The Fire of Destiny Chapter 3 The Past of the Small Courtyard
Early in the morning, inside the cherry blossom courtyard. The early spring sunlight shines through the screen window, gently caressing the sleeping girl.
Bai Xue Sakura felt something licking her hand, sticky and slippery. Immediately woke up from his dream, got up and saw a black and white border collie squatting next to the bed. Two bright eyes were staring at the owner who had just woken up from Chunmeng, and very cleverly brought over a pair of clean slippers.
Bai Xue Sakura stroked her long scattered hair, looked at the slippers full of saliva, and smiled sweetly: "Snowball, so good!" When the shepherd heard his master praise him, he hurriedly raised his front paws to ask for a hug. Bai Xue Sakura doted on it in her arms and stroked its shiny long hair.
"Snowball, come out!" With a low, magnetic command, the sheepdog in his arms sprang out of the room like a great enemy, and lay obediently in the doorway with a puff of smoke. Then a reproachful voice came: "Why did you allow Snowball into your room again." A tall and slender figure appeared at the door, and he leaned against the door, looking at the white snow cherry blossoms who had just gotten up. The early sun outside shone on his tall body, and his whole body emitted a faint halo.
"Where's Master?" Bai Xueying had already gotten out of bed, seeing that she was still wearing the clothes she had returned from Shanghai, and was going to take a shower.
"Big detective, go out on errands, and come back in a few days." Lin Xiu replied lightly.
"Oh." Shirayuki squeezed her eyes cutely at the snowball at the door, and the sheepdog at the door responded with its tail. The ears were still standing vigilantly.
Lin Xiu was a little distracted when he saw her innocent and lovely appearance.
"Did you see your Daystar again in Shanghai?" Lin Xiu used a funny tone, revealing a good-looking little tiger tooth.
"Daystar?!" Bai Xue Ying woke up like a dream and quickly touched her underwear pocket. found that the things that Qi Chengxuan handed over to him were still there. Turning to Lin Xiu outside the door, he said, "By the way, yesterday's incident..."
"You wash up first, I cooked your favorite porridge, and in the morning Lao Bai's father called, and I told him that you were back." Lin Xiu interrupted her and walked straight to the semi-open kitchen outside. It's a small courtyard surrounded by a fence of cherry blossoms, and vigorous creepers climb all over the old-fashioned two-story building. The exterior walls of the small building are painted with various patterns of various colors. It looks very funny, and at first glance it is the masterpiece of young people.
A tall and vibrant cherry blossom tree is blooming in the sun, and the early spring breeze blows, and the pale pink petals are flying down like elves. It's beautiful, so light. Snowball happily chased the petals back and forth in the sky, looking at the pink all over the ground, it seemed that it had been playing for a long time.
In the bathroom, the smoky heat envelops a petite and delicate body, her skin like snow, moisturized by the water's temperature, revealing a faint red pink.
Bai Xue Sakura gently played with the water from the shower flowers, thinking back to what happened last night. Qi Chengxuan was tracked by his family last night, and he didn't know what was going on inside their kind of rich kids. Think about Qi Chengxuan's chaotic behavior yesterday. It seems that he is not a big grin in the daily live broadcast room, and his words are not shocking and endless. Thinking of his evil smile, Bai Xueying felt even tighter in her chest. Quickly turned off the hot water. I got dressed and walked out of the room.
In the small courtyard, Lin Xiu's tall figure was still busy in the kitchen, and Bai Xueying walked up to him and asked curiously, what are you eating today. Lin Xiu raised his head and saw that her soft black hair was still wet. frowned and shouted: "Why didn't your hair dry out, I just got a little fever" After speaking, he put down the plate in his hand, and quickly walked to the room to take out a towel and a hair dryer. Bai Xueying lowered her head very obediently, and Lin Xiu was very skillful in helping the petite girl in front of her blow her hair, while chattering in a gentle voice.
A breeze blows, and the petals fall lightly on the girl's neck, and the snow-white skin is as delicate as white porcelain. The young man above couldn't help but see God, and reached out to touch her white skin.
The hair was quickly dried, and the black hair fell vertically like a waterfall, and finally a faint red appeared on the sickly face.
Lin Xiu felt his heart fluttering, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his figure appeared more slender and tall in the sun, guarding the elf-like girl in front of him like a god.
When Bai Xue Ying saw the tall Lin Xiu in front of her, Qi Chengxuan's evil face couldn't help but appear in her mind. Compared with his height, Lin Xiu is even taller and straighter, making himself extremely dependent on him since he was a child. That's what family feels like.
"Alright, you pack up your things, and I'll bring you breakfast."
"Hmm!" Like a happy child, Bai Xue Sakura shuttled back and forth to pack her things.
The two sat down around a stone table under the cherry blossom tree, and a bowl of steaming cherry blossom porridge and a few side dishes were served.
"Senior brother, why do you drink cherry blossom porridge again?" Bai Xue Sakura pouted and said coquettishly like a little girl.
"You're very weak now, eat these first, and when you're well, I'll make you something to eat!" Lin Xiu smiled and pushed the porridge in front of her.
Bai Xue Sakura naughtily poked the dimples on his cheeks, lowered her head and ate quickly.
The two of them spent half a day and sat down on a sunny bench in the small courtyard again. Lin Xiu brought a cup of hot water and a few pills.
"Senior brother, is there any news of Qingge?" Bai Xue Ying still spit out the worries in her heart. Slowly squeeze the glass into your palm.
Lin Xiu instead looked at her with a cold and abnormal gaze, and Bai Xue Ying felt goosebumps all over her body. At this time, Lin Xiu slowly got up and walked under the cherry blossom tree, staring at a branch of cherry blossoms swaying in the breeze.
"How many times have I said it, it's been two years since the Gang of 4 was disbanded, I don't ask you to call me a teacher, please remove my junior brother for me! Come on. Although Lin Xiu's expression was very angry, his tone revealed grievances and helplessness.
I came to the cherry blossom courtyard earlier than this little girl, but I was ranked last by three girls who were many years younger than me.
"Teacher?! Hahaha, you didn't give me the wrong medicine! Bai Xueying felt like she had heard the funniest joke in the world, and she squirted out a sip of water just after laughing.
"Not only am I a few years older than you, but I'm also an Interpol. She is also currently working as a physical education teacher at your school. Lin Xiu pretended to look at her calmly.
"Master, his old man, won't agree." Bai Xue Sakura staggered his gaze and continued to play tricks.
"You think he'll care about these little things?" Lin Xiu sat down next to her solemnly.
"What if I don't say yes?" Bai Xue Sakura gave a weird evil smile.
"That keeps all the secrets still secrets." Thin lips as bright as red maple reveal a playful smile.
"Alright then, Senior Brother. Hey, hey..."Bai Xue Sakura pursed her lips, which were as bloodless as cherry blossom petals. turned around and ran back to the room, took out a red jewelry box, and by the way, also helped Lin Xiu bring a cup of hot water and put it on the stone table and sat down.
Lin Xiu looked at her lively and cute appearance, and shook his head helplessly.
"I heard that in half a year, Jade Linglong will hold a concert in Sioux City. But in fact, I want to talk about Concubine Qing..."Lin Xiu sat down and blew on the hot water in his hand, but was interrupted by her before he could finish speaking.
"Is Aunt Yu coming back from Xiaobang Country, I haven't heard from their family since that incident." Bai Xue Sakura hung down her little head in frustration.
"Don't worry, Yu Linglong can make a comeback, which means that she must have been taking care of Qingge for the past two years. As for Uncle Su Jing, I believe that he has been silently protecting Qingge in the dark. Lin Xiu patted her weak shoulder comfortingly.
"Two years ago, everyone went to the UK to attend your wedding with your aunt, which was a very happy thing, how did it become like this?" Bai Xueying couldn't help but have a sour nose, and every time she looked back on the past, it made her heart ache. As a result, the heart disease has recurred several times. This is also the fact that Master Liu Mingyin and father Bai Yong did not let her investigate Su Qingge's disappearance privately.
"Later, everyone came back and told me that Qingge was only injured after an explosion at your wedding to Aunt Ruoyou. A year off is required to return from the UK. Although everyone still continues to live, but it has completely changed, Concubine Qing and Senior Xin Ze not only broke up but also moved out of here, and the master is also sullen every day, if an aunt dies, even you will become silent.
Even though no one told me the truth, I knew it wasn't that simple. You keep saying, don't tell me, it's all for my good, you know, a person faces the sudden disappearance of his little friend, but he doesn't know why, what a torment it is, if an aunt dies, you must be sad, you must be able to understand me, want to find out the truth of the feelings. ”
Tears fell down the cold stone table one by one, and the clear tears reflected the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky.
Speaking of this, Bai Xueying's thoughts replied that when the summer vacation was about to end last year, it was a year after Qingge was attacked, when she was at the house of Lao Bai's father in Shanghai, she suddenly received a call from Lin Xiu at night, telling herself that Qingge would fly to Xiaobang Country in an hour after Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.
Yu Linglong originally wanted to fly directly from the UK to Xiaobang Country, but because of the weather, she had to go back to China for a few days to see what she was going to do. Su Qingge's mother Yu Linglong was the most famous female singer in Asia at that time, and Su Qingge's father Su Jing was a famous host of a program. I don't know how the media knew that singer Yu Linglong and host Su Jing would appear at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. Not only did it reveal that they were an underground couple, but they also said that their daughter was a victim of a gang~ rape case in the underworld.
Lin Xiu looked back at her distressedly, and her thoughts were full of thoughts. However, in the year since Su Qingge's accident, Bai Xueying had no idea about it.
Everyone is trying to hide it, first, Bai Xueying has congenital heart disease and is afraid that she won't be able to stand it after knowing about it.
Second, the wedding scene is not accidental. Li Ruoyou and Lin Xiu have been colleagues and lovers for many years. To be able to attack Interpol, what kind of conspiracy is behind this matter, and what underworld forces organize everything is a mystery.
He is still under secret investigation. This is the reason why Bai Xueying can't be involved, but she pleaded with herself again and again, and Lin Xiu couldn't bear it. Originally, I just wanted Bai Xue Ying to see Su Qingge, but the development of things was not something he could control...
When Bai Xueying first arrived at the airport, it was already early in the morning, and the fish belly had just appeared in the east. The airport that turned out to be deserted is now crowded with people. There was a lot of noise and discussion.
The summer breeze blew, but the white snow cherry blossoms felt the biting cold, and the whole person was at a loss as if falling into an ice cave. She felt like there were lies all around, and she wouldn't allow anyone to maliciously slander the people she cared about, her best buddies. She angrily tugged at the media who looked like fanged ghosts. The crowd pushed her to the ground like a madman.
At this time, a group of medical staff wearing medical masks quickly came out of the waiting room on a white stretcher, and a girl wearing an oxygen mask was lying on it, followed by a graceful and graceful woman, who was wearing a peaked cap and also wearing a mask. Bai Xue Sakura can see at a glance that it is a noble and elegant jade. Just wanted to shout, suddenly a tall girl appeared in the crowd and grabbed her, and Bai Xue Ying looked at it and saw that it was Lin Xiu. She desperately tried to break free from his confinement, and her heart was also tormented and cried out when she missed her partner all the time.
At this time, the crowd surged, and the media chased and intercepted it. Lin Xiu followed the airport security colleagues who had been contacted a long time ago, and took Bai Xueying to quickly approach the girl wearing an oxygen mask. Yu Linglong chose to stop at the boarding gate, took off her sunglasses, smiled, and calmly responded to all kinds of sharp and unreasonable words from the media.
Bai Xueying finally saw her little friend who had been thinking about her day and night, but she was lying there motionless, her emaciated face seemed to tell endless pain and sorrow. At this time, a group of security personnel rushed over and nervously pushed away the white stretcher. Yu Linglong also left with her.
"Light song! Light song!! Light Song !!" Bai Xue Sakura tried to suppress her throat, and sat on the ground in a panic and weakness as if someone had snatched her beloved Barbie doll. She only felt her chest pressing down like a boulder, her head was spinning, and her eyes were dark, and she fainted to the ground in the cool morning breeze.
Lin Xiu still remembered the first time he saw Bai Xueying ten years ago, when he was just an orphan who often went in and out of the juvenile correctional center, and met a kind sister Nie Feiyu on the road.
She not only adopted herself, but also taught herself the principles of martial arts and life. Later, she left herself and entrusted herself to Liu Mingyin, a man who was not good-looking and unsmiling.
In this cherry blossom courtyard, he saw Bai Xue Sakura, who was only six years old at the time, and she was lying in bed almost every day. It seems that he will swallow his breath at any time, every time Liu Mingyin brings the doctor over, the doctor shakes his head and sighs every time he leaves.
She was so thin, with big eyes full of tears and horror. There were also two older girls, one lively and cheerful, who ran around like crazy all day. The other is a short-haired girl who doesn't like to talk all day long, and spends her days in the courtyard every morning. They seem to have lived here for a long time and are eager to have new companions to keep them company. Every day, I care about the new little sister.
Lin Xiu hated this place, it was just a small shelter, and three little girls that no one wanted, including him, the poor worm. But one day, Lin Xiu decided to stay and live here. Living with three little girls.
I remember that there was a light snow in the sky that day, and the snowflakes in the sky quickly decorated the entire courtyard.
The weak body struggled to climb out of bed, and she stared blankly at the cherry blossoms that filled the trees. The indescribable compassion on his face.
"What's your name?"
"How old are you?"
"Where are you from?"
Su Qingge curiously surrounded her and asked endless questions.
One drop, two drops, three drops, red blood quietly dripped from the miserable white face, and the red liquid was imprinted on the white snow. It's so shocking.
Su Qingge screamed in horror and covered her face with her hands. Concubine Jiang Qing, who didn't like to smile, quickly rushed back to the room and took out a tissue. The two girls hurriedly helped Bai Xue Sakura wipe the blood that kept gushing out of her nostrils.
Liu Mingyin also hurriedly walked out of the room when he heard the sound, he didn't do anything, just looked at the three girls without saying a word, their expressions were full of deep disappointment and self-blame. For a moment, Lin Xiu felt as if his cheeks had been hit by something, hot.
Nie Feiyu, who had kindly adopted him, was also worried about himself at that time, looking at himself covered in bruises after fighting with others. I remembered what my sister once said to herself: "People live not only to live, but also to stop grieving those who care about themselves." ”
"Will she die? Master! Su Qingge looked at her little sister lying on the bed, her innocent little face was full of worry.
"Concubine Qing, you take care of your little sister, and I'll cook some porridge for my little sister." Liu Mingyin kindly touched the little heads of the two girls.
"Let me do it." Lin Xiu held a few cherry blossoms in his hand and stood by the semi-open kitchen. Liu Mingyin was a little surprised, and then nodded happily.
"Wow! The little sister likes the cherry blossom porridge made by Lin Xiu very much. Su Qingge stared at the girl who was drinking porridge, dancing happily.
At this time, on his little face, which was as pale as snow, squeezed out a smile, and counted a sentence like a dragonfly dotting water: "Thank you!" ”
Su Qingge and Concubine Jiang Qingge hugged as if they had won the jackpot, and cheered together.
Liu Mingyin's originally unsmiling face also showed a smile of relief, and he turned to Lin Xiu and said, "You saved her." ”
Lin Xiu also laughed happily, feeling for the first time that helping others could be so happy. In my heart, I replied, no, she saved me. At that time, he secretly swore in his heart that he would protect her for the rest of her life.
Lin Xiu came back to his senses and looked at Chu Chu's pitiful Bai Xue Ying, whose face was full of tears, and couldn't help but feel distressed, but he still didn't hold back the words in his heart. "I want to tell you the truth about something now."
Bai Xue Sakura looked at him expectantly.
"If there is Li Xinze's aunt, she is a senior Chinese bodyguard, an Interpol, and a British government. During a mission, she was injured in order to save me, and she had to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of her life, so she chose to retire. We were both rebellious as children, both spent time in a juvenile correctional facility, and then I became a police officer and kept in touch with her. I know that she has always liked me and hopes that she will have me by her side for the rest of her life. So I agreed to her proposal. "I think of the beautiful and elegant woman who has a smile like a spring breeze on her face at all times, with a sunny breath. Lin Xiu still had a trace of sadness and sadness in his heart.
Bai Xue Ying got up and walked to his side and pinched Lin Xiu's cheek, "Are you okay?" ”
Lin Xiu looked up at the girl with her eyes cut water, revealing a gentle expression that had disappeared for a long time.
"That light song is the wedding scene and Aunt Ruoyou was together..."Bai Xueying's tone was a little choked. She has lived in the cherry blossom courtyard since she was a child, either on the way to Shanghai for treatment or in a hospital in Sioux City. She never went far again. She didn't see Li Ruoyou, but from the expressions of her master Liu Mingyin and senior Li Xinze, she knew that she was a beautiful and brave woman.
"During the wedding rehearsal, Qingge was not present. Your master and I have already investigated the cause of the wedding explosion, and it is because the underworld came to retaliate if he provoked when he was in office. I should have noticed it sooner. He looked at the sky, his tone a little weak.
"Where was that light song then?" Bai Xueying hated her current self a little, but she still couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xiu quickly returned to his former steady appearance.
"Did you know that Qingge has a British boyfriend?"
"Yes, you mean Edward." Bai Xueying seemed to catch something, and continued, "When the wedding was going on, the girl was with Edward, and then what happened, they didn't return to the wedding scene in time. ”
The thin red lips opened slightly to reveal the good-looking little tiger teeth, and Lin Xiu smiled with relief, "You didn't follow your master's great detective in vain." ”
At the mention of Master, Bai Xueying's eyes lit up. Eyebrows flew and said, "Of course! ”
"However, Edward and Qingge have known each other since childhood, they both like to sing, they have always been in touch, and their relationship is very good, Edward will not harm her." Bai Xue Sakura affirmed.
"When it happened, I didn't know about it, your master and Yu Linglong went to deal with it, and your master didn't tell me what happened afterwards, and I have been busy with the funeral..."
Happy events turn into funerals, just because he is ashamed of Li Ruoyou, God will make this big joke to punish himself! Lin Xiu smiled miserably, and his heart was so sad that he couldn't get it any more.
