This change came so suddenly, Xu Li was the first to rush into the compartment, touched Zhao Ping's carotid artery, then sighed, and shook his head at Gu Shenzhi.

"died."

Xu Li inspected Zhao Ping's body carefully again, stood up and clapped his hands.

"Neglect. A small remote blasting device was installed near his heart, and a bug was implanted in the cochlea of ​​his right ear. The conversation just now should have been heard by the mastermind behind the scenes. In order to prevent himself from being exposed, the blasting was activated. device."

Gu Shenzhi's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.It seems that this is the first time that someone has been led by the nose at the door of the house.Lin Qian glanced at Gu Shenzhi, and only vaguely felt that Gu Shenzhi should have heard the name that Zhao Ping hadn't finished saying just now. For some reason, the moment he heard the name, the temperature around him suddenly dropped, and the cold eyes It seems to have been frozen for thousands of years.

"Take care of the follow-up matters." Gu Shenzhi didn't say anything in the end, he just explained to Xu Li, then patted Lin Qian on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the gate without looking back, "Let's go. "

<<

After returning to Gu's house, Lin Qian didn't mention his secret trip to anyone, and Gu Shenzhi didn't tell him the follow-up of this matter.Lin Qian quickly forgot about this incident, and the days passed day by day like this, and before he knew it, it was the memorial day for Lin Hefeng and Xu Ruyin.

Five years have passed since the car accident between Lin Hefeng and Xu Ruyin. As time goes by, sometimes Lin Qian can only vaguely recall the faces of his parents.But in Gu's house, the parents' memorial day is always special every year. Ye Lan usually doesn't go there, but Gu Shenzhi will wear a suit and formal attire once in a while, and drive Lin Qian and Gu Jingxi to the cemetery in person.

Gu Shenzhi always drove silently on this road, Lin Qian looked at the window, and there was snowflakes outside at some point, it seems that every year on the day of parents' memorial day, there will be a heavy snowfall in C City.Gu Jingxi sat beside him silently, tilting his head, wondering if he was looking at Xue like him.

"Get out of the car, it's snowing outside, take an umbrella."

Gu Shenzhi parked the car outside the cemetery, turned off the engine, and handed him an umbrella from the front.Lin Qian responded, opened the car door, opened the umbrella, and Gu Jingxi followed behind him.

"Tell your dad that you've had a good life these past few years, and don't worry, I'll wait for you here."

Gu Shenzhi gave a few more instructions, and waited until the two small shadows of Lin Qian and Gu Jingxi disappeared into the snow little by little, then looked away, flattened the back of the chair, closed his eyes and lit a cigarette.He wears suits and leather shoes every year, and he comes here every year, but he never gets off the car every year.Cigarette smoke slowly spread in the small space, and Gu Shenzhi's expression couldn't be seen clearly in the smog.

Lin Qian braved the wind and snow and walked towards his parents' tombstone, while Gu Jingxi walked beside him holding flowers.Today's style is very big, he struggled to open the umbrella, and he refused to let the snow fall on Gu Jingxi's body, and he was a little powerless when he walked with one deep foot and one shallow foot.He was so engrossed in staring at the road under his feet that he didn't notice that Gu Jingxi suddenly raised his head and stared at his snow-covered shoulder for a long while.

A hand was suddenly stretched out in front of him.

"Hold on, I'm cold."

Gu Jingxi said succinctly, looking straight ahead without squinting.He didn't need an umbrella, and he walked very steadily all the way. Presumably, he was afraid that Lin Qian would accidentally fall, and he refused to speak directly, so he could only use this kind of arrogant and instructive tone that he was most used to.Lin Qian realized his awkward kindness, smiled softly, and didn't try to expose him, just took a deep breath to warm his palm, and held Gu Jingxi's cold little hand back.

Gu Jingxi's hand was held in the palm of his hand, and it seemed that even the wind and snow outside the umbrella had eased. Lin Qian gradually felt that he was not so cold, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace, and the tombstone of his parents finally appeared in front of him.

The tombstones of Lin Hefeng and Xu Ruyin are in the corner of their row, two white marble monuments are side by side, and the two faces in the photo are smiling happily.I don't know who placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstones of the two of them, and the bouquets were already covered with a thick layer of snow.

Lin Qian handed the umbrella to Gu Jingxi, took the flowers from his hand, and bowed to the tombstone with the flowers in his arms.

"Mom and Dad, I'll come and see you."

"This year's snow is very heavy, it seems that such a heavy snow falls every year today."

"Uncle Gu and Aunt Ye have treated me very well, please rest assured."

He spoke unhurriedly, as if he had opened up the chatterbox as soon as he was in front of his parents.He talked about it from the end of the previous year to the present day of this year, as big as the holidays, as small as getting full marks in the exam, and he talked about everything in detail, as if he wanted to let his parents who had long since passed away, experience it again. A little warmth from this world.After he finished speaking in one breath, he felt that his somewhat empty heart was filled with a bit of life again, so he bowed, gently brushed off the snow on the tombstone, and placed the flowers in front of his parents' monument.

"I'll see you again next year."

he said softly.On the tombstone, the gentle smiles of the parents are always the same.

"When I was very young, I met Uncle Lin several times."

Gu Jingxi's voice suddenly came from behind.Lin Qian turned his head and saw Gu Jingxi holding a black umbrella, standing quietly in the snow. The big black umbrella blocked the wind and snow from his world.He came with Lin Qian every year, listened silently to Lin Qian's rare ramblings year after year, did not express any opinions, and then went back with Lin Qian silently.This was the first time he spoke after Lin Qian paid his respects.

"He only comes occasionally. When he comes, he brings me a lot of small gifts and reads story books to me." Gu Jingxi paused, then continued, "Every time I hear my father say that he is coming, I feel as happy as a festival .”

"At that time, I was very afraid of my father and thought he was very fierce. I kept wondering if my father didn't like me. Only Uncle Lin told me that my father actually loved me very much."

"Then he came less and less."

"Later, suddenly one day my father told me that he was dead."

Gu Jingxi spoke slowly, he didn't have tears, but his tone made people feel sad somehow, he took a breath, the tip of his nose was a little red in the snow.

"Uncle Lin is a very gentle person, I like him very much."

Lin Qian looked at Gu Jingxi silently. When Gu Jingxi seldom showed his emotions, especially for a person he was not familiar with, he always faced the world indifferently, as if he was born with an organ that was shielded from receiving emotions. .What made him blurt out these words that were too emotional for him in this snowy day, Lin Qian didn't know.

Gu Jingxi stepped forward suddenly, moved the umbrella a little towards Lin Qian, then tiptoed a little bit, and gently brushed off a layer of snowflakes on his shoulders.

"Shoulders are wet."

Gu Jingxi was very close. He was a little shorter than Lin Qian. From Lin Qian's angle, he could just see his drooping eyelashes. The long eyelashes were like crow's wings, casting a fan-shaped shadow on his face.A faint fragrance floated from his body, lingering on the tip of Lin Qian's nose for a long time. If I had to describe it, it was a cold smell like moonlight mixed with ice and snow.

But Lin Qian didn't answer, he just took the umbrella from Gu Jingxi's hand, gently stroked Gu Jingxi's head, and felt his soft black hair slowly slipping through his fingers.Seeing Gu Jingxi's cheeks flushed from the cold, Lin Qian smiled, took off his scarf, and gently wrapped it around Gu Jingxi's neck.Gu Jingxi froze for a moment, raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

This time, without waiting for Gu Jingxi to say anything, Lin Qian held his hand.

"We go home."

Lin Qian pushed open the door and saw that Mama Rong had already prepared a sumptuous meal.Although it was snowing heavily outside, the Gu family's fireplace was still burning vigorously, and the whole room was warm and warm. Lin Qian's forehead was covered with sweat in a short while.Gu Shenzhi went upstairs to change clothes, and Gu Jingxi also took off his thick coat.Ye Lan sat at the dining table, as if she had been waiting for them for a long time, and greeted them warmly:

"Come on, it's cold today, Mama Rong made lamb stew, eat it while it's hot and don't let it get cold."

Gu Shenzhi changed into his usual Tang suit and went downstairs. After seeing Ye Lan, he seemed to think of something and asked.

"What's the result of the hospital's examination today?"

Ye Lan had been complaining about her poor appetite and she had lost a lot of weight, so Gu Shenzhi ordered Wang Wenyan to make an appointment for her in No. [-] Hospital's expert clinic today.After receiving the order, Wang Wenyan did not dare to neglect, and directly contacted Zhang Hanqin, the person in charge of No. [-] Courtyard.Zhang Hanqin has always lived in secluded places and rarely attends expert clinics on open days, this time he made an exception for Ye Lan.

Ye Lan didn't know the reason behind this. After all, she didn't even know what the real job of the No. [-] hospital was. She only knew that Zhang Hanqin was a low-key man, but his medical skills were very good. If she could invite such a person to see a doctor for her, she would like to come Gu Shenzhi also spent a lot of time thinking.

"Doctor Zhang checked me carefully from head to toe and said I'm fine."

The rare time Gu Shenzhi cared about Ye Lan, it made her look happy.Seeing how excited she is, she doesn't even notice the smell of mutton, which she usually can't even smell, at this moment, so it must be that there is nothing serious about it.

Gu Shenzhi responded without showing any extra expression, and sat down to serve Gu Jingxi and Lin Qian a bowl of soup. Seeing this, Ye Lan hurriedly picked up Gu Shenzhi's bowl, intending to serve Gu Shenzhi a bowl of soup as well.

"No, you serve your own, I can do it myself."

Gu Shen raised his hand and softly rejected her.He is good-looking, and even the way he rejects people is very elegant, and there is only an air of refusal.Normally, Ye Lan would have been unhappy, but today she just put the bowl back to Gu Shenzhi's hand, and even smiled at him, Lin Qian thought, she is really in a good mood today.Sure enough, I heard Ye Lan say with joy:

"Not only is there no serious problem, but there is also a happy event."

"En?" Gu Shenzhi was skimming off a thin layer of oil floating on the surface of the soup, and raised his eyes upon hearing this.

Ye Lan wrung her hands and blushed a little shyly.

"Doctor Zhang said that I am pregnant, and it has been four months today."
