After hanging up the phone from his son, Chu Shiming hurriedly called his assistant to arrange the rest of the work this year, took his suit and hurried to the Chu family's mansion.

When he got home, Chu Shiming called his son, who was sitting in the hall on the first floor watching TV, and asked him about his baby daughter: "Junyue, tell me quickly, what's wrong with your sister?" Why do you suddenly want to go abroad? ”

"Dad, I don't know much, I guess it was Sisi who noticed what happened last night." Chu Junyue spread his hands, indicating that he was also at a loss.

"Alas" Chu Shiming held on to the sofa, his face was unbearable, he pouted his mouth, as if he had been taken away a trace of anger, "Since it's all like this, let's do it according to Sisi's thoughts, I'll go up and see her." ”

Upstairs, the beautiful and moving girl lay quietly on the big bed of broken flowers, I don't know what she dreamed of, with a sweet smile on her lips, and fell asleep quietly.

His beautiful and lovely baby girl! Chu Shiming stood on the side of the bed, quietly watching his daughter sleeping peacefully, seeing that she was still as pure and beautiful as usual, he was finally relieved, fortunately that person didn't do anything to Sisi, otherwise he Chu Shiming would definitely not let it go.

At dinner time, Chu Shiming looked at his daughter, who was eating quietly and had good manners, and asked what he had been struggling with in the morning: "Baby daughter, can you tell your father why you want to go abroad?" ”

Chu Si thought that if she was so abnormal, it would definitely attract inquiries from her family, so she had already thought of the answer to confuse them.

She put down her chopsticks, learned how she used to be coquettish, and said to her father: "Dad, I suddenly feel that I am very bored in Qingjiang City, and I can't do anything, I want to go abroad to continue my studies and continue to practice my violin." ”

Chu Shiming came to a little interested, it was good to study, and it saved her from thinking about other things, when the time came, she fell in love with her classmates in school and forgot about Du Zeming, everyone was really happy!

"Oh! Sisi wants to go to school, so Sisi fell in love with that school, did you sign up? ”

"I want to go to Berklee College of Music, a lot of music students in my country go here, I'll go here too, they only start school in September and October, I think I should be able to make it."

"Good! Daddy has your back! ”

Looking at the conversation between the father and daughter, Bai Ruoyun's face was a little solemn, she didn't think of the vast world like a man, after listening to her daughter's words, all she could think of now was the shooting that she had seen on the news before, and the killing of Chinese students...... She felt that it was easy to cause her daughter to be dissatisfied with her at this time, but as a mother, she couldn't let the danger fall on her child.

Bai Ruoyun looked worried, and suddenly felt that she had lost her appetite, and looked at her reluctantly: "Sisi, do you have to go to the United States?" Is it okay to go to the conservatory in the center? It's a mess over there in the United States, and Mom doesn't want you to go out. ”

"Mom, it's not chaotic over there now, you see that star's daughter also went to study there, and no one has encountered anything, don't worry, those things don't happen often."

couldn't stand her daughter's coquettishness and cuteness, Bai Ruoyun could only agree with her idea, and stood on her husband's side to support her baby daughter to study abroad.

The news that Chu Sisi was going abroad was only known to the Chu family and Du Zeming and his wife, one was to cover up the scandal of the past few days; Second, considering that the matter between Chu Sisi and Du Zeming was full of turmoil in the city before, the Chu family and his wife chose not to announce it.

According to the tradition of our country, it is best to hold a practice banquet before going out, considering Chu Sisi's reputation, not letting the reporters outside catch the wind, the Chu family chose to keep a low profile.

Thinking of her eldest son, Bai Ruoyun walked behind her husband and pressed the acupuncture points for him, and gradually expressed her opinion: "Shiming, you see that Zeming is already your righteous son, no matter how much Sisi doesn't want to see him, we must always call him together." ”

Chu Shiming grabbed his beloved wife's hand, pulled her to sit on his lap, scratched her tall nose, and said with a smile: "Although Sisi is my daughter, I will not blindly indulge her, half-brothers and sisters can't be together in the first place, I hope Sisi can be relieved in the future, forget Zeming." ”

"Well, I'm just afraid that you will be too spoiled and will do what she wants." Bai Ruoyun leaned on her husband's chest, felt his tenderness, and quietly listened to his heartbeat.

After setting the specifications for the dinner, Bai Ruoyun walked to the small garden and dialed a phone call to Du Zeming, although the relationship between the two had eased, Bai Ruoyun still didn't dare to face him alone, she always felt a little guilty when she saw this child.

Du Zeming's clear voice came from the earpiece: "Hey, godmother, what are you looking for me?" ”

Hearing this title, Bai Ruoyun's heart ached, it seemed that this child was still unwilling to be close to her, she smiled, returned to her usual noble appearance, and said to him: "Zeming, godmother wants to invite you and Qingrou to bring Linlin to Sisi's farewell dinner, the time is scheduled for six o'clock in the evening in five days." ”

"Okay, we and Qingrou must arrive on time, godmother, do you have anything else? If not, I'll be busy first, there is something going on in the United States. ”

"It's gone, it's gone, you young people should work hard."

The farewell dinner was scheduled to be held the day before she left, and as the only little princess of the Chu family, the Chu family had exhausted their minds for tonight's dinner. Although it was a simple family banquet and only a few people were familiar with it, it was still extremely luxuriously arranged, even better than the coming-of-age ceremony when she was eighteen years old.

Du Zeming parked the car at the gate of the Chu family, got out of the car and walked to the back seat for Lin Qingrou's mother and son, and intimately opened the car door to invite the two to get out of the car.

Before entering the gate of the Chu family, Du Zeming and the others smelled the fragrance of the food emanating from the dining table, and Du Lin, who was a small ghost, was lost in the fragrance at this time, and he didn't care that this was in someone else's house and said directly: "Dad, I want to eat that fragrant one." ”

"Linlin, this is in Uncle Chu's house, you have to be obedient." Lin Qingrou touched his fat face and corrected him.

"Okay." Du Lin nodded and quieted down, "Then I'll wait for Uncle Chu to eat, and then I'll eat." ”

Du Zeming put Du Lin down, took the gift from Lin Qingrou's hand and handed it to Steward Chu, and greeted Chu Shiming: "Father-in-law, this is my little heart, thank you father-in-law for inviting us to come to Chu's house today to celebrate Sister Sisi's gilding again, congratulations." ”

Chu Shiming took Du Zeming's shoulders and led him to the dining table, "Haha, okay, come and sit down, let's get ready for dinner, just us tonight, don't be restrained, just like at home." ”

At six o'clock in the evening, the family banquet started on time, and the five people on the field took turns to raise their glasses to celebrate Chu Sisi, congratulating her on being admitted to the ideal college in her mind as soon as possible, and even Du Lin, who was a little ghost, brought a glass of juice under Bai Ruoyun's coaxing and stepped forward to congratulate his little aunt.

Seeing that the family took full care of her, Chu Sisi didn't dare to reveal a trace of her liking for Du Zeming, she pressed the misplaced feelings in her heart deeply, and held a glass with a smile to communicate with her family.

Full of wine and food, the servants of the Chu family are still busy with the next show, there are only two people in the hall on the first floor for the time being, she and Lin Qingrou, watching Lin Qingrou go to the garden, Chu Si thought about it, glanced around and quietly followed out, she saw that the person in front of her seemed to have discovered her, stopped and turned to look at her.

Chu Sisi felt that tonight was the best time for her to discuss with Lin Qingrou, she looked straight at Lin Qingrou's face and asked, "Why did you come to Qingjiang City from Gaoyang City, didn't you plan to stay together in the first place?" ”

Lin Qingrou looked at the delicate and weak Chu Sisi in front of her, and she didn't want to deal with her like she did with Liu Anfei, after all, these two people

The nature is different, Chu Sisi is still an ignorant little girl, and it didn't cause her any harm, Lin Qingrou only has an emotion called distress for her.

She looked at Chu Sisi, who was like a withered flower in front of her, and thought again before speaking: "That Sisi, Sister Qingrou understands your feelings, I always knew that Du Zeming's appearance and ability would attract the appreciation of many women, but I think this is an affirmation of his man's charm." ”

"I know you don't like me very much, I can understand it, after all, before you fell in love with Du Zeming, you didn't find out about my existence, and you didn't know that Du Zeming was your brother, but ......" Lin Qingrou paused, looking at Chu Sisi without any impatience, she continued: "Sisi, Sister Qingrou hopes that you will forget him, after all, you are related by blood, and it is impossible for you." ”

"You be quiet, I'm leaving." Lin Qingrou stood up and looked at her deeply, and walked towards the brightly lit hall of the Chu family with her skirt.

She was left alone in the small garden in the dark night, Chu Sisi turned her head to look at the direction in which Lin Qingrou disappeared, holding her head and pillowing in the long skirt thinking about her relationship with Du Zeming.

She knew, she knew everything, they couldn't be, but ...... This is the first time she has fallen in love with someone else, so let the wind leave her a beautiful thought, just a thought.

……

Time turned, and soon it was the day when Chu Sisi was leaving, and the Chu family stood at the airport and explained the last thing to Chu Sisi in the send-off channel.

Looking at the people in front of her who had been with her since she was a child, looking at her parents looking worried and reluctant to her, and looking at her brother's usually moody face showing a trace of reluctance, Chu Sisi's heart suddenly welled up with a touch of sadness, she experienced the taste of selfishness for the first time, it turned out to be so uncomfortable.

She hugged her father, mother and brother with open hands for a long time, leaning on them to absorb the last warmth and tenderness, after today, she Chu Sisi will live alone, so she must be strong.

"Dad, Mom, brother, you don't have to worry too much about me, I'm just going to study there, it won't be anything, not to mention that I'll be back after the holidays, soon."

Leaving their arms, Chu Sisi held back her tears to prevent it from flowing out, and did not let them worry about her anymore.

Bai Ruoyun looked distressed, held Chu Sisi's hand and kept stroking, and told her with a loving face: "Sisi, when you get in their car, you can call back and tell us, so that we can rest assured, you also have to take good care of yourself, it's very messy over there, you should be careful yourself." ”

"Well, I will."

After saying goodbye to them one by one, Chu Sisi changed his position and took a deep look at Du Zeming who was standing in an inconspicuous place, he was still so handsome, but his face that seemed to be isolated from seven emotions and six desires stuck to her deeply, making her fall into the swamp that she couldn't leave, and she could only sink.

She tried her best not to look at Du Zeming anymore, trying to make herself ignore the hands of the two of them shaking hands with each other, ignoring the eyes of the two of them, and ignoring everything about Du Zeming in this city.

She didn't want to admit that her liking for Du Zeming was love or possession, and the suppressed pain in her heart was about to drive her crazy. Knowing that they are people of two worlds, knowing that they are a thorny thorn, knowing that they will never be able to ......

Chu Sisi glanced at them, and tried to squeeze out a sweet smile, a carefree smile like when he was a child, like an innocent smile on his face when he never met him, let this smile stay in their minds forever, remember it in their hearts, let them remember that Chu Sisi is still the same Chu Sisi before, and let them not worry about her.

"Goodbye, I hope you don't think too much about me, I'll take good care of myself." Chu Sisi waved at the few of them, took the suitcase in the butler's hand, turned around with a smile and walked into the security checkpoint, and got on the plane to the United States.
