Longmen Memoirs

"Then you are stupid too. Only idiots would stay with idiots."

"You are so annoying."

"..."

Tallulah chose to believe Chen Mo, even though she couldn't even explain what she told Chen Mo clearly.

But how much insight can you expect from an eight-year-old child? She does seem to be much more "mature" than her peers, but how can she tell what is right and what is wrong before she has a clear memory? .

She just told Chen Mo that that person was her sister. They had the same mother and a childhood after the age of four. However, this childhood was not perfect for the two of them.

She used to be more like a protected sister than an older sister. It was fate that made her what she is today, and it was fate that made them embark on different paths.

It was also fate that made him and them drift apart.

Fate is an unpleasant thing.

The thing that maintains the relationship between them is so fragile. They once slept in the same bed, thinking that they could stay together like this for a lifetime, but the children's wishes were eventually eroded little by little by adults and reality.

wear out.

Tallulah recognized this reality, and that person obviously didn't realize this yet. She still put herself in her sister's position as always.

Chen Mo couldn't comment on this, because he hadn't even met the person she was talking about. The reason why he was so sure was that during the long time he had lived with Tallulah, she had given Chen Mo such confidence.

They talked quietly all the way, and Ms. Teresa would look back at them talking quietly from time to time. The sunlight fell on the floor through the small flower window, and they stepped on one tiny ray of sunlight after another.

Soon came to the destination.

In front of Ms. Theresa's room, it was here that Chen Mo met Tallulah for the first time. Maybe today, he will lose her.

But he was already prepared.Although I have been telling myself this, it is inevitable that I still feel worried about gains and losses.

Lady Teresa stopped.

She reached out and opened the door.

Chen Mo looked through the open door and saw the little girl sitting on the bed. At the same time, she heard the sound of the door opening and raised her head to look out the door.

They were a pair of eyes that were exactly the same as Tallulah's. They were as bright as polished rubies, exuding a captivating brilliance.

She was a very cute child, with bright blue hair combed into two strands, and horns similar to Tallulah's. She sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a long time, quietly lowering her head and holding her two little hands. Beside the bed, he gently swayed his dangling legs.

Tallulah quietly hid behind Chen Mo.

Ms. Theresa seemed to have no intention of going in. She opened the door and stood at the door.

"Go." She said, looking at Tallulah behind Chen Mo with encouraging eyes.

The girl sitting on the bed stopped moving. She looked here, at Tallulah behind Chen Mo, without saying a word, but her eyes were full of anticipation and reluctance, but she seemed to be afraid of something, so He didn't dare to move, for fear that his slightest movement would scare away the girl hiding behind Chen Mo.

They were all waiting for Tallulah to make a decision.

And Chen Mo should be the first one to make a choice.

Chen Mo let go of Tallulah's hand, and Tallulah tried to hold his hand, so Chen Mo had no choice but to hold Tallulah's wrist, and she raised her head and looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo shook his head gently and leaned against her ear.

"I'll be waiting for you outside. No matter what happens, I'll be waiting outside for you to come out."

Her movements became quiet, and after Chen Mo finished speaking, he finally nodded and let go of his hand.

Chen Mo watched her walk in. The slowly closing door blocked the sight between them. Chen Mo watched her walk towards the girl.

This was the goodbye between the two of them, and as an outsider, Chen Mo shouldn't interfere.

Chen Mo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and gently shook his empty palm, as if the girl he had raised and cared for for many years could finally make her own choice one day.

He watched with relief as she left his arms, without timidly retreating midway. She was going to face her own life and fly farther and farther.

But at the same time, his heart suddenly became silent, as if he had lost something.

Do you think you are funny?Are you stupid?

What are you afraid of?You are a selfish villain to begin with!

You can bring her back now and tell her not to go. You could obviously keep her, but you are so good at lying. Why don't you dare to say a word now?

Why are you being pretentious?

you deserve it!

Chapter 23 Fraternal twins

Night of September 1078, 9 of the Crystal Age/Heavy Rain

She stood in front of the bedroom window and watched the car carrying Tallulah leave the gate of Chen's mansion.

The dazzling scarlet taillights were gradually submerged in the heavy rain.

She did nothing.

She didn't try to keep her, nor did she grab her hand and beg her not to leave. She didn't even dare to yell out her reluctance to let them know that she was still awake and didn't sleep at the prescribed time according to their instructions. With.

She could only grit her teeth, unable to tell whether it was the heavy rain or tears that blurred her vision.

She could only wait for her to leave, and "hate" that man with angry but useless eyes, and hate the Chen family that could not tolerate either herself or her.

The Chen family of Gaomen Huaji.

Treat all of this as nothing happened, lie alone on the cold bed, hug the quilt tightly, and read the name over and over again in the sound of pouring rain.

She wanted to keep hers, she wanted her to stay, otherwise she would be alone here.

June 1078, 11, Crystalline Era

The man was not at home today. She finally plucked up the courage and made the first confrontation in her life. She finally decided to resist the life they had arranged for her. She finally made up her mind to leave here and find her back.

When she was eight years old, she quietly slipped out of the house without the care of her mother-in-law and the guards. She had been planning this for almost two weeks. The moment the idea of ​​resistance arose, it became more and more raging like a flame.

She is born with such agility, and it seems that she has shown this talent since she was a child.

The bustling Longmen streets are filled with passing cars, endless crowds, dazzling shops, and noisy voices.

She stood on the streets of Longmen and came into contact with this city alone for the first time. She felt uneasy and uneasy with everything unfamiliar around her, but she was not timid or regretful. The figure that kept appearing in her mind made her feel uneasy. She forgot her timidity, and that desperate courage shielded him from fear and regret.

In her hand, she held tightly the photo she had brought from home.

She was urging herself, why not go faster, faster.

"We will meet again soon, Xiaota." She told herself.

She mustered up the courage to ask the strangers around her the name of that place. At that moment, she seemed to have forgotten all the etiquette and rules she had been taught at home.

"Excuse me, where is the administration building?"

"Do you know where the administration building is?"

"I'm going to the administration building."

"Can you tell me which direction the administration building is?"

She asked the people passing by her, bumping recklessly in the middle of this city of life, walking towards where she wanted to go. She knew there was someone there who could help her, and she could only think of that person.

So no matter how tired, wronged or lonely she is, she is not afraid.

Fortunately, the city has always been kind to her.

"Little girl, what are you looking for?"

Someone tapped her shoulder lightly from behind. She turned around and saw a police car parked on the side of the road. The person who tapped her shoulder was a police officer wearing a black uniform of the Guards Bureau. The silver-white gantry police badge was shining in the summer sun. Reflects bright light.

She recognized the uniform, she had often seen the symbol next to the man.

"Don't you know it's dangerous for a child to be outside? Where are your parents?"

The police officer knelt down with a gentle smile on his face.

"Can you help me?" She grabbed the other person's hand suddenly.

"Of course uncle will help you. He is a police officer of the Guards Bureau, but you have to tell him what he wants to help you."

She is very cute, with long blue hair, the innate temperament of a noble family, and the well-dressed clothes on her body, which makes it easy for people to fall in love with her.

"I'm looking for someone!"

"Mom and dad?"

She shook her head hastily, raised the photo in her hand, and pointed at the other little girl in the photo.

"Xiaota, have you seen Tallulah? Tell her that I'm looking for her!"

The police officer looked at the photo in her hand.

"She, I've seen her!" The police officer nodded firmly. "Just now, she was taken back by your mother. By now, she should have gone home. If I take you back, you can see her. Do you still remember where your home is?"

She was stunned, then suddenly let go of the police officer's hand, and took a few steps back cautiously.

"What's wrong?"

"You're lying to me! It's impossible for Xiaota to go back!"

There was no way they would take her back, otherwise they wouldn't have driven her away, and besides, there was no mother in the Chen family.

The police officer realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he wanted to reach out and grab the girl, but the girl immediately turned around and ran away. The police officer glanced at his police car parked on the side of the road and chased after her.

How could she, an eight-year-old girl, outrun a well-trained Guards officer?

"Uncle admits that he just lied to you. He didn't mean it. He apologizes to you. I'm sorry."

The officer grabbed her hand and she tried to break free.

"You are here to take me back, I won't go back! I finally escaped, I want to find Xiaota, Xiaota!"

She shouted loudly, but the people passing by just glanced at the police officers squatting in front of her. The uniforms of the Guards Bureau prevented them from getting involved.

"Uncle is not here to take you back!" the police officer said hurriedly, holding down her hand that was waving randomly.

She stopped and stared at the police officer in front of her.

"Then let me go!"

"Uncle can't let you go. It's dangerous for you to be out there alone."

"But I still have to find Xiaota!"

"Uncle, can I take you to Xiaota? Okay?"

She paused.

"Really?"

"Really, uncle promises you in the name of the Guards Bureau." The police officer showed his police badge: "But do you know where the small tower is?"

"...Administrative Building, you can find the small tower in the administrative building."

"Administrative building?" The police officer was stunned.

"Yeah." She nodded with great conviction.

"Okay, uncle will take you to the administrative building."

Perhaps in the police officer's mind, she thought that everyone could be found in the administrative building, but it was actually the police officers who were looking for them.

They got into the police car, and she was looking out the window the whole time. She was looking at the road outside the car window, making sure it was not the direction back to Chen's house.

The police car finally stopped at the entrance of the administrative building.

A tall building stood in front of the young girl, with the Dragon Gate and Yan Kingdom flags flying, and a huge white dragon head mark printed on the top of the building.

The police officer took her into the door of the administrative building. In fact, as a police officer of the District Guard Bureau, he rarely came here.

Police officers salute officers on duty in the hall.

"Come to report? You have a child with you," the police officer on duty asked.

"It's not from my house. I met him on the roadside. A man said he was coming here to find someone." The police officer said helplessly.

"Come to the administration building to find someone?"

"Maybe it's the child of a staff member." the police officer guessed.

"Little girl, who are you looking for?" the police officer on duty asked with a smile.
