Chapter 55: Unspoken Words
The young man glanced back, and after Lin Yu took the opportunity to see his face clearly, he was suddenly shocked, and the words he was about to say also stopped in his mouth.
"Brother Cheng Yi?" Lin Yu's face changed greatly, and his subconscious name slipped out of his lips, but his breath was so weak that Qingqing beside him didn't hear it. It's also a shame that it's night, and no one notices her face when she's in a darker place.
Basically, every girl secretly liked someone when she first fell in love, and Lin Yu was no exception. The only person she has had a crush on for the first time is her brother next door, Cheng Yi, who is five years older than her, and he is also a childhood sweetheart. Cheng Yi has not only always been the pride of the Cheng family, but even the people around him did not praise him, Lin Yu also had a vague good impression of him at that time, and Cheng Yi seemed to have always been very affectionate to her. Cheng Yi went to the National University of Defense Technology, and he didn't go home many times, and he stayed for a short time, but he didn't forget to bring something to Lin Yu every time. Then when Lin Yu was seventeen years old, the Cheng family received a desperate bad news, several strangers came to the Cheng family, and then accompanied by Cheng Yi's urn.
Lin Yu didn't know what the specific situation was, anyway, Cheng Yi seemed to be sacrificed for some confidential mission. But such a fruitless crush that lasted from the age of fourteen to the age of seventeen ended in tragedy. Even if he knew very well in his heart that Cheng Yi probably wouldn't like himself who was five years younger than him, after Cheng Yi died, he didn't seem to have that heart-rending pain. But many times in the middle of the night, I couldn't help but dream of the last time I saw him, probably regret, regret not saying what he said, regret not letting him know his mind. Regret didn't even have a chance to be rejected.
Every time I think of him, it is an indescribable sadness, but this time I suddenly saw someone who looked so similar to him, Lin Yu inevitably had an idea that he could be reborn again after he died. What about Cheng Yi? He sacrificed his life to protect state secrets, isn't he more qualified to be reborn than himself?
When Lin Yu thought about it, he became distracted. Qingqing beside him also noticed Lin Yu's gaffe, and asked a little strangely, "Xiaoyu?" What happened to you? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, this son, do you really want that lantern?" Lin Yu said.
"I don't have to." A familiar voice sounded, almost shuddering, "I'm curious, though. Why did you guess the lantern riddle before and let the store hang there? ”
"Because there were still a lot of people who wanted to see it, and there were children crying." Lin Yu subconsciously replied, "So when the crowd is almost gone, it's not bad for me to get it back when I go back." If you really like it, I'll give it to you. All I need is that prize. ”
"Not really." The boy listened to Lin Yu's words, looked at her carefully, and then smiled, "I didn't expect you to not only look good, but also have a good heart." ”
"Seventh Prince, we don't have much time, we have to rush back." The guard beside the boy suddenly reminded, "It's not good to go back late." ”
"That's right." The young man nodded and smiled. "Then little girl, I will have a chance to see you again in the future."
"By the way, I still don't know the name and surname of the prince of Lu Dao?" Although it was still very abrupt, Lin Yu still couldn't help but hurry up and asked.
I didn't want the boy to wave his hand, and got on the horse without speaking, and the guard was even more polite when he spoke. "Want to climb a tree? It's not that easy. ”
Qingqing was a little angry, but Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "That son, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask." ”
The boy looked back and smiled, but at the age of ten **, there was a kind of suave taste, "Next time, I'll tell you next time we meet." ”
"I really think I want to climb up to the princes and nobles." Lin Yu was a little angry when he saw that the people had left, but he immediately became depressed again, the capital is so big, and it is conservatively estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of people, the chance of meeting Lu again is too small, and even if he meets Lu again, the other party may not tell his identity, should he still be tempted directly? Brother Cheng Yi's favorite food and favorite flowers, by the way, he should have asked just now, but if he asked, the other party may not answer truthfully.
Lin Yu sighed deeply, lowered her head and walked slowly along the road, Qingqing wanted to ask, hesitated, but still didn't speak, she didn't know Lin Yu for a day or two, Lin Yu is not only gentle and generous, but also an optimist, and his mood is rarely depressed. Could it be that he really fell in love with the son who was very noble at first sight, Qingqing recalled Lin Yu or Lin Ruoyu's bad record, and suddenly felt that he was very responsible for pulling Lin Yu back from that wrong road.
"That kind of prince looks glamorous, but in fact he is not necessarily a good person." "The big nobles also have big rules in their families, and even if they can successfully marry in, they are not free." "It's too tiring to fight all day, and we don't have any backing." "Good-looking men are generally not a good thing."
Qingqing babbled a lot, Lin Yu still didn't say anything, Qingqing was really anxious, "You won't really fall in love with that son, right?" He looked unreliable compared to the Marquis of Zhenyuan. ”
"Where things matter, my reason still dominates my feelings." Lin Yu exhaled deeply, and the white mist slowly spread in the dim air.
"That's good." Although Qingqing still had some doubts in her heart, she didn't say anything, "The restaurant is almost here, and Mrs. Yin doesn't know if Lu Dao is back." ”
Of course, Yin Susu is back, drinking tea in the private room, with a slight smile on his face, and seems to be in a good mood.
Lin Yu cleaned up the expression on her face, she was not used to showing her emotions to outsiders, "Sister Susu, where have you been, after we bought the first flower, you will disappear as soon as we turn around." ”
"I asked Xia He to tell Pearl, was it too noisy that Pearl didn't hear it at the time?" Yin Susu was obviously in a very good mood, and the smile on his face kept at this time. You must know that Yin Susu is a real cold beauty, especially when she is in the Hou Mansion, it is difficult to see many smiles in a day, and she is famous in the Hou Mansion.
"Probably." Lin Yu didn't believe it very much, but he didn't continue to investigate, "Seeing that Sister Su Su is in a good mood, is there anything good?" ”
"Is it a good thing? It's not at all, it's just schadenfreude. "Yin Susu didn't hide it," Zhang Wan'er's actions touched the nerves of many powerful people's families, everyone was afraid that those women outside would follow them to study, although there were Li Guifei and the third princess to help play a round, Zhang Wan'er was mocked by almost all the ladies present, and the banquet left before it ended. ”
"Oh, I see." Because of Cheng Yi's matter, Lin Yu was not interested in this news that should have been gloating, so he only sighed. Yin Susu only thought that she had completely let go, and she didn't mention it again.
However, Lin Yu inquired about the information of the seventh prince, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was Yin Susu or Lu Dao, or if Lin Yu's description was not clear enough, Yin Susu didn't know his name and surname. Lin Yu could only give up for the time being, and go back to continue to think of a way. And Qingqing saw that Lin Yu was very interested in this seventh son, and was secretly worried.
It's very late, and it's not convenient to go out of the city, Yin Susu also simply went to Lin Yu's small house to live, Lin Yu had arranged a few rooms before, and the bedding was naturally good, but there were almost no decorations, Yin Susu was not picky, they said goodnight, washed up and rested.
That night, Lin Yu had the dream that he hadn't had for a long time. It was a snowy day, the snow was very heavy, there was already a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the white snowflakes quickly drowned the back of that person, she wanted to stay, wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't make a sound, and could only watch him go farther and farther.
"Brother Cheng Yi." Lin Yu woke up from the nightmare, touched the water on his face, picked up a silk handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and sighed softly. I couldn't sleep, Lin Yu put on his clothes and sat at the table, looking out the window with his cheeks back, the moonlight was bright and bright, shining on the yard, and then the people in the yard.
Yes, it's so late, and there are still people, Lin Yu took a closer look, and could only confirm a slender woman, and he didn't see who it was. Lin Yu was a little curious, put on thick clothes, and planned to go down to have a look.
It is not surprising that sitting against the small pavilion in the courtyard is the great beauty Yin Susu. Lin Yu knew that she didn't sleep well, but she didn't know if she had this problem now, or if it was her own.
"Why didn't you sleep?" Yin Susu seemed to have very keen ears and eyes, Lin Yu had just gone downstairs, and before she entered the garden, she stood up and turned her head in the direction of Lin Yu.
"I had a dream, and I guess I can't sleep." Lin Yu spread his hands and sat down very naturally, but the stone bench was really cold in winter, "What about Sister Susu?" The incense sent by Qingqing was used up before? It's still useless to use too much. ”
"That's not it," Yin Susu smiled, "I forgot to bring it." ”
"Sister Susu, when did you start having insomnia?"
"You want to ask me if I lost sleep because I went down from the Hou Mansion, right?" Yin Susu smiled, "You don't have to be taboo, my answer is not." ”
"Hehe, this is all for you to see through Sister Susu." Lin Yu smiled a little embarrassedly.
Yin Susu didn't care much, "When I was thirteen years old, everyone except me died, and it was difficult to sleep peacefully that year. Speaking of which, you were also a victim back then, and your father was also seriously injured because of the investigation of this matter, and how long did it take for him to die half a year later. ”
"My father, I don't remember a lot of things." Lin Yu naturally didn't know how Lin Ruoyu's father died, and Mrs. Lin knew about it, but she didn't tell her, so Qingqing was even more unclear. "So is the murderer caught now?"
"Naturally," Yin Susu paused, his face condensed, and he sneered, "No." The imperial court has probably forgotten the lives of more than 40 members of our family, right? ”
Lin Yu looked at Yin Susu's cold pupils, and didn't know why Lu Dao was suddenly speechless. With such a Yin Susu, she was a little scared.
"You go back and clean up, maybe Uncle Lin left you any clues, it's only been eight years now, and those people are probably still alive." After Yin Susu threw down such a sentence, he got up and went upstairs.
Lin Yu was still affected by her words, and couldn't help but recall the relics of Father Lin and the things that Lin Ruoyu had when she was a child. (To be continued.)
