When the footsteps faded away, I looked up at the man sitting on the couch and asked, "Tell me!" ”

The man's dark eyes did not have any emotional fluctuations, as if he said in a very light tone: "Didn't you hear them all?" I was shocked and couldn't believe it: "Gao Cheng hasn't forgotten me? Why did he ...... a month ago" The voice stopped abruptly, the voice engulfed in his throat, if he never forgot as Cheng Xiao said, there was only one reason for the indifference: he was pretending.

I looked down and looked at my white knuckles, and I didn't feel pain when my nails were pulled into my palms, because a hole had been broken in my heart, and blood was flowing. "Tell me the truth." I buried my head and asked.

Sheng Shiyao said calmly: "After you chose, I gave him the same two choices: one is to leave you soberly, and the other is to forget to leave you. He chose the first one, and it was as simple as that. ”

It's really simple, and it makes sense in just a few words. However, "why should there be such an option and not the latter directly?" Wouldn't that be the best for him? "If you forget me, you will leave, and if you leave, you will not be disturbed by my breath and go crazy, I thought that at that time, Sheng Shiyao and I reached an agreement.

But at this time, Sheng Shiyao said: "Is it really good for him?" Do you think that a person can still remember the breath of another person when he has no mind, and erasing the memory can really forget that person? ”

My heart shook, "You mean ......"

"For Chu Gaocheng, it doesn't matter if he forgets or not. Because no one in this world will forget himself, and you and him have long been with each other. Even if I do erase his memory, he will follow the smell of his own breath to find you. Rather than this, it is better to analyze the benefits and disadvantages to him when he is sober, and it is up to him to decide how to choose. ”

Therefore, without my knowledge, I thought that I was sad and parted, but in fact, Gao Cheng was more painful than me! Unfamiliar eyes, passing by indifference, I really, really don't recognize you......

Raising my head and fixing my eyes, I said word by word, "You are cruel." "And I, even more cruel, ignorant cruelty. This month's sinking pause is all wasting time, but the man doesn't know where he is drifting.

"Is it cruel?" He chuckled, the smile in his eyes, "I can't even talk about general friendship with him, why should I hand you over to him who has no self-control?" As for the cruelty you say to you, sometimes it is better not to know than to know. ”

"Then why did you play today's scene with Cheng Xiao?" I let out a low cry, "Can't you tell you mean it?" If you want to hide it, you can hide it from me, so I don't know it in this life, this life, or even until I die, so why do you need to say it again? ”

He was silent for a moment and said lightly: "It has nothing to do with Xiaoxiao, she doesn't know." But she was always worried about you, and as she said, I decided to let you know after thinking about it. ”

"But you never asked me if I wanted to know!" I roared hysterically, tears welling up, "Sheng Shiyao, who are you, just decide my life casually." "I've never sat on the floor crying like I did now, like a child who lost candy and threw a tantrum at his parents.

Cheng Xiao's voice came uneasily from outside: "Ah Yao, Xia Zhu, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Sheng Shiyao responded, then got up and walked towards me, squatted down when he came to my feet, stretched out his fingers to wipe the tears on my cheeks, and looked at me with deep eyes: "Xiao Nan, only you are the one who decides your life, and the advice I can give you is: conform to the destiny of heaven, but if necessary, then what if it is against the sky, I will help you support it when the sky falls." ”

I blinked, tears dripping down, and I couldn't help but bury my head in his arms and cry.

When the emotions finally calmed down, a hearty cry was not to vent resentment, but to the inexplicable sorrow in the depths of my heart. Withdrawing from the warmth, he raised his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "What should I call you?" "It was an impulse to call him by his name like he had just done, but I never found the right name for this month. Uncle? I can't call it out, I don't know that I was an old man in my ignorance, but I can't connect it with the old man in the face of this young face; Master? I also felt that it was inappropriate, and I knew in my heart that he had never treated me as a master and apprentice.

The black eyes sank back to their original calm, and said in a low voice: "Just follow their name and call me Brother Yao." ”

I nodded, stood up and bowed deeply to him, bent down to the end, and said sincerely, "Brother Yao, thank you." "Thank you to him for his redemption and teaching with blood back then, thank him for turning the evil situation around alone a month ago, thank him for letting me know the truth today, and thank him for the oath he made at this moment. Without waiting for his response, I turned around and walked out the door, unable to ignore the gaze staring at my back. It wasn't until I stepped out of that line of sight that I paused, my drooping eyes bright and dark, and finally walked away.

I'm not stupid, especially after listening to Cheng Xiao's story. When I met Sheng Shiyao and he was in distress, even if I had a meal for him, it was already more than a blessing to me if I gave me the bone reduction technique, so I didn't have to use my own blood to save my life. Because of kindness? No, judging from what he had just said to Takashihiro, he was not a benevolent man. And just now, he had given me such a deep vow, and if it had not been for me to him some meaning, I would never have believed that the kindness of that meal alone could treat me so sincerely.

But I don't want to break the casserole and ask to the end, the ability to judge right and wrong is still there, what is good and what is evil, and I can distinguish it. Even if I can't understand Sheng Shiyao's deep eyes, I can't see through his inner world, but I can feel his kindness to me. There is also Cheng Xiao, whether it is sympathetic to each other, because Sheng Shiyao took care of me before he became friends with me, she herself is what I appreciate and like, and she is very casual and comfortable to get along with.

When I walked downstairs, I was not surprised to see the figure standing in the courtyard.

Cheng Xiao turned his back and came over, and the slightly white sky light was not enough to see clearly, so it caused a visual conflict of half dark and half bright. I took a deep breath and walked over to her. To my surprise, she didn't ask why I was arguing with Sheng Shiyao just now, but only reached out and wrapped my hand around her, and then raised her other hand to point: "Look, the sky is bright, and the star is still there." I looked up and said softly, "That's the morning star." ”

"yes, it's always there, no matter what the light is." She turned her face to look at me, "Xia Zhu, have you thought about it?" ”

I looked at her for a few seconds and tapped my head.

When it was daylight, I walked out of Cheng Xiao's house, carrying the bags she had prepared for me and a thick dozen dollars in my pockets. She said: When you go out, whether you need it or not, it's always good to have it. As for the bags, I probably put them together when I was talking to Sheng Shiyao, and she had expected that this would be my final decision.

In addition to these, she also pointed me in the direction: west, Chucheng.

At that moment, I really felt like I had poured a five-flavor mixed bottle in my heart, and there were all kinds of flavors, but there was no sweetness. Going around and around, I left Lin Ya first, but he has always been. It's just that I suddenly understood that Sheng Shiyao would deliberately arrange this morning's "accident", and Cheng Xiaohui couldn't help but suggest that it was because the long river that extended from the canyon led to a certain sea area, and Gao Cheng would leave by ferry tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yacheng, which seems to be very ordinary, is actually a dark harbor, and there is a port that few people know about in a dark place in the long river, and no one knows what it is used for. While Sheng Shiyao and Cheng Xiao brought me back, they also arranged for someone to stay in Lin Ya and guard it secretly, if it weren't for this, it would be impossible to find out about these secret things.

It took me almost a day to get from Sioux City to Linya, and it was pitch black when I walked out of the train station. After looking around, a slightly chubby man walked in front of him, and the other party asked first: "Is it Xia Zhu?" ”

I asked defensively, "Are you ......?" ”

"I'm Zhou Tong, and my little sister asked me to pick you up. In this case, I'll give my little sister a call first and ask her to talk to you. ”

Soon, an old-fashioned mobile phone was handed over, I picked it up and put it to my ear with a little hesitation, and heard Cheng Xiao's soft voice: "Xia Zhu, that person's name is Zhou Tong, and he was asked to stay there to inquire about the news, you can rest assured." ”

I hung up the phone and handed the phone back, Zhou Tong took it and looked at my shoulder and said, "Why did my little sister get such a big backpack for you, do you need help?" I shook my head, I had seen the things in my bag, they were all camping tools, and they were very complete. It's a bit heavy, but I'm not a big lady who can't pick it on my shoulders.

Zhou Tong didn't force it, but said: "Come with me, I'll take you to eat and stay first." Turning around and leaving, I whispered from behind: "Eh, big brother, I've eaten instant noodles in the car, I'm not hungry." ”

He grinned: "Sister, if you're not hungry, I'm hungry, the cold wind has been waiting for you for two hours." ”

I didn't want to say anything more, so I got into a taxi behind him. I went to a small noodle restaurant, and Zhou Tong said that since I had eaten, he wouldn't look for a good restaurant, just mess around and fill his stomach. This man was very enthusiastic, and he didn't feel embarrassed when he kept saying that I was listening.

It wasn't until a steaming bowl of noodles was served that he stopped and began to eat without regard to the image.

I looked at this man, and suddenly I thought of Gao Cheng. It's not that there is any similarity between the two, in fact, the two are fundamentally opposite, it is to touch the time when he first met Gao Cheng at some point, and he was eating noodles in my house.

At that time, how good.

When Zhou Tong finished eating, he looked at me and was stunned, "Sister, if you don't eat, just tell me, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." ”

I shook my head, he had misunderstood. Seeing that I was silent, he said again: "Then now I'll take you to find a place to live nearby, and wait for tomorrow morning to ......" I interrupted him abruptly: "Big brother, you don't need to find accommodation, just go over now." ”

Zhou Tong was stunned, "Now in the past?" Their ship will sail at least tomorrow morning, and you're going to wait all night? ”

I looked at him and said sincerely, "Please help me." "Since Cheng Xiao said that this person is credible, then I will fully believe it. <
