It was already late at night. Ji Ruxue opened a bottle of red wine and drank by herself. Not long later, more than half of the wine had been drunk. Ji Mufeng's face was hidden in the darkness as he revealed an opposing stance.
"Actually, I can't drink. At that time, I was depressed after childbirth and fell drunk in my room day and night, not in the mood to take care of my children at all. It was Siyuan who had been taking care of me all this time."
Ji Ru Xue shook the wine bottle before pouring out the last cup and shaking it before her eyes. The night was dark, and the color of the wine was dark red like dripping blood.
Ji Mufeng's throat moved a little and he opened his mouth with much difficulty. His voice became hoarse because he hadn't eaten for two days, "You know about it too. That kind of situation …"
The wine cup fell onto the thick carpet without any sound and rolled to Ji Mufeng's feet. Ji Mufeng picked up the cup and placed his right thumb onto the lip print left on the rim of the cup and rubbed it repeatedly.
Ji Ruxue had already forgiven Ji Siyuan for what he had done to her. Tears trickled down his cheeks, leaving a wriggling mark on his face.
Her voice was choked with sobs, but there was a hint of coldness in her tone. "What's the situation, hm? You forced him to do all of this. Before you forced him, even if it's his second personality, he still didn't do anything that would let Ji Clan down.
In the past two days, everyone had been comforting Ji Mufeng and saying that it wasn't his fault, but Ji Ruxue's pointing out that it was because of his arbitrariness and his selfishness that had forced Ji Siyuan to his death.
If Ji Siyuan had died due to Leng Xinyuan's personality, he wouldn't have felt too sad. However, Ji Siyuan had tried so hard to regain control of that body, but he still ended up dying due to his spear. That was what made him feel guilty and sad.
However, Ji Mufeng wasn't willing to let others clarify his thoughts. He would rather let others paralyze him. Hence, he pinched Ji Ruxue's lower jaw and fiercely kissed her.
There had been too many unforeseen events recently. The two of them were like two wounded beasts licking each other's wounds, fiercely biting each other as if to vent the love and hatred in their hearts.
The night was exceptionally intense. There were several bloody marks on Ji Mufeng's back, and Ji Ruxue's body was also covered in purple.
Ji Mu Feng had already fallen asleep. Ji Ru Xue's eyes were wide open as she stared at the ceiling. What kind of feelings did she have for Ji Mu Feng?
Was it love? Of course it was love, or else she wouldn't have given birth to his child. After experiencing so much, she still wanted to be with him. Was there any hatred? Of course he hated the idea of cutting off his own arm and locking it in the golden cage he had weaved so meticulously.
After some wild thoughts, Ji Mufeng dug out a pill from the bedside table and ate it before falling into a deep sleep. After she fell asleep, Ji Mufeng opened his eyes and lightly kissed her eyelids before putting on his clothes and leaving.
It was a good day and the temperature was just right. There was a slight breeze that blew some flowers towards the front of the house. Not many people came to attend Ji Siyuan's memorial service; they were all his closest friends.
Anna, who had accompanied Gu Wanyang here, saw the little grape and teased him for a while before asking, "Why are you bringing your child here?" Ji Ruxue had already adjusted her mood and explained while holding onto the small grape. "He must understand all of this in order to make him understand that he is dead without fear. Because one day, we will also leave him."
The little grapes struggled to place a small paper bag on the table and gently caress the black and white photo. In the photo, he was forever frozen, while the little grapes spoke in a baby voice, "Far away, these are our pants, I'll leave it for you. Mom said that the little grapes will always remember far away, so they will never leave me."
The child's childish words made the surrounding people's eyes turn red. After bidding farewell, Ji Mufeng pulled Ji Ru Xue and walked outside, "What happened? Why are you leaving now? " Ji Ruxue was slightly puzzled.
"There will be someone coming over later, so it would be inconvenient for us to be present. After all, he was born, so we should be here to take a look." Ji Mufeng didn't make it clear, but Ji Ruxue already understood his meaning, so she left with Little Grape.
A tall, thin woman, wearing a large hat that obscured her face, got out of the car. She stood at the door, looked up at the sky, adjusted her black coat, and took a deep breath before walking inside.
There was only one person standing in the middle of the large room, and the entire room was filled with the orange color that Ji Siyuan loved best. Sunlight covered the floor, and the walls were covered with photographs of him from when he was young, showing the boy's short and brilliant life.
Leng Ning took off her hat, her eyes filled with tears. She hadn't expected her child to grow up to be so big, but that was all she could do.
Leng Ning still remembered how she had only been able to catch a glimpse of him when he was born. She only remembered that he was a wrinkled, bright red child, howling and crying loudly. When she left, he had already grown into a beautiful three-year-old boy.
All sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. At that time, Leng Ning only knew that he had been taken away by someone, and even after so many years of searching, they still hadn't been able to find him.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard behind her. Leng Ning didn't expect that someone else would come at this time. She was just about to put on her hat and leave when she realised that the person standing in front of her was the man she once loved.
Thin lines had already appeared at the corners of his eyes. Previously, he was still a bit arrogant when he was young. However, as time passed, he felt that the aura exuded from his body was getting stronger and stronger. No one dared to look down on him.
Leng Ning hadn't expected that her meeting with her son at the memorial service that had spanned over twenty years would be this time. With great difficulty, she forced a smile, "You're here, did you receive the news as well?"
Leng Ning wiped away the tears on her face before turning her head back to look at him, as if she was afraid of something. She continued, "You should go take a look at him. His name is Si Yuan, he's very handsome …"
Cold Night walked past him to the table. He looked at Ji Siyuan's photo with a complicated expression, both anger and sadness. "No one told me that I came here on my own. I knew when he died."
Leng Ning naturally knew who he was. Leng Ye had been paranoid and crazed back then, and after so many years, he would surely become even more ferocious.
He then asked hoarsely, "What did you do to Siyuan?" She could endure the fact that her child had accidentally died, but she could not accept the fact that he had been killed, especially on a cold night when he had been hurt by his own father.
Leng Ye only said, "Siyuan was always here with me. He died with great honor. He died for me. He is a child that I am proud of."
"Pah!" Leng Ning looked at him with disappointment in her eyes, "You didn't harm me enough, did you still harm my child?" I will make you pay. "
The lovers that were once sweet were now all at loggerheads, standing in the room for a long time on a cold night. They didn't leave until late at night.
The little grape was carried by Ji Ruxue as she sat on a chair outside the balcony. Looking at the dark, blue sky, she said, "Mom, where are we now? Dad said the sky turned into stars in the distance. "
Ji Ru Xue used her index finger to tap the little grape's chest. "Darling, it's far away from here. It's in your heart." At this moment, Ji Mufeng, who had just finished showering, walked out as well.
Hearing this, Ji Mufeng pretended to be angry, "Why? Why are you saying bad things about me behind my back?" Ji Ru Xue naturally performed well in front of her children.
He picked up the small grape and ran into the bedroom, saying to the small grape, "The Demon King overheard our secret. Run!" The little grape was also waving its little fists in the air, "Run!"
Ji Mufeng was also so amused that he was almost suffocated from laughing, "The fat boy has been caught by the great demon king! The Great Demon King wants to eat you! "
They didn't know what would happen tomorrow, so they just hoped that tonight would be a little longer and let him have an illusion that they were truly a family of three, living a simple and happy life.
"I heard someone found traces of Bai Yue?" Leng Ye tidied his sleeves and came out of the interrogation room. He looked refined like a professor, ignoring the fact that the interrogation room had been tormented to the point where it had become a mess of flesh and blood.
The subordinate reported carefully, "At that time, we did not find Bai Yue's corpse. We thought that he was dragged away by some ferocious beasts. Not long ago, someone found traces of him in R City."
Leng Ye wiped the blood off his hands and took the photo. It really did look like Bai Yue. Who would have thought that he would suddenly get angry and throw the photo at their faces?
The edge of the photo drew across his face, leaving behind a trail of blood. His men did not even dare to breathe loudly, let alone wipe their wounds. Ever since Leng Si left, Leng Ye had become even more furious.
"How do you do that? If not, I will personally teach you all how to make your move! "
Leng Ye's hands moved like characters in a comical play, but no one dared to say anything, "What are you standing there for!? Hurry up and bring back the head of Bai Yue! "
Only then did his subordinates, as if they had received a special pardon, leave the room. The cold night remained calm for a while, before they picked up their communication device and ordered with squinted eyes, "Gather the third hall master. I have something important to discuss with them, we can't delay it."
