Haisui's project has reached the final phase smoothly, and the municipality specially invited the heads of the two partner companies to meet. In the well-known hotel Hucheng Temple in Haicheng, I talked about nine o'clock in the wine and went to watch the lantern festival.
The lantern festival that started at nine o'clock, the perfect and wonderful performance, was very lively, but Mo Zhengyan was sitting in this seat, with a smile on his face, sitting on the other side of the VIP, and chatting with him from time to time. However, the smile on that face was always a faint touch, and it never really penetrated the eyes.
It was not until the end of the lantern festival that the group shook hands and said goodbye.
Today's itinerary can be regarded as a perfect ending.
At the moment, Qi Jian immediately went to prepare the car and was about to return to the mansion.
Song Lianheng approached and shouted, "Mr. Mo."
Mo Zhengyan turned his head and saw Song Lianheng smiling under the night, "I think it's still early today, I don't know if Mo always has Yaxing, go to my annex for a cup of tea and sit for a while."
It's almost twelve o'clock at midnight, midnight that hasn't arrived yet, and it's okay to take another trip.
Mo Zhengyan responded with a smile, "Then bother Mr. Song."
As a result, the convoy went to Song Lianheng's private villa.
In the side of the hall, the two of them sat down quietly, and the servant made tea and put it beside them. The scent of tea lingered, and it was very quiet. It was night outside the window, and the clock showed the time, approaching midnight.
After taking another sip, Mo Zhengyan smiled, "It is indeed a good tea."
"Someone gave it to my father a few days ago, and he gave me some. I thought Mr. Mo might like it." Song Lianheng also took a sip.
"Song always has the heart." Mo Zhengyan held the teacup, he looked up, "But today I specially invited me to come here for tea, not just want to chat with me about the tea ceremony."
A few days ago, Song Lianheng deliberately met today in private, it will not be a whim.
Song Lianheng put down the tea cup, and he said, "It's not just for a cup of tea, but also for a chat with you, Uncle Mo."
At this moment, it was no longer Mr. Mo, and he did not call his name directly, but he brought respect in it.
His words carried a certain deep meaning, making Mo Zhengyan stare, "Then tell me."
"Although I was in Haicheng and didn't go to Bingcheng, I still heard about some things." Song Lianheng continued.
Mo Zhengyan smiled and said, "This thank you has already been said, the family needn't be so unfamiliar and polite."
"Of course it wasn't for this incident to thank you today, but for something else." Song Lianheng said so, which made Mo Zhengyan even more suspicious.
Mo Zhengyan said, "Anything else?"
"July this time in Ice City, those accidents happened. I think you might have some misunderstanding about this matter, Uncle Mo." Song Lianheng said again.
"What's the misunderstanding?" Mo Zhengyan asked back, with a warm smile, "I've come to help Su He this time in July, I knew it early on."
"Of course she will tell you that if she didn't even say a word and just came back like this, it would be too rude, and she wouldn't be so self-willed." Song Lianheng replied, and he went down without a rush." Only this time, she still did what she wanted, and Johnson went to ask her to help, and she came."
"Think about it, if someone else would probably not be willing, that is, Uncle Mo, you will agree. The family has been worried about it. When you come back in July, you will be a little unhappy with Uncle Mo. Song Lianheng recalled what happened during this period of time. He vividly remembered, "I want to thank you, Uncle Mo, and agree to come back this time in July to help."
"And then I went to Bingcheng. Uncle Mo, you took care of July and Xiangwan, and Su He, I have to thank you again. If Uncle Mo didn't go this time, I'm afraid things won't happen. It's all thanks to your blessing to solve it so quickly." He attributed everything to him, and this kind of gratitude was a little unexpected.
But it was never a mockery, Mo Zhengyan saw Song Lianheng's expression, and the wall lamp was shining, and he was very serious.
Song Lianheng said, "What I want to thank most is Uncle Mo's accomplishment."
"I'm really confused when I hear these last two words." Mo Zhengyan smiled.
Song Lianheng was not in a hurry. He took a cigarette and handed it to him. He also smoked one. Then he asked, "I wonder if you have mentioned the past with Uncle Mo in July?"
In an instant, Mo Zhengyan remembered the things that Song Qiyue had said in the box when Song Qiyue came to him that day in Bingcheng, and he still remembered clearly at this moment, "I mentioned it."
"Then what else did she mention? Did you mention her and Su He's childhood?" Song Lianheng asked again.
Mo Zhengyan was smoking a cigarette, he said calmly, "Also mentioned."
"Then you must know Uncle Mo. It's thanks to Su He's credit that you have this ability at the age of July. If you didn't have him then, you wouldn't have the current July." Song Lianheng smiled.
Mo Zhengyan was also smiling, he vomited smoke, "It is indeed thanks to Su He."
"Thanks to Suh, I was not afraid of snakes when I was accidentally bitten by a snake in college in July. She was quarantined in the hospital and accompanied by him. Thanks to his examination papers, she entered the university smoothly. , Not to mention being scared by bad guys while walking at night in high school."
"Thanks to him, he was willing to play with July when he was young."
"You don't know how scared July was when she was a child, even Xiang Wan, she was reluctant to play together, let alone other children. The most disliked contact are boys."
Song Lianheng was talking a little bit, and Mo Zhengyan recalled that everything she had said before was still so true, it seemed to have been precipitated, but when he heard it, he would still feel suffocated and unable to disperse. He bounced off a piece of soot and whispered back, "I know all this."
"Then Uncle Mo, do you know what happened to my aunt?" Song Lianheng asked suddenly, and he reminded him, "It's not Aunt Jun, it's my little aunt."
Mo Zhengyan was reluctant to inquire about the past. It was only about the Song family and her that she paid attention to it. She only heard about it, "know some."
"My little aunt, Song Yuning, gave birth to a child out of wedlock, eloped with someone, and gave birth in July." That was once a shame for the Song family. When the grandfather was still alive, the family was not allowed to mention it, and it was the grandfather's death. Time is also the one that I miss most but cannot let go.
"When my sister-in-law returned to Song's house, July was already six years old. She was already sensible. That was the first time I saw her, my sister, and another sister."
Song Lianheng recalled that he was only a teenager at the time. It was an erratic past. Now he once again captured the little six-year-old girl with the stubborn, stubborn, and repulsive things in her eyes. resist.
"Do you know what I thought of her when I first saw her?" Song Lianheng asked suddenly.
Mo Zhengyan didn't say anything, but just imagined the scene, but a girl, what kind of appearance it should look like, it should be the same as Su Nan, with a soft voice, it looks good when he laughs, and he shouts brother.
"Hedgehog." Song Lianheng spit out these two words, which shocked Mo Zhengyan!
Song Lianheng described it, "She is like a speechless hedgehog, whoever cares about her, she has to pierce others, as long as you ignore her, she will be better. You talk to her and she will answer, yes. If you say it in one word, you will never use two words. But if you give her food, she will eat it too. I was wondering if she had a problem here."
Song Lianheng said, tapping his temple with his finger, it was intelligence.
"Why is this?" Mo Zhengyan asked in confusion.
"Because of my little aunt." Song Lianheng said.
This passage of the past followed one after another, and even Song Lianheng had a slight pause when he recalled, as if he didn't want to tell it. Another cigarette continued, and he said quietly, "Auntie was paralyzed when she returned to Song's house. She jumped from the third floor and broke on the spot. In addition, she was unconscious, so I've been lying in bed and can't move."
"In the third grade of elementary school in July, my sister-in-law passed away. Guess what July was like, she didn't cry. Everyone in the family said she was a monster."
"Later, she didn't go out for the whole summer vacation until Suh took her to Zhou's house, but she cried all of a sudden, and the crying was earth-shattering. Then I asked Zhou Suhe what he said. Zhou Suhe said that he was just right. She said that there are so many books in his family that she can never finish reading them and never worry about them again."
"I thought later that she was just a child after all, so I was still afraid." Song Lianheng said again, "Fortunately, Su He is here, she is not lonely anymore."
Mo Zhengyan couldn’t understand how fragile and helpless it was when he was young, let alone describe the scene, but the smoke stopped at his fingertips, he choked his chest, and there was a hint of faint pain in it. , His voice was even lower, "I really should thank him, but what does this have to do with fulfillment."
"Thank you for your accomplishment. Let her do what she wants to do. There will be no regrets. She probably can't speak, so how can she tell you." Song Lianheng smiled.
Mo Zhengyan didn't speak anymore, but in the silence, Song Lianheng said again, "Do you know why Auntie jumped off the building."
In the smoke curling, the clock passed twelve o'clock, the sound of dong dong sounded, knocking in his heart, and Song Lianheng's words were more like the sound of the end of the century.
"Someone broke into the villa where they lived and wanted to behave against my sister-in-law. She jumped downstairs on the spot.
"In July, she witnessed everything when she was hiding in the closet."
"However, she shouldn't remember these, because the doctor said she was too irritated and forgot."
...
"Why do you say this to me."
"It's nothing, anyhow, I also called you Uncle Mo, besides, you are also my brother-in-law."
As the car drove out of Song Lianheng's annex, Mo Zhengyan sat alone in the back seat of the car. He was surprisingly quiet. Just then, all of this came like a tide and swallowed his whole person. He thought about everything, but never thought of the plot behind it. Too many fragments were like film shots cut off and frozen, when the film was pulled out. , All with furry edges with folds.
He remembered why she was so crazy when she missed the knife.
He also remembered the various pasts before and after, the sharpness and stubbornness of her bones in her soft and charming appearance.
He even remembered her last words in the box that day, she repeated that sentence so persistently.
——I haven't finished.
——You don’t have to say any more!
He hadn't finished speaking, hadn't finished speaking, what else she said, he didn't hear.
He was interrupted abruptly.
The words that have not been finished, he had been so close to her, as if he was on the apex of his heart, as close as he had never been.
Mo Zhengyan closed his eyes, her bright and bright smiling face appeared in front of him.
At this moment, Mo Zhengyan thought about what he had missed and what had he missed.
That should be time, the most beautiful time.
