In the study of the Lu Mansion, Lu Ren was busy with himself, and on the desk, it could be said that there were all kinds of messy volumes. Looking at Lu Ren looking at the file on the table, sometimes lying on the desk, sometimes thinking, and occasionally being stunned for a while.

On the side of the table, Cai Yan sat here quietly watching Lu Ren. Of course, Cai Yan is very familiar with Lu Ren's busy appearance, and it can even be said that he has long been accustomed to it. But that was before, and now Lu Ren's appearance falls in Cai Yan's eyes, and he always feels that there is something missing from Lu Ren's body.

What's missing?

In Cai Yan's reflection, Lu Ren used to make people feel vitality and vitality when he was so busy. But the current busy state always makes people feel a little lifeless, as if Lu Ren, who is busy here, is not a living person, but a soulless walking corpse......

"Huh? Where did I put "Water Scripture Note"? ”

Lu Ren's low muttering made Cai Yan come back to his senses a little, and at a glance, he saw that Lu Ren was looking for the dossier documents to use in front of the case. I remember that in the past, Lu Ren would be as sensitive as a monkey when he encountered this kind of thing, but now Lu Ren is like a puppet with stuck joints, and his eyes are distracted and slow, which makes people's hearts sour.

Cai Yan felt bitter in his heart, looked around for a while, picked up a roll of bamboo slips at the foot of the desk and handed it to Lu Ren's hand: "...... here"

"Oh, thank you, Wenji."

Lu Ren's response was a little weak. And when the two handed over the bamboo slips, Cai Yan glanced at Lu Ren. I saw that Lu Ren's cloudy eyes were full of bloodshots. But it was only a short moment, and Lu Ren sat back in his place, unfolding the bamboo slip he had just received and checking it. I don't know what I'm busy with.

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say to Lu Ren: "Yihao, it's not early, you ...... Why don't you go back to your room and rest early? ”

Lu Ren's hand paused for a moment, then he turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window, shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy, and I can't sleep." You don't have to stay here with me. Let's go back to our room and go to sleep. Girls' beauty comes from sleeping, and you should go and get more beauty sleep. ”

In the past, Lu Ren often made little jokes like this with Cai Yan, but he only said it at this moment. But it doesn't have the same flavor as before. Seeing that Lu Ren bowed his head again, Cai Yan's heart added a little sourness.

Once upon a time, Lu Ren would always make some moves that disgusted Cai Yan on such occasions and at such times. But in this day. Cai Yan didn't know how much she hoped that Lu Ren could do it again like before, and apply all the actions that she was very disgusted to her again. If this is really the case, Cai Yan will not only not pretend to be like Lu Ren before, but will cater to him wholeheartedly. And Cai Yan would have such an idea, it is by no means that Cai Yan has fallen, but ......

"Huh? What are you doing? ”

Lu Ren was stunned, he was distracted. I don't know when Cai Yan leaned to his side, and he hugged his waist tightly behind him.

At this moment, Cai Yan not only hugged Lu Ren's waist tightly. The whole person was tightly attached to Lu Ren's back, so that Lu Ren's hand holding the pen couldn't be raised, and Cai Yan's voice brought out a little choked: "Yihao, I beg you, please don't go on like this, okay?" ”

Lu Ren said blankly: "Wen Ji, what's wrong with you?" Let go of me, I'm fine. ”

Cai Yan shook his head silently, refusing to let go of the slightest.

Lu Ren frowned, and his tone became a little colder: "Let go, I'll be angry if you look like this again." ”

Cai Yan felt a pain in his heart, and his strength to hold Lu Ren was slightly relaxed because of this. Lu Ren twisted a few times, broke free of Cai Yan's clasp, and then went to bow his head to the desk. Seeing this, Cai Yan couldn't help but ask, "Yihao, what are you going to do now?" ”

Lu Ren sighed, he was a little dissatisfied with Cai Yan's entanglement, but he still responded to Cai Yan: "What else can I do?" I want to cut Yuan Shang, so I can only help Lao Cao save more food and recruit more soldiers. With the current situation, it will take three or four years for Lao Cao to build Yecheng and destroy the foundation of Yuan's Hebei, and if I am diligent and do things better, I may be able to make this three or four years become two or three years or even shorter. Okay, okay, don't bother me here, go to bed early. ”

Cai Yan said: "But if you go on like this, your body will ......."

Lu Ren finally waved his hand to Cai Yan impatiently and said, "You don't have to worry about my business, besides, after the matter is done, I still have to leave." At that time, you can find a suitable person to remarry. At that time, you will be in your early thirties, with your appearance and knowledge, as well as the wealth of the industry I left you, plus the relationship between Lao Cao and you, it will not be a problem to find a young talent. ”

"You!!"

There is a limit to everything, and Lu Ren was tossed by Yuan Shang's affairs and Guo Jia's affairs to become what he is now, which is caused by Lu Ren's psychological tolerance limit. And what about Cai Yan? Is Cai Yan a person who has no limits to what he can bear?

In fact, Cai Yan has always been under psychological pressure not much less than Lu Ren. Even in many things, Cai Yan has to bear much more psychological pressure than Lu Ren. Maybe something else is enough, but Lu Ren just said such a thing at this time, and he didn't know how deep the damage was to Cai Yan. The string in Lu Ren's heart collapsed once, and the string in Cai Yan's heart was finally broken by Lu Ren's words that were almost heartless, ruthless and unrighteous in Cai Yan's opinion.

There was a loud noise, but it was Cai Yan who swept his arm and swept all the things such as Jian Zhen's pen and ink on the table in front of Lu Ren to the ground. When Lu Ren looked at Cai Yan in astonishment, he saw that Cai Yan's face was already full of tears. Before Lu Ren could say anything, Cai Yan threw himself into Lu Ren's arms, slammed Lu Ren's chest with both fists desperately, and cried and scolded: "Lu Yihao! How can you do this to me!? ”

Lu Ren has been in a state of semi-distraction for a while, although he was a little impatient with Cai Yan's entanglement just now, but he was just unintentional. But in the end, Lu Ren is that kind of ...... after all To put it mildly, Lu Ren is the kind of person who can't see a woman crying in his bones, so suddenly being troubled by Cai Yan like this, Lu Ren was a little panicked, and hurriedly grabbed Cai Yan's fists and slammed his fists, and said in a panic: "Wen Ji, what's wrong with you?" What is this for? ”

The string in Cai Yan's heart had just been broken, and the pain that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time poured out like a flood that burst the embankment. In other words, Cai Yan is a little hysterical at this time, her usual calm and cautious has long been unknown where she flew, all she thinks about now is to say all the pain in her heart, what worries, what scruples, she doesn't remember anything, all she needs now is to vent:

"Yihao, you're enough! Don't go on like this! Do you know that if you continue like this, you will only go further and further down the wrong path, and you will become more and more unable to extricate yourself!? ”

Lu Ren was so troubled by Cai Yan, under the excitement of the person, the previous state of loss of consciousness unexpectedly recovered, and said hurriedly: "Wen Ji, don't be like this!" I—I just want to ......"

Cai Yan said: "Do you want to avenge Wanmei?" But don't you look at what has become of you in order to avenge this? Wanmei has a spirit underground, would she want you to become like this? The most important thing is you, your ......"

"What?"

Cai Yan lost his mind at this moment, and the words came out almost without thinking: "Do you know that Wanmei's hatred is not like that at all!?" ”

If Lu Ren's state of distraction just now was reduced by Cai Yan's trouble, then Cai Yan's current words made Lu Ren's people completely eliminate this state of distraction in an instant under the sudden startle, and his hands pressed Cai Yan's shoulders even more urgently, and asked urgently: "What did you just say?" What Wan'er's hatred is not like that at all!? ”

Lu Ren came back to his senses, but Cai Yan fell into that state of distraction. And the most important thing is that Cai Yan at this moment can no longer hold down the pain in his heart, so when Lu Ren pressed and shook it again and again, Cai Yan smiled sadly: "Listen to me, ...... that day"

After a long time, Lu Ren's study suddenly heard Lu Ren's thunderous roar in the dead silence: "How can this be!?" Y-Why didn't you tell me earlier!? ”

The children of the Lu family who were on duty outside the study were dozing, and they were awakened by Lu Ren's roar and hurried over, but they were yelled at by Lu Ren from afar: "It's none of your business!" Get out! ”

The children on duty were startled, and hurriedly retreated outside the courtyard, not knowing what happened between Lu Ren and Cai Yan, they could only guess secretly. At this time, Lu Ren forcibly suppressed the wild waves in his heart, and closed the doors and windows in trembling, and then turned back to Cai Yan, reached out and grabbed Cai Yan, and desperately lowered his voice: "Wen Ji!" Tell me what you just said isn't true! ”

Cai Yan looked at Lu Ren sadly, shook his head silently and said, "It's all here, why am I lying to you?" Maybe Wanmei saw it wrong, heard it wrong, smelled it wrong, and thought it wrong, but even if it was wrong, where could I tell you? With your temper, you will definitely go to Cao Gong or Guo Fengxiao to question at that time. And in this way, whether this matter is true or not, you will cause death, so when Wanmei was dying, she repeatedly told you not to avenge her, and I didn't dare to say these words to you. ”

Lu Ren's body trembled a few times after hearing this, but he suddenly remembered the conversation with Yuan Shang that night. In this world, many times it is just a layer of window paper, and if it is not pierced, people will be obsessed with it; But once it is pierced, many things will be figured out in this instant.

"Oh my God! Oh, my God!! At that time, I thought that Yuan Shang was just taking care of his own face and refused to admit it, but now that I think about it, with Yuan Shang's character as the second ancestor, there is no reason and vision to look down on me, and some of the things that Lao Cao and Lao Guo did after that were not all deliberate...... Oh, my God! How could it be like this!? (To be continued.) )
