17. Heartache

1. Distressed

By the time Jia Ding found Bai Shijie, he was already drunk and unconscious. He collapsed on the table of the restaurant, his body emitting a strong smell of alcohol, and there were empty wine bottles on the table and on the floor.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to carry him back.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai had been waiting anxiously at home for a long time, and when the family carried Shijie back, they hurriedly stepped forward to check, and when they saw Shijie's appearance, both of them were heartbroken.

Ruyu also heard the sound and helped the family to help Shijie into the room.

Master Bai was anxious to ask Lang Zhong to come, Lang Zhong checked it, and said that Shijie was just drunk, and there was no big problem, so he immediately prescribed some hangover medicine and left.

After a long time, Bai Shijie finally woke up, but when he woke up, he refused to see anyone or say a word.

There is no way to compare Master Bai and Mrs. Bai, and my sister Ruyu can't rest assured, so it took a lot of effort to knock on his door.

Shijie opened the door, didn't even look at Ruyu, turned around and sat down with his back to her.

"Brother, are you okay?" Seeing Bai Shijie's trance-like appearance, Bai Ruyu was distressed and anxious.

Bai Shijie didn't answer, and kept staring at the ceiling with a blank gaze.

Seeing his expression, Bai Ruyu wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to speak.

After a long while, Shijie finally spoke.

"Actually, I should have found out, didn't I?" Bai Shijie didn't raise his eyelids, and his voice was extremely soft, as if he was asking Ruyu, and as if he was talking to himself.

"Brother, don't say it, it's not your fault." Ruyu said distressedly.

"No, sister, she looks so much like you, even her name is so similar, why didn't I think of it a long time ago?" Shijie smiled bitterly as he spoke.

"That's not the case, Shijie, I know that all this is too sudden, too difficult to accept, all this is really cruel to you, but don't torture yourself anymore, okay?"

"Sister, do you know, she is so beautiful, she is as pure as the moon in the sky, I have always felt that she is like a dream of mine, I have always felt that she is like a dream of mine, until now I have found out that she is really just a dream of mine, and in the end I still lost her - but I didn't expect to lose it in such a way."

"Shijie, don't talk about it."

"Sister, tell me, why is this?"

"Shijie, my sister doesn't want to tell you some big truths, I just hope you can cheer up a little, there are many things in life that we can't control, it's not anyone's fault, my sister just hopes that you can look down on it, look away a little, and promise my sister, don't drill the horns of the bull, okay?"

Shijie didn't speak, staring vacantly into the distance.

"Brother, in fact, Rufeng has not left you, but her identity has become our 'sister', in this world, not only the love between men and women, but also family affection is also a very beautiful and precious feeling, isn't it?"

Ruyu paused for a moment, and then said, "In the future, you can still accompany her and take care of her, can't you?" Blood relationship is predestined, and it's also a wonderful fate, you know? ”

Sister, don't talk about it," Shijie stood up suddenly, "I want to be alone and quiet." ”

"Shijie." Ruyu also stood up and walked to him anxiously, for fear that he would make some drastic moves.

"Sister, I'm tired, just let me be alone for a while."

After Shijie finished speaking, he opened the door with a clear intention.

Ruyu had no choice but to leave, turned around and glanced at Bai Shijie, shook her head, and sighed lightly.

2. Sisters meet

Ruyu left Shijie's room and turned back to find Master Bai.

"Ruyu, how is Shijie?" Master Bai asked.

Ruyu just shook her head.

Old Man Bai was worried, but there was nothing he could do.

"Father, I want to go and see Rufeng."

"Really? I also have this intention, I have always wanted her to go home, but I am worried that she still refuses to face me, you are her biological sister, I want you to help me persuade her to go home as soon as possible. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Rufeng, she is my biological sister, a member of our Bai family, and I also want to be with my sister. ”

In this way, Ruyu came to Qingfeng Villa.

The first person to see Ruyu was chasing the wind.

"Miss Bai, why are you here?" Chasing the wind had surprise written on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

"I'll take a look at the wind. Brother Yin, it's good if you call me Ruyu. Ruyu also smiled at the venture chaser.

"How dare you, Miss Bai's name can be shouted casually by a coarse person."

"Brother Yin, how can you say that, you are the eldest brother of the wind, and naturally you are also my eldest brother, if you say so, you will be outside."

When Chaifeng heard this, he touched his head in embarrassment, and he was cute.

"By the way, like the wind, how is she?" Ruyu asked.

"Rufeng, her spirit is not very good, and she eats very little, but fortunately, the second brother has been taking care of her."

Ruyu sighed lightly and asked, "Can I go see her?" ”

"Of course, please here."

So, Ruyu entered Rufeng's room.

At this time, Ling Feng was not there, Rufeng was sitting on the bed alone, his head leaning on the head of the bed, his eyes were sad and melancholy, and he had the charm of Daiyu.

"Like the wind." Ruyu called softly.

Rufeng raised his eyes slightly, saw that it was Ruyu, and asked with some surprise, "You-why are you here?" ”

"Rufeng, are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine, Sister Laobai bothered."

"Silly boy, what Sister Bai, I'm your own sister."

If the wind doesn't speak, there is a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

"Rufeng, in fact, I only knew for the first time that day, it turns out that I still have a biological sister, and I also know for the first time that my mother who has taken care of me since I was a child is not my biological mother," Ruyu said, "However, I am very happy to have a sister like you, I am really happy." ”

Ruyu continued, "I now know why I liked you so much from the first time I saw you - the blood between us is thicker than water." ”

"Sister." Like the wind moved, I couldn't help but say.

"My poor sister." Ruyu said, taking Rufeng into her arms and gently stroking her hair.

After a long time, Ruyu asked, "Rufeng, are you willing to go home with me?" ”

"Home? Where is the home to go to? ”

"Of course it's the Bai family."

Rufeng shook his head vigorously.

"Why?" Ruyu asked again.

"Since my mother took me away from the Bai family back then, why should I go back alone?"

"What did you say, silly boy, are you blaming our father?"

"I don't know, but I really don't want to face him, and besides, I can't face ......"

"You meanβ€”Shijie?" Ruyu asked cautiously.

Rufeng nodded in acquiescence, his eyes full of sadness.

Ruyu originally wanted to persuade Rufeng and Shijie more, but when she thought of Shijie's situation before, she still felt that it was better to say less.

After all, people in this situation will be more irritated by talking too much.

Ruyu only hopes that time can dilute the pain and sorrow, so that these two young people can get out of the haze and welcome the sunshine as soon as possible.

3. Be honest with each other

Since Rufeng came back, Chasing Wind and Ling Feng's daily central work is to accompany her, thinking of various ways to make her happy.

Chasing the wind continues his style of "buying, buying, buying", what pastries, snacks, melons and fruits, buy them every day.

In fact, Rufeng can't eat so much, but this piece of mind chasing the wind is like the wind in his eyes and in his heart.

Zi'er has a good mouth, and the food carefully prepared by the wind is finally packed into her stomach, but there are many more such as the wind.

Sister-in-law Alan was a little reluctant in her heart, and reminded Zi'er many times. But Rufeng didn't mind, but shared the best food with her.

Seeing Zi'er eat so satisfied, like the wind is so envious, only those who have no worries in their hearts can eat so happily. Otherwise, even if it is a gluttonous feast, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, it is tasteless and difficult to swallow.

Ling Feng often dragged Rufeng out for a walk, accompanied her to fly kites, danced swords to her, told her jokes, and tried every means to divert her attention and prevent her from thinking about those unhappy things.

After all, chasing the wind is a person with public office, so the person who accompanies Rufeng the most is still Ling Feng.

Perhaps, time is really the medicine that can dilute everything.

After a long time, the situation of the wind gradually improved.

It's just that she doesn't want to go back to the Bai family.

Maybe it's because you don't want to touch those memories anymore; Or perhaps, she was reluctant to leave the Yin family.

We don't know all this.

I only know that when she was most sad and sad, Ling Feng had always accompanied her carefully and guarded her.

Slowly, an indescribable affection developed between the two.

On this day, the wind picked up the embroidery that had not been touched for a long time.

A stitch and a thread, like the wind embroidered very seriously, she has not been so focused for a long time.

Ling Feng walked in, and Rufeng didn't notice it at all.

Ling Feng approached like the wind and stepped in.

"Like the wind, what are you embroidering?" Ling Feng asked softly.

Rufeng, who was immersed in her own world, was startled, and hurriedly got up, who knows, her forehead accidentally touched Ling Feng's face, and the four eyes were facing each other, and each other's breathing could be clearly felt.

This time Rufeng became even more flustered, his body shook, and the embroidery in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

Rufeng was about to bend down to pick it up, but Ling Feng stopped her, "I'll come." ”

Rufeng hurriedly withdrew the hand that was stopped by Ling Feng, took the handkerchief in Ling Feng's hand, and his heart beat extremely fast.

Ling Feng saw Rufeng's expression and asked, "Rufeng, did I scare you?" ”

Rufeng hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm sorry, I just lost my temper - I must have looked ugly just now." ”

Ling Feng smiled, "No, I think, it's cute." ”

Hearing this, Rufeng's face turned even redder.

As everyone knows, Ling Feng's affectionate gaze frightened Rufeng.

Ling Feng didn't have any scruples about Rufeng with a shy face, he looked straight at Rufeng and said to her,

"Like the wind, I, I have something to say to you."

For some reason, Ling Feng's tone suddenly became so serious, and he looked at him suspiciously.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "There are some words that I have hidden in my heart for a long time, once, I thought I would never say them in my life, but today, ......"

Ling Feng was about to speak, when he suddenly stopped again.

Rufeng was even more puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what happened to this always straightforward brother today.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Ling Feng glanced at Rufeng and said, "I know I shouldn't have said it, butβ€”can you promise me first, no matter what I say, don't be scared, and don't blame me." ”

"Brother, you ......"

"Can you promise me first?"

Rufeng thought to herself, what else could scare me now, so she nodded.

"That day, I said to you, I will always be your brother, in fact, I am not sincere."

"Brother, what did you say?" Rufeng was very surprised.

"Actually, when you were very young, I was thinking how nice it would be if I wasn't your brother. If you are my sister, one day you will leave me, and I just want to be by your side for the rest of my life, accompany you, and take care of you. Speaking of this, Ling Feng's eyes suddenly became gentle, which made Rufeng at a loss.

"When you were 14 years old, I accidentally learned about your true life from my eldest brother, and at that time, on the one hand, I sympathized with you, and on the other hand, I was really happy, and I felt that my childhood dream had finally come true. You don't know how excited I am, I feel that God really favors me, and I know that my dream when I was a child was absurd, but it really came true. That is, from that time on, on the one hand, I hope that you will grow up quickly, so that one day you may understand my heart, but on the other hand, I am afraid, if you grow up and have your own sweetheart, then what should I do? ”

When Ling Feng said this, he was very moved, and Rufeng had already heard it with tears in his eyes.

"Why, you never told me before?" Rufeng asked.

"I ......"

"Also, since you're ...... to me Then why didn't you stop my marriage with Bai Shijie in the first place? ”

"The marriage with the Bai family is the eldest brother's master, you know, the eldest brother is like a father. But, in fact, when my eldest brother first told me about it, my whole world collapsed. However, I never had the courage to stop him. Later, when I saw your eyes on Bai Shijie and his deep affection for you, I felt that I should not destroy you. ”

"Why are you so stupid, why did you never tell me?"

"Say it now, is it too late?"

"Then, if Bai Shijie is not my brother, do you plan to keep me in the dark for the rest of your life?"

"As long as you are happy, I will silently guard you for the rest of my life, and that's enough." Ling Feng lowered his eyes and said.

Like the wind, I finally couldn't hold back, and tears rained down.

After a moment, she collected her emotions a little and asked him, "Do you know these thoughts of yours, big brother?" ”

Ling Feng shook his head, "Big brother doesn't know, these words originally belonged to you alone. ”

After saying this, Ling Feng looked at Rufeng seriously, seeing her blush and heartbeat.

Ling Feng realized his gaffe, "Of course, these are just my thoughts alone, I don't know what you think, you don't need to be disturbed by my thoughts, you just need to be true to your own thoughts." ”

"I ......" for a while, I really didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to be burdened, these words I said to you today are not to put pressure on you, and I don't need your answer, I just want to tell you that even if you lose everything, as long as you turn back, you can see me."

Rufeng bowed his head and was silent, and just like that, the air was silent for a few minutes.

Finally, Ling Feng still broke the silence, "Okay, Rufeng, I'm done with what I want to say, I'll leave first, you rest early." ”
