After Luo Shaoheng sent the message and waited for a while, he did not receive a reply. The balcony was a bit cold. He finished drinking the milk in the cup and turned back to the house. The phone in his hand rang after he took two steps.
—Shen Mu City.
The name on the screen made him stop abruptly, and his heart started beating wildly. This was the only call he had seen the word Shen Mucheng on his mobile phone in so many years. It was not counted when he was in Switzerland before. , At that time, he did not have Shen Mucheng's phone number.
Just a phone call has such great magic power, it feels like the fireworks outside are blowing into my heart.
The corners of Luo Shaoheng's mouth raised, and he put his fist against his lips and coughed lightly. After calming down, he answered the phone: "Hello."
"Are you still asleep?" Shen Mucheng asked.
"No." Luo Shaoheng smiled, "waiting for your call."
"Oh?" Shen Mucheng raised his eyebrows lightly: "Do you know that I will call you?"
"I don't know." Luo Shaoheng returned to the balcony, leaning his back against the railing, "But I'm willing to wait, it doesn't matter if you don't fight, but it turns out that I have waited."
With a light smile in his voice, he infected Shen Mucheng through the phone, and gradually made Shen Mucheng's dull mood better. He sat down in the rocking chair beside him and said, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Luo Shaoheng asked, "Why are you staying up so late? Are you also watching the New Year?"
The finger that tapped the armrest stopped, and Shen Mucheng felt a little irritable when he thought of all the things that happened at his grandfather's house today.
He is currently the head of the Shen family. The old man is very old, and his spirit has not been very good since his grandmother passed away. In recent years, his memory has become confused after suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Sometimes he can't even remember clearly. Nian lived in the backyard, and except for the old housekeeper, he didn't like anyone near him, and his temper became more and more like a child.
In the generation of Shen Mucheng's parents, there were four brothers and sisters. His parents died in an accident in the early years, and his aunt was married abroad, so it was difficult to see each other.
He lives in the apartment on weekdays, and occasionally goes back to see the old man, but it is still a problem whether he can enter the house, and Shen Qiuxiong is like Chai Lang, who is ignorant of the sovereignty of the Shen family, and can sit down and have a good meal together. Evening dinner is also full of thoughts and secret rivalries, so there is no such thing as keeping the year old.
In the past few years, after eating with the old man at home during the Spring Festival, he would go to Jiang's house, which was requested by his grandfather.
Although I don't know much about the situation after the accident, I also know that it is thanks to my grandfather that I can wake up safely, so even if I am very impatient with Jiang's social gatherings, he will go there.
Grandpa wanted him to intervene in the Jiang family's business. Although he had no intention of doing so, it did not prevent the rest of the Jiang family from being hostile to him. The party was like a negotiating field, and he would feel annoyed if he stayed for a minute longer dry.
Since his parents left, he has never had a decent Spring Festival.
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Shaoheng asked without waiting for his answer.
"It's okay." Shen Mucheng casually pulled up the blanket at the side and put it on his body, "What about you? Are you watching the new year?"
"Hmm!" Speaking of this, Luo Shaoheng's voice became much clearer, "Not long after the guard, did you hear the sound of fireworks? Bah—"
"I heard it." In addition to Luo Shaoheng's voice, Shen Mucheng heard the sound of fireworks, "Are you happy?"
"Yeah," Luo Shaoheng paused at this point, his voice became softer, "I haven't watched the New Year with my parents for ten years."
"Why?"
"Because I broke their hearts." Luo Shaoheng turned around and looked at the fireworks in the sky, with loneliness in his eyes.
Listening to his words, Shen Mucheng's hand moved subconsciously, but it was empty. He looked at his palm. For a moment, he instinctively made a movement, but his hand was empty. He didn't know why. .
"Just go back." Shen Mucheng comforted.
"Ah." Luo Shaoheng responded lightly, and changed the subject, "Are you eating dumplings today?"
Are you eating dumplings? Shen Mucheng thought for a while, but he really didn't pay attention to what he ate today, so he casually muddled through it.
The two chatted for a while, and Luo Shaoheng noticed that Shen Mucheng's voice was a little tired, so he told him to go to rest, and hung up the phone on his own initiative.
Putting the phone aside, Shen Mucheng closed his eyes, and lay down on the chair for a long time before getting up and going back to the room.
On the seventh day of the new year, Luo Shaoheng went to the city hospital on the first day of normal work at the hospital, looking for the doctor who had identified the death of Shen Mucheng, but he did not expect that the other party had resigned in the same year and did not know where he was going.
"You said the other party has resigned?" Chen Zhan frowned.
"Yes." Luo Shaoheng nodded. He tried to find out what happened back then, but the hospital said that it was too long ago to find out, and it took him a lot of effort to get the news of the other party's resignation.
"Strange, according to what you said, the doctor should be at the director level. How could he suddenly resign? Unless..."
"I understand." Luo Shaoheng understood what he meant. Although the matter has not been clarified yet, he can guess that there is something hidden in the matter based on the information he has learned now.
"What are you going to do? Want to help?" Chen Zhan asked.
"Well, help me check to see if I can find some news."
"Okay." Chen Zhan said as he took out a document from the bag next to him and handed it to him, "Look at it."
"What is it?" Luo Shaoheng took it over and opened it, his hand froze as soon as he took out half of the information inside.
The person on the file is Shen Mucheng.
He looked up at Chen Zhan: "This..."
"I asked someone to help with the investigation temporarily. There is not much information, just some simple information." Chen Zhan paused, "Shen family in City B, do you know?"
"I've heard a little bit." Luo Shaoheng took out the information.
For example, what Chen Zhan said was very little information, just some simple personal information, but these alone were a lot to Luo Shaoheng.
When Shen Mucheng lost his memory back then, all he could know was Shen Mucheng's words, and even the ID card was dragged by him to help. Now he finally knows the real information about Shen Mucheng.
"Shen Mucheng is the current person in charge of the Shen family. The existence of the Shen family in City B is just like that of your Luo family here." Chen Zhan looked at him seriously, "Do you understand what I mean? If you To go to him, you have to be mentally prepared."
Luo Shaoheng was silent for a while, looked up at him and smiled, "Are you afraid that what happened back then will happen again?"
"Are you still in the mood to joke?" Chen Zhan frowned, "The Luo family won't embarrass you, but what about the Shen family?"
"Okay, I know what you're worried about." Luo Shaoheng said, "But no matter what happens again, it won't be able to stop me."
When he said this, his eyes were firm, with determination without hesitation. Chen Zhan knew him well and knew that it was useless to say anything, so he stopped trying to persuade him: "Take care of yourself."
"Don't worry." Luo Shaoheng put away the information.
After separating from Chen Zhan, Luo Shaoheng went back to the resort, and then booked a ticket to City B.
After taxiing on the ground for a while, the plane took off slowly. Luo Shaoheng looked at the ground that was getting farther and farther away, and his mood was like an airplane soaring into the sky. Over the years, he has never looked forward to any trip like this one.
"Finally..." He reached out and pressed his hand on the glass window, as if pressing on a cloud.
The time pointed to four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Mucheng picked up the coat at the side, put it on and walked out, Shen Yun hurriedly followed.
When passing through the corridor, I can see from the huge French windows that the rain outside is very heavy, and the whole city is shrouded in a layer of fog, gloomy.
"Boss, it's been raining for a whole day, and it won't stop for a while, why don't I go pick up Mr. Luo?" Shen Yun suggested.
"It doesn't matter." Shen Mucheng kept walking, and entered the elevator together with him.
The elevator went straight down to the underground parking lot, and the two got in the car and left.
Luo Shaoheng did not expect that there would be such a heavy rain in City B. When he left the barn door, the person next to him kindly borrowed half of the umbrella for him to come out together.
Dragging his suitcase to the gate of the airport, Luo Shaoheng regretted letting Shen Mucheng pick him up when he saw the torrential rain. Not sure if Shen Mu City has arrived, Luo Shaoheng planned to call him, but before he took out his phone, he saw a black car parked opposite, the driver's door was pushed open, Shen Yun took off the black umbrella, walked to Pulling the door behind, Shen Mucheng got out of the car.
The moment he saw the other party, Luo Shaoheng felt that the surrounding voices were suddenly far away from him, and there was only the person walking towards him slowly in front of him.
Seeing the other party getting closer, his face gradually becoming clear in the rain, he suddenly felt that the pain of the past ten years had been wiped away by the person in front of him, leaving only the sweet past between the two of them.
— After waiting for so many years, I finally waited for you to come to me again.
