Chapter 235: A Promise
In the night, a large cloud of fireworks exploded to light up the sky, and the rolling cheers temporarily swept away the dead silence in the dead end.
"Any idea why my name is hour? Hours, hours, knowing the hour and minute are no longer known. ”
Her heart was like a bubble that was rapidly bulging, and her beautiful smile was like a sharp thorn, and she burst it unexpectedly.
Full of sorrow, breaking through the heart defense, surging in.
"Now standing in front of you, I suddenly feel extremely ironic, do you know what kind of painful transformation I have experienced? It took me nearly two years to reinvent myself in order to completely get rid of the past, and even I couldn't believe that I could survive all those hardships. ”
Laughing and hurting, Zhu Xishi has never liked others to see his fragile side.
"After falling off the cliff, I was fortunate to be rescued by Sheng Zijun and did not die, and during the period of recuperation, I also realized one thing: it is rare for people to walk in the world once, and I can't get by anymore. So with the help of Sheng Zijun, I began the transformation journey of the fat woman. ”
"For two years, I was doing this one thing over and over again every day: lose weight. Every day before dawn, I have to tie a hundred pounds of lead to drag a cart, walk more than 50 miles of mountain roads into the mountains to cut firewood, and I must cut a cart full of firewood; Then, I will repeatedly soak in the hot and cold spring water of the mountain stream for more than an hour to help my body contract and shape; After doing this, I had to pull a cart of firewood back to the village at the bottom of the mountain, and I didn't dare to slack off, because once the time was over, I would not be able to eat lunch. These hardships are just hors d'oeuvres, and in the afternoon I have to help out in the fields, treading waterwheels, plowing the fields, and ordering rice. What work tires me to do; Immediately after that, I had to go to the bottom of the waterfall and use the huge impact of the water to slim down. In order to maintain the hard-won results that I have accumulated over time. And in the evening, I still have my physical homework to do; Oh, yes, you've probably seen it, and I'm probably going to worry about what she's doing now, but I was much heavier than she was then. ”
Speaking of these painful pasts, Zhu Xishi's beautiful face was full of smiles, but her eyes were moist.
I am deeply moved. It's more about being glad that I can go all the way down.
"There have been a few times when life and death were at stake, and Sheng Zijun did his best to pull me back from the Ghost Gate. So at that time, I gradually endured these pains, because I knew that there was nothing more important than being alive. I want to be a caterpillar, I want to transform, I want to live a different and brilliant life. ”
"Shih Tzu. Don't say it."
Look up. Zhao Zhenyuan, who empathized, had tears in his eyes, and his pale face was so pale compared to her. But Zhu Xishi wanted to say that he would tell all about his past, and then forget it happily, as a nightmare.
Holding his hand boldly, Zhu Xishi lowered his head and rubbed his palm between his palms, and asked him how he felt at the moment in a faint tone.
"Do you feel it?"
The keen sense of touch intuitively conveys the roughness. It was the calluses in Zhu Xishi's palms that expressed grievances, which made Zhao Zhenyuan's heart swell and shrink suddenly.
"Calluses in the palms of my hands. It was left over from my two years of chopping wood. Originally, as long as I was willing to suffer a little pain in the flesh, Sheng Zijun could return me a pair of silky and slippery hands, but I wanted to keep it. Because just by looking at it, I can know what kind of suffering I have suffered, and remind me not to get too carried away with my good self now. And these calluses are also warning me over and over again at the moment, you and I should not be so entangled anymore, it will only make me feel sorry for myself. ”
The rough feeling between her palms suddenly broke away from Zhao Zhenyuan, and he wanted to hold it again, but the big hands were empty; And her words sounded again, like a slap in the face, taught Zhao Zhenyuan a profound lesson.
"I have experienced nine deaths and a lifetime, and I have endured a lot of hardships to get to where I am today, not to meet you. I don't know what to be happy about. ”
"You blame me, I have nothing to say! But Xi Shi, you can beat me and scold me, you can vent as much as you want, I just ask you not to be like this."
"Lord Rong, please respect yourself!"
was just about to catch Zhu Xishi's hand, but because of her clever dodge, she was suddenly hung in the air, and she could only tremble slightly when she had no place to land, so embarrassed.
"On the old relationship, I may still remember the cynical, optimistic and hearty Zhao Xiaoba, but now standing in front of me is King Rong Zhao Zhenyuan, and I have nothing to do with you."
"I know that I shouldn't have concealed my identity to deceive you three years ago, but I don't want to be honest with my identity, but I don't want you and me to be estranged because of this. Zhao Xiaoba or Zhao Zhenyuan is just a title; In all fairness, I don't mean anything wrong with you other than that! ”
"So what? Whether it's Zhao Xiaoba or Zhao Zhenyuan, I don't have the heart to ask again. There is no need to mention the past, it is good to forget about the chic, and when there is one more Zhu Xi and one less Zhu Xi, it will not have any impact on you. ”
Still unfinished, Zhu Xishi tilted his head slightly, and said sarcastically.
"Who are you in the past, worthy of your attention? Of course, if Zhao Xiaoba, who arbitrarily says that they are friends with each other, I may still appreciate his ease and ease; But now Zhao Zhenyuan is tirelessly thinking about these old things with me, don't you feel that you have lost the temperament of your dignified Eight Sages King? I've got to the point where I am today, and I can't even talk about friends. ”
"Yes, I'm not free! But I really care about you as a friend, you have suffered a lot in the past three years, and how can I feel at ease? You save me, who allows you to take your own life to save me?! I, Zhao Zhenyuan, hate to owe others the most in my life! ”
"Ho! I'm really sorry, Zhu Xi was too stupid at that time, and willfully risked his life to save you, begging the prince to forgive her for the crime of transgressing her duty! ”
sneered at him, and Zhu Xishi's face was even more frosty and cold, but the stiff smile couldn't help but spread between his faces, and then spread, making people fearful.
"I'm not trying to blame you for anything, I just want you to know that Xi Shi is not an insignificant person in my heart"
"No need, I can't afford the love of the prince."
Rawland took another big step back, revealing the distance between each other. Draw a line with Zhao Zhenyuan very meanly.
"The Tao is not the same, you are a noble person, not a person who messes with ordinary people like me. The previous reminder was deceptive. But every sentence comes from the bottom of my heart; Please raise your noble hand and give me a peaceful life, okay?! ”
"Zhu Xi, you want to talk nonsense? Now, how can you make me pretend to be crazy and stupid, and be an irrelevant person as you wish?! You teach me! ”
"Okay, since the prince has spoken, how dare the little woman disobey?!"
Before he understood the meaning of Zhu Xishi's words, Zhu Xishi directly snatched the golden jade in Zhao Zhenyuan's hand. A loud blah blah blah lit up between the two.
"The prince promised that if I have something to ask for something with the jade pendant in the future, you will definitely help you. Now I'll give you back a peace of mind. Please don't come to disturb my life in the future! If you want to see it, you will poke your eyes, if you want to speak, you will be dumbfounded, and if you want to hear it, you will pierce your ears. Like a stranger! ”
Zhu Xi's anger was also endured to the limit. Picking up the jade pendant, it was thrown to Zhao Zhenyuan's chest, and it collided silently, like a butterfly with folded wings falling into the snow.
"May I make a promise, and you and I will be clear. I hope that the prince will abide by the promise of a gentleman and don't break his word! ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Xishi rushed towards the bright place against the cold wind that was howling at the mouth of the alley. The cold of the wind made Zhu Xi's red face ache. But it reminded her what it means to be brave.
A person can be stupid once with brain fever, but after he has been taught a lesson, he cannot commit it again; Looking back is the past. She didn't want to hesitate anymore.
The dead end can no longer set off the previous disputes, but the quiet atmosphere can swallow people's hearts even more.
After standing for a long time, Zhao Zhenyuan bent down and picked up the golden claw that was lying quietly in the snow, and was frozen by the snow as cold as ice; The snow foam between the jade body that had not yet had time to melt quickly melted into a ball under the catalysis of a bright and hot teardrop.
Expectations have changed, and it is the heart that is not enough
During the Chinese New Year, pay attention to visiting relatives and friends, eating and drinking with liveliness, and the flavor of this year is even stronger. was still worried that this year was too lonely, and a greeting post was handed into the "Butterfly Medical Hall".
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Zhiqiu held a banquet in the "Natural Residence" and invited everyone in the hospital to have a small gathering.
The first time he spent the New Year in Lin'an, Zhu Xishi, who had no relatives and no reason, naturally didn't have many relatives and friends to string, and he was suddenly remembered by people when he was bored, and his heart was warm.
Although Zhao Zhenyuan's bad things were taboo, it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, so Zhu Xishi still responded happily.
A cup of warm tea, a room of ups and downs, filled this joyful atmosphere.
"I heard that Brother Luo paints with a wonderful brush, and the characters in his pen are extremely expressive. It's a good time to be in the mood, can you open our eyes?! ”
Holding the warm teacup, Zhu Xishi looked at Luo Zhiqiu with admiration.
"The young girl praised falsely, and she only knew a little about poetry and painting; But since the girl opened her mouth, I didn't dare to shirk it. I'll order someone to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and if the painting is not good, the young girl will not laugh at it. ”
"Hey, Brother Luo, don't be anxious."
was about to instruct his subordinates to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but he didn't want Zhu Xishi to stop him, although Luo Zhiqiu was a little puzzled, he still asked with a smile.
"Does the young girl have any other requests?"
"I don't dare to ask for it, but I want to know how talented Big Brother Kaoluo is. I didn't mean to find fault, the New Year, everyone pays attention to a lively and lively life, don't you say? ”
"How does that girl want to take the test?" Wan Er smiled, and Luo Zhiqiu gladly accepted her suggestion.
"Well, Brother Luo, look at this house, Yu Niang, Miaomiao, which one is not a stunning beauty, how boring is it to paint for me alone? It's rare to have a good day, it's rare to get together, so it's natural to paint a picture for our three Jinlan sisters. ”
The three women with their own postures and disadvantages are gathered together, and they don't need to be depicted to be a pleasing picture; Tasting fragrant tea and appreciating beauties, Luo Zhiqiu smiled more heartily.
"However, I have always been a person who can't sit still, and I won't let Brother Luo draw so lightly in his brush. It's a bit difficult~~"
In a playful blink, Zhu Xishi gave Luo Zhiqiu a problem like a naughty child, but he said it confidently.
"It's not that hard." (To be continued......)
