Unveiling the Past

"Huh? What's the matter? " Mo Fei's voice sounded at the door. "Is the director uncomfortable?" Hazily, Shi Yuelun seemed to hear Li Yuanming explain something angrily in her crisp voice. Then, Mo Fei and Xiumei joined the discussion in angry voices. Finally, even Fan Xueyao joined the dialogue, and a group of people surrounded her and comforted her noisily. "Director, don't be afraid!" Xiumei said with indignation: "Someone must be jealous of your talent, so they use this kind of inferior means to attack you!" "I... I'm not afraid..." Shi Yuelun said weakly, reluctantly squeezing out a smile. That's right! The past has passed, so she doesn't need to connect the past with the present. "I was just a little scared. It really doesn't matter." "We should call the police!" Mo Fei said excitedly, "What? This kind of person should be caught in prison and repaired well, and see if he dares to do such boring tricks again! " "If it's just a prank, the police won't take care of it. I'm afraid it won't be useful to call the police." Fan Xueyao is the calmest one among all the people. "Is that all the things in the envelope? Not even a piece of paper, not a word? " Li Yuanming checked the envelope from the inside to the outside, and even picked up the two ghost papers and looked at them in detail. "Nothing." She said discouraged: "There is no intimidation, no abuse or threats, and of course there will be no signature." "Yuelun, who may have sent this kind of thing to you? Do you have any idea yourself?" Fan Xueyao asked, "Who do you know is jealous and resentful of you?" Shi Yuelun's face was pale, and Li Yuanming quickly hugged her comfortably. "Xueyao, don't ask. Senior must be very uncomfortable now. Let her have a rest first." She looked at Shi Yuelun with concern. "Senior, would you like to have a rest tonight and stop rehearsing?" "No!" She said firmly, "Rehearsal can help me forget these unpleasant things. Besides, it is too unhealthy to hide in the quilt and tremble for this little thing!" It was this determination that kept her through this evening's rehearsal, and as a result, she almost really forgot the bad letter. However, it is only "almost". In a deep corner of her heart, darkness and fear lingered like ghosts, dimly devouring her energy. By the end of the rehearsal, Shi Yuelun's face was as pale as white paper. Her usual smile has disappeared after the play, and everyone cares about her. Fan Xueyao even brought her a large cup of ginseng tea. Shi Yuelun stared at him in astonishment. "My aunt gave it to you." Fan Xueyao simply said: "Drink it all. I will send you home after drinking it." Shi Yuelun gave him a grateful look and sipped hot ginseng tea with her head down. I don't know if it's psychological. After drinking some ginseng tea, she really feels much better. Moreover, knowing that a bruiser like Fan Xueyao is going to escort her home really makes her feel much more stable. Li Yuanming couldn't help worrying about her senior, so she got on the bus and accompanied them on the road. She originally wanted to talk nonsense and distract everyone's mind, but because everyone's heart was heavy, she couldn't go on without a few words. Three people arrived at Shi Yuelun's residence in silence. She opened the door and got out of the car. "Thank you for sending me back." Her smile is a little reluctant and a little depressed. "I'm sorry to bother you like this." "It doesn’t matter!" Fan Xueyao parked his car on the side of the road and got out of the car. Although there are street lamps in the alley, the brightness is not enough, and it is very late, which makes people feel uneasy. Besides, he found a black shadow approaching them at the other end of the alley. Almost at the same time, Shi Yuelun also found the shadow. She instinctively regressed a few steps, and Fan Xueyao immediately blocked her in front to protect her. "Don't be afraid, it's me!" Standing in front of them, Tang Siya said with some doubts: "What's going on? Yuelun, can't you recognize me without my dog? Hi! Xueyao and Yuanming, you are there! " "you are in the backlight!" Shi Yuelun was too tight and her whole body was weak, and her heart jumped rapidly because of his fright. "Why do you come out jogging so late?" Of course, he would not tell her that he had come out at the right time and wanted to try to see if he could meet her by chance. "There was an important meeting today, so I came home late. Why are you two so free today? And sent Yuelun back? " "Do you live around here?" Li Yuanming looked at Tang Siya curiously, and an idea quickly took shape in her heart- There must be something going on between this Tang Siya and her senior. She dared to bet all her possessions. "I live in this alley and am a neighbor with Yuelun." Tang Siya's answer satisfied Li Yuanming. "That's great! Knowing that the senior has a friend who lives so close, we can finally relax. " Li Yuanming said very happy, Shi Yuelun called her on the side, and she also regarded it as not seeing it. "I'm telling you! Tang Siya, my senior received a very bad anonymous letter today. There was nothing in the envelope except two pieces of ghost paper. " "What!?” Tang Siya stared in shock. "Which bastard made this low-level joke?" Oh, my God! Li Yuanming failed to keep the secret, why not just go to the newspaper! ? Shi Yuelun secretly complained in her heart, the last thing she needs now is to pull irrelevant outsiders into this chaos. What does this girl think she is doing? However, her over-protective junior, no matter what she thinks, told Tang Siya what happened today in detail: "So! When this happens, how can we rest assured that our senior will go home alone? Although the letter may really be just a prank, but... " "But we can't risk it." Tang Siya's expression is very serious and concerned, saying: " take every care just in case." "Do you have any good ideas?" Li Yuanming looked at Tang Siya with trust, as if he had completely entrusted him with the great responsibility of protecting Shi Yuelun. "Yuan Ming, this matter has nothing to do with Tang Siya." Shi Yuelun was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet. She said in the severest tone: "This is just a boring prank. Don't be so laborious, OK?" "Who says it has nothing to do with me? What happened to Yuelun is my business! " Tang Siya is eager to hide her well, for fear that she will be hurt. Shi Yuelun stared at him. Really, she almost forgot his strong sense of justice! When they were strangers, he would have cared; After becoming friends, it is certainly impossible for him to turn a blind eye to her affairs. "Whether this matter is a prank or not will have to be observed for a while. If it is just a simple prank, there should be no following; If not … " Shi Yuelun couldn't help shivering. Li Yuanming quickly held her hand, but the two men didn't notice Shi Yuelun's reaction-their thoughts were all occupied by the possible development of things. "If it weren't for a prank, it would be serious." Fan Xueyao said slowly. "Xueyao!" Li Yuanming shouted hastily, feeling that her husband sometimes has no nerve to be angry. How can such a dialogue be said in front of Shi Yuelun? "What?" Fan Xueyao is a silly big man and silly wait for a while couldn't understand it. On the contrary, Tang Siya understood it first and beat Fan Xueyao's arm quietly. "I said Fan Xueyao, do you watch too many dramas and stress dramatic effects in everything? A small letter can make you break up a whole set of spy stories. I think you should change your career as a screenwriter! " Tang Siya said, taking Fan Xueyao's hand and deliberately pulling him away. He leaned against Fan Xueyao's ear and whispered, "Don't say this in front of Yue Lun, just pay more attention to her. I think if that person is really playing cat and mouse, he may not take action in the short term. Do you have a pen and paper? " Fan Xueyao took out a notepad and a pen from his chest pocket. After receiving the paper and pen handed by Fan Xueyao, Tang Siya copied down the telephone numbers of his home and office and handed them back to him. "If there is any further development, would you please let me know?" Shi Yuelun looked at the two men whispering under the street lamp, and at that time she didn't know whether to cry or laugh! She had always been independent and confident, but the damn anonymous letter made her a weak, passive and powerless woman who had to rely on men who were bigger and more muscular than her to protect her. This idea made her vomit! Tang Siya and Fan Xueyao at the other end of the street lamp, obviously reaching some kind of agreement, came up to them side by side. "Then we will go back first." Fan Xueyao hugged Li Yuanming's waist and said, "Yuelun, go to bed early, don't think too much, you know? It will be all right. " Shi Yuelun nodded wordlessly, and she saw the newly married couple into the car, turning around and leaving the alley. "I'll send you up." Tang Siya patted her shoulder and said in an unassailable tone. Unexpectedly, Shi Yuelun's temper suddenly broke out. "I told you it was just a boring prank. Please don't make such a fuss, will you?" She shouted angrily, "I'm not an incapacitated baby. Can't I take care of myself? I received the anonymous letter before, and it's good yet... " She alarmed that she was in a rage, revealing secrets that no one had ever known, and she closed her lips in shock, turned to open the apartment door, and her hand holding the key trembled unconsciously. "Yuelun..." Tang Siya tried her best to appease her, but only in exchange for her angry glance. "You stay away from me! Plz leave me alone? I've had enough of you men! Arrogant, overbearing, self-righteous, excessive desire for protection... "Shi Yuelun said, while walking into the iron gate of the apartment, she slammed the door. Tang Siya dazed for a moment, slowly turned around and walked in the direction of his home. She said she had received such anonymous letters before... How long ago was the so-called before? What kind of anonymous letter did she receive? Does that experience have any connection with her reaction today? Tang Siya shook his head. It is useless to make such conjectures out of air, after all, the information he knows at present is too limited. Maybe after a while, she will be willing to tell him more, and she will know that he is a trustworthy person. Everything... wait until she has had enough rest! Shi Yuelun rushed up the stairs in three steps and two steps, her heart beating wildly because of the rush, and her hands and feet trembling because of excitement. When she entered the house, she locked herself into the room, sat in the corner of the bed, and huddled herself tightly, afraid, panicked and at a loss. "Oh..." She groaned feebly, curling herself more tightly. What a shame! Shi Yuelun says to herself, ‘just a dirty letter, actually brought back all the past you have experienced, and made you cry for your mother like a little girl who fell below your knees!’ You boast that you are a strong and independent modern woman! In fact, you never really got rid of that nightmare! Tang Siya is also kind, but he has been an innocent punching bag! Shi Yuelun gave a wry smile, got up hard and walked to the window to open the curtains. There was nothing outside the window except the lights of nearby houses. The purring of her stomach reminded her that it was time to eat, but she had no desire to eat, not even a little. Is it really just last night that she ate night snack and chatted and laughed with Tang Siya? At that time, she once believed that she could start looking for a little happiness for herself... However, happiness can't stand the test so much! An anonymous letter evokes her fear of love and self-denial in memory! Shi Yuelun bit his lower lip, held his hand into a fist, and firmly pressed it against the glass window. Wait for tomorrow! She said to herself. Tomorrow, she will find her courage, and tomorrow, she will begin to rebuild her confidence. She refused to be defeated by such fears, and she refused to be bound by such cages. She just... needs a little time! It's just... What if Tang Siya has been scared away by her? Shi Yuelun sighed for a long time and looked blankly at the dark distance. She lived a calm life for a whole week. The rehearsal process went on smoothly, and the anonymous letter never appeared again, while Tang Siya seemed to disappear in the air. He was driven away by her after all! Shi Yuelun thought wryly, feeling a sorrow if there is nothing. She used a faint wry smile to shake away this depressed mood and told herself that there are always gains and losses in life. After all, her present life has been restored to the same calm and full as before... Unfortunately, this calm was only a short-term illusion. Just when the two ghost papers were gradually forgotten, the second anonymous letter appeared quietly, on the eleventh day after the first letter appeared. The first person to see the envelope was Li Yuanming. Her first reaction was to throw the letter into the trash can, but after considering it, she gave up the idea. Don't say that she has no right to deal with Shi Yuelun's letter. If this is a malicious letter, she should not hide it from Shi Yuelun. She doesn't want Shi Yuelun to be in false security and have no defense against possible dangers. Fan Xueyao agreed with her concern. After discussion, the two decided to wait for Yue Lun to give her the letter after rehearsal tonight. Time flowed quietly in the rehearsal. Finally, a group of people finished the rehearsal. After Mo Fei and Xiumei left one after another, Fan Xueyao and Li Yuanming handed her the envelope with difficulty. Only glancing at the envelope, Shi Yuelun's face suddenly turned pale. In fact, without opening the envelope, she can be sure that this is definitely another anonymous letter, and what is even more terrible is- The man who sent the anonymous letter was obviously not playing a prank! "Senior..." Li Yuanming opened his mouth anxiously: "If... if you feel very sad to read this letter, let me open it for you?" Li Yuanming's thoughtfulness made Shi Yuelun show a gentle smile, although the smile lasted only one second. "Yuanming, thank you, I'd better do it myself, I can stand it." In fact, there is only a simple sentence in that letter, but this sentence is enough to make Shi Yuelun's face turn to ashes- I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Shi Yuelun bit his lower lip tightly. Jesus Christ! Will this nightmare never end? When she left Taiwan four years ago, she thought she had left the past behind forever, and comforted herself on the eve of returning home. All the grievances and enmities had been forgotten, unexpected... unexpected... Suddenly, a gentle and thick palm took her shoulder, and the other hand took the letter paper from her weak hand. Shi Yuelun didn't resist. She knew what her friends would ask when they read the letter. She also found that she didn't want to hide it anymore. Many years ago, when she was tortured by this kind of letter for the first time, she chose silence and appeasement... One reason was that she was going abroad soon, and she naively thought that things would naturally be forgotten after going abroad; Another reason was that in her young and confused mind, she thought that she might really take some responsibility for "that thing", and she also held a certain degree of understanding and sympathy for the person who wrote the letter and threatened... At the moment, these reasons have ceased to exist! Obviously, more than four years have not made Yu Qingjia get the slightest relief, and may even strengthen their resentment and determination to retaliate, but this time, she has no place to escape again, and she also... doesn't want to escape! Shi Yuelun took a deep breath, then slowly raised his head and accidentally looked into Tang Siya's eyes. "You..." Shi Yuelun had a moment of absence, "how do you..." It was not until this time that she discovered that the hand that had been placed on her shoulder belonged to Tang Siya. "Fan Xueyu called me." At that time, he was negotiating a large business involving more than one billion yuan with his customers. When he received a phone call from Fan Xueyao, he didn't even consider it. After apologizing, he left his customers and ran away from the office. Tang Siya's answer is very simple, but for Shi Yuelun's flustered heart, it has a miraculous soothing effect. Impulsive, she reached out and laid her hand gently on his arm. "I'm sorry!" With tears in her eyes, she said softly, "Thank you, too! I'm really happy to see you. " Tang Siya's hand on her shoulder increased its strength, and then let go gently. His warm eyes lingered on her face for a long time before he lowered his head and examined the paper in the hand. "There is no clue to the words typed by the computer." He said thoughtfully: "In a short sentence, there is no bloody threat, and the evidence is too weak to call the police. But... "He looked at Shi Yuelun carefully. "You... do you know who sent you this kind of thing?" Shi Yuelun Zheng, then sighed, "Yes, I know who it is." She said in a low voice, staring at her tightly twisted hands, not knowing how to explain this entanglement in the simplest way. There was silence in the room, only to hear the faint sound of breathing, as if after a century, Shi Yuelun laboriously opened her mouth: "I used to … have a boyfriend, and then … because … because of personality … disagreement, I … broke up." Shi Yuelun's narrative is too brief and his expression is too dull. Everyone instinctively realizes that things are definitely not that simple, but they all choose not to speak tacitly, just keep their temper and continue to wait for the answer. After a long time, Shi Yuelun's voice sounded again- "In the summer vacation of my junior year, he graduated and was distributed to serve after graduation." Having said that, Shi Yuelun's expression was stiff and her tone was a meal. No matter how much she tried to hide her emotions, everyone saw a sharp pain across her face. "Three months after he arrived the place, the troops sent back news, he... he..." Shi Yuelun's voice was almost hard to hear because of choking. "He passed away!" "Oh, my god!" Li Yuanming let out a low shout and rushed forward to hold Shi Yuelun's cold hands. "You must be very sad, right?" How can you not be sad? After all, she once loved him like that! Although their breakup is the result of her rational deliberation, it will take a long time for the feelings she has paid to dilute. "It's... it's okay." She reluctantly squeezed out a wry smile. "After all, I broke up with him at that time. Although I was sad, his family was more sad than me, especially his brother..." "Hmm?" Tang Siya's ears immediately stood up. "His brother, who was two years younger than him, also happened to be in military service at that time. His younger brother admired him so much that after his death, his younger brother was so angry that he didn't believe the army's story of being killed in the line of duty at all. He insisted … that I had killed his brother! " "This kind of rhetoric is ridiculous!" Li Yuanming couldn't help but retort: "His brother died. What does it have to do with you?" Don Siya shook her head and asked, "So, his brother thinks he committed suicide because he was lovelorn?" Shi Yuelun's eyes are a little blank. "Some people say that it was an accident caused by a gun fire, while others say that he really committed suicide." She shivered slightly and continued to mutter to herself: "Suicide is not impossible, because he is a very neurotic person." "Even if he really committed suicide, it's none of your business!" Tang Siya angrily interrupted her words, with a strong sense of jealousy in his words. "Life is full of all kinds of frustrations. If one encounter a difficulty, he will die once, and human beings will probably be extinct long ago! "Taking suicide as an escape only proves what a coward he is and proves that you made the right decision to leave him!" Shi Yuelun looked at him in astonishment for a long time, and a grateful smile gradually appeared on her lips, which was the first real smile she showed after receiving this letter. "Thank you." She said softly, and the meaning behind these three words is very profound. She thanked him for the trust he had placed in her; To thank him for dispelling the guilt she had been saddled with for many years; And thank him … for his willingness to be her friend, help her, encourage her and appease her. The simple three words made Tang Siya's heart warm, and she couldn't say anything for a while, so she could only respond to her with a smile.
