Chapter 23: A Calculation of Interests
Gu Ruxi felt that it was better to resume some more formal occasions under this kind of occasion, because she hadn't seen him for a long time, and she was worried that there would be offense between words.
After hesitating for a while, he tried to smile and muttered: "Zhao Dashao, I haven't seen you for so long, don't come to harm?" ”
When Zhao Lingfeng heard her call him like this, his eyes sank, and he was expressionless, with a slight regret, and this emotion did not leave a trace in an instant, curling the corners of his lips and restoring his gentle and elegant image.
"Are you still used to being here? Isn't it a little lonely to be alone here? His voice was as warm as a spring breeze, and people couldn't help but feel like they wanted to sink.
Gu Ruxi glanced at him, and finally someone asked him about this topic, there will always be thousands of difficulties, and there will always be a thousand helplessness, and he always wants someone to talk to. Entangled in how to deal with this relationship, because he is Zhao's eldest son after all, he should not help him escape because of affection and reason, public and private.
Even if his life is torn apart, if he sprinkles a handful of salt to his heart, he will definitely heal in the end, so why bother to let him enter this storm circle?
"It's nothing, it's fine." She tried to give him a bright smile, she was innocent, but she was not cowardly, and keeping her distance might be a better way to protect each other, so she reached into the lake to play alone.
"You two go and help Grandma get some fruit." Zhao Lingfeng let the two maids behind Gu Ruxi sit on the railing next to her, still so breezy and blowing, "In our Zhao family, personnel are complicated, and there are many sophisticated contacts, so it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, thinking too much will cause unnecessary troubles and confusion to yourself." Of course, I will always be your friend, and if you have anything unhappy, you can confide in me and maybe help you. ”
"Thank you, I'm satisfied with your words." Gu Ruxi saw the two subordinates who were guarding her leaving, her mood was a little better, and her heart had thousands of knots, but she didn't know how to talk about it.
Zhao Lingfeng's lips were slightly astringent, he knew that Gu Ruxi was unwilling to marry his younger brother, and he had always had such a desire in his heart, but when he learned that Gu Ruxi was his younger brother's daughter-in-law, his painful mood burned and he couldn't breathe, but he was so tormented in his heart that he never told anyone about it, because this was a secret in his deepest heart.
In an instant, so sad.
"After you left the country, your classmates didn't have any news of you, and you disappeared like the wind for five years, how are you doing in five years?" Zhao Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at her again, many years have passed, and he still has that heart-pounding feeling when facing her.
"In these five years, I have lived well abroad, I have learned a lot, such as swimming, and I once won the swimming school championship." Gu Ruxi discussed the previous topic, but felt that she was a little more relaxed, and the best youth campus time was the most important stage of her happiest life.
In fact, when she was in high school in China, Zhao Lingfeng was her teacher, and more of the students were a peerless man, and he was indispensable to get his help, so Gu Ruxi always remembered that the Zhao family was a man with amazing intelligence, extraordinary charm, courage and toughness, and the important thing was a good and polite teacher.
"Really? Congratulations, you remember that you used to be a famous landlubber, and you once fell into the water, and you don't remember, you almost ripped off my clothes, and we almost couldn't get ashore. Zhao Lingfeng raised his head and laughed very funny.
As soon as Gu Ruxi remembered that incident, he was on a trip to the countryside and accidentally fell into the water, but fortunately, the teacher jumped into the water desperately and rescued him in time, so as to avoid a chance to see King Yama, it can be regarded as a life-saving grace for him.
She smiled happily, showing a childlike innocent smile: "Yes, I didn't expect it to leak that day, if it weren't for you, teacher, I would have really gone to report to Lord Yama that day." You know, teacher, after that day, all the classmates were jealous of me, because there was such a handsome guy who came to save me, and it made them envious and jealous. ”
Gu Ruxi chatted about the past, and couldn't help but recall happily, because that period of the past really didn't have any calculation of interests, it was completely a kind of innocent friendship, and that was her happiest time.
Zhao Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then saw her little woman's happy appearance, and felt that she was petite and moving, and felt a little pity, and now that heartbeat seemed to be beginning to sprout again.
The corners of his lips smiled with determination: "As long as you are happy and happy." ”
But at this moment, such a warm scene was watched by another man, and a pair of immaculate pupils stared at the pair of men and women who were squatting together and laughing.
Not far away, on the second floor.
There was a hint of ice in the black pupils, Zhao Yijing held a cup in his hand, and suddenly he fell towards the rockery on the side as if venting, and the ceramics shattered instantly. One of the ceramic shards bounced off his right arm, and blood immediately oozed from the bloodstains.
Zhao Yijing didn't pay attention to the injury on his right arm, he just felt that Gu Ruxi smiled very harshly at Zhao Lingfeng, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
I didn't expect my teacher to be so frank and generous, but Gu Ruxi was a little embarrassed: "Thank you, teacher." ”
"Don't call me teacher, just call me Ling Feng"
Zhao Lingfeng's sharpness directly made Gu Ruxi at a loss, and she didn't know what to say, so she just smiled: "Okay, let's call it privately." The Zhao family has a lot of rules, and when there are many people, they are still called Brother Zhao. ”
The sky had become gloomy before she knew it, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a very fine grain of sand hit her tears, and she suddenly lost her voice and screamed, her eyes hurt so much that she couldn't even pull her eyelashes, and tears poured out at once.
Zhao Lingfeng held her elbow and looked down to observe: "Don't rub it with your hands, your eyes are all red, I'll take you to the doctor right away." ”
With tears in her eyes, she hurriedly waved her hand: "It's okay, it's much better now, it's just that my contact lenses have fallen off." ”
Zhao Lingyue hesitated for a moment, he had already withdrawn the hand holding her very gentlemanly: "Otherwise, I'll send you back to the room, the Zhao family is a big place, and you are not familiar with the road." ”
Gu Ruxi glanced at him gratefully, knowing that she couldn't cause him too much trouble at this time, the fog was heavy on the Zhao family, she still didn't know much, and she couldn't add unnecessary problems to her benefactor.
She said frankly, "It's okay, just stay here for a while." I think back to the good times I had when I was studying. ”
