drowning tide

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm a little surprised."

Yi Huai restrained his excessive emotions, entered the ward and closed the door smoothly.

If you look carefully, Luo Yi is much darker and thinner than the last time I saw him, his outline is getting deeper and deeper, his expression is gloomy and indifferent, and when he is silent, he gives people a great pressure, only his eyes are bright, Yi Huai couldn't help but think, this light was something I had rarely seen before more than ten years ago, it was too bright, not like the high-spirited young man in the old photo, more like a sharpened knife, exhilarated by the sight of blood Wanton.

When it comes to what this person is doing and the complex reasons behind it, these are not incomprehensible things.

"What a surprise, it's more like a shock. I think you want to poke two holes in me."

A bowl of soup was bottomed out, Luo Yi put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, and before he raised his hand, someone handed him the things he wanted later, he didn't look at Yi Huai, pinched the bridge of his nose as if weary, "busy It's been a day, you go home, I just stay here and take care of Mama An."

If you really want to say hard work, it doesn't mean who is hard working, but from Luo Yi's mouth, it seems that he just went out for a long trip and now he is finally home.

"Why is it still not moving?"

It was rare for Yi Huai to disobey his orders, he looked Luo Yi in the eyes - this was not an easy thing, since he was a child he couldn't count the number of times he was defeated by this person's sharp eyes.

It's not that he is not afraid now, he has been afraid of this person for so many years, and the things engraved in his bone marrow are not so easy to change, but he has already pushed open the closed door in the past, and there is no way to stop it.

"I...I have something to tell you."

Luo Yi was willing to look at him this time. There was something close to tenderness hidden in his eyes, but there was nothing when he looked carefully, "Did you hire a nurse?"

"Please."

Yi Huai didn't know why he said this to himself, but answered his question respectfully.

"When will the nurse come?"

"I made an appointment with her at nine o'clock in the evening."

Luo Yi thought for a moment, "If I get home and you are not asleep, I will come to you. Is this enough?"

"Enough, I'll wait for your return."

Luo Yi would not lie about such trivial matters.Yi Huai finally said hello to the silent An Ma and left the ward.

It was Luo Yi's driver who took him back. From the garden, he could see that the light in the living room was on. He opened the door and saw Fei Chuan and Andre, who were having a great time together.

Andre was holding back, it was rare for someone to play with it like this, flapping around with his toy in his mouth, wagging his tail so much that he almost saw a ghost.Of course Fei Chuan would not let it down, patted it on the head, called out good boy, and openly played a game of throwing flying saucers in Luo Yi's living room, with an arrogance that he was not afraid of seeing the mess when his master came back. Stance.

"Are you back? What's for dinner?" Andre ran back biting the flying saucer, Fei Chuan touched it from head to back, and immediately threw the flying saucer out again while it wasn't paying attention.

"I'm not hungry. If you are hungry, just find something to eat."

Yi Huai was too lazy to talk so much nonsense to him, put down the things in his hands, and unbuttoned his shirt wearily, and just unbuttoned two buttons when he heard someone whistling next to him.

I don't know when Fei Chuan was staring at him, and he sighed for a long time when he saw the marks on his neck that had mostly disappeared. It was nothing more than the toothache nonsense of a child growing up.

"The kid has finally grown up, no wonder he always runs outside during this time."

"I've been an adult for so long, I can sleep with whoever I want, you don't need to make such a fuss."

Fei Chuan choked, "What's wrong with you today, you are so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, it's not at all like the you I know."

"Then do you still want to hear it?"

"I don't want to, just shut up, you little bastard." It's still good for Andre, who can't speak human words, Fei Chuan ignored him and continued to tease the dog.

"as you wish."

Yi Huai went upstairs to change into a soft and comfortable T-shirt, and then went downstairs to find that Fei Chuan and Andre were gone, and there was a note on the coffee table, on which Fei Chuan wrote "I'm going out to eat" in his crooked handwriting. words.

He crushed the note and threw it into the trash can, then went about his own business. Unexpectedly, within half an hour, Fei Chuan came back with big bags.

"Come to eat, if I don't take good care of the children, the head of the family might really throw me out when he comes back."

"You..." Don't you really want to be my stepmother?

Yi Huai felt a little disgusted at the thought.He and Fei Chuan have disliked each other since he was a teenager. Fei Chuan used himself as the closest person to Luo Yi to show off his power to him. Once Luo Yi showed a little kindness to him, Fei Chuan would be like an enemy. I was afraid that my status would be lost.

Even so, he still didn't really hate Fei Chuan, because he could tell that when he cared about him, Fei Chuan really cared about him, without any trace of deceit.

He didn't understand it when he was young, but now that he thinks about it, this kind of relationship should be called the house of love and Wu. For Fei Chuan, Luo Yi is his irreplaceable best friend in this life, so everyone around him will be rewarded. his feelings.

"Come on, it'll be cold if you don't eat any more."

A table of food stalls, basically he watched Fei Chuan gorge on beer, Fei Chuan greeted him hypocritically at first, but later he didn't bother to talk to him at all.

How could these two be friends?Yi Huai looked at the wall clock in the corner of his eyes, it was 08:30 now, and there was still an hour or two before Luo Yi's return, he could test Fei Chuan's tone first.

He stood up seemingly inadvertently, locked the door first and then closed the window to prevent someone from getting up and running away later, then sat next to Fei Chuan, and said something casually.

"The old woman you're talking about is Mr. Luo's mother, Mo Xinya. Why did Mo Xinya kill me?"

Fei Chuan took a sip of beer and nearly choked himself to death. He coughed for a long time before recovering, "I didn't hear what you said clearly?"

He tried to play dumb, how could Yi Huai let him succeed - Fei Chuan could still hang up the phone before, but now he can't go anywhere, if he can't ask, he should really reflect on his own problems.

"That night in the hospital, you said that Mo Xinya wanted to kill me, why?"

Fei Chuan's expression was as wonderful as a palette, he swallowed, and said with a guilty conscience, "It's not that your father killed her husband and made her feel like a widow..."

Yi Huai almost laughed out of breath, Fei Chuan's words clearly regarded him as an idiot, "Which dimension are you talking about Mo Xinya? I know this Mo Xinya, Luo Guanying died and the two separated. Some time ago, the next door Gossip magazines are still exposing large-scale photos of her kissing a mixed-race male model, how do you know that she has been a widow for decades?"

Among other things, he suspected that she didn't even know where Luo Guanying was buried. Thinking of this, his thoughts froze for a moment, and he didn't know, didn't know where Luo Guanying was buried.

In the past, he didn't care, but now... I don't know how to say it, did he already know that Luo Guanying is his biological father?

Father is a word that is extremely far away from him. He is not close to Yi Sheng, and he doesn't have much special impression of Luo Guanying. He only remembers that he gave him lucky money.

"It seems to be like this." Fei Chuan rubbed his nose embarrassingly, "This old... oh no, Mo... Aunt Mo's private life is indeed a little messy, but..." He didn't say anything for a long time, but it was true. Looking at the expression on his face, he was very disgusted.

Yi Huai looked at him coldly, "Even if my husband dies, Luo Yi's monthly alimony must not have treated her badly. Why on earth did she dislike me so much that she wanted to kill me?"

"Well, well, you don't know that she has some brain problems... Oh, I remembered, you haven't seen her often, have you? She is so extreme..."

"For the money, am I right?"

If it is not for feelings, then the rest of the answer is very clear.Money, Mo Xinya can get an unimaginably huge amount of money from his death, this is the conclusion he came to.

This answer really shocked Fei Chuan, he didn't speak for a long time, and finally stood up and patted Yi Huai on the shoulder, "I don't know how much you know, but you should ask Luo Yi yourself, maybe he will answer you now This is a matter between you, I can't interfere." He took a few steps, noticed the locked doors and windows, gasped, and shook his head for a long time, "You are really cruel."

"Can you tell the truth from someone like you?"

Fei Chuan laughed loudly, "That's right, sometimes I feel that I am really hateful. Yi Huai, you are a good boy, promise me not to hate him, okay?" After speaking, he went upstairs.

"...How can I still hate it?"

When Fei Chuan's back could no longer be seen, Yi Huai, who was still standing there, spoke weakly at a volume that only he could hear clearly.

How could he still hate it?

·

He waited until one o'clock in the middle of the night for Luo Yi to come back.

Fei Chuan had already gone upstairs to sleep, and now he probably snored for three rounds, leaving him alone in the living room, sitting in the open space after work.Nie Xicheng had something to do tonight, so not only did he not call him, but he was very slow to reply when he sent a message. As time passed, Yi Huai said good night to him and stopped sending any new ones.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, his eyes immediately looked there.

"Why don't you go to bed? You have to go to work today."

It was impossible for Luo Yi not to be surprised when he saw that he was still waiting here, "I won't give you a holiday..."

"Because you said... If you come back and I am still awake, you are willing to talk to me. I have been unable to contact you. I don't know when you will leave again. This may be my last chance."

Luo Yi sat down and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He was about to light it, but he thought of something or gave up. "You know everything?"

The only non-smoker in this family is Yi Huai, his gaze stayed on that cigarette for a moment, "Yes, I know, my mother is cheating on your father, my father... no, he is not my real father , you and I are actually brothers... I know why he betrayed your father."

Knowing all the reasons why he came to this house, knowing that Luo Yi didn't really want to kill him... These things completely overturned all his cognition of himself in the past 20 years.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure out why he had been kept in the dark for so many years, why did Luo Yi hide it from him?

In that case, what were his past fears and hatreds?Does Luo Yi like to see him in pain and fear?

"Why did you hide it from me? I have hated and feared for so many years, and it turned out to be like this..."

For a moment, Yi Huai felt that the person in front of him was very hateful, so hateful that he wanted to pick up his collar and ask loudly why.

"Why do you look like you're about to cry?"

Hearing Luo Yi's words, he wiped the corners of his eyes, but there was no mist on the back of his hand.why is he cryingIs this something to cry about?

"I do not have!"

He is no longer the weak boy he used to be.

Luo Yi was unmoved by his anger and even his collapse.He leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs and changed into a more comfortable position, "Okay, don't get excited, let me help you add a little bit about why your mother cheated. You can't ask about this unless you go to the place where your mother lived before." of."

"What?" This trick really worked, Yi Huai was so surprised that he even forgot everything, and spit out two words in a daze, "...you say it."

"Yi Sheng has been working for my dad for so many years. He has a good reputation. He is fast, accurate and ruthless, and he doesn't talk much nonsense, but he is really not a good man in his private life. Why do I say that, because he fell in love with your mother at first sight and started to stalk your mother." In the end, you raped her while she was out on errands. Your grandparents knew that their daughter Qingyu had been defiled, so instead of thinking about how to protect her, they forced her to marry this rapist. What a ridiculous couple, I want to Daughter, who dares to touch her finger without her consent, I will make him look good."

Luo Yi probably really wanted to smoke because of the pressure, so he picked up the cigarette and put it under his nose to sniff, "It was a marriage of coercion and humiliation from the beginning, if she hadn't met her father, she would have died long ago. "

Yi Huai has never met her grandparents, not even once. The only time she asked her mother where they were, her mother was silent for a long time, "They are dead, all dead, so I don't know where they are."

That's her answer, her parents died the moment they pushed her to the beast that ruined her.

Morally, her cheating was a mistake, but emotionally, he couldn't tell what it was like, and he no longer had even a trace of warmth for the man he had called his father for more than 20 years.

"Did you kill her?" Yi Huai's voice trembled when he asked this question.

What kind of answer did he want to hear, if Luo Yi said yes...how would he deal with himself?

"It's not me. Her death has nothing to do with me."

It's not Luo Yi, he suddenly relaxes, it's not Luo Yi, that's great.

He resisted even more than he thought that her death had something to do with Luo Yi.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Yi Huai closed his eyes, then opened them, "I have someone I like, you told me before, if you have, I must tell you. I have someone I like, and I want to be with him."

"Is it Nie Xicheng?" There was a little smile in Luo Yi's voice.

"It's him."

"I knew it from the first time I saw you. You like that boy so much that you are willing to die for him. To be honest, I don't like your character, so I want to turn it around. Now I don't know if I succeeded. "Luo Yi nodded his chest, "I have spent a lot of effort on you, and these are not fake. Remember, you can be with him, but you can't just give up your life for him. I I'm not negotiating terms with you, I'm giving you an ultimatum, this is the only condition I promise you to be together."

Yi Huai had vaguely known that there was something wrong with his character since a long time ago, and Luo Yi must have seen this too.

"What's your answer?"

"I..." Yi Huai hesitated, "I will try my best."

"Your life is very valuable."

Luo Yi snorted, "You don't know where your father is buried, do you?"

The previous question was suddenly raised, and Yi Huai answered blankly, "I don't know."

"When these things are over, I will take you to see him. He has never heard you call him dad in his whole life. It's really pitiful when you think about it."

This is the first time Luo Yi mentions what he is doing, and the person he is dealing with, Yi Huai, also knows, as for why...

"Is there anything I can do?" He asked the question even knowing he would be rejected.

Luo Yi's answer was exactly as he expected, "No need, this is between me and him, don't interfere."

"Ok."

It's time for him to go back to the room, "Then I'll go first..."

Halfway through he heard someone talking behind him.

"I'll ask again, do you have anything else to say to me?"

What else does Luo Yi want to hear?Is there anything he must say to Luo Yi?

Is it...?

At this moment, he was suddenly blessed, and said the answer uncertainly, "...brother."

"Ah."

Although it was very weak, Luo Yi responded to him.

He held the handrail of the stairs and glanced back. Luo Yi was still sitting where he had been before, his figure gradually blending into the surrounding night.

Sensing the look in his eyes, Luo Yi raised his head, and waved his hand as if to drive him away, telling him not to get in the way and disappear quickly.

Twelve years and four months after he lost his mother, he has blood again.
