Chapter 87: Love Prison (14)

"No way!" After listening to the words of his companions, Chu Mo stood up in shock, his eyes that had always been indifferent were full of disbelief!

"What Ling Zun said himself!" Nan Rongpu knew that she would be difficult to accept, and immediately added, "Everyone has seen and heard with their own eyes, I will never lie to you!" ”

"No..."Chu Mo took a step back, muttered to himself, and suddenly walked outside, "I'm going to ask my father in person!"

The door opened, and Steward Chu was standing outside the door, as if he knew that she was going to rush out, and was already waiting there. Seeing Chu Mo open the door and coming, Chu Yu immediately looked up at her, with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he couldn't bear it.

Almost at this moment, Chu Mo fully understood where the strange feeling and the uneasiness in his heart came from when he first returned home.

She looked at the old butler, who had always been close to her, and seemed to have an answer in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes almost at the same time. But those answers wandered in all corners of her heart, and she was not at ease, so she stood proudly at the door of the room, still stubbornly saying, "I want to see my father!" ”

"The head of the house has been waiting for you for a long time." Hearing this, the old housekeeper was not surprised, nodded slightly, and then said to Yun Yuan and the others, "Although the head of the family is currently confined to his home, the crime has not been determined for a day, and he is still the patriarch of my Chu clan!" It's not an exaggeration to see his beloved daughter now. ”

Hearing this, Nan Rongpu and the others waved their hands again and again. Although Yun Yuan did not speak, he nodded slightly in approval.

Yun Lingxiu froze in place, looking at Chu Mo's back, speechless for a while.

In this way, Steward Chu took Chu Mo towards the main house of Chu Mansion. The girl in the aqua blue dress followed behind the old butler, her back straight, like a stubborn peacock.

Yun Lingxiu couldn't see her expression, he only watched her back disappear into the night, as if he had stepped into a maze full of obstacles.

"Brother Ling Xiu......" Nan Rongpu looked at Yun Ling Xiu at first, and stopped talking several times, but finally had to comfort him slowly, "Don't worry too much, Chu Mo will definitely ...... it"

"Huh?" Yun Lingxiu raised his eyebrows, interrupted Nan Rongpuchu's words, and said firmly, "She is a strong girl, no matter what kind of predicament she encounters, ......

The handsome young man raised a bright smile on his face, with full confidence and a little inexplicable pride, and said sincerely, "She can... Take care of it! ”

Yun Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, his eyes were dark, but he didn't speak.

The night became deeper and heavier, and a little coolness penetrated the skin and reached the heart, so cold that Chu Mo shivered slightly. Autumn is getting stronger, and the nights are getting cooler.

The old butler was preoccupied, and walked forward on his own, when the autumn wind suddenly rose and raised his sleeve robe. He paused slightly, looked at the night sky, and sighed, "It's getting colder." ”

Chu Mo also looked at the dark sky and did not speak. Above the night sky, there was not a single starlight, and it fell in a dark and dreary light.

"Miss......" Chu Yu suddenly turned his head, waved his hand forward, his expression changed, and finally turned into pity, and said lightly, "The head of the family is waiting for you inside, you can go in!" ”

Chu Mo looked up and saw that the main house had arrived.

The room was brightly lit and the candlelight was flickering, and a person's shadow was shining on the doors and windows through the light of the candle flame, which was obviously Chu Yu. It seems that he is reading a book leisurely, waiting for Chu Mo's arrival.

Chu Mo looked at the shadow, bit her lip, and slowly stepped on the steps as if she had made up her mind, but when she reached the door, she stopped again.

She stood there, and suddenly she was a little at a loss, just like when she first entered the Spirit City and returned to the house, she was standing in front of the mansion. Blank and empty, helpless.

At this moment, a gentle voice came from the room, "Mo'er is back?" ”

Chu Mo opened her mouth and didn't say a word, but the tears had reached the corners of her eyes. She looked up and poured the sparkle back into her eyes, only to catch another glimpse of the empty and dark sky. In the late autumn night, it was dark and heavy, like a silent monster, lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity.

"Come in." Chu Yu closed the book, walked to the door, opened the door, and looked at his daughter, who had not seen him for a few days, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Is it true?"

Chu Mo looked straight at his father, who had always been gentle, trying to find the slightest hint of panic, panic or guilt in his eyes.

But no.

The father is still gentle, with a warm smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as if he is just an ordinary father welcoming his daughter home.

"Is Mo'er going to stand outside the door and talk to her father?" Chu Yu smiled, and seemed to have a little resentment, "I haven't seen you for more than a year... A few days ago, I had a lot of chores for my father, and I didn't talk to you properly... Has Mo'er ever thought about being a father? ”

"Father's ......" Chu Mo looked at him, even more dazed for a while. Although her father was gentle and kind, he had always been close and distant, and had never spoken anything to her, and she had heard such words for the first time in seventeen years, so she was stunned.

Chu Yu seemed to frown in distress, thought for a moment, and blamed himself, "They all blame me for being a bad father, Mo'er don't blame her father anymore, okay?" ”

Words and sentences are like cones and swords. The long-dead anticipation was still renewed, which made her heart feel a little warm. Chu Mo's eyes were filled with tears, and he deliberately ignored the strangeness in his heart, and finally pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said lightly, "How can there be!" Mo'er misses her father very much! ”

"Come on in!" Chu Yu turned his body sideways and said lovingly, "I have prepared your favorite pastries for my father in the back kitchen, come and try ......"

Chu Mo walked inside, and saw a few plates of exquisite dim sum on the table.

My father was still chattering rarely, "When you were a child, you liked to eat this osmanthus cake the most, saying that it had a warm aroma...... And this green-skinned ice crystal cake, made from ice crystals shipped from Lido......"

His father, who had always been far away, seemed to be close at hand all at once, and the orange-yellow candlelight imprinted his tall and straight figure, engraved his loving expression in the shadows, adding a bit of warmth to ordinary life, and making it more vivid. Talking about the things when he was a child, the corners of his father's eyes and eyebrows softened a little, as if he was stuck in the memories of the past, his tone was loving, and seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, he suddenly stopped the introduction that seemed to be talking to himself, and raised his head to look at her, "Why don't you eat?" ”

"Eat ......" Chu Mo took his eyes off his obviously abnormal father, reached out and took a piece of osmanthus cake, and put it in his mouth. The cinnamon fragrance is overflowing, it melts in the mouth, and the sweetness is in the heart, it is really the taste of memory!

Chu Mo's eyes lit up, and he wanted to say something, but he was choked and coughed for a while.

"Don't worry...... Chu Yu immediately poured her a cup of tea, patted her on the shoulder, and gave her a sense of relief, "Slow down, slow down, slow down......"

Memories of childhood come flooding back.

At that time, she was coughing and red, tears streaming down her face, and she looked at her father with a blank eye. But my father hurried away on official duty. In the end, it was the senior brother Chu Ziyi who hurriedly brought her tea, and she barely recovered.

Chu Mo closed her eyes, and tears couldn't help but overflow her eyes.

The disappointment accumulated in her heart turned into nourishment, nourishing the thirst that had been exhausted in the meantime, and in a few moments it took root and sprouted, and the branches and leaves flourished, piercing her with pain; Partial and bright flowers, soft and abnormal, warm and delicate, baked her heart soft.

"Well... Why are you crying..."Chu Yu patted her back more gently.

"Hmm..." Chu Mo wrinkled the tip of her nose, snorted like a child, pulled her father's sleeve with great affection, and cried slightly, "The osmanthus cake is too sweet..."

"Is it too sweet?" Chu Yu picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and tasted it, and his heart couldn't help but feel ashamed. Chu Mo is no longer a child, and he doesn't know anything about her changing preferences. He nodded and said lightly, "It's too sweet... Tomorrow, my father will redo the kitchen!"

"Good!" Chu Mo still closed his eyes, feeling his father gently patting his back, and his heart was full of oceans, "I want to eat a lot tomorrow... Lots of osmanthus cakes..."

Chu Yu smiled, and there was undisguised affection in his tone, "With my father, whatever Mo'er wants, my father will find it for you..."
