The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

The next day, Xu Qu did not go out early. Huan Huan was curious and asked him, "Isn't the escort business urgent?"

Xu Qu replied, "We have agreed to come to Xinyuan to discuss the details later." He nodded slowly without saying anything.

Sure enough, not long after breakfast, the housekeeper came with a shopkeeper and two waiters. After greeting Huanhuan, they went into Xu Qu's study.

After a while, Xie Jin and the eldest aunt came. The eldest aunt ignored Huan Huan and looked at him with a teasing and provocative look. Huan Huan saluted them coldly and politely, and Xie Jin returned the salute to Huan Huan in a distant and polite manner, and then they also went to the study.

Huanhuan drank the medicine silently, and when she was staring at the door of the study in a daze, Xiangyue came. She said to Huanhuan nervously, "Sister-in-law, tomorrow is Miss Shen's birthday party. Are we fully prepared?"

He slowly took Xiangyue's hand and reviewed the entire game process at the birthday party, and recounted the corresponding strategy that he knew by heart, and finally comforted her: "It's okay, don't worry."

Xiangyue said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the rouge shop later."

He said slowly, "I packed everything yesterday. I promised your brother that I would rest at home today. I might go see Xiangyin later and I will be back soon."

Xiangyue suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "I said I would go see Xiangyin last time but I didn't make it. I heard she is very ill. I'll go see her too."

After thinking about it slowly, he felt that there was nothing wrong, so he quickly packed up and went out with Xiangyue.

On the way, Xiangyue asked curiously, "What disease did Xiangyin have? Second uncle and second aunt were vague about it. One moment they said it wasn't serious and she didn't need to be treated. The next moment they said it was serious and Second uncle had to take care of her and couldn't take care of the family business."

She sighed slowly and said, "Xiangyin didn't have any illness at first, but now she is really sick." Then she described the cause and condition of Xiangyin's illness to Xiangyue.

"Cousin Shen! And Xiangyin? We have known each other since childhood, how could we have thought that they would have feelings for each other?" Xiangyue covered her mouth with her handkerchief, looking incredulous.

She smiled slowly, with a hint of sadness between her brows, and said, "After all, we have known each other since childhood. We have probably already fallen in love after a long period of understanding and contact, but you just didn't notice it."

At this time, Xiangyue sneezed several times in succession, slowly touched her clothes, and said, "Xiangyue, it's so cold, you are wearing too little, don't go to see Xiangyin, you will catch a cold when you come back."

Xiangyue was also a willful person, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, let's walk a few steps quickly and we will soon reach Second Uncle's house."

He smiled slowly and said, "I have something important to do tomorrow. Do you want to take the risk?"

When Xiangyue heard this, she said, "Let's go back. I'll put on some more clothes."

He slowly raised his head to look at the sun and said, "Your yard is far away. Come to my place and I'll get you a thicker cloak."

Xiangyue praised it repeatedly, so the two of them turned back and went back to Xinyuan.

At the gate of Xinyuan courtyard, Huanhuan and the other two met the housekeeper, the shopkeeper and the waiter who came out. Just like yesterday, they simply bowed and left in a hurry.

Huanhuan and Xiangyue continued to walk in, and saw their aunt standing at the door of the main hall from a distance. When she saw Huanhuan and Xiangyue approaching, she put her finger in front of her lips and made a "hush" gesture.

Huanhuan had a bad feeling and her face suddenly changed. Xiangyue looked confused, and the two of them stopped quietly at the door of the main room.

Xie Jin and Xu Qu were sitting at a round table in the room. Xu Qu had his back to the door, and Xie Jin was sitting next to him. Xie Jin said gently, "Brother Qu, it turns out you remember so many things from the past. Do you still remember this bracelet?" As he spoke, he stretched out his wrist to reveal the Hetian white jade twisted wire bracelet.

Huanhuan's face looked even worse, but she couldn't see Xu Qu's expression. She could only see Xu Qu staring at the twisted wire bracelet with his head slightly lowered, without saying a word.

Xie Jin stretched out her arms, lowering her posture a little. She looked at Xu Qu and said, "I also know that this bracelet has extraordinary meaning. I understand that you gave it to me at that time, and I am always grateful."

Xie Jin paused for a moment, and seeing that Xu Qu didn't say anything, he continued, "Brother Qu, I heard that you haven't left the house for a long time since I got married. Actually... I also had to make that decision back then. I had my own difficulties. Can you understand me?"

Xu Qu finally spoke. He only said one sentence: "It's all over."

Xie Jin moved slightly, looking a little sad. She looked sincere and said affectionately, "Brother Qu, are you still blaming me?"

There was a moment of silence, but soon Xu Qu raised his head and said, "No, don't think too much."

Xu Qu's voice sounded calm, but it was a heavy blow to Huanhuan's heart. Huanhuan suddenly felt a little dizzy and held the door frame with his hand, making a slight noise.

My aunt smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

As a series of sounds came out, Xie Jin turned his head to look at the door, and Xu Qu also turned back to look at the door.

Huanhuan at the door looked pale, and Xiangyin beside him also had a stern face.

Xu Qu turned around and stood up. When he saw Huan Huan, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes and his whole face looked solemn, as if he was facing the abyss.

Slowly forcing a smile, she said weakly, "I'll get Xiangyue a cloak." Then she walked into the house and went directly to the bedroom to get clothes. Xu Qu kept staring at her, looking a little helpless as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

After rummaging around drowsily, she finally found a cloak. Then she took a deep breath, walked back to the door with stiff steps, and put it on Xiangyue.

"Sister-in-law..." Xiangyue called Huanhuan softly, and the grievance in her eyes was even greater than Huanhuan's.

"It's getting late, let's go." After saying that, she walked away slowly without looking back. Behind her were Xu Qu whose eyes had been following her, Xie Jin with an expressionless face, and her aunt with a look of disdain on her face.

Huanhuan and Xiangyue walked in silence all the way until they met Xie Shen at the gate of Xu's house. Xie Shen also looked very haggard and had a lot on his mind.

He and Huanhuan exchanged absent-minded greetings. Xie Shen asked politely, "What are you doing, Madam?"

He answered slowly and concisely: "See Xiangyin. Where is Master Shen?"

Hearing the word "Xiang Yin", Xie Shen's eyes showed a look of understanding. He originally wanted to rush past, so he stopped and responded seriously: "Looking for Xie Jin."

Huanhuan was in no mood to ask more questions, and Xie Shen also looked like he didn't want to talk nonsense. After they finished speaking, the two of them turned around and went on their own. Xiangyue watched them from the side, but couldn't get a word in.
