Wildfire

At half past nine, on the plane, Qi Man leaned by the window, opposite Li Yanzhi: "What to drink?"

She raised her eyes to look at Li Yanzhi. The woman opposite had an elegant posture, a black and white suit and a white silk shirt. The material fell very well. The clothes were fitted to her body, and the curve was drawn. The cuffs on both sides of the shirt were folded up to the elbows, revealing the white and thin wrist Li Yanzhi brought Qi Man a cup of tea, Qi Man took it and pursed his lips: "Thank you."

Li Yanzhi sips tea: "Would you like a break?"

rest?

Qi Man wanted to jump off the plane a bit now. She was really crazy before agreeing to see the stars by Li Yanzhi, and even more crazy before agreeing to go back to the nursing home to see the stars.

Where are the stars different?

But she still agreed when Li Yanzhi asked if she wanted to get on the plane.

Li Yanzhi drank, but she didn't drink again. She couldn't change her mouth if she wanted to pretend to be drunk, she could only bite the bullet.

Apart from the two of them on the plane, there were also bodyguards sitting not far away. Qi Man had nothing to say and looked out the window. Li Yanzhi bowed his head to drink tea with a natural look.

The landing time was a bit earlier than she thought. It took two or three days to drive. It took less than half an hour. Qi Man was taken on the car by Li Yanzhi when he got off the plane. Even here, Li Yanzhi’s car was still Canadian Long luxury cars are her usual style. Qi Man gets into the car behind her and opens the windows after a while.

The cold wind outside, Yucheng is not like Haicheng, Haicheng is near the sea, the wind blows with a smell, the air here is fresher, but there is no Haicheng prosperous here, after ten o'clock, almost all the shops on the street are locked. .

The street sidewalkers are in twos and threes.

The black car drove on the road and occasionally attracted the attention of some people.

Qi Man always turned her head to look out the window. She has walked this street many times and clearly remembers how long it takes to get from her home to the adoption home, where is the closer, which road is better, and there are even a few trees on the road. She knew all the distances.

Yes, after Li Yanzhi left, it was renamed the adoption home.

In the first few months after she was adopted, she didn’t go home after school at all, so she ran to the nursing home. Her mother came to find her, and she stubbornly said that she was waiting for someone and refused to go home with her. If her mother didn’t go home, she would sit Accompany her at the entrance of the foster home.

One big and one small, from summer to winter, from hot wind to cold wind, once she had a high fever, and insisted on coming over at night. Her mother dragged her to the hospital. The two had a fight. Her mother beat her for the first time. Sorry, she told her not to wait anymore. She said she couldn't wait anymore. She went home and made a fire. Later, when she saw Li Yanzhi on TV, she still looked like she remembered, but she was very thin. It was after the separation. She saw Li Yanzhi for the first time, and then went to school, she realized that there was a big difference from Li Yanzhi, but she insisted that Li Yanzhi would come back to pick her up, as long as she is better and better, Li Yanzhi She said she would come back to pick her up, and she promised herself.

But wait left and right, she couldn't wait, so she went straight to it.

The moment Li Yanzhi pressed the window of the car, she was very nervous, holding her pants tightly with her hands. It was not that she was nervous to see Li Yanzhi, but that she thought Li Yanzhi was here to pick her up.

At that time, she was still thinking whether she should ask Li Yanzhi why she came.

But Li Yanzhi didn't give her a chance.

The car was quiet, Li Yanzhi asked, "Have you been back?"

Qi Man thought for a few seconds, and definitely shook his head: "No."

Since she found Li Yanzhi, she has never come back, and has buried the things here long ago, so she had better never remember it.

Li Yanzhi raised his eyes to look at her, and said mildly, "I came back a while ago."

come back.

Qi Man lowered his eyes, and it seemed that Li Yanzhi had remembered everything.

She didn't ask, and Li Yanzhi didn't continue to say, but just looked at her for a moment. Li Yanzhi did come back not long ago. She walked side by side alone. The difference between this place and the memory is too big. It occupies a large area. Three times, all the equipment inside has also been updated. From the children’s living to the classroom, everything has changed greatly. The only thing that hasn’t changed is that the area was shelved when they were young, and a house was isolated next to it, and it seemed incompatible with the surroundings. I heard In the past, the police refused to move the house, saying that it was looking for evidence. After several renovations, the new principal directly abandoned this area, so it seemed that it was not integrated with other places.

After arriving at the place, Li Yan got off the car first, Qi Man followed her, and there was a cold wind in front of her. She sneezed. It was cold in the night in early October. Qi Man's arms were straight, and Li Yanzhi got out of the car. Take a black coat and hand it to Qi Man.

It is the same style as her.

Qi Man hesitated for two seconds before putting it on, and the scent of Li Yanzhi was immediately set off all over his body.

Rich and familiar, Qi Man pursed his lips and said to Li Yanzhi: "Where does Li always want to see?"

Li Yanzhi tilted his head: "Go in and take a look."

I don’t know if she greeted her before. They entered the gate without being stopped by the guard. The group swaggered in. When they passed the first house, the back bodyguards deliberately pulled away. Qi Man and Li Yanzhi walked by. Together, the figure is elongated.

Li Yanzhi turned his head: "Remember what it used to be here?"

She pointed to the direction of the playground and asked and answered: "This place used to be a ruin."

Qi Man nodded when he heard the words. It was a ruin, a place dedicated to putting rubbish, and the only back door through the orphanage. She remembered that Li Yanzhi ran over here as soon as she came here. Tugging her clothes.

The memory overlaps with the past, and the person in front of you overlaps with that when she was a child. Qi Man put aside his indifference and said, "You used to like to come here."

Because she can't stand the smell of the orphanage, she doesn't like the food here, the people here, and the rules here. She hates it, and often prepares to run out at night.

Li Yanzhi raised his lips, with a smile in his voice: "You also especially like to follow me."

Every time she thought that she was unconscious, she came out of the room secretly. When she walked here, she could always see a pitiful look with her hands pulling her head up, her big eyes full of fear, and she was afraid that she would just run like this. Up.

Qi Man shrugged: "It was requested by the teacher."

If she doesn't look good, she will be punished. She was especially afraid of hearing the word punishment at that time, so she had to look at Li Yanzhi if she didn't sleep at night.

"Then I would like to thank the teacher." She said a very ambiguous sentence, Qi Man Yuguang glanced at her, Li Yanzhi's side was calm, there was no moonlight, and a dim yellow street lamp hit her face, making the facial features extraordinarily deep, Qi Man coughed and looked back.

The two of them continued to move forward, after only living for three months, Li Yanzhi still remembered some parts of the wrong place, Qi Man occasionally corrected: "No, there used to be an open space."

She had a serious tone and gave her a stern look. Li Yanzhi looked at her for a few seconds, and smiled quickly, not a small smile, but very relaxed. The corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes were full of smiles. Qi Man rarely saw her so happy and a little confused: "You What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Li Yanzhi smiled and raised his head: "Don't you think, do you look like you were when you were a kid?"

Qi Man paused, looking up at Li Yanzhi, speechless.

In fact, when it comes to the past, it is not as bad and messy as she thought.

Of course—not as nervous as she thought.

She frightened herself, adjusted her emotions to the highest level, and refused to accept it. In fact, she could still sit here and chat with Li Yanzhi, but it didn't feel good.

There is a sense of sorrow and time passing by.

"Qi Man?" Li Yanzhi shouted, "What are you thinking about?"

Qi Man returned to his senses, spreading his hands: "Think about the past."

Li Yanzhi looked at her deeply, didn't ask much, just said, "Would you like to go up and take a look?"

Qi Manshun looked over at her. It was an old house, two-story high, dilapidated and old, with weeds spreading along the wall. She was surprised: "Can you go up?"

It looks like it has been abandoned for many years.

Li Yanzhi: "Try it?"

After she finished Qi Man, she immediately thought that Li Yanzhi would take her to see the stars for the first time. At that time, there was no good place in the whole courtyard. Li Yanzhi said that he wanted to go to the roof to see. At that time, there was a □□ on the roof to go up. For adults, it is very convenient to use the □□ to go up to the roof of the second floor, but for them, it wastes a lot of energy. Li Yanzhi stepped on the □□, she raised her head, carefully and timidly: "Can you go up?"

Li Yanzhi looked down at her and smiled: "Try it?"

The tone is exactly the same as it is now.

Just one night, Qi Man was about to remember all the things he had lived here, and she nodded.

Try it, try it.

The two walked in. The two-story house seemed to them to be a huge monster before, but now it only feels small. Qi Man and Li Yanzhi walked along the edge of the house, and they really found one. Qi Man looked at the half-new half. The old □□ bow his head.

This must be arranged by Li Yanzhi.

This person is always like this, he doesn't leak anything, he likes to arrange everything in advance.

It was still Li Yanzhi who went up first. The bodyguard saw them climbing up, and his face changed slightly. He wanted to stop it. Li Yanzhi waved his hand, and the bodyguard stepped back. His eyes were still staring at Li Yanzhi, for fear that she would fall off.

After Li Yan went up, Qi Man followed closely. The roof was far from before. He stepped on it and creaked, as if he couldn't hold the weight of the two of them. Qi Man walked with fear and fear. Her face was pale and she didn't dare. Looking down, Li Yanzhi, who was walking ahead, glanced at her with a quick look and stretched out his hand in front of her.

Slender fingers, straight and slender, and white palms. Li Yanzhi used to pull her hands every time she came up. Qi Man clearly remembers the lines on her palms, her temperature, and the softness that these hands bring, but now--

Qi Man put his hands down on his side and said, "President Li will go first."

Li Yanzhi's palm was empty, her expression remained the same, but she curled up and nodded.

The two of them continued to walk forward and stopped in the middle. The roof was in disrepair all the year round, it was corroded by rain, and weeds spread. The environment was not very good, but the two did not dislike it. Li Yanzhi chose a place to sit down. , Looked up.

Qi Man stood by her side. Li Yanzhi was not a cleanliness person, but she had high requirements for everything, especially the quality of life and the environment. Qi Man lived with her for a few years, and it was clear that she loved cleanliness so much. A person, just sitting here, the whole body is full of mess, Qi Man's heart is more complicated, she thinks for a few seconds, still sitting next to Li Yanzhi.

"What kind of star is that?" Li Yanzhi asked Qi Man with a finger.

Qi Man thought that Li Yanzhi was particularly fond of nonsense in the past. About how old she is, she needs this kind of weak'vanity' and always feels better than herself, so she always likes nonsense in the face of Fanxing: "You know over there? Called Cowherd and Vega, my mother said."

She seemed to understand, "What is the Cowherd and Weaver Girl?"

"You don't understand it." Li Yanzhi was particularly arrogant: "Let me tell you next time."

She pointed her finger to the other side: "That's a satellite."

At that time, she didn't understand anything, and looked at her with admiration: "Anything else?"

"There are also Venus." Li Yanzhi said back to her: "But you need to use a telescope to see these. Do you know what a telescope is?"

She shook her head.

Li Yanzhi smiled fiercely.

Yes, at that time, Li Yanzhi would laugh, clutching his belly, laughing on her body, bowed her head, full of fragrance, and she just looked at Li Yanzhi stupidly, as long as she laughed, she would laugh too. , Do not ask the reason.

Qi Man couldn't help but chuckle when thinking of that time, and the warm words of Li Yan beside him: "What are you laughing at?"

"Before I laughed, some people liked to break off." Qi Man pointed to the star Li Yanzhi had just pointed to, "That's probably the Altair star."

Li Yanzhi turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes soft.

Qi Man was a little unnatural when she saw it this way. She coughed softly to cover up her smile, and said seriously: "Mr. Li, the stars have also been seen, should we go back?"

"Sit for a while." Li Yanzhi said, "It's been a long time since I saw the stars."

There are not many stars tonight, in twos and threes, and the moon did not appear. In conclusion, it is not a good time to see the stars, but it is very rare for them to come back together now. I don’t know when next time, maybe never Next time, thinking of this Qi Man, he nodded, stayed with her, and continued to raise his head.

The two slender figures were sitting upright, the lights were dim, swallowing their shadows, and there was silence around, Li Yanzhi's cell phone ticked, she looked down, and explained to Qi Man: "It's the news from Aunt Tang. Ask me if I'm going home. "

This... I don't seem to need to tell her, right?

Qi Man smiled dryly: "Yeah."

Her eyes were erratic, moving up and down. Seeing Li Yanzhi put away her phone, she was determined to break the embarrassing situation and said, "Mr. Li and Mr. Tang have a good relationship?"

Li Yanzhi sat upright, put his hands on his knees, and smiled, "Aunt Tang and my parents have a very good relationship."

Qi Man nodded and went to Tang Yun's house today. She saw those photos and saw that Tang Yun and Li Yanzhi's parents had a very good relationship, but she still felt strange.

When Li Yanzhi finished speaking, he turned to look at Qi Man, and saw her frowning and asking, "What's the matter?"

Qi Man thought for two seconds and said, "Does President Tang have a daughter before?"

Li Yanzhi nodded: "There is one, but it's not one year old."

Qi Man whispered: "I accidentally entered President Tang's bedroom today."

Li Yanzhi was behind her at the time and naturally saw it, but she didn't know what Qi Man wanted to say.

Qi Man was staring at her and shook his head: "It's nothing."

She entered Tang Yun’s bedroom. The decoration was elegant and warm. There was no photo alone. Later, she wandered around the entire suite after eating. She looked at everything except the bedroom. She didn’t see any photos of the child at all. It is strange that Tang Yun is very worried about children and has the habit of taking pictures. Why is there no picture of a child at home, but only two pictures with Li Yanzhi's parents?

This gave her a kind of speculation. Maybe Tang Yun didn't live there at all, or Li Yanzhi's parents were more important than the children, but both of these speculations gave her an inexplicable feeling.

Qi Man didn't know clearly, so he kept silent.

Li Yanzhi didn't get to the bottom of it. Seeing Qi Man didn't say anything, she turned the subject off: "Does Zhang Chunshan know about the 480 problem?"

Recently, she has been contacted more frequently and even sent people to her company to block people. Li Yanzhi heard what he said that Zhang Ling had been sent home to rest.

Qi Man said with a clear voice: "He has found it."

"When will you take over?" Li Yanzhi said, "Do you need my help?"

Qi Man looked up at her. Although she had never cooperated with Li Yanzhi before, but for so long, she heard a lot about Li Yanzhi and took the initiative to help the cooperator. This is not Li Yanzhi’s style of doing things. Qi Man is very Decisively refused: "No need, I let He Ci take over."

What's the background to do things better.

She was confident, confident, and determined to be different from Qi Man who was in the villa before. Li Yanzhi looked at her seriously for a while and nodded: "It's okay to take over."

The atmosphere cooled down again, Qi Man got up and said: "Then it's okay, let's go down."

After sitting for a long time, Qi Man stood by the cold wind. Li Yanzhi had no choice but to follow him. The two walked along the edge of the roof. They happily caught sight of a teacher downstairs with the child, and Qi Man had a stature. When Li Yanzhi noticed that her expression changed slightly, she looked down and looked away. Behind the child and the teacher, they were so far apart that they could not hear the conversation. Li Yanzhi didn't know if Qi Man thought of anything, she whispered: "Qi Man?"

Qi Man was taken aback and returned to her senses. She raised her eyebrows and walked towards the other side. She was upset and her feet were unstable. She almost didn't fall. She still held a hand by Li Yanzhi next to her. Qi Man stabilized her figure and walked away from her. Half an arm: "Thank you."

Li Yanzhi decided to look at her: "Qi Man, are you scared?"

Qi Man's face turned pale when she said that she didn't reply. The two of them faced each other, the cold wind blew, and it was chilly. The teacher and the child who had just walked out not far away came back again. The child was holding a doll in his hand and was crying, watching. It looked like he had come back to pick up a doll, Qi Man breathed a sigh of relief, his face improved visible to the naked eye.

She brushed off the dark thoughts in her mind and said to Li Yanzhi: "I will go down first."

Li Yanzhi grabbed her: "Shall I first?"

In the past, whether going up or down, it was Li Yanzhi who took the lead. She would find the way ahead of time and tell her whether it was safe or not. Let her come this time, Qi Man shook his head: "I'll be the first."

Seemingly stubbornly trying to prove, she bowed her head and helped her to climb down.

It went well. When she got down, she was protected by bodyguards. Qi Man stepped on the ground and shouted, "Mr. Li, come down."

Li Yanzhi stood on the roof, her figure was very wide and long, covering Qi Man completely, like a large shadow, Qi Man raised his head, Li Yanzhi lowered his eyes, eyes facing each other, there was no bright light, and the two of them were clear. Seeing each other's eyes.

Qi Man averted his sight first.

Under Li Yan, she walked two steps back. The adoption home was full of flowers and plants, especially many plants, and the air was full of the scent of flowers. She was standing next to a rose plant. The flowering period had passed, but two flowers remained. The not-so-bright flowers hung on the branches, shaky, the wind blew two pieces of crimson petals off, Qi Man picked up a piece from the ground, and when Li Yanzhi walked around, turned around and handed it to her. Li Yanzhi was surprised. :"What's this?"

"Flower." Qi Man said: "It's just a flower that has withered."

Li Yanzhi held it and heard Qi Man say: "I specifically refused to be adopted at first. When I was taken away, I sneaked back twice."

Refused to be adopted and ran back.

What Qi Man has experienced here, Li Yanzhi knows better than anyone else. She is afraid of this place, fearing this place, but because of herself, she insists on staying here, alone.

Li Yanzhi feels complicated and aches.

Qi Man continued: "Later, I was taken away by my mother. I came here every day after school. From the evening until dark, my mother often waited with me."

"Qi Man, I don't know." Li Yanzhi's voice was unstable and seemed to be suppressed.

Qi Man said in a calm tone: "I didn't mean to blame you. I just want to say, no matter what happened here or the days when I stayed with you, I have never regretted it, but now we should Let go of the previous things."

"Let's go out from here tonight and leave the previous things here, okay?"

There was no moonlight, and only two or three stars remained in the huge night sky. Li Yanzhi stood upright, her hands hanging on her side, one hand holding the petals, she didn't dare to use force, just wrapped her palms, Qi Man fixed her eyes on her When she returned to her, Li Yanzhi pursed his lips: "Qi Man."

"Actually, I didn't plan to come over tonight." Qi Man's expression was not shocked, her eyes were clear, and she merged with the night, with two coolness, she lowered her head and said, "But I want to say goodbye to the past."

"So stay here for the previous things. We will go back to the bridge and back to the bridge."

She thought about this many times, and now she said it, she realized that she was not so difficult to speak. Qi Man's expression relaxed. After speaking in front of Li Yanzhi, she turned and left. His wrist was suddenly grasped, Qi Man lowered his head and saw. A slender hand grabbed her.

"Qi Man." Li Yanzhi stood behind her, thinking about it: "What if I don't want to leave the past here?"

What if she regrets it?

"You don't want to stay here." Qi Man tilted his head to look at Li Yanzhi: "But can you promise me, don't tell me you regret it."

What Li Yanzhi didn't say was blocked. She swallowed back fiercely. Her heart was burning and panic. It was very stuffy and hot. Her voice was muted: "Why?"

"Because I'm afraid I won't be able to refuse you." Qi Man took a deep breath, with sore and delicate pain in her throat. She knew too much how much influence Li Yanzhi had on her. If Li Yanzhi said that she regretted it, she would really be caught. Shake, but she didn't want to.

Qi Man was open-minded: "I don't want to go back to your villa."

In the villa, day after day, living the days of waiting.

Qi Man blinked, her eyes gleaming, her voice tight but stubbornly speaking: "Li Yanzhi, I'm afraid."

She was afraid of being shaken by herself, and she was afraid to continue to be a shameless person.

Qi Man's body was stiff, her face was pale, and the corners of her eyes were red. Li Yanzhi saw her look as if she had been pierced by a needle and withdrew her hands. Her other palm was still encircling the petals. At this moment, the petals were crushed by force. The palm is painful and warm, and the juice of the petals flows out along the fingers, it is dazzling red.
