Chapter 4: Chance Encounters in the Cemetery

"Miss Jiang, I've come to see you."

The cemetery was deserted, and Mu Yao's words seemed to have fallen into the abyss, and he didn't get any response.

But she didn't care, on the contrary, Mu Yao liked it here. On the tombstone in front of her, the beautiful woman in the photo is looking at her with a smile, just like when she was alive.

Mu Yao stretched out his hand to wipe the tombstone: "In the past, when my parents were not at home, you took care of me, but now, let me take care of you." ”

She looked down and saw the red roses she had brought, fiery and hot, bright as a fire.

"Miss Jiang, every time I bring a bouquet of red roses to see you, I am treated as a monster by others. You and Brother Lin Jue, like this red rose, it blooms red and gorgeous, how beautiful it is, but unfortunately now it is not fashionable, people think it is cheesy, and the flower language is not as good as the new varieties of white roses and blue roses. ”

"But I like it very much, Miss Jiang, do you remember, Brother Lin Jue gave me a pot of red roses."

In the face of endless silence, Mu Yao also suddenly quieted down.

She stared at the gentle and beautiful woman in the photo, and suddenly she was speechless, and she said a lot of words ramblingly, but the words she wanted to say the most were so difficult, like sand grinding down her throat, and it was always difficult to speak.

I don't know how long it took for her to finally find her courage, take a deep breath and say, "Miss Jiang, I'm married to Brother Lin Jue." ”

At that moment, I don't know where it touched, her tears suddenly flowed, confused and aggrieved.

"It was all so sudden, I didn't know why he wanted to marry me, but I married him anyway. He asked me to marry him, and I couldn't refuse, even if I didn't know why, even if I knew that he didn't like me, but as long as I thought of marrying him, when I thought of having this opportunity, I didn't care about anything, I didn't care about anything. Mu Yao's mind was in a mess, he was incoherent, crying and laughing: "But we just got married, and we didn't even eat a meal together, so he hurriedly went abroad. Miss Jiang, you see, I didn't listen to you, I chose the strangest and most difficult path, and I was confused, like those fools you often laugh at. ”

A gust of wind blew gently, and Mu Yao remembered that when Gu Linjue finally reluctantly cut his love and decided to give her the red roses he raised, Miss Jiang on the side said with a smile: "Yaoyao, if you receive Xiao Jue's roses, you will be our Xiao Jue's people in the future!" ”

Before Mu Yao could be shy, he saw Gu Linjue hand Miss Jiang an eye knife and blamed: "Yaoyao is still young." ”

Before the smile reached the corner of her mouth, it was dissipated because of this sentence.

He had never treated her like a child.

She took out the key from the pocket of her windbreaker, looked at the key, and the tears on her face had not yet dried, and she was already grinning: "Miss Jiang, look, this is the key to our family, and in the future, I will be Mrs. Gu." ”

Although she was aggrieved and confused, she was really happy.

When he left, it was already twilight, and Mu Yao watched the fiery red sun slowly sink and the surroundings gradually darkened.

She got up and walked down the mountain, and suddenly turned back as if she had sensed something, only to see a slender figure standing on the steps several steps higher than her.

He gradually approached, and in a black trench coat, emerged from the darkness, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly to her.

Mu Yao's clenched heart relaxed slightly.

He bowed slightly: "Miss Mu, what a coincidence." ”

Mu Yao asked, "Mr. Qi, are you a vampire?" ”

Always haunts in the dark.

Qi Cang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"I just like the dark than when you look at the deceased with a bouquet of red roses."

Each other, both of them behave strangely in the eyes of others.

Mu Yao smiled and sighed, ready to turn on the lighting of his mobile phone, but found that it had already been turned off without power.

She looked up at Qi Cang, and he shrugged: "Come and see the old man, how can I be distracted, so I didn't bring my mobile phone." ”

He had just walked down, and indeed there was no light in sight.

"Don't be so depressed, take a closer look, there is still moonshine."

Mu Yao followed his gesture to look, remembering that she was at her grandparents' house when she was a child, and the moonlight was clear, illuminating the mountain roads like mirrors.

It's just that after watching the lights for a long time, I forgot the brightness of the moonlight.

Qi Cang walked in front with long legs, and Mu Yao followed behind him.

Looking at his familiar appearance, Mu Yao couldn't help but ask, "Do you come often?" ”

"Not often, my uncle also pointed out that I set aside time for him to do some business, but it is not uncommon for me to offer melons and dates." Qi Cang said it very lightly.

"Oh, that's it." Mu Yao responded in a low voice, and there was nothing to say.

After being silent for a while, Qi Cang suddenly said, "You and Gu Linjue are here to see the same person." ”

He ...... Do you come often? ”

So how come they never met?

Qi Cang shook his head: "I've only been here once, and it will be a long time before I come here again." ”

"Yes, he went to Germany to study, and it won't be a year before he comes back." Mu Yao sighed along with his words.

Qi Cang glanced back at her.

Mu Yao was furious by him, and couldn't help but stop his steps.

Qi Cang also stopped, although he was a few steps lower than her, he was even taller than her, which made Mu Yao feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Do you think Gu Linjue is a smart person?"

"Of course." Mu Yao replied without hesitation.

Qi Cang pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled weirdly: "It's a pity that there are too many smart people in this world. ”

Mu Yao looked at him puzzled, Qi Cang's hand in his trouser pocket moved, and he probably wanted to take a cigarette, but considering her, he still gave up, and only said: "It's good with Gu Linjue, he is very good to you." ”

Mu Yao's curiosity was aroused: "Can I ask, how did you and Brother Lin Jue meet?" ”

Qi Cang smiled, revealing snow-white teeth: "We are brothers with different surnames, do you believe it?" ”

Mu Yao's eyes widened and he looked at him in surprise.

She and Gu Linjue have known each other for so long, how could she not know that he still has a brother?

"I am a student of Gu Linjue's father." He said: "Master and apprentice are like father and son, so we are also brothers, don't you say?" ”

Mu Yao nodded suddenly in realization: "I haven't seen his father, and I don't know about this matter." ”

Gu Linjue's father died unexpectedly in a car accident when he was fifteen years old, and Mu Yao certainly never saw it.

"Don't worry, slowly you'll know more things." Qi Cang said.

He turned around, looked at the cemetery, and asked her, "Did you hear that?" There are many grievances here, and their grievances have not been dispersed, and they have not stopped in the middle of the night, shouting for the people who want to live to seek justice for them. ”

Mu Yao followed his guidance to see, the cemetery at night looked particularly gloomy, and the tombstones were arranged there in black, as if through these cold stones, behind the flickering glowing ghost fire, countless pairs of eyes were secretly looking at her, as if she was in a nightmare, and in a trance, she could really hear a faint moaning call.

A gust of cold wind blew, Mu Yao shivered, and suddenly came to his senses, only to feel that the cold penetrated his bones, and he was cold all over his body, and he subconsciously wrapped his windbreaker tightly.

She turned back with a pale face, only to find that Qi Cang had been looking at her.

"I'm sorry," Qi Cang said, "I didn't mean to scare you. ”

But he was clearly unapologetic.

Mu Yao didn't know what he meant, so he nodded hastily: "It's windy on the mountain, let's hurry up." ”

She was really frightened, she was chilled, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and she didn't dare to say anything to Qi Cang anymore, until he turned on the music in the car, she felt a little better.

Qi Cang sent her downstairs, leaned on the car and smoked a cigarette before taking out his mobile phone to make a call.

"How's going on over there?" He got straight to the point.

"Just got some eyebrows." Gu Linjue's voice came, slightly tired.

"There's only one year, so I can only work hard for you." Qi Cang extinguished the smoke: "I met your little girl in the cemetery today." ”

There was silence before asking, "How is she?" ”

"I haven't entered the game yet, so I won't be able to say what will happen now, and I can't say for sure in the future." Qi Cang looked up and saw that the lights on the sixteenth floor were on, and continued: "Young Master Gu, you are moving very fast, you just got married and went to Germany, and you are reluctant to invite me to drink even a glass of wedding wine?" ”

When he heard Mu Yao's address today, he knew what was going on.

"You still can't help it, you want to involve her."

"It's not what you think, I've been thinking about this for a long time," Gu Linjue said, "I really can't wait any longer." ”

Qi Cang didn't speak.

After enduring it for so long, why can't you wait?

"Even if we're pretty sure, it's going to take time, and she's not necessarily going to wait for me."

Since Mu Yao's blind date, he has endured to the limit. What's more, she was entangled by that scum again, and so many things happened, how could he dare to wait any longer?

Qi Cang looked at the night sky, exhaled, suppressed his addiction to smoking, and asked, "You are in a hurry to tie her to your side and protect her under your wings, but have you ever thought that you are also exposing your weaknesses in front of others?" ”

He paused and said coldly: "Gu Linjue, this is fatal. ”

"How long can you protect her in the current situation? How long can you protect her? ”

Gu Linjue chuckled: "Qi Cang, I can protect her for a while." can protect her for the rest of her life. ”

Word by word, loud and loud, the man's tone is gentle, but there is a thousand weights.

Qi Cang paused, and also laughed: "Okay, Gu Linjue, as a man, I admire you." ”

"—but as a partner, I'd like to see how far you can go."

This sentence, the smile does not change, but it is cold.

He hung up the phone, looked at the lights on the side of the road, and remembered that 20-year-old Gu Linjue was standing in front of him: "Then we are partners." ”

Qi Cang asked him: "You have a comfortable life, what are you doing in this troubled water?" ”

Gu Linjue said: "Like you, I also have people to protect at all costs. ”

Qi Cang laughed: "You haven't learned a little bit about the teacher's demeanor, but the Lin family is full of hypocrisy." ”

But it's different.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked up again at the sixteenth floor, where the lights had been turned off.

Qi Cang turned around and left in the night.
