Rebirth of the Second Young Master of the Ren Family

Chapter 38 Chapter Recalling the Past

The warship was successfully attacked by the enemy, which was undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation to the few generals who knew about it.However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, they couldn't make it public, so they couldn't vent their anger, so they increased the amount of training in a tacit understanding, and made a group of soldiers who didn't know the inside story complain to the sky.

After Ren Ren proposed that method that day, he never had the chance to see his father again, so he was inevitably very disappointed.But he also understands that it takes time for his father to slowly accept such a vicious son and such a vicious method.Therefore, Ren Ren only boiled hot summer soup every day to heal the wounded soldiers during training, intentionally or unintentionally alienating the people around him, including Lin Zesheng.

Although Ren Ren did not leave any traces, no matter who he is, he is always very sensitive to the person he likes, so Lin Zesheng noticed it and was very confused.The relationship between the two has become more and more intimate in the past few days. Why did Ren Ren suddenly become cold after the enemy burned the battleship that day?Thinking back carefully, he didn't do anything that made Ren Ren dissatisfied that day.

When he opened the door and entered, Ren Ren was buried in writing something, until Lin Zesheng approached, he was startled, and hurriedly covered the rice paper on the side of what he had just written, trying to conceal it.

Lin Zesheng smiled lightly, and didn't ask any further questions. He just pulled Ren Ren to sit at the table with one hand, handed over the bowl with the other hand, and said with a smile, "It's time to drink the medicine."

Ren Ren just stared at him blankly, nodded after a while, and said: "Okay, I will drink. I have to write something..." The unfinished words are the order to expel the guest.

Such resignation made him very uncomfortable.If it was before, whenever he brought the medicine, Ren Ren always had a bitter face, discussing pitifully: "Is it okay to drink only half a bowl today, I'm really fine..." But now Although Ren Ren drank the medicine much more happily, but it made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Xiao Ren." Lin Zesheng sat firmly, grabbed the wrist of Ren Ren who was about to leave, and looked up at him.The usual smile faded from his face, and even the two dimples were hidden. His attitude showed that he didn't allow to escape: "What's the matter? What happened?"

"It's nothing." Ren Ren avoided his gaze and said softly.The ruthless Ren Ren has always been the best at lying. Facing Xiao Tianhong, he could still greet Xiao Tianhong with a smile even though his heart ached almost to death; With his father and brother who loves him, he can properly play a cute boy, but for some reason he can't pretend to be another person to the person in front of him.

Maybe it's too familiar and too dependent.He is used to chatting with Lin Zesheng, he is used to Lin Zesheng always teasing Feng Niang with a caring and gentle look, he is even used to his approaching, his touching, his hugging... Ren Ren is a martial artist, how could he? It will allow people to get close without noticing it.But he always found out when Lin Zesheng came to him, and he didn't even subconsciously fight back when he grabbed his hand.

The conversation with his father that day ended without a problem, and he felt uncomfortable. The first thing that came to his mind was not what to do next, but to tell Lin Zesheng all this, his grievances, his forbearance, and his dedication... But it just passed by like this The thought startled him.Before he knew it, Lin Zesheng had invaded his life so much.

Ren Ren knew that Lin Zesheng and him were two types of people who were incompatible.But I can't help it, I want to get close to the warmth he brings, even if it's just for a moment, even if it will be colder and bone-chilling later, I can't stop the desire to be close to him.It's like moths to the flame, knowing the way ahead, but still moving forward.

Maybe we could take a step back and get along with each other before, but what about after this time?His truce plan will inevitably be implemented, and Lin Zesheng will know about it sooner or later.How could Lin Zesheng accept such a vicious plan and such an act of mutilating innocent children?Then what?Will he face another questioning from Lin Zesheng?

He felt that such a cold accusation came from Lin Zesheng, and he didn't have the courage to face it.

Ren Ren lowered his head and looked back at the person sitting on the chair who held him stubbornly. His palm was a little cold, and the cold imprint on his wrist felt comfortable.Not daring to be greedy any more, Ren Ren pulled out his hand, and just smiled lightly: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Why bother to be too intimate?" It's just that the soft words overflowed from the mouth, but they seemed to hit on him with weight. Heart, dull pain.

"Xiao Ren! What's the matter?" Ren Ren's attitude finally made Lin Zesheng unable to maintain his calm any longer. He stood up abruptly, grabbed Ren Ren's shoulder firmly, and moved him towards him.

The brown eyes stared at the young man's face for a moment, trying to find out a clue, but he could only see indifference.I felt that my heart seemed to be falling infinitely, as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and the cold air emanating from my heart made my body tremble slightly.But his hand was gripping tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to stab his shoulder and never separate it.

A cloud floated in front of the sun, blocking the dazzling sunlight, and the shadows of the two people in the room were eroded by the darkness and merged into one.

Lin Zesheng's grip suddenly relaxed, and his voice also calmed down, as if he wasn't the one who lost his composure just now: "Xiao Ren, do you remember the one thing you promised me?"

"Well, remember." Ren Ren didn't look at him, he just replied lightly.It was on the way back to Binmen with Fengniang, Lin Zesheng asked him about giving away "Shengxiang Yulu" without authorization.Ren Ren was at fault, so he had no choice but to let Lin Zesheng make a condition, saying that he would promise him something in the future. At that time, he thought it was a joke, so he agreed. He didn't expect that he would suddenly mention it today.

"Tell me, how did you live in the palace." Lin Zesheng let go of his hand, turned to pull his sleeve, and brought him to the chair again to sit down.

Ren Ren's body shook, and he couldn't hide his astonishment at Lin Zesheng.What does he know?Why would he ask such a question?What exactly does he want to know?

Lin Zesheng's reaction when he saw Ren Ren made his guess even more certain.He had investigated what happened to Ren Ren before, but Ren Ershao lived a high-profile life in Benjing, so it was very easy to check, and he didn't notice anything wrong at all.Only the year when I was in the palace to accompany the prince to study for a year, there is nowhere to follow...

In addition, although he didn't see what Ren Ren was writing when he just entered the room, he also caught a glimpse of the hidden bright yellow, which is the color only used in memorials to the emperor.So, what exactly did Ren Ren experience with Emperor Tianren?

"Don't say what you don't want to say, just pick what you can say." Lin Zesheng pulled a stool and sat down next to him, and said softly.After all, he still couldn't see the trance look on his face, and he couldn't see him recalling some potentially painful things.

"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said." Some things have been held in his heart for too long, and he has no way to express them, and he has nowhere to vent them. He can only suppress those memories in his heart and rot them into poison.Occasionally, the poisonous gas would surge up, hooking his bone-piercing pain, and then fall back silently, brewing the next more painful torture.

He could only endure such torture alone, unable to confide in it.Today, someone actually asked...

"It's just a story about a fool, that fool fell in love with someone who didn't love him." Ren Ren paused, recalling his youthful and vigorous self.He didn't notice that the eyes of the people around him hurt because of his words.

"The fool thought, I love him so much, as long as I love him all the time and treat him well, he will fall in love with me. So, he followed the person he loves with a shameless face, and tried his best to please him. All he could think of was that A person, no family, no friends, became terrible because of that person. As long as it is the order of the loved one, he will do it, kill and set fire, plant and frame, with countless blood and lives on his hands, every night Being haunted by nightmares every night, life would be worse than death."

That's right, after the first murder, I would be woken up every night and couldn't fall asleep at all.Later, he had no choice but to stay awake for nearly ten years.Did Xiao Tianhong notice at that time that Ren Ren actually never fell asleep at night?

"In the end, the person the fool loved didn't fall in love with him after all." Ren Ren stopped talking when he said this.Just because Xiao Tianhong didn't fall in love with him until the end, that's why he was pushed out to be abused by others without pity, and finally abandoned without hesitation.He has been with Xiao Tianhong for more than ten years, his only wish is to make him fall in love with him, but he failed, so this is the ending.

"Little blade..." Lin Zesheng felt that the pain in his heart made it difficult for him to breathe, but he could only call him cautiously, and gently touched the top of his hair with his palm, rubbing it lightly, as if he was afraid of his pain will pass on to him.

"So I admit defeat." Ren Ren suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Zesheng. The smile on the corner of his mouth was a little faint, as if he was telling someone else's story: "But what can we do if we don't admit defeat? Even if we die for him, He is not rare, right? At the very beginning, I still hoped: I love you so much, why don’t you love me? But maybe it’s because I loved you so much and tried so hard, but he still didn’t You can fall in love with me, so I completely admit defeat."

Lin Zesheng just shook his head silently, bent his arms lightly, and rested his head on his chest.It was as if he had healed him when he was injured before.

Ren Ren's voice came from his arms, and it actually had a somewhat pleasant tone: "It's amazing, isn't it? It's just that I fell in love with him, and I was willing to do anything. Do you know, in fact, that day on the battlefield The water bandit I killed was not the first person I killed. You were so angry at the time because you thought I was too indifferent to life, right? In fact, I also have compassion. Really, I try to avoid killing innocent people indiscriminately , otherwise I won’t be able to sleep again. It’s really sad that I can’t sleep every day.”

"Xiao Ren, stop talking, I won't ask anymore." Lin Zesheng felt his eyes a little sour, as if something was about to come out violently, which made him almost uncontrollable.

"No, I want to say." Ren Ren pursed his lips and continued: "But there is no way, maybe I have killed too many people, I am just numb. The life and death of others are normal in my eyes. It doesn’t make any difference to trample an ant to death. So I treat those patients just out of my hobby of medical skills, I really don’t feel sorry for them.” Ren Ren raised his head, from his angle he could only see Lin Zesheng’s chin, and gently flapping lashes.

"So you see, people like me are really vicious and scary, you'd better..." The brisk tone suddenly stopped.Ren Ren raised his hand in a daze, touched the warm liquid on his cheek, got up from his arms suspiciously, and clearly saw the teardrops hanging from Lin Zesheng's eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Ren Ren smiled again, that smile was a bit erratic, "I didn't cry at all."

Lin Zesheng also laughed, and the tenderness in his watery eyes almost melted people's hearts. He asked softly, "Then why don't you cry? Look, I'm already crying."

"Maybe, it's also numb." Ren Ren said softly.How can it not be numb, hope again and again, disappointment again and again, despair again and again, until death.It is said that men don't flick their tears easily, because they haven't reached the place where they are sad.But after being sad to the point of jedi, there are tears that can no longer be played.

"Then, why did you fall in love with him?" Lin Zesheng caressed the hair of the boy in front of him, his tone was soft as if he was coaxing an ignorant child.

"I don't know either. In fact, he was not good to me. There are many women with bad personalities and many eccentricities. Under the sanctimonious appearance, he is obviously a shameless villain... But how did you fall in love with him at that time?" Ren Ren Thinking, yeah, how did you fall in love with him?

"It's ridiculous to think about it now, isn't it? It's fine to fall in love with someone who is not worthy of love, but to make myself dirty for someone who is neither worthy of love nor love me." Ren Ren looked at him , pointing his index finger at himself, but his tone was light as if he was laughing at others.

"It's not ridiculous." Lin Zesheng pressed his index finger from his eyes, held his hand in his backhand, and shook his head seriously. "Because I understand."

There were too many emotions surging in those brown eyes, which made all of Ren Ren's expressions freeze in an instant.

"I love you, so I understand." Lin Zesheng stared at him and said softly.
