nameless blue

Mr. Chen, the boss of the Green Gang, died.

It was a rainy day when he died, and the rain was very heavy. Many people said that Ome City had never experienced such a heavy rain.It rained until early morning, and early risers even saw a rainbow.

Then Chen Shi died.

He died in his bedroom. There was no one in that house, only him and an old man who couldn't speak.The old man was fine, he couldn't speak, and he was too weak to hold a broom.

Let alone murder.

On weekdays, Chen Shi even did the cleaning in this house by himself.

He was 53 when he died and had a son who happened to be 29.It's not that no one is jealous of the huge property and territory left by Chen Shi.But those old days of Mr. Chen are still alive, they have all been favored by Mr. Chen, and for a while, everyone gets up in peace, waiting for the return of Mr. Chen's son.

Chen Qingsen returned to China under such circumstances.He is 29 years old this year, and his birthday will be in one month. He already has a girlfriend abroad, and the other party does not know his identity.

He and his father have not been in touch for five years, they have not taken any money from the family, and they do not know what is happening in China. This time Mr. Chen passed away. If someone from the Green Gang abroad had not contacted him, he might not have known about it. father died.

After his father died, his property and territory were vacated. Chen Qingsen was not a child, so he naturally understood.He wore a solemn black suit and attended a funeral with ulterior motives.

Perhaps it was to commemorate Mr. Chen, or to show the power of Mr. Chen during his lifetime. The funeral was very heavy, and the people who attended the funeral were sad enough.

But Chen Qingsen felt bored, he didn't love everything at home, he was very honest and had no feelings.The father in his memory was always cold, and his voice was not loud, but few people dared to refute.

He didn't have the slightest affection for his mother either. In Chen Qingsen's limited memory, the two of them could only treat each other as guests.The Chen family's mansion was left by Mr. Chen's ancestors.

It is said that the identity was not clean back then, and I don't know what happened, but this mansion was able to stay until now.For Chen Qingsen, he didn't like this house.

Because of the large space, old design and lighting, it is usually dark for no reason.Faintly, there is also a decaying smell, as if this house is old.

Chen Qingsen looked at the photos in the mourning hall.As the only son of Mr. Chen, he should go to offer a stick of incense.Seeing that he didn't respond, the uncle next to him thought that he had been abroad for a long time and forgot some domestic rules, so he handed him a stick of incense, "Go and offer a stick of incense to your father."

The person who spoke was Mr. Chen's left and right hand. He was older than Mr. Chen. He is 60 years old this year. He has a shaved head and wears glasses. He looks quite kind.

He only stretched out one hand, Chen Qingsen bowed his head and thanked his uncle, this kind old gentleman only had one hand.His other hand was cut off during the gang fight.So it was the left hand that passed incense to him at this moment.

"Why did you choose this photo?" Chen Qingsen looked at the black and white photo and asked the uncle in a low voice.

Mr. Chen in the photo doesn't have short hair, and his skin has always been pale. For his identity, his appearance is too feminine and beautiful.

He looked ahead, expressionless, like a lifeless ceramic doll.

"He doesn't like to take pictures." The bald head said with some embarrassment, "In the end, after searching and searching, I only found this photo."

Chen Qingsen nodded.

Then he walked up to Mr. Chen and respectfully offered him a few sticks of incense.Although he doesn't have any extra feelings with this Mr. Chen, he is his father after all, so he still has to do what he has to do.

After Chen Qingsen finished the incense, he happened to face Mr. Chen in the photo.Mr. Chen has big eyes with long tails. In the photo, his hair is combed up and he is wearing a well-fitting black suit.He doesn't look very old, at least he is about the same as he is now.

But in Chen Qingsen's memory, there is no such Mr. Chen.

Maybe he had already gone abroad at that time, maybe Mr. Chen was busy with his career at that time, Chen Qingsen thought.Strange to say, he has never had any extra feelings for this Mr. Chen.

In my heart, I call him more Mr. Chen than my father.

It seems that the two are not father and son at all.

Mr. Chen's death is considered big news in Ome City.The funeral also had to be held on a grand scale, so Chen Qingsen could only go back after at least the first seven days.

Yes, for Chen Qingsen, that is the way to go back.

He has no relationship with Mr. Chen, and he already has a girlfriend abroad who he has known for many years, although their relationship is currently in crisis.But for him, after all, there is the familiar environment.

And he really can't control the business of the Green Gang.

Mr. Chen never let him intervene in these matters, and he never let him know about the business of the Green Gang, so when Chen Qingsen was young, he also suspected whether Mr. Chen had an illegitimate child outside, which is why he acted like this.

But after observing for a long time, Chen Qingsen also discovered that Mr. Chen has been living a life of abstinence.He seems to have a natural lack of interest in this.

On weekdays, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, he does not fall into his eyes.

Yes, he looks really pretty.Chen Qingsen thought.He sat on a chair, thinking about his childhood.

At that time, Mr. Chen was still young, perhaps even younger than in the photo. He seemed to be blessed by God and never aged.

That day when he got home from school very early, Chen Qingsen went back upstairs.

Then, hearing some noise downstairs, she came out of her room, stood in the corridor, and saw Mr. Chen and a woman sitting on the sofa.

That woman was very beautiful, at least Chen Qingsen, who was still a high school student at that time, felt that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She clung to Mr. Chen's side, lying on his body, as if she wanted to kiss him.

From Chen Qingsen's angle, he couldn't see Mr. Chen's expression, he could only see the woman kissing Mr. Chen, kissing his Adam's apple, and then being pushed away by Mr. Chen.

She still wanted to get closer, but Mr. Chen stood up, and then turned around to see Chen Qingsen standing in the corridor.

Chen Qingsen froze for a moment, he was actually a little afraid of the indifferent Mr. Chen.

"Go back." Chen Shi said.

Chen Qingsen didn't dare to look at it, and hurried back to the room.

It wasn't until Aunt Mei told him to go down for dinner that he saw Mr. Chen sitting at the main table, the woman had disappeared.Chen Qingsen was a little bit clueless, thinking about that woman and Mr. Chen at that time.

It had been five years since his mother left, and he always felt that Mr. Chen would find him a new Mrs. Chen sooner or later.But for so many years, it seems that no one has followed him home.

In the huge house, apart from Mr. Chen, there is Aunt Mei who is in charge of taking care of Chen Qingsen.

"...Is that Mrs. Chen?" Chen Qingsen cautiously probed.

"Forget the rules?" Mr. Chen held the bowl and glanced at him.

Although Mr. Chen has always been pleasing to the eye, when he looks at you, you are not in the mood to appreciate the beauty. After all, the momentum is amazing, and if you are not careful, your life may be lost.

Of course, Chen Qingsen would not worry about his own life, but Mr. Chen has always been strict with him, so when he saw his father's strict gaze, he shrank subconsciously, and then said, "I haven't forgotten, father."

Yes, this is the rule of Mr. Chen, whether at home or outside, Chen Qingsen must call him father, not father, not other names, only father.

It sounds rusty and indifferent.

Just like his attitude towards Chen Qingsen, the adolescent Chen Qingsen didn't think about whether Mr. Chen hated his mother, or that he was born under the condition of being resented.

But he had heard Mr. Chen call his biological mother, and his voice was much softer than before. Only once, Chen Qingsen saw him laughing, with the corners of his eyes crooked.

The warmth of spring and the blossoming of flowers are nothing more than that.However, when he saw Chen Qingsen at the side, it was freezing cold again, as if he just hated Chen Qingsen by nature.

If you hate it, why give birth to him?

When he was a teenager, Chen Qingsen had such thoughts.But whether he was crying or making trouble, or playing rebellion, Mr. Chen has always been like that.

So after a long time, Chen Qingsen didn't bother to fight for anything, he thought it was because he was born to be at odds with Chen Shi.

Chen Shi, Chen Qingsen felt funny when he thought of this name, it didn't match Mr. Chen's appearance at all, and he didn't think that because he hated this name, Mr. Chen kept asking him to call him father.

But then I felt that I was thinking wildly, after all, calling my father would not call his name.

Mr. Chen hummed when he heard him call that title, and then said slowly, "There will be no Mrs. Chen."

Chen Qingsen looked at him.

"The person you met today will never appear again."

For a moment, Chen Qingsen imagined a lot of horrible developments, maybe because he sensed what he was thinking, Mr. Chen said again, "She should have her own life, I'm not a good person."

After finishing speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then ate his meal slowly.

Even at home, Mr. Chen is meticulous in his clothes. He seems to hate excessive skin. When he goes out, his suit and shirt are always buttoned to the last button.

At home, I seldom wear short sleeves and shorts, but mostly wear loose trousers and shirts.

It wasn't until someone patted Chen Qingsen on the shoulder that he woke up from the memories.Everyone said to him words of condolences, and he nodded.

I won't go into details about what happened later, after the first seven days, when Chen Qingsen was about to return to China, his uncles stayed behind.It is said that there are many things in the Green Gang that need him to deal with.

Even if he shirks these things, he doesn't understand them all, and it's useless to let his uncle take full control of them. After all the calculations, even if he wants to hand over the rights, it will take a month.

Living in a hotel at this time is naturally inconvenient.

So Chen Qingsen moved back to the old house.

The old house has been cleaned again. When Chen Qingsen came home, the old man on the slope opened the door. "The room is ready." He whispered, "It's still the old room."

"Thank you." Chen Qingsen said.

The old man nodded and limped away from the door.

Chen Qingsen took his change of clothes and came to the room he used to. The wooden stairs on the second floor creaked, perhaps because no one had passed by for a long time.

But the corridor is still as clean as ever, presumably because someone has been cleaning it.

He walked to the room in his memory, opened the door and walked in.There is no expected dust, and there is no musty smell that has not been lived in for a long time. The decoration in the house is the same as it was back then. It seems that it has not changed for so many years.

Chen Qingsen put down his luggage, walked to his own bookshelf with some nostalgia, and then flipped through the comics he read when he was young, and the football star stickers in the drawer were still there.

It seems that he has been the same for so many years.

Chen Qingsen shook his head, of course he wasn't there, if he was, this room wouldn't be what he looked like when he was young, he has grown up after all.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Qingsen looked at the house with nostalgia, and when he was flipping through his previous collection of comics, he suddenly found a group photo.

It was shot by Polaroid.

Above is Chen Qingsen in his youth, and a child who looks to be only about ten years old.

The other party was in Chen Qingsen's arms, grinning loudly at the camera.

Chen Qingsen looked at it for a long time, and it seemed that there was indeed such a child in his vague memory. He just bought a Polaroid at that time, so he took this photo on a whim.

I don't know what this kid looks like now...

Chen Qingsen thought, and then heard footsteps in the corridor outside.

It didn't sound like the old man on the slopes. He was a little curious, so he went out, and then saw a young man dressed in retro clothes. The young man was very good-looking, with big eyes, and there seemed to be a dimple on his cheek. When he saw Chen Qingsen, His expression was very surprised, and then he said in disbelief, "Are you Brother Aomori?"

Chen Qingsen looked at the young man in front of him, he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

He didn't know this young man, besides, there was no outsider in the Chen family's old house.

"Who are you?" Chen Qingsen asked, he thought of many possibilities, he thought of Mr. Chen's sudden death, thought of many things, he wondered if it might have something to do with this mysterious boy.

The boy didn't answer, he just pointed to the photo in Chen Qingsen's hand, "That's me."

Chen Qingsen looked at the photo in his hand, and looked at the boy for a while. He was shorter than himself, obviously still under development. The child in the photo had a small dimple when he smiled... He looked at the boy. After a while, "You smile."

Hearing this, the young man showed a big smile, and there was indeed a dimple on his cheek.

"This is you?" Chen Qingsen held up the photo in his hand, he still hadn't dispelled his doubts about the young man, the stranger who suddenly appeared in his home after Mr. Chen's death.

Besides, it was still in the old house of the Chen family.

He suddenly thought of the crippled old man, "Who is that man?"

The teenager thought for a while, then said, "I don't remember an old man in this house."

"who are you?"

"I can't tell you." The boy said mysteriously.

Chen Qingsen thought, if Mr. Chen was here, this boy would probably be dead by now, but he is not Chen Shi, so he doesn't like these things that kill and kill.

"How did you come?"

"I can't tell you," said the boy.

"Then what should I call you?" Chen Qingsen asked.

"You can call me Xiao Chen." The boy said.

Another one surnamed Chen, Chen Qingsen thought, looking at the photo in his hand, he actually didn't remember when the photo was taken.Maybe when I was in junior high school?Maybe high school too?

In the photo, Chen Qingsen was wearing home clothes, so he couldn't tell the date of the photo for a while.

"I don't care who you are." Chen Qingsen said, "Anyway, I'm leaving." He said to Xiao Chen, "No matter what plots or thoughts you have, it has nothing to do with me." He said quietly, but Suddenly seeing Xiao Chen's face, he immediately collapsed, "What's wrong?"

"Are you leaving again?" Xiao Chen said.

"again?"

"You disappeared very suddenly at that time." Xiao Chen said to Chen Qingsen, "You said you would not leave, you will always be here." He looked a little excited, and then ran away suddenly.

Chen Qingsen was a little puzzled for a while, he looked at the figure of the boy who disappeared at the end of the corridor, and suspected that this person was Mr. Chen's illegitimate son.

He looked at the photo in his hand, thought for a while, and walked out of his room, looking for the lame old man.After all, a stranger suddenly appeared in his house after Mr. Chen's death.

Even if the other party is a teenager, it is enough to make Chen Qingsen startled.

Although he doesn't know anything about the Green Gang, he is not a naive and kind young man. He also knows that the danger of some creatures cannot be judged by their appearance.

The lame old man lived at the corner of the first floor, and Chen Qingsen knocked on his room.

Then he heard the old man's heavy footsteps. He was not walking fast, which was normal, and the footsteps came and went, varying from light to heavy, presumably because of the slope.

After the old man opened the door, Chen Qingsen first greeted him politely, and then asked, "Are we the only ones living in the house?"

"Mr. Chen's house never allows outsiders to come in." The old man said, "Since Aunt Mei passed away, only Mr. Chen and I are left."

Aunt Mei has been taking care of Chen Qingsen since he grew up, and after he went abroad, she has been taking care of him at the Chen family. Chen Qingsen has some affection for Aunt Mei.

When she died, Chen Qingsen actually wanted to come back, but was stopped by Mr. Chen.

"It's not safe." He remembers what Mr. Chen said to him in the video.

"I want to go back." Chen Qingsen said, he knew that the cause of Aunt Mei's death was not that simple, it must have something to do with the Green Gang, but he still wanted to go back.

"Aunt Mei probably doesn't want to reunite with you underground so soon." Mr. Chen said coldly, "Don't come back and cause me trouble."

Chen Qingsen was very angry. After hanging up the communication with Mr. Chen, he immediately booked a plane ticket, but before he got to the airport, he was politely invited back.

"Mr. Chen doesn't want you to go back." The man who finished speaking was a burly man. Although he spoke politely, it was because of Mr. Chen's face. If he had much respect for Chen Qingsen himself, he definitely didn't have it.

Chen Qingsen tried to escape.

But not once.

"Mr. Chen said that if you insist on going back again, he doesn't mind breaking your legs." When the escape was discovered for the last time, this man said to him, "And Aunt Mei has already been buried, so he told you not to go back disturbed her."

Then Chen Qingsen never returned to China, until now, when Mr. Chen passed away, he came back, and it was the burly man who told him the news, but he also looked old.

He said to himself, "Mr. Chen passed away, I hope to go back by myself."

Now I wish I could go back, Chen Qingsen thought, what about before?For so many years, it seems that he has been forgotten.He once wanted to be angry and not go back, but he felt that he was already in his thirties, so why should he be angry with Chen Shi.

Besides, he's dead.

When he returned to Qingmei City overnight and saw Mr. Chen lying in the coffin, he suddenly realized the fact that Mr. Chen was indeed gone.

His face lying in the coffin was still cold, and he didn't seem to have aged too much, but it was a little more vicissitudes than what he had seen before.

Chen Qingsen couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, he didn't even feel sad, he just felt dazed, he was not a child, so he naturally understood what death meant.

Moreover, Mr. Chen lived a life of licking blood with a knife, so this fate seems to be considered a good one.

But he was still at a loss in his heart. The Mr. Chen in his heart was indifferent but seemingly omnipotent. At this moment, he was just lying in the coffin.

Even if I don't call "Father", I will never reprimand myself again.

Just disappeared?There is no one named Chen Shi in the world anymore.

For several days in a row, Chen Qingsen, who was free, would fall into this kind of bewildered mood.

"I saw a child just now." Chen Qingsen said to the old man, "He is so tall, he should be in high school." He looked at the old man's drooping eyelids, "...is that Mr. Chen's child?"

"Mr. Chen has only one child, you." The old man said, "There are only two of us here, no strangers." He said to Chen Qingsen.

No strangers?

What happened to this child?

Chen Qingsen suspected that the old man was lying to him, so he took back the photo, left the old man's door, and sat on the sofa in the living room.

The Chen family's old house, where there were only two people, looked extremely scary at night.

Perhaps because of the old house, Chen's house has always been somewhat humid, and every time it rains, Chen Qingsen feels sad.And Mr. Chen rarely lives in the house.

So in the upper and lower floors of the house, there are almost only him and Aunt Mei on weekdays.

In fact, Mr. Chen was not like this when he was a child. Sitting on the sofa, Chen Qingsen thought that although the Mr. Chen in his memory was indifferent, he would not be so indifferent.

He's just aloof.

I seldom smile at ordinary times, but I still have some patience with myself.

When did that change?After divorcing his mother?Or after growing up slowly?

Chen Qingsen tried his best to squeeze out the memories of that time from his mind.He thought Mr. Chen's attitude changed after he grew up in junior high school.

He doesn't like to go home, compared to his previous indifference, perhaps he can only be described as indifference.

When Chen Qingsen was young, he also told Aunt Mei about his father’s neglect of him. At that time, Aunt Mei told him that because he grew up, Mr. Chen hoped that he could become a qualified heir.

But Mr. Chen didn't reveal anything about the Green Gang to him from the beginning to the end, as if he was a complete outsider, and he was excluded from his own gang.
