Chapter 58: The world is impermanent
In the evening, Lin Qingxu did not rush back to Su Mansion and stayed at Fang Xiu for dinner.
The dinner was made by Fang Xiu herself. There were vegetables and meat, all home-cooked dishes that she was used to eating. Lin Qingxu had no scruples about Fang Xiu, her mother.
Fang Xiu glanced at her angrily several times, wanting her to eat slowly, not to choke, but unfortunately someone was so engrossed in the meal that he couldn't extricate himself.
Lin Qingxu was really hungry.
She now eats for two by herself, and the one in her stomach has a big appetite. Her appetite now is comparable to that of two adult men.
Halfway through the meal, a notification came from outside the door that Su Yan was here.
When Lin Qingxu heard the word "Su Yan", the act of eating suddenly stopped.
She raised her head and looked at the undisturbed sunset outside, thinking that she had heard it wrong, until she saw the person who was carrying all the light behind her and approached each other, she finally smiled.
When Su Yan came in, she saw her holding a small bowl and looking at him with a smile on her face, with surprise and disbelief in her smart eyes.
Seeing that Lin Qingxu was dumbfounded and didn't respond for a long time, Fang Xiu poked with his elbow, Lin Qingxu then reacted and asked him to sit down quickly.
"Ayan, why are you here?" she asked in surprise and joy.
Fang Yin had already added a pair of tableware and chopsticks on the table. After Su Yan sat firmly, she leaned over and touched her head with a smile, motioning her to continue eating, saying, "The shop has come to an end, so I will be able to come back sooner. Originally, I was going back to the house, but the servant said that you came to my mother, and I just came here."
Su Yan said things lightly, as if it was really just a matter of time, but Lin Qingxu heard a little warmth from it.
She responded with joy, reached out to quickly pick dishes for him, and was instantly happier than teasing chickens and ducks.
Fang Xiu at the same table saw the eldest daughter's almost mindless behavior in front of Su Yan, and secretly shook her head.
To say that Lin Qingxu is stupid, many times her mind is very fast, and she can guess a lot of in-depth questions. But to say that she is smart... As far as she is stupid and anxious at noon, Fang Xiu really can't see how smart she is.
However... Fang Xiu's eyes swept over Su Yan inadvertently.
Only in front of the people closest to her will Lin Qingxu reveal this side of her character.
It's just that Fang Xiu was worried that Lin Qingxu's love and concern for him would greatly disturb her thinking, and she even said that she would be willing to blind herself...
After dinner, it was already late. Lin Qingxu waved goodbye to Fang Xiu with the cakes specially prepared for him by his mother who was in the kitchen in the afternoon.
Seeing her holding the food box in her arms like a treasure, Su Yan laughed and took it over to help her carry it.
"Ayan, let's walk back instead of taking a carriage? Anyway, it's not too far from the house, so we can just digest food." Lin Qingxu suggested.
Su Yan saw a glimmer of light flowing in her eyes, she understood that she wanted to talk to You Ran and herself, and nodded in response.
The Su Mansion and Fang Xiu's house were only separated by two long streets. At this hour, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and only twos and threes passed between them.
Su Yan echoed the size of Lin Qingxu's pace, and he walked side by side with her. If there were pedestrians passing by, he would gently wrap his arms around her side to prevent passers-by from hitting her.
Fang Yin and the driver walked a few steps behind, leaving enough space for the two of them to chat.
"Ayan, I remember you said that husband and wife should share pain and happiness?" Lin Qingxu pursed the corners of his mouth, still smiling.
Su Yan nodded lightly.
Lin Qingxu took his hand, slowed down, raised his head and looked into his eyes seriously: "Then tell me, are you hiding something from me?"
Lin Qingxu's tone was not questioning, the smile on the corner of her mouth was slightly lighter, and she looked serious.
In fact, even if she didn't ask Fang Xiu, she knew that there were only two solutions in front of her.
To do or not to do is up to her choice.
She didn't want to let the suspicion damage the relationship between the two, so she just said it as soon as possible. She wasn't worried about the consequences of getting the answer, just that he would choose to continue to deceive.
While Lin Qingxu looked at him, Su Yan was also looking at her. Her eyes were still clear and pitch black, like the brightest stars in the night sky, and they were full of vitality at all times.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, and there was a look of calmness in his deep eyes.
He didn't look at her again, and looked at the straight and cold street.
Tonight's moonlight is dim, and the lantern shop on both sides prints a reddish-yellow light on the road. There are dark and dark clouds on the horizon, and the only remaining brilliance of the bright moon is gradually shrouded.
Su Yan pursed his lips lightly, and said after pondering, "Qing'er, you know, I once sent someone to deal with Cui Shengyu, who is also Cui Yuying's biological father."
Lin Qingxu didn't expect that he would mention Cui Yuying, and couldn't believe it: "No wonder when he saw Cui Yuying for the last time, his father was begging her and wanted her to help solve others. That person behind the scenes...is that you?"
Su Yan held her hand tightly and nodded deeply.
"My original intention was to let them leave the town in desperation, so I sent people to mess up Cui Shengyu's business again and again. If he stopped the loss in time, the debt he was carrying would not have increased. Unfortunately, I misestimated Cui Shengyu." Su Yan explained with a frown. , "And I didn't even think that Cui Yuying was not a human race for a long time."
Cui Shengyu is a typical person who will not be pushed to a dead end and never let go. He always imagines that he will be able to turn over one day, but he has never measured whether he has that ability.
"Then the reason you want to drive the Cui family away is because of me?" Lin Qingxu guessed.
Su Yan has a good reputation in the town. Lin Qingxu never thought that Su Yan was the one who would drive people to a dead end, but now, he is telling himself.
He is not as gentle and pure as he appears.
Lin Qingxu clutched her chest, and her thoughts passed through thousands of times for a while, and some possibility almost jumped out of her head, but in the dark, she had to suppress that possibility.
Su Yan nodded, his eyebrows trembling with uncertainty.
Lin Qingxu pulled out a smile, her thoughts were like a horse that was gradually losing its reins, she pulled the reins hard, and her unwillingness to move forward shifted.
"Then what is Ayan worried about?" She forced herself back to the original question.
When the long street came to an end, in the faint moonlight, a small white elf fell lightly, and fluttered on the shoulders of the two of them. This was the first snow of the year.
Su Yan allowed a snowflake to melt in his eyelashes, and said slowly, "Since your injury happened, I have been thinking, Cui Yuying approached you, or approached me... What is the reason? If she has already been enchanted, she There is no need to deliberately approach a mortal like me." He turned to look at her with deep eyes, "I doubt that this matter will not end so easily."
Su Yan sighed softly: "Qing'er, I hope you can be free and worry-free, but many things force us to move forward. I don't want you to know these things... but things in the world are always in the hands of others."
Lin Qingxu stopped and let the snowflakes fall in the eyes of her face. She reached out and hugged him tightly, her throat choked up: "Ayan, I'm not afraid of the impermanence of the world, I just hope to be with you all the time."
So, don't hide it from her, and don't... deceive her.
Su Yan took a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly while hugging her back.
He loves her and wants to be with her forever, but there are some things that even he is afraid of, how could he let her share this worry.
The author has something to say: Well, this chapter is a bit short, and it will be added tomorrow, ah!
