The boat and the car were exhausting, and the two of us were hungry, so we got off the car and went straight to the restaurant, where we ordered a large table of dishes.

I burped, looking tiredly at the empty plates in front of me, feeling a little uncomfortable. Li Sha took a sip of tea unhurriedly, looked at me and asked, "Are you full?"

My little chicken Zhuomi nodded, and at this moment, the waiter served another dish, and I was about to speak, but the waiter pointed behind me and said, "That table was delivered by the official."

I turned my head and saw Liu Wuyan who I hadn't seen for a long time, she was smiling at me faintly. The next second, I thought of something, turned my head quickly, pulled up Li Sha and left. Since Liu Wuyan is here, Yingying is very likely to be here too. I am dressed in women's attire now, if she sees me, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome.

But after such a long time, Yingying may have already forgotten me. Now that I have arrived in Fuyang City, it is inevitable that I will meet her one day. If she can accept me like this, then I think I will cherish and thank this friend even more.

Under Lisha's puzzled eyes, I explained to him what happened when we stayed in Fuyang City to look for him after he left without saying goodbye. When I was halfway through speaking, Li Sha seemed to suddenly lose interest in listening. Seeing this, I ended the topic hastily, feeling a little aggrieved.

At this time, I heard Liu Wuyan calling me from behind, I turned my head, and she was walking towards me in a hurry. She seemed to be in a hurry to say something, but after walking in front of me, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and her expression became lost in thought. I followed her gaze and looked at Lisha, and asked suspiciously: "You know each other?" She came back to her senses, coughed lightly, and said to me: "It's a good thing you didn't leave, it was too late Said, since you are back, find time to visit Yingying, she will get married soon, she must really want to see you before she gets married."

I was surprised and pleasantly surprised when I heard the words, and quickly asked, "Which family is it?"

Liu Wuyan pondered for a moment, then replied softly: "The Liang family."

Although I haven't stayed in Fuyang for a long time, I still know about the Liang family. Liang's father is an official of the dynasty. His eldest son Liangjun fought countless battles and made many great achievements for Fuyang. Idle around all day, doing nothing.

But in my impression, the eldest son of the Liang family already has a wife, and if Yingying married, she might be wronged. But these two sons are prodigal sons, and Yingying will definitely not have a good life following him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking a question. Upon hearing the words, Liu Wuyan replied calmly, "It's Liang Yun."

"But I remember that Yingying hates idlers the most in her life. How could she fall in love with Liang Yun?"

Liu Wuyan looked at me casually and said, "Political marriage, there's nothing you like or dislike."

My head buzzed, thinking of Yingying's innocent smile, I felt extremely uncomfortable. She is the person who takes care of me the most in Fuyang City. I cannot accept and endure her such a miserable fate.

I know that she must not accept it herself.

I looked at Liu Wuyan's always indifferent expression, I couldn't control my emotions, and said angrily to her: "Aren't you worried and sad that Yingying will be forced to marry someone I don't like? Moreover, you, the elder sister, are not yet married, and she is still young, why did you marry her off so early?"

"Liang Yun likes Yingying, and it was he who came to propose marriage on purpose. The Liang family is powerful in the court, and Dad has long wanted to marry the Liang family. How could he refuse this marriage? Thinking on the bright side, in fact, this The second son of the Liang family doesn't have a wife yet, so she won't suffer if she marries her. Besides, will there be good results if she doesn't marry Liang Yun? The person she's waiting for is you."

"...I'll go see her when I'm settled down." I was silent for a moment, and finally I could only say this.

Liu Wuyan nodded slightly upon hearing the words, turned around and left.

After she left, I still stood there quietly, lost in thought. Suddenly, I turned my head to look at Lisha, and said with red eyes: "I have always dressed up as a man in Fuyang, I know Yingying likes me very much, but I never thought of explaining it to her, but accepting it with peace of mind. She is kind to me, do you think it's because of me that I delayed her?"

Whenever this happens, Lisha will always try to minimize my guilt, he understands the purpose of my words too well, and his comfort can always play a great role in me. For a few moments, I suddenly hoped that he would scold me. In this way, maybe I would be less dependent on him.

When I followed him to leave, I subconsciously raised my head and glanced at the second floor where Liu Wuyan was. I saw a figure in a black coat just leaving the window. I quickly lowered my head, but my heartbeat suddenly accelerated. .

After settling in, we found the Zhou family at the address given by Aunt Lianyi. The Zhou family regards my father as a benefactor. After learning of my father's death, they bought our house. Aunt Lianyi went to Fuyang to meet the Zhou family not long ago. They have been living there until now, protecting Every plant, tree, brick and tile in the house.

My aunt said that the Zhou family has a daughter who is about my age and named Zhou Qianyu. When we were very young, we often played together. I also saw that girl and aunt. She was very strange, but later my mother took me to Fuxin. After that major accident, I also forgot about her. .

When we came to Zhou's house, I saw that the plaque on the door was not old, but it was clearly engraved with the words "Fu Zhai". I think they should have changed the plaque, after all, more than ten years have passed , Many things cannot be kept.

Before we knocked on the door, the door opened with a creak, and the person who opened the door was a girl with delicate features. She seemed to be frightened when she saw us. He sized me up and Li Sha, put his hips on his hips and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Are you Zhou Qianyu?" I guessed.

"Who are you? You don't look like locals, how do you know my name?"

I looked at her face, and I couldn't find any trace of her in my memory, but I felt kind.

"My name is Fu Xizhi, do you remember me?"

After the words fell, I saw her take a deep breath, then screamed and ran inside.

Then, her parents came out in a hurry, and then, like a monkey, I was scrutinized several times by the three of them back and forth.

After the chaos stopped, Mrs. Zhou began to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, while Mr. Zhou comforted his wife, and asked us to sit inside with extremely loving eyes.

I stepped into that door, and there were all kinds of flowers and plants around the short corridor. When I walked to the lobby, the wooden tables and chairs were old but well preserved. Then, I saw a string of bells hanging on the window. , I couldn't help but walked over to open the window, the breeze blew in, and the bell began to make a pleasant sound. I looked at the potted plants outside the window, and suddenly a scene broke into my mind, half blurred and half clear, I hit myself on the head hard, and fragments of my childhood began to emerge in this familiar place.

At this time, someone grabbed my hand, I turned my head, and Lisha stared at me and asked, "Do you remember your childhood memories?"

I nodded, then added: "Very vague, I can't remember."

"Then don't think about it deliberately." He held my hand tightly and said softly.

I nodded at him upon hearing this.

"Xizhi." Mrs. Zhou came to my side at some point, looked at me kindly and said, "I'm tired from the journey, go back to your room and rest, I'll go prepare meals, what's the matter to wait for a rest, Let's talk slowly."

Zhou Qianyu walked briskly in front of us, she turned her head and asked me: "Do you still remember your own room? When I was young, I often slept with you in your room, and then you left, and I didn't change places, I think In this way, when you come back one day, you will also feel that the room is very popular. But I am afraid that you will not get used to it, mother has prepared two rooms next door." She said, she smiled at me, "If you want to be like a child Same, I welcome it."

I stood at the door of the room, looking at the decorations in the room. Lisha hadn't entered the room yet, so he looked at me sideways and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

I thought for a while, then shook my head at him. In fact, I can't say why, it's just that I'm a little discouraged.

Seeing this, he nudged me into the room, then closed the door and said softly: "Then I will accompany you." I naturally showed joy, he approached me lovingly patted my head, and smiled slightly.

When I woke up, it was already dark, and I saw two black figures standing motionless outside the door, surrounded by silence. I walked over to open the door, Lisha stood with his back to me, and the person standing opposite him was actually Lisu.

I was a little overwhelmed, just about to speak, but Lisu gave me a blank look, turned and left. I held on to the door and watched his leaving figure, after a moment of hesitation, I chased after him, looked at him bravely and said, "Li Su, can you forgive me?"

He stopped and said lightly: "I don't hate you." After speaking, he continued to walk forward.

"Then why did you leave when you saw me?" I stopped him and asked.

He heard the words and said bluntly: "Because, I hate you."

I froze in place.

Li Su is no longer the crying and fussy child she was back then.

"Xizhi, what are you doing here?" Qian Yu opened the door and looked at me suspiciously.

"No, it's okay." I felt a shock in my heart, and walked back to my room in silence, I closed the door, only to find Lisha sitting at the table in my room drinking a cup of hot tea.

I looked at the mist coming out of the teacup and asked, "Aren't you hot?"

Hearing this, he didn't speak, but took a sip of tea, I smiled weakly, sat across from him, and poured myself a cup.

"Li Sha, are you and Li Su really brothers? Why are your personalities so different."

"Is there?" he asked back.

I nodded, "You are very gentle and calm, but the current Lisu is so indifferent that it is difficult to approach."

"I'm not as calm as you imagined, and my gentleness is only for you." Li Sha said lightly, playing with the teacup in his hand.

"...do I not understand you that much?" I was a little helpless, thought for a while and said, "But I should be happy, because you only face me with your best side." After I finished speaking, I found my tone Some can't hide the loss, but I know it's just a secret that each knows well.
