Chapter 164: The Man Who Shouldn't Be Present
The tentacles of the garage door were a thick layer of dust, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.
Soho choked on the dust and coughed violently as she covered her mouth.
Luo Jichen saw that he immediately pulled her down behind him, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." She shook her head, and was about to step forward to open the garage door again.
"I'll come, stay away." Luo Jichen stopped her and walked to the garage door by herself.
When Soho was a little farther away, he pushed the door open.
Looking at the puff of dust raised by the door, a smell of decay and mold came into the nostrils of the two of them. After waiting for a while, the dust slowly fell.
Soho couldn't tell what mood he was feeling at the moment.
For so many years, no one has been here, and she should be glad that her mother's things are still intact and no one has touched them.
But this also shows that over the years, her father has never thought of her mother, and he is not even willing to take a second look at her mother's relics. From the bottom of her heart, she felt sad and unworthy for her mother.
"Wait until tomorrow when the wedding is over, have someone clean it up, and then go in and get something." Luo Jichen couldn't help frowning when he looked at the darkness inside, cold and damp.
Soho's health has finally improved, and if he suffers from the cold here and the old illness returns, then he will blame himself to death.
But Soho's attitude was very resolute, shook his head, looked at a corner of the garage and replied, "I have already seen the box containing my mother's things, go in and get it and come out." You can wait for me right here. ”
Before he could react, he broke free of his hand and walked in.
How could Luo Jichen let her go in alone, she hurriedly chased in, took off her coat and draped it over her.
As soon as Soho stepped into the garage, she shivered with cold.
When he was about to grit his teeth and continue to walk inside, he suddenly felt a sinking on his shoulders, and a warmth rose from his back, enveloping him at once, and it seemed that the cold was lowered outside.
When I looked back, I saw Luo Jichen smiling at her, "I'll accompany you." ”
Soho's heart warmed.
I don't know if it's the coat or the psychology, or both. In short, she feels warm now.
With Luo Jichen's company, she was originally a little timid, but settled down.
It turns out that in the dark, the feeling of having someone to accompany you is so beautiful!
The corners of her lips unconsciously hooked up and she walked towards the corner.
If I remember correctly, there was a cardboard box with some things that my mother used to use during her lifetime, which I had packed one by one back then.
As she walked, she kicked something at her feet, like a boxy cardboard box.
Soho immediately crouched down, reaching out to grope for it.
"Wait a minute." Luo Jichen grabbed her, took out her mobile phone, turned on the flashlight function, and said with a smile: "I was in a hurry just now, and I forgot that my mobile phone can illuminate." Don't touch it with your hands, no one has been here for so long, be careful of insects. ”
After his reminder, Soho also took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight.
Although the brightness of the phone's flashlight seems insignificant in this gloomy garage, the two phones together can also illuminate a large space.
Looking in the direction of the light, Soho saw that what he had just kicked was indeed the cardboard box.
It was tightly sealed, and a bow was delicately pinned.
When her mother was alive, she liked to pin a bow hair ornament on her head, saying that this was the most famous jewelry for her.
Gently brushing the dust off it, Soho lifted the cardboard box and held it in his hand, ready to leave the garage with Luo Jichen.
Unexpectedly, the bottom of the carton has been fragile and rotten because of perennial moisture. As soon as she lifted it, the bottom of the cardboard box couldn't stand it, and it cracked all at once, and the contents fell out one after another and scattered all over the ground.
"You wait for me outside for a while, and I'll go get a new box."
Luo Jichen saw her squatting on the ground in panic, nervously cleaning up, for fear of breaking something, and wanted to take her out first.
"Then you can go quickly." Soho didn't raise his head and urged.
With the movement of his hands, he picked up the things on the ground one by one, wiped them clean with his sleeves and put them back in the torn cardboard box.
Seeing her like this, Luo Jichen knew that she wouldn't be able to listen to anything she said now. Leaving her phone to illuminate, she strode out.
He walked very fast, and within two minutes he was back at the villa, found a sturdy cardboard box, turned around and couldn't wait to go back to Soho.
Just as he walked out of the villa, a figure suddenly flashed past.
The figure disappeared in the opposite direction to the garage.
Luo Jichen hesitated, put the carton at the door, and chased after it.
Because when he saw the back of that man, it seemed to be a little familiar, a person who would never appear here at this time!
……
Soho picked up everything on the ground and returned it to the box, and checked it several times to make sure that nothing was missing before getting up.
Only then did I notice that Luo Jichen seemed to have been gone for a while and had not come back yet.
I was about to call him, but I saw his mobile phone put aside, turned on the flashlight, and lit it for myself.
She turned the carton upside down, turned the side with a big hole in the bottom side up, gently checked it, and seemed to have no problem, and walked out of the garage with it.
came out and looked around, but didn't see Luo Jichen's figure.
Soho wondered.
She remembered that there were several cardboard boxes in the villa, and it was only a few minutes away from each other, why did she go for so long and not come back?
I waited at the door of the garage for a while, but there was still no one.
She had to close the garage door, and she decided to move the box back by herself to see what Luo Jichen was doing.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a voice speaking from the side.
Soho was stunned for a moment, listened attentively, and sure enough, someone was talking.
She crept over to the source of the sound, and saw two men standing in the shadow of the side wall of the garage, which was hard to spot without looking closely.
"You're crazy, what are you doing here, what if you find out?" A man's voice rang out.
The voice was low and muffled, obviously emotional, but he tried to keep the volume under control.
But Soho still heard it, it was Luo Jichen's voice.
Who was he talking to?
She was curious. Without making a sound, the cat leaned over and quietly got closer, and heard the conversation between the two more clearly.
"I don't want to, but I can't help myself." A woman's voice replied, with infinite tenderness and grievance, "I miss you so much, Brother Jichen." ”
Hearing this voice, Soho's whole body froze in place.
This is Chen Xi's voice, how could she be here!?
