[Devil Lover] Water Lotus

Chapter 5

After dinner, Shen Yuelan unexpectedly met Ni Juanxiu in the corridor. This handsome man who had always given her a silent impression was leaning against the window and looking at her. Outside the window was a crescent moon. The blue eyes are full of blur.

After the initial surprise, Shen Yuelan instinctively put on her gentle smile:

"Master Xiu."

She said softly, and the other party took off one earphone, looked at her, and said in a loose voice:

"You seem very dissatisfied with Zuoren."

"Oh?"

Shen Yuelan raised her eyebrows:

"Is Young Master Xiu complaining for my younger brother?"

Although the stay time was not too long, she didn't see that there was really a deep brotherhood among these brothers. She always felt that the brotherhood between them was inexplicably inconsistent.

Sure enough, Ni Juanxiu just sighed lightly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his beautiful blue eyes:

"That kind of thing is troublesome."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and his expression became a little serious:

"What is the task assigned to you by the church? Surveillance? Or obliteration?"

He asked, and then seemed to think of something, and said as a matter of course:

"Well, it must not be a good thing, right? Replace Yui Komori, and when our brothers are almost dependent on her blood... Hey, is that man's conspiracy again? That man, let you come again what to do?"

As he spoke, he approached Shen Yuelan, looked at the woman's pretty face, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and raised her chin:

"It's really good-looking. It's indeed much more beautiful than the brides in the past...The figure is also good...Tsk tsk, hey, did you fall in love with us, so you played the old trick of indulging? With such a beautiful appearance, it's no wonder that Zuo Ren Those bullied by you are powerless to fight back, the legendary... femme fatale?"

While talking to himself, Ni Juanxiu leaned close to Shen Yuelan's neck and smelled it for a while, but he smelled the fragrance of orchids emanating from her carefully combed hair. He was startled and a little dazed.

And Shen Yuelan, who had been silent all this time, pushed him away, two steps away from him, and said:

"From the very beginning, Master Xiu has always been talking to himself. I don't understand the conspiracy theories Master Xiu said. Speaking of which, I'm also very surprised what the church asked me to do here, so I'm sorry. I can't answer Master Xiu's question."

She spoke unhurriedly, then looked at the expressionless Ni Juanxiu, bowed her body, and continued walking towards the room.

Ni Juanxiu grabbed her hand, and pulled Shen Yuelan into his arms with a strong force. The girl felt that she had bumped into a big piece of ice. Thinking about it, the unique deep but ethereal voice of Ni Juanxiu came from above his head:

"Shen... Yuelan... Hey, don't do stupid things, don't try to provoke anyone here."

After saying this, Ni Juanxiu let her go, looked at Shen Yuelan again, and suddenly smiled like a god:

"Really, a beautiful face..."

"...Master Xiu's face is also very charming."

Shen Yuelan calmed down before speaking.

"Let's go back."

Reverse scroll repair finally let go.

"it is good."

Shen Yuelan nodded and said yes, and started to walk a little anxiously. After walking a few steps, she was stopped by the reverse volume Xiu:

"We have to go to night school every night except on weekends. There is a phone in the study on the first floor, and the housekeeper will take you there."

Shen Yuelan stopped in her tracks, then turned her head, but was surprised to find that there was no figure of Neijuanxiu in the corridor. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what Neijuanxiu meant.

Was it for her to call the church?

She laughed.

Nijuanxiu, although superficially lazy and sleepy, seems to be secretly protecting Nijuanzhai.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to test her when no one was around.

Shen Yuelan returned to the room, but suddenly heard a strange voice:

"Ah! You're finally back, Yuelan...chan? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Shen Yuelan closed the door and took a closer look, only to find that Reverse Scroll was sitting by the bed and looking at her with a teasing smile on his face.

"Huh? Could it be that Master Liren has reflected on himself and is finally willing to call me by my name?"

Shen Yuelan covered up the turmoil in her heart with a calm surface, and her smile was still very gentle.

"Ah, I always feel that being called a little bitch is too much for Yuelan sauce! Such a beautiful face, it's a pity to be called a little bitch, oh of course, the premise is that Yuelan sauce is really not a bitch people."

Reversing the ceremony seems to be explaining the reason for changing his name very seriously, but what he said is not very pleasant.

But Shen Yuelan is a real lady, even if she is unhappy in her heart, she can still maintain a gentle smile, so she said softly:

"Thank you, Master Liren, for thinking of me."

She went to a chair facing the host and sat down, with her right arm resting on the armrest, her black skirt spread out to cover her legs, only a pair of red embroidered shoes were exposed, coupled with her somewhat melancholy expression, at that moment , like a painting

At least in the eyes of those who are full of aesthetics, this is an amazing painting.

So he praised without hesitation:

"What a beauty, Yuelan sauce."

He suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Hey, Yuelan sauce, do you want to know the secret of the Reverse Scroll family?"

He opened his eyes, his green peach eyes were stained with excitement:

"Those secrets hidden deep in the dark, unspeakable secrets, secrets that make people involuntarily excited and excited, do Yue Lan sauce want to know?"

Although his voice was melodious, it carried a bit of drama, and in Shen Yuelan's eyes, there was a hint of exaggeration.

"It's disappointing, but I have to say, I don't want to know."

Shen Yuelan said softly:

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, but I don't feel that as an outsider, I need to understand."

Shen Yuelan smiled softly, like the moon in the water.

"Heh... an outsider?"

As if he had heard some joke, the person who reversed the scroll laughed, and finally said:

"Then, wouldn't it be all right to just turn you into a wife?"

"Speaking of which, my wife is my wife, but Yuelan Sauce doesn't seem to be a candidate for a bride...it's a bit nerve-wracking..."

Reverse Juanli seemed to be in some trouble, and Shen Yuelan felt a little strange in her heart when she watched him act and talk to herself with the nana that she couldn't understand at all.

"Well...it's rare for someone as fun as Yuelan sauce to appear, I don't want to spoil you all at once...The future is long, Yuelan sauce."

The man who reversed the scroll seemed to have suddenly figured out something, and his face was a little excited. He stood up, said goodbye to Shen Yuelan, and then suddenly pulled Shen Yuelan's left hand, leaving a kiss on the back of the hand:

"Good night, Your Royal Highness."

There was tenderness in Taohua's eyes, and Shen Yuelan's response was to gently withdraw her hand, and Gujing said calmly:

"It's easy to be exposed if you overact, Master Liren. Good night."

The reverse-rolling ceremony person was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly:

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Tears almost came out of laughter, he finally stopped laughing, blushing:

"Yuelan sauce... I'm looking forward to the days ahead... So, good night."

The world was finally quiet, and Shen Yuelan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of the door closing.

She is not without doubts about everything about the Nijuan Mansion: the mansion where there is almost no one to see during the day, but at night it seems to be suddenly brightly lit, the cold touch when Niu Juanxiu grabbed her hand, and the smile of Ni Juan Li. The fangs that were inadvertently exposed when the time came.

She suddenly felt that she had broken some secret, or in other words, this was the secret that the person who reversed the scroll or everyone wanted her to see.Perhaps this can explain why Yui Komori wanted to leave so urgently.

It's just that she, Shen Yuelan, still doesn't want to face up to this problem, she still wants to call the church in person.

Before that, she didn't want to go anywhere.

Thinking of this, she took a bath with complicated emotions, then lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in her wild thoughts.

In the dream, she seemed to see her young self, wearing a pink dress, being hugged by her mother, looking at the back of a man who turned and left, and her mother's suppressed crying came from above her head, falling from nowhere. The water drops fell on her neck, freezing her heart.

As soon as the picture changed, she was surrounded by a group of children, they laughed at her and laughed at her pity:

"You don't have a father, you are a bad boy!"

"Yeah! Your father doesn't want you anymore! Because you are a bad boy!"

"That's right!"

"Yup!"

She didn't cry, she didn't know why, she just clenched her fists, rushed forward and wrestled with the group of children.

Then, the parents of the group of children reported her to the teacher, and the teacher came to her grandpa's house where she was staying, hoping that she would admit her mistake.

"I am not wrong."

She looked into the teacher's eyes, her voice didn't tremble in the slightest.

"It's their fault. I have a dad."

"..."

She didn't know what was wrong with what she said. She only knew that the teacher's eyes suddenly changed, which made her unable to understand, and then the teacher never mentioned anything for her to apologize.

After the teacher left, grandpa walked up to her, looked at her complicatedly, then sighed deeply, and said to her:

"From tomorrow onwards, your surname will be Shen. You are the jewel in the palm of our Shen family. No one can bully you anymore."

From then on, her name was Shen Yuelan, and no one dared to bully her anymore, and from then on, everyone would only respectfully look at her when they saw her.

She made way, and then quietly discussed:

"Look, she is General Shen's only granddaughter."

"General Shen is a veteran figure."

"The jewel in the palm of the Shen family, so happy!"

"Yes, it's the Shen family."

"..."

And from the day when her surname was Shen, she began to learn to be a real lady of the family, to learn all the things that a famous lady needs to learn, to be dignified and elegant, to not be surprised by favor or humiliation, and to let that arrogance blend in without leaving a trace. in the bones.

Learn to... lock that stubborn self in the bottom of your heart.

She wasn't born to be calm, but life forced her to grow up earlier.

The author has something to say: Reverse scroll repair is really hidden. .

Speaking of Shen Meizi's life experience, Su is sure, I have always loved Su Meizi very much.
