[Comprehensive] Light and Shadow

"Vincent! You've arrived!" The man who pushed the door through the store scanned the row of windows, grinned and waved his hands when he saw a familiar figure, and greeted him loudly. Walked over quickly.

The man opened his mouth and smiled, his eyes were pure azure blue, and his fluffy blond hair was combed into a small bundle, which looked handsome and uninhibited. As soon as he sat across from Vincent, he picked up a glass of lemonade on the table and drank it down. Then I finally looked at the boy opposite, "Long time no see, why are you still wearing a suit?"

Even in the fast food restaurant, Vincent still dressed meticulously, with a white shirt and a crisp pure white suit, and the suit was expensive no matter its fabric or style.Vincent, who was sitting at this time, was startled, and then blushed as if feeling a little embarrassed, "I, I'm used to it."

"What kind of suit do you wear in a fast food restaurant?" Leo obviously couldn't understand. He shook his loose undershirt and raised his eyebrows. After getting along for a while, Wen Sen also knew that this young man was so rigid that he was extremely serious. Whether it was etiquette or dress, he felt uncomfortable every time he looked at it.

"Yes, I'm sorry." The boy immediately lowered his head and apologized in a cowardly voice.

"Okay, you didn't do anything wrong, I just said something casually." Leo sighed helplessly, and waved his hand quickly.

The boy in the suit had a pale and delicate face, and his purple hair was hanging down with a sickly beauty.The boy's whole body was tense, he didn't know if he was not used to sitting in a fast food restaurant, or he was not used to being in contact with people, he was sitting with his hands clenched on his legs.At this time, the boy's mouth was slightly pursed, as if he didn't know what to say and was embarrassed.

Leo propped his head up, every time he came out with this person, he felt as if he ran into someone who ran away from another world.No matter when and where he wears expensive suits, he always stutters and doesn't know what to say when he meets people, and he will immediately apologize reflexively if he says a few joking words casually, and sometimes he almost cries with red eyes .

It's not so strange as it is too clean.

Leo still remembers the first time he saw Vincent at the gate of the police station. He saw a strange boy standing at the gate just after finishing the case. There also appeared to be some abrasions on the upper and face.Leo went up to ask directly at that time, the boy was taken aback, he hurriedly stepped back a few steps and lowered his head and said something without even daring to look at each other.

After listening to it several times, Leo finally heard clearly that this kid was robbed.The kid heard that he was going to report to the police station after being robbed, so he walked over, but he didn't dare to go in when he reached the door.Oh, by the way, the point is to hear that this time, what does it mean to report a crime?Isn't this kind of thing common sense?

Leo didn't care about it, and directly carried the boy into the police station. Who knew that the boy's face turned pale when he saw the police officer's gaze in the police station, and then he stammered and couldn't speak no matter what he asked. , I feel as if I was frightened and stupid.

Leo was rushing when he spoke, but before he could ask a few more words, the boy immediately bowed his head and apologized in a hurry. He was extremely sincere, his red eyes seemed to be bullied, and Leo was completely deflated under the eyes of many reproaches.

In the end, the case was still settled, but the boy finally grabbed Leo's sleeve with a pale face, and after a long time of tweaking, he said that he wanted the mobile phone number.Leo twitched the corners of his mouth, but he only gave him a mobile phone number. On the contrary, the boy's face was not so pale, and he finally showed an excited smile, and then bowed respectfully to him with the mobile phone in both hands .

This time, Leo felt a little embarrassed.He did not like the young man's cowardice and cowardice at first, but he really felt that he was narrow-minded when he really showed such a sincere and serious expression in front of him.

Later, Vincent sent text messages, and even the nervous Leo could see that every text message from this young man seemed extremely polite, and every word seemed to be sent after careful consideration.However, the main content of the few text messages is usually unclear, and the boy has to wait for a long time to know what the boy wants to say.

Really, it feels like guessing.Every time Leo looked at a series of text messages with his mobile phone, he glanced at it and then directly turned to the last one.The text messages that can be easily sent with a few words each time have to write a lot. Maybe this is the generation gap between the rich and themselves?

[I don't know if you have time, Mr. Orecht, this weekend. If you are free, can you have a meal together? 】

It was the same this time, Leo didn't pay attention to the long list of foreshadowing at all, and jumped directly to the last sentence.Leo would always text the boy back every time, but he would only reply with a simple sentence or two. As for Vincent's request, he would agree to it if he had nothing to do, probably because Vincent's cautious tone in the text message was too obvious. Ou was too embarrassed to refuse.

This is not the first time that we have invited out for dinner. Leo still remembers that he went to a high-end French restaurant when he had dinner with Vincent last time. He felt uncomfortable when he walked in wearing a sweater and jeans, especially when he had to carry a knife and fork. Facing the expensive dishes on the menu that were as expensive as his own salary, Qiu Fu's heart was suddenly full.

Thinking of this, Leo went back. It was okay to eat, but this time he had to go to a fast food restaurant.

"Let's go, let's order food." Leo looked at the lemonade on the table and knew that it was a free gift from the store. He probably felt embarrassed to order food without waiting for him.

"Ah, yes, Mr. Orector." The boy immediately reacted, then stood up abruptly and replied seriously.

"I told you, call me Leo." Every time he was called Mr. Orector, Leo always felt uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry." Vincent showed an apologetic expression, and immediately lowered his head to apologize, his tone too serious.

Leo sighed helplessly and walked towards the ordering counter without saying anything, and Vincent followed closely behind.

After Leo finished ordering his favorite hamburger and cola set meal, it was Vincent's turn.Unexpectedly, this young man stood in front of the stage in a daze, looking at the menu with a confused face, frowning slightly as if he was struggling.

"What's wrong?" Leo looked over suspiciously.

"I, I don't know how to order." Vincent's face turned red again, and his fingers grabbed the pants of the suit unnaturally.

"Don't tell me you haven't eaten this?" Leo was shocked. Is there anyone in this world who hasn't entered a restaurant that sells hamburgers?

"No, this, this is the first time here." Vincent lowered his head and said with some anxiety, as if he was afraid of being laughed at.

"Where did you come from? Forget it." Leo sighed and waved his hand. Anyway, this person is strange enough, and he is not bad. Then he looked at the waiter, "Just Order the same as me."

When he got back to the table, Leo watched the purple-haired boy holding the hamburger with both hands, and carefully looked at the hamburger with serious eyes, as if it was a very novel thing, and then slowly chewed it in small bites.

Sure enough, you haven't eaten it?

Thinking this way, Leo finished a hamburger in a few gulps, and became more and more confused about what was going on with this person.Leo has also seen rich people, and those powerful people are all very shrewd, either they are with the gangsters, or they are doing some illegal things behind their backs.

And this Vincent, he can tell without mentioning Leo himself, he is definitely a kid from a rich family, he can tell at a glance that he wears different expensive suits every time he comes out, and even the car he sends is It's a sky-high luxury car, and it's a jaw-dropping price to buy a meal casually.However, why do you always feel that this person is completely derailed from this society?

"Is it delicious?" Leo watched the boy eating the burger little by little, like a small animal chewing slowly.Vincent, who must eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day, can't get used to these cheap fast food, right?

"Well, it's delicious!" This time the boy seemed to speak more cheerfully than before, and nodded vigorously with the corners of his mouth raised.

I finally laughed.

Leo yawned lazily as he sucked on his Coke.

Every time this guy came out, he was so reserved and nervous, and he bowed his head to apologize from time to time. Those who didn't know it thought he had robbed him out of nowhere, obviously the young man took the initiative to ask him out.

Leo squinted out the window. He had noticed it for a long time. There was a black car parked there, and someone inside had been watching them.He found out when he came out with Wen Sen for the first time. He thought someone deliberately wanted to kill Wen Sen and rushed into the car. It was only later that he found out that it was Wen Sen's housekeeper and bodyguard.

Isn't it just out for a quick meal?Do you still need to dispatch both the housekeeper and the bodyguard? It's really precious.And if you read it right, the people in the car have been taking pictures of them. Is this considered illegal surveillance?

The shiny black luxury car door was suddenly opened, and a man in a black suit stepped out of the car.

This man was estimated to be in his forties or fifties, and his hair was a little gray. It was not difficult to see that he was once a handsome and outstanding man, but now his face was already covered with wrinkles from the vicissitudes of life.The man's movements were also meticulous, walking slowly across the road step by step in black leather shoes, and then walked into the fast food restaurant.

After entering the fast food restaurant, the man's face was stern but with a sense of unattainable arrogance, ignoring all the suspicious and surprised eyes in the fast food restaurant, the man walked slowly to a table, lowered his head slightly, and spoke indifferently and respectfully .

"Master, Madam is waiting for you at home, I hope you will go back now."

Every time he heard the word young master and the respectful attitude of the old housekeeper, Leo felt that he had traveled through the world.

It sounds like an aristocrat, but is there such an old-fashioned family in New York now?Leo suddenly thought of Earl D. Although he was called an Earl, and the man's behavior was a little strange, but he was not like this Vincent, who felt completely ignorant of the world, and there were really antique-like humans around. Waiting on him.

"Now, now?" From the moment he saw the butler, the boy had already put down the hamburger, put his hands on his knees, and waited earnestly.After listening to the butler's words, the young man was stunned for a while, his purple eyes trembling slightly, but when he glanced at Leo, he confirmed it again seriously.

"Yes, now." The housekeeper lowered his eyes slightly and did not look directly at the young man, but his expression was still respectful.

"Are you going back?" Leo raised his eyebrows while sucking on Coke, while thinking about whether Vincent lived in some castle.No matter how you think about it, it's not right. There is no castle in New York, so you can't live in Disney.

"Hmm. I'm sorry, I can't be with Mr. Orector. No, Leo, finish your meal." Vincent nodded, then bit his lip and said apologetically. His tone couldn't have been more sincere.

"It's okay, don't apologize to me every time you move around." Leo put the finished Coke cup on the table. He had already finished his meal, but Vincent hadn't moved a few sips.

"Then I'll go first, thank you very much for coming to the appointment today." Vincent nodded, stood up and straightened his suit with a serious and solemn expression, and then bowed seriously to Leo.

Leo felt that he was getting used to it, and waved his hand feebly to show that he knew.

Vincent then left with the butler, and Vincent's home was not a castle as Leo thought, but it was also an extremely luxurious villa that could be seen at a glance.After the car drove through the lush and beautiful garden, the car finally stopped. The old butler first got down from the passenger seat, and then respectfully helped Vincent open the car door.

Vincent clenched his hands into fists the moment he got out of the car door, and then took a deep breath before walking down.

The butler didn't push the door open for Wen Sen, but just stood at the door with lowered eyes respectfully and silent.Vincent pursed his lips, and realized that his fingers were trembling. Vincent took a few more breaths in secret before slowly pushing the door open.

It was very dark inside the door, and Vincent's mother didn't seem to like the light coming in from the villa, so she always covered the windows tightly with dark curtains, but at the same time his mother would sit in the room where the light shined the most. place.

Just like now, the soft light reflected the dazzling and bright light from the luxurious crystal chandelier, and her mother sat calmly in front of the square table, her beautiful and dazzling blond hair scattered on her shoulders, luxurious and elegant. In the pure white dress, even though she is approaching 40 years old, this woman still looks very young, with a mature charm.

The woman's gaze was soft, and her fingertips were slowly caressing something. With an elegant smile on her lips, she raised her head and showed a very gentle smile to the boy who walked into the door.

"Baby, you're back." The woman's voice was gentle and warm.

"Yes, Mom." The boy reacted immediately, subconsciously lowered his head and replied seriously.

"Sure enough, baby looks best in a white suit. Come here and let mom take a good look." The woman looked at Wen Sen's clothes carefully, showing admiration and satisfaction in her eyes, and then looked at Wen Sen more softly waved to him.

Vincent nodded silently, then walked towards the woman.When he approached the woman, Vincent's purple eyes suddenly widened, and he was surprised that there were scattered photos on the wooden table, and the photo was the scene of him and Leo eating at the fast food restaurant just now.

"Mom, mom, what is this?" The boy's tone was a little uneasy and flustered, and he even looked at the woman in horror.

"Mom is worried that something will happen to you, so of course I have to take good care of you." The woman smiled more and more gently, stretched out her hand to stroke the boy's hair, her eyes were full of love, "However, mom is a little jealous, you have never been here before mom." You have such a pretty smile on your face."

The woman put down her hand slowly, and then picked up a photo from the table. It was a boy holding a hamburger in both hands, with purple hair hanging down slightly. Blooming up the brilliant arc.

"Baby is not good, why don't you smile at me?" The woman frowned slightly, and said somewhat reproachfully, looking at the boy in front of her like a mother teaching a disobedient child to do wrong things.

"No mother, I'm laughing." The boy shook his head quickly, then looked at the woman with a blunt smile on the corner of his mouth.

The woman tilted her head, stared fixedly at the boy's smile without saying a word, and then her eyes fell on the photo again, the brown pupils slowly filled with impenetrable darkness, "Vincent, mother is not allowed!" You go see this man again."

"Why?" Wen Sen's body shook, and he immediately subconsciously refuted the past.

"Why..." The woman's tone was light, as if she was thinking about the reason.

In the next second, a slap landed on the young man's left cheek. The force seemed to use ten percent of a woman's strength. The young man seemed a little stunned by the slap, and fell to the ground after staggering. His left cheek was hot. The boy was in pain, but the young man knelt on the ground covering his face silently, his body trembling and his head bowed.

"Do you still need a reason for what mother told you to do?" The woman's voice changed from soft to cold, and every word seemed to be pierced through the ice, making the boy's heart tremble when he heard it. The woman reached out and grabbed a handful of photos. Then throw it into the boy's hair.

"But, Mom, you said... Yes, you can make friends." The boy looked at the photos scattered on the ground, his eyes fell on Leo in the photos, and he said in a trembling voice.Before he could speak, his scalp suddenly ached, his hair was grabbed by the woman's hand and pulled up violently, the boy was forced to look up in pain and saw his mother's cold and angry eyes.

"Baby, have you learned to refute mother?" The woman narrowed her eyes dangerously, grabbed the boy's hair tightly with her hand, then grabbed the boy's neck with the other hand, and dragged the boy's head directly to the side of the square table. He slammed into the edges and corners fiercely, "Sure enough, that person has spoiled my baby. How can you not listen to your mother?"

The boy's head was bleeding instantly when he was hit, and he seemed to be stunned there. He didn't realize until the woman let go of his hand. He felt severe pain and warm blood slowly flowing from his forehead.

"Baby, do you understand what mother said? You are not allowed to see that person again." The woman's voice softened again, as if nothing had happened just now, her hand slowly caressed the boy's face, her eyes full of love.

"Mom, mom..." Vincent's voice trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something more.

"Well, what's the matter baby?" The woman continued to laugh, but slowly touched the wound on the boy's bleeding forehead and pressed down heavily. The boy immediately wanted to back away in a muffled pain.But the woman grabbed the boy's neck with all her strength, and deliberately stabbed the wound with her sharp nails with her other hand. The boy gasped in pain, tears kept streaming down his face, and pleaded with his mother in a hoarse voice, and then Desperately apologize.

"Do you know what's wrong?" After hearing the boy's constant apology, the woman was finally satisfied and let go of the boy's neck. The fingertips of the other hand were already stained with bright red blood. The woman reached back and licked Licking the blood from his fingertips, there was still a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Mom, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The young man lowered his head and kept saying in a low voice, tears kept falling from his eyes, and the purple eyes filled with mist dimmed, and couldn't stop from the wound. The fresh blood made that pale face look extremely pitiful.

"Why are you crying so sad?" The woman frowned slightly, carefully holding the boy's face with both hands to make him look up, her eyes were full of worry, and then the woman embraced the boy's trembling body cherishingly in her arms, gently He patted the boy on the back.Her movements were very gentle, as if she was treating a rare treasure, "Baby, don't make mom angry, okay?"

"In this world, only mother loves you the most."
