"Joe."

"Joe."

"Joe."

Shen Qiao opened her eyes and looked around in astonishment.He was in the Shen family's garden, the place he was familiar with when he was a child. In front of him, his biological father knelt down and patted his head lovingly.He yelled in disbelief: "Dad?"

"Yeah." Shen Rong smiled, and he stretched out his hand to straighten Shen Qiao's collar, his voice was so gentle that it was a bit illusory, "Let's go, go pick Lizzie home."

Oh, he remembered, my sister had just had spring break, and my father and he were going to pick her up.

He joyfully held Shen Rong's hand, but the scene in front of him changed instantly.A huge bullet exploded from Shen Rong's heart, and the blood after lead poisoning began to turn black, dripping onto his face drop by drop.

"Follow me to London, Joe." Behind him, another hand grabbed his shoulders, and he turned his head. Charles Hobbs was wearing a pure black suit and wanted to take him away.

He broke free in a panic, trying to grab Shen Rong's hand, but Shen Rong threw him away.He was dragged to a strange room, behind Charles' indifferent voice: "From now on, this will be your home, and I will be your father, Joe`Hobbes."

This is not his home, he shook his head desperately, trying to say something but couldn't say anything.His home is not here.His father was not Charles, nor was his surname Hobbs, and he knocked on the door desperately, but no one answered him.

"Let's go to Beijing, Shen Qiao." A youthful clear voice came from behind him, and he turned his head. In the dormitory of the American Academy of Drama, Zhao Wenyan smiled at him with his passport and air ticket.Yes, he remembered, he was going to Beijing with Zhao Wenyan to audition for his teacher's movie.He pushed open the door, and in the airport terminal, Huo Qiyu and Shen Yun stood side by side, and said to him, "Joe, we will be a family from now on."

They were wearing suits and wedding dresses, a perfect couple.When he turned his head, Zhao Wenyan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We are a family."

Yeah, they were family, his sister, brother-in-law and lover.He stepped forward to hug Shen Yun and Huo Qiyu, but at the same time, thin wounds appeared on their necks, and they turned into two bloody corpses in an instant.

"Mrs. Huo still had signs of life when she came to the hospital, but she was so seriously injured that neither the mother nor the child could be saved." Outside the emergency room, the doctor took off his mask and said with a hint of sorrow in his tone, "Mr. Shen, my condolences."

The pain was not strong at the beginning, but it slowly permeated his limbs: his closest relative, the person he loved the most, he really lost her.

He couldn't speak, and collapsed on the ground uncontrollably. Someone helped him from behind and whispered: "Stay with me, and I will help you."

Oh, he needs help very much now, and Nie Liang is willing.He took his hand, but suddenly Zheng Yaoguo reprimanded him angrily: "Shen Qiao, I misread you!"

In the hospital, Zheng Yaoguo, Kestner, Song Chengyi, Guan Yunying... They stood neatly together and said loudly, "Shen Qiao, we misjudged you."

Yeah, you all misread me.I am not worthy of being an actor, nor worthy of your love and friendship.

He took Nie Liang's hand and walked forward step by step, but Nie Liang suddenly let go of his. He was about to grab it again, but a pair of small hands grabbed his. Huo Lin's soft voice echoed in his ears: "Uncle , why didn't you come and save me?"

Eight-year-old Huo Lin hugged him, his beautiful eyes were full of pleading.He saw Nie Liang grabbing Huo Lin and trying to drag him away from him.Nie Liang hugged Huo Lin, and rubbed his hands on his soft cheeks: "You should have thought about the price of leaving me."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Shen Qiao wanted to chase him, but she couldn't.Oh, Nie Liang is taking revenge on him, so who else in this world can help him?

The surroundings seemed to brighten instantly, and he saw the bright sun, sandy beach and palm trees.He was in Cannes, he remembered, what was he doing here?

When he saw Zhao Wenyan standing under the palm tree, he hurried over and rushed in front of him. A blond-haired, blue-eyed French man stood beside him first. He lowered his head and whispered something in Zhao Wenyan's ear, Zhao Wenyan Wen Yan smiled lightly, raised his head and kissed the man's chin.

His gaze passed over him without a trace of warmth, he was too familiar with that gaze, it was always like this when he looked at strangers, without a trace of nostalgia.

He was cold.He remembered that he came to Cannes and met Zhao Wenyan here, but he already had a new lover by his side, and he no longer needed him.

He has nothing left.He failed everyone after all.

"uncle."

A young man's voice suddenly woke him up, and he saw the grown-up Huo Lin standing in front of him, holding another young man's hand.The man's eyebrows looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.Huo Lin looked at him with a calm and restrained voice: "I'm leaving, with my lover. Take care."

After he finished speaking, he took the man's hand and turned to leave without any nostalgia. Only then did he remember that when Huo Lin grows up, he will have his own career and his own lover, and he can already leave him.

He was so empty in his heart that he wanted to go up and say a few words to him, but a girl's crisp voice sounded behind him: "Uncle, what about me?"

The little girl was wearing a blue gradient starry sky princess dress, sitting on the steps and looking at him.He bought that skirt in France, saying that Xiaoshuang could wear it when she grew up.

Her name is Huo Shuang, and she is his niece, but she was neither born nor grown up.

"You always love your brother, and you always want to tell him everything. What about me, we should be the same." Huo Shuang looked at him, his tone was aggrieved, but gradually became a bewitching invitation, "Brother When he grows up, Uncle Zhao has another lover, so what about you, why don't you come to accompany us?"

As more and more people came to the steps, his parents, his sister and brother-in-law, his dead family members asked him together: "Why don't you come with us?"

Yeah, why didn't he come with them?

He was holding a sharp piece of glass, the only time he wanted to commit suicide, he clearly remembered the shape of that piece of glass, where it touched his heart, in front of him, Nie Liang flipped through the newspaper and said casually: "If you think it's worth it , just die."

Well, Nie Liang clearly said this to him.He forgot why he put down that piece of glass in the first place, and just thought, what's not worth it?

The ones he loved who lived in this world are already dead, and the dead ones stand behind him, stab them down, and he can go to them.

Shen Qiao didn't hesitate any more.He grabbed the piece of glass and stabbed it hard into his heart, without thinking about it.

.....

Shen Qiao sat up abruptly, clutching her heart, covered in cold sweat.

He remembered where he was.He came to see Nie Liang and slept with him in the hotel where they often stayed, at the price of those photos.

On the bedside table, the photo was packed in a leather envelope.He checked them one by one, got up and found matches from the table, threw them into the trash can and burned them all.

Nie Liang is often considered a trustworthy person, as long as he subjectively thinks that you have not betrayed him.He doesn't mind using deceitful means, but the target will only be his enemies, and those he wants revenge.

He once didn't understand this truth, and touched Nie Liang's bottom line unknowingly. He burned some of the price of that mistake now, but he can never make up for it completely.

Nie Liang, Nie Liang------

This is Nie Liang's usual style.When he is nice to you, he can be so good that you feel guilty, but once he is convinced that what he gave is worthless, he will intensify his efforts to repay everything he gave you before, without leaving any sympathy.

The debt he owed Nie Liang 19 years ago must be repaid later.He paid off the cash and still had interest, and when he paid off the interest, he still had feelings—he was destined to entangle with him to the end.

Then let's continue pestering like this, Shen Qiao's brain is still a little dizzy, he pushed open the door and walked to the living room, thinking vaguely while getting dressed, he is going home now, and will take Xiao Lin home after a while, and they will continue to live , even if one day Huo Lin wants to leave him, he won't let it go.

After all, he is still a loved one, even if he wishes he would not have those heavy emotions, he definitely cannot let them down.

While opening the door, he took out his phone and pressed the power button. Nie Liang locked the door, so he couldn't get in from the outside, and he had to work hard to get out from the inside.It took him more than 20 seconds to open the door, and the mobile phone just finished turning on, and the notification sound of the missed call kept ringing.

He had no time to pay attention, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

Li Xiao stood by the door, his eyes were surprisingly calm, he looked at Shen Qiao, and his voice was calm.

He said, Shen Qiao, it's time to go home.
