The sun shines on the trees in the courtyard, the shadows of the trees are sparse, and the birds pass by, leaving their chirping. The unique welded anti-theft window takes advantage of the sunlight and shines on the shadow of the table and books, which is also chic and beautiful. Chen Momo has been here for a week. This is where Wen Zi'an and Chen Momo's biological mother lived together, and they were sisters and closest friends at that time. Time is sparse and slow, as if it has never been so cruel. But those people of twenty or thirty years ago have already loved and hated each other. Wen Zi'an brought her here when Chen Momo was a child, when her grandmother was still there, and the aunt hired by the family had not yet returned to the countryside, and there were clean and tidy flowers and trees everywhere, far less barren than now. The key to this courtyard was handed over to Chen Momo by Wen Zi'an herself, maybe she felt that only Chen Momo was the person who could really belong here. The two best sisters in the past came out of this quiet and tidy private courtyard in Shanghai, but the only one who came back in the end was Chen Momo.

The courtyard was an old-fashioned Western garden, and she remembers that when she was a child, the yard was full of beautiful red roses. Pick one and your fingers will be pierced with bright blood beads. When Chen Momo first moved in this time, it was very desolate. After my grandmother passed away, my aunt returned to her hometown in the countryside, and almost no one took care of the courtyard. The trees and grass that grew freely, and the roses were gone, but they were full of depression. Dust and dampness surround the place, just like the nasty bad mood in life. Chen Momo sat alone on the stone steps in front of the door for a while, and then walked in again. The furniture is covered with a white cover with lace trim. The bed was left with an empty board, but the iron lace headboard and the surrounding pillars were not rusty, and it looked extraordinarily gorgeous. The quilts and sheets in the cabinet had a faint musty smell like the old house, so Chen Momo took them out to dry them, and it took a long time to disassemble and wash them. In the camphor cabinet, there are clothes worn by my grandmother and mother when they were young. There are good cheongsams, chiffons, well-pleated shirts, small velvet coats with embroidery and a few wool coats. Because of the protective measures, it was placed in an insect-proof and moisture-proof camphor wood cabinet, so when Chen Mo opened it, the clothes inside were almost the same as when the owner didn't leave, except for a very large smell of camphor wood. In the sliding cabinet in the middle of the room, shoes are neatly arranged to attend various occasions and match different clothes, showing the exquisiteness of the lady in this room during her lifetime. Of course, there is jewelry, and part of it is given to the aunt in the countryside as severance pay according to the will. The other part is placed in a large jewelry box made of rosewood. Wen Zi'an didn't come to move. Even in the most difficult times, she didn't touch these things. Not to mention Chen Momo's long-passed biological mother. Chen Momo just briefly browsed the general things in the room, and after reading them, he gently dropped the lock, so that these things would continue to be sealed here.

She cleaned out a room, which was the same room she had stayed in with Wen Zi'an when she came over. Scrubbed the furniture throughout the house and the places she was going to use. The bath is made of wood, which is a bit old, but the shape of the wood is not deformed by the soaking of the water, but it is very strong. Chen Momo was alone, and without the help of his aunt, he couldn't boil so much water to take a bath. But it doesn't matter, fifteen minutes walk nearby, there is a lively public bathhouse. But sometimes, she just boils a pot of boiling water and wipes her body.

Chen Momo gradually settled here, as the granddaughter of the hostess of the room. When I go out to buy groceries, I will be greeted by an old grandmother who has lived nearby for many years. From a certain point of view, Chen Momo looks a little like Wen Zi'an, and a little like her biological mother who died prematurely. "I don't believe anyone else, this little girl really looks like she was carved out of a mold, and she looks so similar to Jing Jing'an, like two people working together." An An is probably Wen Zi'an's nickname when she was a girl, and Jingjing is probably worthy of being the mother that Chen Momo has never met.

She cleared the yard of barren weeds and bought rose seeds. The porcelain pots in the yard are so good-looking, but the flowers inside are withered. Chen Momo went to the market to buy new flowers and plant them in such a beautiful pot. On the third day of staying, the whole yard had a new feeling. There is a piano in the room. When Chen Momo was a child, he listened to Wen Zi'an play. has been clamoring to learn, but Wen Zi'an doesn't teach, and she has never had the opportunity to learn. Vaguely just a few notes played on the piano piecemeal. According to the grandmother who used to come to the house to deliver food, Wen Zi'an and her sisters in the girlhood often played together in this house, "That voice is really as good as nature." ”

Chen Chun didn't know there was such a place. He seems to be the biggest failure of Wen Zi'an's life, Wen Zi'an has never mentioned such a son to outsiders. But for Chen Momo, she doesn't know whether she has an attitude of hatred or love, but she often stays by her side when Chen Momo is young and takes her to the house here in Shanghai. To Chen Chun, Wen Zi'an only said that she took Chen Momo to her grandmother's house in the countryside. But Chen Chun would never know that his grandmother's house in the countryside he hated was such an exquisite mansion in Shanghai. Chen silently thought, in fact, Wen Zi'an didn't love Chen Chun's father.

She didn't want to face Chen Chun, the kind of step-by-step pressure that she could achieve fame in order to be promoted. At the same time, she also felt that she couldn't face tonight, because one day, tonight would know her identity, maybe she would know her identity by now. She didn't want to hurt tonight, and she didn't want to get herself involved in a dispute over right and wrong. The life in the Shanghai mansion seems to be a paradise far away from the world, which makes Chen silently feel a feeling of "long years in the mountains". She sometimes thinks of tonight, the man who is not tall, but has a fatal attraction to her. I don't know why, for tonight, Chen Momo always has a feeling that she has known him in her previous life, and that sense of familiarity makes her involuntarily feel a sense of intimacy when she and tonight are together. But so coldly, looking at it from a distance, Chen silently began to reflect, is she real, does she like tonight so much in her heart? Or is it just because of a familiar feeling that you can't help but want to get closer?

Chen Mo couldn't see through his heart.

When she put everything in order, bought a few books for herself, and sat on the big wooden table by the window to read, she found herself in a daze. Is it a kind of evasion? disappeared inexplicably without saying hello to anyone, although turning off the phone can avoid her brother's endless harassment, but what about the one who slept in the ward and stayed by her side when she was sick? I must be worried about her now. Chen Momo didn't know what kind of feelings she had for tonight, one thing was for sure, when she remembered that tonight because she was worried, she was very distressed when she stayed by her bedside with a scruffy beard. She turned on her phone and found that she was in arrears. Just wander around the quiet alleys of Shanghai, find the nearest haberdashery store, and recharge your mobile phone. In the evening, when the sky is hazy, middle school students ride their bicycles and fly by, like birds returning home. In the alley in the distance, there is white smoke gradually rising when cooking, which is very smelly, the smell of home. That is the life that Chen Momo yearns for the most, ordinary and ordinary, but it is so heartwarming.

The owner of the grocery store was a chubby, middle-aged man, with thinning hair on the top of his head, and in the small TV behind the glass case, the news broadcast of this time period, he was eating a bowl of rice with vegetables. Chen Momo was very skeptical that such a place could be recharged with his mobile phone, but fortunately, the boss sat on the computer in the corner, and his fingers dexterously charged Chen Momo's mobile phone. After a while, the SMS will prompt that the recharge is successful. Chen Momo found that there were many text messages sent one after another, only one or two tonight, more of Chen Chun's almost hysterical text messages and all kinds of coercion and temptation, Chen Momo did not have an approximate number, but at a glance, there were more than forty, not to mention the phone calls during this time. She chose to automatically ignore Chen Chun's text messages and phone calls, and only pointed at the number tonight, edited for a long time, and typed a long paragraph about sorry, but in the end, the message showed that it was only one line of words that had been sent.

"I want to be alone and don't worry."

Tonight is still dealing with some things as usual, and the phone is usually turned on and muted on the desktop. He no longer had any hope that Chen Momo would take the initiative to contact him, and after knowing the truth of the whole matter, he also began to be a little cautious about this relationship, and he didn't wait for news stupidly with his mobile phone like he did a few days ago. When he was working, he was very attentive, and in the evening, Chen silently sent a text message, and he didn't see it until the early hours of the morning when he finished his work. The first two are routine work text messages, as well as various message prompts from news software on the mobile phone, when you swipe to the bottom layer, tonight as if you can't believe your eyes, staring at that line of simple words, as if you can see a hole through the mobile phone.

"I want to be alone and don't worry."

What strange ideas can a person come up with when he is quiet? Tonight never believed that Chen Momo could come up with anything, although he still respected it on the surface, but at this time, Tonight knew that the most effective thing was not to reply to anything, quickly find out the location of Chen Momo's phone, and then come to her side.

When he called his men, his hands were a little shaky. At this time period, it is almost dawn in the early morning, and it is really too much to ask the other party to check the location of a mobile phone number at that time. The person who could hear the phone answering was a little sleepy, but at this time, he couldn't wait tonight, and he couldn't wait to see Chen Momo, "Help me check a number." ”

If the other party can be careful, he will hear that tonight, who has always been known for his calmness, his voice is shaking.

Chen silently sent a text message for a while, but there was no reply tonight. She is still secretly suspicious, probably because her identity has been exposed, she is monitoring Du Yu's affairs for her brother, and the affairs of her adoptive father and brother have deterred her tonight. hasn't replied for so long, probably at this time it's not a problem that Chen Momo wants to escape, but probably won't pay attention to her tonight. It's already too much to escape by yourself, and then you still have such a background, even if you are a normal ordinary man, you will feel that you can't accept it. Chen Mo thought like this, feeling a little lost in his heart, and of course he was also very sad. When cooking at night, fresh vegetables and juice splashed from the oil pan scalded a small piece of the skin on her hands, but Chen Momo felt that what was even more sad was in her heart. She comforted herself and thought that if she chose to be with her tonight, she would feel pressured. In this way, it is good that you don't have to think about it so much. If she can keep running away like this, she can live the ordinary life she wants.

Chen Momo had such a worried and complicated mood that he didn't fall asleep until very late. The next day she didn't wake up as early as before, and after a simple wash, she found that there were severe dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she had not slept well last night. Chen silently packed up and was about to go out for breakfast, when he suddenly wanted to glance at the time on his phone. As if there was an arrangement in the dark, a phone call came tonight at this time.

"Hey......?" Tonight's low and magnetic voice came from the phone, and Chen Momo immediately heard that it was him. The anxiety and uneasiness that had accumulated for a night were instantly replaced by grievances, as if the person who abandoned people was tonight instead of Chen Momo, who had red eyes and a sour nose.

"Bastard." Chen Momo couldn't help but scold, "I miss you so much...... I miss you so much, I'm so nervous, I don't know what to do, but why haven't you come to me for so long? ”

"Hmm." Tonight's cold heart seemed to melt in an instant, and he stood in the noisy waiting room of the high-speed rail station, but it seemed to be as warm and comfortable as if he had just taken a bath from a hot spring, "I'm going to go over to find you, this time, don't run, okay?" Tonight, he thought that he must have gone crazy, and before receiving Chen Momo's news, he was cautious and considerate, but when he really received a little bit of news about her, he couldn't control himself and went back to Chen Momo's side. This morning, tonight, who has always loved work, asked for leave for the first time, handed over all the things at hand to Su Qian, and set the earliest high-speed train. As long as it takes two hours, his Chen Momo can reappear in front of his eyes, how happy it is.

"Which high-speed rail station?" Chen asked silently.

Tonight told her about the station where the high-speed train arrived, and finally like a child begging for candy, "If you can, can you pick me up?" I really want to see you sooner. Chen was silent for a while, her heart was indescribably happy, and her crying face was instantly full of smiles, "Okay." ”
