Chapter 21: Remembering the Friendship of the Past
The next day, Lu Zhixue originally decided to go to a hot pot with Wen Qiyao after being discharged from the hospital, and ate a bowl of pig's foot noodles to get rid of mildew, but unexpectedly, Wen Qiyao was temporarily called to work overtime, and the person who came to pick her up became Ouyang Rui.
Luxurious cars drive on flat roads.
Lu Zhixue looked at the flashing scenery outside the window, Ouyang Rui had been working on the computer since he got in the car, his expression was indifferent, and he looked like no one was close.
Lu Zhixue's gaze fell on the two fingers that were flying like keystrokes on the computer, slender and powerful, and even the position of the bone knot was extremely good-looking.
When she was young, she liked this palm of the hand the most, gently placed on the top of her head, patting her little head with pity, however, time passed, I don't know when, this hand changed places, like to choke her neck, the force is not heavy, but it makes her breathless, life is worse than death.
She put her eyes out of the window again, but her head couldn't be quiet for a moment, Lu Zhixue was thinking about the strange dream last night, she asked him to get out of it very domineeringly, and then he really rolled out.
It would be great if such a thing could come true.
"What are you looking at?"
As soon as Ouyang Rui finished processing the documents, he looked up and saw the smile on her lips, like the sunshine outside the window, quiet and beautiful.
"Birds." She replied, her voice calm.
"What's so nice about the birds?" He chuckled, and there was a hint of brightness in his smile.
"Well, but the way you fly freely in the sky is beautiful." There was envy in her voice that couldn't be hidden, and she obviously felt the change in the aura around her.
Suddenly, there was no sound, and the interior of the car was enveloped by a kind of low air pressure.
The driver turned on the music, a beautiful piano tune, as if trying to ease the tension.
Lu Zhixue's eyes have been on the window, calm on the surface, but extremely panicked inside, she is afraid that Ouyang Rui will do something unconscionable next, just like before, but this time is different, after waiting for a long time, I can't wait for his scolding, but I waited for him to lean his head on her shoulder.
The weight that was neither light nor heavy pressed on her shoulders made Lu Zhixue have an illusion that her world seemed to be crushed and destroyed in an instant.
Her whole body was tense, and her nerves were too, as if she had stepped into the door of darkness in an instant, and she wanted to grab something for help, but in despair she found that there was nothing around her, only endless desolation and darkness with her.
"When you were a kid, you liked to lean on my shoulder like this."
His voice was very soft, and there was a touch of gentleness that made Lu Zhixue unbelievable, she was not sure, she only knew that the panic in her heart spread again, like a black hole that expanded unlimitedly, sucking her mutilated soul bit by bit.
She froze, not daring to move.
"Cher, why don't you like it when you grow up?" There was a hint of complaint in his voice.
Lu Zhixue wanted to laugh, didn't he know that those beautiful pasts were strangled and crushed by his own hands? Now, speaking in such a reproachful tone, what do you want to make trouble?
"If you think about it, when we were young, we were really good." It seemed that he really remembered some good memories, Ouyang Rui's thin lips let out a laugh, no ridicule or disdain.
Lu Zhixue was a little abrupt, ten years later, she thought that she would never hear such a nice laugh from him again in her life, although it was very short, but it spanned the warmest spring and autumn in her life.
"Ouyang Rui." She hadn't spoken for a long time, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Huh?" He half-squinted, and replied in a voice as lazy as a cat.
Lu Zhixue tried not to be afraid, not to tremble, and tried to keep her voice calm, and then added a little smile to the calm that took half a lifetime to protrude:
"If you are thinking of the beautiful friendship of the past, can you please raise your noble hand and let me live for the rest of my life?"
As the words fell, the temperature in the carriage dropped to freezing again.
"Xue'er, don't provoke me again, otherwise, you can't imagine how miserable the end will be."
The voice on the side suddenly lost its gentleness and human taste.
Lu Zhixue's face instantly lost its color, she knew, how could she not know, and then, she pulled the corners of her mouth, and her voice was sad, "Got it." ”
The words fell, and in the next second, her body was pulled by a strong force, a strong hand lifted her chin, forcing her to meet the unfathomable gaze, he sneered on his lips, and the hot breath sprayed on her face, as if it could burn her fragile nerves.
"In this life, don't even think about running away."
Lu Zhixue's heart was like ashes, and then she smiled bitterly, "Ouyang Rui, why do you bother? You want me to die, I'm going to die, right? ”
Ouyang Rui stared at her deadly, this woman would rather die than escape from him! Suddenly, he remembered that last night she said in her dream that she didn't want to fall in love with him anymore and hate him, for no reason, he was full of irritability in his heart!
"Lu Zhixue, don't be embarrassed!"
Shameless for face? Lu Zhixue sneered, "What did you give me face?" ”
Ouyang Rui was speechless when she asked this, and the indifference and ridicule in her eyes were completely undisguised, which made Ouyang Rui even more irritable, "You are not worthy!" ”
In a hurry, he picked up a broken heart and threw it down.
Yes, she is not worthy, there is such an "unforgettable blood feud" between them, and he is already benevolent and righteous if he doesn't kill her directly.
But what Lu Zhixue wants more is that Ouyang Rui will destroy her neatly, she will thank his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, really!
"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, I guarantee that everyone you care about will live well." He wrapped her in his arms, his voice smiling cruelly and reassuringly.
Lu Zhixue's body shook violently, Ouyang Rui wanted to remind her once again that everyone she cared about, their lives were tied to her, and if she dared to die, he would dare to let those innocent people be buried with her.
Closing her eyes tiredly, this was the last time she tried to communicate with him, but the result did not change anything.
After opening for a long time, I stopped at a Chinese restaurant with a majestic decoration.
Lu Zhixue looked at the few big characters on the plaque -
Warm the pot.
Lu Zhixue silently recited these words, a little distracted, what did Ouyang Rui bring her here for?
Although she was puzzled in her heart, she also knew that she couldn't get any answer when she asked, so Lu Zhixue simply shut up, followed Ouyang Rui out of the car like a walking corpse, and entered the restaurant.
It can be seen that Ouyang Rui is a frequent visitor here, as soon as he enters, the waiter directly leads him to a VIP box, Lu Zhixue looks around, although he tries his best to suppress his emotions in his heart, but when he walks into this box, the eyes that have been like stagnant water without any waves finally have ripples.
Her face was dark, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Ouyang Rui seemed to notice her trembling and seemed to be completely unaware, pulled a seat for her, and pressed her to sit down, his handsome face as a god had been hooked with a slight arc, which seemed gentle, but in fact it was extremely sinister.
"Why did you bring me here?" She tried her best to keep her composure, but the voice that came out revealed her uneasy and frightened heart.
Ouyang Rui chuckled, and there seemed to be a leisurely joy in his laughter, "Wen Qiyao said that you want to eat hot pot and want to eat pork knuckle noodles, just right, this shop is a signboard." ”
She knew, but ...... Why you should choose here!
Ouyang Rui looked at her as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and his smile was even more pleasant, "In the past, when the old man was still there, he liked to take us here to eat hot pot and pork knuckle noodles, have you forgotten?" ”
His voice was soft and soft, but Lu Zhixue knew that he was hiding a knife in his smile to remind her of the heinous crime committed by the Lu family against the Ouyang family! He was going to use the heavy blood debt to break her little by little.
Lu Zhixue's face was bloodless, and her whole person was pale and terrifying, and she tried her best to hold out the arc of a smile, "Remember." ”
Two words, almost exhausted her life's strength.
The Ouyang family and the Lu family are in the yard, the relationship is the best, the grandfather of the two families is a brother from the battlefield, Grandpa Lu regards Ouyang Rui as his grandson, and Grandpa Ouyang treats her as his granddaughter, every time she fails the exam, or is in a bad mood, Grandpa Ouyang takes her and Ouyang Rui to eat here, she loves to eat pig's feet noodles, a bowl is actually full, but she just likes to grab Ouyang Rui's bowl to eat, that feeling seems to be one step closer to him.
Every time Ouyang Rui was unhappy, Grandpa Ouyang reprimanded him for not having a manly demeanor, making her his own granddaughter, Ouyang Rui is not the same.
Then, in order to soothe Ouyang Rui's anger, Lu Zhixue desperately put the meat in the hot pot into his bowl, and every time he ate the meat with a disgusted face.
"If I remember correctly, you enjoyed eating pork knuckle noodles here." He smiled, his voice soft and soft, as if he was really telling her about the memories of falling dust, "Every time I finish eating, I like to grab my bowl." ”
Lu Zhixue nodded stiffly, she never liked to eat things that others had touched, but it was different from him, at that time, she always naively thought that eating a bowl of pork knuckle noodles with him would bring the relationship between the two one step closer.
And, she always sees that her mother can't finish eating, and her father will eat the rest of her mother's food, she doesn't know how to ask, her father always touches her little head, with a loving face, and gently tells her that because her mother is his wife, she doesn't dislike it.
But Ouyang Rui has a habit of cleanliness, and it is impossible to eat her leftovers, so she changed her mind, and she eats his leftovers, and it is the same.
Because he will be her husband, so, do not dislike.
"At that time, I thought you were very good at eating." He smiled, adding a hint to his smile that she didn't understand, "I know you're going to rob me, so I'll eat very slowly every time and leave more for you." ”
Lu Zhixue raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of shock, she opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, when the waiter came in with two bowls of pig's foot noodles, and the air was filled with the fragrance of food.
Lu Zhixue looked at the two bowls of fragrant pork knuckle noodles on the table, for a while, she had mixed feelings, only to feel a sour meaning rolling in her chest, she wanted to cry out loud uncomfortably, but she still forced the surging tears back.
