"So, do you still have to insist on checking it now? If this woman is not Chu Li, do you promise to never mention Chu Li again in the future? Long Chen was obviously a little unconvinced.

But after five years, how long can a person's patience and resilience last? With so many people's incomprehension and opposition, how long can Situ Jin hold out?

A glimmer of sunlight shines in the window, and it spreads in the air lazily. Long Chen had just met the emperor, and he was already very tired when he came out of the palace. But looking at Situ Jinruo's solemn face, even the air around him instantly froze.

Situ Jinruo pulled Long Chen's arm, "I promise." ”

As he spoke, he pulled him out of the Luyang Palace.

"I've already inquired, just in a wilderness on the outskirts of the city, on the way downhill, I saw Chu Li and a child. Presumably her child, but she didn't see Ayesorang. ”

If Situ Jin still remembered the events of that year, he thought that if Chu Li was still alive, he should have formed a family with Aye Solang.

A hint of urgency flashed in Long Chen's eyes, and he stopped and stood still. "I only believe you once, for the first time and for the last time. But you promise me, no matter what you see, whether that person is Chu Li or not, and what is her life like now. ”

"Keep this secret and don't tell anyone. Don't disturb anyone's life, you know? ”

Looking up, Situ Jinruo's lips curled up in a graceful arc, and that elegant smile instantly broke through the last line of defense in Long Chen's heart.

"I promise you."

There is a faint fragrance wafting in the air, light and elegant but refreshing, long tossing and turning.

Long Yu was walking on the streets of the Imperial City at this time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed.

She took Xiao Qiongye's hand, and while watching the bustling street, she held his little hand and talked to each other. "Night, you're going to have a birthday in winter. What birthday gift do you want? ”

Chu Li looked at Xiao Qiong Ye with such a fixed gaze.

"Ye'er only wants one gift, that is, to let her father and mother live together. After that, my mother and Ye'er no longer have to run a long way to see my father, so it is the best gift for Ye'er. ”

Xiao Qiongye's eyes seemed to have something flowing in them, endlessly, but they entangled her heart like spring silk.

Chu Li just felt that for a while, there seemed to be an indescribable sourness and emotion pouring into his heart, slowly rising, as if he was about to pour out from the bottom of his eyes.

She stroked Xiao Qiongye's head with a loving face, "Ye'er, you will know when you grow up." Many times we don't do what we want to do, survival is not easy, but we try our best to live happily. ”

It's like dancing with an anklet, but try to make the dance as beautiful as possible.

"I don't understand at night." Xiao Qiongye said in a very childish and well-behaved tone.

Seeing the five-year-old Xiao Qiong winking at herself, her long eyelashes flickering, she only felt that there was something warm in her heart.

shook Xiao Qiongye's little head, "Of course you don't understand, you will understand it in the future." ”

As she spoke, she took Xiao Qiongye's hand and left the streets of the imperial city step by step.

A broad, warm palm behind her twisted her around.

"Girl, slow ......"

She turned her face in a daze, staring at the eyes as deep as the lake, as if her heart had been filled with something for no reason, light, misty, far and near, bright and dark.

Chu Li protected Xiao Qiongye beside him in his arms, and said to the owner of the palm in a daze. "You are?"

The brocade-robed man's coat fluttered, his hair dancing in the late autumn breeze.

Before he could speak, he seemed to be choked by a fish bone in his throat, and he stared at Chu Li for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

Looking at the man's very strange face, Chu Li just felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and cordiality. But this feeling, which was more strange than the man's face, she didn't know where it came from.

"Childe recognizes me? Maybe...... Where have we met? Chu Li had no choice but to ask first, but stared at his hand on his shoulder.

Xiao Qiong drilled into Chu Li's arms at night, "Mother, this uncle is so handsome." ”

Chu Li's cheeks turned crimson when he heard this, but he looked at the man and didn't answer for a long time. had no choice but to pull Xiao Qiongye to leave, but he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Chu Li, don't go!"

Chu Li turned his face and searched the man's face in the bustling crowd. "Chu Li? Someone called me Chu Li before, who is Chu Li? Do we look alike? ”

Seeing that the man's face showed an elusive look, he said slowly: "Perhaps, I recognized the wrong person." “

Between them, a head slowly poked out from behind the man, but it was forced back by the man's hand.

"What's the girl's name, she really looks like an old friend of mine." Long Chen said.

She was slightly stunned, and then smiled faintly. "What kind of old friend is it? She must be a beautiful woman, right? "It will make such a personable man unforgettable.

Chu Li thought so, but he asked before he left.

The man shouted loudly in the air, "It's a calm and elegant woman, calm and indisputable. She has her own thoughts, and she is an elegant and beautiful woman like Jasmine in the world, but she ......"

It's just that......

He could no longer shout at the woman.

When the woman heard the word jasmine, she suddenly couldn't take a step like a nail in her foot, but turned her face. "Just what?"

Is this curiosity?

Is it her curiosity about this mysterious woman she has never met before, but who is very similar to herself? I want to know what kind of woman she is, she is a mountain village girl, and no one remembers herself at all when she lives an ordinary life.

"It's just... Five years ago, she had passed away. The man said in disappointment.

There was a gloomy look in her dark eyes, which made her feel a little distressed when she saw it.

The woman listened to the man's words, and a burst of warmth swelled up in her heart for no reason. "So it turns out that since the deceased friend has been dead for five years, the deceased must have hoped that the living would live happily with hope and wishes. Don't be entangled, you will definitely make more friends in the future. ”

comforted a strange man like this, but she was a little envious of the woman named Chu Li.

"Miss Xie is relieved." Long Chen raised his voice. "In the vast sea of people, meeting is fate, and I ask the girl to tell me the name."

The woman also felt that this man knew too much politeness than the man like the prodigal son yesterday, and he was a lot more gentle and gentlemanly. An inexplicable feeling of kindness came from the bottom of her heart, and she smiled and waved her sleeves at the man.

"I'm just a mountain village girl, if we meet again, it's fate, you don't have to know my name and surname, Childe."

As she spoke, she waved her sleeves and took Xiao Qiongye's hand and disappeared into the crowd.

Situ Jin, who was behind Long Chen, couldn't hear Long Chen's voice anymore, so he stretched out his head and looked around.

Unable to find Chu Li's figure, he pulled Long Chen's sleeve and shook it. "Hey, what about Chu Li?"

"Gone." Long Chen's seven souls and six spirits were suddenly ingested by the woman, and he was stunned in place. "Let's go back."

As he spoke, he turned around and pulled Situ Jinruo in the direction of Luyang Palace.

Situ Jinruo obviously hadn't reacted yet, "You saw it? That woman, it's Chu Li, right? ”

Long Chen didn't speak, just walked in despair along the way.

It seems that he doesn't have much strength, just dragging his tired body with a skeleton.

"I'm asking you, just now is a great opportunity, if you don't let me speak, you don't ask where people live and what they are called!"

Long Chen suddenly turned his stagnant face and patted Situ Jinruo's shoulder. "Didn't you just hear from someone?"

"Say what?" Situ Jinruo asked.

"I'm just a mountain village girl, if we meet again, it's fate, you don't have to know my name and surname, Childe." Long Chen said as he learned the woman's figure and tone.

Situ Jinruo was stunned when he heard this, but watched Long Chen approach the Luyang Mansion step by step.

He couldn't hold back any longer and chased after him. "What is the fate of meeting again! She's irresponsible, okay? You're even more harmful, I finally met her halfway today, but you lost her before your eyes! ”

Long Chen didn't care when he heard Situ Jinruo's words, and walked by himself.

Suddenly he laughed, and his dark eyes were very bright. "Isn't it enough to know that she's still alive? Isn't that the best news I've heard in five years? ”

He just said to himself, ignoring the fact that Situ Jinruo behind him was closed by his own backhand, and the bridge of his tall nose was blocked by the door.

"Open the door! You saw it with your own eyes today, didn't you? Am I right? Situ Jinruo kept pestering outside the door until he couldn't hear the movement in the house at all.

"It must be a mistake to fall asleep so quickly. Such a great opportunity was given up like this, if he would definitely pull Chu Li back to the Luyang Palace. ”

Even if you imprison her, don't let her go back to the vast sea of people again.

Because she is like a pearl of independence in the world, scattered in the deep sea, she is willing to be calm and indifferent, and it is not easy to find her.

Missing it, losing it, is a lifetime of regret.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Long Chen didn't seem to have an argument with Situ Jinruo anymore, and he still secretly investigated Chu Li's traces as usual. The people sent out to investigate have never brought any gratifying news, but Situ Jinruo has always believed that his vision and speculation are not wrong.

Chu Li must still be alive in the world.

As long as we live, we will meet again one day.
