When Mingtai saw Meng Wei again, he was taken aback by him, and after only three days of seeing him, he seemed to have lost weight again, thick stubble appeared on his chin, his eye sockets were blue, but the eye sockets were red.Mingtai hardly dared to recognize each other - he was stunned for two or three seconds before striding forward to hold his shoulders. "Meng Wei? What's the matter?"

The moment Fang Mengwei saw Mingtai, he felt that his face overlapped with Mei Changsu's, and all kinds of memories from the two worlds surged up at the same time, causing his chest to churn with blood, and he was speechless for a while.It took a while to squeeze out the words through clenched teeth: "Uncle Cui... Uncle Cui is dead..."

This sentence seemed to be a certain gate, and as soon as he finished speaking, tears poured out uncontrollably!Fang Mengwei clenched his hands into fists, using all his strength to suppress the grief that was about to burst out at any time.Mingtai looked at his trembling body and red eye sockets, as if he had been severely whipped in his heart, and hugged Meng Wei before he had time to think.

He is so thin!

Mingtai hugged this skinny young man, and he could feel his bony bones through his shirt.The moment he hugged him again, Meng Wei visibly froze for a moment, then his body slowly relaxed, his head pressed against his neck and slowly buried into the socket of his shoulder.

"... He knew at that time that he was going to die... but I didn't realize it..."

"...I said I would do my best to protect him..."

"He finally... told me to take care of my father..."

Fang Mengwei's intermittent voice was full of tears.From his few words, Mingtai quickly figured out the general ins and outs.He has never met Cui Zhongshi, only occasionally heard the name from Meng Wei's speech.In just a few words, it can be seen that he trusts and relies on this person.

He comforted him gently: "Meng Wei, it's not your fault. He should be implicated by factional struggles within the party. Even if you send him to Shanghai, they will still kill him in other ways. You don't have to blame yourself too much. "

Fang Mengwei was just silent when he heard the words, but Mingtai didn't know that he was using Uncle Cui's excuse to cry out all the sadness of his two lifetimes.

Mingtai also fell silent.In the face of the pain of losing a loved one, any words are pale, and only time can resolve the grief.

For this, he couldn't understand better.Therefore, he hugged Fang Mengwei's young and thin body tightly in silence, hoping to pass on some comfort to him.Tears are warm, and the heart is still beating. In fact, in this era, apart from laughter, sometimes sadness and anger are also proof of the existence of life.

His shoulders were already soaked with tears, but Meng Wei's crying was almost inaudible.

Tired of crying already?Mingtai was still worried after all, so he tried to call him again.

But Fang Mengwei seemed to be in a daze, neither moving nor answering, he just clenched his fists hanging by his sides even tighter, his knuckles turned white.So sad, but still restrained... Mingtai patted him on the back with distress, lowered his head to persuade him: "Cry out loud, there is no one else here, and I won't laugh at you."

The words were almost close to his ear, and the warm breath brushed over the tip of the ear like a feather, then slid from the side of his face and finally landed in the hollow of his neck.Ears and temples rubbing against each other, just like they used to do.Fang Mengwei's heart became hot, is this a gift from God?The stars have changed, everything in the world has changed, but he found that person again? !

His heart was beating like a drum, and there was an extremely cheerful voice screaming deep in his heart, reminding him that the most dazzling young man had returned to him again!His brother, his best friend, his...beloved...

However, the more cheerful the voice was, the more restrained he was.The painful memory of gaining and losing was too deep, he was afraid that once he hugged this person, he would disappear without a trace like in a dream!

Seeing that Meng Wei still didn't respond, Mingtai couldn't help becoming more worried, and waited patiently for a while, but finally couldn't resist the worry, and grabbed his shoulders to straighten his body.But he saw that his eyes were wide open, and tears were still pouring out of the already red and swollen eye sockets.

"Little crying bag!" Mingtai teased, taking out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.Fang Mengwei suddenly grabbed his hand, stared into his eyes and asked earnestly, "Sir...do you... know Mei Changsu?"

It was the first time I heard of this name, Mingtai thought for a while and shook his head.

Fang Mengwei's heart sank slightly, and he asked unwillingly, "What about Lin Shu?"

"Lin Shu..." Mingtai repeated softly, but still shook his head.Looking at Meng Wei again, the starlight that had just lit up in his eyes dimmed bit by bit.Mingtai couldn't bear it, but he really had no impression of these two names in his memory, and he didn't know why Fang Mengwei suddenly asked about these two people.

Fang Mengwei let go of his hand, forced a smile, and said nonsense: "They are my former...best friends...also in Jinling, I thought..."

"Jinling? You said Nanjing... sorry." Mingtai shook his hand back slightly apologetically.I don't know why, but I always feel that I owe Meng Wei if I don't know these two people. "I stayed there for too short a time, why don't you describe their appearance? As long as I have seen them, I can definitely say something."

describe?Fang Mengwei was dumbfounded.Mingtai's eyes are sincere, and it can be seen that these two names engraved in his heart are completely unfamiliar to Mingtai.Do you remember that the only one in the previous life was yourself?Fang Mengwei thought.At this moment, a thought popped out of his mind suddenly, making his heart tremble.

——If Mingtai is really Xiaoshu, why does he have Mei Changsu's face? !

Xiaoshu clearly...he clearly hates the identity of "Mei Changsu" from the bottom of his heart!Did Xiaoshu forget his previous life, or did he recognize the wrong person?

Fang Mengwei soon found the "answer": Even if Xiao Shu was reincarnated, how could he still remember his previous life?He struggled with his illness for 13 years, and finally his stigma was washed away, his grievances were cleared up, and finally he returned to the battlefield by chance and ended his life with the ending that should have belonged to Lin Shu.Although his life is short, he seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence, and he has no regrets!

The one who lives in regret has always been only himself...always only himself.

He will never forget that day.The weather was so clear that there was not even a trace of cloud to be found, and the East China Sea pearl that had already turned yellow came back with Jiebao.He should have guessed, he should have guessed!How could Xiaoshu's body get better all of a sudden!No... He actually guessed it... It's just that he didn't have any reason to stop... He didn't have any reason to stop him from choosing to live as Lin Shu in his last days.

It's just Xiaoshu, do you know that for those who stay behind, the pain of gaining and losing again is a sharp knife that pierces the heart, day and night, piercing the heart and weeping blood.

He put him on the throne with his own hands, and took away his laughter and soul with his own hands.In the years to come, he was a lofty emperor, but also a lonely and pitiful person.

Mei Changsu once said that he is a person who lives in the past, but he owns the future.Now it seems to be the other way around.He became a man living in the past.And Mingtai, if he is really Mei Changsu, becomes the one who lives in the future.

Meng Wei finally stopped his tears.That's right, it doesn't matter if Mingtai is Xiaoshu or not.For ordinary people, past and present lives are actually absurd dreams, right?After all, there is no such thing as their mainstay in the history books here.There is no Red Flame Army, no Meiling, no Jiangzuo League, no Mei Changsu, Lin Shu, and Xiao Jingyan.

"...No, they're not here anymore." Fang Mengwei finally calmed down, and he raised his eyes to face Mingtai, "Thank you."

He is not Xiao Jingyan now, but Fang Mengwei.Their Fang family, his father and elder brother are all on the cusp, he can't leave them behind, he must cheer up!

After all, Cui Zhongshi's death was silently covered up, and his wife only got a short letter from home - which said that he would go abroad for a period of time on business.When Fang Mengwei went to visit them, Aunt Cui was still nagging him as usual, scolding her man "I don't know how to think about my family at all"

"Let's go! I didn't even say hello. The house in my hometown has been tidied up! What should I say if the child asks me!" His speech is as snappy and crisp as pouring beans, and Cui Zhongshi, who is gentle and slow, is simply two extremes.After she finished complaining, she shyly pulled Meng Wei over and asked in a low voice: "Meng Wei, ask Nong something, Lao Cui didn't mention the salary in his letter..."

Fang Mengwei hurriedly said: "That's why I came here. Uncle Cui's salary will be sent home every month. If you need my help at home when Uncle Cui is away, just call me."

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Aunt Cui didn't show any politeness to him, seeing that Fang Mengwei was not in a hurry to leave, she even chatted with him about some of the family's idiots.After speaking, he looked outside the door again, and looked at Meng Wei with apologetic smile: "If Lao Cui was here, he would definitely think I'm nagging and make noise. Now no one interrupts me and I accidentally talk too much..."

Fang Mengwei forced himself to laugh, he had a feeling that Aunt Cui had already guessed the truth!

After going to Uncle Cui's house, Fang Mengwei's heart became more and more heavy.When I got home, before I entered the door, I heard my mother’s voice from inside—the song "Moonful Flowers" that my father and Uncle He both loved to listen to. The ditty is full of bleakness, and every word of the lyrics of the happy reunion seems to be ironic.

Fang Mengwei walked upstairs step by step to the sound of singing. The early autumn wind blew in through the open window, and even a yellowish fallen leaf was blown in.Fang Mengwei bent down to pick up the fallen leaf, suddenly felt empty in his heart, and thought of Li Yu's "Midnight Song" for no reason-who is the tallest building?Long remember Qiu Qingwang.The past has become empty, but also a dream.

The past has become empty, and the only thing he can grasp is the present.
