19. The Long Night
Hanging up the phone, the coach hurriedly approached Haiyin's side and persuaded: "Don't worry, I will find a way to book the earliest flight tomorrow." β
Hein leaned against the wall, pale blonde hair hanging in front of him. He put away his phone and whispered, "No need, I'll ask someone to transfer the private jet." β
After hesitating for a moment, the coach raised his hand, hesitated, and gently landed on Haiyin's shoulder and pressed it hard. Turning around and striding out, the coach told them, "I'm going to call a car, pack my things and go to the airport." β
The championship trophy was placed next to the sports backpack and no one cared about it. The shadow of the lonely man fell at Hein's feet, and his whole person was shrouded in a lonely aura, silent and cold.
Rubbing his eyes, Jian Fan walked over and grabbed his hand: "Hein, I understand what it feels like." β
"Really?" As if a lifetime had passed, Hai Yin's gaze focused slowly, and she raised her head to look at Jian Fan. His dark green pupils hid pain, and his expression was fragile and confused, heartbreaking.
He didn't look like the excitement or pride of the world's No. 1 figure skater, but rather like a lost kid who had just lost his most important treasure.
Sensing his fingers trembling and twitching unconsciously, Jian Fan held them tightly, as if the action of GuΓ² could transmit her body temperature to him, all the way to the bottom of his heart.
ββ¦β¦ I still remember the day when Jian Chu and her mother's bad news came. Jian Fan's voice sounded like it was coming from far away, and she recalled with difficulty and calm, "It was foggy in the town that day. When I went out, I looked at the foothills that looked like the spine of a sleeping dragon, shrouded in a veil-like mist, and looked sparkling and very beautiful. Jian Chu took the fourth place, although she lost to Tina, but her voice on the phone sounded so happy, I could imagine her bright smile on the other end of the phone. β
Hein moved uneasily.
Jian Fan smiled and said disapprerovitically: "Dad called me downstairs, he started preparing in the afternoon, and made a large table of dishes by himself, all of which are Jian Chu's favorite food." He also called a lot of people who lived nearby, including your parents, and the Mick family. He secretly prepared a surprise party for Jian Chu, inviting the elders, classmates, and friends who had watched her grow up since she was a child, to celebrate her good results in the new season. I answered and was going downstairs. On the other side of the phone, there was a long, screeching sound of brakes. β
"I heard Jian Chu's frightened screams, and my mother's crying pleading. And then...... Bang! β
"Dad was completely broken from that day, and he didn't believe it was true. I don't believe it either, Jian Chu...... And the mother...... How could they die? This must be a prank by Jian Chu colluding with a good mother to scare us. She always likes to scare me, and then laugh, so that people can't really be angry with her......" Jian Fan said quietly with a soft and sad smile, "I don't care that my parents have devoted more care and companionship to Jian Chu since I was a child, I just hope that my family will live well." I don't want to stay for a minute without their place. A person really ...... It's too cold. β
"Shhhhh Hein felt sad for a while, pressed the back of her head into her arms, and tightened her arms hard.
Tears soaked his pale blue silk shirt, burning Hein's soul with a hot scorch.
Gently pushing him, Jian Fan raised his head and muttered with tears in his eyes: "I'm fine, it's all over." Hein, I've always been stupid, I don't know how to comfort you, I really want to tell you, Auntie, she has her own natural appearance, she must be fine. But I ...... I can't tell. β
Silly, no heart, a intestine to the bottom, but why is it so cute to be honest?
It's so cute that it hurts him.
Hein didn't say anything, just hugged her harder.
This night is destined to be long.
Jian Fan couldn't fall asleep all night, and when he closed his eyes, all he shook was smiling, angry, and frightened Jian Chu and his mother. Their translucent shadows hovered over her world, bringing with them never-ending nightmares and restlessness.
The visor was pulled open, and the faint light of the sky shone in through the clouds.
Hai Yin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the melancholy in his eyes was unobstructed, he noticed Jian Fan's gaze, pulled down the visor and leaned over to kiss her.
"Stay with me."
They intertwined their fingers, and Jian Fan looked down at him and answered him with a serious nod.
After that, a lot of things happened, Jian Fan was completely dazed, like an outsider, who mistakenly broke into a scene that did not belong to her, and the joys and sorrows of playing and singing were all very far away from her.
Then, with a bang, the layer of frosted glass that separated her from the outside world was shattered.
Jian Fan was excited, and supported the crumbling Hai Yin with his backhand, he stumbled a little, his eyes were red and he stared at the group in front of him.
"You ...... You ......" Hein's eyes were split, and he was trembling with anger, and his eyes didn't look like a human anymore, as if he would pounce on each other and bite each other at any time.
"My mother's life and death are still unknown, so you let your little love child take an illegitimate child who came out of nowhere, enter the house, sleep in the bed that my mother slept in, and use the things my mother used? Why is she, ah? She's just a! It was, it is, and it will be! As long as I'm alive, I'm not going to allow her to stand on the ground where my mother stoodβget out of here, get out of here!" β
Probably because Hai Yin's appearance was too scary, the slender little boy who looked like he was just four or five years old cried, and his mother, that is, Hei Yin's father, who didn't know how many lovers, hugged her son, and the expression on her face was both embarrassed and empty.
"Nonsense! What are you talking about, don't let outsiders see the excitement! You can't live in this house for a few days a year, and their mother and son have nowhere to go, so what's wrong with letting them stay for a few days? β
Hein's father lowered his voice and scolded a few words, and behind him were the investigators shuttling in and out, and a middle-aged man in a suit strode towards them.
"Hello, I'm the special agent in charge of investigating this case, and I have a few questions for you, Mr. Prince."
Jian Fan used a lot of strength to hold Hai Yin to death, and didn't let him rush up, she begged: "Hai Yin, Hai Yin, don't bother with them, let's go talk to the detectives, okay?" Maybe there was a new development in the search and rescue efforts in the hours before we landed? β
Distracted, Hai Yin barely suppressed her anger and walked with Jian Fan to the agent by the living room window.
Soon, Jian Fan regretted his suggestion.
She could see it clearly, the faint burning hope in Haiyin's eyes, struggling to beat a few times, and gradually dimmed and extinguished.
The detectives told them that it was difficult to make substantial progress in the search and rescue work: "...... It is the steepest cliff of the coastal road, which has always been an accident-prone section. Mrs. Prince was not the first to break through the railing and fall off a cliff, nor would she be the last. He scratched his head in annoyance and turned his gaze to the side, "By the way, I remember you." β
Jian Fan suddenly became nervous.
"You are, you are the child of that Chinese family! Let me think about it...... By the way, your last name is Jane. The agent looked at Jian Fan and said with a strange expression: "Is this a coincidence?" Mrs. Prince fell off the cliff where your mother drove your sister off the road. β
Jian Fan: "!! β
The hand was clenched hard, and Jian Fan turned his head to look at Hai Yin in a daze.
"We found the dashcam and the Ferrari had a black box on it. If the forensic personnel did not find anything unusual from it, judging from the traces of the tires, it was impossible to survive if it rushed off the road at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour without any deceleration. β
After saying the results of the investigation with a heavy expression, the agent sighed, patted Hein on the shoulder, and got up to leave.
Trembling, Jian Fan swallowed what she wanted to say after seeing Hai Yin's expression, her throat was so dry that the voice she made didn't seem like her own.
"Hai, Haiyin, I'm hungry, are you hungry?"
β¦β¦
Hein didn't stay long in the house in the middle of the mountain, he took Jian Fan to the Cadillac waiting outside the door, and he didn't say anything on the way back to the apartment in the city.
Is he angry? It must be yes, the Great Demon King has been close to Mrs. Prince since he was a child, and his incomparably beautiful face is inherited from his mother's excellent genes. Jian Fan remembered the elegant and sexy Mrs. Prince in her memory, and felt sad in her heart.
Why did such a good person go all of a sudden?
Looking at her flat mouth and frowning expression, Hai Yin sighed in her heart, probably arousing her sadness again. He touched her head: "One euro to buy what you're thinking." β
Hearing the money, Jian Fan's eyes immediately lit up, and he said without thinking: "That highway must have been cursed, I think we should remind Mr. Detective, find out who presided over the construction of the highway, maybe it is an opponent of a certain councilor or mayor......"
Hai Yin smiled helplessly and patted her on the head: "Stupid." You must not have paid attention to the lectures when you were in middle school, but according to records, the history of the road has been more than 100 years, and every mayor has since raised donations from citizens to maintain and expand the road. β
Sure enough, he was stupid again. However, Jian Fan was still very happy, because the corners of Haiyin's mouth were no longer tense and drooping, and his face was a little more rejuvenated, and he no longer looked like a statue of the living dead.
But, wait a minute!
Why did Hein take out all the wine in the wine cabinet as soon as he entered the house? HeβHe also turned the beer in the fridge upside down. Then Haiyin, who is usually very aristocratic, sat down on the floor, uncorked the bottle and drank the wine.
Jian Fan was dumbfounded, and with a flower in front of her, she was dragged in front of her by Hai Yin and pressed her shoulders to prevent her from escaping.
Her beautiful dark green eyes flashed with a plea that Jian Fan couldn't refuse.
"Here, drink with me." Hein stuffed a bottle of wine.
Looking down at the label of Mouton Winery, Jian Fan's face was wrinkled and he looked for a corkscrew.
Forget it, he needed to vent, so she simply let it go out and simply accompany him to have a drink.
The silent Hai Yin poured the wine bottle by himself, looking at the posture, as if he wanted to drown himself in the alcohol.
Jian Fan was worried, and occasionally took a sip.
I don't know how long later, in the suppressed silence, Hai Yin's heavy gasp that was almost choked sounded: "...... I don't have a mother, Xiao Fan, my mother is dead! β
