Well of Mystery

Chapter 213 Never Say Goodbye

After Su Zi flirted with Zhang Han, she helped Xiaolong meet his eyes again.

"Everything is fine in the apartment, but it's a bit dangerous to take you back now. Xiaobai is not ready to see you yet, so you have to stay here obediently for a while, and we will all take turns to visit you. Wait When you grow up, you will make up for all the things you have forgotten, okay?"

After that day, all kinds of strange people came to visit the orphanage every now and then. Without exception, they all came to see "Xiaolong". Early childhood teacher.

Strange to say, the orphanage also seems to have benefited from Xiaolong's favor.Not only did donations pour in like snowflakes, but all children who needed surgery were successful, and those who needed reconstruction all recovered quickly.In just one year, the number of children who were adopted and returned to their families was the sum of last year and the year before.

Even the plants in the garden are thriving, with everlasting spring.

But not without bad things—when Xiaolong was three years and five months old, a volunteer stole the amber from his silver chain.

The next morning, the volunteer was rescued by someone in a pool not far away. He was basically frightened, and kept muttering to himself that he saw a dragon.

When he was three years old, Jiang Chenglu dreamed of his past life for the first time.

Although it was just a hazy impression, there was a figure of a person who re-entered his heart from this day on.

After that, not only Zhang Han and Su Zi, but also Huayin Huayang, Shang Douxing, Le Yaochun, An Shande, Feitouman, Wei Xiangtu and Tao Chuan, and even Xiaohong and Li Kun were all there. In the dead of night, he floated over to chat with Jiang Chenglu.

Jiang Chenglu liked each of them.But I always feel that they are not the ones I want to see the most.

At the age of six, Jiang Chenglu entered the best elementary school in the city.The head teacher greeted him at the school gate, and the principal wiped his tears to thank Jiang Daxian for his life-saving grace.

Jiang Chenglu was extremely talented. He graduated from elementary school in six years and graduated in four years. After that, he played checkers in junior high school and high school, which made many people envy and hate him.

When I was 13 years old.Jiang Chenglu was confessed by a school girl who was three years older than him.Five seconds later, he flatly rejected the other party.The reason is "I already have someone I like".

The school girl didn't give up, and instead asked Jiang Chenglu the name of his sweetheart.

Jiang Chenglu thought for a while, then frowned again.Finally said two words.

"……noob."

At the age of 14, Jiang Chenglu entered the nearest university youth class in this city.In the library of this university, Jiang Chenglu saw something that haunted him for the first time.

It is a work in the contemporary art album.

At first glance, it is difficult to tell what the painting is about.There are only colorful and dotted halos.Scattered on a dark background.

But Jiang Chenglu became excited for no reason.

Three days later, Jiang Chenglu bought the artist's album.Flipping through it almost greedily.Then I continued to search for all the news about this painter on the Internet.

Bai Xiuqi, a low-key romantic painter, is an extremely low-key and mysterious figure, because of all the movements and introductions about him.It all came to an abrupt end 14 years ago.

Some people on the Internet said that he had already died in an accident, while others said that he had faded out of the art world and immigrated overseas...

No, none of this is true.

Jiang Chenglu stroked the photo on the computer screen more than ten years ago.

Bai Xiuqi.Xiaobai, you are the person who appears repeatedly in my dreams.

On my 15th birthday.Jiang Chenglu got a picture album from Su Zi.He followed Su Zi's instructions and put the album under the pillow.

For more than ten days after that, every morning when he got up, a page of the album would become blank, and the missing painting became a memory and returned to his mind.

When the album became a pile of blank paper, Jiang Chenglu was very eager to find Su Zi.

"I want to see Xiaobai! Why hasn't he come to see me?!"

"Of course he's watching you, he's been there all the time. There are many things he asked us to bring to you."

Su Zi smiled and looked at Jiang Chenglu who had suddenly risen this year and was about to surpass him in a blink of an eye: "It's just that he doesn't know how to face it... well, young you."

"I'm no longer—"

Just as Jiang Chenglu was about to protest, he turned his head and saw the figure reflected in the French window.

Well, it is indeed a little shorter and thinner than before.But these are not problems, as you grow older, everything will soon be resolved.

"Is there any medicine that can make you look ten years old overnight? I want to take it quickly. I can't wait!"

Su Zi still smiled and shook her head: "Give yourself some time, and give him some more time. Take advantage of this best time for human beings, enjoy life to the fullest, and then go back to Xuanjing Apartment and Bai Xiuqi's side Come."

Jiang Chenglu was speechless: "Is this what Xiaobai meant?"

"This is the meaning of Bai Xiuqi, me, Zhang Han, and everyone in Xuanjing's apartment who was once a human being."

On his 16th birthday, Jiang Chenglu received a small square box carved from anti-soul wood.When it was opened, some light spots like fireflies flowed out, and instantly merged into his body.

"This is Xiaobai's gift to you."

Su Zi said: "These originally belonged to your power. He is afraid that he will give it back to you all at once. You can't bear it, so take it slowly."

17-year-old Jiang Chenglu finished his undergraduate studies, refused the opportunity to continue his studies, and left the city.

In the following time, he began to wander endlessly, seeing all the beautiful scenery praised by people in the world, and getting acquainted with all kinds of passers-by during the journey.

But no matter where he goes, he will receive a small square box on time on his birthday, containing the birthday gift from Bai Xiuqi.

The box on the 20th birthday contained not only "fireflies", but also a soft whisper.

"Happy birthday."

Jiang Chenglu opened the pot and carefully put the wooden box inside.Then he decisively picked up his luggage.

Water and land toss and turn, wind and rain.Five days later, he returned to the city where he was born in this life.

The memories that were once sealed have now been completely revealed.He stood in the wilderness again.In front of the dark and gloomy, but full of vitality old building.

The heavy iron gate was completely open towards him, like a pair of arms welcoming his return.

Behind the iron gate is still a dark passage full of sundries and dust, and the courtyard at the end of the passage is gloomy and lush.

Is that the medicinal material planted by Wei Xiangtu, or the fragrance from Su Zi's platycodon flower?

Every time he took a step forward, Jiang Chenglu's heart beat faster until he was standing in a spacious and bright courtyard.Looking up at the familiar floors replaced with unfamiliar aluminum alloy doors and windows.

Although the sun has not set yet.But at this moment, all the soul fires above and below the Xuanjing apartment lit up, like fireworks in the daytime.Like a silent firework, it welcomes the return of the past and future eternal guardians of this apartment.

Jiang Chenglu wiped his eyes even if the man had tears and didn't flick them lightly.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly ran towards Dongdong.He ran up to the second floor and ran a few steps forward.Suddenly froze.

The dusty corridor was full of debris, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

Jiang Chenglu couldn't believe it, and hurried to the door of the love nest with Bai Xiuqi in the past, and looked inside through the glass.

Sofa, tables and chairs.The desk lamp and bookshelf, everything was covered by white plastic sheeting, leaving only vague outlines.

what on earth is it.Where did Bai Xiuqi go? !

Jiang Chenglu was astonished, and dispelled several ominous thoughts in one breath.Suddenly, I heard a lazy voice behind me.

"You're back."

Hua Yang was still elusive, leaning on the porch pillar with a smile and looking at him: "You really work hard, and you don't even know how to cherish it when you have a big vacation."

Jiang Chenglu was so nervous that he couldn't understand his teasing, so he hurriedly asked about Bai Xiuqi's whereabouts.Fortunately, Huayang's answer made him breathe a little bit——

"Don't worry, Xiaobai is fine now. It's just that this place is full of memories about you. It's really impossible to live alone. But you should know that he is..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chenglu had rolled over and jumped to the ground, and ran away quickly.

More than 20 years later, Fuxi Mountain still keeps a close distance from human beings amidst the clouds and fog.

Running up the bumpy steps, crossing the low walls built up by believers with incense candles year after year, and bypassing the spiritual bone towers of Taoist priests who guard the mountain... Jiang Chenglu came to the top of the mountain in one breath based on his memory, but what he saw was the same A completely different landscape 20 years ago.

The dilapidated Taoist temple in the past has been repaired and has become elegant and tidy again.The milk vetch bushes and incense bubble trees in the yard are still the same as they were back then.

Jiang Chenglu unknowingly lightened his steps and walked behind the lush pomegranate tree in the yard.

The former tomb has now become two, and both have been carefully tended to.Jiang Chenglu was looking down at the matching names of the tomb owner when suddenly he was hugged tightly from behind by a man.

The familiar breath, the familiar touch, everything is back.

At this moment, Jiang Chenglu had mixed feelings in his heart.But he still suppressed the excitement in his heart, and deliberately teased: "How is my body recovering? Are you satisfied?"

The person behind did not answer, but the sound of sobbing could be heard vaguely.

Jiang Chenglu suppressed the surge of emotion in his chest, and lightly pressed Bai Xiuqi's folded hands.

"Xiaobai, don't cry. You let me walk outside more often to change my mood. I went to many places, saw a lot of scenery, and a lot of people."

"……How about it?"

The long-lost voice came from behind Jiang Chenglu, and it was exactly the same as the one in memory.

The man could no longer restrain the sudden beating of his heart.He turned around quickly and imprisoned Bai Xiuqi between his body and the wall with his backhand.

"But no matter where I go, what kind of people and what kind of scenery I see, the only thing I really want in my heart is you."

Bai Xiuqi also stared at him, raised his hand and slowly held the face that he had seen countless times in dreams over the decades.

Jiang Chenglu couldn't bear it anymore, he quickly lowered his head, and kissed his long-awaited lips forcefully.

"I'm back, let's go home. I bought flowers, the vase on the tea table at home must have been empty for a long time..."

"It's all empty."

Bai Xiuqi hugged his hands and tightened a little bit: "My heart is also empty, just for you alone, forever and ever."
