Chapter Twenty-Three: Breaking Free on the Edge of Life and Death

After the housekeeper left, I put the car keys in a prominent place on the coffee table. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's strange that my mother doesn't pay attention these days, as if she knows who sent the car. I thought my mother would be furious when she saw the car keys or ask me about it, but unfortunately, she was willing to do it, and her unusual calmness made me not know what to do.

Maybe the car at the door was too eye-catching, and it attracted wanton speculation from neighbors left and right. If gossip has been passed on for a long time, you don't have to listen to it deliberately, and it will also reach your ears.

One day, the wind was biting, and the snow that melted on the eaves of the house froze into ice picks after the baptism of the winter night. Just like this season, my mother just came back from outside, she yelled at me in the north wind, and when she got home, she went straight to the coffee table, picked up the car keys and threw them at me, very impatient: "Arnold, you give this back to him, and tell him by the way, we don't need his pity!" ”

Needless to say, my mother, like me, began to be bothered by these gossip. Knowing that she was already angry, I still pretended to be confused and asked, "Who do you give it back to?" ”

"Whoever gives it to you, you give it back. Everything in the house, including all the things in the house, was returned to him. Sure enough, she knew exactly where the gifts came from.

I took a deep breath and tried to uncover my mother's long-scabbed scar: "What the hell is going on between you and the housekeeper, why do you hate him so much." ”

"Don't ask, I will never forgive him for the rest of my life." How frightening my mother's words were, her eyes were full of hatred, without the slightest emotion, this resentment had taken root in her heart, and it was not so easy to pull out.

"The butler told me that you had been friends for many years......"

Before I finished speaking, as if touching my mother's sensitive nerves, she grabbed my arm hard: "What did he say to you?" What else did he say to you? Why would he bother with my life? Why? Why? ”

I immediately hugged her, pressed her to her wrinkled cheeks, and comforted: "The housekeeper didn't say anything to me, just said that you have been friends for many years, and that's all." ”

The old mother made a hoarse voice and admonished, "Arno, you are obedient and help him return all the things, okay?" ”

It was heart-wrenching to hear her pleading voice. If I had insisted on not accepting the housekeeper's key, maybe I wouldn't have the bitterness I have today, and I really shouldn't have deliberately hurt my only relative in order to satisfy my curiosity.

I put all the gifts I received in the past few days in my bag, and drove my new car to Long Shao's house. I knew that this was a fluke, and I decided that going to Long Shao's house at this time would not make Manni aware in the slightest. But along the way, I was in front of the shadow of Manni holding her mobile phone and laughing in front of me, and it seemed that I could only drive the car to Long Shao's door and leave quickly.

After a while, Long Shao's family arrived.

After getting out of the car, facing such a quiet mansion, I really wanted to know what Long Shao was doing. Is it quietly reading a book, listening to music leisurely, sipping a fine wine, or dancing a waltz gracefully with Manni......

As I was about to turn around and leave with a melancholy look on my face, I suddenly heard someone calling me from behind. When I looked back, it turned out to be the housekeeper.

I pointed to the new car and explained, "As you expected, my mother won't accept it, and I've sent you all these gifts." ”

"What the hell am I going to do for her to forgive me?"

"What the hell happened between you and her? Why does she hate you? ”

"Miss Arnold, don't ask, let your mother tell you."

The more they kept their mouths shut, the more I wanted to know the secrets behind them, so I threatened the housekeeper: "If you don't tell me again, then I'll go to Long Shao and tell him everything you've been doing these days." ”

The housekeeper was anxious: "No! You can't tell the young master. If you don't want to hurt him......"

"I don't understand, why did I hurt Long Shao?"

"Miss Arnold, I beg you! Don't ask, I won't say anything, if you want to know something, just ask your mother. With that, the butler wanted to turn and leave.

Standing in this cold wind, I glared at the butler: "Stop! If you don't tell me, I'll go to Long Shao right now. "I secretly decided in my heart that I must force the housekeeper to tell the reason today, otherwise I will not give up, and I will be used as a microphone between them, and I will endure it to the limit.

The housekeeper is still testing me, thinking that I really dare not go to Long Shao? When I did what I said and quickened my pace in front of the butler, I heard the butler's voice of surrender wafting in the air: "We are husband and wife. ”

I was stunned at first, then slowly turned around, the corners of my mouth twitched, and said with a sneer: "Husband and wife? I began to laugh uncontrollably, and the laughter was like a ghost crying wolf, and it frightened the butler.

So, I was furious, the restless air flow in my body began to go up and down, and the cold wind suddenly roared: "You lie to me, how can you be my father?" ”

It's really a trick to make people, why do I have to bear so many things that I am willing to do. I often reverie the scene of my future self and my father's first encounter, that kind of warm and touching picture has been rehearsed countless times in my mind, but I never thought that this person was actually you, and it was actually Long Shao's housekeeper?

"It's true that your mother and I are husband and wife, but I'm not ......"

I resolutely interrupted the butler, "Don't say it, you're all liars, liars. At this moment, his voice became extremely harsh, and it stirred my head like it exploded, and it hurt a lot. I don't want to hear anything he says, but leaving with tears in my eyes is a temporary relief.

As I walked down this silent street, I suddenly felt something quietly fall from the distant sky and land lightly on my face. When I looked up, it had finally come in anticipation, slowly wrapping the street in a world of silver.

I tilted my head and let the snowflakes fall on my face, freezing all my tears.

I don't understand why everyone is lying to me, even Long Shao's move to get close to me was premeditated. And that man, why did you leave me and my mother in the first place, is it really more tempting to be Long Shao's housekeeper than her husband and father's identity?

The sky was grey and dark, and the cracking of branches was everywhere, and the wind mixed with the roar of rage seemed to devour me, and I went against the wind, and this time I would not compromise anyone, including myself.

I dragged my walking corpse body to the roof of the school building, because now for me, it is vast and empty, and only the place where I breathe can unconditionally accommodate me.

I sat down on the edge and saw as if the sky and the earth were connected to each other. I don't know how long it took me to hear the sound of creaking snow behind me.

At that time, I didn't look back, because the only person who could appear at this time was the butler, and I knew that I was crying and leaving, and he would definitely not be reassured.

Just when I thought everything was in my hopes, a deep voice made me feel discouraged.

I stood up and faced Long Shao with a sneer: "Why are you here?" What about the man? Why, he was timid, scared, thinking that if he didn't dare to face it, he could do nothing? I took a step back, stood on the edge and muttered to myself, "He's just a stranger to us." ”

"The housekeeper told me that I know it's hard for you to accept this kind of thing now, but I'm actually surprised too."

I smiled disdainfully, "Are you surprised? Didn't you already know that something like this would happen? You are all liars. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying. The housekeeper saw you leave very sadly, and then told me that he and your mother were husband and wife, and he asked me to come and see you, and the stranger you shouted was actually very worried about you. ”

"Don't lie to me, you are so high, we are basically people from two worlds, why lie to me, why provoke me." I cried, and I no longer had to care about anyone's feelings, but the tears that should have been welling up a long time ago have been released until now.

Hearing my miserable cry, Long Shao took a step forward.

"Stop, I won't let you come near me."

"Don't get excited, I really didn't lie to you, I did just find out. Also, have you forgotten the secret between us? Long Shao took another step forward and explained with his gentleness: "We are not ordinary people, we have super energy, we fly together, how can we not be in the same world." ”

Taking advantage of my lack of attention, Long Shao suddenly took a step forward and hugged me, but seeing his extreme actions, I kept struggling to push him away. No matter how much I can break free of his hands, I can't break free. At that time, I didn't realize that I was on the verge of life and death, and I blindly pushed him away.

While struggling, my hand slapped him hatefully, and my right foot suddenly slipped again, and suddenly my body fell instantly, Long Shao held my hand tightly, and my body hung in the air, like snowflakes drifting, and my body was slowly falling.

"Arno, don't let go." It was not only his heavy voice that trembled, but also the arm that was clutching me.

I cried and nodded.

"Trust me, I never wanted to leave you."

"I beg you, don't say any more."

When I looked at Long Shao's frowns, I knew that if I didn't let go, maybe I was not the only one in danger. At this life-and-death juncture, I tried my best to break free of Long Shao's hands again.

At this time, Long Shao was anxious: "Arno, what are you going to do, I won't allow you to do this." ”

"Long Shao, let's see you in our dreams." After saying that, my hand finally broke free of Long Shao's hand, and my body quickly slipped off, in my vertical direction I didn't see Long Shao's heart-rending cry, what I saw was Long Shao's jump.

When I gradually lost consciousness, I was tightly held in Long Shao's arms by his heavy hands...... When I reached out to touch his tightly knit brow with my eyes half-open, I found that the power of instinct had been stolen.
