For some reason, Shen Jiu was a little restless during this time. Sometimes when Cao An called him, he was in a daze, and he didn't hear clearly what Cao An was talking about.
Shen Jiu's eyelids sometimes beat, as if telling him that something is about to happen.
What the hell is it? Shen Jiu thought about it, but still didn't find the answer.
Shen Jiu's mood was extremely depressed.
He came home and walked into the room. The room was dark, without a trace of light. Without turning on the light, he walked to the bed and sat down.
It is getting colder, and the air in the house seems to be frozen.
Shen Jiu's gaze crossed the window and looked out. The sky is dark, as black as ink.
After a while, it rained outside the window. The rain hit the window and slowly fell along the edge of the window.
Shen Jiu was lying on the bed sideways, and he closed his eyes.
The night was dark and deep, and Shen Jiu tossed and slept extremely restlessly.
In a trance, he had a dream.
…
metropolis.
The phonograph was playing soft music, and Shen Jiu leaned lazily on the soft collapse. He narrowed his eyes and listened quietly.
Shen Jiu was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and the pale mist rose upward, brushing Shen Jiu's cheek.
At this moment, one of his men knocked on the door and came in and walked to the side of Shen Jiu with a respectful tone: "Master Jiu, someone gave you an umbrella and a movie ticket."
Shen Jiu still closed his eyes: "You put things down."
Then, Shen Jiu asked casually: "Who gave it to you?"
Shen Jiu thought, he didn't want to go out on such a cold day.
Men: "It was given by a girl named Ajiu."
The next second, the tea cup in Shen Jiu's hand fell to the ground, the cup rolled on the carpet a few times, and then stopped.
Shen Jiu straightened up immediately and walked to his men with an extremely urgent expression: "Where is that girl now?"
He didn't know why Shen Jiu reacted like this. He said, "Girl Ajiu has already left."
Shen Jiu motioned for his men to go down. He carefully took the umbrella and the movie ticket and sat on the soft couch.
Shen Jiu put the movie ticket on the table first, and then his eyes fell on the umbrella.
This oiled paper umbrella is elegant in color, with a light blue. Shen Jiu's gaze moved to the umbrella handle again, where there was a word.
Nine.
It was exactly the same as when I first saw it.
Shen Jiu sat there, he suddenly smiled.
Ajiu, you are finally back.
Shen Jiu squeezed the thin movie ticket and saw clearly the opening time of the drama, which was seven o'clock tomorrow evening.
He watched it over and over again, keeping the time in mind. Ah Jiu asked to watch the drama by himself, and he must not be late.
In the evening of the next day, Shen Jiu picked up his coat and walked out of the room, ready to go to the Guangming Theater.
Sitting in the car, Shen Jiu couldn't help thinking.
Haven't seen him for a long time, don't you know Ajiu can recognize himself
It's very cold, is Ah Jiu dressed warmly
When he meets Ah Jiu, what should he say in the first sentence
…
Everyone respected him for the Jiuye who was dignified. But before meeting his beloved girl, his mood also became uneasy.
Shen Jiu smiled because she was Ajiu.
The car stopped at the door of the Guangming Grand Theater, Shen Jiu got out of the car, and a cold wind blew over, bringing bursts of coolness.
In winter nights, the temperature gets lower and lower, and a slight breath can turn into a light mist.
The air is so cold, but Shen Jiu doesn't think so. Thinking of Ah Jiu waiting for him in the theater, Shen Jiu's heart couldn't help but float there.
He can't wait to see Ah Jiu.
Shen Jiu slowly walked into the theater. There were a lot of people in the theater, including snack vendors and people watching the drama. The cold weather did not reduce everyone's enthusiasm.
The scent of food was floating in the air, and people's conversation sounded in his ears. Shen Jiu walked forward without squinting his eyes.
Shen Jiu walked a quiet road and turned a bend, then he stopped in front of a gate.
There was his beloved girl on the other side of the door.
Shen Jiu took a deep breath, raised his hand, and pushed the door open.
Shen Jiu walked in, he raised his eyes and looked over the others, and he saw the thin girl at a glance.
The girl's black hair draped softly over her shoulders, revealing a section of white neck.
Shen Jiu knew that she was Ajiu.
Shen Jiu walked down the steps, level by level.
Obviously the mood is so urgent, but Shen Jiu's steps have slowed down. Facing Ajiu, he was always so cautious.
Finally, Shen Jiu stopped, and he walked to the girl's side and sat down slowly.
Shen Jiu looked at the girl and whispered, "Ajiu."
The girl turned around, her features are delicate, her slap-sized face was pale and almost transparent. She smiled lightly: "Master Shen."
A very shallow smile appeared in Shen Jiu's eyes, and he did not admit his mistake as expected.
Immediately, Shen Jiu frowned slightly, and he looked at Ah Jiu carefully. Ah Jiu's chin was pointed and his face was pale, and he looked so thin and thin.
Shen Jiuyi narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly: "You have lost weight."
Shen Jiu knew that A Jiu's family background was not simple, and he always thought that A Jiu was well protected for so many years.
But now it looked a little different from what he had imagined.
A Jiu smiled slightly: "Master Shen, you look better."
Ah Jiu felt that Shen Jiu looked very good-looking among the people she had met.
Seeing Ah Jiu so thin, Shen Jiu's heart was gripped there. Hearing A Jiu's words, his tense nerves suddenly became loose.
Ah Jiu is so cute.
Shen Jiu smiled on his eyebrows and asked, "Ajiu, why did you leave Shanghai back then?"
Shen Jiu had been looking for A Jiu back then, but he couldn't find A Jiu. Shen Jiu went to find it through all means, but Ajiu seemed to have disappeared without leaving any information.
Ajiu's eyes were half drooping: "Because of some accident, I went to other places."
Her hands were slightly clenched, but her face didn't show half of it.
Then, Shen Jiu asked a question that he cared most: "How are you doing so many years?"
Ah Jiu is so good, and Shen Jiu hopes that she can live happily in this life.
An unnoticeable pain flashed through Ah Jiu's eyes. Although it quickly dissipated, Shen Jiu was still caught quickly.
A trace of worry floated in Shen Jiu's heart. He wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything because he was afraid that it would cause Ah Jiu's sadness.
At this moment, Shen Jiu slightly lowered his head, his gaze swept across Ajiu's wrist, and there were faint scars on the snow-white wrist.
It is particularly eye-catching on fair skin.
Shen Jiu felt very distressed. After all these years, I don't know what Ajiu has experienced
A Jiu noticed Shen Jiu's gaze, and she pulled down the sleeves to cover the scars.
A Jiu looked up at Shen Jiu, and said softly: "Things are over, I'm doing well now."
She didn't want to worry Shen Jiu, changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Master Shen, how about you? How are you doing?"
Ajiu didn't say what she had experienced, so Shen Jiu naturally wouldn't ask.
Shen Jiu wanted to say that he had a bad life. Even if he became the nine masters whom everyone respected, but couldn't find her, he seemed to be missing a corner in his heart.
However, Shen Jiu just stared at Ah Jiu silently.
Shen Jiu said, "I listened to you back then, went to the Peace Hotel and found Lu Huai..."
Hearing Lu Huai's name, Ajiu raised his eyebrows lightly, "What then?"
Shen Jiu saw that Ah Jiu was interested, and continued: "Then, I became the leader of the Qinghui, and no one would bully me..."
"Ajiu, if anyone bullies you, tell me, I'll help you beat him."
…
There were noisy voices all around, but Shen Jiu looked at Ah Jiu, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
Shen Jiu felt that he had never been so happy as today.
Sitting next to her beloved girl, she listened carefully to her speech, and the smile on Shen Jiu's mouth grew thicker.
Shen Jiu spoke in detail, and Ajiu listened quietly, with a slight smile on her face, and she would ask a few words from time to time.
After a while, Shen Jiu asked, "Ajiu, where do you live now? Can I find you?"
After finally finding Ajiu, Shen Jiu didn't want to miss it anymore.
A Jiu was about to speak, when a gust of wind blew over, the already weak voice was even covered by the sound of the wind.
Shen Jiu didn't hear A Jiu's answer. He was very anxious, and was about to continue to ask. Suddenly, everything in front of him disappeared.
Including Ajiu.
Shen Jiu woke up quickly, he sat up, his brows faintly furrowed, and fine beads of sweat covered his forehead.
It turned out to be a dream.
He still didn't find Ajiu.
Shen Jiu's eyes were stained with a bit of pain, and he whispered.
Ajiu.
In the silent darkness, Shen Jiu's voice fell in the empty room, undetectable.
Time has passed so long, some things should have been forgotten long ago, but A Jiu's face was printed in Shen Jiu's mind.
He remembered her white face, her dark hair, and her shallow smile.
Shen Jiu has never forgotten the memories hidden deep in his heart.
Thinking back over and over again, it became clearer.
Shen Jiu thought, he will never forget Ajiu in this life.
There was a deep night outside the window, and the sound of pattering rain rang in my ears, making it more and more silent.
Shen Jiu frowned, why would he have such a dream? In the dream, Ajiu's face was pale, his figure was so thin, and he even had faint scars on his hands.
Everything in the dream is so real, isn't Ajiu having a bad life
Shen Jiu opened his eyes without any sleepiness.
I don't know how long it has passed before dawn.
Shen Jiu looked out the window, the sky was slightly white, and thin sunlight fell into the room.
Shen Jiu said softly again.
Ajiu, where are you
…
In Ye Mansion, Ye Chu already knew that Lu Huai had returned to Shanghai.
Lu Huai's men brought another news by the way.
The eldest lady of Baoshun Foreign Company will hold a banquet the day after tomorrow, and Ye Chu will definitely receive the invitation letter. If she doesn't want to go, don't refuse.
Because San Young wanted to see her at that party.
Ye Chu didn't think much, and immediately agreed.
Since Lu Huai had already asked her, he wanted to tell him something.
Lu Huai's news is indeed correct. The next day, Ye Chu received an invitation letter from Miss Baoshun Foreign Company. On Friday, she will hold a banquet at the New Town Hotel.
Ye Chu naturally accepted the invitation.
On Friday night, Ye Chu didn't want to be too ostentatious. She wore a simple dress and a thick coat, and went to the party of Miss Baoshun Foreign Trade.
After Uncle Li sent Ye Chu to the Xincheng Hotel, he agreed a time and left.
At this banquet, Ye Chu met Yan Manman and Yin Shiyan. The requested vacation was over, and Ye Chu returned to the school a few days ago to study.
Yan Manmanu opened his mouth: "I came out to the party after a few days of illness. I can't tell that you have such a playful temperament."
Yan Manman's light red dress is very good-looking, she akimbo, educate Ye Chu solemnly.
Although her tone is not very pleasant, she always hides her concern in her words.
Yin Shiyan looked concerned: "You have been in poor health recently. If you go home and rest more, your illness will heal faster."
The Ye family asked Ye Chu for sick leave, so they all thought she was sick.
Ye Chu smiled and didn't refute them: "The family can't come if there is something to do. I will show up this time and I will go back early."
Only then did the two girls relax. Now they are very hungry again. After confessing a few words with Ye Chu, they ran away to play elsewhere.
After Ye Chu was free, she glanced around. There were a lot of people at this banquet.
Some people held up their wine glasses and talked, some were eating snacks, and some were socializing, very familiar... However, Ye Chu was waiting for someone.
Ye Chu took a glass of juice and waited while drinking, silently looking at the door.
It was obvious that Lu Huai wanted to see her, but he hadn't appeared yet, and he didn't know when he would come.
Ye Chu waited patiently, and when she was almost finished drinking the glass of juice, she saw Lu Huai slowly walk in.
He came alone.
Ye Chu knows Lu Huai's temperament, he doesn't like to attract attention, so he waited until everyone had their own activities and no one paid attention to the door before he came here.
As soon as Lu Huai came in, he looked around, looking for Ye Chu's figure, his gaze fell on her.
Ye Chu had been paying attention to Lu Huai, their eyes met, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Huai looked at Ye Chu steadily, his eyes fixed for a moment.
As if saying two words.
come over.
Ye Chu knew that Lu Huai wanted to talk to him, and did not stay too much. She put down the cup and walked towards him.
Ye Chu arrived in front of Lu Huai, glanced at him, and said, "San Shao."
Lu Huai nodded. He didn't speak, turned around, and walked to a quiet corner in the corridor. Without thinking about it, Ye Chu quickly followed.
There are many people in the party, everyone is busy with their own affairs, no one will pay attention to it.
The two walked through the corridor, the lights were faint and indistinguishable. At the end of the corridor, there was a window over there, and moonlight poured in from outside.
It was extremely quiet all around, Lu Huai leaned against the wall, looking at Ye Chu, the moonlight shining her face paler, her eyes bright but with a cold temperament.
He stood there and looked at her carefully.
This was also the first time they met after Lu Huai returned to Shanghai.
Lu Huai didn't speak, Ye Chu could only speak actively.
Ye Chu asked: "Three young masters are looking for something to do with me?"
Lu Huai did not hesitate: "Yeah."
Although Lu Huai answered, he didn't say what was going on.
Ye Chu could only repeat the words of his men: "Your men said, you want to meet me."
She didn't understand why Lu Huai didn't speak. It was he who wanted to come over by himself, but every time he talked to him by himself.
Hearing this, Lu Huai smiled suddenly.
He took out something from his pocket, and immediately afterwards, a key was already clamped between his slender fingers.
Lu Huai handed the key to Ye Chu, but she subconsciously received it without thinking about it.
Ye Chu puzzled: "Why give me a key?"
Lu Huai called her name: "Ye Chu."
Ye Chu asked: "What's wrong?"
Lu Huai leaned down slightly and looked at Ye Chu's eyes. Although the two were close, he didn't feel that oppressive feeling on him.
Ye Chu was stunned, and the distance between the two suddenly shortened. After his breath was close, her heart seemed to be beating a little faster.
Ye Chu settled down and looked at Lu Huai earnestly. The chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down, and she waited patiently for his words.
Lu Huai said lightly, "I have left some things in the car, can you help me get it?"
Ye Chu looked at Lu Huai, and he knew why he had just come in from outside, so now he wants to get something for him.
But she knew that as long as Lu Huai said something like this, there must be a reason for him.
Ye Chu only asked the key question: "What is it?"
The corner of Lu Huai's mouth was slightly pulled: "There is a box in the car, and the things I want are placed in the box. You will understand when you see it."
Lu Huai has such a good memory, so he has never forgotten anything. What's more, important things have already been stored, how can they be brought here.
This was just a game he set for Ye Chu.
There are some secrets in that box that need to be revealed by Ye Chu himself, so naturally he will not let others do it.
Ye Chu thought for a while and said, "Okay."
Seeing that Ye Chu was about to turn around and leave, Lu Huai stopped her again: "Wait."
Ye Chu stopped and looked at Lu Huai. I saw that he was holding another small key in his hand, and he didn't know what he was selling.
Lu Huai's hand dropped gently and placed the small key in Ye Chu's palm.
Ye Chu's hands were warm, and she noticed that the temperature in his hands was cold, perhaps because he had just entered from the outside.
Ye Chu raised his eyes and looked at Lu Huai, his face was as usual, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Lu Huai confessed: "The box is locked. You need to use this key to open it."
For the sake of confidentiality, Lu Huai certainly kept a hand.
Ye Chu: "Okay, I'll be back soon."
Lu Huai seemed to have something else with her. If he wanted to get something, he would lose some time, and Ye Chu decided to come back as soon as possible.
Lu Huai's tone was light: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
His expression was relaxed, and his low voice was calm, and he didn't sound anxious.
Ye Chu closed his palms, held the two keys tightly, and turned away. She walked through the corridor and into the hustle and bustle of the banquet.
Lu Huai silently looked at Ye Chu's back, his eyes were unclear, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Little liar, got the bait.
…
Ye Chu arrived at the banquet hall and walked toward the door intently.
When she walked out of the Metro Hotel, a cold wind blew over.
Ye Chu glanced around and noticed that Lu Huai's car had stopped at the opposite intersection.
Although she didn't know what Lu Huai was going to do, she knew that as long as she found the box in his car, she would discover the truth.
Ye Chu went straight to Lu Huai's car. In the dark night, the black car parked there, illuminated by the light of the street lamp.
Ye Chu took out the key and opened the car door easily.
Opening the car door, Ye Chu got into the car, she thought for a second, and immediately closed the car door.
The place where the box was placed was very conspicuous, and she found it at a casual glance, as if he had placed it there deliberately so that she could see it quickly.
Ye Chu took the wooden box in his hand. The appearance of the box looked very ordinary, and there was nothing special about it.
Ye Chu gently twisted with the small key and quickly opened the wooden box. With a click, the lid opened and the inside of the box was exposed.
She was stunned.
Lu Huai clearly asked Ye Chu to pick up something for him, and there was no "thing" Lu Huai said in the box.
There was only a piece of white paper and a pen, but the piece of white paper was not empty. It had a series of Morse codes written on it.
After Ye Chuluo thought about it, he felt that the reason why Lu Huai left a pen for her was because he wanted her to reply below.
Ye Chu instantly understood Lu Huai's intentions, he had already guessed it, and now he wanted her to proactively expose her identity.
Well, anyway, she was also going to talk to him with an opportunity.
She smiled faintly, then just look at what Lu Huai was asking.
Ye Chu took out the white paper in the box and looked at it.
After reading the meaning of this word, Ye Chu was startled.
Because that string of Morse code means.
Little liar.
The author has something to say: This is a flirting temptation.
For sensitive reasons, the Youth Association was changed to the Qing Association, and the Hongmen was changed to the Hongmen. Both of these have nothing to do with history.
