Running back to Yongmei Garden in one breath, her chest was still rising and falling, Zhao's mother was startled when she saw him running in in despair, put down the needlework in her hand, and stepped forward to ask, "Second young master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, nothing." Ruikang saw the surprise on Zhao's mother's face, and realized that he was out of shape, he didn't want to scare Zhao's mother, who had taken care of him since he was a child, so he forced himself to slow down, slowly walked to the table and sat down.

Mother Zhao worriedly stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea, handed it to him, and said with a smile and concern: "Second young master, are you hungry, I see that you don't eat much at dinner, do you want to eat some snacks?" ”

Where did Ruikang get his appetite, and shook his head, just now in the study, the scene where his brother Ryan gave himself the plum blossom picture was still repeated in front of his eyes, which made him palpitate.

Mother Zhao didn't see him shaking her head, but opened the exquisite carved food box on the table, took out a plate of snacks from it, put it in the center of the table, and said: "I told the young grandmother two days ago that the second young master likes to eat the plum blossom cake she made. ”

What the? Plum crisp? Ruojun made plum blossom cake by himself? Ruikang turned his head suddenly, stunned and looked at the neatly folded plum blossom cake on the table, and his heart shook.

Zhao's mother didn't notice his abnormality, and was still nagging to herself: "I watched her do it there in the kitchen today, ouch, but it really took a lot of work, every plum blossom was pinched out by her hands, so carefully, and then used the toothpick to point slowly, pick, ouch, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really can't think of how there would be such a good person with patience." ”

"Hehe, Mother Zhao, I can't do such fine kung fu...... It's really heartfelt......."

"Say no more!" He interrupted Zhao's mother loudly, slammed his fist on the table, and stood up from the stool with a sudden, startling Zhao's mother, raising her head and looking at him in a daze, thinking that she had said something wrong.

Seeing Zhao's mother's surprise and confusion, Ruikang felt very sorry, he was really inexplicable, and lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, Zhao's mother, I'm a little tired and want to rest early." ”

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll make your bed." Although it was a child raised by herself, she was like a mother and son, but after all, Ruikang was the master, and it was the first time for Zhao's mother to see Ruikang lose such a big temper, so she didn't dare to say anything more, so she quickly ran to the bed to make the bed for him.

Ruikang frowned and looked at the delicate little plum blossoms, as if a volcano was about to erupt in his chest.

After an ancient poetry class, Cheng Jiaqi's head was full of rhyme, rhythm, battle, neatness, word brand name, and she was dizzy by those strict formats, she loved the artistic conception of ancient poetry, but preferred modern poetry and prose with a looser format. looked at the homework of the five poems and seven-character rhythm that the teacher had just assigned, and I had a headache, so I couldn't help but write in my notebook: Ancient and modern poets, why are you in a hurry? After writing, I couldn't help but smile, closed my notebook, and sat down in my seat to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Cheng Jiaqi, someone is looking for you!" Zhu Yafenjiao smiled, looking mysterious.

"Huh?" Jiaqi looked up at her.

"Go ahead, don't let Prince Charming wait." Before Jiaqi could calm down, Zhu Yafen had already pulled her up, walked to the corridor, and pointed downstairs.

He held two books in his hands, standing on the grass, his figure as tall as the big tree beside him, the sun shining on his hair, shining with a black and healthy sheen, he lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something. But no matter what kind of demeanor he has, it is easy to make a woman's heart move. Jiaqi was excited, but she remembered what he said that day on the shore of Weiming Lake, and her heart was cold, she didn't know why he was looking for her, was she afraid that she didn't understand enough that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage? She hesitated, frowning slightly.

"Jiaqi, don't go yet." Zhu Yafen was urging her and pushing her on the side, looking at her entangled and hesitant face, she was very puzzled, so she turned her head downstairs and shouted: "Hey, Zhou Ruikang!" And waved his hand.

He looked up at them, nodded and smiled. Ahem, she still couldn't resist him, and walked quickly downstairs to him.

Both of them were a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, thought for a moment, broke the dullness and said, "Do you still have classes later?" ”

She shook her head and said, "There's another history lesson in the afternoon." ”

He nodded, and said, "The manuscript you handed over to the Literary Society last time was very good, and I think it can be published." ”

"Really?" She didn't feel very happy, she knew that he must not have come to her for the manuscript, her eyes looked at him, he was a little weak by her, his throat was dry, and he didn't know what to say.

"What the hell are you looking for me?" She asked.

He bit his lip and said with some difficulty: "Last time, you said that you promised to withdraw from the marriage, I want to know, did you tell your parents?" ”

Her eyes widened, her heart suddenly fell into a deep valley, she was disappointed and angry, she couldn't believe that he was looking for her to confirm whether he had implemented the divorce, God, the man in front of her was so ruthless, so ruthless, so disgusted with himself? She tried to restrain her anger, and said coldly with a straight face:

"Not yet, I don't know how to open my mouth to my parents, and I don't know that you are in such a hurry, since that's the case, you can go to my house and talk to them yourself." She was angry, she didn't want to see him again, he made her feel sad and humiliated, and she was about to turn away after saying that.

"No, Jiaqi." He took her arm, stood in front of her, and said urgently, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that." ”

She looked at him strangely, what the hell did he want? Ruikang frowned, lowered his head and said, "In the past, I was too stubborn, and I never thought about the matter between you and me. ”

She couldn't understand him, and stared at him with wide eyes, wanting to hear him finish.

"Jiaqi, I want to ...... I've always had feelings for you, it's just me...... is too slow, always resisting the orders of his parents, the words of the matchmaker. Maybe it's a bit crazy. His voice grew lower.

"I think if all arranged marriages were painful failures, then the world would have been in chaos a long time ago, so maybe we shouldn't go too far." He frowned and whispered, a bit like talking to himself, he had to find a reason for himself to have a support point for his idea of change.

"Jiaqi, I'm sorry, I was too confused before, if you still want, let's keep the marriage contract, okay?"

His repetition, his transformation, caught her off guard and couldn't understand it, she looked at his face suspiciously, not knowing how to respond.

"Would you like to? Stay with me. He asked.

"I ......" She was confused by him, but after all, she was a highly educated woman, shook her head, and asked directly: "Ruikang, do you have something unspeakable?" You're not a backsliding. ”

She knew him, and in front of her, his disguise and lies were very childish, he sighed, slowly walked to a willow tree, looked ahead, and said slowly: "I just let go of some useless insistence." If you don't want to, I can understand that, after all, I was at fault first. It's me who is sorry for you. ”

She tried to find the answer she wanted to know from his face, but all she saw was his confession, his confusion, his contradictions, and his sincerity. Or, people will always believe what they want to believe, she is between doubting and believing, she prefers to choose to believe him, she does not ask.

She thought for a moment, squirmed her lips and said, "I didn't say I didn't want to." She lowered her head, her face was red to the root of her ears, her wavy curls fluttered gently with the spring breeze, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he could move her so easily, how much she loved herself to be able to forgive him so easily? He was moved in his heart, and he also felt lucky, and gently took her hand, and there was a frank peace in his heart, which was a feeling that he and Ruojun would never have.

She looked up at him shyly, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness, and a charming smile on the corner of his mouth that made her heart flutter.

"Ouch! What are you doing? A hearty voice, exaggerated, Cheng Jiawei suddenly appeared in front of the two as if falling from the sky.

Ruikang and Jiaqi hurriedly let go of their hands, and layers of blush flew on their faces, Cheng Jiawei pretended to cover his eyes with one hand, opened his fingers, and peeked at the two of them through his fingers.

"Hey, I can't see anything, you go on, you go on!" He grinned at them.

"Brother!" Jiaqi turned around embarrassedly, Ruikang stepped forward and pulled down Cheng Jiawei's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, you." ”

"Haha! No wonder some people say that men and women in love are chattering, I saw it today and realized that it was really the case, two days ago, I was still at home every day with a sad face, sighing, but now my face is full of joy, oops, the face change in this Sichuan drama can be learned by you. Cheng Jiawei quipped

Jiaqi was told what he looked like at home, and he really wanted to find a hole to get into, how could he have such a big mouth brother, he was really ashamed. Jiaqi couldn't help but chase after him and slapped him.

"Ouch, no, Ruikang, look, you can think carefully about whether you want to marry this fierce woman as a wife." Cheng Jiawei smiled and hid behind Ruikang.

Ruikang was amused by him, grabbed Jiaqi and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry about him, sooner or later, he will taste the sweets and sorrows of love, and we will laugh him back when the time comes." ”

Jiaqi pushed the hair in her ear to the back of her head, glanced at Jiawei and gasped, and said, "He, he hasn't been serious all day, where can he find a girlfriend?" ”

Jia Wei stood up from behind Ruikang, pouted his nose, raised his chin, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "Hey, don't underestimate me, let me tell you, tonight the foreign language department has a ball, and my target is their flower Xu Manlin." ”

Jiaqi also pouted her nose and said with a smile: "Xu Manlin is a well-known iceberg beauty, you, you will definitely touch the nail tonight." ”

Jia Wei snorted, raised his head and said, "Okay, let's go together tonight, I'll let you see my strength." I'll let her dance at least two waltzes with me. As he spoke, he circled between Ruikang and Jiaqi and stretched out two fingers.

"Good! We'll have to wait and see tonight. Jiaqi said with a smile.

Jiawei took out two admission tickets from his pocket and gave them them, saying, "That's it." Let's eat together in the evening, go together after eating, and see you there. After saying that, he waved his hand and ran happily. Ruikang and Jiaqi took the tickets to the ball, looked at each other, and smiled.
