Chapter 44: Liu Xia's Past

I don't know if it's a coincidence, when Liu Xia walked into the building, she happened to see Shihua waiting in front of the elevator, and it seemed that she had just arrived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

‘……’

He struggled to remember that he had waited at the door of the building for at least ten minutes or so because of the phone call. But he couldn't remember exactly when Shihua came in.

There was no expression on her tranquil face, her skin was as bright as snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she couldn't see the slightest ripple.

Because the temperature has dropped compared to yesterday, today she is wearing a red small suit uniform, which is very decently cut, and the curve on her chest is not amazing, but it is also pleasing to the eye. The slender legs were exposed to Liu Xia's eyes for the first time without reservation through the narrow uniform skirt, although they looked extremely white and tender, but from the tightness behind the joints, the strength of these legs was actually not as weak as it appeared.

But what surprised Liu Xia even more was that the inky hair of Shihua's shawl was coiled in the back of her head today. Compared with the usual long hair with a hint of feminine softness in the coldness, the ten flowers with coiled hair give people a more neat feeling, as if this style is tailor-made for her, even if it is the first time to see it, but it will not give people a little surprise and disobedience.

Although she was a little surprised that the deserted Shihua would take the initiative to change her appearance, Liu Xia still stepped forward expressionlessly. Shika seemed to be deaf to the approaching footsteps behind her, and her hands were hanging down to hold the bag in her hand.

"Early."

Walking behind Shihua, Liu Xia could even smell the faint sweet smell of fruit on her body. Liu Xia kicked off the meeting of the new day with such an untimely but indifferent greeting.

Shihua just now was obviously thinking about some problems that caused her to be a little distracted, and she heard Liu Xia's words at first glance. Her red eyes were stunned for a moment, and then she turned her face slightly to see Liu Xia's cold face, which was no worse than herself.

"Good afternoon."

Without correcting the other party's misuse, Shihua turned her face again. Waiting for the elevator intently, it was as if Liu Xia was just an ordinary passerby.

Liu Xia felt a little ridiculous, he helped his glasses, went around to Shihua to the elevator door, stretched out his finger and pressed the button to open the elevator.

"I forgot to open the elevator door."

If this had been left before the bank incident, Liu Xia would have been overjoyed. However, now he can achieve the realm of immobility, and this progress is quite obvious.

Of course, this is also related to the disappearance of the unnatural feeling when facing the ten flowers in the past.

Obviously, Shihua didn't notice her mistake. The door of the elevator had long stayed on the first floor, and the surrounding passers-by unconsciously went to use another elevator as soon as they saw the ten flowers standing at the door exuding a cold aura. This also caused the elevator to stay on the first floor for a long time, and no one came down upstairs, and no one went up here.

"Ah, is that so?" She casually said something unimportant, and began to make excuses for her mistake: "I was just thinking about things." ”

"Wow-"

The elevator door opened with a short delay with the button under Liu Xia's fingers, and the small steel space was displayed in front of the two of them.

Judging from the various obvious loopholes at the scene, Shihua was obviously waiting for someone here, and Liu Xia didn't know who she was waiting for, but in line with the principle of ladies first and humility, he still raised a hand slightly to Shihua and tried to invite: "Please." ”

The latter didn't say a word, walked in directly, and after entering the elevator, Liu Xia pressed the button to open the door.

‘……’

Liu Xia made a somewhat clear judgment on Shihua's actions in his heart, but he walked in with an expressionless face and pressed twenty-six.

The workshop is located on the 26th floor, on the upper floors of the building.

The atmosphere in the elevator was a bit stuffy, after all, it was impossible for two guys with cold and stinky faces to get together to create any relaxed atmosphere. They stood side by side, the elevator space was already small, and the slight shaking caused by the moment the elevator rose just now made their shoulders rub together.

The beautiful red eyes of the ten flowers stared earnestly at the blurry reflection reflected in the smooth elevator door in front of them; Liu Xia's glasses were reflected by the lights in the elevator, making it difficult to see his expression.

The two of them didn't say a word, no one knew who was thinking something, obviously close at hand, but far away in the sky.

Thankfully, however, the silence lasted only a short time.

"Something happened."

It was the ten flowers that broke the atmosphere. She turned her face slightly, her eyes gently looked at Liu Xia who was reflecting the light in her glasses through the afterglow, and her tone revealed eight points of flatness.

"Nothing happened." Liu Xia, who was questioned, was stunned, and then turned his face slightly as well, and the light on his glasses faded in an instant. The brown eyes that showed their true colors met the red eyes of Shihua: "Why do you ask that?" ”

Shihua didn't speak, and looked at Liu Xia for a moment with her afterglow. But it only took a few seconds for her to turn around again, and her gaze returned to the reflection of the elevator.

"Is it because of that idol?"

She seemed to have decided that the other party must have something to hide. But Liu Xia is curious, I'm afraid there's nothing wrong with her face, right? Why can Shihua easily perceive all this?

"Everything you're thinking is written on your face."

As soon as these words came out, he suddenly remembered that when he and Shihua met for the first time, it seemed that the other party already had this magical ability. But if he remembers correctly, since he sang in the square that time, that is, his unnatural sense of ten flowers disappeared, and Shihua's 'superpowers' should have been invalid, right?

"People who have something on their minds will always have something on their faces." Shihua is like a psychophilosopher, just through the influence of the reflection on the elevator, you can see the trajectory of Liu Xia's face.

“…… Is that so? ”

He suddenly remembered a sentence that could perfectly sum up his mood.

It's not that Liu Xia doesn't give up, but the ten flowers have a gundam. ’

Although the idea was relaxed, after laughing, he had to face the problem of Shihua again.

"I had a sense of loss." Liu Xia lifted her glasses, looked ahead without squinting, and listened earnestly with a serious face. His eyes exuded a coldness, and there was no way to discern what it meant: "All this had nothing to do with me, but I suddenly got it all at a certain moment in a certain place. ”

"I can say no, but I can't make up my mind. I always thought I would never touch it, but it happened. ”

The air conditioner of the elevator is constantly blowing cold air as it rises. In the dull space, Liu Xia narrated incomprehensible words in a dull tone, and a somewhat sad look unexpectedly appeared in these brown eyes.

"I don't know if it's because I want it or because I just can't give it up."

In the final analysis, it's because of his sister Yao Zhetian.

For Zhetian, Liu Xia from his own point of view, he never thought that he owed this sister anything. Perhaps the young family affection is the only bond between the two of them, but twelve years of drying have already broken this bond.

In fact, Liu Xia never believed that her sister would accept her brother without any care. But he can, in addition to the fact that men are more accepting of women's instincts than women are to men, more because the relationship between the two is itself in a state of protection and protection.

As an elder brother, Liu Xia has the responsibility to protect Zhetian, who is his younger sister. And Zhe Tian should be protected by Liu Xia.

Therefore, from this point of view, Liu Xia owes her sister again.

In the past twelve years, Liu Xia has not fulfilled her responsibilities as an older brother to protect her sister, and she has not even cared for and asked. In addition to the disregard for the supremacy of profit that he received since he was a child, it was more because of a series of political struggles between the Liu family and the Yao family after the death of the old man. Starting from the direction of science, Liu Xia has a negative sense of everyone in the Yao family. And the mother, who abandoned the family and indirectly became one of the reasons for his father's death, was the object of his hatred, and more disappointed in his sister's betrayal of him.

At a very young age, he was not so much unable to distinguish the reason for his sister's departure, but rather deliberately did not want to distinguish it. Zhetian was the only bright spot in Liu Xia's childhood, except for the continuous oppressive education. For my sister's feelings, it is more pressed in the deepest part of memory, and if the inconspicuous part gets the opportunity to be liberated, it will be infinitely expanded. He didn't want this relationship to become his shackles, so he deliberately shaped his sister and mother into objects that he couldn't easily say right in his life.

Liu Xia didn't know what his sister thought of him, but he only knew that he would never be able to help someone easily, let alone the mother and daughter he hated.

But all this disappeared with a phone call just now.

There is no cold and warmth, no homely routines, and no emotion; There was no sarcasm, no hatred, and no scolding. Except for the fact that the two identified each other at the beginning, the phone call was as plain as a daily call.

Even if it's my sister's impulse, it's just a common event in daily life.

What exactly does it feel like to be at home, Liu Xia has long forgotten. With the death of his father, his home was a house that was always cleaned. And since that day, fourteen-year-old Liu Xia has begun a time of polarization.

Fifteen-year-old Liu Xia entered the army, while learning the introduction to the important ideas of the three represents, and at the same time, under the leadership of his drinking friends and meat friends, he came into contact with the darkness buried under the prosperity of the city;

Sixteen-year-old Liu Xia sweats every day in the army, studying sociology and psychology, while opening the door to his untouchable crazy world;

Seventeen-year-old Liu Xia learned the style of a soldier, and while flipping through the in-depth study and practice of scientific development, he violated the law that he only triggered in his life;

Eighteen-year-old Liu Xia stepped neatly and chanted the slogan of the four cardinal principles, stepping into the political arena as a grassroots civil servant.

At the age of nineteen, on an important occasion in the Liu family, Liu Xia's rude behavior angered the upper echelons, and the next day he was criticized by a chief for being 'not serious'. At this point, Liuxia's short political life, which lasted only one year, came to an abrupt end.

Although in the end, under the energy of the Liu family, he did not receive a greater punishment. But the death of his father made his position more and more embarrassing, and after this defeat, he lost everything - the Liu family terminated all political resources for him.

With her documents and a bank card for small living expenses that everyone in her family has, Liu Xia came to Japan alone. He was crazy and wanted to change himself, he was afraid to remember how much of a bastard that former Liu Xia was. Whether it is the Yao family, or his mother, or the fox friends who once led him to the abyss, he transferred his hatred for everyone to the former Liu Xia.

For four years, he tried to change himself. When he thought he was doing well enough, the appearance of Shihua made him understand his shortcomings. When he thought he could control himself as he pleased, the bank incident made him deeply aware of the stupidity of his mentality.

It was also at that time that Liu Xia really began a transformation.

What is this metamorphosis for? Liu Xia didn't know, he felt that he was trying to prove himself to the Liu family. But without the patience of his family, even if he can prove that he is no longer who he once was, unless he encounters a miracle, he will not be able to make any progress in the political arena.

The so-called seven deadly sins of human nature are ugly, Liu Xia can be said to have experienced them all over again, if you talk about the darkness in your heart, no one knows better than him. So, who is he transforming for?

This question has always been one he has avoided answering. If he had to give an answer, he could say many, many more, but none of them could really touch him.

However, when Liu Xia heard that soft voice on the phone, he suddenly remembered.

It was once, the light hidden in the bottom of my heart. When that light is released and begins to swell. Any darkness will be unstoppable.

That's ...... Family.

She works hard and worries about her daughter's mother all the time and her sister who is not understood and bears a lot of pressure at the same time. This is the home that Liu Xia could have passed by for the rest of her life.

On the phone, he didn't feel the slightest concern from his mother about his son, whom he hadn't met for twelve years, and all of them were worried about Zhetian.

But it was as if he wouldn't show the slightest disgust for his mother, who he hadn't seen in twelve years, even at the last moments of the phone call, their topic revolved around Zhetian.

The mother in her memory rarely comes home, and Liu Xia's impression of her has no useful information other than knowing that she is her mother. But Zhetian is the polar opposite of her...... Zhetian was his childhood.

For the sake of this family, which was shattered twelve years ago, Liu Xia is willing to take the initiative to abandon all the prejudices he once had to accept his mother. But that doesn't mean he'll forgive the woman, he's said that there are things that can never be revealed.

In any case, all this has nothing to do with Zhetian. Five-year-old Zhetian has no ability to change the fact that he is about to be taken away, so Liu Xia is willing to re-glue the family through Zhetian. He could easily refuse the woman, but he didn't want to.

It's not so much that Liu Xia is willing to integrate into the light of the family, but that he wants to find a light to integrate into himself.

is such a phone call, in addition to letting Liu Xia know the existence of the mother and daughter, but also allowing Liu Xia to have a home again.

Thinking of this, Liu Xia suddenly understood the intention of the person to tell his mother his phone number.

"What's wrong with you?"

Shihua's sudden words instantly woke Liu Xia up from his memories. But then, he was surprised to find that his vision in front of him was full of hazy feelings.

"Nothing...... Something came to mind. ”

That's a kind of ...... A warmth I haven't felt in years.

Shihua looked at the man with a crooked face, and her red eyes made people wonder what it meant. But it only took a moment for her to withdraw her watery gaze.

"Here you go."

She held a tissue in her hand, and Liu Xiadang realized that she seemed to be a little out of shape. Having said that, there was still no expression on his face. As if nothing had happened, he took the tissue and took off his tear-stained glasses.

"It's rare." Shihua looked at the number of floors in the rise, and said lightly: "I always felt that people like you would not have this kind of emotion. ”

brushing away the warmth in his eyes, Liu Xia also felt a trance. It turns out that unconsciously, I have done so many things, but the cause is a word that has always been by my side, but I can't face it.

"Tears are caused by emotional stress, and stimulating the tear ducts when emotionally aroused naturally results in the release of this chemical synthesis."

Saying indifferently, he wiped his glasses brightly, and Liu Xia put them back on.

"Ding!"

The sound of the elevator suddenly sounded and interrupted the thoughts between the two, and the twenty-sixth floor had arrived.

Liu Xia suppressed the slightest regret in her heart because of the sudden interruption of her memories just now, and loosened her tie. After a brief delay, the elevator slowly pulled to the sides. The unique aroma of Italian cuisine and the flavor of the ingredients are mixed together.

Stepping on this tempting aroma, Liu Xia took the lead in walking forward. But at this moment, there was an unexpected pulling force behind him, which made him have to stop moving forward.

"You're not done yet."

Shihua's slender jade fingers grabbed the back of Liu Xia's suit, and her eyes stared straight at Liu Xia's back, and the calmness in her mouth didn't show that this was a person with an unusually strong desire for knowledge.

Liu Xia turned her face slightly, and the ten-flowered hair and the curled hair on the top of her head were extremely eye-catching. I don't know why, Liu Xia, who suddenly heard this scene, had a faint smile flashing on her plain face that had not changed even in her memories before.

"There are some stories that are not finished, so forget it."

Although Liu Xia's shallow smile was only fleeting, it was still captured by Shihua. Even so, her face still didn't change in the slightest, but she opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something. But Liu Xia suddenly reached out without warning and grabbed her creamy softness.

Shihua didn't even react, Liu Xia took her hand and walked out of the elevator, this huge pull from the male almost made Shihua fall, fortunately she finally reflected in time and stabilized her body.

And Liu Xia, who made such an ungentlemanly move, let go of the delicacy in his hand without any nostalgia after stepping out of the elevator, and there was no sense of urgency on his face, but explained vigorously: "It is a dangerous move to stay at the junction of the elevator and the floor for a long time. ”

Since the banking incident, his psyche has actually discarded a lot of unimportant things. If it was the previous Liu Xia, he might still be red-faced, but for Liu Xia, who has changed from the inside to the outside, this kind of thing may only be one of the many cranky thoughts before going to bed at night.

Although his name is Liu Xia, he never thinks that he will leave anything in this country. Youth, love...... He may understand all these words from the perspective of a spectator, but he feels that he will never feel them.

'Youth...... It's long since it ended. ’

Once again, there was a sigh that he had been yearning for in his heart, and Liu Xia waved his hand expressionlessly at the silent Shihua behind him.

"Let's go."

Unexpectedly, Shihua didn't say a word, and there was no complaint about the former's previous actions. just followed Liu Xia quietly, and there was not even any wave on his face, which was a little deeper than Liu Xia's calmness.

As for the strange reaction of shyness and blushing, it is called abnormal. ’

Shihua thought calmly in her heart, and she didn't intend to admit it.
