Qiu Yingsheng listened to Ah Cheng's words, put down the Jinpa in his hand and asked, "Did Ah Lan say anything?"

"Sister Alan said that she had served Miss Snow Mark for so many years and had never seen our young lady suffer such a grievance, all the subordinates were present at that time, and the eldest young master didn't care about our young lady's feelings at all, and just yelled at her like that, it was really undeserved. ”

"Go and get ready, I'll eat with them today. ”

"Yes. "Since the Eight Immortals Table was changed to a marble long table, the distance between Lan Xue and Qiu Ruoyu seemed to have become farther again.

Qiu Yingsheng usually eats in his own study, so the two of them sit at the front and back ends of the table, and the silence is a little scary.

Today, Qiu Yingsheng had dinner with them, but the silence didn't seem to change because of one more person.

Qiu Ruoyu looked up at Xue Zhen, who was eating quietly, and said lightly: "Why haven't you worn the kimono sent by Kurosawa two days ago?" "Snow marks on weekdays, except for the blue dress and black skirt of the student uniform, is a plain cheongsam, she is not like other ladies, she doesn't even wear a dress, let alone a Japanese kimono.

Qiu Ruoyu put down his chopsticks and said to Ah Lan, who was standing behind Xue Zhen, "Ah Lan, you came from Ye Mansion with Miss." ”

"Yes. Alan nodded cautiously.

"Is this what you do? Miss is unhappy and has a temper tantrum, can you still stand like this? Why don't you kneel down like Miss admit your mistake!" Qiu Ruoyu suddenly got up and looked at Ah Lan coldly.

"Young Master, I'm ······"

"Kneel!" Before Alan could finish his words, Qiu Ruoyu got up and roared at himself.

Alan was so frightened that he suddenly knelt behind the snow-stained chair

"I was wrong, miss. Snow Scar hurriedly got up and helped Ah Lan up

"Hurry up, Sister Alan. Qiu Ruoyu's cold gaze looked directly at Ah Lan

"Did I get you up?" Ah Lan knelt down again, and she didn't get up no matter how much Xue Zhen helped her. Qiu Ruoyu's expression was extremely calm at this time, and he said in the same calm tone: "In the future, you will serve Miss well, this is not Ye Mansion, you can't help but do whatever you want." Whatever you want to say and do, listen to the master here. In the future, don't talk to me in that tone again. Got it?" Qiu Ruoyu looked at Ah Lan, but every word he said was to Xue Zhen.

Xueji is a smart girl, how could she not know the meaning of Qiu Ruoyu's words. She helped Ah Lan up again, looking at Qiu Ruoyu's eyes that were as clear as ice at this time, she nodded slightly and said softly, "Got it." After listening to Xueji's words, Qiu Ruoyu returned to his seat very satisfied and continued to eat, and Xueji also returned to his place and still ate quietly.

Qiu Ruoyu glanced up at Ah Lan

"I'll wait for Miss Shi to try that kimono later, and if you make Miss unhappy again······"

"Yes, young master. Ah Lan must serve the young lady well. Ah Lan was so frightened by Qiu Ruo that he had lost the ability to think, so he just nodded again and again.

Qiu Yingsheng's face turned pale and coughed lightly, he put down his chopsticks and said to Qiu Ruoyu: "What is this? What's wrong with the eldest brother? Dad said that the two Qiu Ye families are not divided between you and me." What's more, from childhood to adulthood, no one can force snow marks. Qiu Ruoyu slightly curled the corners of her mouth and said to Xue Zhen: "Xue Zhen, did I force you to do something you don't want to?" Xue Zhen had no expression on her face, but her hands were tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, she didn't look directly at Qiu Ruoyu but stared at the tablecloth and said lightly: "No." Qiu Yingsheng looked at the snow marks with concern and said, "It's okay with the snow marks, if you don't like it, just say it." Big brother won't let you do what you don't like. Xue Zhen picked up the chopsticks and said while picking up the vegetables: "Brother Yingsheng, let's eat." Qiu Ying wanted to speak and stopped, so he could only shake his head helplessly and continue to eat.

Qiu Ruoyu took a shrimp and put it on the snow-stained plate and said coldly: "Don't lose your temper, eat it." Snowmark glanced at her plate, and an indescribable coldness flashed in her eyes, and she preferred that he ignore herself, and let herself finish the meal quietly and go upstairs.

Why, are they the way they are? Why did they become the way they are?

When he was a child, he could be free in front of him with happiness and sorrow and even willfulness, and he never forced himself to do what he didn't like, but he always catered to her.

He likes hide and seek, and he must too. He doesn't like fishing, and he certainly doesn't, even though he loves fishing the most and hates hide and seek the most······ When he first arrived at Qiu's Mansion, some people would secretly say that he was called Huazi under the fence, and it was he who told her that he was the most noble lady.

Whoever the owner is, she doesn't need to send someone to the fence, because this is her home······ It's just that everything has changed now.

He is no longer Brother Ruoyu, but here

"New owner". A constant reminder to himself that he is just the head of a family of people who are being taken in under the fence.

"What are you doing in a daze? Qiu Ruoyu looked at the snow marks in a daze, and said impatiently.

Xue Zhen quickly flashed back from his memories, looked at Qiu Ruoyu's extremely cold eyes, and smiled shallowly

"Do you eat shrimp a lot in Japan?"

"Yes. Qiu Ruoyu replied coldly.

"That's right. Snow Scar suddenly laughed for no reason. Lan Xue's sudden laughter made Qiu Ruoyu very disgusted

"No one has ever taught you that it's polite to eat food when someone else serves it to you?"

"Nope. Snow Mark replied without hesitation.

"Then you know now, I hope that all the people in my Qiu family are respected. So everyone has to understand the rules and etiquette. Although your surname is Ye, since you live with us, you must understand the rules and regulations of the Qiu family. In the past, your father spoiled you too much, but from now on, you must learn how to be a person who understands the general situation and etiquette and does not embarrass the Qiu family. Snow Scar was silent, adding the shrimp on his plate, with a very self-deprecating smile on his face.

"What, do you want me to feed you?" Qiu Ruoyu said coldly as she no longer looked at her as she put vegetables into her bowl.

"No, I don't bother you. Xue Zhen opened his mouth and was about to put the shrimp in his mouth, but was stopped by Qiu Yingsheng.

Qiu Yingsheng's voice was a little weak, but he used all his strength to stop the snow marks

"Xuezhen, what are you doing!" Qiu Yingsheng looked directly into Qiu Ruoyu's eyes and said, "Dad, we won't eat shrimp in the future, that would be very unfair to Sister Xuezhen." She would be sad to see us eat and not be able to eat herself. I decided, I won't eat shrimp in the future, I won't eat snow marks, and I won't eat either. Qiu Ruoyu listened to Qiu Yingsheng's words and asked puzzledly: "Yingsheng, what are you talking about strange things?"

"Big brother, that's not what I said. Do you really remember? This is what you said yourself when you were a child. Before, you loved shrimp, and since Snow Scar came, you knew she would be allergic to shrimp, so you said those things to Daddy at dinner. ”

"Really? I forgot. Qiu Ruoyu's index finger slid across his chin and replied nonchalantly to Qiu Yingsheng, and then looked at the snow marks

"Don't eat it. Xueji put down his chopsticks tremblingly, got up and said respectfully, "Excuse me, can I go up?"

"Hmm. Qiu Ruoyu responded coldly. Snow Scar turned back to Ah Lan, who never dared to look up, and said, "Let's go up." Ah Lan followed Xue Zhen upstairs, she didn't dare to look back at the expression on Qiu Ruoyu's face, she had to admit that the previous eldest young master and the current eldest young master were indeed two people.

Qiu Yingsheng turned back to Ah Cheng and the other subordinates behind him and said, "You guys go down first." "Snow Mark and Ah Lan went upstairs, and the rest of the people went out, leaving only the brothers.

Qiu Yingsheng looked at Qiu Ruoyu, who was comfortably putting vegetables on the plate, and suddenly said, "You obviously remember it." Big brother, it's just the two of us, can't you say it?" Qiu Ruoyu didn't look at his face, and said casually

"What?"

"You remember every word of what I just said. Although Qiu Yingsheng was weak and haggard, he was full of confidence when he said this.

Qiu Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, just chuckled and shook his head.

"Just now, when Snow Mark was about to eat that shrimp, I saw your hand under the table clenched into a fist, and I almost heard the sound of the bones······ You're worried about her, you're afraid she'll really eat it, right?" Qiu Ruo was stunned for a moment and immediately lowered his head to eat as if nothing had happened.

Qiu Yingsheng sighed softly and said, "Could it be that you have to wait until I die······" Before Qiu Yingsheng finished speaking, Qiu Ruoyu slammed his chopsticks on the table, his eyes full of unwilling resentment

"What are you talking nonsense!" Qiu Yingsheng was not alarmed

"It's true, isn't it? No one can live a hundred years with tuberculosis. ”

"I don't care. No matter how much it costs or how much it costs, I will definitely make you better. I want you to live a long life. Qiu Yingsheng didn't answer, just smiled faintly.

"What, you don't believe me?"

"Look, you're still the big brother who loves me as much as you used to. Why did it change when you arrived at Xueji?" Qiu Ruo was silent, just lowered his head and put vegetables on Qiu Yingsheng's plate

"You have to eat more. Qiu Yingsheng pushed the food in front of him aside and said, "I'm full, I'll go back to the study first." Qiu Yingsheng got up slowly and walked forward slowly, Qiu Ruoyu didn't look at him, he looked at the place where Xueji had sat just now and said, "If, I said that I love Xuezhen and love her very much, when she was still a little girl." Can you believe it?" his tone was very indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations.

Qiu Yingsheng stopped and didn't look back, Qiu Ruoyu couldn't see his smiling expression. Qiu Ruoyu continued: "But, now, it is my wish to love her······ If you don't want to eat with me, go back and take a break. Qiu Yingsheng still didn't look back, and after listening to his words, he continued to walk forward until Qiu Ruoyu couldn't hear his footsteps······

"Miss, have some snacks, I know you didn't have a good dinner. Alan placed a plate of snacks on the table.

"Sister Alan, I don't want to eat. Alan's tone suddenly became very strange

"Please, miss, eat some. Xue Scar felt that Ah Lan's tone was strange, so he put down the book in his hand, and when he turned around, he saw that Ah Lan's tears were falling one by one.

Xue Zhen hurriedly got up and let Ah Lan sit on his chair and asked, "Sister Ah Lan, why are you crying?" I know you were wronged just now, don't be sad Sister Ah Lan. It's all my fault, I'm sorry. Ah Lan held the hand of the snow mark and sobbed, "It's me who is sorry for the young lady." Although Ah Lan is stupid, I'm not stupid, what the eldest young master said to me just now was actually said to the young lady, Ah Lan can hear it. The eldest young master has changed, and he is so fierce to the young lady. Seeing that the young lady is sad but can't help you, I've been by your side for so long in vain. ”

"Sister Alan······" Snow Scar suddenly seemed to want to say something to Ah Lan, but she stopped talking.

"Miss. ”

"Nothing, go to sleep. Alan wiped her tears and said, "I'll wait for Miss to rest." ”

"I'm not sleepy yet, Sister Alan go to sleep. ”

"Huh?"

"Go to sleep, get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, forget all the words I'm sorry for. Okay?"

"But Miss······" Alan also wanted to say something more to Snow Marks, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

"By the way, let's take the snacks away. ”

"Yes. Ah Lan knew that Snow Marks was quiet alone, so she had to shake her head helplessly and leave.

It was late at night, and Snow Marks did not fall asleep and did not stay in the room. She sat in the garden pavilion in a single dress, looking out at the starless night sky.

When I was a child, every time I told Qiu Ruoyu that I wanted to watch the stars together, I always fell asleep deeply. Snow Mark also believes that it is impossible for a person like herself, who sleeps until dawn, to have the opportunity to look at the stars.

Unexpectedly, now I can't sleep and come out to look at the stars. It's just that when he couldn't see it when he was a child, Qiu Ruoyu always described the starry sky, but now that he is under the stars, he only sees the loneliness of the crescent moon······
