Views:

At the moment when the four eyes met, Luo Shaoheng felt his heart tremble, the blood all over his body surged up, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he almost couldn't even hold the weight of a camera.

He had imagined countless times what it would be like if he could see Shen Mucheng again, but in fact he could only see him in his dreams.

He also thought that the first two encounters might be hallucinations, and he also knew that it was almost impossible for a person who had been dead for ten years to reappear, but he still had a trace of delusion, thinking that since he could meet twice , then maybe there will be a third or fourth time, and I may be able to catch him next time.

But now that the dream has really become a reality, he doesn't know what to do, he can't even take a step forward, and even breathing is afraid of disturbing the other party.

Shen Mucheng only glanced in his direction when he heard the shout, and then bent down and got into the car. Seeing this, Luo Shaoheng woke up with a start, and ran towards the car.

The distance was not far, and he rushed to the side of the car in a few seconds, but he was stopped by the bodyguard before he got close to the door. He stopped at Shen Mucheng's position and said to the bodyguard: "Sorry, please let me go!" .”

The bodyguard was unmoved, and still stretched out his hand in front of him, blocking his way.

Seeing the car start, Luo Shaoheng stretched out his hand in desperation to push the bodyguard away and wanted to pass him, but the next second he was held down by the bodyguard's shoulder. He was so anxious that he didn't have the patience to entangle with the other party, so he quickly grabbed the wrist that was blocking him. Twisting and pushing, trying to push the opponent out, unexpectedly the opponent only moved slightly and then counterattacked.

The bodyguard's skills are professional, Luo Shaoheng just learned some fighting from Shen Mucheng at the beginning, and after a few strokes, the security guard twisted his arm behind him, and knelt down on one knee with his shoulder pressed down.

At the same time, the car that had already started driving one meter suddenly stopped.

Ever since Shen Mucheng got in the car, for some reason, the person who called his name just now had been in his mind, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He turned around inadvertently, and saw Luo Shaoheng being pressed to the ground by the bodyguards. Let him subconsciously say: "Stop."

The car stopped at the sound, and he pushed the door to get out of the car and walked back. When the bodyguards saw him coming back, they stepped aside one after another. The person pressing Luo Shaoheng was worried that there would be an accident, so he still pressed Luo Shaoheng's shoulder and called out: "BOSS." .

Shen Mucheng's eyes swept across his hands, and his voice was slightly cold: "Let go."

The bodyguard immediately let go of his hand and stepped aside.

After getting freedom, Luo Shaoheng stood up from the ground abruptly regardless of the pain in his arm, the force made him dizzy for a while, but he didn't care at all, his eyes were fixed on the person in front of him, the familiar face made him feel Brief absence.

-It's him.

Whether it is delusional or not, Luo Shaoheng has thought about many times what he would say to Shen Mucheng if he could see him again. He has saved the words for ten years, but now he can only look at him blankly, and the rest of the thousand words are useless. I can't open my mouth.

Because he was too excited, his Adam's apple slid a few times, and after several efforts, he could only call out the name that was entwined in his heart: "... Shen Mucheng."

He looked at Shen Mucheng almost obsessively, and the ecstasy in his heart almost overwhelmed him, so that he ignored the strangeness in Shen Mucheng's eyes, until Shen Mucheng made a sound to pull him back to reality.

Shen Mucheng only felt that the eyes of the person in front of him were so hot that they could almost burn him through, but the emotion in the other person's eyes was so complicated that he couldn't understand, so he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and asked, "Who are you?"

-Who are you.

This was the first sentence that Shen Mucheng said when he woke up. In the same conversation, how Luo Shaoheng wished he could tell him with a smile like that that I am Luo Shaoheng.

During those few years when he was most ill, he always imagined that Shen Mucheng was not dead, he just disappeared, maybe lost his memory again, that's why he didn't come back to look for him. But he thinks it doesn't matter, it's good to get to know each other again, as long as the other party is alive.

It wasn't until now that he realized that he wasn't that powerful. Just these three words made the surprise in his heart recede instantly, leaving only his whole body cold.

This person can't bear it just by a strange look in his eyes.

—Maybe this is not him, it is impossible for him not to know you! You wake up!

—But they look exactly alike, even with the same scar on their foreheads!

There were two voices arguing in his heart, which made Luo Shaoheng's mood even more confused. He tried his best to force himself not to lose his composure in front of the other party. He pursed his dry lips and asked cautiously, "Are you called Shen Mucheng?" ?”

Shen Mucheng didn't understand why he looked at him like this, those black eyes were clean, but he felt that if he denied it, the person in front of him would cry.

"You are Shen Mucheng." Seeing that he did not answer, Luo Shaoheng said again, with a firm tone.

This time Shen Mucheng nodded lightly: "I am."

-It's him.

—but he doesn't know me anymore.

The joy in my heart was less than a second, and it was crushed by the ensuing loss in an instant. Luo Shaoheng moved his lips and said softly, "Shen Mucheng... I am Luo Shaoheng."

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Shen Mucheng's face, unwilling to let go of any subtle expression on his face, hoping that he would have a little reaction to the name, but he didn't get what he wanted, Shen Mucheng Cheng still didn't change his expression, his name couldn't arouse any reaction from him.

—Let me try again, he is so like my lover.

Luo Shaoheng said in his heart, walking towards Shen Mucheng, as soon as he moved, the bodyguard next to him stretched out his hand to stop him, he had to stop, looked at Shen Mucheng firmly and said: "Can you show me your right hand? ?”

Shen Mucheng didn't answer, and stood opposite him, Luo Shaoheng didn't make a sound, but just looked at him persistently, the stubbornness in his eyes was the same as before.

It took about ten seconds, or less, but in Luo Shaoheng's mind, it seemed like a century had passed. It was so long that he could hardly hold on until he saw Shen Mucheng waving his hand to signal the bodyguard to get out of the way, and stretched out his right hand towards him.

The moment he grabbed Shen Mucheng's hand, Luo Shaoheng felt like a drowning man had finally grasped the hope of survival. He almost trembled and pushed away the sleeve on Shen Mucheng's wrist, revealing a dark red scar on it.

If he still had doubts just now, now Luo Shaoheng can be sure that the person in front of him is Shen Mucheng, the Shen Mucheng in his heart.

After Luo Shaoheng moved to live outside, the problem of eating was solved in the school cafeteria. On weekends, he just ordered takeaway. He spent most of his time in the studio, and he didn't care much about what to eat. Sometimes he painted too much. It is not uncommon for people to eat only one meal a day when they are engrossed.

After Shen Mucheng discovered his habit, he took the initiative to take on the task of cooking. To be honest, Luo Shaoheng actually rejected Shen Mucheng's craftsmanship. The dishes on the first day were too salty, but on the second day he simply didn't put any salt. After eating for a few days, he became restless.

"Shen Mucheng, why don't you stop cooking and let's go out to eat?" Luo Shaoheng pulled Shen Mucheng who was about to wash the dishes.

"It's unhygienic outside." Shen Mucheng flatly refused.

"...but your dishes are as indifferent as your face." Luo Shaoheng looked at him with a bitter face.

"..." Shen Mucheng glanced at him, and went in to wash the dishes without saying a word.

The tall and indifferent man stood in the small kitchen with only a few square meters, washing the pots and pans with an unhappy expression. Luo Shaoheng looked at him, suddenly felt that he had spoken too much, walked over guiltily, and pushed his arm Said: "Come over, I'll wash it for you."

Shen Mucheng remained motionless, without even looking at him: "No need."

"Are you angry? It's alright if I'm wrong, I shouldn't dislike your cooking." Luo Shaoheng said as he was about to reach out to help in the sink, but Shen Mucheng grabbed his hand before touching the water.

"Your hands are not for this." Shen Mucheng let go of his hands after saying this, and continued to wash the dishes.

He held it for about a few seconds, and some of the bubbles on his hand stuck to the back of Luo Shaoheng's hand. After realizing the meaning of his words, Luo Shaoheng was stunned for a moment, and then his ears gradually turned red, and he came out in a panic. In the kitchen, go to the studio to do what he should do.

Luo Shaoheng originally thought that his words had hit Shen Mucheng, because they did eat takeaway for a while after that, he felt a little guilty about this, and always wanted to find an opportunity to make up for Shen Mucheng, after all, he cooked for himself. However, before he could figure out how to make up for it, Shen Mucheng started cooking again.

... It turns out that my words didn't hit him, but the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he became? This time we have to show our support.

With this mentality in mind, Luo Shaoheng picked up the dish in front of his eyes, and the taste shocked him! It's delicious!

After asking, it turned out that Shen Mucheng went to learn it specially. Since then, both of them have been provided with food, and Luo Shaoheng has gained a few catties in less than a month.

Later, after being with Shen Mucheng, Luo Shaoheng wanted to cook on a whim one day. Shen Mucheng was originally unwilling, but he couldn't bear his entanglement and could only let him go, and he would fight by himself, the scar on his hand was burnt that time.

Luo Shaoheng was in a hurry to cook for the first time, and accidentally overturned the small earthen pot that was cooking soup on the stove when he was taking things. The can was out of the way, and the other hand quickly pulled him behind him.

The whole can of soup fell on the stove, and there was a "clang" sound, which startled Luo Shaoheng. Shen Mucheng supported his shoulders, and asked eagerly, "Is there anything hot?!"

"I..." Luo Shaoheng was about to speak, when he saw the injury on his hand, his eyes widened suddenly.

A piece of Shen Mucheng's hand was severely burned, and some small blisters were also formed around it. Luo Shaoheng hated his own recklessness so much that he didn't even dare to touch Shen Mucheng when he was applying medicine in the hospital, fearing that it would hurt him, so he could only look at him helplessly.

"Why are you crying?" Shen Mucheng stretched out his uninjured other hand to rub his hair, and comforted him softly, "Hey, I'm fine."

"why are you crying?"

The words from the top of his head pulled Luo Shaoheng back to reality, and he realized that he didn't know when to shed tears on the scar on Shen Mucheng's hand.
