Chapter 114(1/2)
Su Xuezhi took Helanxue back to the study room again, closed the door, and asked her to sit down.
Helanxue didn't sit, but stood behind the door, drooping her head softly, and her eyes fell on the pair of lambskin boots she was wearing on her feet. She didn't move, and she looked stubborn and pitiful.
Su Xuezhi stopped forcing her, and stopped in front of her and whispered: "Lanxue, I still remember the first time I met you. I wonder if you have any impression of it. At that time, I had just arrived in Tiancheng a few days ago to attend a welcome party for your brother. At that time, you were with your brother. Mr. Zhuang led me to introduce it and asked me to call you auntie. You covered your mouth and smiled, your eyes were bright, and said, "You don't want me to call you auntie. At that time, I thought to myself, how could there be such a cute and beautiful girl in the world."
He Lanxue's drooping head moved for a moment, slowly raised her face and looked at her, her eyes were red and tears were faintly hidden.
Su Xuezhi continued: "Not only that, your brother laughed at that time. He said to Mr. Zhuang, "My sister is ignorant and makes people laugh, but when you look at you, your eyes are full of love..."
Su Xuezhi looked at her and smiled: "Do you know, I just met your brother not long ago, and I happened to be walking together on the boat where I went out for a few days. The impression he gave me was strong, perseverance, but also very cold, and it was difficult for people to think of being willing to get close. I didn't expect him to have such a gentle side. To be honest, I was a little surprised at that time, so I was deeply impressed. After so long, I still remember the scene clearly at that time."
She paused, "To be honest, it should be that at that moment, my impression of your brother changed."
He Lanxue looked at her in tears with tears in her eyes.
"If you don't mind my longing, I'll tell you something about my family."
After Su Xuezhi finished speaking, seeing her silent, she held her hand and took her to the chair.
He Lanxue stopped resisting, sat down obediently, and took a snow-white handkerchief handed to her by Su Xuezhi and wiped her eyes.
Su Xuezhi leaned on the edge of the table, lowered her head, looked at the little girl of the He family who was wiping her tears, and continued: "You probably haven't been to Xu Mansion. It's located in the inland city, with information blocked, old customs and customs, and it's still the same. But there is water and roads, and the business is very developed. My family is in a local county town, and it has been a big family. I have never seen my biological father. Before my mother gave birth to me, he was gone. My mother is a very capable woman. The medicinal material business in the family is managed by her.
But no matter how capable she is, she can't fight against the shackles that the whole society has put on women. If her husband dies, if the Su family does not have a male heir, she will be coveted by the clan and take away everything she has managed for half her life. Some people will choose to accept her fate, but I guess she is an extremely tough woman who refuses to accept her fate. So, after she was pregnant for ten months, gave birth to a child, and found out that she was a daughter, she turned her daughter into a son. In this way, the Su family has a young master from then on-"
Su Xuezhi watched Helanxue, who raised her head again.
"That young master, she is standing in front of you now and talking to you."
After the sound came to an end, the study room became silent. He Lanxue forgot to cry. She looked at Su Xuezhi with her face up and for a moment. Suddenly, the person jumped up from the chair.
"Young Master Su, you...you said you are a woman?"
Her eyes were wide open, and her face was shocked, even more shocking than when she accidentally ran into her brother and her sweetheart.
"Yes, I am a woman, just like you." Su Xuezhi nodded.
Helanxue looked at her up and down, suddenly covered her face, closed her eyes, and shook her head vigorously: "Impossible! How could this be possible! How could you be a woman! I don't believe it, you are lying to me!"
Su Xuezhi turned her back, untied her breasts that she had just worn back, turned around and smiled and said, "Lanxue, look, I didn't lie to you."
Helanxue mustered up the courage, finally opened her eyes, looked secretly through her fingers, and took a few glances, slowly, she put down her hand covering her face.
She stared at the young master of the Su family in front of her, which suddenly seemed to be a magic trick, looked down at her chest, then stood up, her mouth slightly opened, and she was as stupid as a wooden chicken.
Su Xuezhi then put her breasts back on her chest and then said, "Lanxue, because of my family, I have lived as a man since I was a child. After I came here, I did not deliberately deceive you. But I know that you were indeed hurt because of me, and also because of me, I misunderstood your brother. So I tell you my secret, and I hope you can get your understanding."
Her tone was extremely earnest.
Helanxue continued to look at her blankly: "Then my brother...he also knows that you are a girl..."
Su Xuezhi nodded: "Yes. He knew my secret because of chance."
Helanxue murmured: "I understand..."
She stopped suddenly, looked at Su Xuezhi, and suddenly, there seemed to be another sudden feeling of intense emotion. She turned around quickly, ran towards the door, ran a few steps, and stopped when she heard Su Xuezhi calling her behind her, but raised her hand and covered her face again, motionless.
Su Xuezhi looked very calm on the surface, but she was actually uneasy in her heart.
Just now, He Hanzhu advised his sister to come out of the study and chase him to the entrance of the hall. It seemed that he had not persuaded her well.
Judging from his sister's reaction, he probably didn't tell her that she was a woman just now.
He defended the secret that she didn't want people to know, and even his only sister was no exception. The sister of the He family was so innocent and kind that it made people feel distressed. Su Xuezhi was really moved by this brother and sister.
Not to mention anything, she did not want Helanxue to leave with a knot in her heart, nor did she want to make her affectionate brothers and sisters break out because of herself, so she made a decision at that time, confessing her identity to Helanxue and trying to gain her understanding.
But Su Xuezhi was actually inexperienced in how to persuade others. She clearly saw that her sister seemed to have accepted it a little, and suddenly her mood changed again. After thinking about it, she said carefully: "Lan Xue, I think that since I am with your brother, you are his only relative and he loves you so much, then there is no need to hide my so-called secret from you, and we should not hide it from you again..."
"Young Master Su——"
Helanxue suddenly interrupted her, called her, and then said, "Miss Su, don't say it..."
She didn't look back, continued to cover her face and said vaguely, "I understand, I am...I am..."
She paused.
"I'm almost embarrassed! I have no shame to meet people! How could I be so stupid! Do you think I'm a fool? I actually like a lady and have to compete with my brother..."
She suddenly started to cry, full of shame.
Su Xuezhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, moved again, and felt a little funny. Seeing that she was still covering her face and whimpering, she said, "How could it be? I'm so honored that you like me. You are so beautiful and cute. If I really am a man, I will definitely like you too."
Helanxue stopped crying slowly, and finally put down her hand covering her face, turned around and looked at her, her face was red and her eyes were red: "Really?"
Su Xuezhi nodded: "Really!"
Helanxue bit her lip, then lowered her pink neck and stopped talking.
Su Xuezhi waited for a while and tentatively said, "Lanxue, are you still angry? Are you willing to forgive your brother and I for hiding you?"
She was silent for a moment, shook her head slowly, and whispered: "I'm not angry anymore... I'm just a little confused..."
Su Xuezhi immediately said, "I understand. Then don't leave now, stay here, we promise not to disturb you, okay?"
Helanxue nodded softly.
Su Xuezhi held her hand and opened the door of the study. He Hanzhu stood outside the door with his hands in his pockets. He looked very uneasy. When he saw the two of them coming out, he stepped forward.
"Lanxue——"
He Lanxue didn't say anything, but lowered her head.
He Hanzhu looked at Su Xuezhi again.
Su Xuezhi said that he would take Helanxue back to his room first, and asked her to tell her her room and accompany her. He stopped at the door and smiled and said, "Lanxue, then I won't disturb you anymore. You should rest first. If you have anything else to say, you can come to me at any time."
Helanxue responded softly and walked in.
When my sister closed the door, He Hanzhu, who had just waited behind, came up immediately and pulled Su Xuezhi into his room and asked what was going on.
Su Xuezhi briefly explained the content of her conversation with Helanxue just now, and finally said: "The problem should not be very big. Let her stay alone for a while. She needs time. After digesting it, I think she should accept it."
He Hanzhu finally breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for trusting my sister so much." His tone was a little grateful.
Su Xuezhi smiled: "Lan Xue is your sister, so naturally she is not an outsider. It's all like this, there is no need to hide it from her anymore."
He Hanzhu lowered his head, looked at her silently for a moment, and suddenly hugged her in his arms, came over and wanted to kiss her.
Su Xuezhi was not in the mood to be intimate with him now. After finally persuading Helanxue, she immediately remembered her cousin and Wang Tingzhi who came with him. She avoided her, broke free from his arms, and asked where they had gone.
He Hanzhu was reminded by her, remembering the two people who had just been sent away by herself, sighed and said that he had just asked Wang Tingzhi to take Ye Xianqi outside.
I guess they are coming back soon.
Su Xuezhi reminded him to pay attention to his words and deeds again, kept a distance from him, then left him and hurried out.
Wang Tingzhi took Ye Xianqi around and guided the surroundings. Both of them were actually absent-minded. After strolling around, Ye Xianqi agreed to go back. Maybe his cousin had already gotten up. Wang Tingzhi agreed immediately, and the two of them turned back together.
On the way, Wang Tingzhi asked him to visit him tomorrow, saying that there was nothing wrong in the first lunar month and there was a bridge game, so he could partner with him. He was inconvenient, so he asked his servants to help draw cards and he was responsible for playing cards.
Ye Xianqi said: "Let me ask my cousin later and see what she says."
When Wang Tingzhi heard him mention the man suddenly, his heart twitched slightly, but he smiled as if nothing had happened on the surface: "You are your cousin, why do you even ask him about such things?"
Ye Xianqi said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. My cousin is so powerful now. Everything is better than me. How dare I not listen to her? If you don't say anything else, just talk about bridge. I used to teach her. Now she has played better than me. You have seen it on the boat before."
Wang Tingzhi was silent.
At that time, he was above his eyes and looked down on others. His life was full of luxury and as he wanted. He thought he couldn't stand the boy named Su because he owed him the favor he had saved him, and he was always worried. Whenever he thought of it, he felt uncomfortable.
It was not until later that he gradually realized that in fact, perhaps it was the so-called "one glance" that was touched by the young man named Su, his appearance, his temper, his way of saving himself, and everything was what he liked.
But what's the use? Su Xuezhi is a man.
Really, if he was a woman, no matter how many obstacles there were, he might be able to work harder to fight for his feelings.
But Su Xuezhi is a man.
The fourth brother completely cursed him awake.
The fourth brother said it very well. He was not a fellow in the first place. If he still involved himself in his so-called "like" regardless of the world, would he be Wang Tingzhi still be a human being?
A beast is worse than a beast.
Now that I remembered the various things I forced him to learn opera when I first met on the boat, Wang Tingzhi felt like a different world. Has it really happened?
He remembered the scene when he sewed the wound on his forehead on the night before his engagement.
In the future, he will definitely forget this young and depressed relationship that has never received any response.
But that night should be the closest distance between him and him in this life.
He probably can't forget it.
A faint bitter and sweet feeling slowly emerged in his heart, as if he was smelling a slightly blooming bitter lilac.
The young and depressed son of the Wang family was alone and secretly chewing the subtle and secret feelings in his heart that could not be known, and repeatedly tormented his feelings with a smile on his face, saying, "Okay, come according to his wishes, so as not to make him unhappy. I feel that his temper doesn't seem to be very good."
Ye Xianqi immediately expressed his objection: "My cousin is not a bad temper. She is just very principled, but in fact she is very kind-hearted. She came to the capital to attend the medical conference. After that, I thought she was going back, but she stayed and said she would take care of Commander He's injuries. This should be that Commander He suffered last time to save her. But I didn't expect that before the end of the year, everyone had already returned to Tiancheng. On the night of the New Year, she didn't even eat food, and pushed the principal's wife's appointment. She drove alone from Tiancheng to come here to take care of Commander He! I thought Commander He's condition was so serious. It seemed that nothing big happened just now. In short, my cousin just looked fierce, but in fact she was so kind-hearted!"
Wang Tingzhi slowly looked up, looked at the villa not far away, and stopped.
"Oh, my cousin is out!"
