Chapter 832: Ritual
The early spring night still has a hint of coolness, but it is not the biting and wet feeling of winter.
This kind of air breathes like a mist of water.
Unconsciously, it has been almost a year since he came here, and Qu Yang has become the general manager of the hot spring hall from the waiter at the beginning, coordinating various departments for the management of the young lady.
Time is fast, and people change quickly.
He didn't expect that he paid the tuition fee to apprentice and was determined to be a professional soft rice man, but now he has become a senior white-collar worker.
It's funny to think about it, I gave birth to the face of a little white face, but it was not the life of a little white face.
Fortunately, he likes his current job very much, he is serious and busy every day, he can see the people he likes every day, and even get along day and night.
He was not only a close confidant of the young lady, but also a private friend.
He was entitled to enter the lady's boudoir, and occasionally had a snack and chatted late into the night.
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he had no family, and he was fortunate to spend New Year's Eve with Tao Keer, teaching her how to make dumplings and learning the New Year's customs here.
It felt like he had never felt before, what the future would be, he didn't do greed and extravagance, but it was definitely not too bad. Because the hot spring hall also rejected the Baile City he hated as he wished, and reached a cooperation with Lin Bao.
Just tonight.
personally led people to greet Lin Bao at the main gate, and he called Brother Bao warmly.
"From now on, it's all my own. ”
"From now on, it'll be free. He was joking, but Lin Bao seemed very calm.
Probably to show a serious attitude towards cooperation, Miss invited him to dinner tonight, very formal.
It's just that the time period is a bit late...... It's almost nine o'clock.
Qu Yang felt that this dinner was probably a conversation and a clear explanation of the content of the cooperation, and a contract might also be signed to ensure the trust and interests of both parties.
In order to make Miss have face tonight, he personally supervised the layout of the back kitchen and the entire room, and after Lin Bao entered the room, he saw Sato come out of the young lady's room, and Sato seemed to change into a bright new kimono.
Qu Yang asked the people around him strangely, "Will Sato go there for dinner later?" ”
Her current status is not as good as Qu Yang's.
The woman on the side shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that Qu Yang, who was busy, saw a white shadow flash and enter the living room, and he frowned suspiciously.
The young lady who gets along day and night, he is very familiar with it, and the white shadow should be Miss Tao.
How do I wear a white kimono?
He didn't know very much, so he was a little curious, so he made an excuse and pushed open the door of the living room, only to find that there was no one in the room.
But the sliding door of the living room to the courtyard is opened, and the layout here is like this, every room has a courtyard, and the quiet and pleasant rural home.
Qu Yang walked out along the courtyard and saw a jumping stone path, that road he knew, he was familiar with everything here, that road was leading to the backyard, the backyard of the hot spring villa, it was the private place of the young lady, guests could not enter, but the island women here could go.
I heard that it was a shrine that was built by their customs.
What to do over there?
Qu Yang walked over curiously, only to feel that today was a little strange, everything he tried his best to prepare, before it started, Miss and Lin Bao went to the backyard mysteriously.
When he came to the backyard for the first time, Qu Yang was immediately shocked, and he found that the women in the hall were all wearing kimonos, sitting neatly here, looking ahead together.
And the scene in front made Qu Yang dumbfounded.
Pure white Japanese kimono with a ring-like veil, Tao Keer is kneeling there, next to Lin Bao in a kimono, while the two people face the shrine, and Sato is presiding over a certain ceremony.
"That's our national bride's wedding dress, called Bai Wuji. An old woman spoke.
"What?" Qu Yang's eyes widened, almost unsteady.
"Mr. Qu, didn't Miss tell me about tonight?"
"Tonight...... What's the matter? Isn't it a contract? ”
"Contract ......" The woman probably didn't speak well enough, thought for a while, covered her mouth and smiled, the wrinkles on her face were stacked, "Yes, they are signing now." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
As the chief housekeeper of the hot spring pavilion, he didn't know it at all.
The woman whispered: "Miss inherits the will and will of Boss Tao, she wants to continue to do this path, in order to maintain the greatest relationship of trust, she wants to become Mr. Lin's lover, just tonight." ”
"What...... What the. ”
Boom, like thunder struck his mind, an indescribable coolness instantly froze his whole body from his lower abdomen, and Qu Yang stood like a piece of wood, standing on the outermost part of the body in a daze.
I couldn't speak, and I felt cold in my stomach even when I breathed.
Qu Yang's face was pale, his brain was blank, and he saw Tao Ke'er and Lin Bao completing the special ritual, and he collapsed on the ground in a gloomy manner.
The goddess who is in her heart and soul is given to others for nothing...... In the choice of the whole thing, he was trying his best to win over Lin Bao, trying to make Tao Keer not choose Baile City, but in the end, the goal was achieved, but what was ushered in was to send the goddess to someone else's bed with his own hands.
Why......
Everything he worked hard for, for Tao Keer to be able to support her career, for her to be able to stabilize her life, and for her to be able to ...... There is a chance in the days to come, and she has more progress.
Everything came to an abrupt end, and he stabbed himself.
The fact that it was too cruel made Qu Yang feel like he was pierced by an ice pick.
His depressed expression was seen by the women on the side, and they didn't care too much, although they all knew that this young and promising Qu Yang had that kind of meaning for Miss, and Miss didn't seem to be bad to him.
But the facts can't be changed, no matter which side they choose in the end, they all know that the young lady has to pay herself for the entire hot spring hall and walk on the path that Boss Peach once had.
This is her fate, or whether she is burdened with everyone's interests, she can't choose.
These women have long been numb to this, and even take it for granted.
No one could have imagined that the two young men and women who were pushed in front of the shrine were burdened with the interests of a team and had to make a choice.
Maybe she noticed something, Tao Keer, who was in the ceremony, suddenly looked back, and instantly met Qu Yang's desperate eyes.
She subconsciously frowned and immediately turned away.
Qu Yang's complicated mood was stabbed again, maybe the young lady was also helpless, otherwise this matter would have been told to him, and there was no need to hide it.
The painful emotions were directly doubled.
He laughed miserably and staggered away from the scene, he shouldn't have come here, and Mademoiselle didn't want him to come.
That is true.
Oh, she's so beautiful today.
The pink face, the red lips of the cherry mouth, the embellishment of a tear mole, the pure white kimono and the hairstyle cut by her princess, as if she were a pure Japanese princess, everything is so picturesque, but it does not belong to him.
Fleeing to a room where no one was in a daze, Qu Yang picked up a pot of wine, drank it in a big gulp, and then covered his heart, wanting to cry and laugh.
The purpose of his original visit was to soak in the charm of Boss Peach, but he accidentally stumbled into it and witnessed the true face of Peach Kerr.
What started with bad intentions turned into sincere companionship.
He laughed at himself for being stupid.
On the other side, after the ceremony at the shrine ended, Sato took Momo Kerr's hand and smiled warmly, "More beautiful than my mother." ”
"I'll take care of myself. ”
"Go ahead. ”
The kimono princess took Lin Bao's hand and looked calm, "Let's go, let's go eat." ”
"Good. ”
Lin Bao was also surprisingly calm today, the two returned to the living room together, the high-level dinner was ready, no one bothered, only the two of them.
"Why do you have this kind of ceremony, a Japanese wedding? Lin Bao looked at her snow-white kimono.
"I'm married, and I don't plan to get married, of course it's not a wedding. ”
"What's that. ”
"Because I was my first man, I felt the need. ”
She needs a ritual to say goodbye to the girl in her heart, and in the days to come, she will leave the word innocence forever, in the eyes of the world, her identity should be spurned, but in terms of interests, she made the best choice and began to inherit her mother's path.
Lin Bao nodded, "Okay, eat." ”
"Have a drink. ”
