The Lover’s Prattle

Chapter 76: Zuo Shengyan (Special episode 2)

Views:

When Zuo Shengyan saw Qing Ruo, Qing Ruo was standing beside the hospital bed, lowering her head and talking to her cousin who was lying on the bed, holding a freshly baked bun in her hand. Hold his back and butt.

It is the same as the appearance in the vague memory, but completely different.

She was wearing a men's striped suit with a white shirt inside, one button unbuttoned at the collar, and no tie. The thin short hair is casual and unrestrained.

Exquisite and irrelevant, because of the boldness at the corners of the eyes and the brows, it exudes a masculine demeanor.

The striped suit makes the body line straight and beautiful.

Looking at the cousin's gentle appearance, like the pampering and love of an older brother, he patted Xiao Baozi's back lightly with his palm, coaxing him to sleep peacefully.

Qing Ruo's cousin-in-law was standing behind him, and the expression on his face was a bit awkward like that of a big man, that kind of depressed feeling that he didn't dare to go forward and seemed to be suppressed even his aura.

The door of the ward was open, and Zuo Shengyan could easily see the scene in the ward in the corridor.

He had longed for that person for more than seven hundred days and nights, but now that he was right in front of him, he dared not go forward.

Zuo Shengyan stopped, followed by Cheng Jin and Liu Cheng, who were holding presents for Cousin Qingruo, which were quite heavy, and their hands were full.

The two looked at each other, looking at Zuo Shengyan's firm and silent back but didn't know how to speak.

Zuo Shengyan pursed his lips, turned around and strode away the moment she raised her head.

He turned around and bumped into Cheng Jin who was behind him. Cheng Jin let go of his hand, and the bag in his left hand fell to the ground with a clatter, instantly occupying all the sounds in the quiet hospital corridor.

Qing Ruo looked up.

Cool and calm without waves.

Cheng Jin and Liu Cheng have been curious about this Miss Xu for a long time. The military department has set up an intelligence network to collect her whereabouts in the past two years, but they couldn't find a trace.

Something fell, and instead of squatting down to pick it up, the two looked up.

The two men were taken aback for a moment, they never expected to see a woman who was not delicate but her demeanor was not inferior to that of a man.

Qingruo glanced at them, her calm eyes didn't even look at Zuo Shengyan's back, she just lowered her head and continued to comfort the child in her arms.

Qingruo's assistant was waiting in the rest room outside. Qingruo followed behind Qingruo when she came out of the ward. The young man who was about 1.9 meters tall had an extraordinary handsome appearance, and was dressed in gentle and elegant clothes, but his walking and standing postures were all revealing. Practice the temperament of the family.

Zuo Shengyan was waiting at the entrance of the hospital. He changed from his military uniform to a dark suit. His eyes were tough and sharp. Standing at the door with his hands behind his back, he looked like a majestic mountain.

Qing Ruo came out of the hospital with his assistant. Qing Ruo was a head faster than the assistant behind him, with a faint smile on the corner of his eyes and mouth. When the two walked out like this, Qing Ruo's aura overwhelmed the handsome assistant behind him. Yes, even Zuo Shengyan on the opposite side wanted to avoid his edge.

Cheng Jin and Liu Cheng sat in the car and waited not far away. Seeing this posture, the corners of their mouths twitched. Liu Cheng clicked his tongue, and couldn't tell if it was a strange or vigorous tone, "That's not the case in the portrait. , the portrait is clearly an orchid, this is a real person-eating flower."

When they looked at each other outside the corridor of the ward just now, the eyes were clear and peaceful, without any suppressed emotions, but the two men who had experienced countless lives and deaths on the battlefield felt a little suffocating.

Zuo Shengyan was standing at the door, his breath was cold and his whole body was filled with a strong sense of bloody killing, the assistant behind Qing Ruo glanced at him several times, his body was already in a tense state of alert.

Qing Ruo stared straight ahead, neither looking at him nor avoiding him deliberately, took two steps to the side with her assistant.

The two passed each other.

Zuo Shengyan was so slight that he could hardly speak, "Qingruo."

The assistant heard this, and frowned slightly, seeing that Qing Ruo's footsteps in front of him didn't intend to stop at all, so he didn't speak.

The driver brought by Qing Ruo saw the two of them coming out and drove over from one side, and the car stopped behind Cheng Jin's car. The assistant stepped forward quickly, and opened the rear door when Qing Ruo reached the car.

Zuo Shengyan squeezed his fists, turned around and saw the picture of her about to walk to the side of the car, his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he ran over with big strides.

Qing Ruo stepped onto the car with one foot, Zuo Shengyan ran over and reached out to pull her arm. The assistant who had been paying attention to him was blocking the car door, and without thinking, he reached out to block Zuo Shengyan's outstretched hand.

One hand was missing, Zuo Shengyan then stretched out the other hand. He was blocked by the assistant.

Qing Ruo didn't seem to notice the situation behind her at all, and got into the car steadily.

"Qingruo! Xu Qingruo!" Zuo Shengyan stood beside the car, bared his teeth and cracked his eyes, his voice burst out from his chest.

When he just ran over, Cheng Jin and Liu Cheng had already got out of the car quickly. The two cars stopped one after the other.

Zuo Shengyan didn't care about the two hands that were grabbed by his assistant, and stared at her intently.

Qing Ruo slightly pursed her lips and turned her head. The curve of her mouth was the same as before, but it was neither gentle nor gentle, almost cold and sarcasm, but she spoke in a soft tone, "General Zuo, what's the matter?"

Zuo Shengyan's brain was pierced with countless dense needles, which made his whole brain hurt so much that he was unconscious. He was looking forward to the return of more than 700 people day and night, but why did she become That's it.

"Do you know how long I've been looking for you? Why do you do this?" Zuo Shengyan stood by the car, his hands still held by the assistant, who blocked the door with his whole body, and Zuo Shengyan and Zuo Shengyan were almost chest-to-chest, two Everyone has a strong body, and now their muscles are tense and may explode at any time.

Qingruo's eyes were light and frivolous, looking at his bloodshot eyes, she smiled and shook her head, her broken hair fluctuated slightly due to the movement of shaking her head, and the tip of the hair touched the end of her handsome eyebrows, spreading a strand of hair A seductive but fearful charm that transcends gender.

"Xiao An, let's go."

Qingruo opened her thin lips lightly and spoke, her voice was not annoyed, but she didn't speak to Zuo Shengyan.

"Yes, sister Ruo." The tall and strong assistant at the door responded respectfully, with one arm on his arm, he pushed Zuo Shengyan away from the door, closed the rear door, turned around and opened the passenger seat.

Where Zuo Shengyan could let people go, he opened the door of the back seat and stepped on it.

Qing Ruo tilted her head slightly, and asked him with a light smile, "Do you want to make it so ugly?"

In her eyes, there is a world that Zuo Shengyan can't understand. The familiar smile is completely indifferent and strange, as if she is patient and friendly enough to a child who is unreasonable but strange, just because of her Well-bred, but has nothing to do with liking.

Zuo Shengyan's heart ached and hesitant, he opened his mouth but didn't say a word, stepped on the car and retracted his feet, the palm of the hand holding the door handle was swollen, but he closed the door gently.

The black car started, and the wind it carried lifted the corner of Zuo Shengyan's clothes.

Zuo Shengyan turned around, calmed down suddenly, looked at Cheng Jin and Liu Cheng who were dazed and confused, and asked, "Did I fail in particular?"

"No..." How could it be a special failure? According to the current level of victory in the battle, the Japanese army's aggression will not really start in an all-round way before it will be disintegrated, and Zuo Shengyan's role in the war layout in the past two years can be Saying is crucial.

But it doesn't fail, looking at the relationship between Zuo Shengyan and Qing Ruo just now, it is obvious that Zuo Shengyan is not overwhelmed at all.

Even if there was hatred in Qingruo's gaze, Zuo Shengyan would not be so sad.

It's like, she is a bird in the sky, occasionally staying on your window sill, you think there will be a future, but in fact, when she spreads her wings, your window sill will no longer even become the scenery in her eyes.

Her gaze is the sky.

Zuo Shengyan still went to the ward, Liu Cheng and Cheng Jin were carrying the gift, the cousin had already fallen asleep, and the child was taken care of by the nurse, only the cousin-in-law was sitting on the sofa and looking out the window in a daze, because his arrival, the cousin The brother-in-law was surprised and delighted, before Zuo Shengyan could speak, the cousin who was not sleeping soundly was woken up by the cousin's husband.

Zuo Shengyan had no choice but to stand at the door in embarrassment and apologize first.

"No, no, General Zuo, please sit down." The cousin-in-law warmly welcomed Zuo Shengyan in.

Zuo Shengyan signaled Liu Cheng and Cheng Jin to put down their things, "Be careful and take good care of your body."

He is not very good at saying polite scenes, and the two sentences are dry.

The cousin's husband was overjoyed, and the cousin also smiled and beckoned him to sit down.

"Don't know General Zuo?"

Zuo Shengyan nodded to his cousin, and took a deep breath, "I want to pursue Qingruo, first come over to say hello to her family, and I hope you will allow me."

Speaking of Qingruo, the cousin-in-law, who was originally full of enthusiasm, could only laugh dryly, not knowing how to answer this question.

On the contrary, the cousin laughed, and beckoned to her cousin-in-law to help her sit up and lean back, "To be honest with General Zuo, Qingruo, we really can't control it at home."

My cousin said this with a smile, full of tender family affection, not derogatory and complaining, but a kind of proud publicity.

Zuo Shengyan nodded, "I know, she must nod herself."

The cousin sized him up a few times, and she was quite satisfied, not to mention that Zuo Shengyan had become famous in the past two years, and the common people would give a thumbs up to anyone who said it, and the prestige of the people was very high.

"It's convenient to ask how General Zuo met Qing Ruo? Qing Ruo seldom came back here when he started business two years ago."

Zuo Shengyan pursed his lips, swallowed, and said dryly, "It's love at first sight."

Before the cousin frowned, Zuo Shengyan added, "She is the only one who will not marry in this life. I swear." While speaking, he raised his palm to his ear in the gesture of swearing.

The cousin was a little scared, "Hehe, General Zuo doesn't need to use it~"

"Yeah." Zuo Shengyan nodded seriously, "Take care of your body first, now that the situation is unstable, I won't say anything more, and I'll visit you later to explain everything."

"..." The cousin was a little confused.

Not to mention Cheng Jin and Liu Cheng behind him.

Zuo Shengyan got up to say goodbye, walked to the door, turned around and bowed directly to her cousin, "Please tell Qing Ruo for me, wait for me one more time, she will kill me in the future."

"..." Cousin's heart has already begun to flash the word "fucking" on the screen. This General Zuo must have a brain problem. He is in the hospital now. Go to the doctor to see it. This is scary.

Later, General Zuo, who won the battle and became a national hero, was praised by the people.

General Zuo did not give up any inch of China's territory, and took back Hong Kong and Macau with ferocious means. Although Hong Kong and Macau businessmen returned to the mainland for control, the country gave good care and conditions, and everyone was happy to return to the motherland.

The fly in the ointment is that General Zuo really has a problem with his brain. He chases after a group of women, insisting on sticking to one or the other, and even taking his son along to make him act cute and coquettish.

When it comes to the victory of the war, when it comes to Zuo Shengyan, each voice is louder than the other, but as soon as the question comes to family or husband and wife, no one mentions the word Zuo Shengyan.

During the holidays, Zuo Shengyan took Zuo You to run directly to his cousin, and he was more active than anyone else. Anyway, he asked people to prepare things, and he could do everything his cousin said seriously.

Cousin only needs to add the three words "Qing Ruo Shuo", it is completely in the form of an imperial decree being carried out.

Except for one sentence, "Go away."

This was the word that Qing Ruo said to Zuo Shengyan the most, but after four years of saying it, he listened to everything else, so this sentence was useless.

Cousin has now united front with Zuo Shengyan and Zuoyou, she no longer thinks that Zuo Shengyan has a brain problem, but Qing Ruo has a brain problem, and she doesn't know what to do with such a peerless good man. She is not young anymore, it is time to get married, if Qing is not in a hurry, her cousin is in a hurry.

Early on, Zuo Shengyan and Zuo Shengyan discussed and discussed all the preparatory work for the wedding. Now there is only one bride missing. As long as Qing Ruo nods, the cousin will send the invitation, and it will take a week. The perfect wedding of the century.

My cousin now only dreams of the scene of Qingruo and Zuo Shengyan getting married every night, and she can wake up with a smile while standing aside to greet the guests, but after waking up from the smile, she still can only grit her teeth and scold Qingruo for being a fool.

Dragon Boat Festival.

Qing Ruo was ordered to come back home by her cousin to die on the grounds that she wanted a family reunion to commemorate the great Qu Yuan during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Anyway, all festivals require a family reunion, not only on weekends during festivals, but also on good days. In short, my cousin now has countless reasons to reunite every day.

The final result of the reunion was that the cousin took everyone away, leaving only Zuo Shengyan and Qingruo in the family.

Zuo Shengyan never wore a military uniform when he came to his cousin's house, otherwise it was a suit or dark casual clothes.

Over the past few years, his originally sharp face and eyes have softened a lot, but Qing Ruo is getting more and more unhappy now, especially when facing him, he has always looked impatient.

Unless necessary, Zuo Shengyan stayed quietly by the side, and didn't talk to her to make her unhappy.

Qingruo was lying sideways on the sofa and reading the newspaper. It was almost the end of autumn, it was not hot at noon, it was probably going to rain, and the wind was blowing in through the window, and the air in the room felt a bit cold.

The cousin took people to the nearby yard, only Qing Ruo and Zuo Shengyan were left in the room, it was impossible to hand over the kitchen to Qing Ruo now, Zuo Shengyan had practiced a good cooking skill in the past few years.

After finishing preparing the ingredients for the evening, Zuo Shengyan came out of the kitchen and put his sleeves off his arms.

The living room window was open, and the curtains flew wildly when the wind blew.

Zuo Shengyan glanced at the person lying on the sofa lazily reading the newspaper, with helpless pampering and pampering in his eyes, he walked over and closed the window.

Looking at the sky, it was probably going to rain, so she walked to the sofa and took Xiaobo, which was opened and covered her stomach.

Qingruo lazily raised her head and glanced at him.

She was pressured by her cousin to eat a lot just now, and she is in a state of being lazy after eating too much.

Zuo Shengyan has become more and more aware of her uncontrollable natural state, and gently brushed the hair on her forehead with his fingers.

Her hair has grown a lot. It was short and broken before. Zuo Shengyan sat down beside her and asked her softly, "Do you want to cut your hair?"

If Qing ignored him, he would not open his mouth, he took a newspaper and opened it beside him.

After a while, Qing Ruo, who was leaning lazily, read a newspaper and rolled it up and tapped his leg, then pointed to the water glass on the table.

Zuo Shengyan understood, put down the newspaper, stood up and took her water glass to pour water for her, the temperature of the water was just right, put it in her hand, Qing Ruo tried the temperature of the water, took a few sips and handed it back.

Zuo Shengyan took the cup and put it back on the table. After she finished reading the newspaper, she was lazily leaning on the sofa with her legs curled up, looking bored.

"If you want to sleep for a while, I'll play chess with you."

Qing Ruo turned her head and thought for a while, "Let's play chess."

The two of them had also played chess before. In his illusory yet real dream, Qingruo's chess skill was not bad, but definitely not better than him.

Unlike now, Qingruo can abuse him casually. In order to play for a while, she will force herself to give way to him, and her words are too casual, "Why are you so stupid."

Zuo Shengyan dare not say how good his chess skills are, but at least, few people in the military can beat him. Already used to being beaten by Qing Ruo, she always smiled softly, "Let me go, let's play for a while."

The two were playing chess, and it was raining outside, and the sound of the rain hitting the glass was very pleasant. She hummed a song softly, a song that Zuo Shengyan had never heard before, and the tune was very comfortable.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Zuo Shengyan chatted with her, "Qing Ruo, when are you going back?"

Qing Ruo raised her head and glanced at him, her words were plain and simple, "I'll wait until you die."

At these words, Zuo Shengyan shook his head and smiled, "Were you bored with me before?"

"got used to."

After being silent for a while, Zuo Shengyan made a move, and without leaving the chessboard, he opened his palm on a pile of chess pieces, "Qingruo, walk with me for a while longer."

Qing Ruo looked at him with a smile, "I've been with him all my life."

Zuo Shengyan laughed, "I'm greedy, indulge me one more time."

"Do you want to pretend too?"

Unable to answer such a question, Zuo Shengyan sighed, looking at her lovingly, distressed, lost, and many emotions mixed together.

It is full of intrusion into his deep eyes, making people feel sad when looking at it.

The hand is unwilling to take it away, and it is still stubbornly placed on the chessboard with the palm facing up.

Qing Ruo shrugged, put the chess pieces back into the chess box, sat up, put on her shoes and stood up.

Zuo Shengyan didn't want to see her leave again, so he lowered his head and looked at his palm.

Her hands appeared in his sight, white and tender, and Yingying couldn't hold them, but Zuo Shengyan knew that such delicate hands had the power to resist time.

Qingruo touched his palm, and his palm was hotter than the temperature of her hand.

Without any hesitation, Zuo Shengyan took her hand backhand and held it tightly.

Looking up she smiled brightly. Looking up, tears kept rolling down.

Qingruo's crooked eyebrows were the look he was most familiar with, and the other hand wiped his tears, and his words were not serious, "I've lived two lifetimes, why are you still acting like a child."

Zuo Shengyan didn't know whether he was wronged or happy, anyway, his heart was sour, and he couldn't say anything, just watched her keep crying.

Qing Ruo turned around and took out a piece of paper to wipe away his tears little by little, and gave him a hand with clasped palms, "Let's go, go and tell my cousin that you can start working on the wedding."

Zuo Shengyan stood up abruptly, nodded heavily, "Okay."

**

It turns out that long ago,

Can wait until this day.
