Volume 2: Ten Years of Life and Death [58] Dinner
At dinner, the whole Su family accompanied Yi Lunhuan to eat. On the long mahogany table, there are all kinds of dishes that you can't see at a glance, most of which are the sweet and sour flavors of Liangnan's specialties. Headed by Yi Lunhuan, Su He sat in the second place, and the following Su Miao, Su Zhi, Su Jin and Chu Changting sat in a row. Because Chu Changting was temporarily put on the hat of a distant relative by Su He, although everyone was puzzled at that time, no one dared to squeak. And Han Miaoxi has no name, so she can only stand on both sides to accompany her.
While introducing all kinds of Liangnan's unique dishes to Yi Lunhuan, Su He glanced at Su Jin from time to time, for fear that she would suddenly fall ill and provoke Long Yan to be angry and condemned. And this time, Yi Lunhuan asked Su Jin to come to accompany him to dinner on the grounds that Su Jin's initial recovery from a serious illness was a sign of great joy, and he hadn't seen him for many years, so that Su He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd for a long time.
"I look at the plate of Gu Yu meat in front of the fourth lady of the Su family, and I don't know if the fourth lady can appreciate the light for me." Just when Su He introduced the Gu Qi meat in front of Su Jin, Yi Lunhuan suddenly spoke, his voice was cool and slightly raised, and he asked Su Jin to serve him by name. Su He's body was shocked, and he looked at Su Jin, who was obviously frightened, worriedly, and said gently: "Jin'er, so long, don't thank you quickly." โ
Even though she is the daughter of a wealthy family, Su Jin fell ill at the age of ten, and rarely spoke to outsiders, although she urgently learned some etiquette after learning the news that Yi Lunhuan was coming to Su Mansion this time, she was too timid after all. After hearing Yi Lunhuan call his name, Su Jin broke out in a cold sweat. She pretended to be calm and thanked, but the hand that reached out to serve the food trembled.
Chu Changting sat on the side, Yu Guang glanced at Su Jin's trembling hand, although he didn't like her, but at this moment, he was also worried that something would go wrong in front of the emperor, and he clenched his fists slightly.
Su Zhi was on the other side of Su Jin, and also glanced at Su Jin with his spare eyes, and a trace of disdain flashed in his crooked eyes.
Su Jinqiang suppressed the panic and nervousness in his heart, and slowly got up with the grunt meat. Although his face was calm, his whole body was shaking, and his legs were as weak as bones. At the moment when she got up and left the table, she tripped under her feet, her body shook violently, and she fell forward with a stumble. Su Zhi and Chu Changting got up at the same time, one grabbed her arm to stabilize her body, and the other quickly caught the Gulu meat in Su Jin's hand that almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, Su He's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he immediately whispered: "In front of the Holy Lord, why are you so careless." โ
"That's it, it's normal for you to be weak and weak when you're just recovering from a serious illness, so you don't have to be too harsh." Yi Lunhuan's face was gentle, and there was no trace of displeasure on his angular face, which made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, "The fourth miss has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is abrupt for me to let her come to accompany the meal, since the body is still unhappy, let's hurry up and help the fourth miss go back to rest." โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts softened. Su Jin was originally cramped and nervous, but after hearing Yi Lunhuan's comfort, he blushed a little shyly. She stood up under Su Zhi's support, thanked him with emotion, and looked at Yi Lunhuan's pair of apricot eyes full of admiration and admiration.
As if feeling Su Jin's blazing gaze at him, Yi Lunhuan looked lightly in the direction of Su Jin, and on that familiar and unfamiliar peerless face, a pair of jewel-like bright apricot eyes looked at him with admiration, making his heart tremble. Yi Lunhuan's hand under his wide robe suddenly clenched, as if he was restraining his long-suppressed and suddenly turbulent emotions.
"You look like an old man."
Su He and Chu Changting's figures were all stunned. Chu Changting clenched his teeth tightly, and tears flickered slightly in his apricot eyes.
When Su Jin heard this, his face turned bright red, and he said shyly: "I don't know what kind of old man it is?" โ
"When I have a chance in the future, I will talk to you slowly. At this moment, you can go back to your room and rest. Yi Lunhuan smiled in a breathy voice, and looked at Su Jin's face with a misty and gentle gaze.
Su He frowned slightly. In the future, where will it come in the future?
Su Jin responded in a low voice, and then after being helped back to the room by the maid, Yi Lunhuan turned his gaze to Chu Changting, who was holding the meat, and a trace of complicated emotion flashed in his narrow phoenix eyes, and said softly: "Then trouble Miss Mo to help me serve the food." โ
Su He was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Chu Changting with a complicated expression, trying to see any clues of emotional fluctuations on her face, to answer the questions he had always had about the relationship between the two.
But Chu Changting was wearing a veil, and he could only see the coldness floating beside her.
Chu Changting's body froze suddenly, she turned her head to look at Yi Lunhuan, and found that he was looking at her seriously, his angular face was cold and clear, and he was a little flustered, and his heart was beating trembling and fierce under the gaze of his burning gaze. She tried her best to hold her thoughts, and after answering the blessing body, she walked towards Yi Lunhuan with Gu Qi meat.
Step by step, gently and solemnly, stepping on all the love, hatred, and resentment, stepping on the years that have passed in a hurry, stepping on the sincerity of bravely holding out but being smashed hard, walking towards the gentle and elegant young man in white in his memory.
"Please dine on the emperor." Chu Changting held the jade chopsticks, carefully sandwiched a piece of Gu Rou meat and put it on Yi Lunhuan's plate, and then stood quietly beside Yi Lunhuan, hanging his head with a respectful look.
Word by word, familiar but alienated, stepping on Yi Lunhuan's heart, the respectful but cold tone seemed to be peeling off all the old friendship ties between her and him, throwing the past love on the ground and ravaging and crushing, and then laughing heartily at the blood dripping all over the ground.
Yi Lunhuan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and his agate-like delicate lips trembled, but he didn't say a word. He hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, picked up the piece of meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, the sweet and sour taste bloomed like a flower on the tip of his tongue, the sweet but not greasy juice melted in his mouth, and the delicious taste instantly filled his lips, but he still felt that his heart was so bitter.
"Yes, it's more sweet and sour than the sweet and sour tenderloin made in the palace." Yi Lunhuan's voice was light and ethereal, falling on the tip of Chu Changting's heart like a snowflake, turning into a pool of coldness, "One more piece." โ
Chu Changting took a deep breath, and the hand holding the jade chopsticks trembled, but he still steadily picked up a piece of Gu Yu meat and put it on Yi Lunhuan's plate. When he stretched out his hand, the sleeves were raised, revealing a slender snow-white wrist, which flashed Yi Lunhuan's eyes. In the flash of light, he quickly grabbed Chu Changting's wrist, the touch of Yingying in his hand made his chest hot, and his slender fingers tightened, secretly measuring the size of Hao's wrist.
It's too thin, and it seems that she's lost a lot of weight. Yi Lunhuan's heart was sour, and there was a hot current in his eyes. He cleared his throat and said softly, "The girl is too thin, she should eat more." โ
The moment his wrist was grabbed by Yi Lunhuan, Chu Changting's brain boomed. Her whole body immediately froze in place, her five senses were chaotic, her intellect was stagnant, and only the cold touch of her hand pierced her heart at once, telling her that everything was so real and ironic.
"Thank you for the emperor's care, the people are grateful." After being stunned for a long time, Chu Changting recovered from the huge shock and tried to pull his wrist away from Yi Lunhuan's hand, but he didn't let go at all, and his slender jade hand was clenched tightly, as if he wanted to press her wrist into his body.
Everyone in the house gasped when they saw this scene, confused, shocked, and even unclear. Su He looked at Yi Lunhuan deeply, looking at his face that had not changed for thousands of years, and finally opened a huge crack when he held Chu Changting's wrist, and there was a fierce emotion and fiery gentleness that had been suppressed for a long time faintly emerging in the gap. Su He's heart immediately exploded with thousands of thoughts, and finally a sudden blunt sensation rampaged through his body, and the darkness that had been planned for a long time Chen Cang, two identical faces, but one had to be destroyed, and it had to be able to be restoredโwhen the other face came back.
Su He's body shook, and the sense of crisis of the five thunders made him nervous and at a loss, he didn't know what Su Jin was going to face - if Yi Lunhuan could already get another face, would this face lose the meaning and value of existence.
Su Zhi squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Changting coldly, and then at Su He, who was looking at the two of them nervously, and layers of jealousy rose in his heart. She clenched her fists tightly, her long, delicate nails embedded in her flesh without realizing it
There were inquiring eyes around, but Yi Lunhuan still refused to let go. Everyone, including Chu Changting, didn't know what Yi Lunhuan meant, but Yi Lunhuan clearly knew that this was the kind of love and cherishment that could span everything after many years and finally no longer had to care about the eyes of the world, and finally got the kind of love that had to be given up in the past. At this moment, he felt the slender and thin wrist in his hand inch by inch, as if he wanted to read the years and gaps between her and him through the layers of skin texture, and then remember it in his heart forever over and over again.
"This piece of meat will be given to you to eat." Yi Lunhuan motioned Chu Changting with her eyes to eat the grunt meat on the plate, and Chu Changting's brain had stopped thinking at the moment, she just wanted Yi Lunhuan to let go of herself as soon as possible, get out of here as soon as possible, and leave him as soon as possible. She didn't think about anything, just thanked Enn obediently, and then obediently picked up the piece of goo meat and put it in her mouth and chewed it stiffly. The sweet taste bloomed between her lips and teeth, but she felt nothing.
Seeing Chu Changting obediently eating the Gu Yu meat, and as if he felt her resistance and tremors, Yi Lunhuan reluctantly let go of Chu Changting's wrist, then tilted his head to the side, and quickly asked her to retreat, as if the speed of speaking was slower for another second, he would hesitate and hesitate.
Chu Changting was like being amnestied, and she felt that she could finally breathe and think smoothly again. After a hurried thanksgiving, she fled back to her seat.
The place where his wrist was held by him set off layers of heat, burning her heart incessantly. She didn't dare to look up at him again during the entire dinner.
If you look at it more, you are afraid that it will move your emotions and minds.
Yi Lunhuan chatted with Su He, and suddenly stopped talking, just looked at Su He quietly and coldly, and a layer of imperceptible tenderness overflowed in his long and narrow eyes.
"My harem is deserted, and the heirs are thin. I see Ling Mei very fond of it today, I wonder if Ai Qing can cut her love and let Ling Mei enter the palace with me? โ
