Chapter 49: Departure
Night fell slowly.
The villa on the quiet road has long been plunged into darkness. Although the lights are on in the villa, the haze of the room cannot be dispelled. The hall is quiet, although the lights are bright, but it always makes people feel dark and terrible. Mr. Bai sat quietly on the sofa, the tea in front of him was cold and hot, hot and cold, and he did not know how many times.
There was no sound in the huge villa.
Mr. Bai was looking at the document intently, but his eyes would occasionally look at the clock hanging on the wall. When it was time, the sound of a car engine came from the door of the villa, and Mr. Bai's indifferent eyes finally got a bit of color. He put down the document, beckoned for someone to change the tea, and then he sat in an elegant posture and waited for Ren Yue to come back.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... Ten minutes passed, and Ren Yue's footsteps still did not sound. After a long while, someone beckoned the housekeeper to go over. After the housekeeper got Mr. Bai's approval, he went out and saw that the driver who was originally sent to take over Ren Yue came back alone.
The butler paused and asked, "Where's Young Master Ren?" The
driver opened his mouth, and he rubbed his hands with a look of panic and said, "He, he didn't come back..." The
butler frowned, and he scolded him seriously. With a sound, he asked: "Explain it clearly!"
"That's it," the driver was shocked, and then he didn't dare to continue, so he said the matter directly: "I want to drive to school as usual. I took over as the young master, and after I waited for a while, one of his classmates ran over and told me that his head teacher had a conversation with him, and he would come down later. So I continued to wait for about half an hour, when the young master Ren came over and said no Go back, let me come back by myself..." The
butler frowned and asked, "That's all you know? Guarantee you didn't hide it?" The
driver shook his head desperately, and he said in a panic, "How dare I hide it? That's Mr. Bai. Ah, if I try to hide it, I might die..."
The butler's brows still didn't loosen, but before he could continue to ask anything, Mr. Bai was already standing beside him. Mr. Bai's face was pale, and he couldn't tell if he was angry.
"Was there anyone else beside Ren Yue at that time?" Mr. Bai asked lightly.
"No."
"Lin He isn't here?"
"I saw him leaving first."
"..."
Mr. Bai closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the housekeeper and the driver. Said: "Let's go." The
driver panicked, and he desperately remembered whether he had forgotten anything. He quickly ran his brain, thinking desperately, and finally thought of something. "I remember that there seemed to be a woman beside Mr. Ren at that time!" The driver said quickly, "A middle-aged woman, with long white hair and an oval face, she looked very gentle... She was wearing a goose-yellow plain skirt and stepped on a pair of Flat shoes." The
butler thought for a while, then he said to Mr. Bai, "Sir, according to analysis, it should be Young Master Ren's mother." The
driver didn't understand the situation, so he nodded sharply.
"What else did Young Master Ren say?" the butler asked.
The driver glanced timidly at Mr. Bai who was standing beside him, and then he mustered up the courage to say the last sentence of Ren Yue: "Master Ren said 'don't look for him'." After speaking, he looked straight at him. Mr. Bai, the fear in his heart was magnified a little bit, making him wirelessly regret why he said this.
Mr. Bai nodded, and then said again: "You can leave." The
butler and driver then withdrew.
It's just that the driver still felt a little uneasy. His task was to pick up Ren Yue on time every day. He couldn't pick him up successfully at the moment. He always felt as if he had screwed up his work. At that time, he should have obeyed Mr. Bai's instructions, ignored Ren Yue's words, and brought the person back directly... It's just that the driver remembered Ren Yue's expression at that time, and he couldn't do anything. Moreover, in Mr. Bai's order, there was no requirement to take Ren Yue home in a tough way.
The driver looked at the housekeeper anxiously and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
"No." The housekeeper replied indifferently, "You did a good job."
"But I didn't bring back Young Master Ren, Mr. Bai It doesn't look good..." The driver said nervously, "Should I take a tougher approach and bring Master Ren back directly?"
"If you took that approach," the butler said. He looked at the driver lightly, and then said without any emotion, "You are now dead." The
driver was shocked.
After the driver and the housekeeper left, some people around also retreated. Mr. Bai was the only one left in the huge villa. He returned to the living room, then sat on the sofa and continued to read the documents like a hill on the coffee table. At this moment, Mr. Bai did not continue to pay attention to the clock hanging on the wall. Time seemed to have no attraction to him now.
rustling.
The sound of paper being flipped page by page.
The new tea on the coffee table was already cold for some time, and the heat that had been lingering in the sky had already dissipated, turning into the coldness of the room. The bronze-colored tea water sits in the white porcelain teacup, and gradually deepens over time, so deep that the bottom is invisible, as if it is full of bitterness.
rustling.
One document was picked up and the other was put down.
The slightly retro-style clocks on the wall are sneaking ticking, and the hour and minute hands are swaying slowly, not stopping for anyone. They can't feel the silence of this room, but try to create movement in this quiet space. The hour hand and the minute hand intersect with each other, and then slowly separate, marking a past and present.
When the short hour hand and the slender minute hand overlapped, Mr. Bai, who was sitting quietly on the sofa approving documents, remained silent and quiet as always, but his eyes trembled slightly. He seemed to notice the change of time, but it seemed that It was an ordinary wink.
No one could know how he was feeling at the moment.
rustling.
The pen stroked a signature on the paper, and pulled out a little melody in the lonely late night.
Mr. Bai was still in the living room, and the pile of documents like a hill gradually dwindled. When the last book was left, Mr. Bai seemed to be tired, he put down his pen, and then he left on the sofa. Mr. Bai, who had left his job, seemed to finally notice the cold tea on the coffee table. He took the teacup to the kitchen and brewed a new pot of tea himself.
Picking out the tea leaves, he looked carefully at the palm of his hand, and the dark green tea leaves were tightly curled up in the palm of his hand. Mr. Bai put these tightly wrapped tea leaves into the pot, and then poured the boiling water. The hot water rushed into the pot, and the smoke wrapped the hot air and hugged the tea leaves one by one, gradually infiltrating the whole group of tea leaves from the outside, and then melted a little bit, dissolving the originally cold, hard and fragile tea leaves. Soft and foamy.
Mr. Bai looked at the teapot lightly, his eyes were drenched in the hot mist, making people unable to feel the temperature of his eyes. I can only know that his eyes are very light, light as if there is nothing.
The tea was successfully brewed, and Mr. Bai enjoyed a hot cup of tea. He felt the hot tea moistened into his throat, nourishing his icy body, and making his somewhat stiff limbs stretch out. He slowly walked back to the living room, the hall was empty in the middle of the night, and there seemed to be an irresistible air-conditioning in the sky.
Mr. Bai started to read the document again.
The last document seemed to write about a very important project, and Mr. Bai read it slowly and carefully. It's just a document sitting there, no matter how slow it is, there will always be time to read it. Mr. Bai wrote and signed the last page of the document slowly, which means that an item has been approved, and it also means that his work is over.
The night should also be over.
The deep night was scattered by the light from nowhere, and the darkness of the night with no boundaries was pierced. The broken night struggled to stay in the air, reluctant to leave. As a result, the gradually dazzling light did not hesitate to swallow up the pieces of broken night, and sprinkle a little bit of light all over the world.
The night has passed.
Mr. Bai stared blankly at the bright sky outside the window. At this moment, the light suddenly pierced his eyes, making him feel empty.
He stood silently, and then he finally took off and walked outside.
There is a small garden in front of the villa. Mr. Bai looked at the beautiful flowers there, but he didn't have much emotion in his heart. Looking at the golden appearance outside, he always felt that it was not as comfortable as the original darkness.
How can the darkness be preserved?
What can be done to stop the spread of light?
... Mr.
Bai was brooding, and at this moment he suddenly had a feeling. He looked up, and saw a figure approaching in the distance, his body was covered with light, and the ends of his hair were stained with dew. He clearly walked leisurely and unrestrainedly, but Mr. Bai felt inexplicably that he was walking like a mess.
came back.
Ren Yue looked at Mr. Bai who was standing on the steps. He squinted and couldn't see Mr. Bai's expression hidden in the sun. He didn't care, he just smiled and said, "I'm back."
Then he said Being hugged tightly.
The slightly cool embrace made people feel warm, and the strength was so strong that he wanted to see him rubbed into flesh and blood, but it was just right not to make him feel uncomfortable. Ren Yue looked at Mr. Bai, who seemed to want to embed himself in him, and lowered his eyes with a rare softness. He said again: "I'm back."
