The high cold white moonlight is really fragrant to me

Chapter 21

At the dinner table, Yin Xiong was sitting next to Yin Wei. The father and son had very similar auras, and both looked a little serious, but Yin Wenwen seemed to have gotten used to it a long time ago. She was smiling with her father Yin Wei after class There was also what elder brother Yin Xiong was talking about. Su Ho was listening to Yin Wenwen's words with a smile at first, but soon, her attention could not help but shifted to Yin Ying who was not talking much.

You know, normally, Yin Ying is as lively as Yin Wenwen, but today she just ate in silence. Su Ho noticed that her second son seemed to be a little out of control, Su Ho couldn't help but asked with some concern:

"Yingying, what's wrong?"

Yin Ying, who was still thinking about what happened just now, suddenly recovered after being called out by Su Ho. He raised his eyes to look at Su Ho and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

However, Su Ho's expression was obviously a little worried: "Is it because she was sick two days ago and didn't recover?" She knew that Yin Ying had hanged water in the hospital two days ago.

Yin Ying shook her head hurriedly, just about to say that she has nothing to do, but she heard her father's voice: "This Lu family doesn't have much ability, but they are very good at it."

The voice was trembling, obviously a little angry.

Yin Xiong's expression didn't change much, but his eyes became sharper, but he didn't say much at the dinner table.

Yin Wei was aroused and kept talking, Su Ho glanced at him: "Let's eat first."

The voice was soft, but it was very effective. Yin Xiong, who was still blushing, picked up the chopsticks again, and gave Su Ho a piece of perch.

At this time Yin Wei said lightly: "Dad, Lu Tianrui has been looking for me these days, saying that he wants to bring Lu Bingzhu to the house to apologize."

Yin Ying was a little surprised after hearing Yin Wei's words. He thought that the boss of the Lu family would definitely cherish his only son and refused to attribute the fault to Lu Bingzhu. Who knew he was willing to bring Lu Bingzhu to the door to apologize.

It's just that Yin Ying was not surprised for a long time when she heard Yin Wei continue to say: "The reason is that the people who were arrested by Lu Bingzhu have already made a statement to the police station. If we pursue it, his son will have to go in and sit for a few days at least. "

After hearing this, Yin Ying suddenly realized: If she didn't come to apologize, she would have to watch her son get into trouble, no wonder she was so anxious to come to the door now.

Yin Wei, who was sitting at the head of the table, snorted coldly after hearing this: "Where is the time to see him, I have to go to the old man's place these days." It was clear in his words that he didn't want to see Lu Tianrui and his son: "It was him who was in prison. The son should do it himself."

Yin Xiong nodded unsurprisingly: "Understood."

Yin Ying was a little curious: "What are you doing at Grandpa's place?"

Su Ho touched his cheek: "Your grandfather needs someone to accompany him if he wants to visit his old comrade-in-arms, and Xue Tuan needs someone to take care of him at home."

After dinner, Yin Wei called his father, but the old man kept saying on the phone: "You all don't come, I can go by myself, I know the address, why can't I go, Xuetuan, I have already told the pet store Tell me, stay with them for a day."

Yin Wei: "Yes..."

Yin Chengduan interrupted: "Don't come, don't come, what do you do with me, go do your own things, I'm clean alone."

Now Yin Wei didn't know what to say, he just looked at Su Ho, and wanted to give Su Ho the phone to persuade her, but before Yin Wei handed over the phone, the old man on the other end suddenly changed his mind. mouthed:

"If Yin Ying can come, let Yin Ying accompany me. You and Yin Xiong are both busy, and He He has just returned to China. Wenwen is about to take an exam recently. Go and work on your work. Just let Yin Ying accompany me."

After hearing this, Yin Wei also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let Yin Ying come to accompany you." As long as Yin Chengduan is willing to let others accompany him, Yin Wei will feel relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Yin Weikuan looked at Su Ho who was opposite him, and Su Ho nodded to him.Yin Wei suddenly said: "I remember Dad's old comrade-in-arms is the one surnamed Li? Hasn't he been in Shanxi for the past few years, and now he moved back?"

Su Ho nodded lightly: "It should have moved back, Dad didn't say that he would leave City A."

On the other side, Yin Ying is currently in the piano room at home.

Originally, there were two separate piano rooms in the Yin residence, one for Yin Ying and one for Yin Wenwen, but now Yin Wenwen's voice could be heard from the piano room.

It turned out that Yin Wenwen was bored after dinner, so she consulted with Yin Ying, who was planning to practice the piano, about the trio.

Yin Ying was originally chatting with Li Xu. After feeling that Li Xu might have recalled things from her childhood, she didn't know how to reply for a while, but the other party didn't continue to send messages. Yin Ying, who was a little confused, planned to come up to practice. Playing the piano, Yin Wenwen also followed.

Yin Ying also seriously helped Yin Wenwen think about it: "You haven't found what you like, or is it because of something?"

Yin Wenwen was a little worried and said: "Actually, there were people who wanted to be with me at the beginning, but they were all at the same time. If there were too many invitations, it would be difficult for me to agree, because I felt that if I agreed to this, the other person would be unhappy."

"As a result, we dragged on, and we haven't formed a team yet."

After thinking for a while, Yin Ying took out her mobile phone: "Let me ask Yu Zhou for you, what do you think? He is also a violin student in your sophomore year, and he should also participate in this assessment."

Yin Wenwen recalled it for a while, and then said, "Is that the one at the celebration banquet last time? The boy who asked you to be his companion."

Yin Ying nodded: "How is it?"

Yin Wenwen: "I can do it, but I don't know if he has formed a group now."

Yin Ying sent a few messages to explain the situation, and soon received a reply from Yu Zhou.The other party agreed, saying that he had no idea who to form a team with, and was very happy to form a team with Yin Ying's sister, after all, Yin Wenwen was the No.1 performer in the violin department last time.

Seeing that things were settled, Yin Ying said to Yin Wenwen: "Then I will push him to you."

Yin Wenwen responded, "Hmm." Then she lowered her head and took out her mobile phone, but suddenly heyed.

Yin Ying didn't understand, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Wenwen showed her mobile phone screen to Yin Ying: "Just now Shi Yajing suddenly came to me and said that she wanted to form a team."

"Now the group is full of three people."

Such a coincidence.

Yin Ying blinked her eyes and was about to say something when she heard a knock on the door of the piano room - Su Ho walked in from the door.

...

Su Ho and Yin Ying talked about asking him to accompany Yin Chengduan for two days, and Yin Ying quickly agreed, but lying on the bed at night, Yin Ying couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning.

He took out his phone and looked at it, and the message still stayed where Li Xu said I'm sorry.

Isn't it bad not to reply.

However, he really didn't know how to reply.

Yin Ying was in trouble, looking at the screen, she really didn't know what to do.

But not long after, Yin Ying suddenly felt that she was a little too entangled:

Obviously, he was the one who wanted Li Xu to remember those things in the beginning, but now that Li Xu remembered things from his childhood, he felt embarrassed and didn't want to reply to the news.

It's also good to talk about the things when you were young together, isn't this what I have always hoped for.

Thinking of this, the appearance of the boy Li Xu giving sugar came to Yin Ying's mind again.Thinking of this past event again, Yin Ying couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of her lips, and finally stopped hesitating and was about to send a reply to Li Xu.

You finally remembered?

It's just that this line of words carrying a lot of emotions had just been typed and before it was sent, Yin Ying saw a new message from Li Xu.

After seeing the new message clearly, Yin Ying's eyes suddenly became astonished.Originally full of joy, it became difficult for him to resend the typed line at hand.The message from the other side is:

[Li_]: Can we just be ordinary friends?

...

It's not that Li Xu didn't notice the change in his feelings towards Yin Ying.

Unconsciously, he began to care about Yin Ying's thoughts and pay attention to Yin Ying's every move. When he woke up, he found that he no longer seemed to be getting along with Yin Ying only with the idea of ​​making friends.

This discovery made Li Xu feel guilty.

He didn't stick to the principles he set for himself from the beginning, and he also violated his original intention of not wanting to delay Yin Ying.

Originally, he firmly rejected the other party, but now he is stuck in it, which will only add to the pain of both parties in the future.

Li Xu knew that he had no way to have a good relationship with Yin Ying, and he couldn't give Yin Ying what he wanted.He only felt that Yin Ying was such a beautiful and warm person, he could not give him the affection he wanted long ago.

He has long since become crippled.

Someone had left him with all his passionate feelings.

At this time, a tall and thin figure appeared in Li Xu's mind, and Li Xu's heart couldn't help but prickly, and the previous leg injury seemed to be starting to ache.Li Xu knew that this was a psychological effect. At this time, recalling the pain before, he decided to restrain his intolerance, stop this meaningless relationship in time, explain clearly to Yin Ying again, and apologize to the other party.

It's just that in the middle of sending the message, Chen Yueru walked in suddenly.

"Xu, your dad is coming back from the army in the next two days."

Li Xu put down the phone: "Okay."

Chen Yueru looked at her stalwart son, and suddenly sighed: "You two should have a good talk this time, you don't talk all day long, it doesn't look like a family anymore."

Li Xu's eyes darkened, as if he remembered the past again: "Dad, he doesn't want to listen to me."

Chen Yueru glared at Li Xu: "Who told you to do it for me, for me..." Chen Yueru stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, then sighed again, and looked at Li Xu: "For that person, you knelt at the door again!" It’s also said, your dad was so angry that he beat you, you just let it go, he told you to stop, but you still refused, what happened.”

"As a result, people simply..."

Li Xu felt another thorn in his heart, and couldn't help but interrupt his mother: "Mom, you know that he also got into trouble with the family because of this incident, and I can't separate from him just because Dad disagrees. And after that... Li Xu closed his eyes, and then continued to Chen Yueru: "I'm sorry for him and caused him to lose his job. It's normal for him to separate from me."

Chen Yueru sighed again: "That's no wonder you. Someone with a heart took a photo and reported it to his unit. He is, and he is, the kind of job where such things can't happen... Let's separate, it's fine if you separate, you Talk to your dad now and apologize, or else it will be fine."

Li Xu was silent and did not speak.

Chen Yueru knew what Li Xu was probably thinking, and felt even more worried: "It wasn't you who reported it, I know his family cut off contact with him because of this incident, but he is still with you now, you Why do you still have to stay with him and refuse to apologize to your father, and the family stays happily together."

"I'm still talking about it when we're still together. Now that we're separated, it's their family's business that they refuse to forgive him. You can't think about it. You have to suffer the same crime as him."

Chen Yueru seemed to be unable to stop talking: "What's so good about that person, he didn't separate from you at first, but your leg hurts, and suddenly you said you were going to separate, this..."

Li Xu said: "Stop talking, Mom, I know."

Chen Yueru: "You know what you know!"

Chen Yue, who has always been happy, only had a sad face at this time: "You father and son have a bad relationship, and you are at home all day long. I want to live with He Meimei, but as a result, you go out as soon as your father comes home. , your dad will go back to the army as soon as you come home, making me stay with my little sister all day long."

Li Xu: "Didn't you say that playing mahjong was fun two days ago?"

Chen Yueru snorted when she heard the words: "I'm happier both of you father and son are at home!" After saying that, she seemed to ignore Li Xu, put down a cup of mung bean soup in her hand, stood up and walked out of the room, only But he didn't go out immediately at the door, but turned his head and said to Li Xu: "Anyway, you are not allowed to hide anywhere when your father comes home! You two have a good talk with me, you understand?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Xu to reply, he turned and left the room.

Li Xu, who was left alone in the room, only felt the thorn in his heart become more and more obvious after talking with Chen Yueru. Countless past memories were instantly recalled, and the old wound on his calf seemed to start to hurt again.

The severe pain of being stabbed into the calf with a dagger by the target mission during the mission resurfaced in Li Xu's mind again, accompanied by the decisive figure of the man in the hospital: "Li Xu, let's stop seeing each other again."

At that time, Li Xu was diagnosed with some damage to the tendons and nerves in his legs. Whether he could walk normally in the future was uncertain. At this time, the man came to the hospital and told him not to have any more contact. discourse.

Before that, Li Xu had already been under a lot of pressure after coming out to his family, and then someone deliberately posted a report letter and photos to that person's work unit. At that time, both of them were under great pressure. He was very worried about the other party, but he didn't say anything to Li Xu about breaking up, as if they survived together like that.

Li Xu originally thought that he had already gone through such storms together, but not long after, he was pierced by a gangster with a dagger in his calf during a mission, and when he heard the news that he might be unable to walk in the future, he was already somewhat hopeless , After seeing Lin Qingrui coming to see him, Li Xuqiang tried to pretend to be okay, not wanting to worry Lin Qingrui, but in the next second he heard the words from the other party's mouth that he wanted to separate from him.

Afterwards, Lin Qingrui left City A and never contacted Li Xu again.Li Xu's leg injury healed, but although it didn't affect his daily walking, he couldn't carry out armed tasks that required a lot of physical fitness, so he was forced to retire to civilian work.

These days, the leg injury seems to be healed to the naked eye, leaving only a horrible scar.But only Li Xu knew in his heart that there were many things that could never get better, and some things were taken by that person and left him completely.

Li Xu only felt that it was impossible for him to repair some things in such a short period of time, and he also had no way to respond to Yin Ying's feelings properly.

He had been injured, and all that was left was his precautions and vigilance, as well as some exhausted exhaustion. He could no longer deal with the eager and sincere Yin Ying, nor could he give Yin Ying the affection he wanted.

Thinking of this, Li Xu took out his mobile phone, all the unbearable feelings in his heart were completely gone this time, and he sent Yin Ying a message that should have been sent a long time ago.

[Li_]: Can we just be ordinary friends?

After sending the message, Li Xu closed his eyes tiredly, and stopped looking at the still lit phone screen.

Li Xu knew that this time, Yin Ying would never talk to him again.

Some of the tenderness in his heart was forcibly suppressed, and Li Xu only felt a little more tingling in his heart.

Sure enough, as he expected, Yin Ying did not reply, and after that, he never sent another message.

...

Li Xu only thought that he would never have anything to do with Yin Ying again, but fate seemed to deliberately want to watch a good show, like two big hands, insisting on bringing them together.

He didn't expect that the visiting comrade-in-arms of his grandfather, whom he and his father were waiting for, would actually bring Yin Ying by his side.

When opening the door, Yin Ying also saw him all of a sudden, her expression suddenly became a little absent-minded, and she looked away instantly. Seeing Yin Ying's disappointed expression, Li Xu couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, but what happened to Li Xu's father? Li Xiang'an was ready to welcome people in.

Yin Chengduan didn't enter the room, and went straight to the point: "Shall we go together now?"

After thinking about it, Li Xiang'an still respected the old man's meaning: "Okay."

It turned out that Yin Chengduan's old comrade-in-arms, that is, Li Xiang'an's father Li Yuanshan, died of a heart attack a year ago. Yin Chengduan came to worship on his memorial day, and did not tell Yin Wei and others the truth. , Yin Ying only heard Yin Chengduan's talk not long ago when he accompanied him.

It's just that Yin Ying never thought that Yin Chengduan's old comrade-in-arms turned out to be Li Xu's grandfather.

This is too coincidental.

But at this time, Yin Ying only felt sad and embarrassed seeing Li Xu, but it was not easy to show it in front of his elders, so he just sat in Li Xiang'an's car with Yin Chengduan in silence, and went to the cemetery of Li Xu's grandfather Li Yuanshan.

The car was silent all the way, and Yin Chengduan's heart was obviously heavy. When he arrived at the cemetery, he saw the black and white portrait of his former comrade-in-arms, and Yin Chengduan couldn't help sighing heavily.

Standing in front of the tombstone in silence for a long time, then suddenly said: "Brother, I'm late."

In the year Li Xu's grandfather had a heart attack, Li Xu's family hadn't come to City A yet. When Yin Chengduan got the news and rushed over, Li Xu's grandfather was gone, and he could only wait until today in the second year. Come to worship.

This situation makes people feel desolate, and the former comrades-in-arms can no longer talk to him at this time, reminiscing about the old days of fighting side by side together.

But on the return journey, Yin Chengduan's mood seemed to ease a lot, as if he had something on his mind.

He said to Li Xiang'an: "Your family is good. You are still in the army. No one in our family will continue to serve the country. Your family is good."

Li Xiang'an hurriedly said: "The common people can contribute to the country, not to say that only soldiers can contribute."

Yin Chengduan smiled and shook his head without saying a word, but soon said: "Your son looks good, the young man is also in the army, right?"

Yin Ying, who was sitting with Yin Chengduan at the back, flickered her eyes, but she still didn't make a sound after all, and quietly moved her gaze out of the window.

Li Xu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, hurriedly said at this time: "You are too proud, and now you are working in the police station."

Yin Chengduan nodded: "It's also very good, the people's police, it's an honor, even those who are usually suffering are dangerous, so pay attention to safety."

Li Xiang'an replied at this time: "No, no, he injured his leg when he was on a mission last year, and now he is a civilian."

Yin Chengduan couldn't help sighing when he heard the words: "Oh, the sacrifice is too great. He is really a good citizen of the country."

It's just that Yin Ying was a little restless at this moment, his eyes moved back from the window involuntarily, and looked at Li Xu who was sitting in the co-pilot seat in front of him.

He only knew that Li Xu was a civil servant, but he never knew that Li Xu became a civil servant because of a leg injury.

Yin Ying originally thought that Li Xu had changed his mind after growing up and was no longer obsessed with being a people's hero who catches bad guys, but unexpectedly, it was a last resort.

Did Li Xu suffer from such a serious leg injury?

Yin Ying couldn't help looking in Li Xu's direction, but was blocked by the seat and couldn't see anything clearly.

At this time, Li Xiang'an's respectful voice came from the front: "Go to my house and sit for a while."

Yin Chengduan smiled and refused: "No, no, I have something to do later, so I won't bother you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Xiangan to say anything else, he took out something from his bag and handed it to the front. Li Xu, who was not driving, took it and found that it was a small old photo album with a sense of time.

Yin Chengduan said at this time: "These are some old photos of Lao Li I found at home. I brought them here in order to give you better."

Li Xiang'an hurriedly thanked him, and said that he wanted Mr. Yin to come to his house for a while and have a meal, but Yin Chengduan still smiled and declined: "There are really some things, so don't bother."

Li Xiang'an had no choice but to answer: "Okay, then where are you going, I'll take you there directly."

Yin Chengduan did not refuse, and reported the name of the community. After hearing this, Li Xiang'an was surprised and said, "You live in the same community as us."

Yin Chengduan nodded: "I just moved here a while ago."

Li Xiang'an sighed twice that he had never met him before, and said he would come to visit in a few days, but Mr. Yin smiled and did not refuse.

After arriving home, Yin Ying curiously asked Mr. Yin: "Grandpa, what will happen to you?"

Unexpectedly, Yin Cheng entered the room with a smile and took out the fishing line: "Go fishing, Yin Ying, you can come too."

Yin Ying was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say that you will be busy later?"

Yin Chengduan waved the thread in his hand lightly: "Isn't this just a matter?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Yin Ying: "It's good to see the distant mountains, and you don't have to go to their house to bother you anymore."

Only then did Yin Ying fully understand Yin Chengduan's meaning, so she turned and went back to her room to get her own fishing rod: "Grandpa, wait for me!"

Yin Chengduan smiled and nodded: "No hurry, no hurry."

the other side.

After Li Xu returned home, he handed the photo album that Elder Yin had just given him to his father.

After Li Xiang'an took it, he turned it over, and said in his mouth: "Earlier when you were young, Mr. Yin also came to the meeting several times. Speaking of which, you have actually met him before, but you probably don't remember it."

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I really don't remember..."

But at this time, Li Xu suddenly remembered the inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart when he ran into Mr. Yin in the community.

He couldn't help but stop talking.

At this time, Li Xiang'an flipped through the pages, and suddenly said to Li Xu: "This is the child who accompanied Mr. Yin just now, it looks like it."

Hearing this, Li Xu couldn't help looking up at the page of photos that Li Xiangan turned to, and found that it was a photo of his grandfather Li Yuanshan and a little boy. In the photo, the little boy with big and bright eyes and a smiling face was Yin Ying. .

"At that time, Mr. Yin also brought this child here once. Let me think about it. You didn't seem to be there that time. You went to grandma's house with your mother."

After listening to Li Xiang'an's words, Li Xu stared at the young Yin Ying in the photo, and felt that Yin Ying's chubby cheeks in the photo were cute and tight.

But looking at it, a sense of familiarity suddenly came to my heart.

In my memory, a vague figure from my childhood suddenly became clear.

Li Xu was shocked.

Why does it feel like I have met Yin Ying since I was a child?

But according to Li Xiang'an, they should have never seen each other when they were two children.

Li Xu was stunned for a while, and suddenly a series of fragments that had been dusty for a long time appeared in his mind.

He suddenly remembered that when he went to piano class when he was a child, the only boy in the class who was willing to talk to him was very crying.Later, he left City A with his parents. He didn't have time to say goodbye to the little boy, and he didn't leave any contact. He thought that he would never meet again.

At this time, Li Xu glanced at Yin Ying's childhood photos on the album again, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart:

That boy turned out to be Yin Ying!

The author has something to say: Yin Ying: It's too late!I am leaving!
