Two months later, Beijing.

The heat is coming.

Zhang Dong dragged an air cushion water tank and set up a small swimming pool in the house. Chen Yuanxi was naked, soaked in the water, and remembered that Officer Cao in the small city kept reporting that Mo Shi's people had been arrested one after another, but the people who often provided clues or provided arrests were the major wanted fugitives who killed three people a few years ago, He Fu.

Officer Cao asked about He Fu's identity several times, but Chen Yuanxi didn't say a word.

"Okay, if you're tired like this, you can come down too." Chen Yuanxi said.

Zhang Dong took off his vest, rolled over, and the two of them played in the water for a while, but they didn't notice the sound of the door lock.

When Hongxuan walked in, Chen Yuanxi was lying on Zhang Dong's body, scooping water on his head and helping him wash his hair.

Hongxuan came here to discuss Chen Yuanxi's marriage.

Chen Yuanxi told Zhao Mingjiang's last words eloquently.

"The Si people are gone." Hongxuan sighed and said, "Wenxi, I never think that there is any love between you and Zhao Yuan, love, he and you, maybe just like me and your father, are brothers in life and death." Hello for yourself. ”

"What is the right path?" Zhang Dong asked: "Uncle Xuan, if you go south and north, you can't see the world completely. ”

"People have their own laws, and naturally they have natural laws, and you are so old that you still can't understand them?" Hongxuan asked.

"You are righteous to Uncle Lin, that's you. Zhao Yuan and him, affectionate and righteous, that's them. Zhang Dong replied loudly.

"What about you and him?!" Hongxuan grabbed Zhang Dong's collar with his hand, and his tiger eyes widened angrily: "I've been looking at it coldly for so long, what about you and him?!" ”

"It is precisely because I and Wenxi are mature men that we know how to judge the world." Zhang Dong's expression was calm, and his eyes were clear and calm.

"Zhao Yuan is married! How could he figure it out! Hongxuan asked sharply.

Chen Yuanxi's face suddenly turned pale.

Only then did he know that when he didn't hear anything outside the window for the past two months, Zhao Yuan had already held a wedding with Shu Xiaoman in G City.

"Someone else gave birth to a pair of twins, and you have a successful career, and you are twenty-seven! Zhang Dong, if I'm not mistaken, you Chinese New Year's Eve one today! The two of them are nesting here all day long, doing something indecent, let me ask you, has Luo Yang subdued the law? Did Mo Qian shoot? Do you have a mind? Hongxuan couldn't help but be angry.

Zhang Dong saw that Hongxuan had become the father of his ordinary son for a while, and he couldn't help but be secretly amused.

"I didn't do anything improper, I didn't do anything serious? I'm tired and want to rest, that's all! Chen Yuanxi's face suddenly turned red at this moment, and he said angrily, but he was hit by a chestnut chisel from Hongxuan on his head.

"I didn't do anything wrong, you leave me alone!" Chen Yuanxi sat on the chair angrily, turned his face sideways and did not speak.

"It's the same kid again!" Hongxuan hadn't seen Chen Yuanxi like this for many years, and he couldn't help but be angry and funny.

"I was originally a child, I only have you as a father now, and I will always be a child in front of you!" Chen Yuanxi said goodbye.

"I can't talk to you!" Hongxuan seemed to be angry.

"Then don't talk about it, you have to be angry, lock yourself in the room, don't be in front of me!" Chen Yuanxi said simply.

Although Hongxuan has a good physical foundation, after so many years of hard work, and more than half of the year of destiny, Chen Yuanxi was very angry, and he also felt quite unwell, so he went to the inner bedroom to rest.

"He's really married this time." When Hongxuan entered, Chen Yuanxi sat in a daze, and Zhang Dong saw that his left index finger seemed to be pinched by his right hand and bleed.

Zhang Dong knew that he had no reason to speak at this moment, but when the night wind rose, he put on a coat for Chen Yuanxi, who had stood by the independent window for more than two hours.

Zhao Yuan's wedding was grand and pompous, as if everyone wanted to know that he Mr. Zhao, the president of YH Company, married a beautiful girl. The twins are both good-looking, the husband and wife at the wedding scene are affectionate, respectful of each other, and they are staggered in the banquet, so unhappy.

The bride wore a bright red evening dress, and the long skirt was charming, like a red sunset, which was extremely bright.

But the skirt suddenly began to writhe, and gradually, as if it was alive, it became a blood-red scar on Hongxuan's face, a scar on Gu Xi's forehead, and then a face appeared at the hem of the skirt, but it was the deceased Wang Xiang, who was laughing and crying.

Chen Yuanxi woke up suddenly in a nightmare, and Zhang Dong also sat up beside him.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Dong hugged Chen Yuanxi into his arms, patted his arm gently, put his chin on Chen Yuanxi's forehead, and said softly.

The door was suddenly pushed open, Hongxuan turned on the light with a puzzled expression, and when he saw this situation, his face immediately turned pale, and he saw Chen Yuanxi sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his face gradually became gentle.

Chen Yuanxi broke free of Zhang Dong and smiled at Chong Hongxuan: "It's okay." ”

"You'll never have nightmares." Hongxuan said.

"Probably, I've done too much to worry about." Chen Yuanxi smiled and wiped his sweat with a pillow towel.

Before Hongxuan closed the door, he added: "Did the pillow set an alarm clock, and suddenly kept shaking." ”

Zhang Dong smiled bitterly: "Yes, I'll be transferred when I turn around." ”

That night, Zhang Dong always pressed the pillow and didn't dare to get up again, Chen Yuanxi pillowed his arm, and gradually quieted down.

The three of them lived together for a few days, Hongxuan's mood became more and more unhappy, and finally at Zhang Dong's suggestion, the three decided to return to the town together to meet Hongxuan's daughter, Hongyan.

When he arrived at Ziyun Piano Shop, Hongxuan handed over a pinhole camera to Chen Yuanxi.

"Uncle Hongxuan, you... Really not going? Chen Yuanxi asked.

Hongxuan shook his head.

Presumably, before Hongxuan made that decision, he had already thought about it, and he was afraid that he would never see her again in this life. Hongxuan has passed by countless times, and even sneaked into the Ziyun Piano Store at one point, hiding to watch his daughter playing the piano in the house, but he has never been able to recognize each other again. Hongyan saw Hongxuan like this, what should he think, he couldn't be sure, rather than this, it would be better to say that she had gradually accepted that her father had actually died eight years ago.

Chen Yuanxi counted the numbers, and he hadn't seen his childhood playmate for more than eight years, even though he had lived in a small town for so long and passed by Ziyun Piano Store several times.

The two looked at each other and barely knew each other.

I haven't seen her for many years, Chen Yuanxi wanted to find some childhood topics and search for dry intestines, but she couldn't get the point, so she asked her about her situation over the years. Knowing that since she graduated, Chen Yuanxi transferred Ziyun Music Store to her, and she has been operating here, and has even opened two small branches in the small town.

Before long, Chen Yuanxi went straight to the point, he was eager to hear Hongyan say that she already had a sweetheart.

But Hongyan is single.

"I'm waiting for you to come back." Hongyan said with a smile.

"Wait for me?" Chen Yuanxi asked.

"If you don't come back and make it clear to me, I can't get married! Delay me for so many years! Hongyan said with a smile.

Chen Yuanxi knew that when Hongxuan had an accident, he contacted two people, one was his mother Huang Xiya, and the other was his wife, and what was conveyed was Lin Ziwei's last life.

Hongxuan took Lin Ziwei's order as a faith, and naturally hoped that Hongyan would marry Chen Yuanxi, and Hongyan had made a baby kiss with Chen Yuanxi since he was a child, which was known to both parties, and he thought that Hongyan would definitely marry. When he heard his daughter say this, he couldn't believe it.

"We haven't seen each other for more than eight years and three months, and even if you return to the town, we are finally in the midst of people coming and going, and we haven't been able to look back at each other. You don't know me, I'm not familiar with you, especially your changes, it's too big! I can only read everything about you from the news and from the newspapers, how can there be such feelings between us? Hongyan smiled lightly, and his face was slightly red.

"I have always respected Uncle Lin, and I also deplore his departure, and I will not say much about these things after all these years. But his will is only valid for you, but it can't bind me. Although Mom told me that Daddy wants me to marry you, even if I want to do what Daddy wants, I have to respect you, don't I? You see, for so many years, you didn't explain earlier, what about me, I can't marry anyone I want, Brother Wenxi, how can you compensate me? Hongyan then said playfully, two shallow dimples appeared on his face.

Chen Yuanxi couldn't help but have red eyes, and hugged Hongyan tightly in his arms: "Sister, Uncle Hongxuan is my father, you are not my little hair, not my sister-in-law, you are my own sister!" ”

"I really have two good relatives, a father, obviously I won't die, now Chen Tianjiao has been shot, he doesn't know where to flee, and he hasn't returned home for more than eight years! A brother ran to Chen's house, staged an Infernal Affairs, ruined the Chen family, and avenged Uncle Lin, has he not seen him for more than eight years, really... When Hongyan said this, his eyes turned red first, and then he sobbed softly in Chen Yuanxi's arms.

Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt that something in his heart had melted, and it became a pool of spring water microwaves, singing and chanting in the warm sunlight.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry, it's not good to be a brother, what my brother did before was too dangerous, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you." Chen Yuanxi remembered one scene after another in Hongxuan's house in a trance, remembered that when he was severely trained by Hongxuan, there was always a sister who wiped his wounds for him, and when he was sick, there was always a sweet and crooked voice haunting him. Excuse! Over the years, because of all this, she didn't take care of her for a minute, leaving her with a Ziyun piano store that seemed to be profitable.

"Brother, the letter sent back by Brother Yun Che and Sister Ziping, the photos sent back, you once explained, I can open the package. From the very first letter, you know what you mean. I've read every single one, really, every story, I know, I remember, I empathize! I shed tears with them and am happy with them, Brother Xi, I really hope that you and Brother Yuan can go all the way well, the world is very big, the time is still early, and in the future, it will be the world of our younger generation, isn't it? Hongyan said with a smile.

"They, how?" Chen Yuanxi asked.

"They have children, they are now living in the savannah of Latin America, and they say that they want to go to Antarctica soon! They said they would take lots and lots of pictures of Antarctica, they said they would take pictures of the aurora, and they said that there was the end of the earth! Hongyan hugged Chen Yuanxi tightly.

"Sister, thank you, you know all this." Chen Yuanxi intuitively felt that his mood was peaceful.

After Chen Yuanxi and Zhang Dong left, Hongyan stood at the door of Ziyun Qin Shop, holding the lost half of the pendant tightly, and tears came again.

Brother Xi, I can finally do it, I don't have to wait for you.
