[The pretender is deeply in love] The ups and downs of troubled times

Accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in the early morning, as soon as Su Yunyi stepped into the classroom with the drawing board on her back, Fang Yu came to meet her, helped her remove the drawing utensils, and took her by the hand to walk under the shade of the blue trees in the garden.

Fang Yu’s Shanghai students are uniformly attired, with a blue button-up shirt on the right lapel and a long black skirt. Only a school badge is pinned on the right chest to distinguish the school’s name: “Yunyi, I’m really sorry yesterday. Ping's personality is too straight, there's nothing... nothing mean."

Even if Su Yunyi doesn't say such an explanation, Fang Yu knows it's too far-fetched, but it's really inconvenient for her to talk about her good friend's family affairs, so she can only politely say: "She, she's not feeling well recently, so she's a little emotional. Nervous, it's not against you, don't be angry. She's just...just...she's actually pretty good..."

Said that Fang Yu was at a loss for words later, so she could only stare at Su Yunyi in a daze: "You...are you not angry?"

Su Yunyi shook her head: "No." She would never be angry for people who have nothing to do with her, plus what her classmates said yesterday, even if there was water in the words, it was just for what she saw yesterday, yes The man is not flattered either.

Hearing what Su Yunyi said, Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great. You don't know, I really didn't know which side to worry about yesterday, because... Although I chased them out in the end, I was so restless all night. Go to sleep, I'm afraid you will get angry."

"Do I look like such a stingy person? You think too much." Su Yunyi patted her arm: "You, put your heart back in your stomach. We are going to class."

"Well, I'm really relieved this time. Let's go back to class, go shopping together after school, and accompany me to buy painting supplies. I have enough money today."

"Okay."

The black car was driving slowly on the streets of Yangpu District, and Ah Cheng, who was driving the car, had a serious face: "I went to the customs to check, and the goods that my eldest sister sells are all western medicines that are in short supply, and these medicines are priced in gold in the market." Yes. Everyone is equivalent to carrying a whole box of gold to Hong Kong."

In the back seat, Minglou lowered his eyes faintly, and wiped his gold-rimmed glasses: "Have you sent the telegram to Mingtai?"

"Sent." Ah Cheng glanced in the rearview mirror: "I sent seven words: Sister will arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow, brother. I have also booked the room at the Hong Kong Royal Hotel, and booked two rooms 509 and 421. "

Minglou put on his glasses to block those eagle-like eyes: "The distance to the target?"

"Best range."

"Okay." Minglou nodded.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Ah Cheng asked again for confirmation.

"No more. There is only one thing to do next, speed!" Ming Lou opened the white curtain and looked at the busy traffic outside the window, "Stop the car."

"What's wrong?" Ah Cheng parked the car next to a painting studio.

Minglou slightly raised his chin towards the painting club: "Look."

The open painting club is filled with all kinds of painting utensils, paintings and the like.A girl in school uniform with long hair and shawl bowed and picked.Another girl, dressed in a red knee-length skirt and a white knitted sweater, wandered back and forth in the store with her hands behind her waist.From time to time, I took out a candy from the small bag and put it in my mouth, and fed another one to the girl who was choosing something, and the two talked and laughed.

Ah Cheng rolled down the car window: "Yunyi." He waved to the person who turned around.

"Brother Ah Cheng," Su Yunyi trotted to the side of the car: "Why are you here?"

"I should be the one asking you this, are you strolling here without class?"

"That's not true, I'm out of school." Su Yunyi pouted dissatisfiedly: "I'm a good student. Why is Ah Cheng here alone?"

"Who says I'm here alone?" Ah Cheng pointed behind him, the rear window was slowly rolled down, and his slender five fingers pulled the white car curtain aside.Minglou's lips were gentle, and he looked at the obviously nervous person with a warm smile: "Yunyi, did you pick something good?"

"Brother Minglou." Su Yunyi unconsciously pinched the hem of the skirt with her drooping hands, leaving a deep wrinkle on it: "I'm not shopping, I'm here with my friends, and I'll be home in a while."

Minglou's voice is low and gentle, and his appearance is also kind and polite, but for some reason, it makes Su Yunyi feel nervous; it is not as easy and natural as getting along with Ah Cheng and Mingtai.

"Yunyi, I've bought it." Fang Yu came out carrying the paint, "Hey, your friend?"

Fang Yu's gentle voice was like the sound of nature at this moment, Su Yunyi quickly took Fang Yu's wrist and pulled it in front of her: "Oh, let me introduce, these are brother Ah Cheng and brother Ming Lou; this is my classmate and friend, Fang Yu .”

Fang Yu, who didn't know whether he should be called like Yun Yi, could only smile and nod to the two of them.

Ah Cheng and Minglou both smiled and nodded: "Miss Fang."

"Yunyi, where are you going now, I'll see you off?" Ah Cheng asked.

"Yunyi still wants to go shopping?" Fang Yu weighed the things in his hand: "I may not be able to accompany you, there are so many things, I have to take them home first."

Fang Yu's mouth was so fast that Su Yunyi had no time to hide it, and smiled dryly: "Well, I just happened to be tired and wanted to go home."

Ming Lou opened the car door from the inside: "Get in the car. Where is Miss Fang going?"

Seeing this posture, Fang Yu quickly waved his hands: "Oh, no need, Mr. Ming, my house is very close to here, just walk back. By the way, I also helped my mother do some shopping."

"If that's the case, then we won't send each other off."

Su Yunyi looked at Fang Yu's receding figure, finally got into the car slowly, and sat side by side with Minglou.Hold your head high, your eyes straight ahead; your legs are tilted stiffly, and your hands are placed on your thighs cautiously.

Ming Lou glanced at the person sitting beside him without moving his face. Wouldn't such a posture really make you tired?Mingming can talk and laugh with anyone, why does he become so nervous when facing himself, is he really so scary?Obviously already very pleasant-looking, if he followed his usual instructions, would he shy away from seeing him from now on?

"What major did you study in Yunyi University?"

Su Yunyi turned slightly to the side, looking straight into the eyes that made her want to escape: "I studied in the music department and completed my coursework at the Juilliard School."

Minglou's lips showed a faint line, and his eyes were warm and warm: "Then why do you want to study art all of a sudden?"

"Well, because of the feng shui painting on the left hand side of the living room." That picture made her see the beauty of western painting for the first time, and the essence of the painting was highlighted with just a few strokes. People have a feeling of being there.It really made her like it very much, and she was so fascinated by it that she wanted to learn it by herself.

Ah Cheng, who had been concentrating on driving, suddenly asked when he heard this: "Are you talking about the painting on the left hand side of the living room at home that was painted in yellow, green and blue?"

"En." Su Yunyi nodded, and said sincerely, "It's really beautiful."

Ah Cheng continued to ask: "There are so many paintings hanging in the living room, but you just caught your eye like that? And I also think that painting doesn't look very good." With a drawn-out tone, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Each flower is in each eye." Among so many paintings, I just like that one.

Ah Cheng shook his head, and gave Minglou a meaningful smile through the rearview mirror.Minglou glanced at him, then turned to look out the window.

The not-so-long drive seemed like a year to the tense Su Yunyi, and finally arrived at the destination.After saying that, she disappeared from the sight of the two of them in an orderly and quick manner with brisk steps.

As soon as she left, Ah Cheng couldn't help laughing, the schadenfreude in the laughter made Ming Lou glance at him with a dark face, turned around and walked into his study.

In the room upstairs, Su Yunyi stood in front of the mirror and looked at her relieved expression, then reached out to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and gave herself a hard look: "You are really worthless. It's not that you haven't seen a man before, It's not that I haven't gotten along with men before, why meeting Minglou is like meeting a cat with a mouse. It's really embarrassing and useless!"

Strolling back to the bed, he lay down on it casually, looking at the snow-white ceiling.Su Yunyi asked herself, what happened to her, why she didn't look like herself anymore.She kicked off her little leather shoes, turned over and hid in the bed. At this moment, she needs a good dream, maybe Duke Zhou can answer her doubts.

In the lonely late night, only a few sporadic stars poked their heads out from the clouds, glowing with pale and faint light, blinking wearily.Occasionally a gust of wind came, and the branches couldn't help creaking a few times, so clear in the open world.

Ming Lou sat behind the desk with his legs crossed, staring deeply at the stack of papers in front of him, tapping rhythmically on the table with his slender and powerful fingers.Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

"Dong dong dong." After three knocks on the door, Ah Cheng pushed the door open and entered.At this moment, his face was no longer playful and playful during the day, and his face was so serious that he could almost register with playing cards.

Ming Lou suddenly stood up from the chair, looking at him with burning eyes: "How is it?"

Ah Cheng nodded: "Successful, the Polish Eagle has been successfully sniped. Our people have also retreated safely."

The boulder hanging in his heart finally fell, and Minglou sat down again: "This test is over. The road ahead will be even more difficult. From today, Mingtai will never be able to come back."

Minglou's hoarse voice made Ah Cheng's heart heavy.No one thought that everyone would come to this point. In this family, I and my eldest brother have already devoted themselves to politics because of this troubled world, and have dedicated their own abilities to save the country.Who knew that Mingtai also...

Obviously, he had been sent to Hong Kong to study, just to let him avoid the war and avoid all this; but he still met the poisonous bee on the plane by accident, which changed the path he took.The most important thing is that this road is a road of no return, and they can only watch him sink deeper and deeper.

"Sometimes the fate of a person really cannot be decided by himself, because the torrent of history will take you away. But I can't believe that it will happen to me! I am really afraid that one day, when he has only a chance, I will only Can just stand by and watch."
