soulful game

When he opened his eyes, circle after circle of heart shapes made of shells caught his eyes.Surrounding the place where he stood, there were five circles of shells of the same size and shape from small to large, and from the inside to the outside.These shells were laid out on the sand, and they shone beautifully in the sunshine after the rain.

Shen Qingshang remembered the day when he was seven years old, picking shells on the beach to pick out necklaces and pendants for his mother.He knew how difficult it was to pick and choose so many shells with similar shapes and similar sizes in each ring.This person... I haven't seen him do such a stupid thing a few days ago, did he do it in the rain just now...

In Shen Qingshang's mind, the image of Jue standing in the rainstorm, squatting on the muddy beach picking shells.The rain wetted his forehead hair, and the water column flowed down his chin, but he didn't care, his eyes were only on the shells in his hand, looking carefully one by one...

A burst of clear tones interrupted his thoughts, and Shige was blowing on a shell in his hand again.Shen Qingshang is no stranger to this tone that is often heard from the attic of his own villa, but what he is not familiar with is a brand new tune that Ji is playing, which he has never played before, but is more familiar than ever. Nice to hear.

"This song is called 'Rebirth'. It's the melody that rang in my head while I was looking for shells just now. It's a song I played just for you." Shen Qingshang's soft and sweet voice echoed in Shen Qingshang's ears, and he was stunned. Looking at Ji, he slowly knelt down on one knee in front of him, raised his hands, and what he was holding in his hand was the one he had picked up in the attic back then—the seven-year-old Shen Qingshang regarded it as a frail one in the past. The one thrown away by a life that never returns.At this moment, there is still a rope hanging on the shell, just like... the same one he planned to tie to give to his mother back then.

"In Western Christian culture, showering in the rain symbolizes baptism and rebirth blessed by God. You came to this island called 'rebirth', read a story about 'rebirth', and drenched a symbol of ' Rain of Rebirth, I just listened to a piece of music called "Rebirth". Shen Qingshang, now you are reborn. Wear it, no matter what you have done in the past, who you have pretended in your heart, if you want, you will Put it on your heart, inside this shell, only me is contained."

Shen Qingshang's eyes were filled with water vapor, he raised his head and glanced at the gorgeous rainbow in the distance, then lowered his head and grabbed the shell necklace and put it around his neck.

"Does it look good?" Shen Qingshang changed his clear eyes to Shang Lu's expectant eyes.

Standing up, he stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the shell with circles of black spirals, and it just blew on Shen Qingshang's heart: "It's beautiful."

Just when their eyes were facing each other and they were looking into each other's eyes, the sound of hovering wings came from a distance.

Shen Qingshang raised his head and glanced in surprise, unexpectedly there was no ecstasy that a person waiting to be rescued should have, but deep worry and panic in that glance.He subconsciously grabbed Ji's hand, pulled it up and ran towards the woods.

They held hands like that, ran for a long time, and finally stopped.Shen Qingshang finally realized his gaffe, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held back by Jue forcefully to prevent him from flinching.

"Why did you run?" Ji actually asked knowingly, but he just wanted to hear Shen Qingshang say it himself.

"I don't want to go back." After a pause, Shen Qingshang showed a little uncertain expression, "Do you want to go back? How about we go back..."

Moe grabbed his hand with all his strength, and his five fingers intertwined with his. He fixed Shen Qingshang's eyes and said, "If you really want to be with me, Mister, don't run away. Let's go back to the outside world. If you still want to be with me when the time comes, I will take you wherever you want to go."

Horizon

Shen Qingshang was wearing a windbreaker, and surrounded by his subordinates, boarded the helicopter that came to search and rescue.The hem of his clothes fluttered in the hurricane blown by the wings, and there was no expression on his face wearing windproof sunglasses.

He returned to that world again, and became that Shen Qingshang who was always superior in front of others.Standing far away from him, she could only watch him from a distance, and boarded the plane resentfully behind him.

Shen Qingshang sat silently in the helicopter, eyes hidden under the sunglasses staring at the floating clouds outside the window in a daze.Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said a few words, which shocked the pilots in front of him and almost lost his direction.

He said, "Turn around and go to Nepal."

Moe, who was sitting in the back row, heard it too, and he looked up at his "sir" in disbelief.

Who would have thought that Shen Qingshang, the boss of the underground arms market in City S, the boss who controls the underworld forces in the city, and the high-ranking man who is arrogant all day long, half a month after disappearing from the shipwrecked luxury cruise ship "Hongyun", disappeared in the whole city. When the forces and even his subordinates started to move around, the first thing he did after his return was not to go back to S City to take charge, to suppress, cleanse, and adjust the changing forces of all parties, so as to maintain his position and business situation, but To go to Nepal - a completely unrelated plateau country.

"Don't make me say it twice," Shen Qingshang saw that the driver didn't move, and continued, "When I get to Nepal, tell Hei Yu to bring the supplies that should be delivered, and I'm going to the snow mountain. He should know how to do it."

——The snow-capped mountains and the setting sun in the distance, the place described for him in that treacherous wish.

A few hours later, they came to the sky above a private helipad in G City, Nepal, and the helicopter landed little by little.

Shen Qingshang looked out the window, this is a country surrounded by green mountains and white snow.Legend has it that this is the place where the Buddha was born, and it is the nearest paradise on earth to the specific gods.

The moment he got off the plane, Shen Qingshang's figure looked extraordinarily thin in the afterglow of the setting sun.He waved his hand and told all the men who came to pick him up to leave by helicopter, and the only one who was still standing by his side was Moe.

At this moment, both of them had changed into different attires from those on the small island in the South Pacific. The two slender men both put on overcoats.Shen Qingshang is still dressed in black, coupled with his porcelain white face, he is always cold and aloof, just like the eternal snow in this millennium country; and at this time, Jue is also wrapped in a long camel-colored cashmere coat, looking Looking at Shen Qingshang's serious side face, he smiled like the sunshine that could melt snow on the top of the Himalayas.

"We're here." Shen Qingshang said lightly.In fact, he can say a lot, such as... As you wish, I will come with you to watch the snow-capped mountains and the sunset in the distance; another example, is this the place where you used to practice, I want to see the scenery you have seen before; Another example, I don't want to go back to the original world, I want to go to the end of the world with you.But he didn't say anything, he felt that there was a tacit understanding between him and Ji that didn't need to be stated.

Moe gently took his hand, without saying anything, and pulled him forward.This is the first time, he no longer needs to play the role of a servant, following behind their "Mr." Take him to walk the road he walked, to see the scenery he has seen.

The cell phone rang suddenly, it was prepared for him by his subordinates on the helicopter just now.

Shen Qingshang took one of his hands and pressed the answer button with the other, and Heiyu's usual steady voice came from the phone: "Sir, things are ready for you, you should rest in town H first, It will be airlifted directly to you in the future. In addition..." Shen Qingshang frowned, Hei Yu has always been calm and reliable in handling things, what made him hesitate to say anything?

"Say." Shen Qingshang ordered.

"I know you're on vacation. I don't want to bother you with ordinary things. But I just received the news that the old ghost sent 'Slaughter' to your side. Be careful."

Shen Qingshang only let out a "hmm", then hung up the phone.

Slaughter - the number one killer in Southeast Asia, it is said that he is so elusive that he doesn't even have a photo of him in the police files. All he knows is that he specializes in assassinating high-ranking officials and dignitaries, as well as all the hard-to-handle number ones on the road.How could the old ghost invite him?He also released a message to deter the target of the assassination... It seems that this old ghost really cannot be underestimated.

But, why is he so persistent in wanting to kill himself?Just because he is Black Stone's apprentice?Or was it because of the entanglement between my parents and the old ghost back then?

Shen Qingshang hung up the phone, although he was preoccupied, but he felt the warmth from the hand that was holding him, he let his mind go again and let out a long breath.Since I have already followed him to the end of the world, why let those mundane trivial matters disturb the date between the two of them.What should come will always come, and you can't hide from it.What's more... He raised his head and glanced at Ji's handsome side face, not to mention being with this person, he would always feel an inexplicable sense of peace, as if any wind and rain would be blocked by him from their sky.

Small town

The quiet snow-capped mountain town is at the foot of the sacred Kara Mountain they are about to climb.The sky above the head is as blue as washing, and colorful prayer flags are flying in the air. The sound of chanting sutras floating from nowhere seems to be heard in the air, as well as the crisp metal impact of turning the mani sutra cylinder.

Ji and Shen Qingshang are like a pair of the most ordinary travelers, living in the most inconspicuous inn in the town, mingling among the tourists coming and going, enjoying the happiness of being ordinary people for a moment.

Shen Qingshang crossed his legs and sat in the garden of the small inn drinking tea.The tea here is not very authentic, Shen Qingshang frowned slightly, chewed it a few times and threw up.He looked at the person not far away who was squatting and petting the cat with the child.

Jizheng and a small
