[R18] Willingly (1V1) – “Willingly (1V1)” 44. Redemption [English]

The first thing Lin Xi thought of was what Yu Xiucheng asked her that night, “Why didn’t you continue playing the piano?”

At that time, she thought Yu Xiucheng was standing on the shore and staring at the people soaking in the water. She had seen too many men like this since she started hanging out in sensual places, so she answered very nonchalantly, but now that she thinks about it, it’s not like that.

“Have you started paying attention to me since then?”

The name of the video is the date. Lin Xi glanced at the year number. It was the summer eight years ago that she could never forget.

“Yeah.”

Lin Xi has always been able to deal with everyone with ease, relying on his good acting skills to not be distracted by what he says. Seeing someone like this with his eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief on his face gives people a subtle sense of accomplishment.

“How did you recognize me?”

It can’t be her appearance. Lin Xi has changed a lot in the past eight years. After growing up, her whole temperament is different from before. Coupled with the makeup that Ye Tan requested at that time, Lin Xi doesn’t dare to say that she is the same person when she looks in the mirror as she used to participate in competitions.

Yu Xiucheng’s expression relaxed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to pinch her chin: “Voice.”

He has heard her voice so many times over the years that it has become so familiar that it has become part of his blood.

But even so, Yu Xiucheng was still not convinced at the time, because the human brain is the most deceptive thing in the world. Because of people’s persistence, it will cause their vision and hearing to deviate from reality, making it closer to their imagination.

Over the years, no one understands this feeling better than Yu Xiucheng.

When he was a child, his nightmare was the day his mother died. Whenever he dreamed about it at midnight, the smell of gunpowder smoke from the machine gun in the hands of the big man would fill Yu Xiucheng’s breath again. He could even hear the desperate sound of his mother’s neck bones being crushed in the dead silence, and the plea to him echoed over and over again in his ears.

“Don’t move! Baby, mom, please, don’t move. I have called the police. The police will come to rescue us soon!”

That kind of sound was so real that every time he woke up in a cold sweat in the dark, he felt like he was back in that small closet, and it was still dusk outside the window——

Fortunately, this time it’s not a trick of the brain.

Lin Xi’s hand was suddenly once again tightly grasped by the man. His thumb rubbed her palm over and over again, and the palm against the back of her hand was wet with sweat.

She gently held Yu Xiucheng’s hand and placed her palm firmly against his.

“Yu Xiucheng, what happened eight years ago, right?”

She looked straight into the man’s slightly undulating eyes, slipped her fingers between he’s fingers, and tightened.

“Yes.”

Eight years ago, Yu Xiucheng’s father, Yu Zhongtian, died in an explosion.

He died in the outcome that Yu Xiucheng had foreseen long ago – a plot by his subordinates.

Yu Zhongtian was extremely guarded against outsiders, but he always adopted the policy of employing people who were suspicious of others. At that time, there were several people under him whose ambitions were obvious, but no matter what Yu Xiucheng said, he could not shake his father’s absolute trust in those people.

The result was exactly as he expected. His father took a batch of goods to a foreign country and was buried there.

On the night when he received the news of his father’s death, Yu Xiucheng took his medicine on time, but he still fell ill.

At that time, he had the most severe symptoms since his diagnosis. He had constant hallucinations in front of his eyes. He could hardly control himself and smashed everything he could. Finally, he lay exhausted and panted in the mess.

The TV was smashed open by someone who didn’t know what he was doing, and the screen was still brightly lit after half the time.However, Yu Xiucheng couldn’t muster any energy in his body to completely smash it. He could only breathe heavily while listening to the host on TV introduce the local international piano competition in a leisurely and elegant tone.

Although Yu Zhongtian was an arms dealer who was in and out of the hail of bullets all day long, he was influenced by his wife to like classical music. He often told Yu Xiucheng that the memories brought by music are the most lasting.

At that time, Yu Xiucheng was lying on the ground listening to one familiar piece of music after another. He understood that when his father said those words, he must have recalled something through the music, just like he at this time.

He’s emotions gradually calmed down during the piano music, and he caught a glimpse of the girl’s white skirt on the screen.

The dust-free whiteness made the brightness of the entire half-broken screen a notch higher than before, but Yu Xiucheng no longer felt it was dazzling. He struggled to get up from the ground, his arms and palms had been scratched with blood from the fragments of glass, and with every staggering step, there would be a string of blood spots on the ground.

But he didn’t feel any pain at all, and his eyes were fixed on the screen as the girl finished her performance and ran towards the audience.

he saw the girl being stopped by the media, but she muttered a bunch of things that didn’t answer the question, and then when she was stopped again, she spoke as if she suddenly realized:

“Oh, oh yes, hello everyone, my name is Lin Xi, I hope you like my playing, bye!”

Linxi.

From that day on, this name was burned into Yu Xiucheng’s heart like some kind of salvation.
