Chapter 7: The Heart

I was lying comfortably in the bathtub, soaking in the hot water from the neck down, and I felt all my fatigue dissolved in the hot water, and it was a very comfortable feeling.

The heat was rising in front of me, and the whole bathroom was confused, and I was as if I was in a dream.

My head was empty, I didn't think about anything, I felt very relaxed, I hadn't felt that in a long time.

I slowly closed my eyes.

In this way, a figure gradually appeared in front of him.

The figure became clearer and clearer.

White, spotless, dusty, sad, and complaining, as if he was preoccupied, suddenly a smile shone on an iceberg like a warm winter sun.

That's right, it's the woman named Xiaomeng in President Lin Heping's bag.

How could I think of this person at this time?

The peerless face, the sad look between the eyebrows, really can't help but make people want to get close to her, comfort her, and protect her.

When I opened my eyes, the figure in front of me suddenly disappeared, but the feeling in my heart was still there, and it was getting clearer and clearer.

That girl is really unforgettable at a glance. In particular, the feeling she gives people is too profound.

By the way, that's a ghost, if it weren't for the fact that it can give people such an impactful impression, then how can it still confuse people? It's like what people say about the red face and the troubled water, if there is no peerless face of "laughing at the city, and then laughing at the country", it can't make a man "cry bitterly, and be angry for the crown".

I was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly wiped my face with my hand and shook my head vigorously.

I think so much about that woman, and I can't forget her, have I already fallen for that ghost's trick?

I didn't dare to stay in this bathroom any longer, so I hurriedly put on my bathrobe and walked out.

There were two tables of mahjong in the living room, Ye Shunchang and Li Changdeng occupied a table, and Guo Tingting, Lin Miaoyin and their girls occupied a table. Wang Jiaqi didn't know how to play mahjong, so Gao Gao sat next to her and taught her.

The strange thing is that the little red leaves are not in the living room.

I watched behind Li Changdeng for a while, talked to everyone for a while, and felt that it was not interesting, so I opened the door and walked out, ready to go outside to the grass to blow the wind.

"It's cold outside, wear an extra layer of clothing." Guo Tingting said loudly to me from behind.

As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew in my face, and I couldn't help but shiver. I hurriedly closed the door, went back to my room, took off my bathrobe, changed into warmer clothes, and walked out of the villa again.

It's dark outside, walking on the soft grass, the cold wind blowing on the body, I feel extremely refreshed, and my mind is much clearer.

I opened my arms and took a deep breath.

I feel very satisfied.

Although I have gone through a lot of things, and even faced a life-and-death situation several times, I have finally been in danger. And now, the place in front of me belongs to me, and I am the master here. Wide and beautiful meadows, palatial villas, and a room of friends. This feeling is really fulfilling and satisfying, and what more could I ask for.

Except for my identity.

If I'm not a judge of the world now, and I don't deal with those things in the dark world, then I can really say that I am perfect.

But that's not possible. Since I've embarked on this path, I have to keep going. As for how far it will be, I don't know myself.

And everything I have now is brought about by my identity. If I didn't have this identity, maybe everything in front of me would have left me.

At this time, I suddenly heard a long sigh.

I hurriedly looked back.

The voice came from behind a clump of evergreens.

"Who's where?" I asked.

There was a shuddering sound, and a person stood up from behind the group of evergreens. The night was so thick that I could only make out that it was a young woman, but I couldn't tell who it was.

"Is it a knife?" The dark shadow asked rhetorically.

"Is that you?" I immediately recognized it as Momiji's voice, "Why are you hiding here alone?" Damn, you're not hiding here...... That's it, right? ”

As I spoke, I walked over, bypassing the evergreen bush and walking to the side of the little red leaves.

Separated so closely, under the light in the villa, you can barely see Xiao Hongye's face clearly.

"I'm drinking here." Little Momiji said, holding up a beer can in his hand and bringing it to me.

As soon as Xiao Momiji opened his mouth, a smell of wine only hit my face.

I looked down and saw several empty beer cans on the ground. At the feet of the little red leaves, there are many beer cans that have not been opened.

Xiao Hongye sat down in front of the young man with a heavy butt, crossed his legs, handed me a can of beer, and said, "Do you want to come some?" ”

Before I could answer, Momiji threw the can of beer in his hand at me.

I hurriedly reached out and caught it.

In front of the little red leaves, there are also a lot of snacks, potato chips, spicy potato chips, beans, peanuts, peas...... The whole nine yards.

"You don't make a mess of my meadow." I said with a smile.

Xiao Hongye rummaged for something in the snacks, and said without raising his head: "Lao Tzu will clean it up for you in a while, right?" ”

I sat down cross-legged across from the little red leaves, opened the beer can and took a sip, a cold feeling from my mouth to my stomach.

"Do you have something on your mind?" I asked, looking at the little red leaves.

Xiao Hongye finally found a strange smell of beans, tore it open with a loud "bang", threw one in his mouth with two fingers of his right hand and ate it, and said, "I'm leaving here tomorrow, so come here to drink some wine, pay tribute, and say goodbye." ”

I was very surprised, and hurriedly said, "Why do you want to leave all of a sudden?" Where do you want to go? ”

Xiao Hongye took a big sip of wine, exhaled and said, "The world is so big, where you go, it counts." It's not my home, and I don't belong here, so what does it mean to stay here all the time? ”

I hurriedly said, "Since there is nowhere to go, why go?" With so many friends here, aren't you happy eating, drinking, and having fun together? ”

Little Momiji leaned forward, looked at me and grinned and said, "What, you can't bear me?" ”

"Of course I can't bear it," I said, "we've been friends for so long." ”

Xiao Hongye smiled reluctantly, the smile was indescribably bitter, and said: "A friend is a friend after all, no matter how good a friend is, it is impossible to stay in someone else's house for a lifetime, right?" Everyone should have their own life, and everyone should have their own family. You're getting married, what else can I do in your house? ”

I lowered my head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Xiao Hongye drank another big sip of wine in his mouth, swallowed it in several mouthfuls, and continued: "I was originally a lonely ghost, I didn't know where I came from, and I didn't even know how I died. I am destined to be adrift, and it is too much to delay with you for so long. ”

Xiao Hongye said, two lines of tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, ran down her thin melon seed face, and dripped on her pants.

The most desolate thing about a person is that in the end, he dies and becomes a ghost or a lonely ghost, forever wandering and has no place to go, so the ancients said: "A ghost is powerful if he has no support." "A lonely ghost has to endure loneliness and loneliness for a long time, lonely and helpless, unable to see hope, unable to see the end, and over time will naturally become a ghost. Don't say it's a ghost, it's a big living person, and if you go in and out of such a state for a long time, I'm afraid you'll go crazy.

"Don't say that......" I said.

Little Momiji interrupted me and said, "Once, I thought you would be my home, and I could finally find a place to stop. So I thought, I'm going to be by your side no matter what. I treat you as my relatives and this place as my home. But...... But today, when you announced that you were going to marry Guo Tingting, I suddenly realized that all this is my wishful thinking, you are not my destination after all, and this will not be my home, after all, I am still a lonely ghost......"

Little Momiji's tears poured down silently, and the clothes on his chest and the pants on his legs were wet.
