Chapter 117: Burning Paper
The basement was dark and there were no lights on in the whole house. Maybe Fu Mingyuan did it deliberately, he is a man, and he has nothing to fear of these. Unlike Su Tian.
Coupled with the atmosphere of the Qingming Festival, my heart was depressed. This atmosphere is deliberately created. Afraid of ghosts? What are the ghosts afraid of? It's been so many years, and if his mother can take this opportunity to come back, it's too late to be happy.
It's a pity that there are no ghosts in the world, the only person who moves down step by step with a kitchen knife and slippers is cautious for fear of seeing something bad.
And the weird atmosphere he carefully created was broken by Su Tian alone. There was still an orange flame dancing in the brazier, as if it was still shining in front of Fu Mingyuan's eyes, just like many years ago, when he was still young, he didn't understand the meaning of life and death. It was only after his mother closed her eyes that she found that she could no longer see him. Led by his family to kneel down, pieces of paper money flew in the firelight, and some turned to ashes, perhaps in the hands of relatives in the underworld. Some of them were blown away in the night wind, and I don't know which lonely ghost they floated to.
Fu Mingyuan didn't know, but it was just burning one by one, and it was best to have one in his mother's hands. I can only hope for this.
Step by step over the stairs in the basement and climb up, the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor with them fell step by step into Fu Mingyuan's heart. The fire behind him was flying, Fu Mingyuan lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms, feeling pity and guilt mixed in his heart.
He glanced at the kitchen knife at the door of the basement, it was a whole set of utensils he bought in the kitchen not long ago, and Su Tian took the sharpest knife among them, perhaps because he was afraid of bad guys.
What did she think at the time? Isn't it a trembling step while flustered, put his hands behind his back, and probe his head to look inside.
Fu Mingyuan could fully imagine Su Tian's expression and mental activity at that time. Su Tian's health is very bad, especially recently, she has some physical and psychological diseases, and she is not yet complete. But Su Tian put the knife at the door and tiptoed down, maybe trying to comfort him? Maybe you want to get a peek into the secrets of his heart?
Fu Mingyuan closed his eyes fiercely, and for the first time in a pair of deep pupils in the night, an uncertain light flashed, and gentleness and hatred were intertwined, making his face look a little confused.
What's right? What's wrong?
Fu Mingyuan himself didn't know. It's just that from the meeting many years ago to the later love-hate relationship, the fates of the two of them have long been entangled, and there may be no way to separate.
This is also the reason why he hates and feels distressed at the same time.
Fu Mingyuan carried Su Tian to the bedroom, tucked the quilt for her, rubbed her sore temples, and turned downstairs again.
As if he was afraid of waking up to something, his movements were slow, so his steps slowed down. A night of immersing himself in the not-so-good memories of the past and trying to talk to his dead relatives made him a little crazy. It wasn't until Su Tian fell into his arms that he suddenly came to his senses. By now, the evening breeze had already blown his heart cold, and he understood what kind of world he was still in.
Fu Mingyuan went to the basement first, completely extinguished the fire, and could not leave a little remnant. He left so many memories in the basement that a little light of fire could wipe them out. At that point, he might really go crazy.
When he came back again with the pain ointment, he had already heard Su Tian's steady breathing. Her eyes were closed and her brow furrowed tightly, as if she had dreamed of something bad that made her uncomfortable.
Fu Mingyuan frowned unconsciously, touched her heart, applied the ointment to her fingers, and rubbed it on Su Tian's fair neck. The cold was a little excessive, and the person in his arms moved unconsciously.
Fu Mingyuan gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, "Sleep." ”
At this time, he was truly sober. also knew that he couldn't stay alone in the same space with Su Tian, otherwise he didn't know if he wouldn't be able to control what he would do in such an atmosphere at this time.
He grabbed Su Tian's forehead hair on the sideburns, and his movements were gentle, full of care and doting. Su Tian, who fell asleep like this, was the most docile and likable, lying on the bed obediently, as if he would never leave him. Don't worry about when she'll run back and run to a place he can't find. The arrogant possessiveness in Fu Mingyuan's heart was finally satisfied.
He turned around and went out, unable to sleep tonight. I want to go to the study and sit down, and maybe I can take care of some company matters.
Fu Mingyuan gently closed the doorknob and stood in place for a few seconds, but still locked the door. He put the key in the innermost pocket of his jacket and tried to push it inside, but found that there was no way to push it away, so he left contentedly.
When Su Tian opened his eyes, he felt a sense of confusion. She's... Asleep again? It seems that I have been falling asleep a little too often lately.
She raised her hand in the dark, unable to see the appearance of her five fingers, opening and closing them together, slowly and slowly, only to notice a little light.
Su Tian lay on the bed weakly, coughed a few times, and then touched his neck, the pain of being suffocated tightly by two big hands was still there, but it seemed to be a little different.
In the night when the vision is not sensitive, the sensitivity is particularly outstanding. Su Tian smelled a faint mint scent, as if it was coming from her neck. It didn't smell pungent, but it smelled good.
Su Tian remembered, she just heard a strange singing, looked around the house, and finally found that the basement was shaking with a slight red firelight, she walked in and saw Fu Mingyuan's lonely back, under the dual effect of distress and curiosity, she quietly put the kitchen knife at the door, and quietly broke in alone.
Fu Mingyuan was worshipping her mother, and she also quietly worshiped the gentle and beautiful woman in her imagination who had never met or heard what Fu Mingyuan said, but this was the case, she was discovered by Fu Mingyuan.
Those scarlet eyes were still reflected in Su Tian's memory, making her still sleepy and palpitating. Why did Mingyuan look at her with such terrifying eyes?
Su Tian touched his injured neck. She knew that even if she smeared the medicine, there would still be faint bruises the next day, this was not the first time, Su Tian was used to it.
It seemed to be the same last time, just because of the mention of Mingyuan's mother, he suddenly went crazy? Su Tian's heart was overwhelmed by a huge panic and desire to explore. She knew that she had to find out the cause of Mingyuan's mother's death.
Her instinct told her that this was the one thing she had to understand to break the shackles of their current relationship.
Su Tian suddenly jumped up from the bed, she had been in a daze, but she had forgotten something. She suddenly jumped out of bed barefoot and rushed to the door. Then she desperately held the doorknob and moved it to the left and right, but no matter how hard she tried to push it in and out, it didn't move. It's just the sound of the crack in the door.
"Fu Mingyuan! Fu Mingyuan! Let me out! ”
Su Tian shouted weakly, the distress in her heart was completely suppressed by another anger compared to being locked up.
"Why? Fu Mingyuan! "Why do you never explain to her, why do you just lock her up every time something happens?
Isn't she a person with a mind of her own, why lock her up?!
Su Tian's heart seemed to be splashed head-on by a basin of cold and biting water on a winter night, and she only felt cold and biting. She suddenly realized that she had never known the man beside her. How many secrets the other party hid in his heart, she didn't know at all. The other party will never tell her, and will only choose to imprison her by his side.
For the first time, Su Tian had the idea of escaping.
Maybe in the past it was just the kind of sadness that was angry and awkward. This time I really want to escape, I don't want to be confined like that again.
Obviously she didn't do anything.
Su Tian was thinking in her heart how to escape. It's definitely not going to work now, so what to do, wait until daylight the next day? Will things turn around? Will Mingyuan come to see her? No, no, no, Mingyuan definitely wouldn't think of her.
Su Tian didn't notice that his current state of madness and inferiority complex was very similar to what he looked like in the hospital before. She was depressed and uncomfortable, desperately grabbing her scalp, pulling her hair down, and then letting go of her handful of broken hair.
Su Tian lay on the bed and told herself that she must calm down, no matter what she wants to do, she must wait until the next day, and she must not be in a hurry. But she was very flustered in her heart, and she could only rely on her arms to keep her composure, and blood stains were scattered on her white arms.
Su Tian didn't even notice it herself, her mental illness was faintly committed.
Later, I don't know how I fell asleep, whether I was tired from my thoughts or what, in short, I was groggy and half-asleep, and I kept waving my arms and calling for something in my dreams.
Su Tian woke up from the dream again and found that it was already dawn. There was no one beside her, Fu Mingyuan didn't let her out, and he didn't seem to come back.
Su Tian stood up, feeling that the depression and anxiety of the previous night had not completely disappeared, but she pinched herself fiercely because she heard Lao Li's voice.
It doesn't matter, as long as Fu Mingyuan is not there, she will have a chance to go out.
Su Tian tried to pull out a very usual smile and patted the door panel, "Is it Lao Li?" Can you open the door for me? Lao Li? Lao Li? ”
Lao Li really opened the door for her, and looked at her with a complicated expression, "Madam, come down to dinner." ”
He felt in his heart that it was wrong to lock people up in a quarrel, but as a servant, he couldn't say anything. I had to sigh.
Su Tian endured the discomfort and thanked him, walked downstairs step by step, changed into a pair of shoes that were easy to walk, and then sat down at the dining table.
After testing Fu Mingyuan's absence, Su Tian suddenly pushed Lao Li away and ran towards the gate suddenly, she was about to escape!
But at this time, she suddenly heard the sound of the car, and Fu Mingyuan came back...
