Chapter 118: Sophie Jumps into the Sea
"Young Marshal, what do you want to tell me?" Fu Jiu sat on the sofa on the side.
There are several fires in the house, which are very warm, in stark contrast to the cold weather outside.
"Zhao Qiang found it." Huo Yuqian raised his eyes to look at her and said lightly.
Fu Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really? Where is it!? β
Her tone was eager.
"To be precise, it's Zhou Shuxian." Huo Yuqian paid attention to Fu Jiu's expression.
Sure enough, when he heard Zhou Shuxian's three words, Fu Jiu's pupils shrank sharply, and his fingertips suddenly tightened.
Zhou Shuxian! That's her nightmare!
"Yes...... It's him! Didn't he run away! Fu Jiu's face turned pale, and his lips trembled.
Huo Yuqian, who watched this scene, was stunned, strode over, and stood beside Fu Jiu.
Gently tilting her head towards herself, "Don't be afraid, it's all in the past." β
"After he escaped, he was protected by a group of forces, Ben Shuai said that it was Han Luoshu's forces, do you believe it?" Huo Yuqian's eyes dimmed, and the strength in his hands tightened slightly.
Fu Jiu was still immersed in that terrifying memory at the moment, Huo Yuqian was like a life-saving straw, she grabbed the hem of Huo Yuqian's clothes and held them tightly.
"Huo Yuqian......"
"I'm here." Huo Yuqian muttered.
"......" Fu Jiu was silent for a long time,
"Where is he now?" Fu Jiu asked sullenly.
Huo Yuqian's eyes dimmed, "I'm sorry, the person sent was not as cunning as Zhou Shuxian, so he let him run away." β
"It must be the dead rat that Zhou Shuxian lurked in the winery and then put it in the barrel."
Fu Jiu bit his lip, "Don't let him go." β
Huo Yuqian let out a low "um".
Huo Yuqian personally drove Fu Jiu back, and in the afternoon, Sophie came over.
"Hey! Tutor! With a clever female voice, Fu Jiu looked at the yellow-haired and white-skinned girl who came in.
Sophie carried a large bag and a small bag, "Oh, Fu! These are all gifts for you. β
Fu Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why did you give it to me suddenly?" β
"Thank you for taking care of me for this period of time, I'm leaving tomorrow night, and I'm here to say goodbye to you today." Sophie's face was pale and there seemed to be nothing reluctant to give.
Fu Jiu smiled slightly, "Take it back quickly, you can keep it for yourself." β
"No, I bought it for you, I'm really sorry to break my promise, I can't continue to teach you English." Sophie pursed her pink lips and said, her expression was very self-reproachful.
Fu Jiu laughed helplessly, "Sophie, don't be like this, you're not such a sentimental girl." β
"Have you told Adjutant Liu?" Sophie asked, with her eyes shining.
Fu Jiu nodded, "I said, I'll send you tomorrow." β
Sophie pursed her lips, "It's good that he knows, I haven't seen him for a day." β
Day 2
Fu Jiu deliberately set aside a day to take Sophie to visit Jiangcheng.
"Fu! The young marshal is a good man, don't let go if you catch it. Sophie instructed her.
Fu Jiu's face turned red, and she cleared her throat, "Sophie, you don't understand, the feelings of our Chinese people depend on many aspects. β
"He's not a good man."
Sophie raised her eyebrows in confusion and pouted: "That may be that you Chinese are too difficult to understand, and Adjutant Liu is the same." I only know that the young marshal's eyes are affectionate when he looks at you,"
Fu Jiu has been accompanying Sophie, and in the afternoon Sophie went back to the mansion to carry her luggage, but Huo Yuqian and Adjutant Liu were not there.
Sophie had a look of disappointment in her eyes, she was about to leave, but since that day, she hadn't seen Liu Ziyi.
Sophie knew that Liu Ziyi was deliberately avoiding her.
She then smiled brightly at Fu Jiu, "Let's go, Fu!" β
At night, at Yunlong Wharf, the crowd is bustling, and most of the people come to cross the sea by ferry.
"Sophie, this is for you, Zhu Luqing, the ancestral wine of the Fu family." Fu Jiu handed her a delicate gift box, which was full of white porcelain bottles.
"Thank you!" Sophie smiled, but her eyes kept wandering behind Fu Jiu.
Fu Jiu knew Sophie's thoughts, and she also helped Sophie keep an eye on them.
However, time passed minute by minute, and there was not much time left for Sophie, but she still couldn't wait for that person.
The steamer began to whistle to tell passengers to get ready.
"Why don't you go up first, Adjutant Liu is afraid that he has already come, you didn't see it." Fu Jiu persuaded Sophie.
"Wait." Sophie was very stubborn, and she looked straight into the night in the distance.
The ship rang again, and Fu Jiu sighed slightly, "Sophie, you hurry up and go up first." β
Sophie knew this, and looked at Fu Jiu reluctantly, "Goodbye, Fu!" Meet the United States again! β
She carried her luggage and followed the crowd up the steps.
Fu Jiu watched Sophie go up, the big stone in her heart finally fell, and she slowly went back by herself.
Sophie looked at this charming city, and she admitted that this period of time made her fall in love with this place and the people who made it happen.
Liu Ziyi, until now, he has not even seen him, which is a big regret.
Twilight fell like a large gray net, quietly falling and enveloping the whole land.
The sea reflected the colorful lanterns on the opposite shore, and under the drive of the wind, there were ripples like fish scales, one after another, flickering mischievously.
After all, Sophie couldn't wait for Liu Ziyi, who came to see him off, thinking that she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to get off the boat!" Sophie shouted.
She summoned the staff, who told her that the boat was about to leave and that she could not go down.
Sophie frowned and thought for a moment, "Please help me take care of my luggage!" She instructed the staff.
Before anyone could react, she rushed out and jumped into the sea.
"Someone jumped ship!" An exclamation attracted everyone on the boat to watch.
The cold winter water was bitterly cold, and Sophie was shivering in the water.
She hurriedly swam towards the shore, her upper and lower teeth chattering, and her face was already white from the cold.
She is going to see Liu Ziyi for the last time! Sophie still has a lot to say to him.
Sophie swam ashore, shivering with cold and holding her arms around her chest, still a foreign compatriot on the Yunlong Pier, took off her woolen coat and put it on her.
βtha
k you......" Sophie's upper and lower lip flaps trembled.
After a moment of relaxation, Sophie began to run, she was going to find Liu Ziyi.
Liu Ziyi tossed and turned for a long time, and before he knew it, he walked to Yunlong Wharf.
Coincidentally, when I saw the steamer sail away, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Liu Ziyi looked at the huge steamer, which disappeared little by little under the dark night.
Inexplicably, Liu Ziyi was a little depressed, and he walked on the way back.
"Brother Liu." Snow Lotus suddenly stopped him.
