chance world

"I won't go to your house, I'll go to the hotel by myself." The old man said bluntly.

"Huh? What kind of inn are you staying in? My family has a place to live." Ding Qiyu was puzzled.

"Tsk, it's so inconvenient to live at your house, I don't want to go." The old man said, pointing to a passing inn, "I'm staying here." He jumped out of the carriage after speaking.

Ding Qiyu hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car, jumped out of the car and chased after him for a long time to no avail, so he had to tell the old man the address of his home so that he could come to him whenever he needed something.

Parting from the old man, Ding Qiyu sat in a carriage and went back to the door of the house where he had been away for nearly half a year, paid the money and sent the carriage away, subconsciously turned his head to look at the solemn general's mansion gate not far away, adjusted his mood for a moment, and put on a joyful smile , just knocked on the door of the house, not wanting to bring my negative emotions to the long-lost family members.

Soon, there was a response from the door. I thought it would be the nursing home arranged by Brother Weiming to answer the door, but I didn't want to hear Lian Er's long-lost voice: "Yes, who is it?" The voice was cautious and implied With vague expectations.

This time Ding Qiyu showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, and said in a thick voice on purpose: "Ahem, it's the Great Demon King who only eats crybabys."

The door opened from the inside in an instant, before Ding Qiyu could react, a soft and fragrant man had already thrown himself into her arms, he quickly stretched out his hand to protect the man who rushed up regardless, and then looked up at the aunt who also came out to pick her up Greeting, "Aniang, I'm back."

Feeling the person in his arms sobbing softly, Ding Qiyu's heart was extremely soft, and he said dotingly: "Why is the little crying ghost crying again? If you cry again, you will be eaten by the devil."

Lian'er stopped crying a little bit, sobbed and buried her head in Ding Qiyu's arms, reluctant to come out, her breath was filled with the smell of Ayu, the smell that she had missed for a long time and that moved her heart.

"I'm back, it's good to be back." Aunt He's eyes were also red, she stepped forward and raised her hand to touch Ding Qiyu's face, and said lovingly, "It seems to have lost a lot of weight."

Ding Qiyu was a little embarrassed: "No, no, it must be an illusion."

The person in the arms finally raised his head, observed carefully and came to the conclusion: "I just lost weight, I must not have eaten well outside..." The tone was full of distress and unhappiness, "Starting today, I will take you Bring it back."

When Ding Qiyu heard this, he felt guilty, thinking: What if I have to leave again in a few days... She really doesn't know how to tell them about this.

Half-supporting and half-embracing the person who was stuck in his arms, he followed A Niang into the house.

The three of them sat in the main hall and chatted about Ding Qiyu's life in the academy, and the family returned to the happy life of half a year ago, and Ding Qiyu finally had the delicious meal that she had missed for a long time.After eating, Ding Qiyu hesitated for a while when he saw Lian Er went to tidy up the kitchen. Instead of helping, he took A Niang to her bedroom and closed the door, wanting to tell A Niang that he was going to leave again.

Ding Qiyu moved a small bench and sat beside A Niang's lap, sighed and raised his head, "A Niang, I have something to tell you."

Aunt He saw that Ding Qiyu was so serious, she didn't know what to hear, she was a little worried: "Well, tell me, mother listen."

"I... hey..." Ding Qiyu's heart thumped, "That's right, I'll probably leave again in a few days."

"Leaving again? Where are you going? Isn't the academy only for the first half a year?" Aunt He asked in shock.

Ding Qiyu explained hesitantly: "It's not going to the academy. Yes, it's going to Jiangnan."

"Jiangnan! Why do you want to go to Jiangnan? Is it an errand arranged by the General's Mansion?" Aunt He unconsciously held Ding Qiyu's hand, a little anxious. Why did this child just come back and leave again? Or go to a place so far away in Jiangnan !

"No, no, I'm looking for a senior to learn ingenuity." Ding Qiyu held A Niang's hand and explained, "I also want to go out and start my own business."

Aunt He heard that the errands sent by the general's mansion can be persuaded as appropriate, but she has no reason to interfere with the matter related to the "mechanism" that the child is pursuing. She felt a little uncomfortable and asked: "Then, how about After leaving Jiangnan, how long will it take to come back..."

Ding Qiyu shook his head, feeling more and more guilty: "I don't know... But I will send letters home from time to time to let you know my whereabouts and my life. This time is different from the academy, no one is in charge of me, I am I'm free, and I can come back anytime." She was also reluctant to leave home and her family, but she really wanted to find Senior Yan Huaike, and even if she couldn't find it, she could see more of the outside world this time. , Create another career.Not willing to be so mediocre, while A Niang is not too old, I should go to work hard and create a better life for them.And...Although Ding Qiyu didn't want to mention it, there was actually another factor that caused her to want to leave temporarily. That was the loss of Weixi. Ding Qiyu didn't dare to face this cruel fact, and wanted to escape from Xingcheng to relax .

After listening to Ding Qiyu's words, Aunt He really wanted to say that the whole family would go together, but then she was afraid that she and her daughter would only be a burden on Ayu's pursuit of his ideal, so she held back her mouth, not knowing how to answer, when she heard a voice coming from the door. There was a sound of panicked footsteps, and he fled away.Know who it is without thinking.

Lian Er wanted to ask where the clothes Ding Qiyu had brought back were put. After tidying up the kitchen, she could wash clothes for A Yu. Who knew that there were no two people in the main hall. She just walked to the door of the room and was about to knock when she heard Ayu said that he was leaving again, so he couldn't help but eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, and the more he listened, the more he couldn't accept it, so he ran back to his room.

Ding Qiyu and Mrs. He looked at each other and sighed: "Hey... I wanted Auntie to tell her, but now I heard it directly."

Aunt He was worried: "Ayu, do you know that Lian'er..."

Ding Qiyu didn't care about what A Niang said, stood up, and said with some distress: "The little crybaby is definitely going to cry again, I'll go and persuade her." After saying that, he left A Niang's room and went to the other side of the main hall. In my son's room, I feel a little heavy.

After knocking twice, Lian Er didn't hide on the bed and cry as Ding Qiyu imagined, but stood with her back to the door, her shoulders trembling, as if she was waiting for Ding Qiyu's arrival.When she heard the sound of the door being pushed, she turned around, her face was already stained with tears, and she asked, "Ayu, are you leaving again?" The voice was very soft, and it could be heard that she was suppressing her emotions.

Seeing her like this, Ding Qiyu felt a sudden pain in his heart, he was so uncomfortable and guilty that he couldn't add more, but he could only nod mercilessly and affirmed: "Mmm..."

"When... when?" Lian'er's voice trembled.

Ding Qiyu suppressed his distress, took two steps closer and said frankly: "I haven't made a plan yet, but it's just these few days..."

"Can you bring me and A Niang along..." Lian Er asked in a tearful voice.

"Then how can it be?" Ding Qiyu immediately rejected Lian'er's request.It's not that she never thought about taking her family out together, but after leaving Xingcheng, she would live a life of nowhere, so how could she bear to let the two of them suffer along with her, "Auntie is getting old and can't stand such a torment... "Ding Qiyu could only move out A Niang to make Lian Er give up this idea.

"Why...why..." Lian'er lowered her head, took two steps back to distance herself from Ding Qiyu, choked up and murmured, "But, but do you know, this...so I will..." I can't bear it, I don't want to just get together separate immediately...

Ding Qiyu frowned, stepped forward and took the crying girl into his arms, stroked her back, and comforted her guiltily: "I'm sorry...but, I have to leave...If it goes well, it won't take long Yes. I want to go out and see the world, and then start a career, so that our family can live a better life."

Helplessness and despair struck, Lian'er knew that no matter how reluctant she was, Ayu would leave.Thinking of A Yu's sacrifice to save Miss Lu, Lian'er suddenly wanted to muster up the courage to speak out her feelings for A Yu boldly. She took a deep breath, looked up at Ding Qiyu in front of her, and said, "But I don't want to What better life, I just want, I just want Ah Yu..."

Ding Qiyu's heart trembled suddenly when he heard the words, he lowered his head in astonishment and met Shang Lian'er's tearful but extremely serious eyes, which contained the girl's youthful but sincere and pure affection, this was the first time Ding Qiyu was sincere. clearly distinguish.Affirming that he understood correctly, Ding Qiyu was extremely shocked. When did Lian Er have such feelings for him?This made her a little bit at a loss, she couldn't help but stumbled and said: "Lian'er...you..." But she didn't know what to say, and her posture at the moment became ambiguous because of that confession, Ding Qiyu exerted a little force on his arm, trying to get along with her The girl in his arms parted a little.

Feeling Ding Qiyu's movements, Lian'er felt a deep bitterness in her heart, and she no longer clinged to Ding Qiyu's arms, but withdrew by herself, her tear-stained face was extremely serious, and she bravely admitted: "Yes. , Ayu, I like you." The bitterness in her heart gushed out as the shocked expression on Ding Qiyu's face expanded, but Lian'er continued stubbornly, "I've loved you for a long, long time..." The sadness and grievance in her heart already made her choke up endlessly.

Ding Qiyu was really taken aback by this news. She always regarded Lian Er as her family member and her younger sister, and never thought about it at all. Even if she occasionally had some unreasonable evil thoughts, she immediately cut them off.I didn't expect this girl to have such affection for her... All of a sudden, thousands of thoughts rushed to her heart, which made Ding Qiyu, who was already emotionally fragile because of Weixi's incident, completely messed up.She was silent for a while, clenched her fists, raised her head desperately and said, "Then what if I say that I am not a man, but just like you, a woman?"

"You, what did you say?" Lian'er thought she had heard wrong.

Lian'er's expression once again hurt the wound that Ding Qiyu had deliberately ignored for the past few days but hadn't healed: "I said, I'm a woman. When I met A Niang, she mistook me, and I made the mistake. Didn't explain it... So, I'm a woman, a woman..." Ding Qiyu was already exhausted, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Lian'er could think of thousands of reasons for being rejected by A Yu, but she never guessed this one. Ding Qiyu's serious and sad expression proved that she was not lying. Lian'er was stunned as if struck by lightning. on the spot.

Ding Qiyu caught her expression in his eyes, twitched the corners of his lips, turned around and left Lianer's room, ran back to his own room, fell down on the wooden chair as if exhausted, and pinched the front of his chest, trying to ease the pain in his heart. pain.What they like is just a phantom of a man, not the real self at all...Ding Qiyu's eyes gleamed with water, and he stared at the cold moon outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
