Hush!secret

Without a rest, Chu Rui was in a trance. He tried to talk to the servant not far away: "Hi, can I have a cup of green tea?"

The servant in the corridor: "Guest, please wait a moment, and I will make tea for you!"

Chu Rui looked at the servant's back and thought: Is he able to answer fluently, no different from normal people?

Under the hydrangea tree, beside the bluestone table, sat a gorgeously dressed woman. She was young and beautiful, shaking a fan, and there was also a servant girl serving her.

"That's the second lady." The servant who was holding the teapot spoke suddenly, which startled Chu Rui, and when he turned his head, the servant stood beside him at some point.

The servant's face was frighteningly pale, just like the second lady in the courtyard. The second lady was still smeared with makeup, but the servant had a pale face without any other decorations, like a living dead.

"Guest, let's drink tea!"

The servant's voice was like a splash of ice water, which made people feel numb.

Chu Rui took the teapot: "I... I'll pour it myself!" After speaking, he took the teapot and ran into the room.

After closing the door, Chu Rui gasped against the back of the door. He lifted the teapot and held the body of the teapot himself, but he didn't feel any heat. When he opened the teapot, moisture came from inside, and the black tea leaves floated on it, glowing Putrid stench.

Chu Rui vomited a few times in disgust. He didn't need to drink green tea. Now he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was very energetic!

"Guest! It's time to eat!"

"Little sister, why do you like to grind your teeth when you sleep? I couldn't sleep well because of the noise!" Huang Shanshan complained with a smile. got a room.

Gan Xiaoxiao blushed, glanced at Chu Rui and Huang Shanshan from the corner of her eye and said, "Sister Shanshan!"

Huang Shanshan glanced at Chu Rui: "Oh~ I'm afraid my little boyfriend will know about your sleep problems!"

Little boyfriend?Chu Rui explained: "Misunderstood, we only met in the game."

Gan Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly dimmed, "Misunderstanding, I have nothing to do with him!"

"Huh?" Chu Rui thought that the two of them were friends after all.

"Ah what!" Gan Xiaoxiao glared at him, buried her head in eating, with a blue face.

Chu Rui asked her in a low voice: "Are you in a bad mood? Did someone mess with you?"

As soon as the words were finished, Gan Xiaoxiao stepped on the foot under the table. Chu Rui frowned in pain, and suffered from being dumb. She had no idea how he had offended her.

"Miss Gan, can you tell me more about the shadow you met last night?" Zhou Xiyu asked.

Everyone at the table looked at Gan Xiaoxiao. She put down the chopsticks in her hand, and recalled the finished picture with lingering fear: "I was going to sleep."

After taking off her coat, Gan Xiaoxiao smelled the smell of the clothes. There was a faint pine fragrance, "I can't tell, he still wears perfume!" The corners of her mouth raised, and then she restrained her expression and put the clothes on the chair.

Gan Xiaoxiao touched her hair with a desolate expression, and sat in a chair in a daze. I don't know how long it took, but it seemed that the wind was blowing outside. The lanterns in the corridor swayed with the wind, and the reflection of the red lanterns swayed in the room. Suddenly covered by shadows, Gan Xiaoxiao looked back strangely, and saw a huge black shadow on the wall behind her.

"You mean, the black shadow appeared suddenly?" Zhou Xiyu asked.

Gan Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Have you ever encountered a monster before?" Gan Xiaoxiao asked.

The big tall Sun Feng said: "I have met it. Although I have only entered two dungeons, I have seen monsters and ghosts once. You don't know. The last dungeon I entered was like Liaozhai. There were fox demons and ghosts." Female ghost, fortunately there was a celestial master who slayed demons all the way, so I saved my life, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of the game!"

Huang Shanshan took a sip of the soup gracefully: "If you ask about ghosts and ghosts, my brother and I have never encountered them before. There was a big tiger once, and it was full of dangers. Seeing how amazing you say, I really want to See for yourself."

"Farewell, the celestial master is not here, there are really ghosts and monsters, we ordinary people can't handle it!"

Chu Rui looked at the food in front of her and recalled the tea her servant gave her. She felt nauseated in her stomach and had no appetite at all. Shang Zhongli didn't know where he was and didn't come to eat. Gan Xiaoxiao drank some soup, and everyone else Eat with gusto.

After lunch, Chu Rui wandered around the back garden by herself. She only needed to walk twenty steps to enter the West Garden. After thinking about it, Chu Rui still didn't go there.

He squatted by the pond, and the fish in the pond seemed to have their own consciousness, playing freely in the water.

"What's so interesting about fish?"

There was another sudden sound, and Chu Rui was startled again. She turned her head tremblingly, and there was a pale boy standing less than one meter away from her. He was wearing a small vest and had a greasy hair combed.

"What's so fun about fish? Haven't you ever played with something fun?"

Chu Rui bravely told herself that what was in front of her was just a child, not a monster!

"Do you have anything fun?" Chu Rui asked him.

The boy held Chu Rui's hand, his hand was cold, he looked like a dead person: "I'll take you to find something fun, come with me!"

The boy took Chu Rui to a small room.

A rope was tied to the leg of the table in the house, and a small sparrow was tied to the other end of the rope. The sparrow was chirping, rushing and piercing.

"Look! My toys!"

The toy is... a sparrow?

The boy looked very excited. He took a few pieces of rice from the cabinet and put them where the sparrows could not be reached by pulling the rope, luring the sparrows. He was pulled back by the rope and hit the corner of the table.

"Hahahaha..." The boy clapped his hands, but Chu Rui couldn't laugh.

The sparrow was dizzy and was still desperately trying to break free from the rope on its feet. It pulled hard and flapped desperately from all directions. The tethered left foot suddenly broke, and the sparrow flew out but was already exhausted. It fell to the ground. The sparrow's feet were also chained to the table legs.

"Hahahahahaha..."

The sparrow must have been hungry for a long time, and with a broken leg, it was still struggling to reach the place where the rice grains were. Just as the small beak picked up the rice grains, a cat suddenly sprang out from the dark and swallowed the sparrow in one bite. Sounds and meows.

"Yeah! Hahahahahahaha..."

Chu Rui froze in place, the boy's laughter made him feel terrified.

"Why don't you laugh? Don't you think it's not fun?" The boy stared at Chu Rui, his walnut-sized eyes made Chu Rui's hair stand on end.

Chu Rui took a few steps back, fled in a panic, and ran into Shang Zhongli all the way into the garden.

"Idiot, what are you running around?"

As soon as Chu Rui saw Shang Zhongli, she suddenly felt at ease: "No... I'm sorry, I just, I just saw a child..."

"A child scares you like this?" Shang Zhongli looked down, there were still beads of sweat on Chu Rui's forehead, and he leaned back in disgust.

Chu Rui didn't mind either. After all, Shang Zhongli didn't like him, and he didn't like him either. As long as he didn't show it, Shang Zhongli could help him in danger.

"That kid, it doesn't seem normal..."

"Nonsense," Shang Zhongli interrupted him, "Brother, this is the game world, or r25 level, how many do you think are normal?"

"Hey!" Chu Rui suddenly responded.

Shang Zhongli: "?"

Shang Zhongli later realized that Chu Rui was taking advantage of him, and gave him a blank look.

Chu Rui finally took advantage of the verbal advantage, and Chu Rui was secretly happy.

"Did you find anything?" Shang Zhongli hadn't been seen since the morning, so he must be wandering around in the dungeon looking for clues, maybe he found something.

Shang Zhongli: "Ah?" He looked at Chu Rui, "There is nothing, even if there is, you stupid brain, is it useful to tell you?" After finishing speaking, Shang Zhongli left without looking back, leaving Chu Rui behind. Rui stood there angrily.

-

The hydrangea trees in the courtyard are in full bloom. Even if petals are scattered all over the place, the branches are still full of round flower buds.

"Miss, it's getting cold." The servant girl put a thick blanket on the second lady in the courtyard.

Chu Rui glanced at the plaid shirt on her body, and then at the blanket on the lady's body, and couldn't help but feel a little hot.

At the end of April...still catching a cold?

The second lady also wears a lot!

Chu Rui thought of someone.

"Brother Chu!" Luo Yuhu was writing, his pen was as powerful as a dragon's snake, and Chu Rui was amazed, "Why is Brother Chu interested in coming to my place, not with your delicate little lady?"

Chu Rui thought to herself, why does everyone think that he has something to do with Gan Xiaoxiao? Even if he was looking for a partner, he would not be old enough to find a female college student who is almost ten years younger than himself!

"Brother Luo was joking, that girl and I are friends, so I can never get the reputation of being a bad girl."

Luo Tanghu: "So it's like this, it's being rude."

Chu Rui raised her glasses: "After tomorrow's banquet, is Brother Luo going to leave?"

Luo Qinhu: "That's natural. I'm still busy in Jiangning! I don't have time to talk to Brother Chu. When I'm free, I'll make an appointment with the Emperor Qin to visit!"

"Jiangning is more than 100 kilometers away from here. It's not easy to go back and forth. Once Brother Luo leaves, Master Luo will miss him very much!" Chu Rui said calmly.

Luo Qinhu waved his hand: "My father loves my younger brother very much, besides, at this age, a man should have established a career."

"My brother?" Chu Rui asked.

Luo Tanghu: "It's my third brother."

"Third brother?"

"Yes, it's my father and Erniang's child, not very close to me."

Chu Rui asked again: "I saw a servant calling her Second Miss in the courtyard..."

"That's my second sister, who was also born to my second mother. My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and my second mother married after that."

Chu Rui raised her glasses.

"Understood, thank you."

When Chu Rui went back, Gan Xiaoxiao was sitting in the yard enjoying the flowers.

"Why are you sitting here?" Wasn't the second lady of the Luo Mansion sitting in this seat when he left?

Gan Xiaoxiao turned her head and ignored Chu Rui.

Chu Rui was at a loss. Gan Xiaoxiao stepped on him for no reason during lunch, and now he ignored him for no reason. He really didn't know how he provoked this young lady.

Chu Rui shook her head, got up and prepared to go upstairs.

"Hey!" Gan Xiaoxiao called him, "If I don't talk to you, will you really stop coaxing me?"

Gan Xiaoxiao's tone was resentful, Chu Rui stopped and walked back helplessly: "I...can't coax people."

Gan Xiaoxiao was amused by his honest appearance: "Okay, who wants you to coax, what do you have to do with me?"

Chu Rui figured it out. Could it be that Gan Xiaoxiao was angry because she said that the two only met in the game?

Chu Rui quickly apologized: "I was stupid at noon, I'm sorry, I treat you as a friend."

Gan Xiaoxiao stared at him, and after a while, sighed: "Will you always remember that I am your friend?"

Chu Rui: "Of course I will remember." Although they are several years apart, it's not that they can't be friends, at least it's a fateful friendship.

"Do you know, I gave the cloth bag to Xu Yuan's son." Gan Xiaoxiao suddenly no longer looked innocent, and suddenly felt more melancholy.

"he……"

"His son has severe aplastic anemia and is only eight years old. When I entered, he was lying on the hospital bed for blood transfusion. He also asked me with a smile, when will Dad come back..."

Gan Xiaoxiao cried, Chu Rui was caught off guard, took out a tissue from her arms and handed it to her.

"He was so young, he looked at me, but I didn't answer him, I didn't have the courage to tell him that his father would never come back...Xu Yuan died to save me, he needed money to treat his son , but he didn't get a penny, so he put his own life in it..." Gan Xiaoxiao didn't take the tissue, so Chu Rui had to sit down silently, maybe now, Gan Xiaoxiao just needs someone to accompany her.

"Why are there diseases in this world?"

Chu Rui thought for a while: "Technology is advancing, and medicine is also advancing. One day, human beings will overcome terminal illnesses one after another."

"Is that so?" Gan Xiaoxiao looked up at Chu Rui, with tears on her cheeks and a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Chu Rui was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Most definitely."
