About Me Than the Heroine Su

Chapter 44 - chance encounter



After Hu Manrou left, Bai Chu thought she had something behind her, but she didn’t expect to wait for a long time with a glass of wine, and there was no lively sound coming.

She couldn’t help being a little disappointed. She lowered her eyes and looked at the clusters of precious flowers on the tablecloth. She was so bored that she began to think about the exquisite embroidery on the tablecloth.

The banquet was still lively and jubilant, but Bai Chu felt a little stuffy, so he quietly got up and let Shuangxi wait here, in case the princess and others suddenly asked, and he walked out of the main hall alone, his cheeks flushed by the faint smell of wine , soaked by the coolness of the night wind, the heat instantly receded.

Speaking of which, after traveling for a few months, this was the first time she was alone admiring the moon in the dark, pacing slowly, her body was empty and silent, and she had a special feeling.

【Chu Chu Chu Chu, you forgot there is me! 】

【……To shut up. 】

After wandering aimlessly for a long time, Bai Chu suddenly realized that he was lost.

She’s not worried. The Shen residence is big and small, and basically every corner has servants to patrol or watch the night. If you really can’t find the way, you can just find someone to take it with you. On the contrary, he felt that this feeling of not being able to figure out the destination was quite interesting. Bai Chu simply started to walk away with his intuition. Maybe he could go back after groping?

After a quarter of an hour, Bai Chu could not wait to swallow this bad idea back.

She stood there in a daze with a complicated expression. In front of her was a small sparkling pond. The water surface was rippling with layers of ripples. The bright full moon was reflected in it. There are lush green trees next to it, and there are vines on one wall, and the middle is dotted with beautiful and delicate pink, yellow and white flowers.

If it wasn’t for a figure in the middle of the pond who was slapping the water helplessly, shouting in panic and despair: “Help, help! Help…life!”

Listening to this hoarse voice, it should have been falling for a while.

The person who fell into the water is actually quite recognizable, looking at the delicate face with a little powder, like a hibiscus emerging from the water, a beauty is a beauty, and the desperate and urgent scene of calling for help can also make her perform so fresh and moving.

It stands to reason that Bai Chu should call someone over as soon as possible at this time, regardless of whether he is upholding the spirit of humanitarianism or out of the mentality of watching the excitement. However, there was still a person standing by the pond, with a pair of deep eyes that were even darker in the night sky. Looking at it so coldly, Bai Chu couldn’t move.

Silently took a deep breath, her bright brows showed a three-pointed timid color, lining the cinnabar moles that gleamed at the end of her eyes, and the Chuchu style was mixed with a few exciting colors, in a desolate fantasy. , more and more people can’t take their eyes off.

“Uncle,” her lips raised a shallow arc, “Why are you here?”

It was Shen Jingzhi standing by the pond.

He is dressed in a black robe, which seems to be mixed with silver threads, and flashes a few sharp rays of light in the dimness. .

He glanced at her lightly, but didn’t answer, and whispered a syllable: “Help.”

Before Bai Chu could react, a black figure suddenly appeared in the sky, as if jumping from a branch, quickly grabbing Hu Manrou, who was undulating in the pond, and threw the person on the ground without pity. , then disappeared.

The whole process was as fast as lightning, and Bai Chu saw nothing but a black shadow.

The rescued Hu Manrou was already in a coma. The dress on her body had been changed to the moonflower dress of pink stamen dancing butterflies. The texture was light and soft. It just fell into the pool and fluttered like a flower in water. Now, the color is clear, and the skin that is as white as snow is looming, which is especially attractive.

Bai Chu couldn’t help but looked up at Shen Jing curiously, but unexpectedly, people’s attention was completely lost on the lively scene on the grass, and all the sharp eyes that seemed to pierce the heart fell on her, Bai Chu couldn’t help it. Pushed back a step, obviously did not do anything, why is so guilty…

“Brother and sister.” Shen Jingzhi said coldly, with his naturally low and indifferent voice, he couldn’t tell anything else, “Why are you here?”

Bai Chu Muran, wouldn’t he suspect that he was conspiring with Hu Manrou?

“I drank too much at the banquet and felt dizzy, so I went out for a walk.” Bai Chu tried to make his smile gentle and harmless, “How about you, uncle? How could she, how could she fall into the water?”

Shen Jingzhi didn’t answer her at all, and turned to look at Hu Manrou, who was lying on the ground silently, without any emotion in his tone, and said calmly, “Who is this?”

“…?”

Bai Chu almost didn’t laugh out loud, and looked down at Hu Manrou, wondering if it was an illusion, her body seemed to tremble slightly.

Even she couldn’t help but feel full of sympathy: “Did Uncle forget? This is Miss Hu from the second aunt’s family, who came back to Beijing with you.”

Shen Jingzhi frowned, thought for a moment, then looked away indifferently, and said to Bai Chu, “Then trouble brother and sister to find a doctor for Miss Hu.” After that, there was no pause, and he was about to leave in big strides.

Just as he brushed past her, Bai Chu suddenly reached out and pulled out his… uh, belt?

When the other party looked over with her eyebrows raised, she whispered, “I-I seem to be lost… Can you tell me the general direction?” Before he could answer, she hurriedly added, “You Don’t worry, I just said that I accidentally ran into Miss Hu and fell into the water accidentally.”

Shen Jingzhi met her wet and cautious eyes, as if he was scared, his slender and small hands were boldly and stubbornly hanging on his belt, for fear that he was about to run away, he was silent for a while, and then said: “You are dry. “

“Ah?” Bai Chu blinked blankly.

“Can she still climb ashore by herself?” Shen Jingzhi’s indifferent tone somehow made her hear a hint of irony, Bai Chu retracted his hand embarrassedly, his black and white pupils became clearer in the moonlight, and he stared at tremblingly He, with a little doubt, then moved his small body back slightly, as if he was a little defensive.

“You, you won’t kick me down, will you?”

Shen Jingzhi almost couldn’t believe his ears: “What?” Although his expression was cold and serious, he was the only one who knew the moment of speechlessness. Shen Jingzhi considered himself to be a well-planned person who was accustomed to everything. I didn’t expect anyone to be able to do this kind of brain circuit.

“You think I kicked her off?”

Bai Chu hesitantly glanced at the pitiful Hu Manrou who was lying on the ground, swept by the night wind, then looked at the tall and straight Shen Jingzhi, paused for a while, and then quickly shook his head: “I’m not, I don’t.”

No, what’s the matter with this atmosphere of coercion and subversion?

Shen Jingzhi didn’t speak again for a long time, looking at Bai Chu’s innocent little face, the complexity in his eyes was hard to describe for a while, and in the end he didn’t know what to say, “It wasn’t me, she fell by herself.”

“Oh oh oh.” He nodded hurriedly, no matter how he looked at it, he didn’t seem to believe it.

Shen Jingzhi sighed, feeling the irritability and helplessness that he hadn’t had in a long time. He also felt that Shen Jingzhi was staring at her because she was deliberately doing it. Now it seems that it is just his brother’s bad taste.

When he was a child, he loved to bully other children because of his cleverness. He used to regard Yuzhi as the best object for fun. The endless pranks once made Shen Yuzhi reflexively cry when he saw his second brother. Psychological shadow, if it wasn’t for Shen Jing’s ruthless punishment, Shen Yuzhi probably wouldn’t be able to grow up so healthy.

Maybe his three younger siblings are the new targets of his second brother? This is too outrageous!

Bai Chu looked at Shen Jingzhi’s face getting darker and darker, and couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, don’t she want to play it off?

“It’s inconvenient for you to participate in this matter,” Shen Jingzhi said again, although his tone was blunt, but only listening to what was inside, it still contained a hint of comfort, “You just go back and tell your mother that Miss Hu passed out here, and find a way to find a house. The doctor is here, and I will explain it later.”

This is to take everything on himself, and instead give Bai Chu a good reputation for being righteous and brave.

“Then, thank you very much.” She raised her eyes hesitantly, as if she finally believed in him, slowly opened a pure and charming arc, and whispered, “I’m sorry. I just…” She doubted herself Some guilt, bright eyes like a crescent moon, “Can I call you eldest brother in the future?”

Because I didn’t understand it just now, I subconsciously retreated and was full of apology, so do I express my closeness and trust in this way?

Shen Jingzhi’s grasp of people’s emotions is always worse than Shen Yongzhi’s. He simply doesn’t need a lot of superb skills to control people. He is known for his strength and ruthlessness. With his extraordinary ingenuity, he can also exchange for the loyalty of his subordinates. and surrender.

But he, who has always been lazy and tangled in other people’s thoughts and thoughts from the details, can now clearly understand her intentions from the clear eyes that she does not shy away from. This is the first time.

Shen Jingzhi stared at her for a while, as if scrutinizing, but at the same time, as if she was just looking at her, the poor Hu Manrou over there couldn’t hold on anymore, the autumn atmosphere filled the air, it was still hot during the day, but the night wind at night could be freezing cold. People were shivering, a woman like a weak willow supporting the wind, just fluttered in the pond for so long, was brought ashore and left on the grass for a long time without paying attention, who can hold it?

Just listening to a soft murmur, Hu Man, who was lying on the grass, slowly woke up. From comatose to awake, she brewed for a while, and at the moment when she was about to turn her head, Bai Chu suddenly grabbed Shen Jingzhi’s arm with both hands and pulled it. He quickly ran to the place covered by the trees.

Shen Jingzhi: “!”

Hu Manrou: “???”

Out of thoughts that he didn’t even know, Shen Jingzhi didn’t break free, watching her hummingly dragging him forward, her breathing gradually increased, and it was obvious that she was working very hard.

Suddenly, a shallow hole was opened in the bottom of my heart, and before I felt any pain, it was covered by a small burst of joy.

Shen Jingzhi suddenly understood his second brother who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
