Snowflakes were falling from the sky. Zong Zhengxi let go of Shang Rou slightly and said to her gently: "Let's go into the palace, it's cold."
Shang Rou spontaneously took his hand, just like the scene that had been frozen in her mind when she woke up from dreams countless times.
How luxurious, how difficult...
But she finally came to him.
She knew that he was ordered not to see her again. If that was the case, then let her come to see him. By the way, she also wanted to see if he still... loved her deeply.
She could ignore all the pain she had suffered in the past, but she could not ignore his heart.
She knew that he had a fiancée, and she also knew that they broke up for some reason that was not announced to the public. These are not important anymore. What is important is that she is back, and she is back with the man she loves deeply.
No matter he is a lofty ruler or an unknown ordinary person, as long as he is here and he still loves her, she will be satisfied.
Zong Zhengxi didn't say anything. Seven years will leave a mark on people's bodies to some extent, and how could he... be still the free and uninhibited passionate young man who did things regardless of the consequences?
Shang Rou stood at the door of the palace and looked at the snowy scene outside. For the first time, she felt that winter was not so disgusting. Because Axi was by her side!
Nestling in Zongzheng Xi's arms, Shang Rou smiled, spreading two pear dimples, "A Xi, I came without saying hello, will you be unhappy?"
"How could it be? What kind of evil ideas are you having in your head?" Zong Zhengxi smiled back, his eyes dark and dark.
"Then why don't you answer my question? Ah Xi, I don't like things that are unclear, so you have to tell me how you feel about me now?" As he spoke, he grabbed Zong Zheng Xi's hand and put it on his.
In her heart, Shangrou tilted her head, "Like, care, love? Or is it unfamiliar?"
Her eyes were full of hope, like thousands of stars falling on the orbit of the Milky Way, casting out the most brilliant and vivid light.
Zong Zhengxi hesitated for a moment.
Obviously this should be a simple proposition for him, but he hesitated.
He couldn't say categorically that he loved her, even if it was true.
He could no longer be with her without any worries, even though he had fantasized about it countless times in the past years.
He could no longer say that he would never let her go because she was half of his world...
His throat felt dry and astringent. He didn't understand. He didn't understand why he had so much resistance and unwillingness.
Originally, love was the most complex, yet simplest and purest word. He loved her and she came back. Shouldn't he be overjoyed and try his best to be with her from now on?
"Xiaorou, you are not in good health. Being my wife will be very tiring."
Fatigue and panic enveloped his heart, so that when he spoke, his words were so low and difficult.
"I'm not afraid, I will become very capable, so capable that Axi will have no worries." Shang Rou said and pursed her lips with a smile, "Axi, what are you doing, don't tell me you have anything else.
What a little lover, huh!"
Zong Zhengxi kissed Shangrou's forehead, and for some reason said dotingly: "Silly girl."
This is Shang Rou... a doting tone that she has never heard before. Asitta, has he changed?
So, is it caring and love?
Unpainted red lips pressed against the corners of Zong Zhengxi's lips, Shang Rou's face was filled with tenderness, "This is a reward for you, Your Excellency the President."
…
Jian Su was limping, and she was really sad when she walked. But there was a big light bulb beside her, so she didn't dare to act rogue and cry without restraint.
Lou Heche held Jian Su steady, and his voice was as cold as his character, "Do you like Axi?"
"No."
Jian Su's voice showed no signs of recovering, but the anger and resistance on her face were bright and cute.
"If Shang Rou doesn't show up, maybe you will have a chance." Lou Heche calmly stated the fact that he had never known that there was a feeling called "other people's feelings", except of course his brother's.
"Don't tell me this, I won't listen." Jian Su stamped her feet and angrily threw away Lou Heche's hand, refusing to accept his kindness.
Lou Heche did not help her again.
Making an exception today and letting her lend a hand was no longer in line with his long-standing principles. He would not allow the words 'make the same mistake again and again' to appear in his dictionary.
Jian Su grabbed the cage containing Pang Pang and let the snowflakes wrap her up into a little white person.
Pangpang squeaked in an attempt to arouse his owner's attention, but this time, he miscalculated and couldn't even give him a spare glance.
Small shoe prints fell on the snow-white road. Lou Heche watched Jian Su step by step step by step. He saw again that the snow filled the path she went on, just like this woman,
Never stayed by his side.
Strange woman...
After making this assessment in his mind, Lou Heche returned to the main hall. He still had important matters to discuss with Zong Zhengxi. If he had not seen the untimely scene before, he would not have left temporarily and spent his time.
To Axi and that woman.
When Shang Rou shouted to take a rest, Zong Zhengxi took her to the guest room, which really made her a little confused. But a smart woman will know what to ask and when to ask. Shang Rou didn't say much and went to lie down obediently.
Zong Zhengxi stayed with her until she fell asleep, breathing lightly.
Jian Su shook the snow off her body, handed Pangpang to Yin Na, and then she dove into the room.
After drinking the warm-up sugar water that Yin Na brought to her, Jian Su buried her head in the pillow and couldn't come out.
"My lady, if you want to sleep well, take off your coat."
Yin Na helplessly patted Jian Su on the shoulder with a loving voice.
Jian Su suddenly sat up and finished undressing her clothes in a few strokes, "Nana, you go to eat first, and then eat after Su Su wakes up."
"Okay, but miss, don't go to bed too late. The food will be cold and won't taste good if heated."
"Um."
Looking up at the ceiling, Jian Su felt pity and remembered what Ning Zisuan said about Shang Rou.
She is so excellent and she is back again. You must be very happy, right?
If he is happy, he probably won't remember her existence.
Fortunately, it was over before it officially started. Fate helped make the choice, saving her the trouble of being in a dilemma.
After a while, Jian Su fell into a deep sleep, letting the wind in his ears become dull.
Lou Heche stood in the council hall, watching his brother helpless.
"Axi, this is not like you. Everyone thinks you will be very excited when Shangrou comes back."
Without any other intention, Lou Heche mentioned it casually.
Zong Zhengxi shook his head and did not reply. Instead, he asked: "Is there something wrong? Come here in this weather?"
"Well, there are some issues that I need to discuss with you about Bea."
Walking closer to Zong Zheng's seat, Lou Heche raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, are you going to stand and talk to me?"
Zongzheng smiled casually and sat down.
The snow outside the palace is falling harder and harder, and the layers of snowflakes decorate the palace like a dream castle.
Before going to bed, Jian Su sent Shi Qianqian a text message and turned off her phone. She didn't plan to care about the other party's response for the time being.
At some point, Pangpang slipped onto Jian Su's bed and fell asleep with his master.
Sometimes, pets can stay with you longer than people.
…
Before leaving, Lou Heche opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but remembering the girl's undeniable look, he finally stopped and said: "Axi, the most important thing is to see your own heart clearly.
"
Zong Zhengxi watched Lou Heche leave blankly. For the first time, he felt that his emotional intelligence was insufficient and he could not understand the good intentions of his buddies.
She slept until evening, and the simple lunch had been divided by the servants in the villa. Fortunately, there was a hot dinner waiting for her. As soon as she woke up, she could immediately solve her hunger problem.
Without stepping out of the side hall, Jian Su successfully disguised herself as a 'non-existent person'.
Zong Zhengxi didn't come to see her for a few days, and she never took a step closer to the main hall.
After completing the homework assigned by the professors, Jian Su welcomed Shi Qianqian, whom she had not seen for several days.
Shi Qianqian was always in high spirits, but Jian Su was in a much brighter mood.
Before leaving, she put the ticket into Jian Su's hand. Shi Qianqian was silent and very uneasy, "Nizi, don't mess around. Why are you going to the United States for no reason? And the New Year is coming, you know, not yet."
It's New Year's Day in a week, you really..."
She blocked Shi Qianqian's chattering mouth with her hand, and Jian Su narrowed her eyes, feeling a bit like a fox.
"It's not unreasonable. Su Su said that I am going to participate in Min's competition. It is not easy to pass the preliminary round. I don't want to give up the opportunity of the second round, okay?"
Jian Su spoke as slowly as possible. Shi Qianqian struggled to understand what she said and then gritted her teeth. She was unhappy and said, "It's okay for anyone to go. You get into trouble every time you want to leave. Who can rest assured?"
Why don't you wait two days, my brother plans to go to the United States, will you go with him?"
As a good sister, Shi Qianqian considers simplicity very much.
Shaking her head, Jian Su moved her lips and said silently, "No, Qianqian, thank you. May Susu pass the re-examination and enter the next round!"
"I really can't stand you! By the way, my sister went to visit His Excellency the Vice President a few days ago. He seemed to have said that he wanted to see you. Please go see him when you have time. Speaking of which, you owe His Excellency the Vice President a lot.
A favor, right?"
Life-saving grace is greater than heaven, is that what they say?
After Shi Qianqian reminded her, Jian Su remembered that there was indeed something like Qi Wei. She had to ask you about her necklace.
"Qianqian, why don't you take me to Qi's house later?"
"It's a small matter." Shi Qianqian agreed and screamed happily as she snapped her fingers.
However, why do I always feel that something is not quite right? Shi Qianqian was thinking about it while eating the special cakes made by the side hall. At a certain moment, an idea flashed in her mind, and then she remembered - yes, Jian Xiaoniu is back.
Why didn't your Excellency the President run this way?
