Chapter 3
On April [-]th, Monday morning, the sun was shining brightly, probably the best day of the season. I was wearing light casual clothes and pushed open the courtyard door. Unexpectedly, Uncle Bai was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. Wearing yesterday's clothes, with a haggard face, he suddenly rushed over when he saw me.

I subconsciously dodged backwards, and he rushed to nothing, not feeling embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are doing a treasure appraisal program on TV? I suddenly remembered that I have seen the person who sold my bottle before, so On your show."

Uncle Bai rubbed his palms while talking, then took out a cigarette from his body, lit it, and put it in his mouth, and followed me closely.

I looked down at the place where he just stood, and there were two deep footprints on the ground. The old guy did not even move his nest and waited for a long time. I quickly avoided the inferior smoke he was spraying, and quickly Stepping out of the alley, I really don't understand why this Uncle Bai is so obsessed with a person who sells antiques, it's just an excuse for him to come here again.

"I've got money, let's smoke some good cigarettes, old man."

"You said you are really different from your sister, you look like a tomboy, hey girl, walk slowly, I came to see you this morning." Uncle Bai didn't hide his emotions, he continued Looking at yesterday's excitement, watching his thick bags under the eyes become dark again, presumably such a huge sum of money made him sleepless all night.

I don’t know if you who are reading the story have ever had the feeling that it’s good to accept everything after it happens, but people’s most uncontrollable personality always wants to find out, and the things that have nothing to do with themselves or Once a person is mentioned, things related to this matter or this person will slowly gather towards you uncontrollably.People usually call this the law of attraction of the universe, and some people call it the change of the butterfly effect. I believe that some things have existed for a long time, but they have not attracted special attention. In fact, they will meet whoever and what they encounter. When the experience of certain details in life coincides, a perfect circle will be drawn in the end, and the size of this circle depends entirely on some of your own attachments or letting go.

As a person like me who thinks I don't pay much attention to clichés, I can't avoid curiosity.For example, two things I have been unable to let go of. Finding the hidden truth of the family has become my obsession. Maybe if I don’t have such great curiosity, I won’t let myself do something that I regret for life. If I choose again, I will never personally send Francine to the brink of death step by step for the sake of uncovering the mystery.

"My old cypress is greedy for money, but I don't really believe that there is a pie in the sky. I really know this person."

Our house is located in the most prosperous part of the city, but it is quite a distance from the main road when we walk.I don't want to rely on any strength from my family, except that I have to go home, and the rest of the time I am just a small white-collar worker who just went to work, so I often fight for the bus.I was running on the huge asphalt road, and a bus that was almost vomited passed in front of me, emitting a strong smell of gasoline.This Uncle Bai has been refusing to give up, babbling behind me, and his enthusiastic nature makes me very irritable early in the morning on Monday.

"Toffee, get in the car."

Toffee is the baby name Chen Siyuan gave me before I was five years old, because I always liked to cry when I was a child, so he used Toffee to coax me, and he was the only one who called me that.He pulled up in front of me in a Phantom and let me get in with a low pressure voice.Originally, I kept refusing him to send me to and from get off work, but in order to get rid of Uncle Bai's following, I decisively opened the car door, bent my long legs slightly, and got into the co-pilot.

The moment I opened the car door, I saw a pleasing face. I often joked about Chen Siyuan, saying that his gentle side face made it impossible to look directly at.Speaking of which, Chen Siyuan is a descendant of Fu Tinglan's maid, Ling Dang, who grew up with me. He is a warm man, and he treats me so nicely, just like his own sister, but there is always a vague saying Unclear sense of distance, or more precisely, respect as a guest, in his eyes, the relationship between him and me is probably the same as that of Fu Tinglan, he always understates my jokes, and never picks me up Just kidding.

"Your boss doesn't pay wages? You don't even have the money to take a taxi." Chen Siyuan frowned slightly, and he was a little distressed that I was sweating profusely waiting for the bus early in the morning.

"Hey, I'm saving money to buy a baby." I smiled recklessly, and threw a card he was handing over on the central control.

"You always have such a hard mouth, why don't you ask your family for help once?"

"You don't need to worry about it, I'm fine. Brother, I'll show you my new baby in a few days."

In the reversing mirror, Uncle Bai's figure was quickly left far behind the car, and the little black spot was finally thrown out of the sky. My thoughts returned to Fu Tinglan's abnormal expression yesterday, which was a kind of sadness Chengji's expression, I was definitely not mistaken.

I didn't have any mood to speculate about a lingering love story, so I went from one extreme to the other, whether it was my father who had died. When I had this dangerous thought, the safety system in my brain immediately ran out, and I was very upset. Stop denying your own assumptions. There is absolutely no other special human being in this world. Even if there is, it can never be my father. I am a normal person. The only abnormal person is Fu Tinglan. Repeatedly repeating this, I felt uneasy thinking about it, and opened the car window nervously.

Since I was young, I can’t remember how many times we have moved. Because Fu Tinglan’s appearance has always remained the same and is too conspicuous, but this time our relationship with the outside world has turned into twin sisters. I can’t imagine that one day I was misunderstood as her sister, or even my mother and grandma one day. Every time I think about it, I feel extremely terrified.

"Don't strike up a conversation casually, especially the neighbors, get ready, let's move." I noticed that Chen Siyuan's face was not good-looking, since he bought that broken bottle yesterday, he looked strange all over.Sure enough, soon he was like a repeater, his tone without any emotion, smashed on my head like a lump of ice.

Thinking about that time, I probably didn’t know how to express love. In fact, the affection for family has been deeply buried in my heart with the years, but I didn’t know that it was love, because the quality of everything needs a triggering condition. And our unchanging way of getting along made me lack of thinking ability, let alone think that the person who grew up together might be a stranger I never knew.I'm used to being taken care of by him, so I naturally went back without staying for a second, "I didn't provoke it, who made that person like to show off so much? Why don't you come forward and argue with someone in the ghost market about an unknown ritual weapon?" , she caused the trouble herself, I will not take the blame for it."

The ancient city of Bano is the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties that has gone through thousands of years. At the beginning, we came to this city as if fleeing, but now it seems to attract me like magic. I have 1 reasons to want to stay here, here I haven't played enough, I always feel that there is a future that I am looking forward to very much, and I don't want to move so soon.

I put my face out of the window, the spring wind here is not soft, blowing my short hair off my face, I realized that my hair is loose like willow silk, it seems that the chic I have been accustomed to for many years is just to hide What, my heart feels uncomfortable like being touched by something sharp.

In my memory, I used to have long hair. It was in my adolescence when everyone yearned for waist-length hair. I suddenly knew the secret. On my birthday that year, I gave myself a head of ear-length hair as a gift.I stubbornly wanted to get rid of everything that Fu Tinglan had given me. Her manner was elegant and restrained, while I was bold and unkempt; she had big willow eyes, and I wore a pair of big lensless glasses on the high bridge of her nose; Her skin is fair and flawless, so I love to tan my skin outdoors, and I don’t even mind a few freckles; she dresses in a dignified dress every day, but I always wear sports and leisure clothes, and I have nothing to do with skirts.Speaking of the fact that she never seemed to care about me formally, although I have long been used to that kind of repressed family relationship, I have always been a sneaky explorer, and her tears yesterday made me deeply concerned.

I withdrew my cute and confident expression, closed the car window, and finally squeezed out a few words, "Did she cry yesterday?"

Chen Siyuan was concentrating on driving, as if he didn't hear it, although he didn't turn his head, but I saw the corners of his mouth vibrate.

"'This life is eternal life, this life is eternity', such disgusting words were written by her old lover?" I didn't want to say such words at first, and I couldn't tell whether the emotion wanted to care about her, but no matter what I didn't want to say such harsh words, thinking that even this unrelated cousin could know her better, but why can't I be honest with me, a hot breath rushed into my heart, I frowned without concealment, pushed down my glasses with my slender fingers, and said in a light tone, "I know her secret, you don't have to hide it for him, anyway, I'm used to it, you have never been honest with me But, keep everything from me."

"Toffee, don't always say that you are so lonely, Mr. Fu and I both love you very much." Chen Siyuan turned his face, restored the previous kindness, smiled, and touched me with a hand full of love His hair made me even more irritable. There was no trace of lying on his face. Maybe the truth had been sealed by time, but my intuition was like a siren song full of lies. I don’t know how many more I don’t know Knowing the secret, even so, he is the only thing I can rely on.

Because I will never forget that warm smile like the sun. Fifteen years ago, when I was ten years old, my neighbors said I was the daughter of a monster. I covered my ears and hid in a corner of the yard trembling.Chen Siyuan, who was only 15 years old, suddenly appeared in front of my eyes and stretched out a hand to me. There was a reassuring expression on his clean face. I put my trembling little hand in Chen Siyuan's hand and gradually regained my composure, "Brother, I'm afraid."

Chen Siyuan also touched my hair like this, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Fu will always protect us."

I shook my head vigorously, tears drenched the front of my clothes, "No, my mother never cared about me, I only have brother."

At the gate of the courtyard, Fu Tinglan folded her arms around her chest, her indifferent expression was even stained with a little disgust, she turned and left.

Whenever I think about it, I feel chills. I turned my head and let out a soft "hehe" from the corner of my mouth. I pressed Chen Siyuan's steering wheel forcefully and asked him to park the car at the bus station a few hundred meters away from the TV station.

"I'm already alone, so what's the point of being lonely! Since I'm a burden, you are just a display to me. Don't act like you really want to care about me, but don't worry, I will fulfill my obligations. Go home on time every day, have dinner with you on weekends, and stay away from me at other times, as for moving, you can move, I finally found a job I like, don’t talk about it!"

I slammed the door of the car while I finished speaking like a big drama, and what I heard was Chen Siyuan's orderly order, "After work, I will pick you up here, be careful." He started the car again The car engine drove away from behind me calmly.

The quarrel without dialogue is probably the saddest moment for me as a lonely human being. My heart is extremely painful, but I don’t know what the source of this pain is. , but it wasn't her either, the bottom end of the line was empty, and I didn't even know who I was to her, or who she was.
