Chapter 29: consciousness
Wang Changlin, Shen Xi recited this name silently in her heart, he did not expect that he would be the one who gave his mother flowers.
Shen Xi still remembered the scene when he took over his grandfather's relic from Wang Changlin five years ago. In the past five years, Shen Xi has not had any contact with Wang Changlin, because of the disobedience that Wang Changlin brought him at first, he has always been a little wary of him in his heart.
However, the events in front of him obviously greatly exceeded his expectations. Shen Xi's eyes fell on the white lily of the orchid flower held by Wang Changlin, and an absurd idea emerged in his heart.
After the initial stunned, Wang Changlin quickly reacted, noticing Shen Xi's gaze, Wang Changlin smiled kindly at him, bent down and put the bouquet in his hand in front of the tomb. His movements were very careful, and with many emotions that Shen Xi could not understand, he carefully placed the bouquet, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in Wang Changlin's eyes.
Shen Xi has been watching his movements silently, and at this time she can't help but say, "How does lawyer Wang know...?"
"Do you know that San Shao's mother loves Lily of the Orchid?" Wang Changlin interrupted Shen Xi's words.
Shen Xi did not speak again, apparently tacitly agreeing to this meaning.
Wang Changlin laughed, "It's all about the past, and the third master doesn't need to know."
Shen Xi frowned invisibly, Wang Changlin had already changed the subject, "Why did San Shao suddenly come to the cemetery at this time?"
Shen Xi did not hide, "I paid the cemetery administrator to help me keep an eye on who was delivering flowers to my mother. He just called me when I came."
Wang Changlin obviously did not expect Shen Xi to be so direct, he was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly, "San Shao's temper really hasn't changed at all."
Shen Xi didn't say anything, just stared at Wang Changlin with obvious intention.
Wang Changlin couldn't help but smile bitterly again under Shen Xi's direct gaze. In the end, Wang Changlin still did not resist Shen Xi's insistence and told a story from many years ago.
The story is actually very simple. The poor student fell in love with the rich lady. Because of her inferiority, she didn't dare to express herself but secretly stayed aside. When he finally summoned the courage, she was already married. . He was hit hard and tried hard to get ahead. After decades of hard work, he realized when he was old that what he really wanted was to be by her side. It's a pity that the beautiful woman passed away many years ago, and the only thing he can do is to bring her favorite lily of the valley to accompany her occasionally.
Wang Changlin's words were full of melancholy and unspeakable regrets, and Shen Xi fell silent. Although he vaguely had this guess before, but hearing the party confirm this, there is still an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Noticing Shen Xi's silence, Wang Changlin smiled awkwardly, patted Shen Xi's shoulder and turned away.
Shen Xi had no idea about Wang Changlin's crush on his mother, he just felt a little sudden. He always thought that he was the only one in the world who still remembered his mother, but now suddenly another person told him that he also remembered her all the time. Shen Xi felt that she couldn't describe her current mood. After thinking about it, Shen Xi called Fang Luowei, and he desperately wanted to talk to someone. Fang Luowei was still at work at this time, and the two made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the alley where they first met at seven o'clock in the evening. The house Fang Luowei rented was around that alley.
It was only six o'clock when Shen Xi arrived at the appointed place. After waiting for a while, Shen Xi parked the car at the intersection and wandered around the neighborhood casually.
This alley is the place where Li Mingxuan planned to bring him to eat Sichuan cuisine last time. Although the two of them were not happy last time, Shen Xi still remembered the one that Li Mingxuan mentioned. Very good Sichuan restaurant. Thinking that Fang Luowei was as hot as he was, Shen Xi immediately decided to take Fang Luowei there at night.
Shen Xi was fascinated by her thoughts, but suddenly someone bumped him from behind. Shen Xi reacted immediately, and immediately turned around and grabbed the person who came.
Shen Xi's eyes fell on his hand and said coldly, "Take it out."
The visitor glanced at Shen Xi and slowly took his hand out of Shen Xi's pocket. Shen Xi was about to let go of the hand he was holding, but unexpectedly, a man suddenly rushed out from the corner on the left and hit him fiercely.
Shen Xi was hit and staggered.
The two slapped Shen Xi in the face, and the little gangster suddenly exclaimed, "It's him, he took Fang Luowei away last time, hurry up and tell the boss ."
"Boss!" A sharp shout came from behind Shen Xi, only then did Shen Xi realize that there was another person hiding in the corner behind him.
The sound of "boss" seemed to be a switch, and the quiet alley suddenly became cluttered. The chaotic footsteps sounded around, Shen Xi frowned, seeing that it was too late to run, she quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed Fang Luowei.
It's the same gangster from before, "He wants to inform Fang Luowei, hurry up and stop him."
Someone rushed over, and the call hadn't been connected yet, so Shen Xi had to give up the call and avoid the punch of the person who came.
More and more people rushed over, Shen Xi hurriedly stuffed her phone and fought with them. Shen Xi's skills are good, but she can't stand the crowd. I don't know who took out the iron rod first, but Shen Xi couldn't dodge and was really hit a few times.
It hit Shen Xi.
"Be careful!" Someone rushed over and firmly protected Shen Xi under him.
Shen Xi heard the familiar voice and hesitated for a moment. She looked up subconsciously, and what caught her eye was Li Mingxuan's slightly distorted face.
Shen Xi didn't have time to ask why Li Mingxuan appeared here suddenly, she pushed away Li Mingxuan and kicked the person behind him fiercely.
Maybe she was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Li Mingxuan, and the movements of the surrounding gangsters stopped for a moment.
Li Mingxuan didn't expect Shen Xi to move so fast, seeing that Shen Xi wanted to continue, he immediately pulled him behind him, and said to the gangsters around him with a cold face, "I I want to see your brother."
The word "Brother Wang" was heard in the ears of the gangsters around, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they all guessed Li Mingxuan's identity.
One of the gangsters gave Li Mingxuan a suspicious look, "Who are you?"
Li Mingxuan did not speak with a cold face, turned to look at Shen Xi behind him, Shen Xi looked really miserable at this time, his face was covered with bruises and there was a faint trace of blood at the corners of his mouth, and his clothes were even worse Being torn to pieces, Li Mingxuan's eyes couldn't help but darken. Shen Xi lowered her voice, "Why are you here?"
Li Mingxuan simply said, "Eat."
Shen Xi thought of the Sichuan restaurant and nodded clearly.
Li Mingxuan actually didn't expect that he would meet Shen Xi here, because the alley was narrow, he always parked his car outside and walked in. When he saw people gathered here from a distance, Li Mingxuan didn't think why. There has been a saying in Zhongjing since ancient times that "the south is poor and the north is cheap, and the east is rich and the west is expensive". This alley is located in the southern city of Zhongjing. It has always been a mixed bag, very chaotic, and fighting is common.
Li Mingxuan originally wanted to take a detour, but accidentally saw Shen Xi in the crowd, and ran over here without thinking. When the iron rod was about to hit Shen Xi's head, Li Mingxuan instinctively rushed over and protected Shen Xi under him. Seeing the surprised look on Shen Xi's face when he raised his head to look at him, Li Mingxuan's mind only flashed the words "perishable".
Thinking only for a moment, the surrounding gangsters suddenly moved and made way.
A man in his thirties walked in with a face full of flesh. Obviously someone had already told him what happened. Stunned, "Xuan Shao."
The man's face immediately changed to a smile, "Ah, it's been a long time since I haven't seen Xuan Shao, what's the matter?" The last sentence was asking the people around him.
The little gangsters around looked at the man and were afraid to speak. The man glared at them a few times, and when he turned to look at Li Mingxuan, his face was full of smiles again, "Misunderstanding, Absolutely a misunderstanding."
Li Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, "Then this misunderstanding is a bit big."
The smile on the man's face stagnated, he turned and pulled out the iron rod from the hand of the gangster closest to him, and smashed it down. After a while, the little **** was already covered in blood, but even so, the little **** gritted his teeth and did not dare to snort. The man withdrew his hand in satisfaction and turned to Li Mingxuan, "Master Xuan, how is it?"
Li Mingxuan frowned, Shen Xi behind him glanced at the man and pulled Li Mingxuan, "Let's go."
The man squinted and looked at Shen Xi, smiled at Li Mingxuan, and waved the little gangsters around him to make way.
It wasn't until he left this alley that Li Mingxuan noticed the burning pain in his back. He couldn't care about his own injury. Li Mingxuan grabbed Shen Xi and said, "Are you alright?"
The concern in this sentence is obvious, Shen Xi nodded hesitantly.
What else did Li Mingxuan want to say, Shen Xi suddenly thought of Fang Luowei, and she hurriedly took out the phone without talking to Li Mingxuan.
The matter was made clear in a few words, Shen Xi told Fang Luowei not to go home now.
Li Mingxuan listened to Shen Xi's repeated explanations, only to feel that the pain in his back seemed to be more severe.
