Rujin drank the sobering soup in the diner's house, refused Ningxi's escort, and only came back in the evening. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Song Lian waiting in the courtyard.

"Auntie," Rujin said, "why are you still standing here at such a late hour?" ”

"Have you made a decision about the matter with Yu Xuan?" Song Lian asked.

"I want to stay here." Rujin said, "I have married him, and in this life, I can only be his wife, unless, he divorces me!" ”

"Since it's decided, I'll help you stay." Song Lian said, "Tonight, I will arrange for you to go to his room." ”

"No," Rujin said, "I still live here, and I won't go over there and annoy them." I only want this name, nothing else. ”

"Okay, whatever you want." Song Lian said, "If you need my help, don't be embarrassed to say, tell me." ”

Rujin smiled and nodded.

Diners live in a semicolon, Nian'er arranged the people on duty, and took Fugui to prepare to go home. She brought him home for the first time, and no matter what, the people who abandoned her were his parents and had nothing to do with him.

"Coming back?" Chang Sheng waited at the door, "I wanted to pick you up, but there was a guest at home, so I didn't go." ”

"Who's coming?" Nian'er walked into the courtyard and asked.

"I'll know when I go in, I'm here to find you." Chang Sheng smiled, "Leave the wealth to me." ”

Nian'er nodded and walked inside.

"Nian'er!" When the man saw Nian'er walking in, he hurriedly stood up and said.

"Lan'er?" Nian'er hurriedly greeted him, "What a rare guest, sit down." What to drink? ”

"No need," Lan'er sat down and said, "Brother Chang has already poured coffee just now." This world is a bit disturbing, right? ”

"Excuse me, when have you been so polite." Nian'er said with a smile.

"Actually, I'm here this time to find someone to talk to." Lan'er lowered her eyes and said, "Zhi'er married in such a remote place, and the rest of her friends are either still in the Lin family, or they are long gone in the capital." The only person I can think of is you. ”

"It's a privilege to be willing to treat me as a friend." Nian'er smiled, "To be honest, because of Ah Hao's matter, I always thought you were hostile to me. ”

Lan'er smiled: "I was ignorant back then, don't worry about it." If I have to be jealous of the woman Ah Hao has a crush on, then I have too many enemies. ”

"Ah Hao, is he still the same as before?" Nian'er asked cautiously.

Lan'er nodded helplessly: "Although I married him, I will never understand his mind." So, I stopped being reckless, and I didn't care who he liked. I'm just doing a good job of his wife, and I don't care about anything else. ”

"How did he treat you?" Nian'er asked.

Lan'er shook her head: "I don't know what is good. He and I respected each other like guests, and raised our eyebrows. But the more this happened, the stranger I became with him. He didn't treat me badly, and he made money to buy me food and clothing, but there were too few words between me and him. I often wonder if a husband and wife are strangers living together. ”

"Is he still working by Lin Yurui's side now?" Nian'er asked again.

"I don't know," Lan'er said, "I don't care where he goes every day, who he meets, and when he comes back." I'm afraid I'll be sad if I find out. ”

"Are you afraid he's going to see other women?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of," Lan'er smiled bitterly, "I already knew that he was a person, and not to provoke other women was not his character at all." But it's one thing to know, it's another to see it with your own eyes. I only seek that out of sight is pure. ”

"Don't be like this," Nian'er advised, "It's been so many years, and people will always change." If you don't believe me, you can look at me, look at Ning Xi Gege, and look at Brother Chang, which one is still the same as the one you knew back then? ”

"That's because you went to a distant place, and Ah Hao has always stayed by my side, and he won't change."

"Just because he's always by your side, you can't see his changes!" Nian'er said, "What's more, if you don't care about his affairs, how do you know that he is still the same as before?" ”

"I don't care about him," Lan'er said, "Gege did so many things for Lin Yurui back then, and what kind of end did he end up with?" Doesn't it say that things gather like and people are divided by groups? Ah Hao has served by the third young master's side for so many years, and there must be similarities in personality. I don't want to be attracted to him, I don't want to love him, I don't want to be the second Gege. ”

"Don't be like this," Nian'er said, "Back then, I also witnessed the whole process of Gege from being favored to being betrayed, and I saw more than you by Gege's side every day." But aren't I getting along with Brother Chang now? I don't think that all men in the world are worthy of love because I have a bad heart for men. ”

"That's because you love the right person." Lan'er said, "Brother Chang is affectionate and righteous, and he is a man who stands up to the sky. And Ah Hao is shrewd and sleek, just a lackey next to a playboy. ”

The two chatted for a while, and as it gradually got dark, Lan'er got up and prepared to leave. When he walked into the courtyard, Fugui hadn't left yet, but was learning martial arts with Chang Sheng. Nian'er took Lan'er to him and said to Lan'er: "By the way, this is Zhi'er's husband, Yu Fugui." He turned to Fugui again, "This is Zhi'er's friend, Lan'er." ”

The two men nodded in agreement. Fugui smiled: "Sister Lan'er, Zhi'er is really lucky, she has so many such good friends." ”

Lan'er said: "Bring Zhi'er next time, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a little." ”

Fugui said embarrassedly: "I won't tell you, Zhi'er is pregnant and can't come over for the time being." ”

"Then you're not around to serve her, why did you come here?" As soon as Lan'er finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just ...... Just wanted to congratulate Zhi'er ......"

Fugui smiled: "It's nothing, Sister Lan'er is right." Actually, I just want to learn some martial arts and go back to protect their mother and son. ”

Nian'er smiled, Lan'er still spoke so straightforwardly, but this hasn't changed at all.

Seeing off Lan'er, Fugui got up and said, "It's so late, I should go back too." ”

"What Lan'er said just now, don't take it to heart." Nian'er said, "She and Zhi'er are much better than me and Zhi'er, she is just too worried about Zhi'er." ”

"I know," Fugui said, "I am relieved that my mother takes care of her." ”

Hearing the word "mother", Nian'er was silent. After a while, she cautiously asked, "You...... Are your parents okay? ”

"It's fine." Fugui Road. With that, he turned to leave.

As soon as he took a few steps, he stopped, turned around, and couldn't help but say, "Sister Nian'er......"

"What's the matter?" Nian'er said.

"I hope you don't hate them, they have bitterness."

Nian'er was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be indifferent: "What are you talking about, I have nothing to do with them, how can I hate them?" ”

"You have." Fugui said, "If you say that, you still hate them." In fact, back then, ......"

"Brother Chang," Nian'er hurriedly interrupted him and turned to Chang Shengdao, "You give him a ride, the village is so dark, he doesn't know martial arts, and it's not good to go back alone." ”

"Got it." Chang Sheng followed the past.

Mao'er Hutong, a family far away from the Lin family.

Lan'er walked to the gate and saw that the lights inside were still on, so she hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to open the door.

"Coming back?" Ah Hao ran out of it, and the two slippers on his feet were red and white, and they were both bent in the same direction.

Lan'er nodded and walked inside.

Inside, she went straight through the living room, entered her own door, and slammed the door shut.

"Lan'er, where have you been?" Hao's voice came from outside.

"I didn't go far," Lan'er replied lazily, "you can rest." ”

"Can I come in?" Ah Hao knocked on the door.

Lan'er sat up from the bed, walked over and opened the door.

Ah Hao walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lan'er, I remember that you weren't like this before. ”

"What's wrong with me?" Lan'er asked rhetorically, "What was it like before, and what is it like now?" ”

"I can't tell," Ah Hao said, "I just feel that since I got married, you haven't been so enthusiastic about me." ”

Lan'er glanced at him, mechanically kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Is this okay?" If I'm still not satisfied, I can ......," she said, reaching for her own belt.

Ah Hao hurriedly shook her hand and said, "You obviously know that this is not what I want." ”

"What's that?" Lan'er asked, "Make it clear, no matter what, as long as I can do it, I will give it." ”

"I want your heart," said Hao, "I hope you'll be angry with me and jealous like you were when you didn't marry me, okay?" ”

"How can you say that," Lan'er said in surprise, "Is it because I haven't done well enough in the past few years?" ”

"No," said Hao, "it's because you've done so well, you're virtuous and generous, you don't have to be suspicious, and you're almost always responsive to me." But it's not like you, you're angry, you're going to ask, you're a flesh and blood person! ”

"I'll give you freedom, isn't that good?" Lan'er asked rhetorically.

"I don't want such freedom." Ah Hao said sincerely, "Compared to now, I would rather be bound by your side and only see you alone in my life." Believe it or not, my heart has been given to you, and I haven't looked for another woman since I got married, not once. ”

Lan'er didn't say anything more. Since getting married, she has heard countless such words. Unless she was stupid, she wouldn't believe this man's nonsense.

The next day, the Lin family.

"Guo Rujin, talk to me." Yu Xuan saw Rujin walking out of the room, and hurriedly greeted him and said.

"Okay." Rujin smiled, as if he were just a stranger.

There was no one else in the courtyard, and the two men stood face to face like this.

"I've thought about it," Yu Xuan said first, "You're still young, and you still have a long way to go." I made you wait for me for so long, and finally I came back from home outside, but I couldn't stand you. He pulled out a business card and handed it to her, "This is a friend of mine, who is now a professor at a university. I heard that you have read a book, so go for further study, it is a good opportunity. ”
