Chapter 24: The Academy

Fu Mingyuan turned his head slowly, just in front of the person in front of him, the light in his eyes was a little dazzling, obviously the sky outside was already dark. But the coldness in Mingran's eyes at this moment is very similar to the ...... of the year Myself. He looked away for a moment, as if he was not at all surprised to see someone standing here again.

"Big brother, I'm tired, Xiao Nian has to help me prepare tea." Fu Mingran saw the situation inside when she passed by the door, and things were just as she had thought at first......

However, the person in front of him just looked away and fell back on her, with a moonlight-like coldness, and his lips pursed as if his mouth was open at that moment, but Fu Mingran, who was slightly tilted his head, didn't hear any sound, but his ears seemed to sound the words that Chu Feiyu said when he broke up with her on the street...... After this time, there will be no such opportunity next time.

No more, such words seemed to her to slowly remove something from her heart, perhaps...... Such opportunities are not uncommon for her.

"Then prepare a cup of tea for the eldest brother." Fu Mingyuan took a long step on his legs, walked straight past her standing still, and walked towards the place where the single shadow had fallen before. Fu Mingran's slightly pursed lips seemed to be muttering something in a low voice...... The person in front of him changed back to a neat back, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes that was not easy to see, and there would be no such opportunity next time.

Fu Mingran originally thought that she was at least taking every step with heaviness, but she stepped on the shadow of her eldest brother falling on the ground, and the appearance of her long hair draped behind her was that she had even learned a little bit from the ground, not to mention that on a pond and a bronze mirror, she walked very peacefully every step...... Tranquility like never before.

"Childe...... Little Boy. Xiao Nian was let go by the guards who exited the door, and stood quietly aside, and when Fu Mingran stepped into the door, the last three words were written with a voice about to cry, and it was difficult to hide his worry.

Fu Mingran shook his head at her with a faint smile on his face, although the eldest brother already knew her intentions, but she was now standing in front of him, and ...... She also sat down in the seat opposite her eldest brother all of a sudden, looking at the person who came by with a smile on her face.

Such a sudden bright smile made Fu Mingyuan's originally serious face look like fallen leaves blown away by the wind, and he was left without an owner for a while. He looked at the person in front of him with deep eyes, four years have changed a lot, and it seems that nothing has changed.

"Have you used the jade cream?" As if the still air was infused with fresh breath, Xiao Nian was really a little crying and laughing at the movements of the little son, so the hanging heart was half of the ground. Suddenly, someone behind her patted her, and Mu You's face appeared in front of her, and the look on her face was ...... She nodded, then stepped back.

Drinking tea is ...... for two people Maybe it's just an excuse for reconciliation.

The bruises on Fu Mingran's face have faded a lot, except for the slap marks that still remain, the red one is more and more obvious on the fair face, and after the person opposite glanced at it, his eyes seemed to be woven into a net, capturing something. Suddenly looked at her neck, the jade pendant...... I don't know when the boy seems reluctant to take it with him.

"In the closet, I used Mr. Bai's ...... Ointment. These three words were like a taboo, so that the atmosphere that had warmed up was covered by coolness again, Fu Mingran suddenly lowered his eyes and all fell on Fu Mingyuan's eyes, and he let out a long sigh in his heart.

It seems that something else has done something other than the right thing that dawn did four years ago...... In this child, he was pitifully wrong.

"Sir, he left a sentence when he left......" Fu Mingyuan looked at her and raised her head again, the young man's face had a unique loneliness and fragility, there seemed to be a place in his heart where the snow condensed and the ice melted a little, if you put aside many external factors, the connection between him and this child seems to be more than this fate.

"Mingran, this kid has reached the age when he should go to the academy to continue his studies." The cold tone brewed an unusual feeling in the room because of these words, and the tears in Fu Mingran's eyes were filled with a smile, as if the eyes that were clearer at the moment reflected a scene of meeting, and the smile was real.

Fu Mingyuan's slender fingers on the table were staggered, a little tighter for a while, but his expression was a little restrained and cold, he would one day be because of a child's smile...... And jealous of someone who has left.

On the white and slender fingers, what is really entangled is the worry of this life.

"Would you like to go to the academy?" Fu Mingyuan looked at her squarely, and on his calm face, it seemed that all the emotions that had just appeared had disappeared, but what did the unconsciously and silently knock on the table reveal...... He was waiting for the answer.

Fu Mingran's expression seemed to be looking at nothingness, the only memory was that the bowl of sweet porridge when she woke up gave her infinite warmth, and today after she had escaped from Fu's mansion but was sent back by a ghost, the person in front of her gave her another choice.

She nodded, and suddenly remembered the landscape painted in the fan that her husband left her, maybe the place that her husband really liked was such a fairyland, but it was not human.

The big stone in her heart finally fell, she knew that although her eldest brother didn't pay much attention to people, he had never deceived himself, if it was Mr. 's intention to go to the academy, she would listen to Mr. 's words, a teacher for one day, and a teacher for life.

When the last ray of light in the house gradually walked out, Fu Mingran saw the eldest brother in the dim light, who seemed to be much more friendly than Bai Ri, and the somewhat blurred face seemed to be the first scene she saw when she opened her eyes, and it was also a face that could not be seen, but it took her back to this world, away from the snowy world in the dream, and the motionless corpse lying on the ground. The back that was fading away was away from her, so what she could hug was what was in front of her.

The curvature of the corners of Fu Mingyuan's mouth was hidden under his own emotions with the help of the candlelight that had not yet been lit, and the dim light always had the ability to cause the past...... When he came back from Chu Mansion, it was almost dawn, except for Mu You who followed beside him, the quietness of such a street was rare. It's just that when passing through an ordinary inconspicuous street, he actually had the idea of projecting his gaze on, and he did the same, and then ...... I saw the blood that was already stained in the hands of the eight-year-old child.

Compared to the bloody situation exposed, it was the eyes that really attracted him to stay...... The despair soaked seemed to be about to overflow, but what really overflowed was the world as bright as stars on the black face, and that peace was something he could not find.

"Childe, the head of the family sent a letter." Mu You stood outside the door, handing the letter. The little boy's room was ordered by the child, and if you don't have permission, you can't step into half a step.

Entering the door was Xiao Nian, who came together, she was holding a lit candle in her hand, the faint light was enough to illuminate the whole room, and the brighter and brighter lights were reflected in Fu Mingran's eyes, she looked in the direction of Fu Mingyuan, and seemed to have just seen the smile on the eldest brother's face......

Fu Mingyuan shook his head unknowingly, his action of getting up was no longer as hesitant as when he sat down, Fu Mingran also got up and stood aside, at this time, Xiao Nian lit the candle in his hand on the two white candles on the table, and the room was really bright for a while.

Mu You retreated to the side, and the letter in his hand was handed over to the son, after Fu Mingyuan went out, he looked at the moonlight outside, and his expression softened a little, the content of the letter ...... Roughly one meaning. It's just that I didn't expect the head of the family to receive the news so quickly, what was the final result of the marriage with the Chen family...... Think about it.

Fu Mingran looked at the back of the person leaving, and gathered the thoughts that were gradually surging in her heart, she suddenly turned her head and smiled at Xiao Nian on the side, but the person in front of her suddenly knelt on the ground, and Fu Mingran's eyes gradually became ink.

"Little boy, slave maid...... The slave is at fault. Fu Mingran looked at half of her face in the candlelight, she still preferred something brighter, the furnishings in this room...... I've been getting tired of looking at it all these years.

"Xiao Nian, if you do this again, I will always have to get my mother's permission to help you marry a good family. However......" Fu Mingran helped up the person on the ground, and the reflection of the young man's figure on the wall had another image, and it seemed to be more mature, "I probably can't bear it." ”

"The slave is willing to follow the son all the time." Xiao Nian's expression was different from before, she had never seen this little girl so emotional, perhaps...... There are many aspects that she herself does not notice on weekdays.

Fu Mingran pulled people to sit down together, his expression had a gloomy meaning for some reason, and he suddenly remembered the package Chu Feiyu gave her, as well as her ...... Oops, forgot in the carriage. Her expression suddenly became nervous, and her jade pendant ......

"Childe, what's wrong?" Xiao Nian fiddled with the wick, and the originally dim light lit up again, and the eldest prince did not pursue it today, does it mean ...... The eldest prince is actually very concerned about the son.

Fu Mingran shook his head and signaled that it was okay. If Chu Feiyu hadn't sent the things in the past few days, she would have to get them back before the eldest brother spoke, just now the eldest brother's eyes had already looked at her neck, the importance of this jade pendant...... She knows that, too.

"Where's Si'er?" After a turn of thought, Fu Mingran noticed the worry flashing on Xiao Nian's face, and he had indeed not seen anyone for a few days. Last time, the two of them were punished for her, and she also asked Xiao Nian to send the ointment given by her husband, didn't it work? Or is it ...... The second lady was reluctant to let go.

"Childe, my sister's injury hasn't healed yet, I'm afraid I'll have to take care of it for a few more days." When Xiao Nian spoke, her eyes did not look at her son-in-law, Fu Mingran saw this, her heart sank, she probably understood.

Si'er's injuries may be worse than hers......
