The black eyes are clear, and the eyebrows are slightly frowned, as if they are scrutinizing.

Seeing his lips flutter, as if he was about to say something.

Ruan Shu's heart shrank, thinking that maybe he had to be honest about the medicine he had taken before.

There was a timely knock on the door.

"Boss, the master is looking for you." Li Qing's voice was under tremendous pressure as soon as he heard it, "I said that I would go see a few elders now." ”

Fortunately, it is an important matter, and he can be regarded as confident.

Fu Lingyuan's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he was silent: "Well, I know, come right away." ”

When he was done, his eyes swept back.

Ruan Shu calmed down and pushed him: "Didn't you say to go right away?" ”

Fu Lingyuan stared at her for another two seconds, pursed his lips, and got up from her.

Ruan Shu pulled the nightgown back on his body, remembering his inconvenience, so he also got out of bed and helped him take care of his clothes.

Because he had a plaster hand hanging on one side, it would look strange if he only wore half of his sleeves, so his coat was now draped over his body.

The tall and straight figure, paired with a navy blue long tweed coat, with injuries, is another way of dressing. The more Ruan Shu looked, the more he felt like the big guys in Hong Kong films, and inexplicably made up Tony Leung's image.

Fu Lingyuan was aware of it, hooked her chin, squinted at the corners of her slightly raised lips, and hit the nail on the head: "Are you thinking about other men?" ”

The corners of Ruan Shu's lips were raised even more, he stood on tiptoe, kissed him lightly on the lips with a bit of deliberate flattery, and said with a smile: "If the third brother is twenty years old, he will also be very tasteful." ”

It wasn't clear who she was comparing to him, but it was a compliment. Fu Lingyuan hooked his lips obliquely, wrapped his arms around her waist, raised her a little, and deepened the kiss.

"Get a good night's sleep and don't overthink it."

Before leaving the room, he said.

Ruan Shu lowered his head and touched the white chalcedony on his wrist, and smiled faintly, the picture of the person with blood in his chest and his eyes staring straight at her flashed.

***

Fu Lingyuan went downstairs and met Lu Shaocong at the gate of the courtyard.

Lu Shaocong saw at a glance the shallow tooth marks on his chin that couldn't fade, and smiled ambiguously: "Brother Yuan, hard work." The timing may not be coincidental. ”

Fu Lingyuan reached out and touched it, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he turned to business: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Lu Shaocong looked upright: "The Great Elder is about to die." ”

In the hospital, when Chen Qingzhou heard the same sentence on the phone, he was pouring water for Fu Qingci.

Hearing this, his movements paused.

The person on the other end of the line continued, "Come here now. They are also on their way here. ”

Chen Qingzhou continued to pour water: "Third Elder, with my current conditions and situation, I am not qualified to be in charge of the Sihai Hall. I'm sorry you bothered for me. ”

The Third Elder was silent for a few seconds and sighed, "No matter what, you have to come and see the Great Elder, right?" He may not make it to dawn. This may be the last of you. If your dad is still ......"

Chen Qingzhou turned his head and glanced at the person on the hospital bed.

Fu Qingci still lay with his back to him, leaving him with alienation and coldness.

After a moment's contemplation, he nodded in response: "Okay." I'm going over now. ”

Ending the call, Chen Qingzhou poured half a cup of hot water to the cold water head on the other side of the water dispenser, and then took the water for a while before walking back to the bed with the cup and resting on the head of the bed.

After two or three seconds, he said slowly, "I'll take care of something." ”

Fu Qingci remained motionless, and did not make any response.

Chen Qingzhou pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

Soon, silence returned to the ward.

Fu Qingci turned over and stared at the closed door without blinking.

In an instant, she got up from the bed, glanced at the glass of water, and slowly reached over to grasp it.

The temperature transferred from the wall of the cup to the palm of the hand is just right.

Not hot or cold.

She lowered her eyes, staring at the slight ripples of water in the cup, and lost her mind for a long time.

***

In the hall of the Great Elder's Old Age, except for the Second Elder, the rest of the people were there.

Fu Lingyuan and Lu Shaocong inquired about the situation a little and learned that it was the Great Elder who called the Second Elder in to speak.

The two sat patiently for a moment, and Chen Qingzhou appeared.

He, as he had done when they first arrived, listened first, and then sat down.

Lu Shaocong asked leisurely: "Where did Brother Qingzhou come here?" ”

Chen Qingzhou took the tea from the servant, glanced at Fu Lingyuan with a slight cold eye, and then replied lightly: "Hospital." ”

Lu Shaocong naturally reacted: "How is Officer Fu's injury?" ”

"I have a heart." Chen Qingzhou was polite, "After all, I have to raise it for a while." ”

Lu Shaocong turned his head and asked Fu Lingyuan: "Did you say that Officer Fu came to Guangong Temple to maintain order this time, it was just her own idea?" ”

Fu Lingyuan sipped his tea, and said "um" very simply.

Lu Shaocong smiled and looked back at Chen Qingzhou: "Brother Qingzhou, it seems that Officer Fu has no feelings for you." Knowing that you came to Jingfeng, I changed my way to pretend to be public and private to see you. ”

"We are so mixed up, we can marry Tiaozi, I really can't think of it, but Brother Qingzhou has done it. And although divorced, at a critical moment, there can still be an ex-wife to cover. If you change to someone else, you can't repair it at all. Lu Shaocong was quite emotional, and he couldn't hide his envy between his words.

Chen Qingzhou listened to his ears, only full of ridicule.

Fu Lingyuan lifted his eyelids from the teacup and glanced at Chen Qingzhou.

The Second Elder came out of the Grand Elder's room at this moment.

The crowd stopped whispering, got up, and looked at him.

The Second Elder's gaze crossed over everyone, stared at Chen Qingzhou, and beckoned to him: "Come in, the Great Elder is looking for you." ”

For a while, the atmosphere was a little sensitive.

Fu Lingyuan and Lu Shaocong glanced at each other silently.

Fu Lingyuan's eyes were only quiet, and Lu Shaocong's eyes were gloomy.

Chen Qingzhou was not surprised, politely bowed to the second elder, and then walked into the room.

The emaciated Great Elder was supported by his subordinates and sat at the head of the bed, his body was full of tubes, and he was coughing violently, and the doctor was helping him to relieve him.

Chen Qingzhou rushed forward: "Great Elder......"

The Great Elder's eyes were only half-open, and he said in a low and weak voice, "Ah Xi...... You're finally here......"

Chen Qingzhou's face was sad: "Great Elder, I'm not Ah Xi, I'm his son." ”

The Great Elder's cloudy eyes slowly turned, and his gaze was a little more careful, and then he recognized the right person: "It's Qingzhou." ”

"Yes, I'm Ilhade." Chen Qingzhou held the Great Elder's hand.

The Great Elder coughed again, and then said, "I'm sorry. The power of the four seas to be in charge—"

"I understand. Great Elder, you are also thinking about the entire Qing Gang, and now Sihaitang is indeed not suitable for me to hand it over. You don't have to worry about me, just make the decisions you have to make. Chen Qingzhou cut off his words and smiled lightly, "It's also my own incompetence." ”

The Great Elder shook his hand instead: "What about people, people? Didn't you say you're looking for? Any news? ”

***

In the hall, the Second Elder organized the rest of the Elders, and after passing on the discussion with the Great Elder in the room, he reappeared.

"How? Elders, do you have any results? Lu Shaocong folded his legs, holding a teacup, with an expression of imperativeness.

Fu Lingyuan swept the expressions of several people without a trace, but he didn't feel too optimistic.

Sure enough, I saw the second elder's gaze coming over and staring at him: "Ah Yuan." ”

Fu Lingyuan had already stood up from his seat, and bowed slightly when he heard this: "Second Elder." ”

"Zhenhua's vision, we still believe it. Over the years, everyone has seen what you are doing and is very clear about your abilities. also knows that now you and the Fu family have completely fallen out. The new head of Sihaitang basically falls on you. It's just—"

As soon as the words changed, the second elder stroked his beard, and his eyes were clear: "Before officially handing over the power of the family to you, there is one thing you must do. ”
