Avatar and White-eyed Wolf

On a quiet snowy night, in a field far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a small earthen house is lit with dim light, and white smoke slowly rises from the chimney and spreads to the sky and disappears into the night.

On such a night, the sound of barking was very clear.

Chu Shangluo opened the door and saw Ren Jiaoming standing at the door.

Ren Jiaoming had already changed into a clean and delicate coat, his right arm was wrapped in gauze, and the exposed skin was reddened by the cold wind.

Chu Shangluo frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"Wen Yan was arrested this afternoon, I'll come and see you."

Ren Jiaoming is reticent, all his emotions are hidden inside, and when he wants to express his emotions, he will only use actions instead of words.

Therefore, they came to find Chu Shangluo at night because they were worried that Chu Shangluo would be retaliated by the Wen family.

Chu Shangluo looked at Ren Jiaoming's eyes that were no longer so cold looking at him, but found that he understood what Ren Jiaoming was here for this trip.

"I don't need you to look, I'm safe here, you go back." Chu Shangluo closed the door and sat back by the stove. He looked at the swaying fire in the stove, and he understood Ren Jiaoming more and more to himself. Surprised by the thoughts under restraint.

In the past, he especially wanted to know what Ren Jiaoming was thinking, but he always couldn't see through Ren Jiaoming. Now that he could see through, he also missed it. What's the use?

Chu Shangluo took out a cigarette, lit it on the fire, then took out his cell phone and called Chu Chendong again.

After a few calls, the other party finally connected.

Chu Shangluo said: "What are you busy with? I called all afternoon and no one answered?"

Chu Chendong said: "I went to the temple with your mother and brother in the afternoon, and listened to Buddhism all afternoon, and I just came back now."

Chu Shangluo became a little annoyed when he thought that Wen Zhengyang pointed a gun at him in the afternoon, but his father was making atonement for something that he was not sure about. Here is a video, take a look and send it to your phone."

There was silence on the phone.

After a long time, Chu Chendong said: "Is this true?"

"The video is not synthetic, but it is not real. Think about it!"

Chu Chendong fell into silence again.

Chu Shangluo has always been impatient and has a quick temper. He can bear a silent Ren Jiaoming, but his father also has this problem.

He could only take a deep breath, and waited for Chu Chendong to speak. During the long silence, Chu Shangluo was very disturbed. He was afraid that his father would admit it. As a son, he didn't know what he should do.

After a long time, Chu Chendong said: "Shang Luo, I couldn't think of it, let me think about it again, it's getting late over there, go to sleep." His voice trembled, and Chu Shangluo wanted to ask clearly who he was Didn't think of anything, but retreated.

After the call ended, Chu Shangluo became more and more frightened as he thought about it. From the video Wen Zhengyang gave, it was obvious that his father hit Ruan Shu and then set him on fire. It's still enough for his dad to squat for decades.

He took a deep breath, and when he thought of his father being arrested, his mother crying all day long, his brother arguing to find his father, and all the Chu family who worshiped his father breaking down, he felt very tired.

Chu Shangluo sighed heavily, and wanted to go out to get some air. When he opened the door, he saw the man standing at the door and was stunned, "Why are you still here?"

"Why are your eyes so red?"

Ren Jiaoming stretched out his fingers to wipe the corners of Chu Shangluo's reddened eyes, and his cold fingertips touched the soft and warm skin, which made Chu Shangluo shudder all over.

He took a step back and opened Ren Jiaoming's hand, "Go back quickly!"

Chu Shangluo was in a very bad mood right now, when he turned to enter the room, the door was pushed open, Ren Jiaoming squeezed in, his arm was injured, and he couldn't bend his hands back after being outside for too long.

His long eyelashes were covered with crystal frost, and he trembled slightly from time to time, his voice was very low, as if he was sad: "It's too cold, let me stay for a while."

At this time, Ren Jiaoming is like a pitiful big dog. Chu Shangluo doesn't know why he describes Ren Jiaoming like this. After all, only the word "dog" is more suitable for Ren Jiaoming. He is not pitiful at all. What he wants Didn't you get it all?

Chu Shangluo didn't want to pay attention to him, so he sat back and smoked again. Ren Jiaoming walked to Chu Shangluo's side, and he glanced at the small bench covered in dirt and didn't sit down.

Chu Shangluo smoked half of the cigarette, but because there was a silent man standing beside him staring at him like a giant Buddha, he soon became annoyed, "Can you sit down and stop wandering around me?!?"

Ren Jiaoming hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down on the dirty little bench frowning.

Chu Shangluo exhaled smoke and pointed to the opposite side: "Sit on the opposite side."

Ren Jiaoming didn't move, looking at Chu Shangluo's tired face, he really wanted to hug him.Just now he heard Chu Shangluo and Chu Chendong's phone call outside the door, and he understood why Chu Shangluo was bothered. He didn't want Chu Shangluo to be like this, and hoped that Chu Shangluo could relax and be happy.

In the quiet room, the "crackling" sound of firewood burning was extremely clear.

Chu Shangluo looked at the fire, and Ren Jiaoming looked at Chu Shangluo.

As time passed, Chu Shangluo threw the smoke into the fire, stared at the rising smoke, and said, "It's getting late, you go, I don't want to see you now."

Ren Jiaoming grabbed Chu Shangluo's arm instantly, "The matter of our father..."

Chu Shangluo shook him off annoyed, "Yes, Ren Jiaoming doesn't think I owe you anything because of my father's affairs, but it's impossible for me to be with you either."

Ren Jiaoming stared at Chu Shangluo, his heart tensed, and asked softly, "Do you still hate me?"

"It's not a matter of hating or not between us. Even if we were ordinary friends before, do you think those things happened to our parents, can we still be friends? You can, you don't need to care about your father, I can't, I can't do it. "Chu Shangluo stood up, "Go back, I'm going to sleep."

He turned around and walked towards the bed, and the next moment Ren Jiaoming grabbed his arm, Ren Jiaoming gently took Chu Shangluo's hand and said, "If I say, your father is not a murderer?"

Chu Shangluo stopped, turned to look at Ren Jiaoming, "What do you mean?"

Ren Jiaoming pulled Chu Shangluo to sit by the fire, "It's warm here."

Chu Shangluo's heart was beating so fast that he forgot to pump his hand while Ren Jiaoming was holding it, "Could you fucking hurry up?"

Ren Jiaoming had lost his temper with Chu Shangluo a long time ago, and said: "I have been in Wen's house all these years, and I have been inquiring about my aunt's whereabouts. Not long ago, I found her in a nursing home. She has a madness, good and bad, good and bad. She told me that your father didn't kill anyone."

No wonder I saw Ren Jiaoming so familiar with the roads in the nursing home last time, so I have been there more than once.

Chu Shangluo was worried about this matter, but Ren Jiaoming's words could only reassure him a little, but he couldn't relax completely, "You also said that she was insane, is there any evidence?"

Ren Jiaoming was silent for a while, and then said: "She came to my house at the time, and it happened to be recorded, but she hid the evidence in the nursing home. I searched for it several times but couldn't find it. I didn't tell you that I didn't want you to be happy in vain. In case it ends up If you can’t find it, your father still has to bear grievances, and you will be even more angry with the Wen family. I wanted to find evidence and tell you, so that Wen Zhengyang can be brought to justice, and you can be happy.”

Chu Shangluo withdrew his hand, it couldn't be said that it was anger or something, "You are really good for me. If Wen Zhengyang didn't show me that video, would you continue to hide it?"

Ren Jiaoming didn't speak.

Chu Shangluo continued to ask: "So you also knew from the beginning that the Wen family is not a good thing? Standing with the Wen family is just pretending?"

Ren Jiaoming nodded, and said slowly: "Yes, I always thought that your father and Wen Zhengyang joined forces to harm my family, and I also hate the Wen family." He paused, and looked at Chu Shangluo seriously, "How can you help Wen Zhengyang?" The family cheated on you?"

Such an explanation has been delayed until now.For a while, Chu Shangluo didn't know if he really wanted to praise Ren Jiaoming's good acting skills, being able to hold back No.1.

Suddenly knowing that his father was not the murderer, Chu Shangluo's mood was like a roller coaster, but he still felt unhappy.

Ren Jiaoming stared at Chu Shangluo for a moment, then thought about it and said: "I want to find evidence that your father didn't kill anyone."

On the day when there was a fire at home, he was hiding in the cupboard. His father ran in in a hurry, grabbed his shoulders and told him, "Remember, it was Wen Zhengyang and Chu Chendong who set us up together. Take your brother and jump out of the window quickly." go out."

Then the father ran out the door again, and the smoke was so thick that he and his brother inhaled so much that he lost consciousness, and for several years he had a stress response to smoke and fire.

For him at the age of 12, his father's words were like an imperial decree. For many years, he firmly believed that Chu Chendong and Wen Zhengyang had harmed his family, so he tried his best to stay away from Chu Shangluo and was indifferent to Chu Shangluo.Now that he wants to get close to Chu Shangluo, he is also afraid of Chu Chendong harming his family just like Chu Shangluo, then he will never be able to be with Chu Shangluo, so he puts his hatred for the Wen family first. Put it aside, trying to find evidence that Chu Chendong didn't harm his family.

Chu Shangluo couldn't perceive Ren Jiaoming's entanglement and heartbeat during this process. Ren Jiaoming lived with hatred for half his life, just to bring down the Chu family and the Wen family, but in the end he only took away his own antique shop from the Chu family. , but has already grasped the evidence to destroy the Wen family, and even Ren Jiaoming didn't discover the partiality in it.

The room was quiet, Ren Jiaoming recalled what his aunt said, that Chu Chendong was not the murderer who killed his father himself, but he also made a mistake, and it was not without responsibility.

At that time, my aunt's expression was inconsequential. He didn't know which sentence was true and which sentence was false. He could only make a judgment after finding the video, so he would rather let Chu Shangluo think that he had misidentified the enemy and made a fool of himself, and he would not take this matter Tell Chu Shangluo to make Chu Shangluo feel uneasy.

After a long time, Ren Jiaoming hesitated, and said, "We don't have the entanglements of the previous generation anymore, can you give me a chance?"

Chu Shangluo turned his head and looked at his predecessor Jiaoming's sincere eyes. He quickly looked away, took a deep breath, and wanted to smoke again.

He added some firewood to the fire that was about to go out, and the smoke drifted out and choked into Chu Shangluo's eyes. He rubbed his eyes, "Didn't you ask me before if I hated you? I don't need to hate you." , I can also forgive you, but I can't be with you, we will be strangers in the future."

Ren Jiaoming was taken aback, stretched out his arms to hug Chu Shangluo, and said eagerly: "You obviously still love me."

Chu Shangluo was hugged tightly by Ren Jiaoming, more sad than bored, just like what Ren Jiaoming said, maybe he really still loves him, that's why he feels so uncomfortable.

The smoke from the stove was so choking that his eyes were red. He grabbed Ren Jiaoming's arm, pulled it out, and said, "You know, I want to be strong. But what you may not know is that others are so strong that they lost this time." The first time I win, I feel comfortable. I am not Chushangluo. I can’t face my own failure. I will get tired even once, so even if you want to come back to me now, every time I see you, I will think of me. Failure, I don't feel any joy from this victory, so you go."
