Chapter 21 Since you can't bear it, don't break it in anger
After pulling Lu Yunzheng to the private room we booked, my mood did not calm down.
At this moment, my mind is full of bad memories of the past, piercing into the flesh like a sharp knife, which makes people feel painful.
At this time, Lu Yunzheng, who was standing beside me, coughed lightly a few times, and I looked down to find that my hand was still holding his bony wrist and did not let go.
"Sorry, I didn't notice this." I let go of his wrist as if I had been woken up and apologized.
Lu Yunzheng glanced at me lightly and took his hand back, did not respond to me, turned around and took his seat, picked up the menu and began to order.
None of us have a say in the matter of family relationships, so we tacitly avoid talking about this topic.
This scenic spot is relatively close to the river, and the restaurant's signature dish is a variety of fish.
We ordered a whole plate of steamed tempeh fish, a few side dishes and some desserts, I ordered everything that looked delicious and wanted to eat one by one, and if I couldn't finish eating, I packed it and took it away, anyway, Lu Yunzheng paid for it.
My mood has been terrible since I met Su Zihan, and I must eat a lot of food and forget these troublesome things after a while.
"Do you hate her?" While waiting for the food to come up, Lu Yunzheng suddenly asked such a question lightly.
My short-circuited brain hasn't reacted yet, and it took a few seconds before it started to function, and he reacted that he asked me if I hated Su Zihan.
In the few seconds of thinking, countless fragments of my childhood flashed in my mind, and there were actually warm and sweet moments between me and Su Zihan, but these fragments were a little insignificant in the long river of memory.
But I was still amazed to find that I still remember these fragments clearly, and I can remember the details of those joys and happiness even now when I think about them.
"Hate, but it doesn't matter, I have my own life now, with Lao Jiang, Aunt Li and you, you are all my family."
When I said this, I lowered my head slightly to hide the tears in my eyes, but unfortunately I still didn't hold back, and one drop fell into the cup, causing layers of ripples.
"If I only remember the pain, I will never get out." I snorted and added.
Suddenly, the room was so quiet that I could hear a silver needle falling to the ground, and when I raised my head again, I saw the thoughtful expression on Lu Yunzheng's handsome face.
We were all full of this meal, maybe because of the topic, Lu Yunzheng and I didn't have much communication this time, but both quietly pulled the rice in the bowl, and occasionally there was a crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the dishes.
After I came out of the restaurant after I was full, I suggested that I would like to visit this place again and take some photos, because I was in a hurry to eat in the morning.
"If you don't want to, I'll ...... it by myself" I didn't want to trouble Lu Yunzheng, and if he wasn't happy, I didn't want to force him to go shopping with me, so I said this.
"No," I was interrupted by Lu Yunzheng's voice before I finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and glanced at me and said softly: "I'm a little full of food, and I have nothing to do when I go back now."
After hearing Lu Yunzheng's promise, I felt a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and the corners of my mouth were almost at the root of my ears.
Although it was afternoon, the number of people walking on the street did not decrease at all, I pulled Lu Yunzheng to drink a bowl of sweet water, and when I turned around, I saw a custom cheongsam shop opened opposite the sugar water shop.
A girl my age couldn't resist these beautiful clothes, but when I saw the word "customized", I knew it wasn't cheap.
Forget it, I didn't have much money with me when I came out this time, I can't let Lu Yunzheng buy it for me, I'm embarrassed to ask people for things like a beggar.
Lu Yunzheng had already noticed my abnormality, and he followed my somewhat stunned gaze and found the cheongsam shop.
"Go in and have a look?" He asked softly.
"No, I'm ......" I was a little embarrassed, I don't know how to describe it, I can't afford it.
"Didn't bring any money?" Lu Yunzheng saw through the thoughts in my heart at once, raised his handsome eyebrows, and said with a smile.
"Hmm......" I pursed my lips and felt embarrassed, it was really uncomfortable for this kind of careful thinking to be poked in public, and my toes tightened unconsciously in my shoes.
"Let's go." Lu Yunzheng pushed my arm, and then he said in a low voice with a little smile: "I'll pay in advance first, and I'll go back to Ms. Li for reimbursement."
"Hey...... Hey...... "Lu Yunzheng is not a person who can only talk about it, he is simply a giant in action, and he pulled me into this store before he could finish speaking."
After entering, the moment the door was pushed, the wooden door hit the wind chimes hanging on it and made a crisp and pleasant sound, and the boss heard the sound and walked out of the room.
I looked at the dazzling array of beautiful cheongsams inside, each of which was beautiful in peach and willow green, and some were even trimmed with gold wire, which was extremely luxurious.
Looking at the good design and texture of these cheongsams, I regret that I followed Lu Yunzheng in, these clothes should not be ordinary expensive.
"Hello, you two are here to pick out the cheongsam?"
The old man pushed the old-fashioned round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked us unhurriedly.
How dare I take his words, the money in my bag is estimated to be not even a fraction of a piece of clothing, so I can only hide behind Lu Yunzheng in embarrassment.
Anyway, this is what Lu Yunzheng proposed to visit, and now he should come out to deal with it.
As if sensing my uneasiness, Lu Yunzheng chuckled, cleared his throat, and replied calmly: "Well, pick one for her."
His voice is like the breath of the faint grass after the new rain in the empty mountain, low and pleasant, rippling little by little in this ancient town, which makes people fascinated.
"This young lady doesn't look very old, so it's suitable to wear some light-colored styles." The old man leaned in and looked me up and down, smiled and took out a peach-apricot silk from the top of the cabinet and handed it to my hand.
"The name of this fabric is pink, and the light pink base is paired with a few peach blossoms. This young lady has relatively white skin, and it is best to wear light colors. ”
The material is smooth and delicate to the touch, just like the skin of a young girl, and the peach blossoms are outlined with gold threads.
I watched Lu Yunzheng's slender fingers caress the fabric inch by inch, and some yellow waste was produced in my brain.
Sins, sins, sins! It must be that this fabric is so beautiful.
"How? Two digits. ”
The old man saw that Lu Yunzheng was wearing a famous brand and his extraordinary temperament, so this sentence was addressed to him.
"Well, that's it."
Lu Yunzheng withdrew his fingers, nodded with satisfaction without thinking about it, and agreed.
"Hey, wait!" I pressed Lu Yunzheng's hand that was about to take out his wallet, pulled him to the corner and asked in a low voice: "Don't do it, this looks expensive, I'll pay it myself."
Although I didn't make any money, I still had some small savings. Thinking of this, I turned my head to the boss who was waiting for our reply and cleared my throat and asked, "How much does it cost to make a finished product?"
"It's not expensive." The boss shook his head with a smile, then stretched out five fingers and gestured.
"Five hundred?" There was a hint of excitement and happiness in my voice, I could still afford 500 yuan.
The boss shook his head again, and the expression on his face was a little mysterious: "Five figures."
"Five-Digit ???" My mouth was so amazed that I could stuff a big egg into it, and five figures was such a luxury for a dress for me as a high school student.
"Yes." The boss looked at Lu Yunzheng, obviously knowing that he had money, and the decision was in his hands.
"Is it okay to swipe a card?" Lu Yunzheng was used to it since he was a young master, and this money was nothing at all, so he took out a black bank card from his wallet and handed it to the boss.
"Yes, yes, yes." After the boss glanced at the bank card, his expression was shocked, and he glanced at Lu Yunzheng carefully, and took it with both hands respectfully.
"It's so expensive, why did you buy it for me?"
Taking advantage of the boss's efforts to swipe the card, I pulled the sleeve of Lu Yunzheng's clothes and whispered.
Lu Yunzheng didn't care about money at all, he just thought that my appearance was a little cute, and he raised the corners of his mouth and joked: "When Ms. Li forces me to marry in the future, you can just help me say a few good words."
"Okay, no problem, you can wrap yourself up on me!" That person's money and wealth eliminate disasters for others, I swore and patted my chest to promise that I was willing to go to the soup for Lu Yunzheng.
When he heard that we were going to leave for home tomorrow, he immediately called a few old tailors to rush to work together, saying that he wanted us to get the skirt before the evening.
And this kind of operation? I looked at the busy figures of several people in front of me, and I couldn't help but sigh again that it was good to be rich.
While waiting for the skirt to be made, I was embarrassed to keep prostituting Lu Yunzheng's things for nothing, so I offered to let him wander around the street casually for me to treat.
So the two of us ate and drank again, and when it was time to go back to the store to pick up our clothes.
When I put on that cheongsam, I myself was amazed by the girl in the mirror.
The pink fabric makes my skin white and beautiful, my lips are red and my teeth are white, and my young and energetic skin is like a scorching peach blossom that blooms in March and still has flower bones.
"Is it pretty?" I carefully turned around a few times in front of the mirror, and turned back to ask Lu Yunzheng, who was standing behind me.
"Hmm." Lu Yunzheng's expression was unnatural, and he coughed lightly and turned his head over: "Let's go."
I thought he wasn't interested, until I went out and saw his ears red half the sky.
It turns out that Lu Yunzheng is shy!
Just as my heart was stirring slightly, a young man came out of the photo studio next door and blocked our way.
"Excuse me, do you two want to take a group of photos?" The young man's face was very excited, and his eyes were full of adoration when he looked at the two of us: "I have no malice, I just think that you two are very worthy of being talented and beautiful, so I want to take a set of photos for you for free, and it will be regarded as publicity for our photo studio."
Lu Yunzheng's brows furrowed, obviously not interested in this kind of thing.
But I have, what girl can refuse to wear such a beautiful dress for a photo?
Seeing that I looked at the window with a little nostalgia, Lu Yunzheng reluctantly nodded in agreement.
In this way, Lu Yunzheng and I had the first group photo.
In the photo, Lu Yunzheng stood behind me in a straight tunic, as noble and cold as a young master studying abroad in an aristocratic family. I sat nervously on a carved rosewood chair with my feet folded together, smiling brightly and shyly.
"This is a photo that you guys washed out for free."
The young man happily handed us the finished product, and I rubbed the smooth surface of the photo, looking at Lu Yunzheng's handsome face, and the excitement in my heart couldn't help but overflow my chest.
I thought Lu Yunzheng wouldn't ask for a photo, it was just that he was in a good mood to accompany me to take it, but I didn't expect him to take this group photo.
"Why do you want this?" I asked curiously.
"Then why do you want this?" Lu Yunzheng asked rhetorically without thinking about it.
"There's me on this, it's weirdly good-looking." There was a bit of girlish shyness in my tone.
"Well, there's me up there, too." Lu Yunzheng's answer was a little smiling.
I'm a narcissistic person, but I didn't expect Lu Yunzheng to be so narcissistic. But also, he is so handsome, and narcissism is normal.
The beautiful day was coming to an end, and it was already evening when the two of us returned to the villa at a leisurely pace.
"Come with me."
I pulled Lu Yunzheng to the door of the room I was in and told him to wait for me there.
After I returned to the room, I took out something from my suitcase, which was originally intended to be given to Lu Yunzheng as a New Year's gift yesterday, but I didn't expect that I drank too much and delayed the best time.
Lu Yunzheng took the photo that I had repaired and re-mounted, and his deep eyes sank.
This photo is the broken family photo I found at Lu Yunzheng's house last time, I think he must have cared about this photo very much, but he was in a bad mood and broke it.
I looked at Lu Yunzheng's handsome face staring at the photo in contemplation, and I couldn't help but whisper: "Since you can't bear it, don't break it in anger."
As soon as I said this, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Although I can see that Lu Yunzheng cherishes this family very much, but this is a wound that Lu Yunzheng can't touch, will I make him think I'm nosy?
Time passed minute by minute, Lu Yunzheng just stared at the photo in his hand and didn't speak, just when I thought he would blame me for crossing the line, he raised his head and put the photo in his pocket with an expressionless face.
"Got it."
Lu Yunzheng's voice as cool as water came faintly, and I knew that he was accepting my kindness.
