Qian Chaochao thought of the girl dressed as a man outside the hospital. She recognized it as a woman at a glance. Could Zhu Ruilin's decision to break off the engagement have something to do with her? Qian Chaochao made a random guess.
"What do I want from you? I just want you." She said bluntly.
Zhu Ruilin had never heard a woman be so direct, blushing, "The imperial examination is about to take place, I..."
"If you no longer refuse, that means you have agreed."
"No." Zhu Ruilin said, "I can't give you a response."
"Can not do it now?"
"Never."
"Why?"
He calmed down and said, "The reason why I broke off the engagement is not just the one I mentioned just now. I already have someone in my heart."
"You have your own heart, what does it have to do with me?"
Zhu Ruilin knew that she was unreasonable when she was a child, but now she is even more unreasonable, "I will not be with you."
"But I saved your life. Everyone says that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. I saved your life. Wouldn't it be even more important for you to repay me with a spring?"
"How do you want me to repay you?"
"I made it very clear, I only want you."
Zhu Ruilin really didn't know what virtue or ability he had that made her insist so much.
"Qian Chaochao!" He called her name.
"It's still the same as when you were a kid. You always call me by your first name when you're angry." She smiled.
"I will repay the favor, but I will not marry you."
"You have your own heart, right?" she said, "Love is about consensuality. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you alone have your own heart here?"
"You don't even know who the person in my heart is, so you say we don't love each other?"
"What if I knew?"
"How do you know that you have never participated in me all these years? You only see me now and me in the past. Even if I was two years ago, you don't know me."
"I missed you before because you deliberately didn't reply to my letters, and I didn't know where you were. Now that I have found you, I won't let you run away from me again."
"Why bother obsessing over me?"
"What about you? Why are you obsessed with the woman next to you?"
"She...she is very good, different from other women."
Qian Chaochao gritted his teeth, but still had a smile on his face, "Isn't your wishful thinking as ridiculous as me?"
"I'm not wishful thinking."
"Go and verify it with your own eyes to see if you are right?" Qian Chaochao said deliberately.
"How to verify?"
"If I guess correctly, the person you miss is outside, and she happens to be in Liangzhu. I called her here, thinking that you are old friends, so it would be good to meet in Liangzhu."
Zhu Ruilin didn't believe it, "She's here? You didn't lie to me?"
"Why don't you go out and see for yourself?"
Zhu Ruilin was about to run out in a hurry, but Qian Chaochao grabbed his sleeve and said, "If you are wishful thinking, just marry me, accept all the help from me and my father, follow your original path, and stop looking at the past. .”
Zhu Ruilin nodded, "Okay, I promise you." He was eager to get rid of her shackles.
"Miss Tang'er?" he shouted, recognizing her back at a glance.
Jin Tang'er was afraid that he would see that she had just cried, so she lowered her head slightly and said, "Mr. Zhu."
"How will you be here?"
Jin Tang'er wanted to tell him that that day, she had the same bad dream as his mother.
She was half asleep and awake at night when she just closed her eyes. She heard the sound of panicked footsteps beside the bed. Jin Tanger opened her eyes hard, but only opened them a little, and her vision was blurry. A middle-aged man with a strange appearance came in from the door. , dressed upright, wearing auspicious clothes, a jasper belt around his waist, and green satin boots at his feet.
Jin Tang'er was so frightened that she was about to shout, but the man said, "Girl Jin, don't be afraid."
"You... do you know who I am?" Jin Tang'er asked.
"I just want to ask you something today."
"I'm just a woman, I have no power, and I can't do anything for you."
He said, "Only you can help with this matter."
"So, just say it and I'll listen and see if I can help."
"The dog is living in Liangzhu, and he will be killed by a villain soon. He will definitely be on the list for this imperial examination. If he passes this disaster, his future is limitless, but this disaster is a disaster of death. I hope the girl will try her best to help. .”
"But I don't know you, nor do you know your master, how can I help?" Jin Tang'er was confused.
"If you ask me about the name of the god, it has been established for many years. More than ten years ago, a member of the Yushi family interfered in politics and harmed Zhongliang and his Majesty the Yushi family. I then remonstrated and asked Your Majesty to make the decision for Zhongliang and severely punish the Yushi family. , His Majesty openly accepted my words and deeds, but in fact he demoted me from Liangzhu and was never allowed to enter the imperial city again. In anger, I fell seriously ill and passed away, leaving orphans and widows. You have also seen my dog, he The name is Ruilin."
"Ruilin... could it be Zhu Ruilin? Is it..."
With a flash of red light, the figure disappeared from the room. Jin Tang'er woke up from her dream, with cold sweat covering her back. She calmed down and listened carefully to the turret, only to hear the drum beating the third watch.
She had been thinking about this strange dream in those days, and she heard Mrs. Zhu also said that she foresaw Zhu Ruilin's murder in her dream, which made her even more worried, so she wanted to go to Liangzhu to find him.
When Zhu Ruilin saw that she didn't answer, he said rudely, "I was really surprised to meet the girl in Liangzhu. Just now... I escaped death, and I feel even more comforted when I see the girl. If I'm ashamed of the girl, it's my fault."
Jin Tanger shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I'm here... because..."
Seeing Qian Chaochao looking at her with a smile behind him in the backyard, he was confident.
"Mrs. Zhu said that since you have been gone for a long time, she is really worried and asked me to give this thing to you." She took out the Jinliangzhan, "I came to Liangzhu with my family to visit my grandfather, and it was just a casual job. , I wish you’re welcome, sir.”
She had finished everything she said, and even if he wanted to greet her, he was polite and didn't know what to say to her.
"Miss Tang'er..." He paused, not knowing what to say to her.
Jin Tang'er was lost and tried her best to smile and said, "Mr. Zhu, I heard that Mr. Cai was in danger just now. Fortunately, he met that girl to help him. I'm really lucky."
He turned around and met Qian Chaochao's eyes.
"Yes, she saved me." He said.
"Sinking fish and falling geese, she forgets her customs when she sees her. If she is such a woman, Tang'er is really happy for her husband."
"Girl Jin...Why did Miss Jin hide the money under the food box?"
"I...sir was in a difficult situation at that time, and I wanted to help him..."
"Thank you, Miss Jin. Is there any other reason besides wanting to help me?"
"...No, sir is very good to my brother...I...I want to repay sir..."
Zhu Ruilin nodded stiffly, "Thank you very much, girl. I will definitely return the money one day."
She wanted to say no, but somehow she said, "Okay."
Zhu Ruilin met her in pairs, but his heartbeat was gone on that moonlit night. He thought he had reached this point and she would understand, but she didn't respond to him. This might be a rejection.
He has never been one to dwell on things to the end.
He took half a step back, bowed his hands respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Miss Jin."
Jin Tang'er's tears were almost falling. She turned around quickly and said, "Since I have given the things to you sir, I will leave first."
"I'll give the girl a ride."
