In the silent place

Chapter 27 The Wind

This sleep was very long and seemed very short. When Bai Yutang woke up again, he found that he had been covered with clothes at some point, he was stunned for two seconds, and then turned around suddenly.Under the lifted quilt, Dian Rebao was lying on the bed alone. "Cat?" Pulling off his clothes, he stood up abruptly and ran out of the bedroom.

"I'm in the bathroom." Zhan Zhao's voice came from the bathroom, Bai Yutang hurried over and asked through the door, "Cat, are you okay?"

There was the sound of rushing water and the sound of washing hands, and after a while the doorknob was turned, and Zhan Zhao walked out muttering while leaning on the wall. "People have three urgencies, I can't help it, let's solve it."

Seeing him a little embarrassed, Bai Yutang didn't find it funny.Going forward, put his arm on his shoulder and asked, "Did you have diarrhea again?"

"No." Zhan Zhao said, looking around. "Your place seems to be bigger than my aunt's house."

"Almost, two bedrooms, one study room, maybe the living room is brighter than theirs. I'll show you later, and now you just stay here honestly."

"Then go to the hall."

"You're really difficult to serve." Bai Yutang shook his head, complained, but still helped him to the living room.

Throwing himself into the soft and comfortable sofa, Zhan Zhao involuntarily let out a sigh. "what time is it?"

Turning his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, Bai Yutang was startled to realize that he had slept for nearly an hour just now. "It's almost 05:30."

Zhan Zhao's left brain twitched and he stood up.

"what happened?"

"I want to call home."

"Wait a minute." Bai Yutang said, pushed open the door and walked out under Zhan Zhao's puzzled eyes.After a while, he ran back, picked up the address book on the small coffee table and rummaged through it, then grabbed the phone and dialed the number of the property management of the community.

It was a man who answered the phone, his tone was very impatient, Bai Yutang was already angry, and now he was even more furious, and he really vented his dissatisfaction on the phone.After hanging up the phone, he still felt angry, and sat down beside Zhan Zhao with a sullen face.

"Mao'er, the elevator is not working yet. The property management said it will fix it as soon as possible, but they are not sure when it will be fixed."

After thinking for a while, Zhan Zhao touched Bai Yutang's knee with his leg, pointed to the phone and said, "If you don't mind, I'll make a call first."

Bai Yutang straightened his body, picked up the wireless phone and handed it to him.Zhan Zhao took it and thought about it, then dialed the number at home.

"Hey?"

"Auntie, it's me."

"Xiao Zhao, when will you come back? Your dad just said he would call you."

"I'm still at Bai Yutang's house." Pressing his forehead, Zhan Zhao turned his back. "Please let my dad answer the phone."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll call him over."

Liu Rong's voice came calling.After a while of noise, Huaiyi asked angrily, "I just went out for a while, where are you crazy?"

His father's questioning tone made Zhan Zhao feel a little nervous. "Sorry, Dad, I just fell asleep."

"Where are you?"

"Here in Bai Yutang." Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "The elevator is broken."

"Which floor does he live on?" Zhan Huaiyi's voice softened a little.

"The twelfth floor."

"Are there any discomforts?"

"No, it's fine."

There was silence on the phone for a while. "Don't be in a hurry to come back at night."

"Dad..." Zhan Zhao felt guilty, but more moved.A word of thank you was stuck in my throat, and I hesitated for a while, but I was too ashamed to say it. "I..."

"Okay, stop the ink." Father interrupted him. "Come back to me tomorrow, do you hear me?"

"Yes, I see." Zhan Zhao replied honestly.

"Take care of yourself!" Immediately afterwards, the other side hung up the phone with a "click".

Zhan Zhao took a look at the phone, thought about his father's temper, and smiled helplessly.

"What are you smirking about?" Bai Yutang asked.

Turning around, Zhan Zhao handed the phone to Bai Yutang, then leaned back on the sofa, rubbed his stomach and said, "I want to stay with you for one night, will you take care of the food?"

Bai Yutang was overjoyed, smiled and punched him on the shoulder. "You foodie."

Zhan Zhao also laughed, and rarely spoke back.

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Huaiyi paced back and forth in front of the large window in the hall, the light in the room flickered with his movement.Jiang Yewan was annoyed by his shaking, he sighed and put down the newspaper. "Huaiyi, sit down and rest for a while."

"No, I have to go and see him." Zhan Huaiyi looked up at Jiang Dong's room and shouted, "Xiaodong, Xiaodong?"

Jiang Dong ran out of the room upon hearing the sound. "Uncle, I'm here."

"Where does Bai Yutang live?" Zhan Huaiyi asked.

Scratching his head, Jiang Dong couldn't understand why his uncle suddenly asked this. "What happened?"

"I have to go and have a look."

"This..." Jiang Dong was a little embarrassed. "Xiao Zhao will be back in a while, don't worry."

"I told him that he doesn't have to come back tonight." Jiang Dong opened his mouth wide when he heard this, not knowing why.Zhan Huaiyi quickly explained: "He said the elevator over there is broken."

"Don't worry, I..." The phone rang in the bedroom, Jiang Dong turned his neck to look, and then turned his head to comfort his uncle. "I'll go over to answer the phone first." He said to his father. "Dad, you can chat with uncle for a while."

Running into the bedroom, Jiang Dong hurriedly grabbed the mobile phone on the bed, but unexpectedly just picked it up, and the other party hung up conveniently.Just as he was about to check the calling number, the phone rang again, and he quickly pressed the connect button. "Hello? Hello, I'm Jiang Dong."

"cousin..."

Jiang Dong hurriedly interrupted his cousin's words. "If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here. Your father is clamoring to go to see you at Young Master Bai's place."

"Don't let my dad come, please, cousin, don't let my dad come. I'll go back tomorrow." Zhan Zhao's impatient voice came from the microphone, which was not very real, as if he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Don't worry, look at mine." Jiang Dong said confidently.

"Cousin, thank you so much."

"I'll hang up first, I'll get it done later, and I'll give you a message."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Dong hurried back to the living room.Father and uncle were sitting on the three-person sofa opposite the TV, Jiang Dong walked over and settled down on the single sofa next to them.

"Uncle, if you're worried, I'll go and you don't run away."

"Yes, Huaiyi, let Xiaodong go, he and Bai Shaoshu." After Jiang Yewan finished speaking, he stood up and did not give Zhan Huaiyi a chance to refuse, and turned to his wife who was busy having dinner in the kitchen Shouted: "Dong damn it."

When Liu Rong heard the shout, she turned around and looked at her wife through the glass window.

"Xiao Zhao won't come back at night, I'll put some food and porridge in an insulated lunch box later, and ask Xiao Dong to bring them there."

When Zhan Huaiyi saw this posture, he couldn't refuse anymore.He ran to his son's room, packed some medicine in a small wooden box, walked out and handed it to Jiang Dong. "Bring this to him, too."

"Okay." Jiang Dong replied, took the wooden box, found a bag and packed it.

Putting the phone on the bedside table, Zhan Zhao came out of the bedroom.In the open kitchen, Bai Yutang was busy preparing dinner.Zhan Zhao watched quietly for a while, then walked to the French window on the other side and looked out.At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the night view of the city is charming. Looking up at the stars, overlooking the dim lights.At this time, the two were silent, and a clear and pure female voice came out from the speaker, accompanied by a simple and elegant melody, which was refreshing.At the end of the song, when the music is played again, it is a piece of piano music blown by the wind, euphemistic and sad, it seems to be recalling, and it seems to be telling the past...

If you see my invisible scars

You should understand that I am not only competitive

Evil and Righteous Who am I to be

True and false, false and true

It's a pity to say that no matter how persevering I am

if there is no proof

Half joy, half sorrow, love is a double-edged sword

right and wrong let them discuss

Fate left fingerprints without any wind

love you but can't ask

Don't leak the wind, loving me is crueler than being hostile

Brilliant but near dusk

If you see my invisible scars

You should understand the way I look at you

......

A low-pitched male voice, singing clear and shallow, flows slowly in the dusk, like a song like a complaint.Zhan Zhao leaned against the window, starlight sprinkled all over his body, no expression could be seen on his face buried in the shadows, his clear eyes shone like waves in a deep mountain pool on a moonlit night.Bai Yutang stood not far away and stared at Zhan Zhao, the figure standing in front of the window was as motionless as a sculpture, exuding the coldness and loneliness of being independent from the world, as if it was about to merge into the vast night, and a gleam surged in his heart. sad.

A mobile phone rang in the bedroom, but Zhan Zhao didn't seem to hear it. Bai Yutang looked at him and called out, "Cat? Your phone is ringing." Seeing that Zhan Zhao still didn't move, he couldn't help but shouted again : "Cat?"

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao seemed taken aback, and turned around abruptly.

"Your phone is ringing." Bai Yutang said while pointing to the door of the bedroom.

"Oh." Zhan Zhao responded and at the same time, hurriedly took a step, his left leg gave way, he staggered a few steps and almost fell down.Bai Yutang looked all over, but held back and said nothing.Zhan Zhao stood for a while holding his left leg, and then slowly approached the bedroom.

The other party had already hung up the phone, Zhan Zhao picked up the phone to check, there was one missed call, the number was Jiang Dong's.He pressed the callback button nervously, worrying whether someone could stop his father, who had always said nothing.

As soon as the phone was connected, he asked eagerly, "Cousin, where is my dad..."

"Don't worry, your dad is at home. I'm on the way, and I'll be at your place later." Jiang Dong was afraid that Zhan Zhao would be in a hurry, so he directly interrupted him. "Stop cooking, you two, I brought you something to eat. Your dad also packed some medicine for you in a wooden medicine box, and asked a piece to be delivered to you."

"Cousin, I really trouble you."

"Okay, I'll hang up first, we'll talk later when we meet.

"Okay, be careful on the road." After hanging up the phone, a big stone in Zhan Zhao's heart finally fell to the ground.When he came to the living room, he put his arms on the marble countertop around the kitchen, sat down on the high chair by the counter, and said to Bai Yutang's back, "Don't do too much, when Jiang Dong comes, he will We brought food."

Bai Yutang turned his head and said, "Why, your family is still afraid that I will starve you? It's only for one night. As for mobilizing people like this?"

"My aunt happened to cook my favorite dish, so my cousin brought it over. By the way, let you try it too."

"Your aunt almost protected you with both hands. I don't think she treats your cousin like she treats you." Finding a plastic bag from the cupboard, Bai Yutang put the washed vegetables on the chopping board into it. Put it back in the refrigerator again.Then he washed his handles and went down the small kitchen steps. "Then I'll be lazy and stop cooking."

The two walked to the living room, and Bai Yutang pointed to the DVD rack on the wall. "See if anyone is interested."

"You rented this place, right?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously while flipping through the disc.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Bai Yutang turned off the stereo, sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

"The decoration is great, it meets your requirements."

"That's right, I also think it's good, so I decided after I first saw it." Bai Yutang looked around for a while. "My fourth brother's design is not bad."

"Well, the workmanship is quite meticulous." Zhan Zhao walked over and sat down on the sofa, and handed the disc in his hand to Bai Yutang.

"Hi-sheep-sheep-and-gray-too-wolf?" Bai Yutang's eyes widened, and he jumped out word by word.His half-wall of DVDs includes domestic and foreign classic blockbusters, and he never expected Zhan Zhao to pick such a movie. "Mao'er, do you like to watch children's cartoons? Saying this with a serious face, he approached Zhan Zhao and looked him up and down." Didn't grow up? "

Zhan Zhao punched Bai Yutang on the shoulder, and the other party let out an exaggerated yell, and fell to the side of the sofa, laughing uncontrollably. "Why do you still buy it when you grow up?"

"Cat, tell me you don't hit me again." Bai Yutang smiled and sat up. "That's for my nephew Yunrui." After speaking, he leaned over and laughed loudly.

Zhan Zhao was out of words. In fact, he didn't know what Pleasant Goat was talking about, but he just looked at the cover very easily, so he subconsciously chose this.Picking up the DVD that fell on the sofa, he stood up and said with a little embarrassment, "Then I'll change it."

Bai Yutang grabbed him tightly. "No, that's all." He stood up and put the disc into the player. Bai Yutang watched TV and then Zhan Zhao.

The two chatted and joked while watching the DVD. When Jiang Dong arrived, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

As soon as Jiang Dong entered the door, he directly handed the handbag containing the rice to Bai Yutang, hunchbacked, panting disregarding his image.

"You two are indeed cousins, one is better than the other..." Suddenly feeling a familiar cold light coming from beside him, Bai Yutang hastily coughed twice and stopped. "Let's eat, let's eat." He said and walked to the kitchen with the lunch box.

"I'm not afraid that you guys are going to be in a hurry. The third floor ran up when the first floor came up." Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned to Zhan Zhao: "The elevator broke down when you came?"

"Cousin, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat first, I'm starving." Zhan Zhao said, clutching his stomach.

Interrupted by him, Jiang Dong momentarily forgot what he wanted to say.He had been running and 'climbing' just now, and when Zhan Zhao said that, he immediately felt his chest sticking to his back. "I'm hungry from what you said, okay, let's eat first." He said and handed a bag in his hand to Zhan Zhao. "This is the medicine your father gave you."

Zhan Zhao took the bag and opened it to have a look.This medicine box was bought for him by his father before he returned to China, just for the convenience of carrying it when he travels.He wiped the surface of the wooden box lightly, remembering that when he was seriously ill, his father stayed by his bedside and accompanied him day and night. Although his father seldom said anything, his sad, bloodshot eyes held hands with those two. The big callused hands of the gun all conveyed a kind of expectation to him. It was the love of his father and family that gave him strength, cheered him up, and made him strong.

"Hey, what are you two dawdling about?" Bai Yutang took out the folding dining table and waved at the two of them. "Come here and do me a favor."

"Here we come." Jiang Dong said and ran over, Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them, smiled slightly and followed.
