Shadow for the Emperor

"How many days?" Miao Manman tilted her head, seeing Wen Sheng seriously peeling apples for her.

It seems that he has learned a lot in modern society, and he can even peel apples so well.

"Seven days."

"you're tired right."

"No."

"Xiao Zhe is a good man. I am not related to him. He is just in love with him."

"You helped him."

"Because I also love houses and crows." Miao Manman laughed, but quickly restrained her smile, covering her face with her hands, "If I had known, I would not have looked in the mirror."

If it hadn't been for the forceful request to look in the mirror yesterday, she would not have known that she had put on such an ugly face, and had been talking to her beloved with good self-awareness.

"nothing."

"In this way, it's even more impossible for you to change the answer."

Wen Sheng fell silent again, the peel became longer and longer, and finally fell on the table in a crooked manner. He threw it into the trash can and began to cut the apple into pieces with a knife.

Miao Manman didn't speak, just watched him move, concentrating, as if it was an interesting TV show.

After a long time, he said: "No." and handed her the apple.

She covered her face and laughed again, "I knew that the heavier the weight, the less you can speak against your will."

"Eat and rest well." He inserted the lid of the paring knife and prepared to leave.

"The paralysis is spreading."

"what?"

"Soon." Miao Manman scratched her chest with her hand, "I don't feel anything underneath."

"I'll go to the doctor."

"After tonight, tomorrow I won't be able to move my hands."

Wen Sheng tightened his grip on the knife.

"So tonight, I want to peel an apple for myself while I still have the chance."

He still turned his back to her, with blue veins in his hands, and said nothing.

"In other words, you would have the same wish."

Wen Sheng's hand gradually loosened, and the veins disappeared. If it wasn't for the curved fingers, the knife would have fallen to the ground immediately.

He turned around and put the knife by the bedside, the movement was very light, without making any sound.

At this time, Miao Manman had already turned over, her face was not facing him, but she still seemed to be aware of it, and murmured: "My paralysis is not the fault of this disaster."

"How long?"

"You will forget what I look like these seven days, won't you?"

"Ah."

news headlines.

Actress Miao Manman passed away.

The general idea is that she had an accident and couldn't bear to be disfigured and bedridden for the rest of her life, so after a week in bed, in the middle of the night, she cut the artery on her neck with a sharp knife, and many things in the ward were soaked in her of blood.

Before she died, she gave all the property under her name to Wen Sheng - her only relative in this world.

It was also at this time that the public "knew" that the actresses Miao Manman and Wen Sheng were siblings, which also explained the follow-up reports after the previous series of incidents, why Wen Sheng stayed by Miao Manman's side for a long time, taking care of her in every possible way .

Of course, Wen Sheng and Xiao Zhe didn't care about all these "inferences".

They went to her house to help her pack her belongings. They found a set of concubine clothes in her house, a whole wardrobe, and they used this set to put them in. Other than that, there was only a small box with simple craftsmanship at the bottom.

Open it, inside is a suet white jade bracelet, the surface is extremely smooth, it seems that apart from the superb workmanship itself, it is also due to the owner's touch from time to time.

"She brought these from ancient times, right?"

"Yeah." Wen Sheng picked it up, as if it had been years, "I gave it to her."

"Why don't you wear it?"

"I'm afraid it will break."

Her memories of the past are only a set of clothes and a bracelet, unlike before, one is broken, and there is another, so don't worry at all.

"how about you."

"what?"

"The blade, you left it on purpose, right?" Xiao Zhe couldn't help but say the big stone that weighed on his heart, "Why do you always destroy the things you cherish with your own hands? Including the dragon robe you wore in the first place, Including her?"

He still remembers that when the dragon robe was damaged, he immediately discarded it. He obviously cared so much before and suppressed so much anger.

Wen Sheng tried to calm himself down, taking deep breaths one after another, as if this would relieve something, but the air that was inhaled deeply and then exhaled seemed to become a sharp knife that cut hairs and cut hairs. In and out of the body, blood dripping from the stabbing.

"You can choose to leave."

"Why should I leave?" Xiao Zhe was shocked by his sudden rush to walk, and immediately felt relieved, "You're scared."

"I'm not afraid."

"No, you're scared."

Wen Sheng raised his head abruptly, the undisguised anger in his eyes made Xiao Zhe take a step back involuntarily.

But he still stated desperately: "You are still angry." He added, "Because I was right, you are afraid."

"..."

"You're scared." Xiao Zhe approached him, slamming every word, every word was no less than pouring strong wine on the burning fire.

With an indistinct sound from his throat, he pushed Xiao Zhe against the door, like a wild beast trapped in a trap, irritable and ferocious, and anyone who approached accidentally could be pulled into the trap by him at any time. Funeral.

"You are afraid, and then you dare not admit it."

"I've killed people," he said dangerously.

"I've acted as a dead person." Xiao Zhe shrugged, "Being personally one time might improve my acting skills, and I'll be better off in the underworld in the future."

"Xiao Zhe, it's not wise to provoke me now."

"I've never been wise, and you've always played the wise part."

Wen Sheng's clenched fist was already bleeding faintly, but he gradually lowered it, as if he had exhausted his last strength in struggling, "Don't use that look in your eyes."

"What look, sympathy? Because you are afraid that I will sympathize with you, sympathize with you as a person who helps the one you love die?" Xiao Zhe grabbed his hand and opened it bit by bit, "Yes, I It is indeed sympathetic. And the way I saw Manman outside the ward that night, the way she looked at the blade, also included sympathy."

Wen Sheng raised his head in disbelief.

"You are in a hurry to let me go because you are afraid that I will scold you, call you a cold-blooded animal, and push people to death with your own hands, don't you?" Xiao Zhe pulled him to the side of the medicine box, and took out hydrogen peroxide to help him treat the wound , "Then if I say this, can I make you feel that I am your kind? Can it make you stop suppressing yourself?"

Wen Sheng didn't speak, but Xiao Zhe saw that his eyes were red.

"I was looking for you at the time, but I didn't expect to see her holding the blade. At first I wanted to stop her, but then I thought of the sentence she just woke up, then you, and the origin of the blade. Then I was thinking, there is a tacit understanding between you that I can't compare to, so I have no position to destroy the consensus you have reached."

Xiao Zhe dried the wound and took out the red medicine.

"Did you think I didn't support her in taking her own life?" Because of myopia, he had to raise Wen Sheng's hand and bring it closer, "I really don't support it. On the one hand, I think life is precious, On the one hand, I can't bear it. From the two of you saying the same sentence 'It's better to die', I know that the possibility of this result is almost 80.00%... I'm afraid you will regret it, regret is the worst I have ever felt one of the emotions."

"It doesn't matter whether you regret it or not."

"Yes, to her, it doesn't matter whether you will regret it or not. The important thing is that she can get rid of the pain. But to me, it is very important that you do not regret it later. Because you are already taciturn enough, I don't want you One more burden in my heart." He began to bandage him with gauze.

"Looking at the interaction between the two of you in the hospital, I am actually quite jealous. Because there has never been a tacit understanding between you and me. Many times I don't understand you, and sometimes you don't understand me. Are you I think it's inexplicable that I was arguing with you at your door a while ago."

"Wen Sheng, for you, maybe getting a chance to play the leading role is at best just an actor... a point in the career of an actor, and it may even be a shame for you, the chance you got by pleasing everyone. You have your own A company, maybe you feel nothing, because you used to be in charge of a big business. But it’s different for me, I don’t necessarily want you to share with me these things that I think should be “joy”, I just want to be with you Just sharing."

"The burden in your heart is already heavy enough, why can't you find someone to help you share it?"

"I just love you, that's all."

Xiao Zhe's bandaging work is very beautiful, and it looks like he is experienced.

"I want you to go to Hongtu." Wen Sheng withdrew his hand, feeling complicated, it was just a minor injury, but the other party bandaged it so meticulously.

Xiao Zhe was taken aback, and suddenly realized, "So you are hiding it from me, because you are afraid that I will think that this is your company, that this is an unspoken rule, and not accept your kindness?" He laughed loudly, "Did you be deceived by me before?" Are you scared of the fight with Qin Ruanyao?"

Wen Sheng's expression was a little unnatural.

"Hahahaha, God, I'm going to be mad at you. I didn't agree to shoot the famous player earlier because I hated her and didn't want to accept her favor. But I don't hate you." He restrained his smile and became very gentle, " Facts are the opposite of hate, so I don't reject your unspoken rules."
