Duan Ming.

It's not a name I'm familiar with. However, the moment these two words came out of his mouth, a real and sharp throbbing pain suddenly came from my heart for no apparent reason.

It's really weird, it seems that some deeply buried memory breaks through the mind in an instant, and the body takes the place of emotion.

Wen Ling, Duan Ming.

The two of them must have some indelible past......

"Duan Ming, your name is very nice." I whispered, "But I'm sorry, I don't remember anymore." ”

"What the hell did he do to you...?"

"What? Who? Duan Ming, what are you talking about? ”

There were no words, and the response was just more tears rolling down.

The sensation became more and more pronounced, a pain that was as obscure and sluggish as a cocoon. It's as if everything is slowed down, blood flow, pulse, heartbeat, time......

Everything disappeared and annihilated at a slow and strange speed, and all that was left in this world was Duan Ming's autumn watery eyes and the sharp pain that burst through his eardrums.

"I don't know what your relationship with Wen Ling is, but Duan Ming, I'm sure she'll come back." I breathed heavily, laboredly, "So until then, don't be sad, okay?" I don't want to see you crying, maybe, we can let go of the past and start a new relationship again, as long as you want, okay? ”

The moment my heart beats, the suffocating pain seems to move out of my heart.

I looked firmly at Duan Ming's eyes, those eyes full of doubts and still tear-stained. For a long time, as if the dark clouds had been dispelled by the sunlight in my eyes, he stopped crying, and then slowly stood up, slightly relaxing the tense muscles on his face.

"Re... Begin? ”

"yes, start over!" I saw that Duan Ming's expression was a little gloomy, and my mood seemed to be a little cheerful, "Although I don't have the memory of Wen Ling, I still have to continue to live as her in the future." So, no matter what kind of relationship we had before, I hope you can get to know me again and help me get back to a gentle life, okay? ”

Duan Ming's eyes blinked and blinked, and it took a long time to barely understand what I meant. His gaze flickered, as if it were tentative excitement, and like vague timidity. The long, thick eyelashes trembled eagerly, but they were no longer as teardropped.

"Banner Master, are you really...?"

"—just tell me to return to Hotaru."

Duan Ming's face flushed, as if it was a great perverse thing to call me by his name. He was a little cramped, pacing back and forth a few steps uneasily, then turned his head to look at me and hesitated: "According to what you said, how should your subordinates deal with themselves in front of you?" ”

"Isn't it good for us to be friends?"

"The subordinates don't dare!"

"What don't you dare to do, I promise you, even if I get Wen Ling's memory back in the future, I won't turn against you." I said lightly, "Or if you are afraid that I will break away from her in the future, then you can get along with me as you did with her in the past, in any case, as long as you are happy." Only, before you guys... It's not a relationship between men and women, that's fine. ”

"The subordinates don't dare! Don't make fun of your subordinates! Duan Ming said in fear, "Over the years, you have treated your subordinates like a mountain, like a sister and a teacher. How dare your subordinates have delusional thoughts about you! ”

"It's best if you don't have it!" I said happily, "Don't be restrained, from now on you and I will still be subordinates in terms of relationship, but we will only get along as friends." You don't have to call yourself a subordinate anymore, and you don't have to say an honorific to me, it's too distant, I don't like it. ”

Duan Ying frowned slightly, as if he had something to say. However, my words seemed to him to be like an order that could not be refuted, and after a long time, he let out a sigh of relief and whispered "yes" to me.

"Gui Hotaru..."He blinked to hide the awkwardness of changing his words, "You... Did you really lie to me? ”

"What I said is true." I said sincerely, "Looking at your appearance, why did Wen Ling treat you very mean before?" ”

"—no, no. She... You treated me well before. "He didn't dare to tell the truth, and he didn't have the strength. After a long time, he finally raised his eyes to look directly at me again, and the sadness and tenderness of Shicai had been replaced by firm perseverance, his eyebrows did not open, but the corners of his mouth slowly opened a smile that made people smile like a warm spring breeze. "Don't worry."

I didn't understand the meaning of Duan Ming's words, but I was immersed in his beautiful smile.

Duan Ming's appearance is a balance between Chu River and Xiaoli, a masterpiece of nature's perfect blend of toughness and heroism and immaturity and fullness. Although he is delicate, there are too many determinations and beliefs in his expression that do not match his appearance.

Staring at such a face, where can I still maintain the ability to think logically. At this moment, listening to him gently spit out the soft and glutinous three words, his mind was a little dizzy, and he could only nod vaguely and stupidly.

"You're frightened tonight, and it's time to get some rest." Duan Ming smiled, "It's getting late, I'll send you back to your room." ”

"No, my room is upstairs, just go up by yourself." I suddenly came back to my senses and said, "It's you, how can you live in Taopinlou?" ”

"It's a long story, but I had no choice... I'll talk about that tomorrow. Duan Ming said hastily, "I heard that this upstairs is not for ordinary residents, but I heard you say that the bustard mother here is your own deceased, why have you been living here these days?" ”

"Well, it's a long story. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I was slightly sad, smiled perfunctorily and said, "Okay, it's really late today, I won't delay your rest, let's see you tomorrow." ”

Duan Ming and I smiled at each other and nodded, and went out upstairs. The journey was in a trance, and his thoughts were complicated, until he collided with Gan Lai, who was holding a huge wooden barrel full of dirty water, at the staircase on the fifth floor, and suddenly woke up. The boy was so alarmed that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Girl, spare your life!" Little damn it! It was a small injustice that disturbed the girl, and asked the girl to forgive her sins! ”

"What sin thou hast sins, the ground is cold, get up quickly." I pulled Ganlai's thin arm up and whispered to him, "It's been this hour, how can you finish your work?" ”

"It's... The small hands and feet are coarse, and I ask the girl to forgive me. "Gan Lai is still a child's voice, and his voice is more and more trembling under the fright, which makes people feel distressed." It turned out that the downstairs guest room was dirty earlier, and Uncle Fu asked the little one to clean up, and it was only after coming and going that the work was delayed, please forgive the girl! ”

"I've said it's not your fault, and I won't punish you." My mind moved, and then I doubted, "But didn't I mean that you are in charge of the daily cleaning of my floor, why did Fulin ask you to clean up the guest rooms on the first floor, did he bully you again?" ”

"No, it's just because the guest officer was a small reception when he came, so if something happens, it should naturally be the aftermath of the small one."

"This is strange, the guest officer originally had a special reception, why is it your turn to help them work?"

"Back to the girl, the little one was going to go upstairs to work at night today, but who knew that he ran into Uncle Fu when he entered the backyard. Uncle told me that my brothers were busy in front of me, and that there was a guest officer on the first floor who would take care of him first. Who knew that the guest officer wanted to find the sisters in the building to accompany him, but the small excuse was not enough, and the silver ticket that was stuffed in his hand went to the middle building to pass on. Gan Lai's voice was extremely weak, and his unfamiliar face was full of distressing fear and incomprehension.

"Unexpectedly, the brother in front of me received the reward for the girls, and he kept me hanging there. I didn't dare to go back, but half an hour later, Uncle Fu pulled me back to the guest room, saying that I didn't do a good errand and annoyed the guest officer, and I was still lazy and idle in the middle building. I was ordered to clean up the messy wing room smashed by the guest officer and then go upstairs to clean it, which was delayed until this hour, and the little one really didn't have the intention to slack off! ”
