"I don't know if you think it's funny, but when I was very young, I did like a boy.”
She stopped and looked at Song Ziwei's expression. Seeing that he was listening attentively, she continued.
"At that time, I had just started elementary school and my family had just moved nearby. I wasn't very familiar with the children around me, but I would play with them every day and try my best to integrate into them.”
"There was a time when a boy came among us. He didn't live in this area, and I don't know when he started to show up, but when I noticed him, he had already become the core of the children. They all liked to surround him, and I liked it too. At that time, I felt that his eyes were the deepest eyes I had ever seen. There seemed to be many things in them that I couldn't even imagine at that time.”
As she spoke, her eyes lit up.
"After a while, another child told me that his father seemed to have started a new business here. He came with his father who came to the construction site every day to check. At that time, he would only appear in the afternoon every day. If he appeared for an hour or two, his father would call him away. However, he became the king of our children.”
She turned her head and looked at Song Ziwei carefully.
"You might laugh at me, but at that time, after I saw his eyes, I fell in love with him. At that time, I was very timid. In order to see him, I would come out every afternoon, but I would always mingle with the children and surround him, or follow him at the back of a group of children. Anyway, at that time, I didn't dare to talk to him because I liked him.”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Song Ziwei. As expected, he was listening with interest and had a sly smile on his face.
She continued.
"Until one day, when the children were playing house together, I was assigned to the same group as him during the drawing of lots. He played the role of the father and I played the role of the mother. At that time, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak, so I followed closely behind him. Later, when we played hide-and-seek, I still followed him. After he took me to hide, he suddenly asked me if I wanted to play something exciting. I nodded my head frantically. Then, he took me and ran away. We ran very, very far to a place that I didn't even know. We only stopped when we reached this water tower. He asked me again if I wanted to go up and explore. I said yes, so he brought me up.”
She stopped and looked around at the water tower that she was so familiar with.
"That was the first time I went up the water tower. He was the one who brought me here. But after that day, he disappeared and never came back.”
As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually faded.
..............
Song Ziwei didn't say anything even after Su Yanle had finished speaking. He just laid there in the same position as before. It was impossible to tell if he had been listening seriously just now.
Su Yanle felt that her attitude was a little annoying, so she simply turned around and turned her back to him.
Just as she turned over, he spoke again, as if he was doing it on purpose.
"You really took this kind of thing seriously when you were young. I probably won't meet you again in the future. Moreover, even if I meet you, you won't recognize me.”
He smiled and said, but his tone was a little cold.
Su Yanle suddenly sat up, looking a little angry.
"Who said that? I remember his eyes!”
That's right, she remembered his eyes and would recognize him no matter what.
When Song Ziwei heard her say this, he laughed, as if he was laughing at a cute puppy rolling on the ground.
"Actually, you didn't even get his name, right?”he said faintly.
Su Yanle was stunned.
Indeed, he didn't even need to ask for his name.
Although she had heard other children calling her name when she was playing, she had never heard it clearly because she always hid at the back.
She couldn't say anything and simply lay down with her back facing Song Ziwei.
Song Ziwei, who was behind him, was thinking about something and did not speak for a long time.
"Actually, I've been here before when I was young.”
After a long time, when Su Yanle was about to fall asleep, he suddenly spoke again.
When she heard him say this, her pajamas disappeared. She moved her body and began to listen carefully.
"That was the first year after Ziqian's death. Yang Jing had completely ignored me, and my father began to numb himself with work. In the past, my family had opened chain supermarkets. That was his first time trying to build a large shopping mall. At that time, the site was nearby. He did not need to personally supervise the construction work, but he still liked to leave the company every day and run to the construction site. Actually, I know that he wants to use this method to ease the pain of losing his son through the chaos and noise of the construction site."
As he spoke, he gulped.
"So that summer vacation, I followed him here every day. In the afternoon, I played nearby like an unwanted wild child. When he left at night, he would come back and call me. At that time, I thought that as long as I could escape from Yang Jing's gaze, it would be fine no matter where I stayed.”
He spoke softly as if he was telling someone else's story.
Su Yanle, who was beside him, listened to him silently with her back to him. She was unusually quiet, but her eyes were already wide open.
She knew. She understood everything at once. However, she just stood there stiffly and did not dare to say anything.
She had never expected that the little boy with the deep eyes back then, the little boy who had led her to the water tower, was actually Song Ziwei.
So, was he mocking her?
She recalled what she had just said.
"I'll recognize him. I know his eyes.”
That was what she said.
However, she did not notice the person who had been in front of her for so long.
Su Yanle had an impulse to escape.
She sat up abruptly. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard him call out a name that evoked countless memories in her.
"Su?"
Song Ziwei tentatively called out.
She felt her body stiffen for a moment, then go limp again, and she felt a wave of numbness.
How long had it been since someone called her that?
She thought that there was probably no one else besides the children who played with her at that time.
She remembered that when she had just moved there, a large group of children surrounded her and asked for her name. She did not dare to say anything, but her mother smiled and stood behind her and said that her name was Ah Su.
Hence, they started to shout.
It turned out that he already knew her name back then.
She turned her head abruptly and looked into Song Ziwei's eyes.
So he remembered her!
She finally understood why she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity towards him.
"I think you said that when you were young, you saw something incomparably profound in my eyes. It's probably because you saw through everything I went through.”
Song Ziwei also sat up.
"You can't be blamed for not recognizing me. After so many years, I'm no longer the little boy who exposed everything to the outside world. My eyes are probably covered with a layer of fog that can cover everything.”As he spoke, he looked into her eyes.
Su Yanle studied his eyes and found that it was indeed as he said. His eyes were now covered with a thick layer of fog.
She didn't know why she said something so childish.
"Well, since you didn't recognize me before, then let's forget about it.”
she said.
She only remembered that after he finished speaking, Song Ziwei started to laugh out loud. He laughed for a long time, and she just sat there foolishly, as if she could not believe that everything was true.
……
Zhang Yiwen had not received any notice for two days.
Although she was ordered not to contact him for no reason, she still called the man worriedly.
"Hello? Didn't I tell you not to call casually? Do you really think Song Ziwei and the others are fools and won't find out about us?”
As expected, the moment she picked up, she heard the angry reprimand from the man.
"I just want to ask when we'll make our move.”
Zhang Yiwen tried her best to suppress her temper and asked politely.
"Not long." Speaking of this, the man's tone on the other end of the phone also calmed down.
"We'll do it immediately. I can tell you some good news.”
"What good news?"
Zhang Yiwen immediately asked.
"When we first attacked, the first to suffer was the Su family.”The man on the other end of the phone said with a hint of schadenfreude.
Zhang Yiwen agreed and hung up the phone with satisfaction. She smiled like a witch who had developed a new poison.
