[Ode to Joy] My surname is Tan, my ancestor's original surname is Ming

"Tan Zongming, I can't forgive myself." Her voice was weak and tired, as if she had been trekking in the dark for decades, "Even if you forgive me, I can't forgive myself."

"You don't need to forgive yourself." Tan Zongming walked to the edge of the railing and stood next to her, "No one will forgive Wang Manchun, she deserves to die, so she died under the guns of Minglou and Mingtai, and will never You may come back to life. And you are Fan Shengmei—well, even if you are Wang Manchun, you are still living in this century, living in Ode to Joy, working in Park Hyatt, the new Wang Manchun I know. I must put you and There is only one reason why the female devil got involved. You accidentally forced all her consciousness and memory. It’s not your fault. Granny Meng neglected her duty and forgot to drink Po Meng soup for you, or she wasn’t professional enough, The quality of the product is not good enough. When I die, I will complain to her. But you can’t worry, I will live to be at least 80 years old, and you have to wait 40 years.”

He spoke innocently like a child and earnestly like a priest. Wang Manchun couldn't help showing a smile on his empty and confused face. After the ridiculousness, it was contrasted with more intense sadness, "Tan Zongming, you are so partial, I bear it." Sorry."

Because I like you, no matter how much love and tolerance are taken for granted, where does the word partiality come from?

But he didn't dare to say that, she didn't want to accept his feelings, so he couldn't put more weight on her at this time, "People's hearts are inherently biased, and the criminal law doesn't demand righteousness and killing relatives, let alone me as a mortal? Xiaomei , you are dead, Wang Manchun's crimes will not disappear from history, no one even knows that there was a girl who endured so much pain and pressure for her, and what you left to this world is only the sadness of us people. Only when you live well can you see whether this country and this society have become more beautiful and better than before. Only then can you have the opportunity to participate in all this, so that so many people who died in the war and the price they paid will not be wasted. "

Wang Manchun's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and his eyes fell on his face. The two of them looked at each other through the vast rain curtain. Although they were only a short distance away, they seemed to lie across thousands of rivers and mountains.

"Tan Zongming, what do you know, maybe if I jump off, I won't die at all." Wang Manchun smiled shyly, "As it is now, change your identity and continue this kind of life...Maybe this is the real truth God gave Wang Manchun. punishment..."

"It's terrible if you can't die!" Tan Zongming followed her words, "I only injured one knee, and when the weather changes, I feel that life is worse than death, and I didn't die after jumping from here... I dare not even think about it." .”

"Don't think about it, on the 24th floor, there is no luck for you to jump."

His back was a little chilled by her tone, and he simply leaned his body against the railing, "Oh, speaking of knees, it's raining so hard, and my knees seem to be hurting again..."

Wang Manchun looked at him coldly.

"It's not very effective to take a Yao bath recently..."

"Tan Zongming, stop pretending. Don't you just want to sympathize with me and want me to go back?"

He put away his grinning expression, straightened up, and looked at her calmly and firmly, "Yes, I want you to come back. If you don't come back, I will turn over to accompany you."

"The time you turn over is enough for me to jump down three times."

Tan Zongming shifted his gaze to the railing. It is not easy to turn over the two-meter-high fence with dense holes, and it is even dangerous. After all, the roof outside the railing is only a thin three feet wide.Early in the morning, he hinted that Lizi had gone to the police. He didn't know where the police were, and he wasn't sure if there was any arrangement downstairs, but now, he had no choice.

"I flip over, you jump down, and I can't wash myself off even if I jump into the Yellow River." He raised his hand to touch the railing, looking for a suitable foothold.

"Don't move!" Wang Manchun yelled.

"You'd better come back now, lest I spend the rest of my life in prison."

"Tell you not to move!"

"In case I accidentally fall down, even a ghost will never let you go."

"Tan Zongming, don't force me!"

"Look at who is forcing whom now?!"

"Okay, Tan Zongming, I surrender!" Wang Manchun wiped off the rain or tears on his face, waved at him and shouted, "Stand still! I'll go back!"

"Wait a minute!" Tan Zongming yelled while looking back for tools, "I'm looking for a rope, you tie it on first and then climb..."

However, Wang Manchun returned just as fast as she left. As soon as Tan Zongming finished speaking, she had already jumped up the fence with all her strength, raised her waist and legs, and was about to fall off the side of the railing.

Unexpectedly, the upper edge of the iron fence became extremely wet and slippery in the rain. Wang Manchun didn't clenched his hand tightly, slipped off in an instant, and fell straight to the ground.At that time, Tan Zongming was rushing to pick her up, when Wang Manchun was suddenly knocked down, and the two hit the ground together.In an instant, he only had time to put his arm on her head, and then he fell on top of her.

There was a numbness in the arm at first, and then the pain made gold stars appear in front of his eyes.But touching the ground meant safety. The feeling of powerlessness after extreme tension and sudden relaxation crushed him instantly. The pain in his arm was nothing. He felt that he was about to collapse.

"Tan Zongming..." Her hoarse and weak voice came from her ear.

Tan Zongming got up a little bit, no longer pressed her down, but still held her under his body, and looked at her face bit by bit.It was only at this time that he was really afraid, and he couldn't imagine what would happen to him if she really jumped off.Angry, sad, and exhausted, he suddenly felt his eyes a little hot and sour.

But all the resentment and anger faded away the second she reached out to caress his cheek.

"Tan Zongming." She sighed softly, her palm pressed against his skin, and the temperature was only a little higher than that of rainwater.Water flowed continuously from the corners of her eyes, he didn't know if it was rain or tears, and he didn't know if Tan Zongming expressed apology or gratitude or something else, but she was still alive, intact, with soft And heat, with his shadow in his eyes, isn't that enough, what else do you dare to hope for, he is already too lucky.Tan Zongming took a deep breath, leaned over and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"You're scaring me to death." He closed his eyes, and his long breath brushed her ears.

"I'm scared too," she whispered, her cheek buried in the crescent of his neck.

After a while, he added, "I'm not so afraid now."

because of you.

Tan Zongming smiled, "Anyway, you scared me, so I will apply for spiritual compensation."

Wang Manchun raised her head, at first she didn't understand why, and then she seemed to understand something in his eyes that locked her lips tightly.

"Wait--"

Before it was too late, he lowered his head, and a light kiss quietly landed on the corner of her lips.

If you want to repay your kindness, let's repay you with kindness. You are not a gentleman in the first place. She always treats him like a child, so he will be a real villain once.He was even ready for another slap.

But this time Wang Manchun was very quiet, although the quietness had long been betrayed by her shortness of breath and the stiff corners of her mouth, she still acquiesced.His kiss was like the touch of a dragonfly on water, and he retreated at the first touch, leaving only the aftertaste of infinite pity and love. It took a long time for her to open her eyes, and she didn't dare to meet his eyes. She only looked around in a hurry, and when she reached the entrance of the rooftop Dodge embarrassment.

There were too many people, Xiao Zheng, Li Zi, the property manager, the policeman, Tan Zongming's assistant, and the neighbors who kept poking around and looking around...all crowded under the canopy at the entrance of the roof, staring at them on the ground with piercing eyes, A look of disappointment of "why don't you kiss for a while longer".

Compared with Wang Manchun, Tan Zongming is much more composed.He rubbed his arms and got up, took the umbrella handed by his assistant, and carried Wang Manchun down the stairs through the passage that everyone automatically gave way to, "I'll leave the rest to you."

Lizi woke up like a dream, and hurried to catch up with the assistant, "Mr. Tan! Mr. Tan!..."

Tan Zongming's chaotic brain recovered slightly, "By the way, Ms. Lizi seems to have something to tell me? It's too late today and it's inconvenient. How about I call you tomorrow?"

What else could she say in the face of the drowned two?Lizi nodded subconsciously, staring at them as they disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Wang Manchun fell from the fence, everyone "ah—", Tan Zongming bowed his head and kissed her, everyone "wow—", a roller coaster-like plot was staged on the 24th floor rooftop.But only Lizi knew that what really hit her was not any thrilling moment, or any romantic picture, but Tan Zongming's focused and gentle smile when he stared at Wang Manchun.

Enough to brighten the smile of the whole rainy night.

(The author couldn't help but interject, here should be the first episode of The Pretender at 26 minutes and 30 seconds to start Ming Zhang's signature word laugh^_^)

Back at 2202, Wang Manchun went to take a hot bath, and Tan Zongming also changed into the clothes his assistant had just bought, and sent his assistant to send Lizi back to the hotel. The crowd dispersed, and there were only the two of them left on the 22nd floor.Tan Zongming sat on the sofa thinking about it and announced, "I'm not leaving tonight."

"Where do you sleep if you don't go?"

"Sofa."

"It's too small for you to sleep well."

"No problem, it can be overcome."

"Tan Zongming, if I come down, I won't go up again. You don't have to look at me."

"I have to watch you."

The two stared at each other for a while, Wang Manchun was discouraged, "This is a shared house, I can't stay with you, so you can stay with me."

"..."

"I'm going to your house, you look at me, okay?"

Perfect!The simple, rough, sharp and crisp girl he knew was back.Tan Zongming was very happy to help her pack her things, took her hand downstairs, stuffed her into the car, and took her back to his mansion in Jiujiantang, Pudong. On the way, he did not forget to pack two of her favorite finger suckers Original Chicken.

It wasn't until Wang Manchun slept soundly in the guest room on the second floor under the arrangement of the old housekeeper, Aunt Shun, that he finally had the time and mood to go back to his study, sort out the thrilling experience of the night, and recall the memories of the time he met her from the beginning. Bit by bit.

After smoking a full half pack of cigarettes, he finally made up his mind to dial the phone number on the other side of the ocean.

"Tan, don't tell me you're in New York."

"I am in Shanghai."

"Call me at this time? Is something wrong with Andy?"

"No, Andy's fine. It's me—"

"You? Don't you always boast that you have a strong heart, so you can give psychological counseling to a counselor?"

"It's not me!" Although he was in the absolute privacy of his personal space, he couldn't help lowering his voice, "Henry, I have a friend, and I suspect that she has...a dual personality."
