Chapter 137: Absent-minded Xu Shuo
Every woman like a flower
All have jade-like years
For the story in anticipation
Do everything to bloom
Every time the flowers fall away
It is a testament to the gap between the passing years
How many bitter endings
It is not possible to re-graft
......
Yu Wanwan sang it with the eyes of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the song was as soft as a babbling stream.
Her voice is very soft and glutinous, even for people like Xu Shuo, who have never listened to classical songs, but only know that they are immersed in the deafening DJ music, their bones are crispy when they hear it.
At the end of the song, at the request of the audience in the teahouse, Yu Wanwan played a song "Ambush on All Sides" on the pipa, and the slender fingers flew up and down, plucking the strings loudly.
Different from the soft and soft waxy of the previous small song, this song is majestic and expresses the fierceness of the battlefield.
Xu Shuo was about to get drunk when he heard it, he seemed to see countless soldiers in ancient costumes fighting in front of his eyes, and Yu Wanwan was the one who beat the war drums on the battlefield and encouraged the morale of the army.
He had never listened to Chinese music, and he suddenly felt that the pipa was so good, and Yu Wanwan's music was so fascinating. Well, this woman is really interesting.
Unconsciously, Xu Shuo was fascinated by what he heard, and when Yu Wanwan plucked out the last note, he couldn't help but shout hello to everyone.
That day, he had been sitting there, brewing and brewing a pot of Yingshan Yunwu tea, and had been sitting until the Xiangwan Tea House closed, and when he left, Yu Wanwan helped Miao Zhilan clean up the table, and walked in front of Xu Shuo.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yu Wanwan politely and politely cast a sweet smile at him.
However, his Qiao Zhuang dress was very successful, and Yu Wanwan did not recognize him from beginning to end. On the way back, Xu Shuo was both happy and a little unhappy. Both happy and unhappy are because Yu Wanwan didn't recognize him.
His disguise was very successful, he was curious about what Yu Wanwan was like in life, he came to see it secretly, and his curiosity was satisfied. On the other hand, Yu Wanwan had a collision with his eyes, but she still didn't recognize him, proving that she didn't take him to heart at all, not even at all.
No, how could she be like this? Could it be that I, Xu Shuo, have no status in her eyes? She even greeted the old men in the front row, could it be that he is not as good as a few old men in the imperial domain?
It seems that he is not completely bad, so bad that he is not even qualified to let Yu Wanwan remember him.
During dinner in the evening, Xu Shuo was absent-minded, and he didn't quarrel with Xu Annie anymore, and he didn't talk about his fun things outside.
Xu Kangnian and his wife looked at him a little wrong, and asked Xu Annie with their eyes, but Xu Annie said that she didn't know. The family looked at each other, not knowing what happened to this son-in-law who usually talked a lot like a little starling.
After eating dinner listlessly, Xu Shuo put down his chopsticks and said to Xu Kangnian and Tian Xinmei, "I'm done eating, I'm going to take a bath and sleep." ”
"What?"
Xu Kangnian and his wife almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of food, and this person, who had never been outside at night until the turn of the morning before coming back, actually said to go to bed.
It was the first time he'd been so well-behaved since he was an adult.
Tian Xinmei put down her chopsticks and glanced at her son worriedly.
"Xiao Shuo, are you not feeling well? It's only eight o'clock in the evening. Why do you go to bed so early?"
"Nothing uncomfortable, just sleepy. ”
"But you've never felt sleepy at this time, and when you come back for dinner today, we all feel very wrong.
You tell your mom that you're doing something outside, and it's okay, you don't have to worry, mom can help you out. ”
"Oh, I didn't do anything, I just was sleepy, tired, and wanted to sleep. ”
"But, in all these years, I've never heard you say you're tired. What the hell has happened to you?"
"Oh, Mom, don't ask, I'm just sleepy, I'm going upstairs. ”
Tian Xinmei wanted to say something, Xu Shuo waved her arm impatiently, and then strode upstairs.
Tian Xinmei returned to the dinner table worriedly, looked at Xu Annie, who was tearing a piece of steak to a loud sound, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Oh, baby, your brother doesn't know what's wrong, you still have the heart to eat steak and eat so hard. ”
"He doesn't know what's wrong, what's the matter with me?"
"He's your half-brother. ”
"So what? He's not happy, are we all going to be unhappy with him?"
"Oops, Annie. I mean you should learn to care about people. After all, he is your own brother, he is not happy now, we should comfort and comfort him. ”
"Mom, what do you mean? Comfort him, don't I have to eat? If he is not happy, he will disturb the whole family?"
"Anne, have you forgotten that a few days ago, in order to celebrate the success of your hand in hand with Luo Yichen, your brother and he directly sent you a villa in Luohe Wan. ”
At the mention of the villa, Xu Annie paused in cutting the steak, and then pouted.
"Oh, okay, okay. I'm about to be nagged to death by you when I eat. Shall I finish my meal and see if he is okay?"
"That's good. Between your brothers and sisters, it's easy to talk about it. If there is something unhappy about him, it is more likely to tell you.
After all, your father and I are old, and we don't know much about your young people's thoughts, so it's easy to create a generation gap. ”
"Mom, you have to be mentally prepared in advance. My brother talks a lot, but he's not a guy who wants to talk to me about everything. Of the four of us, he has the best relationship with the Labradoodle he raised. What are we in his eyes, really. ”
"Oh, Annie, it's your brother, after all. What kind of jealousy do you eat as a dog?"
As soon as Xu Anni put down the dishes and chopsticks, she was half-coaxed and half-pushed upstairs by Tian Xinmei.
Xu Shuo had just finished taking a shower and was blowing his hair in a bathrobe.
"Brother, Mom asked me to ask if you were doing something outside. ”
"Hey, what can I do?"
"Then what are you doing sneakily disguised as a bad old man this afternoon?"
"Didn't I tell you, I'm going out to experience the life of ordinary people. ”
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'd better go and talk back to my parents, lest they think you're abnormal. ”
"Eh, didn't you say you would keep it secret when you came back?"
"You don't tell me the truth, why should I keep it a secret for you?"
Xu Shuo thought about it, if you want to get close to Yu Wanwan, Xu Annie will definitely not be able to get around this level.
Yu Wanwan is her personal assistant and follows her almost every day. As the saying goes, the building near the water gets the moon first, and the sunny door is easy to meet in spring. So why didn't Xu Shuo use his sister's relationship to get close to Yu Wanwan?
Xu Annie knows about this, maybe she will have to help him.
"Okay, I'll tell you. I fell in love with the personal assistant next to me, Yu Wanwan. ”
"What?!"
