Two rows of footprints, one large and one small, were left along the way. Ru Ru seemed very happy. There were not many children, five girls and two boys, all with their parents. The banquet was generally very harmonious.
"Poker face, you lose. Let me tell you. My friends have been staring at you for a long time. Niki and Giulia's mothers have been pestering you. It's a pity that they can't speak Chinese, otherwise they would definitely be able to chat with you.
Happy. Don’t you know English?”
"Yes." Fu Lingzhi bent down and picked her up. The snow was deeper than her boots, and he couldn't bear to let her freeze.
"Then why don't you communicate with them in English?"
"dislike."
"Emma said you are cold, cool, and look like a vampire. She is obsessed with Edward recently."
Fu Lingzhi remembered that the girl named Emma was of Spanish descent and was a little older than Ru Ru. Several female dolls were surrounding the boy named Luca from beginning to end. The boy was indeed beautiful. Love him.
With blue eyes like a sea of piano and a hint of green, he lowered his head and asked the little man in his arms, "Is Luca handsome?"
Ru Ru lowered her head in embarrassment, "All the girls in our class like him. I think he is not only beautiful, but his personality is very similar to yours. He usually doesn't talk much and doesn't pay much attention to us.
He always feels that he is superior to us. I heard that his grandfather was an Italian noble."
Fu Lingzhi asked again, "Where is that boy who is ignored by you and is reading next to you? What is his name?"
"Fadri? We don't like him. He is a complete weirdo, with big dirty glasses. His mother is a tailor and he has no father. He is actually very honest and enthusiastic. I have borrowed things from him many times and he talks.
His voice is actually pretty nice, but he likes reading too much. Only he can answer the questions asked by the teacher. I really don’t know why he still has to attend class with us since he knows everything.”
"What kind of boy do you like?"
"Just have a poker face, okay?" Ru Ru said with a playful smile and a cute tone.
"Not very good."
"Why? You have a handsome poker face. Niki quietly told me that her mother has been staring at you and sent her to ask me many things about you."
Fu Lingzhi sighed, the white air turned into frost, and the snow on the pine and cypress branches fell rustlingly. He stopped with his right leg supporting the weight of his whole body, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, dazed and serious, "Ruru, remember, wait for me in the future."
When you grow up, the boy you like can be handsome, gentle, and sunny, but he can't be like me."
"Why?" Her rosy little face was raised.
"I'm not good. You'll understand this when you grow older."
"Then you are not a good person. Why did my mother marry you? And she gave birth to me."
Fu Lingzhi scratched his forehead and said concisely, "Your mother didn't have many choices at that time."
The first one and the second one breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the lights in the room were not on. Fu Lingzhi was a little strange. It was already half past seven when he came out of Niki's house. He had walked for about twenty minutes. It was eight o'clock now. She
Why haven't you come back yet?
After taking out the key and opening the door, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, blinding the two of them. Otoya panted rapidly with a pale face, and looked at the two people who came in from the door with cold eyes.
Big things are bad.
Ru Ru quickly hid behind Fu Lingzhi. Fu Lingzhi stiffened his body, took a step forward, and said with a smile on his face, "Ami..."
"Ruru! Come here!" Yinmi said in a loud voice, his ears red.
Ru Ru was trembling, her little hands tightly grasped Fu Lingzhi's trouser legs, motionless as if trying to catch a duck on the rack, and burst out crying loudly.
The corner of Fu Lingzhi's mouth twitched. This kid knows how to assess the situation. No matter what happens, if he cries, everything will be over.
He also wanted to cry, the look from someone across from him could kill someone.
Otoya had reason to be angry. She hurriedly called the police, but the time was too short and the police refused to accept the case. She circled the 13th District in a full circle in the heavy snow, but couldn't find anyone. One big and one small disappeared. She was the most unhappy.
She was willing to speculate in that direction. She felt that Fu Lingzhi had no reason to sneak Ru Ru away without telling her, and Ru Ru would not leave her.
I thought of thousands of possibilities, but I just couldn't remember that Niki's house held a party at this time last year, and it would be held this year. Ru Ru never mentioned it to her at all. It's strange that she can remember it!
Yinmi stood there motionless. Fu Lingzhi turned around and bent down to pick up Ruru. He turned around and said cheekily, "Ami, we just went out to a party. It's nothing. Don't be angry."
"I didn't talk to you!" Yinmi's blood surged when he heard his voice. He was on his menstrual holiday these days, and he went out to the cold weather just now. He braved the snow for a long time to find someone, so he was afraid of you.
You're gone. She didn't bother to eat when she came back. Just when she was about to speak, her vision went dark and she lost consciousness. Her body was hanging and falling down. Fu Lingzhi quickly raised his other hand to hug her.
"Ami!"
"Mommy! Woohoo..."
Otoya didn't know how she suddenly returned to the place where Fang Huai would leave her with her grandma every summer vacation twenty years ago.
Probably everyone would feel that she hated Fang Huai's selfish behavior. Only the thirteen-year-old Ami knew that she loved her grandma to death and the paradise where her grandma lived.
Tongli.
Otomi walked along the small bridge. Boats were floating under the ancient bridge. People wearing floral plaid shirts and shorts came and went. Small markets were formed on both sides of the river, and one or two bicycles with crossbars appeared occasionally.
People on the roadside are looking at me. Women wearing blue and gray cotton tunic suits are staring at me in a chiffon dress, stockings and high boots.
She suddenly understood. She walked forward and came to the lotus pond. She met her thirteen-year-old self, with a neat ponytail, floral skirt and white sneakers. She was staring at one place.
Otoya looked along and saw the boy and girl standing under the house on the other side of the lotus pond. Seventeen or eighteen, with a bright smile. The boy in white carrying a travel bag was painting a portrait of the girl sitting by the pond and playing with the water. The boy
His slender figure, delicate childish features, thick eyebrows, and narrow, dark eyes are incompatible with this small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
This was understandable at first, but Otoya became horrified next time.
The young man had a smile on his face and gentle eyes, and shouted to the girl by the pool, "Xiao Zui, raise your hand, yes, just touch it a little on the white lotus."
Otoya squinted her eyes and took a closer look. The young man's face reflected the ripples in the water, and she couldn't see it clearly for a moment, but the outline was so familiar to her that she couldn't be more familiar with it.
Fu Lingzhi twenty years ago. Wen Zuimo twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, I watched myself quietly from across the narrow lotus pond.
Otoya could understand what was expressed in the peaceful smile on Xiaoami's face, which was envy.
She walked over and patted the girl on the shoulder. The girl turned back and smiled distantly, "What's the matter?"
Otoya twenty years ago and Otoya ten years later.
"You need to remember what I said." Otoya just wanted everything to be done in time.
"If you are admitted to the Peking University School of Medicine in five years, no matter how much you want to go, don't go."
"If, nine years from now, you meet a man named Fu Lingzhi, no matter how charming, handsome, noble, or suave he is, stay as far away from him as possible."
"If, ten years later, you meet a colleague named Ni Leitong, no matter how friendly and enthusiastic she is or how much she helps you, just ignore her."
Although the thirteen-year-old Ami heard it in confusion, she still smiled gently. The fine hair on her face was clearly visible in the sunlight leaking from the edge of the eaves.
"You gave me these many ifs, is it useful?"
"Grandma said that when encountering trouble, just remember to take your own heart with you. I can't remember other people's advice, I can only distinguish my own thoughts."
"Auntie, you are much older than me, but you still don't understand. Those people in TV dramas who complain about fate and destiny have no idea that there has never been fate or destiny in this world. It's just that we happened to meet each other. It just happened.
Then the choice is made and that's it.
"Look, they are laughing so happily. Who can guarantee that they will be like this in the future? Similarly, two people who have hated each other for so many years, who can know the final outcome?"
She pointed at the young girl opposite with a bright smile, and drunkenly said, "I don't know, don't ask, just keep walking."
Otoya never knew that her thirteen-year-old self would be more transparent than her thirty-three-year-old self twenty years later. The little girl at that time was innocent and unparalleled, with a strong sense of Zen. What she said was reasonable, just keep going. That’s it.
.
Little Ami hadn't seen anyone talking to him for a long time. He turned around and looked around. Apart from the pool of clear sunlight and the white lotus stained with morning dew, where was the shadow of the strange aunt?
But the air next to me was still filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
It's a dream.
Otoya opened her eyes and it was her bedroom.
Fu Lingzhi sat on the edge of the bed and watched her quietly. She was startled and stood up quickly, gasping for air.
"Ami? What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Fu Lingzhi was thin and pale. His left trouser leg was empty, and there was a pair of crutches beside him.
Yinmi calmed down and asked him in a daze, "Do you still remember that you and Wen Zuimo went to Tongli together twenty years ago?"
"Tongli?" Fu Lingzhi didn't know why she asked him suddenly.
"Yes, Tongli, the lotus pond on Huancui Villa, remember?" Yinmi was very anxious. It was a dream she had never had before. It was terrifyingly real. Maybe her thirteen-year-old self had really experienced it, but it would only happen in the future.
Forgot everything.
Fu Lingzhi didn't take it seriously, "Maybe, I can't remember exactly what happened so many years ago."
Yinmi was in a daze. Indeed, it happened so many years ago. Five years later, she went to Peking University. When the sky was full of fallen leaves, she met Su Wangyan in a clean white shirt, washed white jeans, and a soft and delicate face under the dead branches. Yinmi
Mi remembered that she only saw a white figure at that time.
Now that I think about it, my eighteen-year-old self roughly overlapped that frightening white figure with the person I met in the lotus pond when I was thirteen years old.
Fu Lingzhi didn't know what Yinmi was worried about. He took her temperature and found that she had a cold. He turned slightly and picked up the white porridge on the bedside table. He made it himself and the taste was not complimentary.
"Ami, eat something to cushion your stomach, and then I will take you to see a doctor. You caught a cold last night, and you were in a bad mood, so you fainted."
Otoya suddenly sobered up a lot. Her face turned cold and her eyes were as cold as frost. She swept away the spoon he handed over and the porcelain bowl in her hand. When the spoon fell to the ground, the porridge in the porcelain bowl spilled all over.
land.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Fu Lingzhi was stiff all over.
"Stay away from me." He said in a cold tone.
He had no choice but to take the pair of crutches, support his body and stand up, "I have repaired the cabinet downstairs, and put the prosthetic limb in and locked it. You and I both know we were wrong. Don't be angry, Ami."
"I told you to stay away from me!" He never knew how scared she was. Afraid that you would be taken away by him and not heard from at all. Afraid that he would be disobedient and insist on wearing a prosthetic limb. From now on, he would give birth to a baby with his left leg.
Part of it will be wasted, and the fear of myself will swallow me up, and I will never be able to cheer up again.
Fu Lingzhi sighed silently, took two steps back, and turned around with a half-smile, "Is this far enough?"
Otoya hated him for acting as if nothing had happened and deliberately misinterpreting her meaning.
Fu Lingzhi sighed loudly and had no choice but to take another three steps back, "What about this? Is it far enough?"
Otoya still didn't move.
He smiled, "Ami, if you go back further, you will reach the door. I'm not stupid. As soon as I leave, you will definitely lock the door and never let me in."
Otoya grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, "You should have gotten out!" Suddenly, his eyes became wet.
Fu Lingzhi bent down to pick up the pillow, then walked towards her with difficulty with a cane in one hand, came to the bed, put the pillow back in its place, and then sat down, "I won't leave, I won't go anywhere."
"You'd better go to Antarctica!"
"Ru Ru will never leave you. You will never leave her."
"What nonsense are you talking about! I brought her up, and you have only been here a few days, and you already want to seek power and usurp the throne!"
"You two are inseparable, so naturally I am also inseparable from you. Ami, what I'm trying to do right now is to shamelessly have anything to do with one of you. It's a bit difficult for you, so I'll give it a try for the time being. Ru Ru
That end is easier to attack. It’s quite effective so far.”
"Are you so easy to deceive as a child? I taught you Ru Ru. You are a bastard to me, but you are the same to her!"
"I just want to die one day, and when I turn around, you and the children will be there." His wrinkled brows and mottled lines at the corners of his eyes made her dizzy, "Ami, can I marry you back?
good?"
She cried and shook her head vigorously. She wished she could kill him with a knife. How thick the city wall was, but she could still say this, in front of her!
"Then you can marry me."
A breath was stuck in her throat and she couldn't go up or down, so she could only cry and shake her head.
"Then if I don't marry you and you don't marry me, how about we live together?"
Cry and shake your head.
"Then... if I don't marry you and you don't marry me, can we live together separately?"
Keep crying, keep...shaking your head.
Ru Ru worked hard beside her and arched, and finally got out of the bed. With her warm red face, she climbed onto Otoya's lap and muttered, "Go on, go on."
