Chapter 37: Li Youruo
"Sister", hearing the sound outside the house, Li Yan's face changed, and she hurriedly ran to open the door.
Outside the house, there was a young woman who was about the same height as Li Yan, wrapped in black clothes all over her body, without revealing any skin, and her face was also covered with a thick black scarf, but there were two small holes in the eyes, which could be vaguely felt, and the eyes inside were as bright as stars.
It should have been an extremely beautiful girl who could match this pair of eyes, but the truth is cruel.
"Sister, when did you come?" Li Yan looked outside as if she was a thief, and then quickly pulled her sister in.
Li Yan's sister had been here for a while, and Zhou Ming also noticed it at that time, but she didn't pay attention to the people outside when she didn't make any moves, and when the other party heard Li Yan's story about the past and analyze the deep guilt in her heart, her breathing suddenly became heavy, so that Zhou Ming faintly guessed the identity of the other party.
"I'll be there for a while", Li Yan's sister didn't lie, and then turned to Zhou Ming's direction with some dodge, and said uneasily: "Zhou... Mr. Zhou, it's really not.. I'm sorry, Yeon-yeon she's so ignorant."
Her voice was strangely hoarse, thinking that she should have been burned by fire back then, even after treatment, she did not completely recover her old appearance, leaving a little hoarseness, which was not unpleasant, but added a strange charm, but this charm is probably not what the girl in front of her wants to have.
When talking to Zhou Ming, he lowered his head, held his palms tightly, and his body trembled slightly, as if he would turn around and run away in the next moment, both timid and pitiful.
Zhou Ming sighed slightly, twelve years ago, she should have been lively and cheerful, but now she has become this timid and afraid to communicate with people, it is conceivable that the fire hurt her.
"What's your name?" Zhou Ming asked, slowing down his tone as much as he could.
"Lee... Li Youruo. It didn't seem to feel the imaginary disgust, and Li Youruo relaxed a little.
"Sister, run away with me, I will never let you marry someone you don't like. Twelve years ago, you protected me; Now, it's my turn to protect you", Li Yan grabbed Li Youruo's arm and said loudly.
She knows that it is a great harm to let Li Youruo look like this, even if it is tightly wrapped in clothes, just imagine how many normal people would wear it like this, seeing her like this, she will immediately think of how unbearable the body in the clothes is, and this is what Li Youruo is most afraid of.
"Yeon-yeon, stop messing around." Li Youruo touched her sister's hair, and when she faced Li Yan, she returned to normal again, no longer so timid, although she helped Li Yan avoid a disaster twelve years ago, but Li Youruo never got angry with Li Yan, this sister is her most cherished relative.
"If I leave now, where do you put my parents' faces, and besides, I don't want to run away." The black cloth was covered, and Li Youruo's expression could not be seen, perhaps he was smiling bitterly.
"I've been running away for twelve years, enough and tired, I can't go without seeing people for the rest of my life, I've figured it out, I'll accept my fate, and I'll go to see guests later." There was a different meaning in Li Youruo's voice, Li Yan couldn't hear it with shallow experience, but Zhou Ming, who had accepted the memories of hundreds of years of souls from another world, had a change in expression.
That is the will to die, Li Youruo already has the idea of seeking death.
Maybe she went out to meet people this time, just because she didn't want to disappoint her parents, she didn't want to continue to live in this world with this face.
"Do you believe in fate?" At this moment, Zhou Ming's flat voice came into Li Youruo's ears.
"Zhou... Mr. Zhou? Li Youruo became nervous again.
"Can you believe it?" Zhou Ming continued to ask.
"I, I don't know......" Li Youruo said confusedly, is this really her fate?
"Six years ago, my parents were in a plane crash while they were on a business trip, leaving me and my brother to rely on each other." Zhou Ming's voice was very calm, without too much color, but it was listened to by Li Youruo.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Li Youruo said apologetically.
"At that time, I also despaired, I hated, I hated this damn God, this damn fate, since I was born in a family, why didn't you give me a smooth sailing life, why did you give me so much suffering and torture." Zhou Ming slowly recounted his past.
This is the first time he has told others how he felt in the past, and Li Yan's eyes were wide open, and he could listen attentively, not to mention Li Youruo, who had a sense of empathy.
"I was decadent for a long time, but in the end, I still cheered up, because I still have my younger brother to take care of, and I still have to take back my parents' inheritance, I can't be so decadent, so I started to work hard."
"After the death of my parents, the help my family gave me was gone, I relied on my own efforts, I was admitted to Linhai University, tasted the joy of success, until recently, I had my own business, and I began to move towards my goal."
Zhou Ming laughed: "From this, I realized a truth. ”
"What's the truth?" Li Yan interjected.
"The suffering in life is not the torture of fate to you, but just some tempering, you see the bracelet on your hand, it was rough originally, but after continuous grinding and processing, it has become the perfect appearance now." Zhou Ming pointed to Li Yan's wrist and said, "Fate is the same."
"The precipitation of fate, the tempering of fate, is to make you shine more brightly."
This is indeed Zhou Ming's own feelings, even if he does not have an otherworldly soul, he believes that he will be strong, although his achievements are far from being compared with his current self, but at that time, he will also be fulfilling.
Zhou Ming shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, it was originally a very simple thing, just take out the essence of returning to Qingmu to explain the use, but maybe he was touched by Li Youruo's fate, and unconsciously expressed these feelings and said a lot of things.
"In order to bloom, to release a brighter, brilliant light? Thank you! Mr. Zhou", whispered a few words, Li You thoughtfully, her mood calmed down inexplicably, and the original will to die dissipated unconsciously.
"I, I will go to this banquet", clenched his fists, Li Youruo's attitude has never been so firm.
Zhou Ming's personal experience is more convincing, and it is not something that any person can make Li Youruo listen to.
At this point, Li Yan also fell silent, she knew that it was impossible to persuade her sister to go with her.
The three of them exited the hut and walked towards the hall.
The road hidden in the night was quickly completed, and some dazzling light sprinkled over, making Li Youruo's body shrink involuntarily.
"Believe me, just eat it", Zhou Ming handed a jade bottle to Li Youruo's hand, the latter instinctively shrank his hand, like a frightened deer, hesitated, and then stretched out his finger to take the jade bottle away, through the thick clothes, Zhou Ming could feel her fingertips trembling slightly.
Pulling out the jade bottle and sniffing it, the strange fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, making Li Youruo relax slightly, and then carefully unveiled the veil and drank the essence of the green wood in the jade bottle.
"Go ahead, never bow to fate."
Zhou Ming smiled, pressed his palm on Li Youruo's back, and pushed her out with a slight force.
