Why do you stand in your place, instead of me

Chapter 1 The Legendary Fortune Teller

In June, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the UK is quite large. An hour ago, I didn’t feel hot wearing only a short sleeve, but now I put on a windbreaker, but it feels terribly cold.

Fortunately, Ye Ming is used to this kind of weather, and also used to living alone in a foreign land.

At first, he thought that Shan Wenqing would come to England to find him.However, he waited and waited, waited and waited, but no one came.Gradually, he no longer had delusions.

Today, for Ye Ming, there is nothing special.

Invariably get out of school, invariably after school.

Besides, a large crowd of people gathered abnormally at the gate of the school.

Ye Ming is not a person who likes to join in the fun. He was about to leave, but he couldn't bear someone's interest in him.

"Wait a minute for that boy wearing flat glasses and a black windbreaker." As the old man spoke, he got up and walked towards Ye Ming, apologizing to the people around him in English.If there is something to do today, don’t worry about it. We will talk about everything tomorrow.

The old voice, with his unique sense of mystery, made Ye Ming quite interesting.Moreover, he can speak fluent British English. It seems that he is not a simple character.

Although Ye Ming was a little reluctant in his heart, it was not easy to save the face of an old man.Turning around slowly, he looked at the stranger who called him to stop him.

A head of long hair that seemed to have never been combed was casually scattered behind.

A pair of eyes that should have become cloudy due to age, are abnormally bright, giving people the illusion of seeing the eyes of a newborn child.The nose and mouth are nothing special.

The combination of all the facial features feels nothing special.Coupled with wrinkled skin, it feels nothing special.

I just don't know why, coupled with his flowing long hair and gray robe, it actually makes people feel like an ancient fairy.

"Mr., I don't know what you want from me?" Ye Ming asked respectfully.

"Hehe." The old man looked at Ye Ming with a smile of admiration, "Little brother, your etiquette is not in place."

As he spoke, he stood up straight with his legs and upper body, with his left hand in front and his right hand clenched behind, clasping his hands together in front of his chest, shaking them rhythmically two or three times, and said with a smile: "I have something to ask, I don't know if my little brother can do it." You can't take a step to speak."

Ye Ming took advantage of the opportunity to return the salute with the sky, stretching his hands flat and interlacing his fingers, his left hand outside, his palms facing inward, his arms stretched forward like a ring, raising his hands to his jaw, bowing his body to salute, and replied in his unwavering voice: " Although it’s a bit out of etiquette, I’m sorry for the junior’s difficulty.”

After finishing speaking, he turned and left without looking at the expression of the old man standing behind him.

Ye Ming returned to his apartment in England, stood at the door, and turned on the light.

Although the area is not large, Ye Ming feels a suffocating sense of loneliness.He stared blankly at the house made of exquisite decorations and expensive furniture, which looked warm and beautiful under the warm light.

The loneliness in my heart expanded silently, until the whole heart was empty.

Because he was alone, Ye Ming didn't care much about eating.He picked up the takeaway order on the table and called someone to deliver the food.

After Ye Ming took a shower and fell asleep on the bed, it was already 10:00 in the evening.At this time, he had time to recall the strange old man he met today, and guessed his purpose for coming to find him.

For money?impossible.He did not do business in the UK, and all the money he spent was given by his family.The money can only maintain his daily life, there is no surplus at all.

For the right?This is even more impossible.If he were in China, his status as the second young master of the Ye family might be really useful.But here was England, and he had nothing.So, this might also be ruled out.

Remove these external things, and only the self remains.

He majored in library and information management. After graduating from this major, there are quite a lot of jobs he can do, but he has his own plan.If it was for this reason that the old man came to him.Be sure to explain it to him next time you meet.

After making up his mind, Ye Ming seemed much more relaxed. He pressed the button on the bedside, intending to enter the world of sleep.

But today I don't know what happened, he tossed and turned on the bed several times, but couldn't fall asleep.The scene of playing with Shan Wenqing when I was a child always comes to my mind.

Blue sky, white clouds, long green grass, two little boys of average age, one is sitting on a chair reading a book quietly, the other is standing behind and talking loudly, preventing the boy on the chair from reading, Want to get his attention.

The boy sitting on the chair is Ye Ming, and the boy who keeps talking is Shan Wenqing.

At that time, Ye Ming didn't like Shan Wenqing and was always too alienated from him.But in this way, instead of making Shan Wenqing restrain his temper, he became more unscrupulous.

I have never understood why Shan Wenqing always treats me so differently, obviously showing a cold and arrogant image in front of others.If you can come to yourself, you will suddenly become a rogue.

Thinking about it now, I really miss Shan Wenqing, who was skinny and shameless, who knew how to play tricks.

Ah.Ye Ming, what are you thinking.He can not contact you for four years, but you still think about him shamelessly, you are such an idiot!Maybe, he already has someone else by his side, so there is no room for you.

Tears, silently across the face, dripping on the quilt.After a while, it evaporated.It's as if it never happened.

After school the next day, Ye Ming met that strange old man again.This time, there was no crowd of people gathered at the door.It was as if they were specially waiting for him.

"Senior, can you tell this junior who you are and what you do." Ye Ming bowed his hands respectfully to the old man.I silently thank my grandfather who forced me to learn the etiquette in ancient times when I was a child. If my grandfather insisted, I would not even know the most basic etiquette today.

"Little brother, you are very curious." The old man did not answer Ye Ming immediately, but asked instead.

"Yes."

"The old man is just a fortune teller, wandering around the world, not very capable, and his name is not worth mentioning. I fell in love with you yesterday, and I want to remind you a little bit."

"please say."

"If you don't go back, there is really no turning point. In five years, you can turn the world around and change everything. If you still stick to your promise, I'm afraid you'll lose your money. Your family will also be ruined."

The old voice drilled into Ye Ming's ears, making him feel shuddering.

When Ye Ming came back to his senses and wanted to ask more clearly, he found that there was no old man in front of him, only the road with cars coming and going.

Everything just now seemed to be just an illusion.

He clearly knows that he shouldn't trust strangers' words, especially the words of a strange old man who can't see through them.But for some reason, just a few words penetrated deep into his heart, making him dare not believe it.

Anyway, the summer vacation is coming soon, so it's okay to go back.Ye Ming made excuses for himself in his heart.

Or the voice is too majestic, which makes people believe it unconsciously, or the concept of preferring to believe what is there or not to believe what is not is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In fact, he just missed him.
