Abyss of ignorance

During the daytime, Xingtiandi is very quiet, even more vacant than other markets in Linzhou.

Lin Xiaodong was sitting in the coffee shop downstairs in Wan'an Community, and it was raining heavily outside.

After two months of scorching heat, Linzhou has finally entered the flood season. The weather is wet and the haze will never come out.

In fact, the climate of this city, which is advertised as a beautiful city in the south of the Yangtze River, has never been so pleasant.

Lin Xiaodong is here again because of Xu Hangjun.

In the dark, it seemed that she brought Lin Xiaodong one step closer to Lao Yang.

Lin Zhengyang named his Chinese medicine clinic Aijuntang, bought Hualing Art School for his retirement, and even re-trained a girl who was almost the same as her, gentle and charming and good at painting.

But now, this shadow of Xu Hangjun is haunting Lin Xiaodong, like reincarnation, like a curse, or... a strong response to a sick love.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaodong couldn't help but shiver.

He wanted to understand Xu Hangjun so that he could catch the shadow.

He couldn't open his mouth to ask Ye Mimi, let a person take the initiative to recall his deceased mother, such a cruel thing, he couldn't do it.

To get to know Xu Hangjun, talking to the person upstairs is perfect.

What's more, in the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to find an excuse to visit this friend who was both an enemy and a friend. Sometimes there is no reason for one person to care about another person.

At this moment, he was waiting, waiting for the black Les-Royce to leave the Wan'an community.

The coffee in his hand was half drunk, and the Rolls-Royce passed by the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the cafe. The window glass was black and the inside could not be seen.

But when the car passed by in front of him, he always had the feeling that he was looking at Ye Mimi.

The rain was pattering, and gradually stopped.Lin Xiaodong put the hood of the sweater on his head, without an umbrella, stepped on the wet ground, and walked towards Room 404 facing the street in Wan'an Community in a familiar way.

The door was ajar, Lin Xiaodong pushed it open, and there were two cups of hot black tea on the table.

Jiang Xu was sitting at the dining table with the air conditioner turned on and covered with a blanket, waiting for him to arrive.

Jiang Xu, who appeared in Lin Xiaodong's sight, seemed to be thinner than last time.Although, last time, Lin Xiaodong already felt that he couldn't be thinner.

He glanced at the half cup of coffee Lin Xiaodong held in his hand, and forced a weak smile on his face: "Have you been waiting downstairs for a long time?"

"It's okay, I'm waiting for Mr. Ye to go to work." Lin Xiaodong tried to make the conversation as easy as possible.

"You don't have to be so careful, the two of us, I'm sure I'm more relieved than you. It's interesting, when we first met, I hid so many things on my mind, and you are so open, but now you have changed your identity." Jiang Xu As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed a cup of black tea towards Lin Xiaodong, "Sit down."

When Jiang Xu said this, Lin Xiaodong really felt that the past six months, looking back, suddenly seemed like a dream. No, it should be said that the dream of his life in the past 30 years was completely broken in the past six months.

"Yesterday, Lin Zhengyang was in Hualing Nursing Home. He has been in Hualing Nursing Home all this time. I didn't even know it." Lin Xiaodong said angrily as soon as he sat down.

"He has always been in your life, hasn't he?" Jiang Xu's voice was too soft even when speaking, the voice came from a very shallow place, such as the sound of a stream that was about to dry up and the gurgling water, but there was a lot less echo .

Lin Xiaodong couldn't ignore these things, let go of what he was eager to know, and looked at Jiang Xu with concern: "You... If there is anything I can do, just say it."

Jiang Xu was noncommittal, but just smiled lightly and said, "What did you find in the Hualing Nursing Home? Is it related to Mimi and you can't ask her?"

"I really can't hide anything from you." Lin Xiaodong scratched his head, and his body size changed back to that of a chicken coop. A rough guy is a rough guy after all. "I found out that Lin Zhengyang may have something to do with Ye Mimi's mother Xu Hangjun ..." After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xu cautiously.

He knew that Jiang Xu and the Chen family were a family, and Xu Hangjun was also his mother in a sense. He didn't know how Jiang Xu would react when he said this.

"Lin Zhengyang loves her." Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu said it directly.

This surprised Lin Xiaodong: "When did you know?!"

"In Jiangnan Mansion, we told Li Xiudi, that woman, that she knew about it when she was soliciting customers for a Chinese medicine clinic called Aijuntang." Jiang Xu said.

Only then did Lin Xiaodong recall that at that time, it was also such a rainy day. He was in Jiangnan Mansion, soaked all over, and for the first time knew about the existence of Aijuntang from Li Xiudi.

However, his mind was full of searching for Qian Yingjie's death, and he didn't think of any relationship between Ai Juntang and Xu Hangjun.

"Does Ye Mimi know?" Lin Xiaodong hurriedly asked.

"I know, Mi Mi must know. Except..." He stopped talking, picked up the black tea with a smile, and took a sip.

"You don't drink whiskey anymore." Lin Xiaodong sighed, talking about Li Xiudi, he thought of the angry and arrogant Jiang Xu in the past, who was completely different from the person sitting in front of him at the moment.

"I think Lin Zhengyang is shaking." Jiang Xu said suddenly.

"Huh? Shaking what?"

"Because of Xu Hangjun, because of the appearance of Mimi, he may be reflecting on whether the path he has been insisting on all this time is right."

"You mean, Lin Zhengyang also knows that Ye Mimi is Xu Hangjun's daughter?"

"Is it possible that Lin Zhengyang doesn't know something that Gao Hanyu can recognize? The resemblance between Mi Mi and Chen Ma can only be appreciated by those who know both of them well. This is an irreplaceable similarity in appearance." Jiang Xu said, "Chen's mother left early, but her life was considered stable and happy. Thinking about it this way, at least she still had her family with her at the moment before she left..."

"Well, Ye Mimi has no relatives except you now." Lin Xiaodong said what Jiang Xu didn't say.

"Lin Xiaodong, the things you don't understand, because you have too little to lose and what you can't let go of. One day, when you fall in love with someone, you will know that your soul will be entangled with her throughout your life and cannot be let go. You will do things that you have never thought about, dare not think about, day and night you can’t let go of them, you can’t forget them, and experience the pain and happiness of not being able to be your complete self.” Once again, Jiang Xu, who is two years younger than Lin Xiaodong , to Lin Xiaodong, he looked more like an elder.

"I..." Lin Xiaodong muttered, not knowing how to answer. Just like Jiang Xu said, he couldn't imagine, "I can't understand. Do you know? That painter, I showed you, painted those weird things. The painter of the painting is very similar to Xu Hangjun, I guess she was trained by Lin Zhengyang, but I can't understand what this person is doing now..."
