That night, Lu Mingxi slept very deeply. From the initial nervousness, to the later relaxation, it took the girl less than 1 minute to get used to it.

What is a bit of a slap in the face is that Mingxi feels that Gu Jingnian's arms are too comfortable, just like a small boat swimming to a quiet harbor, a duckweed finds the stranded soil, the bird finds a branch to perch, and the chick stays under the feathers of the mother chicken. Subconsciously, that feeling of familiarity and trust all crawled out.

The tiredness in his back slowly disappeared with the man's gentle patting. The whole person seems to be floating in the sea, sinking and floating in the waves, and after a while, he drifts to sleep.

Compared with a woman's second sleep, Gu Jingnian's sleep is much more difficult.

"Mingxi. Mingxi. The girl in the bed called several times, but the girl's eyelids didn't move. He patted the girl on the cheek again.

"Lu Mingxi, you are really a pig. ”

Gu Jingnian couldn't help but laugh, once he fell asleep, Lei couldn't wake up, which was the same as before the amnesia. Once, the man who returned late would always sneak into the girl's room to stay, and at that time, looking at the girl's sleepy eyes would always make people unconsciously relax and want to sleep.

But today, when I hugged it like this, my body began to get hot for a while, and I couldn't sleep. Gu Jingnian's enjoyment is clearly lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Mingxi was completely asleep, his nose exhaled evenly, his long eyelashes were obediently attached to his cheeks, and his small mouth was firmly closed, no longer aggressive.

The man reached out and gently scraped the tip of the girl's nose. The events of the day passed through my mind like a movie. He had already lost the girl once, and he would never let the girl go a second time.

In fact, as early as when Lu Mingxi asked Gu Jingnian to investigate the car accident, Gu Jingnian suspected that Mingxi was Xin Yi. So he went to find Lu Mingxi's father for the first time, a quiet monk.

The monk seems to be a little different than it was five years ago. In the past, monks were similar to ascetics, dressed in coarse cloth and hemp, but now, wearing regular clothes of better materials, the temples they live in are also splendid. He wasn't surprised at all when he saw Gu Jingnian. The monk was making tea, poured Gu Jingnian a cup of Pu'er, and said, "You are here." ”

"Mingxi is your daughter?"

"Have you seen Mingxi?" The old monk was very calm about Lu Mingxi's existence, as if he didn't want to hide it from Gu Jingnian at all.

"Is she Xinyi?"

"Does this matter?" Compared to the gorgeous clothes, the monk's eyes were like a leaf of dead wood, and he looked at Gu Jingnian's ancient well, and his deep glance was like an ancient Zen bell wandering in the mountain temple. The monk spoke: "Young man, color is emptiness, emptiness is color. The name is just a person's appearance, whether she is called Mingxi or Xinyi, she is her. As he said this, the old monk brewed kung fu tea again, and he raised a small bubble cup to refill himself with tea.

But Gu Jingnian was angry, his hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were clear, "The master is a monk, but he has deceived me for so many years, and he still talks about Buddhism." ”

The old monk was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply and said, "She really suffered a lot. ”

At that moment, Gu Jingnian's heart seemed to be pinched fiercely.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"At home, she may be more dangerous. ”

Both fell silent afterward.

It wasn't until Gu Jingnian got up and was about to leave that the old monk finally spoke again: "Her grandfather deceived her back to China by taking advantage of her poor health, I promised to let Mingxi attend Grandpa's birthday banquet before leaving, during this time, please be sure to keep Mingxi away from the Lu family." It was not like an elder saying it, but more like an old father's plea.

"What about in the future? Do you still want to take Xin Yi with you?"

The monk was silent.

"Again?"

But even if the man's problem is unforgiving, in the face of the girl's father, all Gu Jingnian's strength and domineering still turned into dust.

The old monk's voice was a little hoarse, and his face was full of helplessness: "I just want Xin Yi to be well." Do not take harm. ”

The monk seems to be older than his peers, and the wrinkles on his face are not only carved into the skin, but also in the monk's heart. The memory seems to have gone back a long time ago, a past that I don't even want to look back on.

"You should know that Xin Yi was raised. More than 20 years ago, Xin Yi was lost when he was born. He was taken from the hospital and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. My wife went insane because of this and is still living in a nursing home. At that time, my wife blamed me for having a seizure, blaming me for being too busy with work, and I didn't even accompany her to give birth, so the child would be lost. ”

"So you're a monk because of this?"

"It's not. If that's the case, I'm going to be too easy to escape. After all, I used to be the leader of Lu's Medicine, and although such a blow is very painful, it is not fatal. It's just that a few days before the child was taken away, I happened to find out that my younger brother Lu Haiqing bought shoddy medicinal materials and took kickbacks in the middle. ”

"Do you think your brother found someone to steal your child?"

"I was just skeptical. Because I was not around when Xin Yi was born, I asked my brother-in-law to help take care of the mother and daughter. Later, I overheard the conversation between the couple and the couple, and no one could stand in the way of them becoming the leader of the company, and no one could stand in the way of all the heirs of the family. When I heard that, I felt cold all over my body, like I was sweating and someone poured cold water on me. People say that when I was young, I liked to have fun, and I was reluctant to get married. But who knows. My mother passed away early, and my father spent his early years in the shopping mall, so he didn't have time to take care of my siblings. I took my younger siblings with me and took care of them when I was a child, but then my father had difficulties in his business and my younger siblings were young, so I took up the burden of the family by myself. It wasn't until they got married and started a family that I thought about getting married and having children. I don't want to know who took my daughter. I don't want to pursue anything. After that day, I left home, and I didn't care about everything about the Lu family anymore. I'm not pure in heart and few desires, and I can't be pure in the six roots. I just feel tired. I don't want anything, give it to them. And five years ago, I met Xin Yi by chance in the mountains, and I knew that my daughter was back. People are forgetful, I forgot what my brother had done, and I brought Xin Yi back to the Lu family. The biggest regret in my life is for Xin Yi to attend her grandfather's birthday party. With this, the monk slowly lowered his head.

Gu Jingnian seemed to see the old monk's shoulders trembling, and slowly calmed down his good mood, and the monk continued: "The heart of the wicked will not get better. You know what happened next. ”

After the monk said all this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, a simple paragraph, but it seemed that he had finished his life.
