Chapter 717

The winter in London is as cold as that in the imperial city.

One is cold from the inside out, the other is cold through the heart and bones.

Standing in the center of pigeon square, it is no longer as quiet as that snowy day 30 years ago, but full of voices.

All kinds of skin color, all kinds of street culture performance, noisy without a moment of quiet.

He stood in the middle and turned around, looking at the place that had been changed quickly and could not be recognized, with complex emotions flowing in his heart.

Thirty years ago, he was also standing here. In this position, beside his ears, was his mother's gentle voice:

close your eyes and let's play a game. You count to a hundred, and then come to me. Count slowly, OK?

"Good." He said softly, closed his eyes and began to count silently in his heart: "one, tow, the..."

All the voices in his ears were ignored by him. Time seemed to go back to the snowy day 30 years ago.

The five-year-old stood in the middle of the square, with a black coat, a big red scarf, white skin, long eyelashes and a happy smile on his small mouth. Red and tender lips close and close, slowly counting: one, tow, the

After counting the hundred, his long eyelashes trembled and lifted slowly. The person he wanted to see was not there.

Thin lips slightly opened, with a smile of self mockery.

Familiar location, no longer familiar environment.

Isn't the purpose of his coming here to find the happy little boy 30 years ago?

He had been in England for five years, but he did not dare to step into London or recall the memory of that year.

Now, he's here.

……………………

In the hotel, as soon as Xi Jincheng's luggage was put down, there were bursts of rushing doorbells on the door.

Don't think about it. He knows who such a rash guy is.

Go over, just opened a crack in the door, the door was pushed in from outside.

He stepped aside on guard, with a weight on his neck and a weight on his waist. But in the blink of an eye, he had a "koala" on his body.

"Arthur, I miss you so much!" Angel hugs Xi Jincheng tightly, and "Baji Baji" a rash kiss on his face.

Xi Jincheng went over her shoulder and looked at a noble woman in a top hat and sunglasses standing outside the door, silent.

"Arthur, long time no see." The woman took off her sunglasses, and her blue eyes, like Xi Jincheng's, flashed with tears.

Xi Jincheng pursed her lips, looked at her lightly, and did not respond.

"Arthur, what are you doing? Mommy is talking to you Angel pinches his nose and pouts to remind him.

"Come down." Xi Jincheng pulled angel off her body and looked at her frowned face. She finally showed a smile: "how old is it?"

"Eighteen years old!" Angel wrinkled his nose and said mischievously.

"Yes, you will always be eighteen!" Xi Jincheng smiles and turns to enter the room.

From the beginning to the end, he even gave a greeting to the woman outside the door.

Just the expressionless appearance, the surging heart, no one can know.

"Mommy, come on in!" Angel followed Xi Jincheng in and walked a few steps, but when she saw her mother standing there, she turned back, took her arm and pulled her inside.

The woman hesitated and followed angel in.

"Arthur, didn't you ask me to call mummy? Why don't you talk to Mommy? " Angel looks at Xi Jincheng, who puts his luggage beside him, and complains.

"Sit down!" Xi Jincheng glances at angel and then says indifferently to their common mother, grace.

"Thank you." When grace heard him talking to her, she got excited and her tears came down.

"Mommy Angel exclaimed in amazement. At a loss, she took the tissue and wiped her mother's tears carefully.

"I'm just so happy, Arthur, you You are finally willing to talk to me Grace covered her mouth and choked a few times.

"Mommy, I've already forgiven you, otherwise, he won't recognize my sister!" Angel looks at Grace and Xi Jincheng. Isn't that right?

Grace looks at Xi Jincheng and can't believe what angel said is true.

"I want to know why you left me and My dad Xi Jincheng pursed her lips, didn't give her any affirmation, just asked him the purpose of coming to England.

"Thirty years ago..." Grace obviously froze for a while, her eyes flickered, and instinctively appeared the look of escape.

"Because of you and my father, I had no parents for 30 years, and I didn't forgive my father. Can't you tell me why I was left in pigeon square?" Xi Jincheng didn't mean to blame or pursue, just calm and indifferent, as if what he asked was nothing to do with him.Grace took off her hat and hung her head down, as if she was tidying up the lace on the brim of her hat, as if she was tidying up the memories of 30 years ago.

For a moment, there was no sound.

Angel can't stand such a serious and tense atmosphere. She starts to move her hips and make a "rustle" sound of rubbing with the suede sofa.

Xi Jincheng stares at Grace, not distracted by angel's voice.

He didn't let go of the slightest change in grace's face.

"I made an appointment with your father. You belong to him. He won't give you to me." Grace finally raised her head, white with a little light freckles, washed by tears, even more pale.

In her eyes that welcome Xi Jincheng, there is a painful feeling.

This is the old wound, accumulated pain, originally thought that has been covered with dust, will not see the day.

Now it has been uprooted and spared no effort.

"At that time, did my father have an affair that led to the breakdown of your relationship?" Xi Jincheng didn't want to investigate why she left him in the pigeon square and let him face such a big square alone. Except for the pigeons, he couldn't find a person.

Now he just wants to know if he should forgive celi!

"An affair?" Grace was stunned for a moment, her eyes were confused for a moment, and then she shook her head: "Oh, no, he didn't have an affair! We started with mistakes, not his problems. "

"Then why did you leave when I was five and the woman's child was three?" Xi Jincheng frowned and didn't know whether to be happy or sad when hearing such a fact.

"Your father and I broke up when I was pregnant! But at that time, we were not reconciled Maybe... " Grace pauses and finally can't look at him and say, "maybe you shouldn't have been born in the first place.".
