Winter nine years ago
"The weather is really strange. Yesterday it was still sunny, but today it's snowing heavily to welcome me!"
Mo Hexuan had just walked down the last step when he saw Han Fei walking toward him in a fitting black woolen coat.
Han Xiong pushed his glasses up with his left hand and said with a polite smile,""Winter is here, and it's only a matter of time before it snows. After all, this is the West District, not the South. In the south, it was rare to see snow all year round.”
Mo Hexuan shivered." I forgot that Secretary Han is from the south. She must be happy to see the snow."”
Han Fei shivered when he saw Mo Hexuan. He reached out to unbutton the round black four-hole button on his collar." Hexuan, you must have caught a cold in there last night. You don't wear much. I'll take off my coat and give it to you."”
Mo Hexuan looked at himself. He was wearing beige casual pants and a knitted sweater. The brown leather jacket was slung back around his neck." No need. You're older than me. You should wear the clothes." Hahahaha." With that, she took off her brown leather jacket, put it on, and zipped it up. Han Fei smiled and didn't insist. He buttoned up his shirt and handed a pair of black leather gloves to Mo Hexuan. Mo Hexuan reached out and put them on.
The two of them walked towards the black Mercedes-Benz at the bottom of the stairs. Mo Hexuan looked back at the top of the stairs. There was a white wooden board hanging on the right side of the door. There was no decoration, and the words " Xicheng District Police Station " were written on it. He opened the car door and sat in the beige leather seat at the back.
Han Fei glanced at Mo Hexuan through the rearview mirror. He was resting with his eyes closed, deep in thought. He wanted to ask him if he wanted to eat something first, but seeing that he had already closed his eyes, he didn't say anything else. He used his hand to turn up the air conditioner in the car, turned on the fire, and left.
The two of them didn't speak on the way. Mo Hexuan slept while Han Xiong drove. Han Fei drove steadily. Although there were many people and cars on the road, he didn't make any bumps in the downtown area.
"He Xuan, we're here." Han Fei turned to Mo Hexuan.
Mo Hexuan opened his eyes and looked out of the car window. He yawned and opened the car door."Secretary Han, do you want to come in?"
Han Xiong smiled." No need, I still have things to do. Your father will be back soon. Don't be so childish. You should care about him more."”
Mo Hexuan looked at him and said,"Okay." Han Fei made a turn around the circular flower terrace and left.
Mo Hexuan went up the stairs and walked straight into the big house. Aunty Wang, who was watering the spider plants in the living room, turned around and smiled." Hexuan, you're back. Aiyo, why are you wearing so little on such a cold day? Hurry up and sit down. I'll turn up the heater. Aiyo, I'll go get your clothes. Your face is so cold and red. Poor child."”
As she walked towards the stairs, Mo Hexuan said to her,"It's not that cold. It's much warmer when I come in. Where's my father?”
Aunty Wang had already taken five steps." Your father went to a meeting yesterday and will probably be back tonight. I'll go get your clothes first."
"No need. I'll go back to my room to change. Make me something delicious. I'm hungry.”
Alright, I'll make you your favorite food." After saying that, she happily took the watering showerhead to the cabinet in the bathroom on the first floor. Before putting it in, she poured out the water inside and wiped the water stains on the outside of the showerhead with a towel. Then, she carefully washed her hands and went to the kitchen.
Mo Hexuan put his hands in his pockets and walked up the stairs to the second floor. His room was on the left side of the stairs, but he walked to the right. He first went to the guest room, then walked past his father's room without stopping. He stopped when he reached the study.
After hesitating for a moment, he pushed open the dark red carved wooden door and looked around. The curtains were drawn, and he turned on the light on his left. There was a silver laptop on the desk. On both sides were some thick books. The surrounding bookshelves were filled with books. Only the glass door in the middle of the bookshelf near the desk seemed a little empty. There was a photo in a horizontal frame inside.
He slowly walked in and opened the glass door with his hand to the left. He saw the family of three in the photo. At that time, his mother was wearing a light yellow round open-collared coat. Her hair was curled up, revealing a high and full forehead. Only a small strand of curly hair hung in front of her right ear.
At that time, she was still young and beautiful. She wore a light purple scarf around her neck and smiled. It was obvious that her mother was very happy at that time.
His father was wearing a black and gray tunic suit with a stand-up collar. He looked a little unnatural. His father never liked to wear formal clothes. His mother must have bought it for him, probably for this photo.
The father in the photo was middle-aged at this time. His hair was combed up, like the popular style of hair back. He held his mother with his left hand and had a reluctant smile on his face. It was really rare. In Mo Hexuan's memory, his father had only smiled a few times, especially after his mother passed away.
In the photo, Little Hexuan had big, bright black eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth. He was wearing a checkered gray suit and a small red tie. He was smiling happily, revealing one of his front teeth that had just fallen out. He looked really childish and interesting.
Mo Hexuan looked at the photo and smiled. As he smiled, he shed tears again. His mother had left him for 15 years. How could he not miss her? He looked at the photo in the window for a long time. Then, he reached out and took out the photo. He touched his mother's face in the photo, and then he began to smile like a child again.
He quietly and carefully looked at his mother's face in the photo for a long time. Finally, he put the photo frame back to its original position, turned around, walked to the door, turned off the light in the study, and walked towards his own bedroom. Without taking off his shoes, he threw himself onto his bed. The bed was deeply caved in where he had fallen. The mattress was very soft. Then he closed his eyes. The bed was made of white leather, and the bedsheet was covered in a gray Hong Kong-style quilt. After a while, she fell asleep.
He spent the second half of the night in the detention center. There was only an old white blanket there. It still smelled and was so cold that he shivered. He had only stayed for half a night. Because of the cold, he did not fall asleep. He had closed his eyes and endured the cold for a few hours.
Now, he had a strange dream. In the dream, it was a vast expanse of snow. There was a red dot swaying in the snow, as if it was getting closer and closer to him. He did not know how long the red dot in the snow had been swaying. He felt that it was a person, but it never walked into him.
Aunty Wang quickly finished cooking downstairs and went upstairs to call Mo Hexuan for dinner. She knocked on the door twice, but it was quiet inside. She pressed her ear against the door and listened carefully for any movement inside. She did not hear any sound. She concluded that Mo Hexuan was sleeping and shouted at the top of her voice, Hexuan, dinner's ready. Hurry up and get up to eat." Mo Hexuan replied.
He woke up when he heard Aunty Wang's shout. His head was tilted and his eyes were dull for a moment, as if he was recalling some dream he had just had, but he could not remember. He turned around and walked into the bathroom. He grabbed a glass of water from the sink, brushed his teeth, and rinsed his mouth. He washed his face with a cleansing cream and wiped it with a towel. He stared at himself in the mirror. He seemed to have grown a little stubble. Then, he shaved his beard with a Phillip razor.
The corners of his eyes were a little purple and swollen. He touched them with his right hand carelessly, but there was no pain. He turned around and left the bathroom. He walked to the wardrobe outside and pulled open the door. Without looking at the clothes in the wardrobe, he casually took out a turtleneck light blue sweater, a black woolen coat, and a pair of clear pants and began to dress himself.
He took off his shoes, leather jacket, and knitted sweater, leaving only a white singlet. Then, he glanced at the wardrobe. He seemed to be thinking about whether he should wear a long-sleeved shirt. In the end, he put on a blue sweater, a pair of denim pants, a pair of leather casual shoes, and a woolen coat. He looked into the mirror and tidied his slightly curly short hair before going downstairs.
As soon as she reached the stairs, she smelled the fragrance of rice and saw the dishes on the long table on the right side of the living room. Aunty Wang brought a bowl of rice over with a smile. She pulled a chair for him to sit down and placed the rice in front of him." Hurry up and eat while it's hot. It's all your favorite."”Mo Hexuan smiled and thanked him.
He picked up the rice and took a big mouthful. Before he could swallow it, he picked up a piece of spicy beef with his chopsticks and placed it on the plate beside him. He wolfed down his lunch. He was very satisfied with his lunch. After lunch, Aunty Wang came over to clear the table and pour the dishes. There were so many dishes, but not much was left.
Mo Hexuan was too bored to think after dinner. He had to do something so that his father wouldn't blame him when he came back. Once he got angry, his blood pressure would go up. He sat on the sofa in the living room and kept switching channels. After watching for less than five minutes, he turned off the TV in boredom.
When he reached the stairs, he saw the white snowflakes outside the window. He remembered the dream he had. He turned around and walked to the window. He opened the window and watched the snow for a while. As he read, he began to think. He had been idle for half a year since he graduated and had done nothing. Back then, she had gone to university because of her father. She had entered Y University and studied economics. She had skipped too many classes and obtained her graduation certificate through connections.
Now that he thought about it, he was useless. He had never done anything serious. In high school, he skipped class to go on trips in college and brought beautiful women to play. He had to do something.
While he was lost in his thoughts, the car he was in this morning drove over. Han Cui got out of the car, opened a black umbrella, and walked to the back seat to open the door for his father. His father got out of the car. His father was wearing a black coat and looked quite cool. He thought that this old man was quite fashionable.
Han Fei walked to the door with an umbrella for his father, bowed slightly and said to his father,""I'll go back first." His father didn't say anything and just nodded. Then, his father looked at him sternly. He walked out and entered with his father.
He eagerly took off his father's scarf and gloves and hung them on the clothes rack beside the door. Then, he put on a cheeky smile and looked at his father's sharp sword.
He followed behind his father and sat on the sofa. He was about 30 centimeters away from his father before his butt touched the sofa. His father said angrily,"If you cause trouble all day long, you'll be beaten to death sooner or later. Tell me, you're not young anymore. Can you be more careful? Can't you be more promising? You're already 21 years old. It's time for you to do something. Don't make me collect your corpse.”
Mo Hexuan had been looking down at the carpet and noticed that it looked like a button. When he heard that, he raised his head and said to Mo Tingjun,""Look at what you're saying. Don't be agitated. I just got into a fight with someone and spent a night in the detention center.”
Mo Tingjun continued,"You've never done anything that I'm satisfied with since you were young, let alone anything serious. I gave birth to you, and your mother is no longer around. I have the responsibility to teach you well, but what about you? Look at what you've done all these years.”After saying that, her face turned red and she started coughing.
Mo Hexuan placed his hand on Mo Tingjun's back and patted it gently. Then, he lifted the hot water that Aunty Wang had poured for Mo Tingjun to drink. Mo Tingjun was so angry that he flung the water away. The cup was thrown far away and shattered.
Mo Hexuan looked at Mo Tingjun helplessly and said,""Your health is more important. You can only teach me a lesson when your health is better. Don't go against your health.”As he spoke, he picked up the glass of water again and pushed it away forcefully.
Then, trembling, he said,"If you expect me to live another two years. Go find a job tomorrow. Don't be like a hooligan, idling around and doing nothing.”
Mo Hexuan nodded solemnly." Alright, I'll look for a job tomorrow. Are you satisfied now? Drink some water."”Mo Tingjun heaved a sigh of relief and drank the water he handed over. Then, he said a bunch of lecturing words. Mo Hexuan nodded repeatedly.
He finally managed to deal with the situation. The father and son chatted for a long time in the living room. Mo Hexuan also told him his plans for the future. He was going to do some business, although it was not a big business. However, it was not to the extent that he would be idle. His father did not say anything when he heard this. He said that it was good that he knew how to improve.
Mo Tingjun had never heard of his son having such an attitude today. He was more or less pleased. Usually, he was either fighting, chasing women, or fooling around with Ye Fuyu. Mo Tingjun thought that his son wasn't so useless and brainless. It was always good that he wanted to do something now.
He even said that if he needed money or help, he could ask. Mo Hexuan smiled in satisfaction. She even told Mo Tingjun a few jokes. Although Mo Tingjun was smiling on the surface, he was still happy in his heart.
As they chatted, it was time for dinner. The father and son finished their dinner calmly. Mo Tingjun returned to his study to work while Mo Hexuan went upstairs and entered the study next to the bedroom. His study was filled with bookshelves for two weeks. Even though it was filled with books, he could count the number of books he had read with ten fingers. He loved watching movies more, so he had installed a projector in the study.
He remembered that Ye Fuyu had told him that a French director named Jean-Luc Godard's movie was hard to understand, so he watched it with a curious attitude.
Mo Hexuan felt that the movie was about a French gangster who stole a car. He said that he never braked. The car was used to run, not to stop. He was very unfriendly when he evaluated ordinary women. When he praised the sun, he used a gun to hit the sun. This meant that he liked to destroy beautiful things. Perhaps it was his way of expressing himself. He liked to talk to himself. When he met the police, he was a little flustered. Without hesitation, he killed someone with a gun and then fled.
The character's personality was relatively simple. He looked like a traditional gangster, and the movie really began when he escaped. In the second part, he went into the shop to buy food. If he didn't have enough money, he would look for his old lover and steal money. His goal was clear. He was very talkative and easily convinced others, especially women. In order to pick up girls, get money to eat and sleep, knock people out and rob money, he even observed the man twice, knocked him out, took the money and left.
He was very sensitive and had never smiled. The conclusion he came to was that the people he fell in love with were all people who refused to give up for him. There was a line in the movie,"Become immortal and then die."
At the end of the movie, the woman helped the male lead cover up after learning that he had killed someone. The man told her the truth because of love. It was madness in the bones of human nature for a woman to become his partner and steal a car together.
The hooligans had a habit of stroking their lips with their hands, but the woman still told on them. The man was shot dead for that inexplicable love. After watching the movie, Mo Hexuan imitated the gangsters in the movie and stroked his lips with his hand. Then he muttered to himself, What is love?”Then, Mo Hexuan fell into deep thought. How many people had he loved over the years? How many people had loved him? In the end, he ended up with a headache.
She had slept too much during the day, so she couldn't sleep now. She opened the chat app and saw that Ye Fuyu's profile picture was lit up. He sent a message over and at the same time, attacked the movie that he recommended. It was a mess and had completely bad reviews. Mo Hexuan typed,"Hey, Grandpa is here. Come and welcome me."”Ye Fuyu was packing his clothes, camera, and toiletries for tomorrow's trip. When he saw the notification, he came over. Seeing that it was a message from Mo Hexuan, she was delighted. She thought to herself, This kid is lonely again.
He typed,"What's up, Master is free today?"”
Mo Hexuan glanced at the message and shivered."" Yes." He added a laughing emoji.
Ye Fuyu sent a long string of vomiting emojis.
Mo Hexuan continued,[I was scolded by the old man again today. I'm in a bad mood. Please comfort me.]”
Ye Fuyu was even more amused." It would be strange if you weren't scolded.”
"How can you be so inhumane? Are you my brother? Do you know how lethal this old man is?”
"What is it?"
"I got into a fight at the nightclub yesterday and was arrested for the whole night. Secretary Han only got me out this morning.”
"The beauty was snatched away? Look at you, do you still lack beauties? Brother, take it easy. What kind of woman have you ever cared about? You still want to fight with others? Are you retarded? The woman who went to the nightclub took off her makeup and scared you to death. Can you be more careful?”
Mo Hexuan was annoyed when he saw that she was scolding him again." It's not about the beauty. It's about a f * cking man trying to force himself on a woman. I saw it and went up to uphold justice. It's not about jealousy. There's a fundamental difference."”
"Do you still have your teeth?”
Mo Hexuan chuckled." What do you mean by two or three times? I've also trained before, alright? Black belt in Taekwondo. You've only been back for a short while. What do you know?”
Ye Fuyu laughed so hard that he almost choked on his breath.”
Mo Hexuan finished drinking the water." I'm perfectly fine. If the enemy hurts me, I'll lose 3,000 of my own. Can I let him take advantage of me? Didn't you see how badly injured that grandson was? He's ruthless."
"Then do you want to go out and play with me? I'm going to a village in the southwest tomorrow to find a lake and take some photos. I'll also take a look at the primitive scenery and let my soul and body be on the way.”
"Artists are indeed different. The movies they watch are very different, and the words they say are all in circles. Isn't it just going out to play? What's so fun about the village?”
"If you can't understand movies, that's because your realm isn't high enough. However, you can understand Young and Dangerous. That village is very different, and that lake is also very different.”
Mo Hexuan glanced at him and thought," This kid is jealous again. I know he studied modern art abroad, but I don't understand his thoughts in the past few years." As for art and aesthetics, she decided not to argue with him anymore. She did not want to be entangled with his brain-wrecking movies anymore."I'm not going. I promised the old man that I'll go out and look for a job tomorrow.”
"You've seen many girls in the city, but have you ever seen one from the village?”
Mo Hexuan first thought about the village girls on TV and replied,""She has three ears and two mouths?”
"It's not winter there. It's not snowing and the weather is clear.”
Mo Hexuan saw Qing Ning and replied,"You'll pay for the plane tickets. It's for two days."?”
"It's not a big deal. OK。”
"What should I bring?"
Ye Fuyu muttered in his heart," It's not like you haven't gone out to play before."A few thin clothes and toiletries. And you yourself."
"What time? Will you pick me up at my house or go to the airport yourself?”
"The flight is at 9:40 tomorrow morning. You have to be at the airport at 9:00.”
"Then I'm going to sleep.”Ye Fuyu replied with a moon emoji, indicating good night.
He called the airline company to book another ticket. After he was done, he glanced at the page that introduced the Thousand Year Lake. Then, he smiled and turned off the computer.
Mo Hexuan played a piece of music composed by a Japanese man named Ji Shen. She walked towards the bathroom. She had stayed in the nightclub for about an hour last night. Her entire body was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol and tobacco. During the day, because of his nervousness, the old man would teach him a lesson. He didn't even think of taking a shower. At this moment, he walked into the bathroom thoughtfully. He first took off his clothes, then looked at himself in the mirror and said," You're f * cking handsome again." Then, he hummed the lyrics happily, brushed his teeth, washed his face, showered, and went to bed.
