A day ago when he learned that Song Xuanhe had arrived in Nanshi, what quickly flashed through Xiao Yuanmu's mind was the dream he had when he went to Huaguo to do business some time ago. The dream was very vague, but it woke him up in the middle of the night. The plan I made before went directly back to the United States.
Before seeing Song Xuanhe, he heard what he said to his mother.
At that moment, the fear and emptiness brought about by that nightmare, after more than ten hours of flying, even if he forced himself to calm down and deal with work during this period, the fear and emptiness that could not be eliminated were soothed by his few words.
Xiao Yuanmu thought, even if Song Xuanhe really died in Nanshi in the last life, it has nothing to do with Song Xuanhe in this life.
The person who killed him in the previous life is either dead or still in prison in this life. As for the man who was instigated by Lu Chao and the others who was Song Xuan and the "golden master" in the previous life, he has never even met Song Xuan in this life. Xuanhe had seen it before, let alone had any contact with him.
Moreover, Song Xuanhe in the previous life is completely different from Song Xuanhe in this life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanmu calmed down a little bit.
However, these fears that he forcibly suppressed resurfaced again when Song Xuanhe proposed to return to China.
He thinks rationally, and is very clear about the people he arranged behind Song Xuanhe, so that even if Song Xuanhe wants to break into the virgin forest alone, he can come out with all his tail, and Song Xuanhe chooses to go back at this time, except In addition to going home to watch it, it was also for the movie he invested in. Any of these two things had nothing to do with Nanshi, and he didn't need to mess up because of a dream.
But no matter how rational he is usually, when it comes to Song Xuanhe, it is still difficult for him to think rationally.
He even thought that he has been reborn twice, and these two times have fully proved that there are indeed unnatural forces in this world that cannot be explained by science. If this is the case, is the theory of fate not completely nonsense? If the theory of fate is not nonsense, then will Song Xuanhe also embark on the old path of the previous life
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanmu suddenly panicked.
He ordered Yang Jie to keep in touch with the person who protects Song Xuanhe, to confirm Song Xuanhe's location and safety every minute, and to know everything about Song Xuanhe at any time.
This request made Yang Jie and the people who followed Song Xuanhe feel that he was a bit strange. Even Louis asked him if he wanted to control Song Xuanhe too much, and reminded him jokingly that if lovers cannot have mutual independence Without privacy and personal space, relationships are hard to last.
But Xiao Yuanmu couldn't care so much anymore, his premonition was always accurate, the longer Song Xuanhe left his side, the more ominous premonition he felt in his heart, even if he knew that Song Xuanhe was very safe at the moment, Knowing that it is not a good time for the company or the Xiao family to leave now, but he can't wait any longer, he can only rest assured that Song Xuanhe is safe and sound.
Almost at the next moment when he thought this way, he arranged everything and set off directly to Huaguo. Because he left in a hurry, he had already prepared to deal with the work on the plane, but for some reason, he never felt that it was too much. Tired, he became sleepy not long after boarding the plane, and then slept for ten hours, only waking up before the plane landed.
As soon as he landed, he heard the news that Song Xuanhe had gone to Nanshi. What broke Xiao Yuanmu's heart even more was that Yang Jie told him that Song Xuanhe had not only arrived in Nanshi, but had already set off for the previous life. The forest where he died.
It was hard for Xiao Yuanmu to describe how he felt at that moment. The scene in the nightmare and the voice of Yang Jie talking about Song Xuan and the news of death in his ear repeated in his mind and ears. There was a phantom, as if the next moment he would see Song Xuan and Shi Wu's dead bodies lying in front of him.
Under the surprised eyes of Yang Jie and others, Xiao Yuanmu drove through countless red lights and finally arrived at this forest. When he saw Song Xuanhe who usually followed him, he was waiting outside the forest and told him everything. After a few people in very normal conditions, Xiao Yuanmu's heart was not so tight until there was a sound of a wooden barn.
Xiao Yuanmu ran into the woods almost the second after the wooden barn sounded, and the few people who had been guarding outside the forest to protect Song Xuanhe didn't expect that the moment they turned their heads to report to Xiao Yuanmu, they would come out. He quickly followed Xiao Yuanmu into the woods.
However, as soon as he entered, he saw Song Xuanhe standing there safe and sound. On the other hand, Young Master Xiao was very pale. If someone who didn't know the inside story saw it, he would think that Xiao Yuanmu was standing in the woods just now. .
Xiao Yuanmu's angry reprimand sounded, and the few people who followed him backed away tactfully, and took away the young man who was still holding Song Xuanhe's wooden warehouse by the way, lest the two big brothers quarrel, and the people who followed him suffer.
Song Xuanhe saw that the people in the forest walked cleanly, and even Hao Ke was taken away, but he relaxed when facing Xiao Yuanmu who was showing low pressure all over his body alone.
He stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yuanmu's wrist, and led him towards the direction of the wooden house. Xiao Yuanmu didn't move at first, but just looked at him coldly, but he was standing in front of him peacefully, without a single strand of hair. Not less, and when he was still able to hold him and walk forward, half of the worries and anger accumulated in my heart suddenly disappeared.
"Do not be angry."
Song Xuanhe didn't know why Xiao Yuanmu suddenly appeared here, and he didn't know whether he was angry because he saw the poisonous snake and was afraid that he would be bitten, or because of other things, but he could feel Xiao Yuanmu's anger at this moment. mood is very unstable.
"I came to this woods just because I heard Feng Tong said that I saw beautiful scenery here before, and it was just a whim. This kind of small forest has been developed next to it, so there is no danger at all." Song Xuanhe explained : "And you also know how many people you sent to follow me. Even if there is really something in the woods, I have a wooden warehouse on my body, and there are those people behind me. How could it be dangerous?"
Xiao Yuanmu didn't say a word, but the hand holding him was so tight that his bones ached.
Song Xuanhe let him hold him, stepped forward to embrace him half a step and said, "Don't be angry, okay?"
Xiao Yuanmu's jaw was tense, the coldness on his face dissipated a little, he let go of his hand, and instead hugged him back, his voice was a little hoarse: "Don't make me worry so much anymore."
"This kind of grove is not dangerous at all. What are you worried about?" Song Xuanhe comforted Xiao Yuanmu because he didn't know what happened in the grove, "You don't know, when I came in just now, there was a man He also came in together. He is not only circling around, but also intends to go deep into the forest. I heard that he raised a few lion cubs when he was a child, and now they are kept inside. He is the lion who goes to accompany him. Think about it He's fine, I'm just taking pictures outside here, what can happen."
Xiao Yuanmu's voice was cold: "It doesn't matter whether he goes in to see the lion or feed the lion. You are not allowed to come here again. If I find out again, I may lock you up at home and prevent you from going anywhere. .”
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Boss Xiao, I didn't know you liked to play prison games."
Xiao Yuanmu ignored his joke, his eyes were heavy: "If this kind of thing happens again, I will play the game of imprisonment with you for the rest of my life."
Facing Xiao Yuanmu's dark eyes, Song Xuanhe saw the gloom and paranoia inside, besides the first time, he also saw his uneasiness and worry, he smiled, pressed his lips and said: "Okay, then The next time you catch me, I will let you be imprisoned for the rest of your life."
Xiao Yuanmu pushed him away, grabbed his hand but did not let go, pulled him to stride out, and said in a deep voice, "Do what you say."
Song Xuanhe let him lead him, and walked beside him with his lips hooked. The two walked side by side in the forest.
At this time, it was almost dark, and when the sun was about to set, the light cast from the gaps in the branches and leaves also became weaker. Except for the barely projected sunlight, the forest was completely dark.
The wooden house is on the outskirts of the forest, but it is the closest place in the outskirts to the inner circle, so it takes about ten minutes to walk from here. Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu only walked for less than five minutes, and the light cast from the leaves It is so dim that it is almost difficult to illuminate the road. In the dim light, people's hearing becomes extraordinarily keen.
The sounds of insects one after another, the rustling of leaves and grass in the wind, the popping of leaves as something drilled through the bushes, and the scales of reptiles rubbing against the trunks, small Hiss...
Xiao Yuanmu grabbed Song Xuanhe's hand almost immediately, and the two comforted each other in a low voice at the same time: "Don't be afraid that I'm here."
Song Xuanhe was afraid of the dark, and Xiao Yuanmu was afraid of snakes. Both of them tried their best to keep calm and walked in the jungle, but their bodies got closer and closer as they walked.
Compared with Xiao Yuanmu's childhood shadow, Song Xuanhe's self-conscious weakness of fear of the dark that most people have is nothing, and at this time someone is with him, in fact, he is not that afraid.
So he wanted to say something to divert Xiao Yuanmu's attention, and he asked, "Why did you come to China suddenly, isn't there a lot of things to do at the Xiao family?"
"It's okay." Xiao Yuanmu's voice was clear, and he could hear a tense hoarseness from it: "Xiao Nan is at the Xiao family, and nothing will happen if I leave for a few days."
"How is Xiao Lin's health now?"
"It's okay." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly: "As long as it is kept in such a quiet place, it will be fine for another ten years."
Song Xuanhe paused, and suddenly thought that Xiao Yuanmu's succession to the Xiao family seemed to be much earlier than in the book, so he asked, "What happened to Xiao Lin, and why did he agree to give up the position directly to him?" You, since his health is fine, you should think about retiring after a few years."
"It was just an accident."
Even though he knew that Song Xuanhe was not a flower raised in a greenhouse, and could understand the cruelty of open and secret struggles in the mall and the family's struggle for power, Xiao Yuanmu still didn't want him to know what he had done, because there were some things he couldn't explain to Song at all. Xuanhe explained that he didn't want him to be afraid of him because of this.
Xiao Yuanmu still remembers that at the beginning, Song Xuanhe was always jealous of him, and it was not until the later getting along that this kind of wariness and fear gradually disappeared. He didn't mind Song Xuanhe's defense against him at the beginning, but now he can't I don't mind anymore.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanmu's eyes flickered, and he asked, "When did you become interested in fashion design, I've never heard of it before."
"When I was very young." Song Xuanhe answered quickly, as if he was just answering an ordinary thing, and there was nothing unusual in his voice: "Even my mother didn't know it well, it's normal for you not to know, I used to learn from books and online by myself, and never thought I would be so talented.”
Song Xuanhe did not lie about these words. In the original world, he was interested in painting for a while when he was very young, but it was a very short period of time, and the enthusiasm of children came and went quickly. , and then he fell in love with other things. Until his mother died, he didn't know that her son, who had lost his paintbrush, would like clothing design related to painting in the future.
At the beginning, he learned fashion design, and it was purely because the first two years of high school were too messy, and it was difficult to catch up with his grades quickly. It happened that a studio teacher who had seen him paint chased him and asked him to learn painting, so he just learned it. No, I didn't expect that in the art test, after only one year of study, he surpassed other students who had studied at the same training base for three years or even ten years, and was admitted to the best art school in China with the first place in his major.
Later, he met a mentor who admired him, and the journey was smooth. Before coming to this world, he had already planned his work plan until he was thirty-five years old. Who knew that the plan would never catch up with the changes.
Hearing the undisguised pride in Song Xuanhe's words, Xiao Yuanmu raised the corners of his mouth that had been slightly pursed, and then suppressed it again. He said, "Did you see Xiao Shenglin when you came back this time?"
Song Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xiao Yuanmu's topic to change so quickly, but he quickly replied: "No, he seems to be very busy recently, I don't know what he is doing."
"He has returned to Xiao's house." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly, "Some things in Xiao's house belonged to him. Even if his mother didn't want it, they still left it for him. As long as he is willing to take it, those things belong to him."
Song Xuanhe did not speak, he was not very clear about Xiao Shenglin's movements during this time, but he heard from Zhou Nan that Xiao Shenglin had changed a lot, from the gentle and smiling young man to a lot more indifferent, maybe this is why It's his nature, or maybe it's because he suddenly changed his personality after being played with as a game after life and death.
But apart from these things, Xiao Shenglin was consistent with friends like them.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Shenglin should really thank you." Xiao Yuanmu said again: "If you hadn't known that something would happen to him back then, it would have been very difficult for him to save his life."
In Xiao Yuanmu's memory, Xiao Shenglin in the previous life died in Xiao Bocong's trick to frame him. At that time, he had no friendship with Xiao Shenglin. Once, but he didn't really take it to heart, but his death has something to do with him, so after he was reborn again, he thought about preventing this from happening, but he didn't expect that he had expected it It seems that he is not alone.
"At that time..." Song Xuanhe lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, you may not believe it. I had a few dreams, and there were many specious things in the dream. At first I just thought it was a dream, but later I didn't think of those things. But things have come true, there was a car accident about Xiao Shenglin in those dreams, so I tried to stop it, but I didn't expect it to be true this time."
Xiao Yuanmu's pupils trembled, he couldn't see his emotions clearly under the night, he said: "What else did you dream about?"
Song Xuanhe's eyes flickered, and he said lightly: "There are a few more, but I don't remember clearly."
"About me?" Xiao Yuanmu used interrogative sentences, but his tone was very firm.
At the beginning, he always wondered why Song Xuanhe would be afraid of him. If it was true what Song Xuanhe said, then it would be able to explain it. If it was before he was reborn, he might have heard Song Xuanhe's words. I won't believe it, but he himself has been reborn twice, why can't Song Xuanhe have a dream to predict the future.
This world is indeed a fantasy sometimes.
I just don't know why, Song Xuanhe's words can clearly explain all the strangeness before, but Xiao Yuanmu still has a trace of doubt in his heart,
He always felt that this was not the case.
"Yes." Song Xuan said softly, "I dreamed that we broke up. You took revenge on me because I forced you to be with me. I didn't know how to get along with you for a while."
Xiao Yuanmu recalled that Song Xuanhe did get along very awkwardly with him for a while, but that was before he was reborn again.
Fearing that Xiao Yuanmu would ask again, Song Xuanhe took back the initiative to ask questions, and asked, "How is the Xiao family doing now, are you sure?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuanmu answered the first word very easily, but the tone of the last sentence lowered: "Give me a year, and when I settle the affairs of the Xiao family, I will accompany you wherever you want to go." You, but within a year, don't worry me, okay?"
Song Xuanhe's footsteps paused, and as soon as he lifted his foot, he felt the hand holding him tightly. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, and was silent for a few seconds before softly saying: "Okay."
The two walked out of the woods under the moonlight. Outside the woods, Yang Jie and others had been waiting for a long time, and they were relieved to see them come out.
Yang Jie came up to him and said, "Mrs. Xiao just called a few times. I told you that you are not in now. She told you to call back right away."
After hearing Song Xuan and the promise, Xiao Yuanmu, who was in a very good mood, took the phone in Yang Jie's hand and nodded lightly: "We are going back to the hotel, and then we will return to the United States tomorrow."
Yang Jie paused, looked at Song Xuanhe who was downcast and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked hesitantly, "Young Master Song will go back with us too?"
Xiao Yuanmu turned to look at Song Xuanhe, just at this time Song Xuanhe raised his eyes, the two looked at each other, Song Xuanhe lowered his eyes: "Come on, I'll go back with you."
"Um."
Xiao Yuanmu responded softly, not knowing whether he was answering Song Xuanhe or Yang Jie, the lingering smile at the end of his eyes was completely different from the cold look before, making the crowd follow Song Xuan all the time He and the bodyguards who hadn't seen Xiao Yuanmu a few times behind him were very shocked.
The bodyguards didn't know who Xiao Yuanmu was answering, but Yang Jie was very self-aware. He took a step back, told the driver to get the car ready, and turned around to ask Xiao Yuanmu and the others to get in the car. The young man brought out by those bodyguards said: "Brother Xiao, that person is the one who just opened the wooden warehouse, but according to him, he opened the wooden warehouse before because there were snakes in the forest. The wooden warehouse that was given to him helped him kill the snake and saved Song Shao's life."
Xiao Yuanmu frowned, and followed Yang Jie's hand to look at the young man in his mouth. When he saw the young man's appearance, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, and he said, "Hao Ke?"
Seeing that Xiao Yuanmu had already looked over, Hao Ke could only walk over, and said calmly: "I didn't expect that it was your man who was saved. If I had known earlier, I might not have saved him."
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows, Hao Ke continued: "But since they are all rescued, the wooden warehouse will belong to me as a reward. If you have nothing to do, you should leave as soon as possible, and don't disturb the animals in the woods."
Xiao Yuanmu said: "I remember I gave you a set of codes for you to crack before, but you haven't given them to me yet, but now you appear in this kind of forest where there is no signal."
Hao Ke's expression was even colder: "Where I am, there is a signal, you don't have to worry, and I will finish the things you gave me as soon as possible. After they are done, we will clean up. Once you turn over your computer, it is my computer." The most regretful thing I have done in my life, there will never be a second time.”
Xiao Yuanmu pursed his lips: "Just give me the things."
Seeing Hao Ke entered the woods without looking back, Song Xuanhe asked Xiao Yuanmu: "Do you know him?"
"When I just developed a new energy source, he took an order to hack into my computer to get the information." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly: "He is very courageous."
Hearing the mockery in Xiao Yuanmu's tone, Song Xuanhe didn't know what it was like.
The last suitor, who had been unknown before, did not seem to follow the script, and even if he followed the script, he might not have liked Xiao Yuanmu either.
After all the calculations, Xue Mian may be the only one who really likes Xiao Yuanmu.
Song Xuanhe asked: "How do you feel about Xue Mian?"
Xiao Yuanmu paused, thinking of what those people reported before, a pleasant smile flashed across his eyes, he suppressed the best, and maintained a serious and upright attitude: "I don't have any feelings for him, even without you , and I will definitely not like him."
"It's a pity." Song Xuanhe clicked his tongue.
Song Xuanhe's tone at this time was far from the jealousy Xiao Yuanmu imagined. It was difficult for him to deceive himself and Song Xuanhe was finally jealous, so the suppressed smile on the corner of his mouth was really suppressed. He lowered his voice and asked Song Xuanhe Xuanhe: "Why is it a pity?"
"It's a pity that he likes you so much." Song Xuanhe didn't feel anything wrong, and even laughed, but just after laughing, he felt that Xiao Yuanmu was not in a happy mood at this time. Although he didn't know why, his desire to survive made him make up for it. He said: "But I don't like you as much, so you only like me."
The chill in Xiao Yuanmu's eyes faded, he grabbed his hand and said, "Even if you don't like me that much, I will only like you."
