The first time I came here, the place where I met Ye Huan...
The smooth and flat marble floor, I looked at this vaguely familiar place, and couldn't help smiling. Tu and the two quickly went in, searched around, and after about ten minutes, Tu came out.
"Boss...he's inside, alone. It's safe." Tu's said something, but his tone was a little weird.
I waved my hand: "You all go out, all go out. I will see him myself."
After a pause, I gritted my teeth and said, "No one is allowed in without me!"
Tu didn't say anything this time, and he quickly left with his people.
I gave myself the collar and continued to walk in.
This is a separate dressing room. I smiled and gently opened the curtain. Immediately, there was a trace of white water vapor floating over inside.
It was still the separate luxury bath room with the Jinzi No. 1 signboard. I pushed open the insulated wooden door and went in, facing the lingering water vapor. This is a small bathroom of about fifty or sixty square meters. On the left is a bathtub made entirely of granite, next to it is a huge Japanese bath barrel, and on the right there is a small sauna room... everything , are exactly the same as before.
The ground under his feet was wet and slippery, surrounded by water vapor, and there was a person sitting in the bath on the left. He was sitting under the statue of the Norse goddess, and the hot water from the goddess' mouth and eyes sprinkled on him, and he seemed to be enjoying it.
A white towel was draped over his shoulders. His upper body was bare, revealing his solid body, his back was facing me, and there was a three-inch long scar on his back, like a centipede.
"Xiao Wu, you're here."
With a calm tone and a seemingly casual tone, Ye Huan gently wiped his face with water, then turned to look at me, his facial features were a little blurred in the water vapor, and then he seemed to smile: "Come on, wash with me."
I noticed that there was a round plate on the edge of the bathtub. On the plate was a bottle of red wine and a goblet. As Ye Huan said, he took a sip from the glass and sighed softly: "What are you doing standing up here? Speak."
I walked up a few steps and said calmly, "Ye Huan, at this moment, you are very interested."
"Why not?" Ye Huan laughed softly, "Being able to take a comfortable bath before dying and leave this world clean is already the most rare enjoyment in life."
I couldn't help but be a little surprised when he admitted defeat so straightforwardly. But then I also said: "Ye Huan, it's hard to hear you say such words of admitting defeat."
"Win is winning, losing is losing, there is nothing to say." Ye Huan shook his hand: "It's just that since you returned to China, I know very well that the person who will come here to see me off one day will definitely not be from Qinghong. It's your little five!"
"Why?"
"Because..." Ye Huan raised his eyelids and looked at me: "I understand you."
Looking at Ye Huan at such a close distance, his eyes are still as unique as before. The eyes are not aggressive and sharp, but light and gentle, like spring rain, moistening things silently, as if they have seen through people just inadvertently. Such a person, when he smiles, you will feel as if the spring breeze is blowing on your face. And when he is angry, you will feel that nothing in this world can hide from his eyes...
The pair of eyes in front of him, the eyes, are the same as back then!
I know that at this moment, I should be angry, or I should feel happy, a kind of pleasure of resentment and hatred! Maybe I should stand in front of him, look down on Ye Huan, and face him like a winner laughing at a loser! Maybe I should use a mocking tone to ask him why he used that unfair method to deal with me in the first place! Or scold him for what he deserves, berate him with words like 'you have today'...etc.
All these pictures flashed in my eyes, but... they just flashed. When the mind calms down...
The person in front of him, soaking in the water, is actually just an old and tired man!
Yes, Ye Huan... old.
Even though he tried his best to hide it, he still showed signs of fatigue.
There are already deep bags under his eyes, and the muscles on his waist have been slack. Sitting like this, he, who was originally strong and strong, even has a belly.
"Xiao Wu, sit down and talk to me for a while." Ye Huan sighed: "You have already won, and I have lost. I will pay you back what I owe you. Only in the end, can you sit down with me?" Shall we talk for a while?"
I heard Ye Huan call me "Little Five". Such a familiar name was called out from the familiar with a familiar voice, which made me tremble slightly in my heart.
I didn't hesitate, even though the side of the bath was wet, I sat down, took off my coat and threw it on the ground.
Ye Huan seemed to be a little happier. He put his arm on the edge of the bathtub, tapped his fingers lightly on the marble, and said with a smile: "I still remember that when I brought you to this place for the first time, you still didn't know anything. You are a stupid boy. You are a little timid. Well, what a naive young man you were at that time. At that time, you called me Brother Huan, and I said that I planned to ask you to come and help me with things here, You are still a little excited..."
He seemed to be immersed in the memories, his eyes sparkled... I suddenly became a little puzzled. Is his expression real or fake
Back then he could kill me without hesitation, but now, that nostalgic gesture, that look in his eyes seems to be sincere.
"You made me into this with your own hands." I couldn't help stabbing him.
Ye Huan glanced at me, he fell silent, grabbed the towel and soaked it in water, wiped his face vigorously, and sighed deeply: "Xiao Wu, do you still remember what I always said to you back then... In this world, How much you get, and how much you have to pay!"
I was silent, but I still didn't understand Ye Huan's words.
He suddenly smiled, with a trace of desolation in his smile: "Money, power, status, these are all what I get. And you... are the price I pay. I say that, do you understand?"
The muscles on my face twitched, and I raised my head to stare at Ye Huan!
"Xiao Wu, I know that I was unfair to you back then, and that incident hurt you severely. However, you didn't understand this incident back then. That's because you were a kid with nothing back then! But now, You and I have the same status. Considering from such a position, you think there should be a judgment in your heart for the things I did to you." Ye Huan sneered: "You are fine, you You are the young man I admire the most. I take you by my side, train you, promote you, and treat you as my younger brother, or even my son. But... when one day, your life threatens everything I have Sometimes... I will eradicate you without hesitation! Because, under the circumstances at that time, if you don't die... then I will die!"
In fact, I have thought about this question many, many times myself.
That incident, to me who was betrayed, naturally caused great grief and indignation in my heart! But for Ye Huan, who is a hero of one side... it's just an inevitable move! As a hero, when his wealth and interests are threatened, he can only make choices! And I am an abandoned child who has to be abandoned!
In that case, I am afraid that any hero would choose this way.
"And, judging from today's ending, what I did back then was not wrong." Ye Huan smiled and said, "Look, you didn't die, and I am the one who is dead now. If I could have killed you back then, then now , my situation will not be so bad. So... "
Speaking of this, Ye Huan fell silent, he looked at me with complicated eyes... At this moment, I seemed to see many things in Ye Huan's eyes... There is regret, helplessness, and a trace of regret …
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry."
"..." I thought I heard it wrong, but looking at Ye Huan, the "I'm sorry" clearly came from him. Listening to Ye Huan say these three words to me... I don't know what's wrong, it seems that all the hatred accumulated in my heart, all the resentment accumulated in these years, found a gap to vent...
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry." Ye Huan looked at me with a serious expression: "This apology is from your brother Huan. But... as me, if things go through again, I will still do it. Say something I'm sorry for you. Because, fundamentally, I don't think I do what is necessary! This world is like this, what must be done, sometimes you know it's wrong, but you still have to do it !"
I'm sorry for you, but what I did was not wrong.
These are the answers Brother Huan gave me! That's the answer I've been holding back for so many years!
No, no... I shook my head and realized that I was a little dizzy. I couldn't help but call him "Brother Huan" again in my heart, hum...
I tried my best to keep my face straight, and said coldly, "Is that what you called me here in the end?"
Ye Huan looked at me, he didn't answer my words, but suddenly said in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, I have already lost, I lost completely... You want my life, I will give it to you, what I owe you, I will pay you back!" You... just, at this last moment, can you call me 'Brother Huan' again?"
After hearing this sentence, my throat seemed to be blocked by something!
