My Gentleman Reborn

"What's your relationship with Lu Zhuoxi?"

"..." He Yuzhou was silent, and turned his head away: "The rumors of the villagers and Zhao Yi's words are not true."

Hearing this, Qi Yan frowned slightly, such an answer that avoids the most important and took the lightest is obviously not satisfactory to him.

He looked at He Yuzhou in the dark for a long time, then pursed his lips and said, "Yu'er, let's go for a walk together."

"Now?" He Yuzhou was taken aback, looking at the sky outside.

It was late at night, but the moon was hanging high in the sky, illuminating the yard very brightly, but it was hard to tell that it was late at night.

He looked outside in thought, closed his eyes for a while and replied, "Let's go."

After leaving the courtyard, the two walked very lightly. The lights in the east wing had already been extinguished, and Lu Zhuoxi had already fallen asleep, so they pushed open the door, walked out of the courtyard, and walked along the path under the moonlight.

"Lu Zhuoxi is very talented." Qi Yan said suddenly.

He Yuzhou responded: "Yes, if it wasn't for his illness, he would be a remarkable person by now."

"So, does Yu'er see him differently?" Qi Yan asked.

He Yuzhou paused, frowning: "He and I are not what you think."

"What's that like? Can you explain it to me?" Qi Yan also stopped and looked at him.

He Yuzhou smiled bitterly: "Why do you always misunderstand me when I get closer to others?"

He Yuzhou sighed: "The villagers are justifiable. It's because they don't understand the situation. Why are Uncle Zhao and Brother Cong misunderstood?"

"Even you, who once told you that I am a man, are misunderstanding..."

He sneered, "Lu Zhuoxi is from the Lu family...how could I..."

As he spoke, He Yuzhou seemed to realize something, and suddenly stopped talking. Qi Yan was taken aback, and looked at He Yuzhou who bowed his head.

The moonlight shines beautifully on his shoulders, as if covering him with a layer of veil. Wearing men's clothes on his body, his slender figure shows a bit of elegance. I thought he was a woman before, and I thought he was born beautifully. , but now this slender figure looks a bit handsome under the moonlight, which is more intriguing than before.

Qi Yan watched, his eyes darkened.

He Yuzhou said: "In short, the relationship between Lu Zhuoxi and I will definitely not be what you think. He is almost my brother."

Qi Yan was startled when he heard the words, and stared at He Yuzhou slightly.

brother?

Speaking of which, he had inquired about He Suxian's life experience, but the surname He was not a blood relative of the He family, but... a blood relative of the Lu family.

Qi Yan's eyes flickered, and he seemed to know something vaguely in his heart. He looked at He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou's face was tangled, and he suddenly felt relieved.

"Hehehe..." He laughed lowly, held his forehead, and sat down on the spot.

Lu Zhuoxi, Lu Zhuoxi, the young master of the Lu family, he didn't think of it... Lu Zhuoxi's 'sister' is actually He Suxian, and isn't He Suxian exactly He Yuzhou!

He actually ate brother He Yuzhou's jealousy, Qi Yan laughed.

Is it really because you are too afraid of losing, and you are jealous?

He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan strangely, not knowing what he was laughing at, he knelt down with a frown and said, "Aren't you bewitched?"

"Bewitched?" Qi Yan looked at He Yuzhou, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms: "Indeed, it seems to be caught by a kind of evil called 'He Yuzhou'."

He Yuzhou was taken aback, and struggled to get up: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qi Yan also stood up, avoiding He Yuzhou's question, and said, "So, the story in the yard just now was told to Lu Zhuoxi, you... feel guilty towards him."

Because she concealed the fact that Lu Zhuoxi herself was He Suxian, and because she lied to Lu Zhuoxi about He Suxian's death, she felt guilty towards Lu Zhuoxi who was sad and blamed herself.

He Yuzhou was startled suddenly, turned his head and looked at Qi Yan suspiciously, how did he know it with guilt?

Qi Yan blinked and said: "I mean, because you don't like him, do you feel guilty towards him?"

"..." He Yuzhou was speechless, and said perfunctorily, "That's right."

"No...you heard everything?" He Yuzhou asked Qi Yan.

Qi Yan smiled and said: "Not much, I heard it when you played the flute."

So, haven't heard it before?He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan, the expression on his face did not seem to be lying.

He Yuzhou turned his head away.

Qi Yan said: "Can you play that piece for me alone?"

He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan: "That song is not suitable for you."

"Then... what kind of song is suitable for the next one?" Qi Yan was curious.

"..." He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan helplessly, and sighed: "...Although this is not my specialty."

Talking to himself, he looked around, took advantage of the moonlight to pluck a moderate leaf from not far away, gently wiped the dew on it, and pressed it between his lips.

The melody is long, with a joyful rhythm that inexplicably makes people comfortable, but after the comfort, there is a little bit of lingering, a feeling of tightness, a peculiar tune.

After playing the song, He Yuzhou licked his lips and said: "This song is suitable for you. It looks cheerful, but there is always a restraint in my heart. When I see you, I can think of what you were like before."

"Oh?" Qi Yan chuckled lightly: "Then Yu'er, tell me, what was it like before you got down?"

"Your identity and background are a mystery, but you are exposed."

"You're smiling on the surface, and you don't care about everything, but you can see clearly in your heart than anyone else. You seem to laugh at a lot of pain, but in fact you just hide it in your heart and don't show it..."

He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes, he didn't forget when he saved the man, he was so badly injured but he was teasing him, he was sweating from the pain, but he didn't yell out the pain, such a person hides it so well, it's easy for people to Forget that he will be hurt and hurt.

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "I didn't expect Yu'er to see me so clearly."

"It's not difficult for you to understand." He Yuzhou smiled slightly as he turned the leaves in his hands.

Qi Yan was surprised: "But many people can't see clearly."

"Maybe it's because you hide better in front of them." He Yuzhou said.

Qi Yan's heart was agitated, but on the surface he looked very calm, he nodded slightly, and said in a matter-of-fact way: "That's true."

He Yuzhou glanced back at him, Qi Yan was startled, this glance seemed to take him all in, he couldn't help but restrain his smile: "Yu'er sees me so clearly, what about Yu'er herself? Don't talk about it." See? Your past..."

"In the past?" He Yuzhou's eyes flashed, and he thought of the small courtyard of He's mansion. There was only Wen Qiurong, Xiaojing and him in the small courtyard. Hiding in Tibet to hide from Shang Zhuojun's search, he might face beating if he was found, or when He Zun came back, he was told to stay away, and don't appear in front of He Zun to upset him. Another thing is that when she was with Wen Qiurong, she taught her how to be more like a woman.

Thinking of this, he sank, there was nothing to talk about about his past.

He didn't want to say it at first, but when he raised his head and met Qi Yan's gentle and expectant gaze, the words he refused to talk about were stuck in his throat, and the words he spit out turned into a question: "You... want to Know?"

Qi Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes." I want to hear it from you.

"..." He Yuzhou was silent.

Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too hazy tonight, or maybe Qi Yan's gentle eyes were too determined, and the words that were supposed to be hidden deep in his heart slowly came out: "I used to have two pasts, one was extremely dark, and the other ... warm and illusory."

Qi Yan was surprised, and He Yuzhou said: "The dark past was given by others, and the warm past may be a dream given to me by heaven's pity on me. I still don't know if it is a real past."

Qi Yan narrowed her eyes: "Then... which one does Yu'er like?"

He Yuzhou thought deeply, then shook his head for a while: "I don't like either."

Qi Yan was taken aback, and He Yuzhou said: "The dark past is suffocating, and the illusory past has no sense of reality. Maybe it never belonged to me, so I don't like it."

Qi Yan pursed her lips and asked, "Yu'er said that the dark past was given to you by others, but you were bullied?"

"Bullying?" He Yuzhou sneered: "Maybe it's even more desolate than that. I have to learn things that I shouldn't have learned since I was a child. position, so, growing up, I was outcast."

He Yuzhou smiled wryly, Wen Qiurong asked him to marry, but didn't he just leave him behind.

Qi Yan lowered his head, and a trace of distress flashed in his eyes: "Now, isn't Yu'er well?"

"That's right." He Yuzhou smiled: "I managed to get over it too badly. I was left behind and almost went to hell."

"Thanks to one person who saved me."

Qi Yan was taken aback, and He Yuzhou said, "That man saved me, but he never left his name."

He Yuzhou chuckled, thinking of the mysterious Ninth Young Master in his mind, looked back at Qi Yan and said, "Speaking of that person, he is somewhat similar to you."

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, He Yuzhou said: "They are all generally frivolous, and they like to measure kindness by physical promises."

Qi Yan smiled lightly: "Promising with your body is not something that can be granted to everyone, maybe it's because you have a soft spot for Yu'er?"

"..." He Yuzhou suppressed his smile and turned sad.

"..." Qi Yan was taken aback, and changed the subject: "So, that...benefactor...what do you think?"

"Same as you, although he speaks ambiguously and likes to flirt with others, but he has never really violated the rules. I was blind for a few days, and that man took care of me during those few days, but... he never behaved unruly towards me. "

Because of this, that person still could not believe that he was a man...

"But after he saved me and helped me, he disappeared." He Yuzhou sighed with disappointment in his voice.

Qi Yan was slightly taken aback, feeling in a good mood for no reason: "But are you thinking about him?"

"I've never seen his appearance, and I've never known his name. Even if I meet him in the future, I might miss him too. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay his kindness."

"Besides, I can't give him what he wants."

"That's not necessarily true." Qi Yan replied.

He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan strangely, and Qi Yan hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Why did he disappear?"

He Yuzhou shook his head: "I don't know, he left me here in Hekou Village. He once asked me if I hated those who persecuted and hurt me in the past, and asked me if I wanted revenge."

He Yuzhou said: "I refused..."

"I said I wanted a quiet life, so he sent me here."

"He helped you fulfill your wish?" Qi Yan asked tentatively.

He Yuzhou was silent, and shook his head for a while: "It's too close... He sent me too close, my past is too close to here, I still can't escape many things, and the peaceful life is not what I imagined calm."

"Maybe he didn't notice what kind of place this is, he just chose a random place to put me down."

Qi Yan shook his head when he heard the words, He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan suspiciously, Qi Yan smiled and said: "I just think, from what Yu'er said, that young master doesn't seem to be someone who will abandon Yu'er at will."

"..." He Yuzhou was silent, looking at Qi Yan speechlessly, waiting for his next words.

"Yu'er said that I look very much like that young master. If I were that young master, I must have a reason for doing this. I think he also has a reason. Yu'er might as well think about it."

He Yuzhou frowned upon hearing this, lowered his head in thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't think of it."

Hearing this, Qi Yan smiled lightly and patted He Yuzhou's head: "Yu'er said this place is very close to Yu'er's past?"

He Yuzhou nodded, and Qi Yan said, "If it's possible...does Yu'er want to leave here?"

He Yuzhou was taken aback, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly: "Leave here, go to a place with no past, and live a peaceful life."

"...Then Yu'er doesn't want the villagers I know here anymore. Aunt Guan who has been helping you, Zhao Xiucai who chatted with you very happily, and Village Chief Cong Di Cong who protects the villagers like a big brother and always cares about your secrets Master Lu Zhuoxi, who helped you, don't you want these?" Qi Yan asked.

He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

Qi Yan sighed, took He Yuzhou's hand, and stroked it lightly: "Yu'er... is running away."

He Yuzhou was startled, Qi Yan said: "Don't deny it in a hurry."

"Seeing the past as an extremely dark past, does Yu'er really have no hatred in her heart?"

He Yuzhou was silent, hating, how could he not hate, how could he not hate...

Qi Yan looked at He Yuzhou, who was closing his eyes lightly, and said: "You also have hatred, but you chose to stay away and go to a strange place to live again. Rather than saying that Yu Er, you let go of your bearishness, it is better to say that Yu Er is afraid of facing you." right……"

Qi Yan touched the back of He Yuzhou's hand. He Yuzhou's hand was long and beautiful, with well-defined joints, but it seemed a little clumsy when touched, and he was too thin.

"Yuer, you are... afraid to face your past..."

He Yuzhou was taken aback. He...was he afraid?

"Because you are alone and weak, you are afraid, you are afraid that you will go back to the past if you want to get revenge, so you want to escape, run far away, don't have anything to do with the past, and don't want to meet people and things from the past. "

"..." He Yuzhou was silent.

Qi Yan crossed his fingers with He Yuzhou's: "But, Yu'er, there are many things that you can't escape if you want to. You can escape far, but things won't happen just because you escape. "

"I think the one who rescued you put you so close to your past had only one purpose, to make you no longer afraid to face it."

"Is that so?" He Yuzhou asked back.

Qi Yan chuckled, held He Yuzhou's hand tightly, and clasped his fingers tightly: "If I were that man, I would look forward to this, looking forward to keeping you in a place close to your past, and letting everything happen naturally. You can face it calmly."

"Only by facing it calmly, will your knots be untied, your resentment will disappear, and your tragic past will truly come to an end."

"...He is looking forward to your growth." Qi Yan smiled and approached He Yuzhou, and his gentle eyes made He Yuzhou fall.

He Yuzhou's heart was beating rapidly, and his eyes seemed to be glued to Qi Yan's face, watching him fascinated.

Qi Yan chuckled, lowered his head and pecked He Yuzhou's lips lightly.

He Yuzhou was startled, and reflexively wanted to push Qi Yan away, but there was a trace of reluctance in his heart.

In the midst of entanglement, Qi Yan chuckled: "After hearing what I said, Yu'er still wants to leave? Far away?"

"If you still want to, I'll help you." Qi Yan looked at He Yuzhou with a smile.

He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly shook his head: "I don't know if I just want to escape as you said, but I'm really afraid..."

Afraid of being found by the He family, afraid of being taken back by them, returning to the hellish life they once lived.

Fear is mixed with hatred for the He family, which is why he is so disgusted with hearing about the He family, and only when he sees people related to the He family and hears about the He family will he think carefully and come up with ideas It was only because Cong Di made things difficult for the He family that he would fight against Ding Fu who was related to the He family.

He himself was contradictory in his heart, he was afraid and wanted to take revenge, so while avoiding, he took revenge on people related to the He family when he came into contact with them.

After all, coward is more suitable for himself.

He Yuzhou smiled wryly: "I understand."

Qi Yan chuckled, reached out and lifted a lock of hair on He Yuzhou's chest, leaned over and kissed: "Let's go back."

"kindness."

After a sleepless night, Qi Yan's words were repeated in his mind.

In the morning, after cooking breakfast for the four members of the family, He Yuzhou was still in a daze, but it wasn't just He Yuzhou who was in a daze, but also Lu Zhuoxi, who was obviously wandering.

Pushing a wheelchair and sitting in the yard, looking into the distance, it's been a morning, his eyes are full of sadness, but he doesn't know what he is worried about.

If He Yuzhou was in good condition, he might be able to find out what was wrong with Lu Zhuoxi, but since He Yuzhou talked with Qi Yan last night, he was also faintly confused.

But Qi Yan, the only one who was more awake, finished his breakfast early in the morning and went out.

The yard was very quiet for a while, and couldn't bear the silence, so Qin Huan greeted He Yuzhou and went out.

He Yuzhou and Lu Zhuoxi were the only ones left in the yard, and they seemed a little embarrassed for a while.

Lu Zhuoxi coughed lightly, and finally opened her mouth: "Last night..."

He Yuzhou froze, and then he heard Lu Zhuoxi say: "Zhuoxi thought about the story Miss told last night."

"Perhaps, as Miss said, guilt can't be replaced no matter how much love and sympathy there is, so, perhaps, Zhuo Xi is just... too guilty..."

"..." He Yuzhou was stunned. When he talked about that story, he just felt guilty for Lu Zhuoxi in his heart. Why did Lu Zhuoxi feel guilty for He Suxian?

"Zhuo Xi once promised to take her back to the Lu family, but she kept her waiting for more than ten years in vain. In the end, she didn't even wait for someone from the Lu family to pick her up. This is Zhuo Xi's guilt for her failure. I have not fulfilled the responsibility of an elder brother for several years, which is another guilt I have towards Su Xian. These guilts torture Zhuo Xi all the time. Rather than saying that Zhuo Xi went to guard the tomb because she was worried about Su Xian being lonely, it is better to say that it is Zhuo Xi For peace of mind, in the final analysis, Zhuo Xi is nothing but a selfish person...cough cough..."

As he said that, he coughed twice, with unbearable sadness in his eyes, He Yuzhou was startled, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start. He regretted very much at this moment, regretted telling an inexplicable story.

"Zhuoxi can't go on like this." Lu Zhuoxi said suddenly.

He Yuzhou was taken aback, and couldn't help looking at him, he said: "If you don't do something, Zhuo Xi will never feel at ease for the rest of your life."

"..." He Yuzhou was stunned, and Lu Zhuoxi said, "Zhuoxi is going to take the exam and become an official."

"?!" He Yuzhou was stunned: "But Young Master Lu didn't say that he never thought about it..."

"Yes, Zhuo Xi is not in good health, I never thought about it, but I have something to do."

"Originally, there were two things Zhuo Xi wanted to do, miss, do you still remember?"

He Yuzhou responded: "One, let the descendants of the Lu family no longer be burdened by money, and the second, let... He Suxian recognize his ancestor and return to his clan."

"That's right." Lu Zhuoxi said: "It is to let Suxian recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and let those who killed Suxian pay their due price!"

"!" He Yuzhou was shocked, could it be that Lu Zhuoxi wanted to take revenge... The He family?

Do not……

"Master Lu, listen to me..."

"Apart from that, Zhuo Xi has one more thing she wants to do..."

Lu Zhuoxi looked at He Yuzhou with complicated eyes. He Yuzhou's body froze when he was watched, and he sat up straight involuntarily.

"Zhuo Xi knows that this matter may embarrass Miss...but Zhuo Xi really wants to..."

Closing her eyes, Lu Zhuoxi seemed to have made up her mind, she looked at He Yuzhou and said firmly, "Zhuoxi... wants to marry Miss."

"!" He Yuzhou was stunned, and stood up abruptly, without knowing that his sleeves swept the teacup on the table to the ground.

"Master Lu... Are you kidding me?"

"Miss looks at Zhuo Xi's appearance, does it look like a joke?"

As she said that, Lu Zhuoxi narrowed her eyes, and said sadly: "Zhuoxi knows that she is not in good health, and she doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. Letting Miss marry me will make Miss feel wronged, because Zhuo Xi doesn't know how long she can be with her." Moment, but... this is Zhuo Xi's selfishness, Zhuo Xi wants to do one thing for herself in this whole life, Zhuo Xi... wants to marry Miss, Miss... agree?"
