After Wei Peilan said this sentence with a little smugness, Su Chengyi realized why he thought this dog was weird.

There are many such imitation dog toys on the market, and there are many lifelike and well-made.

But toys are just toys after all, and the Samoyed in front of me looks too vivid.

It's as if it's frozen at the most lively moment.

specimen

Su Chengyi staggered his eyes, not wanting to look at it again.

But Wei Peilan, who was on the side, obviously couldn't understand his reaction, she put on an expression of "why can't you understand this is a work of art", and then said with a smile as if she remembered something:

"Forget it, I don't expect you to understand.

When I saw it when I was a child, I reacted much more than you. ”

"Is this her dog?"

The moment Su Chengyi opened his mouth, his throat was a little dry.

"Uh-huh."

Wei Peilan answered, reached for the glass case, and stroked Samoyed's back in the air.

"She was always interested in these little things, and every time she passed by the pet store, she looked at them for a long time.

Every year on her birthday, she makes a wish to have a pet.

It's a pity that she can ask for stars and moons, but this can't work. ”

"Why?"

Su Chengyi took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

Is it really because of animal hair allergies? Her house is so big, and there are people cleaning it all the time, which can be completely avoided.

Wei Peilan didn't answer him, but just said to himself:

"She rarely disobeys her elders, she loves to cry and make trouble when she is a child, but she will also listen to people's reasoning, and it will be good to coax her.

Only this time.

Her classmate's big dog gave birth to a puppy, and she said that she went to see it just because she was curious, but the puppy liked her very much.

I followed her all the way, but I couldn't get rid of her. So she had to bring it back.

How long have you been hiding from me? Three months and sixteen days. Quietly kept at home. ”

“.”

Su Chengyi, who already knew what was going to happen next, could hardly bear to listen to it anymore.

But Wei Peilan didn't mean to stop at the point, and his voice was cold.

I asked her if she liked the puppy very much, and she said she liked it with certainty.

So I went on to say that the puppy will grow up and become completely different from what it is now.

In the next second, it could get sick and die. Or, it was crushed into a pulp by a car. Or, it's no longer close.

Do you want that? ”

She was frightened and cried that she didn't want to.

I said, if you don't want to, mom will teach you what to do. ”

With this, Wei Peilan smiled and stretched out his knuckles to knock on the glass door happily.

She looked at Su Chengyi through the reflection of the glass and asked:

"Are you so smart that you know what methods to use for specimens of large vertebrates?"

Of course Su Chengyi knew, but he didn't answer.

Stripping method.

The muscles, bones, internal organs, and subcutaneous fat in the carcass are completely hollowed out, leaving only the fur, scales, and horns on the body surface.

After the internal filling is done, it will be reshaped into the same way it was before death.

"I made this specimen with my own hands in front of her."

“.”

"First wash it, then peel it, put it on cotton, and sew it up.

Look at its eyes, are they beautiful? I specially commissioned someone to customize, the raw material is a genuine gemstone, and now you can sell it for money when you cut it out.

She fed this dog very carefully, it was round, and it took a lot of time just to remove the fat."

Speaking of this, Wei Peilan sighed softly.

"I thought she would like it. I didn't cry or make a fuss at the time.

After that, he was stunned for a long time, never said a word to me, and never called me mother.

Until"

She stopped talking abruptly, and there was a dead silence around her.

"Until you meet me."

Su Chengyi raised his eyes and looked at his reflection on the glass.

Wei Peilan's expression froze at first, and then pulled out a smile.

"You're really confident."

"Hmm."

"Yes, I know she likes you. And this liking lasts for a long time, probably from the age when she doesn't know what liking is.

I probably made a wrong judgment in the past.

When she had to go to a public high school for you, I thought she was a child, and after that incident, she rarely begged me.

Now for your sake, I don't want to go abroad, and I want to stay in China and waste time.

What are your thoughts on these? ”

Wei Peilan suddenly threw the question over.

Su Chengyi actually didn't want to communicate too much with people like her, and always felt that it would affect her physical and mental health, but she had already said it here.

"No matter who it is, these should have been her freedoms."

Wei Peilan sneered and asked:

"Freedom? Shouldn't she be free or not?

From childhood to adulthood, who has enjoyed these two words with the people around them? ”

"If others don't have it, she can't have it?"

Su Chengyi looked at the eyes of the Samoyed specimen, it was indeed a genuine sapphire, glowing with color under the refraction of the light.

"Even if that aside. What's the difference between her liking you and liking the dog? ”

After Wei Peilan asked this unbelievable question, her gaze at Su Chengyi suddenly became thoughtful.

？

It always felt like she was thinking about making herself into a specimen.

Or if it is not a specimen, it can be made into a vegetative person and put in the ICU.

The atmosphere around him suddenly became weird, and Wei Peilan's eyes were open, and he could see that people's backs were cold.

Even Steward Han and Uncle Gao, who were standing in the distance, couldn't help but feel a little chill.

Su Chengyi suddenly smiled, and said in a casual tone:

"The difference is that I take care of my body. I will obey the rules of the road. I will."

He paused before continuing:

"I've always liked her."

This seems to be the first time he has admitted this in front of others?

Unexpectedly, in this case, he hadn't even told Chu Tianmian himself.

Before Wei Peilan could speak, Su Chengyi continued to himself:

"It's you. I've been wondering for a long time, why is your desire to control her so strong when it comes to pets? ”

He took two steps back, his hands resting on the waist-high glass counter next to him, knuckles tapping.

Wei Peilan's expression was dark, and the objects he pointed to were two longevity locks.

The texture of gold and jade is delicate and round, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance.

One is a lotus pattern, and the other is a goldfish pattern, both engraved with the word "Fu".

Obviously a custom pair.

"I originally thought that everything here should belong to Chu Tianmian, but it doesn't seem to be, you should have had a child before, right?"

Su Chengyi propped his hands on the cold glass, waiting for her to answer.

"And even if there is, what does it have to do with pets?"

"Since you're avoiding the question, I'll just talk about it.

You should have a child who was about the same age as Chu Tianmian, but for some reason, he died.

So you imposed all the expectations and pressure on Chu Tianmian.

And often use this incident as a reason to morally kidnap and force her to listen to you.

When it comes to pet ownership, your harshness is completely unreasonable.

Because when Chu Tianmian was a child, the fundamental reason why she wanted to keep a pet was that she needed companionship.

And you, you seem to attribute the reason for the loss of that child, or the fault, to her.

So you don't allow her to show her weak side. You deprived her of the right to have a partner who grew up with. You also don't allow a critter to love her so wholeheartedly. ”

Su Chengyi finished his conclusion in one breath.

This question has indeed bothered him for a long time, and Chu Tianmian has mentioned a little bit in the love letter he wrote to him.

When I saw these two longevity locks, I suddenly had a more reasonable explanation.

"Smack, smack."

After a long silence, Wei Peilan applauded softly, as if some kind of encouragement.

"There's only one thing that's wrong. It's not that I blame her, it's that she should have taken the blame.

I was pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus. You should get the idea, right? Dizygotic twins.

They will compete for nutrients in the mother's womb, and the weaker parent will not develop well.

So her younger brother died not long after he was born. ”

"At the same time, the doctor also told me that it would be difficult for me to have children in the future.

In that case, of course I can only put all my expectations on her, am I wrong?

When I see her getting close to those animals and bantering them, I think of her own brother who hasn't had time to open his eyes to see the world.

So of course I don't want to see it, am I wrong? ”

"You may be right."

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, there was new news.

"It's Chu Tianmian who is wrong.

She shouldn't have been born as your daughter, she shouldn't have felt guilty about her own smooth upbringing, and she shouldn't have lived as you wanted to be a perfect person.

She shouldn't be so tolerant of your pathological psychology, and she shouldn't be willing to sacrifice so much of her freedom.

I shouldn't love you even after you've done so many crazy things. ”

Following the route given by the surveillance all the way to the south, when she finally found Chu Qianmian, she was sitting on the reef by the sea in a daze.

The sunset over the beach is breathtakingly beautiful, and not far away there are many people walking along the beach, bending down from time to time to collect shells.

In this beautiful atmosphere, Chu Qianmian's back was so lonely that it seemed to be dissolving in the afterglow of the sunset at any time.

She rarely gives people this feeling, and she is always full of energy and makes people feel happy on weekdays.

Su Chengyi put the box in his hand a few meters away, took off his shoes, and walked over with sea water.

When Chu Tianmian saw him, he didn't seem surprised, and smiled at him, the little tiger teeth that were inadvertently exposed were as cute as usual, but his pale face was still bloodless under the warm light of the setting sun.

Su Chengyi didn't speak, just sat down next to her.

The sun was so warm that it was no more than the ankles of the two of them.

The wind ripples the water, reflecting the sky and the setting sun, like a colorful impressionist oil painting.

Su Chengyi turned his head to look at her.

A long time ago, Su Chengyi secretly used "clear sea water" to describe Chu Qianmian's eyes.

Now that the two of them are actually on the beach, the analogy still seems very appropriate.

She looked like she was distracted, Su Chengyi tried to get closer, she didn't resist, so he took the opportunity to hang a headset on her ear.

Chu Tianmian thought that he was going to listen to the song, but for a long time, no sound came out, so he turned his head to look at him with some confusion.

Su Chengyi smiled, as if on purpose.

Chu Tianmian lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes fell softly, making people want to reach out and touch them.

"You're running a long way."

Su Chengyi stretched out his hand according to his thoughts, but he just brushed her forehead hair that was blown by the evening breeze.

It is indeed far away, and it is already a coastal city hundreds of kilometers away from Tang'an City.

Chu Qianmian shook his head and said slowly:

"I don't know, I'll just walk around."

"Hmm."

Su Chengyi didn't mean to ask her anything, because he already knew.

But she herself suddenly opened the conversation, as if to explain to him, and said intermittently:

"It's my fault. Floret: It shouldn't be like this. It could have lived a good life.

I knew I wouldn't have gone for a walk there that morning.

If it hadn't met me, if it hadn't known me, it wouldn't have been like this, would it?

I went to see where it was buried, how could such a big dog be such a small mound."

"It's not your fault."

Su Chengyi shook his head and suddenly interrupted her.

Seeing that Chu was stunned, he continued:

"Don't take the blame on yourself. You didn't do anything wrong. ”

"But."

"If I were Xiaohua, I would probably be very happy to meet you at the end of my life."

Su Chengyi raised his head and watched the sunset slowly descend on the horizon, forming a fiery circle with the reflection.

"Puppies, like humans, need to be loved."

Chu Qianmian looked at him and said softly:

"I stood in the place where Xiaohua lived and saw that the sky in the courtyard wall was boxy, and there was only a small piece.

Now it's finally escaping the wall.

But I couldn't help but wonder, what's the difference between me and it? ”

"My life is on a step-by-step track, and I can see the end at a glance.

Ever since I was a child, I have been taught that you have to be the first in everything. Everyone will only remember the first place, who will remember the second place?

But I don't want to be remembered by so many people, I just try to not disappoint them. ”

"The few rebellious moments in my life seem to end very tragically."

Chu Qianmian's head was buried lower and lower, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it seemed to be muttering to himself.

Su Chengyi gently pinched her face and forced her to raise her head to look at herself.

"Who will remember the second place? First place, of course. ”

He said this alone, and it seemed very inflated, but he said it seriously and convincingly.

The last rays of the setting sun sank into the sea, the world darkened, and the sea breeze seemed to become slightly cool at this moment.

Chu Qianmian quietly looked at the person in front of her, the night became more and more gloomy, and her vision became more and more blurred.

Tears filled her eyes, and a second before they were about to fall, she reached out and hugged him.

Su Chengyi touched the back of her head soothingly, and then felt a slight tremor from the person in her arms.

This hug lasted until the moon slowly rose above the sea level, reflecting the sea in a bright silver hue.

Su Chengyi reached out behind her ear and pressed the wire control switch of the earphones.

The prelude to "Talking to the moon" sounded.

Chu Tianmian raised his head to look at him, and his eyes were still filled with tears that glittered like pearls.

There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, this situation, Su Chengyi thought of this ancient poem.

The moon falls between the seas, and the pearl is born in the realm of tears.

In the moonlight, she was as beautiful as a little mermaid who had crept ashore.

"Your life is only up to you. Whether it is the expectations of your family or the liking of me, it should not affect your own heart, don't be bound by these. ”

"Chu Qianmian, you have to remember.

Life is a wilderness, not a track. ”
