[Rebirth] Black lotus watered with sugar water

It’s autumn now, the days are getting shorter, the hour hand has not yet pointed to the bottom number, the sky is almost dark, only a faint light remains.

It just couldn't light the inside of the house.

Qin Xuan sat alone on the balcony, the windows were wide open, the wind was blowing, and the lights were not turned on.She was very thin, and her hair was a little dry.

The leaves outside the window lost moisture, withered and turned yellow, falling shriveled from the branches and falling all over the ground.

She is like the leaves that are falling down now.Probably because I have been too anxious and frightened recently, and I am much older than before.

A person stayed in silence for a long time until it was dark.

Someone knocked on the door, it was a respectful female voice.

"Ma'am, sir is back? Do you want to go down?"

Before Qin Xuan could hear it, the back of her hand rested on the armrest beside the chair, holding a thin photo.It was an old photo, and there were a group of girls on it, which were blurry and couldn't be seen clearly.The edges and corners are slightly yellow, and they look very fragile, as if they would break if touched.

The man had no choice but to knock on the door again and ask again.

"Mister is looking for you below!"

Qin Xuan finally came to her senses, agreed abruptly and sharply, stood up from her chair, and took two steps.I also found that there was one more thing in my hand, it was very important and I couldn't show it to others.After much deliberation, it was finally carefully stuffed against the armrest of the chair.

When she went downstairs, the food on the table was set, Xiao Mou sat in the front seat, looked up at her with a cold expression.

"What's the matter with you recently? You're not energetic at all." Xiao Mou asked her casually, "I don't cook anymore, and you know that the few dishes cooked in the kitchen are not to my liking, and they are not you."

Qin Xuan's heart trembled, she squeezed a smile on her face, and pretended to answer a few words, all the wrinkles appeared.Her cooking skills are very good, but she didn't practice it when she was a girl. Although the Qin family is incomparable with the Gu family and Shen family, they are also from a scholarly family, so it won't make her suffer.Cooking is to tie Xiao Mou's heart to himself, and he practiced it with great difficulty.She still remembered that at that time, her hands were covered with red spots from the hot oil, and she had never suffered such pain.While crying, she thought, when Shen Wan is driven away, she will become Mrs. Fu, just like Qin Shu, she doesn't have to do anything anymore, just enjoying life is enough.

It's a pity that Gu Lu is different from Xiao Mou. If they were the same, Qin Xuan would not be able to become Xiao Mou's mistress.Now that she has been cooking, she has restrained herself and pretended to like Xiao Mou very much.

Xiao Mou's rice bowl was empty, so Qin Xuan put down her chopsticks ahead of time and filled a bowl for him.Xiao Mou was finally satisfied.

So he likes Qin Xuan.She is gentle and virtuous, her family background and talents are also good, and she is willing to endure hardships for him.Most importantly, be obedient enough.

But he thought of Qin Xuan's wrinkles again, she was old and no longer beautiful.This made Xiao Mou somehow think of Shen Wan, because Shen Wan would never grow old.

When Shen Wan died, she was in her prime. She was not yet 30 years old, she had been ill for a long time, she was very thin, but she still looked good, and finally committed suicide by cutting her wrists.

Xiao Mou remembered that day he brought Qin Xuan and Xiao Huan to Shen's house. There was no one in the house, it was empty and there was no sound.He went upstairs and saw that there was no sign of Shen Wan in the room, so he pushed open the door of the bathroom, and the bathtub was bright red.Shen Wan lay on her back inside, her delicate eyebrows stretched out, as if she was smiling, most of her long black hair floated on the water, and some of them meandered along the outer wall of the bathtub to the ground.

She died, but Shen Yue really disappeared, as if disappeared out of thin air.But even if Shen Yue is here, he will kill the weeds and root them out.Because Shen Yue was not his child, he didn't shed his blood, he was just a child of the Shen family.Who knows what will happen?

So no matter how beautiful, no matter how talented, no matter how rich the family is, what is the use?Where did the beauty and talent go off the rails, and the daughter is not her own.

How can it be compared to now, with an obedient wife, a biological child, and his own company.

After dinner, Xiao Mou and Qin Xuan were going to a dinner party, and Xiao stayed at home to read and study.But that being said, there was no one to supervise him, and the rest of the family didn't dare to control him. He was like a bully, flipping from upstairs to downstairs, having a great time playing.

After such a long time, Xiao still felt that it was meaningless.After thinking about it, he got into Qin Xuan's room, not knowing what had happened to his mother recently, and it was not like she used to be with him every day.Although it was annoying to be with him, not being with him made him feel that he was not taken seriously.

Xiao Huan thought to himself, why does Qin Xuan not value him, how dare she not value him?He is her only child.

Thinking about it this way, the already grumpy Xiao felt even more annoyed, and smashed the things on the balcony where Qin Xuan stayed most recently.

A photograph floated from the armrest of the chair.

He bent down to pick it up. There were many people on it. He looked over and didn't recognize any of them.It's just a few words written on the back of the photo.

"Shen Wan."

This handwriting is from a long time ago.Xiao didn't know him yet, and he always wanted to destroy things he didn't know. When he was about to tear up the photo, he saw another name.

"Shen Yue." This is a new addition.Xiao still had a vague impression, as if it was that time he went to meet some relatives.

Xiao still held this old photo, but he didn't cherish it. He just curled his lips, "It's so boring. Find something interesting to do well."

So he acted recklessly without anyone restraining him, so he decided to bring this hidden photo of Qin Xuan to find Shen Yue for fun.

It is not difficult to find Gu Zhai.Xiao is still just grumpy, not out of his mind.He inquired about the servants at home, then made harassing calls to Qin Xuan, forcing her to turn off the phone, and finally lied to the servants at home, saying that Qin Xuan asked him to visit relatives and left the house.

Speaking of which, he also met Gu Ningyuan once, that was when he came out of the ward.

He doesn't like Gu Ningyuan.

……

The weather is getting cooler.

Mama Liu was free, dozing off in the side hall knitting a sweater.The doorbell at home suddenly rang, and she got up to answer it. It was the voice of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

"Excuse me, is this Cousin Gu's home? I'm Xiao Huan, and I want to visit Cousin."

Mama Liu was taken aback.

Although Gu Ningyuan had already entrusted him not to let Xiao's family come, but this also severed the relationship for no reason, which always surprised Liu Ma.Even if she was able to stop adults, for example, Qin Xuan came to visit several times, but failed to enter the gate.But children are different, her heart has already softened.

"I...can I come in? It's cold outside..."

Xiao also added another sentence.

After a long pause, just when Xiao Huan was almost unable to pretend, Mama Liu sighed, always unable to bear it.

"Come in, Young Master Xiao."

Gu Ningyuan is not at home at this time, and is still working overtime in the company.

A visitor is a guest.Liu Ma always entertained him well, served him fruit and snacks, turned on the TV, and wanted to ask him something along the way.

But now that Xiao came in, he got impatient and chatted with Liu's mother.

"Where's Shen Yue?" Xiao also peeled an orange and ate it by himself, ignoring Liu's mother's words, "Gu, cousin Gu adopted a sick child. I went to the hospital to see him before. He is now alive. Woolen cloth?"

Liu Ma frowned, and was about to say something, but was interrupted.

"Hello, Xiao Huan."

The sound came from the stairs.

When Xiao Huan turned his head, he saw a man standing beside the stairs with a white cat lying on his shoulder, smiling politely and appropriately.

He stood up, the orange juice on his hand was still wet, he took out the photo from his pocket and waved his hand.

"Shen Yue." Xiao Huan raised his head to look at Shen Yue's face, he emphasized these two words, and said arrogantly, "I've come to ask you something."

Shen Yue didn't change his expression, he still smiled, as if he didn't hear anything.He thinks that Xiao is only fourteen or fifteen years old. To be honest, he treats a child of this age as a fool.No matter what, just a few words of coaxing, if you can't coax it well, use a tough method.

He can always handle it.

Xiao didn't give him a chance to coax him, so he rolled over on the sofa, grinning, wanting to tease the cat.It's a pity that Xiaobai looks soft, and he only treats people close to him. In fact, he is very wild, and Xiao still has a bad face, so he scratched his hand with one paw.

"I beat you to death!"

Four blood paw prints instantly appeared on Xiao Huan's hands.He was in so much pain that he couldn't get over his face, so he withdrew his hand and used the other to grab it, but was stopped by Shen Yue, and Xiao struggled with all his strength, but still remained motionless.

Shen Yue sighed in his heart.He still remembered that Xiao Huan was a very close relationship with Gu Ningyuan, but they hadn't been in touch for many years.Now it seems that there is probably no need to come and go.

"Let me go!" Xiao was also good at rolling, and his other hand came up to break him, trying to escape.

"Fuck, what are you! An adopted one, I'm Gu Ningyuan's cousin!"

What followed was aimless abuse, which was disgusting and stupid, which made Mama Liu feel uncomfortable.

Shen Yue let go of him, and Xiao staggered back a few steps.

"It's getting late," Shen Yue winked to the side, then turned around, "You're still a child, go home early, don't wait any longer, to prevent unsafe roads."

But Xiao really didn't want to let it go, and screamed loudly, "I came to ask you something! What is your relationship with my mother! She wrote your name on the back of the photo!"

Shen Yue was taken aback for a moment, Xiao also handed over the photo from the back, only glanced at it, but didn't see the front of the photo.Only two names on the back.

"Shen Wan"

"Shen Yue"

When Shen Yue became interested, before he could understand, Xiao jumped down the stairs. Before the servant rushed up, he ran fast and slammed the door heavily.

"What a farce."

Mama Liu felt a little sad, because she let Xiao Huan in because of a momentary soft-heartedness.Thinking about it now, what Gu Ningyuan said really makes sense.

The Xiao family shouldn't be allowed in.

Only Shen Yue, thinking of this name in his heart, also felt that it was just a farce, but he still took it to heart.

"Shen Wan", who is she?

After a while, Gu Ningyuan came back.He heard Mama Liu talk about it.Liu Ma only talked about it, but didn't talk about the photos.

He was silent for a while, and just said: "Forget it this time. Next time, don't let him in. Qin Xuan, don't treat her as my mother's sister."

Mother Liu was taken aback, she almost couldn't hold the thing in her hand steadily, but she didn't dare to ask further questions.

Gu Ningyuan still remembered that Qin Shu was much older than Qin Xuan and took good care of him.She once told Gu Ningyuan that she was a cute and shy little girl when she was a child.Qin Shu's health is not good, so the family will inevitably take care of her more, and Qin Xuan never cares about it and makes troubles.Instead, he said: "I want to grow up quickly and protect my sister!"

After Qin Shu got married, Qin Xuan grew up a bit, and the relationship between the two sisters became estranged somehow. At least Gu Ningyuan didn't see Qin Xuan's aunt very much when he was young.

Later, Qin Xuan and Xiao Mou also got married, and their contacts increased.Sometimes Qin Shu looked at Qin Xuan and said that she had changed a lot, then Qin Xuan grabbed her hand and said that she hadn't changed and would always want to protect her sister.

Qin Shu vaguely thought, maybe she hasn't changed, she is still her cute little sister.She entered the earth with this feeling, and even before she died, she did not forget to entrust Gu Ningyuan to help Qin Xuan if he could.

She wouldn't know that when she grows up, she might not be the same as before. Qin Xuan just changed her appearance, only wearing the old skin.

In the previous life, Gu Ningyuan knew Qin Xuan's true face because of Shen Yue's revenge. The previous appearance was just for Qin Shu to see, but it was no different.

At that time, he only wanted Qin Shu to leave in peace.

But it's different now.

Gu Ningyuan pushed open the door of Shen Yue's room. Shen Yue was sitting in front of the table. Hearing the movement behind him, he turned his head in great surprise.

He raised his head with a genuine smile on his face, "You're back!"

It was a sound of great anticipation.

Gu Ningyuan's heart softened, and he walked over to Shen Yue and touched his head.

The past is over, even the promise to Qin Shu is just in the past.Since his rebirth, his wish has changed many times, but he has never left the person in front of him.

Ever since Shen Yue foolishly asked Gu Ningyuan to take a bath here last time, Gu Ningyuan really stayed here.It's just that you can't let others know, at least not too blatantly.Shen Yue had no choice but to go to Gu Ningyuan's room to get two sets of clean clothes, which aroused Liu's mother's suspicion. She always has a good memory for these aspects, and she has a good number of clothes.

"Why, two sets are missing?"

It's just that this doubt is destined to find no answer, after all, Shen Yue hid these two sets of clothes so well that no one can find them.

After taking a shower here, Gu Ningyuan still had steam all over his body, chatted with Shen Yue for a while, and talked about Xiao Huan.The rest is their own business. There is almost no overlap in their usual work and study circles, but even listening to each other's life like this, they are still very interested.

Gu Ningyuan came back late today, so he didn't stay here for long, he only gave Shen Yue a good night kiss and left.

After Gu Ningyuan left, Shen Yue turned on another small light, found another set of clean clothes from a secret place in the closet, pulled out the top one, unfolded it carefully, and stuffed it neatly into his own. in the quilt.

Shen Yue suddenly felt relieved, and rubbed against the dress, as if Gu Ningyuan was by her side.
