sunk in yesterday

Madam Bai didn't know what to say: "Ah, this... what happened next?"

Guan Yuzhou didn't care about his response, it seemed that these things had been held in his heart for too long, which made him tired, and he wanted to find a way to pour it out.

"At first I thought he was away for something, but he didn't come back all day. I called him at night and his phone was turned off. I suddenly felt so small. I didn't know where he went. I didn't know. Know if he's safe, or what he's doing.

"He called me back at twelve o'clock on a landline. His voice was very soft, very small, and told me not to worry, he'd be home soon.

"I know that he went back to the main house of the Xia family, and he disappeared from my arms, so it is impossible for him to be taken away by force, he is willing to go back.

"A few days later, I got a breakup call from him.

"He said he was just having fun with me, he was tired of it."

And said he didn't deserve to be with him.

Guan Yuzhou twitched the corners of his mouth, remembering the words he didn't want to think about.

He begged Xia Zhuo on the phone to keep Xia Zhuo, but Xia Zhuo still didn't let go.

It was only then that he realized that he had been talking to Xia Zhuo all this time, and what he would try to give a better life was all a way to comfort himself.

He has nothing and can't give Xia Zhuo anything.

Madam Bai took a breath, "How could it be? Although he has no memory now, he still looks at you differently. You were not together at that time, I knew how much he liked you. "

Guan Yuzhou was not excited, and said lightly: "Really?"

Madam Bai affirmed: "It's simply not true."

Guan Yuzhou closed his eyes, and laughed in a low voice, "The Xia family arranged for me to go to further study for three years, saying that it was to compensate me for the years of youth wasted by their young master. I didn't want to cooperate at first, so they called me raped." -I raped Xia Zhuo, which made me unable to stay in the country. I think it's ridiculous. I've only seen this kind of rhetoric in the farce books of Xia Sanluan. I didn't expect someone to use it on me one day. But when I was forced In the third month after leaving, Xia Zhuo committed suicide."

Guan Yuzhou lit another cigarette.

This time he didn't go to the balcony, and leaned directly against the dining table, letting the smell of smoke stain the furniture.

"Maybe he was forced to break up with me by Xia Hong, but I want to know why he committed suicide."

At that time, he had slowly accepted Xia Zhuo's one-way breakup, and he figured it out, maybe Xia Zhuo was making progress by retreating, and obediently waited for the day of Xia Hong's death at the Xia family.

He also really put all his energy into his career, he must be able to stand firm on the ground after Xia Hong's death.

But Xia Zhuo died before Xia Hong survived.

"He is definitely not someone who would commit suicide," Guan Yuzhou said.

Madam Bai thought for a while and asked, "Have you asked someone about this? There should be quite a lot of servants in their family, no one knows?"

"I searched, but those people have been scattered all over the place, and they can't dig out as if they were hiding. The only one I found was a gardener. He said that he didn't know the specifics. He only said that the young master killed someone and then went crazy."

"Murder? One-sided words are a little unreliable. Then maybe you can ask the psychiatrists around you. The Xia family must have hired him for him." Mrs. Bai said: "This kind of statement is to keep the client's privacy absolutely confidential, but in the end I still ask Qian Match."

"I've found it." Guan Yuzhou sneered again: "What you can think of, I must have thought of it earlier than you."

Mrs. Bai: "..."

Madam Bai gritted her teeth, and immediately regretted why she had to speak cautiously to this heartless person just now.Anyway, Guan Yuzhou couldn't do anything to him, so he raised his voice, "I'm talking to you nicely, but you still want to sarcastically say something to me? Oh, then I advise you to be careful to be a man with your wolf's tail between your legs, so that Xia Zhuo won't have to fight with you again. Get rid of you just like back then."

He was prepared for Guan Yuzhou to be furious, but after waiting for a while, Guan Yuzhou laughed.

And that laugh is a bit...

Tired of panic.

"He won't." The sweetness in Guan Yuzhou's voice couldn't be overshadowed, "It's just three years late, and we will always be together in the future."

"Okay, okay, okay, let's do it, hang up, over." Mrs. Bai had never heard his tone of voice, and was immediately made uncomfortable.

what is this?How could he be as creepy as a kid who just fell in love.

Guan Yuzhou pinched the remaining half of the cigarette, thinking that the puddle of paste in the pot could be saved again.

I thought Mrs. Bai really hung up the phone, but after he came out of the kitchen with the dishes, Mrs. Bai was still talking about the weather in country M.

Guan Yuzhou listened to the evening radio station.

Hearing the slight collision sound, Mrs. Bai, who had an empty stomach early in the morning, couldn't bear it anymore, "...what are you eating?"

Guan Yuzhou glanced at the messy macaroni, "Dip the batter in tomato juice."

"What the hell, it sounds disgusting." Mrs. Bai said with disgust, "Why don't you have any passion for life at all."

Guan Yuzhou said impatiently: "Have you finished talking nonsense?"

Mrs. Bai: "Brother, I haven't eaten anything and listened to you for so long, and you are annoyed as soon as I say a few words."

Thinking of Xia Zhuohong crying and scolding him as an old man at the end of the dream, Guan Yuzhou paused holding the spoon, frowned and corrected his name, "I am younger than you, you are already over 30, and I am only 29 .”

Mrs. Bai: "..."

Fuck it.

What 29 is clearly thirty virtual years old.

How old are you, and you still keep trying to say that you are younger than yourself all day long, is it interesting?Do you still want face?

Madam Bai hung up the phone directly, why should an old dog ruin the good mood of the day early in the morning?No need no need.

A new day has just begun in country M, but Guan Yuzhou is about to rest.

He hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of the paste into his mouth, dropped the plate into the sink, and rinsed his mouth to wash off the oil stains on the corners of his mouth.

The original moving cardboard boxes in the room have been cleaned up. Although there are many empty spaces that have not been filled, and the overall appearance is a bit empty, the inside and outside of the house are cleaned up very neatly.

Can have a new owner move in anytime.

Guan Yuzhou wiped the table, went to the bathroom to wash up, and changed into pajamas when he came out.

There is a double bed in the bedroom, and a group photo hangs above the bed.

The above Xia Zhuo is no different from now, this is the second day after they lived together, Xia Zhuo dragged him to the photo studio to take a photo.

Said it was a wedding photo.

It's just that when he went to country M, all the photos were left in the rented house, and he specially re-edited this one a few days ago.

He stared at Xia Zhuo's bright smiling face for a while, his face softened, he dimmed the bedside lamp, lay down and closed his eyes.

In the dream, he didn't sleep much. Although his body didn't feel tired, his spirit would also be exhausted. He almost lost consciousness as soon as he touched the pillow.

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight came in, Guan Yuzhou was woken up by the biological clock, changed into sportswear and went for a workout.

A person's advantages will be strengthened in the dream, and he must ensure that he has a healthy and strong body.

When the sun was fully out, he went back to take a shower and changed into clean clothes, took his keys and cell phone and went out again.

He found the flower shop where he bought the bouquet last time. Only the proprietress was there early in the morning.Maybe he left a deep impression on others, the proprietress just stared at his face for a few seconds, and recognized him as the young man who came back last time to buy flowers for his dead wife's grave.

Guan Yuzhou nodded politely at her: "Hello."

"Ah, hello, what kind of flowers do you want to buy this time?" With the lesson from last time, the proprietress didn't dare to recommend any more, "You came early, the flowers have just arrived at the store, and they are the freshest at this time. "

"Birds of paradise, lilies, and champagne roses." Guan Yuzhou reported the exact same order as last time without saying a single word.

The proprietress was in a dilemma again: "Champagne roses don't arrive until noon. Would you like to change them to something else? Pink roses or baby's breath are also very good in meaning."

Guan Yuzhou weighed it up and shook his head, "Then I only need a mix of lily and bird of paradise, please help me match a bunch."

"Okay, then you... go to the coffee shop for a while?"

"When can I get it?"

The proprietress promised: "There is nothing to do now, and a bundle will be wrapped in half an hour."

Guan Yuzhou nodded: "Okay."

He paid first, then pushed open the glass door and walked out onto the street.The coffee shop next door has just opened, and there are some office workers sitting in it, one or two of them look very busy and energetic.

He didn't go in, but walked aimlessly around.When the time was almost up, I went back to the flower shop directly. The proprietress had already wrapped his bouquet, and the fresh and tender petals were covered with crystal water droplets. As soon as I approached, I could smell a faint fragrance.

"Thank you." He half-embraced the flowers in his arms, ready to leave.

"Do you still need a card?"

Guan Yuzhou: "No need."

The proprietress had a good impression of such an affectionate young man, and she watched him leave with a smile: "Come again next time."

The cemetery is remote and few taxis can get to this place.Guan Yuzhou walked to the station with a bouquet of flowers in his arms. Once he was acquainted with each other, he needed to navigate the last time he came, but this time he had engraved the way in his mind.

After waiting for another half an hour, the bus wobbled over.Apart from him, there was only one young woman with a child in the car. He found a seat and sat down. The child stared at him for a long time, then suddenly grabbed his mother's hand and ran over.

Guan Yuzhou looked down at him, while the boy stared at the flower in his hand.

His mother called him, and he was still squatting beside Guan Yuzhou, not afraid of his indifferent face, he opened his big watery eyes and asked innocently: "Uncle, are you here to see your father too?"

Guan Yuzhou smiled.

If Xia Zhuo was here, he would definitely have to yell at him about his son's cuteness again.

He replied: "No, uncle is here to see big brother."

"Is big brother asleep too?"

"Yes."

The little boy said seriously: "My mother said that we will meet again one day. My father and elder brother must be in another place."

These are just lies to coax the child, the woman hurriedly walked over from the seat, and hugged the little boy back, "Excuse me sir, I'm sorry to bother you."

Guan Yuzhou: "It's okay."

Indeed, one day we will meet again.

He believed lies.

After learning the sad news of Xia Zhuo's death abroad, he was like a demon. Every night, he would dream of the boy who was delivering flowers on campus, dreaming of him crying and laughing, and when he woke up in a daze, he still felt Xia Zhuo is by her side.

It's just that you can't see it, you can't touch it, and there will always be a day when we meet again.

It was a lie he had told when he was sick, and the lie was now the truth.

After arriving at the destination, the little boy waved goodbye to him warmly.

Guan Yuzhou raised his hand to cooperate with the move, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction from them.

After all, Xia Hong didn't let Xia Zhuo enter the ancestral grave, and bought a secluded Fengshui treasure land halfway up the mountain, where he was the only one buried two kilometers away.

The cemetery guard in this area is a retired old man in his 50s. When he saw him, he greeted him with a flustered expression, and yelled out from about ten meters away, "Oh, Xiaoguan, I don't know why at noon yesterday. The sky changed, and a thunder fell, splitting the pine trees on the mountainside!"

Guan Yuzhou frowned. It didn't rain at all yesterday. How could there be thunder?

The gravekeeper said: "It's absurd to say, and it only flashed once. It was so bright at that time. If I didn't go up the mountain to see it later, I wouldn't know it was thunder! But your brother's grave is fine. I'll go to see it." drive you up?"

Yesterday at noon...it happened to be the time when he fell asleep.

The hand holding the flower tightened slightly, Guan Yuzhou nodded, "Okay, sorry for the inconvenience."

The tomb guards kept saying "It's weird" and "It's the first time I've encountered this in my life" all the way, repeating these two sentences over and over again.

Guan Yuzhou frowned and didn't say a word. He arrived at the cemetery halfway up the mountain without saying a word. From a long distance, he could see that the originally lush pine tree had turned into charred black.Originally, when the sun came down, its shadow covered most of the stone tablet below, but now it has no leaves, its trunk and branches have also shrunk, and the gray and white stone tablet is completely exposed under the eyelids. The flowers he brought last time are still on the ground , but the delicate petals have dried up, leaving only the outer wrapping paper still fluttering gently with the breeze at this time.

He replaced it with a fresh lily, looked at another pine sapling that had fallen under the railing, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The gravekeeper took out a shovel from the car, held it in his hand and weighed it twice, "I was startled by thunder yesterday, so I asked someone to bring a small sapling back from outside. Dig it away, it’s ugly and unlucky to put it here. No, there are also young saplings, so I’ll dig the hole this afternoon and plant a new one in.”

Guan Yuzhou suddenly said, "I'll dig."

"Ah?" The gravekeeper shook his head, "No need, I should do this kind of thing."

Guan Yuzhou reached into his pocket and took out a heavy envelope.He handed the envelope over, and after the old man in front of him subconsciously took it, he repeated what he said just now, "I'll dig the pit, and I'll plant the saplings. The sun is bright at noon, so you can go down the mountain to rest."

The tomb guard knew that there was a stack of money in the envelope as soon as he touched it.

His eyes flickered slightly, "What does this mean? The maintenance fee for this area has already been paid enough."

Guan Yuzhou didn't change his face: "I'm Xia Zhuo's brother, I just want to spend an afternoon with him alone, and I also want to do something for him."

He emphasized "one person" and asked the other party to close the road in the afternoon and not allow others to come to this mountain again.

The gravekeeper shirked a few more times, meaning that he could do this without his money.But Guan Yuzhou's attitude was tough, and he also moved his mind. He held the envelope firmly after a few back and forth, and vowed that he would put a construction sign under the mountain to block the road.

After the people left, Guan Yuzhou stood by the fence and lit a cigarette, blowing the wind for a while.After the smoke reached the cigarette holder, he returned to the grave and wiped the stele carefully.It is clearly using the name that Xia Hong forcibly changed, but the column for parents is still engraved with adoptive father and adoptive mother.

He has become extremely proficient at digging holes.

It's just that what he dug was not the tree, but Xia Zhuo's stone grave.

There was a crack at the top of the stone tomb, and he pried it hard along the crack, and the protective soil underneath was exposed.

He faintly felt that Dao Lei was definitely not a coincidence.

The urn was wrapped in gold cloth, Guan Yuzhou brushed off the soil from the top, and immediately noticed something was wrong.

It's too light, it shouldn't be so light.

He opened the lid of the box, and the inside was really empty, not a single speck of dust remained.

Xia Zhuo's ashes disappeared.

Xia Zhuo:? ? ?
