The saplings are still the same, exactly the same as they were planted three months ago, except that the leaves seem to have grown a lot fatter.

Lin Zi was a little stunned, she thought that she had at least grown taller.

When I thought about it, it was too, but it was only three months.

Lin Zi looked at the sapling in a daze, she didn't know that the hero of the story was quietly looking at her through the window, and his eyes were foggy.

I don't know how long it took, but Lin Zi came back to his senses and realized that he had been standing here for a long time unconsciously.

She took out her phone, subconsciously wanted to dial the phone, and when her finger was about to touch the dial button, she moved it away, and then, editing the text message, "I've arrived." ”

Lin Zi turned around and walked in the direction of the door, took two steps, turned back again, and glanced at the sapling swaying in the wind, this was probably the last time she came to see this sapling planted with his own hands.

Lin Zi walked to the staircase, lowered his head, and waited.

This time she didn't count.

He quickly went downstairs.

It's still the same Winnie the Pooh T-shirt, and the broken hair on the forehead is a little wet.

"Let's go up."

As if instructing, Lin Zi nodded and followed Yi Zhen one by one on the stairs.

"Mom, we're here."

The moment she heard Yi Zhen's voice, Qin Yun leaned out of the kitchen and looked at Lin Zi with a smile on her face, "Xiao Zi, you're finally here." Auntie misses you to death, Xiao Zhen He keeps saying that you are busy at school, I have been talking about you for a long time, I finally came here today, you have to accompany Auntie well. ”

Lin Zi pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, "Auntie, don't worry." ”

But there was a trace of sorrow in his eyes.

"Come, come in, there's still a dish that will be ready soon, you and Xiao Zhen will sit on the sofa first, you're welcome."

As he spoke, Qin Yun gestured to his son with his eyes.

"Go sit on the couch and be ...... It's the same at home. ”

Own home......

I don't know why, right now, when he said the three words of his own family from Yi Zhen's mouth, Lin Zi felt particularly harsh.

The two sat on the sofa, with a gap in the middle, and Lin Zi knew that this was a gap between them that could never be crossed.

Lin Zi's hands didn't know where to put them for a while, although it was not the first time he came here, but he was more nervous than the first time, and his hands were clenched until his palms were sweaty.

Yi Zhen suddenly approached, "You don't have to be so nervous, I won't eat you after all, what's more," Yi Zhen leaned into Lin Zi's ear and said in a deep voice: "You are so nervous, my mother will be suspicious, if you still want to know the answer you want, it is better to relax." ”

Lin Zi subconsciously stepped back, and after hearing what Yi Zhen said, she couldn't help but grasp the corner of her clothes.

The man in front of her, she is really strange.

It was as if she had never known him.

Lin Zi pursed his lips tightly, turned his head away, and stopped talking.

The moment Qin Yun walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, she happened to see the scene where Yi Zhen approached Lin Zi, from her point of view, it was just an affectionate behavior between young couples, which couldn't be more normal.

She looked at the two people on the sofa and was very pleased.

"Come on, come on, let's eat."

Qin Yun greeted the two people on the sofa.

Yi Zhen got up from the sofa, turned around and walked to the dining table, and showed his trademark smile, "Mom, I've made so many dishes again." ”

After Lin Zi calmed down, he slowly walked to the table and sat down.

"Xiaozi, eat quickly, it's all what you like to eat, eat more."

Qin Yun kept putting vegetables into Lin Zi's bowl as she spoke.

"Thank you, Auntie."

At the dinner table, Lin Zi tried hard to make herself laugh, forcing herself not to think about anything, pretending that nothing had happened, but her heart felt as if she had been pricked by a needle.

It was the longest and hardest meal she had ever eaten.

After eating, Lin Zi found an excuse to go downstairs, and Yi Zhen also walked down.

"Let's find a place."

Lin Zi looked up at Yi Zhen.

"Isn't it good here?"

Yi Zhen looked around.

"It's good because it's so good, because there are so many good memories here, so I don't want to make it my nightmare."

Yi Zhen didn't speak.

"Let's go to the café next door, there shouldn't be anyone at this point."

Without waiting for Yi Zhen to answer, Lin Zi had already walked forward.

This café is very hidden, even if Yi Zhen has lived in this place for so long, he never noticed it, and this place was discovered by chance when Lin Zi brought breakfast to Yi Zhen last time.

At that time, she thought that one day she must come here with him, drinking some bitter coffee, sitting through the glass window, looking up at the blue and boundless sky, from time to time, the sun will shine through the shade of the trees, dappled.

Now, she's finally here with him.

"This café is very quiet and stylish, the last time I happened to pass by, I wanted to come in and have a look, and now, it's finally complete."

Lin Zi's fingertips rubbed the rim of the cup, looked at the surrounding environment, and said to himself.

Yi Zhen's eyes moved slightly, but soon, his face returned to normal.

"What do you want to ask?"

Lin Zi's fingertips paused for a moment, then smiled, lowered his head, and didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Zi's hands gradually clenched, and he slowly raised his head, "My dad took it to investigate, my house was sealed, and the company is a mess now, I want to know, are you doing all this?" ”

Although he knew that he did it, Lin Zi still held the last trace of hope in his heart, hoping that he could say not two words from his mouth.

"It's me."

"yes, I was so stupid to ask such an obvious question, and sure enough, I was really stupid."

Yi Zhen didn't speak.

"So what do you want to do next? Let me also taste the taste of the destruction of the family? ”

Lin Zi's eyes were already red, but she told herself that she couldn't cry, let alone cry in front of him.

Yi Zhen still didn't speak, just frowned slightly, his eyes revealed a chilling cold light, and then, he reached out, took out a tissue from the carton on the table, and handed it to Lin Zi.

Lin Zi sniffed and didn't look over.

Yi Zhen's hand stopped in mid-air, a little embarrassed, and then slowly put it down.

"This is, he, owes us."

"I know, I know we're sorry for you, it's just, I hope, you see, for the sake of our past relationship, please, don't continue, okay."

Lin Zi looked at Yi Zhen pleadingly, her throat was stuck very painfully, her vocal cords were about to break, and the voice she struggled to make was hoarse.

Yi Zhen was as calm as ever.

It's just that he raised his head coldly, as if looking at something disgusting, and his voice was even colder, "Let him go?" Did Lin Kaibing let my dad go at that time? What did he do wrong again? ”

"I asked my dad, it was really an accident, it wasn't planned by him, someone must be harming him, you believe me, even if it's just once, okay, I'll find out the truth, I will, so, please ......"

Lin Zi's voice trembled a little, with a crying tone.

"I have already investigated the investigation, and I have also given the information that should be submitted to the police, I am waiting for the verdict of the law, if you believe that your father is innocent, then you are also waiting for the trial of the law."

"Okay," Lin Zi took a deep breath, "I still have one more question, today, I went to your apartment to find you, when I knocked on the door, you were not at home, ......" Lin Zi paused, and his fingertips couldn't help curling up, "It's the door that Shi Mu opened, you ...... Have you known each other for a long time? ”

"Yes, she's always been the one I've been looking for."

"Looking?"

Lin Zi was a little surprised.

"When I was in the dark, she pulled me out of the darkness, and now, she is in the dark, and I will pull her out together."

Lin Zi suddenly felt like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

She remembered that Yi Zhen had told herself that he had met a little girl when he was a child, and laughed that she looked like that little girl.

It turned out that the little girl was Shi Mu, it turned out that his gentleness towards himself, even if he pretended to be gentle, was just treating himself as her.

Lin Zi's chest seemed to be hammered hard.

No wonder, he was so surprised the moment he saw Shiki in his home, no wonder......

During this period of time, even if he knew that he was hypocritical to himself, those gentle Lin Zi always felt that he was not pretending.

She quietly put these hidden tenderness in her heart, like a poor child, hiding a piece of candy, wrapped in layers of sugar, she knew it was there, she didn't have to taste it, she also knew it was sweet.

And now, he told her, that the tenderness was real, but not for her, as if the candy had become moldy and bitter, and she still foolishly treasured it.

Lin Zi trembled a little uncontrollably, she had to work very hard to stabilize her figure, "I...... I finally ...... One more question...... In the past year or so, have you ever felt a trace of guilt for me, even for a moment......"

Yi Zhen was silent for a while, and then said lightly, "No." ”

No......

It turns out that you deserve it, and all of you deserve it......

Lin Zi didn't continue to sit down, she picked up her bag, ran out as if she was fleeing.

After Yi Zhen saw Lin Zi's figure turn away, the whole person seemed to be pulled away and collapsed in the seat.

Just now, why didn't he use up his last strength......

She must hate herself forever......

That'...... It's also good......

Yi Zhen slowly leaned his head back on the seat and gradually closed his eyes......

The palm that was clenched just now gradually loosened at this moment, and the palm of the palm was crimson blood......

The mobile phone rang, and Yi Zhen stiffly took out the mobile phone from his pocket, it was Shi Mu.

"It's time for you to come back."

"I will......"

"Your voice...... Did you make it clear to her? ”

"Make it clear, don't worry, I hope ...... You can keep the agreement between us. ”

"That's nature."
