“The mistake should not continue.” Gu Jiajie said to himself.
The hospital became quiet. After Ma Houde left, he himself sat at the deserted corridor for a long time.
When he returned to the ward, he found that his grandma had fallen asleep.
All of his childhood memory about her was blurred…
Gu Jiajie sighed and put his grandma’s hand in the quilt, wondering if she was having a good dream.
Then he shook his head… Suddenly, he decided to tidy up his brother’s reminding items. Actually, there weren’t much, just some simple bags.
It was just that he wasn’t willing to look at them.
Perhaps it was because he had came clean tonight…
But actually he didn’t know how to handle these things himself…
In the luggage of his brother in the cabinet of the sickroom, there were just some clothes and daily necessities.
“It smells, how long has it not been washed?” Gu Jiajie shook his head and poured everything out.
Then he found a folded square paper— a letter.
—If I were taken away that time, would our fates be different?
Reading this, Gu Jiajie knew this letter was written to him.
“Brother…” He muttered and helplessly sat down on the floor.
…
…
Though the machines were noisy, the voice was clear since the trio were very close.
“Jiajie!” Shen Meihuan hurriedly walked to him with eagerness as if nobody else was here.
She didn’t want to know why the club boss was here. What she only cared about now was that she finally found her son.
She closely held him and gently patted his back— even if he was decaying.
“Did I… ruin your plan?” Miss Black Water asked cautiously.
She seemed to salvage some pride. Pride which she left behind when she fled from this boss frantically.
“Ruin?” Luo Qiu shook his head, “Why does Miss Black Water say that?”
She sneered, “Didn’t I? Then what do you mean by following him and ensuring he isn’t found?”
“You are not wrong.” Luo Qiu nodded, “I did do that.”
“As expected.” Miss Black Water snorted.
Hearing the talking, Shen Meihuan suddenly turned around and stared at Luo Qiu—because she thought of the mysterious man with a mask.
And she was sure this man who was just a little older than her son was the boss of the club.
“What…what do you want to do to my son? Our deal is over.” Shen Meihuan protected her son in front and sternly said, “You can take away everything you want, but except my son!”
“Dear customer, I won’t do anything to Gu Jiajie.” Luo Qiu shook his head, “Because he’s… not here.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Shen Meihuan looked back and firmly said, “He is here! Can’t you see?”
She held her son’s one hand, “Here! I took him here before!”
But at this moment, Shen Meigyan’s hand was slapped away.
She was shocked and said in a flurry, “Jiajie, what’s wrong with you? I’m your mum… Jiajie, don’t you remember me?”
He just turned around to take the hammer and meaninglessly struck the tortoises…
“Jiajie…” Shen Meihuan sadly covered her mouth.
Staring at Boss Luo, she angrily said, “What… What have you done to my son! He never did this to me! What have you done!!”
“There seems to be some problems.” Luo Qiu shook his head and walked towards Shen Meihuan, “Just take it as after-sales service. Please close your eyes.”
“What… What are you going to do?” Shen Meihuan suddenly backed in a panic.
And now Miss Black Water suddenly walked in front of Shen Meihuan— her lips became as dark as ink, her two sharp slender teeth stuck out and her tattoos appeared on her cheeks.
“Don’t get close to her!”
“I mean no harm.” Luo Qiu shook his head.
“I’ll say again. Don’t get close to her.” Miss Black Water sternly said.
“Take it easy. You are not as powerful as Long Xiruo…”
Hearing the name of Long Xiruo, Miss Black Water suddenly felt dizzy and fear. “Did he have any contact with her?”
When she came to herself, the club boss had already walked her through. Shen Meihuan suddenly knelt on the ground. She was stunned by Luo Qiu’s gentle touch on her forehead.
“What? Jiahui… He is… Jiahui?” Shen Meihuan lifted her head, “You… deceived me!”
Luo Qiu lightly said, “Dear customer, I have reminded you… And you agreed.”
“You didn’t tell me he wasn’t Jiajie! You lied to me!!”
“Mrs. Shen.” Luo Qiu’s voice became louder, “What you want was to resurrect your son, right? And… isn’t he your son?”
Luo Qiu shook his head and took it lightly, “Were you not willing just because he was Liu Jiahui instead of Gu Jiajie?”
“I…” She was stunned—Jiahui was also her son. But if she knew the son was Liu Jiahui before, would she make the same decision?
She wasn’t sure.
Years had passed. Since she desperately left the town the summer on 2003, she deeply knew it was better to pay all attention to Gu Jiajie rather than regretting not to take Liu Jiahui with her.
So for her only son Gu Jiajie, she divorced and remarried, but was still willing to pay everything she owned.
However, for the other son… She couldn’t help but hesitate.
Would she do the same?
…
When Shen Meihuan looked up at the clumsy and rotten body, she was suddenly scared.
She had held him…But now her stretched-out hand was quickly pulled back.
Her son came to her with the hammer in hand, seemingly to invite Shen Meihuan to play with him.
“Don’t…” She lightly said this with fear and confusion or even instinct.
No sooner had she spoke this word did she feel sorry…
However, she couldn’t take it back… because he heard this.
Finally, he, who had never opened his mouth before, let out a sound.
“Arghh—” filled with grief and misery.
In this moment, all the ugliness was fully shown by him.
He dropped the hammer to the ground all of a sudden.
The first time, was because he didn’t know how to hold it… but this time was because he threw it himself.
Then he painfully scratched his face, kneeling down on the floor, crazily striking his head, again and again.
He seemed to want to smash everything in front of Shen Meihuan.
How come? And why?
All abnormal changes on Miss Black Water’s face disappeared, but what surprised her were the tears that fell down her cheeks.
It was the echo of the soul.
As Luo Qiu said, she heard it!
“I heard… I heard the soul crying.” She murmured.
She looked at Luo Qiu with shock, “He… really has thought…and new soul… It’s impossible… No…”
After she glanced at the crazy corpse, “A new soul is born in the shared memory of his mother and him… That’s because of his desire for love! And it is what you want to see!”
“What a pity.” Luo Qiu shook his head with a hint of disappointment, “It will die.”
Miss Black Water fearfully took a step back, and dared not to look at this young man, even though Luo Qiu didn’t show any anger or dissatisfaction.
Perhaps he just wanted to enjoy the moment that a new soul was born.
“If… If I didn’t bring her here… Would his missing soul and spirit reunite and really resurrect him?”
He was waiting for this result… But she brought Shen Meihuan here…
At this instant, Miss Black Water felt that she had done something wrong.
