Under the funding arrangement of the Zhou family, the second elder of the Mei family finally went out of the funeral smoothly, Mei Ruojun never waited for her sister Ruoli to come back to attend the funeral, at the funeral, the grief and guilt in her heart have always tormented her, she didn't expect Ruoli to run away from home so decisively, nor did she expect that the first fire of hell would burn to her dearest sister, and the death of her stepmother Chen Yuqin was actually indirectly caused by herself, if she held it that night and didn't kiss Ruikang, then Ruoli would never leave home, The stepmother will not fall into the river because of the rain to find her daughter. Every time she thought of this, she didn't have the face to face her father Mei Xuefei's spiritual position at all.

Ryan has always been so quietly by the side, and will not be too close to her, he has not been angry or angry again, Ruojun actually doesn't pay much attention to him, her heart is now occupied by Ruikang, but Ruikang has been back for five days, and has not come again, she wants him to come, but also afraid that he will come, after these few days, although she is still sad, but she has adapted to the current calm, every day her sanity is clear, the future that Ruikang weaves will not come.

Early in the morning, Mei Ruojun slowly woke up in a burst of fragrance, this fragrance is fragrant and elegant, refreshing, suddenly the mind is much more eye-catching, and the mood is also comfortable, Ruojun slightly tilted his head, and saw a soil bottle standing on the bedside table, which is inserted with a bunch of bright and lovely spring flowers, each small flower has six lovely delicate yellow petals, they are not as luxurious as peonies, not as delicate as peonies, not as arrogant as plum blossoms, not as dazzling as hydrangeas, but their petite and gorgeous are so lovable, Their fragrance is so refreshing, and it is even more beautiful under the support of the white bottle.

Ruojun couldn't help but smile at them, sat up, and gently touched the petals of one of them with his fingers, thinking that Cuiliu really had a heart, and as soon as his heart moved, he saw a small note pressed under the bottle. ”

Ruojun recited it several times, she loved this poem, and this beautiful little hand, Ryan, yes, this was written by Ryan, Ruojun was lying at the head of the bed, holding the poem in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the flowers in the bottle.

She has known his calligraphy and painting talent for a long time, but she didn't know that he had such poetry skills, but why didn't he communicate with him earlier, although she was disappointed, but she never disliked his inadequacy, it was his indifference and irritability that pushed her into Ruikang's warm arms, and now his confession is obvious, what should she do? He's her husband, and she should renew her relationship with him, right? So what is Ruikang going to do? She turned her gaze away from the bottle of spring flowers, she couldn't break her vow with Ruikang, she promised to go to hell with him, she couldn't and wouldn't leave him alone. She sat on the bed and thought to herself.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk" Cuiliu knocked on the door and came in, with a smile on her face, and as soon as she entered the door, she bent her eyes and said, "Wow, it smells so good!" Grandma, morning! ”

"Morning!"

"These spring flowers were picked by the eldest young master in the woods early in the morning, and he didn't tell me and Zhou Fu, which scared us."

"He went to the woods alone?" She asked, a little nervously.

"Yes, it's okay, don't worry." As he spoke, a wise smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Ruojun sighed secretly, stopped talking, got up and sat down in front of the dresser, and asked Cuiliu to comb his hair.

"Is there any news from home?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm...... By the way, Shu Zhi and Xunmei miss their grandmothers very much. When I went back the day before yesterday, they pestered me and asked me a lot. Cuiliu said

Ruojun thought of Shu Zhi and Xunmei's cute little faces, smiled slightly, she missed them very much, and said, "Cuiliu, next time you go back, talk to your mother, let them come and see me, I miss their tightness." ”

"Hey, okay."

"Anything else?"

"This ......" Cuiliu stopped the comb in her hand, raised her head and glanced at Ruojun in the mirror, lowered her eyes again, and for a long time, Zhiwu said: "The day I went back, the old lady of the Cheng family came." I also brought a lot of gifts, and the old lady was very happy. ”

Her heart sank, a burst of sourness, her eyes couldn't help but look out the window, and she whispered, "Very good." ”

Cuiliu couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad on her face, pursed her lips, and whispered: "Grandma, the young master is infatuated with you." ”

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, her eyes turned back astringently from the window, still looking at Cuiliu in the mirror, and asked, "Is he happy?" ”

Cuiliu didn't look up at her, she braided her hair in her hands, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Such a good family affair, the second young master is naturally happy." I have seen Miss Cheng Jia, she is very beautiful, she often talks and laughs with the second young master, he is a natural pair. ”

"Yes, I've seen her too. Jiaqi is very likable and I like her a lot. She smiled, picked up the white silk flower representing filial piety on the dresser, and handed it to Cuiliu.

Cuiliu took the silk flower and looked at the smile on her face, her smile was calm, there was no jealousy or sadness, but it made people feel very unnatural. "Go and pick me a spring flower in a vase." She said.

Cuiliu nodded happily and picked a small spring flower from the vase and handed it to her, Ruojun gently inserted the small spring flower next to the white silk flower with a hairpin.

//

At lunchtime, Ryan still insisted on eating alone in the wing, Ruojun was very puzzled why Ryan never refused to come out to eat with everyone, but she didn't ask in detail, in fact, she was not very looking forward to eating at the same table with Ryan, because there was nothing to say, only embarrassment, if eating alone could make the appetite better, why not? So she didn't force him.

After the meal, Ryan came out and came to the hall to drink tea with Ruojun.

"Thank you for the flowers and poems, it's beautiful, I like it." Ruojun said.

He was stunned, smiled unnaturally, his face flushed, nodded and said, "You...... You...... Just like it. ”

The conversation between the two was interrupted again, and I don't know how long it took, until Ruojun drank all the tea in the cup, and Ryan suddenly spoke again: "I'm sorry, I used to ...... Be...... It's me who is bad. ”

Ruojun put down the cup in surprise, looked at him, he also mustered up the courage to look up at her, this may be the first time he looked at her after the two weddings, although she was no longer afraid of his broken face, but she was still not used to it, she encouraged herself in her heart not to retreat, not to avoid, she must accept his face.

But he had already found reluctance in her eyes, and quickly lowered his head again, her eyes once again pierced his fragile heart, he shook his head, stood up violently, turned his back to her, and said with anger: "I'm sorry, I'm not good, I'm not worthy of you." With that, he limped out of the house on crutches.

Her sudden change of turn frightened her again, and she felt very guilty, why was she so useless? Why can't you hide it better? Why can't I accept his face? How can you be such a superficial person? She kept blaming herself in her heart, she didn't want to hurt him, so she quickly followed, explaining: "No, no, no, Ryan, I'm sorry, it's me, it's me who is not good." ”

"You...... What's wrong with you? Yes...... What needs to say sorry to me? He turned to her and asked, "I...... I don't ...... at all Do you know what you are? He said with his cane swaying from side to side.

"Ryan, you listen to me, I don't, I don't dislike you."

"Huh!" He looked up with a wry smile and said, "Even me...... I'm ...... myself. Disgusted with myself. ”

"That'...... Do you hate me for being poor? She asked.

"......Of course not," he looked at her.

"Then why don't you believe that I don't dislike your looks?"

"Because ......" he didn't know how to answer, he was full of hesitation and doubt.

"You are talented, full of poetry and books, I don't know how many people in the world are stronger, why do you care so much about your appearance?" She did her best to comfort him.

He looked at her very carefully, his eyes were like a small animal, fear, inferiority, hesitation, expectation, "You...... Seriously? ”

She hurriedly nodded again and again, looking at his face tightly, this time she did not reject, there was no timidity, only firmness, he was encouraged by her, her affirmation, a trace rose in his heart, just a faint glimmer of hope.

He mustered up the courage and stretched out his hand to try to touch her cheek, his hand trembled a little, because his heart was trembling, her smooth and delicate face was so sacred and inviolable in his heart, but he had a desire to touch her, he was still hesitant and afraid, and his hand stopped in mid-air. Ruojun already understood his intentions, and gently took his hand and put it on his cheek.

"Ouch, we're here!" There was a burst of laughter at the door.

This is the laughter that the Mei family has not had in a few weeks, Ruojun and Ruian were startled, and when they looked at the gate, they were even more embarrassed, it turned out that the door had been open, and there were already four people standing at the door, and at the head was Cheng Jiawei with a smiling face, beside him was the beautiful and outstanding Cheng Jiaqi, behind him was a gentle young man, Xu Ziyan, and behind him stood the face that made Ruojun dizzy, Zhou Ruikang.

Cheng Jiawei jumped in a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Brother Ryan, I didn't expect you two to be so affectionate, I really envy others." ”

Cheng Jiaqi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him and said, "Brother, have you forgotten what we are here for?" Ruojun is wearing filial piety. Still giggling. Glancing at Jiawei, he took Ruojun's hand again, looked at her carefully, and then looked at Ruian, seeing that both of them were flushed, and couldn't help but laugh with a sigh: "Ruojun, the love between your husband and wife is something we all look forward to, don't be shy." I want to worry like Ruikang that day, blind marriages like you will not be happy. Today, facts speak louder than words, Ruikang, how? On the other day, I said that Ruojun's personality is very suitable for Brother Ryan, but you still don't believe it. ”

Saying that, he looked behind him, Zhou Ruikang did not respond, he had already been shocked by the scene he had just seen with his own eyes, and the three souls and seven spirits flew to another world, he suspected that something was wrong with his eyes, he saw her holding her brother's hand and putting it on his face, how could this be? They had only been separated for six days, and he really thought that he was dazzled by the mistake at first, but Jiawei and Jiaqi's words had confirmed everything. Why is this happening? He couldn't figure it out, she was angry with herself? Just because I didn't come for six days? But can't she understand half of his suffering? He has schoolwork to complete, he's under the care of his parents, he's got his plans, he's going to carry them out, he's going to go to hell for the sake of his two futures, but...... The scene before him disrupted all his plans and determinations.

He was shocked, angry, heartbroken, and he wanted to rush up and grab her and ask her what the hell was going on? But he saw his brother, his dear brother, Ryan was so happy, sweet, his brother smiled shyly, lowered his head, so many years, he saw his brother smile for the first time, the first time he saw his brother's eyes flashed with the light of hope for life, he couldn't ask, he felt like his chest was bursting, he stared at her face, she lowered her head, choked her lips, and fled his gaze in panic.

Mei Ruojun stammered and said to everyone: "Thank you for coming, the mourning hall is here." As he spoke, he lowered his head and led them all the way down the hall.

Xu Ziyan watched Ruikang stand upright at the door like a stone pillar, his face was blue and white for a while, very strange, and pushed him and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Petrified? Let's go. Ruikang was dragged by him and followed him like a wooden man.
