Chapter 38: Memoirs: Song Minghao's Secret Study I
The rain of early spring is slightly cool, the sun shines brightly through the faint clouds, through the calm drizzle on the horizon, the sun casts the clear light obliquely on the cornflower soaked in dewdrops and gently shakes, the blue or bright purple buds bloom slightly, the dense petals are clustered around the deeper color of the stamen, the sun is like a champs shrouded in the clear blue calyx, and the swaying bright purple rays are like stars scattered in the night sky. The soft starlight shimmers with a moist pearl that flows quietly on the feathery leaves covered with fine hairs, and even the dense veins are particularly bright and dazzling.
Uncle Wang parked his car at the foot of the mountain, where there were very few pedestrians, and he waited for nearly a quarter of an hour with Qiyue, but he did not see anyone sent by the Song family to answer him. "It should be there soon, and besides, Song's villa is not far from where we are. β
"Wait. July quietly looked at the white and gray European-style building not far away, and in the dense and verdant mountain forest, the crimson minaret-shaped sloping roof was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
"Do you want to call Young Master Song Minghao again, hey, if you want me to say that you don't give Liang Xia a holiday. The dead girl doesn't know where to run and play crazy. She should have been told to take the lead. β
July continued to walk in the direction of Song in a hurry. She completely ignored Uncle Wang's complaints.
"Actually, Miss July, you don't have to worry too much about Liang Xia, our family can move into the Xia family, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. Besides, it's her luck that the cool summer can enter your eyes. With this in mind, she should also think about you in everything. Besides, if this is a 100-year setback, our royal family will not be able to serve the masters wholeheartedly for several generations. β
July heard the strangeness of Uncle Wang's words, she smiled lightly, and slowly turned her head, her eyes just touched Uncle Wang's dull gaze.
"It's too much for you to say that, and I think I've emphasized to you no less than a hundred times that you don't call me by honorifics, you are an elder, and honorifics should be appropriate for me to be called by my juniors. β
"This, this, I, I don't dare. The strange cold wind blew in his face, and in the panic, Uncle Wang wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, his mouth opened wide, and his cheeks were as earth-colored as two touches of peach-pink You Xia, he thought about it awkwardly for a long time, and even blurted out the words incoherently.
"Madame will ,,, will, and Xia Dong he, he ,,,"
"Why do you say that, seeing that you always look like you're bowing your eyebrows, I'm really embarrassed in front of Liang Xia. Besides, I don't want a sunny girl like her to be separated from me because of the disparity in her background. β
"Miss, don't worry,,, I'll ,,, I will educate her well ,,,. At that moment, Uncle Wang's brain cells were almost consumed, he avoided Qiyue's constantly exploring eyes, he touched his nose crampedly, and his sallow and fat face was covered with large beads of sweat.
"I have grown up under the care of you and Aunt Wang since I was a child, and you mean a lot to me and to our entire Xia family. In our hearts, you are a family member, not a servant in the ordinary sense, can you understand how we treat you?"
"Ming ,,, understands,,, Mrs. Xia Dong takes special care of me. Without you, we would not be where we are today. The food and clothing are all brand-named. Uncle Wang's face turned red, as if someone had spoken something on his head.
Such an Uncle Wang made July a little overwhelmed. She forced a sigh.
"Uncle Wang, you don't understand what I mean at all, well, I order you, from today onwards, we will call and greet each other as equals. I am not the noble daughter of the Xia family in your eyes, and you are not a respectable uncle in my eyes. β
"Good, good, great. Uncle Wang's voice was hoarse and low like a prisoner to be judged for sin, and the sweat the size of a bean rolled down the bridge of his flat nose, and he raised his face again, and his numb eyes and grotesque complexion all told him of his nervousness.
"I miss you as a child. β
July looked at him faintly, and for a long time, she waved her hand. "Then please stay here and wait for me. I want to be alone and quiet. β
The unscrupulous blade poked her heart through countless holes, as if the cold air from the north had once again poured into her blood, which penetrated her whole body. July still remembers that when she was a child playing with the cool summer, her big innocent eyes always revealed a sense of reserve that a young child should not have. Sometimes her smile is playful, but there is no half-smile in those eyes. Perhaps, the invisible barrier between Liang Xia and her is due to the strictness of her family education.
July quietly walked on the path paved with exquisite pebbles, both rows of the path are planted with her favorite French acacia, the green leaf top and the leaf top are protected by layers to form an arch bridge-shaped top, her slender and immature neck is slightly reserved, and then slowly looks up silently at the faint sunlight that looms through a line of sky, at that moment she feels the loneliness that has not been seen for a long time. Even the dazzling sunlight slowly dimmed.
"I don't want to play with girls who can't hopscotch, can't jump rubber bands, can't play eagle and catch chickens. β
"I don't want to. β
"I don't want to, and besides, the vicious uncle behind her is always glaring at us. β
"We're not thieves, why are you looking at us like that, we'll have nightmares when we come home. β
Little July opened her mouth slightly, and she looked down at the earthy yellow leather band that was thrown on the ground by the tomboy. At that moment, her face was feverish.
"Let's go, don't play with this particular girl. "Yes, if I don't play with her, I'll already see her unpleasant, and I love to pretend to be 13. β
July stayed there, she watched the cold eyes of those girls, and the cute faces were full of the words deliberately isolated.
The corners of July's aggrieved mouth twitched to spasm, her ears flushed with embarrassment, she obediently hung her head and stared at her toes, although her tongue trembled and curled a little, she still awkwardly pleaded. "Can you not leave me behind, take me to play, I can't play, but I learn quickly. I'll blend in with you. β
"You have it, my mother told me a long time ago that she didn't want me to play with you, she said that you are everyone's best girl, if you bump into it, we can't afford to pay it. Besides, my other friends hate playing with you. The tomboy-like girl stepped forward. "Don't play with her. "Don't take her," and the girls shouted in unison.
July held back the roots of her ears, she slowly leaned down, her hands tugging at the corners of the little pink dress, she just wanted to defend herself, but before she could react, the smiling girls tightly surrounded her in the middle of the circle. There was a smell of vinegar in their mouths, and there were even unknown girls who cursed and humiliated the daughter of this family with ugly words.
"Fuck off, a bunch of bad girls who don't know the depths. Huo Ran, the girl dressed as a tomboy who took the lead in coaxing, turned around.
"Who are you, talking to me like that!!"
"Ye Zhiqiu, I knew that you must have taken the lead in bullying that girl. Song Minghao's fists and kicks were quite powerful, and he pushed her far away with just one volley.
"I didn't take the lead in bullying her, don't wronged me!" the tomboy-looking girl hurriedly replied with a look of not to be outdone.
"You didn't take the lead in bullying her, she can do this, she knows that you have charisma, but you brought everyone together just to bully a weak little girl?!" Xiao Minghao gritted his teeth and shouted in the tomboy's ear. "I don't know, that's all you can do. β
"I say no, no, everyone can testify. The girl cried out with all her might.
"Testify for you Ye Zhiqiu?Okay, who dares to testify?!" Xiao Minghao glanced around seriously, and deliberately showed a smile on his face as if he was appreciating a work of art. "It's you, or she. Stand up for me, how you bullied her just now, now speak to me in the same tone!"
The girls were red-faced with fright. Everyone, you look at me, I'll look at yours. Then they all shook their heads frantically.
"Tell me what you see, whether she, or any of you, has done anything sorry for my friend. Seeing the tomboy-looking girl sweeping the floor, everyone pushed and shoved their partners beside them. Then, those girls who were full of righteousness all chose to keep silent.
The sparse noise died down for a long time.
Xiao Minghao looked at the tomboy who was screaming in fright again.
Quietly around,
In the strange tranquility, everyone bowed their heads tacitly.
"Don't do that, little brother. She and they didn't do anything to me. July replied with difficulty.
"You don't have to defend them, it's not worth it for such a guy. Song Minghao's eyes widened, and he fixed his eyes on Ye Zhiqiu.
"If they don't breathe this evil, these people don't know how to give up, and they will definitely get worse next time. Xiao Minghao glanced coldly at the disgruntled Ye Zhiqiu, his calm face and cold voice were full of annoyance.
Then, he struggled to shake Ye Zhiqiu's upright body like a puppet.
Dizzy, dizzy, at that moment, even the blue sky, white clouds and green trees followed the darkness. But Ye Zhiqiu still refused to give in.
The little friends behind him gasped when they saw this.
Song Minghao's dark eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Don't do that, you're going to freak her out like that, and you see, I don't have a single wound on my body. β
July said, subconsciously reaching out and stopping at the tomboy collar that Song Minghao was holding onto. looked at the girl's timid and confused eyes after she was domineering. July's heart thumped. "Really, they don't have a heart either, and I need a friend so I don't hurt her. β
July pleaded in a silly whisper.
"Oh well. β
"Remember, bastard girl, it was she who interceded for you today, and I let you go. Okay, you give me credit to her. If there is a next time, I will not spare you easily. Did you hear me clearly?"
Ye Zhiqiu was so frightened that she almost fainted, she just nodded vigorously. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she was so scared that she was panting desperately.
"Bang!"
Song Minghao let go too quickly, the girl's center of gravity instantly became unbalanced, she staggered back a few steps, and planted heavily in the middle of the little friend beside her. But the girls were also interested, and when they saw her fall heavily on themselves, they flashed to the side, and deliberately watched the tomboy fall miserably on the uneven cobblestone floor.
"Ah!!h
"It hurts, my leg is broken. β
"My leg is broken, woo. β
"She's just wrong, but the girl is fine, you can't punish her like that. β
"I'm going to sue you, the teacher said that the guy who bullied the child will be punished. β
There was an uproar at the scene, and the uproar was about to get out of control. Everyone is torn between anger and fear.
The lower lip briefly touched the upper lip. Xiao Minghao stood motionless, his hands hanging down on his trouser line, and his ten fingers clenched into fists.
The setting sun stretched his thin and lonely shadow so long and long.
"Are you bullying us ordinary girls just because you are rich and powerful?"
A brilliant glow erupted from the sky, and in an instant, the entire sky was dyed purple red, like a magnificent magical ocean. The leisurely and silent clouds are surrounded by gilded edges, shining with gold and spitting brightly. Even the acacia not far away is dyed with a dazzling halo. July glanced at Ye Zhiqiu, who was half-kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and then looked back at Song Minghao.
Song Minghao slowly let go of his bulging hands, staring at those indifferent faces and laughing uninhibitedly on his back.
"You don't want to be like this, little brother, he really didn't mean to hurt her, I just saw it, it's really just a flick of the wrist, and if you're not careful... July set aside the good thing girl who was around Song Minghao, she firmly squeezed in front of Song Minghao, and at that moment, even her milky voice carried a touch of awe-inspiring calm. She stretched out her arms like outstretched wings, carefully protecting him behind her.
"It's really not what everybody thinks. He didn't push her on purpose. β
Under the red sunset, Song Minghao's eyes gradually returned to normal and were extremely cold, and he glared angrily at every girl present.
"Don't talk nonsense to them, it's useless. Song Minghao looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, not to be outdone.
"Listen to me, little brother, tell them that you didn't mean it, and apologize to the girl and ask for her forgiveness. β
There was a slight cry in July's stunned voice, and she cried out at a crushed voice. The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and as soon as July's words fell, the girls who didn't know the depth muttered complaints and cursed a few words. "Pretend, you're in the same league as him, they're all bad guys, bad guys. β
"TMD is the same bad guy, and the bad guy is with the bad guy. β
Song Minghao's body shook, standing stiffly in place like a stone sculpture, like a fiery sunset, his stiff facial muscles were like deflated red balloons. He narrowed his eyes into two slits that barely fit July, "Apologize to them." At that moment, July was so anxious that he almost stomped his foot.
"Explain it to them. β
Seeing that Qiyue was sweating profusely, he looked up and laughed again, with a sharp sneer with cold arrogance. Under the trend of cold arrogance and loneliness, he stared gloomily with wide open eyes and stared at everyone opposite with indignation surging indignation.
July changed her strategy, and she slowly turned around in the light wind, and at that moment even her signature smile had a warm breeze in it. "Little brother, you apologize to them quickly, say sorry, just sorry, okay?"
In the cold wind, July's smile is like a dandelion that will be crushed by the wind at any time. She smiled, her eyes as clear and bright as the crescent moon. That beautiful smile is the most unforgettable childhood mark of his life.
Time passed minute by minute, and she was always waiting for him with anticipation.
Song Minghao was slightly stunned, he looked at the girls surrounding him in front of him, and everyone's eyes were filled with suffocating indifference.
"Pretend, continue to pretend, pretend to !!"
A red fireball flashed again in Song Minghao's cold purple pupils.
He stared earnestly at July's stunned eyes, and then said very hard. "You're asking me to apologize to these bullies, aren't you?"
Song Minghao snorted coldly, the purple light under his eyes became deeper and deeper, and the sun shone on his cold and deep eyes.
"I apologize to these stupid fellows, she doesn't deserve your sympathy, and they don't deserve your forgiveness. Song Minghao's eyes were as sharp as a fire waiting to burst out at any time. "In short, my life dictionary does not apologize and give in, even if they force a gun to my head, I will never follow their wishes. β
"Little brother, don't do this. July was stunned, she stared at him with horror in her eyes, and at that moment she couldn't believe her eyes. "Right is right, wrong is wrong, do wrong, don't ask what kind of reason, but be sure to get forgiveness from others. β
Song Minghao grabbed July's shoulder and broke free from behind her and walked towards the center of the crowd, holding out a finger towards the swaying crowd.
"Ask them, is she worthy?"
"What kind of identity is she and what kind of background I am. Does she deserve my word of apology?"
"Little brother, how can you say such a thing? You are too much, even if you didn't mean to hurt her, but it is a fact that she fell to the ground, why can't you apologize to her. And what you're saying now is even more excessive than the fall just now. β
Song Minghao listened to Qiyue's words, and he lowered his head. Kissing the wind of the caramel-colored grass to blow away his fluffy hair, he took a step forward, his eyes fixed intently on July.
He tensed his jaw and lowered his face without speaking.
July glared back at him angrily. The two men stared straight at each other for a full minute. July was the first to lose. She walked into the middle of the crowd.
"When you come back, what are you going to do. You'll regret it, you know it or not. β
Song Minghao grabbed July's arm.
"You let go, there is always someone between me and my little brother who has to give in first, let go, let go of me. After all, it is I who has caused so many people's dissatisfaction, and you are guilty of everyone for me. I'm the culprit, and even if I don't get punished by everyone, I should at least do something to make amends. This is the family motto left by my grandmother. β
July held the corner of her skirt and slowly squatted in front of Ye Zhiqiu.
"Ye Zhiqiu, are you okay, it doesn't matter if you want to, can you stand up. July gently wiped the fine sand embedded in the cracks of her pants, and then carefully helped her to sit under a solid tree.
July gently rolled up the corners of her pants, circle by circle, until the circle that touched the wound, blood slowly seeped out along the slender calf, the wound stuck to the torn pants, July gently lifted it little by little.
"Oh! no, tap, it hurts. Ye Zhiqiu's eyebrows wrinkled awkwardly into two parallel lines. Tears swirled back and forth in her red, slightly hot eyes, and she turned her face, trying to keep them from dripping.
"However, if I don't bandage it for you now, the blood will dry up, and it will hurt even more if I tear the fabric on my knees, and maybe I will get the bacteria in the dirty blood. β
July ignored her sudden start, she took out a pack of tissues from her jacket pocket, and tried to control her strength and carefully wipe her wounds.
"No, it hurts. β
"You let her go. The girls shouted straight out.
"Didn't you hear her crying out in pain?"
Then the other girls looked at her with disdain. "Do you think you're the goddess Athena in the cartoon?" "How can you have such a good heart, and you do a beautiful job of face." β
Ignoring them, July pulled out one of the most eye-catching scarves from Milan Fashion Week from her jacket pocket.
"It's okay, I'll clean up the dust on the wound for you, bear with me, I'll help you bandage it, go home and let Mom give you some more potion." β
Ye Zhiqiu struggled to look at his cleaned wound, and then looked at the square towel in Qiyue's hand again.
When she saw the name tag under the scarf, she looked at July in disbelief.
"This scarf is ,,, no, absolutely not. I can't let you bandage me with such a precious scarf. β
Ye Zhiqiu pushed away Qiyue's hand, held the trunk behind him, endured the pain and slowly stood up.
"Xia Qiyue, you remember, you have leveled with me. β
"How can this be the end? It's okay to let Xia Qiyue go, but that boy. He hasn't apologized yet. β
"yes, I'll leave after I apologize. β
Everyone began to participate in the words of you and me again.
Song Minghao listened carefully to the voices that disgusted him, he tightened his two arms in the direction of his body, and then he pursed his lips, his face was a little pale, as if someone had stabbed his heart with his palm, like a prick full of countless needles.
Inadvertently, July grabbed his hand, and the hazy and dreamy cloud shadow reflected in her calm and gentle eyes.
Under the curtain full of pink diamonds, he turned his face, the light purple eyes were as clear and clear as the sky after the rain, and July was secretly stunned in his heart, so pure and clear eyes, It was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Thank you, thank you for just helping me out. July thought and thought about it, and said softly. "Also, I'm sorry, what I just said was too heavy. "Well, also, and you hurt that girl for my sake after all, I should go. β
"Enough, no, not yet. I'm sorry, thank you. You can only talk to me alone, don't tell anyone else, it's cheap, you know?"
Song Minghao's eyes rolled, and under the light sunset flames, Song Minghao's handsome and fair face also flowed with a faint flush. He stretched out his delicate fingers and warmly caressed his white face like a daffodil. His fingers were cold but warm.
Long
For a long time, the two stood opposite each other, and neither spoke.
Seeing that the hands of the two people were clasped tightly, not only the two of them, but even the girls who were still coaxing just now closed their mouths in amusement.
"That's it, for the sake of you cleaning my wounds and almost giving me expensive gifts, I don't care about you. Let's go!" Ye Zhiqiu gave an order, and the girls dispersed in a hurry.
The ethereal red glow gradually faded, and a round of light starlight was embedded in the faint and hazy layers of starlight.
In the quiet shade of the trees, Song Minghao's warm and fresh body fragrance slowly surrounded her, July closed his eyes, he slowly supported the back of her head with one hand, and it skyrocketed to a boiling strong heartbeat, and his slender body slowly escaped with hormonal breath. The aroma is like the water of the hot springs, so warm that you forget everything.
July's face was pressed against his jaw.
Two overlapping shadows are sparsely and obliquely cast on the cobblestone floor reflecting the moonlight.
Song Minghao leaned down and smiled and dropped a sweet kiss on her forehead.
"Song Minghao, what's your name?"
The wind was howling, and July's beige long skirt was flying, Song Minghao felt a bursting heartbeat, his left arm was propped up on the trunk behind July, and his right hand slowly reached into his trouser pocket.
"Xia Qiyue, hello, my name is Xia Qiyue, please take care of me. β
The dim street lamp suddenly flickered dimly and uncomfortably, and Song Minghao's body suddenly shook.
His eyes were firmly in the middle of July's frightened pupils.
July, who had been silent, was a little confused, and she asked blankly: "Little brother, did you hear that? I just said that my name is Xia Qi... β
"No, I know, I knew your name before I saw you. β
July looked at him in a daze, there was a distance between Song Minghao and her, she touched her hair, and said in a stiff and vague tone. "You know, you are the son of Uncle Song, I didn't turn my mind from Ye Zhiqiu's matter just now, I'm still curious, your name is the same as the one I am familiar with. β
Song Minghao took a small step forward, he bent straight down, his eyebrows awkwardly raised from the middle, and then a warm smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.
