vulgar

The setting sun in the west hits the beach of the waves, as if dyeing the sea blood red, making people afraid to set foot.

Cheng Yi didn't want to go to the seaside. After he and Zhou Sikao went to the seaside, they lived by the seaside.At that time, they were still teenagers with no fear of sea water.

But after a long time, you will find that the sea is the abyss, which has swallowed up the passion between them, and also swallowed up the deep affection between them that they are proud of.

Probably there are memories about the sea, but to Cheng Yi, they don't seem so good.

So he is afraid of the seaside, he only stands in this seaside villa, on the balcony on the second floor, watching the sunset by the seaside,

Until he heard a distant voice asking.

"Hey. What are you looking at?" A female voice came.

Cheng Yi followed the sound with some surprise.

It is impossible not to be surprised by the Chinese that can still be heard in such a foreign country.

His gaze made him discover that on the balcony next to the villa, a red-haired woman was looking at him with a glass of red wine that was the same color as her hair.

At that moment, Cheng Yi was not so surprised by the Asian face, because Kavin seemed to have mentioned to him just now that there was a Chinese living next door to him.

"You... Hello, ma'am." Cheng Yi was not used to strike up a conversation with strangers in Chinese, so he spoke politely.

"Hello. You look a lot like someone my friend knew." The man grinned and shook her long dark red hair.

She is a delicate and wealthy woman, Cheng Yi came to a conclusion.

She pinched the neck of the goblet with her intricately painted nails and shook it, then looked over with those soft and charming eyes, and politely brought the topic back to the original point, "Excuse me, did I bother you to watch the sea?"

"A lot of people say that I look familiar." Cheng Yi put his hand on the railing of the balcony, "Hai, don't bother me, I'll just take a look."

The man propped his chin, and then looked at the distant seascape, his eyes were far-reaching, but with melancholy: "Look around casually, what can you see?"

Cheng Yi turned his head to look at the red-haired woman who was closer, and asked, "What do you think you can see?"

The woman took a sip of the wine in her hand, and the wine stained on her lips looked like blood in her mouth in the dim sunset.

"I don't know, maybe it's because I'm too easy to be serious, and I don't know what I will feel if I do things casually."

"Then what do you see?"

She carried a strangeness that Cheng Yi couldn't describe, and seemed out of place with this island—she was heavily made up, but she didn't have the leisure and joy of an island vacation, she was soft and generous, but she couldn't find vitality in her eyes.

She is like an old vine, which has lost its luxuriant posture, and some branches are withered and leaves are yellow.

Just as she said: "It's despair."

Cheng Yi frowned, but he was powerless to refute; he had no experience with this woman, but somehow felt the same way.

The sea also brought him despair. A few years ago, before he and Zhou Si parted ways, when he and Zhou Si were close together, after discussing the future, when they crossed out each other's names in the future together, they Be sure that at that time, even the salty sea breeze revealed a breath of despair.

"It seems that you have felt it too?"

The red-haired woman tacitly accepted Cheng Yi's silence as agreeing with her point of view, so she tilted her head and smiled at him.

That smile was inexplicably bitter, like a sharp knife, gouged out Cheng Yi's heart; but there was an inexplicable sense of relief in that smile, which made Cheng Yi just want to explore, but suddenly fell to nothing.

"Okay, I'm done drinking. Thank you."

Before Cheng Yi could open his mouth to comfort the stranger, she had already returned to the room and closed the French windows.

The latch clicked—it was she who locked the window with a view of the sea, as if shutting herself in.

Only Cheng Yi was left alone at the window of his villa, looking at the empty balcony opposite, silently thinking about the red-haired woman he just met.

She is obviously everything is normal, but she has some indescribable dead air, or it is "weird"...

It wasn't until the next day that Cheng Yi seemed to understand where her indescribable weirdness came from.

Time flies, day and night change, and in the afternoon of the next day, Cheng Yi and Kavin got off the motorboat and walked slowly to their residence.

Originally, Su Mei was treading water and surfing with them, but suddenly she was called back by a phone call from her father, so only the two senior brothers were here for vacation.

Cheng Yi patted Kavin.

"What's wrong?" Kavin asked.

Cheng Yiyu reminded earnestly: "Did you take your sincerity this time? If you didn't take it, you should stop it early. That little girl is different from you."

Kavin took Cheng Yi's shoes, took Cheng Yi's change of clothes and threw them to him, then changed the topic indifferently: "Why didn't you come last night?"

Cheng Yi frowned, "I chatted with the woman next door, and fell asleep when I was sleepy."

"That Chinese girl next door? Have you seen her?" Kavin suddenly came alive, "Is she pretty?"

Cheng Yi punched Kavin's strong shoulder: "I want to say beautiful, so Su Mei is in the past tense?"

"No, she is the daughter of my current benefactor, and I still rely on her for food." Kavin paused, then added, "But I won't like her, after all, I love myself more. I love money and freedom , love sex and pleasure."

"I think if she was here, she wouldn't want to hear this." As soon as Cheng Yi finished speaking, he saw that the area around his villa was overcrowded.

"Hey!" Before he could react, Kavin immediately pulled him to the front of the crowd to join in the fun, but it didn't seem to be a good thing.

The person pushed out by the medical staff was sealed in a dark body bag. There were still a few strands of red hair floating outside the body bag. The dark red hair was blown away by the wind. Compared with the bloody glow last night, it was even more shocking Cheng Yi found it terrifying.

Cheng Yi froze in place, watching those people scrawled that delicate man in a body bag amidst the din of people, and the body bag swayed with the pace of the people walking forward, looking light and light, as if the original The soul living in it has long since left.

Cheng Yi never imagined that there would be such a day - the person who was clearly alive last night disappeared before his eyes in an instant.

There was a lot of noise outside, but he felt empty for a moment.

Feeling empty for this woman I met by chance.

Apparently, Kavin didn't have such a one-sided experience, and he didn't feel the same emotion that rose from the bottom of Cheng Yi's heart. On the contrary, he just felt that it was not auspicious to meet such a thing.

So he pulled Cheng Yi away amidst the noise.He took Cheng Yi with Huang Shen out of the room as originally planned, and left Su Mei.

The waves are still beating against the rocks not far away, but some things are dormant here, falling into a deep sleep.

Cheng Yi, who returned to the urban area, was still a little absent-minded, and his conversation with his mentor's partner was not as fluent as the first time, and he accidentally knocked over the teacup just now.This forced him to go upstairs and change his clothes.

In fact, he once called Zhou Si. For some reason, he always felt that he should talk to Zhou Si and listen to his voice. He had had the same impulse when he was abroad for several years, but he never called Zhou Si directly like now. past.

But fortunately, Zhou Si didn't answer, which made him calm down a bit.After returning to his senses, he didn't call Zhou Si again.Probably because of the awkward positioning in his heart, he thought that he and Zhou Si were just friends and brothers, and he was afraid that making an extra phone call would be the so-called "moral loss".

He put away his mobile phone, and saw the tutor sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding tea leisurely, as if waiting for him.

Cheng Yi sat over and listened to the mentor Daley straight to the point mentioning the reason for his trance.

"I heard from kavin." Daley shared a cup of tea with Cheng Yi, which was the Chinese style tea he had learned from Cheng Yi before, "But I must tell you, everyone will meet many strangers in their life, maybe the next second , they died in places you don’t know. Do you want to feel pity for everyone who passes by?”

Cheng Yi was stunned by his question: "I..."

"You are a kind child, but you should not put your kindness on things that are worthless to you. You are a human being, and as a human being, you must learn to focus on the future instead of dwelling on today. There are so many bad people in the world , fighting for the future, but kind people stop to remember a stranger, that future world..."

It is hard to say that the word "kindness" will not be removed.

"Although it sounds nonsensical, I still hope you can wake up." Daley patted Cheng Yi on the shoulder. When he stood up and was about to go out, he turned back to finish the cup of black tea he made on the table, and spoke again. , "Speaking of which, you showed me a picture of your brother before. When I first came up, I seemed to see him. It may be a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask if he came to see you?"

Cheng Yi looked up at Daley in amazement, still trying to determine whether the "brother" he was talking about was the same person as he was thinking.

Daley replied in a wrong way: "If he comes to pick you up, you can go first. We should stay here for a few more days, and we will not turn back until the school confirms that the first payment has been received. If If you want to play together for a while, that's fine..."

Cheng Yi suddenly interrupted the instructor, he said "sorry" before continuing to ask: "Where did you see him?"

Although Daley frowned unhappily, he still answered him: "The lobby on the first floor, maybe you can go and see, but I'm not sure he's still there."

After hearing this, Cheng Yi apologized several times, and even bowed to Daley, before he turned around and opened the door and rushed out, but his hasty footsteps stopped in the spacious corridor again.

He stood in the corridor and saw the elevator at the end of the corridor open, and the person getting off from it was wearing a suit and leather shoes, but he knew the walking posture.

The face of the person who got closer and clearer was familiar.

Cheng Yi was not in a hurry now, he waited for the man in place.

Probably because Cheng Yi blocked the light, the man raised his head slightly and followed the figure to look over.

It was Cheng Yi who spoke first.

"Brother Si."

Zhou Si, who was far away from him, stopped a few steps away, and there were multiple expressions in his eyes, some haggard, some tired, some surprised, some doubted, and finally condensed into a joy.

He took a step forward, rushed to Cheng Yi, and hugged Cheng Yi tightly in his arms.

Cheng Yi pressed against him, his voice was muffled by the cloth, but it still reached Zhou Si's ears.

"elder brother."

"Well, I'm here." Zhou Si responded.

The wind is quiet, and the echo is lingering.
