Quan Zhilong fell asleep only in the early hours of the morning. When Xiaosu and the others woke up for breakfast, he hadn't gotten up yet. The third sister was considerate and didn't ask Xiaoju to call him, saying that she wanted him to have a good night's sleep.The third sister and the eldest wife talked about going shopping together, and originally wanted to call Xiao Su, but she said she was a little tired so she stayed in the Du mansion.Although the Du Mansion is not as big as the Governor's Mansion, the decoration and layout are quite luxurious. Xiao Su is wearing that short white cheongsam printed with apricot flowers and is sitting on the swing on the lawn. She is not a fool, she guessed more or less What is Du Yuesheng's intention to invite her and the third sister over this time? Since they arrived at Du's mansion yesterday, and the overly attentive servants in Du's mansion this morning, they seem to regard themselves as... masters.

Before Xiaosu came to Shanghai, she knew a little about the interpersonal relationship in Du's mansion. Although Du Weipan was adopted by the eldest wife, not Du Yuesheng's biological son, it is said that after Du Weipan came to Du's house, everything went well for Du Yuesheng , so he loves Du Weipan, his adopted son, more than his own son.This young master of the Du family has a very high status in the Du family.Playing with a flower in her hand, she thought to herself that she should find a long-term residence in Shanghai as soon as possible. This Du mansion can only be lived for a few days.This is what Du Weipan saw when he came to the small garden. When the breeze was blowing, Xiao Su gently raised her hand and stroked a strand of hair behind her ear. Although there was a distance, Du Weipan seemed to smell her Like a faint fragrance.I don't know why, but there is some unknown throbbing in my heart.Men love beautiful women, and Du Weipan is also a man.He settled down, approached Xiao Su with a smile on his face, and called her softly. Xiao Su raised his head when he heard the sound, stood up politely and nodded.

"Fifth Miss, let's go for a walk together. Recently, a batch of flower seeds have been brought into the house." Du Weipan invited with a smile. As capricious as in the Governor's Mansion.The two were walking on the path, Du Weipan was not good at dealing with girls, and Xiao Su didn't have the heart to chat with him, so the two of them were silent, Du Weipan peeked at her profile, he didn't like too much Girls who used to be lively always felt that they were too noisy, and he liked the quiet temperament like Miss Murong Fifth best.

Quan Zhilong woke up naturally after sleeping. He tossed and tossed in front of the mirror for more than half an hour before he was satisfied. He only felt that Minguo was too weak, and he didn't even have a little fashionable accessories.He can only try his best to be fashionable in such a difficult environment.Originally, he cared about his image when he was in the Governor's Mansion, but when he came to the Du Mansion in Shanghai, he cared even more than before.He touched his side face narcissistically, and then went downstairs refreshed, only to learn that Sanjie, Xiaoju and even Sister-in-law Fang had gone out, and Changhua went to visit distant relatives, but these people were not Quan Zhilong's Focusing on the object of concern, he asked, "What about Miss Murong?" Although the folk customs in the Republic of China were not as strict and feudal as in ancient times, the boudoir name of a young lady who was not born in the cabinet cannot be told to outsiders.Therefore, Quan Zhilong always called Xiao Su Miss Murong in front of outsiders.

The servant pointed to the small garden not far away and said, "I saw Miss Murong in the garden just now. It should be there." Quan Zhilong nodded his thanks and then ran out. The servant was holding a rag blankly. He said to himself, "It is said that the Murong family is a big family, but the young master would say thank you to the servants... It seems that it is a good thing for us that Miss Murong has become the eldest mistress."

Xiao Su only felt that being with Du Weipan was very difficult, and she didn't even have a topic to chat with people she didn't know very well. It was very awkward and uncomfortable, but Du Weipan didn't know it, and still had a very pleasant smile.The two of them stood in the greenhouse, from another point of view, they looked like a very harmonious match, at least Quan Zhilong was very, very upset when he came here to find Xiaosu.He deliberately coughed heavily, breaking the silence in the room. Du Weipan and Xiao Su turned their heads at the same time. Joy.He was just about to ask Miss Fifth to go to a play tomorrow.Now being disturbed by someone like this, it is difficult to prepare to speak again.

Quan Zhilong completely ignored Du Weipan's eyes, walked straight to Xiaosu's side, and then greeted Du Weipan. These basic politeness will not let people down when he faces his love rival.He looked at Xiao Su, and complained in a low voice, "Why don't people wake me up." Xiao Su pursed her lips and smiled, with a warmth that was not there just now, "Third sister said to let you sleep well. , you are complaining about me, you are so kind to treat me like a donkey's liver and lungs." The two whispered quietly, Quan Zhilong glanced at Du Weipan from the corner of his eye, feeling very proud, if he had followed his previous personality, he would have been with Xiao Su rubbed his hair intimately and put his shoulders on his shoulders, but even if he was jealous, he still didn't want anyone to look down on Xiao Su.

Du Weipan didn't interrupt, he just felt that the cousin of the Murong family didn't seem to like him very much.Quan Zhilong suddenly laughed and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you want to see the night view of Shanghai Beach? It's almost afternoon now, let's go out for a stroll and eat outside at night." Before Xiao Su nodded, Quan Zhilong turned his head to look at Du Weipan again and said, "Young master must be very busy, so we won't bother you, Xiao Su, let's go." He took a quick step to blurt out Du Weipan's "I'll accompany you" I suffocated it back.Du Weipan didn't want to show himself too attentive. After all, his father didn't say anything, so he had to leave with a smile.

Quan Zhilong's complexion was not good until he left the Du mansion. The two sat in the car of the Du mansion. After all, they were not familiar with this area, so they had to let the driver follow.Xiao Su didn't know what was wrong, so she explained directly without thinking too much, "Just now I was sitting alone in the garden, and Mr. Du came over, I didn't mean to be with him." She vaguely knew that Zhilong didn't seem to like it very much. Du Weipan, she knew he was angry now.Quan Zhilong snorted, glanced at the driver who was concentrating on driving, and said in a low voice, "I just don't like the way this family treats you like a young mistress. It's annoying." It's not just Xiao Su who feels it, Third Sister, Everyone, Xiaoju and Mrs. Fang can feel it.Xiao Su frowned and tugged at Quan Zhilong's sleeve, and signaled him with his eyes not to talk about it now, after all the driver is also from the Du family.Quan Zhilong puffed out his cheeks and hummed, and then fell silent.Xiao Su looked at him like this, and her heart softened, she whispered, "We will..." She didn't complete the sentence, but Quan Zhilong understood, she was comforting herself, and moved out after a while .Quan Zhilong's complexion improved a lot, he calmed down, and his face was a little red, what does his behavior look like, isn't it just jealous?But the most undisguised thing in this world is cough, poverty and love.He just doesn't like anyone coveting Xiaosu.

Xiao Su asked the driver to wait on the side, and Quan Zhilong went up to the somewhat old clock tower, standing on the second floor touching the old brick building, Xiao Su took a deep breath, while Quan Zhilong carefully pondered some life The rusted big clock asked wonderingly, "It is said to be a clock tower, why didn't I see the clock?" Xiao Su walked over cautiously holding the wall, and explained, "This is a clock. There were no clocks before, so someone specially Ring the bell to remind you what time it is." Quan Zhilong suddenly realized and nodded, the two of them looked around the clock tower and looked at the surrounding scenery, leaned to one side and smiled at each other, "What did you chat with that Du Weipan today?"

"What can we talk about? The total number of words I said to him does not exceed ten sentences." Xiao Su looked down at her toes and muttered subconsciously, "I was already bored enough, and being with someone who is even more bored than me is so boring." I'm bored." Quan Zhilong was overjoyed, turned his head to the side and pretended to ask casually, "Everyone in their family regards you as a young mistress. What do you think?" Xiao Su sighed helplessly, "What do I think? It's not important. Don't you understand what I've told you before?"

Quan Zhilong was inexplicably angry, so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, "I told you so much before and you didn't listen to a single sentence? These things are all your own business, your own life, how can other people What you think is not important, only you are the most important! Xiao Su, I really don’t like the way you let other people make decisions for you!” Xiao Su just lowered her head and didn’t speak, she was silent for a long time, Quan Zhilong The anger also subsided, thinking that Xiao Su was angry with him, he couldn't help getting closer to her, and said awkwardly, "Okay, okay, it was my fault just now, don't take it to heart." It was ingrained in Su's mind, no matter how much he said, she would still look the same.Seeing her silent appearance, he could only choose to compromise.

Xiao Su suddenly raised her head, looked at Quan Zhilong and smiled, then turned around and looked at the sunset red sky, her tone was a little sad, "I don't know why, since I met Zhilong, I couldn't help but want to Be a little more selfish. I don’t want to be the Fifth Miss of Murong’s family, and don’t care about the responsibilities that may be borne in the future. I just want to be Xiao Su. The life that Zhilong said is only for myself, I feel very tempted .Sometimes I can’t help but think this way. I’m only 17 years old. I don’t care about my responsibilities, my country’s hatred and family hatred, or the six provinces in Jiangbei. I’m just a child. I can’t protect anyone. I should take care of myself. , make yourself happy. I have had this idea since I was a child, but after I met Zhilong, I gradually stopped suppressing the truth in my heart. However, I still clearly understand that if Chengzhou needs me one day, the six provinces of Jiangbei need me. I, my brother needs me, I will still bury this selfish truth deeply in my heart, and do what the real Fifth Miss Murong should do. I also want to be myself freely, and I also want to have no burdens or burdens Guilty and sincere love for someone.”

Her voice was so low that Quan Zhilong couldn't even recognize her emotions.He did the most daring thing when he came here, he suddenly took Xiao Su's hand, forcing her to look at him, he stretched out his hand and carefully hugged her in his arms, Xiao Su's hand was hanging on the side, silent for a while After that, she put her arms around his waist.

"Xiao Su, can you promise me one thing? Only this one thing." Quan Zhilong said in a low voice.

Xiao Su froze for a moment, then nodded.She couldn't refuse Quan Zhilong's request.Whether it's because of friendship or other unspeakable emotions.

"If the time comes when you have to sacrifice your happiness, I beg you to give me the privilege of taking yours, just once."

Xiao Su didn't speak.

Quan Zhilong hugged her tightly, "Only that one time, if someone finds you and wants to take you away, if you are willing, I will never stop you. I hope you can fulfill my privilege and fulfill you too." The waywardness buried in my heart. Only this time." Don't reject me, don't reject me.This is the courage I have been brewing with great difficulty.little sue.

"Do you know what the consequences will be, for me and for you." Xiao Su said calmly, under the calmness, her hands trembled slightly.

"I know. I want to be selfish too."

"Okay, unless you let me never find my way back to Chengzhou and never leave, otherwise, this privilege will expire soon."

1933 5 Month 17 Day.
