After being reborn in 70, she took back her huge family property and joined the army.

Everyone was feeling pity for Xu Lu at this time, and even if Xu Lu made any excessive request, they would agree to it, let alone such a small request mentioned casually.

After receiving the permission, Xu Luxiao's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his sickly and pale face looked much more lively.

Qin Xiaoran knew that Xu Lu would not ask like this for no reason. Now he either had something to say to her or was planning to do something. The former was more likely.

She agreed.

There was some relief on Huo Wei's sad face, and he patiently taught her how to push the wheelchair, how to cross the threshold, and what scenery to see in the yard, over and over again, in extremely detail.

Qin Xiaoran listened carefully, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a hint of impatience in Xu Lu's dark eyes, not towards her, but towards Huo Wei.

Qin Xiaoran just pretended not to see it, stepped forward to push Xu Lu's wheelchair, and slowly pushed Xu Lu out of the house and into the yard.

Huo Wei followed the two of them out of the house, his eyes fell on the two of them earnestly, and he warned them again.

"It's cold outside, don't stay too long."

Qin Xiaoran felt that Huo Wei seemed to care too much, but considering that Huo Wei was the mother of a paralyzed child, it was not incomprehensible for him to do so, so he nodded and agreed.

Xu Lu said: "Sister-in-law, let's go there quickly, I want to see the plum blossoms."

The voice was not as lively and sweet as before, and was a little more indifferent.

Qin Xiaoran nodded with Huo Wei and pushed Xu Lu towards the yard with plum blossoms at the back.

It wasn't until he passed a door that Qin Xiaoran felt the eyes that had been falling on him disappear, and he felt relieved.

Then she looked towards the backyard and looked at everything in the backyard.

There are four red plum trees planted in the backyard. They are blooming at this time. The shapes of the red plum trees have been specially repaired. They look very ancient and are like works of art in themselves. Now that the red plum blossoms are blooming, they are even more beautiful. .

She couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that the plum blossoms were pretty good.

But then she remembered the plum blossoms in the space. Those plum blossoms growing wildly in the space were also beautiful. The beauty lies in the vigorous vitality, thicker branches, more beautiful flowers, and more fragrant fragrance...

Thinking of this, when I looked at the plum blossoms in the yard, I felt that something was missing, not full of life.

Just as she was thinking, she heard Xu Lu speak.

At this time, Xu Lu's voice was not as sweet and sweet as when he was talking to other people. It still sounded nice, but it was a little more cunning and unpredictable.

"Sister-in-law, do you like these plum blossoms?"

"like."

"Lie! My sister-in-law obviously doesn't like it that much!"

Qin Xiaoran choked and said nothing.

Xu Lu wheeled his wheelchair and came to the plum blossoms. He raised his head and sniffed the blooming plum blossoms in front of him, with a little intoxication on his face.

The beautiful face and the fiery red plum blossoms shine together, coupled with the simple courtyard background, it looks as beautiful as a painting.

Qin Xiaoran watched quietly.

But this beautiful scene didn't last long. Xu Lu opened his eyes with dark eyes and neatly folded off the red plum branch with his left hand. His movements looked a bit fierce.

Then she handed the red plum to Qin Xiaoran, with a sweet smile on her face and a dark and cunning look in her eyes.

Qin Xiaoran didn't move, just looked at Xu Lu quietly.

Now everything is clear. Xu Lu's well-behaved appearance in front of others is all disguised. In essence, Xu Lu is not that weak and harmless. Xu Lu does not deliberately hide all this in front of her.

but why?

She just looked at Xu Lu, waiting for Xu Lu to give her an answer.

The two looked at each other, neither admitting defeat.

But people who have desires and goals will always give in first.

Xu Lu had some regret on his face, but there was no regret in his eyes.

"My sister-in-law doesn't like plum blossoms, and she doesn't like me either. It's a pity. I like my sister-in-law very much."

Qin Xiaoran wanted to say that since he had stopped pretending, why did he still talk so awkwardly.

Xu Lu seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and then answered her doubts.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I rarely meet someone as special as my sister-in-law, so I don't know how to get along with someone like my sister-in-law."

Qin Xiaoran glanced at her, "What's so special about someone like me?"

Xu Lu smiled. This smile came from the heart. It was not gentle and cute, but it was real enough.

"I like the way my sister-in-law looks at me. She is guarding me instead of pitying me, as if I am a strong person instead of a paralytic who needs care."

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoran felt a little surprised and a little uncomfortable.

Xu Lu smiled.

"Sister-in-law, there is no need to pity me. As my sister-in-law sees, I am not a good boy who deserves to be pitied. I don't have a good personality. I am just good at pretending. This is my way of survival."

Qin Xiaoran didn't know what to say and was silent for a moment before he came up with an answer.

"Why are you telling me this?"

They were just strangers meeting for the first time.

Xu Lu smiled.

"I don't know why I did this. Maybe I like my sister-in-law too much."

Maybe it was the first time I felt light and hope when I met Qin Xiaoran. Maybe it was because Qin Xiaoran didn't pity her as a weakling. Maybe it was because Qin Xiaoran was really too beautiful and too gentle.

She wanted to escape from everyone, but she only had the urge to get close to Qin Xiaoran.

Qin Xiaoran didn't know what he was feeling now, so he only looked up at the plum blossoms.

Xu Lu looked at Qin Xiaoran, and after a long time he also turned to look at the plum blossoms.

The weather today is pretty good, with sunshine and no wind, but after all, the temperature is there and it will still be a bit cold after staying outside for a long time.

Qin Xiaoran didn't feel cold, not because she was wearing thick clothes, but because her physique was already different from ordinary people.

But she knew that others were different from her, especially Xu Lu, who had been suffering from chronic illness. He was afraid that he would get sick if he stayed outside for a long time, so she looked at Xu Lu and suggested.

"Go back, it's too cold outside."

Xu Lu looked at her, his eyes a little cold.

"I don't want to go back. I'd rather be freezing outside than go back to that suffocating place."

Qin Xiaoran said nothing, and Xu Lu continued.

"I know what you were talking about before. My poor mother is still dreaming about finding a reliable person to take care of me for the rest of her life. How is this possible?"

"Even an able-bodied woman can't even think of finding someone to marry and be taken care of for her whole life. How can a cripple like me, who needs care and cannot have children, find one?"

"Those who want to curry favor with the Xu family will not treat me well. The elders of the Xu family are hypocritical, and the younger members of the Xu family are at odds with me and my mother. They will only humiliate me to please the Xu family; those who want to curry favor with the Huo family have better choices. s Choice……"

"People who come here for money will not be willing to take care of the little money I got. They will only want to squeeze out all the money to live a good life..."

There was another moment of silence.

Qin Xiaoran said after a long time, "You are very smart and sober, but you don't have a sound body."

"Yes, if I had a sound body, life would never be like this."

Xu Lu said this calmly, as if he had already accepted the reality, but a hint of unwillingness could be heard in his calmness.

Qin Xiaoran thought for a while and said, "You are very smart, which is much better than many healthy people. Don't be too pessimistic, you can change your life."

"Sister-in-law, stop talking. If you keep talking, I won't like you."

Xu Lu's voice was soft, but Qin Xiaoran could hear her unhappiness, so he said nothing more.

The two of them looked at the red plums in the yard wordlessly, and then waited until Huo Wei came to see them for dinner.
