Chapter 34
The main characters are almost all together, and the small horticultural farm is in full swing all day long. Such days, at first Shen Xinrui feel really terrible, but gradually, she also began to learn to accept, and even like up. Is it not good, she loves people in, love her people are also in, they all love people more in, the happiest thing in the world is not more than this.
Happiness two words, for Shen Xinrui, so far away, so far away. But now, she is away from it, closer and closer, close to reach out and touch. Once, she was young and ignorant, over and over again to reach out to grab it, the result is more than once fell harder. The tears of disappointment gathered more and more, filling up into a sea of despair, if she tried again, she would surely fall in, with no possibility of survival.
For three years, Shen Xinrui had been carefully standing on the narrow reef, no longer wishing for the happiness hanging above. Therefore, although the days were sad, they were not as bad as that wedding, where the whole world was destroyed and collapsed. But now she once again raised her head to look up above, because Lai Yuanhang had returned, and his appearance had undoubtedly ignited the spark of happiness, causing it to radiate a seductive glow.
During this month of spending time together, Lai Yuanhang was like a good husband and father, good to her and good to the babies. They went to watch the sunrise, picked fruits, caught fish in the pond, and lay on the lawn at night counting stars. He did everything he could, everything a husband and father could do, tenderly, lovingly, holding them in his heart, loving them, pampering them! After three years, the heart that was once full of holes by him, the holes were plugged one by one, and the wounds healed little by little.
Shen Xinrui felt that she could really pick happiness this time, because her hand was firmly grasping it, just short of making up her mind to ignore the deep sea under her feet, and forcefully break it off. However, just as she was about to break it off, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, directly blowing her down into the deep sea. Losing her breath, losing her heartbeat, only her last tears remained.
Han Yilin did come to the gardening ground against the gale, at that time, Shen Xinrui was acting out the story of Little Red Riding Hood with Lai Yuanhang for the two little buns, she was Little Red Riding Hood, he was the Big Bad Wolf. They were having fun, Lai Yuanhang pretended to eat Shen Xinrui, and the two little buns acted as valiant hunters and pounced on him to save Shen Xinrui, but they ended up being gathered into his arms with his wide-open hands together.
“Ow! The big bad wolf ate the hunter along with him!”
“Heh heh heh, uncle is so powerful, XuanXuan likes uncle so much.”
“Windy likes it too!”
“Oooooooh! Mommy, Daddy doesn’t want us anymore! Daddy doesn’t want me anymore, oooooooo……”
As the crowd giggled, the girl’s cries rang out abruptly, followed by Han Yilin’s awkwardly persuasive voice.
The daughter of Li Yuanhang’s account book, Li Xiaobei, she was bawling her eyes out, tears and snot smeared all over her face.
“Bei Bei, don’t cry don’t cry, daddy …… how could daddy not want you.” Han Yilin frowned, wiping away the tears on Bei Bei’s face while comforting her, and then looked at Shen Xinrui in embarrassment, saying, “Ms. Shen, I’m sorry to have disturbed you. It’s, it’s Bei Bei who wants, wants her father, so ……”
Shen Xinrui froze, then quickly broke away from Lai Yuanhang, and also pulled Shen Haoxuan and Shen Linfeng away together.
“It’s okay.” She said, her voice low, her gaze falling to her feet, not looking at anyone.
Faced with the sudden appearance of Han Yilin and Lai Xiaobei, Shen Haoxuan and Shen Linfeng were a bit scared, timidly hiding in Shen Xinrui’s arms, their eyes darting around, sizing up the mother-daughter duo.
Lai Yuanhang was lost in thought and stood there, one minute he was holding his beloved who was connected to his blood, but this time he was empty.
“Daddy!” Li Xiaobei cried out, Han Yilin put her on the ground, she immediately flew towards Li Yuanhang and finally hugged his thighs.
The final result didn’t even need to be guessed, as long as Han Yilin was involved, Lai Yuanhang would always choose her. He hugged their daughter, kissed her swollen eyes from crying, and softly comforted her. Han Yilin slowly walked over and came to his side, whispering with her head lowered, still glancing at Shen Xinrui and the others from time to time, with clear uneasiness in her eyes.
Shen Xinrui averted her eyes, pretending not to see the scene in front of her, only holding up Shen Haoxuan and Shen Linfeng, intending to bring them back to Mu Yunsheng’s side not far away, but they froze with their eyes open, looking at Lai Yuanhang, their eyes were full of loss.
“Mom, is uncle leaving?” Shen Haoxuan sniffled, tilted his head and asked Shen Xinrui in a small voice, “Mom, I can’t bear to see uncle go.”
Shen Xinrui was silent, her whitened lips biting dead center, her body trembling slightly.
“Mom, Feng Feng likes uncle?” Shen Linfeng looked somewhat enviously at the girl being held by Li Yuanhang.
Listening to her sons’ tender voices, Shen Xinrui’s heart was like a knife, and her eyes ached with sourness. She shook and raised her eyes to look at Li Yuanhang, but her eyes were pierced by the happy smile of that family of three. At the side of her heart, those wounds that had only healed with great difficulty cracked open again, a bloody piece, each piece was a trembling pain. She buzzed her lips, wanting to open her mouth to say something, the words came to her lips but turned into a silent sob.
Seeing that teardrops were about to overflow from her eyes, Shen Xinrui had to raise her hand to wipe them away, and the next second she fell into a familiar embrace. Mu Yunsheng’s voice sounded from above his head, carrying the same reassuring calmness as always.
“Xinrui, don’t cry.”
The dim light of the setting sun shrouded the earth
, Shen Xinrui buried herself in Mu Yunsheng’s embrace and let her tears flow out in a torrent, she was not afraid and did not need to disguise herself, because his thin shoulders supported her world.
As usual, Shen Xinrui organized and sealed the joys and sorrows that occurred in the horticultural field and stuffed them into the lattice of her memory, as long as she didn’t touch and open them, the pain would gradually numb. After so many years, she has learned to pretend that nothing has happened, and then continue to live as if nothing has happened.
On this day, Shen Xinrui was pruning the overgrown pomegranate tree in the backyard when Sikong Ye suddenly scurried over and stood to the side playing with Shen Haoxuan’s toy gun.
“Sister Shen, where is Brother Yunsheng?” Sikong Ye casually opened his mouth and asked.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xinrui stopped her movements, looked at the watch on her wrist, and replied, “Well, it’s already past four o’clock, he must have gone to pick up Xuanxuan and Fengfeng. Why, do you have something to look for him?”
“Not really!” Sikong Ye shrugged her shoulders, then looked at Shen Xinrui and said with a smile, “Sister Shen, why don’t you go on a honeymoon with Brother Yunsheng when you get married?”
Shen Xinrui’s movements gave a beat, “I was rather busy, moreover, Yunsheng doesn’t like crowded places, so I didn’t go.”
“Oh oh~” Sikong Ye nodded, she gazed at Shen Xinrui, a meaningful smile in her eyes. She winked, “Sister Shen, let me tell you a secret.”
“Hmm you say.” Shen Xinrui hmmmed, the movements in her hand didn’t stop, busy cutting away the excess branches.
Seeing her so unconcerned, Sikong Ye seemed to get angry, ran over and yanked down her arm, grunting again, “Sister Shen, don’t get busy, listen to me first! What I’m going to tell you is a big secret, and it’s still related to Brother Yunsheng!”
“What?” Shen Xinrui looked at Sikong Ye doubtfully, but she really didn’t pay attention to the pomegranate tree anymore, but was obediently pulled to one side by her to sit on the steps.
After sitting down, Sikong Ye took out a photo from behind her back and smiled mysteriously, then slowly handed it to Shen Xinrui’s hand.
“Hehe, what is this? Could it be a photo of Yunsheng’s bare butt when he was a child?” Shen Xinrui laughed lightly and froze when she turned over the photo.
In the thin photo, the background was a flourishing flowering trillium, and in front of the bright red flowers stood two young girls in white dresses. In fact, such a photo is quite ordinary, it looks like it was taken casually, if you have to name one unusual thing, that is, the two young girls both have the same face. Long hair draped over her shoulders, thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, under the small nose was pink lips that were wearing a shallow smile.
At first glance, Shen Xinrui thought that Sikong Ye had used PS technology to P herself into two, and it wasn’t until she explained that she realized it wasn’t.
“This ……” Sikong
Ye pointed to the young girl with a more serious expression in the photo, “is my sister.”
“You have a twin sister?” Shen Xinrui opened her mouth in surprise, really hadn’t thought that Sikong Ye was actually a twin and had a twin sister.
Sikong Ye took Shen Xinrui’s expression all in her eyes and continued with a smile, “Yes, I have a twin sister, her name is Sikong Jin.” Speaking at this point, she paused, her voice steeply lowered, “My sister, and Brother Yunsheng, is a childhood friend, they are still lovers.”
Sikong Ye’s words just fell, Shen Xinrui had already lost her voice and exclaimed, “What? You said that your sister and Yunsheng are lovers?”
“What’s wrong, Sister Shen are you jealous?” Sikong Ye raised his eyebrows.
“Uh, of course not.” Shen Xinrui flew into a denial, “I just can’t imagine that Yunsheng, who is so …… bland, would go and like anyone.”
“Yeah, when I first found out, I was just as incredulous as you. Because Brother Yunsheng seems to have no seven emotions and six desires, apart from eating and gawking, there’s nothing that can catch his attention, and everyone was super shocked by the fact that he became lovers with his sister!” Sikong Ye skimmed his lips and laughed.
Shen Xinrui agreed with Sikong Ye’s words, and couldn’t help but smile and agree, “You’re right about everything, Yunsheng looks like a little old man, not like a young man at all.” At the end, as if she remembered something, she added: “Hey, Xiao Ye ah, what about your sister, why doesn’t she come to Yunsheng?”
“This ah ……” Sikong Ye stretched her voice, she twisted her body to sit straight and said, “Then Sister Shen listen to me tell a story well.”
“Good ah.” Shen Xinrui agreed.
Sikong Ye’s story was not too long and not too short, the story began in a white water-like narration and ended in a thrilling way.
Sikong Jin, Sikong Ye’s older sister, six years ago she was 14 years old, in her flowery years.
Most girls at Sikong Jin’s age live a life full of vigor and freshness, shopping with their girlfriends, buying pretty clothes, talking about popular idols and whatnot. But Sikong Jin was different, at this time, she had already become a female bodyguard with extraordinary skills, and the person she had to protect was Mu Yunsheng.
Indeed, as Sikong Ye said, Sikong Jin and Mu Yunsheng were childhood friends, the two had stayed together since their infancy, and she was destined to protect him to the end of her life.
Sikong Jin had been specially trained from the day she could crawl, whether it was something she could take or something she couldn’t, as long as she didn’t die, she had to complete all the trials and tribulations. And, from the time she could remember, the people who trained her had instilled in her one thought – Mu Yunsheng was the one she had to protect. She lived for him, everything she had belonged to him, and when he was threatened, she had to protect him even if she was broken to pieces.
Perhaps Sikong Jin’s life was sad, everything existed for Mu Yunsheng, but the latter’s life was no better than hers, the growth she went through, he went through it all together.
It was that kind of monstrous and perverted upbringing environment and process, and so, it led to the two people’s identical personalities. Cold-blooded, withdrawn, in addition to the family’s instructions to complete the task, all other things are not interested in, even if it is the biological parents face kill, may not be out to save. Perhaps it is because of this same character that they have developed the emotion known as “love”, or at least, outsiders think that they like each other, and will show expressions to both sides that ordinary people do not have.
To this twin sister, Sikong Ye actually has no feelings, she has never been in contact with her more than three times, the only two times, once was born together, once was to attend her funeral.
Six years ago, on a rainy day, an inside thief betrayed Mu Yunsheng’s whereabouts to the government state.
The Mu Clan has a loud and incomparable reputation in the Golden Triangle and Country Z. As the successor, Mu Yunsheng’s whereabouts were exposed, and one can only imagine what the consequences would be.Country Y and Country Z are neighboring countries, and when they received the news, they immediately dispatched their Special Forces and Armed Police to make the arrest.
Engagement, fierce engagement.
In the end, only Mu Yunsheng and the seriously injured Sikong Jin were left struggling against each other, as a large wave of heavily armed soldiers slowly approached, surrounding them, making it difficult for them to fly.
A person of Mu Yunsheng’s character would not be easily captured even if he died, not to mention that he had a reason why he could not be captured, even if he was a corpse, he could not be obtained by the state.
He made a decision, a decision that Sikong Jin could easily guess.
It was better to be broken for the sake of jade than to be broken for the sake of tile, yes, it was indeed Mu Yunsheng’s style.
He shot towards the engine ……
Then ……
There was no then.
When the news of Sikong Jin’s death reached the Sikong family, Sikong Ye was carrying her bag to go on a spring trip with her friends, and her brother Sikong Jun was talking about business. After hearing the news, the two of them did what they should do, without a single fluctuation of expression at all, as if the one who died was not their closest relative, but an insignificant stranger.
Of course, Sikong Ye would not be foolish enough to tell Shen Xinrui the true story in its original form. She only said that Mu Yunsheng was hunted down and killed, and that Sikong Jin, as his bodyguard, died for him and was blown to pieces by a bomb. Mu Yunsheng, on the other hand, was the one who had been affected by the impact of the bomb, and had fallen off the cliff injuring his head and losing his memory.
After listening to Sikong Ye’s story, Shen Xinrui froze there, unable to digest the shock and impact of the story for a moment. Only after a long time did she come back to her senses, busy pulling over Sikong Ye’s hand and patting it gently.
In her mouth, she also whispered, “Xiao Ye, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to provoke your sadness.”
Sikong Ye shook her head indifferently, not seeing half a bit of sadness in her eyes, she slowly stood up, and the gun she held in her hand was aimed at Shen Xinrui’s head.
“That day, the person who was chasing Brother Yunsheng was aiming his gun at Sister like this. Then …… boom! My sister died~”
Sikong Ye laughed as she retrieved the gun and blew into the muzzle before sidling over to look at a small house in the distance and provocatively raised the toy gun in her hand.
Shen Xinrui was first dumbfounded by her actions, and only reacted after a few seconds, she thought that Sikong Ye was forcing a smile, and busily stood up to comfort her again. Just then, a black silhouette suddenly jumped in from outside the fence, rolling on the ground before rolling up to stand in front of the tree trunk.
“Who is it?” Shen Xinrui strangely voiced out.
The person standing in front of the tree trunk heard this and slowly raised his head, his face wrapped in a black trench coat was revealed, a man with a handsome face. He looked to be in his early thirties, with an upright stature, slender legs, and an unusually cold look on his face, the bangs in front of his forehead were scattered, his brown eyes exuded coldness, and his knife-sharpened thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
Sikong Ye happily jumped down the steps as soon as she saw the man, walked a few steps and then backtracked to drag Shen Xinrui down as well, then jumped to the front of the tree trunk.
“Sister Shen, this is my brother, Sikong Jun!”
