Beat Generation

The face hidden under the white turban, reflected the flashing light of the thunder, looked like a shadowy grimace.

Orchids also came to join in the fun, sporadic petals swarmed up along the wind and fluttered on that so real yet so illusory face.

If you ask Wen Xi, whose face she was most impressed with in the first half of her life, then she will probably answer you very directly, it is the Bo Mei who did not have a heart in her heart back then.

Wen Xi will never forget that face in her life, she remembers that it was the first meeting between her and Bo Mei after almost a year and a half.

A face-to-face meeting that is still commonplace when I think about it, yes, it was just a face-to-face meeting.

——At that time, the two parents met and chatted, Xiao Wenxi stayed quietly and listened to their conversation, until her eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of soft hands, and she heard a happy voice saying to her, guess who I am?

Of course little Wen Xi knew who it was, she said, you are Bo Mei.

The hands were released, and when she turned her head to look at her, little Wenxi felt as if she was dazzled by something dazzling, she was sure that she saw a little fairy.

Bo Mei looked at her with a smile like that, put her arms around her neck, and whispered in her ear, long time no see, do you miss me?

——Wen Xi touched her ears uncomfortably, she took a deep breath, the moment she saw that face, she was suddenly pulled into the past full of warmth, she turned her head to look at Wu Ershan.

Wu Ershan also smiled at her. This childhood friend who had lost at least three kilograms because of the preparations for the wedding, now had eyes full of joy that was so pure and spotless that he only had when he was young.

"Look, that's my little lady."

"Is it her?" Wen Xi took a step back, as if the thin and motionless figure submerged in the orchids was a ghost who would come to claim her life every night in her dreams, "Is it her?"

"Yes, it's her."

Wu also took a deep breath, "She is very shy. But you, you must be like me, even if you look at her standing there, doing nothing, you still feel that there is light on her, no matter what you are doing, you will Attracted by this light, aren't you?"

A ferocious lightning tore through the sky full of dark clouds, and at the same time, it seemed to tear Wen Xi's heart, she stepped back several steps for a while, the rain has reached the most unscrupulous time, and the raindrops are everywhere run around.

"Let's go inside. We'll get wet here."

Wu opened the glass door connecting the terrace and the living room, and beckoned Wen Xi to come in, but Wen Xi took another step back.

Zhuang Mei, who was originally hiding behind the orchids, had no choice but to push aside the flowering branches and look at Wen Xi who kept retreating for some reason.

Wen Xi didn't look at her, and took another step back until she almost got out of the dark red shelter, half of her body was soaked by the rain.

"Little Huanxi, what's the matter with you? Come in."

Wu was going to pull Wenxi, but unexpectedly met her bewildered eyes.

This is the first time Wu has seen her look like this since she met Wen Xi. She was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly asked Mo Shi to come over with a raincoat and put it on Wen Xi forcibly. She didn't care about getting wet at the same time. Feeling sick, she could only put her arms around Wen Xi and comforted her softly: "I know this is incredible, but it just happened. Look at me, Wen Xi. You don't have to be afraid, she is real, she is not a ghost."

"For the sake of the Buddha, Ershan, look at her face, look at her figure, even the mole on her arm, who is she, who is she." Wen Xi stopped talking, she held Wu Ershan's hand hand.

"Let's go in and talk to her, you can ask her name."

"I don't know how to talk to her."

"Then, then don't talk. She is very quiet and familiar with life. We can sit down and say nothing."

"Do I look very..." Wen Xi looked at herself up and down, only to realize that she was already half-drenched, without any demeanor when she came here, and she was really in a mess.

"You are beautiful, you are so beautiful." Wu Qingxiao hooked Wen Xi's shoulder again, "Come in, this rain will swallow us up."

Wu finally dragged Wen Xi into the living room. Wen Xi lowered her head slightly, not looking at that face.

Wu hurriedly asked Mo Shi to bring a dry blanket, covered Wen Xi's body, and immediately turned around and closed the floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Seeing all the rainwater pouring onto the terrace, the bean-sized raindrops beating violently on the glass door, fortunately she and Wu came in early, if it was a little later, I'm afraid they would really be swallowed by the torrential rain.

"Miss Wen, you should change your clothes first, take off the wet clothes, and let me dry them for you first?"

When Mo Shi and Wen Xi were talking, Wen Xi raised his eyes and glanced at the direction of the thin figure seemingly unintentionally, only to see that there was no one there. Seeing this, Mo Shi smiled and said, "As soon as you came in, , the little lady went upstairs."

Wen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked casually: "Then will she come down later?"

"I'm going to coax her down and let you take a good look. You change your clothes first, and calm down by the way. I know this is hard to accept. The day before yesterday, half of the walls were the same. They didn't answer my calls for two days. Blame me, it's okay Let me give you a soul massage first."

Wu went upstairs.

Wen Xi changed her clothes according to her words, and when she sat back in front of the window again, the rain outside had long been misty, and nothing could be seen outside the window, even the sea was blurred.

Mo Shi served snacks and tea, Wen Xi took a sip of tea, she looked at the figure shaking at the stairs, Wu seemed to be still coaxing her to go downstairs.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, the doorbell rang.

On such a heavy rainy day, the road coming up may have been blocked because of the slippery rainy weather. The only person who can ring the doorbell at this time is the owner of the nearby villa...Wen Xi looked at the door, standing under a black umbrella It was Zhan Banbi.

"I saw your car outside. I thought you hadn't left yet, so I stopped by to have a look." Zhan Banbi curled his lips, walked over and hugged Wen Xi, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see." Wen Xi looked at Mo Li who came with Zhan Banbi again.

"She's my housekeeper."

"Mo Shi Moli?"

Wen Xi never knew that the housekeepers of their two families were a pair of sisters who looked quite similar. She looked at Zhan's hand half wrapped in white bandages, "Your hand hurt?"

Zhan Banbi nodded, the hand stabbed by Rose was still slightly painful, she said indifferently: "It's just a small injury.... Where's Ershan, and you don't come to see the guests?"

"Coaxing her little lady upstairs."

"coax?"

Wen Xi looked at Zhan Banbi, "Have you met her little lady?"

Zhan Banbi nodded, "I've seen it."

The two looked at each other, and both of them quickly understood the other's meaning.

"Maybe we should stop this dangerous wedding." Wen Xi said with an emphasis: "This is crazy, I can't imagine your parents, or other elders, seeing her face at the wedding, what should they do?" What would be the reaction."

"Yes. Her younger brother Bo Hui was still making public opinion abroad some time ago, and he was about to return to China. He just suppressed it. If the wedding of the century, which will definitely be on the front page, is also made public at this time, it will be very dangerous."

"Before I came to the capital, I thought the wind had passed away long ago. I didn't expect to accompany my brother to visit relatives. This place is still the same as before."

"I told you earlier that this capital city can't tolerate any shadow of the Bo family, and everyone avoids talking about it. That's why I asked you to find another cemetery for Bo Mei."

The two looked at each other again, and Wen Xi was about to get the cigars in the bag, but Zhan Banbi held her hand and said, "They are coming down, don't smoke in front of the children."

Wen Xi withdrew his hand, and Zhan Banbi moved from the position opposite Wen Xi to sit next to her, and the two of them looked at the stairs with different expressions.

When Wu Ershan took Zhuang Mei downstairs, she felt that the downstairs seemed unusually quiet. When she went downstairs, she saw Zhan Banbi and Wen Xi both staring at the little person beside her, as if they wanted to use those two pairs of eyes to get out of the room. Shoot from top to bottom.

She protected Zhuang Mei behind her, waved her hand and said, "Don't look at her like a monster, it will frighten her. What's wrong with her? She looks so good-looking, and her personality is so docile! Who wouldn't like her?" .”

Zhan Banbi and Wen Xi didn't speak.

Wen Xi turned her head sideways, and she looked at the overlapping rain curtains outside the window, like curtains side by side. If you don't lift this curtain, you don't know what's hidden under the next curtain.

Zhuang Mei sat down, she didn't look at anyone, and she couldn't feel that anyone was looking at her, everyone's eyes seemed to be staggered.

The four of them sat like this, Wu Ershan pushed a small piece of cake to Zhuang Mei, and Zhuang Mei picked up the small spoon and ate it in small mouthfuls. She clenched her fists and ordered herself to focus all her attention on the cake .

Wu and Zhan met each other's eyes. Zhan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it anyway, and asked softly, "Is the preparation going well?"

"It's all good, the wedding dress has been chosen, and now there are only flower girls left, and I haven't found a match for my eyes."

"Yeah. It's really hard to find flower girls."

Zhan nodded, and Wen Xi asked again, "What kind of wedding dress?"

Wu then talked about the wedding dress endlessly. Zhuang Mei listened quietly, feeling that every time she said a word of praise, the atmosphere became quieter. When she finished talking about the wedding dress and began to talk about the diamond ring, Zhuang Mei Biting her lower lip, she stood up and asked in a low voice, "I'm done eating, Ershan. Can I go upstairs?"

"Sit with us for a while."

Wu begged, but Zhan Banbi and Wen Xi said in unison, "Yes."

Wu looked at the two close friends, and Zhan Banbi said: "The cake you ate just now contained almonds and hazelnuts. I saw that your arms were a little red. Have you had some skin allergies recently? Be careful."

"No, it's not an allergy on her arm, it's a bruise. She needs some medicine." Wen Xi corrected.

"Scratched again?" Wu hurriedly raised her arm, and gently blew on that part, Wen Xi said again: "Your saliva will make the wound worse, and she will feel a tingling sensation. I suggest you apply medicine. "

Zhan Banbi shook his head and said, "Her skin is too delicate. Applying the medicine may leave scars. I think minor abrasions should be allowed to heal on their own. But we still need to be careful."

Zhuang Mei glanced at the expressions on the faces of Zhan and Wen. She noticed that Wen's eyes were gloomy, while Zhan's eyes were gloomy. The two talked about caring words, but their eyes were full of thoughts.

The way they looked at her made her very uncomfortable.

"I don't care about you!" Zhuang Mei scolded softly and ran upstairs. Wu shrugged and said, "She seems to have reached the stage of rebellion. Sometimes I talk too much, and she will do the same. But she only treats me In this way, I have never seen her treat others like this."

"Very cute." Zhan Banbi said.

"Yes, yes, very cute, hey, I love her so much, I think she is cute in everything she does. I'm afraid she won't do anything." Wu Ershan said with a yearning look on her cheek.

"Hmm, yeah, it's so cute."

Wen Xi sneered, she took out the cigar case from her bag, Zhan Banbi immediately took out 2 cigars from the case, and handed one to Wu Ershan. Once dropped to freezing point.

"So, now, Wu Ershan, I, Wen Xi and I have something to tell you, which may make you unhappy. Would you like to listen?"

Wu Ershan loosened his collar, leaned back, relaxed his whole body, and took a deep puff of his cigar, "Yeah."

The conversation didn't end until the three of them shared a whole pack of cigars.

No one knew what the three of them were talking about in a low voice. Even the two housekeepers, Mo Shi and Mo Li, were dismissed, and the sound of the rumbling rain outside the window covered everything wonderfully.
