sultry

In the autumn of the fifth year, Lu Xuanxuan got married.

That Lu Xuanxuan who was chasing after Cao Ying back then.

When Lu Xuanxuan got married, she specially sent an invitation to Cao Ying, and it was said that she found a poor boy.

Cao Ying went to get married, and Lu Xuanxuan was dressed as a bride, and she looked very beautiful.Cao Ying has a high position and authority now, and Lu Xuanxuan dare not make fun of him too much.

Cao Ying met Lu Ming, his nominal younger brother.

Cao Ying did not touch Lu Ming.

Lu Ming became a little policeman just as Lu Qingwan hoped.

Cao Ying didn't intend to recognize him, nor did he intend to touch him.

When Lu Ming saw Cao Ying, he wanted to shout out, but he didn't say it. He was aggrieved and sad, and looked at Cao Ying. Cao Ying was cold-hearted, and didn't even look at him.

Cao Ying could never forget the fact that Lu Ming shot Ye Rongzhen all his life. When the gunshot rang out, his mind was full of thoughts of destroying the world. He wished he could kill Lu Ming immediately. The little blood relationship was not enough. He was merciful to Lu Ming, and the old man refused to recognize him—the old man said that Cao Ying was the only son of Cao Jian'an.

Thinking about it now, the scene of Ye Rongzhen falling off the cliff on the top of the mountain at that time was like a nightmare for Cao Ying, and the creator of that nightmare, he felt that he had not pulled out his gun and collapsed directly. It's already benevolent and righteous, not to mention, he doesn't like Lu Ming very much.

However, Lu Ming held back Cao Ying. He stared at his elder brother, and said in a sly way, "Brother, I owe Ye Rongzhen an apology." Cao Ying's eyes turned cold when he looked at Lu Ming, indifferently. For example, every time Cao Ying looks at himself in the mirror, why, why do these people think that after causing irreparable harm, an apology can solve it?Forgive me, is it possible that from now on, I can sit back and relax with peace of mind, and no longer have to accept the condemnation of my conscience?Lu Ming almost lost the treasure he wanted to carefully hold in his palm.

What qualifies to be forgiven?

Why let him live without guilt in the future?

Cao Ying had a smile on his lips, looked at Lu Ming as if he was looking at himself, and cursed viciously, "You will never be forgiven in this life, what are you?" Lu Ming looked at himself, who was related by blood. The disgusted eyes of his elder brother finally realized that after he lost his mother, he would lose his elder brother in turn.

He will live in guilt all his life, his hands have been stained with the blood of innocent people from the very beginning, and they can never be washed clean again.People do all kinds of wrong things in their life, some mistakes can be forgiven, some damage is irreversible, the damage has been done, a piece of fine china is broken and it costs more than it was built in the first place What's more, it is far more fragile and precious than porcelain. People can regret it, but there is no turning back. Just like Cao Ying, like Cao Jian'an, like Li Chang, everyone has to do it for themselves choice pays the price.

The price Lu Ming paid was his dirty hands all his life.

Indeed, as Cao Ying thought, he really wanted to seek peace of mind.

However, Cao Ying would not let him feel at ease.Lu Ming smiled wryly.Later, just as Cao Ying said, he did the same thing. Even with Ye Rongzhen by his side, Cao Ying never looked at Lu Ming straightly. When he met him occasionally, it was like looking at a stranger, cold and indifferent, as if This person does not exist in his eyes. Lu Ming sometimes visits his father and his mother in prison, but he never sees Cao Jianan once at Cao Jianan's place. His father and Mothers are old, and they have paid the price for their mistakes. Everyone in this world is not born easily. Many times, people live in a gray area, with colorful surfaces and a lot of ashes and ruins in the dark. Lu Qingwan and Cao Jian'an, what have you got after fighting for this life?

Lu Ming didn't want to be in the Cao family's favor, and he didn't care if the Cao family didn't recognize him. Lu Qingwan didn't want him to step into such a golden cage on the tip of a knife.

He looked at Cao Ying's back and called out softly to his brother.

Cao Ying also met Li Chengyu at Lu Xuanxuan's wedding.Li Chengyu's career has been promoted, and now he has a fiancée, who will get married soon, he grabbed Cao Ying and asked, "Ye Rongzhen... If you come back, treat him well." Cao Ying raised his eyebrows, his eyes became a little dangerous, "And What's the matter with you?"

Li Chengyu thought for a while and smiled wryly. It really had nothing to do with him. He vaguely thought about Ye Rongzhen's face. In fact, he had known Ye Rongzhen for several years. When he first appeared in front of him, his eyes were clean and his body was covered in blood. , was tied to the bedpost. At that time, he felt that those eyes were too clean. No murderer would have such a pair of clean eyes.

When Ye Rongzhen had an accident, he was also sad. After all, it was someone he liked a little bit. The person who had been looking for him for 20 days without sleep was not only Cao Ying, but also Li Chengyu.

However, that liking came to an abrupt end before it had time to ferment.

He has long been disqualified.He doesn't have the courage of Cao Ying. Even if Ye Rongzhen likes him, he will still choose to get married and take a path that ordinary people would take.

He cares about too many things.

He approached Cao Ying and said softly, "After all, I like him a little too."

Cao Ying was not angry this time, because he knew that if he liked it a little, saying it meant it was over.

Li Chengyu is not a fool,

Two people were absent at Lu Xuanxuan's wedding. Li Changluo traveled around the world. I heard that he was in Africa for the past few days. He was already so dark. When he came back this time, he might not be able to watch at all.The other one is Cao Yue. Cao Yue is still tossing with Davis in France, and he doesn't know when it will be the end.

After Lu Xuanxuan's wedding, Cao Ying returned to the courtyard where he and Ye Zi lived.

As if that person is by my side.

Today is actually Cao Ying's birthday. Cao Ying has not had a birthday since Zhou Yan's death. Zhou Yan committed suicide on his birthday.

Cao Ying received a call from Zhou Qi at night, and Zhou Qi said, Cao Ying, Zhou Rui'an has returned to China, do you want to pick him up at the airport?

Cao Ying sneered, he has legs and can't walk?

Zhou Qi ignored him, "Cao Ying, if you don't go, you will regret it forever!"

Just hung up the phone.

Cao Ying looked at the phone, shook his head and smiled, and put out a cigarette in his hand.

Cao Ying always remembered that this day was an early morning in autumn.

In the autumn of Sijiu City, there are fallen leaves all over the ground, falling on the clean streets, flying in the autumn wind, and falling on the hair of passers-by.

He drove the car to the airport, and there was a bustling crowd coming out of the airport, including lovers, fathers and sons, and young girls, some of whom were talking happily, and some were reluctantly saying goodbye.

A thin black boy emerged from the crowd.

Zhou Rui'an ran up to him. This kid hadn't seen him for a few years and had grown a lot.

"I have no legs? Do you have to come and pick me up?"

Cao Ying said impatiently, in fact, there is no need for him to come in person for this kind of thing now, but he still came.

Maybe it was Zhou Qi's last sentence?

"Brother, I went to France for a trip, do you know who I met?"

Zhou Rui'an smiled mischievously.

He yelled over there, "Brother Ye Zi, I'm here! Hurry up!"

Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, then turned around.

In the crowded crowd, he saw that person at a glance.

He was wearing a hat, not very thick clothes, and a sweater coat wrapped around his body, as if he hadn't adapted to the domestic climate.Half of his face was hidden behind the scarf.

His face was very pale, but ruddy white.When the eyes looked over, the end of the eyes slightly raised, Cao Ying thought about those beautiful eyes many times in his dreams.

He panicked, bewildered like a child.

When that person came over and walked to Zhou Rui'an's side, Cao Ying's hands trembled a little. He felt that this was another dream he had, but this dream was too real. The crowd came and went, only Ye Zi was smiling. Standing there, just like when he first saw him.

He heard what he said to that man for the first time in five years.

"You're back?"

The young man opposite smiled and nodded.

"Mom came back from the United States, I came back to see her, and then I will visit Dad's grave."

"Thank you for avenging my father."

Cao Ying was surprised, "How do you know?"

Ye Rongzhen smiled lightly. "What Cao Yue said, I think it is necessary to thank you. After all, my father's matter has nothing to do with you."

"You're back, are you still leaving?" Cao Ying wanted to stretch out his hand to hold Ye Rongzhen, but he didn't dare to blink, as if blinking, everything in front of him disappeared.

Ye Rongzhen raised his eyes and looked at Cao Ying, "Do you want me to go?"

"If I say no, will you stay?"

"Maybe."

So at that moment, Cao Ying knew that the dream five years ago was not a hallucination, and the dream now is not a hallucination either.

The autumn leaves fell like snowflakes, which reminded Cao Ying that there was such an autumn in a trance, he brought the leaves from the prison to him.

And now, his leaves are back.
