Shen Xingye leaned against the wall, feeling the last meaning in his body, the vitality slowly crushing down with the endless darkness.

Without seeing the muzzle, he does not panic. He can't see the wound, he doesn't fear.

And I can't see Bai Luoya's face-

"That's a good ......"

Shen Xingye suddenly smiled, breathed slowly, and said, "I can't see it, so I never have to imagine what kind of hideous and crazy you will be at this moment." At least...... In my eyes, my Luoya is still so pure and beautiful......"

"Have you thought about it if...... There is no Zhao Anyue, there is no previous fire, there is no calculation and conspiracy...... The two of us, can we make it to the end?"

Shen Xingye braced himself hard, and the pain in his abdomen made him seem to be unable to find the balance of his body.

"We're going to get married normally and raise Twilight together, I'm ...... But Luoya, we are different people after all. The idea that you can do whatever it takes to achieve your ends has always been ...... to me It's all no-go. You're as proud as I am, and you're even more uncomfortable with the status quo than I am. Will we really get along happily with each other? Will we die without a problem, will we ......?"

"You're right. Bai Luoya sneered and took a few steps back, "However, what I don't want myself, and what others have snatched...... Shen Xingye, you have been with me for so many years, who have you seen me admit defeat to?"

"Luoya...... Win or lose, or ......"

Shen Xingye coughed heavily a few times, and his gaze softened a little.

He tried to draw the colors of the past in his mind, trying not to think about how many terrible scheming her strange face contained.

I love you, but I'm also afraid of you.

I have seen you as one, and I wish you to be buried forever in the past.

It's all true...... But really, what can it be?

Bai Luoya's tears were full of despair, looking at the loaded gun in her hand, looking at the blood-stained clothes of her beloved, she suddenly wanted to laugh out loud-

Whose fault is all this, and who should atone for it?

"Why...... Why did you accept your fate so easily, and why did you fall in love with Zhao Anyue...... Why can't you recognize me, why do you ignore all the hints I give you! Shen Xingye, I gave you a chance. I thought about not going through the rest of the story in this way......

Do you know that when I come back to you again, I pass by you. Your empty eyes, neat clothes, and face seem to be full of your ultimate satisfaction and recognition for the life attitude of your wife at home. I knew you were finally falling...... You said that I am the only one! How can you be conquered by her so quickly? You say that you will die and be buried with me, how can you be so quick that even my voice ...... I can't think of it......"

"Because I need love too, Lhoya. I'm not as strong as you think......"

Shen Xingye stretched out his hand, and the dripping blood stained Bai Luoya's bright tears.

"Luoya, I am the same as every ordinary man in this world, I can't afford to be born and die together. I can't keep you for the rest of my life, just as I can't really forsake everything and die for you...... If falling in love with someone else is the reason you're crazy, then I really can only say sorry. If you want to kill me, you will do it......"

Shen Xingye's hand slowly slid off Bai Luoya's cheeks, and he turned his face slightly, trying to find Zhao Anyue's direction.

"I ask you for one thing, don't separate the two of us again......"

Bai Luoya's shoulders began to tremble, she screamed, frantically pushed Shen Xingye down, and then grabbed the gun and pulled the trigger on him again!

"Do you want to die? I'll fulfill you! All the nonsense you say is an excuse! It's all fart! You're like all men? You still have your own life, and you have the possibility of falling in love with someone else? I'm dead, and you married Zhao Anyue. But she's dead, why don't you even want to live! You love her, don't you? Shen Xingye, what I care about is not that you are in love with another woman, but because ...... I see it in your face...... Seeing that kind of calm and down-to-earth expression is far better than the happiness when you and I were together. I hate you for loving her...... Better than loving me......"

"yes......"

Shen Xingye lay quietly on the floor, he felt that his body was cold, but there was a burst of warmth under him.

The temperature of the blood-soaked body cooled little by little, and colors began to appear in front of his eyes, and the fragments were wrapped in the refraction of the sunlight, gradually piecing together a large banyan tree that summer.

The green leaves shade the chirping of cicadas.

The girl with the double ponytail smiled brighter than the sun, her brows were curved like a crescent moon, and the light in her eyes was as bright as a galaxy.

- Are you called an orangutan? Do you like bananas?

At this moment, a siren sounded from far and near, and soon surrounded the villa, which was perfect for storytelling.

"Put the gun down!"

The criminal police rushed in, raised their weapons in unison, and faced Bai Luoya.

"Hoshino!"

Ling Jue rushed forward.

"Hoshino, call an ambulance!"

"Ling Jue ......"

Shen Xingye used his last strength to grab Ling Jue's sleeve, trying to break free-

"An An ......"

His hand reached for the female corpse on the sofa little by little. The blood-colored tears in his eyes set off his face very sadly.

"An An, let me ...... Accompany her ......"

"Shen Xingye, don't move anymore!"

Ling Jue held him down so hard that he couldn't see where he was injured at all, his whole body was stained with blood, and he didn't know how many shots he had been shot by Bai Luoya!

"An An is gone, I ......"

He struggled to pounce, as if he had exhausted the last of his life.

Ling Jue couldn't hold him down, so he could only drive him a little closer to the already cold body.

"An An ......"

"She's not Zhao Anyue!Shen Xingye, calm down!"

Ling Jue set his gaze on the dead woman's body and shuddered involuntarily.

She has a face that is somewhat similar to Zhao Anyue, with curvature at the corners of her eyes, the bridge of her nose and the middle of her lips, but it is red, swollen, impetuous, and has unhealed scars on her cheeks.

"She's not Zhao Anyue, she just looks a little alike! Hoshino, don't ...... like that"

"No, she's ...... I could recognize her eyes, her lips ......"

"She's not pregnant, she's been shot in the abdomen, but she's definitely not pregnant!"

Ling Jue hated the iron and put the female corpse's hand in Shen Xingye's hand: "Look at her hand! Is it Zhao Anyue's hand!"

No!

A thick layer of calluses on his fingertips, and the habit of always trimming his nails very short so as not to scratch him......

It's Du Xueqi.

"Hehehe, Shen Xingye, you'll never know where Zhao Anyue is......"

Bai Luoya, who was surrounded by the police, did not put down her gun from beginning to end, but at this moment, she turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at her temple.

"Bai Luoya, you tell me, where is An An, where are you hiding!"

Bai Luoya's gaze began to blur, and began to fade away from cruelty layer by layer, and exchanged for a relieved determination.

"Hoshino, go find it...... As long as you can't find her body, you're going to live, forever, aren't you?"

Bai Luoya closed her eyes vigorously, and a flamboyant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hoshino, take care of Twinkle for me, that's your responsibility. Farewell. ”

With a gunshot without hesitation, Bai Luoya ended the most beautiful freeze frame in that man's heart in the least beautiful way.

"Don't !! Bai Luoya, you tell me! Where is An An! Where is she!"

Ann......

I can still feel your breath, you must not have gone far, did you?

The short time you have been with me seems to have redeemed the darkness of my life.

Even if I get to this moment, I can't remember what you really look like......

But I'm not worried at all.

Because I know that when I open my eyes again, when I fall in love with someone again – she must be what you are.

***

There is light.

Shen Xingye couldn't tell if he was in reality or a dream, he only felt a strong light break through the darkness and pierce into his eyes like a dagger.

My head hurts.

He moved his fingers, only able to move.

His left hand was in a cast, and the pain in his chest and abdomen didn't seem to be as bad as the headache.

He tried to open his eyes, but found that the terrifying light was getting more and more arrogant.

He opened his mouth to try to shout, but the smell of blood choked him.

"Hoshino!"

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Shen Xingye's voice was hoarse, and he slowly called out two words.

"Third uncle. ”

"You're finally awake. Shen Dongren sighed, "You were shot three times, and the doctors said it was a miracle that you came back to life." Hey, don't move your eyes—"

Pressing Shen Xingye's right hand, which could only move, Shen Dongren helped him loosen the gauze on his eyes.

"The doctor said that the transplant was a success, and it was almost visible after a month. How's it going, do you feel the light?"

"Hmm. Shen Xingye blinked his eyes vigorously, and suddenly felt that something special in his chest was soaring, "These eyes, it's-"

"Qi Siwen's. ”

"Hmm......" Shen Xingye gently grabbed the sheet with one hand and bit his lip, "Third uncle, where is Zhao Anyue?"

"I didn't find it. But ......"

"Tell me, I'm ready. Shen Xingye replied calmly.

It has been confirmed that the female corpse found in the villa that day was Du Xueqi. The coat on her body and the shoes on her feet are Zhao Anyue's. But Zhao Anyue was never found. But the police found traces of blood and footprints on the edge of the waterfall, which were identified as Zhao Anyue's. If there was no miracle, she should have been forced down by Bai Luoya......"

Shen Xingye bit his lip, biting a touch of blood and gradually leaking out: "Then, what about the remains...... Didn't you find it?"

"Nope. Nearby is a suburban village, and missing person notices are posted everywhere, but there is no news at all. The villagers said that the waterfall leads to the Taizi River, and if it really rushes down, there will be basically no ......."

"I see. Shen Xingye bowed, "What ......does the police mean?"

"It's considered dead. ”

Shen Xingye was silent for a few seconds, and then said slowly: "Third uncle, I'm fine." Go back and rest. ”

"It's okay, you've been in a coma for half a month, and I'm not bad for a while-"

"You've always ...... Stay here with me?"

"Yes, I don't care who else care......s about you?" There were only the two of us left. You are my only relative......"

"What about Xiaoqian and Xiaoyin?"

Xiao Qian was still unconscious. Xiaoyin was hit hard and has been depressed, so I asked someone to send him abroad. Your mother ......"

Shen Xingye slowly turned his head, avoiding the sun.

"My mom killed herself, didn't she?"

"Hmm. ”

"yes. Shen Xingye pondered quietly for a while, feeling that his body was still too weak, so he leaned down, little by little, "Third uncle, I'm a little thirsty." ”

"Hey, I'll pour you some water. ”

Shen Dongren stood up and prepared to walk out the door-

"Third uncle!"

Hearing Shen Xingye shouting at him behind him, Shen Dongren suddenly stopped: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, how did my mother die. Didn't she commit suicide once, attempted, and was taken to medical parole?"

"Oh, while the guards weren't looking, I blew air into the infusion syringe. ”

"Third Uncle......" Shen Xingye took a heavy breath, only to feel that the pain in his chest was almost rushing out of his eyes.

"Anything else?" Shen Dongren's mobile phone rang, he glanced at the caller card, and didn't answer it immediately.

"It's nothing, I just want to sigh. Shen Xingye said slowly, "You are really, a ...... I don't want to stay. ”

A dark cloud overshadowed the sun, and the ward suddenly darkened.

Shen Dongren was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "I'll answer the phone, the company's business." Oh, and let the nurse pour it for you. You may not dare to drink what I brought it, do you?"

As he spoke, he pressed the phone as he walked out the door.

There were some instructions from him in the corridor, and between the strategies, how could he still be like the prince of An Le who didn't ask about political affairs?

Shen Xingye licked his chapped lips and turned his face to look out the window.

The clouds drifted away quickly, and the sun could not be hidden.

Ann......

If there is no you, what is the meaning of thousands of rivers and mountains in this world?

If there is no you, that dark cloud will always be in my eyes, and in my heart, what regrets do I have?

***

Twenty days later, Shen Xingye's eyes were removed.

But everything in the world seemed to him to be an unattractive existence, and he just wanted to see Zhao Anyue's photos.

Fang Yun said that Zhao Anyue really rarely takes selfies, and rarely shows her face in her circle of friends, most of the time she is selling the house.

In the end, I could only find a two-inch photo on the employee's ID, which was taken when she first worked.

Rustic hair, cheap overalls, clear eyes, and white skin. There is a kind of childish shyness in his expression, and he doesn't look like the kind of lady who is from a good background.

"This is a very early photo, and it was not a good shot. Fang Yun wiped her tears and said, "We are An'an beautiful, we are definitely heartthrobs if we dress up well......"

Shen Xingye didn't say anything, just stared at the document for a long time.

Later, Fang Yun seemed to remember something, and quickly flipped through her phone: "This and this, I have a clear one here." It was more than two years ago, at the celebration party at the end of the first phase of the Thammet Scene, you stood in front with Director Bai at that time and presented awards to outstanding employees. An An is the third in this row. ”

Shen Xingye snatched the phone and enlarged it with his hand that had not yet removed the plaster.

The celebration of that day, he remembers.

Bai Luoya in the center of the stage is so high-spirited, so confident and elegant. Even herself, who was standing beside her, was like a foil like a green leaf.

The ten best employees stood in the back, everyone's eyes on the camera – just the girl's, and the whole thing was on him.

On her delicate face, her eyebrows and eyes were like waves. Shy love and appreciation, in the moment when you can't speak, love can also run out of your eyes.

At that moment, Shen Xingye suddenly lost control and cried loudly. Tears poured out from her eyes, and a terrifying amount of blood oozed from her unhealed eyes.

"Why! Why can't I be nicer to her...... Why couldn't I have seen her earlier? Why did I swear such a poisonous oath, why did I curse to never see each other......! Where is she, where is she? I don't believe she's dead, she's not dead, are you? Fang Yun! Did you hide her? I promised you that I would never bully her again, I beg you to give her back to me!"

Mottled and filthy blood and tears were intertwined, at that moment, Fang Yun was scared half to death, so she had to hug him helplessly-

"Shen Xingye, don't be like this! An Anshe ...... Never regretted it, Shen Xingye. She said that in this life, she can love you with all her fate and persistence, and she has no regrets......"

***

Two months later, Shen Xingye recovered from his injuries and was discharged from the hospital.

He went to the children's hospital to find the girl, named Twinkle, and the doctor said that luckily she had finally found a volunteer who matched her kidney.

The family had to come forward for surgery.

Shen Xingye signed without hesitation, and then through the glass of the intensive care unit, he saw this girl with his own eyes for the first time.

There is a kind of constant bond called blood, Shen Xingye thought.

No matter how dramatic her arrival was, no matter what kind of person her mother was, her life deserved to be treated well.

He remembered that he had said to Zhao Anyue that he would give him back a child and give him a life.

Now, she has done it all, but she can no longer return his original state of mind.

How did she do it, let herself fall into a trap step by step, and love herself to the point where she couldn't extricate herself?

To be honest, she wasn't as good-looking as she thought she was.

The skin is very white, but a bit oligophobic and sickly. The eyes are big, but they are not as charming as Bai Luoya.

If he is given another chance, the man's superficial visual stimulation will determine that he will still not be able to pick her out of the crowd and fall in love with her.

He thought, this is probably the difference between himself and Qi Siwen.

At least, the sharp man can peel off the skin and pick out the soul at once.

Shen Xingye also looked at Qi Siwen's photo, to be honest, he still looked a little similar to himself.

It's just that there is too much hypocritical tenderness hidden in those eyes, which makes him look less real and open.

Sometimes Shen Xingye would look into his eyes in the mirror, occasionally feeling warm, occasionally feeling dangerous.

Shen Xingye took out the book "Strange Defeat" from his desk, and after several tosses, the book finally returned to his hand.

Opening the mezzanine of the spine, he was stunned.

Early Monday morning, it was the press conference of the new share issuance of the Shen Group.

The new chairman, Shen Dongren, was not in a hurry to set off.

At this time, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, staring at the traffic downstairs, and there was a calm calculation hidden in his deep-water eyes.

"Mr. Shen, the car is already waiting. ”

"Don't worry, I still have someone to see. ”

Seeing Shen Xingye's figure finally appear downstairs, the corners of Shen Dongren's lips hooked up with a smile.

"Third uncle, I'm here to sign the agreement. ”

Shen Xingye walked in and sat down opposite Shen Dongren generously.

"Hoshino, are your eyes still adjusting?"

Facing Shen Dongren's concern, Shen Xingye smiled and nodded: "It's okay, occasionally it will be a little sore, and the doctor said to pay attention to the scale of your eyes, so I think it's better to take a back seat for the time being." The company's affairs, let Ling Jue help me find a professional manager to deal with. ”

"Well, the body is the most important thing, you are still young, and there are opportunities to make money. Unlike the third uncle, he still has to be entangled in mundane things when he is old. ”

"Third uncle, don't talk about it, just give me the documents. I don't even have the strength to do it now, let alone Shen. For these few shares in his hand, the third uncle will give a price casually. ”

"Hey, I didn't want to let you go in such a hurry. You see, I haven't been at the mall in years, so I thought you'd come and help me—"

"Third uncle. ”

Shen Xingye picked up the signature pen in his hand and raised his eyes to interrupt him.

"Hehe, don't say it. ”

Shen Xingye signed the share transfer agreement, and then threw the documents to Shen Dongren casually: "This part is the part I left in the Shen family before, the part in my grandfather's will, because An An and the child are gone, there is no way to cash it." According to the fair documents given by the lawyer, it will be donated unconditionally to the Angel Welfare Foundation. I think this should be considered a merit. ”

"What I said is that if An An has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely be very pleased. ”

"Really, right?" Shen Xingye smiled slightly, "Third Uncle, you said that if people really have souls, will An An recognize the third aunt in heaven?"

"I hope that your third aunt is also a hard worker. Shen Dongren sighed slightly, his eyes were slightly sad, "If I can recognize mother and daughter earlier, maybe I will have fewer regrets." ”

"So, will they say some truths that are beyond our knowledge? For example, the third aunt will tell An An, and An An will give me a dream again-"

"Haha, how can it be? If people really have souls—"

"Yes, if a person really has a soul, she should go directly to you. ”

Shen Xingye tapped lightly on the table with one hand, the expression on his face was calm and serious.

"Hoshino, is this funny? You're not a kid anymore. ”

Shen Dongren restrained the sadness and gentleness in his eyes.

"Third uncle, what do you think...... Is it really worth it all? Watching the people of the Shen family collapse one by one, watching this battle soaked in countless blood. Do you really think that's what you want?"

Shen Xingye stared at the man in front of him, who had been regarded by him as the most gentle elder and the most respected relative.

It's a pity that all the truth and falsehood in this world are just a layer of belly.

"What is worth it or not, there is only a choice and no choice. Shen Dongren said slowly.
