Chapter Ninety-Seven: Retraction
It was rare to hear her kind invitation, Fu Ye was overjoyed, and replied with a face: "Since my cousin said so, then I will stay for a few more days before leaving."
Su Jinzhao was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect the gentle and elegant Fu Ye to have a refreshing side.
At this time, Fu Ye took out a hairpin from the cuff, which was decorated with a red plum, which was simple but exquisite, and very beautiful.
With just one glance, Su Jinzhao's gaze was reluctant to look away.
It turned out to be to give her a "gift".
Fu Ye handed the hairpin to Su Jinzhao and said, "This is this year's gift, do you like it?"
This is for her.
If this had been placed in the past, she would have accepted it without hesitation, but now she hesitates.
It's not that she doesn't like it, on the contrary, she likes it tightly, and she is not even willing to take her eyes off the hairpin. It's just that she can't take it. Fu Ye's mind to her, she didn't know before, but now that she knows it in her heart, she naturally can't pretend to be confused anymore.
So, she didn't think about it and excused herself: "No, I can't take this thing, my cousin should take it back."
She gently pushed the hairpin he stretched out and persuaded him to take it back.
Hearing this, the corners of Fu Ye's mouth stiffened, and the smile that was originally on his face gradually disappeared, and the next second he changed to a puzzled expression, and asked: "You didn't refuse to give you something before, but this time, why didn't you accept it?" Or do you not like this hairpin, if it is the latter, I will change it to another style when I go back. ”
The hairpin in his hand was stretched halfway, and the other party refused to accept the cup, and at this moment, Fu Ye was slightly embarrassed.
Su Jinzhao's refusal made him a little disappointed, as if he had planted a heel.
She knows very well that if she accepts it today, it is to give hope to others, and she can't be regarded as ignorant knowing the other party's intentions for her.
Su Jinzhao found a reason to explain: "The things sent by my cousin before are almost in a box, and I have a lot of jewelry, such a delicate hairpin, my cousin might as well keep it for someone who is destined to give it to someone who is destined to do so."
The person who is destined, he thinks that the woman who is destined for him in this life is obviously in front of him, but the other party doesn't know.
A trace of disappointment and sadness crossed Fu Ye's heart.
Su Jinzhao's abnormality today surprised Fu Ye a little, but he never made it difficult for others, seeing that she was determined not to want this hairpin, he naturally would not force it into the other party.
He slowly took back the hairpin, and said with a reluctant smile: "I don't mean anything else, I went to the jade shop a few days ago and accidentally found this hairpin, and I thought my cousin would like it, so I bought it, since my cousin doesn't want it, then I will take it back."
Su Jinzhao understood that Fu Ye's heart should be uncomfortable if she refused like this, but what could she do. If she received Fu Ye's things today, she would be even more indistinguishable in the future.
As she grows older, coupled with the memory of her previous life, she is no longer the ignorant child at the beginning, others give her something, she just needs to say thank you, and then don't ask the reason, don't ask the purpose, and then accept it with peace of mind, of course, this care is just the meaning of the brother's love for the sister, now that she thinks about it, she thinks it is simpler.
Fu Ye carefully put the hairpin back into his sleeve and lowered his head to drink tea.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, probably he himself noticed it, so he put down the cup and changed the topic: "By the way, I don't know how the red plum I sent before is doing now?"
Being able to say a few more words to his cousin, Fu Ye was very happy in his heart.
Over the years, he has not seen her much, but he has never erased her from his heart. For Su Jinzhao, he himself couldn't tell how she got into his heart.
Most of the time I came to Kyoto to meet her.
Speaking of red plums, Su Jinzhao's eyes were gentle for a while and said: "When my cousin sent plum seedlings, Jinzhao has not thanked me in person, I planted those plum seedlings in the back mountain, which was originally a wasteland, and after a few years, it has now become a plum forest, and this year's red plums are blooming better than in previous years."
Hearing this, looking at the smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, Fu Ye smiled: "Really? Hearing you say this, my cousin must usually take good care of those red plums, so I really want to go to the back mountain to see. ”
Hongmei was a gift from him, if he really wanted to go and see it, how could she not agree.
"Find a day, I'll take you to see it."
Fu Ye replied with a smile.
The two talked in the house for a while, and seeing that it was not too early, Fu Ye got up and left: "I have been bothering my cousin for a long time today, it's time to go back."
Su Jinzhao also got up and sent him out.
As soon as he walked to the door, Su Chengye came over.
"My brother is here to find my cousin?" Su Jinzhao asked with a smile.
Su Chengye glanced at her and said embarrassedly: "I saw that my cousin had been gone for a long time and hadn't come back, so I came over to take a look."
As soon as the words fell, Su Jinzhao had an idea, and immediately quipped: "My brother really hasn't seen my cousin for a day, and after leaving for a while, you came to the eldest sister to look for someone, but you came just in time, and your cousin happened to be ready to go back, so you can be together."
Su Chengye is still young, in the end, he has a few more years of books, and in the end, he also understands the meaning of the phrase "not seeing each other for a day is like every other autumn", and said with a red face: "Eldest sister, you have made a mistake."
Su Jinzhao just made a naughty joke, but who knew that her stupid brother took it seriously.
His eyes hurriedly glanced at Fu Ye, and the other party's expression was a little unnatural. After hesitating for a moment, and was about to open his mouth, Su Chengye interrupted: "Cousin, I have asked people to prepare dinner, and I am afraid that the food will be cold when I go back."
On weekdays, he is a subordinate who serves his daily life, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to care about others at a young age, but it is very different.
The corners of Su Jinzhao's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled, and said: "It's still my brother's thoughtfulness, I just cared about talking to my cousin, but I forgot to ask someone to prepare dinner, since my brother's dinner is ready, I won't keep you."
Where did she forget, if she told the other party that she deliberately did not ask others to prepare, I don't know how Fu Ye would feel when she heard it. Regardless, she told herself she had to keep her distance from him. Since she doesn't have that meaning in her heart, why should she give others more hope, in this way, it will inevitably be a worry in the future.
Before leaving, Fu Ye didn't forget to tell her: "You are too, don't forget to eat."
Su Jinzhao nodded.
After seeing the two leave, Su Jinzhao entered the house.
Looking at Fu Ye's used teacup on the table, he sighed secretly.
He, just like in his previous life, is just so deep that he can't stand it. How can a disheartened person give hope and warmth to others.
She secretly made up her mind that since she had failed him in her previous life, she should make up for this regret in this life. Even if you can't call him heart. As he wishes, he also hopes that her efforts can minimize regrets.
