heavy rock

On the rooftop, a man in a light-colored shirt was holding on to the half-person-high stone railing with both hands, looking indifferently at the bustling city below, as if he was looking for something that used to exist, but he couldn't find it after all. Shallow layer of disappointment.He was so focused that he didn't notice what nonsense the people behind him were talking about.Ordinary people or policemen mean nothing to him at this moment.

This is what Chong Yan saw when he walked up to the roof. The breath he held in his chest suddenly relaxed, and his whole body felt weak like a loss of strength.This person is Lin Pei. Even though the time of meeting was more than ten years earlier, Chong Yan still recognized this calm and gentle old friend deep in his memory at a glance. Mellow and elegant, with an extra layer of gray and decadent shell.

"Lin Pei?" Chong Yan took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound more natural.

The man standing on the edge of the roof didn't move.

The young man standing aside quietly winked at him.Chong Yan's eyes stopped on his face, and he secretly guessed that this man should be Hai Qingtian - besides Lin Pei, he was the only one in casual clothes on the rooftop.Different from the mysterious image he imagined, Hai Qingtian looked like a college student who had just graduated from school, with short hair and handsome sunshine.Hai Qingtian probably didn't expect Chong Yan to be so young, so he started to give Chong Yan winks after a moment of daze.He didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of irritating the person who wanted to die.

Chong Yan signaled that he was fine, turned his head and walked towards Lin Pei step by step.The policeman standing aside wanted to reach out to grab him, but he quickly dodged it.He mouthed to the young policeman: Let me try, I am his friend.

The little policeman hesitated.

Chong Yan breathed slowly, and his footsteps were extremely light, as if he was afraid of waking up the blurred old dream of the person in front of him.When the distance between him and Lin Pei shortened to six or seven meters, Lin Pei finally turned his head and glanced at him.

Chong Yan let out a sigh of relief, "Lin Pei, do you still remember me?"

Lin Pei didn't want to talk to him, but what he said was so strange that he couldn't help but take another look at this handsome young man who appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

"Do you still remember me?" Chong Yan smiled at him, and a part of his chest that he couldn't describe kept trembling, which made his breath start to tremble unconsciously, "You and I I said that you were born in autumn, and when you were born, the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms in your yard were very fragrant."

Lin Pei looked at him with focused eyes, and at the same time showed a puzzled look.

"You also said that the botanist you admire the most in your life is the Swedish Linnaeus, because he established the double name system..." Well, who knows what that is.

"Also," Chong Yan tried his best to recall what Lin Pei had said in his previous life, "Tell me that orchids have a gentleman's demeanor, they will grow in any place, and they will be happy with the situation..."

Lin Pei's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and a fragile and helpless look slowly emerged.

"It is also said that Lanxiang is known as the 'fragrance of the king'. The beauty is that it seems to be there, it seems to be near and far away..." Chong Yan couldn't remember so many adjectives, and paused a little embarrassedly, "It's still There is...Confucius's evaluation of orchids: Zhilan grows in a deep valley, not because there are no people but not fragrant..."

There was a faint sparkle in Lin Pei's eyes, as if in response to a signal, he murmured the second half of his sentence, "...a gentleman cultivates morality and morality, and does not change his morals for the sake of poverty..."

Chong Yan was speechless, and an inexplicable heat swelled in his chest, almost forcing his tears.

"Lin Pei," his voice was hoarse, "don't die."

Being close, Lin Pei could clearly hear the choking in his throat.Lin Pei turned his face away, his eyes were slightly red.He can be sure that he has never seen this person before. His parents died a few years ago, and there are few relatives in the family. They are all in the hometown and don't move around much.No one in the school or in the work unit has a child who is exactly this age.As for the neighbors... of those who live in the city, how many people have close contacts with their neighbors?

This is a stranger, a stranger even though he knows a lot about himself.This is the strangest part. When Lin Pei heard what he said, he didn't feel horrified, but only felt warm.It was the warmth of being understood and cared for that he hadn't felt for a long time.

Lin Pei turned his head and looked at the boy very carefully, "Who said I was going to die?"

Chong Yan was dumbfounded by this question, and stared at him with a drop of water hanging on his eyelashes.

Lin Pei sighed softly, "Who are you? How do you know me?"

Chong Yan's heart went up and down, he didn't know what he meant, "I want to say that we knew each other in our previous life, do you believe it?"

"In my previous life?" Lin Pei raised his mouth slightly, but his eyes showed mockery, "What was my previous life like?"

"Very good," Chong Yan also slowly calmed down, "You were the famous 'Orchid King' in your previous life, and many people lined up holding silver and waiting to buy your flower seedlings."

Lin Pei smiled wryly, "With 'Sheng Ansu', who knows Lin Pei?"

Chong Yan felt that his guess should be very close to the truth, but a mere "Sheng Ansu" was nothing compared to the many fine products cultivated by Lin Pei himself in the previous life.Wouldn't it be a pity to give up the forest behind for such a small seedling?

"What is a mere 'Sheng Ansu'?" Chong Yan disdainfully said, "You are famous because of a pot of black ink orchids. What's your name... Fengqiao Yebo or Moonset Wutiao, I forgot. But your ink orchids The variety is particularly stable, and its descendants also bloom in dark purple, which is close to black, which is very beautiful." Chong Yan had a pot in his hand at that time, and he still remembers the clear and long-lasting fragrance.

Lin Pei's expression moved slightly.He was indeed studying Mo Lan. That's something that even Zhao Sheng'an, who had been facing each other day and night, didn't know about it. This young man actually said it casually.And the focus of his research is the stability of the variety. Some varieties of fine varieties will degenerate after one generation, and even the color and appearance of the two blooms will change. "Sheng Ansu" is actually not a fully mature work. The difference between its second generation and the parent plant is not obvious, but it has already shown signs.But before he observed and studied the traits of the third generation, Zhao Sheng'an couldn't wait to push it to the public, using his own name.

"Who the hell are you?" Lin Pei felt that this young man gave him a very strange feeling. The things he said obviously didn't happen, but Lin Pei felt that they were all true.

Chong Yan smiled at him, "I'm your friend. When we met, I was 32 and you were [-]. We have the same birthday."

Lin Pei's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran up his spine, quickly passing over the cerebral cortex, leaving a series of crackling sparks in his mind.He opened his mouth, and his voice became hoarse, "You... How old are you this year?"

"Seventeen." Chong Yan walked over and lay down on the stone fence, narrowing his eyes slightly, "The age in the household registration book is eighteen."

A drop of cold sweat ran down Lin Pei's forehead, and slowly slid down his cheeks to his chin, where he was shaky.

"What I said is true." Chong Yan looked back at him, "I didn't know you when I was my age in my previous life. I don't know if you also met such a bastard as Zhao Shengan, but since you If you can pass this hurdle, there is no reason why you will not be able to pass it in this life."

Lin Pei looked at him dryly, "These words...have you ever told anyone else?"

Chong Yan shook his head, "I don't have any other friends except you." In fact, he and Lin Pei were just friends of gentlemen in the last life, and they occasionally got together to drink tea or something.Lin Pei has a cold temper and doesn't get close to anyone.But Chongyan appreciates Lin Pei's character, and still regards him as his friend in his heart.

A touch of emotion suddenly appeared in Lin Pei's heart, "You...what's your name?"

"Chongyan." Chongyan smiled at him, "Chongyan with overlapping peaks."

Lin Pei asked him again, "How did you find me?"

Chong Yan raised his chin at Hai Qingtian behind him, "Did you see that man? He's a very good private detective. I'll pay him to find you."

Lin Pei lost his mind for a while, lowered his head and laughed nervously, "Damn, it's really...crazy!"

He actually felt that everything Chong Yan said was true!What past and present lives, looking for friends from the previous life... He actually thinks these lies are true!

Chong Yan didn't know if he was too stimulated and his brain couldn't turn his head, so he picked up the words he might be interested in and said: "Don't be sad about the matter of 'Sheng Ansu', when I met you , everyone is chasing 'Fengqiao Yebo', who knows 'Sheng Ansu'. My pot of 'Fengqiao Yebo' was just a few leaves when I bought it, and it cost more than 60. Damn Yes, you are really dark enough."

For some reason, Lin Pei wanted to laugh, "Then I won't charge you this time, and I'll give you a pot for nothing."

"That's a must!" Chong Yan glared at him with a righteous expression on his face, "I'm planning to go to the countryside to be a farmer in order to let you grow flowers well. Do you know that the land I just contracted has There are streams, ravines, and a fertile small plain, which are the most suitable for growing flowers and grass. I will take you to see it tomorrow, and let you decide how to build flower gardens, factories, and research institutes. When we start our business, Just a mere Zhao Sheng'an, why don't you kill him as much as you want?!"

Lin Pei had mixed feelings in his heart, "Business... I have no capital."

"You are the capital," Chong Yan looked at him, his face couldn't help laughing, "The company has been registered, and the two of us share half of the shares. I will be in charge of management, and you can concentrate on growing flowers. Okay?"

Lin Pei looked at him, a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.

"That's the deal!" Chong Yan was happy, "Are you still jumping off the building? If you don't jump, let's go to dinner. And sign the contract by the way."

Lin Pei, "..."

Something doesn't seem right?

"Your 'Fengqiao Night Park' is still waiting for you, and there are many top-quality orchids whose names I forgot, all waiting for you to cultivate them," Chong Yan walked over and put his arms on his shoulders, She persuaded him earnestly, "Live well. Let those bastards see who can have the last laugh."

"I didn't want to jump off the building." Lin Pei sighed, "I just don't understand how my life has become like this..." He pointed to a building with a silver shell in the distance, "It turned out to be a small alley there. That's where the entanglement between me and Zhao Sheng'an started..."

Chong Yanxin said that he still can't think about it, otherwise he just remembers the past, where can't he?Why did you run to the top of the building?

Lin Pei was also a little bit broken, "You find a private detective to investigate me, you should know that I have been living with Zhao Shengan." He paid attention to Zhong Yan's expression, and saw that he was only listening to him seriously, so he was relieved, " He robbed me of my research results, and without telling me, he found someone outside, and the new house has been furnished..."

Sure enough, the fact that Zhao Sheng'an was going to get married was exposed.Chong Yan snorted coldly, "That kind of bastard, you have already been tricked into this by him, and if you take another life for him, wouldn't that be a loss?"

Lin Pei remained silent.

Chong Yan looked at him worriedly, "You won't come and jump off the building again, will you?"

Lin Pei shook his head, "No." In fact, wanting to die was just a passing thought, not all because of being cheated, but because he felt that his life was too much of a failure.

"Then it's settled," Chong Yan finally found the person, for fear that he would go back on his word, "I will sign the contract when I go downstairs, and I will go to the countryside to grow flowers with me in the future."

Lin Pei looked at him with a smile. He was obviously a teenager, but his tone of voice was old-fashioned.Or maybe he really lived past the age of 40 or [-].

"Did Zhao Sheng'an change jobs?" Chong Yan asked him, "Moved?"

Lin Pei nodded, his expression indifferent.

"Then you can move to live with me today." Chong Yan made a decision, "You don't have to go back, I'll find a reliable moving company to move all your things here for you."

Lin Pei really didn't want to live there anymore, "I still have to go back once, I have to pack a lot of things myself."

Chong Yan looked at him reluctantly, "Tomorrow then, go to my place today to have a good rest. Tomorrow I will accompany you to clean up." In case he let him go, he couldn't think about it, or he was discouraged What should I do if I ran to another place quietly?

Lin Pei seemed to see his little thoughts, nodded, "Okay."

He looked at Chongyan, as if he wanted to say something, but held back.

Chongyan is such a sensitive person, he immediately noticed this little abnormality, "What is it?"

Lin Pei looked at him seriously, "Since you are old friends with me, what do you say I like to eat?"

Chong Yan tried his best to recall, but after a while his expression was gloomy, "I don't remember. I don't think there is anything I particularly like to eat." The two of them often drank tea together at that time, and there were fewer opportunities to eat. Chong Yan really didn't pay attention to his love. What to eat and what not to like.

Lin Pei ignored him, turned around and walked out, slightly bowed to the two police comrades who were standing on the rooftop and watching them nervously, "Sorry to trouble you."

The policeman breathed a sigh of relief, and the old man couldn't help but persuade: "Young man, think about driving a bit more. Everyone will encounter difficulties in life. Just get over it."

Lin Pei was taught humbly, "You are right."

Chong Yan pulled his clothes from behind, "What do you like to eat?"

Lin Pei glanced at him, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, "I don't pick my mouth when I eat, I eat anything."

Chongyan, "..."

Lin Pei's mood suddenly improved.He never thought that he would encounter such a wonderful thing.It was the same as before, he always thought that this was something that only happened in stories, but now it actually happened to him.They had met for less than 10 minutes, but he felt that they had really known each other for many, many years.

Just a few hours ago, he felt that the world in front of him was gloomy, but looking at it now, he felt that everything was clean and refreshing as if washed by clear water.

not dead.Lin Pei thought to himself, the black orchid has not been successfully bred, and the stability of the species has not been resolved, so why die?And this new friend he met... Uh, old friend, he has already contracted the land, and he is waiting to plant flowers with him. There are so many things that he has not had time to do. If he doesn't hurry up and live well, how can he be worthy? He told himself that secret?

"I'll keep it a secret." Lin Pei assured him solemnly even though he found it unbelievable.

Chong Yan snorted lightly, "Will others believe you if you tell me?"

Lin Pei looked at him seriously, "I believe it."

Chong Yan looked at him, with a trace of uncontrollable joy slowly appearing on his face, "Of course you have to believe it, you must believe it! Otherwise, I'm sorry for taking so much effort to find you!"
