The heart of the pretender is sincere

It was already afternoon when she came back from Suzhou. Lingxi stood in the living room and looked at the empty Ming mansion. No one could hear the echo when she walked, and the loneliness in her heart surged up again in an instant, as if she was about to Submerged her whole body.Lingxi went back to her room and changed into her pajamas to go to sleep. She covered herself from head to toe with a quilt. During these two days every year, she would suffer from discomfort and headaches, but there was no way to relieve them. Enough.

Just sleeping is doomed not to escape the nightmare, the dream is still the familiar scene, there is no way to save the scene of the car accident over and over again, I can only watch the reincarnation again and again after the incident happened, in the dream she I seemed to be divided into two people, one was crying wantonly because he couldn't be rescued in the samsara and continued to try to save it, the other was standing by the side and indifferently counting how many times he had been reincarnated this time until he was exhausted. Must be able to wake up from the dream.

However, this time was different from the past. The faint sound of quarreling in the living room woke Lingxi from her dream. She grabbed the quilt and covered her head to block the noise, but the sound of quarreling outside became more and more loud. The bigness has reached a level that cannot be ignored, no matter how tightly she wraps herself up, she still can't get rid of the sweat all over her body. She rubbed her temples and opened her eyes helplessly. She looked at her watch and now it is [-] o'clock in the afternoon and she has fallen asleep. After more than two hours, she took her coat and wrapped it around her body and decided to go to the living room to have a look.

The three brothers of the Ming family were in a corner in the living room. Ah Cheng and Ming Tai each had a gun in their hands. Ah Cheng was facing Ming Tai, and Ming Tai was facing Ming Lou. The three of them would dare to shoot or not. Putting down the gun, there was a tongue-twister rap, and then Mingtai fired a shot at Minglou's ear, hitting the oil painting on the wall of the living room with a bang, the oil painting fell off and hit the ground with a bang, the glass shattered Lingxi was startled all over the place.

The three brothers were only focused on arguing, and no one seemed to notice Lingxi's existence. Lingxi didn't have much strength now, so she just sat on the stairs. If she had another piece of melon in her hand, she would be a standard melon-eating crowd Looking at Minglou and Mingtai fighting in the living room like this.

After all, Minglou is the eldest brother, so he handed over Mingtai's gun to Ah Cheng in two or three strokes. Without the dangerous weapon, the two began to compete in pure force. In the beginning, Mingtai was able to fight Minglou one by one. The movements are neat and simple, and the moves are beautiful and in place. In the end, it may be that the regular style of play is useless at the elder brother's place, so he started to smash things. A pot of green plants was brought out, and when everything was about to fall, the two simply wrestled together, cutting off each other's head with their feet, neither of them would admit defeat, seeing how similar the moves were, I felt that the two should It's from the same family.

"I have my last resort!"

"If you have a reason, you will force me to death?!"

"Didn't the lunatic teach your boss to be as big as the sky!"

"The telegram I received is Minglou, I am following your orders, sir!"

Lingxi didn't know what happened, but she pieced together a general idea from their words, thinking that the elder brother always acted like a patriarch on weekdays, and the three of them didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the elder brother. Even the elder sister wants to give the elder brother a point or two. Now that she is fighting with Mingtai like a father, she no longer has the majesty of the elder brother like a father, but looks like a wild child outside. Lingxi felt the joy of eating melons, and her mood suddenly changed. Well, all the nightmares and headaches disappeared in no time.

Ah Cheng took two steps back holding the only pot of green plants left to avoid accidental injury, then picked up an apple from the ground, rubbed it on his clothes, and took a bite. He felt that Mingtai martial arts was good. Ah, he was able to barely draw a tie with the big brother, but when he put the green plant in his hand and was about to take another bite, his hand was caught by another pair of slender hands, a fluffy The little head leaned in front of him, and took a big bite of the apple in his hand. Ah Cheng watched Lingxi chew the apple with puffed cheeks, but he didn't let go of his hand, but looked at it seriously. The eldest brother and Mingtai fight.

"You...didn't you go to Suzhou... and came back?! Big Sister and Aunt Gui are back too?!" Ah Cheng was a little terrified, and hurriedly looked around to see if there was anyone else, as if there was only one more soul.

There were too many apples in her mouth, it was inconvenient for Lingxi to speak, she nodded and shook her head at Ah Cheng.

"What do you mean?"

Lingxi tried her best to swallow all the apples in her mouth, "I came back first because I had a headache. Eldest sister and Aunt Gui are still in Suzhou."

At this time, Minglou and Mingtai also heard Lingxi's voice, and the fire that was about to hit the earth was suddenly extinguished, and the two quickly died down and got up from the ground, Minglou even patted himself clothes, preemptive strikes.

"Don't hang out in the living room if you're wearing pajamas and slippers, and your hair is disheveled. Hurry up and change your clothes. Ah Cheng, come with me to the study."

Lingxi wanted to say that you were all scuffling together and how decent I am, but she was so scared that she didn't dare to talk back to her elder brother, so she could only say "Oh" and obediently turned around and went back to change her clothes. Before she left, she didn't forget to take another bite. The apple in Cheng's hand.

Lingxi and Mingtai, who had changed their clothes, were both locked at the door of the study. Mingtai had just had a fight with his elder brother and was dazed. He looked at Lingxi and signaled her to knock on the door.

In the past, Lingxi would not have taken care of Mingtai. She had no interest in her eldest brother's study, but she remembered that she had smelled blood on Ah Cheng just now. Combined with the quarrel between Mingtai and Minglou, She was a little worried.

She knocked on the door twice, "Brother, can I come in?"

"No, you and Mingtai are going to cook." Minglou flatly refused, as soon as he heard it, he knew that there was no room for negotiation!

Lingxi and Mingtai looked at each other and saw the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes, but so what if they were not convinced, neither of them dared to rush in, so they had to obediently obey the elder brother's orders and go to the kitchen to cook, Mingtai Watching Lingxi find a lot of dried peppers from the cupboard, he remembered Ah Cheng's wound.

"Let's make something light, I don't want to eat spicy food recently..." After thinking for a while, he added, "Brother and brother A Cheng also eat light food recently, brother A Cheng has been a little angry recently."

Hearing this, Lingxi was taken aback, she turned her head and looked at Mingtai carefully, there were still traces of a fight on her clothes, "How long have you been back? I don't even know about Brother Ah Cheng getting angry, you just know? "

Mingtai was discouraged again, "I, I just asked for leave to go home because of business, Brother Ah Cheng told me yesterday..."

Lingxi turned around and found another chicken and a piece of pork belly from the kitchen. While cleaning the chicken and meat, she said, "I heard you quarreling with brother, including last time at the Navy Club. I will ask, what I want to tell you is that first of all, I have not joined any party, second I also know the identities of Brother A and Cheng, and third I roughly guessed your identity, so you don’t have to make excuses in front of me to perfuse me , let’s think about how to deal with Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister will come back the day after tomorrow.”

"Oh, I see." When it comes to identity, Mingtai is always proud of being able to contribute to the defense of the country outside, but this identity at home also makes him feel guilty.

"Come on, chop this chicken into pieces, not too big, and don't chop the chicken legs and wings."

"Ah?!" Why are you talking about chicken wings again?

Lingxi looked at him speechlessly, "Ah, what, you don't know how to cook, so it's no problem to chop a chicken, you can't let me, a weak woman, do this."

"Oh." Mingtai thought to himself that you are not a weak woman, you are very good at playing basketball, and you are also very good at talking, but Brother Ah Cheng was injured, so he couldn't say anything more, so he resigned to his fate and went to chop the chicken.

Most of the dinners are light according to Mingtai's requirements. A clear stewed chicken soup, a crystal shrimp, a bean sprouts, and a braised pork are considered heavy.

It's just that Ah Cheng used to sit at the first position on the left of the head of the table when eating, but today he uncharacteristically sat at the first position on the right. No one spoke while eating.

When everyone had finished eating, Lingxi looked at Minglou, "Eldest sister will be back the day after tomorrow, it's best to tidy up those things in the living room as they are, who will buy them?"

Ming Lou put down his job, and subconsciously said, "Let Ah Cheng buy a copy tomorrow."

Lingxi immediately pursed her mouth, she was a little unhappy, "Why did you let Brother Ah Cheng buy it? Mingtai said that Brother Ah Cheng was injured and you still made him work, Huang Shiren and Zhou Papi are nothing more than that. "

For a moment, Minglou and Ah Cheng looked at Mingtai together, almost piercing Mingtai with a knife in their eyes, can this be said to Lingxi?Didn't they agree that the lady at home should not know about the injury?Mingtai was so frightened that the braised pork in his mouth fell back into the bowl, "I don't have it, I didn't say it, she never asked me at all."

Well, it's all a routine, Ah Cheng looked at Lingxi, saw that she was looking at him in disbelief, and comforted him, "I'm fine, just a small injury, don't worry about it."

Lingxi's eyes were a little red, "If I don't find out, are you planning to keep it from me? I've smelled the smell of blood on your body before, and I usually sit across from you when I eat, and today I specially changed it. Sitting on the side, where is your injury, the left arm or the left shoulder can't be the left chest."

Ah Cheng had no choice but to say, "It's really fine. Brother has already stitched up the wound and bandaged it up. It will be healed in a few days."

Hearing the suture, Lingxi was anxious and annoyed, "Is it okay?! If the wound is more than 1cm incision, and the incision tension is relatively high and cannot be closed naturally, stitches are needed. Need stitches? It's not a big deal, is it waiting? To die is a big deal!"

"Okay, you are not allowed to say anything about death or not at home, you two have to quarrel and go back to your room." Minglou interrupted the two of them, got up and went back to his room, but when he came to the door, he turned back to look at Mingtai Said, "Go wash the dishes!"

***

In the room, Ah Cheng and Lingxi were in a confrontational situation. Lingxi wanted to see his wound, so he went to unbutton his shirt. Ah Cheng hurriedly protected his clothes and grabbed both of Lingxi's hands. To prevent her from making any further moves, he pretended to be relaxed and teased, "You are a girl who sees a man's body as inappropriate."

Lingxi struggled for a while but couldn't get away at all, so she could only stare at him, "I've touched it all, there's nothing else I can't see."

These words made Ah Cheng blush a little. He coughed twice in embarrassment, thinking that he had touched everything. After that day, he still felt that his hands were too rough for fear that Lingxi would dislike him in the future. The can of orange-flavored body lotion I was given was found out and applied on my hands, but after only one use, my elder brother and Liang Zhongchun complained about being a woman, and then he gave up. Now Lingxi uses this reason , he suddenly wanted to chop off his hand, "There's really nothing to see, it's all bandaged up, and you can only see bandages now."

Lingxi's eyes had already started to accumulate tears, and her voice was full of tears, "But I want to see it."

Ah Cheng compromised, he let go of his hand, "There is really nothing to see, but you are not allowed to cry when you see it."

Lingxi nodded, and unbuttoned his shirt one by one with trembling hands. Slowly, the bandages under the clothes were exposed. It was true that as he said, only the bandages were worth seeing. She wanted to go up and touch them. I touched her wound, but I was afraid of infection, so I stopped in mid-air, "How did you hurt?"

Ah Cheng went to touch Ling Xi's head, "The bullet pierced the wound, so it's actually not a serious problem, don't worry about it anymore, okay?"

"Then how did you get this injury?" She didn't dare to touch the new wound, and Lingxi's hand touched a scar on his abdomen, which looked like it had been there for many years.

Cheng lowered his head and looked, "This is the first year of entering the army. At that time, I had no experience in performing tasks, so I was scratched. In fact, you can see that the wound is quite long, but at that time, the winter clothes were very thick. It's not very deep, and it's not in the way."

Lingxi didn't like his indifferent attitude very much, as if all the pain was not enough to attract his attention, "I tell you, if you don't protect yourself and let yourself get hurt all the time, in case you die one day I will Be sure to find a new boyfriend right away to ensure a seamless transition."

This made Ah Cheng laugh instead. He wanted to button up his shirt, but because of his left shoulder injury, his hands were not flexible enough, and his movements were very slow, "Then if we get married and I die because of a mission, will you Will not remarry."

Lingxi bowed her head to button him, her voice was full of anger and threats, "Yes, I will remarry before you finish your first seven days, and if you have a child, you will remarry with the child and give the child's surname to you." Change it, absolutely not let the child's surname be Ming!"

Lingxi raised her head and saw that Ah Cheng was still grinning at this moment. She was so angry that she grabbed his hand and slapped him hard, "Don't laugh, what I said But really, I won’t make you a widow, so you must live well, otherwise, when you die, there will be no one who will burn paper for you, and you will be a poor ghost underground!”

Ah Cheng held Lingxi's hand in his palm, "Actually, people like Big Brother and me who pretend to be behind the enemy lines may be found and may die at any time. I shouldn't have feelings, otherwise it will easily drag others down, and it will be difficult for me." It will expose our weaknesses to the enemy. But I can't help being attracted to you. In France, I tried every means to talk to you and ask you for photos. When I returned to China, I also deliberately wanted to be with you. During that time, I felt I'm like a peacock with my tail open, I just want to show you the best of me.

When we are really together, I am very conflicted, should I not pull you into this abyss, should I let go earlier and let you find a safe and stable happiness, even if I want to Send you abroad, after all, the country is too unsafe.But I found that I was very selfish, and I wanted to keep you by my side even more, so I took advantage of the danger and tried my best to leave clues for my eldest sister to find out.

Now you tell me that you won’t be a widow for me. I’m actually very happy. From now on, it doesn’t matter if my child’s surname is Ming or not. It doesn’t matter if no one burns the paper. It doesn’t matter if no one remembers me. In case I am really gone one day, you can forget about me and find someone who can give you a stable life, that would be the best. "

Lingxi was so annoyed by his words, she couldn't hold back and slapped Ah Cheng on the face, but she subconsciously withdrew her strength, and tears rushed out of her eyes unconsciously, "What nonsense are you talking about! You You must live well, the victory of the Anti-Japanese War is just around the corner, the Japanese have been jumping for a few years, how can you die before dawn."

"Of course I will work hard to live. I want us to have a long and long life full of children and grandchildren." Ah Cheng smiled and wiped away the tears on Lingxi's face, then turned around and took out a velvet box from the desk drawer, "We I have known each other for two years, but we have only been together for a few months. You are the girl I have been thinking about for two years. I dream of you at midnight, so I not only want to win your heart, but I also think you are suitable. It should belong to me, I'm selfish, even if I might die at any time, I still want to marry you and have children, so, Lingxi, marry me, okay?"

Ah Cheng opened the box, revealing a pair of small rings inside. It was just a simple plain platinum ring with no patterns. He took out the female one, "I know I am injured now, so I shouldn't propose to you at this time. Otherwise, there will be suspicion of moral kidnapping, but I'm really selfish, I want you to belong to me, I want to have children with you, and I want people outside to call you Mrs. Ming. "

Lingxi cried even harder, she looked at Ah Cheng, "Are you always proposing marriage so hastily? And you didn't even ask what day it is, just proposed so rashly."

Ah Cheng was taken aback, "What day...is it today?"

"today is my birthday."

"Birthday is not very good...I'm sorry, I, I don't know...I'm sorry..." Ah Cheng was originally relieved, birthday is a good day, but he suddenly remembered that her birthday is her father's memorial day, so he asked her She refused to say when her birthday was, Lingxi always felt that her birthday was not a good day, it was a difficult day for both mother and father.

Lingxi's tears fell more and more fiercely, Ah Cheng was at a loss to help her wipe the tears, and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Lingxi shook her head, "I don't blame you, it's my problem, I didn't tell you myself."

Ah Cheng's eyes also turned red, "That doesn't count today, I'll propose on another day next time, okay? I'll plan better next time and not be so hasty."

Lingxi wiped away the tears from her face, "You have to promise me that you must live well."

Ah Cheng nodded, "Of course I want to live a good life. I will work hard to live for you and for my elder brother and sister Mingtai."

"You still have to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, we will solve problems and face dangers together, and you can't hide from me if you get hurt."

This request made Ah Cheng unable to answer for a while, he just wanted Lingxi to be a carefree young lady of an aristocratic family, he didn't want her to worry about these things.

"You promised me!"

"Okay, I promise you!"

Lingxi's tears fell again, she watched Ah Cheng slowly stretched out her left hand towards him, Ah Cheng was a little dazed for a moment, what does this mean?

She hit Ah Cheng's hand hard, "Why are you hesitating, do you want to go back on your word?!"

Ah Cheng reacted immediately, and hurriedly put the ring on the middle finger of her left hand. The ring unexpectedly fit just right, and Lingxi also took out the men's ring from the ring box and put it on Ah Cheng's left hand. on the middle finger.

Ah Cheng held Lingxi's hand, and the two rings shone coldly under the light, making him unable to see enough. As long as he thought that Lingxi was about to become his wife, he couldn't help being happy from the bottom of his heart, even He just wanted to rush down to find his elder brother to set a date. If Lingxi didn't like getting engaged, he could just get married.

Seeing Ah Cheng's stupid look, Lingxi also burst out laughing, but after laughing, the tears flowed even more fiercely, "Today is really a good day, not only is it difficult for mother and father, but also You have to add another difficult day!"
