unintentionally seduce

The candlelight, the supper, the long table, the cloth, the food—everything in the dining-room was as silent as a scroll.

And those who entered the painting together were two people who sat at the two ends of the dining table and ate quietly.

This is the first time Xiao Fujiu came to this remote villa to "visit" the previous head of the family after the change of head of the family.The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

The only thing that could keep this scene from being too embarrassing to proceed was Feng Tan'an who was in charge of serving dishes at the long table. ——The new acting Patriarch and the former Patriarch are both "picky". Except for Feng Tan'an, none of the waiters in the villa are allowed to step into the villa's door; at most, they complete the handover with Feng Butler outside the door.

Xiao Fujiu waited for a long time but did not wait for the man sitting opposite him to speak, he was a little complicated.This kind of scene and atmosphere seemed to have never appeared in front of them, so that he didn't know how to break the silence.

After all, no matter how many situations there were in the past, the one who voluntarily backed down must not be him.

But tonight was different from the past, the man sitting opposite him didn't seem to have the slightest intention to speak.He didn't even doubt that as long as he didn't open his mouth, the silence between the two of them could continue like this; until tonight was spent in vain, until tonight he worked hard and tried his best to get here but got nothing.

"…elder brother."

When the red wine was poured, Feng Tan'an stepped back and left. There were only two people left in the room. Xiao Fujiu opened his mouth and spit out these two pale words.

Tang Yiheng, who was sitting at the other end of the long table, paused for a second with the knife and fork in his hand. He raised his head, didn't answer, and only looked at the person who spoke.

On that face with every line he knew so well, in those black eyes, there are hidden emotions that cannot be buried deeply or exposed—but they are just emotions like sadness and guilt .There is no entanglement, no hesitation, not even a trace of anxiety.

...It turned out that his Xiaochen had already made up his mind.

Unexpectedly, a relieved smile appeared on the man's face.

"I don't know if I've said it before, but Tang Yiheng only lives for two things." He picked up the goblet he had just poured, watching the scarlet liquid leave marks on the side of the cup, through the The figure glimpsed by the cup looked vague and unreal, "Originally there should only be the Tang family, but then suddenly there was one more you, even I myself don't know when to start counting."

"..." Xiao Fujiu's fingertips holding the handle of the knife suddenly turned pale.

"I'm actually very happy to see you today. Because no matter what decision you make, you can go on alone. Even if I'm not here, you can still live well...or better."

"It's not like this..." Xiao Fujiu bit her lower lip, her voice was so soft that it could be ignored.Tang Yiheng didn't hear it across a long table, and his voice continued, but the tone slowly sank at some point——

"I didn't realize until today that I'm afraid of death, Xiaochen,...are you a little disappointed in me?" The corners of Tang Yiheng's lips became more curved, but the emotions in those dark blue pupils gradually settled down. , "I shouldn't let you choose, I know. It's a pity that I'm a bit greedy, I still want to see you once. After seeing you, I want to see you next time."

"elder brother……"

Xiao Fujiu put down the knife and fork in his hand, and pressed it on the gorgeous silk cloth, his fingertips were so hard that they were about to sink into it.Even that usually handsome face had a hint of ferocious emotion on it.

"...It's okay." Tang Yiheng raised his head, all emotions faded from his eyes, leaving only a gentle and indulgent smile, the man even blinked at Xiao Fujiu in a comforting way like never before, he looked up scratched his wrist, and drank the scarlet blood-like wine in one gulp——

"I won't make things difficult for you, my brother."

In the last light and shadow that caught his eye, the dazzling chandelier and the faded woolen blanket were upside down, the world was being turned upside down, and there was a figure that he would never want to forget until he died, running towards him.

Tang Yiheng looked at that figure, and then slowly closed his eyes.

... In a daze of a certain year, the mottled starlight among the green leaves suddenly flooded into memory, the boy under the tree hugged that playful younger brother and whispered to his ear: Xiaochen, you are my eternal North Star...

I wish to remember you forever.

I will always remember you forever.
