stars run to him

【70】

When Lin Yuxing chased him out, the man was also walking back.

This time the man was not accompanied by his wife and children.They looked at each other, and the man showed strange expressions. He didn't expect Lin Yuxing to come looking for him.

In the crowd, Lin Yuxing was panting heavily, his chest was heaving up and down, he must have been looking for him for a long time.

"Uncle Qu." Lin Yuxing called out the title subtly.

After so many years, Qu Ling was much older and haggard, and she was no longer as vigorous as she was back then.He approached Lin Yuxing calmly, seeing the other party's inappropriate attire, Qu Lingnian remained silent.

The two walked aside at the same time, and found a corner with few people.

"Long time no see, little star."

Lin Yuxing didn't respond, and after a long time, he said: "It's really you..." He looked blankly at the scar on Qu Lingnian's hand, and he couldn't forget the handful of plum candy that Qu Lingnian handed over in the scorching heat.

It was precisely because of that handful of candy, and also because of Qu Lingnian, that summer became extremely difficult.

Qu Lingnian followed Lin Yuxing's line of sight, glanced at his hands, and suddenly understood: "I was thinking, why did you suddenly recognize me." These two scars are unique in shape and hard to forget.

Moreover, he was also the chief culprit who broke up the two brothers back then, so Lin Yuxing must not forget.

There was a lot of noise in the exhibition hall.

Qu Lingnian didn't have a lot of time to catch up with Lin Yuxing. Besides, he thought Lin Yuxing was a little dull, probably because he hadn't decided what to say or what to ask.

So, he gave Lin Yuxing a business card.

"My wife and children are still waiting for me, so I can't stay longer. If you have time, let's meet in private, and I have something for you. It's Qu..." He put his hands behind his back, between words, eyes Dodging unnaturally, he changed his words, "It belongs to your brother."

Obviously, Lin Yuxing's shoulders shook.

At the moment when Qu Lingnian turned to leave, Lin Yuxing couldn't help himself and stopped him, and asked bluntly, "Where is he?"

Qu Lingnian stopped.

Lin Yuxing seemed to be recovering, and there were countless questions in his mouth to ask him: "Where is Lin Yuheng?" He stood in front of Qu Lingnian, his face pale, "Have you returned to China? Where are the others?"

Qu Lingnian was silent for a while, and said, "You are still working, so I won't disturb you for now."

Lin Yuxing was unwilling to let him go, and asked stubbornly: "Why did you give me his things? What did you do to him?"

After all, Lin Yuxing felt impolite, so he changed his mind and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Qu Lingnian looked rather embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "This matter... I can't explain it clearly in a few words."

"..."

Qu Lingnian still said the same thing, make another appointment in private.

His attitude made Lin Yuxing confused, and even a little frightened.When Qu Lingnian left sideways, Lin Yuxing grabbed his wrist, held it tightly, and gritted his teeth, "Speak clearly!"

In this world, there is nothing that cannot be explained clearly, except that you don't want to say it.

The confrontation between the two caused the people around them to cast strange glances.

Qu Lingnian glanced at the time, his eyes darkened.

He didn't have much patience with others, maybe because of guilt, maybe because of guilty conscience, he gave in.

He signaled Lin Yuxing to let go: "Wait a moment."

Qu Lingnian took out his mobile phone and called his assistant, asking him to help send his wife and children back to the hotel first.

Afterwards, he calmly asked Lin Yuxing: "How long will your work be over? I can wait for you. Let's find a quiet place, this is not suitable."

Lin Yuxing didn't even want to work, he said without hesitation: "I can finish now."

Qu Lingnian couldn't help but frown and protest at his clothes.

Lin Yuxing immediately said: "Wait for me for a few minutes, I'll go change it."

After Qu Lingnian's assistant got the news, he called a car for them.The location where the car went was a coffee shop near the hotel.

Qu Lingnian specially asked for a box in the back. He looked at the menu and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty."

Qu Lingnian directly ordered Lin Yuxing a cup of Lin Yuheng's favorite drink. He thought that the twins' preferences should not be much different.

But Qu Lingnian overlooked one point, Lin Yuxing's family background, this kind of growth environment, never had time to sip a cup of coffee in the afternoon.

Lin Yuxing had never drank this kind of coffee that cost several hundred yuan for a small cup.He looked at the drink in front of him that was not suitable for him, and he didn't take a sip, nor was he in the mood to drink it.

He was waiting for Qu Lingnian to give him an answer.

But Qu Lingnian didn't say anything for a long time, and only said to him: "This time, I specially brought my wife back to China to relax, and I also want to get together with relatives whom I haven't seen for a long time."

"Mr. Qu, I'm not interested in these things." Lin Yuxing said bluntly, changing from her timidity when she was a child.

In order not to make the atmosphere too awkward, Qu Lingnian smiled and said, "You have changed a lot, but you and Yu Heng really look exactly the same."

Lin Yuxing lowered his eyes noncommittally.

Suddenly, Lin Yuxing's cell phone vibrated a few times, it was a message from "Liao Yan" in the note, and a missed call.

Lin Yuxing replied.

Qu Lingnian took a sip of coffee and asked, "Friend?"

Lin Yuxing responded briefly.

Qu Lingnian didn't understand at all and said: "I didn't expect that you are more cheerful than Yu Heng now."

"..."

Only now did Qu Lingnian realize that Lin Yuheng hadn't had a single friend after being abroad for so many years.

Qu Lingnian clasped his hands, put them on the table, rubbed his thumbs up and down, and said, "Yu Heng is not very talkative, and he doesn't have many friends."

But the real situation is not like this.

Every day after class, Lin Yuheng would go back to the villa full of roses and play the role of "Qu Xing" well.This has become the basic task of his life in the Qu family. If he can't complete it well, he will be kicked away mercilessly.

He simply doesn't have time for himself to make friends.

But in Qu Lingnian's eyes, no matter where the children in the orphanage go, they are just asking for a living.

He thinks that he gave Lin Yuheng an incomparable growth environment and cultivated him into a talent.

In a way, he felt that he did not owe Lin Yuheng anything.

So much so that when Lin Yuheng talked back to him for the first time, he slapped him hard.He thinks that letting Lin Yuheng leave penniless is the best way to deal with this kind of person who doesn't know how to repay him.

He doesn't like to disobey his children.

After the car accident in city D, Qu Lingnian received a call from China.He thought it was a scam call, but after the other party insisted and explained again and again, he was convinced of this fact.

His adopted son died.

Died in a ridiculous car accident, not even the body.

That day, as he was rushing to a piano performance, he suddenly felt dizzy.

No matter how much Qu Lingnian was dissatisfied with Lin Yuheng, he had a little "family affection" for Lin Yuheng in these years.Facing this sudden parting of life and death, he felt deeply sorry.

However, he was still digging into a dead end, feeling disappointed that this was all Lin Yuheng asked for, and it was the price of Lin Yuheng's disobedience.

Not his fault.

After thinking about it, he felt more and more that it was Lin Yuheng's own fault, so he angrily said that he didn't care about Lin Yuheng's life and death, and he would deal with it whatever he wanted.

Now, more than two years have passed.

Qu Ling has aged a lot, and with the passage of time, he, who has a hard heart, slowly began to recall some past events and count his regrets in detail.

He no longer hides anything from Lin Yuxing.

"One day two years ago, Yu Heng suddenly seemed to be a different person. His temper became very irritable, which made the family restless. He even said insanely that he had to go back to find you, and if he didn't go back, it would be too late."

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, and thunder rang out.

Lin Yuxing trembled involuntarily, and got goosebumps all over his body.He looked out of the window and saw layers of dark clouds all over the sky, everything outside was wrapped in haze, making it difficult to breathe.

Lin Yuxing especially hates rainy days without Gu Zhongyi by his side, he can always encounter some bad things.

Qu Lingnian's tone was dull, accompanied by the sound of howling wind.

"He begged me to let him go back to the country, just because he wanted to find you."

Lin Yuxing couldn't help being stunned: "What do you mean?"

Qu Lingnian seemed to mention an absurd and funny thing. He looked at Lin Yuxing who was sitting upright in front of him, and laughed: "He said that if he doesn't return to China, you will die in a car accident. He said he must stop it, to save you."

Lin Yuxing's pupils shrank, his whole body seemed to be soaked in ice water, and his thoughts were slow.

In front of his eyes, Qu Lingnian's Adam's apple rolled, so to describe it.

"He seems crazy."

Recalling that quarrel, Qu Lingnian still felt a splitting headache: "He was only 17 years old at the time, and I had responsibilities and obligations to him. But he seemed to have taken gunshots, quarreled with me constantly, and even provoked my wife. .”

"..."

"This is my bottom line." Qu Lingnian said helplessly, "That was the first time I hit him. I use my hands to play the piano, and he still provoked me like this!"

After Qu Lingnian found a suitable excuse for his violence, he said, "He was beaten and refused to accept it, so he threatened to break off relations with me. So, I didn't give him a penny, but allowed him to return to China."

At that time, Qu Lingnian reasonably suspected that Lin Yuheng was hit because of the arrival of the new little Qu Xing.He thought, the children in the orphanage are so lacking in love, and they will threaten them with death if they don't go well.

Now think about it, what is he going to get angry with an underage child?

If he had toughened his temper back then, he would have disagreed with Lin Yuheng's return to China.Now, maybe Lin Yuheng is still alive and well.

Qu Lingnian closed his eyes, and while his heart ached, he looked at Lin Yuxing sadly.

What he got was Lin Yuxing's cold gaze, which seemed to peel off his skin.

Qu Lingnian swallowed, and looked away: "Actually... I'm not preventing him from returning to China. I have prepared a sum of money for him, and I want to give it to him when he turns 18, so that he can do what he wants to do. "

He said, "For example, let him return to China to find you."

"..."

In Qu Lingnian's mixed voice and emotion, Lin Yuxing didn't know why, but only saw hypocrisy.

It's a pity that Lin Yuxing has no time to care about the truth. His mind is full of the "stranger" who pushed him on the sidewalk two years ago.

Could it be that that person was Lin Yuheng?

No, this is incredible.

If that person was Lin Yuheng, then why did Lin Yuheng know about the car accident?Where did Lin Yuheng go after saving him?Why didn't Lin Yuheng immediately recognize him?

There are so many loopholes in this logic that even Lin Yuxing himself finds it ridiculous and outrageous.

Not long after, the door of the box was knocked twice by the assistant: "Mr. Qu, it's me."

"Come in."

The assistant came in with a not-so-small black leather box, and put it on the table lightly.

Qu Lingnian said, "These are all his things."

Lin Yuxing hastily opened the box, which contained Lin Yuheng's school supplies and a box with a combination lock.

"I don't know the password of the box inside, and I don't know what's inside."

Qu Lingnian simply handed it to Lin Yuxing: "If I give you these, it can be regarded as a return to the original owner." He continued, "There is also a card inside, and the password is your birthday. This is what I just said , the money that was originally intended to be given to him is now—”

"enough!"

Lin Yuxing suppressed his emotions and raised his head pretending to be "expressionless".Among all the speculations, his patience was about to reach its limit.

Lin Yuxing's eyebrows slowly showed sullen anger: "You have been talking about it for so long, can you stop beating around the bush?"

He was irritated every sentence, which was an emotion he had never expressed.

"Mr. Qu, I don't have that much time to spend with you. Where is Lin Yuheng? I just want to know this."

Lin Yuxing didn't understand the intention of Qu Lingnian's operation, and he didn't want to understand it. He was always unwilling to think about the bad.But inadvertently, his hand quietly dropped to his leg, and the chill rushed to his palm.

He was trembling, and he had already guessed it.

He desperately hoped that Qu Lingnian could tell him a completely different answer.

However, Qu Lingnian was extremely cruel.

"In addition to bringing my wife back to visit relatives this time, I also want to bring these back to the country and burn them here as if they were returned to your brother. But when I met you today, I thought about it, so I might as well give it to you."

Qu Lingnian sighed and said, "You are his only relative, you should have heard of his death."

Another thunderstorm, the torrential rain in early summer and June, slapped the windows mercilessly.

Lin Yuxing seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and in an instant, he slumped on the chair.

Qu Lingnian told Lin Yuxing: "On August 20, 8xx, he was hit by a vehicle on the flyover in D City and plunged into the river. Due to the heavy rain, his body has not been found yet."
