"I'm sorry." Lin Yan whispered to the boy's back. For some reason, the fact that no one could see Xiao Yu always made him a little anxious. Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, and reached out to touch Xiao Yu for the first time. With fingers like a sculpture, Yu said softly, "It's very lonely, there are so many people in the world, and I'm the only one who can see you, so it's not good for you."
Lin Yan stared at the constantly flowing road outside the window and sighed: "I sometimes think that if a person walks on the street but seems invisible, waving desperately but no one responds, shouting desperately but no one hears, this kind of feeling must be It will drive people crazy. When I sit alone in the study room, I often feel that everyone’s excitement has nothing to do with me. I can’t wait to rush into the crowd and shout that I am so lonely that I am dying. If there is a person, no matter who he is, as long as He is willing to listen to me patiently, and I will definitely cling to him, sadly, lovingly and even desperately clinging to him."
"But I can't say it. No one wants to admit that they are lonely. They always have to pretend to be happy to fulfill their pride. While showing off their awesome life to others, they close the door and cry secretly. People are so strange. biology."
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, grabbed Lin Yan's hand, and kissed it lightly on his lips, as if to comfort him.
Lin Yan turned his head silently. The children in the snack bar were noisy, and the window facing the street was covered with small heart-shaped notes. Some of them are written to bless you to pass the exam, the notes are immature and youthful, and the most simple and beautiful wishes.
Everyone has their own wishes, which may be simple or complex. The unsatisfactory life makes them write down their wishes on paper, hoping that one day the gods will see them. Lin Yan silently thought, people who don’t know them are always brilliant, but they are flawed only when they get to know them well. For example, he himself has a good family background and excellent studies, but he has never dared to admit that he doesn’t like girls; for example, Yin Zhou, a big perfect family Born but only willing to be a prince in the virtual world; another example is A Yan, who can't even be a normal person in the eyes of others. Lin Yan smiled wryly, who would listen to their prayers
Probably because of the tipping off of the high school students, a group of children at the next table were pointing at him. Someone said something about a mentally ill person. Lin Yan smiled indifferently, took out a note from his pocket, and wrote a line: "I hope you can Help Zhou Jintian find his father smoothly." He casually pasted the note under a piece of fluorescent paper with a heart drawn on it.
He heard about a child's wish today.
He, Yin Zhou and A Yan rushed to the mortuary to inquire after finding the boy's record. Interjected, asked him if the child hadn't left yet, then put down the broom and said it was pitiful.
"I know that child. His grandma and I are neighbors. His mother died a few years ago. His father can't take care of him in business. The child lives with his grandma. Once Jin Tian had a severe fever, his father came back to check on him. Since then, Jintian has remembered. One day, while his grandma was away, he fell off the balcony on the third floor, thinking that his father would accompany him to see a doctor if he fell, but the child deserved his short life. When he landed, he was hit by a curb , the rupture of internal organs caused massive bleeding, and he passed away within a few days after being sent to the hospital."
"The ashes are buried in the most expensive cemetery in our city. I went there on the day of the funeral. Unfortunately, his father was on a business trip abroad. He didn't come back to pick up the body until two days after his son passed away. He didn't see him for the last time." The nurse sighed: "I heard that the child kept talking about why his father didn't come when he was in a daze. The doctor lied to him that he was already on the way. As a result, the child lay on the bed every day and looked out the window. His eyes were still open when he died."
This story made Lin Yan and the others a little sad, but A Yan said that this kind of soul is easy to deal with, and he has no resentment and does not want to harm others. As long as he finds the person he is obsessed with, burns paper in front of the grave, and talks to him more, he should be gone. But the child's ghost is the most pure and persistent. If the person never comes, the child will turn into a little ghost after waiting for a long time, which is an extremely difficult ghost to deal with.
"Ghosts, ghosts are people's hearts." A Yan was quite disappointed when she said this.
"Ding." Lin Yan's cell phone rang, and Yin Zhou sent Zhou Mo's detailed address and contact information. He turned out to be a local, living in the most remote area of the city, and it took three hours to drive there. Lin Yan swallowed the last mouthful of hot and sour noodles, threw the peanuts in the soup into his mouth, and said to Xiao Yu with the corners of his lips curled up, "Let's go, this time the task is to help the children find their father, it's much easier than taking care of you gone."
As he spoke, he grabbed his wrist and walked out. He couldn't help whistling and laughing while driving, thinking that all the troubles would be like today. No matter how unlucky he is recently, family love always warms people's hearts.
Zhou Mo's house is at the junction of urban and rural areas. When the destination shown by the navigation arrived, Lin Yan thought he had gone to the wrong place. In front of him was a rather imposing villa with a sign hanging on the gate of the imitation European style: private residence , there is monitoring outside. Lin Yan couldn't help being dumbfounded. For a person who owns such a house in this city where land is very expensive, even if the child is hospitalized in the United States, it is enough to go back and forth every day. How could he not even catch up with the child for the last time.
After parking the car outside the yard, Lin Yan woke up Xiao Yu who was in a daze in the co-pilot, and coaxed him to say, "I know you're not happy if I drive you away, but I really want to get this matter done, so don't make trouble later. Here?" After speaking, he leaned on the cushion and said comfortably: "I really understand the mood of that little boy. When I was a child, my parents were also busy, and I only came home once a week. I cooked and slept by myself. I was afraid of the dark. I look forward to my parents coming back suddenly."
"But I know my parents miss me too. Although they are busy, they never forget to buy a bunch of delicious food every time they go home." Lin Yan changed his position and lay on his side, grabbing a strand of Xiao Yu's hair and pointing at it. Going around in circles, he said excitedly: "Although humans and ghosts have different paths, the reunion of father and son is always exciting, right?"
Xiao Yu nodded, pecked Lin Yan's face with his lips, and said slowly, "Let's go."
"Young Master Xiao, you are finally willing to talk to me. It's really difficult to serve me." Lin Yan muttered and opened the car door.
The owner's yard is well-maintained, with all kinds of seasonal flowers in full bloom. You can smell the warm fragrance floating in the summer night when you wait outside the door. Not far away, there are many koi carp crowded together in a shallow pool , The sound of splashing water when shaking his head and tail makes people feel indescribably lazy and comfortable.
Lin Yan waited for a few minutes, a woman dressed as a nanny ran out of the villa, and looked at him warily through the hollowed-out courtyard door. Lin Yan explained that he came for Zhou Jintian's business, and the nanny ran back at a staggering pace. This time, it took almost twenty minutes for the gate to open. Lin Yan straightened his shirt, walked across the stone-paved path, and rang the doorbell of the small building.
With a creak, the heavy Victorian-style wooden door opened a gap, and a middle-aged man poked his head out from the door, hesitantly asking, "Who are you?"
Lin Yan smiled politely: "My name is Lin Yan, and I'm a student of X University. You are Mr. Zhou, right? I'm here for your son Zhou Jintian." As he spoke, he handed over his student ID card respectfully. The owner checked it in doubt, and after confirming that there was no problem, he opened the door a little wider, but he still didn't intend to let him in.
"My son just passed away some time ago, what can you do?"
Even though it was backlit, Lin Yan could still see the typical businessman's expression on the middle-aged man's face, powerful, haughty, and calculating. He was only wearing a purple bathrobe, with a belt tied loosely around his waist, revealing Chest, slightly fat body, but it can be seen that when I was young, I had a good foundation. Now I have a little fat under the ears. I don’t like to exercise, or I only use golf as exercise.
A rich man in armor.
"I'm very sorry about your son. It's like this. I have a relative who is hospitalized in L Hospital..." The crystal ceiling light in the main hall of the villa glared brightly and dazzled people's eyes. Lin Yan tried to organize his words in his mind, but the middle-aged man suddenly interrupted him: "Where do you work for, right? I have paid all the money that should be paid to the school, the bills of the hospital and the cemetery have also been settled, and the commissary does not owe money. What are you doing here?"
Lin Yan hurriedly explained: "No, no, you misunderstood, it's not about the money, I know it's absurd to say this, you may not believe it, but your son's soul is indeed still in the hospital, he is waiting You go to see him."
The middle-aged man's expression became weird, and he held the doorknob as if he was going to close the door: "You must be sick, what is my son's ghost, Jin Tian was buried early."
Lin Yan frowned, how could he be such a father, and when he heard about his son, even if he was unreliable, he couldn't immediately issue an order to evict him.
"That's right, you know why something happened to Jin Tian, right? He didn't regret that you didn't see him for the last time, and now his soul is unwilling to reincarnate, and he is attached to my relative's daughter waiting for you to go back and see He, you may not understand, but it is very dangerous for a little girl to be possessed by a ghost." Lin Yan gestured anxiously and said, "Just like in the movie."
"If you don't go, Jintian's ghost will never be able to reincarnate. After a long time, he will not only suffer for himself, but may harm others everywhere. For the safety of my relatives and daughters, I can only disperse your son's soul." Lin He broke out in a cold sweat as he said this. A month ago, he must have felt that he had lost his mind. He looked like a trickster who swindled money, but what else could he do? Your son’s strong brain waves caused disturbances in the electromagnetic field in the hospital , causing an innocent 13-year-old girl to fall into hallucinations and die
Only then did the middle-aged man frowned, and withdrew his right hand that was on the door frame, and tightened the belt of the bathrobe: "Well, I know about this, I'm busy recently, you can contact the secretary, how much can I get you? Jin Tian will send you off and open your mouth, and I will ask him to write a check."
"I said it has nothing to do with money. If you don't go to see him, even if you move the bank here, I can't do anything!" Lin Yan was really angry this time. Did this person have a wrong brain circuit? Why did he only care about his son? Think of money!
"What are you doing, Dad? Mom is calling you!" A five or six-year-old boy suddenly came out from behind the middle-aged man, put his arms around his waist and acted like a baby, and suddenly found Lin Yan who was standing at the door, put his thumb in his mouth and sucked it. Sucking, staring at Lin Yan with wide-open black grape-like eyes. The middle-aged man lovingly picked up the child and carried it on his shoulders. When he looked at Lin Yan again, he showed an impatient expression.
"Who the hell are you? Mage? Lai at my door talking nonsense at night, if you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
"Who has been stuck at the door for a long time, and is asking for a bill? My mother has no money, so let him go anywhere." The door was pulled open suddenly, and the young woman in a purple bathrobe stood imposingly in the forest. In front of Yan, she had a slender figure, her snow-like breasts were looming in the lace corset, and her sharp eyes were like razor blades scraping Lin Yan.
Lin Yan was completely thrown into disarray by the situation in front of him, and stammered: "Uh, I, I'm here for your son Zhou Jintian..."
Before he finished speaking, the woman's face changed instantly, and she said in a high voice: "It's over, how much did you spend for the seeds left by that yellow-faced woman, live in the best hospital and buy the most expensive grave, his son himself You don't want to live up to your expectations, and still stick your nose in the face?" After speaking, he thrust the little boy in front of Lin Yan: "Look, this is my son, and I'm just a son!"
After finishing speaking, ignoring her husband's ugly face, she closed the door with a bang.
Lin Yan clenched his fists and stood in the dark doorway, feeling chills in his heart.
He didn't know how he got back into the car, and when he looked out the window, he felt that the whole villa suddenly became ugly, and even the blooming roses in the yard looked like abscesses. He never believed in the so-called stepmother and stepfather. He only thought that family affection was the warmest, strongest and most unshakable emotion in the world, but this time he really saw the indifference and coldness of people's hearts.
Don't test human nature, don't, because it is totally vulnerable. Lin Yan sat on the car seat and tried to adjust his breathing, but his anger was still rising. All he could see was Xiaoyang's aggrieved face about to cry. Son, how much does a child have to miss his father before he has the courage to jump off the third floor? If he knows what happened today, will he feel that he is unwilling to die
Lin Yan punched the steering wheel heavily.
Cold hands gently touched his face, Lin Yan turned his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Yu, don't mess with me, I don't want to coax you now, I just want to beat you up." As he spoke, he kicked the clutch hard : "I'll fuck him!"
Xiao Yu patiently pulled Lin Yan's wrist, pulled his shoulder to make him face her, her eyes were vicious: "What do you want to do?"
"What can I do, go back and ask Ayan to find a way to make that kid forget that he still has a father!" Lin Yan panted heavily.
Xiao Yu shook his head, glanced at the outline of the villa in the night, and said slowly: "I'll come."
"You mean..." Lin Yan stared blankly at Xiao Yu, suddenly understood what he meant, bit his lower lip after a long silence and said: "Before this, I always thought that I was kind and there was nothing I couldn't bear. But..." Lin Yan looked at Xiao Yu scorchingly: "I want to be a fucking freak all of a sudden, he deserves it!"
"Xiao Yu, I don't care what method you use. Before noon tomorrow, I want to see him come to the hospital to apologize to his son in person!" Lin Yan said fiercely in the dark cab.
Xiao Yu squeezed his hand and said softly, "Don't worry."
