In the past few days, she accidentally saw a young man who would send Ren Ziling back at night.
There were many old neighbors in the old town, so there was some gossip … Occasionally, when he passed by a small restaurant where a group of guests would sit in the shade at night, he heard it.
Luoqiu also met him once, just downstairs in the old house … They were talking and laughing.
Who could he be?
He didn't know when he had a kind of uneasiness, vaguely irritated … Maybe it was just like what the old neighbors said.
She was still so young, in the best years of her life, and at the time when she needed someone to comfort her the most. How could she take care of an almost adult child wholeheartedly?
Moreover, the child was not her biological child.
Who was that young man who would often send her home? Luoqiu always felt that he was not that kind of impulsive person, but gradually, he had an impulse that he couldn't explain.
It was like a demon, maybe it had always existed in his heart, and then it was fed in the months after his father died.
Finally … he saw this young man for the second time. This day, he deliberately asked for leave from school early, and returned to the old town earlier than usual. The college entrance examination was approaching, so the school couldn't let him go easily.
But the teacher knew about this child, and knew that a child who had just lost his father didn't have it easy, so he was more tolerant.
Luoqiu hid in his room, and the closed curtain quietly opened a gap. He felt a sense of guilt … and silently looked downstairs.
It was not a high-end car, but the man who got off was probably only 25 or 26 years old. It seemed that he was quite good to be able to drive such a car.
He also saw Ren Ziling coming out of the car … She seemed to be a little absent-minded. Luoqiu couldn't hear what they were talking about.
But it seemed that they only said a few words and it was over. After the man nodded, he drove away.
But Luoqiu didn't see Ren Ziling coming up immediately, but leaned against the wall downstairs, lighting a cigarette … This was the first time Luoqiu saw her smoking.
While smoking, she suddenly squatted down, covering her eyes with her hands, and her shoulders slightly trembling. He knew that she was crying … After so long, this was the first time he had seen her so sad.
She squatted downstairs alone, silently sobbing.
How helpless and painful was she to be like this? Luoqiu didn't know … He just suddenly had an idea that maybe what the old neighbors said was not unreasonable.
He just looked at her … About ten minutes later, Ren Ziling stood up again, quickly washed her face with mineral water, and then patted her face, opened the door and walked upstairs.
Luoqiu heard her footsteps outside the door. She gently knocked on the door, asking him if he had eaten, and if he was tired … These were words that could be heard every day.
But he didn't choose to open the door, nor did he make a sound. He just silently sat in the room with the light off. She thought he had fallen asleep.
Although she had brought him back here, she still felt that he was cold.
…
"Really! I saw it. That woman and a young man went in! The hotel! "
"Which woman?"
"And that one? Isn't it that one? I knew that such a young man couldn't help it! "
"Wait … Did someone pass by just now?"
"Who?"
"He looked like Lao Luo's son, did I see it wrong?"
…
Luoqiu felt that he shouldn't come here … But he still came here unconsciously.
Something was driving him to come here, and he felt that he really couldn't control himself. He wasn't in a good state … but he did see the car that had sent her back. It was parked outside the hotel.
The hotel was not high, and all the hotels in the old town were like this … Perhaps it was more suitable to call it a restaurant. Luoqiu suddenly felt a little ridiculous, even if he came here, could he do anything? Should he do something?
Just as he was hesitating whether it would be better for him to leave … some things were better left unsaid for both parties.
Perhaps, even if he was alone, he might be able to pass … So be it.
But he saw the man walking in the lobby of the hotel. Luoqiu was stunned, he knew that he shouldn't continue to get involved, but … something was driving him.
He quietly followed behind the man, but he didn't see him enter the floor provided for people to stay in. He only saw him in a private room on the second floor.
The room … seemed to be very lively.
He took a deep breath and quietly opened the door. Before that, he even heard Ren Ziling's voice.
It was so loud.
"No way! I will never give up the custody of Luoqiu!! "
"What custody? Is this your biological son?"
Another voice … It was the voice of a middle-aged man. Luoqiu thought he knew the source of the voice: The person who responded to Ren Ziling with a cold voice obviously had the same surname as him, a cousin of his father.
The room was full of people with the surname Luo … People who dared to come from other cities. At first, Luoqiu's father was assigned to work in this city, and later settled down, living in the same place as them.
"Talk about marriage! Who is closer! We have the same ancestor's blood! And you! If you say you are his biological mother, we will never say a word! But you are just a woman who came in later! Will you be so kind to take care of him? How old are you? Can you bear it? "
What a sarcastic voice.
"I have said many times! Please don't come to me again! I will not give up the custody! "
She … How many times had she faced these people?
"Hmph! I think you are just greedy for money! What you are greedy for is my poor cousin's property! To put it bluntly, that's all! "
Suddenly, Ren Ziling didn't say a word, but she threw a pile of documents on the table heavily. She looked at the people at the table and said forcefully, "These! All the property after my husband's death, including the pension and the real estate certificate! And the property that was distributed to me after his death! I have entrusted all of them to my representative lawyer, and all of them are under the name of Luoqiu! When he becomes an adult, all of these will belong to him! Before that, I will absolutely not use a single cent of these treasures! "
"Hello, I am the representative lawyer of Qing Yuan Law Firm. This is my card." The man said indifferently, "Miss Ren has gone through the relevant procedures here, and I guarantee that all of these are legally valid. If you don't believe me, you can take a copy of these documents to any notary organization for verification. If you have any questions, I can also answer them. "
Lawyer … This man, is he a lawyer …
"What can you give to this child? Yes! I am not his biological mother, but we have lived together for at least a few years! And you? Do you know what this child likes to eat? What he likes to wear? What songs he likes to listen to? When is his birthday? What does he like to play? Have you guys ever given him a call during the festive season? Do you want custody? With these, does he need you to support him? What can you give him? Don't you also want these? "
"You, since you don't want anything, what can you give him?"
A voice that turned into anger out of humiliation.
"I!"
Ren Ziling pointed at her face, and said loudly, as if she was making an oath, "I can give him a home!"
Why did she need to be strong … Because she knew that she needed to face these malicious words, and she needed to protect a father who had just lost a child.
If she was not strong, if she was not covered with thorns like a hedgehog, how could she take care of that child?
…
Luoqiu gently closed the door. No one knew that he had been here.
However, some people knew that he had hit someone that day … It seemed that he had acted up in a small village nearby. He had suddenly slapped a middle-aged woman hard on the face.
…
…
Slap!
It was a very loud and clear sound. His slender fingers accurately whipped her face, which seemed as if it would break at the slightest touch.
She didn't know how much strength it had, but it was obvious that it instantly left a red handprint on her delicate face.
After being slapped, Long Xiruo's mind went blank for a moment.
She had never had such an experience … No, it should be said that she had never had such an experience after she became mature. When was the last time? Thousands of years ago? Ten thousand years ago? When she was a child?
She felt a burning sensation on her neck, but it was not that she couldn't breathe. It was just that the pain on her face made her feel an unprecedented humiliation.
Long Xiruo slowly lowered her head. Even though her body was lifted up by the neck, she was obviously not in a hurry. Her golden eyes seemed to dim a little, turning into dark gold … but also more solid.
"You … want to start a war with me here, don't you?"
He could clearly feel Long Xiruo's hidden anger. Luo Qiu didn't waver in the slightest in the face of this stormy anger.
"I just want you to know something."
Luoqiu suddenly let go of his hand. Long Xiruo stood on the ground. He then continued, "We didn't come back from the ashes. We weren't forced to disappear by those lunatics from the west. We just … we have always been, walking in the world."
In the blink of an eye, an ancient and strange door appeared behind the club's boss with a rumble.
Slowly, it opened up a little.
It was this tiny strand of hair that revealed some of its secrets.
Long Xiruo suddenly took a big step back. Her forehead was instantly moistened. Her almost dark gold eyes returned to normal black and white. She even couldn't help but slightly tremble.
She seemed to hear countless wailing sounds. She seemed to feel a kind of whisper from the whole world. She seemed to only see desolation and endless silence in front of her.
She seemed to be in the endless barren land. The sea turned into mulberry fields … The sky fell and the earth cracked. The world seemed to return to nothingness in the next moment.
She was the Shinryū who protected this land … but only this land.
But above the land …
He was right … In this era, in this age of chaos … how could there be someone who could compete with this place?
Boom!
A loud sound like thunder rang in Long Xiruo's mind. It made her forget the poking pain on her neck. It made her forget the humiliation of being slapped. Her mind went blank again … This was the sound of this horrible door closing.
It was so heavy … that she couldn't bear it.
The roaring cars on the road caused the airflow on the road blew to Long Xiruo's back. A kind of coolness like water meeting wind helped her to recover some of her blank consciousness.
She and the new boss of the club were still here. In this city, everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
"Sorry, I almost don't hit people. But sometimes I do get a little impulsive. "
She heard such a light voice … Instead of saying that it was an apology, it was better to say that it was just explaining something.
"I didn't hurt you, right?"
Luoqiu got closer to Long Xiruo. His finger lightly scratched the palm print on her face. The red mark faded instantly.
Long Xiruo subconsciously took a step back. She was full of fear and a trace of fear that she didn't want to admit. So she couldn't respond to this situation.
"Master!"
At this moment, the voice of Miss Maid came from Luoqiu's back. Miss Maid seemed to break the space and walked directly to him.
Long Xiruo clearly saw that the eyes of this woman which were bluer than the sea became deeper. Her hands were slowly burning with the extremely troublesome black flame. It seemed that she was about to enter the state of battle. She might even say nothing and directly start the fight.
"Lunatic."
Long Xiruo suddenly said. She turned around and jumped to the roof of the nearby building. In a flash, she had disappeared in the night of the city.
She swallowed the humiliation of this slap, but didn't have the idea of a life-and-death fight … In front of that door, her pride was completely torn and scattered into a pile of useless things.
…
"Master, just now …"
Seeing that Long Xiruo had left, Miss Maid also withdrew her black flame and came to Luoqiu's side.
Luo Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. After looking at the night sky silently, he said softly, "A person who is easy to talk to is easy to be bullied. But if he is a lunatic or emotionally unstable, people will feel a little afraid of him. It's okay, I just warned her … You can go back first. "
You Ye nodded. She glanced at Ren Ziling who was leaning against the car door not far away and seemed to understand something.
…
…
But she still felt a little scared … If the car didn't recover in time, would she have been lying in the hospital?
Ren Ziling looked up at the building where she lived now. She didn't plan to go up.
She took out the makeup mirror and looked at her face carefully … She didn't want to let Luoqiu see something wrong with her face.
This guy's eyes were as sharp as a thief's. He really inherited the skills of his boss who used to be a policeman.
She planned to walk up after taking a puff of her cigarette.
But she didn't know why, as she smoked, she squatted down. Her eyes were a little wet and she had a feeling of crying … She looked so lonely alone.
But she couldn't let others see her fragile side.
One minute, just one minute of crying. Ren Ziling, do you understand?
She said to herself.
"Why are you squatting here?"
Just one minute, Ren Ziling heard a very familiar voice … Luoqiu's voice.
Her eyes were a little red and the cigarette butt was still in her fingers. Ren Ziling squatted and raised her head. Seeing Luoqiu here, she slightly opened her mouth.
"It hurts …"
She was so shocked that the burning cigarette butt hurt her. She quickly threw away the cigarette butt in her hand, lowered her head, and stood up. At the same time, she quickly rubbed her eyes. "There's sand in my eyes. You … What are you doing here? No, isn't the light on upstairs? Why are you downstairs? "
Luoqiu raised the shopping bag in his hand and said, "Don't you need daily necessities? I don't think you can remember these things. "
Ren Ziling smiled embarrassedly.
"Have you eaten?"
"No … There's no time …" Ren Ziling shook her head.
"Let's go back, I'll make something for you." Luoqiu said, "I just bought some meatballs, let's make some wine meatballs."
With that, Luoqiu directly went upstairs. Ren Ziling was stunned and quickly followed. She pushed Luoqiu's back with both hands and quickened her pace, "Ah! I can't control my stomach! Boy, hurry up!! "
"Throw away the cigarette box in your bag before you come in." Luo Qiu said without turning his head.
Subeditor Ren could only answer pitifully, "I know!"
When entering the door, Ren Ziling threw the cigarette box into the trash can in the corridor. At this time, Luoqiu suddenly stood at the door and turned around.
He said indifferently, "And throw away the things you hid in the closet."
"… Okay." Subeditor Ren kowtowed weakly.
"Then … Welcome home."
Ren Ziling was stunned and suddenly looked up, but she saw Luoqiu had already entered the room.
She couldn't help crying. After a minute, her eyes turned red again.
…
…
Shen Meihuan was anxiously looking for her son on the street … Where could he go? Could it be that he had regained some of his consciousness?
Many questions appeared in her mind. She even worried that something would happen to her son in his current state.
She blamed herself that she shouldn't have gone out to buy things so rashly.
After several hours, she still couldn't find her son, which almost drove Shen Meihuan crazy.
Since her son was finally back, please don't take him away from her again … She prayed like this.
Perhaps Shen Meihuan heard her prayer and finally found her son.
