The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

A few days before Qixi Festival, I went back to the small town with Gu Xi.

Huguang Avenue and Luoyu Avenue intersect north-south, facing the bank of the river, and Silie I stayed at this hotel that was fully booked for several weddings.

Among the huge red brocade notice boards with a gold powder background at the main entrance, large gold-plated characters shine brightly in the sun, and there are pairs and pairs written on them flying like a dragon and a phoenix.

"Groom: Wang Hui, Bride: Zhang Anan."

She finally came out, and it took a while longer than I expected.The person selected by An'an must be one in a million in some respects, and the most ordinary.

Gu Xi stared at it with incessant interest, stopped there, and said, "It's really like it." He was talking about An An's husband, Wang Hui.

"Actually, Wang Xiang saved me back then." Gu Xi's eyes suddenly turned red.

After years of separation, we seldom expressed emotion about the past in those two years, but we didn't see this reborn character like Wang Xiang, and each of us felt moist in our hearts.Those who left all left, Zhang Dong, Wang Xiang, Xiao Man, the three fathers, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zheng.

Each wants something, each gets something, but each asks for nothing.

It seems that there is no longer the pain of hatred in the past, the pain for An An, for myself, for Zhao Yuan and even for those two children. At this moment, there is only a faint smile and those happy times.

"Great wedding. Groom: Yu Huan, bride: Hongyan." My younger sister, Hongyan, has a special love in her heart. Under Uncle Hongxuan's nine springs, I don't know if she can feel at ease?

"This, I think it's on par with your temperament. But it's much darker than yours. Hongyan's eyes are really good. I read the portfolio she posted on the road. I'm so happy!" Gu Xi wiped away her tears, tightly Take my hand.

"It's just right, Hongyan said before that he would post you in the portfolio to help you choose a concubine, and we will discuss this later." I teased with a smile.

"Great wedding commemoration. Groom: Yun Che, bride: Zhu Ziping." An old friend whom I haven't seen for many years, will sister Ziping still often worry that the person I love the most can't understand the sound of her piano?Will I still sigh silently in the letter-maybe I am always not enough.

"Pearl Wedding Anniversary. Groom: Lin Ziwei, Bride: Huang Xiya."

At that moment, I thought my father was still alive, and the blood in my body seemed to be flowing backwards.Reason tells me that maybe what my mother will hold is the portrait of my father.

11 years, mother.

Gu Xi and I looked at these familiar names, as if such faces appeared one by one in the dense clouds of stars, so bright and brilliant in our lives.Like they are right in front of your eyes right now.

I gently held Gu Xi's finger: "I want to say selfishly, stay with me, together."

Gu Xi held my hand tightly: "Probably, we have built a castle in our hearts. This castle has always been indestructible, but if there is a crack in it, it will collapse completely... Wenxi, fortunately, after the castle collapsed, Maybe the world out there is better."

"In those six years, you said you lived peacefully, but in fact, it was very hard." I heard it clearly.

"You work in a high-end restaurant, isolate yourself from the kitchen, and design the freshest and most delicious dishes every day, but none of them can make you happy... Gu Xi!" I held him tightly.

"Wenxi, in the past three years, it's actually not my crack. I can't live in my story, can I? There has never been a movie with three people, and I have never, never joined it, have I?" Gu Xi said slowly, reached out and lightly touched the wedding photo of Zheng Kai and Chen Wanxin, fingertips lingered in Zheng Kairuo's thick eyebrows for a long time, and sighed softly in the cool summer night: "It's so good."

"You should be your own protagonist." I hugged Gu Xi.

"Big wedding. Groom: Zheng Kai, bride: Chen Wanxin." I still remember that Zheng Kai once left a video on Weibo. He and Wanxin have always refused to hold a wedding because they don't want the most important person to be absent.

How can I miss such a day?

"Still contacting your protagonist, Zhao Yuan? Can you still have a room in this hotel tonight?" Gu Xi said with a smile.

I was momentarily speechless.

How to get in touch?

These two years are used to being with Gu Xi, the two quiet people always seem to be alone in a quiet place, and sometimes they talk as if they are talking to themselves.When you are with a group of the same people, you don't know each other, and you don't need to worry about where they come from or where they want to go.

It seems that such a familiar human relationship is so heavy that I can't breathe.

I picked up my mobile phone and dialed the familiar number 13 years ago when I was just in college, the one that Xiaoman once said was the only one reserved for me.

The moment the phone was dialed, a familiar voice seemed to ring in my ears. I was a little lost and almost didn't hold the phone.

Yuan, it's you.

The tired bird returns to the forest, the lonely boat stays in the harbor, the setting sun resurfaces the sea, the moon shines a smile again from the colorful clouds, the flowers falling from the peach forest return to a tree, the sky clears up, and the light rain on the moor , only makes the air more clear and transparent.It's like a phone call that suddenly travels through 13 years. At this time, I, 30 years old, Zhao Yuan over there, was still a 19-year-old boy when I entered school, holding an old-fashioned Nokia in my hand.

If so, what can I say?

Maybe, I would say, Ah Yuan, take your father and stay away from this place, away from...

Maybe you will say, every minute and every second, guard that Wenxi, don't let him fade out of your sight, don't let him run away again, or even marry Wenxi at that time...

I was shrouded in an inexplicable feeling, and for a moment I didn't know if I was on this eve or what year?

"And the last one, don't you look up?" A mature, mellow, familiar, long-lost voice surrounded me.

Where he pointed, the large LED screen above his head suddenly shone with dazzling light, and the LED lights shot straight into the sky.The grand and solemn wedding march resounded through the entire street, and the busy street suddenly became extremely crowded.The huge text on the screen announced to everyone: "Great wedding: groom: Lin Wenxi, groom: Zhao Yuan."

It turned out that this last scene was for me and him.

At the same time, the firework of the nearby fire trees and silver flowers, forming two connected hearts in the city, surrounded him and me. In the radiance, my eyes gradually blurred. He has merged into my eyes, the dizzy world, dazzled The time passed, but know that there is only one him, only one you.

"I'm afraid you will leave again. I dare not open this screen until you come." Zhao Yuan looked at me calmly.

Every night, he is guarding it, never leaving.

He was very calm, but the fireworks bloomed in his clear eyes with exciting tracks, and the swallowing in his throat was slow and feeble, like a long-distance race of tens of thousands of meters, and he was exhausted and relieved once he reached the finish line.

His hands were trembling slightly, his shoulders were trembling slightly, his chest was trembling slightly.

I feel the pulse and heartbeat of the world, so heavy that it is so oppressive that it is difficult to breathe at that moment.

"Don't leave again, okay?" Zhao Yuan hugged me tightly and said in a low voice.

I firmly grasped his broad back, and rubbed my head fiercely against his face. I didn't expect to meet him, and I was already sinking, sinking as if I wanted to be one with him, to get into him In his stomach, he wanted to be swallowed into his mouth, wishing that every part of the blood was him, all of him!

I nodded my head as hard as I could.

After seeing a gentleman, Yunhu was not happy.

Zhao Yuan burst into tears immediately.

I hugged him at a loss, I really wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry for a while.

I suddenly understood that no matter how far I ran, Zhao Yuan would still look for me or wait for me, so I never worried that I would not see him when I came back.And he, every time he thought that I left like that, he would never come back, every time he lost forever, and then regained.

The shop assistants who came and went to work were all stunned. They must not understand why the man who rented out such a luxurious hotel would be so groggy and unable to restrain himself.Passers-by came in twos and threes, and then gradually and automatically centered on the two of us, with a radius of four or five meters away, accurately surrounding us.

The long-lost kiss bloomed the epiphyllum on the snow mountain.

I know that unless I lose my life, I will never leave again.

No, I will cherish my life well and not leave before him.

For a moment, I thought about life and death, for a moment, as if the parting of life and death was in front of me, I was suddenly very scared, I was very afraid that I would grow old soon in my [-]s, and I didn’t have enough time to be with him, not enough time to love he.

Tears burst down the embankment immediately, and could no longer stop, nor did I want to stop.

Yuan, you know that your tears are the joy of regaining what was lost, but my tears are the fear of losing in the future.I don't want to lose again, I lost a Zhang Dong who respected me, loved me, and affectionately, and Hong Xuan who loved me and treated me as my own.

I am afraid that you will leave again.

After a long time, Zhao Yuan held my face in his hands, and wanted to turn my face to look at him: "Fool, then why are you laughing?"

I pointed towards not far away, and Zhao Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Akai, Akai, you have today too!"

There, Zheng Kai hugged Gu Xi tightly into his arms, and kept rubbing Gu Xi's head with his straight chin, as affectionately as if he had a biological sister.

The two didn't say anything, but four lines of tears fell together.

I suddenly remembered that Wang Xiang said that Zheng Kai would be a good father in the future, and my heart suddenly felt relieved.

In my impression, since Uncle Zheng left, Zheng Kai only shed tears for Wanxin and Gu Xi.In the bottom of his heart, after all, he will always be tender for Gu Xi.

I saw Gu Xi rubbing against Zheng Kai like a kitten. In the past, Zheng Kai who disliked Gu Xi lying on his body very much, and Zheng Kai, who said Gu Xi was disgusting in the past, no longer has any grievances and barriers.

Gu Xi, who had vowed that she would never come back to affect Zheng Kai and his wife, once they met, everything would be nothing but miss and cherish in each other's eyes.

Wanxin kept stroking Gu Xi's forehead, the love and tenderness in her eyes was no different from her husband Zheng Kai's. She looked at me, was it gratitude or miss?

I suddenly felt relieved, such Zheng Kai, such Wanxin, how could Gu Xi be embarrassed between the two of them?

Tears followed tears, laughter followed laughter, all the people walked out from the depths of the crowd one by one and hugged me one by one.Among the crowd, Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan also appeared.

I hugged Zhou Nannan, said sorry to her deeply, and punched Zhengjuan several times.

The joys and sorrows, the destiny and the origin, everything is the past after all.After all, the two of them are far away from each other, but she and her family, the parents married each other, and agreed that the two families will be blood related forever.The two of them agreed to have a phone call every day, knowing that you are there and I am here.They agreed that they would inform each other about the color of the bra that day.

This kind of gathering erased all the previous stumbling blocks.

In the laughter, we knew that Zhao Yuan guessed that I would not go to the airport, the train station, or take a long-distance bus, so I asked the big guys to wait around here tonight.

It is true that I got off the train in the next city, and then changed to a taxi and came back.

Then, I was on the top floor of the hotel, and I met my mother who had been away for 11 years.

Dressed in plain clothes, put your hands together.

When my mother saw me, she took off the plain clothes. Underneath was a bright red long-sleeved pleated shirt that my father Lin Ziwei had bought for my mother.

She didn't return to the world of mortals until she saw me.

My mother didn't have a long chat with me about Qi Kuo, and she must have known everything about me from Zhao Yuan.

My mother went to Xiaoman's parents to find the clothes that Xiaoman wore when she was a child, put them in the monastery where she was a monk, asked someone to burn an altar of Buddhist incense, and burned the letter she wrote to Xiaoman.

I also know that it was she, Zhao Yuan and everyone who made Nan Nan's return and the final reconciliation between the two elders.

"I asked him to tell me everything about you these years, every word, I hope he will not be left behind, son, these years..."

My mother choked up and couldn't make a sound, and I couldn't say anything more.

I know that what she did was to reduce the guilt in my heart, and I wanted to reduce the guilt in my heart.

My mother told me even more eagerly that Zhang Shouxi was still alive.

She told me herself that she had been to Inner Mongolia, met Zhang Dong's parents, and showed me the photos of the clinic.

She didn't expect me to fall to the ground on the spot, and I lost my composure so much that I burst into tears.I don't know why, but I always feel that my chest is stagnated with endless sorrow and endless grievances.Zhao Yuan held me in his arms and beat my back in pain.

I couldn't help myself, and wanted photos like aphasia. I wanted to give myself an explanation for the past two years. I wanted to find a box for those tears. I also wanted to say sorry to Zhang Dong himself.

His mother said that there was no need, he only remembered that he was Zhang Shouxi.

……

She has only been back for two short months, and she has done everything a mother can do for me, especially for my peace of mind at a certain moment.

I looked at Zhao Yuan and stroked his pale face. I was so overwhelmed with joy and sadness that I almost hung my whole body on his neck. I kissed him softly, and I accidentally got a snot blister. Zhao Yuan actually gave me a bite to eat, but it embarrassed me.

Mother stroked our heads and smiled.

My mother then called me, my sister Wanxin, and my brother-in-law Zheng Kai together, took our hands, told her and my biological father and adoptive father slowly, and asked us for some opinions.

We know the love between her and her biological father in those years, her despair in those years, and the indulgence since she accompanied her adoptive father. During the twists and turns, the four of us wept together.

Zheng Kai said emotionally: "Wanxin never dared to mention her parents in front of others...he was afraid that Zhao Yuan and I would be sad. Put everything away... After you say it this way, Wanxin knows that there are still people thinking about him and thinking about him, so Wanxin can also go to pay homage to her on Qingming Festival as a child of her own family."

Wanxin shed tears silently: "Brother, I am the one who regrets more than you and is more ashamed than you. I hope that for the rest of my life, we will reconcile together, with life, with everything..."

I silently thought about Wanxin's words, and my thoughts suddenly changed.

This walk for three years, in fact, I am even more afraid.

Three years of changing seasons, three years of wind and dust, yes, I never thought that I should come back earlier, reconcile with myself and fate...

Nodding, four hands clasped tightly together.

We mother and son chattered until the early morning, she suddenly smiled lovingly, and gently stroked my cheek: "A Yuan's room is next door, you go there, tomorrow is a good day for you."

"Mom, you..." I couldn't help sobbing.

"Even if the law doesn't approve it, mom does, and your friends do. What's more, Wenxi, in the final analysis, as long as you and him agree with each other." Mom said with a smile.

It was night, Zhao Yuan and I unexpectedly did not "talk to each other", but interlocked our fingers, and he hugged me into his arms.

My heart seems to have a place to rest, and there is no dream all night.

This is the most special wedding, a banquet of thousands of tables.The flowing water banquet extends from the top floor of the hotel to the bottom floor.Four couples, two wedding anniversaries, all relatives and friends, all get together.

Apart from the wedding of Zhao Yuan and I to the groom, when my mother celebrated Pearl's wedding, she brought out two portraits, one of my biological father Chen Tianjiao and the other of my father Lin Ziwei.

When Zheng Kai and Wanxin saluted their elders, they not only knelt down to toast to the man's mother, Guo Ciyun, but also toasted to the woman's elder, my mother.When Wanxin and Zheng Kai yelled "Mom" at the same time, the mother solemnly took Wanxin's hand and handed it to Zheng Kai.Later, Zhao Yuan and I made a toast to Hongyan's mother and Uncle Hongxuan's widow.

The wedding ended, except for Zheng Kai, who was blushing and still patted his chest to me about the hotel security and reception work he had arranged, everyone was staggering drunk.My mother was overwhelmed with alcohol, or overwhelmed with sorrow and joy, Gu Xi smiled and helped her to rest first, saying that she wanted to talk to his godmother about what happened to me in the past few years.

My lovely bridegroom has the grilled fish I made for him in his mouth.The grilled fish on this table was learned by him with me. It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh fish. In the first half of my life, why not polish it, add oil, soup, and steam it bit by bit? ...

It seems to be vaguely the taste of that time.

The bridegroom officer helped me block too much wine, lying in my arms at this moment, breathing evenly, the smile on his face, like a child who has eaten candy, I heard him whisper slightly: "It's not a dream... "

As for Mengyuan and Mengxi, one was taking a lunch break on my left knee, and the other was smiling satisfied in his father's arms.

Outside the window, there is a drizzle of rain, the red dust is like a mirror, the beauties of all kinds, the world is like frost, and the years are like water. At that time, in the field, you can't see everything clearly, but you said that you will marry me in the future.

I believe it.
