Hush!secret

In the winter morning, the sky was still gray, Bai Ling got up early, and when passing the garden, her gaze involuntarily turned to the small western-style building deep in the cobblestone path. After thinking about it, she went to the kitchen to bring a breakfast and entered the western-style building .

The room was quiet and dimly lit.As soon as Bai Ling walked in, he saw a shrine placed at the door, and an iron can was placed in the middle of the shrine, which looked gloomy, and Bai Ling would be terrified every time he saw it.

"Second Grandpa, I'm bringing you breakfast." Bai Ling put the plate on the table, and at the other end by the window, Old Man Shang was resting with his eyes closed.

Bai Ling glanced in the direction of Mr. Shang. She had always been respectful and afraid of this second grandfather. After her parents passed away, only the merchant offered her a helping hand to adopt her. She should be very close to Mr. Shang, but Mr. Shang He is a person who likes to be quiet, he is obviously in the business, he stays in the innermost part of the garden all day long, he doesn't go anywhere, at most he walks two steps behind the mountain, he rarely goes outside to chat with them, and rarely interacts with outsiders.

Bai Ling didn't like the small house deep in the garden. Every time she walked into it, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her hands and feet became cold.

I don't know if it has something to do with the living soul in this room.

Bai Ling also knew that the senior who had struggled desperately to escape from the illusion many years ago and was revered at the Red Gate was in this room.

"En." Old Master Shang slowly opened his eyes, "Why do you get up so early today?"

"I don't stay in bed every day. I have social practice today, so I got up early, thinking that you haven't eaten breakfast yet!" Bai Ling said with a smile, "I'm leaving." After Bai Ling finished speaking Turning around to leave, he was stopped within a few steps of walking out.

"Lingling!"

Bai Ling turned to look at Old Man Shang in doubt: "Second Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Looking at the haggard eyes on the weather-beaten face of the old man, the eyes were very sharp. He asked slowly, "Is there anything strange about it recently?"

Bai Ling couldn't figure it out: "No!"

"Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Bai Ling subconsciously denied it: "I'm fine, I'm not uncomfortable." When he said this, Bai Ling touched the lower part of the back of his neck.

An occasional tingling in the neck should be fine, right?

Old Master Shang stared at her for a while, then let her go out.

When walking out of the bungalow, Bai Ling felt inexplicably cold, shivering all over, and took a few steps outside. After the sun shone on her body, she immediately felt much more comfortable. She didn't take it seriously, but just pouted, The feeling of dislike for this house deep in the garden increased a little.

Bai Ling walked back to the living room, looked towards Chu Rui's room, hesitated for a few seconds, knocked on the door and was about to go in and call Chu Rui to get up.

The door opened, and the quilt was neatly folded.The bed was no longer warm, and it seemed that people had left long ago.

"Where have you been?"

In the morning, before the dew drops from the branches, the old street is already bustling with activity.

The early morning shop next to the university, today is the weekend, there are not many people, even so, there is still a long queue for selling fried rice at the small window at the door.

Chu Rui sat inside, silently took out a tissue to wipe the table, and obediently waited for Shang Zhongli to come in.

"Here, No. 184, your noodles and steamed buns." The waiter said as he served the dishes on the table.

Chu Rui thought it was over when two plates were served, and was about to thank her when the waiter was still putting them on the table.

"Your small wontons, crab roe soup dumplings, and red bean cakes."

Chu Rui: "."

"Your sugar porridge, red bean balls, and pot stickers."

Chu Rui: "."

Feeling more and more eyes looking around, Chu Rui flushed with embarrassment: "Isn't it over yet?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment: "There are also fried dumplings, all ready!"

After speaking, the waiter's cart was empty, but the table was full.

Chu Rui: "."

The old lady on the opposite side smiled like a flower: "Young man, you look thin, but you have such a big appetite? There are so many, you eat alone?"

Chu Rui really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but he waved his hand jerky and was about to explain, when Shang Zhongli came late with a plate of fried rice.

"A Rui, you must try this fried pancake. Absolutely. It's a time-honored brand. It's hard to buy. There's a long queue every day. It's just a coincidence that there aren't so many people today." Shang Zhongli was furious. Sitting down, the old aunt began to look at Shang Zhongli, and the other aunt at her table also looked inquiringly.

"The boy is so handsome."

"Is there a partner?"

Why is this sentence so similar to the feeling of "the mother-in-law sees the son-in-law, and she sees her right".Chu Rui saw that Shang Zhongli blinked his eyes, opened his lips lightly, and the alarm bell in his head was loud. He was about to stop Shang Zhongli's next words, but he didn't stop him. Shang Zhongli had already spoken frankly : "Yes, Auntie, here it is!"

Terrible!

Where is the seam?Let him get in!

Chu Rui was fidgeting, the indifference he expected did not appear, the two aunts smiled, their faces were kind, and they gave a thumbs up.

"It's a good match! It's a good match!"

Chu Rui's heart shrank slightly, and when he raised his head, Shang Zhongli was grinning at the corner of his mouth: "That's it!"

Chu Rui breathed a sigh of relief.It may be the reason why the glasses were taken off. In the past, he used the glasses to close himself, and when he took them off for a while, he felt that his true self could not be hidden. However, the world was not as scary as he imagined.

The table is steaming hot, just like Chu Rui's heart, the world is not only dark, but also has a lot of goodwill and beauty. In the past, he always shut himself in his own world. Maybe he can take this opportunity to go out and meet people more.

Shang Zhongli ordered a lot of dishes, it was really difficult to choose which one to order.

"Why did you order so many things?"

Shang Zhongli glanced: "Is there a lot?" He patted his chest, "Don't worry, I'm sure I can finish it all!"

Chu Rui glanced at him helplessly.

Shang Zhongli touched his nose: "Actually, I just want you to have a taste of each one."

Chu Rui was slightly stunned.

"I like it very much, I want you to try it."

It was a very simple sentence, but Chu Rui felt a sour taste on the tip of her nose: "How do you know that there is such a shop hidden in the alley? Did you often come here before?" It is rare to see this kind of breakfast shop now. And judging by Shang Zhongli's familiar appearance, he should have come here often before.

"When I was in elementary school, my dad often took me here for breakfast, and I came here several times when I was in middle school." Shang Zhongli said in a calm tone without any fluctuations.

"Your father?" Chu Rui had never heard Shang Zhongli mention it.

"Yes." Shang Zhongli took a piece of fried rice and put it in Chu Rui's bowl, "Eat raw fried rice while it's hot!"

Chu Rui knew that Shang Zhongli was changing the subject. Since the mention of his father made him unhappy, Chu Rui didn't mean to ask the bottom line. .

"It's delicious!" Chu Rui said sincerely. It was indeed the first time for him to eat breakfast in a breakfast shop. Maybe he had it before, maybe when he was very young, when his parents hadn't passed away, they brought him breakfast. I have been there.

Shang Zhongli stared intently at the way Chu Rui was eating. Chu Rui was very gentle when eating.He felt comfortable physically and mentally just looking at it like this, and when he didn't notice, the corners of his mouth involuntarily drew a beautiful arc.

"The people selected by each generation of Hongmen are all in their 40s and [-]s, and they are all experienced and capable people who are among the best of their generation."

Chu Rui, who was eating, didn't take a bite, and raised her head to look at Shang Zhongli.

40. At [-] years old, why is Shang Zhongli so young?

Reminiscent of Shang Zhongli's avoidance of talking about his parents, Chu Rui had a terrible thought.

That's right, so Shang Zhongli went out alone to experience a narrow escape before he was twenty, so even in "A Dream of Yellow Liang", he never had a desire for family affection, because he had already given up, and the indifference of relatives was worse than cold The sharp blade of the arrow also pierces the heart.

He thought that Shang Zhongli shouldered heavy responsibilities in his twenties, and fighting alone was enough to make people feel distressed, but he never expected that in fact, he didn't have to bear these at all, but he had to wipe away after accepting the betrayal of his relatives earlier. Dry your tears to make yourself mature and let your shoulders carry the huge mountain tripod.

Shang Zhongli knew that Chu Rui was smart, he must have thought of the reason why he was sent to the illusion in his early twenties.He jokingly picked up the sugar porridge and handed it to Chu Rui: "A Rui, try this, his home is the best, with a faint osmanthus flavor."

Chu Rui scooped up a bowl of sugar porridge and brought it to her mouth, pursing her thin lips lightly.

"so bitter."

"Ah?" Shang Zhongli was stunned.

bitter?How is it possible, this is sugar porridge, it's fine if others don't find it sweet after eating it, it's absolutely impossible to find it bitter.

Shang Zhongli picked up a spoon and took a spoonful to his mouth. The taste was sweet and greasy: "It's not bitter." He realized later what the bitterness in Chu Rui's mouth meant, and he froze for a moment.

With mixed feelings, Shang Zhongli scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Chu Rui. Chu Rui ate the sugar porridge he fed and looked at him with grievances in his eyes.

Shang Zhongli's Adam's apple twitched, and asked softly, "Is it still bitter?"

Chu Rui shook her head first, then rolled her lips and looked at him deeply: "It's not bitter anymore."

Shang Zhongli's eyes were hot: "I think it's a bit bitter, why don't you feed me too?"

Not long after, he heard Chu Rui say "OK".

"Shall we go back after eating?"

"How come, I will take you to play in the afternoon, and go back after having fun!"

"Okay!"

"A Rui, I want to eat dumpling, it's too far away, I can't reach it."

A couple at the next table, the girl stared darkly at her boyfriend who was devouring the meal and didn't raise her head the whole time.

Looking at other couples, they are much more reliable than her boyfriend. Although the next door is a man and a man, but at a close look, they are couples in love. On the contrary, she and her boyfriend are like a pair of good brothers!

The more you think, the more angry you are.

"Eat, eat, eat, you and your bun!" The girl angrily threw her bag and left.

The boyfriend still had half a bun in his mouth, and he was dumbfounded. He didn't understand why his girlfriend suddenly got angry?

Because of buns?
