Plum Blossoms

Hangzhou City in May is full of passion.

As Lu Xiaofeng walked all the way, he could hear people in the streets and alleys talking about the happy event that the Hua family just held yesterday.Naturally, these people could not see the busiest grand scene, but this did not prevent them from chatting about the guests coming and going, the deafening salutes and the imposing guard of honor.

They talked lively, and some even exaggerated, Zhiyun's cousin's son, the eldest son of his mother-in-law's natal family, worked in that Hua's family, saying that in the courtyard of Huafu, the trees grew golden branches and jade leaves, and the floor was covered with brocade inlaid with gold and embroidered with silver. , the guests drank 30-year-old wine, and there were all kinds of birds and animals at the wedding banquet.Everyone gasped in admiration when they heard this, saying that such wealth and honor make others envious.

Lu Xiaofeng only thought it was funny.

He was also thinking about yesterday's event.

What he was thinking of was not the rich clothes and fine food in Huafu, but the two parties involved.

Hua Manlou was wearing a scarlet robe.He seldom wears such brightly colored clothes, which make him look more handsome than jade.There is an unconcealable joy in his eyebrows, which makes people want to be happy for him just by looking at him.

Of course Lu Xiaofeng was very happy for him.He was a distinguished guest, standing at the front, watching the two people each holding one end of the red silk bow down one by one following the best man's singing.

A worship of heaven and earth.

Two worship the high hall.

Husband and wife worship.

Everyone around was laughing, all looking beaming, but Lu Xiaofeng had the urge to cry.But these tears are by no means inappropriate, they are tears of joy.

Perhaps it was this special atmosphere that moved a prodigal like Lu Xiaofeng a little bit.

He drank a lot, more than usual.Although Huafu's wine is not aged for 40 to [-] years as rumored, it is still good wine, and good wine is naturally intoxicating.

When he woke up, Lu Xiaofeng had a splitting headache.He lay on the bed for a long time before going out for a walk and looking for a place to eat.It's noon now, every restaurant is booming, and Yutailou, where Lu Xiaofeng goes most often, is almost full.

Fortunately, someone agreed to share the table with him, so Lu Xiaofeng ate his favorite bad duck.

This was also a young man, he only greeted Lu Xiaofeng politely when he sat down, and then drank his own wine glass by glass without paying attention to anyone.

Lu Xiaofeng kindly said: "Drinking like this will hurt your health."

The young man seemed to be a little drunk, holding the jug and looking out the window, nodded slightly, and said wistfully, "Injury to the body...how can the pain of injury be compared to the pain of heartbreak."

Lu Xiaofeng was speechless, so this is still a sad person.

I don't know if it was because he was drunk, but the young man reversed his silence just now and started to talk to him: "Do you want to drink?"

Lu Xiaofeng's head still hurts, how dare he drink: "Thank you for your kindness, I drank too much yesterday, I'm afraid I won't be able to touch it again."

The young man sighed and poured another glass to himself: "You can show your ambitions and forget your worries. Wine is really a good thing."

Lu Xiaofeng gnawed at the duck's neck, and said: "It's just to numb myself, worry and troubles can be forgotten with a glass of wine."

The young man's face changed slightly, but he didn't get angry in the end, but agreed instead: "Brother is right."

He looked at Lu Xiaofeng who was eating attentively and cheerfully, and suddenly said: "We meet by chance, since we are destined to sit at the same table, brother, would you be interested in listening to me tell a story?"

There is nothing novel about his story at the beginning - the son of a wealthy family, loving parents, harmonious brother and sister-in-law, gentle elder sister, and a cute and caring younger sister.He didn't experience any twists and turns since he was a child, and he grew up smoothly. Under the protection of his father and brother, he learned to control the family business little by little.

Prosperous in career, mostly frustrated in love.

Sure enough, he paused, and then began to say: "One day, this young master received news from a company under his banner that he was robbed by thieves while delivering goods. It's not a big deal, but the news that came was mysterious, and he remembered it in his heart. Not long after that, he met this kind-hearted man."

"It's true that this kind-hearted man has obvious characteristics. The news sent by the company is written in detail, so the young master recognized him when he saw him on the street one day. But he thought of what was described in the news, this kind-hearted man's martial arts are quite extraordinary. , The method is weird, although he helped his family, but his temperament is very cold, he doesn't like to communicate with others, even his uncle who has some experience in the world, can't tell where this person came from, it's just evil. "

"So, he can only look at people from a distance, neither approach nor touch."

If he hadn't received the news earlier, he would not have known that this seemingly weak and harmless woman had such amazing abilities.He watched her walking on the street, stopping for the street vendors from time to time; he watched her walk into his store and finally bought a hair tie; he watched her curiously look at the jugglers, seeing They breathed flames, and couldn't help opening their eyes wide, as if they were surprised, which made him laugh uncontrollably.

The observation that originally meant surveillance gradually changed its taste.He has to take care of the business at hand, so he is not always free, but he is always willing to take the time to see her, even if he just looks at her from a distance, he feels happy when he sees her taking a leisurely walk.

In the dead of night, he sat in his study, drove out all the waiters, sharpened the brush with his own hands, recalled her behavior and appearance, and carefully drew it down.

When inspecting the shop at home, I always look around inadvertently, and my heart jumps suddenly when I see the back of someone I have known before, and then I find that it is a stranger, and a faint sense of loss pervades.

Listening to the report from the steward in the house, she unconsciously lost her mind, thinking of how she looked at a loss when she was given flowers by the flower seller, the corners of her mouth curled up.

His heart seemed to be filled with an indescribable emotion, which came from nowhere, and he had never experienced it before.It's like tasting the new season's Shanlihong, which is sour and sweet, and it still makes people have an endless aftertaste after a long time.

However, when he actually faced her face to face, he was at a loss.

——His naughty little sister accidentally noticed this when she went in and out of his study, and even secretly got acquainted with her while he was away on business, and even invited her to his home.After he got home, he knew from the manager's description that he was flustered and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He didn't dare to go beyond the slightest disrespect, and received the other party with the courtesy of a distinguished guest.He was so careful that his younger sister teased him several times, yelling that this was not her wise and precocious elder brother at all.

"He has a bad heart. Although the girl didn't know it, but at the beginning, he treated her with such a vigilant attitude, and he felt guilty and apologetic. Furthermore, he has been immersed in shopping malls, and he has a standard in dealing with people and things, but the second time When I think about it once, I’m always at a loss.”

"He told his servants to entertain her wholeheartedly, and he often gave her things, just to make her smile. But he didn't dare to reveal his heart." The young man said with a very mocking expression on his face. .

Lu Xiaofeng understood very well, he sighed, and said: "Love breeds worry, love breeds fear, to love, one must also have courage."

This person is so drunk, it seems that the protagonist of the story has no courage.

"Courage, courage..." the young man murmured, with a very painful expression on his face, "He rejected the marriage proposed by his family, and thought he would have a chance to make up for it, but when we met again, the beautiful woman was already his wife."

This is really... a bit miserable.

The young man drank another glass of wine, slipped and fell on the table, muttering something in a low voice, and then gradually fell silent.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, seeing this sad man's decadent appearance, he couldn't help feeling emotional: "Fortunately, Huamanlou is a courageous person."

A long time ago, he had already noticed the budding friendship between those two people.But they were ignorant, and no one would point it out. Hua Manlou, that idiot, even said things like "she only thinks of me as a friend".

He always thought that these two people must be dawdling for a long time, and sometimes he secretly worried about them.Unexpectedly, something happened that day, Huamanlou and Wang Zhaojun stayed with Shi Xiuxue who was poisoned by the needle, and Lu Xiaofeng found a clue and went to Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion.

Since then, the atmosphere between them has changed.Hua Manlou seemed to have come to her senses, she no longer concealed her feelings, she was frank and gentle.

Lu Xiaofeng was very curious about what made this idiot suddenly enlightened, and he guessed that something must have happened between the two of them after he left.

But Hua Manlou refused to talk about it, and when he mentioned the incident of that day, he looked gloomy and unhappy.

At first Lu Xiaofeng thought that his sadness was due to Shi Xiuxue's death, the unfortunate death of a girl who admired him is always sad, let alone someone like Huamanlou.

Fortunately, the other person involved, Wang Zhaojun, is also his friend, and this friend is obviously much more generous than Huamanlou.When chatting, Lu Xiaofeng asked her what made Huamanlou's attitude change so much, Wang Zhaojun pondered for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's because of my death."

Lu Xiaofeng only thought that there was something wrong with his ears: "What?"

Wang Zhaojun said it again in a good temper: "I died once that day."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't stop laughing: "If you don't want to say it, then forget it, why make up such words to scare me?"

"I didn't scare you." Wang Zhaojun said flatly, "At that time, I was also poisoned, and I couldn't carry it over, so I died."

Lu Xiaofeng instantly felt a dark wind blowing behind him, goosebumps all over his body.

Wang Zhaojun was still saying: "Fortunately, I took some measures before, so I came back to life. Speaking of which, when I opened my eyes and saw Huamanlou again, I was really shocked by him."

The gentle and jade-like young master is like a puppet without a soul, in a trance, with a hollow expression.

When she had very little blood left, she realized that she was bound to die, and suddenly thought: After dying, can I return to the King's Continent?

But Hua Manlou's tears dripped on her cheeks, scalding her heart.

Forget it.

At the last moment, she sold the completely useless [Huiyue] in her equipment column, and replaced it with [Sage's Asylum] equipment.

Sage's Asylum: Defensive equipment, revives on the spot 2 seconds after death, and gains (2000+hero level*100) points of health, cooldown time 150 seconds, can only be triggered twice at most.

She came alive, breathing and moving as usual.Hua Manlou was sure it wasn't his hallucination, hugged her tightly, unable to say a word.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't understand the twists and turns of her resurrection from the dead, he thought that the measure she said was some kind of tortoise's breath technique, the so-called death was falling into a state of suspended animation.He smiled and said, "Yes, I was also shocked when I saw Hua Man Lou when I went back that day."

It was because those eyes were so red that people could tell that he had just cried.

Wang Zhaojun also smiled: "Yes, he is so sad, so naturally I don't want to make him sad."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed out loud.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help smiling again.He took the jug from the young man, poured himself a glass, raised the glass and said: "May I have one heart and one heart, and the white head will never be apart... Great, great, it's a big white!"

I don't know if he, Lu Xiaofeng, will also muster up the courage to love for someone one day?

As Lu Xiaofeng thought about it, he suddenly felt melancholy again.
