brand on heart

Lingering all night, the next day, Shi Yan failed to get up on time, when he woke up, it was already bright outside, so he had to check the time.Soon to be late.

Shi Yan lifted the quilt and rubbed his sore and weak waist to go to the bathroom. After the last time last night, Mu Qing helped him clean up.

After washing and tidying up, he went back to the bedroom to change clothes. Mu Qing had already woken up, hugging the quilt and sitting on the bed, staring at the morning sun outside the window in a daze.

He changed into a shirt and suit in front of him without any hesitation, and then took his briefcase. When he was about to leave, seeing Mu Qing still sitting there with a blank expression, he couldn't help but remind him, "Young Master Mu, I'm going to be late soon, don't you get up ?"

Mu Qing hugged the quilt, bowed her head and hugged her knees, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am very scared, Shi Yan, so I have never dared to ask how you have lived these six years. I am afraid that once I know the past, I will If you are crazy, you will lose the courage to continue loving you. I am actually very timid."

Just like six years ago, because he was afraid that his whole-hearted love would not get a satisfactory result, he cut off the thread of love ruthlessly and walked away.

Obviously, he was the one who dragged him into this sea of ​​suffering, but he couldn't be responsible to the end.

"Yeah." Clearly, Shi Yan nodded, and smiled indifferently in the morning light, "It's all over, let's find someone who loves you more than me in the future."

"You and I are both at fault for this relationship. After all, I am actually more responsible. You can take it as your own relief, and maybe it won't be so uncomfortable. "

As if it had nothing to do with him, he comforted me.

Shi Yan's eyes were quiet and silent.

To this person, he couldn't resent him, he loved him as before, but things changed and people changed, the sea changed, and they no longer had the innocence they had when they first fell in love.

With Mu Mu, Shi Yan had to consider whether Mu Qing regained this relationship now. After more than half a year of struggle, she could no longer turn back.

Probably, this is also the price of growth.

Mu Qing hugged his head violently, curled up into a ball as if trying to escape, and said in a muffled voice, "Go, I'm fine."

"Well. Take care of yourself in the future." There is a dinner party tonight, and there may be no way to come back to live. It is best to say everything that needs to be said now, so as not to leave any regrets.

When he walked out of the room and was about to close the door, Mu Qing suddenly lifted the quilt and knelt on the bed and called him loudly: "Shiyan, Shiyan!!"

Shi Yan stopped to look at him.

"If, if I pursue you again, can you give me another chance? As the saying goes, it's only three times, and I haven't reached three times, can you give me another chance?"

As he said that, Mu Qing wept unsightly, just like the big boy who would look at him with a smirk and starry eyes many years ago.

However, one of them is already standing, and the other is already 27. They have been wandering on the edge of life and death several times, and they are no longer young.

Shi Yan didn't answer, and gently closed the door.

Mu Qing's aggrieved cry came from the room.

Shi Yan also burst into tears, feeling anxious and in pain.

Inappropriately, he thought of the little poem that Mu Qing had left him.

The alley is long and curved, with no door or window. I took an old key and knocked on the thick wall.

His heart is haggard, and he has no hope to look forward to.

How to open that dust-covered heart door, Shi Yan herself has already forgotten.

Shi Yan didn't pay attention to whether Mu Qing came to work today. She was still very busy with work, and her voice became hoarse after three conference calls a day.

Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Mu Chunhao called repeatedly to ask him to leave work on time and not to be late for the party.

Being urged to no avail, he had to end work early and go back to the apartment to change into the evening dress. Mu Qing was not at home, but the suitcase and the box containing the books were opened and the contents were put back in their original places.

Shi Yan looked dumbfounded at the cleaned room, so all the work last night was for nothing?

What is this person thinking!

Almost pissed off, Shi Yan took out the suitcase that had been put back in the closet and planned to pack it again, when Mu Chunhao's life-threatening serial calls came in again at this time.

Forget it, come back and do it again.

Hastily put on the dress, tidied up and went out.

Meet Mu Chunhao and Ren Fang at the gate of the hotel villa.

The weather was not good, and it started to rain as soon as we got off the car. Fortunately, there were staff members in the parking lot to receive them, so as not to get caught in the rain.

This charity gala is held every year. Most of the CEOs of well-known Binhai entrepreneurial groups will attend or send representatives to participate. Of course, popular stars and other celebrities will help out.

Excitedly, Mu Chunhao dragged Ren Fang to walk the red carpet. At the entrance of the party, he ran into Song Rongqin who was walking arm in arm with his ex-wife.

Mu Chunhao was so scared that he almost cramped, pushed Ren Fang away, and said loudly: "I, I have nothing to do with you, don't talk nonsense, don't get me wrong, I have someone I like, and I will be loyal to him."

Ren Fang was so angry that she stepped on his instep with a ten-centimeter high-heeled shoe, gritted her teeth and nodded, "Oh, is that so? Is the boss so infatuated? Who used to change boyfriends and girlfriends every three days? Who was it back then? And because of rape, rape was brought to court and almost sentenced?"

"I, my jio!! Ren Fang, you dead woman! Get your feet off of me quickly! It's all a misunderstanding, someone framed you." Mu Chunhao bent down in pain and yelled, he couldn't forget the corner of his eyes The thunderbolts generally kept looking at Song Rongqin and his wife.

If it weren't for the emotional conflict, the two would be a couple of golden boys and jade girls.

The woman is a lady of the Ren family, a scientist who graduated from an internationally renowned university, and her family is well off.

It's a pity that due to family interests, I have to swallow my anger on this marriage, and even if I'm divorced now, I still have to put on a show in front of the public.

Before entering the arena, the ex-wife glanced at the two people who were arguing at the door with disgust, and said in a low voice: "Shame on me!"

Song Rongqin remained silent, and looked back at Mu Chunhao, who was staring at him eagerly. The eagerness in the other person's eyes could not be ignored, so he couldn't help smiling at him, which was regarded as comforting.

Mu Chunhao immediately stood there like a fool, laughing so hard that his saliva almost flowed out.

Ren Fang pinched him, "Let's go, Fachun doesn't look at the occasion, blocking the door, what to do, go in, I want to show off everyone, sign on the signature wall!"

"Oh, what are you pulling, you have no restraint at all." Mu Chunhao was dragged onto the red carpet.

Shi Yan didn't follow them around, and entered the party venue from the backstage.

Although I don't have much contact with some celebrities, I have met quite a few celebrities in the mall over the years. Harvest has Jinghua as a backer, and outside companies will more or less give them some face.

After a round of greetings, I went to the buffet area on the side to get something to eat. I would like to drink later, so I had to eat something first.

While picking up the food, I overheard the person next to me say, "I heard that people from the Yan family are here today?"

"Really?"

"It should be true. Yan Shixun had an accident in the capital, so he probably came back to find help."

"The emperor is far away from the high mountain in Binhai, how can he control the land in the capital city, he is really in a hurry to go to the doctor."

"You can't say that. You can't help with other things. It shouldn't be a problem to seek capital turnover. Besides, they belong to the same faction as the Gu family. If the Gu family doesn't help, they shouldn't be dragged into trouble together?"

"Gu Liancheng is just a small person, how useful can he be."

"Hmph! You don't know that, but Gu Liancheng—"

The person next to him suddenly pulled the companion who was speaking, and the two looked up at the people who suddenly gathered in the center of the venue.

Shi Yan also turned around and looked over.

Yan Jun, who hadn't seen him for many years, was chatting with several bigwigs in Binhai under the guidance of Gu Yiming.

Thinking of the face of that person when they competed for Meng Yun in the hospital back then, Shi Yan felt uncomfortable for a while. She simply ate something, put down the plate, asked the waiter to get a glass of champagne, walked out of the venue, and went to the garden outside to breathe.

The rain was much weaker than before, and under the lights of the garden, you could see the drizzle of rain. There was a moist scent of flowers in the air, and melodious piano music came from behind.

It is Debussy's "Garden in the Rain" for the occasion.

Shi Yan took a deep breath and walked to a flower stand. Because of the rain, there were not many people outside the house, and there were only clear music in his ears, and the sound of dripping water from the eaves falling on the ground. The sound of rain and dew falling on the thick plantain leaves.

The roses blooming on the flower stand, the petals were reservedly gathered, the fragrance of the flowers was dense, Shi Yan took a sip of wine, thinking to herself, the air outside is fresh, so she should stay outside for a while, and then go in after the party starts.

Under the light, the shadow of the flower vine fell on the wet ground, swaying gently, suddenly, a figure fell in front of it, and gradually approached.

Shi Yan consciously stepped aside, presumably someone who came out to breathe like herself.

"The air outside is very good." The long-lost familiar voice broke the silence of the night, Shi Yan's breathing was stagnant, and he turned to look at the tall man walking beside him.

I haven't seen him for five years, but he has grown into a real man, calm and charming. His well-fitting suit and elegant posture make him look wise and calm.

After a while, Shi Yan recovered her voice and asked tremblingly, "Meng Yun?"

It was almost like a dream, he was standing in the dim light, with the dark roses on his shoulders, making him look so illusory and unreal.

"Ok!"

Turning around, facing Shi Yan, showing a gentle smile, "It's me, Shi Yan."

Shi Yan could barely hold the wine glass in her hand, and hurriedly stepped forward two steps to get a better look, "Are you back?"

"I'm back." Meng Yun smiled and took the wine glass from his hand and put it on the wooden table beside him.

Shi Yan didn't know what expression to put on, whether to laugh or cry, so she took two steps forward and almost threw herself into Meng Yun's arms, hugging him with open arms, "Welcome home, Meng Yun."

The raindrops on the flowers fell on his shoulders, and Meng Yun also hugged Shi Yan tightly, "I'm back, Shi Yan."

"Welcome home."

Between the years, between the mountains and the sea, and between the boundless world.

After wandering for many years, maybe what he was waiting for was this sincere welcome home, which could help him wash away his dust and exhaustion in an instant.
