Don't say you don't know me

Chapter 21

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you won't be here today?"

In the evening, when he finally reached the deserted river, Shang Luo looked at the people around him and asked.

"After finishing the company's affairs, I just wanted to come and see you."

"Are you injured?" Shang Luo caught a glimpse of some cuts on Leng Nan's clothes, and there were spots of blood smudged from the cuts of his light blue shirt, so he carefully Looking at Leng Nan's whole body, he found that there were also some cuts on his suit pants.

"Did you get scratched when you went to find me just now?" Shang Luo asked with concern.

Leng Nan looked down at her body and said with a faint smile, "It's nothing, it's just some minor injuries."

"Then we need to treat the wound. I don't know if the plants on the mountain are poisonous, so we need to deal with it in time." Shang Luo looked around and saw that the lights in the villa had been turned on, "Isn't this villa your home? Is there someone taking care of it? Let's go in and treat the wound first, and then go back to the city."

"No, I'm fine, let's go back and apply some medicine."

"It's better to go in and rinse first."

Seeing Shang Luo's insistence, Leng Nan hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

Leng Nan made a call, and soon a middle-aged woman came out and opened the door.The heavy varnished iron door was opened little by little, making some creaking noises, perhaps it was really a long time since no one had been there.

The woman who opened the door bowed to Leng Nan respectfully and greeted Leng Nan. When she got up and saw Shang Luo, her eyes flashed with astonishment, and her face changed slightly, but she quickly lowered her head and stepped aside.

Shang Luo looked at the woman with some doubts. The woman seemed to deliberately avoid his gaze, and she retreated even further.

The courtyard is very deep, and there are only two short rows of hedges on both sides of the corridor. The corridor seems to be paved with cobblestones, and there is a massage feeling when stepping on it.The area from the hedge to the courtyard wall is almost all lawn, and there are no decorations such as flower beds. There is only a swing near the villa, which makes the entire yard look a little empty.

The style of the villa is also a little old, but it is well preserved. There is no sign of peeling off the outer wall, and the overall color is also a bit dark ancient blue. In the night that has fallen, it looks a little gloomy.

"Have I been here before?" Shang Luo suddenly said softly, slowly raised his head, and looked at Leng Nan.

Leng Nan's footsteps paused, and after a few seconds, she turned around and looked at Shang Luo calmly, "Have you been here before?" There was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and a trace of surprise?

After staring in silence for a long time, Shang Luo smiled slightly, "How is it possible? I was joking." Then he walked towards the house with the lights on.

Leng Nan looked at Shang Luo's back, and felt a bit of sadness in her heart.If you remember, I'd rather suffer the consequences.

With a bitter smile, he followed and walked over.

Beside the sink, Shang Luo slowly helped Leng Nan roll up his sleeves. There were several deep scratches on Leng Nan's arm, some of which had scabbed over and some were still bleeding. He couldn't help frowning, " Where did you go up the mountain? How could there be so many wounds? I didn’t see any thorns.”

"I didn't go up the path, I ran directly in your direction." Leng Nan said lightly.

"My direction?" Shang Luo wondered, "How do you know my direction?"

Leng Nan's eyes dodged for a moment, and she frowned slightly, "If I said that I installed tracking and positioning software in your mobile phone..."

Shang Luo stared at him for a long time, and Leng Nan felt strangely uncomfortable watching him, so he asked calmly, "When?"

"Before you had an accident in the bar for the first time." Leng Nan didn't continue to avoid his gaze, but looked at Shangluo sincerely. Perhaps this is the best way.

Shang Luo narrowed his eyes, as if recalling it for a while, then raised his head slightly, as if he understood why Leng Nan would show up twice when he had an accident in the bar.

"Aren't you going to explain?"

"I just want to protect you."

Shang Luo was silent for a while, then said with a low smile, "Thank you." He sighed, "Is there a medicine box here?"

"Sir, the medicine box is here." The woman took the medicine box and stood at the door of the bathroom, her expression was very indifferent, and she didn't even show any emotion.

"Okay. Asu, we will stay overnight today. You go and arrange dinner and tidy up the two rooms." Leng Nan said lightly.

"Okay." The woman bowed respectfully and left.

"Stay overnight?" Shang Luo was puzzled, "Aren't you going back?"

"It's a bit late, let's stay overnight and go back tomorrow morning."

Shang Luo carefully treated the wounds for Leng Nan. Some of the wounds were a bit deep, and they looked like they were scratched by thorns, because there were mountains near his grandma’s house. When he went to play when he was a child, his grandma said that there were many thorny thorns. Plant thorns are poisonous and may become infected if left untreated.

And he was accidentally scratched once when he was a child. At first, he just felt a little pain, because he secretly ran to the mountains to play, and got lost and almost couldn't come back. After returning, he didn't dare to tell his grandma about the injury.As a result, after one night, his whole arm was red and swollen, painful and itchy, and he ran to his grandma after being frightened. Grandma pulled out a green plant outside the yard, smashed it up and applied it to his wound. Within two days, the wound It just scabs over.

Shangluo really didn't notice that there were such thorny plants on the mountain, and he expressed his incomprehension that he could hurt himself like this.

His eyes were attracted by a new scar on Leng Nan's arm. The scar was a bit long, and it seemed that the scar should be indistinct. He knew that it was scratched by brother Sheng when he had an accident in the bar, and he felt a little distressed.

Seeing Shang Luo's frown getting tighter, and carefully applying medicine to his wound, Leng Nan smiled slightly, "Because I heard that you were about to cry, I was worried that you were afraid, so I didn't pay attention to that The thorns on the hillside did not feel any pain."

"Who's crying?" Shang Luo's cheeks were blushing, and he said uncomfortably, "I'm just a little panicked. I got lost once in the mountains near my grandma's house when I was a child, and it was just a bit of a shadow."

"Oh? What's going on?" Leng Nan seemed to be a little interested, and seemed to be listening to him very seriously.

"That happened when I was ten years old." After a pause, Shang Luo took care of all Leng Nan's wounds, sat on the sofa, and began to talk quietly, "One day, because my mother was going on a business trip, I had to go back home. I went to my grandma's house, because there are many mountains near my grandma's house, and there are many fruit trees on the mountain, and I can pick fruits to eat. At that time, Xiaoyu was still young, and my grandma didn't allow me to take him out to play, but I was very naughty at that time. At that time, Xiaoyu was locked at home by herself, but she still sneaked out."

"When I went into the mountain, I saw it was fun, so I dared to go further inside, and then I got lost. At that time, I was alone on the mountain, and I couldn't see anyone. I was surrounded by tall trees and long grass. I was very scared, and I could hear a scary sound. At that time, I thought it was some kind of beast, so I ran desperately. The hairs on my body felt like they were blown up. I have never been so deeply afraid. And the trees on the mountain A lot, the light is very dark, I don’t know how long I ran, and I accidentally rolled down from the mountain, but fortunately the mountain is not high, and luckily I saw the house when I rolled down the mountain.”

"I didn't have any serious injuries on my body, but my arm was scratched a few times. When I ran home, my grandma hadn't come back yet, so I secretly changed my clothes. The wound almost festered, so I dared to tell my grandma that I sneaked up the mountain. thing."

"You were really skinny when you were young." Leng Nan said with a faint smile.

Shang Luo rubbed his nose, "So, grandma didn't allow me to go up the mountain. After my mother found out, she didn't allow me to go to grandma's house again."

"Supper and rooms are ready, sir."

A voice sounded lightly from beside him.Shang Luo couldn't help trembling slightly, and couldn't help but glanced at the woman named Asu, but the woman's face was still flat, her eyes were lowered to the ground, and she didn't raise her head from the beginning to the end.

Leng Nan nodded slightly, looked at Shang Luo, "Let's go, go eat first, then take a bath and rest."

The room was on the second floor, and many rooms on the first floor were closed, so I didn't know what was inside. Moreover, in the huge villa, no one was seen except Asu.

"Do you usually come here? Why does it look so deserted?"

After Shang Luo took a shower, he wiped his hair with a towel with one hand. Seeing that Leng Nan was looking at something on his laptop, he also sat down beside him.

"I come here occasionally. There are only two people here to take care of it, Asu, and the other one is the owner of the log cabin you enter during the day." Leng Nan still stared at the screen, watching the news in City A, about Chengzhi Group The news of cooperating with a certain group in City A to develop a new real estate project frowned slightly.

"The owner of the cabin?" Shang Luo was a little surprised.

"He is a man with a lot of stories. He is willing to stay here and help me guard this villa. I will not interfere with his preferences and let him do what he wants to do. He only goes up the mountain occasionally."

"He made everything in the house?"

"Well, he's very talented." Leng Nan smiled, "His dog is usually on the mountain, and people usually don't come here, because the mountains here are Sheng Yu's assets."

"Here, why not develop it? Such a mountainous area, it shouldn't be a bad idea to develop it into a resort, right?"

Leng Nan was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to disturb his quietness, he doesn't like it."

"What?" Shang Luo didn't hear clearly, and asked suspiciously, "Is there any special significance to this villa?"

Leng Nan just sighed softly, did not speak, turned off the laptop, looked up at Shangluo, "Aren't you tired? Go to sleep."

Lying on a strange bed, Shangluo suffered from insomnia, not even sleepy at all. He opened his eyes and looked at the night outside the window. The villa at the foot of the mountain was very quiet, and some bugs woke up from spring sleep, rustling It chirped in a low voice, making this late spring night seem peaceful and comfortable.

There are some things in his heart that he can't understand. He really wants to know the answer, but he is afraid that the answer will not be acceptable to him.I always think of Leng Nan's gentle gaze, his warm embrace, and the anxiety in his eyes when he encounters danger and appears again and again in his mind.And how do you feel about all this?

A new message was sent from the mobile phone, it was Zhang Tong, because he was worried about him, he sent a message to confirm whether he was safe, he replied with a smile, saying that he was fine.

Sighing helplessly, maybe I ate too much for dinner.After tossing and tossing for a long time, Shang Luo still got up. The guest room they lived in was on the second floor. He stood at the escalator and saw that there were only a few dim lights on in the living room on the first floor, and there was no sound.

Leng Nan's room is next door, the door is closed, he should go to bed early, right?Shangluo walked gently to the stairs and walked down the stairs slowly. The living room was very quiet, or in other words, the huge villa was very quiet. There was a small light in every corner, the light was very dim, and there seemed to be a little mystery everywhere.

Walking a few steps along the living room, the kitchen was dark and the door was closed tightly. Shang Luo walked very lightly, because he seemed to see some light coming from a door at the corner.

Approaching quietly, I don't understand why I am attracted, but I just want to walk over involuntarily.

The door was open with a small crack, and there was a small dim light inside, the same as in the living room, and the light was coming out of the crack.Shang Luo approached lightly, his eyes could just see a little of the indoor vision, but he was stunned all of a sudden, is it Leng Nan?

The door was very narrow, and he didn't dare to push it. In his field of vision, Leng Nan was sitting in front of a sketch. He couldn't see the person in the painting clearly, but he could vaguely see the silhouette of a young man. , leaning on an iron swing, holding a book in his hand, seems to be very leisurely.

And Leng Nan's hand was gently hanging in front of the painting, her fingers seemed to want to touch, but she was cautious, as if she was afraid of disturbing the boy in the painting.He could still clearly see the gentle smile in the corner of Leng Nan's eyes, and Shang Luo couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart. Did he see Leng Nan's appearance like this, such gentleness, so it was all for another person?

It turned out that Leng Nan's concern for him was only because of another person?It turned out that what he felt on Leng Nan for more than half a year was just an illusion?Who is Leng Nan looking for in him?Is it the boy in the painting?Who is that boy?

Because, he heard Leng Nan muttering in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but, I really miss you."

His voice was full of sadness, longing, and emotions that Shangluo couldn't understand.I felt a throbbing pain in my heart again, because Leng Nan also said these words to him, and when Leng Nan looked at him, the tenderness in his eyes was not directed at him?The boy in that painting cannot be him, because he has no memory in that painting.

Why does my heart hurt?Knowing that there is always someone in Leng Nan's heart, and when Leng Nan is facing him, all the tender emotions are only for another person?

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that these days, he had been thinking about a question, what kind of feelings did he have for Leng Nan?Is it really an attachment to my brother?However, they are not related by blood, they are not brothers.

So what is it?Although I have never been in love, I have doubted whether I like Xiao Minghe. If I can say that I like Xiao Minghe, what about Leng Nan?

He didn't dare to imagine, he didn't know how he left that door, he walked back to the second floor in a daze, and leaned against the door weakly.It took a long time until he seemed to hear footsteps downstairs, and he crawled onto the bed in a daze, wrapped himself tightly in the cup, wrapped himself around his slightly trembling body, and closed his eyes.

The door was gently pushed open, and he knew that it was Leng Nan who had come in, as if he was already familiar with his smell, as long as he approached, he would know it soon.

Suppressing the bitterness in my heart, I calmly closed my eyes, felt the gentle kiss on the forehead, and Leng Nan's light breath, couldn't help but felt another pain in my heart, did I come to him again to find the lost true love?Since when did I, my double, cooperate so foolishly and willingly?

"This time, I will never lose you again." Leng Nan's voice was very low, gentle, yet firm.

won't lose again?However, that person is not me.

The tears in the corner of the eyes finally fell silently, and I felt a hand gently wipe it away, so gentle.However, the tenderness that was once intoxicated, now understands that everything has nothing to do with him, and his heart hurts even more.

So, it turns out that he likes Leng Nan, not because of his brother's liking, not because of his gratitude for his help every time, but because of liking, liking for a person.

I should have hated you that way for the rest of my life, but with your tenderness and change, I thought I was really the one you wanted to protect, but who is that person in your heart?Who do you think I am?Who is that person that you miss deeply in the years I don't know?

Almost sleepless all night, when he heard the sound of Leng Nan's room door opening in the morning, Shang Luo quickly got up and got dressed, went downstairs without any nostalgia, ignored Leng Nan's smiling face, and went straight to the villa gate go.

Asu sent them to the gate of the villa, his gaze swept across Shang Luo's face, and he quickly stood still, watching Leng Nan and the others get into the car respectfully, until the car was far away, she was still standing at the gate of the villa .

"Is that the child?" A man then walked out of the gate of the villa and stood beside Asu, looking in the direction of the car.

"I really didn't mean it." Asu's voice was filled with guilt, and his eyes were full of sadness.

"This is their way." The man paused, then continued, "Without you, they would have to face other hardships."

For a long time, only two low sighs were heard, disappearing into the morning light.

"Did you sleep well?" Leng Nan looked at Shang Luo who had been indifferent from the rearview mirror, and asked with a smile.

"Oh." Shang Luo responded in a low voice, looking out of the car window all the time, feeling very confused and not knowing how to deal with Leng Nan.

If he just treats him as a brother or an enemy, he can find a good way to deal with it, but at this time, when he faces his heart directly, knowing that he is just a substitute How else can he face it?

"What's wrong with you?" Leng Nan sensed that something was wrong with Shangluo, and asked with some concern.

Shang Luo just closed his eyes silently without answering.I let the pain in my heart spread to my whole body bit by bit, but I couldn't do anything about it.I wanted to hug myself tightly, but I didn't have the strength.
