Fenghua Zhengmao

Chapter 10

black world.

Going forward, aimlessly.

To grope, to seek, to detect, to touch.

There is nothing, even nothing under your feet.

Lin Hua woke up from the weightlessness, his whole body was icy, and there was only a dark silhouette in sight. He opened his eyes wide, and grasped the sheets under him tightly almost in fear. Only then did he see his pupils focus slightly, his breathing became heavy, and all of a sudden, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The back was pressed against the bed board, and Lin Hua sat up slowly from the bed when her eyes had completely adapted to the darkness. The thin quilt slid down to her waist, and the back of the T-shirt she wore for sleeping was completely soaked. After a while, he covered his face with his hands until his breathing stabilized, then got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, looking at her silhouette in the mirror in the dark, Lin Hua suddenly felt a little familiar.

Such a scene, this picture, seemed to have appeared before, but he forgot about it.

Turned on the faucet to wash his face, the temperature difference between cold and hot made him break out in cold sweat again, his clothes sticky to his body was really uncomfortable, Lin Hua closed the door, took off his clothes, turned on the nozzle, the sound of water filled the small space all of a sudden Dark, inexplicably deafening.

The water washed his body over and over again, and his numb limbs began to recover.

Lin Hua leaned against the wall and let the hot water flow freely from his head, the feeling of lingering fear in his heart gradually faded, and at the same time when this real touch was verified, he dared to recall everything in the dream just now.

Very pure black, not fog, and no pattern. It seems to be a space, but it has no scope. At that time, I just want to find something different from the black. I have no direction. I only know where the body is facing, which is the front .

But it felt so powerless that even despair was an emotion.

Numbness, nothing but numbness remains.

Everything is done in order to find something different from Hei, but gradually, people are still looking for it, but they have forgotten their purpose.

Lin Hua took a deep breath, raised his face to face the water, the hot water flowed down his pointed chin, in the steaming space, his face did not become rosy, but paler.

pale……

In that case, any thought seemed so pale until—

Discover that even you are not real.

"Dong dong—hua?"

The sound of knocking on the door came muffled with the sound of wind and thunder, Lin Hua was so startled that her breathing became stagnant, water flowed into her nose, and she suddenly coughed.

When Fenglei heard the sound and pushed the door in, Linhua's face was flushed from coughing, Fenglei hastily turned off the water, dragged Linhua into his arms, held his chest with one hand, and gently patted his chest with the other. back.

The cough gradually became smaller, and when Lin Hua calmed down completely, the water vapor had already flooded Feng Lei's body, so he wrapped Lin Hua in a bath towel and opened the bathroom door. Although it wasn't so hot outside, the temperature didn't seem cool either. .

"Would you like some water?" Feng Lei helped him onto the bed, saw that he had already started to brush his hair, so he sat on the chair opposite and asked in a low voice.

"No need." Lin Hua replied while wiping his hair, his voice was a little hoarse because of the violent cough just now, he coughed twice after speaking, obviously not very comfortable.

Fenglei felt helpless, got up and went outside to pour water, and when he came back, he turned on the light.

The sudden light made Lin Hua very uncomfortable, his eyes became sore and his nose was sore at the same time, he closed his eyes and turned his face into the towel for wiping his head, but was pulled into his arms by the wind and thunder in the next second , raised his head.

"Did you cry just now?"

Feng Lei looked at Lin Hua's red eyes, the eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

"……No."

Lin Hua turned her head away from the backlight, her eyelids were half drooped, and her eyesight began to recover slowly.

Feng Lei let go of his hand, watching him continue to wipe his hair, the original worry in his heart suddenly seemed a little ridiculous.

The person in front of him doesn't say anything, and hides everything by himself. To him, he seems to be just a companion. He doesn't need to know anything, as long as he is by his side.

Is it his own behavior that makes him so distrustful?

Fenglei passed the water over.

"After drinking water, go to bed early."

Stop rubbing your hair.

Lin Hua put down the towel, took the water glass and looked up at him, "What about you?"

"I'm going to sleep too." Fenglei smiled, raised his hand to rub his wet hair, "I'm going out first."

"Ah."

Holding the water glass, Lin Hua watched Feng Lei walk out of the door with steady steps, helped him turn off the light before going out, then turned around and closed the door for him with a smile.

The light from outside poured in, illuminating Feng Lei as a black silhouette, the orange light shrank inch by inch as the gap between the doors became smaller, and finally blocked Feng Lei from the door, and the last ray of light disappeared with the sound of closing the door .

"boom--"

The originally soft voice was infinitely amplified in Lin Hua's ears at this moment, roaring to the brain, shattering the shell, causing the vague memories inside the shell to flood in like a tide.

——Go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow.

Dad said, and slowly closed the door, just like today, the light illuminated him as a silhouette, gradually disappeared with the movement of closing the door, and finally, the door lock was lightly opened, all the light was blocked from the door, and he, Surrounded by the darkness of the room, it was eerily quiet.

The water glass in his hand swung out half of it, and the cold water soaked the thin quilt, and the chill suddenly became biting.

On a midsummer night, Linhua felt as cold as winter.

After the exhortation, the bad news came the next day, what was I doing at that time?

Lin Hua trembled all over, put the water glass on the table with trembling hands, raised her hand to touch her face, the wet and cool touch recalled the familiarity of that moment.

——The cold mirror, the pale face, the water drops flowing down the river, and the sudden pain of the hot and cold touch.

That day, he woke up from a nap, and was in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror in shock, but at this moment, the phone rang suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat, and making his heart shrank suddenly.

Lin Hua tightly twisted the thin quilt by her hand, her whole body was trembling, her eyes had already begun to appear false.

By the time he put down the phone and felt the hospital, the person had basically been dealt with.

Lin Hua was so stiff that she forgot to breathe.

This was the first time, the first time she recalled the events of that day so clearly.

So many times before, he didn't think about the bloody facts, those details, those pictures.

I only knew one thing, that my father was gone.But I have never been so deeply aware of the lost process and every lost picture like today.

The retching feeling became more and more obvious, Lin Hua tried her best to let herself breathe, but the unsettling scene kept repeating in her mind.

The pale wounds on the body, the body that has turned blue and stiff, some bones look unnaturally strange, the eyes are slightly closed, and the originally warm brown eyeballs are now as dull as dead branches.

"Uh-wow-"

The Adam's apple twitched due to retching, not because of nausea, but because of the physical struggle of being out of breath.

The sound is not loud, in fact, it is like hanging yourself. If there is no sound of disturbing things when struggling, the whole process will be quiet and painful.

I don't know how long it has passed, Lin Hua lay on the bed crookedly, his whole body was drenched with cold sweat, his Adam's apple still twitched upwards from time to time, but his whole body, as if he died in this darkness, was completely open. His non-reflective eyes silently breathed out the only air that could prove that he was still alive.

Early the next morning, Fenglei looked at Linhua's still closed door, silently prepared breakfast, and went out quietly.

Inside the door, Lin Hua heard the sound of the door closing from outside, and opened her eyes that had been extremely dry all night.

The light came through the heavy curtains, driving away all the darkness. Looking at the familiar furniture, Lin Hua finally closed her eyes with peace of mind, tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and the silent crying lasted for a few seconds. Tears began to burst into roars, and eventually turned into wailing stuffed under the quilt.

The glare of the sun burned the skin, and people on the street hurried forward, trying to reduce the time they were exposed to the sun.

Linhua stood in a cool place, looking gloomy at the Feng's Building not far away, people coming in and out all the time, until the shade in this corner was getting smaller and smaller, he raised his hand and rubbed himself because of several times. Tian didn't have a good rest and stiff face, making himself look better.

"Hello, my name is Linhua, I'm here to find Fenglei." Linhua said to the reception staff coldly, while waiting for the other party to ask for instructions, he looked at the enterprise display opposite.

"Mr. Lin," the receptionist smiled and put down the phone to call him. Lin Hua turned to look at her, "Boss Feng told you to go up now."

Lin Hua nodded and followed her to the elevator room. The reception lady pressed the floor and watched the elevator door close with a smile.

After a while, the elevator stopped and the door opened. When Lin Hua stepped out, she saw Feng Lei was already waiting outside, and walked over with a smile. Feng Lei just patted his arm, and then the two walked towards Feng Lei's office go.

The decoration of the office is not very fashionable, on the contrary, there is a kind of calm ancient charm everywhere.

Lin Hua sat down on the carved sofa, and Feng Lei came over with a transparent glass.

"I thought you'd give me a cup of tea."

Feng Lei sat down on the side sofa, looked around his office, and smiled silently.

"The decoration of the previous generation, plus I have been here since I was a child, and I have feelings, so I don't want to change it."

"Your father?" Lin Hua took a sip of cold water, and the original heat was much better.

"Yeah." Feng Lei was vague, and pulled the ashtray on the table over, ready to light a cigarette.

Lin Hua's brows twitched when stimulated by this action, she watched him light a cigarette, then turned her head to look around carefully.

"Huh?" Lin Hua stood up suddenly, walked around the sofa to the bookshelf on the right side of the office.

"What's wrong?" Feng Lei snuffed out the smoke and followed.

On one wall of the bookcase, the right side is full of photos. At this moment, Lin Hua is staring at a ten-inch photo, fascinated.

"I took this picture." Feng Lei said behind him, Lin Hua glanced at him, then turned back, Feng Lei smiled, and stretched out his hand to touch his waist.

"That year I was a freshman in high school. I met you in class at the beginning of school. After I came back, I told my dad to change the name. My dad didn't agree at first, but he found that I started not eating because of this. In the end, I really didn't like you. I figured it out, so I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to do it. When it was done, it was already a month after the start of school. This photo was taken on the first day of the celebration. It’s clear, but fortunately the words are beautifully illuminated by the lights at night, so I’ll put it on the watch when I take over the shift.”

Linhua let him hold it still, at this moment, looking at this photo, he remembered the incident that spread throughout the city back then.

In the photo, it is the hotel where we had dinner last time. The edge of the sign can still see the red silk that has been lifted up in a hurry. The words in the photo are a little crooked, but under the refraction of the waiting light, it is inexplicably radiant , and those two words are Fenghua.

Back then, Huifeng Wine in City Z was the best five-star hotel in the city. Whenever important guests came or had events, they would be held in Huifeng. That's why when the president of Huifeng announced the name change, the people in the city were so concerned and discussed, but they didn't expect that such a big event would be because of such a reason, and I, actually will be the source of the matter.

"Why Hua?" Lin Hua's eyes were fixed on it, and her voice seemed a little tense.

Feng Lei hugged him tightly, resting his chin on his shoulder.

"Hua, it's a wooden character with a word of elegance, that's what you said at the time," Feng Lei pressed his lips to his ears, his voice full of warmth, "Qia is a young boy, in the prime of his life, at that time I was thinking, the word Fenghua is born to be together."

When Lin Hua came out of the building, it was already two hours later.

The sun outside turned from strong to dull scorching heat, the pedestrians on the road were tired and lethargic, the metal reflected the glaring light, and everyone was immersed in the heavy heat wave environment.

Lin Hua stood under the shade of a tiny tree, the heat enveloped his whole body, and the coolness brought out from the building was quickly replaced, but he didn't care, with a leisurely smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.

It's ten past two.

Lin Hua lowered her wrist, looked left and right, and was about to stop the car. As her eyes wandered, she saw two people on the opposite side of the road. One was tall and dressed in a smart suit, and the other was wearing a long skirt. Her long hair was loosely tied, revealing beautiful neck.

The two looked over at almost the same time. The man was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a nice smile. After the woman was stunned, her face suddenly became stiff. It took a while to adjust, and she pulled the corner of her mouth tremblingly.

Lin Hua was made very passive by this state, so he quietly waited for the opponent's action.

The man raised his finger and pointed to his watch, smiled apologetically and got into a taxi, while the woman was still standing there with her bag in front of her hands, but her expression had returned to normal.

Lin Hua stepped down the cliff and walked towards the opposite side. When standing in front of the woman, her eyes were slightly puzzled.

"Qi Ji."

Qi Ji smiled beautifully, as if the gaffe just now was just an illusion, "Lin Hua, it's the first time we meet after the party."

"En." Lin Hua nodded, looked at her carefully and stopped talking.

Qi Ji just smiled and asked him to look at him, until he looked away and continued to pay attention to the taxi on the road, then he pulled his sleeve and asked softly.

"Lin Hua, shall we go to the coffee shop and sit down?"

At this moment, Linhua's cell phone rang suddenly, and when she opened it, it was a text message.

—— Linhua, I was in a hurry just now, I will ask you out again tonight, I have something to tell you.
