I don't know the East is white

Chapter 74 The East Is White ([-])

According to legend, the soul of a person who died suddenly will be imprisoned in place and cannot be reincarnated.

Homicides happened one after another, and everyone in Tongzilou felt that this place was unlucky. In addition, the news of demolition finally reached this forgotten place, and everyone who could move out of it.

Ding Changle's home was emptied by the landlord after the unblocking, and no one took care of it. The door was always ajar and no one dared to enter.Wei Wan stood at the door and stretched out her hand to push, but stopped when she touched the iron door.He smiled suddenly, slightly bent his fingers and knocked lightly on the iron door a few times. "Changle, can I come in?"

I remember the first time I sent her home, she half-closed the door and only showed her head and said to him: "ALEX, thank you for taking me home. Goodbye." Then she closed the iron door without hesitation.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as if you agreed." Wei Wan said to herself, and walked into her house.

The afternoon sun was nice, shining on the old wooden floors.In the past, I only felt that the place was crowded, but now that all the furniture has been emptied, it seems empty, empty and lonely.

The place where the photos used to hang on the wall is empty, leaving only a solitary nail and an imprint the size of a photo frame.Wei Wan took out the group photo he "stealed" last time from his wallet, pulled out the nail with some strength, and nailed the photo to the wall.

The only piece of furniture left in the family was the bed. It was probably because someone had died, and the landlord thought it was bad luck and didn't want it, so he left it where it was.The bedding has also been emptied long ago, leaving only an empty plank.

Wei Wan sat on the wooden board beside the bed, stroking the wood grain with her fingers.It's like stroking the coffin where Changle lives.

He once thought of keeping her by his side selfishly, and even booked a cemetery.But in the end he still buried Changle back to Qishan and slept with his younger brother.The fallen leaves return to their roots, that is where her heart is tied.

"Changle, rest in peace. The murderers who killed you and your brother have been brought to justice. Your father's case has also been brought to justice. Dongfang has also been released. She said that she doesn't blame you for what happened to Uncle Dongfang. I told her Sorry, I shouldn't doubt her about you."

It was only after the lawsuit was over that he learned from Dongfangchai that Changle was probably trapped in this house for the last days of his life.She was here when he broke into here by mistake that night while drunk.

A gust of cool wind suddenly blew into the stuffy room, rolled up the white gauze curtains, and brushed against Wei Wan's clothes and the back of his hands.

Wei Wan closed her eyes, feeling the breeze, a long-lost smile appeared on her face. "Changle, you are here."

Closing his eyes, he heard that light thump again in a trance.Wei Wanteng stood up and suddenly lifted the bed.Sure enough, there was a space for one person to lie down with their legs bent, and there was a spot on the floor that was exceptionally clean.

He had a strange feeling that when he lay in bed that night, she was under the bed.It's just because the hands and feet are trapped and the mouth is gagged so that I can't make a sound.She may have been trapped like this for two or three days, waiting for his arrival.

He did come, but missed her again.

Wei Wan found a few crooked nicks on one side of the wooden board.It looks like a few letters, but if you read them carefully, you can't see the meaning.

He thought for a while, imagining her posture at that time and lying down on the spot, with her face pressed against the dust on the ground, feeling her feelings.

Because her hands were cut behind her back, she should have been facing the other side.Without other tools, this notch can only be made by fingernails little by little, so these "characters" are extremely irregular, and the positions of the strokes overlap each other.He turned his back to the board with letters, and used his fingertips to feel the order and position of these strokes.

"ALEX, ME TO." I don't know if the last circle is the number 0 or the letter O. The circle didn't round back, and when it was turned, there were some old red blood stains. It should be that the nail was broken due to too much force.

It is his expectation to write his name in a desperate situation, which Wei Wan can understand.But what does METO mean?
Wei Wan looked carefully and found that there was a little distance between ME and TO, so these are actually two words? ME TO?Did she want to write ME TOO (me too)?

Me too... what?

Wei Wan's eyes looked around the empty room, and finally her eyes stopped on the photo nailed to the wall.

He once stood here and said to the photo, "Changle, come back quickly, I haven't told you personally, I love you..."

So, she heard?

[If Ding Changle heard this sentence in a different situation, she would probably have a lot to say in response.Said she was not good enough for him, thanked him, and said she had someone else she liked.

She had to come up with 1 lame excuses to reject him, and it was doomed when she took this step of revenge.

She has to admit that she is selfish, she clearly knows the relationship between Wei Wan and Dongfangchai, and she knows that after doing something like that, Wei Wan will fall into a dilemma.But she still chose the "wrong path", so she never asked for forgiveness.

But in such a situation now, she may die out of here, and her heart will never be seen.

So she bald her fingers, and wrote down this true heart in her "coffin": Me too...

Ding Changle probably didn't expect such a response to leave Wei Wan with an outlet for redemption.

Tears fell completely unconsciously, Wei Wan caressed this unfinished sentence over and over again, all the unspoken and unreciprocated love found a home here.

"Changle, you can leave with peace of mind. Don't wait for me. In a few decades, I will always come to you."

The suffocating hot wind in the house swirled, and the dust slipped out of the window with it.

At this time, the sky outside the window was getting late, and there was an inexplicably excited and enthusiastic atmosphere in the air.I saw the first Kongming Lantern floating over the heavy wires and stumbling up into the sky.Wei Wan just remembered that today is the annual Sky Lantern Festival in Wusu.

Wusu is the city with the earliest dawn and the longest sunshine time in the whole country, so the people especially cherish the night time.Every year on the Qixi Festival, there is an officially organized Kongming Lantern Festival. In a large open space surrounded by the Mi River, tens of thousands of Kongming Lanterns are displayed at [-] o'clock in the evening, which is very spectacular.In addition to the active participation of local residents, it also attracted many foreign tourists.It has become a major feature of Wusu.

Dongfang Bai was tripped by the crowds of tourists all around him, tripped over his left foot and almost fell down with his right foot, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and brought her into his arms, and tapped her on the forehead. "Undeveloped cerebellum."

Tang Jibai put his arms around her halfway, his impressive height was enough to enclose a comfortable walking range for her, the top of his head touched his chin, Dongfang Bai looked up and saw Tang Jibai in a black suit, his heart felt as if he had found a snuggle soft pillow.Even if the surrounding is still crowded, in the eyes of lovers, it is the world of two people.

The tough woman made a coquettish tone. "It's not that someone is late, but I made an appointment."

Tang Jibai put the two Kongming lanterns in her arms, and imitated her tone: "It's not like someone wants RILAKKUMA's Kongming lanterns. If you can't buy them, you have to paint them yourself. It's better to wait in the parking lot, no I ran in by myself in 5 minutes. You impatient."

The bright yellow Rilakkuma is embellished on the dark brown sky lantern paper, which is very unnatural but eccentric and cute.Seeing that Dongfangchai liked him so much, he forgot all about being late.

"Didn't I see that people have started to light up lanterns one after another, and I want to come in and watch the fun." When studying, Dongfang's mother was afraid that there would be too many dangers to let them come.Growing up, busy with work, I don't have the mind to join in the fun.A native of Wusu in Dongfangchai has never participated in the Sky Lantern Festival. "I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to participate in the Sky Lantern Festival together."

Everything in the old days was like a big dream, and those who fell into the dream thought they would never come out again.

"I promised you." It was Dongfangchai who was promoted to prosecutor that year and promised to take her to the Sky Lantern Festival, but accidents followed one after another, and the delay lasted for three years.

The two walked towards the gathering point where the lanterns were set off, chatting casually along the way.

"At that time, I felt hopeless in the detention center. Suddenly, Wen Chu went crazy. Ma Tianjing turned himself in and told the whole story. This is nothing more than a miracle. How did you do it? ?”

From the trial to the end of the case, Dongfang Bai was mentioned here and there like a quail, and finally released.She was ignorant of the whole process, and Tang Jibai didn't say a word about it.The few words that Xie Xiena heard only said that Tang Jibai used psychological warfare to conquer the two of them.What is going on, no one knows.

Tang Jibai patiently explained to her. "Everyone has a weakness. Ma Ze'an is Ma Tianjing's weakness, so I tricked him that Ma Ze'an was poisoned and was in danger; Jiang Baoluo was Wen Chu's weakness, so I ruined Jiang Baoluo's last souvenir for him. But with these alone It’s not enough to blackmail them, everyone loves themselves the most.”

Dongfangchai only knew half of what she heard, and she always thought that Tang Jibai, like her, won the lawsuit by thoroughly studying the law, but his method of analyzing people's hearts seemed to be more sophisticated.Dongfang Bai deliberately exaggeratedly shook the goosebumps on his body. "You are so scary. Professor Tang, who never swears, actually eats people without spit out bones."

Tang Jibai raised his eyebrows amusedly. "You just know? I gave you a chance to escape, but you just want to run back. You little girl who doesn't know what to do."

Dongfangchai knew that he still cared about her leaving and returning from the airport, so he pushed her away at the cost of his life, but her distrust of him almost caused a catastrophe in the end.

Tang Jibai wrapped his arms around her, like holding a doll.His chin rubbed against the top of her head. "This time, I can't run away."

Dongfang Bai raised his head, tiptoed, and kissed his side face. "This time, I can't drive away."

Everyone likes the gentle and kind Professor Tang during the day, but only you can see me in the dark.

At nine o'clock, with fireworks as an order, thousands of lights will be set off.Against the background of the gorgeous fireworks, sky lanterns are overwhelmingly embellishing the entire night.Some scenery is once in a lifetime, probably so.

Dongfangchai looked up and watched the two little bear sky lanterns that belonged to them staggering up side by side. The paintings on the two lanterns were different. One was RILAKKUMA (relaxed bear) and the other was RILAKKUMA’s younger sister (milk bear). It is easy to identify among the same Kongming lanterns.It wasn't until she was in mid-air that she realized that it was "tricky".

As the distance between the two lamps drifted closer, she realized that Rilakkuma was kneeling on one knee, and the gift box held by Milk Bear looked like a ring box.

She turned her head happily and found that Tang Jibai had already knelt down on one knee in front of her.The people around automatically gave up an open space and formed a small circle. The girls screamed in a low voice, laughed kindly, and applauded her to the clouds.

Tang Jibai opened the ring box, revealing a heart-shaped diamond ring with a Möbius ring design.

The characteristic of the Möbius ring is that it starts from any point on one side, advances without turning back, and after reaching the other side, it will eventually return to the starting point, a wireless loop.Much like the two of them, going round and round and finally meeting again.The so-called never forget, there must be echoes.The person who made your heart beat when you were young has gone through thousands of sails and returned to the starting point.

The night breeze is gentle and intoxicating.

Tang Jibai's magnetic voice became more seductive at this moment, and was blown into her ears by the breeze. "Dongfang Bai, please give me back my name."

Others may be confused, but this is the most romantic love story Dongfangchai has ever heard.

When she was born, he bestowed his name on her.From then on, she will renew his surname.
