Chapter 122: The Old Man When He Was a Child
The next day, Lori's car stopped in front of An Nu's house.
Even if it was just a scene, An Nu was still well-dressed, and in addition to her luggage, she also held the morning newspaper she took from Blue Rose yesterday in her hand.
"I forgot to read it yesterday, I was afraid that I would be bored on the road, so I brought it. When she got into the car, she shook the newspaper in her hand at him, and then handed it to him: "It's a pity that Mrs. Lori pretends to love to learn, I can't read it, and Mr. Law read it to me." ”
"Yes, my beautiful lady. He took the newspaper and read it word by word: "The issue of the prohibition of gambling has been..."
"Stop, don't listen to this, listen to anecdotes. Ann interrupted him and pointed to the right side of the newspaper.
"Regarding Waqiu's belief, in the spiritual and cultural exchanges held by the three countries recently, it was learned that Waqiu people believe in the soul and firmly believe that if their soul is pure, they can possess the human body and coexist with it after death.
When Lori finished reading, he looked up and asked her, "Do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it, I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in anything as much as I come from. She immediately denied: "Maybe the people of Yuansen will believe it, but the people of Kanglai will never believe it." ”
"That's right. He only said one sentence, and An Nu didn't know which one he agreed with, so he agreed with both.
After reading the contents of the newspaper all over the place, but she hadn't reached her destination yet, she couldn't sit still a little and asked: "Yuansen is worthy of Yuansen, it's really far away..."
"Where is this, even if you sleep now, you may not be able to wake up. ”
Hearing Lori's words, An Nu was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky: "Sir, can I regret it?"
"Of course not, but I've brought a chessboard to relieve your boredom. "Lori took out a wooden box from the package, which contained a chessboard and chess pieces.
"I haven't played chess for almost ten years, can I change it to cards or something~"
"No, I can teach you, just to pass the time. Lori set up the chessboard and began to explain to Annu.
So An Nu fell asleep on the seat under the pressure of a bunch of theoretical knowledge and the chagrin of losing many handfuls in a row.
Lori looked at her sleeping face and put the blanket over her.
"It's really not progressing at all. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the book he was carrying and passed the time.
When An Nu woke up again, a touch of dusk color sprinkled on the coffee-colored blanket through the window screen, she rubbed her eyes, stunned, and remembered that it was now on the way to Yuansen.
"I'm hungry yet. She looked across from Lori, who had been sitting all day, but showed no signs of tiredness.
"It's coming soon, let's have a bread mat first. He handed her the jam bread he had prepared.
While eating bread, Annu looked at the scenery outside, there were no pedestrians and vehicles along the road, and several rows of white cherry trees were planted on both sides of the road, and whenever the wind blew, the petals would fall, either with the soil or with the spring breeze.
"It's nice to see very few views like this in Conradle. She muttered to herself.
"It's not very little, it's absolutely invisible, and such a beautiful scenery can only be feasted on in the far forest. He corrected her words.
"No, it's not, Conley has it, in a very remote place where you can't even find a post office. An Nu shook her head: "You haven't been there, so naturally you won't understand." ”
Hearing her say this, Lori didn't speak, and looked out with her gaze. balance
As the car drove into its destination, An-Nu looked out the window at the hazy mist, the white annex behind a finely carved silver fence, and the small fountain behind the door was surrounded by countless roses, almost every house.
She asked incredulously, "Here's... Nian'an Garden?"
"No, this is the Rose Garden, and Nian'an Garden is a name that my parents made up casually. He looked at her stunned expression, and a slight smug expression appeared on his face.
"You're... Lori, unbelievable, oh my God—" She leaned closer to him, taking a closer look at him.
"You're an afterthought, you don't remember me. He reached out and scratched her nose.
"I thought it just happened to be the same name, not only because you grew up, but..."
And this personality contrast is too great?!
Annu remembered what Lori looked like when she lived in the rose garden.
Elegant and courteous, sociable, and assisting in the affairs of the family—not him.
The second young master, who is introverted and polite, obsessed with art, painting, music, and talent—it's not him.
Every day, I ran out to play like crazy, climbed the wall, got dirt and was injured again, and I was stubborn and stubborn like a little street hooligan, and I wanted to beat him up when I saw it, and I grabbed his ears and yelled 10,000 times, what are you dragging, the little young master - this time it's him.
“... Why is my description so long. Although he said this, when he heard her description, he laughed twice: "It's really an unbearable past." ”
"By the way, I borrowed the money from my uncle and aunt before, and I didn't bring much with me this time, can you help me pay it in advance first? She brought up the incident she had been thinking about.
"No, the reason why they didn't tell you your real address is that they don't want you to return it, although you have not been in the rose garden for a long time, they also treat you like a daughter, and your room is still there. ”
Watching the car gradually drive into the courtyard, he added: "And they don't live here anymore, a few years ago my father was promoted, and the family moved to the center of the city, and this house was asked to come." ”
When An Nu learned that the person in front of her was Lori when she was a child, she immediately opened the conversation box and kept asking all kinds of questions: "That's the case, by the way, are you coming to Conrad because of Count Gunny? Why did you change your temperament all of a sudden~ How is everyone doing now? and..."
"That's true. ”
He didn't answer anything else, but her first question.
"The earl values our family, and hopes that one of the family can go to Kanglai with him, but the eldest brother will inherit the family business in the future, and the second brother is a typical Yuansen person, indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not ask for anything, originally the family wanted the eldest sister to go, because everyone is very worried about how you are doing in Kanglai, she has the best relationship with you, and naturally she is the first one to rush to the front, but unfortunately, I intercepted it sideways, and the earl considered that men are easier to do these things, so he agreed to replace the eldest sister with me. ”
"Why do you want to come to Conrad? It's not asking for trouble. ”
Thinking that although the relationship between the two was not bad, his eldest sister Lorna and her were like sisters, and even he could only be slightly behind, and the life in Kanglai really couldn't be compared with Yuansen, she wondered.
"Because of you, I miss you. "He made no secret of his emotions.
"Your honesty makes it really hard for me to think of you as the same person as Lori as a kid... Is this still the most stubborn young master of the Luo family?"
"People always have to grow, just like you, I haven't seen you so unrestrained when you were a child. ”
"Hahahaha, hateful!"
Finding the beauty of her childhood again, she let go of her previous precautions against him and began to eagerly look forward to returning to the rose garden for the past few days.
