soul seeker

In the teahouse, the two of them found a secluded corner and sat down.

Xue Ya picked up the porcelain pot and poured some hot water into Wu Ci's tureen.

"My mother passed away, ten days ago. As for why the letter was suddenly cut off, it was because..." He put the porcelain pot back in the middle of the table, "When I wrote to you for the last time, Gui Er found out."

Gui'er... who's here?Oh, his wife... Wu Ci lowered his eyes and listened to him quietly.

"Of course there was a commotion, not only tore up the letter, but also looking for death, so I didn't write to you again."

"Oh, and then?" Wu Ci raised his eyes and looked at him apprehensively, "You haven't finished yet, have you?"

"She came with me, bringing Mao'er."

"So?" Wu Ci picked up the gaiwan, and used the lid to skim off the tea leaves on the water. "Are you trying to tell me that it's over?"

"Have I mentioned any words?" Xue Ya said angrily, frowning.

"Some things don't need to be said, just written on your face. Since you are in trouble, then I will say it." Wu Ci put the tureen down, "Anyway, I knew from the beginning that it would definitely end, just like summer must pass and autumn must pass. It will come... It's not bad to end now," Wu Ci turned his head and looked at the snowy catkins outside the window, "It won't be too sad. The longer the time drags on, the harder it will be to speak."

After speaking, Wu Ci got up and walked out.

"Can't you just listen to what I have to say?! It's like this every time, whenever something happens, you make a preconceived decision!" Xue Ya, who was sitting, grabbed his arm and dragged him back.

"Don't do this," Wu Ci looked down at him expressionlessly, "Others are watching. Don't say anything more, it will only make it harder for me to leave."

As he spoke, he pushed Xue Ya's hand down.

When Wu Ci stepped out of the door, Xue Ya wanted to call him to stop, but he opened his mouth halfway, but stopped again.Because he didn't think about how to deal with this matter at all.

As a good person, he doesn't want to hurt anyone, but the result is often that he wants to stay and can't keep it.

Wu Ci, who wanted to fall back to sleep when he got home, saw Xu Ma trotting towards him anxiously, "Master, why did you come back! Madam went to the hospital and is in very bad condition!"

"Which hospital? Is it the one I went to at the beginning?"

Knowing the location, Wu Ci immediately got in a rickshaw and went to the hospital.

In the middle of the night, in the hospital.

Wu Ci sat by the bed, guarding Shaozhen who was asleep.

Thinking about the conversation with Xue Ya in the evening, he regretted it a bit.But it's no use regretting either.

Even an ordinary teacher-student relationship would be drowned in saliva, not to mention destroying other people's families and their special situation.

"Xiaoci..." Shaozhen slowly opened his eyes, saw Wu Ci in front of him, raised his hand that was holding the bottle, and beckoned him to come over.

"Are you awake? How is it? Is there any discomfort? Do you want to call the doctor?" Wu Ci squatted beside the bed and held his hand.

"No, it's much better now. I have something to tell you. After I was discharged from the hospital last year, your father came to see me..."

Shaozhen told Wu Ci about negotiating conditions with Wu Han at that time.

"Since you have made all the arrangements, is there anything else I can help you with?" Wu Ci asked softly.

"I might not be able to get out this time when I come in..." Shaozhen opened his eyes weakly and looked at the yellow ceiling of the hospital, "So you must join the company as soon as possible and take advantage of this time to build your own network. It will not be too difficult to accept the shares after a year. You must not..." Shaozhen turned his head and looked at Wu Ci solemnly, "Let Yuehan succeed in swallowing the company's dream, understand?"

Since you are so hostile to each other, why did you accept this marriage in the first place? "Why don't you discuss such an important matter with your uncle?"

Wu Ci, who knew the answer, asked deliberately.

"Don't be stupid. He is an enemy just like Yuehan. It's just that he can be a companion temporarily because it's not in the right place. Don't tell him about this. If he finds out, he might stand on Yuehan's side. He, Just follow the rights and interests. Not only him, you also have to be on guard against Yuge and Wu Zan. Also, Yun Miao and her child, even though your father doesn't like it now, what if your father changes his mind in the future?"

"Okay, I get it, I'll do my best." Wu Ci perfunctorily agreed, "Go on to sleep, it's still early in the morning, if you have anything to say, I'll be right next to you."

In the evening, it was raining.This rain seems to be bigger than the concept of "spring rain".

Wu Ci was holding an umbrella and standing across the road from Xue Ya's residence, looking at the opposite side. There were a few children playing in the rain without umbrellas at the entrance of the alley.

One of them looks like a shrunken version of Xue Ya.Wu Ci looked at him with a smile on his face, thinking that he really resembled him very much, he must have been like this when he was a child, right?

"Maoer, what are you doing! Didn't I tell you to come back for dinner? It's still raining outside!" A woman in a cheongsam and holding an umbrella walked towards the child while scolding, pulled the child under the umbrella, and The veil wiped the rain from his face.

Wu Ci turned around and walked towards the end of the street.

Why am I here?Sleepwalking without giving up?

"Master Wu? What a coincidence." When Wu Ci passed by a shop, he heard someone calling him, and the voice was familiar.

He turned his head and saw Kuweichun hiding from the rain under the eaves.

"Oh, greedy boss. Are you out shopping?" Wu Ci walked over to put away the umbrella and stood beside him.

"Well," Lu Weichun looked back at the store, "I wanted to come over to see if there were any new arrivals, but I didn't expect it to rain and I didn't bring an umbrella. What about you?"

"Me too, wandering around. Is there any show for you today? I have too many worries recently, and I want to go to Chaohua Garden to listen to the show and calm down."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you," Greedy Spring smiled sheepishly, "I won't sing anymore, I finished the last show the day before yesterday."

"Ah?" Wu Ci was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Do you want to change jobs?"

"Yeah." Greedy Spring looked at Yu, "I'm tired of singing. Want to see how you can do other things? Oh, stop, then I'll take my leave."

What a surprise.But he is really decisive, if other actors become actors at his age, they will never change careers at the right age.Are you decisive?

Wu Ci smiled wryly.

I was quite decisive this time.

"It's not good to be in a daze while walking." Xue Ya, who was standing at the gate of Wu Ci, was waiting for Wu Ci, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Wu Ci stopped, thinking that he had heard wrongly, and slowly raised the umbrella back, the handle was almost on his shoulder, and finally saw Xue Ya's full face clearly.

After being dazed for a while, he entered the gate, and when he passed by Xue Ya, he said softly, "Come in."

My heart that was still determined softened when I saw him.

In the room, one of the two people was sitting and the other was standing, both of them bowed their heads in silence, and the rain outside the window was heavy again.

They stayed like this until Wu Han came back, and the servant came to inform him to eat.

Seeing Xue Ya, Wu Han greeted him and asked, "Why is Mr. Xue here? Isn't the lecture already over?"

"Oh, some things are left here, I'll come and get them, sorry for bothering you."

"Since you're here, shall we have dinner together?"

"No, there's something else to do when we go back."

"That's it, Wu Ci, you give it away." Wu Han looked at Wu Ci who followed Xue Ya down the stairs.

It's still raining, and not lightly.

The two of them held an umbrella and walked on the stone road.

"Did you come today just to be in a daze in my room?"

"No."

"Then why didn't you say a word?"

"do not know what to say."

"Do you know that your greatest weakness is similar to your greatest strength?" Wu Ci stopped and looked at Xue Ya, who was a head taller than him, "The strength is that you are too gentle, and the weakness is that you are indecisive."

After speaking, he looked and looked at the stone road, and walked forward.

Xue Ya also recovered his silence.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Wu Ci gave him his own umbrella, and took the umbrella he had brought with him but didn't open it.

"Don't come again in the future. You will only make it harder for me."

After speaking, he opened the umbrella and walked back.

night.Wu Ci lay on the bed, trying not to let himself think about Xue Ya, but it was often like this, the more he wanted to forget the things he didn't think about, they were actually the things he was thinking about.

He couldn't sleep all night.

The next day was still cloudy, so gloomy that people couldn't tell when it was dawn.

Perhaps this weather was also a sign. Just after seven o'clock, the phone rang in the living room downstairs.

After Xu's mother answered the phone, she ran upstairs in a panic, rushed into Wu Ci's room, and said in a crying voice: "Master... madam, madam, she's gone. What should I do, master just left the company. "

Wu Ci sat up excitedly, calmed down his emotions, rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a while, then said to Xu Ma: "I'll go to the hospital first, and you immediately ask someone to go to the company to inform the master and the second master."

After speaking, he got out of bed and walked out while putting on his coat.

Yun Miao who heard Xu Ma's voice opened the door and asked Wu Ci who was passing by, "What's wrong?"

"My mother passed away."

Wu Ci, who was rushing to the hospital, had no time to stop and explain to her.

Yun Miao gasped in shock.

the next night.

Wu Ci knelt in front of the mourning hall in filial piety clothes, filling the brazier with paper money. It was late at night, and the others couldn't stand it any longer. Some fell asleep, some dozed off.

The surroundings became quiet all of a sudden, and Wu Ci finally didn't have to hold back his tears.

He just shed tears quietly, half for Shao Zhen and half for Xue Ya.

No matter how uncomfortable Wu Ci is now, there is no place to escape and no one to hug and cry.

"What? Did you forget to read?!"

At noon the day after Shaozhen's funeral, in the hall of Wu's house.

Shaolu stood up and stared unacceptably at the lawyer who read out the will.

"No," the lawyer looked at the will, "Ms. Wu didn't leave much, how could I read it wrong. The main thing is that the property is directly under the name of Mr. Wu Ci, and the shares are transferred after four years."

"I mean, isn't there another guardian who'll run things for him for a while?"

"No." The lawyer shook his head.

"Okay, Shaolu. You don't want to be ashamed, in front of outsiders. That's fine," Wu Han stood up, "I'm sorry, Lawyer Tang."

"It's nothing, work. Since I don't have any other questions, I will leave."

"Well, Qing'er sees off the guests."

Sitting on the chair, Shaolu was so angry that he would have crushed the Wenwan walnuts in his hand, and the Yuge next to him was also embracing his hands, panting heavily, if he hadn't been at Wu Han's house, he would have scolded him a long time ago.
