30. Four people (the end)
Bai Lu's mother is the only daughter of Elder Bai, a member of the College Presbyterian Church, and has grown up under the care of the family as the pearl of the palm since she was a child, but she has not been pampered as a willful eldest lady, she is beautiful and intelligent, lively and clever, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is "loved by everyone". When she was fifteen years old, Bai Lu's mother entered the academy, and her generous temperament allowed her to make many friends in the academy, among which the best relationship was a girl from a small family surnamed Li. The two are of the same age and have the same personalities, and they are completely inseparable during the time in the college, but they also understand that under the influence of the factors of their respective families, the two of them will inevitably embark on different paths, and there will almost never be a chance to meet again after leaving the college, so on the day of graduation, the reluctant two made an agreement.
When they are married, if they are all boys, they are brothers, and if they are girls, they are good sisters, and if they are boys, they are brothers......
Then let them be together and become husband and wife.
For the two young girls, this is the only way they can think of to make the connection between them never disappear when they have to carry the fate of their family.
Later, Bai Lu's mother married a mortal despite the family's opposition, and her friend married into the Nangong family of the Cang family's affiliated family for the sake of the family, and then, as if God also wanted to promote a marriage, the two gave birth to a boy and a girl successively, that is, Nangong Piao and Bai Lu.
After communicating with friends, they learned the name of each other's children, and both of them were very happy, but it didn't take long for Bai Lu's parents to pass away due to an accident, so Bai Lu was taken back to the Bai family by Elder Bai, who had lost his beloved daughter, and raised her carefully, and her favor was even more than that of Bai Lu's mother, so when the young Bai Lu asked about her parents, Elder Bai did not hide it at all, and told her everything.
As a result, Bai Lu knew early on that he had a fiancΓ© named "Nangong Piao".
When she was ignorant, Bai Lu imagined that the other party might be like Prince Charming in fairy tales, and she also looked forward to meeting Nangong Piao in the future, but when she grew up and understood more things, she gave birth to a sense of rejection.
After all, no one would be willing to marry a stranger who didn't even know what they looked like.
As time passed, this rejection turned into a disgust for the name "Nangong Piao".
So even if Bai Lu had a longed-for male appearance in his heart, and Nangong Piao who suddenly appeared happened to meet these expectations, Bai Lu couldn't have a good face for him, but targeted him everywhere.
After talking about the reason, Zhou Miao said lightly: "Although Grandpa Bai didn't break the contract because he was worried that this was Aunt Bai's last wish, he also said that everything is based on Xiao Lu's will, and as long as she wants to, she can abandon this marriage at any time." β
However, even though her grandfather gave such a guarantee, even if she was unhappy about it, Bai Lu still did not refuse this marriage contract, which was obviously not considered.
Zhang Longqian understands why.
This is the same as her who has been persistently learning to cook from her father.
Because those recipes were left by his mother, for Zhang Longqian, who has no memory of his mother, this is proof of his mother's existence.
And for Bai Lu, who also doesn't remember her mother, perhaps, this agreement from her mother is proof of her mother's existence......
sighed in his heart, but Zhang Longqian was still a little relieved because he understood the truth, and couldn't help but smile reassuringly: "I'm still worried about whether she has something to do with Nangong, it's great...... But in this way, Xiao Lu actually doesn't hate Nangong at all, right? β
Zhou Miao looked at her and motioned for her to continue, so Zhang Longqian chuckled and said.
"It's very simple, after all, Nangong is completely in line with the type that Xiaolu likes, isn't it? She rejects Nangong so much now, not because she hates him himself, but because she just rejects the name 'Nangong Piao', maybe she has a good feeling for Nangong himself? β
Although it was an inquiry, Zhang Longqian's tone was very convinced, and the corners of his lips couldn't suppress a smile.
After all. She knew Bai Lu too well.
After knowing the ins and outs, it is easy to guess the reason why Bai Lu showed such a complicated and tangled expression, but it is impossible for Nangong Piao to become "Dugu Piao" and "Murong Piao", even if Bai Lu's disgust is not aimed at Nangong Piao itself, it can't be reversed for her at once, and let her admit her feelings for Nangong Piao in her heart......
Thinking about Nangong Piao's obvious affection for Bai Lu, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic: "It's a rough journey......
But after all, this kind of thing can only be solved by the parties involved, and she, a bystander, can only sigh two sentences, looking at Zhou Miao, who obviously saw everything clearly and made a gesture of letting go, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but think of her attitude towards Liao Lei again, and always felt that it seemed to be a little similar to Bai Lu's attitude towards Nangong Piao, so she couldn't help but tentatively speak.
"Anyway...... Xiao Miao, are you and Liao Lei also ......?"
Before he finished speaking, the second half of the sentence was forced back by the cold gaze thrown by Zhou Miao.
"You try to talk nonsense again."
Zhang Longqian immediately laughed dryly and stopped talking, and Zhou Miao didn't continue the topic, but just said, "You remember what Nangong said after the treatment just now, right?" β
"How could you not remember?" Speaking of this, Zhang Longqian looked a little helpless, "'I want to stay in the hospital for another day for treatment to see the results', right?" Okay, I promise that I won't take half a step out of the hospital tomorrow, so I'll just stay honest, okay? β
Looking at Zhang Longqian, who was weakly returning to the hospital bed, Zhou Miao nodded and said, "Very good, we won't come to see you tomorrow when we have class, but I will make it clear to Young Master Ji and let him keep an eye on you, if you still want to recognize me as a friend, you can do what you just said." β
"Yes......"
After answering weakly, I heard someone push the door in, and when I looked up, I saw that Ji Haiyun, who was going outside, happened to meet the upset Bai Lu, and then brought her back, and met Ji Haiyun's inquiring eyes because he was not clear about the situation, Zhang Longqian immediately put away his dejected smile and got up, ran over and grabbed Bai Lu and began to divert the topic, it didn't take long for the simple Bai Lu to be amused, she quickly forgot about Nangong Piao, and chatted happily with Zhang Longqian.
Because of the assurance made to Zhou Miao, even after the two people who came to visit left, Zhang Longqian still temporarily dispelled the idea of "prison escape", she stayed honestly for one night, and cooperated with Nangong Piao for treatment the next day, and finally got the assurance that "she can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow" from Nangong Piao's mouth, she was relieved that she was not as anxious as before, and after thinking about it, she completely dispelled the idea of "prison escape" in these few hours, and then said to Ji Haiyun and went to the ward alone to go around a little- After all, she still won't get lost at this distance.
But as soon as she went out, she met someone she hadn't expected.
Liao Lei.
Liao Lei, who appeared at the door, looked as gloomy as he saw yesterday, it seemed that he had just walked here, and when he saw Zhang Long sneaking out, he temporarily stopped and nodded to her politely.
Although he doesn't remember the specific road, Zhang Longqian still knows that Qiu Kui's ward is some distance from here, why did Liao Lei come here?
blinked a little in surprise, but Zhang Longqian still knew the etiquette after all, so he nodded and responded to Liao Lei's greeting: "Good afternoon, Young Master Liao Lei, why did you come so far?" β
Liao Lei's gloomy eyes immediately drifted.
"No...... It's not 'special'...... I just happened to pass by......"
Originally, it was just a casual question, but this typical desire to cover up the answer and the somewhat knotted tone made Zhang Longqian raise his eyebrows.
This guy hasn't been hanging around the door for a long time, right? What's the idea?
Puzzled in his heart, he found that Liao Lei was quietly looking into her ward from the open door, no matter how she looked at it, it was not what he said "passing by accidentally" but with a purpose, which made Zhang Longqian squint his eyes slightly, and was thinking about how to ask what he wanted to do, so he asked in a low voice.
"Today...... Didn't anyone come to visit you? β
"I'm going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and I don't stay in the hospital every day, so of course there's no need for people to visit me every day."
After answering casually, she found that Liao Lei, who had a gloomy expression, was a little stunned on her face, and an idea immediately appeared in Zhang Longqian's heart, she raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and after thinking about it, she deliberately added.
"Besides, Xiao Lu and Xiao Miao have to be busy with their own affairs, even if they want to, they can't come......"
Speaking in a casual tone, Zhang Longqian casually glanced at Liao Lei's reaction, and immediately found that when he heard a certain name, his expression was obviously stiff for a moment.
And so it was.
Raising his eyebrows, weighing it in his heart, Zhang Longqian simply smiled and said directly: "I said, Young Master Liao Lei, if you want to see Xiao Miao, instead of squatting here and waiting, it is better to go directly to Zongheng's house, right?" β
As soon as he heard this, Liao Lei immediately denied it, but his speed of speech became a little faster: "No...... I didn't want to see her, I was just passing by, and I thought too much. β
Then he walked away briskly without looking back.
But Zhang Longqian didn't miss it, his originally sickly pale cheeks looked a little rosy at the moment.
Looking at the young man who was obviously older than himself, but was at a loss at the moment, like a child, Zhang Longqian couldn't help pinching his chin and laughed secretly in his heart.
Interesting.
Nangong Piao and Bai Lu, Liao Lei and Zhou Miao, these four people are really interesting......
