Chapter 43: The Shen Brothers and Sisters
Su Ruo saw this poem at a glance, and read it softly, which was also catchy. This poem belongs to the kind that she can understand, and can understand the author's feelings.
The smoke outside the curtain and the full moon are in the court, and it is like sitting idle at this time.
Su Ruo smiled, her amber eyes were shining, and her artistic conception was good. Gu Yue couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that she was really interested in continuing to read it, this Xu Qishao really had a set, and she didn't expect Su Ruo to read it into the poetry collection.
"Hey Yue'er, how did you come up with the idea of bringing this to me?" Su Ruo picked up an apple from the table and asked.
Gu Yue packed up all her things, opened the window for her to breathe, and replied casually: "This is what Qishao asked me to give you." ”
Su Ruo had just taken a bite of the apple, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and subconsciously frowned, and the smile of Xu Zhengting in the dream appeared in his mind, stabilized his mind, and asked quietly, "Why did you bring it?" ”
Gu Yue glanced at her face and saw that there was no change, so she thought for a while and said, "Qishao's adjutant found me and said that Qishao was too busy to send it to you personally, so let me bring it over." ”
Su Ruo clutched the book of poems in his hand, looked at her, and a lot of thoughts suddenly surged in his heart, why did he find Gu Yue as an intermediary? Why would Gu Yue send things for him? Her heart was beating very fast suddenly, and she felt incredible, could it be that Gu Yue fell to Xu Zhengting?
"You're kind."
Gu Yue heard that something was wrong from her tone, her tone was a little cold and impatient, so she hurriedly explained: "Everyone knows my relationship with you, so it makes sense to ask me to send it." ”
Su Ruo took a deep breath, she also had some truth in saying this, don't speculate, she has a headache, Xu Zhengting is too good at being a demon, no matter how you prevent it, you can't prevent it.
"Forget it, leave him alone." Su Ruo rubbed her eyebrows, shook her head indifferently, then paused, looked at her with hopeful eyes, and asked cautiously, "Over there, is there any news?" ”
Gu Yue didn't speak for a long time when she heard this, sat down beside her bed with her head down, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I quarreled with him." He Fang looked cold every day, he would accompany her before, but now he always told her that he was very busy, and said that she should not go to him first!
Su Ruo was dumbfounded after listening to her explain the reason, and Haosheng enlightened her and became a life coach. He Fang is busy means that Xu Zhengyan is also busy, so he doesn't have time to come to see her, right?
Gu Yue looked at her stunned appearance, and hesitation suddenly flashed in her heart, maybe it was really Si Shao who was more suitable for her, right? However, she is such a sensitive and fragile person, in this situation, can Si Shao really protect her?
A day later.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Shen Qiu sat in the car and looked at Su Ruo beside him with some confusion and surprise. Two days ago, even if I stayed in the hospital, I didn't want to go back, but today I suddenly changed my character.
The corners of Su Ruo's mouth could be seen to hook up a faint arc, and he smiled calmly: "It's nothing, I just miss you and my uncle." ”
The reason is naturally simple, when she was lying on the bed yesterday and closed her eyes to recuperate, Xu Zhengting walked in, she could feel the hot eyes he looked at her, and the low doting smile, which simply made her feel like pins and needles.
She is not awake, nor is she awake. There was nothing she could do about him, she should have opened her eyes and asked him why he had sent her to the hospital. What happened that night? But as long as she remembered his bright appearance in the dream, she couldn't open her eyes.
His feelings were too intense for her to reciprocate him, and although she had spoken plainly, he seemed to be patient. She felt like a hunter, and she was his prey, bound to win.
"Father has been talking to you, why don't you come back to live." Shen Qiu glanced at her, doubtful of it, and then sighed lightly, "He actually cares about you very much." ”
Su Ruo just nodded lightly, answered casually "um", and there was no more follow-up. When he was still her uncle when he was a child, she really liked him, he doted on her more than his mother, and even more than Shen Qiu.
When she found out that he was her biological father, and the good relationship between her parents that she had always believed did not exist, even him, it caused her mother to be depressed and finally leave her. He cared about her, she knew it, but she didn't know how to face him, on the one hand, because of her mother, and on the other hand, because he had always misunderstood what she and Shen Qiu had.
It was past the autumn equinox, and the weather was a little cooler, Su Ruo wrapped the light brown windbreaker on her body, looked at the plaque hanging in front of her, and didn't know what it was like, this should be her fourth or fifth time here, and the rest of the time she stayed in her small suite.
"When you go home, what are you doing at the door?" Shen Qiu looked at her appearance, couldn't help but smile, and teased.
Family?
Su Ruo was stunned when she heard this, and immediately smiled, in the past, she made her home in Wushui, and the British manor she had lived in for more than ten years her home, and in Lindong, she called that small suite home, is this count?
When the two came back, Shen Lansheng was not there, but went out to talk about important matters, and the return date was uncertain. Su Ruo went straight to her room on the second floor, Shen Qiu put down her luggage with her, and then sat directly on the sofa in the room.
Su Ruo glanced at him and began to visit the room, the furnishings in the room were basically the same as the ones she lived in when she lived in the UK, she should be afraid that she would not be used to living in it, so she arranged it deliberately.
"Ruoruo, I have something to ask you." Shen Qiu watched her walk around, and he didn't know where to start what he wanted to say, and he frowned slightly.
Su Ruo knew what he wanted to ask, but she didn't want to talk about it, these things made her feel guilty, so she shook her head and said, "Cousin, I'm a little tired now and want to rest." ”
Shen Qiu has always wanted to ask her about Xu Zhengyan, and since the engagement banquet, he began to suspect that she and Xu Zhengyan had something, but he didn't find a chance to ask her, and even if he did, he was generally fooled by her for various reasons like this time.
"You and Si Shao..."
"Cousin!" Su Ruo's back was cold when he heard this, and he didn't wait for Shen Qiu to finish asking, so he interrupted him sharply, "I'm going to rest, please go out." ”
Shen Qiu didn't get up and leave as she wished, but just sat on the sofa, frowning, and looked at her with an unusually serious expression, this kind of look Su Ruo had almost never seen on his face, she bit her lower lip, and her face was a little pale.
"I don't want to force you." Seeing her like this, Shen Qiu couldn't bear it, and sighed lightly and said, "I, I just don't want you to get hurt." ”
Xu Zhengyan is now in a whirlpool, Fang Dingshan's escape is equivalent to breaking one of his arms, and his wife is still Fang Dingshan's daughter, although the verdict of the military court has not yet come down, but it will definitely be difficult to escape the death penalty.
Moreover, according to his father's temperament, coupled with the incident of Zeng Yue, the Shen family will definitely not be on his side, these things are too complicated, he and his father are unwilling to let her get involved, they just want her to live well and the way she wants.
Su Ruo shook her head stubbornly, raised her chin slightly, her bright little face was full of firmness, she didn't speak, she believed in him, she believed that he could protect herself, even if she couldn't help herself.
Shen Qiu stood up at this time, a helpless smile appeared on his warm face, walked up to her, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and said, "This temperament has always been the same, and I don't know who is used to it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed, who else could be used to it, except that he and his father could get used to her like this, who else could let her do this?
Su Ruo's nose was sour when she heard this, and she suddenly had an urge to cry, and before she could speak, she heard him continue: "No matter what happens, my brother will always be here." ”
A brother made Su Ruo lose her armor in an instant, a tear fell from her eyes, and then she fell more and more, and then took a step forward and hugged him, burying her head in his arms, and the scenes from her childhood emerged like a movie.
yes, this is my brother.
The brother who always gives her delicious food, the brother who likes to take her to visit various places, the brother who always covers the wrong things for her, and the brother who protects her even if he is punished.
"Brother."
Su Ruo called out in a muffled voice, but still didn't stop her tears, as if she wanted to vent all the discomfort in her heart, those things were pressed on her heart, and she was really out of breath.
Shen Qiu patted her on the back, smiled dotingly, and said with distress in his tone, "Silly girl, brother is here." "I don't know how much she has suffered during this time, I really don't know how she came over in the more than a month on the front line, she is obviously cowardly, but she still pretends to be righteous and awe-inspiring and says that the husband is responsible.
After Shen Qiu calmed Su Ruo, let her rest by herself, the doctor said that her body was still a little weak and needed to recuperate. He closed the door and walked out, and saw Shen Lansheng standing outside the door with his back to him.
"Dad? When did you get back? ”
Shen Lansheng turned sideways slightly, glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "Go to the study with me." ”
After speaking, he raised his legs and walked forward, Shen Qiu followed him with some doubts, and there was already a little understanding in his heart, and where he didn't see it, the green tendons on Shen Lansheng's forehead had already flared up, and his face was gloomy.
They walked into the study one after another, Shen Lansheng stood in front of the photo of the four of them, everyone was smiling happily in the photo, this is still in the UK, they specially arranged, Chinese style background.
After a long time, Shen Lansheng spoke: "If it were your cousin, I thought you understood." ”
"I know." Shen Qiu was also looking at the family photo, but his heart was different from what Shen Lansheng thought, the mother who loved him had gone, and now the remaining father and Su Ruo, he wanted to use his own strength to protect them.
"I know you're still..." Shen Lan turned around violently, looked at him with a slightly sharp gaze, and stopped talking.
"Dad, I'm her brother."
