Chapter 15 First Encounter
Chapter 15 First Encounter
Should have known, He Jingnian thought.I should have known that my expectations, no matter how small, would be unfulfilled.
He didn't expect Yuan Cisheng to treat him tenderly, but why Yuan Cisheng didn't even bother to give him a little warmth.
He didn't want to hug himself, but he bullied himself viciously.Every time he was ashamed to be looked at by those inorganic green eyes, he covered his face and eyes with his hands, and he even pulled his hands away forcefully, forcing himself to move clumsily.
He Jingnian curled up in the darkness alone, his heart ached, as if it was about to burst.But who made him hug his own moon because he couldn't hold back the momentary greed.
If that night, there was no flash of lightning to illuminate those eyes, or if he could resist desperately instead of compromise, maybe everything would not be what it is now.
Subconsciously, he put his hand under the pillow, but there was nothing there.Yes, He Jingnian suddenly remembered that the Walkman was no longer there.
It doesn't matter, now that things have happened, I don't have the face to touch it anymore.
On an autumn night, the wind blows the trees outside the window, shadows flickering.
He Jingnian was terrified of such a night, he closed his eyes and dared not open them, only sleep could save him.
In his dream, he dreamed of the past, returning to the day when he first met the young master.
After his mother died, he was sent to an orphanage.Life in the orphanage is relatively poor, and the children can only eat some delicious food during festivals.And the most anticipated is Christmas.
On that day, they had roast turkey and cake to eat, and only then did the dusty orphanage shine.
He also likes Christmas, especially the Christmas tree in the middle of the hall.Actually, the trees were hung with cheap ornaments, but he thought they were beautiful, shining like gems.
Later, he met the real gem.
At the age of 11, the orphanage received a large amount of sponsorship.The dean said that the funder is the wife of the chairman of Shengheng Jewelry Group. She often does charity all over the country to support those in need.
On Christmas Eve, the dean led them to wait by the gate to welcome the distinguished guests.Not long after, a car stopped outside the iron gate, and a lady came out leading a boy.
For a moment, his eyes seemed to be illuminated by fireworks.How can there be such a good-looking person in the world?The face is so beautiful, and the clothes are so beautiful, just like those depicted in fairy tale books.
"Dear Liao Xia, shall we spend the Christmas holiday here this year?" The lady stroked the boy's shoulders and smiled lovingly, "Look, there are many children of your age here, I believe you will be able to make friends with him." to many friends."
Hearing what his mother said, the boy smiled shyly at them, and politely and gentlemanly took off his Cossack cap, "Happy Christmas Eve."
At night, the children kept discussing the young master who came from afar.Is he Chinese or a foreigner?He obviously looks like a foreigner, but he can speak Chinese, with a round accent and standard pronunciation.
Everyone was arguing in full swing, only he didn't participate in the discussion, hid in the bed, and opened the picture album with a flashlight.
It was exactly the same, he thought.The young master is the peacock prince in the story, as beautiful as a flower.Those eyes reminded one of a deep green forest, her curly hair was like sumac leaves in the warm autumn sun, but her skin was as white as snow.
The next day, Mammy asked them to deliver snacks to the young master and his wife, and the children rushed to go.Perhaps because he has always been quiet and well-behaved, the nanny entrusted him with this task.
Walking to the door of the room, he knocked on the door nervously.
"Please come in." The young master's pleasant voice came from inside.
He took a deep breath, and carefully pushed the door open, only to see the young master and his wife were busy in the kitchen, their hands covered with flour.
"Please take a seat." Madam smiled, "Today is Liao Xia's birthday, I want to make him something he likes. Would you like to stay and celebrate with us?"
"The cherry dumplings and red cabbage soup made by mother are delicious, and I think you will like them too." The young master said happily.
He stood there for three full seconds, then ran out as if fleeing.When he came back, he held the picture album tightly in his arms. This was a gift his mother bought him before, and it was his most precious thing.
"For, for you..." He lowered his head and handed over the album, his heart beating wildly in his chest.
The album is very old, because it has been flipped through too many times, and it is slightly curled.But this is the only thing I can afford, would the young master like such a birthday present?
"Thank you, I like it very much." The young master took it with both hands, smiling brightly, "I will cherish it."
At dinner, he and his wife sang birthday songs to the young master, watched the young master blow out candles and make a wish, and shared sweet cream cakes, as well as strange cherry dumplings and red cabbage soup.
Christmas, a day full of love and blessings, he spent a very happy time.This was the first night after he came to the orphanage that he didn't cry because of loneliness and fear.
In the morning, He Jingnian woke up from the pain very early. His limbs were sore and painful, especially his wrists, arms and ankles. They were bruised and purple, and there were red marks from being bitten. It was shocking to look at.
He was in so much pain that he wanted to cry, and he couldn't get up at all, but he was so confused that he couldn't help but clean up.After huddling under the quilt for a long time, he dragged his feet to the bathroom with difficulty and cleaned himself up.
The marks on his body became more vivid and terrifying after being soaked in hot water.Fortunately, there are a lot of clothes in this season, so there will be no flaws.
When they went downstairs, Aunt Yang Li said that Yuan Cisheng had left the house very early.At noon, He Jingnian went to deliver lunch to him. After waiting for a long time, the original speech did not appear. He checked his mobile phone and found a message from Secretary Jin, saying that the boss was busy and told him not to wait.
After returning, a colleague told him that someone was looking for him and was waiting outside.He Jingnian went out to see that it was Shen Tangfeng.
Seeing Shen Tangfeng, he remembered what happened last time, and couldn't help being embarrassed.But the other party still greeted him as usual, but there was a worried look on his face.
He Jingnian asked him if Mrs. Shen was ill again?Shen Tangfeng nodded, saying that his mother wanted to see him wholeheartedly, otherwise she would not take medicine or go to the hospital.
When He Jingnian heard this, Mrs. Shen felt very sad in his heart, but when he thought that the original voice knew about Shen Tangfeng's coming to find him, he would definitely lose his temper again.After hesitating for a while, He Jingnian thought about it, since he was about to leave anyway, the original speech should not embarrass him anymore.
Sure enough, the Shen family was in chaos, Zhuang Manyin was crying and throwing things.But when He Jingnian came in, he immediately broke into a smile, hugged him and called "baby, baby", and said, "baby, why haven't you come for so long, mom misses you every day."
He Jingnian didn't know why Mrs. Shen was so attached to him, as if as long as he was around, everything would be fine for her.
After taking the medicine obediently, the servant wanted to take her back to rest, but she refused, saying that she knew that as soon as she closed her eyes, the baby would go away again.
Shen Peng comforted his wife, "Our Xiaoyu is already an older child, so we can't let him stay with his parents all the time, right?"
"No, Xiaoyu can't live without mother." Zhuang Manyin said, stroking He Jingnian's hair, pinching his hand, and muttering, "The baby is getting thinner again, why hasn't Mommy fattened you up... ..."
After everything settled down temporarily, Shen Tangfeng and He Jingnian sat on the benches in the courtyard to rest.After a moment of silence, Shen Tangfeng suddenly turned around and said, "I really hate Shen Tangyu."
He Jingnian was taken aback, "Isn't he your brother...?"
Shen Tangfeng seemed to laugh softly, "I'm not worthy."
The night engulfed half of his face, and his dark eyes were sunken deep in the shadows, as if absorbing the surrounding light.He Jingnian suddenly felt that such a Shen Tangfeng was a bit strange, not at all like him normally.
But soon, Shen Tangfeng returned to normal, thanked him, and said that he would trouble him every time.
"What's in your bag? It looks very heavy." Shen Tangfeng pointed to his bag.
Only then did He Jingnian remember that there was still a lunch box for Yuan Cisheng in it, and he took it out to have a look, but luckily it didn't fall over, but after bumping, the delicately arranged dishes were messed up.
"It looks delicious." Shen Tangfeng said, "Can you give me a taste?"
"How can this work?" He Jingnian hurriedly closed the lid, "The food is all mixed together."
"It's okay." Shen Tangfeng reached out to take it, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "It really tastes good." He praised seriously.
He Jingnian breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for liking."
Shen Tangfeng smiled slightly, "As a reward, let me tell you something."
He Jingnian was curious, "What?"
"My mother is a friend of Yuan Cisheng's mother, Xie Lisi." Shen Tangfeng said, "She once told me that one year for Yuan Cisheng's birthday, Xie Lisi originally wanted to knit a scarf for him, but she couldn't weave it. , until her death, the scarf was not finished."
"She...why did she pass away at such a young age?" For so many years, He Jingnian had only seen the obituary issued by Sheng Heng at the time. There is no conclusion.
"I can't remember, maybe I'm sick." Shen Tangfeng sighed, "Xie Lisi was originally a very powerful jewelry designer. Have you seen the Argos in Yuan Cisheng's hand? That is when she was pregnant. The work designed by her children is also her last work.”
"You know, the emerald on Argos is not an ordinary gem. The ancestors of Xie Lisi's family came to China after the October Revolution and took a lot of jewelry and artwork with them when they fled, including this emerald that used to be Emeralds from the Royal Collection."
"The redesign of this kind of collection-level gemstone is not something that ordinary people can control. The eyes of the entire collection industry are staring at her. Although she was young at the time, she managed to do it."
"However, such an ingenious person has completely lost his creative ability due to illness, and he can't even weave the simplest scarf. It hurts to think about it. If you can give Yuan Cisheng a scarf on his birthday, I think Not only can it make up for his regrets, but Xie Lisi will also feel relieved that she is alive in heaven."
The two talked for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Shen Tangfeng drove He Jingnian back.Noticing that He Jingnian staggered when he got into the car, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
He Jingnian shook his head, his face was hot.The ankle was pinched too hard by Yuan Cisheng for too long yesterday, and now it is getting more and more painful, and the bite wound on the instep is also aching.
The place where he got off the car was still a short walk from the mansion where he lived. Shen Tangfeng helped him carry the bag and sent him to the outside of the iron gate of the courtyard.
The iron gate slowly opened towards both sides, and the moonlight cast black shadows on the ground in a criss-cross grid.Yuan Cisheng turned around, and the night wind blew the waves of his green pupils, which were as cold as a frosty lake in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
Accompanied by the sound, there is an emotionless voice:
"came back."
