The rest of your life is too long, you are too unforgettable

Chapter 13
Liang Zhixuan came back to her senses and shook her head: "No, I just thought of my parents..."

"Okay, I don't want to hear anything about your family." He interrupted her a little irritably, as if annoyed that he should not tell her so much about himself.

"Your father... Didn't he remarry later? Your stepmother treated you badly?" She didn't want to talk, but in order to resist the cold and the growing drowsiness, she had to continue.

"Her?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Mu Zheng's lips, as if he didn't want to say more, he just said: "Her greatest contribution is to bring Xiaoxiao, she acted like a baby and asked me to accompany her, so I can stay at home for two more My God, if someone is sick and asks about their health, it won’t be thrown out like garbage and no one will take care of them.”

He lit another cigarette, and the cold wind poured in from the opening above the window glass, choking him to cough a few times.

Liang Zhixuan handed him the water in his hand: "Drink two sips of water, don't smoke, smoking too much is not good for your health."

The friendship like a childhood sweetheart, broke up as soon as it was said.Hearing that Feng Xiaoxiao and the others had news, he probably felt uncomfortable. These two days, he smoked very fiercely, almost one cigarette after another.

"I'm not thirsty, you can drink it by yourself, go to bed after drinking, don't bother me."

Liang Zhixuan raised his spirits, "Do you think we will freeze to death in this mountain today?"

"Do you think this is Siberia, a few degrees below zero can freeze you to death? You still owe me a debt, and if you die, return my watch first!"

How could this be on her head again?She couldn't get angry: "You insisted on using the watch to pay for the meal, can you blame me? Besides, you also snatched my necklace, so you should return the necklace to me first."

He sneered, "Can your necklace be worth a tourbillon?"

Does she want to say that no matter how expensive a watch is, it is worth the relics left by her parents? Does he know what emotional value is?The words slipped from his lips, imitating his tone: "Isn't it just a watch, just buy it again, if you can't afford it, I'll draw one for you."

She opened the storage compartment in front of the car, and she seemed to see paper and pens in it just now.

She took out a black oil-based pen inside, took Mu Zheng's hand and said: "It's agreed, the painting is finished, even if you really freeze to death here today, you don't want to look for me when you get to the underworld."

She has been in such a hurry to get rid of things related to him, no matter life or death.

He looked at her and didn't say yes or no.

She began to draw on his hand, first a dial, then the hour and minute hands... It was very rough, but she drew it seriously.

Perhaps at a certain point in time as the end, even sworn enemies are not so hideous.

"Okay, classic tourbillon." She smiled, saw that he was frowning in dissatisfaction, added the words "Louis Vuitton" on the dial, and patted the back of his hand, "Here, your 'donkey' card', here you go."

Mu Zheng still looked disgusted: "It's ugly."

It was rare for her not to argue with him, she threw the pen back, and looked out the window with her shoulders crossed.

Although she didn't dare to sleep, she couldn't hold back the fierce drowsiness, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Mu Zheng turned to look at her when he heard her breathing evenly and steadily. Her face was paler than usual in the dark night.

He couldn't help reaching out to brush her hair that fell to her face, and stroked her delicate skin with his fingers, lingering for a long time.

She moved unconsciously, and murmured: "Brother Ming..."

His hands froze there, seeing the watch she drew for him, monotonous black, childlike, just now he thought it was simple and cute, but at this moment it seemed like an abstract irony.

He finally retracted his hand, but his eyes were still on her.

The fingers of the other hand caressed those black marks carefully, and finally he stopped looking at her and closed his eyes, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Who said that all feelings will go in a circle?He was clearly in the same place, dull and sad in the same place, wanting to be understood but afraid of being seen through.

He pulled the clothes on her body for her, took off his coat and covered her, and even gave her a scarf to block her neckline and keep the cold wind out.

Liang Zhixuan didn't know who gave her warmth, but she could only see Lei Xiaoming standing in front of her in her dream, angry because of her repeated broken appointments and her silence.She wanted to explain, but he turned around and left. She couldn't catch up with him, and kept running, exhausted in her dream.After finally catching up, that face turned into Mu Zheng's.

She was awakened by the falling trees and the rustling of falling snow. When she opened her eyes, there was no one around her, and she didn't know where she was for a moment.

She was still wearing Mu Zheng's clothes and scarf, his body temperature had dissipated long ago, but the smell of tobacco was still on it, no wonder she couldn't escape him even in her dreams.

In the snow outside the car, Mu Zheng walked back from a distance, saw that she was awake, and ordered: "Stop sitting still, get out of the car.

She was still a little sleepy, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the place we were going to. Could it be that you plan to stay here for the rest of your life?" Mu Zheng still had a sarcastic tone, and pulled her out of the car, "Put your clothes on and get in the car in front."

Only then did she notice that he was wrapped in another coat, and there was a car waiting for them with double jump lights on the road not far from the woods.

It seems that his people came out to look for them before they waited, and now they have joined him.

Mu Zheng tilted his head and coughed, Liang Zhixuan walked in front and couldn't help but look back.

Neither of them spoke, they walked one after the other in the snow, like two strangers who met by chance.

The people in the car called him "fourth brother", he nodded, and the car drove all the way to the village deep in the mountain depression.

The place where they were trapped yesterday was actually not far away, but they almost thought it was a desperate situation.

The car stopped in front of an unfamiliar bungalow. Mu Zheng's people had already found out the situation in the village very clearly. This was the old house of her mother's family.

"Go in and have a look, at least your brother has been here, maybe he left some clues."

Mu Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, and he couldn't hear any emotion.His people told them on the way that they came a step late, and Liang Wendong and Feng Xiaoxiao were no longer here.

Now that they're here, it's better for them to come over and have a look in person to confirm.

There are still people living in the house. According to seniority, Liang Zhixuan should call the elder who is in charge of the house uncle, but they haven't seen each other for too many years, and they don't understand the dialect. In fact, they are very familiar with each other.

It’s just that the other party was still very enthusiastic when they mentioned Liang Wendong: “Oh, Ah Dong, your brother is very good, and he is so tall. I brought a girl here for a few days, and when I heard that it was going to snow, I left! That girl The child is afraid of the cold... It's okay for the two of you, that girl has a sweet mouth and is a good boy."

Liang Zhixuan barely understood the meaning of the other party, and did not dare to translate it completely for Mu Zheng.But he seemed to understand, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

She didn't know whether to be disappointed or feel grateful. Her younger brother was upright and not smart enough, but with Feng Xiaoxiao around, it might not be so easy for Mu Zheng to find them.

Uncle wanted to keep them for dinner. How could Liang Zhixuan have such thoughts, and Mu Zheng and his party also got in the car and were about to leave, so she had no choice but to thank them politely.

But she still had a wish, so she had to hold back Mu Zheng and said, "My grandparents' tomb is on this mountain, can you let me go and have a look?"

No one has taken care of it for so many years, I'm afraid it has become overgrown with weeds.

Mu Zheng refused without even raising his eyelids: "No."

When he learned that Liang Wendong and Feng Xiaoxiao were not there, his mood deteriorated very quickly, and he couldn't bear to listen to another word from her.

She wanted to speak again, but he directly closed the car door and said to the driver, "Drive."

She could only hold the door handle: "Wait a minute!"

There are no other cars going down the mountain here. If they just leave, she will miss her work in the afternoon.

She knew that this was an unfeeling request, and maybe Mu Zheng would think that she was showing off because they failed to find her brother.

The two people in the car fell silent again, and Liang Zhixuan didn't realize that he had fallen asleep until they returned to downtown Ancheng, and slid from the back of the chair on the other side to lean on her shoulder in the bumps.

She frowned and wanted to push him away, but found that his body temperature was hot and her breath was heavy.

He has a fever.

Liang Zhixuan just wondered why Mu Zheng didn't lose his temper when he looked for someone to beat him this time.It turned out that he was not out of temper, but sick.

He has always been in good health, and the people under him have not dealt with his illness much, and they are all at a loss.

Xiao Gao, who was driving, asked, "Miss Liang, do you want to take Si Ge to the hospital?"

If you have a high fever to the point of burning your hands in this unfamiliar place, of course it would be better to go to the hospital.But Liang Zhixuan didn't know why they asked her, and she didn't want to be the master.

"Send him where it's convenient for you. I have to go to the airport. You don't have to worry about me, just find a place to put me down."

The people in the car looked at each other when they heard that she was going to leave, Xiao Gao was a little anxious: "Miss Liang, you can't leave, what should fourth brother do if you leave?"

She thought it was ridiculous, "I'm not a doctor, and I can't save lives and heal the wounded and give him injections and medicines. You send him to the hospital and accompany him to draw water. Isn't it all right when the fever subsides?"

A few people still looked embarrassed.The county hospital in Ancheng is in the city center. The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Liang Zhixuan gently removed Mu Zheng from her shoulders and jumped out of the car. She didn't have much time left, and it would be too late if she didn't go to the airport.

Xiao Gao scratched his hair: "Miss Liang, can you not leave? Fourth Brother needs someone to take care of him if he is alone in the hospital. We are clumsy, and we are sure we can't do anything well. He will scold us."

She glanced at the car and said, "I'm not unreasonable, but you have your responsibilities, and I have mine. I can't ask for leave casually for my job, otherwise how would the plane fly back?"

"But Fourth Brother got sick because of you. When we drove down from the mountain this morning and met you, you were still sleeping in the car, but he didn't even wear a coat." Xiao Gao thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Are you still angry about what happened just now? You want to sweep the grave, no problem, if you don't have time, we'll go back and sweep it for you..."

"Little Gao!"

Mu Zheng's hoarse voice came from the car, and several people were all terrified.

He lowered the car window, his face was flushed, and his eyes were bloodshot, "I don't need anyone to accompany me when I'm sick, let her go!"

"Fourth brother..."

"Don't understand me, do you want me to repeat it?"

Xiao Gao shrank his neck, not daring to talk anymore, and made way for Liang Zhixuan to go.

She hurried a few steps before realizing that her necklace was still with Mu Zheng. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw that he had already raised the car window, and ordered the car to drive away without stopping at the hospital.

She couldn't understand his awkwardness and bad temper, just as he couldn't understand her obsession with her family.

She rushed back to the hotel to pick up her luggage and headed straight to the airport, fortunately in time for the mission flight.

She was busy doing pre-flight checks, and the purser asked her to help serve the first-class cabin later. She was a little surprised: "Isn't the first-class cabin empty today?"

"Now, you two, check the first-class meals."

The flight time from Ancheng to Nancheng is not long, and there are usually few first-class passengers, so she was not surprised when she saw Mu Zheng.Too many coincidences are inevitable, she guessed it.

Xiao Gao followed Mu Zheng, and looked very happy to see her: "Fourth Brother insists on rushing back to Nancheng, but his fever hasn't subsided yet, it would be great if you are on this plane to take care of him..."

"Shut up." Mu Zheng couldn't help coughing, his voice hoarse than before.

Liang Zhixuan didn't answer, and asked as usual: "What would you two like to drink, orange juice, coffee, mineral water?"

"Coffee." The two said in unison.

In fact, she knew Mu Zheng's answer without asking her, he was almost a man who didn't know how to adapt.

She poured coffee for Xiao Gao, but what she brought to Mu Zheng was a cup of warm orange juice.

He raised his eyes to look at her, and she said flatly, "It's not good to drink coffee when you have a cold and a fever."

Xiao Gao quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, the vitamins in orange juice are good for the body."

Mu Zheng's face darkened, and he was so frightened that he quickly sat on the empty seat in the back row.

"Today's flight takes about an hour and a half. If you feel uncomfortable during the flight and need help, you can ring the bell." Liang Zhixuan stood in front of Mu Zheng and raised her hand to demonstrate, "Now the plane is about to take off, please fasten it first." seat belt."

Mu Zheng didn't move or speak, and turned his head to look out the window.

After the plane entered level flight, it ran into a small bump. Liang Zhixuan happened to bring the blanket back to Mu Zheng. Seeing that his seat belt hadn't been buckled up, she had to bend over to help him buckle it up.

He couldn't sleep well, but the high fever didn't subside and he didn't have enough energy to stay awake, so he could only fall asleep all the way like this.

She covered him with a blanket and pulled up the shade of the window. His breath was so close, it brushed against her cheek urgently and hotly.She glanced at him and saw that his lips were covered with blisters. Thinking of last night in the car when he talked about his illness when he was a child, and the coat and scarf that covered her when she woke up this morning, she felt light in her heart. A pull.

She reached out and touched his forehead, and it seemed that she should twist a cold towel for him, so as not to make his condition worse when he got off the plane.

As soon as she withdrew her hand and straightened up, she heard him still with his eyes closed, yelling vaguely: "Little..."

It was like calling "Xiaoxuan", she was taken aback for a moment, but immediately denied it intuitively.He should be called Feng Xiaoxiao's "Xiaoxiao", the second syllable is swallowed up and is too vague, it sounds like Feng Xiaoxiao's name.

Who said he wouldn't be angry if he didn't find someone, he thought about it every day and dreamed at night, even if he had a high fever and talked nonsense, he still thought about his fiancée whose whereabouts were unknown.

Only those closest to her call her Xiaoxuan, but fortunately he has never called her that.

The plane landed smoothly. As soon as Liang Zhixuan turned on her phone, a message popped up. It was Lei Xiaoming who sent her: The flight went well?I'm waiting for you on the ground.

In fact, she thought that after meeting Mu Zheng at the hotel yesterday, he would stop talking to her.

She didn't have time to reply, and Mu Zheng was the first to pass in front of her when getting off the passengers. He finally woke up and could walk, but when he looked at her with red eyes, there seemed to be a clear sense of sarcasm.

Knowing that he couldn't see the messages on her cell phone, the crew had another channel on the ground, and he couldn't possibly know that Lei Xiaoming was waiting there, but his eyes seemed to know that she was going to see her later who.

This mission made her extremely tired, not only physically, but also emotionally.

When he saw Lei Xiaoming outside the passage, Liang Zhixuan realized that it was a sunny day, the sun and the sky were surprisingly good.

"When did you come back?" she asked him.

"Yesterday, seeing you leave the hotel, I bought a plane ticket and came back."

Lei Xiaoming's calmness surprised her, "Did you see me?" She thought he had already left when she went downstairs.

Lei Xiaoming didn't answer, took the suitcase in her hand and led her all the way to his parking spot.

Liang Zhixuan blushed slightly: "You don't need to trouble you, Brother Ming, I'll just take the crew shuttle bus back."

He smiled: "Your father said that day that he would invite me to dinner at home, doesn't that count?"

She didn't expect him to remember, "Of course it counts, but..."

"No, but let's go! You haven't been home for dinner for almost a week, and you have to give yourself and your family some time."

There is something in his words of relief, but it is completely antidote to the case.Liang Zhixuan was even more sure that he actually knew everything, but she didn't ask, so he didn't say much.

When they knocked at the door and no one opened it, Liang Zhixuan took out the key and opened the door.Liang Guoxing was not at home. Although his illness was not so serious that he would get lost if he went out casually, but after the last time, Liang Zhixuan was inexplicably nervous when he went home without seeing anyone, and he was afraid of disturbing her work and distracting her. Dare to call and text her.

"Come and take a look here." Lei Xiaoming called her from the living room.

It turned out that her father left a note for her, as long as she came home from get off work, she could read it.

There was only one sentence and an address on the note. When Liang Zhixuan saw the words "Jiao West", he felt that the blood in his whole body was congealed.

She ran into the room where her father and younger brother lived, and sure enough Liang Guoxing's things were gone.

He packed up and went to the nursing home in Key West.

It is more than 20 kilometers from the urban area to Key West, and there is still a bridge to cross. Liang Zhixuan sat in the car and felt that this road was farther than all the journeys she had flown.
