Chapter 12 Blue as Snow in Memories
"Saying those old things about me is also delaying your time, young master, or...... Don't talk about it......", Yun Shunan turned his face and smiled at the young master who was sitting diagonally behind, and the mist in his eyes did not dissipate.
"Yun Bo, you see that you always talk like this, after so many years of getting along, you can still politely make me not know how to answer...... Okay, if you don't want to say it, then don't talk about it......", Lu Tangan replied a little angrily, although his eyes showed disappointment, but in his heart he was still more willing to respect Yun Bo and didn't want to force him.
"Young master, you misunderstood, it's not that I don't want to tell you, I'm really afraid that the story is too long, and you will get bored of listening to it...... If you really want to hear it, then I'll just say it, it's just ...... This suddenly made me speak, and I really don't know where to start talking about the appropriate ......."
In fact, since I got the envelope yesterday and saw this familiar address again, Yun Shunan, like Lu Tang'an, also couldn't sleep all night, too many past events came to mind, and many pictures were as clear as yesterday.
The people and events in his memories, these long-sealed pasts, disturbed his heart that he thought he had calmed down again.
"Someone you like...... Did you live here before?", Lu Tang'an tried to use questions to guide Yun Bo to tell the past that made him curious.
"Yes...... It's not ......", Yun Shunan fell into the memory and replied lightly.
"Yes and no, is it ...... to live here or not to live here."
"Ruxue is the daughter of a rich family, she is good-looking, she plays the guzheng well, and there are countless people who pursue her...... The year I met her, she was 20 and I was 24...... I love her at first sight like young master, you ...... to Miss Lin."
"She's a daughter...... You...... If I hadn't miscalculated the time, you would have been grandpa's full-time driver at that time?", Lu Tang Anxin calculated and reminded in a low voice.
Yun Shunan smiled a little bitterly and laughed at himself, "Yes...... At that time, I was already your grandfather's driver, and thanks to his old man's care, I didn't have to eat anymore, but ...... At that time, my savings were still different from those of Ruxue's family...... After getting acquainted, I learned that her pocket money for a day is my salary for a year."
"Huh? between you...... Is the gap so big?!",
"Young master, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that your grandfather gave me a small salary, on the contrary, your grandfather gave me a very good salary...... It's just that her family does ......".
"Then it seems that her family is indeed very rich...... It's just that there is such a big gap, how did you know each other?Could it be that you also met by chance like me and Gesheng?", Lu Tangan tilted his head, held his cheeks, looked at Yun Bo's side face with a well-behaved and cute look, and asked curiously.
"That's not it, your grandfather trusted me very much, and was willing to take me wherever he went, once they had a gathering of old friends, and made an appointment at Ruxue's house, your grandfather saw that I was standing behind him and was a little bored, so he approved me to go to the yard for a walk, and when I wandered aimlessly in the courtyard alone, I met Ruxue who played the guzheng in the courtyard flowers...... At that time, she was wearing a white dress, with long hair reaching to her waist, and when she leaned over to pluck the strings, she was beautiful like a fairy ...... in a painting."
Yun Shunan said, as if he had returned to the day when he first saw Ruxue, his eyes suddenly brightened, and a rare tenderness appeared on his face, and he stopped speaking for a long time.
"And then, you fell in love with her at first sight, what about her?" Lu Tang'an couldn't help but urge when he saw that he hadn't spoken.
Yun Shunan, who was interrupted from his memory, did not show displeasure, and smiled apologetically at Tang An, and then said: "Then I just stood in place, not knowing whether to leave or stay, until she finished playing a song and raised her head to stretch her neck and shoulders, and found someone who was looking at her like a fool......
That glance at each other, as if by magic, froze me in place, and then ...... She smiled at me, walked slowly towards me, stood still half a meter away in front of me, stretched out her hand to me generously, and said in a soft voice, "Hello~ My name is Lan Ruxue, what do you call it?", I still have to, at that time...... My heart really stopped beating for a few seconds......".
Lu Tangan looked at Yun Shunan's side face in disbelief, shook his head and asked, "Yun Bo, you still have such an emotional side, I really didn't expect that you could remember the first meeting decades ago so clearly...... No wonder you said such philosophical things yesterday, saying that you have everything for the rest of your life, the first life of love...... It's all your experience......."
"Yes, I remember everything, I remember everything, as if I remember the temperature of the air that day...... Her hair, her eyes, the curvature of her smile...... It's still clearly engraved in my heart, but I was too inferior at that time...... In the face of her friendliness and gentleness, the courage to muster up all her strength was not used to introduce herself to her, but turned around and ran ......away without looking back, "Now, thinking of the inferiority complex and cowardice at that time, Yun Shunan felt remorse in his heart.
"Ah...... I listened to what you said, why is it a bit like the reaction of the singer when he sees me, is it also out of shyness and inferiority, that the singer ran away when he saw me...... No, no, she was so fierce as soon as she stopped, shouldn't it be ......", Lu Tang'an just found some comfort for himself with his fantasy, and was immediately rejected by his rational self, sighing and looking at Yun Shunan, waiting for him to continue.
"At that time, I was in front of your grandfather, just like you are in front of me now, like a transparent person, and I can't hide my thoughts......
On the way back, your grandfather made it clear, kindly reminding me of the insurmountable gap between me and her.
And at that time...... She is already engaged, and her fiancé's family is better off than hers...... I remember that a few minutes after hearing this, I almost hit a pedestrian with my car...... Thanks to your grandfather, who was prepared in advance, reached out to help me stabilize the steering wheel, and loudly reminded me to brake ......".
When Lu Tangan heard the thrill, he couldn't help but sit up straight, with a pair of big eyes, staring at Yun Shunan's side face, and even his breathing slowed down unconsciously.
"After I went back, your grandfather gave me a week off, let me play at will, adjust my mood, I spent a week drunk and dreamed of death, and finally convinced myself not to think about the impossible again...... But who knows, when I go back to work...... I saw her again in your grandfather's study......".
"My grandfather's study?!, couldn't bear to see you trapped in love, so he helped you find her?".
"How so...... What a wise man your grandfather was...... How could he bear to let me fall deeper and deeper into the pursuit of the illusory mirror...... It's like snow...... After that meeting, she begged her father to allow her to come to your grandfather's place to borrow a few months of classical books...... As you know, your grandfather's study has a collection of books, many of which are unique to famous people...... Ordinary people don't want to borrow it, but there are not many people who are qualified to go into the study to read for a while...... It was also her father who really had enough friendship with your grandfather that allowed her to enter this study ......."
"What about you, can you usually go in and out of my grandfather's study freely?", Lu Tang'an asked curiously.
"I couldn't before, but the day she came, your grandfather called me to the study and told me in front of her that I didn't need to drive for him for the time being, and I only needed to accompany Miss Lan full-time, that is, Ruxue, to read in the study and listen to her dispatch ......."
