Chapter 111: Let's Go Home
Because of Shen Ruoqi's health, he rested for two days and delayed until the third day of the Lunar New Year before preparing to go to Li's house.
Today is particularly cold, probably because the temperature is lower on the snowmelt days after the snow stops. Shen Ruoqi was dressed very thickly, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands when he stood at the door.
The gifts prepared by Yuan Su'an were loaded into the car, and Shen Ruoqi was still very uncertain. I want to be a deserter all the way, and I wish I could keep walking on this road without stopping.
When the Xue family's old mansion arrived, Shen Ruoqi's palms were already sweating. Li Yunze turned his face to look at her, and covered the back of her hand like a relief: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Shen Ruoqi nodded, but he was still uneasy in his heart after all. Holding his hand, she took a deep breath and walked into the Li family, a big mansion that was no stranger to her.
Shen Ruoqi suddenly felt so embarrassed, he had always called Grandpa Li Zhi, and now he suddenly didn't know what to call him. His steps froze, and he froze in place and frowned.
One look was enough, Li Yunze knew what she was thinking, hooked her shoulders and said to Li Zhi: "Bringing Xiaoqi back today is not to ask for your consent. She wants your blessings, so she's going to accompany me on this trip. Whether you can accept it or not, she will be my wife. ”
Whether you can accept it or not, she will be my wife.
Shen Ruoqi turned his head to look at him, and for a while, all the tension disappeared invisibly.
"Chairman, Uncle Li...... I know that my current identity is embarrassing in the Li family, but we are serious, so I still hope to receive your blessings. ”
Shen Ruoqi felt strange to Li Zhi and Li Yunchen, but she really couldn't be so rational about Li Yunchen, after all, he was the best one in the Li family to her.
Li Yunze secretly glanced at his father, and Li Zhi kept his face dark and didn't speak. Li Yunchen coughed lightly, breaking the embarrassment of the silence: "Xiaoqi, this matter ...... Are you really thinking about it? Actually, we didn't mean to stop it, but ...... Do you really know each other?"
Shen Ruoqi turned his face to look at Li Yunze, he hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "Big brother is trying to talk about my illness?"
Shen Ruoqi pulled his clothes, turned his face to Li Yunchen and said seriously: "Uncle Li, he doesn't mind my past, and I don't care about his illness." We're not impulsive, we really want to be together. ”
Li Yunchen's expression became even more complicated, and he turned his head and glanced at his father again. With a long sigh, he said to Shen Ruoqi: "Xiaoqi, come with me for a while." Third, you have a good chat with Dad. ”
Is this going to be broken individually? Shen Ruoqi beat a drum in his heart again, and Li Yunze held his hand and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, the eldest brother is the only reasonable person in this family." ”
Shen Ruoqi nodded, of course she knew what kind of person Li Yunchen was: "You can say it well, but don't quarrel." "Otherwise, wouldn't she have become a disaster in other people's mouths that disturbed family discord and restlessness!
Li Yunchen took her to the study on the first floor, and when she closed the door, she didn't know what the father and son were talking about outside. I don't know if it's a deliberate arrangement by the Li family, Li Mudong is not at home today.
"Xiaoqi, there are some things that you may not know very well. Yun Ze didn't grow up in the Li family when he was a child, he was a little withdrawn and didn't like to interact with people very much. We always thought that in his life, he was probably going to be a single. ”
Li Yunchen said with a smile, and after laughing for a while, he regained his seriousness: "How much do you know about Yun Ze's condition?"
Shen Ruoqi didn't want to hide it, so he replied without thinking: "All." Uncle Li, I know all about his mother and the cause of his illness. Although I can't completely cure him yet, I won't give up on him easily, no matter what he becomes. ”
Li Yunchen frowned deeply: "Even if he can't give you happiness?"
Shen Ruoqi looked puzzled, why couldn't Li Yunze give her happiness? Even if he was emotionally unstable and prone to personality changes, that would not completely affect his normal life?
Besides, since she has been by his side for so long, he has given her a lot of happiness and touch. By his side, Shen Ruoqi felt that he was very happy, so he couldn't understand where Li Yunze started with this.
After listening to Shen Ruoqi's words, Li Yunchen's face was a little strange. I wanted to stop talking, and finally coughed lightly, which seemed to be difficult to say: "Xiaoqi, it's really inappropriate for me to ask this question, but now there is no way." I've treated you like a daughter since you were born, so the next question I'm going to ask may be embarrassing for you, but please answer me honestly. ”
Shen Ruoqi was a little frightened by his posture, and Mu Mu nodded.
Li Yunchen pondered for a while, and coughed again: "Have you had a relationship with the third child?"
No wonder Li Yunchen has been brewing for so long, this problem is indeed a bit ......
Shen Ruoqi blushed and shook his head, Li Yunchen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Is it because you don't want to or for other reasons?"
Yes?
This question...... How can Shen Ruoqi answer well?
Shen Ruoqi waved his hand with an embarrassed face: "No...... He didn't mean to force me, and I felt ...... It is best to ...... after marriage We used to live together, but we didn't cross that line as if we had a tacit understanding. ”
Li Yunchen nodded clearly, falling into his own contemplation.
"Xiao Qi, have you ever heard of platonic love?" Li Yunchen was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said this.
Of course she knew about platonic love, and because of the rumors about Li Yunze, she also asked Li Yunze seriously. At that time, she felt that she would not be able to enter into a sexless marriage with a person, because at that time she thought that she would have children in the future.
Li Yunchen's question really touched Shen Ruoqi's sensitive nerves, and she lowered her head and didn't answer immediately. His heart was so heavy, as if he was pressed by something, Shen Ruoqi sat a little anxious.
After a while, she raised her head and faced Li Yunchen: "Uncle Li, you won't ask me this inexplicably, right? So, you want to tell me that his body has ...... Questions?"
How many times did he and her come to the point, was it because he was out of affection, or he couldn't continue at all?
Li Yunchen tapped his fingers on the table several times and sighed lightly: "He does have this obstacle, probably because he witnessed his mother's suicide when he was a child. In addition, his mother suffered from severe depression, which also caused him a lot of damage. ”
Shen Ruoqi nodded, she understood: "Uncle Li, don't say it, I understand." ”
Li Yunchen didn't say any more, he looked at Shen Ruoqi with an apologetic expression: "So, I hope you think about it, this is related to your whole life." ”
If Shen Ruoqi really thought about it seriously before, now ...... Shen Ruoqi recalled in her mind what she had said to Li Yunze when she asked her, how did he answer her?
At that time, she said to Li Yunze, if the rumors are true, then you have harmed me. I don't plan to have a platonic love with my significant other for the rest of my life, nor do I plan to live a life in the empty shell of my marriage. So, will you hurt me?
And he said, No, I'm just going to be nice to you.
Can Li Yunze deceive her? If he can trust her so firmly, why can't she firmly believe in him?
The world is relative, and nothing is perfect. In this way, wouldn't it be more precious for them to have each other's mutilated beauty?
"Uncle Li, I thought very clearly. As long as he is by my side, it is enough that we can talk together, or we can hug and sleep together. No matter how vigorous it is, it will eventually return to peace, this is life. ”
After speaking, as if giving himself an affirmation, Shen Ruoqi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and his eyes also had a touch of light. Once the problem is seen, the whole person is really clear.
Li Yunchen was a little surprised, I really couldn't understand how a young girl like Shen Ruoqi would be willing to live such a life?
"Then his condition is also a trouble, and the psychiatrist and psychiatrist have not missed it, but it has no effect. We didn't expect that this question would lead to another problem for him. I'm afraid he can't do it until the problem in his heart is concerned. ”
This is also post-traumatic stress disorder, and Shen Ruoqi fully understands Li Yunze.
"Uncle Li, it's enough for me to know that we love each other. Shen Ruoqi said categorically.
Li Yunchen still wanted to persuade her a few more words, but there was a knock on the door.
"Didn't it bother you?" The person who knocked on the door and came in turned out to be Su Mei, and winked at Shen Ruoqi.
"Su Mei, why are you so free today?" Li Yunchen knew very well in his heart what Su Mei suddenly came over for today.
"Anyway, my garden hasn't opened yet, so I came here to visit the door for a New Year's greeting, and by the way, I can see if I can get a red envelope or two. Su Mei smiled brightly, Shen Ruoqi didn't expect that her ability to gag was also good.
Li Yunchen glanced at Shen Ruoqi, everything that should be said was spread out, if she still insisted on going her own way, he would have no choice.
Li Yunchen secretly snorted in his heart, Qi rumor, your daughter is older, I really can't control it.
Li Yunchen didn't say anything more, Su Mei came over and hugged Shen Ruoqi affectionately. Li Yunchen looked at the two of them and chuckled, pointed at Su Mei and said with a smile: "The third one's trick is really good, find you here to cover." ”
Su Mei smiled and shrugged: "No way, as his cousin, I can't cover my big nephew!"
Shen Ruoqi couldn't help but sneer, and suddenly remembered an old saying: The radish is not big and grows on the back (generation). This is appropriate for Su Mei, and it is also appropriate for Li Yunze.
The atmosphere in the living room was not as harmonious as in the study, and the smell of gunpowder was so great that it seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
Li Yunze walked over and held her hand, smiled at Su Mei, turned his face and whispered in Shen Ruoqi's ear, "Let's go home!"
Seeing that he was calm and relaxed, Shen Ruoqi asked him rhetorically: "You are not curious, you don't want to ask me, what did your eldest brother tell me?"
