Chapter 12: Persuasion to Return
For the next many days, Li Tang ate and drank in the world of poetry and moon, and Shi Mo also went to join in the fun from time to time when he was reading books during the day, but most of the time he was joking with the disciples in the sect, and at night he watched the games between the martial arts in front of the TV, from the first season to the fifth season, and ate while watching. In this way, after a period of time, Li Tang also gained a few pounds solidly.
- The third day of the Lunar New Year
"Lean on ......" Li Tang looked at the number displayed by the scale, and his face was covered with black lines.
Shi Mo put away the book, looked at it with a smile, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "It's quite a standard figure, what kind of expression do you have." β
Li Tang wanted to cry without tears: "Brother...... I've gained six pounds......"
Shi Mo glanced at Li Tang seriously, and then said sincerely: "I'm really not fat." β
Li Tang shook his head and said: "I was really born from sorrow and died in peace, I can't go on like this anymore, I've been playing in H City for almost a month, I should also go." β
"And where are you going next?" Shi Mo didn't stop him, he got along with Li Tang for so long, and he also had a rough idea of Li Tang's personality in his heart.
Let me think about it, "In the past five years, Li Tang has been to a lot of places, and if there are any places left that he hasn't visited, he really has to think about it, "Every time I go to a place, I have to stay there for several weeks, so I have seen a lot of things that should be seen......"
"Have you ever thought about going back?" Shi Mo asked.
"Go back? Return...... City B? Li Tang smiled, "I will go back every year!" β
"But don't you stay for a few days every time you go back? Do you really see the changes in City B? Shi Mo said softly, "Sometimes, the best way to pursue freedom is not to leave, but to stay." β
After Li Tang heard this, he was stunned for a long time.
"I didn't leave because I didn't like freedom...... It's just ......" Li Tang recalled the past, and his heart was depressed, in that city, in addition to the restaurant, there was also Liu Ming and Lin Xize, there seemed to be nothing worthy of his nostalgia, oh yes, now there is one more Huang Leilei.
"Escape is not the way, in the month you are in Shiyue Tianxia, I slowly figured out your character, and I guessed why you didn't want to stay there," Shi Mo said gently, "Not only because of disgust, but also because of reluctance, and it is precisely because of reluctance that you have been pretending to stay unintentionally." β
Li Tang lowered his head, and his fists gradually clenched.
"If Li Xun was still here, he wouldn't want to see you like this."
This sentence, like a strong electric current, slammed into Li Tang's heart, making his pupils suddenly close. At that moment, he seemed to see his boss standing in front of him, smiling softly and warmly, the boss patted his head lightly and said: "Xiao Tang, in the future, if you have anything you want to do, just let it go, you are still so young, don't let down your enthusiasm." β
This is what Li Changchang often said to him, but now, it is hidden in his memory, and he has hidden it for five years. In the past five years, he has never set foot in Li Xun's room, nor has he ever gone to a incense stick for him on Qingming Festival, not because Li Tang is too desperate, but because he can't face the bloody past, Li Xun clearly said that he came back from buying delicious food on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and they kept the New Year together as in previous years, and when the bell rang at twelve o'clock, Li Tang crossed the timeline of the previous year, and Li Xun's heartbeat stopped forever on the last day of that year.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Shi Mo didn't say anything more, put down a gift box on the table, and walked away.
Li Tang came back to his senses after a long time, he gently picked up the slender gift box, opened it and took a look, only to see a jade flute as smooth as snow lying quietly in the soft fine grass in the box, opening the fine grass, and hiding a small note at the bottom of the box, which read: Li Xun love things.
Li Tang was stunned.
He knew that his boss's favorite thing was a, and he liked to wipe his jade flute in the room when he had nothing to do, but Li Tang never cared too much about this kind of thing, and Li Xun rarely held Xiao to show people, so Li Tang didn't have a very deep impression of this Xiao, but ...... How could it be in Shi Mo's hands.
At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and Li Tang answered it without thinking about it.
"Damn?! Did you answer the phone? Liu Ming, who originally had the mentality of giving it a try, was suddenly shocked, wondering if his status in Li Tang's heart was extraordinary, and then, Li Tang's words extinguished the fire of narcissism that he was about to move.
"Huh? Which one are you? Li Tang frowned, glanced at the caller's name, was stunned, and then hung up mercilessly.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Ming was petrified.
After Li Tang hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, he was still looking for a reason to go back, but because of this phone call, Li Tang's heart knot seemed to be loosened inexplicably. He glanced at the jade flute in the box, gently tugged it into his arms, took a deep breath, and walked towards Shi Mo's room.
"Huh?" Shi Mo seemed to be a little surprised by the speed at which Li Tang figured it out, and thought to himself, being young is good.
"Brother Shi, in fact, I haven't seen the scenery over the years, but I still can't find a stable place, so I want to try to go back, stay for a while, stay longer, like you said, stay." Li Tang said.
Shi Mo said: "Really think about it?" You're too fast, I've only comforted you for a few minutes, according to the general plot, you have to struggle for a while first, and then go back at the end. β
"Anyway, I still have to go back after the struggle, so it's better to go back now."
"Reasonable," Shi Mo handed him a ticket, "This ticket back to City B is for you." β
Li Tang took the ticket and saw that it was three o'clock this afternoon, and now it was twelve o'clock at noon.
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't be too impressed." Shi Mo patted him on the shoulder.
Li Tang couldn't cry or laugh: "You ...... too." It's too fast......"
"It's Deputy Head Lin who wrote to say that this is the case for you." Shi Mo smiled, "Your friend really knows you. β
"It turned out to be him......" Li Tang raised his forehead.
"Then I'll sort it out, during this time, thank you Brother Shi for taking care of me." Li Tang bowed, and then went back to the room to pack his bags.
Shi Mo looked at Li Tang's back, thoughtful, at this time, Wang Wenyi stepped forward and asked: "Boss, Brother Li's side of the matter, I have already asked Deputy Head Lin for clarification, ......what do you think?"
"Send someone to keep an eye on it," Shi Mo squinted slightly, "Don't let those people take advantage of it." β
"Okay."
"I'm sorry for you," Shi Mo chuckled, "and I asked you to work overtime for the New Year." β
"Master, where are you?" Wang Wenyi smiled and went down to do something.
- Ba Boxing Hall
Liu Ming shouted: "Lao Lin Lao Lin, do you think Shi Mo can have a way to get Li Tang back?" β
"Yes, what we can't say, it's good for Master Shi to say it." Lin Xi said this, but his eyes couldn't help but sweep out the window, knowing that it was not so fast, but he was looking forward to it.
"That's good, this kid, he's been wandering for five years, and he still refuses to come back, it's really unreasonable, and I'm going to tie him up if I say anything today." Liu Ming said indignantly, "And you dare to hang up on me!" Hum! β
When Lin Xi heard this, he smiled lightly: "It's right to hang up your phone...... Hey, by the way, why did you come to me, don't you go home to accompany your parents for the Chinese New Year? β
"It's all a city, what is there to accompany," Liu Ming snorted coldly, "They refused to learn martial arts at the beginning, and they beat me, but now it's good, showing off everywhere with me as the head, and saying that they want to give me a blind date, I don't want it!" β
Lin Xi sneered: "You are so obscene, which girl is willing to give it to you?" β
"!" Liu Ming threw an orange at Lin Xi irritably, "I didn't watch you on duty, I came to accompany you, and the sincerity of labor and management was thrown into the wind by you like this." β
"Then why don't you go and accompany your deputy head of the family? Anyway, he won't go home for the New Year? Lin Xi took a sip of tea and asked.
When Liu Ming heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to cover Lin Xize's mouth, lowered his voice as much as possible, and said, "Don't always mention the family, Liu Bing is ......."
Liu Ming looked around vigilantly, and Lin Xi said helplessly: "It's just the two of us today, just let go of what you have." β
Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't have any home or reunion in front of Liu Bing, when he was nineteen years old, he had no home." β
"What?" Lin Xi was stunned, he looked at Liu Ming in surprise, "How can this be?" How did I not know? β
"Of course you don't know, I was so close to him that I knew that he hadn't had a home since nineteen, and I don't know why." Liu Ming sighed and said, "It seems that the family has changed, and at first Liu Bing was a protΓ©gΓ© of Shiyue World, and then he changed the sect and came to the Divine Sword Gate." β
"Wow......" Lin Xi sighed, "Do you all have a tragic past?" β
"Fuck off!"
Lin Xi didn't have so much energy to think about Liu Bing for the time being, he was now communicating with Shi Mo, wanting to work together to find out the eyeliner in the shadows of the Martial Sect Organization Department, after all, they had a hunch that these people were very unfavorable to Li Tang.
At this time, when Li Tang, who had just gotten on the high-speed train, found his seat, his jaw almost dropped. Shi Mo is too polite, Mrs. is too polite, he set a business seat for Li Tang, and Li Tang usually rarely even sits on the high-speed rail, let alone such an expensive workshop.
Just as he was thinking about it, a man dressed in black hurriedly bumped into him, and the box containing the jade flute in Li Tang's arms also fell to the ground. The man glanced back, and was about to leave without saying a word of sorry, and Li Tang didn't pay attention to it so much, just picking up the boss's favorite things.
"No quality." A young man glanced at Li Tang and coldly popped out such a word from his mouth.
The man in black was stunned, then turned around angrily and said, "What did you say?" β
The young man glanced at him, his eyes were extremely cold, and Li Tang found that the young man had a calmness that did not match his age.
