For a moment, Wu Qi's eyes were filled with the back of that woman. His feet stepped forward unconsciously, surpassing Adrienne's body in a few steps; walking on the boardwalk, passing through tall, low, dense Bright green potted plants came behind the woman.
At that time, the refreshing smell of liquid asparagus mixed with plant water drops blew towards Wu Qi's face with the breeze, and the sound of the wind contained a wisp of the familiar fragrance of a woman. Wu Qi's mind froze. Several fragmented scenes suddenly flashed in front of the starting point of his originally dark memory. Although those colorful scene fragments are thin and fragmented, they are the most precious first light in the endless darkness.
Although those few rays of light were not enough to pry away the endless darkness, for Wu Qi, that level of "loosening" was already of great significance. The light that emerged from the depths of darkness proved many things, including things related to the woman in front of him.
Wu Qi's legs clenched slightly into fists, and his unopened lips trembled. The whole world was so quiet that it seemed like only he and her were left, and she was pruning the fresh and elegant jade tree calmly. It seemed that if he didn't make a sound, she would not stop, let alone look back.
"mom... ... "
Wu Qi finally spoke out. There was a trace of inimitable trembling in his voice. He could not suppress his emotions and completely burst the dam at this moment.
The woman pruning the jade tree suddenly stopped in Dong Yishu. She suddenly looked back. The breeze blew her soft three thousand green hair at the same time, and a pair of gentle, watery black eyes caught Wu Qi's eyes for the first time.
Click, something seemed to have cracked, and the darkness of Wu Qi's sealed memory suddenly opened a few more cracks. The light coming from behind the cracks outlined the face of the woman in front of him in every scene. Crying and laughing, all kinds of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
At the same time, the woman also saw Wu Qi's face. Her gentle eyes flickered and then reflected two arcs of light reflected in the water.
"Archie, I'm back." She called softly.
This woman is Ruolin, the sister of Ruo Shi'an, one of the five members of the Standing Committee, the leader of the Xuan Ying Gentle Faction, Wu Jun's wife, Wu Qi's mother, and Ruorong's adoptive mother.
Ruolin was wearing a casual and elegant light blue short-sleeved dress, with two clean red arms, and her skin was as good as that of a woman in her twenties. But the years still left indelible traces on her face, and her once beautiful face was forever fixed in the statue at the entrance of Ding'an Building.
But Wu Qi didn't care about that. He rushed forward and hugged the woman who was shorter and thinner than him. After that hug, he clearly felt that his mother was thinner and frailer than he had imagined.
And when the skin touched, Wu Qi, even without the revelation of the wilderness god, could sense the amount of life outside Ruolin's body by instinct: healthy, but very weak, and even she was not a pioneer at all, but was A pure human being stuck in the east of the third level shackles.
It turns out that it is exactly the same as the information that he had understood and pieced together piecemeal.
Wu Qiruchu thought to himself. He could hear his mother's heartbeat. The sound was excited and warm, and seemed to be sincerely telling him that she welcomed him back, which was completely opposite to his father who was sitting high on the Five Standing Committees.
The mother and son, who had not seen each other for more than ten years, hugged each other tightly for a minute, and then separated from each other. Adrienne and Renee, who were behind, had also finished walking the boardwalk and stood not far away, watching Wu Qi and Ruolin quietly.
Rather than talking about being quiet, it is better to say that the two of them are half quiet and half at a loss. Adriana knew before that Madam Wu Qi valued Wu Qi very much, but she never guessed that the relationship between the two was so "direct" and that they were not mother and son! As for Renee, she was completely unprepared and froze up at that moment.
Three years ago, Dr. Greg and the Hanging Eagle Headquarters ordered the wilderness boy to be hunted down. He was not Madam Ruo's son, and Wu Qi was not Madam Ruo's son, which meant that he was also the son of Wu Jun, one of the five members of the Standing Committee! Who could have imagined that kind of identity contrast.
Fortunately, the two of them, Ru Ming, who had a grudge against Wu Qi very early, could be considered enemies and turned into friends. Otherwise, the background of the enemy who was once involved in life and death was one of the highest-ranking rulers in the Third Court. They expected that after Ming I couldn't sleep peacefully for a long time.
The way Renee looked at Wu Qi changed many times in a short period of time, and finally turned into a complex emotion that was a mixture of multiple emotions and even unspeakable. She vaguely felt that from now on, if she wanted to express her feelings to Wu Qi again, it would be ten times more difficult than last night.
"Why... ... "
While Renee sighed silently, Ruolin smiled and said a few words to Wu Qi by mistake, then looked at Adrienne and Renee and asked everyone to go to her tea room.
Respect is worse than obeying orders. After Adrienne and Renee bowed, they naturally followed Wu Qi into Ruolin's tea room.
The so-called tea room is an extremely spacious office and meeting room equipped with an unimaginably complete set of tea sets. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows can directly see the verdant spring-like open-air balcony outside, and the room is filled with various furniture and furnishings that add a bookish atmosphere.
As soon as Wu Qi looked up, he saw a piece of copper calligraphy hanging on the top of the wall behind the tea table. On the paper with a red background, there were four big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes - "Zai Shan Ruo Shui".
Both the signature and the seal are not from Wu Jun.
Wu Qi felt that Ye Chang was sarcastic for no reason. The man who was in the position of the Supreme Council, who used a cold and iron hand to stabilize the position of the Supreme Court in that world, and who even used his own son as a tool, actually had the title of "East Leg".
Yes, the freedom of the person who knows how to write the calligraphy can also reflect the character of the inscriber and whether he should carry the charm contained in the calligraphy.
Thinking of that, Wu Qi's eyes softened a little, because from that angle, he found that the four words "Zai Shan Ruo Shui" paired with Wu Jun's signature were not necessarily so dazzling.
Ruolin made four cups of hot tea and placed them on the four sides of the tea table, just in line with where the three of them were walking. She said softly: "Archie... why don't you call your son more affectionate? I haven't called him that way for a long time."
"Mom, I can call you whatever you like." Wu Qi also showed a reassuring smile. But what made him smile like that was that there were Ruorong and Ruolin in this world - the two women who raised him and gave birth to him.
"good."
Ruolin said with happiness in her eyes, then she turned her head and put away her doting eyes, looking at Adrienne and Renee calmly.
"Anna is at school, Major Renee, and his family Wu Qi is taking care of us, thank us."
Renee felt a little guilty, so she moved her legs and whispered "No, no". Adriana, on the other hand, was much calmer, nodded and said, "Isn't that an honor for Dong?"
