Abyss of Rebirth

An Rui was forcibly pulled out of sleep by An Zhe's voice. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while, then blinked after a while, and finally woke up slowly.

"Rui Rui, are you better now?" An Zhe sat on the edge of An Rui's bed, reached out and gently touched his eyelids, the slightly dark circles under his eyes were enough to show that the original owner had not had a very high quality of sleep these days, "Or are you having nightmares again?"

Actually, it's not really a nightmare.An Rui's eyelashes trembled slightly. All this time, it was just some ordinary and trivial scenes in his previous life.For example, the century-old tree outside the middle school that is shrouded in the midday sun, or the nightclub where Xie Cheng often hung out during the second year of middle school, or the back of a certain white cotton dress with long fluttering hair.

Things like this are simple, subtle, broken, and can't even outline a coherent scene.

But this time it seems something is different.

He dreamed about the day before his car accident.The sky was gray and haze, accompanied by thick fog, the whole person stood outside, and the visibility could not even reach five meters.He sat in his car, quietly watching the city that was almost swallowed by smog through the car window.

Then, he saw a vague figure walking towards him slowly.

It seems that in his dream, everything was deliberately slowed down, whether it was a red light that was in a mess and could not see the numbers clearly but refused to turn green, it was the unknown noise flowing in the car. Light music, or the person who couldn't see his facial features, who was approaching his car step by step, all of these, the forcibly slowed down rhythm made him unbearably anxious.

The indicator light in front of him was still red, and the music in the car didn't stop. The man got closer and closer to him—An Rui could even vaguely see the outline of the tall man.

Hurry up -- hurry up --

An Rui stared at the red light above his head with his eyes open, and he even held his breath slightly - the long time of holding his breath caused an indescribable slight pain in his entire chest, but An Rui didn't care.

The man slowly extended his hand in his direction.

It was a very manly hand, with slender knuckles and perfect shape, reaching out to him with a certain eagerness.

——In the nick of time, the music in the car stopped abruptly, and the red light finally changed color. An Rui gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas pedal with tense nerves——

Then, he woke up.

An Rui sat up a little weakly, leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes forcefully. After a while, he felt his whole body recover, then lifted the quilt, bent his lips and explained in a low voice while putting on his clothes: " It was probably the sequelae of that ghost movie that I watched with Xie Cheng a few days ago... If I had known the consequences would be so serious, I would not have watched it at the time." I glanced sideways at An Zhe and saw the worried look on his face Without losing half a point, he smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

An Zhe nodded after being silent for a while, and said, "Then I'll go downstairs and make you a glass of honey water?"

An Rui put on his clothes, said "um", brushed his teeth, and went into the bathroom to wash his face.

Looking up at the face in the mirror, on the small palm-sized face, even though the facial features are immature, they are also exquisite and perfect, but the faint bluish black under the eyelids is a bit abrupt, contrasted by the fair skin. , it seemed even more shocking.

The irritability caused by lack of sleep resurfaced in his heart, An Rui frowned slightly, and took a clean towel and wiped his face carelessly.

When they went downstairs, An Haicheng had already washed up and stayed downstairs, but Mrs. Wang was not there, she probably went out to buy groceries.Seeing that An Rui had come down, An Zhe hurried over with a water glass.

"The water has been mixed, it's not hot." An Zhe smiled and said to An Rui.

An Rui nodded, just took a sip of honey water from the water glass, when An Haicheng raised his head and waved to him, and called out: "Ruirui."

"Dad." Hearing An Haicheng call him, An Rui turned around with a water glass and walked towards An Haicheng.

"Dad has asked for leave from the school, so you don't have to go to class today." An Haicheng pulled An Rui to his side, "After dinner, let's go to Shuanglong Cemetery to sweep your mother's grave, okay?" good?"

An Rui stared at the cup in his hand with his eyes half-downcast, and was silent for a few seconds. He slightly raised his head and glanced at An Haicheng, and asked softly, "'Let's go together'? Dad, who are we going to be with?"

An Haicheng smiled confusedly: "Who are you with? Of course our family is going together. Your aunt Zhou has already woken up and is probably still putting on makeup in the room. She moves slowly, but she should come down after a while gone."

Hearing this, An Rui also smiled slightly, put the cup on the coffee table, then looked sideways at An Zhe who was standing aside and said: "Xiao Zhe, I feel a little cold, you can go upstairs and help me Can you take that beige scarf down for me? It’s the one we went out to buy last time.”

An Zhe looked up at An Rui's calm face, then glanced at An Haicheng's smiling expression, and naturally understood that it was An Rui who wanted to push him away.She pursed her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything after all, she just gently shook An Rui's left hand hanging by her side, said "um", then turned around and went upstairs.

When An Zhe's footsteps could no longer be heard, An Rui looked at An Haicheng and finally said lightly: "Dad, do you know what day it is today?"

When An Haicheng heard this, a trace of sadness crossed his face, he sighed, and said, "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it has been a year since your mother left."

Seeing An Haicheng's dejected look, An Rui suddenly laughed: "That's great, so Dad, do you still remember?"

An Haicheng gave An Rui a funny look: "Ruirui, look at what you said. How could I forget your mother's death day?"

An Rui nodded: "Yes, after all, Dad loves her so deeply." Then he smiled even more happily, "So, Dad is also because he is afraid that Mom will be down there and worry about our poor life, so he specially prepared this time. Take the new wife who looks five points like mother and the adopted son to go to the grave with us, so that she can know that even without her in the An family, father still has a wife and son, and lives a happy and worry-free life, right?"

Hearing An Ruiyou's childish voice, An Haicheng's smile faded away, and he looked at An Rui with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes: "Ruirui!"

An Rui knew that he should choose a more appropriate way to tell An Haicheng that he refused to let Zhou Yuting and An Zhe visit his mother's grave.At present, all his plans have not been completed yet, if he breaks face with An Haicheng now, it will do him no good but harm.

But maybe it was because of the overcast and suffocating weather for several days in a row, or maybe it was because of the dream that made him feel irritable in the morning, at this moment, facing An Haicheng's pretendingly affectionate face, he just felt sick It's so terrible that she doesn't want to deal with him for a second.

"Ruirui, are you... blaming Dad?" An Haicheng licked his lips and remained silent for a few seconds, then softened his attitude and tried to communicate with Anrui in a good voice, "Don't you also like your Aunt Zhou?" With Xiao Zhe? Dad has seen this for more than half a year, don't you get along very well together?"

An Rui looked at An Haicheng quietly for a long time, until An Haicheng looked away uncomfortably from An Rui, then he opened his mouth softly: "But, Dad, you should know that I am It's different from my mother. As a son, I can accept that you married a new wife and I have a close brother. But my mother can't," he stared at An Haicheng's face tightly, and said in a low voice, "When my mother dies, all I remember is that you have only one wife, Dad, and there is only one young master named An in the An family.

"Father, I don't want my mother to find out..." At this point, my voice became choked up, and my dark brown eyes instantly became moist. "I don't want my mother to know that you have fallen in love with someone else."

"Ruirui, how could it be? How could it be? Don't cry... Of course, Dad will always love mom and you the most," An Haicheng even felt a little angry in his heart, but when he saw An Rui's tears When a face was soaked, the fire in his heart was immediately extinguished. He looked at An Rui with a little helplessness, and stretched out his hand to draw him closer, but he didn't dare to wipe his face. , "Since you don't want them to go, then dad will take you there alone, okay? Dad promised you that we will only go to visit mom's grave with you in the future, okay?"

An Rui lowered his head and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand: "Dad...do you really still love Mom?"

"Of course! When did Dad lie to Rarity, right?" Seeing that An Rui's side seemed to have finally calmed down, An Haicheng breathed a sigh of relief, but hurriedly responded.

"Then... what about Aunt Zhou?" An Rui raised his head, twitching slightly, but his eyes were very stubborn. He asked, "Does Dad love Aunt Zhou or Mom?"

An Haicheng looked at An Rui's pitiful face with teardrops still hanging on his eyelashes, and his heart softened a little. He reached out and stroked An Rui's hair, and naturally followed his meaning: "What's wrong with this, of course It's your mother...Besides, if it wasn't because Xiao Ting looked so much like your mother, why would Dad marry her?"

"Really?"

"Well, really!"

An Rui glanced at the slender figure passing by on the stairs from the corner of his eye, raised his face, and bent his eyes into a cute crescent shape: "I knew that no matter what, Dad would never betray Mom. "
