They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

Mr. Ming didn't make a sound immediately, nor did he move.

Luo Chi waited for a while, raised his hand, and tapped twice on his chest like knocking on a door.

Ming Weiting held his hand and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute"

Luo Chi was curious: "What are you waiting for?"

"I can't immediately hug you and stand up and run." Ming Weiting said, "Your head will hurt."

Luo Chi was super surprised: "Mr. Ming will also stand up and run as soon as he hugs someone?"

Ming Weiting responded, and leaned his shoulders to cover the wind from the shade of the reef.

Last night, Luo Chi held his shirt after falling asleep.But Luo Chi's right hand has no strength, and with a slight movement, the shirt will slip out from between his twisted fingers.

Ming Weiting sat by the bed and had a rare dream.

It was a very short dream, from falling into the dream to waking up, it seemed that it only took a few minutes.

In the dream, he went back to the boat ten years ago and saw the bonfire on the shore.

Thinking every day, dreaming at night.Ming Weiting really thought about it many times, if he got off the boat at that time, what might happen later.

Most of this thinking goes nowhere.At that time, he didn't know anything about guitar and painting, and he was not good at describing everything he knew. If he took the liberty to knock on the door directly, most of what he said would be blasted out by Aunt Ren holding a broom.

So in that dream, he stepped off the boat, hugged Luo Chi and ran away.

Of course Mr. Ming couldn't do such a thing. Fortunately, he was not Mr. Ming at that time, and it was just a dream.

Luo Chi's ability to adapt is very strong, and he shouldn't be afraid to run away if he is picked up suddenly.Luo Chi in the dream was interested in what he said, waved his hand and asked for leave from Aunt Ren on the distant shore, and went out to sea with him for a week.

He taught Luo Chi to dive and showed him the secrets of the seabed he discovered.Stalactites formed over tens of millions of years stand in deep caves, schools of fish walk around them, and comb jellies drift by the water, shining a soft violet light.

Luo Chi was held by his right hand, looking at the underwater world and the stars in the sky.Those pictures are painted on the canvas and become more magical and wonderful. Luo Chi sits on the side of the boat and plays the guitar, accompanied by the wind and waves.

……

It's an emotion that's hard to articulate, and totally unnecessary.

Ming Weiting sat for a long time after waking up, looking at Luo Chi in his dream, just thinking that he should really start learning and training early.

He should hold Luo Chi and run away.

Ming Weiting didn't hold his arms tightly.No matter how much effort he used to tighten his arm, he used as much effort to control it so as not to disturb Luo Chi who had just had a headache, and he lowered his head after a long time.

Ming Weiting lowered his head, he hugged Luo Chi's head and neck, and looked at Luo Chi seriously.

Luo Chi leaned on his arm, apparently not worried about his answer at all, and almost fell asleep while waiting.

Ming Weiting said softly, "Okay."

Luo Chi slowly opened one eye, deliberately prolonging his voice: "What's the matter?"

Seeing Luo Chi's actions, Ming Weiting even smiled from the bottom of his eyes, and lowered his head to touch his forehead: "I'll give you my surname."

Luo Chi just wanted to borrow it, and he didn't have to be so generous if he wanted to be modest, but he was immediately pulled into his arms by Ming Weiting, and he got up slowly while controlling his strength.

At this time, Luo Chi realized that he really should have thought just now.

Ming Weiting's movements have been slowed down to the slowest, but Luo Chi's body and mind are too relaxed now, and he can hardly bear the pain. The red hot iron paste in his head that has just calmed down is stirred, and a few golden stars float in front of his eyes .

If Mr. Shadow had just picked him up and ran away, he would probably have passed out on the spot for Mr. Shadow to see.

Luo Chi thought about that scene, felt amused and apologetic, and slowly grabbed Ming Weiting's sleeve: "I'm sorry, I'll get better soon."

"I'm sick, how can I be sorry." Ming Weiting let him lean on his shoulder, "You didn't want to be sick yourself."

Luo Chi was stunned for a while, then closed his eyes, trying to get rid of the heat that surged up in his eyes for some unknown reason.

He leaned back completely relaxed, quietly leaned on the shoulder in front of him, and exhaled very lightly and slowly.

Ming Weiting hugged him, walked to the beach chair, and let Luo Chi lie down comfortably with light movements.

There is no shelter from the reef, but as time goes by, the sky becomes gentle, and parasols are placed again.Luo Chi just got through a headache, listening to the sound of the tide here, basking in the sun with peace of mind will feel much better.

Luo Chi was lying on the beach chair, the sun was a little dazzling, he instinctively tilted his head slightly, his eyes were covered by his palms.

Ming Weiting covered his eyes, and helped him arrange the air cushion on the beach chair with one hand: "Huomiao."

The two of them already had such a tacit understanding, and Luo Chi knew what he wanted to ask without waiting for the next sentence: "Aunt Ren gave it to me, it's a nickname."

"'Chi' was also created by my aunt. Aunt Ren was abroad at that time, and she was very happy when she heard that I was born. She specially discussed my name with them and sent me many gifts."

Luo Chi said slowly: "My aunt only found out about my return after she returned to China."

He never talked about these things, but today he suddenly took the initiative to talk about it, Ming Weiting knew what he was thinking, and sat aside to listen attentively.

No matter how careful and detailed the operation plan is, there will always be a chance of accidents. Even the best team of experts cannot guarantee how much Luo Chi will remember after the operation.

If Luo Chi really doesn't remember anything, then Ming Weiting will remember it for him.

Luo Chi still remembers Aunt Ren very well, and he will talk about it wherever he thinks of it.He remembered that he had just been brought back from the hospital, and he always liked to stay bored in the room and never go out. Later, he was pulled out by Aunt Ren and stayed with Aunt Ren to bask in the sun on the beach.

"Actually, it was my aunt who accompanied me to bask in the sun." Luo Chi remembered what happened at that time, pursed his lips and smiled, "I fell asleep as soon as I lay down."

"When I woke up, my aunt hugged me, the moon came out, and the sea was very bright."

Luo Chi said softly: "At that time, I was thinking, how could it be so good, it must be a dream."

Ming Weiting lowered his head.Luo Chi's eyelashes trembled slightly in his palm, Ming Weiting didn't move his hand away, and slowly wiped away the overflowing water vapor with his other hand.

He roughly knew the whole story of this matter, and it was far from easy as Luo Chi said.

Mrs. Ren was basically abroad in the early years, so she got acquainted with the heads of those multinational corporations.When she returned to China, Luo Chi was already five years old, one big and one young fell in love with each other immediately, those days Mrs. Ren invited Luo Chi to her house as a guest.

Later Luo Chi disappeared, and Mrs. Ren tried her best to find him for three years.But this kind of thing is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. The chances of finding it are very slim. It should be a great fortune to return the lost child.

But the family didn't tell anyone about Luo Chi's return, and even just threw Luo Chi in the hospital.

Mrs. Ren was abroad, and the news was not clear enough. When she came back to China and found out about this, Luo Chi had already been in the hospital alone for more than half a month.

Being taken home by Mrs. Ren to recuperate, Luo Chi didn't dare to sleep in an unfamiliar place, fearing that he would lose control and hurt others when he woke up, so he hid under the bed and took a nap for several nights before he was brought to cover him. Mrs. Ren of the quilt found out about it.

That night, Luo Chi still accidentally hurt Aunt Ren.

He locked himself in the room overnight, and during the next day, Mrs. Ren found the wound medicine and the letter at the door.

When ten-year-old Luo Chi was dug out of his room by Aunt Ren, he was actually packing his luggage and preparing to leave quietly.

……

Having not slept well for too many days, Luo Chi couldn't stand still when he was dragged to the beach by Aunt Ren, and almost lost consciousness as soon as he lay down.

The beach is not like a room, there is no cold and hard place, no closed space.There was no one around, only the sound of wind and waves, Luo Chi finally had his first good night's sleep in three years.

He slept all day, and when he woke up, he was in Aunt Ren's arms.

The preoccupied and stable shell weathered and peeled off without warning, Luo Chi was held by Aunt Ren and told him, "It hurts so much".

Luo Chi stumbled and repeated over and over again, and finally struggled to curl up desperately, shivering and hid in his aunt's arms, crying heartbreakingly until he couldn't make a sound.

"...Then Auntie and I both caught a cold."

Under the palm of Mr. Shadow, Luo Chi vented his anger, sniffed his nose in vain, and coughed twice with the corner of his mouth raised.

He continued to recall the following plot: "The two of us each have a pack of paper tofu, and each of us has a bowl of banlangen. Auntie put me on her lap, touched the bowl with me and said 'go one'."

Ming Weiting nodded: "Uncle Lu and I are always curious that you really didn't grow into a pirate with Auntie's teaching method."

Luo Chi laughed so hard that he almost fell off the beach chair.

Ming Weiting hugged him in time, and simply didn't help the chair that fell lightly, and let Luo Chi lie on him: "'Chi' and 'Huo Miao' both sound good."

It was all started by my aunt, of course Luo Chi raised his head proudly: "That is."

Ming Weiting stroked his hair, pondered for a moment, and chose a word: "Ming Squirrel."

Luo Chi opened his eyes and looked at him.

Both of them didn't take it seriously, Ming Weiting smiled even more, and deliberately circled slowly: "Ming guitar, Ming wandering, Ming debt."

Luo Chi couldn't hold back the question in surprise, he coughed and laughed at the same time, his stomach hurt from laughing: "I understand the black heart creditor."

On his side, he made a serious accusation, but he didn't expect that there was actually an IOU placed in front of his eyes, and he even handed over the pen.

Luo Chi looked at the IOU, rubbed his eyes in astonishment, and raised his head in disbelief.

Ming Lu walked over at some point, put down a plate of cut fruits with a smile, put the IOUs on the tray, and put the signature pen in front of Luo Chi.

"It is true that I have already prepared the IOU." Ming Weiting rubbed his hair, put a piece of watermelon into his mouth, "I want to coax you to sign it."

As soon as Luo Chi was about to speak, he bit into the watermelon first, the cold and sweet juice instantly moistened his smoky dry throat, and he couldn't help but take a comfortable breath.

……

But Luo Chi hadn't forgotten what he wanted to say, he swallowed the watermelon with a thud: "Thank you Uncle Lu."

Ming Weiting probably did it on purpose, before he finished his last word, he had already followed up: "Thank you, Uncle Lu."

Ming Lu vaguely knew what the two were competing for, and shook his head with a smile: "You're welcome, we'll be a family from now on."

He is nearly seventy years old, although he is still healthy and steady, but he does not bend over like the chief executive of the Ming family, which shows the unique kindness of the elders.

Ming Lu bent down and lightly stroked Luo Chi's hair: "I like flames too."

Holding Luo Chi in his arms, Ming Weiting almost felt that the big flame that was definitely more than five and a half years old was scalding from the top of his head, red and stiff, and suddenly he was so obedient that he couldn't even let go of his hands and feet.

Minglu has been thanked more than a dozen times in the past two days, and sneezed no less than a dozen times. Before Luo Chi realized that he wanted to say "thank you", and the husband repeated the booing, he packed up his things and walked away vigorously.

Luo Chi waited for a few minutes before finally regaining consciousness, and found that Uncle Lu had disappeared, regretting so much that he rubbed his head hard.

"It doesn't matter." Ming Weiting held his hand, "There are still many opportunities in the future."

Luo Chi was extremely annoyed, and buried himself in his pockets looking for candy, but when he came out today, he changed his clothes, and there was not even half a candy.

Ming Weiting conjured a peach-flavored candy and placed it on the beach not far in front of him.

Luo Chi saw it through at a glance: "Is there a trap?"

"Yes." Mr. Ming admitted frankly, "coaxed you to sign the IOU."

Luo Chi had originally prepared to sign, and immediately took the pen.

Not to mention this IOU - if it wasn't for the fact that the debtor took the initiative to mention this, it was too unreasonable, and he even wanted to coax Mr. Shadow into not being so disciplined, and let him pay more debts during this time.

With such a good timing, the unscrupulous creditor should let him sign fifty IOUs first, so that he can pay back slowly after the operation in the future.

The more Luo Chi thought about it, the more reasonable he became, he made up his mind to look back for an opportunity, bit off the cap of his pen, and held the signature pen in his left hand.

After signing autographs for lucky fans last time, he has been practicing writing flames with his left hand.Considering the wild cursive signatures on the market now, if you don't know the details and just read the words, you can even appreciate a bit of ethereal artistic sense.

Luo Chi was full of confidence, and was about to sign it in one go, but Ming Weiting grabbed the left hand holding the pen.

Luo Chi blinked his eyes and looked up.

"To ask."

Ming Weiting taught him slowly: "Is this considered coaxing?"

"Is this considered coaxing?" Luo Chi repeated, and he was surprised at first, "Isn't this considered coaxing?"

From his point of view, this is obviously trying to coax him to heaven.

Yesterday's Luo Chi thought yesterday was the happiest day, but today he realized that he was completely sloppy. He is happier today than yesterday.

I don't know where Mr. Ying learned the secrets of chasing stars with such profound skills recently.

Ming Weiting still held his hand, looked at him silently for a while, showed a helpless smile, raised his hand and tapped on his forehead: "You can't sign the flame."

"This is an IOU and has legal effect."

Ming Weiting said, "You must write your real name by hand."

Luo Chi made a few secrets, and he didn't practice his real name at all, so he raised his head in astonishment: "That's bad."

"Too bad." Ming Weiting nodded, "What should I do?"

Holding the pen, Luo Chi lowered his head to look at the IOU.

Before he could react, his body was already surrounded by falling shadows, Ming Weiting held his left hand, and accompanied him to drop the tip of the pen on the paper.

... Such poses and scenes are actually somewhat strange.

A strong and steady arm encircled him from behind, not only allowing him to sit on his back, but also supporting his hand.

The warmth seemed to permeate everywhere.

The sky is not yet dark, the blue is starting to turn darker, and the warm yellow lights are dotted, reflecting in the water.

Mr. Shadow held his hand, shadow on top of his.

……

"Huomiao." Ming Weiting asked softly, "When do you want to change your name?"

Luo Chi's ears turned red involuntarily, he collected himself, and thought carefully: "Surgery... let's do it, once the surgery is over, it will be new."

The first name was given by Aunt Ren, and the surname came from Mr. Shadow.

After the operation, he made a clean break with the past, and greeted the name with a brand new self.

The myth could have turned out to be true as well.

Luo Chi thought, it turned out that there was such a possibility, he removed the bones and cut the flesh, and went to the new world.

A new world he had never seen before, with complete freedom and an infinitely exciting future.

Ming Weiting nodded: "Okay."

He held Luo Chi's hand, leaned his shoulders down, and explained in Luo Chi's ear: "The IOU will also take effect at that time - relax, follow me."

Only then did Luo Chi realize that he was holding the pen too tightly, so he quickly meditated to calm down, took several deep breaths, and let the whole shoulder and left hand loosen little by little.

Ming Weiting took him to make the first deal.

... Everything seemed to suddenly quiet down at this moment.

Or Luo Chi couldn't hear the voice again.

This time it wasn't because of tinnitus, he just seemed to have forgotten to listen - because all his attention seemed to be completely focused on the signature pen in his hand.

They had been chatting outside for the whole afternoon, the sky was getting darker inch by inch, and the writing on the paper was a little unclear.

But that's okay, there's Mr. Shadow.

The way he holds the pen is actually very non-standard, but it doesn't matter, there is Mr. Shadow.

He hasn't been practicing calligraphy with his left hand for a long time, and he can cover it with wild cursive when he writes "flame", but it's inevitable that he will get fluttering when he writes other characters... But it doesn't matter, there is Mr. Shadow.

His chest rose and fell slightly, he could hardly feel anything around him, he just focused on the pen in his hand with his breath held.

Ming Weiting held his hand, and together with him wrote down the name slowly, neatly, finishing the last stroke.

He didn't know how long he looked at the name, but it was so long that he suddenly felt pain in his eyes, and then realized that it was because of the light sent by the water surface, so he raised his head subconsciously.

At that moment, the sun jumped into the water, and the fire-like dazzling red sprinkled the entire sea surface, and the burning clouds hung down from the sky, and the world seemed to be burning.

The light is so bright that the words on the paper are clearly legible.

Bright.
