Chapter 99 Dormancy
Jiang Yue opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at the familiar and uniform room layout around him, and lay down again.
The scenes that happened yesterday were played back in my mind: the candidate for the family meeting, Jiang Qi was accused of shooting and killing the clan's children, and was disqualified as a candidate, and was given a serious warning; after the meeting, Jiang Huai said something strange to him It's very unpleasant, A Subaru almost got into a fight with Jiang Huai...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue rubbed his sore temples and sighed inwardly.
Speaking of which, the reason why A Subaru was attacked by Jiang Qi was somewhat related to him.Uncle Feng has always been kind to him and has given him great expectations. Naturally, he doesn't want A Subaru and Jiang Huai to have a conflict at this time.In other words, if Jiang Huai's surname was not Jiang, based on what he said, Jiang Yue would definitely not let him see the sun the next morning.But Jiang Huai didn't make a big mistake after all, it was just a verbal collision, Jiang Yue really couldn't do anything to him.What's more, Jiang Qi has fallen, not to mention three generations, at least Jiang Huai has no chance to be a candidate in this life.Jiang Huai is like a lost dog. If he says it, Jiang Yue will just treat it like a vicious dog barking.
After thinking this through, Jiang Yue sat up from the bed.The clock on the wall had pointed to 05:30, and Jiang Yue glanced at the clock after washing and dressing: 38:[-].The butler is almost here.As soon as Jiang Yue walked to the window, he opened the curtain and took a look outside. It was dark outside the window, and many people were still fast asleep.I hope Subaru and the others got up on time... In fact, they didn't drink too much last night, right?Jiang Yue vaguely remembered that he finally fell on Xiu's body and fell into a drowsy sleep.Probably because I was too tired, I was drunk after two drinks.
At 45:[-], the doorbell rang on time.Jiang Yue straightened his tie in the mirror, then turned and opened the door.
"Young master, it's time to go." The middle-aged butler said with a smile, and two young guards stood behind him with expressionless faces.
Jiang Yue nodded and walked out.When going downstairs, Jiang Yue obviously felt something was wrong.Although the other clan disciples also paid respects to him in the past, it was not so exaggerated.At this moment, the eyes of these people looking at him flickered, not daring to look, even fearful.
"Did something happen last night?" Jiang Yue asked the housekeeper.
"Nothing happened last night, young master, it's time to get in the car." The old housekeeper opened the car door, bent slightly and said.
"Where's Jiang He?" Jiang Yue asked after getting into the car.
"Master He is already in the car ahead. I wish you a smooth day, young master." The housekeeper said with a smile, and closed the door.
Jiang Yue frowned slightly. In the past, Julian would always pester him to ride in the same car.Probably Jiang Yue was too sensitive today, and felt that everything was wrong.
In addition to the routine meeting today, there is also a very important ceremony-sacrifice.Although it is not very popular among young people, the old people attach great importance to it.At three o'clock in the afternoon, the gate of the underground ancestral hall opened, and all Jiang's children redressed without makeup and filed in.The old people were already waiting there, and Jiang Yue saw at a glance that the wheelchair old man in the front was his father, Jiang Chaolin.Behind Jiang Chaolin are the current Patriarch Jiang Chaoan and the previous Patriarch Jiang Chaofeng who were elected yesterday.In the history of the Jiang family's patriarchs, almost all served for one term for three years, and at most two terms, they are already very outstanding heirs, and they retired after six years.Only Jiang Chaolin served three consecutive terms and was in power for ten years.His political achievements are unmatched and unprecedented.Even being born with a handicap can't hide his amazing talent. It's a pity that such a proud man has dementia and unconsciousness in his later years.Perhaps because of this, the old people in the Jiang family loved and had high hopes for Jiang Chaolin's eldest son.
Standing behind the crowd, Jiang Yue felt that strange look again.Rumang was on his back, making him very uncomfortable.And since the meeting this morning, Jiang He and Jiang Subaru have been arranged to stay far away from him.It's the same at this moment, when they came in just now, those two people were directly placed in the last row.Diagonally behind, there is Jiang Mo who has a better relationship with him, and everyone drank together last night.But this Jiang Mo was timid. When Jiang Yue looked over, he hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the ground, his face pale.
Something must have happened last night.Jiang Yue said firmly in his heart.
The scale of the underground ancestral hall is majestic and majestic. However, if you have a little knowledge of Feng Shui, you will find that this place is very strange.The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac signs built in twelve directions overlook the round platform in the center. The official saying is to protect, but in the eyes of a little knowledgeable person, it looks more like suppression; the round platform built does not look like What kind of podium is like an altar instead.
Jiang Yue came here for the first time when he was seven years old.Every child of the Jiang family will come here when they reach a certain age, and the name is to meet their ancestors.
The dark and terrifying altar in memory, the glass cabinet with strange spells and weird shapes, and half a hundred old people who couldn't see their expressions clearly.Father took his hand and put his fingers in the glass case...
Jiang Yue's psychological shadow on the family meeting began at that time.I thought he had grown up and matured enough, but when Jiang Yue stood here, looking at the altar through the backs of countless elders in front of him, he still felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the glass cabinet.The ancient and mysterious long sword is like a monster, waiting for an opportunity to put him to death.But the strangest thing was the adults around him—the elders, uncles, and even his father. These people seemed to be excitedly looking forward to that moment.This knowledge scared Jiang Yue when he was a child.
There was a moment of commotion all around.
Jiang Yue's thoughts were pulled back, and his eyes looked at the center of the altar.The new Patriarch Jiang Chaoan just stretched his hand in, his blood dripped on it, and the blade glowed a faint red for a moment.It was this burst of red light that made the crowd commotion.
Rumor has it that this patriarch's divine sword is a treasure handed down from the ancestors. Jiang's disciples dripped blood on it. If the chosen one, the divine sword will give a certain degree of response.This is also the most important step in selecting the Patriarch. Only those who have been recognized by the Patriarch Excalibur can truly lead the Jiang family.Although this statement is very superstitious, it is the unshakable iron rule of the Jiang family for more than 700 years.Every Patriarch is chosen in this way.
This was the first time Jiang Yue saw the sword sacrifice in a real sense, and he forgot everything about his childhood.
Jiang Chaoan has been recognized by the ancestor sword, which means that he has passed the last test. In the next three years from today, he will be in charge of the entire huge Jiang Empire and gain the supreme power.
However, the old people didn't seem very satisfied. They frowned slightly, stroked their goatees and whispered to each other, communicating in low voices.An old man suddenly glanced at Jiang Yue and said something, and then the other old men also looked at Jiang Yue frequently, and finally his cousin nodded and gave Jiang Chaofeng some instructions.
Jiang Chaofeng walked up to Jiang Chaoan and whispered for a while, Jiang Chaoan nodded, walked to the center of the altar, showed a kind smile, and the restless crowd quieted down.
"Ah Yue, come here." Jiang Chaoan shouted directly.
Everyone looked at Jiang Yue, and the people in front of him slowly backed away, making way for a wide and cold road.
Jiang Yue collected himself and walked towards the altar.On the high platform, the father in the wheelchair showed a loving smile and nodded to him.
"Don't be afraid." Jiang Chaoan stretched out his hand and said in a low voice.
Jiang Yue handed Jiang Chaoan his hand.Jiang Chaoan opened the gate of the glass cabinet and put Jiang Yue's hand in.Jiang Yue had a calm and indifferent face, but only he knew that the back of his shirt was soaked.When his fingers touched a cold and hard blunt instrument, Jiang Yue knew that he had touched the tip of the sword.
"Ah Yue, don't shake." Jiang Chaoan reminded in a low voice.
Jiang Yue didn't dare to vent his anger, and tried his best to restrain the trembling of his right hand.I thought in my heart that it was fortunate that my back was facing the crowd, otherwise people would see his panicked look, which would be bad.
Slowly, Jiang Yue felt a thin stream being sucked out from his fingertips.The sword was indeed sucking his blood!Jiang Yue kept his body upright, staring at his father's eyes on the high platform in front of him flickeringly.
There was a greater commotion behind him than before, and an old man on the high platform stood up, pointing at the glass cabinet with an excited expression.The originally demented old man's eyes flickered, and he patted the armrest of the wheelchair vigorously.
"Can't stop!" Someone yelled.
"It's been sucking!"
"A Yue, take out your hand!" Jiang Chaoan suddenly changed his expression and said hurriedly.
Jiang Yue's face changed slightly, "I can't take it out."
The entire glass cabinet was bursting with red light, which was many times stronger than Jiang Chaoan's red light before.The monster sucked his entire palm, as if to drain his blood.Jiang Chao'an tugged, but didn't move.Jiang Chaofeng and several middle-aged men rushed up to the altar, and everyone pulled them together.There was chaos on the altar, and Jiang Yue himself used his strength. He had a strong intuition, and his survival instinct made him shout: "Take the knife! Cut it down!"
At this moment, Jiang Yue suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a force surged out, climbed up his arms along his chest, and went straight into the glass cabinet.
With a loud bang, the glass case burst open.The Patriarch Excalibur glowed brightly red, trembling and trembling.
Everyone took a few steps back and stabilized in danger.An elder rushed forward, pressed a mechanism, and several wooden talisman wedges fell from the sky, stuck on the body of the Excalibur.Jiang Chaoan pulled the red cloth on the side and covered it, but the divine sword was still trembling all over, and it took a full ten seconds to stop.
The Jiang family's disciples had already retreated to the gate of the ancestral hall, they were all shocked by this strange scene and could not speak.Several elders walked over to comfort them and told them to leave first.
"Ayue, are you alright?" Jiang Chaofeng helped Jiang Yue who fell to the ground in confusion just now, raised his arm to look, and saw a red blood line appeared on the five fingers of Jiang Yue's right hand, running along the finger Merge into a strange symbol in the palm of your hand.
"Third uncle, what is this?" Jiang Yue asked in panic.
Jiang Chaofeng looked serious, "Let's bandage it up first."
The old people on the stage whispered to each other, as if they were arguing.When Jiang Yue was helped out of the underground ancestral hall, his face was pale and his footsteps were a little vain.
"Brother Yue!"
"elder brother!"
Jiang Subaru, Julian and Jiang Mo rushed forward and supported Jiang Yue.
"Brother, are you okay?" Julian saw Jiang Yue's hand wrapped in white cloth, and his voice broke directly: "What the hell is this? Why did they let you do this? Aren't they afraid of your death?"
"Get in the car first! Let's go back first!" Jiang Subaru said, helping Jiang Yue into the car with Jiang Mo.
When he returned to his son's apartment, Jiang Yue had almost stabilized.Without being helped, he got out of the car by himself.As soon as he stepped out of the car door, a white shadow swayed in front of his eyes and grabbed his arm.
"Jiang Yue!" a worried voice.
Jiang Yue raised his head and saw that it was Yu Xiu.It's just that Yu Xiu didn't know what happened, and his face was pale, not much better than him.Yu Xiu looked at his hands, wrinkled his face, feeling extremely distressed.
"I'm fine, just got a little injury." Yu Xiu probably overheard those people's nonsense just after they came back, and Yu Xiu got scared like this.
Yu Xiu didn't say anything, and dragged Jiang Yue back to the house, insisting on letting him sleep.Jiang Yue originally wanted to ask Jiang Subaru something about them, but he was a little unsteady by the sudden shock, so he obediently fell asleep.
Jiang Yue fell asleep, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed.There was no one in the room, Jiang Yue sat up, thinking of the terrifying altar during the day, he immediately raised his palm to check.The hand no longer hurts, Jiang Yue squeezed it strangely, feeling that something was wrong, and when he took off the gauze, there was nothing on the palm of his hand!
What about the wound?Healed?impossible!Jiang Yue looked at the time and found that he had slept for three hours at most.Or is everything that happened today a wild dream? !
Just then, someone opened the door and came in.Jiang Yue subconsciously wrapped the gauze back quickly, and lay back on the bed in shock.
"Xiao Yue, are you awake?" It was Bai Danhan who brought over the food.
Jiang Yue nodded, opened his mouth and asked, "Where's Yu Xiu?"
As soon as he woke up, he looked for Yu Xiu, which surprised even himself.Bai Danhan was taken aback, put the porridge beside him, moved a chair and sat down in front of the bed.
"Yu Xiu is sleeping, Xiao Yue, you really can't leave him for a moment now." Bai Danhan joked.
Jiang Yue lowered his head and said nothing.
Bai Danhan said, "Xiao Yue, it's time to change the medicine."
Only then did Jiang Yue see that she had brought the medicine box over.
"No, no need. I don't want to change it yet." Jiang Yue said, hiding his right hand in the quilt.
Bai Danhan saw it, and couldn't hold back the smile on his face, "Xiao Yue, do you mean that Xiu came to change your medicine? I'll call him."
Stand up while speaking.
"No——" Jiang Yue stretched out his hand to hold her, Bai Dan took a bite, Jiang Yue quickly let go of his hand, and said awkwardly: "No, I don't want to change the medicine. Sister Bai, sit down, let's talk. "
Bai Danhan sat down again, bowed his head and smiled, looked at his hands, his voice trembling slightly: "I thought you would never talk to me again."
"Why? What are you thinking?" Jiang Yue was a little annoyed at this moment, his mind was full of what happened during the day, as well as the strange eyes of the people around him, and the faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
"Xiao Yue, what are you worried about?" Bai Danhan asked suddenly.
Only then did Jiang Yue realize that he had shown his emotions on his face, and frowned slightly, "Sister Bai, don't think too much, I'm not targeting you."
Bai Danhan smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I know. I heard they said that it seemed very dangerous to be in the ancestral hall today. I, I don't know what happened. But you must be very tired these two days, last night If something like that happened to Jiang Huai again, you must be very stressed..."
"What happened to Jiang Huai?!" Jiang Yue asked suddenly.
"Ah, haven't they told you yet? That's right, you were drunk last night, and you've been in meetings today..."
"Tell me what happened to Jiang Huai?" Jiang Yue asked anxiously.
"Jiang Huai...he..." Bai Danhan seemed a little at a loss for what to say, "When we went down from the bar last night, he insisted on taking the stairs. But when he got to the stairs, he suddenly went crazy. They said that he seemed to be frightened by something, and he was holding the window and refused to take a step downstairs. He kept saying 'I'm sorry', and hit his head against the wall, bleeding from the impact. People around him thought he was drunk Going drunk, went up to pull him, but Jiang Huai suddenly became very strong, he pushed away the person who was pulling him, and fell out of the window..."
Jiang Yue was stiff and did not move.
Bai Danhan said: "I was sent to the hospital last night. She didn't seem to be dead. News came this afternoon that Jiang Huai had come to her senses, but she was paraplegic and could only spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair... Jiang Huai Huai was only 32 years old and not yet married. How could he bear such a result, and he wanted to die. Uncle Seven was furious and ordered to call out all the surveillance cameras last night. He said that Jiang Huai was being punished... But the fact is that Jiang Huai went crazy by himself, and it was clear from the monitoring that he jumped off by himself at that time. Because Jiang Huai kept saying sorry, everyone guessed that he was apologizing to you, and Uncle Qi said that this matter has something to do with you ...But cousin and the others have already come forward, so no one is allowed to mention this matter again."
After Bai Danhan finished speaking, there was still something in his heart that he didn't dare to say: An ordinary adult man jumping from the second floor would at most have a broken bone.Jiang Huai is still a martial arts practitioner, with strong physical strength, but he turned out to be a high paraplegia.People said behind their backs that Jiang Huai was pulled down by something——
Jiang Yue is the destined person, Jiang Huai offended Jiang Yue, Excalibur was furious, and punished Jiang Huai.
I don't know why one night passed, but everyone in the Jiang family was spreading such rumors.Of course, Bai Danhan would not tell Jiang Yue such nonsense, and no one dared to tell Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue remained unresponsive.He didn't look like he wanted to talk to her, so Bai Danhan planned to leave.
"Where is Yu Xiu?" Jiang Yue asked suddenly.
Bai Danhan was taken aback, "He's sleeping."
"No, I'm asking where Yu Xiu was when Jiang Huai had an accident last night?"
"Last night..." Bai Danhan thought about it for a moment, "Yu Xiu said he was going to the bathroom when everyone was leaving last night, and asked Rize and Xiaohe to take you down first. After we went downstairs, we saw that something happened to Jiang Huai After a while, Yu Xiu came down."
Speaking of this, Bai Danhan looked at Jiang Yue's face and paused, "Xiao Yue, Jiang Huai jumped off by himself in the surveillance, and no one pushed him. And at that time, there was no one else around him except his confidant. You ...don't overthink it."
Jiang Yue smiled, "No, I'm just curious. Thank you, Sister Bai."
These two matters were strongly suppressed by the elders of the clan, and no one dared to mention them again.Time flies, and soon, this year's family meeting is drawing to a close.As soon as Jiang Yue came back that day, he received a letter from the outside world.
"Dear Major, the sample of the ring you asked me to help design has come out, and I have modified it according to your suggestion last time. I hope you are satisfied." —— Signed by the famous German designer Teresa.
Jiang Yue unfolded the drawing and held it up in the air to watch.Above are two exquisite men's couple rings. The totem patterns are very meaningful and have been changed no less than ten times.
"Xiao Yue, what is this?" A gentle female voice came from behind.Since the last conversation, Jiang Yue thought it was not good to be too indifferent to Bai Danhan, so he talked to her more often, and the two warmed up again.
"Is this the ring you and Yu Xiu got?" Bai Dan took the blueprint with a smile.Jiang Yue told Bai Danhan about the ring, and took some of her opinions.
Jiang Yue nodded, picked up the coffee that Bai Danhan brought over just now, and took a sip.The sun shines down from the flower gallery above and falls on the elegant and chic desk, which is peaceful and serene.
"You really don't want to discuss it with Yu Xiu?"
"He said he likes everything I like, and I want to give him a surprise." Jiang Yue looked up at a small white flower blooming in the wind on the white stone pillar, showing a smile.
"It was said that Yu Xiu went back to his hometown for the New Year, when will he come back?"
"Hurry up." Jiang Yue murmured.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Julian's cheerful voice behind me: "Brother~~~~~Look who is here~~~"
Jiang Yue didn't look back, Bai Dan said with a smile: "Really, Cao Cao will be there when you say Cao Cao."
Thinking of Jiang Yue's surprise, she quickly hid the drawings under the documents on the desk.Gently pushed Jiang Yue, "I'll go first."
Turned around and left.
In the eyes of Julian and Yu Xiu who were approaching from a distance, this scene looked a bit like the ambiguous actions of young men and women.Julian was taken aback for a moment, and then he didn't think too much, and pushed Yu Xiu: "Go Pikachu~~!"
Yu Xiu walked over with no expression on his face, put the basket in his hand on the desk, and glanced coldly at the documents that had just been hidden by Bai Danhan.
Jiang Yue turned around, with a smile on his lips, and poked at the beautifully wrapped basket: "Auntie asked you to bring me something again. What is it?"
"Look for yourself." Yu Xiu said, pulled the wicker chair and sat under the stone pillar to bask in the sun.
Jiang Yue put down the coffee, opened the package and saw that there were pieces of cute and exquisite egg tarts.Tried one and it tasted pretty good.Jiang Yue took one in his mouth and lowered his head to Yu Xiu's mouth.Yu Xiu closed his eyes and hid for a while, then opened them suddenly, his amber pupils merged into a flame-like pattern under the sun.
Jiang Yue blocked the egg tart, but Yu Xiu couldn't hide from the left and right, so he opened his mouth to greet him.The egg tarts disappeared between the lips and teeth of the two of them. Jiang Yue propped his hands on both sides of the rattan chair and said with a smile, "Yu Xiu, are you jealous?"
Yu Xiu was silent.
Jiang Yue: "You have been away for half a month, have you ever thought about my feelings?"
Yu Xiu turned his face away, his throat moved, and the tip of his nose was slightly red.
"I've only been away for half a month, and you're flirting with others; if I've been away for half a year, will you find another new love? If I've been away for a year, will you completely forget me?"
He sent out this question, but did not get an answer from Jiang Yue.Yu Xiu was startled and furious, and turned his head to stare at Jiang Yue.But I saw Jiang Yue's deep and steady eyes, which seemed calm and calm, but actually contained turbulent waves.
"Why did you leave me?" Jiang Yue asked in a deep voice.
His eyes were extremely oppressive, Yu Xiu's eyes trembled, and he looked away: "I'm just making an analogy, don't change the subject."
Jiang Yue suddenly grasped Yu Xiu's arm with astonishing strength, and Yu Xiu felt a little painful when he pinched it.
"Yu Xiu, did I tell you? I can give you whatever you want. I can do it. As long as you want, I will be yours for the rest of my life. What else are you not satisfied with?"
Yu Xiu met Jiang Yue's eyes: "How can one life be enough? What I want is life after life. Can you do it?"
Jiang Yue was startled first, then laughed.He laughed for a long time, let go of Yu Xiu's arm, and said, "It's over, Yu Xiu, stop making trouble. Can't we live a good life?"
He gently held Yu Xiu's shoulder, and said seriously: "Don't worry, no one will stop us in the future. My mother said that as long as I study hard and succeed as the head of the family in three years, I can be with whoever I want to be with." Who is together. Yu Xiu, I promise you, I give you this promise: as long as I am still alive, I will only belong to you in this life."
But Yu Xiu asked: "Then are you willing to stay with me forever?"
Jiang Yue nodded reassuringly, held him in his arms, and sighed: "Of course, if there is an afterlife. But let's live this life well first? Although I promised you, this is a matter between two people , We need to work together to achieve it. Now I am willing to do my best to fulfill this promise for you, you know that I always keep my word. You should believe me. "
In fact, Jiang Yue didn't believe in past and present lives in his heart, and he thought Yu Xiu was a little dazed.But when he thought that Yu Xiu had become like this for himself, he felt infinite pity in his heart.No matter what Yu Xiu becomes, he is his person, and he will treat him well, satisfy him, and make him happy.
After getting Jiang Yue's answer, Yu Xiu finally smiled.Leaning in Jiang Yue's arms, he narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the sun slowly sinking from the sky.
"Jiang Yue, you said that you will give me whatever I want, right?"
"En." Jiang Yue nodded and asked, "What do you want?"
"I want you to play a game with me, there is only one rule: you have to trust me unconditionally. Can you do it?"
"Yes." Jiang Yue thought for a while and asked, "But what is the purpose of the game?"
"The purpose is..." Yu Xiu's voice seemed to be falling asleep, a little lazy, as if he was joking with Jiang Yue: "The purpose is what you just said, in order to fulfill our common promise... life after life together."
Jiang Yue smiled helplessly, and said in his heart that Yu Xiu was childish, but said, "Okay. When will it start?"
"I'll let you know." Yu Xiu murmured, "I will decide when the game starts and ends."
"Okay." Jiang Yue said with a smile: "I listen to you in everything, who made you my wife."
Yu Xiu lowered his eyes and curled the corners of his lips.
Jiang Yue, the game has already started.
The scenes that happened yesterday were played back in my mind: the candidate for the family meeting, Jiang Qi was accused of shooting and killing the clan's children, and was disqualified as a candidate, and was given a serious warning; after the meeting, Jiang Huai said something strange to him It's very unpleasant, A Subaru almost got into a fight with Jiang Huai...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue rubbed his sore temples and sighed inwardly.
Speaking of which, the reason why A Subaru was attacked by Jiang Qi was somewhat related to him.Uncle Feng has always been kind to him and has given him great expectations. Naturally, he doesn't want A Subaru and Jiang Huai to have a conflict at this time.In other words, if Jiang Huai's surname was not Jiang, based on what he said, Jiang Yue would definitely not let him see the sun the next morning.But Jiang Huai didn't make a big mistake after all, it was just a verbal collision, Jiang Yue really couldn't do anything to him.What's more, Jiang Qi has fallen, not to mention three generations, at least Jiang Huai has no chance to be a candidate in this life.Jiang Huai is like a lost dog. If he says it, Jiang Yue will just treat it like a vicious dog barking.
After thinking this through, Jiang Yue sat up from the bed.The clock on the wall had pointed to 05:30, and Jiang Yue glanced at the clock after washing and dressing: 38:[-].The butler is almost here.As soon as Jiang Yue walked to the window, he opened the curtain and took a look outside. It was dark outside the window, and many people were still fast asleep.I hope Subaru and the others got up on time... In fact, they didn't drink too much last night, right?Jiang Yue vaguely remembered that he finally fell on Xiu's body and fell into a drowsy sleep.Probably because I was too tired, I was drunk after two drinks.
At 45:[-], the doorbell rang on time.Jiang Yue straightened his tie in the mirror, then turned and opened the door.
"Young master, it's time to go." The middle-aged butler said with a smile, and two young guards stood behind him with expressionless faces.
Jiang Yue nodded and walked out.When going downstairs, Jiang Yue obviously felt something was wrong.Although the other clan disciples also paid respects to him in the past, it was not so exaggerated.At this moment, the eyes of these people looking at him flickered, not daring to look, even fearful.
"Did something happen last night?" Jiang Yue asked the housekeeper.
"Nothing happened last night, young master, it's time to get in the car." The old housekeeper opened the car door, bent slightly and said.
"Where's Jiang He?" Jiang Yue asked after getting into the car.
"Master He is already in the car ahead. I wish you a smooth day, young master." The housekeeper said with a smile, and closed the door.
Jiang Yue frowned slightly. In the past, Julian would always pester him to ride in the same car.Probably Jiang Yue was too sensitive today, and felt that everything was wrong.
In addition to the routine meeting today, there is also a very important ceremony-sacrifice.Although it is not very popular among young people, the old people attach great importance to it.At three o'clock in the afternoon, the gate of the underground ancestral hall opened, and all Jiang's children redressed without makeup and filed in.The old people were already waiting there, and Jiang Yue saw at a glance that the wheelchair old man in the front was his father, Jiang Chaolin.Behind Jiang Chaolin are the current Patriarch Jiang Chaoan and the previous Patriarch Jiang Chaofeng who were elected yesterday.In the history of the Jiang family's patriarchs, almost all served for one term for three years, and at most two terms, they are already very outstanding heirs, and they retired after six years.Only Jiang Chaolin served three consecutive terms and was in power for ten years.His political achievements are unmatched and unprecedented.Even being born with a handicap can't hide his amazing talent. It's a pity that such a proud man has dementia and unconsciousness in his later years.Perhaps because of this, the old people in the Jiang family loved and had high hopes for Jiang Chaolin's eldest son.
Standing behind the crowd, Jiang Yue felt that strange look again.Rumang was on his back, making him very uncomfortable.And since the meeting this morning, Jiang He and Jiang Subaru have been arranged to stay far away from him.It's the same at this moment, when they came in just now, those two people were directly placed in the last row.Diagonally behind, there is Jiang Mo who has a better relationship with him, and everyone drank together last night.But this Jiang Mo was timid.

Jiang Chaofeng walked up to Jiang Chaoan and whispered for a while, Jiang Chaoan nodded, walked to the center of the altar, showed a kind smile, and the restless crowd quieted down.
"Ah Yue, come here." Jiang Chaoan shouted directly.
Everyone looked at Jiang Yue, and the people in front of him slowly backed away, making way for a wide and cold road.
Jiang Yue collected himself and walked towards the altar.On the high platform, the father in the wheelchair showed a loving smile and nodded to him.
"Don't be afraid." Jiang Chaoan stretched out his hand and said in a low voice.
Jiang Yue handed Jiang Chaoan his hand.Jiang Chaoan opened the gate of the glass cabinet and put Jiang Yue's hand in.Jiang Yue had a calm and indifferent face, but only he knew that the back of his shirt was soaked.When his fingers touched a cold and hard blunt instrument, Jiang Yue knew that he had touched the tip of the sword.
"Ah Yue, don't shake." Jiang Chaoan reminded in a low voice.
Jiang Yue didn't dare to vent his anger, and tried his best to restrain the trembling of his right hand.I thought in my heart that it was fortunate that my back was facing the crowd, otherwise people would see his panicked look, which would be bad.
Slowly, Jiang Yue felt a thin stream being sucked out from his fingertips.The sword was indeed sucking his blood!Jiang Yue kept his body upright, staring at his father's eyes on the high platform in front of him flickeringly.
There was a greater commotion behind him than before, and an old man on the high platform stood up, pointing at the glass cabinet with an excited expression.The originally demented old man's eyes flickered, and he patted the armrest of the wheelchair vigorously.
"Can't stop!" Someone yelled.
"It's been sucking!"
"A Yue, take out your hand!" Jiang Chaoan suddenly changed his expression and said hurriedly.
Jiang Yue's face changed slightly, "I can't take it out."
The entire glass cabinet was bursting with red light, which was many times stronger than Jiang Chaoan's red light before.The monster sucked his entire palm, as if to drain his blood.Jiang Chao'an tugged, but didn't move.Jiang Chaofeng and several middle-aged men rushed up to the altar, and everyone pulled them together.There was chaos on the altar, and Jiang Yue himself used his strength. He had a strong intuition, and his survival instinct made him shout: "Take the knife! Cut it down!"
At this moment, Jiang Yue suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a force surged out, climbed up his arms along his chest, and went straight into the glass cabinet.
With a loud bang, the glass case burst open.The Patriarch Excalibur glowed brightly red, trembling and trembling.
Everyone took a few steps back and stabilized in danger.An elder rushed forward, pressed a mechanism, and several wooden talisman wedges fell from the sky, stuck on the body of the Excalibur.Jiang Chaoan pulled the red cloth on the side and covered it, but the divine sword was still trembling all over, and it took a full ten seconds to stop.
The Jiang family's disciples had already retreated to the gate of the ancestral hall, they were all shocked by this strange scene and could not speak.Several elders walked over to comfort them and told them to leave first.
"Ayue, are you alright?" Jiang Chaofeng helped Jiang Yue who fell to the ground in confusion just now, raised his arm to look, and saw a red blood line appeared on the five fingers of Jiang Yue's right hand, running along the finger Merge into a strange symbol in the palm of your hand.
"Third uncle, what is this?" Jiang Yue asked in panic.
Jiang Chaofeng looked serious, "Let's bandage it up first."
The old people on the stage whispered to each other, as if they were arguing.When Jiang Yue was helped out of the underground ancestral hall, his face was pale and his footsteps were a little vain.
"Brother Yue!"
"elder brother!"
Jiang Subaru, Julian and Jiang Mo rushed forward and supported Jiang Yue.
"Brother, are you okay?" Julian saw Jiang Yue's hand wrapped in white cloth, and his voice broke directly: "What the hell is this? Why did they let you do this? Aren't they afraid of your death?"
"Get in the car first! Let's go back first!" Jiang Subaru said, helping Jiang Yue into the car with Jiang Mo.
When he returned to his son's apartment, Jiang Yue had almost stabilized.Without being helped, he got out of the car by himself.As soon as he stepped out of the car door, a white shadow swayed in front of his eyes and grabbed his arm.
"Jiang Yue!" a worried voice.
Jiang Yue raised his head and saw that it was Yu Xiu.It's just that Yu Xiu didn't know what happened, and his face was pale, not much better than him.Yu Xiu looked at his hands, wrinkled his face, feeling extremely distressed.
"I'm fine, just got a little injury." Yu Xiu probably overheard those people's nonsense just after they came back, and Yu Xiu got scared like this.
Yu Xiu didn't say anything, and dragged Jiang Yue back to the house, insisting on letting him sleep.Jiang Yue originally wanted to ask Jiang Subaru something about them, but he was a little unsteady by the sudden shock, so he obediently fell asleep.
Jiang Yue fell asleep, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed.There was no one in the room, Jiang Yue sat up, thinking of the terrifying altar during the day, he immediately raised his palm to check.The hand no longer hurts, Jiang Yue squeezed it strangely, feeling that something was wrong, and when he took off the gauze, there was nothing on the palm of his hand!
What about the wound?Healed?impossible!Jiang Yue looked at the time and found that he had slept for three hours at most.Or is everything that happened today a wild dream? !
Just then, someone opened the door and came in.Jiang Yue subconsciously wrapped the gauze back quickly, and lay back on the bed in shock.
"Xiao Yue, are you awake?" It was Bai Danhan who brought over the food.
Jiang Yue nodded, opened his mouth and asked, "Where's Yu Xiu?"
As soon as he woke up, he looked for Yu Xiu, which surprised even himself.Bai Danhan was taken aback, put the porridge beside him, moved a chair and sat down in front of the bed.
"Yu Xiu is sleeping, Xiao Yue, you really can't leave him for a moment now." Bai Danhan joked.
Jiang Yue lowered his head and said nothing.
Bai Danhan said, "Xiao Yue, it's time to change the medicine."
Only then did Jiang Yue see that she had brought the medicine box over.
"No, no need. I don't want to change it yet." Jiang Yue said, hiding his right hand in the quilt.
Bai Danhan saw it, and couldn't hold back the smile on his face, "Xiao Yue, do you mean that Xiu came to change your medicine? I'll call him."
Stand up while speaking.
"No——" Jiang Yue stretched out his hand to hold her, Bai Dan took a bite, Jiang Yue quickly let go of his hand, and said awkwardly: "No, I don't want to change the medicine. Sister Bai, sit down, let's talk. "
Bai Danhan sat down again, bowed his head and smiled, looked at his hands, his voice trembling slightly: "I thought you would never talk to me again."
"Why? What are you thinking?" Jiang Yue was a little annoyed at this moment, his mind was full of what happened during the day, as well as the strange eyes of the people around him, and the faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
"Xiao Yue, what are you worried about?" Bai Danhan asked suddenly.
Only then did Jiang Yue realize that he had shown his emotions on his face, and frowned slightly, "Sister Bai, don't think too much, I'm not targeting you."
Bai Danhan smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I know. I heard they said that it seemed very dangerous to be in the ancestral hall today. I, I don't know what happened. But you must be very tired these two days, last night If something like that happened to Jiang Huai again, you must be very stressed..."
"What happened to Jiang Huai?!" Jiang Yue asked suddenly.
"Ah, haven't they told you yet? That's right, you were drunk last night, and you've been in meetings today..."
"Tell me what happened to Jiang Huai?" Jiang Yue asked anxiously.
"Jiang Huai...he..." Bai Danhan seemed a little at a loss for what to say, "When we went down from the bar last night, he insisted on taking the stairs. But when he got to the stairs, he suddenly went crazy. They said that he seemed to be frightened by something, and he was holding the window and refused to take a step downstairs. He kept saying 'I'm sorry', and hit his head against the wall, bleeding from the impact. People around him thought he was drunk Going drunk, went up to pull him, but Jiang Huai suddenly became very strong, he pushed away the person who was pulling him, and fell out of the window..."
Jiang Yue was stiff and did not move.
Bai Danhan said: "I was sent to the hospital last night. She didn't seem to be dead. News came this afternoon that Jiang Huai had come to her senses, but she was paraplegic and could only spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair... Jiang Huai Huai was only 32 years old and not yet married. How could he bear such a result, and he wanted to die. Uncle Seven was furious and ordered to call out all the surveillance cameras last night. He said that Jiang Huai was being punished... But the fact is that Jiang Huai went crazy by himself, and it was clear from the monitoring that he jumped off by himself at that time. Because Jiang Huai kept saying sorry, everyone guessed that he was apologizing to you, and Uncle Qi said that this matter has something to do with you ...But cousin and the others have already come forward, so no one is allowed to mention this matter again."
After Bai Danhan finished speaking, there was still something in his heart that he didn't dare to say: An ordinary adult man jumping from the second floor would at most have a broken bone.Jiang Huai is still a martial arts practitioner, with strong physical strength, but he turned out to be a high paraplegia.People said behind their backs that Jiang Huai was pulled down by something——
Jiang Yue is the destined person, Jiang Huai offended Jiang Yue, Excalibur was furious, and punished Jiang Huai.
I don't know why one night passed, but everyone in the Jiang family was spreading such rumors.Of course, Bai Danhan would not tell Jiang Yue such nonsense, and no one dared to tell Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue remained unresponsive.He didn't look like he wanted to talk to her, so Bai Danhan planned to leave.
"Where is Yu Xiu?" Jiang Yue asked suddenly.
Bai Danhan was taken aback, "He's sleeping."
"No, I'm asking where Yu Xiu was when Jiang Huai had an accident last night?"
"Last night..." Bai Danhan thought about it for a moment, "Yu Xiu said he was going to the bathroom when everyone was leaving last night, and asked Rize and Xiaohe to take you down first. After we went downstairs, we saw that something happened to Jiang Huai After a while, Yu Xiu came down."
Speaking of this, Bai Danhan looked at Jiang Yue's face and paused, "Xiao Yue, Jiang Huai jumped off by himself in the surveillance, and no one pushed him. And at that time, there was no one else around him except his confidant. You ...don't overthink it."
Jiang Yue smiled, "No, I'm just curious. Thank you, Sister Bai."
These two matters were strongly suppressed by the elders of the clan, and no one dared to mention them again.Time flies, and soon, this year's family meeting is drawing to a close.As soon as Jiang Yue came back that day, he received a letter from the outside world.
"Dear Major, the sample of the ring you asked me to help design has come out, and I have modified it according to your suggestion last time. I hope you are satisfied." —— Signed by the famous German designer Teresa.
Jiang Yue unfolded the drawing and held it up in the air to watch.Above are two exquisite men's couple rings. The totem patterns are very meaningful and have been changed no less than ten times.
"Xiao Yue, what is this?" A gentle female voice came from behind.Since the last conversation, Jiang Yue thought it was not good to be too indifferent to Bai Danhan, so he talked to her more often, and the two warmed up again.
"Is this the ring you and Yu Xiu got?" Bai Dan took the blueprint with a smile.Jiang Yue told Bai Danhan about the ring, and took some of her opinions.
Jiang Yue nodded, picked up the coffee that Bai Danhan brought over just now, and took a sip.The sun shines down from the flower gallery above and falls on the elegant and chic desk, which is peaceful and serene.
"You really don't want to discuss it with Yu Xiu?"
"He said he likes everything I like, and I want to give him a surprise." Jiang Yue looked up at a small white flower blooming in the wind on the white stone pillar, showing a smile.
"It was said that Yu Xiu went back to his hometown for the New Year, when will he come back?"
"Hurry up." Jiang Yue murmured.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Julian's cheerful voice behind me: "Brother~~~~~Look who is here~~~"
Jiang Yue didn't look back, Bai Dan said with a smile: "Really, Cao Cao will be there when you say Cao Cao."
Thinking of Jiang Yue's surprise, she quickly hid the drawings under the documents on the desk.Gently pushed Jiang Yue, "I'll go first."
Turned around and left.
In the eyes of Julian and Yu Xiu who were approaching from a distance, this scene looked a bit like the ambiguous actions of young men and women.Julian was taken aback for a moment, and then he didn't think too much, and pushed Yu Xiu: "Go Pikachu~~!"
Yu Xiu walked over with no expression on his face, put the basket in his hand on the desk, and glanced coldly at the documents that had just been hidden by Bai Danhan.
Jiang Yue turned around, with a smile on his lips, and poked at the beautifully wrapped basket: "Auntie asked you to bring me something again. What is it?"
"Look for yourself." Yu Xiu said, pulled the wicker chair and sat under the stone pillar to bask in the sun.
Jiang Yue put down the coffee, opened the package and saw that there were pieces of cute and exquisite egg tarts.Tried one and it tasted pretty good.Jiang Yue took one in his mouth and lowered his head to Yu Xiu's mouth.Yu Xiu closed his eyes and hid for a while, then opened them suddenly, his amber pupils merged into a flame-like pattern under the sun.
Jiang Yue blocked the egg tart, but Yu Xiu couldn't hide from the left and right, so he opened his mouth to greet him.The egg tarts disappeared between the lips and teeth of the two of them. Jiang Yue propped his hands on both sides of the rattan chair and said with a smile, "Yu Xiu, are you jealous?"
Yu Xiu was silent.
Jiang Yue: "You have been away for half a month, have you ever thought about my feelings?"
Yu Xiu turned his face away, his throat moved, and the tip of his nose was slightly red.
"I've only been away for half a month, and you're flirting with others; if I've been away for half a year, will you find another new love? If I've been away for a year, will you completely forget me?"
He sent out this question, but did not get an answer from Jiang Yue.Yu Xiu was startled and furious, and turned his head to stare at Jiang Yue.But I saw Jiang Yue's deep and steady eyes, which seemed calm and calm, but actually contained turbulent waves.
"Why did you leave me?" Jiang Yue asked in a deep voice.
His eyes were extremely oppressive, Yu Xiu's eyes trembled, and he looked away: "I'm just making an analogy, don't change the subject."
Jiang Yue suddenly grasped Yu Xiu's arm with astonishing strength, and Yu Xiu felt a little painful when he pinched it.
"Yu Xiu, did I tell you? I can give you whatever you want. I can do it. As long as you want, I will be yours for the rest of my life. What else are you not satisfied with?"
Yu Xiu met Jiang Yue's eyes: "How can one life be enough? What I want is life after life. Can you do it?"
Jiang Yue was startled first, then laughed.He laughed for a long time, let go of Yu Xiu's arm, and said, "It's over, Yu Xiu, stop making trouble. Can't we live a good life?"
He gently held Yu Xiu's shoulder, and said seriously: "Don't worry, no one will stop us in the future. My mother said that as long as I study hard and succeed as the head of the family in three years, I can be with whoever I want to be with." Who is together. Yu Xiu, I promise you, I give you this promise: as long as I am still alive, I will only belong to you in this life."
But Yu Xiu asked: "Then are you willing to stay with me forever?"
Jiang Yue nodded reassuringly, held him in his arms, and sighed: "Of course, if there is an afterlife. But let's live this life well first? Although I promised you, this is a matter between two people , We need to work together to achieve it. Now I am willing to do my best to fulfill this promise for you, you know that I always keep my word. You should believe me. "
In fact, Jiang Yue didn't believe in past and present lives in his heart, and he thought Yu Xiu was a little dazed.But when he thought that Yu Xiu had become like this for himself, he felt infinite pity in his heart.No matter what Yu Xiu becomes, he is his person, and he will treat him well, satisfy him, and make him happy.
After getting Jiang Yue's answer, Yu Xiu finally smiled.Leaning in Jiang Yue's arms, he narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the sun slowly sinking from the sky.
"Jiang Yue, you said that you will give me whatever I want, right?"
"En." Jiang Yue nodded and asked, "What do you want?"
"I want you to play a game with me, there is only one rule: you have to trust me unconditionally. Can you do it?"
"Yes." Jiang Yue thought for a while and asked, "But what is the purpose of the game?"
"The purpose is..." Yu Xiu's voice seemed to be falling asleep, a little lazy, as if he was joking with Jiang Yue: "The purpose is what you just said, in order to fulfill our common promise... life after life together."
Jiang Yue smiled helplessly, and said in his heart that Yu Xiu was childish, but said, "Okay. When will it start?"
"I'll let you know." Yu Xiu murmured, "I will decide when the game starts and ends."
"Okay." Jiang Yue said with a smile: "I listen to you in everything, who made you my wife."
Yu Xiu lowered his eyes and curled the corners of his lips.
Jiang Yue, the game has already started.
