The geese have been left behind, and the leaves know the autumn. |For every two people who look at romance, there is an account that has registered an account on the network.
At the end of the street, there is a mansion with a wide wall, and in front of the gate hangs a couplet written by the royal pen, "one door seven jinshi, father and son three tanhua".
However, the door of this mansion may not have been opened for a long time, and the scene of the former gate is no longer there. There is no longer laughter and laughter inside, and there are no longer brilliant lights, just looking at the vermilion mottled door, you can imagine the cold, depressed and desolate scene inside.
Even the man of this mansion has not been back for a long time.
Lin Shiyin is also a very beautiful woman, her beauty is not Lin Xian'er's beauty that is perfect from every hair to her toes, but a metaphysical temperament beauty.
She was young, but even for a boudoir woman, her body was too delicate, her face was pale, and her eyes contained an eternal sorrow in the depths of her eyes, but in any case, her eyes were always bright, at least ...... It used to be bright.
Qiao Heng and Lin Shiyin met for the first time in the back garden of this mansion.
He didn't call Lin Shiyin Mrs. Long, but asked, "Dare to ask if this is Lin Shiyin Lin girl?"
When Lin Shiyin saw Qiao Heng, she didn't ask who he was, nor did she ask why he appeared here. Because she knows that no matter who comes, they have only one purpose, and that is - "The Treasure of Mercy"!
"Miss Lin may have misunderstood, I originally wanted to ask the concierge to help inform me, but the concierge of your mansion said with a smile, Miss Lin couldn't help but come in and out of her hospitality, so I came in directly. β
He said it mildly, the porter was actually Lin Xian'er's father, and he was completely a scoundrel. He could tell that Qiao Heng was from the rivers and lakes, and Long Xiaoyun, who was now supporting him, had disappeared for a long time, and when he heard that Qiao Heng wanted to see Lin Shiyin, he quickly nodded and let him enter Zhuangzi.
Lin Shiyin's heart was a little fixed, she said half coldly and half gently: "I see, thank you Gongzi for telling me, it was really rude just now." β
Seeing that she was not very enthusiastic, the young man was not angry.
These eyes without the slightest annoyance made Lin Shiyin in a trance.
If she knew that Lin Xian'er once felt that Qiao Heng and Li Xunhuan's eyes were very similar, she might have expressed her approval. But there was nothing else they had in common except for the eyes, but for some reason, she couldn't take her eyes off hers.
Thinking of Li Xunhuan, she was only full of bitterness in her heart.
These two pairs of eyes are a kind of calm after the vicissitudes of life, the difference is that Li Xunhuan hides the various hardships he has experienced behind the tenderness like water, and Qiao Heng hides the sense of passing brought about by this kind of time washing in peace, but he is obviously so young......
In the flash of light, Qiao Heng understood that she didn't know why she actually saw Li Xunhuan's shadow through herself.
There was a huge plane tree next to it, and a few fallen leaves were scattered on the ground, and the sudden sound of footsteps stepping on broken leaves woke Lin Shiyin.
"Mother!" The person who came was a boy, Lin Shiyin's son Long Xiaoyun.
Lin Shiyin's eyes at this time were something he had never seen before, not the kindness when facing himself, not the resentment when he looked at Li Xunhuan, and the indifference when he looked at Long Xiaoyun.
Long Xiaoyun looked at the young man who was both strange and familiar, and asked with vigilance: "I don't know what the important thing is, but I bothered the young helper of the Money Gang to visit Xingyunzhuang again?"
Qiao Heng was still looking at Lin Shiyin.
Lin Shiyin reprimanded: "Xiaoyun." β
Then she said to the young man from the Money Gang: "I can't accompany you if there is something at home today." β
She owed in the direction of Qiao Heng, and at the moment when she saluted Qiao Heng, Qiao Heng was also about to bow his hand to Lin Shiyin, he said: "Miss Lin is not wrong, I am too abrupt, please don't blame Miss Lin." β
Lin Shiyin's movements paused, and she finished saluting as usual.
Lin Shiyin pulled Long Xiaoyun, who still wanted to say something, back to the room, Long Xiaoyun was young, and Li Xunhuan abolished his martial arts, he understood that if the other party had bad intentions, he would not be able to protect his mother, and he didn't want to provoke the other party, so he obediently let Lin Shiyin take him back indoors.
Qiao Heng watched Lin Shiyin return to the small building, and a door separated the two.
The next day, under the plane tree that was unknown how many years old, Qiao Heng apologized for yesterday's presumptuous visit.
Lin Shiyin was in the small building, and she saw him at a glance when she opened the window, but after a night of calmness, she no longer thought of Li Xunhuan because of those similar eyes.
It's just an uninvited villain.
However, it is as natural for this villain to stand in the courtyard of someone else's house as if he were standing in his own home.
Qiao Heng noticed her gaze and looked up at her. He stood under the tree for a while, as if he finally understood that Lin Shiyin would not come down to see him, he saluted Lin Shiyin and left in silence.
But then, he already knew what to do.
On the third day, Lin Shiyin stood on the small building and looked down from afar, and saw that the unknown young man came again.
The autumn wind passed through the ears, and the sycamore leaves fell, which added a bit of loneliness to Qiao Heng's body.
On the fourth day, Qiao Heng still came.
Lin Shiyin walked down the small building and came to him step by step.
Qiao Heng lowered his eyes, as if he was looking at a stone and a dead leaf on the ground, and as if he was looking at Lin Shiyin's shadow gradually approaching.
Lin Shiyin said: "If you are here for the "Treasure of Mercy", you can leave now, and you don't need to come over in the future." β
This was the first time she had spoken to Qiao Heng, and she was even ready for the other party to turn her face immediately. But what she didn't expect was that Qiao Heng was slightly stunned after hearing her say this, as if he was surprised that Lin Shiyin suddenly mentioned something that had nothing to do with each other, but then, the expression on his face returned to normal. But this short moment was enough for Lin Shiyin to capture the expression he had just subconsciously had.
Qiao Heng looked a little interested, he said: "I really want to have a relationship with Miss Lin, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not, do you also think that the higher the martial arts, the better? In my eyes, the higher the martial arts, the more troubles there are." β
This was not actually said by him, but by Lin Shiyin in the original book.
However, what Jianghu people would not be willing to pursue more advanced martial arts? No Jianghu people would agree with this idea at all.
Lin Shiyin's heart throbbed, and as soon as the words "I ......" came out, she quickly closed her mouth, after all, this is a bit shallow and deep.
Qiao Heng saw that she didn't want to talk more with herself, so she took the initiative to say: "It's me who asked recklessly, if Miss Lin doesn't want to say more, it doesn't matter." The words were like this, but when he was speaking, his black and white eyes looked into Lin Shiyin's eyes, as if he was waiting for her to say something, but in the end he didn't wait for anything.
Qiao Heng's face was slightly cold, and he saluted Lin Shiyin as peacefully and elegantly as he had a few days ago, but walked away.
"Wait......" Lin Shiyin was left in place by her, standing in place like thunder, and she didn't know what to think for a while.
On the fifth day, Lin Shiyin waited on the small building all day, she knew that her table yesterday was too rude, and she had to at least apologize to him when she met the other party today, if she could ask in detail, what did he mean by that sentence yesterday. However, until the moon hung on her head, she couldn't wait for Qiao Heng's figure under the plane tree.
On the sixth day, Long Xiaoyun found that the young gang leader of the Money Gang had come again.
Unlike his somewhat weak mother, Long Xiaoyun mostly follows his father in character, ruthless, vicious, and extremely wary of others.
He came to Qiao Heng, and in order to prevent his mother in the small building from hearing their conversation, he lowered his voice and said, "Young helper, please go back!
Qiao Heng didn't follow his words and said anything about "The Treasure of Mercy", but said something else: "I know that you once looked for my father behind your mother's back. You and your father once conspired to kill Li Xunhuan with the help of money. I'm curious, does your mother know about this?"
Long Xiaoyun looked at Qiao Heng's eyes as if they were quenched with poison, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Qiao Heng neither admitted nor denied it, he said: "I think if you can, your mother would rather you be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life, rather than you get involved in these dirty and dangerous things." β
Lin Shiyin's husband Long Xiaoyun didn't understand her heart, Li Xunhuan didn't understand either, even her doting son didn't know, or maybe they didn't try to get into her heart at all, and they didn't care what she thought at all, even if they knew what she thought, they didn't know.
The first person to read her mind was a girl named Sun Xiaohong, and Sun Xiaohong was the firstβand the only oneβto point out and understand Lin Shiyin's idea that Li Xunhuan was just an ordinary person. However, only Sun Xiaohong understands what the meaning is, the three most important men in her life still don't understand the truth that the goals pursued by both sides are never the same, they "please" and "compensate" her, but they all fall into the void.
What they pursue, Lin Shiyin doesn't want, and what Lin Shiyin desires is not what they want. Whether it is marrying Li Xunhuan or Long Xiaoyun, it is a tragic mistake.
Long Xiaoyun forcibly suppressed his anger: "You are not my mother, how do you know what she thinks? It's not your turn to teach me a lesson! This is not the Money Gang, the Young Gang Leader is reining in, what happened here, Shangguan Gang Leader can't take care of it here!"
Of course he does. This is all written down by Mr. Gu Long in black and white, how could he not know?
Long Xiaoyun staggered back into the small building.
Lin Shiyin stretched out her hand to beckon him over, and Long Xiaoyun arrived in front of her mother and immediately became well-behaved. He is reluctant to make his mother sad, and he doesn't want to make his mother angry, where Lin Shiyin is there, he is always terrifyingly sensible, and he is like two people like outsiders before.
Lin Shiyin asked him what he talked about with Qiao Heng, Long He and his father once wanted to murder Li Xunhuan by the hand of Shangguan Jinhong, but he was unwilling to lie and deceive her, so he said selectively: "I didn't say anything, I just asked him not to come again, that guy talked about him left and right, and said what if you can, you would rather me be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life." β
Lin Shiyin's hand that was stroking Long Xiaoyun's back stopped.
Long Xiaoyun felt that something he didn't understand seemed to happen the moment he repeated that sentence, but it was as if nothing had happened.
He bit his lower lip and continued as if puzzled: "It's really ridiculous, if I want to do it, I will be a big man! At that time, I will let my mother live in a house bigger than Xingyunzhuang, and no one will want to bully our mother and son!"
Lin Shiyin didn't encourage him, nor did he pour cold water on Long Xiaoyun, so he hugged him like this.
The next day, it seemed like the same as before, but it was different.
Qiao Heng stood under the plane tree, raised his head slightly, and looked at the branches that no longer had many leaves. Then before leaving, he glanced back at Xiaolou.
This look was so natural, as if it came from the Nine Heavens God and the Heavenly Demon Buddha's light glance, and it happened to look into Lin Shiyin's eyes.
There are thousands of people in this world, men, women, young and old, and countless people of all kinds. Just as there are no two leaves in this world that are exactly the same, everyone has their own ideas, and everyone has their own ideas. How difficult it must be to find someone who is similar to your own thoughts, who really understands you and knows you, among these starry people!
However......
What if I found it?
Another day, Qiao Heng didn't come. But under the plane tree, there is a white camellia, like a cloud plucked from the sky, beautiful and unparalleled.
When another morning came, there was a branch of golden cinnamon under the plane tree, which exuded a rich fragrance.
On the third day, what appeared in Lin Shiyin's eyes was a bright red moon, and the thorns on the stem had been carefully cut off. It lay on the soft stone path like a drop of piercing blood, red and flamboyant.
Lin Shiyin didn't say anything, she picked up the flowers as she had done in the past two days, and walked to the house to insert/put them in the vase.
On the fourth day, Lin Shiyin pushed open the door of the small building, and unsurprisingly saw a flower under the plane tree. Unlike before, there is an extra piece of letter paper under the flower.
It was a lotus flower.
Unlike the three types of flowers that were in bloom before, the lotus flower is not in bloom at this time, and I don't know where it was specially picked. Since it is picked by heart, this is quite meaningful.
I don't know what Lin Shiyin thought, her face turned even paler. Her hands trembled a little, she opened the letter paper, and there was no word in it, but Lin Shiyin inexplicably understood what he meant.
ββI have a thousand words in my heart, and it is difficult to say a word, so I give a lotus branch, and a qiΔ heart is attached to it.
A sudden gust of wind and rain at night knocked the last few leaves of the plane tree to the ground.
Lin Shiyin held on to the railing of the small building, and habitually looked under the plane tree, where the young man who had not appeared for more than a few days was standing.
He also saw her, his always pale face, the moment he saw her, there was a smile that was shallow to the extreme, making people want to try their best to keep this smile for no reason, but this smile is like the snow falling on the fingertips of the winter sun, no matter how to keep it, it is impossible to succeed, it is longing for it.
The smile is contagious, seeing Qiao Heng smiling, Lin Shiyin unconsciously showed an equally faint smile. It's just that she smiled and smiled, and the corners of her eyes suddenly became sour and moist.
When Li Xunhuan saw the young gang leader of the Money Gang again, he vaguely felt that the young man in front of him had become completely different from the one he remembered.
The young man in the past was sharp, but inadvertently revealed a little immaturity and tenderness unique to young people, but now he has become more stable and introverted, and his every move is appropriate. If it were someone else, he might be deceived by his ironing appearance, and even think that he was a peaceful and amiable person, but Li Xunhuan was never included among these people.
Li Xunhuan could see that under the warm appearance, there was a heart that had already cooled down.
He stopped Qiao Heng, who had just left Xingyunzhuang.
Li Xunhuan's tired and gentle eyes looked at Qiao Heng and said, "It's already okay, don't tease her anymore." β
Qiao Heng was not surprised by Li Xunhuan's appearance, he knew that Li Xunhuan had actually been secretly caring about Lin Shiyin all along. He said, "You're wrong, I never toyed with her. Those who used the banner of 'I am for your good', never asked her wishes, and arranged a qiΔ for her on their own initiative, are the ones who really play with her. β
Li Xunhuan's body stiffened.
Li Xunhuan said: "However, the young gang master knows that sometimes, what a person likes is not necessarily beneficial to himself. β
Qiao Heng ignored his words completely, and just continued: "I think about what she thinks, think about what she thinks, like what she likes, worry about what she worries, I dare to say that in this world, among all the people she knows, the person who knows her heart best will only be me." Can you say I'm still toying with her? No one values her more than I do!"
This is simply changing the concept, but what Qiao Heng said is so reasonable.
For a while, Li Xunhuan couldn't find the words to refute Qiao Heng's words.
Qiao Heng saluted Li Xunhuan and said, "If there is nothing else, don't go down first." β
After this day, Qiao Heng met Lin Shiyin as usual.
They don't show much intimacy. The most over-the-top behavior was just Qiao Heng leaning on the plane tree, watching Lin Shiyin water the flowers and plants in the garden, and then when she was a little tired, he reached out and took the kettle and took care of the flowers and plants in the garden for her. The most intimate words are just to say "the weather is getting cold, don't forget to keep warm" when the weather turns completely cold.
It's just that no matter how much he takes care, Qiao Heng still inevitably contracted a light cough when the weather turned completely cool.
