Chapter 198: but invites you to meet again

Qingcheng Xie returned to Strange Rain Lane, sat down, and took a long time to think.

He did not want to think about what Lishen Xie had just said to himself, those words kept stinging him, disgusting him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Rationally speaking, the ability to like others, which is a good thing for Yu He to say itself is worth celebrating ...... as to what they are feeling, how hard it is, for Qingcheng Xie to say it seems to be no longer so important.

However, that person should never be Lishen Xie.

Qingcheng Xie knows too well what kind of person Lishen Xie is.

His gaze glanced over the walls to the almost unrecognizable traces of frames on the walls - places where, more than twenty years ago, many pictures used to hang, a large part of them, all with the figure of Lishen Xie.

Qingcheng Xie lit a cigarette, took a puff and coughed gently while his eyes were hazy with the scattered smoke, his thoughts went back to many years ago.

--

Qingcheng Xie's grandfather was a small buyer, or in today's terms, a translator.

In those years of poverty and chaos, the buyer would live better than the ordinary boss surname because he was mostly employed by foreign companies. He met a bourgeois lady at work, and they fell in love and got married. However, in the 1970s, the family's fortunes plummeted, and Xie's grandmother was so unbearable that she hung herself, while grandfather never married again. The man with his wife left behind two children, suffered a lot, trying to do a lot of things, and slowly let the family rejuvenated.

The two children he took with him, one was Qingcheng Xie's father, Ping Xie, and the other was Ping Xie's own brother, Qingcheng Xie's eldest uncle.

Ping Xie wanted to become a police officer, and although the vetting process was bumpy, he was eventually approved.

And his brother - Qingcheng Xie's eldest uncle, followed the old man to the city of Yi business, chicken feathers for sugar, business is getting bigger and bigger, slowly become everyone's mouth "Xie boss".

The family days are flourishing, and the old phase of the grandmother has been long-suffering grandfather on the hall, gentle and elegant, the lady of the house never white head, peach blossom eyes smiling, watching their days go by red-hot and smooth. Xie Da Bo got married, Ping Xie also got married ...... children and grandchildren around the knee, the tragic pain of the year have become a light-colored scab.

Until, a woman appeared.

That woman is Ping Xie's brother's mistress.

To say that Uncle Xie this person, that and Ping Xie is completely different, Ping Xie as a police officer, very right-minded, married to Muying Zhou after the couple love, roadside women do not bother to look at. Uncle Xie is a businessman, exposed to too many temptations, restraint and less, slowly, Uncle began to withstand the test.

He and the mistress secretly good for half a year, then the mistress suddenly left, he did not care, anyway, the business world, play well, what can be sincere?

But what he didn't expect was that after another year, the old man's birthday banquet, the family reunion, the mistress suddenly came to the door, asking him to ask for a share of the money, carrying a child in his arms, is actually the seed he left behind.

This child is Lishen Xie.

The wife of Uncle Xie's temperament is very strong, and can even be said to be impulsive, she is a love-hate are like a fiery woman, the family dinner by such an insult and betrayal, how can she endure? The woman, in anger, actually beheaded her mistress a few days later, and then turned herself in.

This incident was a huge blow to the Xie family grandfather, the old man's health was not good for a while, stimulated, soon could not support. Before he died, this stubborn and upright old man made a will, and his entire estate was inherited by his second son Ping Xie, without giving his eldest son a half share.

After the old man passed away, Xie Daibo completely changed.

His son is angry with him for being heartless and betraying his wife, while his son is angry with his old man for being ungrateful and turning his elbow to the outside. Uncle Xie drinks heavily, gambles, and goes after his brother Ping Xie every now and then, and when he returns to his rented room, he beats and scolds Lishen Xie, calling him a "calamity.

Ping Xie could not stand it and tried several times to have a good talk with his elder brother, but he spat on his face -

"Talk? Talk about what? Your wife and children are living in peace, taking advantage of the house and money given to you by the dead old man, living in luxury, and me? If you really think of me as a brother, you can give me half of your property! Half of the money!"

Ping Xie hates iron: "I give you, you turn around and take to gambling, take to prostitution, I still have to go to catch you, you do not change this way, not to mention a million, 10 million to you can not spend six months."

"Bullshit you! If you don't want to give it to you, just say it! Uniform a wear and so many high-sounding reasons, Xie Lao Er, you still want to arrest me? You open your eyes and see clearly! I am your own brother! How many beatings did I take for you when you were a kid? You want to arrest me? How dare you say that!"

He himself scolded not only, but also dragged Lishen Xie over, pointing at Ping Xie to Lishen Xie: "See? See? This is your brother-in-law! Half of their family's good fortune should be ours! It's all your fault, you calamity! You and your mother, that bitch! I have nothing! I have nothing!!!"

He said while slapping Lishen Xie's face with force, the child's face was quickly swollen, tears kept falling ......

Ping Xie rushed forward to stop him, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting the child when it's our business as adults?"

"What's the matter? Mind your family Qingcheng Xie! How can you tell me what to do with my seed? The people's public servant is so lenient, Pacific Police! Stop nagging and I'll tell you, if you nag, I'll beat him to death!"

Ping Xie had no choice but to go in the end.

Before he left, he looked back at Lishen Xie, such a small child, the eyes are already full of hatred, just do not know who that hatred is actually ......

Perhaps it should be the old saying that people are doing the sky is watching, soon after, Xie Da Bo because of alcohol and gambling, an accident on the way home, he was drunk, fell into the river, it was late at night, no one saw, until the next day was hit by the yellow sand boat on the river - at that time, Xie Da Bo people have been swollen, completely lifeless.

After a series of formalities, Ping Xie brought back the only son left in the world by his elder brother.

"Li Shen, from now on you will treat this place as your own home. We'll take care of you. Okay?"

Lishen Xie was still very young at the time, but had a maturity in her eyes that no normal child would have.

He politely said to Ping Xie and Muying Zhou, "Thank you, Uncle, and thank you, Auntie."

Then he turned his head to Qingcheng Xie again.

He stares at Qingcheng Xie longer than anyone else.

"...... Thank you cousin."

Qingcheng Xie grew up as a big straight man, not so sensitive intuition, he did not even notice Lishen Xie's eyes, very casually to Lishen Xie nodded: "Do not be afraid, what needs you find me, we are family."

"......" Lishen Xie laughed a little, "Yeah, okay."

In fact, looking back, Lishen Xie's animosity towards Qingcheng Xie was there from the very beginning.

And after they were together under the same roof, the feeling of hatred did not decrease but increased, more or less partly because Qingcheng Xie this person is too slow.

For example, Qingcheng Xie never cares about the issue of origin, in his opinion, a person is an individual and has nothing much to do with parents and family.

So he is not too shy about Lishen Xie these, watch TV when you see the kind of illegitimate children of the bridge, he also roughly do not change the channel, simply do not realize what the problem.

He can be so open because he thinks Lishen Xie is not like this, he does not make any connection between the two, but Lishen Xie does not think that way, he likes to take the right place, he will speculate that this is Qingcheng Xie is deliberately sarcastic.

Because Lishen Xie himself has put on a pair of tinted glasses called imaginary enemy, so Qingcheng Xie whatever he does is wrong, are ulterior motives, either to harm him, or to sarcasm him. Even Qingcheng Xie casual glance at him, Lishen Xie will be sensitive to want to dig out some deep meaning from this glance.

He hates Qingcheng Xie and likes to deduct the meaning he hopes to get from every word and every act of the other side, there is no meaning he will fabricate a meaning, anyway Qingcheng Xie will not argue with him.

The sad thing about people not understanding each other is that often it is not because they do not have the ability or opportunity to do so, but because deep down they simply do not have the will to do so.

So, Lishen Xie's grudge against Qingcheng Xie is getting deeper and deeper ...... and a large part of it comes from his own imagination, he decided that Qingcheng Xie took away his things and disgusted him, the more he thought about it, the more he felt good hate.

The most typical is that once there was a Chinese New Year stage performance in the community.

For that stage performance, the organizer originally saw Lishen Xie, who was reading a book in the garden at the time, and thought the boy was beautiful and suitable for playing the prince in the story.

Who doesn't like to play a prince as a boy? Lishen Xie was overjoyed, his pride was on his face, and Mr. and Mrs. Ping Xie were happy for him, after all, there were so few things to be excited about in the past, and this was the first time they had seen him jumping like a real little guy of his age.

Qingcheng Xie is also happy for him and thinks he is really suitable for the role.

On the day of the performance, Lishen Xie did his best to portray an elegant and gentlemanly prince on the stage and won the applause of the whole audience.

He thought he could win the best performance award ...... behind the contestants were too inadequate, most of the children were looking for a good time, and did not prepare too seriously, so they forgot the words, out of tune, Lishen Xie was very excited, just waiting to go on stage to receive the award.

But at the end of the show, Qingcheng Xie went up.

He certainly didn't join his cousin in performing some stage show. He sat down at a piano, dropping his eyelashes, and played the theme song from Cinema Paradiso amidst the tranquil beams of light. The light falling on the keys was gently shattered by him, each note scattered like ripples in the summer night breeze.

At the end of the song, Lishen Xie heard someone whispering, "Wow, that's nice ......"

"He is the prince of my heart ......"

Lishen Xie's face turned blue at once.

He didn't even know that Qingcheng Xie would end up playing a piano piece on stage because the person hosting the show was a close classmate of his and needed his support - he couldn't listen to anything, he just knew that Qingcheng Xie had stolen all his thunder!

He was so angry that his eyes were glowing red, and when he returned home that day, he suddenly asked Qingcheng Xie in a shrill voice: "Why did you go to the show? Why do you want to do the same thing as me? Are you deliberately sarcastic? Are you deliberately trying to compete with me? To take away my things!!!"

"......" Qingcheng Xie froze for a moment, "...... is a classmate looking for me... ...What's wrong with you?"

What's going on.

He had the nerve to ask what happened!

If he hadn't primped and dressed up like a little prince, and pretended to play the piano, he would have been praised as "His Highness"? He did it on purpose! He deliberately acted as if he didn't understand! His hypocrisy is disgusting!

Lishen Xie gritted his teeth and said nothing, but the way Qingcheng Xie played the piano became a nightmare for him countless nights later. Later, when the Xie family fell into despair and moved out of their original upscale neighborhood and had to sell the family's piano to raise money for an operation on the sick Muying Zhou, Lishen Xie's heart felt a burst of ecstasy.

He looked at Qingcheng Xie that pair of hands that used to leap on the keys, moving the rough boards, cardboard, helping his parents organize things, wiping tables and washing dishes ...... his heart piled up for years of that bad breath finally able to get out.

Yes ...... Qingcheng Xie a family took away his normal life.

They took the money that belonged to his father and then had to appear to him as a rescuer!

Qingcheng Xie stole his riches and took his place ...... Now the tide is turning and the family is going downhill, Qingcheng Xie can no longer take the expensive piano lessons and cannot pose as his noble son, Lishen Xie thought joyfully --Cousin, you took everything away from me, and now you're just like me.

The same poor.

The same kind of distress.

You are not a noble son, not a prince, you are just a poor child in a broken alley. Your parents made a mistake and were both demoted ...... very humiliating, right? Your parents have also fallen from grace, you, too, should feel as blushing as I do!

It's time for you to bow your head.

But Lishen Xie never expected that Qingcheng Xie's mentality would not change at all.

Qingcheng Xie has even become more knowledgeable and responsible than before, and he has grown up, puberty has arrived, his body is beginning to twitch, he has become more and more handsome, and when school is over, he will even be followed by a group of chattering girls with red faces, the girls have been following him home, and then when he looks up and out, they are giggling and scattering.

The neighbors began to call him "handsome" and Lishen Xie was also handsome, but as long as Qingcheng Xie was there, "handsome" would always be Qingcheng Xie's name, not his.

Lishen Xie hated, he hated to look at the figure of Qingcheng Xie, looking at the gradually broad shoulders, smooth lines of the back, taut legs, the old acacia tree back to raise their eyes, the pair seems to hide the peach blossom eyes of April day on earth.

He hates his heart, he seems to be afraid of every inch of Qingcheng Xie's light and growth, Qingcheng Xie's every move, in Lishen Xie seems to be the original sin.

Even if Qingcheng Xie left as much delicious food as he could for his younger siblings during the family's most difficult days, it seemed to Lishen Xie that he was making a show, a "charity" in disguise.

Does he think he's really a prince?

No ...... no no! He's nothing but a thief who stole his life! Their whole family is a thief!

When I got to junior high school, Lishen Xie finally didn't want to pretend.

He began to put his rebellion on the surface, he often did not come home, outside the foolishness, to the Ping Xie couple found countless trouble, the Ping Xie couple although anxious, but because Lishen Xie after all is not their own children, the child is particularly delicate, so they do not dare to say too heavy words with him, but only bitter words of education.

Lishen Xie doesn't listen.

This painless situation lasted for more than half a semester until one time, the school leadership publicly disciplined Lishen Xie for being caught in early love.

The target is a boy from the next vocational high school.

I can't believe it's a male student!

Qingcheng Xie and Lishen Xie is a junior high school, Qingcheng Xie at that time in the stage after listening to the incident, the whole person is frozen, a pair of eyes open big. The name of the boy reported by the school director no one does not know, is the worst male students in that vocational school, both men and women play, and Lishen Xie actually got together with him.

Qingcheng Xie was furious, after the morning meeting, he found Lishen Xie, asked him what was going on, Lishen Xie rolled his eyes: "I'm screwing men, you care?"

Qingcheng Xie a slap on his face ......

The two cousins had a big fight and Lishen Xie spilled all the grievances that had been pent up in his heart over the years, scolding Qingcheng Xie and the Ping Xie couple, and then left the Xie family that night to stay at his "boyfriend's" house.

This is a trigger lock, hidden after this, in fact, Lishen Xie from the very beginning of the birth, has been destined to cross the conflict between their two families. Since then, Lishen Xie's relationship with their family has faded.

Later, Ping Xie couple died, Lishen Xie even the funeral did not attend, and even took advantage of Qingcheng Xie anxious when running back to the Xie family, stole Ping Xie hidden in the five-drawer cupboard 30,000 yuan emergency expenses, panic, he also broke a jade pendant in the drawer, the jade pendant is Muying Zhou's favorite Ru Yi pendant ...... smashed on the floor and broke in half.

Qingcheng Xie reported the crime, but did not expect that the "criminal" he saw at the police station would be Lishen Xie with an indifferent face.

Qingcheng Xie said, "...... Do you know what you are doing!"

Lishen Xie said, "Of course I know that all this should have belonged to my father, it was your father who took the money that belonged to my father, and it was you who took the life that belonged to me."

Qingcheng Xie was so exhausted that he barely had the strength to argue with Lishen Xie.

The last thing he asked Lishen Xie was, " Lishen Xie, you are a fucking animal ...... where have we treated you wrong all these years?"

Lishen Xie was quiet for a few seconds before replying, "You took what was rightfully mine and then came back to give it to me, and you want to talk to me about treating me poorly or not?"

"It was your mother who did the wrong thing in the first place-"

"My mother was merely pursuing her own happiness."

"...... You shouldn't think like that, you shouldn't become like her."

Lishen Xie stares at Qingcheng Xie, peach blossom eyes against peach blossom eyes.

Lishen Xie said: " Qingcheng Xie, my way, I will choose, I even when a true villain, but not to be a hypocrite like you. You wait for me, whether it takes ten years, twenty years ...... one day, I will turn what you have into what I have, Ping Xie took from my parents and did not return the things, later, I will personally come to get! I will let you taste everything you have been taken away from you. When the time comes to have mercy on you or not, it's all up to me."

"......"

"Cousin, we'll see about that."

Unknowingly, several cigarettes were smoked out.

Qingcheng Xie thought about all the things that happened back then, raised his hand to support the Solar Plexus and took a deep breath, only to feel his head hurt like it was about to split.

He got up, ready to take a pill and go to bed, however at that moment, the phone suddenly rang.

The caller was a complete stranger.

Qingcheng Xie got through: "Hello."

The voice on the other end of the phone was a familiar low, magnetic, slow voice.

"Mr. Xie."

The pain on the side of Qingcheng Xie's forehead became more pronounced, with a slight dizziness that made him breathless, as Yu He's voice was on the other end of the line.

"...... What do you want?"

"Nothing, just thinking about it, today at the cafe, I offended you a bit. Although I just don't want you to make a move on my people, ......" Yu He smiled soberly, "Thinking about that arm of yours, it seems like you've still been injured. ...... was once injured trying to save me."

"......"

"Give me a chance to apologize." Yu He said, "Next weekend, let's have dinner together?"

Qingcheng Xie endured a headache: "It's not necessary."

"I have the impression that you are not such a careful person." Yu He smiled, "Won't even give me a chance to reconcile?"

Before Qingcheng Xie could answer, he added, "You don't have to answer me right away, you have a few days before the weekend to think about it. Maybe in the process, I would like to reveal to you some secrets that happened in the past two or three years?"

Qingcheng Xie : "......"

"Then let's do that for now." Yu He smiled, "I'll send you the address, and I'll be waiting for you at that place on the weekend whether you come or not."

His voice is very beautiful, with age, gradually with some compulsive air.

"I hope we can, see each other."
