Chapter 43: Lovers Say Goodbye and Part
The dagger in Xue Qi's hand slipped to the ground, he couldn't accept it for a while, lying on the ground, the person he almost killed turned out to be his father?
Fang You took advantage of the gap in Xue Qi's distraction, hurriedly ran forward and picked up the dagger on the ground and threw it aside, and then quickly untied Zi Xiangzhi. Zi Xiangzhi got up and thanked her, and then asked in surprise and joy, "Girl, what did you just say...... But really? After glancing at Xue Qi, he continued: "This child is really me and Wan'er?" β
Fang You looked into his eyes and nodded, "It was Aunt Xue who said it to me before leaving." β
When Zi Xiangzhi heard this, his hands trembled slightly, he didn't dare to step forward, but turned to look at Xue Qi, his eyebrows and eyes were like Wan'er, and his mouth and nose were like himself, "Child, what's your name?" β
Xue Qi also looked at Zi Xiangzhi, but his eyes were full of vigilance and a little hatred that had not yet dissipated. After a long time, Fang Yu just wanted to answer for Xue Qi, but Xue Qi took the initiative to speak, "Xue Qi." β
Xue Qi...... Xue Qi ......" Zi Xiangzhi's mouth said Xue Qi's name one by one, it seems that Wan'er has never forgiven him, otherwise why would he not bring the child to find him if he had such a difficult time. Suddenly, he hugged Xue Qi, and his voice was a little choked: "It's all my fault...... It's me who didn't protect you and your mother......"
To Fang You's surprise, Xue Qi didn't push Zixiangzhi away, but stood there in a daze, Ren Zixiangzhi hugged him and sobbed. Fang You thought that maybe it was the death of his mother that made Ah Qi, a poor child, lose his mother's love and protection, and now Zi Xiangzhi seemed to make him feel the warmth he had not felt for a long time. Warm tears gradually slipped down the corners of Xue Qi's eyes.
"Ayou......" Fang You was watching the reunion of the father and son, not knowing what he was thinking, when suddenly a familiar voice came into his ears behind him. She turned around, and sure enough, Wei Qinghuan was standing there in a red dress.
Wei Qinghuan's body was supposed to be a happy color, but after being covered in a layer of moonlight, he looked a little lonely, and he spoke again: "Ah You......"
Fang You suddenly remembered the dream she had a few times ago, Wei Qinghuan also called herself like this, she couldn't control herself and walked towards him, as if she had been spelled, "Wei Qinghuan...... What are you here to do? β
"Ayu, I miss you." Wei Qinghuan gently hugged her into his arms, "I miss you so much, I have never thought of you like now." β
Fang You was stunned at first, and when she heard Wei Qinghuan's words, she couldn't help but put her face on his chest, she also hugged him, just this time, let her be greedy for this last time, "I miss you too." β
Wei Qinghuan hugged her tighter, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.
Suddenly, a faint human voice came from a distance, Fang You woke up as if someone had solved a spell, she pushed Wei Qinghuan away, looked at him, and said, "Wei Qinghuan, we can't ...... like this" Before she finished speaking, she felt something warm and soft covering her lips. She stared at Wei Qinghuan's face with wide eyes, her heart was like a candle flame beating at night, the bones in her body were numb, and her head seemed to be snowing, and it was white.
As the voices got closer, she pushed Wei Qinghuan away and slapped him in the face in a panic and shame. She watched him staring at her, her right hand still in the air, and she was completely more panicked now, but more regretted why she had hit him. She reached out to him, trying to touch his cheek, which she had slapped him, and asked him if it hurt.
Wei Qinghuan looked at her self-blame, frowned slightly, grabbed her hand, pulled her to him, the two got closer, and said, "Ayou, I know you still like me." β
Fang You held back tears, his face was painful, and said, "Wei Qinghuan, don't be naΓ―ve anymore, what if I still like you?" We're all carrying too much on our backs, and we're not destined to be together......"
"Is it because I lied to you before?" Wei Qinghuan asked, holding Fang You's hand without letting go at all, "Ah You, you let me leave you, at least you have to tell me why clearly?" Otherwise, don't want me to let go! β
"Listen......" Fang You whispered, the voice was like the cold moonlight tonight, "the person who is looking for you is here, the groom." β
Wei Qinghuan slowly let go of the hand he was holding Fang You, and his eyes were eclipsed as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant, "You know that this is not my intention......
"Let's go, you can't tell if you're seen." Fang Yu said with his words.
Wei Qingwan smiled bitterly: "Are you thinking about me, or for yourself?" β
Fang You didn't answer, she turned around, and just as Zi Xiangzhi and Xue Qi walked towards them.
Zi Xiangzhi glanced at Wei Qinghuan behind Fang You, and just as he was about to speak, Fang You spoke first: "Lord Shangshu, Lord Wei, he ...... It's for your safety, so I hurried here. β
Of course, Zi Xiangzhi knew the purpose of Wei Qinghuan's visit, but he didn't say anything, but pulled Fang You and whispered to her: "Miss Fang, he refuses to go back to the house with me, Xue Qi, this kid, please take care of him more these days." Incidentally...... Help me persuade him so that he can return to me, the old man, as soon as possible. If the girl agrees, I will come to the door in person another day and thank you generously! As he spoke, he was about to salute Fang You.
Fang You hurriedly helped him up and said, "Lord Shangshu, you have lifted me, even if you don't open your mouth in this matter, I will do it." Because it's also for Aqi. Now that Ah Qi is still alive, the murderer has not succeeded, he is still dangerous, and it is safer to stay in your mansion than to stay with me. β
Zi Xiangzhi listened to Fang You's words, and was already very grateful in his heart, and suddenly saw Wei Qinghuan, who was in red behind him, staring at Fang You, so he felt guilty and said, "Miss Fang...... In fact, the little girl is not the kind of person with a small belly, if you and Qingwan are in love, when the two of them get married, just come to me, and I will help you match......"
Fang You hurriedly interrupted his words and said, "Master Shangshu has misunderstood, I ...... with him" and glanced at Wei Qinghuan as he spoke, "There is no mutual affection. β
Zi Xiangzhi looked at her and stopped talking, but didn't say anything more after all.
"Let's go." Fang You dodged Wei Qinghuan's eyes and said to Xue Qi. Xue Qi nodded, and the two disappeared into the night.
Wei Qinghuan still stood there in a daze, looking at the direction Fang You had left, and did not speak. Zi Xiangzhi patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, some people are destined to be missed." Wei Qinghuan's eyes flickered.
In the distance was the shouting of the crowd that had come to them......
Shi Nian had already been waiting very anxiously at home, if she hadn't met the two of them at the door, she would have gone out to find them.
"Ayu, Ayu," Shi Nian said to the two, "you're back!" β
"How is everything at home?" Fang You asked.
"It's all good, it's all good," Shi Nian said, "it's just ...... Here came a little girl of thirteen or fourteen. β
"Little girl?" Hearing Shi Nian's description, Fang You probably guessed who it was.
"Say what's your name......" Shi Nian struggled to remember the name the little girl had told her.
"Isn't it Ji Hui!?" At this time, Xue Qi, who had not spoken behind him, suddenly spoke, his eyes were full of surprise, he grabbed Shi Nian's shoulder and shook it, and said, "Sister Shi Nian, where is she now?" β
"Oh," Shi Nian was a little dizzy by him, and said, "She said she came to look for you, and she didn't see you come back for a long time." I thought she was too tired to do anything, so I let her sleep in my room first......"
Shi Nian said slowly, and before the words fell, Xue Qi had already run to Shi Nian's room to see Ji Hui.
After Xue Qi left, Shi Nian looked at his back with a puzzled expression, and the other party said, "Who is this little girl?" What is the relationship with Ah Qi? Look at his excitement. β
Fang You smiled slightly: "They are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses." After speaking, as if he remembered something, he asked Shi Nian with a solemn face: "Is she coming alone?" Is there anyone else with her? β
"Someone else?" Shi Nian thought, and then shook his head, "No, after I opened the door, I saw her standing outside the door panting alone." β
Fang You nodded thoughtfully, and said to Shi Nian, "It's so late, you're tired too, right?" β
Shi Nian yawned and said, "When you say that, I'm really tired." β
"You go to my room and sleep first," Fang Yu said, "It's not good to wake her up again so late." β
Shi Nian knew that what Fang You said she was referring to was the little girl Ji Hui, so she couldn't help but yawn again, nodded her head, turned her head after just two steps, and asked Fang You, "Third sister, then where do you sleep?" β
Fang You lowered his eyes and said, "I sleep in my aunt's room." β
Shi Nian heard her say Xue's family, and couldn't help but feel sad again, didn't speak, walked up to Fang You, shook her hand, and went to rest.
Fang You came to the door of Shi Nian's room and saw Xue Qi standing by the bed looking at the sleeping Ji Hui, smiling, as if he was only concerned about the joy of Ji Hui's return, and didn't think about why she suddenly came back alone.
Fang You looked at this beautiful scene, she hadn't seen it so moving and warm for a long time, she didn't break the tranquility, but waited silently at the door, her eyes became moist.
After a long time, Xue Qi turned around and saw Fang Yu leaning against the door frame.
Fang You hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, beckoned to Xue Qi, and motioned for him to come out.
Xue Qi followed Fang You to the outside of the house, grabbed Fang You's arm excitedly, and tried to keep his voice low, for fear of disturbing Ji Hui, who was sleeping in the house, and said, "Sister Ayou, she's back!" Ah Hui is back! β
Fang You also smiled: "I know, I know." However, you better go to sleep first now, let Ah Hui also have a good rest, and don't wake her up. Tomorrow...... I guess there's a lot to deal with......"
Xue Qi scratched his head and said, "Tomorrow, what's the matter?" β
Fang You glanced inside the room. Xue Qi only then reacted, why did Ji Hui come back suddenly, so he looked at Ji Hui in the room worriedly, and muttered, "Ah Hui, what happened?" β
