered his head, the laces of his white sneakers had unraveled at some point, and they were falling to the ground at this moment. He handed the bouquet of roses in his arms to Ying Yunqi, bent down, and when he finished tying the laces, he heard The person beside him said: "Let me hold it for you first, it's inconvenient for you to carry the umbrella."
Yu Chen didn't think much, just nodded.
After waiting for a long time, the driver finally drove the car over. Ying Yunqi handed the flowers to Yu Chen who got into the car, and watched them leave.
The rain was cold, and Ying Yunqi was holding the umbrella with one hand, and kept it in the pocket of his coat. He looked thoughtfully in the direction where Sheng Mingkong was before.
The light at that place was not as bright as this one, and he couldn't see anything clearly through the bushes, but he always felt that Sheng Mingkong hadn't left, maybe he was still there.
Ying Yunqi looked at it for a while, and finally turned around and left.
Sheng Mingkong did not leave. He originally planned to leave without Yu Chen knowing, as if no one knew he was coming, but when Yu Chen found him tonight, he suddenly didn't want to leave and wanted to take another look.
The Yu Chen on the stage was a dazzling stranger to him, but the Yu Chen off the stage was still the same as before.
Sheng Mingkong ordered a bouquet of roses. He remembered that Yu Chen liked flowers of this color very much, but he didn't dare to deliver them himself, otherwise no one would accept them. He thought, if Yu Chen felt the most comfortable in an unfamiliar distance, then he would try his best to maintain this relationship. Watching him from a distance is also pretty good.
The rose was held in Yu Chen's arms as he expected, and Sheng Mingkong, who was hiding in the dark, watched greedily and excitedly.
Would Yu Chen like it?
However, the bouquet of roses ended up in Ying Yunqi's hands.
Sheng Mingkong couldn't help but think about the relationship between Yu Chen and Ying Yunqi. Are they reconciled? Then he can probably rest assured, the resort's slip of the tongue that time made him brood.
But their relationship seemed to be getting closer. Sheng Mingkong recalled the scene he saw in the garden that time, they were so close, the distance he and Yu Chen would never have again.
Jealousy is something that is always out of control. It comes to people's hearts silently and firmly takes root. At some point, it pops up and grows bigger and more lush. It is becoming more and more difficult to control.
The rainwater on the umbrella formed a line and fell right in front of our eyes, wetting Sheng Mingkong's trousers. He bent down, patted it lightly twice, and then smiled wryly.
What is the relationship between Yu Chen and Ying Yunqi now?
After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with a reasonable answer, but something was wrong. Sheng Mingkong felt that his brain seemed to slow down his thinking speed. After a while, he remembered that Yu Chen was not with Bai Xiao. Yet?
Is it a breakup, or which one is fake. (He is thinking about the relationship)
Sheng Mingkong shook his head, restrained his desire to continue exploring, and told himself that no matter what, it had nothing to do with him, and he shouldn't disturb Yu Chen's life anymore.
After talking too much, it seemed that it really worked. When he raised his eyes, the fundus of his eyes returned to the calm appearance before, and Sheng Mingkong clenched the umbrella handle in satisfaction.
But from the perspective of others, if there are no waves, it is obviously darker than the clouds in the sky now. Madness and paranoia are mixed in it, and it seems that lightning, thunder, and heavy rain will fall in the next moment.
"Mr. Sheng, do you want to go back now?" the driver in the driver's seat asked, he didn't turn his head, and through the rearview mirror, he could see that Sheng Mingkong's clothes were already half wet.
"Let's go back."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops wet the car windows, leaving behind a patch of water marks. Apart from these rain sounds, nothing else could be heard in the car, and the atmosphere seemed strangely silent.
Yu Chen wanted to say something several times, but he stopped talking when he noticed Father Yu's expression.
Father seems to have something on his mind.
Yu Chen looked at Mother Yu who was sitting beside her. Mother Yu smiled and rubbed his head, and said, "It's okay, he's just like that, he'll be fine when he gets back. If you don't worry, you can ask him when you get back."
Yu Chen nodded. Yu's father didn't often show such a preoccupied look, which made him wonder if it was because of Sheng Mingkong's matter. Since Sheng Mingkong was mentioned, Yu's father has always had this expression.
He has something to hide from himself, and maybe also from Mother Yu.
"Chen Chen, I saw you chatted with Bai Xiao for a while before, but when you came back, you looked uninterested." Mother Yu asked with concern while holding his finger.
Yu Chen felt that he was not obvious, but when Mother Yu asked, there was no need to hide it. The matter between him and Bai Xiao was too complicated and ridiculous, so he could only say in the end: "I broke up with him. "
He didn't tell Mother Yu about pretending to be a boyfriend, which may be unacceptable to him. Before that, Mother Yu only thought that Yu Chen had a boyfriend.
When Mother Yu heard this, she thought he was sad. She knew that at such a time, nothing would work, so she patted the back of his hand gently, just like when he was sad when he was a child, unconsciously. On the ground, Yu Chen was leaning in her arms.
The sound of pattering raindrops was like a lullaby, Yu Chen blinked his eyes slowly a few times, and soon fell asleep.
Mother Yu looked at his peaceful sleeping face, smiled and whispered: "At this age, I'm still the same as when I was a child. If you're unhappy, you have to go to bed."
The distance between Yu's house and the theater is not far, and it didn't take long before Yu Chen was woken up by Yu's mother. He rubbed his eyes and followed behind his parents in a daze until he saw Yu's father and Yu's mother going upstairs to return. When he got to his room, he suddenly woke up.
He wanted to know if Father Yu's concern had something to do with Sheng Mingkong, if it had something to do with Sheng Mingkong, then he had to ask clearly, he didn't like the feeling that everything was hidden from him.
Also, that engagement agreement, which is like a property agreement.
Sheng Mingkong seems to have a lot of things that he doesn't know. In the past, he always thought that they knew each other, but it wasn't until now that he didn't care about it, he realized that it didn't seem to be the case.
Yu Chen made a sound and called to the people in front of him: "Dad, I have something to ask you. Can I go to the study?
" Look, quickly understood, nodded and went to the study.
Only in the study room of the two of them, Father Yu took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with a clean handkerchief, and said, "You want to ask about Mingkong?
" There is a problem." Yu Chen asked his doubts.
He remembered that after he mentioned the engagement with Father Yu at that time, he didn't ask again. He didn't know what Father Yu and Sheng Mingkong talked about. Not long afterward, Father Yu brought an agreement , let him sign.
Yu Chen has never liked to read those terms and conditions, and it was brought by his father. In addition, when he saw that it was an engagement agreement, he thought that Sheng Mingkong had agreed to their marriage. Just signed his name.
Yu Chen, who was immersed in joy, soon got the words of rejection from Sheng Mingkong. He still remembers Sheng Mingkong's appearance that day and the look in his eyes when he spoke.
"Xiao Chen, we are not suitable, I don't want to delay you."
These are Sheng Mingkong's original words, they are inappropriate, and I don't want to delay him. The translation means that he doesn't like him. Sheng Mingkong looked at him with deep eyes, and he couldn't see through what was inside.
Yu Chen couldn't figure out why he was the first to refuse when he said he wanted to be with him all the time, but it hadn't started yet.
The agreement that only signed his name was naturally forgotten by Yu Chen.
It wasn't until now that he discovered the problem with the agreement, and he finally discovered that things were wrong with Party A.
There is no need for Sheng Mingkong to come up with such an agreement first, and then suddenly go back on it later, it's like deliberately playing tricks.
Even though Yu Chen can't help but think badly about him now, he still doesn't think that Sheng Mingkong is the kind of person who deliberately plays tricks on others. There must be a reason for what he does, and maybe Yu Chen can't understand that reason.
Yu Chen sat on the chair next to the desk, and made love to Yu's father, but Yu's father didn't answer him immediately, and the movement of cleaning the glasses was still delicate and slow, until the lenses reflected clean light, he raised his hand to put them on. up, to start explaining.
"The agreement was given to me by Mingkong. When I mentioned the engagement with him, he didn't agree immediately, he just said that he would consider it. After a while, he came to me and said he was willing, but he had to sign it before the engagement. Agreement." Father Yu looked at Yu Chen and said, the incident was not too long ago, it has not been a year, and his memory is still very clear.
"At that time, I thought he was worried about our family's bad luck. After reading the agreement, he knew that he was actually worried about your uncles and aunts."
"Uncle Sheng and Aunt Gu? Why?" Yu Chen didn't quite understand. In his impression, although the relationship between these two uncles and aunts is not good, they are generally deaf, but he never thought that the relationship between Sheng Mingkong and them is so bad.
Yu Chen has always been a naive person, no matter before time-traveling or after time-traveling, he is a naive young master with a happy family and no worries, so that most people's guesses are based on his own family.
But everyone is different. Yu's father and Yu's mother love their children, but it doesn't mean that Sheng Mingkong's parents also love their children.
Hearing this, Father Yu sighed, and took a deep look at his son. They protected Yu Chen too well, and Sheng Mingkong had a character of not saying anything, so that now Yu Chen didn't know about the Sheng family. matter.
"Your Uncle Sheng, Auntie Gu, is not as good as you imagined. Do you remember Mingkong was hospitalized once when you were a child, and your mother and I took you to see him?"
Sheng Mingkong was hospitalized?
Yu Chen shook his head. Whether Sheng Mingkong was a child or now, he has always been a strong person. He rarely saw him sick, and even if he was sick, he would never go to see a doctor, so he never had Sheng Mingkong hospitalized in his memory. thing.
"That's right. You were too young at that time. It's normal not to remember. You were only three years old when Mingkong was kidnapped by the kidnappers." Father Yu narrated the past events one by one, and his voice was low and thrilling. s story.
Yu Chen frowned. He had never heard Sheng Mingkong mention this matter. A nine-year-old child was kidnapped by kidnappers. Hearing that his father on the phone gave up on him, what kind of feeling does Yu Chen dare not think about? .
It's no wonder that Sheng Mingkong never shows his upper body where there are people, and he always wears the tightest clothes. It's no wonder that he has dense scars on his back before.
Father Yu's voice continued to speak, and Yu Chen finally understood why Sheng Mingkong proposed to sign such an extremely unfavorable agreement.
It's just...
"Then why did he suddenly go back on his word?" Yu Chen asked.
"At that time, there was a problem with the Sheng family's company. He was worried that his plan would not be completed. Moreover, he had a serious illness. He was afraid that he would not be able to make it through, so he didn't want to delay you." Father Yu summed it up simply.
Yu Chen didn't expect this to be the reason, he was startled, recalled the past period of time, and murmured: "He never told me."
" He Don't let others talk about it." Father Yu sighed.
Yu Chen didn't know when Father Yu left. He kept searching for the memories of the past. At that time, because Sheng Mingkong rejected the engagement, Yu Chen never contacted him again.
Yu Chen didn't remember why the two reconciled, but he never wondered if something went wrong with Sheng Mingkong during that time, because they kept in touch on WeChat.
Yu Chen took out his phone, clicked on WeChat, and opened the contact he had blocked. He had never used the function of blocking before, and the only person blocked was Sheng Mingkong.
Fortunately, blocking a person does not delete the chat history. Yu Chen searched upwards, and he quickly swiped through the messages. He didn't know how long he swiped, and finally saw the chat messages at that time.
On a certain night, Sheng Mingkong suddenly sent a message, and the green chat box displayed: "Xiaochen"
A few short words were sent in the middle of the night.
Maybe at that time, Sheng Mingkong sent it to him before the operation, maybe he had been waiting for a reply, but Yu Chen didn't reply to him until the next day.
Sheng Mingkong is really a person who can't speak, all his thoughts are hidden in his heart, thousands of thoughts are surging in his heart, and in the end all he can say are a few cold words.
Yu Chen knew that he had seen the message at that time, but he was angry and didn't want to reply. If Sheng Mingkong could tell him the truth, or say something nice to him, this message would not be replied until a week later. Responded at the request of my father.
He closed his eyes, the matter was beyond his imagination, the words Sheng Mingkong flashed back and forth in front of his eyes, most of the resentment against him dissipated at this time.
The sudden truth made him a little overwhelmed, and his confused brain slowly got what he was worried about. Since recovering the memory of his previous life, he has been thinking about why he fell in love with Sheng Mingkong just like in the book.
Sometimes, he is not sure why he loves him, is it because he is Yu Chen, so he has to follow the plot?
Now, he finally understands that when he liked Sheng Mingkong at the beginning, he really liked him. The past twenty years have not followed the plot. He has been free from beginning to end, but he is Yu Chen, the person he likes. It happened to be Sheng Mingkong.
But unfortunately, the truth came too late, and he didn't like Sheng Mingkong anymore.
To be continued...
