I asked a question I'd always wanted to ask, and even though the answer was clear to me a long time ago, I still didn't give up, and I wanted to ask it again.

I was reluctant to blink my eyes, staring at Shen Boteng, I thought that he would give me a cold answer to this question very decisively as before, but this time he didn't, didn't speak, didn't make any movements, just quietly stared at me.

I looked at him anxiously, I grabbed his collar with both hands, and couldn't wait to ask again: "You sue me, have you ever loved me?" Even if it's for a moment. ”

Shen Boteng raised his hand and patted me lightly on the back twice, and he said, "Okay, let's not ask this question again." ”

He's running away, he's just running away, how can this make me willing.

I grabbed his collar hand tighter and tighter, shook my head and refused to give up and said: "No, I'm going to talk about this, I know that this time I don't have any chance to return to China, this time as soon as I leave, it means that we will never see each other again in this life, the world is separated, I don't have much pursuit, I don't have high requirements for you, you know my heart knot, where my obsession is, I just want to give myself a result, whether the result is good or bad, I can bear it, I can accept it." ”

I saw that Shen Boteng didn't move, just looked at me quietly, and I asked again: "You sue me, is it okay for you to sue me?" Just this once. I quickly released my hand from his neckline, grabbed the hand he put at his side and put it on his heart, and said, "I want you to answer this question from the bottom of your heart." ”

Shen Boteng held me with his backhand and said, "Is it really that important?" ”

I said, "Of course, it's important, it's very important. ”

Shen Boteng looked at me for a long time, and finally his eyes left my face, he raised his face to look out the window at the heavy rain that was still falling one after another, and he said, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier." ”

Obviously, as soon as he said this, it meant that he did not want to answer the question, or even avoided it.

Suddenly, I felt inexplicably relieved, and I didn't have the courage to continue asking. That's fine, at least he didn't warn me as coldly as before, this time he just avoided silence, the answer was not obvious, the situation was much better than the last time.

I was in no mood to ask any more, and after getting up from his arms, I said to Shen Boteng, "Can you take me to another place." ”

Shen Boteng asked, "Where is it?" ”

I looked at him and said, "The villa we lived in together has been a long time, and I suddenly want to go and see it, and I don't know what has become of it." ”

Shen Boteng said: "What is there to see. ”

I stubbornly said, "I want to go." ”

Shen Boteng was silent for a while, he glanced at the time on his wrist, and then at the heavy rain outside, and he finally said to the driver to turn around at the intersection in front of him and go to Jinxiu Road.

After that, none of us spoke, the driver turned the car around, the car was speeding in the heavy rain, about ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a villa, Shen Boteng saw me sitting at the window and watching, he reminded me: "Why is it here, but it doesn't move." ”

I said, "I suddenly remembered the time when the two of us lived here more than a year ago. ”

Shen Boteng said: "Well, it feels like a long time. ”

The driver was waiting outside with a black umbrella, Shen Boteng was about to get out of the car, his mobile phone rang, about Zhou Jiwen's call, when Shen Boteng was about to answer, I pressed his hand, he raised his eyes and looked at me with some surprise, I asked him: "Is it Yuan Zi." ”

Shen Boteng said: "Not really. ”

I said, "Don't pick it up." ”

Shen Boteng looked at me indifferently, he saw that there was a begging in my eyes, and he whispered, "Let's go." ”

He threw aside the vibrating mobile phone in his hand, led me out of the car, and took the big black umbrella in the driver's hand, because the rain was too much, and when Shen Boteng protected me in his arms, his left shoulder was inevitably wet by the heavy rain.

After the two of us arrived at the villa, the servant greeted him, and when he saw me and Shen Boteng appearing here at the same time, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and that hint of surprise was about that we hadn't been here for a long time, and we hadn't been here at the same time for too long.

Shen Boteng handed the black umbrella to the servant, he glanced at the rain on my hair, and then ordered the servant to bring two clean towels, and the servant immediately said yes, turned around and walked upstairs.

Nothing has changed here, it is still the same as before, the furniture has not changed a bit, the servant is also the former servant, I looked around the house, the servant came down with a dry towel, and handed it to Shen Boteng, with a happy look on his face and said: "Miss Liang and Mr. have not been back for a long time, I thought you two would never come here again." ”

Shen Boteng took the towel, as if he had seen something familiar, and he was in a good mood, and he also replied to the servant and said, "It's true that I haven't been back for a long time." He looked at me and said, "She wants to come, so she made a special trip here today." ”

After Shen Boteng finished saying this, he said to me: "Come here." ”

I turned to look at him and walked slowly towards him, he took a clean towel in his hand and wiped my hair with raindrops, and after a few wipes, he smiled and said, "Wipe it yourself." ”

The servant looked at me and Shen Boteng from the side, sighed a little happily and said, "It is really emotional and gratifying to see that Mr. and Miss Liang are still in the same relationship as they were at the beginning. ”

The servant who said this was an old woman of sixty or seventy years old, who had been in this mansion for almost a decade or two, and she had been staying here since Shen Boteng bought this property, probably far away from the Shen family, so what happened to me and Shen Boteng, she didn't know, she thought that we were still the same as before, nothing had changed.

I didn't speak, and Shen Boteng didn't poke it, but glanced at me who was holding a towel and wiping my hair absentmindedly, and said, "Wipe it well." ”

I realized that I was distracted, so I sorted out my mood, continued to wipe my hair, and after so-so wiping it off, I handed the towel to the servant and said, "I'll go upstairs and have a look." ”

I walked quickly towards the second floor, and Shen Boteng didn't stop me, but said behind me, "We still have twenty minutes to go." ”

Without looking back, I said, "I see." ”

Shen Boteng saw my back running in a hurry, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, and he also handed the towel in his hand to the servant and said, "I need a cup of coffee." He thought for a moment and added, "Plus a cup of warm liuding." ”

The servant smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare." ”

Shen Boteng did not go upstairs, but sat downstairs waiting for me, his eyes fell on a few magazines on the table, all of which were magazines that women liked, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a copy, and when he turned it in his hand at will, he turned it to the middle and turned out a dead leaf sandwiched in the middle of the page, when he was looking carefully, the servant came out with coffee and Liu Ding, and said with a smile: "Does Mr. remember this leaf?" ”

Shen Boteng looked at it for a long time, and he said lightly: "I remember." ”

The servant put the tray in her hand on the table, and she said, "At that time, it was the season when the leaves of the sycamore were falling, and you were sitting in the courtyard looking at the text, and this fallen leaf happened to fall on you. On the day she left here, she casually sandwiched this fallen leaf in the book, but she didn't expect that after so long of things, this sycamore leaf was still there. ”

When the servant mentioned it, the corners of Shen Boteng's mouth hooked up a faint smile and said, "At that time, she said that this leaf was like a heart. Shen Boteng looked carefully at the shape of the leaves and said: "However, I don't think it looks like it, it's ordinary, there's nothing special, but she clamored that I don't understand art, and said that I want to collect it." ”

When the servant saw Shen Boteng recalling the past, he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it turns out that you still remember." ”

Shen Boteng put the leaf back into the magazine, put it on the coffee table casually, took the coffee from the servant's hand, and he didn't speak again.

The servant didn't dare to say anything, and after glancing at him with a smile, he went to the kitchen to prepare fruits and desserts, and when the servant prepared the things and came out, the coffee in Shen Boteng's hand was also drunk, and he waited and waited, and when he saw that I hadn't come down from upstairs, he raised his hand and glanced at the time on his wrist.

The servant saw what he was thinking, put the things in his hand on the table, and asked with a smile, "Sir, do you need me to go up and call Miss Liang down?" ”

Shen Boteng said no, then he got up from the sofa and walked upstairs, he came to the bedroom of the two of us before, when he pushed the door open, there was no one inside, he stood there and watched for a second, did not go in, but turned around and walked towards the other room, and when he stretched out his hand to push open the second door, there was still no one inside.

Shen Boteng's brows furrowed slightly, and he continued to walk towards the third room, he did not continue to push the door, but stood there for a long time, and then called my name to the door, but it was quiet.

Shen Boteng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he called my name again, but there was no response, he said, "Don't catch and hide with me, it's time to go." ”

After he said this, he opened the last door, and in this door he finally saw me in the room, and saw that I was sitting on the bed looking out the window in a daze, Shen Boteng's frowning brows relaxed slightly.

He whispered, "I just called you, why didn't you answer." ”

I didn't answer him, still looking out the window in a daze, when Shen Boteng walked into the room, just a few steps, he felt the sound of breathing behind the door, and when he was alert, a knife with a cold light was placed on his neck.

Shen Boteng's body immediately froze.
