Chapter 113:

Pei Xin was picked by the old man among the few people watching, and it was not easy to refuse. After so many years, Li Wenyu inevitably felt that there was a fate and sat down on the stone chair under the tree.

"Oh," the old man was still wearing a gray coat whose original color could not be seen. His slightly white beard had not been shaved. A long strand fell down, and he stroked it a bit in a mysterious way, as if he had just shaved off his beard. Recognizing Pei Xin, "You haven't been here for a long time."

Pei Xin smiled politely: "You still remember me."

"Remember, remember -" The old man pursed his lips and handed him the chess box, blinking quickly. He glanced twice and said, "Let's play quickly. I want to eat after the game."

The tourists around patiently held the snacks bought from the street shops while eating with relish and continued to watch chess.

The chess pieces were placed on both sides, and the old man played quickly. Pei Xin dealt with it calmly. He always had no expression on his face, and he seemed to have no emotion even when he was thinking.

Li Wenyu heard a young couple standing behind him discussing the chess game in a low voice. The boy obviously had a good knowledge of chess and was eager to try it. Judging from the situation he analyzed, Pei Xin may lose.

The autumn sun is not that fierce, but the wind is very strong, so standing under the tree is a bit cool.

Li Wenyu didn't know much about chess, but he also watched it very seriously. It took about half an hour for the game to be played. Just as the boy expected, Pei Xin lost.

The wrinkles in the corners of the old man's eyes were so intense that he smiled so hard that he could barely close his mouth from ear to ear: "Win, win! I haven't lost even once today. Young man, you are regressing in your chess game!"

Pei Xin seemed to be thinking of something. , the movement of collecting the chess pieces paused, but soon returned to normal. He smiled and put away the rest on the chessboard: "I lost."

"Oh, you can go home for dinner." The old man stood up with satisfaction and went Picking up the tea kettle he put on the ground, he suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, where is your grandpa? Why haven't you come to play chess with me for a long time? Doesn't he live here at this time every year?"

Pei Xin gently put the lid on it. Chess box: "My grandpa passed away, and I can no longer play chess in the future."

The old man paused: "Oh, what a pity!"

He slowly looked into the distance, and slowly walked away pushing the cart and chessboard as if thinking about something. .

As soon as the old man left, the surrounding tourists dispersed. The young couple held fried skewers and discussed going to the beach under Qianguang Rock.

"Brother Xiao Yu, let's go." Pei Xin also stood up and patted the dust on his pants with a bit of disgust. After hearing the conversation between the two people, he said casually, "Why don't we go to Qianguang Rock too? I don't think I've ever been there. ."

Li Wenyu responded.

The stone road was covered with dry maple leaves, which made a crunching sound when stepped on. The road seemed to be close to the seaside again. Li Wenyu vaguely heard the sound of the waves and asked, "Have you not played chess for a long time?"

Pei Xin raised his eyebrows: "I haven't had sex for a long time, and my hands are raw."

The cool sea breeze blew over, and Li Wenyu thought of the way he looked lost in front of the photo frame yesterday, and said in a slow tone: "When is your grandpa?" "

Pei Xin said: "Two years ago, he lived in Huaiyun Island and was buried here."

Li Wenyu once heard that Li Yanzhong was from C City, which is probably where Pei Xin was when he was a child. Reason for living.

He pursed his lower lip: "Are you going to take a look?"

Pei Xin's voice was very calm: "Aren't we going to Qianguang Rock?"

"It doesn't matter," the soft sand under Li Wenyu's feet was soaked by the sea water and sunk in. , "I'll go with you."

Li Yanzhong was buried in a cemetery in the center of Huaiyun Island. The vegetation was lush, and there was a large patch of pink and white hibiscus in full bloom. It was quiet but not desolate, as if it was just an ordinary way of expressing thoughts. place.

It was very big inside, but Pei Xin remembered the location quite clearly.

There was a strong wind in the cemetery, and his clothes were blown away by the wind. The yellow and white flowers and leaves he bought in a nearby flower shop in his arms also swayed, and then he was gently placed in front of the marble tombstone.

The black-and-white photo on the tombstone shows an old man who looks kind and gentle, with slightly white hair on his temples, but he looks very energetic. If Li Wenyu hadn't known that this was a predator who once dominated the shopping mall, he might have thought that Li Yanzhong was just a bastard. A kind old man who likes fishing and playing chess.

Pei Xin put down the flowers and stood in front of the tombstone, silent for a while.

The scent of hibiscus drifts over with the cold wind, fragrant but not pungent. Li Wenyu asked warmly: "Did you choose this place? It's very beautiful."

"No," Pei Xin's eyes were fixed on the photo of the tombstone, "My mother chose it. I was still in China when my grandfather became ill. I didn't see him for the last time."

Li Wenyu was stunned for a moment: "Did you have a heavy workload abroad? That's why you came back late?"

Pei Xin paused, not knowing whether he was thinking or not wanting to answer: "It's okay. "The ward was in chaos when I came back. My mother didn't want to see me and didn't let me in."

Li Wenyu thought of the beautiful face that was similar to Pei Xin in the family photo in Xiaoyanglou, and felt a lump in his throat. Time doesn't know what to say.

"My grandpa taught me how to play chess, but I haven't played chess with him since I went abroad." Pei Xin raised his face, showing no emotion, and his voice was hoarse by the wind, "I am self-righteous and dissatisfied with him for taking me away. When I was sent abroad, I thought I had everything and nothing mattered. "

"On the day of the funeral, I regretted it very much, but I still couldn't take back anything. Brother Xiao Yu, I seemed like I couldn't do anything after you left. Especially, I really want to see you, even if it is illusory, but you never showed up, and I realized that I can't even control an illusory hallucination. In fact, I know nothing and have nothing."

Li Wenyu. He opened his mouth, but his voice was muffled, and the words were solidified and stuck in his throat.

Pei Xin's eyes were a little red, and he turned to look at him: "The first time I felt regret was after you left. I hated myself."

He locked himself in that apartment, and there were people everywhere. Li Wenyu's shadow. It was plain and heart-breaking. In every day that he once thought was as plain as water, Li Wenyu suffered painfully.

Because of his selfishness, indifference, and despicability, some things are destined to be filled with endless regrets. Even if he wants to use up everything he has to repay, he has no way out.

"I'm sorry," tears kept pouring out of Pei Xin's eyes, and his pupils were bright, like an unknown wet sea. "I'm sorry, I deserve to die... I knew I stole it, but I I still want it."

Birds flew across the forest, and the dense branches and leaves swayed.

Li Wenyu turned his head and wiped the ends of his eyes carelessly. He still did not speak. His eyes were blurry as he looked at the photos on the tombstone and the yellow flowers and leaves covered with dewdrops.

At this moment, he thought, that's it, stop arguing with Pei Xin.

If he had lived in such a family since birth, with a twisted and ruthless father like Pei Pingjin, a mother who was indifferent and indifferent to him, and a crisis-ridden and complicated family relationship, he might not be a better person than Pei Xin. people.

The autumn wind was bleak, and the sunlight was almost blocked by the lush woods. Pei Xin looked at the tip of his red nose and silently took off his coat and put it on him.

Li Wenyu did not refuse. He raised his eyes and looked at him. His voice was very soft and nasal: "Pei Xin, I regret it too."

Pei Xin's hands fell on his shoulders, and the tears on his face had not dried up, as if he was tireless. The child, who shed tears but couldn't wipe them away, lowered his eyes and asked hesitantly: "...what?"

"I regret that I didn't insist on giving you that Buddha amulet," Li Wenyu choked, "I shouldn't have let Ji He know you. In that case, maybe you wouldn't be hurt like this."

Pei Xin said immediately: "These are all I can't blame you, you called the police and saved me! Even if something happens to me, it's what a despicable bastard like me deserves, so you don't have to blame yourself."

Li Wenyu almost collapsed and closed his eyes, with glistening tears falling from his eyes. When he came down, Pei Xin was at a loss and hurriedly wiped it with his sleeves, but suddenly he heard Li Wenyu's crying voice: "Pei Xin, you are such a despicable bastard, but I like you."

Pei Xin's movements instantly stiffened. He almost thought that what was in front of him was his hallucination, but Li Wenyu's glass-like eyes and tears were so real. He asked tremblingly: "...what did you say?"

Li Wenyu shed tears numbly: "Stolen Whatever I robbed will not last long. But this time, it was my own will."

Pei Xin fell into a complete trance of disbelief, with only his heart beating fiercely, and then tightly. Hugged him.

For the first time, Pei Xin was so scared. He was afraid that everything in front of him was illusion, he was afraid of Li Wenyu's brokenness and tears, and he was afraid that he would regret it.

It was also the first time that he felt that when someone is loved, the first reaction is gratitude. He was so intensely grateful to Li Wenyu, and he was as ecstatic as if he had escaped from death. He almost regarded him as a lost organ and burst into tears. Turbulence: "Brother Xiao Yu... thank you, thank you..."

He murmured over and over again. After a long while, Li Wenyu reached out and patted his back, and said softly: "Don't cry anymore, like a child." "

Pei Xin immediately let go, wiped away his tears, and looked at him almost piously: "I will never cry again, Brother Yu, I will always love you, really."

Li Wenyu . After a pause, he smiled with tears in his eyes: "Okay."
