Chapter 20: The Flower of the Other Side
"Well, yesterday I saw my grandfather in the study in a daze at a photo, and it used to be the same, he used to look at the photo for most of the day, and no one was allowed to disturb him. Before this, it was my mother who could see it so fascinated, and this photo was a treasure more important to her than her own life, and she washed her face with tears in front of the photo. ”
Nangong Chen stopped and continued;
"Later, my grandfather was worried about my mother's physical condition, so he agreed with my father to hide the photo, and no one was allowed to look at it or mention it; Even I didn't even look at it twice. I remember when I took this photo, she was still very small, soft and glutinous, white and fat, very well-behaved, not crying or making trouble, lying in her grandfather's arms, I was not tall enough at that time, I always stood on tiptoe to see her, she was probably amused by my stupid appearance, sticking out her little tongue, babbling and smiling at me. Mom and Dad watched from the sidelines, smiling happily, and the moment the photo was frozen should be the happiest and happiest moment for the whole family. ”
Nangong Chen stopped again, picked up the red wine glass on the table, and took a sad sip. Sun Hao, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly, and put his hand on the back of his hand again.
Cold: "Then what did you find?" ”
Nangong Chen took out his mobile phone, flipped out the photo, and handed it over; Leng Yan took it, and Qingyang and Sun Hao both leaned over and looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see anything.
Sun Hao: "Chen, your sister is so cute!" ”
Nangong Chen glanced back at him and was silent.
Qingyang: "But this is a photo of a baby, and now after so many years, she has grown into a little girl, and it is still very difficult to rely on it alone." ”
Sun Hao: "Yes! ”
Nangong Chen: "Look at it carefully, on her left shoulder." ”
Everyone's eyes focused on the baby's left shoulder again, and soon, Qingyang was the first to see, "There is something on the left shoulder."
"Like a flower!" Leng Yan also saw it, "And the skin tone here is stranger than the surrounding one." ”
"Hmm!" Sun Hao nodded, and asked rhetorically: "But, like what, it seems to be ......"
"Flowers on the other side!" Coldness and lightness were spoken at the same time.
"That's right, the flower of the other side!" Sun Hao became excited, returned to his seat, looked at Nangong Chen, and comforted him with confidence: "Chen, with this clue, I believe I will be able to find it soon." ”
Listening to Sun Hao's words, Nangong Chen's eyes regained hope.
Leng Yan returned the phone to Nangong Chen, but was picked up by Sun Hao, and Nangong Chen was not surprised.
Leng Yan: "It is indeed much easier to find a birthmark than before, but it is not necessarily less difficult." ”
"Hmm", Qing Yang nodded slightly, "However, I have a suggestion, at this time, Sun Hao has to come out." Qing Yang found that Leng Yan was also looking at Sun Hao, and asked with a smile: "It seems that Yan thought of going with me." Leng Yan nodded at him.
At this time, Old Man Sun was looking at the photos on his mobile phone, and he always felt that this pattern was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he would tell them when he remembered it, so as not to make them happy in vain.
Sun Hao was about to return the phone to Nangong Chen, only to find that the three of them were all looking at him, with a strange feeling, "What, what's wrong, look at me like this!" Sun Hao asked puzzled.
Qingyang: "Sun Hao, this matter mainly depends on you."
"Ah, what, to make it clear, it won't be for me to pick up other people's clothes, let's see if there is this birthmark one by one, isn't this a neurosis?" Sun Hao's eyes widened in shock.
"What do you think!?" Nangong Chen smiled
Qingyang: "That's it, what do you want!" I'm asking you to say hello to the female nurses in the hospital and let them pay attention. ”
"I see, it scared me to death." Sun Hao exhaled. The next second, he became serious again, and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, although it may not be effective immediately, but it is also the most feasible method at present, I will arrange it now." Sun Hao immediately got up and went to the side to make a call.
Qingyang looked at Nangong Chen, "We can only do this for the time being, and then we will think of a way." ”
"Don't worry!" The tone in which he said this coldly was a little warmer than usual.
After a phone call was arranged, Sun Hao changed back to his previous demonic and unruly appearance, patted Nangong Chen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I believe it won't be too long this time, I have a hunch." ”
I have a hunch that Sun Hao didn't say this out of thin air, he did feel that Nangong Chen's sister, this little girl who had just been born not long ago, and who disappeared before she even had time to take her name, must be by their side.
After all, the birthmark was really familiar, though, I didn't remember where I had seen it.
"Hmm. Thank you. Nangong Chen poured a glass of red wine again, and they tacitly picked up each other's glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Words, needless to say, they each know in their hearts that this is the tacit understanding that the four of them have been running in since childhood.
The four brothers talked about the moment before the dinner began, if it weren't for Uncle Chen, the housekeeper of the Nangong family, who came to urge them many times, they would definitely not want to end it so soon. But because he couldn't let the elders wait too long, he obediently returned to the banquet.
A few hours later, the banquet was over, and Sun Hao was waiting for Nangong Chen alone in the corridor.
Nangong Chen and Mr. Nangong were the last to come out, and they saw Sun Hao waiting for him from a distance, so Nangong Chen asked his grandfather to go back first, and his grandfather looked at the figure in the corridor, and said with a kind smile: "Go ahead." Don't keep people waiting. ”
Nangong Chen watched his grandfather leave in the car, then turned around and walked towards the figure, "What's the matter, wait for me to have something?" The familiar voice sounded behind him, and Sun Hao turned around happily. Sun Hao, who is 1.8 meters tall, is tall, but he is still short to Nangong Chen, who is more than 1.9 meters.
Sun Hao looked at Nangong Chen's tired eyes, instantly distressed, gently stood on tiptoe, touched his eyebrows with his right hand, and slowly helped him rub away his fatigue.
Nangong Chen leaned on the pillar behind him, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the comfort at this moment.
After a long time, Sun Hao stopped, leaned on the railing on the side, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "Will you go back to Zurich tomorrow?" ”
Nangong Chen opened his eyes, "This time, I won't go back for the time being." ”
Sun Hao looked at Nangong Chen in surprise and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"She's born in Shanghai, and I'm going to stay there for a few months, try my luck, and find out if there are any other clues."
"If you need my help, don't hesitate to say it."
Nangong Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at the person in front of him, Sun Hao also smiled and responded, and then looked into the distance, and the two of them quietly looked at the scenery in their eyes.
The midsummer in Paris tonight is beautiful, with a gentle breeze and sweet air; For them, time and space are so small that only each other's hearts are left tacit.
