Spiritualism is a secret technique that can control people's minds, controlling their nature when their will is at its weakest. The mystery of this secret technique is that it can transfer the power of the controller to the controlled, so that the power of the controlled person can be doubled, but this is also a loophole of this secret technique, because it will greatly reduce the power of the controller, and it will also give people a chance to take advantage of it.

Bai Jiu chased the masked man out, and when he saw him performing this secret technique on Zhou Ruoshui, he injured the masked man when his skills were insufficient.

The masked man was not simply using this technique, controlling Zhou Ruoshui to attack Bai Jiu. Bai Jiu was afraid that if he shot too hard, he would hurt Zhou Ruoshui, so he kept dodging, and the masked man took this opportunity to escape. Bai Jiu wanted to chase after him, but Zhou Ruoshui was manipulated, he was afraid that Zhou Ruoshui would be hurt, so he gave up the idea, and chased Zhou Ruoshui to Deyue Tower, so he stopped it in time at the emergency moment.

Although Zhou Ruoshui inherited the skills of the masked man, fortunately, she was not a person who practiced martial arts, so the skills he inherited were discounted. But even this is enough for Lu Jue to stand it, this kick caused his heart palpitations to recur, and although there was no major problem after emergency treatment, he still couldn't sleep and could only lie on the recliner.

He can't sleep, how can Zhou Ruoshui sleep peacefully, he is close to him. No one slept this night, the two talked all night, some knots and unhappiness were all untied, and the relationship between the two was one step closer than before.

The next day was Zhou Ruoshui's birthday, but due to Lu Jue's physical reasons, it was postponed to the evening.

Zhao Yan, who was already at ease with Lu Jue, hurried overnight after the transaction was completed, and rushed back on the morning of Zhou Ruoshui's birthday.

Zhao Yan, who rushed to Deyue Tower, was in the hall when he happened to meet Zhou Ruoshui, who had been dressed up, walking down the stairs. She is dressed in a light green long skirt that is elegant and luxurious, her eyebrows are picturesque, her cheeks are slightly powdered, and the three thousand green silk are rolled up layer by layer with pearl chains, and the two plain and elegant steps are swayed and inserted obliquely in the hair, and one step at a time is like a woman walking out of the painting, and the whole person looks refreshing, demure and elegant, like dust.

Such a moving woman made Zhao Yan's heart thump, and in a moment he regretted the decision he made.

Zhou Ruoshui, who was going downstairs, was also surprised to see Zhao Yan standing there, thinking about how he rushed back in just four days after thousands of miles. But this was quickly replaced by joy, smiled, lightly lifted Luo's skirt and moved lightly, and took the initiative to greet him: "Brother Yan has been traveling very hard for days, why don't you take more rest?" ”

Zhao Yan blushed slightly, came back to his senses slightly, and said with a gentle smile: "Brother Lu is not in good health, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it, so let's come and see if there is anything you need help with?" ”

"Brother Yan doesn't have to worry about it, Liulang was ready yesterday." As soon as Lu Jue mentioned it, he remembered the long talk between the two last night, and his tenderness also appeared in front of him, and a layer of blush climbed on his cheeks, which made her already moving even more exciting.

But all this was particularly dazzling in Zhao Yan's eyes, but her so moving appearance was just for that sick man, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, and she looked away and asked, "Why didn't you see Brother Lu, he wasn't with you?" ”

Zhou Ruoshui faded his smiling face, and Dai Mei said lightly worriedly: "Liulang's old illness recurred last night, and now he is resting in the room." ”

Originally, it was just a kind inquiry, but now that Lu Jue is in poor condition, he has to greet politely: "Sick, Yan is not serious." ”

Zhou Ruoshui shook his head lightly and said, "I still don't dare to move, it seems that Shui'er is going to live up to Brother Yan's kindness." ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard it, he carefully designed it for a month, but because of that person's physical discomfort, it came to naught, and his already bad mood became worse. Absent-mindedly, he said a few words to Zhou Ruoshui, and agreed to go with her to see Lu Jue's current situation.

At this moment, Bao Xiaoai came out of the kitchen with the medicine, and saw the two of them hurriedly leaning over and saluting: "Miss, Zhao Gongzi." ”

Zhou Ruoshui sighed softly, took the bowl from Xiao Ai's hand and said, "I'll send it up!" He turned his head and confessed to Zhao Yan: "Brother Yan is here later, and Shui'er will give you an answer in a while." After speaking, he took the medicine bowl and went upstairs with a skirt in his hand.

Zhao Yan, who knew early on that he no longer had any hope, saw that the woman he was worried about only had other men in his heart, and he still didn't feel good in his heart, and when he saw Zhou Ruoshui who was about to disappear in front of him, there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

When he arrived at Lu Jue's guest room, Zhou Ruoshui gently pushed open the door, and saw Lu Jue lying on the recliner with his eyes closed at a glance, and before he got closer, he could clearly hear his rapid and heavy breathing, although he was covered with a heavy blanket, he could still clearly see his undulating chest, looking at his almost transparent face, his heart was full of distress and self-blame.

Lu Jue, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, heard the movement, slowly opened his eyes, looked sideways at Zhou Ruoshui who was standing at the door, his eyes were full of love, he showed a weak smile, raised his hand and beckoned to her: "Don't stand there, sit next to me." "The voice was almost inaudible.

Zhou Ruoshui also barely heard it, immediately put the medicine bowl in his hand on the table, obediently walked over and sat on the round stool that had already been placed next to the recliner, looked at him with distress, raised his hand and stroked his chest gently, and blamed himself in a low voice: "If I hadn't left in a bad mood, I wouldn't have been controlled by someone to hurt you and make you work so hard." ”

Looking at the well-dressed Zhou Ruoshui, Lu Jue was full of pity, and smiled: "Who said that you did something wrong, I was stupid, and I should be beaten." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ruoshui's eyes turned red, and there were tears in his eyes, "Don't excuse me, it's 、、、、、、"

"Alright, it's over, let's say something happy." Saying that, Lu Jue raised his hand with a little effort, held the hand on his chest, moved the slender jade hand to his lips and kissed it gently, and said with a shallow smile: "I want to hold you now, but I don't have the strength to sit up, can you lean into my arms?" ”

"Hmm" Zhou Ruoshui obediently moved to the recliner, leaned lightly on his chest, and listened to his heartbeat that was not as powerful as before, and it was like a fragile porcelain, just afraid that it would be broken with a little force. Where did Zhou Ruoshui dare to rely too hard, so he kept stiffening his neck, and after a while, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Lu Jue smiled lightly when she noticed this move, raised her hand and pressed her head to her chest, and said softly: "I'm not so fragile, I won't break it after a while." ”

Zhou Ruoshui raised his head slightly, but only saw his thin chin, his heart was like a knife, and he said softly: "If Liulang is uncomfortable, Shui'er will stay in the room with you and not go anywhere." ”

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, gently wrapped his arms around her waist, and said word by word: "This is Brother Yan's heart, and the first birthday I spent with you, it is very important to him and me, you can rest assured that you will go with Brother Yan, I promise you that you will come later." ”

Zhou Ruoshui sat up straight, let him see his expression clearly, see his attitude clearly, and said seriously: "Forget it, your birthday can be passed every year, nothing is important compared to your health." ”

This sentence was sweet in Lu Jue's ears, and he held her hand slightly, and said with a little sadness in his eyes: "Why is it not important, my life is not up to anyone, maybe I will die in Huangquan tomorrow." So it's important for me that every day counts, don't let me go with regrets. ”

His words were low and slightly sad, Zhou Ruoshui, who listened to it, was panicked in his heart, and his tears couldn't stop flowing, he held his hand tightly with both hands, choked and shook his head: "Then don't let me go, just let me accompany you, what if、、、、、、。 Zhou Ruoshui bit his lip, didn't dare to tell the terrible truth, lowered his head to wipe away his tears, frowned lightly, and said softly: "If that's the case, you won't have regrets, and I won't regret it." ”

Looking at that moving face, Lu Jue's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Go once a year!" There's a surprise I've got for you. As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Ruoshui softly

Seeing him like that, how could Zhou Ruoshui bear to refuse, nodded in embarrassment and said, "Okay." ”

Lu Jue pecked lightly on the back of her hand again, reluctantly let go of his finger and pointed to the brocade heavy cold cloak on the bed, and said thoughtfully: "The autumn night is cold, put it on to keep out the cold." ”

"En" Zhou Ruoshui got up and didn't go to the bedside, but walked to the table, brought the medicine bowl over, fed him with his own hands, and drank it before reluctantly leaving.

Not long after Zhou Ruoshui and Zhao Yan left, a simple single carriage stopped at the door of Deyue Tower. After a while, two people wearing heavy cloaks and even their faces were tightly blocked by the hoods came out of it, hurriedly got into the carriage and walked with Zhou Ruoshui and them.

Zhou Ruoshui's birthday banquet was selected in the Bibo Pavilion selected by Zhao Yan in advance, and people in the Bibo Pavilion can have an unobstructed view of all the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. A beautiful scenery of West Lake during the day, and another scene after nightfall, all kinds of flower boats walk through the lake, the dark night sky is like a piece of black satin, the stars are dotted, the bright moon will be round, and all kinds of flower boats passing through it outline a beautiful scenery of the current color ink painting. Everything can only be said that Zhao Yan has ulterior motives.

After driving for a long time, none of the three people sitting in the carriage were speechless, Zhao Yan looked at Zhou Ruoshui, who was worried about others, and felt bad for a long time, seeing that she was sad, although she was not happy with Lu Jue, who was her fiancé, she didn't want Zhou Ruoshui to be cranky and in a bad mood. Reluctantly, he opened his mouth to comfort: "Don't worry, isn't there a miracle doctor by his side?" It's going to be fine. ”

Zhou Ruoshui said quietly: "You don't see his appearance, how can his weak appearance not make people worry!" ”

Zhao Yan leaned forward slightly and said, "Don't forget that sentence, how could a bad guy die so easily if he has a long life." ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's slander of Lu Jue, Zhou Ruoshui looked at Zhao Yan with displeasure on his face, and tried his best to defend him: "Liulang is a good official who is dedicated to the people and the public wholeheartedly, and a good man who honors his parents and loves his wife, how can he be a bad person." ”

His sweetheart was snatched away by a sick man, and in Zhao Yan's eyes, he would not be a good person, he muttered to himself in his heart; "He wasn't a good guy in my eyes."

Since the two talked all night that day, Zhou Ruoshui has a new understanding of Lu Jue, and his dependence and feelings for him have become one step closer. At this time, he couldn't allow others to say that he was not, but he was embarrassed to blame Zhao Yan's righteous brother Zhou Ruoshui, so he twisted his head to the side and ignored it.

Seeing Zhou Ruoshui like this, Zhao Yan's heart was like a needle stabbing him, he didn't expect that his inadvertent words would make Zhou Ruoshui angry. He chuckled to himself twice, bowing his head and saying no more.

The atmosphere in the carriage became tense for a while, and Xiao Ai and Xiangyue, who were sitting on the side, didn't know how to talk when they looked at this and that.

In this way, the stalemate of two teas was carried out, and after the carriage stopped, the sound of the coachman broke the deadlock.

Hearing the coachman's words, Zhao Yan replied, naturally turned his head to look at Zhou Ruoshui, and saw that she was holding the curtain of the car and looking out and didn't know what she was thinking, so he didn't call her, but just gave Xiao Ai a look and motioned for her to tell Zhou Ruoshui to get out of the car. He glanced at Zhou Ruoshui deeply again, and then got up first.

Realizing that what he said hurt Zhao Yan, Zhou Ruoshui, who had thought about how to apologize, opened his mouth and stopped the person and said, "Brother Yan, please stay." ”

Zhao Yan, who had not yet stepped out of the carriage, heard Zhou Ruoshui's voice, turned around and smiled sadly: "Get off the car!" ”

Zhou Ruoshui sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry just now." ”

"You're right, don't forget, Brother Zhao will never be angry with Xiao Ruo." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and got out of the car. As soon as I got out of the car, I was stunned by the sight. The whole Bibo Pavilion is hung with all kinds of lanterns, the veil is light, the flowers are fragrant, and the decoration is like a festival. And the sick seedling who missed the appointment was standing there in good clothes and spirits at this time. And beside him stood a young man about twenty years old, this person was none other than Yao Minghao, who had gone and returned.

Xiangyue, who got out of the car first, was pleasantly surprised when she saw this scene, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and rushed to Zhou Ruoshui inside, and said with joy: "Second Miss, look, second aunt." ”

Zhou Ruoshui, who was still a little unbelieving after listening to her words, poked his head out of the car and saw the people standing in the pavilion, and all the panic and worries before coming were swept away, and he understood what the surprise in Lu Jue's mouth was, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart. For Zhou Ruoshui, this gift is more precious than any priceless treasure.
