dead innocent

He Cheng must have been really angry and sad, his voice was trembling.If you listen carefully, you can also hear his undulating intonation, and trembling and rough nasal voice.

Chu Xingyun's back froze, and he held the doorknob and remained silent for a while.

He Cheng's red eyes were as deep and sharp as two sharp swords, almost piercing through his body, and his tone was so dignified and forceful that it seemed to contain a lot of raging anger: "You are sorry for me, but You can’t make it up to me, where did you get the confidence to think you can make it up to me? Do you really think you can make it up to me? You don’t even know what I want, how can you make it up to me! You keep saying that I treat you as a servant , What have I done to you since I was a child to make you think you are my servant? I used to trust you, rely on you, cling to you all day long, I don’t trust anyone but you! You think I’m trusting a servant What?! Where are your eyes, Chu Xingyun? Where is your heart? Who do you regard me as yours? Attached? Responsibility? A burden? Or that stupid and ridiculous child who was betrayed by you? Chu Xingyun Listen carefully, I will only say these words once, don't always think that I am still a child who is stupid and ignorant of the world. You are right, we have grown up, I am an adult now, I have my own emotions and desires , the kindness you have done to me is useless, I have passed the age when I am satisfied and happy when I am fed a piece of candy by you, don’t try to compensate me with these things! If you really want to compensate me, then——use yourself Come pay!"

He Cheng was really angry, as usual, with his proud and indifferent personality, how could he say these words, let him guess with his eyes.Layer after layer of backlog was accumulated in his heart, and it was only a complete catharsis until today. He Cheng was right, he had always thought that he was self-sufficient and used his own way to treat him well, and he didn't know what he really was. What do you want.From the moment he returned to Yinjiang and He Cheng accepted him back to his side, he tried his best to treat him well, using the old way.But he forgot that He Cheng is no longer the young master he used to be, and he doesn't need one more person to share his worries and problems, he has no shortage of such people.

Then why did He Cheng accept him back and enclose him by his side?

Chu Xingyun's mind is very messy, and any intricate and intertwined cases have not made him as troubled and troubled as he is now.

Over time, his shoulders collapsed, he held the doorknob and sighed, turned his back to He Cheng and said with a helpless and powerless smile: "I know that you are brooding over what happened back then, and you still hate me. If you make up for it or not, I am the only one." It doesn't matter what people say, it doesn't matter if you don't mean it if I want to..."

"After all these years, who cares nothing!"

He Cheng seemed to have released all the words, all the anger, all the restlessness from his heart.

"Do you dare to say that you put your heart into it? You only see what you have done to me. You think you are good to me. You keep every stroke in your heart. When you face me, there is something in your eyes. Me, Chu Xingyun, can you see me? No! You only have that account in your heart, and you are by my side just to write off the account. One day, all the sums you owe me will be bought and sold, and you will be free. Leave me without hesitation, do you dare to swear that you put your heart into me, do you dare!"

These words, every word, become an arrow, Chu Xingyun is like a scarecrow used to borrow arrows, because he has a mission, so he can't avoid it, let alone fight back.The one who shoots arrows at him is not his enemy, but the person he has been trying to protect and truly loves with all his heart.But this person was questioning him at this time, no matter what angle He Cheng questioned him from, it was because he didn't trust him.

Maybe he was really wrong, He Cheng didn't hate him, but just didn't trust him, his people, let alone his heart.

With a wound on his back, Chu Xingyun wanted to leave this place, so he opened the door...

'boom! ' There was a cracking sound, similar to the sound of glass products being smashed to the floor, but the sound was thicker and louder than glass.

Chu Xingyun looked back, and there were fragments spread out on the floor beside the dining table, and under the illumination of the light, there were bunches of crystal clear halos. He was familiar with this kind of light. When he accompanied Yang Shu to buy earrings, those jewels That's it, but the light in front of me is like a star falling from the sky, broken into pieces, and emitting the light brought from the Milky Way.

He Cheng stood beside the debris on the ground, gradually regaining his composure, his glasses were also shining under the lamp, and the halo covered his eyes, making him look extraordinarily cold: "You walked out of this door today , I can’t come back.”

Chu Xingyun was dazed for a while before realizing that he was being threatened. He was used to pretending to be his grandson in front of He Cheng, but it only existed at the playful level. If He Cheng taught him the truth, he must be Those who refuse to give in half a step may be due to professional habits, but whenever he becomes serious, he must discuss right and wrong with the other party.

He frowned and stared at He Cheng for a while, but He Cheng pretended to be too calm and cold, no clue could be seen from his face.There were water-like spots on his lenses, making him look like he was wearing a mask.

Chu Xingyun put down the cat blue in his hand, walked up to He Cheng, but was taken away by the starlight shining on the dining table.

Oh, it turned out that what He Cheng threw was a cup. There was a wooden box on the dining table, and there were nine star-studded wine glasses in the wooden box.Each one is like a work of art, with so many facets that it has its own spotlight effect. Even if the lights are turned off now, with a ray of moonlight leaking in from the window, these exquisite works of art will illuminate the whole room.

He picked up a glass, the cold and smooth texture told him that it was some kind of valuable crystal, he took another look at He Cheng, then raised his hand and threw the glass to the ground!

He didn't know if He Chenggang was hesitant when throwing the cup, but he was hesitant anyway.But the matter has come to this point, and when it comes to this, He Cheng's provocation against him is imminent, and he must respond to fight back, and he cannot end up in embarrassment like a prisoner under his control.

The crystal cup smashed into the corpses of the same kind and merged with them in an instant. The starlight on the ground became brighter in an instant, and was even dazzled by the chandelier on the top.

Chu Xingyun moved his eyes away from the dazzling starlight, rubbed his thumb against the smooth and cold residual temperature on his fingertips, and said to him: "Since you don't trust me so much, what is the value of my leaving behind?" ?”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave again, when he suddenly heard gold and broken jade falling behind him, the sound of several wine glasses shattering overlapped and almost pierced the eardrums.

Chu Xingyun's figure froze, his back felt cold, and he could see the messy crystal corpses all over the place without turning his head.

He Cheng's voice was unexpectedly calm, he said: "If you walk out of this door tonight, I will never forgive you."

Chu Xingyun was very puzzled, he didn't know whether He Cheng was persecuting him or keeping him.But no matter what, he couldn't stay. He Cheng had already pushed him to the edge of the cliff, but he stretched out his hand to make him come back. His toughness and stubbornness made him prefer to jump off rather than take a step back to hold his hand.

Without saying a word, he picked up the cat basket and left immediately. He didn't come back to his senses until he entered the elevator, and then recalled what He Cheng said just now. He Cheng dropped the cup, and his hands and feet felt cold, and his whole body trembled.

The elevator quickly went down to the first floor. He stepped out of the elevator and walked out to the entrance of the lobby. It was a mild summer day in April, but he was shivering all over his body, trembling like walking in a world of ice and snow. His hands and feet were cold. Gritting his teeth tightly, he walked out quickly, as if some scourge was chasing him behind him.

"Captain Chu?"

As soon as Xiao Shu pushed open the revolving door, he saw Chu Xingyun hurriedly walked with his head wrapped in cold air, and almost bumped into him. He thought that Chu Xingyun was sick, so he quickly helped Chu Xingyun's shoulder: "It's okay, Captain Chu , your complexion is very bad."

Chu Xingyun pushed away his shoulders and was about to leave: "It's okay."

But Xiao Shu stopped him: "Hey Captain Chu, you don't need to go out, I've already brought the cake."

"... what cake?"

Only then did he realize that Xiao Shu was holding a square cake box in his hand.The box is printed with a cake pattern and happybirthday, wrapped with a beautiful brown ribbon.

Xiao Shu smiled and said, "I don't remember your birthday? Sir, I went to order the cake myself early in the morning, did you receive the gift? That set of moonstone wine glasses is so beautiful, it's like a work of art, Italian crystal craftsman Square..."

What he said later, Chu Xingyun didn't hear it, he just felt a little dizzy, no, it was spinning...

That's right, today April 24th is his birthday. He doesn't pay attention to his birthday every year. Every year, He Cheng urges him to pass it. It turns out that Yang Shu said today that she should be the one who gave the gift. ...

What is meant by "spreading left and right and being slapped with more than 2000 big mouths" is what he is now.

Chu Xingyun was stunned at the entrance of the lobby, his body was cold for a while, then hot for a while, the cold was piercing, and the heat was heartburning. He stood blankly for a while in the hot and cold weather, and suddenly took the cake from Xiao Shu's hand with one hand, and said: "Don't go up." Then, with the cat in one hand and the cake in the other, she entered the elevator again.

As the elevator went up, his face gradually turned blood red, and he couldn't even lift his head.He should have guessed it earlier, there must be a reason for He Cheng's abnormal actions today.I thought he was just idle or bored or playing by himself on a whim, but it turned out that he was the only one who didn't pay attention from the beginning to the end.

He returned to the door of No. 717 with the guilt of a heartbroken man who abandoned his wife and son. The door was ajar, the same as when he left.

Chu Xingyun took a deep breath, as if he had been walking for a long time, wandering around and returning to the old place.He gently closed the door, and saw He Cheng sitting in the dining room, with crystals shattered all over the floor under his feet.He Cheng slumped on the chair as if tired, with his feet casually resting on the crystal slag, his arms hanging by his sides, his eyes closed, and his glasses were taken off and placed on the table.A few strands of smooth bangs hung gently over his eyebrows, his eyelashes cast a shadow under the light, and the whole figure seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

When Chu Xingyun got closer, he found that his right hand was bleeding, and the tiny blood droplets dripped continuously on the crystal fragments along the fingertips.Like bright red roses blooming in a crystal cover, it has a very fragile and pure beauty.

He hastily put down the things in his hand, took out the first-aid kit familiarly, walked up to him and knelt down, and raised his hand to look for the wound.

Chu Xingyun raised his hand only to find that he still held a few fragments in his hand, and the wound was scratched by the fragments.

He took the fragments out of He Cheng's hand and threw them on the ground, then raised his head to look at his face, only to realize that He Cheng had opened his eyes at some point and was looking down at him.

Chu Xingyun thought he would see resentment and sadness in his eyes, but he didn't expect his eyes to be so calm and soft.It's like the drizzle and the setting sun after a violent storm and stormy waves, the years are quiet and beautiful.

Chu Xingyun looked at his face, suddenly smiled, and shook his head while laughing, as if he had witnessed a particularly naive, absurd, and childish farce, he couldn't get angry, he could only laugh.

He lowered his head, wiped the wound on He Cheng's palm with a cotton swab, and said, "My birthday?"

No one paid attention to him, He Cheng rested his head on the back of the chair, adjusted a comfortable posture and watched him clean his wound with lowered eyes.

"I forgot. I didn't expect you to remember it every year. This year's birthday is really...thrilling. Whenever you remind me, I remember it. Why did you drop this set of cups in such a temper? What is this? Material? Shinier when broken than when whole."

"...Moonstone."

It sounds very expensive, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but glanced at the debris all over the floor, shook his head and sighed, feeling distressed.The movement of the hand was more gentle, tearing off a band-aid and sticking it on his bloodshot wound, saying: "It's done."

After finishing the sentence, He Cheng suddenly closed his hands and wrapped his fingertips in his hands.

Chu Xingyun was stunned, and forgot to take back his hand for a moment.I just felt that the temperature of his palm was very low, so low that people wanted to hold his hand to warm him up.

Chu Xingyun raised his lips, held his hand instead, and patted the back of his hand comfortingly, looked up at him with a smile and said, "Didn't you say that you will never forgive me?"

He Cheng stared closely at the hand he was holding his, and suddenly his ears turned red, he pulled his hand out with a little force, avoiding his eyes and said, "Just say whatever you want."

Chu Xingyun sighed and stood up, picked up the wooden box from the table, and squatted on the ground to pick up the moonstone residue: "You can talk about it, but it will kill me half my life."

After picking it up, he pulled a chair and sat down at the table without giving up, and said while picking in the box, "I'll see if I can put one together."

While he was spelling the cups, He Cheng went back to the bedroom and changed into a set of home clothes, a flaxen pullover with a low neck and long sleeves, and a pair of cotton trousers.Put on the glasses again and go to the open kitchen to work.

Sitting in the dining room, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and felt that such a simple and casual dress was more suitable for him, but whenever he took off his armor to reveal his soft side, it made people very angry, and he wanted to pull him into his arms for a hug hug.

He Cheng put the cold dinner in the microwave, stood in front of the wine cabinet, rubbed his chin, and carefully selected wine without distraction.

Chu Xingyun picked out a few larger pieces and placed them on the table, glanced at him, and said, "Drink something white."

"White wine?"

"Tsk, Moutai."

He Cheng took out a bottle of CHARDONNAY and said, "I only drink white wine."

Chu Xingyun scrambled the fragments without raising his head and asked again: "What do you eat?"

He Cheng opened the wine and placed it on the floating table for a few seconds to sober up: "You? Grilled Kobe steak over charcoal fire."

Chu Xingyun couldn't help frowning and looked up at him: "Then what do you eat?"

I thought he would say something like vegetable salad, creamy mushroom soup, etc. Unexpectedly, He Cheng glanced at him, continued to look at his watch to count the time, and said lightly: "Luohan cuisine."

Chu Xingyun: "... Then I'll eat steak."

This master, who is dressed in immortal bones, is extraordinary and refined, and he is a vegetarian.
