Volume 1: Once Upon a Time in the Capital Chapter 132: Promise is Love

Anxiety and anxiety can cause people to lose their sense of judgment and geography. And he will often lose this kind of sane person, and he must be a person who can't make a big deal.

Lee Sang-ru is on the verge of losing his mind.

He stood up and stared at the paper balls that had been thrown all over the place, bent down and slowly picked them up, and threw them back into the bamboo basket.

The whole process is very slow, sometimes even open one or two paper balls and look at them, continue to knead them into balls, and then throw them into the bamboo basket. He needed the whole process of patience to soothe the anxiety in his heart and calm himself down slowly.

After cleaning up the paper balls on the ground, he cleaned the brush again and hung it on the pen holder, flattening the rice paper to hold it down. After doing this, he sat down and rubbed his cheeks.

After a moment's pause, he decided to get some sleep first. Sleep can restore a person's physical strength, and it can also calm the chaotic brain gradually.

The lights are on.

When Li Xiangru woke up, he faintly heard the laughter of the two women upstairs. He pushed open the door to the study, and looked at the night that had already been pulled down.

The stars hung dimly and scatteredly in the night sky, and it was cool when the night wind rose. At night, when the spring breeze was drunk, I walked from west to north, walked through the road, and met many people who were no longer there. The place where you are about to stay is not necessarily the place where you can stay, and it is really sad to think about it.

It is always said that it is only at night that we can innocently fall asleep like a child. Wake up in the first rays of the sun and live like an adult. But the night in this capital is different, although there are not as many high-rise buildings in that world, the buildings are just as cold and ruthless, if not more ruthless.

From time to time, he went out of the window to observe the study, and the ugly lady leaned out of the window at this time, and the candlelight from the study pulled Li Xiangru's shadow under the eaves and extended into the courtyard. She whispered to Yan Ruyu, and then hurriedly trotted downstairs. walked up to Li Xiangru, who was still in a daze, and shouted sweetly: "Big brother, are you hungry?"

The first thing she asks is, "Are you hungry?" instead of "Are you alright?". Because in her eyes, Li Xiangru is an omnipotent person. Therefore, the difficulties and dangers are only temporary difficulties and dangers.

Li Xiangru looked at the ugly girl, but remembered the words of a Taoist in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and reached out and touched the hair on the top of her head a little dotingly. As if feeling that this intimacy was not enough, he slowly hugged her into his arms and remained silent. He thinks of the present moment, which is forever.

The ugly girl was a little stunned by such a sudden movement, her eyes were full of confusion, and then she slowly closed her eyes. She could feel that Li Xiang's mood seemed to be a little different at this moment. In her arms, she couldn't help but feel hot at the root of her ears, her body trembled slightly, and her voice was weak: "Big brother...... Wait...... Wait for my sister to come down, don't ...... She saw it. ”

Li Xiangru hugged her tightly, smelling her girlish and elegant body fragrance, but was unwilling to answer her question, and said to herself: "I have seen a sentence similar to this in a book before, saying that life is a pouring rain, fate is a flawed oilcloth paper umbrella, and love is the only patch in this world." Only love can sew up the holes of fate and make people live happily. ”

The ugly lady simply rested her head on Li Xiangru's shoulder, but she didn't fully understand what Li Xiangru said, so she leaned her chin on Li Xiangru's shoulder and said a soft "oh" in response. When I think back to the word "love", I seem to be even more shy because I understand something.

Li Xiangru held the ugly girl's shoulders and looked at her dark eyes, not missing every trembling eyelash of the ugly girl, in his eyes, every trembling was like this spring breeze intoxicating, and like the bright lighthouse of every ship sailing at night.

He said to her with an extremely serious attitude: "Ugly girl, meeting you is the most beautiful thing I have ever met in this world!"

The people of the world who are struggling in the red dust can only succeed in landing if they find their other half.

Explicit confessions are easy for people to understand, and it is easy for people who are originally shy to become even more shy. The ugly girl's eyes were shining with tears because of excitement, looking at the affectionate Li Xiangru, bravely kept her head up, nodded heavily, and responded word by word: "I-also-yes!"

Modern love begins with "Hello, Stranger" and ends with "Hello, Stranger". In this world, love is pure and plentiful, and the weight of each other's promises is as heavy as Mount Tai. He believed that every woman he had ever met who loved him here had a purity that the world did not have.

When he hugged the ugly girl into his arms, he believed that this was love.

Yan Ruyu stood on the top of the stairs with Xiaobai in her arms and stopped, the red candle light shining on the delicate and beautiful and charming face, there was a surprise and consternation, gloomy and faint as the sadness of autumn leaves withering all over the ground.

Reasonable, unexpected often does not mean that you can really accept it calmly.

Yan Ruyu seemed to feel that she should turn around and go upstairs, but she couldn't move, as if she was a thousand pounds.

Xiao Bai's eyes were half-open, his eyes looked faint and bright in the dark place where the candle flame could not be illuminated, and he noticed that the master's palm was rubbing and stopped slowly raising his head, making a soft "whining" sound.

Yan Ruyu suddenly felt that she had disturbed the ugly girl, and she gently knocked on Xiaobaidi's head, smiled at the two who had already dispersed, put Xiaobai on the stairs, and walked down with her hands behind her back. He deliberately circled around the ugly girl who bowed his head and shyly, and joked playfully: "Huh...... This girl in our family is all red. deliberately broke her hands to cover her face, and said, "Why are you still shy after being hugged so many times by Li Xiangru?"

The ugly girl stomped her foot smilingly, and dropped a sentence in a joke like a jade silver bell, "Big brother, I'll make you something to eat." Then he fled in panic.

Li Xiangru looked at Yan Ruyu helplessly, but at this time, he was not in any mood.

Yan Ruyu stood aside, looked up slightly, Li Xiangru, who was only half a head taller than herself, and looked at the ugly girl's departing figure with a focused expression, and sighed leisurely after a long time. In terms of perception, knowing people, and understanding reason, arrogantly said that the eldest lady knew far more than the ugly lady when she was not arrogant.

She put away the smiling face she had when she teased the ugly girl, looked down at the new boots she had just bought, kicked the ground with her toes in boredom, and said, "This afternoon, the ugly girl has been talking. A lot of things were said. ”

"Huh?" Li Xiangru still looked at the ugly girl who was busy on the stove with a focused expression, and her tail voice was soft, and she didn't understand what Ruyu said.

"When we went out to the silk village, she was very generous, kind of generous, and she bought a lot of beautiful silk cloth. He said that he not only wanted to make clothes for you, but also made some clothes for her brothers and sisters who left the capital, and he was talking about some very trivial and ordinary things. Yan Ruyu raised her head, and followed Li Xiangru's gaze on the ugly girl.

Li Xiangru finally pulled his eyes back, tilted his head and looked at Yan Ruyu suspiciously, and said: "If you earn land money, it should be spent, what's wrong? Or is there not enough money at home?"

Yan Ruyu was a little annoyed, but suppressed her emotions, rolled her eyes at Li Xiangru, raised her voice a little, and said: "Don't you think it's abnormal? She usually values money very seriously, even if I want to buy some snacks with broken mouths, she hesitates for a long time, and when she buys more things that don't need to touch the ground, she will reason with me, saying that she can't waste them." She just bought herself less. ”

When Li Xiangru heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Then let her buy more land that she needs, what she likes." Eat or wear. You can buy whatever you want, and there is no shortage of this bit of silver now. ”

Yan Ruyu pushed Li Xiangru angrily, and just wanted to speak loudly, she caught a glimpse of the ugly girl's figure out of the corner of her eye, restrained herself, and her tone was still angry, and said: "What are you hiding from me? Why did that old Taoist talk to you and come back as if you were a different person? Don't tell me that the Taoist didn't say anything to you! Don't make any excuses that you need to cultivate! What the hell is going on? Why did you both change after you two came back?!"

Li Xiangru was slightly stunned by Yan Ruyu's reaction, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knew that his words and intelligence were hidden in his brutal appearance, but he couldn't figure out that just these subtle changes could be captured, and then guess a possible outcome. But this kind of thing, he doesn't want and doesn't plan to let Yan Ruyu know, many things should be carried by men, and women will definitely not be worried. After a pause, he said, "I don't want to hide it from you, but I don't want to tell you the truth, in short, it's something bad." It's really about the ugly girl, and I'll solve these by myself. He stared at Yan Ruyu with extremely serious eyes, and explained cautiously: "Recently, the capital has been rampant with demons and ghosts, try to go out as little as possible, even if you go out, don't run far, and rush back before dark! The talisman that the Dao Leader gave you should be carried with you, and you can save your life at a critical moment." ”

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu's body trembled slightly, she remembered how many nights she had been frightened with Qiuhe in Paper Horse County, her mouth was slightly astringent, and she asked nervously, "You mean...... Is there a ghost here?" After speaking, he focused on Li Xiangru's sleeve and looked around.

Li Xiangru grabbed her hand amusefully and comforted, "It's safe here, don't worry." The Taoist chief also said that he should stay with Xiaobai as much as possible, Xiaobai has spirituality. With it, ordinary monsters can get close. And ah......" He sent away his hand and pointed to Da Heidao: "Da Hei, it is also spiritual." It can escort you out of the city at a critical moment. Other earthly affairs can only be done by people who have the ability to reach the heavens like the Taoist of Yiyou. What prevents is the fish that slips through the net, you stay in the yard with peace of mind, I don't want you to have an accident, otherwise I can't explain it to the rudder. ”

"Ah...... It's just that I can't explain it to my father?" Yan Ruyu asked with a resentful look in her eyes as a delicate woman who was afraid at the moment and seemed to need someone to protect her.

"Forehead......" Li Xiangru was a little embarrassed, and he dodged Yan Ruyu's hot expression in a panic.
