Chapter 4 The Promise of the Past

After a few days of recuperation, Fu Huaiyi had recovered from his injuries and was about to say goodbye to the main house, and slowly walked through the corridors planted with colorful autumn chrysanthemums on both sides of the main courtyard, and saw Master Lu and the two Miss Lu sitting around the table in the living room.

The crystal lamp reflects the hall as bright as day, and the kind old man, the woman who is as bright as the moon, and the ignorant girl smile and smile under the light.

Chengyu seemed to say something that provoked Lu Chengxue to pinch her pink cheeks with a smile, and Fu Huaiyi felt that the night breeze at this moment carried an unusually warm heart.

The father and daughter of the Lu family were eating when they heard someone coughing at the door, and when they looked up, they saw a man standing with his hands down, his eyes like snow and his expression faint.

"Uncle, Cousin Snow, Cousin Rain. Fu Huaiyi said gently and politely.

Cheng Xue blinked inexplicably, and only remembered for a while that this was the man who trespassed into their house a few days ago.

Because of his unknown origin and Zhongcang injury, she didn't want to have a deep friendship with him, so she deliberately didn't go to see him in the past few days, just hoping that he would leave as soon as his injury was healed, so as not to bring any unwarranted disasters to the Lu family.

This will see this person calling his cousin with a familiar face, like swallowing a mouse and trying to vomit but can't spit it out.

But she could only put down her chopsticks and said falsely politely: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a few days, but the injury is healed?"

"Thank you cousin for taking care of me, my cousin's doctor is very skilled, and my injuries have healed. ”

Fu Huaiyi heard that there was a sense of expulsion in her words, and it happened that he had made an appointment with Zhao Ling today, so he drove him away in the evening, and then continued: "I haven't returned for many days, my father misses me very much, and he has moved the steward to take me home, and I have recovered, so I will leave tonight." I came to say goodbye to my uncle, Cousin Snow, and Cousin Rain. ”

During his stay at the Lu family, he learned that Lu Chengxue's mother's surname was Lin, and since he was her "cousin", he was naturally named "Lin Yi".

Cheng Xue was noncommittal about his words, and was neither interested in his real name nor wanted to ask about him, just thinking that he was "Lin Yi".

Chengyu didn't understand her sister's mind at all, but she felt that after this cousin came, someone in the family could finally listen to her patiently and tell her stories, although they were all bloody battlefield stories, but they were also more interesting than usual.

Cheng Yu reluctantly opened his mouth to stay: "Cousin Yi, you can stay for a few more days, you haven't gone shopping in Nanjing, wait for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, my sister and I will take you to Nanjing before leaving." ”

"Cousin Yu, my father has already sent someone to pick you up, I can't delay any longer, but you can ask your uncle to take you to my house to play in the future. ”

Although he said this, he was secretly sorry in his heart, in order to cover up his deeds, he said to the people of the Lu family that his home address and name were not true.

Cheng Xue didn't want to entangle with him too much, but she didn't want to save his life in vain, so she reminded: "That's it, then it's not good for us to force my cousin to stay, but cousin don't forget, ask someone to bring me the gift that my uncle promised to give me." ”

"Naturally, I lost my property because of the murder of the gangsters before, and my father promised Cousin Xue a gift, and the steward had already made up for my cousin on this trip, and I would not disappoint my cousin. ”

One hundred thousand oceans is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but Fu Huaiyi will not repay the debt, but seeing her calmly reminding him to give money, he feels interesting.

Maybe it's because many people around him talk about loyalty and righteousness every day, but they think about money, fame and fortune, and the calmness of this beautiful woman is extremely cute.

Cheng Xue looked at him with burning eyes for a long time, guessing what was the chance that the man who called himself "Lin Yi" would send the money.

In the end, I have to admit that unless she is not afraid of trouble to detain him and let people send money, she really can't force him to do anything.

Thinking about the mirage of 100,000 silver dollars, her chest was like a heart-pounding pain.

Fu Huaiyi didn't know her thoughts at the moment, so he said goodbye after a little greeting, and when the night was thicker and unnoticeable, Zhao Ling picked him up and set off with his subordinates.

And Chengxue waited for dinner before she said to Lu's father and Chengyu that she was going out for a while, Lu's father was not worried about his daughter and wanted to go together, and Chengyu was a playful and interactive character who wanted to go together.

But thinking that the risks of this trip were unknown, and they would fall into the abyss if they were a little careless, Chengxue persuaded them to wait for her back at home, and Father Lu and Chengyu had no choice but to give up.

She has never dragged her feet in her work, so she asked someone to pack her luggage that night and prepare to set off tomorrow with Dongxia and Qiulan.

But does this speed, like an escape, carry the hope of getting rid of the sadness of the past?

The past is always poignant, and those promises and promises have been abandoned in the dark night, and perhaps only remembered in a moment of weak dreams.

######

Nanjing's summer heat in July is unbearable, and it seems that you can reach the roof of the stars with your hand, always calling Lu Chengxue to climb.

"Ah Wei, do you think that star looks like you?"

Cheng Xue sat on the somewhat shabby maroon tiles on the roof, waved her handkerchief lightly, and let Cheng Wei cover her calf with a thin blanket that had been bitten by mosquitoes.

"Which one?"

"It's the one that always winks at me, and it seems to have something to say to me. ”

"Ah Xue, it's time for you to see a doctor, it's not me if that star is so ugly. No, that's me. ”

Cheng Wei pointed to a brighter star next to him, and there were two small half-light and half-dark stars next to him.

"Really, what about me? Which one is me?"

"That ......"

"What star is that?"

"Vega"

The girl pouted dissatisfiedly and asked, "Don't tell me that your one is Altair......"

The young man smiled maliciously and asked, "That's right, there are two little stars next to Altair, do you know what they are?"

“......”

"It's our children...... Hmm", the young man's words were covered up.

"Who wants to have children with you, I haven't traveled the world yet......"

The smile in the young man's eyes was about to overflow: "Such a coincidence, my dream is also to travel the world." ”

“...... Where do you want to go?" asked the girl softly.

"English Lyric, I've always wanted to study in England. ”

"Okay, let's go to England together. When the time comes, you go to England to study, and I'm going to open the Four Gyms to England!"

The girl's hearty voice was full of confidence.

"Okay, together!" The young man's solemn promise was once like the mountains and rivers standing and the bright moon of Langlang, which made the girl look forward to and be convinced.

Many years later, she is the only one who is still stuck in the past, but he has already returned from studying abroad with others, leaving pale fragments in his dreams to laugh at her stupidity and infatuation.

######

The autumn breeze is blowing, the blue sea is full of waves, the sound of seagulls, and the sky is boundless.

Lu Chengxue and his entourage did not take the closer land route, but took a ferry all the way north through Haikou.

At this moment, Cheng Xue is on the deck of the luxury cruise ship Fengxing, holding breadcrumbs and sprinkling them into the sea, feeding the phosphorescent sea fish.

Dongxia complained while holding an umbrella for her to cover the not too hot autumn light.

"Miss, why don't we make a train, fast and steady. Doing this ferry was fresh at first, and it was too dizzy after a long time. ”

On this trip, she brought Qiulan, Dongxia and a few guards, and everyone else was fine, only Qiulan was seasick as soon as she got on the boat, but her face was sallow after vomiting for most of the day.

Cheng Xue knew his thoughts, so she teased: "Dong Xia, it is difficult to marry Qiulan with your love in your heart, you have to take the initiative to chase it." ”

"Who, who likes Qiulan", stammered in winter and summer.

"You don't like it, so I'm thinking too much?"

Looking at the slightly blushing winter and summer, Cheng Xue seemed to smile: "Qiulan is one year older than me, and if she doesn't marry, she will be an old girl. ”

"......" Dong Xia was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to show his heart casually, so he could only hold the umbrella handle with both hands, and the steel umbrella handle was about to break.

"But she's been with me for many years, and I'm not used to leaving. Cheng Xue turned to say, and even made his little heart go up and down.

"I heard that Miss Sanjo, who is famous in the film industry, is going to perform a song at the dinner tonight, and if you can get a table in the front row, I may feel that Qiulan needs it even more. ”

“......”

was choked by seven inches, and Dong Xia couldn't refuse at all.

After giving the order, without waiting for him to answer, Cheng Xue went back to her room to change her clothes and prepare for the dinner party in the evening.

I looked at the dozen or so boxes I brought, and I still picked out a suit to wear to the dinner.

The Wind is the fastest and safest ship in China, with three floors for passenger activities.

The banquet was held on the second floor, and many powerful and wealthy people gathered.

The venue of the party is semi-arc-shaped, and the layout is brilliant and beautiful, which is very worthy of the money spent by the guests.

Cheng Xue was dressed in a neat gray plaid suit today, sitting on the VIP seat with a simple ponytail, and sitting on her right hand was Qiu Lan, who was wearing a royal blue exquisite cheongsam ninja who was not suitable to be accompanied.

Ignoring the various and well-dressed men and women at the banquet, Cheng Xue enjoyed the steak that Qiulan had cut and fed to her mouth, while teasing the extraordinarily gentle and graceful maid tonight.

"Qiulan, obviously she is not in good health and still hasn't rested, so you have to accompany me to the banquet, what's the matter, are you worried that your young lady will fall in love with someone else tonight?

Over the years, she has walked all over the country, and the most accompanying person around her is not Father Lu and Chengyu, but Qiulan.

Therefore, she thought that Qiulan was her sister in her heart, and she never suffered a loss in food and clothing.

And Qiulan thinks that Chengxue is the master and that she is her sister, and she worries about everything.

has been by her side for many years, and Qiulan has long been no longer Wuxia Ameng, ignoring the young lady's ridicule and asking, "Miss, what is the purpose of your participation in this banquet tonight?"

"Of course, I want to pick two more beauties to accompany you!"

In line with the ambition of not losing people or losing battles, she is dressed heroically today, while Qiulan's dress is delicate and graceful, and she does not lose to Miss Everyone.

Staring at Qiulan's delicate face with a little powder, Cheng Xue couldn't help but hook her chin: "Qiulan, did you secretly drink any supplements, this skin is really blown."

After speaking, he didn't forget to blow lightly on her face.

"......" knew that Miss was joking again, but Qiulan didn't notice anything abnormal.

But the afterglow swept over the guard Chu Feiyan on the left hand side of the young lady, and the poor man looked at the crystal lamp above his head with an embarrassed look as if he had seen through the adultery.

Qiulan calmly handed her young lady a glass of red wine and asked her to moisten her throat.

And Cheng Xue saw that Qiulan didn't react to her teasing at all now, so she was bored, so she could only taste red wine and wait patiently for the climax of the banquet.

Counting the time, the banquet started for an hour, and it was still in the group dance and performance stage.

The person she was expecting hadn't yet come to the stage, so she could only look at the guests around her in boredom, looking at the clothes and guessing their identities.

At the first table on the left hand side are two middle-aged men in brocade clothes who are slightly rich, most of them are engaged in business; on the right hand side is a tall and thin soldier in military uniform, who seems to have the rank of military academy, with two subordinates; a gentleman, a rich aunt, an official, a scholar, and a boudoir lady......

She looked at everything she could, but she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when her gaze swept to the left front.

Aren't the familiar star-eyebrow sword eyes and phoenix dragon posture the same "cousin Lin Yi" who just said goodbye to her two days ago?!

It's really a place where you don't meet in life!
