Time will erase some of the pain that you thought you would never forget, and it will also steal the best familiarity that was once beautiful. Ten years ago, I never saw each other again, the two of them had grown into a different appearance, Li Muchuan didn't know Fang Bin's story after that, and Fang Bin didn't know Li Muchuan's bitterness.

The two people sitting on the sofa consciously or unintentionally kept a trace of distance, Li Muchuan was aware of this physical distance, but he was more concerned about the psychological distance.

Fang Bin couldn't help but look Li Muchuan up and down, the person in front of him didn't seem to have any connection with Xiaochuan ten years ago. What a juvenile student Ogawa used to be, full of shyness and simplicity. The person sitting on the sofa now, Fang Bin couldn't see what he was thinking at all, as if his soul was in another world.

However, Xiaochuan is still alive and well, Fang Bin thought, this is enough, it can be regarded as a little comfort for his decision back then.

Fang Bin opened the deadlock, rubbed his hands together incessantly, and said, "Xiaochuan, I, I'm sorry for you." ”

Li Muchuan on the side did not respond, knowing that Fang Bin would continue to speak.

"I advised you to run away, and that was the best I could think of. If you are caught, you will have the reputation of squatting in prison for the rest of your life, but if you escape, there is still a chance to survive and start a new life. ”

Li Muchuan looked at Fang Bin, who was talking next to him, with no change in the expression on his face, and popped out a sentence, "I don't blame you, Fang Bin." ”

Fang Bin raised his head and looked at Li Muchuan, feeling that the shadow of the original Xiaochuan could still be found in his body.

"Ogawa, I have one more thing to tell you." Speaking of this, Fang Bin looked even more nervous, although the room was fully air-conditioned, a few drops of sweat oozed from Fang Bin's forehead, flowing down with his cheeks.

Li Muchuan changed his sitting posture, which seemed to let Fang Bin continue.

Receiving a response, Fang Bin continued, "Yes...... It was I who called the police. ”

The pause interval was only a dozen seconds, but it was like a galaxy across the galaxy, with scorching flames on one side and icy waters on the other. Fang Bin didn't know which side he belonged to, and his belated confession was not his own inner condemnation, but more like a relief to himself.

"I know, I don't blame you." The faint words came out of Li Muchuan's mouth, as if the person who had escaped for ten years because of this matter was not himself, but someone else. It is said lightly and without traces.

Li Muchuan raised his head slightly, and the original student's immature and energetic face became a cold and grim face with traces of time.

"This is the best way to save you and me. If you conceal it and deliberately do not report to the police, and in the end others find out that calling the police may pull out other things, and it will be very troublesome at that time. Your calling the police is more powerful to us. I think you will intentionally or unintentionally blur some details and interfere with the judgment of the police at the time, right? ”

Li Muchuan's rhetorical question was like a thin needle piercing his heart deeply, he never thought that Li Muchuan knew all this, but Li Muchuan was so frightened at that time that he didn't know what to do.

Fang Bin nodded weakly and replied, "Well, yes. ”

Then he asked: "Xiaochuan, how have you been doing in the past ten years?" ”

The chandelier on the ceiling of the living room has a unique shape, which Li Muchuan has never seen before, and he has not seen it for many years, Fang Bin is already a person with great taste. His eyes slowly looked up, thinking about something, Li Muchuan inadvertently showed a smile, the smile was very light, with a little ridicule, but it was not others who laughed, but Li Muchuan himself.

"After escaping from the alley that day, I didn't stop all the way, running from the street without street lights to the fields, until the next morning, but fortunately you gave me a lot of money at that time, and I took a few bus rides to a place I didn't know at all. Later I learned that I had left the town, the county seat, and went to another province.

After that, I was fooling around in different cities, doing this for two days, doing that for two days, worrying, but fortunately, no one noticed it. At first, I could hear people talking about a girl being killed in a place, but I haven't heard it since. I found a way, got a fake ID card, and it's now. ”

Fang Bin could see that Li Muchuan had regret in his eyes when he was talking, and it was difficult to summarize the events of the past ten years in one paragraph, no matter what, it was one-sided. It's easy to say, but the frustrations and helplessness encountered in the past ten years can only be experienced by him.

After that, Li Muchuan had a smile on his face, a sincere smile, looked at Fang Bin, and said, "Fortunately, buddy was not arrested, isn't it good now." ”

yes, it's good that Ogawa wasn't caught. Fang Bin nodded heavily.

The scars of the past are touched again, with a trace of discomfort, and they will complain about why there is less luster in the past, but what can withstand the years is the glory and worth remembering.

I haven't seen each other for ten years, and after the strangeness, speechlessness, and temptation at the beginning, both of them have taken off their guards, at least most of them. It feels like it's back to ten years ago, and the two are still brothers who are hooked up and back.

Li Muchuan paced and looked at Fang Bin's room, his eyes were full of envy, how good it would be if this was him.

"Fang Bin, you kid can mix well, you live in a big house."

Fang Bin smiled embarrassedly and responded: "After listening to the words of the old man at home, I studied medicine, and naturally became a doctor, I didn't want to work in the hospital, so I borrowed some money to open a dentist clinic, which is quite passable." ”

"College, is college interesting?" This sentence stayed in the air, and only fell silent for a moment.

Fang Bin understood that if Li Muchuan hadn't had this incident at that time, he would definitely have been able to study in a good university, but now, ......

"It's okay, it's not interesting, it's just like that, and you still have to go to work in the end." Fang Bin didn't know if these unnutritious words could make Li Muchuan feel better.

Li Muchuan nodded thoughtfully, unable to tell if it was loss or something else.

How did Li Muchuan know that he lived here? After graduating from university, Fang Bin never returned to the town, and went directly to the city to start working. The two have not been in touch for ten years, how can they know where they live? He told Li Muchuan his doubts.

Li Muchuan told Fang Bin without thinking that he had returned to the town and asked a few times before he knew that you had come to work in the city. Fortunately, Fang Bin is the son of the deputy director of taxation, and he can always ask someone on the streets for general information. When I came to the city, I found a few newly opened dentist clinics, and found the one opened by Fang Bin, and then followed him here.

Hearing that Li Muchuan had returned to the town, Fang Bin let out a cold sweat, "Are you crazy, Xiaochuan!" You dare to go back, if this is discovered, the ten years of hiding will be in vain! ”

Seeing Fang Bin's nervous appearance, Li Muchuan felt a little funny, but he still couldn't help but not have a seizure, after all, he was anxious for himself.

"It's been ten years, no matter how sensational things are, they will be forgotten, there will always be things that are more worthy of being said, and people who love to watch the excitement will not talk back and forth about one thing."

Yes, in the year since Li Muchuan escaped, people are still talking about it, saying everything. But a year later, the matter was like sinking into water, and no one talked about it again. People on the streets and alleys discuss new and new things, which daughter-in-law in the neighborhood next door is breaking shoes, and which family's children are admitted to good universities.

One thing will eventually be overwritten by another, and no matter how impressive it may be at the time, it will eventually drown in the long river of time.

"Then, you know your family's ......" Fang Bin wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't know how to continue, so he could only leave the conversation to Li Muchuan.

Li Muchuan stopped pacing, stood still, and slowly, pretending to be careless, said, "Yes, I know." ”

He didn't explain it directly, but Fang Bin already knew that Li Muchuan already knew about it. He didn't want to open his mouth to mention this matter, and Fang Bin wouldn't be bored.

Silence is the best break in the play, and neither of them knows how to continue, and looks at each other slightly awkwardly.

"I'm in town, and I've heard people say that your father is ......" halfway through the same sentence, as if neither of them knew how to talk about the more sensitive things between conversations.

The death of his father is not something that cannot be said, and there must be rumors in the town, and it is naturally not uncommon for Li Muchuan to hear about it. Fang Bin nodded, which was regarded as acquiescing to Li Muchuan's hearing.

The loss of life is not something worth talking about, Fang Bin diverted the conversation, and now he doesn't want to say more about his father. "Xiaochuan, did you come to me for something this time?"

In fact, Fang Bin had doubts at the beginning, Li Muchuan was hiding in the field, why did he go to great lengths to find himself. It's just that I was very shocked when I saw Li Muchuan just now, and this shock also covered my doubts, and now I came back to my senses.

Li Muchuan said casually: "I encountered a little trouble, I need to hide, and by the way, I have to solve some private matters." ”

Hearing Li Muchuan's words, Fang Bin hesitated, Li Muchuan has been in an environment that he can't imagine in the past few years, and the people he comes into contact with must not be good, at this moment Li Muchuan said that he encountered a "little trouble", and it is really hard to say how small this trouble is.

After Li Muchuan finished speaking, he naturally noticed Fang Bin's abnormality, after all, they had been together for many years, and Li Muchuan could still expect Fang Bin's thoughts, so he added another sentence. "Don't worry, you won't be implicated, the matter is over, and I will leave myself."

On the wall of the living room hung a photo of Fang Bin and Lin Han, the two people in the photo were very close, Lin Han held Fang Bin's arm, rested his head on his shoulder, and showed a sweet smile.

Li Muchuan stood in front of the photo, did not move for a long time, looked at the photo, and continued the words just now, "You continue your life." ”
