Chapter 103: Candlelight Dinner and Marriage Proposal

But I didn't ask, and even if he said that there was his nest in every corner of the capital, I believed that we drove to the suburbs and looked at the green hills in front of us, which was a very different state of mind than when we were adventuring.

The car drove onto a fork in the road that could only accommodate one car, and after driving for nearly twenty minutes, a complex of buildings built on the mountainside came into view, which looked very much like the family villa in a martial arts movie.

The hue of the white walls and black tiles among the vast green hills has an ethereal artistic conception like a splashed ink landscape painting, and there are two rows of maple trees planted on the side of the mountain road, and if it is autumn, the scenery here must be even more beautiful.

The car slowly turned, climbed up a slope and stopped at the main entrance of the complex, where the words 'Lanxue Villa' in ancient style were written on the plaque above the vermilion metal gate.

The gate automatically slid open to both sides, Sanjiu drove the car into the courtyard, and a middle-aged man in casual clothes waited on the side of the road, this should be the main road, about 500 meters long, it leads to the main building of the villa.

Sanjiu told me to get out of the car, and the middle-aged man walked around the path leading to the backyard, and the two of us walked across the main road, walked up more than 20 steps, and stood at the entrance of the three-story main building.

In the middle of the front hall is a screen painted with snowflakes, and there are stairs leading to the upper floors on the left and right, behind which there is a door, and the courtyard behind is lined with plum trees.

"Upstairs is the guest room and we stayed in the backyard." Sanjiu said as he took my hand and stepped through the door behind the screen.

The area of the 'backyard' in his mouth is really a bit large, passing through the plum trees in the courtyard, there is a cross-shaped corridor in front of him, and there are zigzag corridors on the left and right leading to other buildings.

He led me straight forward, and to the left of the silhouette was a garden with a rockery table. On the right is the lotus pond, it is summer, all kinds of lotus flowers in the pond are blooming, I can't help but look at it twice, Sanjiu noticed it, and immediately stopped.

I smiled and pulled him on, I want to live here in the future, and I have time to appreciate it slowly, and I am not in a hurry.

Walking out of the corridor and passing through a crescent door, the eyes suddenly opened up. It is different from the scenery of the mountain villa, which is full of flowers. In this courtyard, only on the left side stands a small three-story building.

There was nothing planted in the open space in the courtyard, not even a single grass, and I looked at Sanjiu in wonder. He glanced at the clearing. He turned to look at me and said:

"It's reserved for you."

I was both surprised and moved. It seems that whether it is a courtyard house or a European-style villa, it is not his home, and this is the real 'home' for him.

I opened my mouth. I wanted to say thank you, I felt too raw, I wanted to say something, but he pulled open the door of the small building, the first floor is the living room, kitchen and dining room, the furniture inside is all antique, but modern kitchen utensils are readily available.

On the second floor is a study and a few empty rooms, on the third floor is a living room and gym, and the largest bedroom has a floor-to-ceiling balcony overlooking the property.

The balcony is very wide, with a two-seater sofa and coffee table, to be honest, the soothing mood of enjoying the beautiful scenery is all squeezed by tension, and I can't help but beat the drum in my heart, and I can't help but think to myself, what does it mean that Sanjiu took me to visit the bedroom, we are dating, yes, but I haven't thought about living in the same room.

Sanjiu, who has always guessed my mood accurately, this time it was like an antenna failure, and after visiting the bedroom, I returned to the kitchen on the first floor to prepare dinner, and the refrigerator in the kitchen was full of ingredients, all very fresh.

I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, and when I came back, I saw that the place next to the table was full of red candles, and the heart-shaped candlelight surrounded the table in the middle.

I had to cover my mouth to keep my mouth from screaming, and the guy who even used a threatening tone to ask for a relationship would actually use the trick of candlelight dinner?

The lights in the dining room were off, and the warm candle flame was reflected in our faces, and I didn't know if he could see that my face was as red as a monkey's ass, at least I felt that way, and my heart was beating uncontrollably, and it was impossible for him not to hear it.

"Come and eat, I have something to say after eating." Sanjiu still spoke lightly.

"Oh." I sat down in my chair in a daze, eating delicious food that had lost its taste from being too nervous, and I had a hunch that he must be ...... for dinner

He put a chopstick beef tenderloin into my bowl, then put down the chopsticks and said calmly: "Xuewa, let's get married." ”

Click--chopsticks fell from the tips of my released fingers, my heart was beating at a speed of 100,000 beats per second, of course, this is just my feeling, I should be happy, even ecstatic, after all, I also like him, and everything we have experienced is something that ordinary couples have never experienced in their lives, I believe that in any desperate situation, he will not give up, he loves me deeply.

But...... I can't tell why, but there is some force in my deepest heart that is pulling at me, warning me not to move our relationship forward.

In the candlelight, Sanjiu gradually lost his calm and indifference, he held a ring in his hand, his knuckles were white, the green tendons on the back of his hand were bulging, his face was receding from blood, becoming pale, his expression was painful, and the despair in his eyes almost annihilated me.

"Okay." I used all my strength to shatter the alarm bell in my heart so that it could no longer make the noise that made me hesitate.

Sanjiu's eyes instantly brightened, his expression was like a dazzling starlight, and he grabbed my right hand as if he was afraid that I would regret it, and the quaint ring that was not gold or diamond could not wait to be put on my ring finger.

"But I'm a black man......," I muttered.

"I've done it, your new name is Zixue, age 24, and the photo of your ID card is your twin sister's."

"Really! Great, I can finally use my own name and don't have to borrow Li Miaoxue's identity! ”

"Marriage is only registered because we live in this era, so we obey the laws of this era; And the meaning of this ring is that no matter what time or place, my love for you will last until the soul is destroyed. Sanjiu's tone was serious and loud, which made this sentence out of the category of 'love words' and into an out-and-out 'fact'.

If there is a love in the world that does not end until the soul is completely destroyed, and the person who sends this love has a lifespan of thousands of years, how much weight should this love have?

But what makes me uncomfortable is. Our feelings are not equal, and if you ask yourself, I can't guarantee that my feelings for him won't fade over the millennia.

"Xuewa, I only want you to ...... Always by my side. ”

His unrequited and 'begging' tone made my heart throb hard, and I nodded my head without any worries.

I said to myself, we have not known each other for a long time, we have been together for thousands of years, a dynasty has only risen and fallen for a hundred years, but his love for me has lasted for thousands of years. What else do I have to hesitate about!

Wait until I've washed the dishes. After soaking in the bath for nearly two hours, during which he soaked in the bathtub to do psychological construction for himself, he was finally ready to welcome the experience of two people sharing a bed, but Sanjiu just said goodnight. I walked into another small bedroom. Leave me with a nostalgic back!

I threw myself on the big reverie bed and slammed the mattress a few times. It's so embarrassing?

This night I fell asleep through gritted teeth, and in my sleep I saw Sanjiu's sad eyes, and he spoke in a painful tone that I couldn't understand. Ask me over and over again, why did you lie to him?

I desperately shook my head in denial, and kept pleading 'I didn't', but in the dream, I said no, but there was no sadness or anger in my heart, and the kind of indifference that was calm to the extreme scared me.

Until I woke up in a warm bosom, I opened my eyes suddenly, looked up at Sanjiu, and saw that there was only worry in his eyes, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I was woken up by myself.

I never knew that nightmares could take such forms, Sanjiu stroked my hair and asked with concern, "I heard you shouting, and it seems like you have a nightmare when I come to see you." ”

I said something that didn't have a clue: "I'll be good to you." ”

Sanjiu's hand stroking my hair paused, and then said softly, "You dreamed of me." ”

I buried my head deep in his arms, he had the light scent of shower gel, and at this moment I suddenly wanted to cry, but I held back and nodded my head buried in his arms.

A gentle voice that had never been heard before came from his mouth: "Whatever happened, it was over." ”

His kiss landed on top of my head, and I boldly tried to kiss him back, only to tilt my head and kiss only his neck, kissing his male protruding Adam's apple.

But his body was obviously tense, and he hugged my arms harder, and I opened my eyes, mentally prepared for what I had done last night, since I had accepted his ring, we were destined to be husband and wife, he was a responsible man, and I had nothing to worry about.

But he just hugged me hard, got up and walked to the door, and as he stepped out of the door, he turned his back to me and said, "Give me the final answer when you regain your memory." ”

I stared at the closed door in a daze for a while, always thinking that what he was hiding from me was not trivial, and I wanted to ask a psychiatrist to hypnotize me immediately to evoke my past memories.

But thinking about what Zi Zheng said, I hurriedly suppressed the impulse in my heart, in order to grow old with Sanjiu, I must fight steadily and find the Black Lotus coffin as soon as possible!

Breakfast was white porridge and a few light side dishes, after eating, Sanjiu led me to familiarize myself with the environment of the mountain villa, and I was surprised that there was an underground passage under the garage, which could enter the secret space inside the mountain.

Pulling open the closed gate, I saw a wide shooting range, with hidden compartments in the walls, and various types of firearms lying on stands, and he knew that I couldn't use a gun, so he just told me what was inside.

Passing through the shooting range was a horizontal corridor with a downward staircase on the left, which we led to the basement level, a room that resembled a bank vault, but with a thick metal door without a modern electronic lock or a winch to transport it.

In the center of the round metal door is inlaid with a stone slab, the surface of the stone slab is smooth, there is no pattern or text, and the palm of the hand is attached to the stone slab, there is no technology at all, and the metal door opens immediately.

I pursed my mouth, and my heart said that it was so good that it would glow, and it would seem more advanced to make a sound, wouldn't it? Sanjiu pushed the metal door back on, grabbed my right hand and slapped it on the stone slab, and the door opened again.

He shook my right hand and said, "With this ring, you can open the door." ”

Then I noticed that he was using his left hand, and he also had a simple ring on his left ring finger, which should be the same pair as the one I was wearing.

In addition to gold bars and bricks, there are also drawers dedicated to storing precious stones, but most of the space is filled with strange things, such as twigs in glass jars, stones soaked in water bottles, and only half-cut bronze swords.

He didn't introduce me to them, but after a turn he took me out and returned to the upper hallway, where the living quarters were behind the iron door on the right side of the corridor.

It's the same as an ordinary house, except for a little more storage room, which can be called a warehouse, and if the end of the world comes, we can hide it here for a few years.

After visiting the secret base, we received a call from Jin Sanpang on the way back to our small courtyard, Sanjiu turned on the speakerphone, and Jin Sanpang's slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Jiu, you guys have been careful recently, Zhao Ning has issued a reward order on the road!" ”

Sanjiu asked: "What is the price of the reward?" ”

Jin Sanpang said: "100 million US dollars plus the treasure box that Zhao Wuye got." ”

He took a quick breath, and then said, "She shook out the matter of the holy book and some of the information of Zhao Wuye, and now everyone on the road knows the existence of the holy book!" ”

Sanjiu said with a gloomy face: "Okay, you watch out for yourself." ”

Hung up the phone, he immediately dialed out a string of numbers, and led me back to the secret base under the garage, the base has an electronic signal jamming system, and it is absolutely safe for me to hide here, but Zhao Ning's reckless behavior will not only lead to the ghosts and snakes on the road, but she will also lead out the more difficult guys!

What I'm worried about now is not myself, but Zhao Ning, did she think when she made the decision, the Zhao family's status and right to speak on the road depend on Zhao Wuye, once everyone knows that Zhao Wuye is dead, who can her little girl shock?

The husband is not guilty, does she understand the truth of his guilt? The information that Zhao Wuye has collected over the years is like a 'new continent' full of novelty and temptation, and the consequences of making them public are unimaginable.

Moreover, the more people know about the existence of the holy book, the more unfavorable it will be for our future actions, with Zhao Ning's courage, there is no need to use heavy punishment, as long as it is scared and frightened, all the things of the eight generations of ancestors will be shaken out.

The secret base has a special electronic equipment room, which has all the monitoring displays of the entire villa, Sanjiu saw that my face was not good, and went to the kitchen to make me tea.

"Don't worry, I'm here." He shoved the warm teacup into my hand.

"I'm not worried about my safety, I'm worried about ...... If it were me, the first thing I would do when I saw Zhao Ning's suspense order was to sneak into her house and steal the treasure box! I put the cup on the table, shook Sanjiu's hand, and said, "We should snatch the treasure box back first, I don't worry about it falling into the hands of others!" ”

Sanjiu shook my hand back, and his calm and powerful voice calmed my emotions a little, and he said, "I have sent someone to do it." ”

Hearing him say this, I felt a little relieved, but the treasure box didn't arrive for a moment, and I couldn't be completely relieved for a moment. (To be continued.) )
