Nancheng is located at the junction of north and south, surrounded by mountains and shaped like a basin.
The unique geographical location makes it known as the "Fire City".
Nancheng is particularly difficult in August. The daily temperature remains high, and it is extremely hot at noon.
The old house of Mojia near the Fifth Ring Road is located in a manor surrounded by mountains and rivers.
One of the Western-style villas in the style of ancient European castles is particularly eye-catching among the various villas.
It is like an old but exquisite castle, with its own princess.
It is two o'clock in the afternoon.
The clown outside the window called out loudly. The door of a certain room on the second floor was gently pushed open. Aunt Zhou, the servant in black and white maid uniforms, slowly approached, finally presenting a princess with grand pink petals in full bloom. In front of the bed, through the thin lace gauze, he shouted softly.
"princess."
"princess."
"It's time to get up, princess..."
The only 10-year-old Mo is wearing a pink and fluffy nightdress lying between the same pink mattress. She closed her eyes, and her long black curled eyelashes left two fan-shaped shadows on her cheeks because she slept for too long. , The small face is red in the protein, as if it can be broken by a blow, plus the powdery little mouth that is slightly tilted from sleep...
The facial features are exquisite, as if God’s most ingenious craftsmanship.
"Princess, princess!" Because she didn't respond, Aunt Zhou increased her volume.
Finally, the little princess in the mattress trembled like cicada-wing eyelashes, and then slowly opened her eyes.
It is a pair of beautiful cat eyes, with the ignorant expression at the moment, there is a kind of innocence and sweetness that cannot be said.
"Princess, the gentleman called you to get up, and the guests came downstairs."
"What kind of guest, do you want to sleep?" After Mo You only said, he closed his eyes again.
"Princess, princess..."
Aunt Zhou is helpless.
But the husband said that there will be important people coming soon, and the little princess must be called up immediately.
So, she stretched out her hand directly, hugged Mo Sole, gently, while still coaxing, "The old man is here too, there should be an important guest, and the old man seems to be in a bad mood, princess, you Wake up quickly, don't make your husband angry..."
The little one closed her eyes and let the servant unsuspectingly let her take off her nightdress, then put on a red princess dress, combed her shoulder-length black long hair, and put on a small trim Crown bow hairpin...
Everything was set up, Aunt Zhou helped her walk downstairs like this.
**
In the magnificent living room of the villa, there are several people sitting on the sofa.
Wearing a very black tunic suit, it is Mr. Mo.
He is the current head of the Mo family. Although he is nearly 60 years old, he still controls the life and death of the Mo family.
At this moment, he was holding a leading cane in his hand, his dark eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his eyes pierced, and his eyes were filled with anger and horror that could not be ignored.
Mo Yaoxiong, who was sitting aside, showed obvious anxiety on his face.
He is just over thirty-five years old this year, and his facial features are quite similar to those of Mr. Mo, but he doesn't have the aura of his anger and prestige. Especially at this moment, his eyes are wandering, his hands are constantly rubbing, and his heart is very guilty. .
I don't know if it's because of being too afraid of this father, or because of something else.
Sitting next to him is his wife Xu Xian.
The woman has waist-length black hair, a gentle appearance, but no makeup, and her complexion is not very good, especially the semi-circular apricot eyes, which are clear but slightly apathetic, and look at the non-existent without focusing. Ahead, it seems to be worried.
Until, there was a sound from the stairs...
She got up quickly, and her dim eyes lit up instantly, "The only...Why is she still not awake?"
I saw Mo only closed his eyes, half-held by the servant like a puppet, walking down one step at a time...
When Mr. Mo saw the beautiful baby granddaughter, his tight face was slightly relieved.
Mo Yaoxiong glanced at his father and hurriedly got up, "One, wake up soon."
Mo Sui squinted his misty cat's eyes, then raised his little hand and rubbed it, finally he seemed a little awake.
Looking at the adults in front of them, they started shouting one by one, "Dad, mom, grandpa."
The well-behaved childlike voice made Old Man Mo feel reluctant. He leaned on the crutches, stretched out his fingers with a smile, and lightly nodded on the baby granddaughter’s forehead, "How can I sleep like this? Are you awake? Huh?"
Mo Tong nodded his head, but still couldn't help but yawned, "I'm so sleepy..."
Mo Yaoxiong said hurriedly, "Dad, since the only one has woken up, then I will let Ye Bai come in."
Father Mo's old smiling face instantly stiffened again.
Xu Xian was already sitting down on the sofa with her daughter's little hand. She looked at her daughter's beautiful and lovely appearance, raised her fingers and gently stroked her long hair, smiling at the corners of her mouth, but said nothing.
Father Mo gave a cold snort and walked to the sofa to sit down.
Mo Yaoxiong didn't dare to delay any more, he hurriedly motioned to the housekeeper, "Bo Shi, let Ye Bai come in."
"Okay, Master."
Mo Only leaned softly in his mother's arms, tilted his little face, and looked towards the door of the living room with a few adults.
After about a minute, footsteps came again.
It was Uncle Shi who came first. He walked to the door first, and then stretched out his hand to signal, "Master Xiao, please."
The fifteen-year-old boy hesitated for a while, then raised his foot and walked in like this.
This was the only time Mo saw Xiao Yebai.
That year, she was 10 years old and he was 15 years old.
When she was in school the day before, she and her good friend Su Houhou discussed which male star on TV was the most handsome!
When taking a nap just now, she still dreamed that the most handsome male celebrity said to be her boyfriend. As a result, she was woken up by the servant as soon as the two held a small hand...
But now she found...
The dream has come!
The teenager in front of him was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, tall and thin, tall and straight.
The afternoon sun projected in from outside the door, pulling his silhouette long, dragging a shadow on the floor.
Then he raised his eyes.
They are as beautiful as the male star.
The inner hook is curled outwards, the double eyelids are long and narrow, the pupils are dark and bright, and the eyelashes are long and dense, but when looking at people, the eyes are very cold, like a black pool without temperature.
Those eyes looked at all the people in the room from left to right, and then they looked back.
From beginning to end, his expression remained unchanged, nor did his eyes change.
Calm and stable, with extreme coldness, and a somewhat inexplicable taste of high coldness.
Mo Sui is young and can't understand well. The only recognition he has at the moment is: He is so beautiful! Looks like that male star on TV...
She opened her beautiful cat eyes.
Some look dumbfounded.
"You are Xiao Yebai." Father Mo's voice rang out.
He furrowed his thick black eyebrows, his eyes staring at the boy in front of him extremely harshly.
It’s pretty clean.
The temperament is also deserted.
At first glance, there is no vulgarity and dirt of those country folks.
Xiao Yebai nodded, and in accordance with Shi Kang's previous instructions, he shouted, "Hello, old man."
"Humph." Mr. Mo snorted coldly, "You are quite interesting, I thought..."
There is obvious mockery in his voice, "You will call my grandpa."
Mo Yaoxiong's expression stagnated.
Xiao Yebai still had a calm tone, "I haven't seen my grandpa."
never seen it.
It means dead.
Grandpa Mo suddenly narrowed his eyes, "I heard that your parents also passed away?"
Xiao Yebai nodded.
"Because of what?"
When the old man said this, Mo Yaoxiong hurriedly said, "Dad, didn't I tell you, Ye Bai his..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Mo held the leading cane, "Is he dumb? Need you to answer for him?"
Mo Yaoxiong was afraid to speak.
There is momentary silence in the living room.
Immediately after.
"probably because……"
Xiao Yebai's faint voice sounded, "I don't deserve to be alive."
Mo Yaoxiong's original silent face was because of the sudden turmoil of these four words.
He looked at the fifteen-year-old boy in front of him, his fists clenched, his facial features suddenly changed, and all kinds of complicated tangled emotions in his eyes...
Elder Mo just chuckled and quickly changed the subject, "Tell me, what do you do?"
Hearing this, Mo Yaoxiong hurriedly restrained his emotions, "Dad, Yebai is in the second year of high school after school starts. His academic performance has been ranked first in the school, and he has also participated in the National Olympiad and Physics Competition..."
"Okay." Father Mo interrupted his son impatiently, "Our Mo family will not raise any idlers for nothing. Drivers, bodyguards, servants..."
Mo Yaoxiong's brows tightened every time he said something.
Sure enough, the old man still can't accept Ye Bai, even if he cuts first and plays later, even if he said that he spent 5 million, carefully selected and wanted to adopt Ye Bai as his adopted son...
Mr. Mo has already thrown multiple-choice questions, "Speak, these, which do you want to do?"
Xiao Yebai raised his eyelids.
Dark and thick eyelashes conceal the emotion in his eyes, his thin lips opened, and he was about to speak...
"brother?"
A sweet and tender child's voice suddenly sounded.
The only person in Xu Xian's arms tilted his small face, looking at Xiao Yebai with a pair of beautiful cat eyes.
When he heard his granddaughter speak, his stern and mean old face instantly softened. He looked at his lovely granddaughter and looked at Xiao Yebai through her eyes.
The eyebrows were raised unexpectedly, and he asked, "The only one, do you like him... to be your brother?"
The 10-year-old Mo Only, when he heard this, he immediately stretched out his slender little finger domineeringly, "This brother is so beautiful, I want him to be my boyfriend!"
"..." Father Mo was stunned.
Mo Yaoxiong also widened his eyes in shock.
Even Xu Xian, who was originally silent and quiet, was a little frightened by her daughter's childish speech.
A few seconds later.
"Hahahahaha..." Father Mo let out a series of loud laughs.
Mo Sole retracted his little hand and pursed his small mouth, "Grandpa, are you laughing at me?"
Old man Mo's smile turned red. He shook his head, then looked at his precious granddaughter, "The only one, do you really want him?"
He automatically ignored the three words "boyfriend".
Mo Only is the only child of the Mo family. He is only 10 years old now. Naturally, it is impossible to find any boyfriends. These words were learned by children watching those TV shows.
Of course, even if you want to find a boyfriend, you cannot find Xiao Yebai from such a background.
Mo Sui nodded without hesitation, "Hmm!"
"Okay." Elder Mo also admitted.
As long as the granddaughter wants something, he will be satisfied.
There are many boys at home anyway, not many of them.
Mo Yaoxiong on the side was full of surprise.
Never imagined that his suspicious and critical father would suddenly change his attitude so quickly.
Knowing this long ago, he let the only and Ye Bai meet first.
He knew that with Xiao Yebai's appearance, the only one who liked beautiful things since childhood would definitely like it.
And as long as it is the only thing he likes, the old man will accept it.
Promise him to adopt is a matter of course.
The fifteen-year-old boy still looked cold, like the frost accumulated in the cold moon, and like the deep sea under the moonlight in late autumn, without any waves, without a trace of temperature.
Mo Yao's ambition was completely relieved, and he said, "Bo Shi, you take Ye Bai to rest first. You must be tired after running around on the road for a day."
Who knows...
"No."
Mo Only suddenly broke free from Xu Xian's arms, slid off the sofa, and ran out with short legs.
When she arrived, she hugged the young man's slender right leg, raised her head and shouted loudly, "I want him to play with me!"
Because the legs were hugged by a strange softness, Xiao Yebai's silent eyes finally moved slightly.
Then he lowered his head.
Seeing him looking down at himself, Mo Sui opened his small mouth and smiled sweetly at him.
The eyes of the two met for only a second, and Xiao Yebai looked away.
Mo's only pair of cat eyes brightened instantly.
His eyes are really beautiful, they seem to be even more beautiful than his own...
"Okay, then play with the only one for a while." Father Mo ordered with a smile.
Shi Kang did not dare to violate the order.
Mo Yaoxiong did not dare to stop.
but……
The young boy's tall and thin body stood upright there, letting his legs be held by a little red dwarf, and he raised his head and said nothing...
Although his face is still cold and indifferent since entering the room, no one can tell except for the innocent Mo One. His expression is not indifference at all, but a...hidden in his bones. Arrogance and disdain.
Mo Yaoxiong was uneasy, and hurriedly walked over and whispered, "Ye Bai, this is my daughter, she is the only one, and she will be your sister from now on."
Xiao Yebai still did not speak.
Mo Yaoxiong's face was embarrassed, and then he immediately looked at his daughter, "The only one, this is your brother. You will call his brother in the future, you know?"
Mo only blinked his beautiful big eyes, "Brother?"
"Yes, didn't you call his brother just now? From now on he will be your brother..."
"I do not!"
Mo Yaoxiong was taken aback, "The only one, obedient!"
"Xiao Bai." Mo Duong let go of his hands and lifted up, holding the slender and beautiful big white porcelain hand of the young man hanging beside him, and said gruffly, "I will call you Xiaobai from now on. May I?"
Without saying a word, Xiao Yebai broke his fingers away from the soft but unfamiliar touch almost immediately.
Mo Only: "..."
She just looked at him with her head up.
Then turned his head, looked at Dad, then at Mom, and finally at Grandpa.
The little face was full of ignorance.
"Heh." Mr. Mo got up with his cane and came to him, "Why, don't you like the name Xiaobai?"
His tone sounded very gentle, and the 10-year-old Mo Only could not hear the contempt and threat in his words.
"What my granddaughter likes to call you, you are what." Old man Mo lowered his voice and said every word, "She likes you, you have the value of being in this family, understand? From now on you will be her toy. For toys, she You can call it whatever you want..."
"It's not a toy!" Mo Dui finally understood, and explained to his grandpa carefully, "Xiao Bai is my boyfriend!"
Father Mo's expression froze, but he laughed quickly, "Okay, it's your boyfriend."
Mo Sui immediately bent his mouth, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth like millet grains, "I want Xiaobai to play with me!"
"Okay." Elder Mo continued to agree, and directly ordered, "Shi Kang, take him down and wash it clean, and then bring him to accompany him one by one."
"Yes." Shi Kang stepped forward, "follow me first."
And Mo Youyi was already quickly pulled back by Grandpa Mo, "One by one, come over and play the piano for Grandpa first, OK?"
She twisted her head and looked at Xiao Yebai. When she heard these words, she immediately frowned, "Don't..."
"The only one!" Xu Xian said, "How do you talk to Grandpa?"
Her voice was slightly stern, "How did you practice the song the teacher taught this morning?"
Mo Soong was held and sat in front of the pure black piano, and Old Man Mo stood aside with a smile, listening to him.
Unfortunately……
After waiting for a long time, the baby granddaughter did not move.
"The only one!" Xu Xian has already come to the front, "What's the matter? Grandpa has a rare time to listen to you playing the piano today. In the morning, Teacher Xu said that you practiced well, why not..."
"I don't want to play." Mo You only blurted out.
"Why?" Xu Xian lowered her voice, her eyes full of sternness.
"Just don't want to."
"you……"
"It's all right." Mr. Mo reached out his hand and hugged his precious granddaughter.
Xu Xian said hurriedly, "Dad, the only child is a bit spoiled, in fact, this morning, Teacher Xu said she..."
"Okay." Old man Mo interrupted a little impatiently, smiling while speaking, his eyes almost never looked away from his granddaughter's face, "You, don't be so fierce to my granddaughter. If you have something to say, little girl Home, don’t always scare her like that."
Xu Xian helplessly, "Dad, I don't have any, I just want her..."
"This topic ends here." Old Man Mo's tone increased slightly.
"..." Xu Xian dared not speak any more.
Mo Youyi snuggled his small body into his grandpa's arms and acted like a baby, "Grandpa, I don't want to learn to play the piano."
Xu Xian looked at her, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled and tightened.
"Then what do you want to learn?" Father Mo asked with a smile.
"..." Mo You only crooked his beautiful little face, thinking for a long time, "I will tell you when I think about it."
With the same tone as the little adult, Old Man Mo laughed loudly, "Well, good, then wait and think about it before telling grandpa, grandpa will help you find the best teacher, okay?"
"Great!"
Xu Xian stood by, and this time, even her hands were tightly twisted together.
Until Mo Yaoxiong's voice suddenly rang around him, "Xu Xian, come with me."
Xu Xian retracted her gaze and followed her husband inside.
And soon, in less than half an hour, Shi Bo took the boy and returned.
Fifteen-year-old Xiao Yebai wore black clothes and black trousers, with the word "ink" embroidered on the neckline of the sleeves.
Because I had just taken a shower, my short hair was still a little damp, darker and thicker, and the face that was set off was almost sickly cold and white.
"Xiao Bai!" Mo Only's eyes lit up, and he broke away from his grandfather's fingers and ran towards him.
Uncle Shi said with a smile, "Little princess, now you can let your Xiaobai play with you, and it's all cleaned up."
Mo Only glanced at Shi Bo, and soon set his gaze on Xiao Yebai's face again.
He is so tall...
Even with the light behind it, I can't see clearly.
Mo Soong stretched out his small hand, pulled his finger, moved a position aside, and then carefully looked at his beautiful facial features. Finally, his small mouth was curved, "I want to go outside to see the little goldfish, Xiao Bai You stay with me."
Xiao Yebai did not speak.
Elder Mo squinted, "Uncle Shi, follow along and look closer."
"Okay, old man."
Mo Youyi took Xiao Yebai and ran out.
...
In the small pavilion with white bricks and red tiles, Mo Sui dragged Xiao Yebai all the way to the front of a big fish tank.
When she got to the front, she let go of her hands, but soon, she raised her hands for a hug.
"Xiao Bai, hold me!"
Xiao Yebai stood there thin and straight, without speaking.
In fact, since he was pulled all the way out by Mo Youyi, he has never spoken.
"Cough cough cough." Not far away, Shi Bo coughed heavily to remind.
What should be said, what should not be said, he has reminded it in private just now.
Mo Only turned his head and glanced at Shi Bo curiously.
Then he turned his head, his hands fluttered up and down several times, "Xiao Bai! Hold me!"
Xiao Yebai still stood tall and tall, handsome and thin, but a little bit shameless. He did not stretch out his hands, speak, or object.
Uncle Shi raised his foot and walked over, "Did you not hear the little princess speaking?"
Mo Only raised his small head and looked at the boy in front of him blankly.
"Wait later, if the princess is angry, tell the old man, don't blame me for not reminding you! You can stay here, all because the little princess likes you, your task now is to accompany her well and make her happy..."
"Bo Shi!"
Uncle Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly smiled and asked, "Little princess, what's the matter?"
"You... go over there!" Mo only pointed his little finger behind him, "Don't bother me and Xiao Bai here!"
Uncle Shi was speechless, "Little princess, the old man said..."
"I don't want you here!" Mo Su stomped on his little leather shoes, angrily, "You are so noisy!"
Shi Bo: "..."
He coughed and straightened up, "Okay, I see."
He turned around, not forgetting to whisper, "Take care of the princess, I'm behind the pavilion."
...
When Uncle Shi left, Mo Youyi turned his anger into joy. She pulled Xiao Yebai's sleeves, "Xiao Bai, do you think I am heavy?"
"..."
"Actually I am not heavy, I am very skinny, you must be able to hold me, do you want to try?"
Facing the little princess's trembling spirit, Xiao Yebai turned directly.
Mo Only: "..."
She just watched as a boy in black turned around, walked into the pavilion, and then sat down on the stone bench.
? ? ?
A few seconds later, she followed the flapping shoes and stepped in, "Xiao Bai, it turns out that you are too hot outside!"
Xiao Yebai lifted up on one foot, sitting with her long leg bent and leaning against the stone pillar, looking slantingly with her long and beautiful peach blossom eyes.
On the side of the pavilion is a pond, planted with some lotus, in which there are colorful carps of various colors.
Not far from the pond, it gathers into a small stream with a winding path, and there is a small bridge in the distance, next to a Chinese courtyard.
The last side of the Chinese courtyard is the place where Shi Bo took him to take a bath just now-the servant's room.
Such a big yard, worthy of a shot worth 5 million, can buy a living person without blinking...
"noob!"
The noisy childish voice interrupted his thoughts.
Xiao Yebai was a little impatient, frowned and turned away.
Surprisingly, an unfamiliar sweet smell seemed close at hand.
Next second.
Mo Zui tried his little mouth, and kissed him on the cheek quickly.
Xiao Yebai looked at the beautiful little face that was flushing in the sun, slightly startled.
"Xiao Bai, you are so good-looking!" Before Mo Zui finished speaking, he suddenly felt heavy on his body.
Xiao Yebai suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed hard.
"what--"
Mo You only let out a scream, and the whole person fell to the ground with a "bang".
After a second of surprise.
"Wow..." Mo Soong opened his small mouth, crying terribly.
The little girl's voice was sharp and piercing, and soon attracted Shi Bo.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Mo came over with a cane.
The old man who was nearly 60 years old was furious, and slammed down at him with a cane...
Xiao Yebai opened his eyes suddenly.
He was in a cold sweat and his heart was beating like thunder, but the whole person was in the dark night.
Quiet all around, except for his gasping and heartbeat.
After a few seconds, Xiao Yebai reacted.
He was dreaming again.
I don't know how many times it was like this. Even if I took sleeping pills, I would suddenly wake up from the endless nightmare.
This time, what I dreamed about was the first time he entered the Mohist school when he was fifteen.
Xiao Yebai slowly exhaled a long breath.
But the frantic sound of his heart seemed to pop out of his chest.
There is no drowsiness, and even more and more awake.
He clenched his fingers, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and clenched his teeth.
Breathing is getting heavier and faster.
The joints quickly whitened, the meridians on the back of the hand were clearly raised, and then the joints creaked vaguely.
Maintaining this posture in this way, the whole person is about to be swallowed by the suffocation.
Mo only...
These three words trapped his mind, heart, and even the whole person as if bound.
He couldn't calm down.
Until the sky outside gradually turned white and bright, the dazzling golden sunlight projected in from the French windows.
Xiao Yebai raised his head and saw the wedding photo hanging on the opposite wall.
In the red wedding dress, Mo only smiled sweetly, like a princess who didn't know much about human affairs.
Xiao Yebai stared at her like this with scarlet eyes, without moving.
When the alarm clock on the bedside table began to sound familiarly, in a daze, the man stretched out his hand to press the alarm clock, but in the chaos, there was the sound of various medicine bottles falling and falling to the floor.
He staggered up and got out of bed, then walked into the bathroom.
**
After 30 minutes.
"Young Master Xiao, early."
In the restaurant downstairs, Aunt Zhou has already prepared the breakfast, which is delicious in color, fragrance and flavor.
The man in shirt and trousers sat down on the seat, his voice was low and cold, "Black coffee."
Aunt Zhou: "...Okay."
Like every morning in the past three years, she has become accustomed to Master Xiao’s essential cup of black coffee every morning, but she is always accustomed to helping him get rid of this bad habit.
although……
It can't be changed at all.
...
Soon, a cup of black coffee was delivered, and Aunt Zhou stood aside and said, "Master Xiao, I visited my husband at the temple the other day."
Xiao Yebai did not speak, but ate breakfast quietly.
Aunt Zhou: "..."
Mo Yaoxiong's idea of becoming a monk suddenly emerged two years ago.
Since the death of Mr. Mo, the Mo family has been sparsely populated, and in an instant, he and Xiao Yebai were left alone.
But because Xiao Yebai's life experience broke out too suddenly that year, there was no communication between the father and son, and the relationship seemed to be even stranger than before.
Mo Yaoxiong always lived alone in the old house, even if he was sick and hospitalized. One day, somehow, he packed his things and went to Nanshan Temple, and never came back.
Aunt Zhou would visit him at the temple from time to time, trying to persuade him to come back.
But Mo Yaoxiong seemed to have decided.
And Xiao Yebai had never expressed any opinions on this, let alone visited in the past.
Occasionally, reporters would mention it during interviews, and Xiao Yebai also said faintly, "This matter has nothing to do with today's interview", completely changing the topic.
Alas, it would be great if the little princess was here.
just……
It has been almost three and a half years since the little princess left, and there is still no news.
Don't know how she's doing?
And the child in her stomach...
Aunt Zhou shook her head and turned to leave.
