hope for redemption

I will be buried in the sunny sand that is warm all year round,

During the day, I take a nap on the coconut tree that retains the warmth of the sun,

At dusk, listen to the long and continuous camel bells and watch the tide.

Watching the ginger-beer-drunk sunset burn through the clouds,

Looking at the lights of thousands of homes lit up by lovers laughing and children playing,

Watching the silver disk rise from the secret sea,

Watching them mingle and linger at that moment.

Under the witness of the Milky Way in the sky, I boarded the moon ladder to embrace the brightest and gentlest light in the world.

Stephen Stanford

01,12,1983-21,03,2012

Jiang Xi held a bouquet of tangerine flowers and looked at the epitaph engraved on Song Dengchen's tombstone. Bean-sized tears burst out of his eyes again, making shallow dimples on the sand in front of his toes.

He knelt down and brushed the sand off the tombstone, and placed the delicate and brilliant terrier oranges in his arms in front of the tombstone, standing upright in the center of all the bouquets.

Jiang Xi thought, let him be selfish for once, squeeze out other people's bouquets, occupy this best position and place the flowers he presented for Song Dengchen.

'Ding-'

The bell in the pastor's hand rang, Jiang Xi stood up slowly, took a glass of ginger beer from the tray raised by the pastor, and slowly sprinkled the wine in the glass on the sand in front of the bouquet pile.

The sweetness and spiciness of the ginger beer blends with the dry and salty smell in the sand, and is wrapped in the wind and drifts into the distance.

"Ding-"

The rattle in the pastor's hand rang again, and Jiang Xi took the ring chain in his hand and folded his hands together, bowed to Song Dengchen's tombstone, and then followed the pastor's guidance to the wooden bench beside him.

At this time, the setting sun, the sea surface, and the coastline seem to have merged into one, and the water and the sky meet, extending it to an invisible end.

All the candles that can be seen everywhere have also been lit. The candles swaying in the wind are bright and soft, lighting up the secluded coastal sandy land without disturbing the night where time is intertwined.

Song Dengchen's cemetery was built on a small island around Broome. The site was chosen according to his wishes, and even the clothes worn by the people who came to worship and the time of worship were basically in line with his wishes.

The loosest and most comfortable white clothes, the most gentle and romantic night.

The only thing that refuted his wishes was that the Stanford family's pastoral ceremony, which had remained unchanged for many years, forcibly put an old-fashioned and dull shackle on this worship.

The tide is receding, and the archbishop wearing a heavy robe is still standing on the high platform, chanting incomprehensible Sanskrit, and there are a few people sitting sporadically on the rows of wooden benches.

Jiang Xi looked around, and sure enough, he found An Sheng who was one step ahead of him in a familiar place.He walked softly across the sandy corridor and sat down beside her.

As soon as he sat down, he heard An Sheng say: "The tangerine you chose is very beautiful, it will make him happy."

An Sheng's tone was very calm, which was not normal.The pair of sunglasses on her face basically covered most of her face, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

Jiang Xi looked at her worriedly, flicked the chain in his hand and replied: "I put the flower in the middle, he will definitely see it."

An Sheng didn't blame Jiang Xi for doing this, but she responded with admiration and pride: "The bouquets of those people don't need to appear here. He won't like such formulaic things without any sincerity." .”

Jiang Xi knew that An Sheng was angry.At this time of the year, only people within the Stanford family can come to worship, but as time goes by, their feelings for Song Dengchen are getting weaker and weaker, and their reluctance under the pressure of the family leader is becoming more and more obvious. .

Everyone came and went in a hurry, and some of them still wanted to make a good appearance, but they just listened to a few words in this sandy pasture, sat for a while, and then left.

There are not many people who can really sit on this shallow sandy beach with Song Dengchen's wish with nostalgia.

And he and An Sheng are two of the few.

They are Song Dengchen's real family members.

Jiang Xi wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes, pretended to be listening to the scriptures and looked ahead, then quickly held An Sheng's hand, pretending to be calm and said: "It is enough that we are here. We That's his real family."

An Sheng's pupils hidden under the sunglasses shrank, and his heart skipped a beat.It took a while for her to find her voice, and tried her best to keep her voice steady and replied, "Yes, we are a family."

Feeling the strength of the grip in his hand, Jiang Xi looked at the scene where water and sky merged in the distance, and asked with a smile, "Will there be a moon ladder today?"

"No, the full moon ended the day before yesterday." An Sheng said with some regret.

Broome's moon ladder is a spectacle that will only appear within three days after the full moon. When the full moon like a silver plate rises, its gentle moonlight will fill the shallows, and the moonlight reflected by the fine sand will shine on the ebbing seawater. above, projecting a ladder-like reflection, also known as the 'Moon Ladder'.

Jiang Xi also let out a sigh of regret, but immediately changed a relaxed tone and comforted: "It doesn't matter, it has always been there in the past few years, and it's okay to miss a year occasionally."

"Nor last year." An Sheng said.

"Huh?" Jiang Xi asked puzzled, "Where did you not..."

"You weren't here last year." An Sheng turned his head to meet his gaze, and said with reproach, "You weren't here at this time last year."

It was only then that Jiang Xi realized that he had been away for a year, not only was he not there that year, he didn't even think about this day, he was intoxicated in that gentle village named Lin Wang.

I feel ashamed when I think about it now, but I have no regrets.

He also understood why An Sheng picked this matter out on purpose, and at the same time, he also knew that An Sheng wanted to hear what he had to say, not just what to say, but also to make a promise.

But Jiang Xi couldn't keep that promise.He couldn't say something like "I will be here every year in the future", what An Sheng wanted to hear, and the promise he wanted him to make.

He is going to leave after all.

Looking at Jiang Xi's tightly closed lips, An Sheng's eyes turned red suddenly, and the nasal voice that was originally hidden was undoubtedly revealed. He clasped Jiang Xi's hand firmly, and shouted: "You were not here last year! You were not here at this time last year, and you did not do it for him." Serving terriers, not pouring him ginger beer, not pouring him..."

"Sister," Jiang Xi called out helplessly and sadly, looked at her fluttering nose, and said with difficulty, "If I can, I will bring Lin Wang to worship him every year, and accompany him from early morning... "

'Snapped! '

Jiang Xi was slapped violently by An Sheng before he could finish his sentence. The clear and crisp slap was not loud, but was covered by the murmur of Sanskrit chanting.

But it exploded in Jiang Xi's ears like the explosion of a cannonball, which made the eardrums hurt, and the buzzing sound shattered all thoughts.

When Jiang Xi came back to his senses, An Sheng had half dragged him to Song Dengchen's tombstone.

Looking at the tombstone of his former lover, An Sheng couldn't restrain his emotions any longer, and kicked Jiang Xi's popliteal so viciously with his slender [-]cm high-heeled shoes.

Seeing his expression of enduring pain, An Sheng grabbed his hair and forced him to look up at Song Dengchen's tombstone, and roared viciously with tears rolling down his face: "Look at his tombstone for me and repeat what you just said! talk!"

"Tell him that the child he loves the most and looks forward to the most, the child he has worked hard for several years, will abandon him for a worthless man! You tell him! You tell him!"

Jiang Xi gritted her teeth and endured the heart-rending pain coming from her popliteal cavity, An Sheng's hysterical screams and the frightened whispers of the people around came to her ears from far and near.He looked at the tombstone illuminated by flickering candles and surrounded by orange blossoms in front of him, and the sour feeling of bone erosion immediately swept through his whole body densely.

He looked away, and said to the eyes behind An Sheng's sunglasses: "I will tell him, but it's not what you said, and it won't be in this state."

"What did you say?" An Sheng's high-pitched tone was mixed with disbelief, "You..."

"What are you doing!"

Just when An Sheng wanted to continue questioning, a deep and sullen questioning voice interrupted the confrontation between the two.

An Sheng quickly restrained his exposed emotions, put on that calm and cold shell again, let go of the hand holding Jiang Xi's hair, and looked at the person who came with a slim look: "Sean, I'm just admitting my mistake."

Jiang Xi also immediately got up from the ground with his aching legs, straightened his clothes, and calmly looked at Sean Stanford, Song Dengchen's (Stephen's) father, who was walking towards them.

There are two people behind Sean, Cronus and Jodi, one is Song Dengchen's own brother, the other is Song Dengchen's half brother.

Jiang Xi bent down slightly, and shouted respectfully: "Sean."

Even a white suit can't conceal the coercion and bloody blood that poured out of Sean's body. Even Cronus, who is usually feared in Noah's Ark, is unconsciously short in front of his father. , appearing extremely docile.

If the power held in An Sheng's hands has reached a height that is beyond reach, then the things in Sean's hands have reached a height that can't even be looked up to.

For such a person, don't think about clinging to them, let alone fighting against them.All you have to do is obediently keep your duty, and just ask him to ignore yourself.

Jiang Xi didn't meet him many times, and what he said was limited to self-introduction when they met for the first time. The relationship was just a greeting on the basis of strangers.

It was already enough to be nervous when we met, but now it is still like this, Jiang Xi's muscles all over his body are subconsciously tense, nervousness, fear, panic, and all kinds of emotions are mixed in his mind, messing up all his thoughts, and his brain is blank.

"Do you think now is a good time to admit your mistake?" Sean's chilling eagle eyes scanned slowly.

An Sheng Weiwei stepped forward and blocked half of Jiang Xi's body, bent down to apologize: "I'm sorry, there will be no second time."

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Sean's eyes, but he didn't want to pursue it any further. He looked away to see if the tombstone was damaged, but was stung by the object on the sand.

There was a hint of panic in his calm voice, pointing at the item and saying, "Cronus, pick it up and give it to me."

Cronus followed his father's instructions and picked up the chain that fell on the sand and handed it to Sean.

"Sean!" Jiang Xi rushed forward and grabbed the chain, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's mine, and I accidentally dropped it."

"Your?" Sean stared at Jiang Xi heavily, like a wolf king fighting in the dark.

Jiang Xi got goosebumps all over his body from being stared at, and with difficulty pulled the corners of his mouth and replied: "Yes..It's mine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately added: "It was given to me by Deng...Stephen."

"Well," Sean finally withdrew his eyes that seemed to tear people apart, stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

"Ah..." Jiang Xi was stunned, he didn't expect him to say that.But he reacted immediately, succumbed to the other party's coercion, and handed over the ring.

Sean lifted the silver ring, stroked the cross pendant on it, and asked without emotion, "I didn't see you last year, why didn't you come?"

"I...."

"ALS was sent by me to practice." An Sheng took a step forward and explained, following the movement and using the cover of his body, he stretched out his hand and scratched Jiang Xi's trouser seam.

Jiang Xi felt the sensation coming from the outside of her thigh, moved her body back slightly, and handed over the home game to An Sheng.This is a small gesture between them, and it means not to let more words exchange dominance.

Sean twirled the silver beads on the ring chain and asked with great interest, "Oh? So what happened?"

"Very good, perfect." An Sheng smiled with satisfaction, with pride and pride.

That expression, as if Jiang Xi had really completed a exile experience perfectly.

"Well..." Sean responded lightly, with no emotion in his tone.After a while, he continued to ask, "What did you go to practice?"

Jiang Xi's heart skipped a beat, he knew that Sean had doubts, otherwise he wouldn't have been so inquisitive.

Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Xi's back. He wanted to take a look at An Sheng but he couldn't. At this time, he couldn't show the slightest loophole. Only by stabilizing himself can he not hold back An Sheng.

An Sheng is obviously more experienced than Jiang Xi. Even if he is afraid in his heart, he can smile openly and dignifiedly. The lies he tells are thoughtless, but he can tell them as well as the truth.

"Deprive him of money and power, and throw him to live in a slum for a while. He is still capable and lives a decent life."

Sean continued to spin the silver bead and asked, "Where's the slum?"

An Sheng said: "China, Hunan."

Sean seemed to think about the geographical location of Hunan, and after a while, he turned his head to Jiang Xi and asked, "How do you feel?"

Jiang Xi followed An Sheng's words and replied half-truthfully: "It's not difficult, but it still opened my eyes."

"Um..." Sean drawled again.

Jiang Xi's palms were sweating, and he immediately recalled all the things he had seen in Lin County in his mind, and selected some incidents that could be expanded and enriched, and prepared to respond to Sean's next inquiry.

But how could Jiang Xi be able to guess the thoughts of people like Sean, and the direction of his question suddenly changed: "Why didn't I see you wearing this before?"

"Ah? Which one?" Jiang Xi was confused when asked.

"This." Sean shook the chain on his hand.

"Ah... I found this when I was packing the suitcase I brought from Guangzhou recently, and it was just about to be the day of worship, so I took it out and wore it." Jiang Xi explained.

"Well," Sean asked, "when did he give it to you?"

Jiang Xi didn't even need to think about it, and immediately replied: "The day you left."

On the day Song Dengchen left, Jiang Xi didn't let Jiang Xi see him off, so he put the chain in his hand, smiled half-jokingly and said, "Don't forget Brother Dengchen" and left.

This was the last item Song Dengchen left for himself, Jiang Xi had to keep it safe no matter what he said, so he went to the jewelry store and bought a red velvet gift box to pack it.

It's also thanks to Jiang Xi that he bought a very expensive gift box to pack it in, otherwise this ring chain would be randomly crumpled up and thrown in a corner of the box like Jiang Xi's other bracelets. Rust corrupts.

Sean's eyes jumped suddenly, and the strength of rubbing the silver beads gradually increased.

He didn't speak and everyone didn't dare to open their mouths. For a moment, a quiet and oppressive atmosphere enveloped everyone present. Accompanied by the humming Sanskrit voice of the archbishop not far away, there was a feeling of being in an ancient Egyptian sacrificial field. Trembling.

I don't know how long this atmosphere lasted until Sean broke it with a chuckle containing complex emotions.He handed the ring to Jodi who was at hand, and raised his hand in Jiang Xi's direction.

Jodi immediately understood what he meant, took the chain with both hands and walked over to return it to Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi licked his lips, and carefully put the ring on. There was still residual warmth from Sean's palm on the ring, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable holding it.

Sean glanced at Jiang Xi meaningfully and said, "Since he left it for you, wear it well and don't let me see you throwing it on the ground again."

Jiang Xi nodded with relief, and replied repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay."

Sean glanced at the ring again, then looked away and said, "Let's leave something for tomorrow, we'll stop here for today."

Having said that, he tilted his head slightly again, and said to Jodi: "Let them all go, it's enough."

"Okay, father." Jodi replied, and then immediately turned to the archbishop and priest who were chanting.

"You guys also leave the island early." Sean straightened his clothes, left this sentence and left.

"Ok."

"it is good."

"Jiaojiao," Cronus walked up to Jiang Xi unhurriedly and smiled, "I've grown a lot taller."

"Well, yes, it has grown seven centimeters taller." Jiang Xi replied.

When Jiang Xi first arrived in Linxian County, he was not 1.8 meters tall. Later, during the National Day holiday, Lin Wang pressed himself on top of him, biting the back of his neck, and muttered that he must have grown taller, and now he can do it without pillows. Can't go deep.Then the next morning, he took Jiang Xi to measure his height, and it turned out that he was a lot taller, reaching 1.8 meters six.

Recalling the past, Jiang Xi's brows and eyes softened involuntarily, rubbing the luxuriant candlelight to moisten his eyes with joyful emotions, and faint orange red bloomed at the end of his eyes.

Cronus thought he was so happy because of the fact that he had grown taller, so he smiled mockingly in his heart, but there was still a smile of sympathy on his face: "There is still room to grow. Jiaojiao, your injury has recovered How, have you tried the tonic I sent you?"

"Ah? You send..."

"Cronus, I won't bother you to worry about it." An Sheng stood between the two with a smile, and said as if he didn't want to talk, "It's late, we'll go to the island first."

Cronus was not surprised by her attitude at all, and still smiled gentlemanly: "Okay." After that, he turned his head again, looked at Jiang Xi, and extended an invitation: "Jiaojiao, let's have a meal together if you are free."

"Okay, Ziran..." Jiang Xi read out the familiar yet unfamiliar name.

After waiting for An Sheng to officially greet each other, Jiang Xi followed An Sheng off the island.

The two were speechless all the way, but when Jiang Xi got into the car and closed the car door, An Sheng said abruptly from the side: "The farther away you are from Cronus, the better, and it's best never to have any contact with him. No!"

"What?" Jiang Xi was frightened by her sudden yell and kicked violently. After digesting it for a long time, she replied, "What's the matter, why do you have such a big opinion on him? In Guangzhou..."

"I told you to stay away! Stay away! Just stay away!" An Sheng exploded suddenly, screaming, "Have I ever hurt you before? Why do you do this every time? Why, why! You just listen to me and do it well!"

"I..." Jiang Xi looked at her in bewilderment, opened his mouth to say something, but was blocked by the pouring out of his heart.

Ke Diana, who was sitting opposite, was also startled by An Sheng, but the quality of the special assistant was still there, and she immediately reacted and held her down, reminding in a low voice: "Ann, we are still outside, you are too loud, others will I can hear you."

I don't know if it's because of the special relationship of today's day, but An Sheng's emotions, which can be calmed down by himself once reminded, are uncharacteristically at this moment. Just like the firecrackers lit above, it only takes a little spark to blow up several barrels one after another.

Bang bang bang, a frantic bombardment.

"Can you grow up, can you understand some things, can you stop being so impulsive, short-sighted, and so naive! You see, you have been back with me for so long, has Lin Wang come to you once! No, I Let me tell you, Jiang Xi doesn’t have it! He is just staying in Lin County to live his comfortable life, and is preparing to work in the Ministry of State in the future!”

"Look for yourself, your eldest young master is working hard to treat people's diseases, selling gems and sneaking into the intranet to find information and make transactions, and even posting them eagerly and sending them to someone's bed to sleep with him, coaxing you for a lifetime You have to take it seriously for the rest of your life. Do you think that he is just lying on the bed like that drug addict without heroin? You!"

"I'll tell you right now, no, not at all! His illness was cured, he passed the selection, and the future is bright. I've forgotten about you so long ago, and you're the only one who is still talking about you, you... .”

"An Sheng!" Jiang Xi's forehead twitched angrily, and finally shouted unbearably, "Evidence! Evidence!"

An Sheng obviously didn't expect Jiang Xi to ask himself this way. For a while, he felt like a balloon that had been punctured, and suddenly he was out of breath, and murmured dully: "What...what..."

"I said," Jiang Xi said with a sullen face, "evidence, give me the evidence. Give me the evidence that you said he lived a good life and was very happy."

An Sheng is also an old man who has experienced many battles. He immediately adjusted his state after losing his mind, and replied with a cold face: "I will send someone to send it right away."

"Send what? Send the ones you synthesized?" Jiang Xi sneered disdainfully, "An Sheng, you don't say you understand you 100%, but I still understand your methods in these matters. If there is such a It’s the same thing, you’ve already thrown that pile of photos and videos in front of me, why did you wait so long to say it.”

"Don't say anything that is concerned about my feelings, and you don't want to break my heart. On the contrary, you wish that my heart would be broken sooner, and it would be best to despair once. From then on, I will trust and rely on you wholeheartedly, thinking that only you are the most reliable."

Even though An Sheng was exposed, An Sheng didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest, on the contrary, he was agitated by Jiang Xi's tone, pointing at Jiang Xi crazily and yelling: "Those are fake, I admit it! But why did I do this?" , It's for you! I'll pave the way for you, and you can just follow the plan, why, why..."

"That's the life you counted for me, it's not what I want!" Jiang Xi said, "And I'm not suitable to stay in Noah's Ark, what Noah's Ark needs is to be like a robot, without any emotion, A robot that can operate for a long time without a single weakness."

"But I'm not. I'm a person, a person with rich feelings. I can't calculate, understand, and be ruthless. Moreover, I have the weakness that you most despise."

"Maybe you call it 'weakness', and you feel ashamed of having it. But I never feel that way, it's not weakness, it's innocence corrupted by your power, and I've never felt guilty about keeping my innocence Ashamed, ashamed."

The expression on An Sheng's face clearly stated that I do not agree with these big characters, and said sharply: "First of all, this is not the life I calculated for you, but your life should be like this. Brother Chen chose you as the heir, From that moment on your life should be..."

"What do you mean my life should be like this?" Jiang Xi felt that she was unreasonable, "Are you crazy, my life is up to me, not according to your plan and Brother Deng Chen's plan. We are a family , I am also very honored to be selected as the successor by Brother Deng Chen, but this does not mean that I must accept it, must inherit his unfinished business, and complete the path he should walk."

"An Sheng, I am me, Song Dengchen is Song Dengchen, we are two independent individuals. In the future, I will have my career, my lover, my..."

"Your career is to complete Brother Chen's career!" An Sheng screamed fiercely and interrupted, accusing him convulsively, "Did you still have a heart when you said this, but if you still remember Brother Chen's kindness to you , you wouldn’t even say such conscience-stricken words!”

Jiang Xi was also completely enraged by these words, too many people have said this to him along the way.He yelled angrily: "Yes! It was Song Dengchen who developed my language sense ability, and it was Song Dengchen who devoted himself to taking care of me and accompanied me for three years. During those three years, what he taught me was the foundation of my life. Not too much."

"I, Jiang Xi, am not a heartless person. If you want me to repay him, thank him, or enshrine him as a god, you can. But only, you can't ask me to contribute my life."

"An Sheng, Song Dengchen is dead, I beg you, don't make me hate him. I just want to remember how gentle he was, who was let down by the world when I think about him in the future."

"Not...the one who stole my life for three years."

Immediately after Jiang Xi finished speaking, An Sheng slapped her for the second time today, probably because she was numb from the pain, Jiang Xi didn't feel anything, she turned her head slowly and looked at her calmly.

Even though An Sheng was wearing sunglasses, she couldn't hide the resentment and disappointment on her face. Her lips were trembling uncontrollably, and she gritted her teeth and said a few words bitterly: "Get out."

"I hope you can listen to what I'm saying." Jiang Xi got out of the car after leaving this sentence, and turned around neatly to get into the car behind which the mercenary was sitting.

Also as Diana reminded, too loud will be heard.Even if Jiang Xi was sitting in the back seat of the last car, when he leaned against the back of the seat and closed his eyes, he could still hear faint screams and roars coming from the front from time to time.

Jiang Xi trembled his eyelashes and thought: This is really the worst day since he returned to Australia.

Logically speaking, during a quarrel, if one of the two parties leaves halfway, it will actually act as a buffer, giving the other party a chance to calm down.But there are also a few periods where it will have a counterproductive effect and intensify the conflict, such as now.

Seeing Jiang Xi turn around and get off the car without hesitation, An Sheng not only didn't get angry because of his obedience, but felt that he was poured with a bucket of hot oil again, and he was so angry that he wanted to tear the whole world apart.

It may be because of the special day today, or it may be because of long-term endurance and depression, in short, at this moment, she can't care about anything else, she has no reason and roars like a cursing shrew.

An Sheng thumped the seat frantically, screaming with all his strength: "How could he say such a thing! How could it be possible! We value him so much, love him so much, put all our efforts and energy into him, and only ask him to stand up. Get higher, become better, less detours and a straight Zhuangkang Road, and come to the end comfortably.”

"What about him, what did he do and what did he say!" At this point, An Sheng stared at Ke Diana, eagerly seeking approval, "Listen, listen to what he just said What!"

But at this moment, Ke Diana seemed to be a completely different person, the humiliating respect on her face disappeared, and the calm and wise aura of a superior person lingered around her.

But Diana looked coldly at An Sheng, who was like a madman, and replied: "Is there something wrong with what he said? Isn't that the reason. Everyone's life should be decided by themselves."

"Not everyone!" An Sheng interrupted screaming, pointed at her angrily and asked, "Do you think you have the right to say such a thing? Don't you think it's ridiculous to say it from your mouth? If everyone Make up your own mind, what are you still doing here in the first generation!"

But Diana, no, it should be said that she is the first generation with a different face.She put the tablet aside, looked at An Sheng quietly and said, "Because of that responsibility. You are the same, aren't you?"

"Yes, it's because of that responsibility!" An Sheng was reminded by her, and suddenly realized, as if catching a life-saving duckweed, he kept muttering, "Responsibility, responsibility. He also has to bear that responsibility."

Seeing that she was a little calm, Diana said: "Don't get excited, there are more important things you need to sort out. Stephen gave ALS a new start in life and helped him lay the foundation for his life. This kindness he It must be paid back. But as he said just now, the way of repayment is chosen by him, not what we give him must accept.”

"If you insist on imposing it on him now, I'm afraid it won't be long before his heart is biased towards us, and Stephen's kindness to him will be exhausted."

"It's not just a vulgar thing like Youen!" An Sheng interrupted, "He is the heir chosen by Brother Chen, he is our child! Do you know, just like the prince who must inherit the throne of the king, his body He shoulders the responsibility, shoulders the responsibility of inheriting Brother Chen's lifelong language career."

"Yes, the prince wants to inherit the throne. But the premise is that he wants to be a prince!" The first generation rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, "How long are you going to deceive yourself, the biggest problem now is that ALS doesn't want to be an heir at all. What a prince. Now you, like a paranoid madwoman, are forcing him to wear the crown and robes."

"Then what else can I do!" An Sheng couldn't hold back at last, and cried out in a broken voice, "Obviously everything went smoothly, but... But everything has changed since he came back. It's going to be a year!"

"I shouldn't have followed Jiang Xu's actions to send him away. No matter how dangerous it is, at least everything can be controlled by my side, and it won't become like this. I can't take my heart back..."

The first generation sighed helplessly: "It's a foregone conclusion, Ann. If you and Stephen had chosen more heirs..."

"It's not that easy," An Sheng laughed self-deprecatingly, "Jiaojiao...is the only child who made Brother Chen and I have the urge to take care of him. If, if it wasn't for Brother Chen, he ended up like this, I I don’t want to force him or my own children like this.”

"Don't you think I don't know the danger of Noah's Ark? Even if I am not for Brother Chen, I may not be willing to stay here. But... I have no choice, from the moment we know the truth behind it There is no way out."

An Sheng lowered her eyes, the hatred and firmness in her eyes were burning together, she clenched her hands tightly, gritted her teeth and said: "I, you, Jiaojiao, all those who have been opened up by Brother Chen should be grateful for him. Murder for life."

"It should be like this." The first generation looked out of the window with heavy eyes, and the mountains and forests in the distance blended with the night, like a raging dark world.

After thinking for a while, she analyzed: "Since you have decided not to drag him into this battle of revenge, but let him fight the battle of succession, you should understand that his heart must be taken back. This is the most urgent problem we need to solve right now.”

"I know," An Sheng calmed down slowly, her rationality and IQ began to function online, she said thoughtfully, "Is it the rebellious psychology of adolescence, the more I don't let him do anything, the more he wants to do something. You said I want Why don't we just let him be with that... Lin Wang, and let him take his own troubles before taking him back, anyway, our plan has not been completed yet, and we haven't reached his stage yet."

The first generation immediately raised a question: "How can you be so sure that he will suffer in this matter? What if it really takes a long time?"

"He's young. Are you still young? Have you ever seen someone who was infatuated with each other until the end and looked at each other with disgust? A relationship that has not been honed by society and life will not last long." An Sheng said firmly.

"Yes, but don't forget, both of them are people who have worked hard in Noah's Ark." The first generation pointed out sharply, "I won't talk about ALS. After so many years of experience in the upper class, although you have no Let him see the darkest side, but there are really many people and things to see compared to other people."

"His friend is good, based on the information we found... Heh, if it wasn't for the riot, if it was for any other milder disease, it's really hard to say who is in charge of the Precision Department now."

"If these two children can still believe that each other is the only one after going through so much... they can't be treated as ordinary incidents."

"And the most important point," the first generation reached out and knocked on the seat, with calculations in his eyes, "Why do you always want to separate them? He is absolutely accurate."

Listening to the first generation's meaningful and elongated tone, An Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, and complex emotions of annoyance, shock, and epiphany were mixed in her eyes.

An Sheng's chest rose and fell sharply, and his voice was mixed with the words of "Occasional Treasures"
