Chapter 40: Thirteen Years Ago
Chu Shung is a precocious person, so as the successor of the Chu family, he has been a child who has made his family proud since he was a child.
From a very young age, he understood his responsibilities and always tried to see any problems he encountered with the eyes of an adult.
The elders in the family like him the most like his steady and self-contained appearance, and they all cultivate him intentionally or unintentionally, so since he was a child, the elders in the family will not deliberately avoid him when talking about some things.
In other people's homes when the children are still enjoying their childhood; Thanks to the blessings of the elders, Chu Shung saw the dirt and dirt in the upper class circle of Jiangcheng when he was not very old.
For those things he heard since he was a child, Chu Shung will selectively remember them according to the importance of the things; Many things will gradually disappear in his mind because they are not important enough, but there is one thing that he will never forget.
My father came home early that day, and the first thing he did when he came back was to visit his and his sister's room.
Chu Shung was painting with her sister in her room that day, when his father rushed into the room and startled both him and his sister; Later, when his father saw that he and his sister were safely at home, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
After that, his father called him to the study, and told him that the young master of the Qin family was kidnapped when he got out of school this afternoon, and the person who kidnapped him was the driver of the Qin family, and the driver was the opponent of the Qin family pretending to be him.
During that time, the Chu family and the Qin family cooperated several times in succession, and Chu Shung's father was afraid that something would happen to him and his sister, so he didn't let him go out to school for several days until the little master of the Qin family was found back.
Chu Shung is one year younger than Qin Shengxing, he was ten years old when Qin Shengxing had an accident, and he was already able to understand what the nature of kidnapping was, not to mention that he was still a precocious child.
In the days when he stayed at home and didn't go to school, Chu Shung had been worried about Qin Shengxing in his heart; Although he and Qin Shengxing had only met a few times at the banquet of adults, although Qin Shengxing only nodded coldly every time he saw him, he was indeed worried about Qin Shengxing.
Children's hearts are not as complicated as adults, and their worries are just worries.
Later, Qin Shengxing was found, and Chu Shung followed his parents to visit Qin's house once; After Qin Shengxing was rescued, he had a serious illness and has been recuperating at home.
The adults came to Qin's house under the pretext of visiting and talked to Qin Shengxing's parents about other things, while Chu Shung was sent to Qin Shengxing's room to talk.
When Chu Shung entered Qin Shengxing's room, Qin Shengxing was still sleeping, there was no one else in the room, Chu Shung approached Qin Shengxing's bedside and saw that Qin Shengxing was still on a drip.
There is nothing fun for people who are asleep, Chu Shung, who has been worried about Qin Shengxing, when he saw Qin Shengxing asleep on the bed, he only felt bored in his heart, he stood silently in place for a while, thinking that it was better to listen to the adults talk.
Chu Shung turned around and wanted to go outside the room, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a few low whispers from the bed behind him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll hold your hand, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"
"I'll come back for you, I'll definitely come back for you, I'll be back......."
"Goodbye, no, not goodbye, I'll be with you......"
“........”
Chu Shung turned back and walked to Qin Shengxing's bedside, he thought that Qin Shengxing had woken up, but who knew that when he walked to the bedside, he saw that Qin Shengxing was still sleeping with his eyes closed.
It's just that Qin Shengxing's pale face was terrifying, and his mouth kept talking intermittently, and Chu Shung leaned in to listen, but he didn't hear it very clearly.
Although he was precocious, he was only a ten-year-old child in the end, and seeing Qin Shengxing's appearance, Chu Shung was extremely frightened.
There was no one else in the room except him, and the adults were all talking downstairs, and if something happened to Qin Shengxing, no one would find out.
Qin Shengxing was still talking about something intermittently, Chu Shung was afraid that something would really happen to Qin Shengxing, so he reached out and shook Qin Shengxing, wanting to shake Qin Shengxing awake.
"What are you doing?" Chu Shung was shaking Qin Shengxing with all his strength, so Qin Shengxing was quickly woken up by him; Qin Shengxing didn't sleep well, but after being woken up by his violent behavior, the whole person exuded displeasure.
The difference between children is only one year older than the sky, Chu Shung looked at Qin Shengxing who was frowning, and the fear in his heart did not decrease at all.
"You...... You've just been talking in your sleep, and you've been talking, and I'm scared, so I woke you up. Chu Shung explained to Qin Shengxing.
"Who are you?" Qin Shengxing half-sat on the bed, frowned and asked Chu Shung, "Why are you in my room, who let you in?" ”
"Auntie asked me to come in, I'm Chu Shung, I met you at the banquet before, don't you remember me?"
"I don't remember." Qin Shengxing coldly interrupted Chu Shung, pointed in the direction of the door and said to him, "You go out, I'm going to go back to sleep." ”
"You ......" The young Chu Shung was a little angry with Qin Shengxing's attitude, but when he saw Qin Shengxing's pale face because of illness, he thought of what he had experienced, and felt unbearable, and in the end, he had to obediently listen to Qin Shengxing's words and go out.
However, when he walked to the door, he turned his head again and said to Qin Shengxing, "Do you know that you just said in your dream?" I hear you say as if you're telling someone that you'll be there for him...... I don't know who you're talking about, but you have to remember not to miss your appointment. ”
"Got it, you don't have to worry about it." What replied to him was Qin Shengxing's cold voice.
I don't know why, Chu Shung has always kept this matter in his heart; Later, when he heard his father say that the young master of the Qin family was sent abroad to study, he was still wondering if Qin Shengxing had fulfilled his agreement with that person later.
The memory came to an abrupt end here, this was Chu Shung's last memory of Qin Shengxing thirteen years ago, and it was also the thing he remembered most clearly about Qin Shengxing.
"Brother? Elder brother? What's wrong with you, brother? Chu Shuyue's hand shook in front of Chu Shung's eyes, and she kept calling his name out loud.
"Huh? What's wrong with the moon? Chu Shung's thoughts jumped out of his memories, and he asked Chu Shuyue what he asked him to do for some reason.
"Brother, we were obviously listening to Yiqiu, why did you start to be in a daze?" Chu Shuyue complained to Chu Shung with hatred that iron could not become steel, "Do you know how many lives I have called you=, and you have been ignoring me." ”
“....... Is it? Chu Shung smiled apologetically, "I just heard Miss Su talk about thirteen years ago, so I suddenly remembered some things when I was a child." ”
"Things to do when you were a kid? What's the matter? Tell me about it. Chu Shuyue listened to the story vigorously, and grabbed Chu Shung's arm and asked him to tell him a story to himself.
Chu Shung glanced at Su Yiqiu with a complicated expression, shook Chu Shuyue's hand away and said, "It's all about your brother Liu Yang, you won't want to hear it." ”
"About Liu Yang?" Sure enough, as Chu Shung said, hearing Liu Yang's name, Chu Shuyue was instantly deflated and lost interest in listening to the story.
"You." Seeing Chu Shuyue's reaction, Chu Shung shook his head helplessly and smiled, "What kind of enmity do you have with Liu Yang, every time you get together, it's like an enemy." ”
Chu Shuyue's face turned red in a place where Chu Shung and Su Yiqiu couldn't see, and then said angrily, "Brother, you are not allowed to mention him, I don't want to hear his name again!" ”
"Good, good." Chu Shung shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I've been talking for so long, and the food is cold, hurry up and eat, we should leave after eating." ”
"But I haven't heard Yiqiu finish speaking." Chu Shung mentioned that he wanted to go home, and Chu Shuyue immediately pouted unhappily, "There's nothing fun to do when I get home, why don't I go home today, live in the school dormitory, and say a few more words to Yiqiu." ”
Suddenly remembering the past, Chu Shung's mind was also very complicated, Su Yiqiu was sitting next to him now, he could even hear her breath, Chu Shung felt that he couldn't stay here anymore.
He reached out and picked up his coat, said to Chu Shuyue, "Whatever you want", and then hurriedly pushed open the door of the private room and walked out.
Leaving Chu Shuyue and Su Yiqiu looking at each other.
However, Chu Shuyue didn't care too much about it in the end, as soon as Chu Shung left, she stood up and grabbed Su Yiqiu's arm, and said to Su Yiqiu: "Yiqiu, you haven't finished telling me about your affairs yet, why don't we talk about it while walking on the way back to school." ”
“...... Good. Su Yiqiu got up from the chair and walked out with Chu Shuyue; They chatted for a long time, and when they went downstairs, there were already two tables of guests sitting downstairs, Su Yiqiu went to the kitchen to say hello to Grandma Liu, and was ready to go back to school with Chu Shuyue.
Grandma Liu sent them to the door of the store, and stuffed Su Yiqiu with a few things to eat, and asked her to take them to Xiaolin and a few of them to eat; Su Yiqiu thanked Grandma Liu and accepted it with a smile.
"Yiqiu, I haven't asked you yet, how did you get back together with your boyfriend? After all, it's been thirteen years, and you can't remember what he looks like, but it's amazing that you can meet him again. ”
On the way back to school, Chu Shuyue held Su Yiqiu's arm intimately, Su Yiqiu had already been accustomed to Chu Shuyue's closeness to her, so she didn't feel any discomfort anymore.
How did "......" meet again? Su Yiqiu recalled in his mind the oolong that happened in the hotel that day; recalled the words that Su Zhenli had said in the Su family's study; I recall the photos of the engagement ceremony on the screen of my phone that lit up in the dark room......
She smiled lightly, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you and your brother for this." ”
