Sleeping at home for the first time in a few years, seeing those once familiar furnishings, she also felt a little uncomfortable for a while, the small bookshelf put the romance novels and comic books she used to like to read, the wall was pasted with the posters of the stars she used to admire, the glass on the desk pressed under the photos of her childhood, there were rustles, open the drawer is the stickers of the mobile phone, all kinds of small jewelry, the old beautiful pen holder, the writing brush, the color rubber band, the music tape, a small plastic box, there are lighters, Stone or wooden seals, small bells, large and small dice, in short, all kinds of small objects that look beautiful, trivial and trivial, and so on.

Parents will come every few days to clean up and get rid of the dust, and the room looks clean and tidy. It's just that time has finally marked these things with a faded brand, or maybe it comes from the mood...... She could remember why she had collected them, but those likes at the time, now that she thought about it, it always felt so far away.

Turn on the lights, open the drawers, boxes, open books, philatelic albums, some memories are like shadows, lingering, she sits there, always feels that she can see three children walking around, chasing and fighting scenes, blowing electric fans in summer, lying on the bed reading comics, novels, kicking each other from time to time, and then they scuffle, in winter, three people wrapped in quilts to play poker, there is a song in the tape recorder, and the three people are next to sugar and melon seeds, The girl who looked the most quiet always protested against the other two dropping the melon seed shell on the bed......

She sat there and looked at the room. In the living room, there was the sound of a TV drama and the occasional conversation of parents, and a large box brought back from Vienna rested in the corner of the house, like a landmark object separating the ages. That night. The moonlight poured in through the window lattice, and she couldn't sleep.

When I went to the living room to drink water, the door to the master bedroom also opened, and the mother came out of it and put a finger to her lips at two o'clock in the morning: "Haven't you slept yet?" ”

"It's probably due to jet lag."

"You're taller than me."

"I'm taller than you when I leave, okay?"

"It looked like a girl back then."

Ling Jing smiled and watched her pull the door open, and then the mother and daughter sat down on the sofa in the living room. Speak softly: "Tell me about the past few years in Vienna." ”

"There's nothing to say, practice the piano, read books, go out shopping occasionally, go to the Danube to sit and sit, run in the morning, practice or something." She laughed, "I didn't fall behind any of the boxing techniques my dad taught." ”

"Nothing special, huh?"

"That's a performance in the theater, three days a week, and they give me a chance to play solo. A few minutes of performance...... In fact, it is not a big theater, and it is more private, and it is often visited by some acquaintances. Well, by the way, I played the guitar by the river, I went there for a walk in the evening, I put the box on the ground, and I sat on a chair and sang and sang, and someone threw money into the box, and the Danube is beautiful......"

"Earn a lot?"

"Not a lot. It's enough to eat a good meal, and the people over there are very enthusiastic about music, but in fact, my voice is not very good, but the songs are good. These songs...... Before...... Uh......" She paused, these songs were written by Jia Ming before, and the concept band sang them for nearly a year......

"Teacher Julian at the airport today, taking care of you so much, why don't you invite someone to come over." Seeing that her daughter was reluctant to continue in this direction, Duan Jingxian quietly changed the topic.

"He also has something to do today, and the person who picked him up next to him was someone from the performing arts company, and the hotel was arranged. So rushed today. Our family is not very grand, right, you and Dad will be busy again. ”

"Dare to quibble. If you hadn't mentioned it on the phone before, how could it seem rushed. You said on the phone before that the status of the teacher is so high-level, and it is really good for you to arrange so many things, tomorrow ...... No, I invited someone over for a meal today, and our family would like to thank him. ”

"yes, okay."

After chatting for dozens of minutes about various trivial matters, the mother and daughter both deliberately avoided the most sensitive topics. After breakfast the next morning, Ling Jing went to the hotel to say hello to Julian and the others: "In the evening, go to my house for a meal, my parents have always wanted to formally thank the teacher for taking care of me in the past few years." ”

"When you meet a good student, it's ...... Wouldn't it be too much trouble? ”

"No, then it's decided, I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

The acting companies on both sides have a relationship, and Julian also has strong connections in China, but after all, it is impossible to run back and perform immediately. When Lingjing left, his friend Derby, who followed Julian, said: "It's still the same, if you really see you as a close person, you should have been invited last night, she, ah, always inadvertently shows this kind of personality that rejects people thousands of miles away, but it has been spread all over the conservatory." ^^

"That's the kind of personality that's fascinating, isn't it?" Julian laughed.

"Cheap man......" Derby shook his head and patted him on the shoulder, "you've got to be busy." ”

After leaving the hotel, Lingjing stood on the side of the road, a little confused, not knowing where to go. In the past four years, many things in Jiang Hai have not changed much in her memory, but she has just come back, and there is always a sense of strangeness in the crowd around her, she walked around the roadside, bought a newspaper and held it. In fact, buying newspapers and reading such things is also a very foreign experience, and I didn't pay attention to these things when I lived here before.

In fact, there are places that I have thought about going to before, but when I really want to set off, I suddenly become hesitant, scared, what kind of things to see, what kind of things to accept, and some pictures have been imagining in my mind over and over again for four years. She didn't want to accept the results of her imagination, and she didn't even want to think that there would be other results at the time, but at this time. This feeling of suffering from gains and losses came like a sudden rush of the waves, and after turning around the streets for a long time, she got on the bus and went to the headquarters of the Shazhu Gang.

The door was closed, and no one looked like there was anyone at all. At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was big, and Ling Jing stood at the door and rang the doorbell for a long time, and there was no movement in the originally familiar mansion. She slumped her shoulders. There was some loss in my heart, but also some relaxation. "Maybe it's a different place......" Thinking so, she turned back and went to the other side of the river and sea. Sacred Heart Academy.

It's business as usual. It was the time of summer vacation, the school gate was closed, the big square, just the gilded signboard was renovated once, and the flowers on the square were also changed to a new pattern. Flock to the shops along the square. Originally, when they were in school, Sacred Heart Academy didn't do this kind of tutoring, and it is estimated that the pressure on going to school has been even greater in recent years.

Bypassing the familiar road, the vegetable market that looked like it had been expanded appeared in front of her, the roof was renewed, and the stalls inside became more tidy, at this time, there were not many vendors in the vegetable market, she stood on the side of the road with her handbag for a while, the vegetable market was not far from her home, and she used to come often. It's just that the vendors who were once familiar with them are now gone, or they don't know each other anymore. In a newly renovated storefront next to it, she was selling cold cakes that she used to like to eat, and she bought some and carried them in her hand.

The houses on the side of the road have been newly renovated. Now it was a strange lime white, and when she turned the corner of the road, the most familiar road appeared before her eyes, and the houses on the side of the road were old and new, and in the distance, the video game room came into view, and the new curtain hung on it.

With the sun shining down, she walked over. It's struggling. Finally stopped at the door of the game room and looked at the scene in the game room. It was noon, the business was not very good, the tall and thin boss sat behind the table selling game currency and buried his head in eating, and he was no longer the original person, seeing a beautiful woman standing at the door like this and looking inside, several people who were playing the machine inside looked over. Ling Jing stood for a moment, then turned and walked away, his heels clattering on the newly tiled steps.

There is a new house next to it, and the façade on the first floor is obviously an Internet café. The stairs on the side of the game room were covered with moss, and Ling Jing stood there, his eyes red, remembering a poem he had once learned: The white rabbit is walking around, the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old.

Suddenly, I found that everyone had left, and things were not people, and things were people......

"Miss, do you want help?" A handsome teenager walked out of the playroom, and some hangers asked, Ling Jing looked at him for a few seconds, turned his head and walked up the stairs, his voice was a little hoarse.

"I'll go home ......"

"You live here? There's no one living in here......"

The boy watched her walk up the stairs, and when she took the key from her handbag and reached for it, the keychain snapped and fell to the ground, and the woman squatted on the ground for a long time, and finally stood up again, reaching out to open the door.

With a squeak, she stood in the doorway for a few seconds and walked in.

From four o'clock in the afternoon back home, Ling Jing's spirit was a little trance, with her came with Julian and others, some of these people understand Chinese, but most of them still don't understand, communication is quite difficult, but seeing that the Ye family is opening a martial arts gym, they also found their favorite sports outside, playing sandbags, doing fitness, going to the ring to compete, Ling Jing and her mother washed vegetables in the kitchen, prepared dinner, and later broke a bowl and was kicked out by her mother.

In fact, before coming back, most of the people who thought that they would not be able to find Jiaming when they went to the Sacred Heart, but looking at the moss on the stairs, they still couldn't help but feel sad, and pushed the door in, and the objects in the whole room were covered with white cloths, chairs, coffee tables, beds, large wardrobes, TVs, etc., all covered with white cloths, and dust accumulated on those white cloths, showing that no one had come to live here for a long time.

She lifted the white cloth, everything was still in order, the same as when she left, not much had changed, the garbage was gone, the dishes and chopsticks were cleanly stacked in the kitchen cabinet, the quilt was folded on the bed, and it was still the same bed that covered the floor when she left. It's just that it looks like it's been cleaned, and the only big change is that the contents of the refrigerator have been swept away. It can be seen that Jiaming did everything before leaving.

She sat on the couch for two hours, turning on the TV and watching the rustling of snowflakes inside, not knowing what kind of mood it was, disappointed or lost. This mood still seems to remain, no matter how many people are around, she seems to be in the empty room where people go to the building, and the light shines through the window. Dust wafted in the air, as quiet as the end of the world.

Her mood was not high, Julian and the others could also see that there were not many people who came to disturb for a while, and during dinner time, these people did not encourage Ling Jing to drink and tell stories in Vienna or something, Julian talked enthusiastically with Ye Dad Ye and Ye Ma, and Ling Jing occasionally acted as a translator. After eating, the mother and daughter cleaned up the table, and then Lingjing laughed in the living room and said sorry. Entering the bedroom room and sitting, Julian appeared at the door with a hearty smile.

"I haven't come back for four years, is it very uncomfortable?"

"I'm sorry." Ling Jing smiled reluctantly, "I'm ...... today Not in very good shape. ”

"I understand, not that you have to, but ...... Just wanted to tell you that a lot of people care about you. If you have any questions, you can always come to me, I have always been good at listening. ”

"Thank you."

After saying two sentences, he conveyed his concern. He didn't dwell on it anymore and turned away. After a while, my mother, who had finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, walked in, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her for a long time, and then asked, "What's wrong?" Where did you go today? ”

"Mom......" looked at her mother who was smiling at her, Ling Jing frowned, and after a moment. Finally took a deep breath. "Jiaming and Shasha...... How are they doing now? ”

Duan Jingxian's eyes trembled, turning into a faint tenderness and pity. Reaching out and stroking her daughter's cheek: "I know you're going to ask, it's just ...... You really don't know......"

"They...... What's wrong? ”

"Wait, I'll show you something."

Duan Jingxian left the room, and after a while, she came in with some documents and the like, first handed her the newspaper on it, and took a deep breath: "It's been four years, I still remember that day you happened to come back from a trip, and you called me and your father earlier and said that you decided to go to Vienna, so we have been preparing things for you to go abroad all day, and I don't know some things, and someone only mentioned it to us after two days, Shasha she...... Someone framed her, the gang that your Uncle Liu left behind was arrested by the police, and your father and I also found some connections to inquire about it, but since that day, we haven't seen her again......"

Almost the moment she saw the contents of the newspaper, Ling Jing opened her mouth, feeling that something cold rushed out from the depths of her bone marrow, "High school girls are the biggest drug lords in Jianghai", the front page of the newspaper is such information, there are rustling photos, and I don't know where to take them secretly, the picture is very distorted. She looked at the date of the newspaper, August 5 of the second year, and that afternoon four years ago she came back from Guilin, full of sadness and self-pity, she didn't know anything, she just wanted to leave the city as quickly as possible, and she didn't even think to contact her best friend.

"Sasha is fine, we know she should have gone abroad, I thought she would contact you, but now it doesn't look like it, that kid...... It was Jiaming who helped her escape, as for Jiaming's ......" The moment she mentioned this name, Duan Jingxian's eyes suddenly moistened, slightly flushed, Lingjing looked at her mother's expression, and a bad trembling feeling surged in her heart, her voice was hoarse, and she didn't dare to move: "What's wrong with him?" The whole sentence went out of tune like a distorted tape.

"Quiet you...... You have to promise me that you won't do anything stupid again......"

Night has fallen, the sound of the TV and the laughter of Julian and others can be heard in the living room, the light is warm yellow, under the eaves outside the window, the majestic wind gently shakes the bell, in this small bedroom, she seems to be able to see a door to yesterday, slowly opening in front of her...... At the same time, Hong Kong.

Above the street, a neon glow on a sign that seems to fill the sky, and an eighty percent new BMW sedan weaves through the crowded street. The roadside is full of pedestrians.

Ding Xiong, Mu Qingqing, and the stupid man who sold sugar and fried chestnuts were sitting in the back seat of the cart at this time. Driving in front of him was a police officer from the Serious Crime Unit, surnamed Zheng, nicknamed Xiaopang, and on the passenger seat was a girl dressed in time and wearing thick smoky makeup, which was said to be Officer Zheng's girlfriend, commonly known as Momo. The five of them had already had dinner outside, and at this time they drove to the hotel where Mu Qingqing and the other three lived.

This Officer Zheng is actually not fat. It's just that he grew a baby face, so he got such a kind nickname, his team leader is named Mu Cha, his style and behavior are more blunt, this time in order to prevent the two police officers from the mainland from intervening in the case, specially arranged a police officer as a reception, and strangers have always been more mixed with the little fat naturally became the best candidate, these days to accompany the three of them to play around, because of the familiarity, this afternoon also called out his girlfriend. I went shopping in Mong Kok together, and everyone was happy.

In the morning, Mu Qingqing dragged the man next to him to see a doctor, it is said to be a pretty good brain hospital, who knows that after a little examination, the result is actually similar to Yujiang's, the doctor looked at the scan for a long time, and then said with some uncertainty that he had never seen such a situation, and then prescribed a lot of treatment plans, long-term hospitalization and observation, including various examination methods including brain tissue sections. Mu Qingqing was stunned when she heard this, and she was a little embarrassed.

Pulling the other party to Hong Kong, in fact, there is no plan to do long-term treatment, passport. ID card, all the documents are fake, plus I will return to Jianghai soon, I want to be here for a long time, naturally there is no way to talk about it, but she herself is not ready to deal with such a tricky condition, buy Mark Six lottery has never been hit, how to casually pull someone to the hospital to encounter such a rare case. So all afternoon. She was thinking about it.

To be honest, bringing the other side to Hong Kong can be regarded as an impulse. Because she was very excited to know about going back to Jianghai at that time, she thought that even if she cooked those porridges for him, she should stick a knife in her friend's ribs, but if the matter is really tricky to a certain extent, should she really take all the responsibility for the stranger, but she hasn't thought it through yet.

After all, he only has occasional headaches now, in case his condition really deteriorates, God knows what troublesome things will happen in the future, if he is paralyzed in bed and becomes a vegetative person, if he is half-paralyzed, he is not married, for the sake of a fool, he doesn't need to learn Lei Feng to this extent.

What is the responsibility......

It's been half a year of living together, and occasionally she has some messy emotions, if this person is her husband, she thinks it may not be too bad. Leaving aside the other party's brain problem, as a cohabitant, he is not very noisy, has a regular life, has great strength, is not lazy, has good cooking skills and has absolutely no possibility of cheating, thinking about it, it is quite suitable for his own requirements to find a partner. She can be regarded as an older young woman, every time she thinks of such a thing, she shakes her head and laughs and scolds herself for being a nymphomaniac, hungry and hungry, but now that she thinks about it, if he is her husband, she has the responsibility to cure him, and if she wants to take this responsibility, she will definitely not want to go on a blind date again.

This question is ridiculous to think about, but when it is placed in front of her, it is indeed quite serious, the problem is that it is impossible for her to take such a responsibility for a strange man now, but it is really difficult to throw him away for a while, and live together for half a year, if the other party is a normal person, she will basically not have a burden, but the problem is that this is a patient...... It's really a cocoon......

In such an emotion, the little fat in front of him answered the phone, it seemed that his uncle called, and then looked around in the glove compartment in front of the car, turned out a stack of documents, and said to the people behind him after a while: "Go to a hotel first, send something to my uncle, just on the way." "Of course, the others don't have a big opinion.

Mo Mo next to him said a few words to him, and then turned back with a poster: "Now, Sister Qing, Fang Yusi's concert tour to the Red Pavilion, are you interested?" This girl is quite good at talking to her, and she is also a member of the police force, but she is engaged in computers, and she claims to be a rotten girl, although Xiaopang said that the two are boyfriend and girlfriend, but looking at their relationship, Xiaopang is still pursuing her, and the relationship is still undecided, Mu Qingqing smiled: "I also heard, the next stop is Jianghai, right?" ”

"yes, yes, you're fine, you can listen to it twice in a row, I'm going to kill her." She took the poster and grinded it around her face. With a look of intoxication, "Sister Qing, let's go and see it together tomorrow." ”

Listen to them talk about concerts. Ding Xiong also laughed: "I also like her songs, you can't forget me, but...... Didn't yesterday's news say that the venue was full, and the tickets were long gone? ”

"There is land, there is land, Xiaopang's uncle is a composer, and I heard that he has a very good relationship with many celebrities, he must have a channel to get tickets, right?"

"That's right. It's on me. Chubby smiled and shook the stack of things in his hand, "I heard that he wrote a few new songs, and they got off the car the day before yesterday, but I'm sending him things in my busy schedule now, and it's worth five concert tickets." Maybe you can ask him to get Fang Yusi's autograph. However, there are a lot of them, and he is estimated to not be able to get the best position temporarily, a little in the middle. ”

It's okay, it's okay, Momo patted him on the shoulder: "I'm very happy to be able to go." ”

Chubby smiled and tilted his head: "This is an official date, right?" ”

"Count you in."

"Oh yes." Chubby shook his head, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove past the intersection in front of him. Fly up.

It's not a long way to get to the destination, and even in a crowded city like Hong Kong, it only takes more than ten minutes to reach the main entrance of the Royal Plaza Hotel. From time to time, I saw a luxury vehicle coming, the reporter took pictures, there were rich and famous people who got off the car, and from time to time I could also see some celebrities of all sizes, who looked like they were having a banquet, Xiaopang made a phone call, and then the five of them entered the hotel lobby together, waiting for the time. Ding Xiong asked, "What's your uncle's name?" ”

Xiaopang smiled: "Zheng Zepei, I guess you have heard his name behind some songs."

"He's your uncle!" Ding Xiong and Mu Qingqing called out at the same time, "Of course I've heard it, it's very powerful." ”

Let's put it this way. Chubby's round baby face smiled even brighter, and was about to brag, when a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a black suit also walked out of a certain banquet hall and went straight to this side.

"Did you get the thing? I forgot to take it when I got off the bus two days ago, who knew that I would have to ...... today. Hey, Xiaomo, have you made any progress with this kid recently? These two are ......"

"Ding Xiong, Mu Qingqing. They are police officers from the mainland. Very powerfully, Inspector Mu asked me to accompany them to handle the case these days. I just threw away what I was doing and ran over......"

"Hello, hello...... I know that your kid has always been very busy, and you want to get someone's autograph photo...... Uh......"

Zheng Zepei had a cheerful personality, greeted each other, flipped through those tunes with them, checked if there were any omissions, and then turned to the second page, his eyes swept over the middle of several people, and he was suddenly stunned.

Not far behind the four of them, Jiaming sat on the sofa, looking up at the bright ceiling. Sensing the other party's gaze, Jia Ming glanced at it, and then continued to look at the sky, ignoring it no longer.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zheng Zepei glanced at it twice, then lowered his head, took off his glasses and wiped them with a hand towel, put them on again, looked at them a few more times, and subconsciously walked over there.

"Uh, uncle?" Xiaopang asked, "He came to see Captain Mu, do you know him?" ”

"Sick?" Zheng Zepei was stunned, "I'm ...... I'm not sure, maybe I recognize the wrong person......"

At this time, a commotion came from the door, and several bodyguards stopped the reporter, who came in at this time, it was Fang Yusi, whose acting career has soared in recent years, and has faintly become the first sister in the music world, she is wearing an elegant black evening dress, her left shoulder is showing pink and white skin, and she is smiling and waving to the reporter behind her.

The hall was lively for a while, and some people who were in charge of reception, or who had just entered the gate, greeted them, and were hugged by everyone, Fang Yusi greeted them with a smile one by one. Mo Mo here whispered and viciously expressed his opinion: "I guess that Tan Keqing is definitely not her boyfriend, at most he is pursuing her." ”

"Why?" Chubby asked. "Look at it, Sister Yu Si is wearing high heels, she looks a little taller than Tan Keqing now, think about it, if Tan Keqing is really his boyfriend, why would Sister Yu Siqing dress up taller than him, it's completely unreasonable."

Xiaopang glanced at Mo Mo a few times, and then laughed: "Then you are wearing flat shoes now, are you deliberately trying to accommodate me, I am so moved......"

"Die, next time I'll wear high heels and inferiority to death you!"

The two flirted and scolded, while Mu Qingqing was thinking about Jiaming's affairs and asked, "Mr. Zheng, do you really know him?" ”

"You are his ......"

"It's just a friend, but I don't know anything about him, he seems to have something in his head, and occasionally it hurts a lot, and he usually doesn't speak, he doesn't pay attention to people, if you know his family, I want to get in touch with them......"

Zheng Zepei frowned and thought about it, but before he could answer, Fang Yusi in the crowd seemed to see him and waved hello, and he also hurriedly waved his hand and signaled the other party to come over. Fang Yusi showed a puzzled expression, it was originally suitable to talk to the banquet, here is just a gesture, he was stunned at this time, and then said a word to a few people around him, and turned his head. A large crowd followed her.

"Mr. Zheng, long time no see, there is a ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Zepei gestured to the side, and suddenly, Fang Yusi was stunned, he was almost already an international star, if there was anything that was considered a gaffe, it was probably the current expression.

She opened her mouth, and there was surprise, surprise, consternation, and disbelief on her face, and it went on for a long time. In front of a crowd, a man in a white T-shirt sits on the couch and looks at the ceiling, with a ridiculous Snoopy on the T-shirt.

"Gu Jiaming......"

"Something happened to him, and now there seems to be something in his head, saying that he doesn't pay attention to people at all......"

Fang Yusi glanced at Zheng Zepei a few times, and then walked over under the gaze of everyone, squatted in front of the man, and looked into his eyes......
