    Autumn in City B is a very dry season. A rain at the end of November brought a significant drop in temperature. This rain was not heavy but lingered all day long. When night came, the whole city  Still shrouded in rain and fog, the rain reduced visibility, and the street lamps seemed to have lost their former glory, giving people a gray feeling around.

    The fine raindrops fell on the roof of the car and made a "crackling" sound. After listening to the coherent and monotonous sound for a long time, it will make people feel lonely and irritable from the bottom of their hearts. Lin Pei in the car finally pushed the door and got out of the car.  The thick water vapor, the cold and damp air permeated by the breeze eroded the skin from the gaps in the clothes.

    "This will be the last rain this year." Lin Pei thought as he stood in front of the Lin family's gate.

    The prominent Lin family is located in a special location in City B. Ordinary people cannot get close to it. Entering from the outer courtyard has to go through a series of checkpoints and several inspections. This is where the highest class in China is located.  mysterious place.

    There is a courtyard outside the Lin family, which is actually not too dazzling from the outside. The old walls and old trees all have such a simple meaning. Only those who know the truth will understand the heavy power deposited inside.  In front of the carved iron gate, he stared inside for a long time without moving.  He came to the Lin family when he was ten years old, moved out at the age of nineteen, and lived here for a full ten years. This place was a quagmire for him, and his only perception in it was sticky, dirty, and suffocating.

    After staring for a long time, Lin Pei suddenly looked up at the dark sky. The dim street lamps shone on his face. From a height, his face showed a close-up, young and delicate face, pale and fragile, dark  His pupils reflected a little bit of fluorescent light.

    The weather was already very cold, he exhaled a long breath, and a string of white mist was blown into the air before it could condense.  There was a suffocating feeling of being suppressed, and no matter how powerful he made himself after all these years, it never went away, and it was even more so today.

    Lin Pei lowered his head and took a few steady breaths. After finally hiding his emotions, he stretched out his right hand and pressed the fingerprint lock next to him, and the door opened in response.

    The inside of the gate should have been green and lush, but it was bleak in the late autumn rain. The roses in the corner of the flower garden were knocked down by the rain, and shivered with bare branches in the cold wind.

    There is a long corridor on the only way leading to the small building. The mistress of the Lin family considers herself to be an elegant person, and she has planted all kinds of flowers and green plants in this small yard.  She has carefully taken care of it, but I don't know what is planted next to it. When the weather is hot, the corridor is covered with vines, and there is a kind of white flower in the middle of the vines. This kind of flower has a strong fragrance. Lin Pei  Every time I pass by here and smell this smell, I will feel nauseated and roll in my heart.

    In this season, the vines have long since withered, and the lights projected from the house are divided into pieces of light and shadow by the columns of the corridor.  Lin Pei walked over, a camel-colored overcoat cinched close to his waist, making his figure even more slender and upright, he walked very slowly, his figure appeared and disappeared in the alternating light and shadow, he was very thin, and his face was strange  Too normal pale, looks a little thin and fragile from the side, but his back is always straight, his steps are slow and firm, every time his figure appears in the light and shadow, the expression on his face becomes firmer and colder, until finally  Standing in front of the gate for a while, his face freezes into a cold mask.

    There was a nanny who came to open the door long ago. After entering the door, Lin Pei took off his half-wet coat and handed it to the nanny at the side, and walked in without any unnecessary movements.

    The porch at the door is connected to the living room, and there is the sound of TV in the living room. Lin Pei stepped on the monotonous and empty voice of the announcer and walked into the hall. This is a large space, and the furnishings inside are not luxurious.  In Lin Pei's view, this kind of atmosphere is also superficial, that is, everything is big, such as a huge rear-projection TV, a huge sectional sofa, a huge four-edged and octagonal coffee table, and a large piece of glazed floor tiles reflecting cold luster.

    There are two people in the living room. The woman is sitting on the main seat of the sofa and watching the TV as if she is watching a monograph. The man is holding the newspaper in his hand and sitting on the single sofa beside him, and seems to be concentrating on it.  It's not too young, but it looks like it's in its early forties when it's well maintained.

    Lin Pei walked into the living room and stood behind them. No one paid attention to him. Since he walked in, the two people didn't even give him a look. From Lin Pei's perspective, he only saw one side of the man.  There was a cigarette in the hand of the newspaper, and his face was hidden behind the smoke, which was not very clear.

    In Lin Pei's impression, this man is soRaising his hand: "Go." Lin Pei lowered his head slightly, turned around slowly and walked out, gently closing the door behind him.  The old man inside the door kept watching Lin Pei's back disappear before his eyes, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes the moment the door closed.  It was not the face of an old man, without the peace and warmth of old age, and the cold and vicious eyes made his face a bit ferociously distorted.

    Lin Pei came downstairs, and the living room was almost the same as when he came in. The difference was that there was an extra Lin Xiangnan, and no one paid attention to him, and he didn't say hello to anyone.  No one can make him bow his knees, bend his back and be a humble man anymore.

    Lin Pei, who hurried out of the hall, took the coat from the nanny and put it on, buttoned every button calmly, and then walked into the rain and fog outside the house without looking back.

    Walking out of the Lin family's courtyard, Lin Pei habitually raised his head to look at the sky above his head. The darkness above his head was as dark as splashed ink, and it was so dark that it pressed down on the sky above the city. That kind of gloom was like the sky covered by the Lin family.  light and hope.  Behind him is a filthy quagmire. He has eroded and rolled in it for many years, and now his whole body is filthy from the inside to the outside.  This is what he wants to do to accumulate strength. His life is hopeless. Even if he loses his life because of this in the end, it will be a kind of relief for him. Ever since he had this thought, he has  Come here once, and this idea in your heart will be firm.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
