For Lu Shen, Wang Chulong's question itself is not difficult to answer, and what is worth savoring is the deep meaning contained in it.

Wang Chulong has been coming to Huaizhou for more than two months, has been living in Lu Mansion and has never gone out, except for Lu Shen and the maids and servants in the house, she has only seen her cousin Wang Jun twice, the rest of the time to keep her own clumsy and foolish, as if she is an inconspicuous passerby, this is just a place for her to stop temporarily.

However, both of them knew in their hearts that from the day Wang Chulong lived in Lu's house, unless Lu Shen made up his mind to cut off his relationship with her, her future would only be to marry Lu Shen.

Since Lu Shen agreed to her to move in, he would not do anything to abandon the beginning, but this does not mean that the two can respect each other as guests.

It is also possible to respect each other like ice.

Because their relationship was not pure from the beginning, let alone a lifelong agreement between the two lovers.

Wang Chulong thought about the fate of Zhai Lin Wang's family, took the initiative to assume the responsibilities that the Wang family should bear, and put his own happiness aside, just to make up for the rift caused by the Wang family's betrayal of Daqi.

Lu Shen considered the overall situation of the Northern Expedition, in order to reduce the losses of the soldiers on the battlefield and better win the hearts of the people in the north in the future, so he would agree to Zhai Linwang's request and accept the sincerity of the other party at his own expense. He made this clear in his letter to Lin Xi that there was no need to hide this matter.

In the final analysis, this extremely intelligent young man came together with a lot of factors other than feelings.

Therefore, they seem to get along very harmoniously, because they both know each other's thoughts and bottom lines.

If it continues like this, they should get married smoothly in the future, and then follow the attitude of respecting each other to spend their lives, but how much affection exists in it, I'm afraid no one can say.

Wang Chulong is aware of this, she wants to make efforts and attempts, although the beginning has been determined that it cannot be changed, but there is still hope for run-in in the process.

And if he wants to make a change, Lin Xi is a person who can't get around no matter what.

After living in Lu's house, Jinshu got a lot of information about Lu Shen from Song Pei, especially his experience in relationships. On the one hand, Jin Shu was pleased with Song Pei's knowledge, and always felt that it was his own credit, on the other hand, he couldn't help but sigh at Lu Shen's honest duty, obviously he was an upstart in the army with a rich family and a promising future, but he never messed with flowers and grass, and so far he has only been emotionally involved with Lin Xi.

Wang Chulong looked deeper, which does not mean that Song Pei is simple-minded and does not know how to keep secrets. The reason why she is so honest must be from Lu Shen's instructions, and through her telling Jinshu about these things, Wang Chulong will naturally know.

Judging from this, this is not Lu Shen telling her in a gentle way that the relationship between him and Lin Xi is stronger than Jin, and she is destined to be just a latecomer.

Wang Chulong never thought about deliberately fighting for anything, but if she had a choice, of course she didn't want to live a life of respect for the rest of her life.

After all, she has just turned nineteen this year, and her life has just begun.

The room was as warm as spring, and the two were relatively silent, letting time slip away quietly.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Shen slowly opened the conversation: "When I first met my senior sister, I thought she was very quiet and beautiful, and even had a little bit of shyness and innocence when she first entered the red dust, not like a long-standing heroine. Later, I followed her to practice martial arts, and I became more and more sure of this, her heart was pure and flawless, and she was not contaminated with the flies and dogs of the world, even though she had experienced a lot of bloody storms and life and death. ”

Wang Chulong had never met Lin Xi, and he didn't know much about her, so he couldn't be sure if Lu Shen's beautiful words were true.

It stands to reason that she might be jealous, but there is no sourness in her heart, only curiosity that surprises her.

She adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and her long autumn eyes looked at Lu Shen gently.

"At that time, our Lu family was involved in a small crime, and we had a lot of contact with the officials of the Warp Weaving Department. One morning, I went to my sister to practice martial arts as agreed, and as soon as I went out, I was stopped by the people of the warp weaving department, and then they took me to a tavern and met with a certain adult. Of course, he didn't deliberately embarrass me, just talked about some topics related to the case. ”

Maybe it's because Wang Chulong chose a good entry point, and Lu Shen doesn't mind telling outsiders the story of him and Lin Xi.

Memories came flooding back, and when he told these past events, he had a faint smile between his eyebrows.

Wang Chulong took the opportunity to ask, "So she came to you?" ”

Lu Shen looked at her with a little surprise, nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, I didn't even think of that scene." After coming out of the tavern, I suddenly found my sister at the corner of the long street. At that time, she told me that she had been busy teaching me martial arts since she came to Guangling, and she finally had some free time before she thought about coming out for a walk. In fact, I knew very well in my heart that my senior sister saw that I didn't go to the appointment, and was worried that I was in trouble, so she came out to look for me. ”

"That's good."

Wang Chulong said sincerely.

Lu Shen felt something in his heart and smiled: "At that time, we were not very familiar with each other, but when I saw Senior Sister on the corner of the street, I suddenly felt that there was an uncertain emotion surging in my heart, as if I suddenly saw a ray of light in a fog. ”

Wang Chulong said softly: "I don't know what to do, go deep." ”

Lu Shen stared at her face, although he couldn't fully confirm that she didn't have the slightest guilt in her heart when she listened to these things, but it could probably be seen that her mood was very calm.

When Wang Chulong saw that he had stopped talking, he asked, "What happened later?" ”

Lu Shen thought for a while and said as briefly as possible: "Later, Senior Sister helped me capture the pseudo-Yan Xizuo in Guangling City, and fought with me on the battlefield against the enemy. Later, it was last year's frontier war, and she fought side by side with me from beginning to end, until our army recovered Jianghua City and recovered the territory southeast of Moyang Road, and then she returned to the north with her subordinates. ”

He didn't deliberately describe the thrilling life and death in the process, but Wang Chulong could obviously understand that this time-tested relationship was extremely firm. Even if he is now in Linxi, Huaizhou, in Baotai Mountain, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and it is difficult to climb to the sky if they want to see each other, but time and distance cannot weaken the affection between the two, but will become deeper because they miss each other.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Chulong finally had a slight sour feeling in his heart.

The sensation came so suddenly that she was a little surprised at the same time.

Could it be that he unconsciously had feelings similar to Lin Xi for Lu Shen?

Looking back on this time, there are almost no unforgettable memory points for the two to get along, as plain as water as a mountain stream.

The difference between marrying him and liking him, Wang Chulong asked herself clearly, she wanted to make a change does not mean that she has already been deeply rooted, it is the idea of seeking some assurance and sustenance for the uncertain future, rather than involuntarily confiding in her feelings.

In short, she didn't want to become a clay puppet in the Lu family's back house in the second half of her life, but she didn't take the initiative to go out to look for it after discovering that Lu Shen had missed the appointment, like Lin Xi.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Wang Chulong picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, and then tried to divert the topic: "Master Lu, did you tell Miss Lin about me?" ”

Lu Shen hesitated slightly, looked at the sparkling in her eyes, and finally chose to tell the truth: "Some time ago, I wrote a letter to my senior sister, and in addition to the content related to the war, I did mention Miss Wang. But please rest assured, although Lu did not dare to call himself a humble gentleman, he was by no means a villain who was arguing behind his back, and he only briefly retold the original story of this matter, and did not involve Miss Wang's personal experience. ”

"I believe you."

Wang Chulong doesn't want to compare everything like such a sour woman, but many times people can't control their thoughts, for example, what comes to her mind now is that Lu Shen didn't reply to her, but took the initiative to write to Lin Xi, and the difference is clear at a glance.

Lu Shen obviously realized this, he was a slightly stupid person emotionally, and the relationship between him and Lin Xi was a matter of course, and now in the face of Wang Chulong, who took the initiative to change and took a brave step, he didn't know how to comfort the other party.

At this time, no matter what you say, it will seem very hypocritical.

Wang Chulong noticed the change in the atmosphere, smiled and said, "Master Lu, I envy the common experience between you and Miss Lin, and I am also happy for Miss Lin." Please don't get me wrong, this is a lie, in today's world, it is difficult for you men to understand how rare it is for a woman to want to meet a satisfactory lover and work together for life. ”

"Actually...... I can probably get the idea. ”

If he didn't have the experience of his previous life, it would naturally be difficult for Lu Shen to put himself in his shoes, but it was precisely because he had seen the relatively free love atmosphere in his previous life that he understood that the story between himself and Lin Xi was unique, and it was very rare in this era.

Wang Chulong calmed down and said with a smile: "No one can predict what the future will be, but please rest assured that Lu Gongzi is not the kind of stupid woman who will not do anything embarrassing to you and me." ”

There are some things that stop at the point and don't need to be said too clearly.

Lu Shen's heart was slightly relieved, and he bowed his head and said, "Thank you." ”

Wang Chulong recalled today's communication, although most of the time was talking about the past of Lu Shen and Lin Xi, which did not substantially boost the relationship between her and Lu Shen, but it seems that the distance between the two people has narrowed a little, and the estrangement has also shown signs of dissolving.

She has a temperament that is easy to satisfy, so after a little hesitation, she said softly: "Master Lu, if you don't mind, can we not say this thank you again?" ”

Lu Shen felt the sincerity in her tone, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it should be so." ”

Wang Chulong smiled lightly, got up and said, "You still have a lot of things to do after you come back, so I won't bother and come to visit you another day." ”

"I'll send you."

Lu Shen also stood up and sent her out of the door, watching her leave accompanied by Jinshu, and slowly breathed a long sigh of relief.
