1novels Chapter 113
Chapter 113
Early in the morning of the next day, Mo Li and Jiang Keke went to the city to learn about the details of the overseas project.
Knowing that Zhuma might be very busy today, Tang Na held back a "Happy Birthday" and felt that sending a message was too casual and dialing a voice was too abrupt.
It's better to wait for Mo Li to come back, and then talk face to face!he thinks.
And about the response to the confession, you can also tell Mo Li at that time.
Having nothing to do, Tang Na wandered to Mo's house.
Morley's room had privileges for him, and Donner was the only VIP who could enter the room without his permission.
After entering the room, Tang Na sat by the bamboo horse's bed and waited obediently.
He stared at the wall boredly, vaguely having the illusion that he was like a repair dog waiting for his master to come home, or...
The little boyfriend waiting for his lover to come home from get off work.
As soon as such thoughts flashed into Tang Na's mind, he was ruthlessly expelled from his mind.
He blushed and hid in the corner of the room pretending to be a mushroom, drawing circles in the corner.
Why did you just think about commuting to and from get off work when you just got the hang of it?Donald thought.
At least four years after college, right?What's more, they are not together yet!
However, when I just figured it out, I thought about it to the extent that I was ashamed...
Does Mo Li, who has been secretly in love with him for a long time, have more frequent fantasies?Tang Na suddenly realized.
When those fantasies are determined to be impossible to realize in the bottom of my heart...
How sad will Morley be?
On this day, Tang Na's thoughts and thoughts were all about Mo Li.
What emerged in his memories were all Mo Li's childhood, childhood, and youth.
The Moli that Tang Na is familiar with, after changing the perspective, completely changed their appearance.
The details that were originally happy in his understanding may be bitter from Mo Li's perspective.
Mo Li, who was able to hang out with him innocently when he was still in Tuanzi, suddenly awakened a special relationship after entering high school...
At that time, Mo Li was alone, would he be very confused and scared?
Every time he collided on the court, he fed him in the cafeteria, he got close to him unsuspectingly after taking a shower at home...
Will it make Mo Li more flustered every time, so that he blames himself and belittles himself?
Thinking of this, Tang Na's heart skipped a beat.
He began to feel guilty that he had opened up too late, so that the bamboo horse had been injured for so long.
I feel so distressed just thinking about it, but Mo Li himself, who has actually experienced a war...
How on earth could it be possible to stay by his side tenaciously?
"Mo Li..." Tang Na collapsed on the bed, staring at the blank wall, his eyes full of forbearing expressions.
He felt a little cold, hugged his body, and said in a daze: "I miss you..."
It's been less than a day, and I've started thinking about you.
What should I do after you go abroad?
……
Mo Li came back earlier than Tang Na expected.
When Donna, who was bored and sleepy, opened his eyes after dozing off for a while, he just saw Mo Li open the door of the room and walk in from the outside.
When Tang Na saw the bamboo horse for the first time, he was pleasantly surprised.
Because the other party was wearing a suit and leather shoes at this time, which was very stunning.
This was the first time he saw Mo Li wearing a black formal suit——
A young man with tall legs, wide shoulders and narrow waist, once he put on a slim and expensive suit, he brought a sense of majestic restraint, exuding an inviolable aura.
This made Donner instantly recall his reverie about "lover getting off work".
Unexpectedly, the picture in the fantasy was actually realized in reality!
Because it was so beautiful, Tang Na blushed and looked at the bamboo horse for a few more times before returning to his senses and saying hello to the other party:
"Mo Li, you, you're back? I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
Unexpectedly, Mo Li didn't reply him.
The other party was just leaning against the edge of the door, his expression was as cold as ice, his eyelids were drooping, and the corners of his mouth were drooping, as if he was extremely tired.
"Mo Li?" Seeing the unusual expression on the bamboo horse, Tang Na sensed something was wrong, and immediately got up and went to help...
But he watched helplessly as his hand passed through the bamboo horse's body and turned into a phantom.
Tang Na froze, staring at his hands, the lines on them were still clear and real.
But when he turned his hand and tried to touch the edge of the door, his hand broke through without hindrance.
I……
Can't touch anything? !
Tang Na's heart beat faster, and he immediately looked back at everything around him.
This time, he noticed something unusual——
Although the furnishings in Zhuma's room haven't changed much...
But everything is covered in a layer of dust, which should be the result of no one living in it for a long time.
At this time, Mo Li, although still looking handsome...
But when Tang Na observed carefully, he discovered that the opponent's shoulders were slightly wider than the bamboo horse in his current memory, his chest was slightly wider, and his stature was slightly taller. Even his facial features had changed slightly, and he was a little more mature in comparison.
It looked like what Mo Li should look like in a year or two.
Tang Na was very puzzled: Mo Li is only in his third year of high school, and what happened in a year or two hasn't happened yet...
But in an instant, his pupils trembled, and he realized: No.Already happened.
Although Tang Na didn't have a physical body, at this moment, because of the guessing in his mind, he experienced the reality of losing body temperature.
One year after the third year of high school, Mo Li happened to be a freshman abroad.Although Donna has never seen it before, such Mo Li really existed——
Before rebirth, in the world after his death.
So the Mo Li in front of me...
Was he the one who failed to be reborn, Mo Li in the original world line? !
Leaning against the edge of the door for a long time, Mo Li sighed and regained control of his body.
The man was swaying around, there was no smell of alcohol on his body, but he seemed very drunk.
He stumbled into the room that had been dusty for a year, and opened the first drawer of the bedside table.
It is the most convenient bed person, a storage place to review documents before going to bed.
Tang Na saw the other party take out a photo album from it, then sat down on the edge of the bed, leaning against the cabinet decadently, flipping through the photo album.
The first page of the photo album.
Donald in kindergarten.
The second page of the album.
Donald in elementary school...
The angles of these photos when I was young are very positive, obviously official angles.
These photos are all vivid in Tang Na's mind. The circumstances under which he was taken in the life before his rebirth are vivid in his memory.
However, the perspective of the second half of the album made Tang Na feel strange.
Those scenes were familiar to Donald, but the angle seemed to be taken secretly. He was sure that he had never seen these photos before.
In the first picture, the teenager Donald is jumping on the court and is about to throw the ball far into the basket, which is perfectly frozen.
The angle of view of this shot seems to be in the auditorium.It took a long time for Tang Na to recall that at that time, Mo Li was unwilling to exercise with him, and would occasionally sit on the sidelines and watch the battle quietly.
Beside the bed, when Mo Li turned to this photo, the brows trembled unnaturally.
He took a long breath, and his chest heaved deeply, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
His fingers slid across the top of the boy's head in the photo, where there was a piece of sunshine that just blended with the boy's smile.
In the second photo, the teenager Donald was eating with his head bowed in the cafeteria, his cheeks were bulging, because he didn't raise his eyes, he didn't notice the camera directly opposite him.
At this moment, Tang Na recalled that Mo Li refused his feeding at that time, and he was upset, so he ate angrily and ignored people.
Beside the bed, Mo Li's fingertips brushed along the edge of the photo, trembling so much that he could hardly turn the pages.
His eyes were flushed, his masseter muscles were trembling, and his nostrils fluttered in shortness of breath.
In the third photo, young Donald was sitting on Mo Li's bed, with wet hair and a loose T-shirt, as if he had just taken a shower and was playing with his mobile phone.
Tang Na recalled that at that time, he borrowed Mo Li's bathroom and put on Mo Li's clothes, but he was ignored when he talked to Mo Li, so he could only sit on the bed and play with his mobile phone.
Little did they know that such a scene was also secretly photographed.
And this photo finally hurt Mo Li's sight.
He closed the album unbearably, got up and walked out of the room with it.
Tang Na chased after him and saw Mo Li enter the kitchen.
Snapped--
chap——
The lighter lit the edge of the photo album, and Morley threw it into the sink of the countertop.
The young man in a black suit had an indifferent expression, and his eyes reflected the scorched and curled flames of the photo.
Those photos are well preserved, obviously the owner once cherished them very much.
But at this moment, the master abandoned them mercilessly, without any mercy.
But Tang Na saw that Mo Li, who had no expression on his face, was digging at the edge of the cooking table with his fingers, and his pale knuckles almost broke the skin.
The owner of the photo is enduring a grief beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Soon, the photo album was burnt into a black ball, and no images could be discerned at all.
Only then did Mo Li reach out, turn on the faucet, and extinguish the sparks.
After washing his face, smoothing his hair back to his forehead, and tidying up his tie, Mo Li regained his composure.
As if nothing happened, he turned around naturally and walked out of the house.
Tang Na followed him all the way and finally arrived at the destination——
Outside the farewell hall of a funeral home.
funeral parlor.
farewell hall.
After witnessing the whole process, Tang Na suddenly understood...
Here is what happened after his death, everything he didn't know.
In the farewell hall, relatives, friends and old classmates in Downer's town gathered, as well as his university advisor and some classmates.
There are white flower baskets on both sides of the hall, and an enlarged and correct ID photo in the middle.
Because it is not for posthumous photos, the corners of the mouths of the young people on it are filled with vigor and hope.
Donna, who was not noticed in the form of a lonely soul, saw his elderly grandmother.She knelt in front of the photo, hunched over.
When the guests who come to condolences talk to her, she will raise her head with a blank face, waiting for the other party to introduce herself.
She can't remember many things clearly, and the only thing she remembers at the moment is her grandson.
But the only grandson she remembers is dead.
Every time someone asks, she has to repeat it heart and soul: "Nana is gone."
"Nana is gone."
"Nana is gone."
Nana is gone.
Nana is gone.
Donna wept silently, wanting to hug his mother-in-law.
But his hand can only pass through her thin and old body, there is no way to touch her, no way to be sensed by her.
In this life, she will spend the rest of her life alone.
In the boundless loneliness, in the confusion of forgetting everything.
"Isn't this Mo Li?" Tang Na followed the sound and turned his head, seeing a boy put his arms around Mo Li's shoulders and greeted him affectionately.
Tang Na remembered that this person was his classmate in junior high school, a very smooth person, and his relationship with him was only average.
Therefore, the male classmate didn't look sad, instead he used this place as a social place, revisiting old friendships everywhere.
Facing the calm-faced Mo Li, the male classmate said enthusiastically, "I heard that you went abroad after high school? Did you come back specially to attend Tang Na's funeral?"
Mo Li raised his shoulders calmly, shook off the male classmate's arm, and said indifferently, "Yes."
Being treated coldly, the male student didn't care. He just glanced at the photo of the deceased and said, "Oh! It's a pity that Tang Na is so young and works so hard, and he lives so hard, just for a better future. Now, even There is no future."
"..."
"When she died, she was in a different place, and the body couldn't be transported back. You see, such an old grandma couldn't travel long distances to other cities, and she didn't even see her last remains. It is said that when she heard the news of her death, What you receive is already Tang Na's ashes."
"..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this! How is Mr. Mo doing recently? Living abroad is quite good, right? Are the foreign girls very enthusiastic and unrestrained? How many people have you talked to outside?"
"..."
"Hey! Don't be like this!" The male classmate laughed awkwardly, "I'm just curious about what type of person would fall into the hands of Mr. Mo, a cool and handsome guy who has zero scandals in junior high school and high school? If you don't like those foreign girls , I have also met a lot of girls recently..."
"...There is someone I like." Mo Li said suddenly.
The male classmate thought he heard it wrong, "What?"
Mo Li repeated, "I have someone I like."
"Hey! Who is it! Do I know him?" The male student's heart of gossip was aroused.
"I've known him for 13 years, and this is the fourth year I've had a crush on him." Mo Li narrated calmly, without any emotion.
"We've known each other for so long?" The male student had a pleasant expression on his face. When he followed Mo Li's line of sight to the middle of the farewell hall, he realized something and changed his expression.
Mo Li finished speaking calmly: "The person I like is dead."
The male student finally understood, glanced at Mo Li with a strange expression, and then glanced at the big photo in the farewell hall.
Not daring to say anything more, the man laughed a few times in embarrassment, and then left in despair.
"Until he died, he didn't know that I liked him."
Facing the air, Mo Li uttered his final monologue, which no one will hear——
"It's just that I'm not brave enough."
The farewell ceremony is over.
The guests were separated.
Morley walked up the street alone.
There were people coming and going on the street, couples laughing and laughing in pairs, and passed him intimately holding each other's hands.
Every time a pair of smiling faces passed by, Mo Li's body swayed a little more.
This tall and healthy looking young man in a suit had a gloomy face as if he had been seriously ill for ten years.
He walked unsteadily until he bumped into the shoulder of a thin-looking girl, and he knelt on the ground on the spot.
"Sir! Sorry! I didn't notice!"
The girl handing out the leaflets apologized in a panic, and reached out to help the man on the ground.
But the tall and burly man in the suit trembled violently as if his bones had been broken, his upper body bowed so that his forehead almost touched the ground.
The girl was terrified, so she squatted down and asked him, "Sir! Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
Her hand touched the man's arm, and she felt that there was clearly a strong body under the suit.
But a person as thin as myself is fine, how could this man hurt like this after scratching?
"Sir! Sir—"
The man couldn't hear her voice, he stared at the ground with his eyes wide open like a demon, and covered his waist and abdomen with his arms, sweating profusely from the pain.
His breathing trembled and almost broke, and it sounded like sobbing, but the girl didn't see a single tear from the corner of his eyes.
I heard that some people are so sad that they will not shed tears.
At this moment, the girl read from the side face of this stranger who had never met before, and read the grief and regret that almost broke his body.
If I had been braver then...
If, if...
……
Donna opened his eyes.
His eyes were hazy, and tears blurred all his vision.
He sat up, feeling that his nose was so blocked that he could hardly breathe, and his eye sockets were so sore that he could hardly blink.
Recovering from the pain of losing his soul, he wiped away his tears and saw that Mo Li's room was clean and dust-free, not the unoccupied state he saw just now.
Tang Na panicked and rolled off the bed, climbed to the bedside table, and opened the first drawer...
Found the photo album lying intact inside.
Not burned.
Morley did not go abroad.
He is not dead.
It was all a dream.
It's okay, it's okay, it's all fake.
He has been reborn, and none of that happened...
Holding the album in his arms, Donna burst into tears because of the false dream.
Everything was clearly in time, but he was so sad that he couldn't control himself.
Some of the photos in the album are different from what I saw in my dream.
After all, after his rebirth in this life, many things have changed, and the interaction with Mo Li has naturally changed as well.
Some of the photos in this album are not in the dream.
And some of the photos in the dream have not yet appeared in this album.
Different.
This life will definitely be different.
There will be no such ending again!
Not anymore!
Nana is back.
Nana is back!
After crying, Tang Na couldn't help but dialed Mo Li's cell phone.
The other party quickly picked up, and the gentle and patient voice made Tang Na feel unprecedentedly stable.
——"Donald? What's the matter?"
"You," as soon as Tang Na uttered, he could only lower his voice when he heard his muffled crying, "When are you coming back?"
— "Ah, there was a little accident here. I may not be able to go back anytime soon."
"..."
Tang Na didn't respond, and the other side carefully probed:
— "Will you mind if I can't go back today for my birthday?"
would mind.
Super mind.
Morley, I just had a nightmare.
I'm so scared right now, I miss you so much.
But Donner didn't say that.
He just forced back his tears and said sensiblely, "I don't mind."
do not mind.
These three words were abducted by crying, and the voice was twisted.
——"Donald, are you crying?" The other side keenly noticed.
"No."
—— "You wait for me. I'll go back now."
"I didn't cry. You don't have to come back! I..."
beep - beep -
Call disconnected.
Donner put down the phone and found that it had been turned off because it was out of battery.
……
Jiang Keke's mother's car broke down halfway, and the three of them pushed the car on foot for a long distance before finding a signal to call for help.
The three of them were exhausted, and they planned to find a nearby place to rest overnight after the car was repaired, and then go back the next day.
At this moment, Mo Li received a call from Donna.
He knew the other party best, and it was impossible not to hear the other party's cry.
After saying hello to Jiang Keke's mother and daughter, Mo Li directly hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take him across the city quickly back to the town for three times the price.
The driver was awesome and delivered him in an hour.
It was already evening at that time, and Mo Li rushed back to his house in a panic, but couldn't find Tang Na, and rushed into Tang's house again, but still found nothing.
He anxiously called Tang Na, but he heard the phone ringing from the room on the second floor in the yard.
The phone is charging, but the person is gone.
Mo Li didn't know what happened to Donna and cried, so anxious that he was about to jump.
"Xiaohua?" At this moment, grandma came out of the kitchen, saw the unkempt Mo Li, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"
"Mother-in-law!" Mo Li asked in a panic as if he had grasped at straws, "Where did Donna go?"
"He came back just now, hugged me and cried for a long time. After I finished coaxing him, he answered the phone and went out. I don't know where he went."
"He cried with you too?" Mo Li was even more disturbed, "Whose call did he answer?"
"Teacher Ding is calling."
"Okay. Thank you, mother-in-law!"
Mo Li didn't care about etiquette, so he hurriedly thanked and left, and dialed Ding Xia directly outside the door.
After learning about Tang Na's whereabouts from Ding Xia, Mo Li's hanging heart finally fell back to his chest.
actually went there...
Fortunately, it is safe.fortunately.
……
Suburban park.
The batch of trees planted by the kindergarteners 12 years ago are still lush now.
When Mo Li arrived at the scene, it was getting dark.
Still in the hazy sunset, he caught a glimpse of the boy standing under the tree with his head up.
Always been this way.
No matter where he is, whether there is a crowd or not, he can always see him at a glance.
Seeing that Tang Na was fine, Mo Li should have felt at ease.
But at this time, he inexplicably felt a kind of fear of being close to home.
As he approached step by step, the boy under the tree also saw him and turned around.
The corners of the other party's eyes were red, and it looked like he had cried, but now he was facing him, but he still smiled brightly.
"Molly!" Donna pointed to the two trees he was observing, "You see, because you moved the tree pit, our tree was the closest among all the trees."
Mo Li raised his head following the other's fingers, and found that the crooked sapling had grown extraordinarily strong because of the timely correction.
However, the two trees that moved closer to each other after moving the tree pit had their trunks straight up, but the treetops were attracted and entangled, making it difficult to distinguish each other.
Like a twin tree.
It is a high-arched bridge.
Mo Li withdrew his gaze and walked across from Donna.
It was only then that Tang Na noticed that he was in a mess, and asked worriedly, "How did you do this?"
"I still have to ask you!" Mo Li had a straight face, seemingly fierce, "Why are you crying? And, where is the phone? Do you know how anxious I am not to find you?"
"The phone is out of battery, and it's charging..." Tang Na lowered his head and explained obediently, "I was in a panic at first, but it happened that Teacher Ding called and talked about the tree. I thought it might calm me down, so I came here... ..."
Mo Li: "..."
Tang Na clutched the corner of his clothes, "Happy birthday, Mo Li. You are an adult, don't be angry with me..."
Facing this man's obedient and aggrieved appearance, Mo Li will never do anything.He sighed helplessly, touched the top of Tang Na's head, and asked patiently, "What happened?"
Tang Na did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Why do you want to go abroad?"
"..." Mo Li was silent for a moment, and then said, "Because, I want to."
"Why do you want to?" Tang Na's voice weakened, "If you are going abroad for a better future, I accept you to go abroad, and I can wait. But if you go abroad to hide from me, I don't want it."
"Wait? Don't?" Mo Li grasped the key words, his heart beat faster, "What do you mean?"
"you answer me first!"
"To hide from you. I'm sorry." Mo Li told the truth, "For me, it's better to develop in China. But..."
Hearing what he said, Tang Na remembered something, sobbed in panic, and said aggrievedly: "How could you do this! Don't you have to be brave? Don't you have to be more brave?"
"I……"
"It's all your fault! You insisted on pushing me away so calmly, don't force me to say anything, and let me see the truth clearly. I couldn't see clearly at all, and I couldn't see clearly when you pushed me away!" Tang Na fell Bean-like, crying and complaining.
"Donald..." Mo Li tried to comfort him in a panic, but was robbed of the words again.
"I always wanted to be with you! I hope you force me, this is also the proof that I want to be with you! But you insisted on me thinking, and when I thought about it, I lost my mind! It's all your fault... "
It was obviously a reproach, but listening to what Tang Na said, Mo Li felt his heart was so sweet that it almost melted.
Great joy surged from the bottom of his heart, he no longer cared about restraint, and directly hugged Tang Na into his arms.
He hugged the boy in his arms tightly with all his strength.
It seems to pass on the love of the two worlds through this hug.
The other party sobbed in his arms, "How dirty are you...the scene of the confession, you actually made yourself like this..."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Mo Li repeatedly apologized for everything.
He kissed the hair of the boy in his arms, and said softly, "I'm not calm, not at all. You don't know how many times I have tried to threaten you, to force you to be with me. I want you forever, Don Na. I hide from you. I want to go abroad because I can't control myself. I still have reason and can control myself not to hurt you. I will leave you eventually..."
"Don't leave me, Mo Li." The boy in his arms trembled and embraced him with his backhand.
Under the shadow of the intertwined trees, he heard the most beautiful voice in the world, and uttered the sweetest words in the world——
"I like you, Molly. I always liked you."
"Thank you for liking me. This is the best adult gift I can think of."
