Chapter 14 The Romance Disperses
Zhong Lei learned from Zhong Bai's appearance when he was alive, and slowly leaned his body on the back of the chair, Zhong Lei always likes to lean slightly sideways on weekdays, at this time he made such a completely different action from the past, as if he had completely regarded himself as Zhong Bai's, and completely regarded himself as the master of the Zhong family. Zhong Lei leaned back on the chair contentedly, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, looked out the door with confidence, and smiled kindly at Zhong Yu, who had just entered the door. "Big brother." Zhong Yu's tone was still peaceful, and he didn't seem surprised that Zhong Lei would sit in Zhong Bai's position and sit in the same posture as Zhong Bai's.
Seeing Zhong Yu sitting down beside Ah Feng, Zhong Lei straightened up and smiled even more, "Everyone is together, eat." "Okay." Zhong Yu lowered his head with a smile, looked at the rice in front of Ah Feng and Zhong Lei, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks. "Ah Yu, these are your favorite foods, I specially instructed Steward Qiu to let the kitchen prepare them, eat more." Zhong Lei put vegetables on Zhong Yu's plate, which was also the first time he smiled for Zhong Yu since he was a child. "Thank you, big brother." Zhong Yu lowered his head very obediently, finished eating the dish that Zhong Lei had sandwiched to himself, raised it again, and subconsciously looked at Ah Fengtou, who had just taken a few mouthfuls of rice with some detention, and put the dish into her bowl, "Eat." ”
Ah Feng nodded and put the food in the bowl in his mouth, with a faint look of happiness on his face. Watching Ah Feng chew slowly, Zhong Yu's hand under the table couldn't help but hold the corner of his clothes tightly, and somehow a tear fell into the bowl inexplicably from his eyes. Fortunately, no one noticed this tear, Zhong Lei didn't know, Ah Feng didn't know, and even Zhong Yu himself didn't know.
Zhong Lei suddenly smiled when he saw that Ah Feng was finally no longer detained and began to eat, "Sure enough, Ah Yu is the one who makes Ah Feng convinced." If I had caught this dish, Ah Feng might not have dared to eat it. Ah Yu, just now, Ah Feng was still afraid that I would do anything at this banquet, but now that you give her the vegetables, she can finally eat with peace of mind. You eat first, I treasure a bottle of good wine, I'll go and get it, and practice it for my brother It must be good wine. ”
Seeing Zhong Lei get up and leave, Zhong Yu picked up some more dishes and wanted to put them in Ah Feng's bowl, but he stopped his movements with a faint sarcastic smile on Ah Feng's face, "Ah Feng ......" Zhong Yu just called Ah Feng's name, but the words behind him were never spoken. Ah Feng smiled and lowered his head, "The eldest young master probably thought I was afraid of death, he just never knew, because I always regarded him as my family and was a little detained and afraid when facing him." For me, the hosts, but also the family. Just like my wife, she is also my family...... "Why, it's different in front of me." Zhong Yu didn't know when he didn't meet Ah Feng's eyes, but also lowered his head.
"The answer is simple." Ah Feng raised his head with a smile, "Because you are the only one who is also willing to treat me as a family member, it is you who teach me, and we are equal." Zhong Yu slowly raised his head, Zhong Yu stroked the broken hair on Ah Feng's forehead, and a sad smile appeared on his face, "Ah Feng...... If that day, the eldest brother asked you to put the poison in someone else's tea, would you hesitate? Will it? "No, it won't." Ah Feng's answer was neat, just like the answer she gave, without hesitation. Zhong Yu was stunned for a moment, and a shallow mist seemed to hang in his eyes, "That person will die...... In that case, you still won't hesitate? "No, it won't." Ah Feng's answer was still neat. Hearing Ah Feng's answer again, Zhong Yu's hand in front of Ah Feng's forehead suddenly drooped, and the mist in his eyes lost its light in an instant, blending into a gloom of hopelessness intertwined with heartache, and he couldn't do it for a long time, unwilling to turn into a complete tear.
Ah Feng didn't pay attention to whether there were tears in Zhong Yu's eyes, because from the moment she gave the answer, she no longer dared to look at Zhong Yu's eyes, and the memory in her heart returned to the scene in the rain that day......
Ah Feng stopped, stood in place, held her breath until Zhong Lei walked in front of her, she picked up the umbrella and followed Zhong Lei out of the silk village, raised the umbrella over Zhong Lei's head, her body was all immersed in the rain, she held the umbrella in one hand, and protected Zhong Yu's shoulders in front of her chest with the other. Zhong Lei turned his head violently, and Ah Feng was stunned in place. Zhong Lei's eyes looked at Ah Feng and smiled disdainfully, "Don't be so embarrassed, think about it carefully, if you were someone else, you would agree without hesitation, as long as he can exchange your brother's life." You will be embarrassed not because you are kind, but because you are afraid that you will no longer be able to hide your selfishness, right? Ah Yu is just an excuse for you to hide your selfishness! Ah Yu is different from me, he is good to you, for fear that I will beat you and scold you, you are afraid that if he dies, no one will pay attention to you, right? Want to fly on the branches...... By you, stop dreaming. ”
"It's not like that." Ah Feng's gaze dodged Zhong Lei, but his tone was unwavering, "If I were someone else, I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't kill people for the eldest young master." Big young master, no matter who it is, that's a life! "Ha, I advise you not to think like that, otherwise, how sorry you are for your poor brother." The disdain in Zhong Lei's eyes became more and more dazzling, and then the disdain and silence turned into a chilling anger, "Ah Feng, if I were you, as long as I could save Ah Xiang, I would do anything." But what about you? If your dead father and mother knew that their daughter had started to worry about irrelevant people when it came to saving her brother, would they be so angry that they would get up from the coffin? And also! You'd better not go around preaching your grievances, you have to do it to save your brother, and if you hurt someone else, you will never do anything like that. If anyone else knows that I'm a loan shark, I'll dig your dead ghost father out of the grave and dismantle it!" ”
Ah Feng desperately dispelled the memories in his mind that he didn't want to think about anymore, lowered his head and sandwiched the rice and was about to put it in his mouth, Zhong Yu suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly and continued to ask, "Why not?" You're struggling, aren't you? You must have your troubles, you must have. I believe you, as long as you say that you have a problem, as long as you say ......" "What is the problem." Ah Feng interrupted Zhong Yu's words, raised his head to look at his eyes that seemed to be hidden with a layer of mist, and smiled faintly, "As a subordinate, it is natural for the master to complete the order given by him." As long as the master doesn't treat me badly, I will do anything. I make a living from this, and I can only ...... by listening to my master's words Have food to eat, live. ”
Zhong Yu slowly let go of his hand, and in an instant, the layer of mist that had been hidden in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and finally fell down precariously. Zhong Yu picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and stopped looking at Ah Feng's face, "Eat." ”
Not long after, Zhong Lei walked in with a bottle of wine, put the wine on the seat and sat down again, "I found the best bottle of wine." Come on, come on, good food with good wine! ”
The food on the table gradually turned into an empty plate, Zhong Lei looked at Zhong Yu still sitting on the chair motionless, with a faint smile on his face, "Hey, there is no feast in the world, Ah Yu, go back and pack your luggage and go to bed early." Zhong Yu looked at the empty plates and bowls on the table, stood up without hurry, and had the same smile on his face as Zhong Lei, "Big brother is right, it's really time to disperse ......" Zhong Yu's smile gave birth to a bit of ghost, more and more vivid, more and more intense.
Zhong Lei looked at Zhong Yu's smile in puzzlement, he was a little surprised, because with Zhong Yu's personality and character, he would never have such a smile. However, before Zhong Lei could figure it out, suddenly, his face turned blue and he collapsed to the ground clutching his throat......
Seeing this, Ah Feng hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help Zhong Lei up, "Big young master! Gentleman! Big ......" Ah Feng kept calling Zhong Lei, but halfway through the words, his body was completely out of strength, and a sharp pain struck, just like Zhong Lei just now, and fell to the ground.
Zhong Yu's eyes did not have a trace of surprise, and he looked at Zhong Lei for a long time, "Big brother, you don't seem to have drunk the tea I gave you, you don't like the tea I brought you from Japan, and I can't think of any gift to give you, I will return the poison you gave to Ah Feng, I don't think there is a better gift than this." "You, you bastard...... Zhong Lei shook and threw himself at Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu flashed and pushed at Zhong Lei, Zhong Lei lay on the ground without any power to fight back. Zhong Yu leaned down and admired Zhong Lei's embarrassed appearance very happily, "Big brother still wants to trip me like he did when he was a child?" However, for someone like you who is about to die, it is better to save your energy. ”
"You! You don't have to die well! Zhong Lei glared at Zhong Yu and gritted his teeth, wanting him to swallow it alive. Don't be angry, the more you get angry, the faster you will get angry. This poison is originally your thing, and the eldest brother must know it. Zhong Yu's smile regained a little softness from before, and he stretched out his hand to help Zhong Lei's shoulder. Zhong Lei saw Zhong Yu stretch out his hand and grabbed his wrist suddenly, "You, do you really think of me as your brother......" Zhong Yu squatted down and stared at Zhong Lei intently, "It seems that there used to be, but I really don't remember when." Big brother probably doesn't care about this, because you never really thought of me as your brother. "You're wrong. You have taken every step so much, and in the end, there are times when you make mistakes. Zhong Lei panted and shook his head and smiled, "At least just now, I was sincere when you were your younger brother." Hahaha......"
Zhong Lei moved his gaze to Ah Feng, who was lying on the side with the same painful expression, and then moved his gaze back to Zhong Yu, "Originally, I thought that you would be the second Zhong Tiande. You, like Dad, value a woman like that more than anything else. Every time I see you looking at Ah Feng, it's like seeing my dad looking at Aunt An, you say, should I celebrate the opportunity to get rid of you, or should I feel sorry for myself? Because Dad looked at Aunt An like this, he never looked at his wife with his eyes, and he never looked at my mother with his eyes, and he didn't look at ......."
