Journey to the Rose

Ruan Xi came down by himself, the reason is very simple.

Because Song Shumian couldn't be persuaded by the side, he risked his life to talk too much, "Brother Ruan Xi, think about it, you were so sad and depressed when you broke up with uh-hmm back then, and you never thought of committing suicide! Now you think about it for someone you don't know. Go to hell, it's not worth it!"

Ruan Xi "..."

The three "hmm" sound like thunder, and Song Shumian used four tones, one tones and two tones respectively.

Translate, it is three words——

Lu Zhenghe.

Song Shumian didn't dare to say this person's name in front of Ruan Xi, so he could only replace it with an ambiguous silence. These three words are [-]% to be dropped by "beep" in Ruan Xi's channel .

Don't mention your ex-boyfriend's name casually.

Ruan Xi took a look at him, then stepped back directly to the edge of the rooftop, looking at Song Shumian with a knife that could kill people.

After a while, the anger rolling in Ruan Xi's mind gradually subsided.

After his mood stabilized, he sat down slowly while holding onto the tiles on the edge of the roof, and then looked coldly at the crowd with their heads up at his feet.

He thought of the fish he had fed in his garden as a child.

From the eyes of some onlookers, he could see the cruel expectation, as if they were all waiting for the most precious jewel in the Ruan family's crown to fall like a kite with broken strings.

"This kind of marriage is over as soon as you close your eyes and open it!" Song Shumian comforted him in turn, and choked out another sentence that was useless.

Ruan Xi was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is that something that can be solved by closing and opening the eyes?"

Taking Ruan Xi's eye knife again, Song Shumian felt as if a layer of his Tianling cover had been cut off.

Song Shu shrunk his neck, "You can still get divorced if you are married."

"It's irresponsible of you to think like that,"

With a soft tone, Ruan Xi lowered her eyes and said sullenly, "Marriage is impossible. Marrying someone I don't know, I'd rather elope with that er."

Song Shumian: "Didn't you just say that elopement is stupid?"

Ruan Xi "..."

Did I say it?

However, the Wei family's first pick?

Who?

No such person, never heard of.

After calming down for a while, he began to search in his mind who this "first pick" surnamed Wei was.

Since he was sensible, he remembered that the Wei family had two sons.

Ruan Xi met his eldest son at the Ruan family reception when he was young, and he only remembers that he was glib at a young age, his hair color was malnourished, and he especially loved an emerald finger ring.

Later, I heard that this man failed in the airborne training a few years ago, his legs were broken, and he sat in a wheelchair all year round. It is impossible for him to inherit the family business in this life.

Ruan Xi, the second son, has never met or heard of him, but after calculations, it seems that his age is not much different...

Could it be him?

The two of them were in a trance, when the Song family made a surprise attack from behind, directly pushed Song Shumian to the ground, and tied his wrists with a soft rope.

Song Shumian didn't resist anymore, just lying on the ground staring at a certain direction in a daze.

Ruan Xi was speechless for a while because of being poked in the sore foot.After going downstairs, he escaped the sharp knife-like eyes of the crowd, and escaped from the reporter's gunshots with difficulty.

·

The urban construction of Abze City is circular, and the prosperous strongholds in the city are all concentrated in one area.

In order to stay away from the hustle and bustle and the required area is too large, Ruan's house was located close to the suburbs. Every time Ruan Xi went home, he would take the car until he fell asleep.

Today he couldn't sleep at all.

From birth, it has been rumored that the Ruan family's son will be the treasure mentioned in the book "Prophecy of 26 Cities", a gift from the gods to the land.

Ruan Xi hates this book.

When he grew up, Ruan Xi had just learned to walk, and as soon as he walked on the street, he would attract the residents of the city to stop and watch.A little older, like ten years old, the Ruan family rarely let Ruan Xi appear in places other than school and home, except for going to and from school.

After the split, Ruan Xi, who had been arranged clearly since she was a child, naturally ushered in her marriage contract.

Recently, the relationship between the various city-states is tense, and there may be no news for a long time of the people sent by the Ruan family to purchase supplies in other cities.

What's even more hateful is that, for some unknown reason, someone dug up that ancient prophecy book and brought up the old story again, saying that this land is about to face a huge geological catastrophe.

The prophecy spread wildly, but the city of Abze, which was predicted to be the first to sink, did not fall into panic. People continued to believe in the blessing of Fuze.

"Heavy rain orange warning today, the coastline has not risen compared with last week..."

Ruan Xi leaned on the soft chair in the car, staring at the raindrops on the car window flowing down into a stream, he took a bottle of hot tea and put it next to his cheek, turned on the volume of the radio, and continued to listen to the female anchor— —

"Regarding the "Prophecy of 26 Cities" that has been circulating on land recently, I personally think that our residents have no need to panic! Because as early as eight years ago, this book also said that there will be a, er, similar to the sky. The doomsday situation like the fire will happen! But in the end, it is only predicted that a snow mountain will be burned in the Zenith city on the other side of the land that day... No one wants to destroy us, otherwise why would they want to burn the snow mountain..."

Mess.

Ruan Xi raised her head, unscrewed the hot tea and took a sip, staring at the ever-changing scenery outside the window in a daze.

On the radio, the voice of another male guest came, "Oh, yes, and 16 years ago, the book mentioned that there would be a devastating war that year, but the relationship between the various city-states was very friendly that year."

"Yes, so this year, we don't have to... 嗞... 嗞..."

Ruan Xi stretched out her fingertips and touched the radio, which never had poor signal reception. After debugging for a long time, the sound of the current was not relieved, so she simply turned off the power.

He drank the hot tea in his hand, grabbed the blanket spread on the soft chair and wrapped it around his body. For some reason, he always felt that the weather was getting colder and colder these days.

·

By the time we got home, it was completely dark.

Ruan Xi got off the car from the underground garage and took the elevator to the bedroom floor without turning on the lights.

This is his habit.

Closing his eyes, he could smell a faint scent of roses in the air, which came from the candles he burned before going out.

Half an hour before arriving at the scene of jumping off the building, he still had undiscarded matches between his fingers.

Now, Ruan Xi is holding the photo tightly in his right hand, and the scissors in his left hand cannot be removed.

There are traces of time on the place where the photos were hung on the wall. It is gray and clearly records that someone has stayed here for a long time.

On the photo is the "hmmmmmm" he and Song Shumian mentioned.

Forget it, how boring is it? After breaking up for four years, now you want to marry someone else, and you have to cut photos of your ex?

No need.

Ruan Xi leaned back on the table and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles of the photo with scissors.

He ended up putting the photo in a backpack.

From Ruan Xi's memory, the Ruan family has long been the leading big family in Abze City.

Ruan's Manor covers a large area as a whole, and the main building has three floors. From the outside, the building looks like a medieval castle.

In the early years, the mother of the Ruan family said that the stone-gray walls were too gloomy, so she paid someone to paint the walls with milky white.

For a long time, Ruan Xi, who was still a troublemaker, came home late at night and asked for sex, and her clothes and buttocks were covered in white dust.

Ruan Xi's biological mother was a virtuous and dignified lady who came from a distant and mysterious fairyland city. She had always lived in seclusion and ignored world affairs, and died when Ruan Xi was not yet an adult.

Relatively speaking, Ruan Xi's father was cowardly by nature. He had taken over the family for a long time, but he didn't participate in any struggles. As a result, the Ruan family, which was promoted to the altar, finally fell hard in Ruan Xi's generation. Layers of embarrassing mud.

Due to the family environment, Ruan Xi has been a hedgehog-like existence since he was a child. Others can never guess his thoughts, don't know his vulgar tastes, and cannot tolerate his flaws.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, his father and stepmother were waiting for him.

"It's late, Ruan Xi." Father Ruan said softly.

It seems that Ruan's father is not ignorant, but deliberately wants to avoid this topic.

Not wanting to talk nonsense, Ruan Xi asked, "Why am I the one getting married?"

"Son, Wei Zheng is an excellent candidate," the mother said slowly, "He is another heir that the Wei family suddenly began to focus on training."

"Yeah." Ruan Xi listened obediently.

The stepmother took a sip of hot tea, her voice was soft, and her raised eyebrows made her look absolutely innocent "Because of the geographical location and strength, the Z city where the Wei family is located and our city have been contested by major families since ancient times. Well, the concept of marriage has been around for many years. It is an arrangement of fate, and we cannot fight against it. That is to say, no matter what you go through, you will be tied to this person..."

The full name of City Z is "Zenith", which means "Peak City". It is located at the northern end of the land and is the most prosperous city on the entire land, where it is also the apex of the land.Apart from there, Abze City is the second most powerful city.

The two complement each other, and there are 24 cities in the middle, and the customs are different.Within the border, the city's respective airspace has jurisdiction, and even planes cannot fly in without a special pass.

Seeing that Ruan Xi fell silent, the stepmother continued, "That's why we opposed you and Lu Zhenghe so much when you were 16 years old."

——Lu Zhenghe.

These three words made Ruan Xi fascinated.

He didn't want to understand what a good day it was today, and let the people around him poke his sore spots one after another.

Looking at the dreary decoration in the room, Ruan Xi felt that the time went back to the rainy night when he was caught by his family many years ago.

After sorting out her emotions, Ruan Xi said bluntly, "The man who wants to marry me is called Wei Zheng, right?"

levy...

The name is quite a coincidence.

"Well, the wedding is scheduled for the second half of the year," Ruan's father saw that he was not reacting violently, so he took the opportunity to state, "The Ruan family will hold a single night for you next week, and the next day, the wedding reception team sent by the Wei family from Zenith City will directly send you The helicopter landed on the lawn of our estate."

So anxious?

Ruan Xi listened quietly, "What do I need to do?"

After burning the incense sticks, Father Ruan was amazed at how quickly his son compromised, and raised his eyes slowly, "Think about what you need to do."

The strong scent of Qinan agarwood drilled into the nostrils.

"I need to install high-voltage power grids on all the lawns in the manor within a week, and I need to study how to interfere with radar signals so that people from the Wei family can't fly in or go back." Ruan Xi replied.

"Ruan Xi!" His father was furious and slapped his palm on the mattress.

Ruan Xi turned her face sideways, pursed her lips tightly, unable to utter a word.

There are many kinds of fathers in the world, and his father just belongs to the kind who has no ability outside but loses his temper at his children inside.

Seeing that his son was silent, the middle-aged man softened his tone and continued, "Just get on the plane, and they will pick you up to Zenith City."

"To prepare for the wedding?" Ruan Xi didn't understand what it meant, "I can't get married in my hometown?"

"During the negotiation...the other party's request is to be in Zenith City," the father replied, "That will be the grandest and most luxurious wedding ceremony on the entire continent in this century."

Ruan Xi gritted her teeth angrily, "Father, the Ruan family and the Wei family should be equal."

"There is no such thing as equality, only who is stronger." Father Ruan said.

Ablaze·3 ran into her first love who had been missing for many years on the eve of her wedding.
