MTL - Heroine Saves A Gentleman-Chapter 40
Zhou Xiaoxiao came to L city alone.
This is a small island city by the sea.
The climate is pleasant and the pace of life is slow.
Zhou Xiaoxiao followed the address given to her by the eldest princess and found a small western house on the edge of the tree-lined path.
This is probably a building left in the period of the Republic of China. After modern reinforcement and renovation, it not only reveals a heavy cultural heritage, but also has a unique low-key luxury.
In the courtyard, the roses are blooming in full bloom, and they pour out their heads from the simple wall.
This is the home of the princess.
It's just that the flow of time in the two worlds is so chaotic and different. I don't know what situation is inside.
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked up at those swaying flowers on the wall.
Remembering that in the distant time and space, when I first met the Highness Princess, she was sitting still in such a courtyard with blooming roses.
Her Highness, despite her distinguished status and good wishes, still misses her loved ones in her hometown, and she must have such a regret in her heart.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stepped forward and knocked.
A kind-looking, silver-haired elderly lady came out to answer the door.
"Are you looking for shrimp? Fine girl?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao froze for a moment. The lady and Her Royal Highness had obvious similarities between the eyebrows and the eyebrows.
"Hello, mother-in-law, is there a lady named Cheng Chiye here?"
"No, the little girl is not a native." The mother-in-law smiled kindly: "My family is named Cheng, but there is no one named in the family. I only have a son named Cheng Qianluo."
At this moment a luxury car passed by them and drove into the courtyard.
The window fell, revealing a male face almost identical to the founding princess.
The door was opened, a suit and leather shoes, hair combed undisturbed, a frameless glasses on the bridge of the nose, a young man with some successful personality, got out of the car.
He is only in his early thirties and is still very young.
The mother-in-law introduced: "That's my son."
...
Zhou Xiaoxiao resigned, and she felt confused.
Neither the address nor the person is wrong.
But no one knew about Cheng Chiba.
Was walking in doubt. Suddenly I heard someone calling her behind.
"please wait for a moment."
She turned around and saw the mother-in-law's son catching up.
He came to Zhou Xiaoxiao, raised his glasses, and remained silent for a long time.
"Is the person you are talking about my twin sister?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Cheng Chiba? Your sister?"
"Finally, someone remembers her like me." The man seemed to take a breath. "It's not something that can be said in a few words, can we find a place to sit for a while?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Cheng Qianluo sat in a sea cafe.
The environment here is quiet.
From the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the vast sea and hear the sound of the waves.
Cheng Qianluo stirred the coffee in the cup and seemed to have fallen into a long time of contemplation.
Zhou Xiaoxiao said tentatively: "Long ... not ... Chiba is your sister?"
Judging from his age, the eldest princess was enough to be his mother.
"My name is Cheng Qianluo, and I have a twin sister, Cheng Chiba."
Cheng Qianluo sighed and muttered to himself.
"Leaves fallen leaves. It was my father who was a seaman and gave us his name."
"My sister and I have had a good relationship since childhood. She has a lively personality. She often likes wearing my clothes, imitating my voice, posing as me and joking with others. Often no one can see through."
"But one day, Chiba suddenly disappeared."
He inserted his fingers into his hair and scrambled his neat hairstyle.
"No, it's not missing. She disappeared, whether it was her parents or friends, and suddenly no one remembered her existence."
"No trace of her can be found at home, school, work, anywhere. There is nothing for her in the room, and there is no image of her in the photo. It's as if there is no such person as her in this world."
"She disappeared? Never appeared again?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked.
Cheng Qianlu stretched out his hand and took a sip of coffee, restraining his emotions.
"Sorry, I'm sick."
He took off his glasses and wiped them.
"Miss Zhou, have you seen Chiba somewhere?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "Speaking of which you may not believe, I was also a coincidence and met her in a strange encounter. I can only tell you that she can't come back for a while, so I was asked to come here and take a look at you And see if her family is doing well. "
"No, no, I believe in you. There was a time when I thought it was a mental problem. No one around me remembered her, and there was no trace of evidence that she had existed. But I do have a blood connection, My twin sister, who grew up together, lives so vividly in my memory. "
Cheng Qianlu put on his glasses and restored the calmness that a mature man should have. He looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao with his eyes exactly like the eldest princess.
"Thank you for coming to bring me her news. You have solved the doubts in my heart for years. I just want to ask, Chiba, she has been doing well these years."
...
After bidding farewell to Cheng Qianluo, Zhou Xiaoxiao got on the return flight.
Looking at the sea of clouds outside the window, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt that the doubts in his heart were not solved, but even more confused.
She suddenly realized that if she went back this time, she might be like Chiba and would never return.
Parents may forget about themselves, the world has no trace of its existence.
Which side should I give up?
Willing?
Zhou Xiaoxiao felt that he was in a dilemma.
She dragged a little tired body back home, and the porch of the house was lit with a small warm lamp.
As long as she is not home, no matter how late, the mother will keep such a small lamp for her.
As soon as she entered, his brother Zhou Zisi jumped out and pulled her into his bedroom.
"Well, sister, are you crazy? Why are you playing so much money on my card?"
"Not for you. Send your card for a while." Zhou Xiaoxiao gave him a glance. Sitting across from him, he reached out and touched his brother's messy head. "That's all my net worth. Don't mess with me."
"Older sister, what's the matter with you? I think you're weird recently. Is it because of Xue Chunjian?" Zhou Zisi jumped up. A hole gives you gas. "
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled: "Zi Si. You have grown up and matured. Don't say such daring things, parents and sisters will still rely on you in the future."
"Sister, you have something, you must be hiding something from me!"
"I'm in trouble. I'm in love. Come, let me show you a portrait of your brother-in-law. My parents have seen it."
"Wow, are you so handsome? No no no, you must have added ten layers of filters to make it look like this. I want to see the real person face to face."
...
At the moment in Yu Xingzhi's study.
Cheng Shizhao, Cheng Shiqi, Yu Xingzhi, the three screened back, discuss the room.
Cheng Shizhao knocked on the table and said, "What are you talking about? You look at you with a smirk, are you listening to me?"
Yu Xingzhi returned to God: "Cousin forgive me, I walked for a moment."
Cheng Siqi cried and said with a sad face, "Brother Yu, your sister-in-law's illness should not be contagious. You have been sitting and laughing recently. Why do I think you are more embarrassing than looking at it a few days ago?"
Cheng Shizhao fanned on his head: "Hu Hulie, take care of yourself first, how many times have I told you, do not deal with those businessmen, especially those who travel between Liao and China Hu Shang, there is a Khitan spy in Baoqi. "
Cheng Shiqi covered her head: "But the old couples went south and north, and they learned extensively. Listening to them talked about the local culture and people's sentiments. There has been a great increase in knowledge. Is there a recent change in Khitan? Didn't I just open a side market with them and recover? Is there trade? "
"Those barbarians are cheap and shameful, cunning and cruel. After losing a battle, they apparently shook hands with us in Dajin, and their relationship with the state is still full of bad water. Recently, Kyoto seems to have a lot of Khitan spies, and I do n’t know what the barbarian is doing The idea must be guarded. "
Yu Xingzhi: "The Holy Lord ordered me to cooperate with Jingzhao Yin to prevent Kyoto public security, and it is precisely because of this."
As I was talking, there was a knock outside the door.
Yu Tong entered the door. "If you go back to Wu Ye, sister Juan Zi will send someone to say that everything is OK with his wife. He has gone to bed, so Wu Ye doesn't have to worry."
Yu Xingzhi replied: "Go tell Juan Zi and take good care of my wife, I will come immediately."
Yu Tong retired.
Cheng Shizhao suddenly remembered the incident and frowned, "Zigu, you walked well on the streets of Kyoto in the past, but was looted to Shu by the Lin Bingren. I always feel that this is quite wrong. You must do it without the inner ghost. You have Didn't troubleshoot the Fuzhong up and down? "
Yu Xingzhi said in a deep voice: "Every time I met that calamity, how could my father and elder brother not be angry, they turned the whole state government several times. Indeed, there were a few people who had missed my whereabouts. The rest were never found."
Late at night,
Yu Xingzhi was lying on the bed, and Zhou Xiaoxiao hugged him and remained silent.
Yu Xingzhi noticed Zhou Xiaoxiao's abnormal mood.
"Xiaoxiao? What happened to you today?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao touched his face and remained silent.
Yu Xingzhi sensitively discovered that something was wrong.
"Xiaoxiao, what's the matter? Don't you tell me?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao drew a picture on his chest with his fingers.
Write slowly two words: nothing.
Yu Xingzhi sighed and said in a gentle but serious tone: "Xiao Xiao, you once told me that we should go side by side and support each other. Although I am not as strong as you, I am not a weak man. If you have trouble, let me know. "
The finger rolled around his chest a few times.
Write the words slowly: Xingzhi, where is the eldest princess?
"His Royal Highness Princess travels a lot and has never returned to Beijing, but you have to ask her how to return?"
I can't find a way to go back.
Yu Xingzhi took a breath and slowly said, "Xiao Xiao, don't be impatient. We can get together like this every day, it's very good. We work together, look on both sides, and believe that one day we can find a way to let you My husband and wife were reunited. I asked for information about the eldest princess and told you as soon as I heard back. "
That finger end wrote a line of handwriting: Princess Dachang and I are from the same world. If you see the princess, tell her that I see her family. Her family is very nice, her brother misses her very much.
Suddenly Yu Xingzhi was a little scared. He noticed Xiaoxiao's reluctant attachment to his hometown and relatives. However, he had no other choice.
He rolled over, hugging the beloved tightly, and kissing her frantically.
Sorry Xiaoxiao, I can't agree with you to stay in my hometown, I really can't live without you.
