Zhou Yi still talked and really got Xiangyue from Zhou Ruoning's men, and sent it to Deyue Building on the second day, but to Zhou Yi's surprise, he didn't see Lu Jue's face. After thinking about it all night, I swallowed it back, and after a few words, I went back.

Besides, Zhou Ruoning, who had been quiet and didn't look for trouble, didn't doubt Zhou Yi's intentions to ask for a maid, but guessed that Lu Jue was disgusted with Zhou Ruoshui after all, but he felt that he couldn't afford to offend the Zhou family's face, so he chose another person. But it seems that Qiu Ju didn't tell her what happened that night, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed at home quietly.

But this wait is another day, and there is no movement at all on the side of Deyue Tower, and finally Annai can't help but embark on the road back and forth. But what annoyed her was that she went several times in a row, not to mention seeing Lu Jue's face, and even the people around him didn't show up.

If you don't see each other once, then twice or three times, this is not the morning Zhou Ruoning dressed up early and prepared to go out. She changed her usual bright outfit and changed into a pale pink dress wrapped in a white light veil. The three thousand green silk on the head is simply a cloud bun, a few pearls are embedded in the bun at will, and a carved hosta is inserted obliquely. A little cinnabar between the eyebrows of the shallow powder, but it deserves the best in the world.

Zhou Ruoning turned twice in front of the huge bronze mirror to admire herself, the red lips of the person in the mirror smiled lightly, and the flowers between her eyebrows were faintly charming.

Qiu Ju on the side looked straight and held her hands in front of her chest, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The eldest lady is really beautiful!" ”

Zhou Ruoning, who was in a good mood, heard this flattery, and his face sank, and Dai Mei raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "What's the use of beauty, that Lu Jue doesn't know if it's a ghost who is confused, or if he deliberately avoids me, Miss Ben has been there a few times, but she hasn't seen anyone else." ”

Qiu Ju picked up the brocade cloak embroidered with Shanyue on the side, put it on Zhou Ruoning, and persuaded while tying it: "It's the eldest lady who thinks too much, maybe Lu Gongzi is really sick!" The second lady is timid by nature, and she shouldn't have the courage to lie to the eldest lady. ”

Zhou Ruoning glanced at her with a slanted eye, and said with a slightly unhappy face: "I have always thought you are strange for the past two days, and today is even worse, you actually said good things for the second miss!" Say, Is there something you are hiding from me? ”

Qiu Ju was startled and hurriedly knelt down and said: "How dare the slave and maid have a disagreement with the eldest lady, the slave and maid are just afraid that the eldest lady will only care about the second miss and vomit, which will anger Lord Lu and miss the opportunity, the real slave and maid really have no disagreement at all!" She was afraid that Zhou Ruoning wouldn't believe it, so she didn't dare to stare at her by mistake.

"Hmph, Miss Ben doesn't think you have the guts." Zhou Ruoning listened to her words, and was very useful in her heart, so she didn't care, she took off a pearl from her head casually, and said with a smile like a flower: "I will reward you with the sweetness of your mouth" Reached out and threw the pearl into Qiu Ju's hand.

Qiu Ju exhaled, stood up with palpitations, and saluted Zhou Ruoning and said, "Slave and maid, thank Miss for the reward." "I hope she really believed.

"Okay, don't be polite, let's go!"

"Yes" Qiu Ju responded, so that Zhou Ruoning got out of the Ning Garden and embarked on the way to Deyue Tower.

In other words, Lu Jue on the other side is not hiding from anyone, because the last time he made an illness, he didn't deal with it well, and this time the old illness recurred. Although he was well treated, he still fell asleep for several days. Not only did Liu Lingling dare not leave half a step, but Zhou Ruoshui was even more undressed and untied, and he stayed by the bedside every step.

What's even more disturbing is that Zhou Ruoning comes to the door every day, although he knows that Lu Jue is sick and can't wake up. She didn't see anyone, she thought that everyone was deceiving her, and when the sun was setting in the west every day, she never saw him show up, so she would lose her temper with Zhou Ruoshui, put a few cruel words and leave.

Not to mention Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Deyue Tower just opened. The eye-catching Zhou Ruoning came to the door again, and Zhou Ruoshui had no choice but to step into Lu Jue's guest room.

It also happened that when she pushed the door in, Lu Jue had already woken up and sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing that people woke up, Zhou Ruoshui was so happy in his heart, and he didn't care about hiding people's eyes and ears, walked to the bedside, grabbed his hand on his lap, and said with joy in his eyes: "Liulang, you're awake, it's great." ”

Lu Jue was happy when she heard this, and pulled the person to her with a slight force, holding her two hands and letting her stand in front of her. Looking up at her with tender eyes, she could clearly see the dark blue under her eyes, and then looked at the wrinkled clothes that had not been returned for a few days, and knew that she was sick again, and she was kept by her side without leaving her clothes. What man can be so waited by his sweetheart and not be moved. He couldn't say how happy he was, and said softly: "Didn't I sleep for a long time and scared you." ”

Thinking of Ruoshui this week, he couldn't help but have palpitations, his eyebrows drooped, and his face couldn't help but worry: "Childe slept for four days. ”

Lu Jue helped her to her side and let her sit down, the gentleness of her eyes could really melt people's hearts, and she whispered softly: "Don't always take it to heart, you will often see you by my side in the future, if you always care, you yourself will not be able to stand sick." Raising his hand to flick the broken hair floating on Ruoshui's face behind her ear, the hand was placed on her shoulder, and the person was wrapped in his arms with a slight force.

"Got it." Zhou Ruoshui's face was slightly red, and she nodded deeply, just when she saw Lu Jue stepping on the bed with a white sock, she was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she quickly got up and straightened her boots, picked up one and put it on Lu Jue's feet.

Where was Lu Jue willing to let Zhou Ruoshui be like this, stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "I'm thirsty, pour me a glass of water." After speaking, he took the boots from Zhou Ruoshui's hand and helped her up to make her stand up.

"Okay." Zhou Ruoshui walked to the table and lifted the teapot, put the teacup and poured the water. She glanced at Lu Jue, who was putting on her boots, and didn't know how to speak. Zhou Ruoning was waiting downstairs, and the successive refusals would definitely anger her, and Xiao Ai would definitely be implicated. Zhou Ruoshui, who had been thinking about what to do, didn't even notice when the water was full.

Lu Jue put on her shoes and stood up, and when she saw that she looked absent-minded and preoccupied, she guessed what she wanted in her heart. Seeing that the water in the water cup was overflowing, he hurriedly reminded: "The water is full." ”

Zhou Ruoshui came back to his senses and hurriedly put down the teapot and hurriedly picked up the teacup. This is the boiling water that has just been changed, and the water is poured too much, and the cup is too hot to bear. Her hand shook and the cup tilted, and all the water in the cup spilled on her hand, and the cup fell from her hand.

Lu Jue hurriedly walked over, held up Zhou Ruoshui's hot hand to check, and saw that the entire back of his hand was burned red, and he felt distressed. Hold Zhou Ruoshui's hand to his lips, bow his head and blow lightly, and reproach while blowing: "If you have anything, just tell me directly, and hold it in your heart what you do." Look at the hot handle, I don't know if it's hard to get burned? ”

Although Lu Jue was blaming himself, he could hear that Zhou Ruoshui's ears were warm. Such a heart-warming man, he would really be willing to push him into the arms of others. But if that's not the case, what should Xiao Ai do, and what should Zhou Ruoning do to Lu Jue when the time comes. She hesitated for a moment but then spoke: "Sister is downstairs, Rokuro will go down and see you." ”

Lu Jue's hand stiffened and stopped moving, raised his eyes to look at the person who looked down at him and didn't dare to look at him, he knew very clearly why Zhou Ruoshui was like this, but he still asked unwillingly: "Do you really want me to go down to see her." But at this time, only he knew how much he wanted to hear the answer he wanted most.

Zhou Ruoshui never raised his head, and he couldn't see the hopeful eyes. Youyou said: "Liulang has been asleep for a few days, and my sister has come to visit every day. My sister is really worried about your body, and Rokuro is still 、、、、、、"

"Don't talk about it." At this time, Lu Jue was more disappointed, and a cloud of anger rose in his heart for no reason, he was not angry with Zhou Ruoshui for pushing himself to her, but angry that he failed to get Zhou Ruoshui's trust, and it was his untrustworthy words for many years that caused this result. He turned to look at the droplets of water that fell from the table, feeling extremely dazzling, and his voice gradually became cold: "You go out!" Let Poria tell Xiao Er to boil some hot water, I want to bathe. ”

Zhou Ruoshui looked up and undoubtedly saw his indifferent back, knowing that it would disgust him if he continued to talk about it, but there was no way. still spoke: "Sister, she still 、、、、、、"

Lu Jue's hands couldn't help but clench into fists, propped up on the table and suppressed anger: "She can wait if she wants to, if she doesn't want to wait, she will leave, I am the official of the court, and I don't need her to be around." ”

"But 、、、、、、"

Lu Jue slammed it on the table, and the water cup and teapot on the table also shook. Turning around, he said uncontrollably: "I don't need you to teach this seat yet, go out." It's okay not to turn around, but when I turned around and saw Zhou Ruoshui's helpless eyes, where was there still half a breath, so I had to pretend to be calm and stand there.

Seeing that the elegant face was full of depression, Zhou Ruoshui withdrew what he was about to say, lowered his head and said, "The slave and maid are retired." He bowed and turned to leave.

Seeing people leaving, Lu Jue was full of remorse, but how to take back what she said, seeing that Zhou Ruoning would not lose a piece of meat, why did she make her sad for a momentary anger, and she was not happy. It seems that this is not the time to calculate, if something really happens, there is a time to regret it. Summing up the experience of getting along with Zhou Ruoning twice, as long as she doesn't show up, she won't leave easily, so wait until the smell is washed away, and then go down to see her.

It didn't take long for the hot water to be delivered, and after Lu Jue sent Xiao Er away, he stood by the bath bucket in a daze, and the rising heat finally made his face a little red, and also made his eyes covered with a layer of haze. He looked down at the reflection in the water, a self-deprecating smile on his lips.

Public or unfair, I have been indignant in my heart, I have worked hard but I didn't get the results I wanted, but the people who waited were no longer the same, and when I looked back at myself, I was the most sorry and ashamed of Zhou Ruoshui.

But just now in order to vent his dissatisfaction, he made that person sad and sad. What's worse is that I don't know how to comfort myself, it seems that some things must be made clear, otherwise it will be the estrangement between the two in the future. can be pressed in his heart for a few years, how to talk to Zhou Ruoshui? He shook off the water stains on his hand, turned back to the table and poured a glass of water, but he didn't have the heart to drink it, and sat there fiddling with his teacup.

The door creaked open, and he thought it was Liu Poria who came in, so he didn't look back at the visitor and said directly: "Poria Cocos, I'm in a bad mood, let's talk to me!" ”

The person who came in seemed to hesitate for a moment, and stood for a moment before walking to Lu Jue's side.

Lu Jue was thinking about how to confess his thoughts to Zhou Ruoshui at this time, but he didn't notice that the person who came in was not Liu Lingling at all. He thought for a moment and felt that he should discuss with Liu Fuling, and let him give him an idea, it was better than being distressed by himself, he took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision, and said slowly with a sneer: "Poria, haven't you always wanted to know, why have I kept running away, why have I kept postponing the marriage!" It's not been a day or two since this matter has been pressing on my mind, and now I'll tell you why! Because I used the water. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a sigh, and he thought it was 'he' who was incredulous at hearing his words. With a funny laugh, he exhaled another heavy breath and continued: "The reason why I find excuses to escape again and again is because I don't know how to face the water. At the beginning, because of my own selfishness, she suffered for a few years and was criticized, if I met her and asked me, I don't know how to answer, I have caused her to stay for a few years, I don't want to tell her more cruel facts! Because the person I have always liked is Zhou Ruoning, the reason why I married Shui'er was also because I couldn't let go of that first love. Although Lu Jue has lost his heart for Zhou Ruoning when he first saw him. But now that he remembered it, he still had a satisfied smile on his face, and he stared intently ahead, his eyes full of brilliance and deep memories. From this, it is completely conceivable how Zhou Ruoning made him excited and obsessed with back then.

He smiled gently, his eyes were full of light, and even his voice was soft and gentle: "You know what? When I first met Zhou Ruoning, she was dressed in red makeup like a fiery elf, jumping into my heart in a flash, making me want to forget it. As a man, I have longed and longed, but so what, God has already destined me to be destined for her. I was destined to live no more than twenty years old, although I had known the result for a long time, but I was not reconciled, I could not let go of the woman who made my heart move. I resented God's injustice, so I had a thought against God and made the most wrong choice. He laughed at himself and continued: "Do you think I'm funny, even I think it's funny, just because I still have a trace of fantasy, a trace of innocence, that is, if I can live, even if I am burdened with the name of a bearer, I will achieve my wish." But, but now 、、、、、、"

"So, Rokuro, what are you going to do with the water?" Zhou Ruoshui's faint voice came from overhead.

Hearing Zhou Ruoshui's voice, Lu Jue was stunned on the spot, turned his head to look, and where was Liu Fuling standing behind him.
