Chapter 13 I don't know what to do, and I go crazy
"That's not right...... You just said that my grandfather couldn't bear to chase you after the mirror, and he was afraid that you would fall deeper and deeper, why did he take the initiative to create a chance for you to be alone in a blink of an eye......", Lu Tang'an asked in confusion the more he listened, and asked puzzled.
Yun Shunan sighed suddenly, turned his face to look at the slightly swaying leaves blown by the breeze outside the window, as if talking to himself, and muttered back: "This world ...... If there is anything that cannot be stopped, love is a kind of ......".
"Yun Bo...... What you said was so profound that I didn't understand ......".
"I was also as curious as you, so I took the opportunity to ask your grandfather what his purpose was for doing this, and your grandfather explained to me that from his standpoint, he would naturally think more about me, after all, I was his person, so he used the clearest words to make me sober up at the beginning, and naturally he would not help me and Ruxue create a chance to meet again......
He was afraid that my wishful thinking would end up bruising all over my body, but when Ruxue appeared in front of him, he knew that I was not wishful thinking, or that Ruxue was more affectionate than me...... In such a situation, there is no way for him to stop between me and her ...... unkindly."
"But when she is already engaged, grandpa still acquiesces to your ambiguous relationship...... This ......", Lu Tangan was a little embarrassed, always felt that his grandfather's operation was strange, but he didn't dare to question it clearly.
Yun Shunan naturally knew the meaning of his words, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a firm gaze: "Your grandfather's personality has no flaws, you don't have to doubt this...... Ruxue's marriage was a family marriage without her consent, and she and her fiancé had not even met in person, and the gentleman was still studying abroad at the time, and it would take two or three years to come back ......".
"Family Marriage...... What era is it, and the matter of the arranged marriage of the parents? It is incredible that you can get engaged without even seeing each other......", Lu Tangan shook his head in shock.
Yun Shunan glanced at him again and again, but after all, he didn't say the words that would make him uneasy.
"Master, can I smoke a cigarette?", he asked softly.
"Absolutely".
Yun Shunan got permission, took out the cigarette case in his pocket, skillfully took out one, put it to his mouth and lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly and long spit out the smoke in his mouth outside the car window......
Lu Tangan looked at him, and suddenly felt that at this time, he exuded a sad and charming atmosphere.
With Yun Shunan's own conditions now, as long as he is willing, he still has a lot of high-quality partners, but he is unwilling, so he has to stick to the people in his memories and compete with his own persistence.
When he finished his cigarette, he continued what he had just said.
"Young master, family marriage was a common phenomenon between big families at that time, and in the case of strong alliances, 1+1 has the possibility of being equal to 3 or even equal to 5 ......."
"1+1=3?1+1=5?only if you are wrong......".
"Young master, you are still young, and the arithmetic problems of life are not calculated like this...... One day, you'll understand."
"You always said that one day I would understand, and I really want to understand everything as soon as possible, so that I won't always be unable to understand the meaning of your words", Lu Tangan said helplessly.
"When that day comes, probably the time when you don't understand anything will be what you miss the most...... Look at me, it's too far away, so let's continue the story just now......
During the months when Ruxue borrowed from your grandfather's study, we read books together and drank tea together...... Even if you sit with each other looking at each other without saying a word, you won't feel bored...... On the contrary, I feel that the air is full of sweet smells......
It's a pity that her mind was finally discovered by his father...... Her father was furious, and angrily approached your grandfather and begged him to fire me immediately...... And said many things that hurt and threatened me, but your grandfather, instead of dismissing me, stood in my shoes, said many words of defense for me, and stood in front of me when her father rushed at me with his fist...... You can imagine how much his father hated your grandfather and me at that time......
"Grandpa used to be so domineering...... And then what about ......".
Then Ruxue was confined to her home by her father, and they contacted her fiancé and asked him to come back immediately and get married early...... When I heard the news, I was going crazy, thinking only about how to get her out......
I wouldn't have been so crazy if I hadn't gotten it in the first place, but how could someone who had already seen the light endure the endless darkness? I guess she felt the same way......
Later, I took advantage of the darkness to climb into the backyard of her house, and in the middle of the night, I climbed up the pipe to her window...... Speaking of which, I have to thank that monitoring equipment was not widespread at that time, and her family didn't expect that I would have to climb such a high back wall ......."
"You're too ...... It blew me away...... I really can't see that you were so brave back then...... So what were you going to do when you climbed over the wall? You didn't want to pull her over the wall, did you...... She's just a weak girl no matter how you say it......".
"No, I just threw a letter into her through the gap in the window, and I agreed with her on the time and place of elopement, and I told her that I would wait for her every night in front of the wonton stall in the back alley of her house, and if she didn't come, I would wait like this every day......
"And she...... Is it coming at last?"
"Here it is, on the 16th day, she ran towards me in the darkness of the night......".
When Lu Tangan heard this, his nose suddenly became sore, and his eyes began to heat up, he was trying to hide his emotion, but he saw that Yun Shunan's cheek had quietly slipped a tear.
The two men, who were 31 years apart in age, sat quietly like this, each surging with excitement, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Lu Tangan secretly swore that in this life, he would do the same to Lin Gesheng, guarding, waiting, and loving wholeheartedly.
"Yun Bo, is this the place where you lived after you eloped?, is it also in this 'Evening Flower Hutong' where Ge Sheng lives?", Lu Tang'an saw that Yun Shunan's mood was almost calm, and asked again.
"It's not this alley, it's the alley next to it, that alley is called 'Zaohua Hutong', which is very similar to this alley, so I just saw you walking side by side in the alley, and in a trance, it seems that I saw the previous me and Ruxue ......", Yun Shunan barely squeezed out a smile, and the whole person still couldn't escape from the memories.
"'Early Flower Alley', 'Late Flower Alley'...... The name of this shabby alley is really interesting...... One morning and one night, it was like a battle, and then what happened to you, didn't you elope with her here, and why did you come back to your grandfather later......
"Yes, I eloped here, because her father had been guarding against her eloping with me, so he confiscated all her money and jewelry......
And all my savings are actually not much, we can't live in a good neighborhood, and finally found this cheap street with cheap rent, rented a small courtyard in Zaohua Hutong, and the two of us lived a very happy life together......
However, we have never had the same room, even if there are only two quilts in winter, and it is so cold that I have to squeeze into one quilt to cover the two quilts to keep warm, I still haven't crossed the thunder pool......
It's not that she's unwilling, it's that I'm unwilling...... Because I can't do this until I'm able to marry her, and at the end of the day, I'm scared......
I am afraid that one day she will have had enough of this poor life, regret it, and want to leave, afraid that her future husband will look down on her because of her incompleteness...... How can I tolerate others looking down on her...... She's a fairy as beautiful as a painting...... But I dragged her into the mortal ......."
