Return to the Road of God

Chris Fayon's painting competition is still a common topic throughout Siri. Young people everywhere on the street are talking about the possible situation of this rematch, and many people have opened betting games to bet on the final first winner , and safale, which has attracted much attention from the beginning, has unexpectedly occupied the forefront of the betting list.

Ke Jing withdrew from a private betting club, but he was not as excited and expectant as other players who participated in the game. He was very worried that Ye Yufan's disappearance would last until the painting competition was over.

Recalling the process of getting acquainted with this person, Ke Jing felt a little dazed.

Ever since he went abroad, he has been out of gregariousness, resisting the world with his aloof appearance...until Ye Yufan appeared.

The other party was like a magnet attracting him closer, making him open his heart involuntarily.

In Ke Jing's subconscious mind, he always felt that he was different to Ye Yufan, and he also had a unique "possessive desire" for Ye Yufan. When he was with people he didn't approve of, he would feel extremely irritable, such as Ye Yufan's "association" with Tang Zhen back then, and Ye Yufan's different attitude towards Guan Hongze, and so on.

But he soon realized that he might be busy.Because Ye Yufan treats himself the same as he treats He Yuexi and Guo Zhekai—he is not special.

This is also the reason why Ke Jing was extremely angry when he knew that safale was Ye Yufan.

After the anger subsided, Ke Jing felt a little wronged again, like a child who didn't get the attention of the elders... But he couldn't do anything, Ye Yufan was not his, and others didn't care so much, so what right did he have to interfere?

As a result, Ke Jing vacillated between "wanting to get closer" and "keeping a distance", making himself extremely entangled.

Of course, it must be stated that Ke Jing's feelings for Ye Yufan are absolutely pure "friendship".

He attributed his special feelings for Ye Yufan to the magnetic field between people.

But then again, Ye Yufan seems to be attractive to everyone... The name of safale hanging high on the betting list can explain everything.

Now, another huge and weird mystery appeared on Ye Yufan. He involved everyone's hearts, including Bai Mu who was always independent and Fu Tingxin who was arrogant and conceited...

Ke Jing sighed deeply, feeling melancholy at Ye Yufan's "fading away".

At this moment, a somewhat unfamiliar voice called his Chinese name, and when he turned his head, he saw an "acquaintance" whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"...Qin Mengyuan?" Ke Jing was a little surprised, why did this guy come to Xili?

Qin Mengyuan approached with a smile, and warmly gave Ke Jing a hug: "I didn't expect you to recognize me, I'm really touched."

"What are you doing here?" Ke Jing thought he was looking for Guan Hongze or someone else, and just happened to meet him on the road, so he said hello by the way.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mengyuan looked at him and said, "I'm here to find you."

Ke Jing was a little confused: "Looking for me?"

"That's right," Qin Mengyuan looked around with a smile, "find a place to sit down and talk?"

Ke Jing never thought that Qin Mengyuan would come to Xili to find him. The only reason he could guess was that the other party wanted to invite him to join the other party's studio. He had read the domestic news, so he knew the development of "Meng Yuan" situation.

But he wondered, he hasn't graduated yet, is it worth it for Qin Mengyuan to abandon the company that is developing rapidly and travel all the way to Xili to invite him?The answer is, impossible.

... Then what happened to Qin Mengyuan?

In the cafe, Ke Jing looked suspiciously at Qin Mengyuan who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Why don't you find your 'old friend' to catch up with you?"

Qin Mengyuan smiled wryly: "I want to find him, but I'm afraid he won't have time to see me."

Ke Jing: "It's true, now that you're together, it will be embarrassing to see you."

Qin Mengyuan didn't argue with him, and easily changed the subject: "I told you on the phone, have you considered it?"

"I'm almost flattered," Ke Jing stared at him, "Let's get down to business, not that I'm leaving."

Qin Mengyuan smiled "puchi": "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, I really have something else to ask you."

Ke Jing snorted.

Qin Mengyuan said: "You know Xia Xiaochuan, right?"

When Ke Jing heard the name, his heart suddenly rose. Could it be that Qin Mengyuan wanted to ask him about "Xia Xiaochuan"?It's very possible... He has better candidates, such as Guan Hongze.

Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Mengyuan added another sentence: "Recently, the domestic media has been so hot, you should have never heard of it."

Since this is the case, Qin Mengyuan should have some understanding of Xia Xiaochuan, "Hey, I said, you can't use Xia Xiaochuan's name to set up the family of Strike Officer Hongze, right?" Ke Jing suddenly said.

Before, he thought that Xia Xiaochuan's tragedy was only about his children's affair and personal grievances, and did not connect him with the twists and turns of the three major families at all, but since Guan Hongze said that to him, he began to suspect that things were not so serious. easy.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mengyuan showed a surprised expression: "Why do you think so?"

Ke Jing froze for a moment, then waved his hand: "Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."

At this moment, Qin Mengyuan threw out a sentence that made Ke Jing completely dumbfounded: "Do you know that Xia Xiaochuan is your cousin?"

Ke Jing stared at Qin Mengyuan dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

Qin Mengyuan smiled: "It seems that you don't know anything about your mother at all."

Ke Jing: "..."

Qin Mengyuan: "Would you like to go back with me and find out what happened back then?"

-

Looking at the small villa that was transformed into a tavern and hostel in front of him, the man smiled wryly. Who would have thought that the two people those children were looking for were in the tavern one street away from them.

After checking the address on the note again, the man stepped in with a little hesitation.

"Hello..." The door of the room was knocked lightly, and the only waiter in the store apologized, "Sir, someone is looking for you."

Bai Changqing was stunned for a moment, is anyone looking for her?Who is it?

He glanced at Ye Yufan who was lying on the bed—he fell asleep again, and a silhouette of a human figure had just appeared on the drawing board beside the bed, but Ye Yufan became sleepy as he was drawing.

Now he seems to be exhausted extremely easily, Bai Changqing doesn't know why, he is a little worried.

After tucking the corner of the quilt for Ye Yufan, Bai Changqing stood up solemnly, lightly closed the door and went downstairs. When he saw someone coming, he was stunned.

"...Brother." The man in front of him was Bai Changqing's elder brother, Bai Junru.

Bai Changqing pulled out the chair and sat down.

The man in a thin gray sweater straightened his neckline and said, "You look good."

Seeing that Bai Changqing frowned slightly, Bai Junru slowly explained: "I know your credit card record, and then I went to that painting store."

Bai Changqing nodded slightly: "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

Bai Junru glanced at the direction upstairs: "Bai Ling said, you took that child named Safale away."

Bai Changqing responded lightly, but there was no other response.

Bai Junru looked at him, and said after a while, "I heard that the child's painting style is very similar to his."

Bai Changqing didn't even answer this time, he frowned with a look of hesitation.

Bai Junru: "Are you just like this, treating a talented child as that person, and imprisoning him by your side?"

Bai Changqing's face suddenly turned pale, he moved his lips, but he still hesitated to speak.

Bai Junru sighed for a long time: "Changqing...Xia Xiaochuan, has passed away."

Bai Changqing suddenly raised his head and said: "He didn't..." But he found his tone was so stiff.

Bai Junru comforted: "In the past, we were the ones who let you down, so now everything is up to you... But Changqing, are you determined to be confused again at this age?"

Bai Changqing remained silent, his bony fingers turned blue from clenching tightly, and he seemed to have exerted a lot of strength before he could say a complete sentence: "Give me some time."

Bai Junru looked at him lovingly: "I'm not here to urge you, in fact, if you insist, I can even fulfill you, let you take him away, and even make you completely 'disappear' in this world..."

Bai Changqing shook his head slowly: "The past is already in the past."

He also hopes to be self-willed, but he has already passed the age of impulsive and conceited...

Bai Junru asked with a guilty expression: "How is the child doing now?"

"Falling asleep." Changqing who said these words suddenly showed a trace of tenderness in his eyes, even Bai Junru was a little dumbfounded.

He thought of that summer more than [-] years ago, Changqing took the young painter back to China, he was so happy and unrestrained, immersed in the world of love, every day was sunny...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't think of any suitable words, until Bai Changqing looked at him, and then asked, "Aren't you going to see Bai Mu? "

Bai Changqing trembled all over and shook his head.

Bai Junru was a little embarrassed: "After all, he is..."

"No," Bai Changqing interrupted him, resolutely said, "If possible, I don't want to see him in my whole life."

"..." Bai Junru seemed very sad, he lowered his head and coughed twice, showing an old look.

"Thank you for taking care of him these past few years..." Bai Changqing's eyes fell elsewhere, "I also hope that we can bring this secret into the soil."

Bai Junru: "..."

Bai Changqing stood up: "Ling'er said earlier that you are not in good health... If there is nothing else, you should go back first."

Bai Junru stared blankly at Bai Changqing turning around and walking upstairs step by step. The thin but resolute figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs... He coughed again, clutching his chest in discomfort.

Suddenly, the phone rang, "Hello..." He answered the phone with a hoarse voice.

"Dad," an impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu have returned to China, and the secretary said that they found their entry information today, do you know?"

Bai Junru: "..."

Bai Qing and Bai Mu stood at the airport, feeling the hot May in the other hemisphere of the world - the temperature in the capital and Xili is really very different!

After leaving the airport, there is also a private car to pick them up, but this time, it is not the Bai family who pick them up.

Twelve hours ago, they received a call from Kevin and were asked if they were interested in learning more about their own background. Due to the family's concealment of Bai Changqing's identity, the two siblings, who were so depressed, immediately took the bait.

The mobile phone was turned off as required, and I lost contact with almost everyone, and then bought a plane ticket to return home as quickly as possible.

The car was driving on the wide main road of the city, and passed a commercial square, which was full of people. Because of the good weather, there were many small families with their children going out.

Bai Qing looked out the window, thoughtful: "Sometimes I also feel that my birth is quite unfortunate."

Bo Ling: "Huh?"

Bai Qing: "Everything will be interfered with, what you want to do, who you like... In the end, you don't even know who you are."

Bo Ling held the sketchbook and doodled and drew, and didn't say a word. He was not as sad as the girl.

Bai Qing said again: "Now I have a premonition that someone will tell me in front of my face that I am not a child of the Bai family." She was a little scared and squeezed Bai Mu's hand tightly.

"Even if you tell me that I picked it up, I will accept it," Bai Mu said softly, "I hate being kept secret."

Bai Qing: "Tell me, how would Aze feel when he knew his mother died like that? His father never loved his mother."

Bai Mu tilted his head and said, "I don't feel anything."

Bai Qing: "You are so cold-blooded."

Bai Mu: "Because something like this may happen to us."

After hearing this sentence, Bai Qing suddenly fell silent.

They stopped talking and waited anxiously for the truth to come.
