They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

Luo Chi was really worried in his dream.

Aunt Ren didn't help him find a way, but even laughed at him, and nodded his head to ask him to pay back the debt.

Luo Chi wanted to pretend to be unhappy to scare Aunt Ren, but failed after less than half a second.He lowered his head, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but keep lifting up, and the smile couldn't stop coming out.

He misses Aunt Ren very much.Thinking of planning to go to Aunt Ren to apologize for these years, he seemed to have a lot of things to apologize for.

Now he finally dreamed of Aunt Ren, but he forgot what he wanted to say.

He just tried to wipe his eyes more clearly, to see the smiling face clearly.His mind is like a squirrel that can eat memories, there will always be a large blank space, it doesn't matter if a lot of memories are eaten, he doesn't want to forget Aunt Ren.

Aunt Ren raised her hand with a smile, touched his hair again, held him in her arms and rubbed him vigorously like when she was a child, and finally let go of her hand after rubbing enough.

Aunt Ren bent down and touched his forehead with her forehead: "Be happy."

When she was recuperating at Wanghai Villa, every time Aunt Ren had to leave, she would say goodbye to him like this.

Luo Chi had actually been happy during those three months.

Aunt Ren had something to leave, and he stayed in the villa by himself, as long as he thought that Aunt Ren would come, he felt happy.When Aunt Ren finally came back, of course she was even happier.

He actually suspected that Aunt Ren had already seen that he pretended that his leg injury was not healed, but Aunt Ren never asked.

If Aunt Ren didn't ask, he couldn't help but want to steal another day.

He pressed that leg, sat on the roof of the car and made a wish to the stars, one more day, one more day.

When he grows up, he will stay with Aunt Ren for many days and never leave.

At that time, he felt that he must be the happiest thief in the world, how could he steal so many happy things just by breaking his leg.

Luo Chi stood up, he no longer pretended to have an injury on his leg.He stood up along with him, wanting to follow that figure.

After running a few steps, Aunt Ren turned around and slapped her forehead bluntly twice.

...he owed a lot of debt.

Aunt Ren doesn't like people who don't pay back their debts.

Luo Chi stopped at the same spot, he looked behind him, and then went to Aunt Ren.

He remembered how he did it when he was a child.

Luo Chi raised the corners of his mouth.He tried to hold himself upright, trying to look better and more reassuring.

……

Probably because he is too unconvincing now, the plan to send Aunt Ren out this time is not very successful.

He saw Aunt Ren sighed softly, then came back and knocked him on the head.

Aunt Ren took his hand.

Luo Chi turned his head, and suddenly found that the always blank space had turned into a beach and a starry night.

On the sand is a bright and hot bonfire.The bonfire is blazing, the wood is burning loudly, sparks are lifted up by the wind from time to time, and the waves become gentle at night like this.

Aunt Ren led him through the crowd and walked straight ahead, to a place where the flames could hardly reach, and to the side of the jagged rocks.

Luo Chi slightly opened his eyes.

Here he saw Mr. Shadow.

Mr. Shadow stretched out his hand, and Aunt Ren put his hand in.

The siren sounded for a long time on the opposite side of the sea, the lights of the cruise ship suddenly illuminated the sea surface, and Luo Chi's vision became bright white.

Everything in the dream gradually disappeared in this white light.

Luo Chi stood in the thick fog again.

……

He rested here for a long time, and for the first time suddenly felt anxious.

Here are his memories.He has been guarding these memories like a pauper dragon, picking and picking through them, struggling to find a small fragment that can be used as a bedtime story so that he can fall asleep peacefully.

Then more thorns from the memory spread and grew, binding his body, binding his hands and feet, and keeping him in place.

He doesn't want to stay here.

He didn't know how to get out, so he ran in the direction of the siren by instinct.

He found himself being swallowed by this fog, and the more he ran, the more he swallowed, but it didn't matter, he had to look outside before disappearing completely.

He remembered that it was a hospital outside. He didn't like the hospital very much, but it was not a big problem.

He wants to look outside.

Luo Chi knocked out the fog.

He could no longer distinguish his own shape and outline, but he could smell the smell of the waves, and the cool spray was blown up by the sea wind, gently touching his face.

……

Ming Weiting holds Luo Chi in his arms, and carefully puts him on the reclining chair.

There are also on-board doctors on the cruise ship, and the corresponding wards for recuperation have been remodeled.The Xun family sent another person, and the necessary medical facilities should be fully prepared.

After confirming that Luo Chi's physical condition was basically stable, Ming Weiting took him back to the cruise ship.

They came back early in the morning, and the wind hadn't been burned by the sun, but the cold at night had basically faded away.

The weather was fine, the sun came out a little bit through the clouds, and it was a very saturated reddish warm orange.

Luo Chi's body suddenly struggled weakly in his arms.

Ming Weiting protected him in time, and was about to ask Uncle Lu to fetch the oxygen generator, raised his eyes and was about to speak, when he suddenly froze.

Luo Chi rested in his arms and slowly opened his eyes.

Unlike every time he woke up before, Luo Chi's expression was a little dazed, but his eyes were no longer as empty as before.

Ming Weiting looked at him and said in a low voice, "Huomiao."

Luo Chi blinked slightly.

He subconsciously recognized the other person's mouth shape, and then he remembered that he could hear a little voice, and those voices were processed by slow-moving gears, and then he came up with the answer bit by bit: "Flame?"

Ming Weiting slowly held his hand.

Ming Weiting raised his other hand and stroked Luo Chi's hair.Finding that Luo Chi still didn't resist, the force of his palm fell a little deeper: "Who are you?"

Luo Chi was stumped by this question.

He carried a bunch of memories that couldn't be lost in large and small packages, holding them tightly like a miser, and ran out of the fog non-stop, but he seemed to have forgotten to bring this.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to want him to answer this question, but after waiting for a while, he patted the top of his hair and shook his head slightly.

Then, the voice spoke slowly at the same slow speed, "Who am I?"

Luo Chi slightly bent his eyes.

He remembered that he said solemnly: "The creditor."

Ming Weiting looked at him and frowned slightly.

Luo Chi saw his expression in his eyes, slowly bit the tip of his tongue, and smiled triumphantly in his eyes.

It was the first time Ming Weiting saw Luo Chi with such an expression, although he didn't understand it, when he came back to his senses, he found that he had already instinctively smiled.

He thought it must be because of Luo Chi's current state, Luo Chi had recovered from before, he was concerned about Luo Chi's body, at this time he was relieved, and couldn't help being happy.

But he was still holding on to the question that Luo Chi couldn't answer just now, so the smile only paused for a moment before being suppressed.

"Shadow." Luo Chi answered carefully this time, "Shadow, sir."

After running for so long, Luo Chi is actually very tired, and he is still unable to cope with his body.It's like pulling the lead bit by bit in a far away place to make corresponding movements.

But he still patiently gathered his strength to make the answer clear and fluent enough.

Luo Chi read these words very lightly and slowly. He had to hold each word for a few seconds before saying it solemnly, carefully and standardly.

Luo Chi rested for a while, then accused him again: "The creditor."

Ming Weiting did understand what he meant this time.

...According to the trading rules, what Luo Chi gave was only the price of that painting.

Even if the price he gave was doubled, there was no reason to buy more of the other party's paintings at the same price.

The "Mr." of the Ming family probably never did such unruly, forced buying and selling.

Ming Weiting collected himself, he was still sorting out his thoughts, trying to find a more reasonable reference.However, Luo Chi had exhausted the last bit of strength he had saved, and his head and neck were slowly drooping.

Ming Weiting raised his hand in time to put it on his shoulder, giving him something to rely on.

Although Luo Chi was exhausted, he was still awake.He tried hard not to close his eyes, and looked seriously at the sparkling water surface reflected by the sunrise.

"Aunt Ren." Luo Chi said softly.

Ming Weiting heard his voice, he was at Luo Chi's left at the moment, without deliberately adjusting his position, he asked slowly in Luo Chi's ear, "Remember Aunt Ren?"

Luo Chi nodded slightly and closed his eyes.

Ming Weiting turned his face sideways, he watched Luo Chi's eyelashes close very slowly.

……

Their conversation just now was very relaxed, Luo Chi even had the energy to joke with him as soon as he woke up, just like when he was in the hotel.

But he has already made a very serious mistake, so this time he will not just think that nothing is wrong, and hug Luo Chi to rest in peace.

Ming Weiting held Luo Chi's shoulder and shook it lightly.

Luo Chi was awakened by the shaking, and subconsciously opened his eyes.His mind was still stunned, and the mist behind those eyes was so turbulent that it would drown a person's life, but he woke up completely in the next moment.

After waking up, Luo Chi blinked lightly, and when he saw Mr. Shadow, a smile slowly overflowed from his eyes.

Ming Weiting looked into those eyes.

He recalled all the reference materials given by the doctor, and after contacting and comparing all the information that happened in the hotel, he was finally able to distinguish the difference gradually.

Luo Chi, who was awake, was really happy to see Mr. Shadow, and his smile was genuine.

Luo Chi tends to be overly satisfied, and feels happy when encountering something worthwhile.But those sorrows were too deep and depressing, and finally at a certain point, Luo Chi was no longer able to deal with them at all.

So Luo Chi separated himself too.He left a scarred self to sacrifice the pain and sadness that could not be dealt with, and was forever sunk in the thick fog.The rest come out to breathe by themselves, come out to find happy things, and come out to reassure those who care about him.

Until the day the cruise ship arrived, Luo Chi was found on the beach... At that time, Luo Chi finally no longer had any strength to interact with the outside world, and all that was left for everyone was a temporarily living shell.

The mistake that night at the hotel did not make Luo Chi happier.

Ming Weiting didn't distinguish the fire, didn't realize that the fire had been surrounded by viciousness, didn't notice Luo Chi who was entangled by thorns and thorns, and was slowly suffocating.

The pain, hurt, and despair that has been caused will not go away on their own if you don't think about it or touch it.

It was my own doing something wrong, I didn't pass through that lively and reassuring halo, and walked over to hug him.

Can't do it again.

"Huo Miao." Ming Weiting said, "Let's do happy things."

"Do a lot of happy things, more than all the sadness you've ever had before."

Ming Weiting looked at him: "Get rid of all the sorrows."

You can't just make up your own mind, and you can't just shut up your sad self hastily.

Luo Chi hasn't recovered his ability to distinguish, so he hasn't discovered that there are more and more parts locked up by himself...even including his entire cognition of himself.

"Don't be in a hurry." Ming Weiting said, "You don't have to be in a hurry to be happy, it's okay."

"Be happy too, and laugh when you are happy."

Ming Weiting told him slowly: "You can also be sad."

Luo Chi's eyes flickered slightly, and he already guessed that "Huo Miao" was talking about himself.

Ming Weiting spoke very slowly, just enough for him to continue to understand the rest of the words.

Luo Chi opened his eyes a little while listening. He was a little surprised by what the other party said, and shook his head slightly: "I don't..."

He wanted to say "I'm not sad", but a strange pain suddenly appeared deep in his chest.Before Luo Chi could even react, he snorted, curled up instinctively, lost his balance and fell down.

He fell into Ming Weiting's arms, and was hugged by Ming Weiting and sat on the deck.

Luo Chi's forehead kept breaking out in cold sweat, and his body curled up tighter and tighter.

He only came out with those happy memories, and the deeper part of his mind was still chaotic.I don't know what happened at all, I just panted lightly in cold sweat, and looked at the figure beside me with wide eyes.

He just wanted to come out and have a look, for as long as he could.

He wanted to come out so much, even if the price was that he would disappear, he still wanted to come out to see Aunt Ren and Mr. Shadow.

……

The people who rushed over were stopped by Ming Lu and retreated back to the cabin silently.

Ming Lu didn't let anyone get close, and stood guard not far away.

When he returned to the boat, he originally wanted to talk about Mrs. Luo.

The Luo family was about to collapse due to the earth-shattering disturbances, and Luo Chengxiu was hospitalized, so he might not be able to come to drink tea for the time being.The girl from the Luo family probably couldn't bear the blow and ran out of the house, but she hasn't been found yet...

...but these things are totally unimportant.

Ming Lu sent someone to pick up the oxygen generator, and reminded the housekeeping supervisor to lay a thicker and softer carpet near the recliner next time.

Ming Weiting knelt on the deck, firmly protecting Luo Chi: "Huomiao."

"Huomiao." Ming Weiting relaxed his arms little by little, "Look at me."

It happened suddenly, fortunately he didn't let Luo Chi fall.

Ming Weiting simply didn't stand up, but just embraced Luo Chi's body, stroking his trembling back over and over again.

Luo Chi was in so much pain that he couldn't move, but he still didn't know how to guard against him, he just opened his eyes wide, with one hand hanging stiffly by his side.

Ming Weiting clasped his hands behind his back tightly.

He lowered his gaze, but still didn't show it on his face, he just held Luo Chi's hand and put his cuff inside.

"Laugh when you're happy." Ming Weiting asked softly, "What should I do when I'm sad?"

Luo Chi slowly understood the question and slowly closed his eyes.

He's not avoiding the question, he's trying to find the answer.

... It wasn't just Mister Shadow who asked him that question.

Aunt Ren also asked.

Because everyone believed that he lost his sister, he always quarreled with his family.The more no one listens to him, no one believes him, the more forcefully he will argue back.

Until one day, he finally realized that he had hurt Aunt Ren,

Aunt Ren and Mrs. Luo grew up together, but this time they are completely on his side.Aunt Ren spoke for him everywhere, refuting the friends who were so close at the beginning, and finally got completely deadlocked, and the decades-old relationship was broken like that.

He was killed by someone...he couldn't remember his name, but it should be Aunt Ren's son.

He was limping on one leg, and was quietly led upstairs by Aunt Ren's son, and saw Aunt Ren sitting alone in the room, sorting out the photos that Mrs. Luo had torn up.

After that, Luo Chi never made trouble again.

He stopped trying to refute it, and he stopped trying to make it clear to everyone...he told himself it was okay.

this is nothing.

He is a masculine man with great flames, and he is not sad because of this.

But Aunt Ren didn't know how she found out about it.

Aunt Ren sat by his bed that day, hugged him tightly, choked up and kept saying sorry to him, Huo Miao, sorry.

Aunt Ren's hands were so cold, he was terrified, and hugged Aunt Ren back hard, trying to share the temperature from his chest, then lowered his head and breathed on Aunt Ren to cover his hands.

Aunt Ren just asked him what to do when he was sad.

Mr. Shadow also asks him this question now, which shows that the answer is very important.

Aunt Ren taught him, but he forgot.

After Aunt Ren passed away, this trick was not easy to use.

But he still remembers, of course he still remembers, he will never forget everything Aunt Ren taught him.He just needs to think, needs to go back into the thick fog, and find out the answer...

Luo Chi held Ming Weiting's wrist.

His hands were trembling, and his fingers couldn't even use much strength. It took a long time before his stiff arms were gently retracted.

Ming Weiting was keenly aware of that little force, and immediately followed him and raised his hand.

Luo Chi took his hand, struggling to reach his chest.

... What should I do when I am sad?

Ming Weiting followed the hand and gradually raised his gaze.

He completely handed over the dominance to Luo Chi, as long as Luo Chi moved his fingers a little, he would immediately make up the corresponding strength.

Luo Chi sat in front of him, his brows still blank, and he just moved according to the force in his memory.

Luo Chi pulled his hand all the way to his chest.

Ming Weiting followed him, and placed his palm on Luo Chi's cold left chest through the throbbing chest ribs under the soft cloth, pressing firmly bit by bit.

The heart struggled in his chest, banging feebly against his hand.

"...It hurts." Luo Chi said, "It hurts so much."
