Longmen Memoirs

"Is your name really Chen Mo?"

She seemed to be confirming this, her red eyes stared closely at Chen Mo's face, with some nervousness.

"Didn't you confirm it already?"

"Yeah." She nodded and shook violently.That action made Chen Mo confused as to what she meant.

After a while, she suddenly jumped down from the sofa, opened the door of a bedroom, and ran in.

Chen Mo watched her movements, and the sound of kicking footsteps sounded on the wooden floor.

"found it!"

Chapter 18 Longmen Love Story ([-])

Chen Mo opened the half-open door and walked into the house. It was a very simple bedroom with no decorations that women should have. The thick curtains were opened, and the sunlight illuminated the room through the windows, but it still made people feel a bit gloomy. .

There is a faint fragrance filling the room. It is not the smell of some kind of perfume, but the smell of simple shower gel. It is as simple and neat as the owner of this room, mixed with a little seriousness and rigidity.

Placed next to the bedside table was a thick stack of documents. In Chen Mo's mind, she seemed to be half-lying on the bed late at night, frowning and looking through the stack of documents under the warm yellow bedside lamp.

Xiao Mo was half-kneeling on the floor. The drawer had not yet been closed. She lowered her head slightly and held something in her hand.

When Chen Mo walked over and stood behind her, he saw clearly what was in her hand.

It was a photo frame, a photo from a long time ago. The traces of time left on the photo made the corners slightly yellow. There were three small figures in the photo.

The background is the large iron gate of an old church. Not far from the large iron gate is a tall oak tree. A swing is tied under the oak tree. The rope of the swing is gently swaying in the breeze with the falling leaves.

The black-haired boy stood in the center. To her left was a little silver-haired girl in a small skirt. They were holding hands. On the other side, the little blue-haired girl was holding her hands and tilting her head unhappily.

She seemed to have just done something, so the boy turned his head and looked at her angrily, while the person on the other side smiled brightly.

"I thought she had thrown it away a long time ago."

Chen Mo looked at the photo in Xiao Mo's hand nostalgically. Some memories he thought he had forgotten long ago would never be recalled unless he thought about them. Only when he saw them again did he suddenly realize that he had never forgotten them.

In the days of late summer and early autumn, the only photo left by the three people in the orphanage was also his pity for himself. Every close friend in the orphanage had one.

A memory that belongs to only one person.

Chen was the one who should have been standing next to Tallulah, but Tallulah kept holding her hand. Her behavior made Chen unhappy. Of course, Chen would not beat Tallulah. Chen Mo naturally became her. The object of venting.

"You could have been on the other side."

Chen Mo's impression of her was that she was an unreasonable and willful person since she was very young.

"I don't want your charity."

"Then stand between us!"

Chen lowered his head and glanced at Tallula holding Chen Mo's hand. He seemed to remember how he stood in the middle, and his face became even more ugly.

"whispering sound……"

"what on earth do you want!"

"We need to take pictures!" Ms. Lan Min, who served as the videographer, reminded.

Chen Mo turned around quickly and showed an artificial smile.

It was at this time that Chen pinched my arm hard, then suddenly turned his head and crossed his hands, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him.

Chen Mo subconsciously turned his head and looked at Chen angrily.

Therefore, the camera recorded this scene forever【//

Later, Chen Mo always thought that Chen hated this photo and thought that she had thrown it away long ago. After all, how could a young lady like her really care about a photo.

Although every photo is a treasure that every orphan cherishes, Chen is different. If she wants, she can take countless photos at any time.

"what……"

Xiao Mo, who was startled by Chen Mo's sudden voice, turned around, as if she didn't expect Chen Mo to appear behind her.

No one expected that it would end up like this.

"I saw that the door was not closed..." Chen Mo explained. "Did you come here specifically to find this photo? It turns out that Chen had kept it all along. I thought she had thrown it away long ago."

"Have you seen this photo?" Xiao Mo was stunned, looked at Chen Mo and asked subconsciously.

Chen Mo sat by the bed and stretched out her hand. She hesitated for a few seconds. She took my extended hand and sat next to me, holding the photo tightly in her hand.

"I know you." Chen Mo suddenly wanted to smile, but when he showed his smile, it became very shallow.

"How could you not recognize him?" He pointed to the person in the middle of the photo: "Because, this person is me."

"Mommy never tells me things about her childhood."

Xiao Mo looked down at the photo in his hand and whispered.

"Then how do you know the person in the middle is me?"

"I have secretly seen Mommy looking at this photo in a daze several times before." She said: "I secretly asked Aunt Xingxiong why a girl always looks at the photo in a daze." Aunt Xingxiong said , if she is a woman, she is a relative and friend, if she is a man, she is mine..."

[What if it’s a man? 】

[Male, that might be yours, Xiaomo...]

After all, she couldn't say those two words, and Chen Mo also understood that if it were him, he would also feel alienated and strange, just like when he first opened his eyes, he walked out of the bedroom and saw a strange man and woman outside the bedroom.

Hoshiguma?

Chen Mo and Xing Xiong didn't know each other very well. Apart from the fact that she sometimes said some unreasonable things when she was drunk, she was actually a pretty good person.

But Chen Mo still had to pretend that he didn't know him.

"Who is Aunt Xingxiong?" Chen Mo asked puzzledly.

"Aunt Xingxiong is Mommy's friend." Xiao Mo raised the photo frame and crossed his legs: "She is so tall, everyone is afraid of her, but Aunt Xingxiong is afraid of Mommy, she is very good to me, Xiao Mo I like Aunt Xingxiong very much, but if she doesn’t lift Xiao Mo up every time she comes, Xiao Mo likes her even more.”

"yes."

Chen Mo nodded slightly.He was still the same irrelevant person. He got into a fight with a gangster in Xiacheng District and was unexpectedly saved by her life. However, he owed her a favor.

"Who is this person?" Xiao Mo pointed to another person in the photo.

"Her." Chen Mo looked at the little girl holding his left hand in the photo. "Her name is Xiaota."

"Is she mommy's relative?" Xiao Mo asked again.

"Does Xiaomo know what relatives are?"

"I know." Xiao Mo nodded: "Just like mommy and I..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Mo again and did not continue.

"Well, really clever."

A smile appeared on Xiao Mo's face, but then he seemed to have thought of something and deliberately became serious.

"Then is she an older sister or younger sister?"

"It's my sister."

"I have never seen her, and mommy has never told me about it." Xiao Mo stared at the girl in the photo and said softly, and then asked, "Is her hair the same color as mine?"

"Yes, they all have beautiful silver hair."

"But mommy's hair is blue?" Xiao Mo muttered doubtfully, glancing at his hanging hair.

"That's because you and her are also relatives."

Chen Mo said words to deceive children, and Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at him.

"Is that right?"

"Isn't Mommy's sister a relative of yours?" I asked.

She thought for a while before saying, "Yes."

"Then where is she now?"

"She went to a very far place." Chen Mo took back the hand on Xiao Mo's head: "Xiao Mo will see her in the future."

"Is it the same place you went to?"

Chapter 19 Longmen Love Story ([-])

Xiao Mo clutched the edge of the photo tightly, lowering her head slightly. Chen Mo couldn't see her expression clearly, but he still put on a relaxed smile, just like when he faced Tallulah a long time ago.

He found Tallulah, but Tallulah no longer needed him.

Chen Mo casually said words that he didn't believe, not realizing what he would encounter.

"A little farther than me."

"...Are you going to leave?"

Chen Mo suddenly realized something, but it was already too late.This was not the first time he encountered this feeling, but after so many years, he would make the same mistake every time.

He opened his mouth, but was speechless, wanting to say no.

But lies, when facing her, cannot be said no matter what, they will eventually break, which makes people even more sad and disappointed than at this moment.

"I know." Xiao Mo's voice was very low.

"I know mommy always says next time, but there is never a next time." She suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Mo, with a bright smile on her face.

"So can you please stop lying to me, because Xiao Mo knows what lies are."

Every word she spoke made Chen Mo feel that his heart became heavier with each sound.Especially that bright smile, it seemed like something was knocking on his heart.

Not painful, but unbearable.

"I won't lie to you." Chen Mo's eyes softened. "I will come back. I will come back after everything is done."

"Don't you want to meet Xiaota? I will bring her back with me. Chen must miss her very much too."

"When the time comes, we will live here together, accompany Xiao Mo to school, and grow up little by little."

She remained silent and did not answer Chen Mo's words.

Chen Mo's voice became smaller and smaller, and he became less and less confident.Because he knows very well that unfulfilled promises can only be promises and cannot become reality.

A pale promise.

"...I will wait for you." Xiao Mo suddenly said softly: "We will wait here with Mommy for your return. Don't let us wait too long, otherwise we will be angry."

The deliberately bulging face made it difficult for Chen Mo to tell whether what she said was true or false.

But Chen Mo would rather believe that it is true.

Chen Mo raised his finger.

"I【

"Humph……"

She folded her hands and tilted her head. Her look was very similar to Chen's look in the photo.

----------

On the sofa in the living room, Chen Mo gently reached out and rubbed Xiao Mo's head.

"Sorry for making Xiao Mo worry."

"I'm not worried about you." Xiao Mo said, leaning his head on the pillow in his arms, and after a while he whispered: "...a little."

The sound is a bit muffled.

"Have you found the small tower?"

"Small tower? Found it."

Chen Mo had found Tallulah a long time ago, but he didn't know if the Tallulah he found was still her in the past, maybe she was no longer the same.

"She came back with you?"

"No." Chen Mo said, "Xiaota will not come back."

"Why?" Xiao Mo looked at Chen Mo doubtfully: "You said you would bring Xiaota back."
