Chapter 56
Chapter 56: Sleepwalking Like A Shadow Chasing The Light (9)
It was not long before the summer vacation in Germany, and instead of living in the doctoral dormitory arranged by the school, Lin Qianyin rented a small villa in a small town.
Her family has always been relatively wealthy, and she is not stingy with the money.
This small town is very remote, and there are hardly any taxis that can get to this town. Senior sister specially drove a car to pick him up.
Chao Ci came to this town by car, looked at the town through the window, and suddenly understood why his senior sister wanted to live in this place.
The town is said to be a town, but it is actually similar to a village, and the buildings are not dense. A river runs through the town slowly and leisurely, reflecting large fields, or yellow-white or purple-orange flowers, and warm orange red brick houses.
Like stepping into a warm and peaceful dream.
Chao Ci narrowed his eyes, and the despair and heaviness seemed to have become a little lighter.
In the end, the senior sister stopped in front of a two-story villa, and Chao Ci could see the chamomile and valerian planted on the flower terrace in front of the courtyard at a glance. There is also a large cluster of hydrangeas.
In front of the court is a large green space, and seven or eight irregular round stone bricks extend from the front of the door.
As soon as the senior sister stopped the car, she quickly opened the trunk, took out Chao Ci’s luggage, and greeted Chao Ci by the way: “Come on, come on, move your luggage to the second floor, I packed a small Chaoyang little boy. room, make sure you like it!”
She said, without waiting for the remarks, she carried the heaviest suitcase, opened the door and went in.
Chao Ci touched his breath, so he felt that the world of Abo was weird. He was an omega here, and he was weaker than a soft girl. And his senior sister, a girl with a big chest and a thin waist, is a beta, and usually likes to exercise, and is much stronger than him.
So Chao Ci stayed in this small town.
His senior sister has a restless temperament. Although he likes the scenery of this town, he rarely stays in the town all day. Basically, I drive out in the morning and don’t come back until late afternoon.
But she is still very responsible. Knowing that Chao Ci just came to this foreign country, he must have been unaccustomed to many places. At the beginning, he honestly accompanied Chao Ci for several days, taught him various matters to pay attention to, and accompanied him to many places, including her university, some Supermarkets, shopping malls, etc., there are also some particularly interesting places. When I went out to play with my friends, I also brought the court speech, and I never left him out on the way.
However, the character of Chao Ci in this world is not good at socializing and is quiet. To put it bluntly, he likes to stay at home. Running around every day and playing with a group of people I don’t know, although everyone is friendly, Chao Ci is still a little uncomfortable. After a few days, Chao Ci offered to take a rest for a few days.
The senior sister also knew what her junior brother’s temperament was, so she didn’t force him, so she let him stay in the town for a few days.
Chao Ci doesn’t have nothing to do at home. He has decided to apply for a doctorate at the university where his sister is studying. He has been preparing materials for the past few days.
There is a wooden table and two chairs in front of the courtyard of the small villa, Chao Ci especially likes to sit there and read a book.
The sun kissed his cheek gently, and jumped to the page of his book to look at him. Valerian beside him also poked his head and wanted to join in the fun. The aroma of tea in his hand gently brushed the tip of his nose.
An afternoon passed slowly, the sun had already touched the edge of the horizon, squeezed out a little warm yellow lingering curl, crossed the floating particles, and sprinkled it in the hair of Chao Ci.
At this point, Senior Sister should be back.
Thinking like this, Chao Ci couldn’t help but look up at the distance in the path in front of the door.
It’s just that this small road that can only accommodate two cars walking side by side is still empty, but before Chao Ci retracted his gaze, he saw a figure in the courtyard next to him.
Chao Ci subconsciously shifted his gaze there.
In the courtyard next to him, there was an easel more than one meter high, and behind him was a tall young man holding a paintbrush and meeting his gaze.
But after taking a closer look, Chao Ci froze.
Lin Zheng…? !
How could he come here?
But Lin Dai, who was staring at him, didn’t know what the person he was watching was thinking at this time.
He just scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
He originally just wanted to come out and take a scene, but the young omega looked so beautiful reading a book under the warm sun, he couldn’t help but draw it.
He said to Chao Ci through the fence: “I’m sorry, I painted you without your permission. Can I leave this painting to you?”
He spoke German, and his tone was soft and soft. However, although Chao Ci learned some German in college, he was not very proficient. At this time, Lin Dai was too far away from him, and he was completely overwhelmed by the surprise that “Lin Zheng actually followed him here”, and he didn’t have the heart to listen to Lin Dai’s unreasonable words.
He glanced at the other party and wanted to run directly back to the house to close the door, but he knew that in front of Lin Zheng it would be like stealing the bell, so he forced himself out of the yard after being stunned for a while.
The yard next door was open, and he walked in easily.
He stood two meters in front of Lin Qi, his voice trembling: “What are you doing here?”
“You knew me before?” Lin Dai was even stranger than Chao Ci.
Hearing this, Chao Ci opened his eyes slightly: “You don’t remember me?”
He began to look carefully at the man in front of him.
It was only at this time that I realized that Lin Zheng seemed to be very wrong now.
Lin Zheng always wears a neat suit, even if he doesn’t wear a formal suit in private, he is meticulous in his clothes. But the young man in front of him was only wearing casual clothes, and there were many colorful patches on the clothes. The green eyes were not like a deep pool like Lin Zheng, but like a lake with clear waves.
No matter how you look at it, this person has nothing in common except for the appearance of Lin Zheng.
“You…Aren’t you Lin Zheng?” Chao Ci asked blankly.
“Lin Zheng?” Lin Dai blinked, and the name evoked a memory that he hadn’t thought of for a long time.
“So you know my brother.” He suddenly realized that he couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Lin Zheng is your brother?” Chao Ci couldn’t help asking.
“Yeah.” Lin Dai didn’t hide it, “I and he are twins, but our parents divorced when we were five or six years old. My mother and I went to the United States, and he stayed in China with his father.”
He said, looking at Chao Ci, his expression suddenly condensed.
“Wait, I seem to be familiar with you too,” he said.
Chao Ci took a breath.
A guess that he had never thought about, but was ready to come out at this moment, flooded into his heart.
“Have you… been to China?” He asked softly with trembling lips.
“A?” This seemed to be a relatively unfamiliar place to him.
“You mean, the middle school in City A? The one that Lin Zheng attended?”
“Yes.” Chao Ci nodded.
Lin Dai looked at Chao Ci carefully and suddenly understood.
He smiled and said, “I know where I have seen you. Are you the little guy who was bullied that day?”
There was a rumbling sound in my head.
Chao Ci looked up at the man, as if something in his heart had been completely shattered.
It was the fortress he built for eight years, and the prison that bound him for eight years.
His eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn’t bear to take a few steps back, and finally squatted down with his hands covering the back of his head.
Seeing that he was so sad all of a sudden, Lin Dai’s worry was accompanied by surprise.
He half squatted down, looked down at Chao Ci who had curled himself into a small ball, and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Chao Ci has no way to answer.
For this person, he chased for eight years and carried half his life.
But he was wrong.
And the people who were really in his heart eight years ago knew nothing about his dramatic efforts and had nothing to do with it.
His mind was a mess, and he couldn’t make up his mind and couldn’t make it out, he could only cry uncontrollably.
Seeing that he didn’t answer, Lin Dai didn’t ask any more questions, just looked at him silently.
After a long time, he tentatively reached out and patted Chao Ci’s back.
Chao Ci stood up like an electric shock.
At this time, his current appearance completely fell into Lin Da’s eyes.
When he saw the omega sitting next door a few hours ago, he noticed that the omega had a pair of beautiful eyes.
According to their oriental division, it should be called Peach Blossom Eye.
But it is round, and it looks like an almond eye.
At that time, he was looking at the book intently, and his amber eyes twitched from time to time, which was very beautiful.
But now he was crying red and his eyes were swollen.
He was about to say something, but saw Chao Ci and said first: “Sorry, I’ll go back first.”
After he finished speaking, he turned and hurried back to his yard, closing the door again.
…
For eight years, only one person has been seen in Chao Ci’s eyes.
In fact, it was sometimes difficult for him to tell what kind of feelings he had for Lin Zheng.
Because eight years ago, he had never enjoyed a trace of warmth. Sometimes I think it’s ridiculous and strange to think about it. There are so many people in the world who don’t mean to give strangers some tenderness and care. Why hasn’t he met any of them?
Until that night, he met the boy.
He backed away those people, took him in his arms, and patted his back lightly, as if to comfort him.
He asked him, “You seem to be injured. You need to check… Can you still walk?”
I looked up at that time, and through the dim moonlight, I saw his emerald green eyes, like a clear spring.
Maybe it’s just a handful of spring water that can be scooped up.
But he was trapped for eight years.
This is not the **** of the other party, but stems from the greed deep in Chao Ci’s own heart.
He walked over the thorns with bare feet, just to get closer to him.
He didn’t care whether the thorns pierced his skin, his flesh, his bones, until the thorns pierced his heart mercilessly.
He knew it was over.
Dragging the bruised body to a foreign country, trying to fill the empty shell with some flesh and blood with tranquility and time.
But now, he actually found out that all this was just a complete mistake and teasing!
From the moment he left Jade Palace, he had put everything down on Lin Zheng, whether it was Lin Zheng or the one hundred and eighty yuan.
But it turned out that the one hundred and eighty yuan should not be returned to Lin Zheng.
But he’d traveled too much, had too many injuries, and didn’t have the energy for another chase.
So be it.
At least, the boy he thought had already changed had never changed.
At least there is this good thing.
…
Chao Ci thought about it for a whole night, and he decided to let it go.
It wasn’t until the next morning when Senior Sister left, she opened the gate of the courtyard fence, and Chao Ci heard a bell from downstairs.
He dragged his body downstairs and opened the door.
I saw a tall young man standing at the door with a painting in his hand.
“I wanted to give you this painting yesterday – after all, I painted you without your permission, I don’t know if you like it or not.”
