Journey to the Rose

After four years of absence, Ruan Xi never expected to meet again in such a situation.

There has been no gardener to take care of the Ruan family's back garden for a long time.

The roses he had planted had long since withered and decayed, and the weeds grew wildly up to his waist. From time to time, gloomy bird calls could be heard in the quiet grove, and there was an unspeakable dampness all around.

At this moment, he was holding the hem of his clothes, and he had no time to care about how much mud the leather boots had stepped on after the rain, and he staggered forward a few more steps.

They got a little closer.

Ruan Xi found that Lu Zhenghe had obviously been doing well in the past four years of his disappearance. His hair, which was a little longer before, was cut to only stubble. His gloomy temperament was gone, and he looked much more cheerful.

His young man has completely grown into a man, his outline has faded, his head has grown a bit taller, and his skin has been tanned by more than one degree.

Ruan Xi still remembers the last time they met by the sea.

At that time Lu Zhenghe was reticent, often staring at the endless coastline of City A in a daze, sitting on the rocks by the beach for hours.

When he first differentiated into alha, there was often a strong rose scent on his neck. Ruan Xi was particularly dependent on that smell, and would often unzip Lu Zhenghe's school uniform and sniff it when there was no one in the classroom. After smelling it, he whispered Warn no one but him to smell it.

If it wasn't for the joy of reunion that had overcome everything, he really wanted to stick it up and sniff the other party's neck to make sure it was Lu Zhenghe.

"I don't tell you to stop," said the person in front of you, "My name is Lu Zhenghe."

A click.

The strings in my brain snapped.

Ruan Xi forgot the questioning that she had silently rehearsed countless times in her heart.

No, in order not to identify the wrong person, I still need to confirm again.

Standing in the grass within a few steps away from people, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Your name is really Lu Zhenghe?"

Lu Zhenghe nodded very readily.

Ruan Xi asked again, "You... are you here to take me away?"

Lu Zhenghe nodded again, but he seemed not so sure.

"Then you wait,"

Ruan Xi was so nervous that she grabbed all the clothes in her hands, looked back at the main building of Ruan's house, which was brightly lit, and hurriedly said, "I'll go back and collect the luggage that I have to bring, and I'll be down right away."

Lu Zhenghe said, "Okay."

After slowing down her breath, Ruan Xi seemed to grasp the last straw, and confirmed again, "Do you really want to take me away?"

He was afraid that the man would disappear when he came down again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lu Zhenghe suddenly said, "But... I need to confirm that you are Ruan Xi?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, buzzing in Ruan Xi's mind.

who am I?

Who do you say I am?

No, Ruan Xi subconsciously thought that this was not Lu Zhenghe at all.

He can accept that Lu Zhenghe disappeared without saying a word for four years, but he absolutely cannot accept that Lu Zhenghe comes back without knowing himself.

If this unreasonable question can be asked, then there are only two possibilities, either amnesia, or the person is fake—but which factory produced it, how can it be so realistic?

No matter what the result is, Ruan Xi suddenly felt the blood rushing up in his chest.

Not far away, the waves of the sea rolled over my heart, undulating, and falling heavily from a high place.

On the eve of the wedding, they sent their old lover over again...

No, there is fraud.

Ruan Xi was only stunned for a few seconds.

Hearing the gust of wind passing by in the back garden, Ruan Xi raised her leg quickly, and kicked Lu Zhenghe, who was not on guard, to the ground with all her strength, then pinched the opponent's shoulder and pressed down again. An elbow hit the side of the neck, and then quickly covered Lu Zhenghe's face with the cloak.

In terms of height, Ruan Xi is on par with this person, but in terms of body shape, Ruan Xi knows very well that this person can bleed his own throat with a single punch.

Whoever moves slowly loses.

He also didn't care about etiquette and impoliteness. While Lu Zhenghe was struggling, he turned over and rode on his back, lifted the hem of the dress, tightly clamped the man's resisting hand with his thigh, and warned in a low voice, "Don't move, move again I strangle you!"

"you……"

"Shut up! Honestly, who the hell are you?"

Unable to listen to anything, Ruan Xi tightened her grip on the man's neck and added, "This is the back garden of the Ruan family. I can kill you and bury you anywhere."

Ruan Xi spoke harsh words, but Ruan Xi had no idea in her heart.

Because the temperature under his palm is hot and sweaty, he can even feel the beating pulse under his skin.

This is an all too familiar body, in fact, he can tell who it is just by touching it.

But Ruan Xi couldn't believe that one day, Lu Zhenghe would come and ask him his name.

"I?"

Lu Zhenghe didn't struggle at all, but looked at the person who suppressed him calmly, as if he didn't take the threat seriously, "I'm Lu Zhenghe."

"You are not!" Ruan Xi suddenly shouted in a low voice, as if he was deceiving himself.

"No," Lu Zhenghe met his scrutinizing eyes, "I am."

Ruan Xi felt that she was about to be pissed off in the next second.

Now his face is splashed with plaster, and he is completely different from the unremarkable appearance at the banquet before.

However, Ruan Xi didn't care how embarrassed she was.

He leaned down, pinched Lu Zhenghe's face that was getting more and more angry with his free hand, and touched his forehead, temples, and chin with his fingertips...

"No human skin?" he asked.

"Original." Lu Zhenghe's Adam's apple moved, making Ruan Xi's palms itch.

Ruan Xi couldn't believe it, "Are you out of your mind? You really don't know me?"

Slightly straightening his upper body, Lu Zhenghe was half lying down and sleeping in the grass, his hot breath passed Ruan Xi's chin that was too close, "Me? Know an oga that smells like wine?"

After saying this sentence that sounded too much to Ruan Xi's ears, Lu Zhenghe raised his arm from his side and punched Ruan Xi's chest.

This fist made Ruan Xi lean back, and quickly supported her body with her elbows.

Without giving his opponent time to catch his breath, Lu Zhenghe jumped up like a cheetah lurking in the dark, bent his knees to touch Ruan Xi's lower abdomen, raised his hand and punched again, and hit the air.

Ruan Xi dodged the fist wind and was forced to roll several times in the grass, turned her head and spat out a weed sticking to the corner of her lips, and asked, "Who told you that I belong to Oga? You don't know what I am? You Didn't you smell it when you kissed me?"

"..."

Obviously, Lu Zhenghe didn't have such a period in his memory at all.

"When did I kiss you?" He still had a smile on his face.

Ruan hoped that he would look like he deserved a beating, and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that Lu Zhenghe was seriously injured and his brain went wrong?

But judging by his agility and careful calculation, it doesn't seem like there is something wrong with his brain.

So good to die, what Lu Zhenghe said next completely defeated Ruan Xi's rationality, "Are you broken in love?"

Ruan Xi "..."

Lu Zhenghe "Don't be too sad."

Ruan Xi's face was tense, and the top of his head was smoking with anger, "Lu Zhenghe, I'll fucking kill you."

He simply stood up, untied the last layer of heavy fabric on the collar, took off the cumbersome coat and threw it aside, and jumped up suddenly, brushing his lips against the side of Lu Zhenghe's face, almost biting Lu Zhenghe off. ears.

In the darkness, Ruan Xi raised her hand and pressed the tiger's mouth to her waist, where a knife was shining coldly under the moonlight.

Unlike other people of the same age, Ruan Xi has practiced swords since childhood, no matter how good he is, at least he can defend himself.Before his grandfather passed away, he spent a lot of money to cast an excellent Xiaoyan Lingdao in other cities for him.

The blade is straight and made of Damascus steel. The tip of the blade is beautifully curved. The back blade is shaped like a goose feather. The scabbard is made of hardwood.

Apart from the fact that the knife can't be pulled out occasionally because the knife is made too long, Ruan Xi loves the knife like his life.

Seeing Ruan Xi brighten the knife, Lu Zhenghe grabbed Ruan Xi's hand holding the knife, twisted his arm forcefully and cut it backwards, and kicked Ruan Xi's knee, causing Ruan Xi to kneel down straight.

He knelt down and hooked Lu Zhenghe's leg backward with his toes, so that the latter couldn't stand still, and the two fell into the grass together again.

There was no light in the back garden, and the patrol lights didn't reach here.

Ruan Xi couldn't see everything in front of her eyes, she just felt that Lu Zhenghe pursed his lips, touched the glands on the back of his neck, and commented, "It really smells like wine."

Moreover, Lu Zhenghe discovered that this person's eyes would show a deep burgundy red color when there was a light source, which was similar to the color of red roses.

"Presumptuous!" Ruan Xi was furious.

"Indeed, I was being rude."

After missing for four years, Lu Zhenghe has not only improved his skills, but also thickened his skin. Every word is like the air after the rain, sticking the wet breath to Ruan Xi's ears.

"..." As soon as the breath touched, Ruan Xi couldn't help humming.

He was more sure.

This is definitely his Lu Zhenghe, unmistakable.

No matter how long they are apart, the electrifying sense of tacit understanding and warmth between two people will always spark sparks in each other's magnetic fields, just because he is his oga.

"I'm just..." Ruan Xi gasped for breath and struggled, and cut through the hem of Lu Zhenghe's shirt with a knife, "I just drank."

Afraid of attracting the patrol, the two of them tacitly kept quiet throughout the whole process, but you punched and kicked and rolled in the grass.

Ruan Xi estimated that her ribs were about to be broken, and Lu Zhenghe didn't understand why Ruan Xifei wanted to punish herself to death.

"Stop fighting. Haven't you heard of the prophecy that is about to be fulfilled from here?" Lu Zhenghe dodged Ruan Xi's fist and grabbed him forcefully, "You don't want to die?"

"Of course I want to die!"

Ruan Xi spat out the blood bitten from the corner of her mouth, and looked down at the imprint on her arm, "But what I want now is your life. I don't care if you predict or not?"

Seeing this temper, Lu Zhenghe became interested, and said seriously, "Are you really Ruan Xi?"

Hearing this, Ruan Xi's anger instantly climbed to the top, and she cursed in a low voice, "I'm your father!"

Listening to his words, Lu Zhenghe couldn't help laughing out loud, but Ruan Xi hit the side of his face with another fist.

After a muffled grunt, the fight ended on the handle of Ruan Xi's Little Yanling Saber.

Lu Zhenghe, who was hit in the neck, slowly closed his eyes, and pressed heavily on Ruan Xi.

He was too big, and Ruan Xi pushed him several times, but he couldn't push him, so he had to push him to the other side with his elbow, and then turned over and got up from the ground.

"Lu Zhenghe is still so good at fighting..."

So no one dared to bully me before!

Wiping the blood stains from the corners of her lips, Ruan Xi struggled to get up, and when there was no one around, she muttered, "It's a good thing I didn't have any interest in fighting each other when I was in love with you."

Despite the temporary stage victory, Ruan Xi did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, and rode on Lu Zhenghe's back again.He fumbled around on his body again, pulled off a ribbon tied with a bow in the dress, grabbed the end of the ribbon and loosened it, and tied Lu Zhenghe's wrist tightly.

The surrounding area was still silent, except for the sound of running water coming from nowhere.

Ruan Xi froze in place, feeling as if she wanted to cry but had no tears.

He couldn't believe what had just happened.

Not to mention that he met Lu Zhenghe again, he even beat him up.

cool?

In fact, it is unpleasant.

Suddenly, Ruan Xi found a pack of rucksacks at the place where Lu Zhenghe was standing, and half of a finger-thick hemp rope fell out of the rucksack.

"His rucksack?" After being hit, Ruan Xi's vigilance soared.

Ruan Xi stretched out her legs and hooked the shoulder straps of the rucksack, squeezing her aching lower abdomen, and pulled out the hemp rope from the bag.

To be on the safe side, Ruan Xi turned Lu Zhenghe's face with difficulty, and tied his arms and upper body tightly, but was afraid that he would run away, so he tied his ankles together to death.

After finishing everything, he twisted away a leaf that fell on the side of Lu Zhenghe's face.

Ruan Xi stood up, holding the other end of the hemp rope in her hand, thinking about how to take people away together.

Just drag it away.

But a bit rude and not very friendly.

But it's all beaten, it doesn't matter if it's rude or not...

In the original plan, Ruan Xi planned to take advantage of the guests' busy drinking and dancing tonight, and leave with her own baggage, but now such an old love has come out, disrupting her thoughts.

"Oh." Ruan Xi felt a little regretful for knocking him out.

This is where Lu Zhenghe should be forced to confess, and let him explain clearly what is meant by "Are you Ruan Xi", what is meant by "I have never kissed you", what is meant by "have you lost love"...

dog man.

It's too much, and what you say is too hurtful.

But maybe this person is not Lu Zhenghe... Could it be that the Wei family sent him to test him?Maybe it's a super-a product!

However, the test is right.

No matter what, his alha is Lu Zhenghe, he only likes Lu Zhenghe, and it is even more impossible to marry someone else.

But just thinking about those words, Ruan Xi felt that someone was stabbing the softest part of his heart with the tip of a knife, bleeding all over the ground.

The blood also splashed into his brain, temporarily affecting his judgment and IQ.

The lighthouse on the roof of the Ruan's manor continued to light up, and the inspection light swept across a corner of the back garden.

With the light, Ruan Xi vaguely saw a huge black off-road vehicle parked in the direction of the back garden leading to the road.

He looked at the logo on the front of the car, then reached out to touch the pocket of Lu Zhenghe's trousers, and sure enough he found a key with the same logo on the front of the car.

Hurrah!

Sneaking into my house and driving here?

What is the intention?

A few minutes later, Ruan Xi took a lot of effort to drag the hemp rope that bound Lu Zhenghe all the way, and finally lifted him onto the co-pilot.

He put the rucksack left by Lu Zhenghe in the back seat.

After getting into the car, Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around in the rearview mirror where there was no movement.As soon as the car key is sensed, the lights in the car light up instantly.

The two lights on the top of the front seat illuminate everything in the car clearly.

He began to fumble with the parts inside the car to see how the car ignited the engine fire.

"For such a big car, the engine must be very loud. I have to get ready and start off again." Ruan Xi said to himself.

Fortunately, when he was just an adult, he learned how to drive with the old man in charge of logistics at home. He didn't know any equestrian skills that other young masters in the city learned.

Ruan Xi pulled down the mirror in front of the driver's seat, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped off the mud on his face, subconsciously turned his body sideways, and wanted to wipe it off for Lu Zhenghe as well.

"Well, it's more like him if he doesn't speak." Ruan Xi commented.

The person evaluated as a fake was leaning on the passenger seat, tilting his head to the right, exposing his most vulnerable neck.The back garden was overgrown with weeds, and the grass-free space was covered with puddles of mud after the rain. The two fought so much that the mud almost covered his entire face.

Taking a deep breath, Ruan Xi put the towel on Lu Zhenghe's side face, and gently wiped off the mud.

A clearly aged scar was exposed.

Compared with the past in memory, this scar has been much lighter.

It was Lu Zhenghe who was chopped off because of Ruan Xi's fight when he was 16 years old.

In terms of age, Lu Zhenghe is half a year younger than Ruan Xi. He has no father or mother, and his relatives don't care. With his good skills, he was selected as a member of the security team and successfully entered Ruan Xi's high school.

Abze City has a strict hierarchical system, and the Ruan family is quite famous in the local area. At that time, Ruan Xi was a big baby who had no other choice but to spoil her. She was called "the most expensive in 26 cities", and the desks used in the school were all specially made. .

In summer, after class, as long as you yell "hot", the subordinates who came to accompany the students at home quickly stood behind and fanned the wind.

Ruan Xi has been treated like this since he was a child, so he naturally didn't think it was strange, until he heard some child laughing at him and saying, "It's like a cute and stinky girl", that's why he had the poor self-esteem in his teenage years , refused to send someone to follow the class at home.

After that, he and Lu Zhenghe gradually got closer, and it was common for them to fight together.

But then separated again.

But Ruan Xi couldn't forget that the slash on Lu Zhenghe's face was to help him block it.

At that time, Lu Zhenghe, who was half a year younger, never bothered to call him "Young Ruan", nor did he call him "brother", nor did he praise Ruan Xi for his good looks like the people in the city, he just called him "Hey" until his face was chopped off With a knife, he touched Ruan Xi's reddened eyes and said, "Ruan Xi, you can't leave marks on such a pretty face."

It's a pity that the person who cherished me so much before disappeared.

After wiping the mud off Lu Zhenghe's face, Ruan Xi said viciously, "I'm going to find a river to throw you out now."

After thinking about it, he added, "It's the kind of river full of piranhas who have been hungry for half a year."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhenghe had already opened his eyes, and was looking at him motionlessly under the dim light in the car.

Don't you know whether Ablaze·5Alpha and Omega are relatives or not?
