There is a complete set of medical equipment on the top floor of the manor. Lu Qi went for a check-up, but Li Changsi did not go with him. He took Little Marshmallow for a walk in the courtyard.
The mountain is shaded by green trees, and it is cool and refreshing, the temperature is very pleasant, and it is very quiet. The housekeeper has recently transplanted several pomegranate trees, all of which are mature species that are more than ten years old. At this time of year, the trees are full of pleasing pomegranates.
She took a few photos and sent them to the group: Come to the mountain to pick pomegranates when you have time.
During this period, even as calm as she was, she was also affected by the mood of the people in the manor. When the time came, she vaguely realized that although she had never said it out loud, that person had gradually entered her heart over the past year. If he had an accident, she would ruthlessly cut off this thought every time it emerged.
Tian Ye: Okay, okay, I’m bored every day, @李长思, I want to play mahjong and eat pomegranates.
Lin Lushen: I can postpone my 800th concert and fly over.
Rong Shu: Close by, always available.
Xuan Yiyi: I want to come, but I don’t dare to come.
Seeing that everyone's attitude towards Li Changsi was still the same as before, Xuan Yiyi sneered. These fools probably didn't know her identity yet. No, it was Lu Qi's identity. She heard that Lu Qi lived in a mountaintop manor in Bishui Jiangting, and the whole mountain belonged to him. The top of the mountain must be so beautiful, but there was no way to inspect it, after all, not many people could go there.
Xuan Yiyi's words were quickly drowned out by the chat messages.
Lin Lushen: Sister, are you in a bad mood?
Lin Lushen keenly noticed that Li Changsi was an extremely self-disciplined person who never wasted her time. She planned everything she did, and even when she was free she would not chat with them, but drink tea, meditate, and contemplate. She lived like an extremely elegant ancient person. Was she in a bad mood and wanted to talk to someone?
Tian Ye: Hey, did Brother Lu make you angry?
Li Changsi: He's busy. I recently read a BE ancient book. The heroine died, and the hero committed suicide for love.
Tian Ye: No wonder you are in a bad mood. Suicide for love is just an ancient legend. It takes a thousand years for a lovesick person to appear. But double death is also a happy ending. Maybe they crossed the Naihe Bridge together and met again in the next life.
Lin Lushen: Yes, yes, although I also like to write some BE songs, such as the last time's Atonement, but secretly I still hope that all lovers in the world will eventually get married. In our time, let alone committing suicide for love, it is difficult to find true love. It is too difficult to meet someone you like.
Song Xingyue: I wouldn't even dare dream of such a story of deep love. Women are emotional, men are more rational, and a man committing suicide for love, that must be the ultimate love.
Xuan Yiyi: A man committing suicide for love is just a fantasy to me. As long as a man doesn't cheat on me for money or sex, I'll be thankful. Only the ancients would do that.
Tian Ye: I have to say this timidly. All the men in our group are good and self-disciplined. Ladies, please check me out. My mom is forcing me to get married again. I’m begging for an introduction…
Li Changsi's gloomy mood was relieved by Tian Ye's joke. When he looked up, he saw Song Mao standing under the tree, with a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Li Changsi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Song Mao was now somewhat hesitant to look directly at her. The longer he spent with Li Changsi and the deeper he got to know her, the more he felt that she and his master were strikingly similar in some ways. They were both aloof, unfathomable, and weary of the hustle and bustle of life. He had previously believed that no woman in the world was worthy of his master, but now he felt that, except his master, no one else could be worthy of Li Changsi.
They seemed to be made for each other. This absurd thought took root and lingered in his mind.
Song Mao lowered his head and said, "There are some things that Master never tells you. I have followed Master for many years and know more about the Lu family than others. The Lu family's patriarchs have always died at the age of thirty and have devoted all their efforts to searching for the person in the painting who can lift the curse, until Master met you.
After being with you, Mr. was prepared to die, even giving up the future of the Lu family. He only wanted to spend a short year with you. I hope you can understand the depth of his love. Being with you is a love that he has risked everything on.
Li Changsi's eyes moistened slightly: "I know."
At that time, Lu Qi didn't know her identity yet. Choosing to be with her was tantamount to betrayal. He would die at the age of thirty. If the lover's sacrifice turned out to be a change of heart, not only would it backfire on him, but he would also die in pain and there would be no reincarnation.
Later, the two of them were honest with each other, and he was mostly restrained. That was his personality. He kept everything to himself and always considered everything for her, but never said it out loud.
Song Mao was slightly stunned. Looking at Li Changsi in front of him, he didn't know why he felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe she was the right person? There was no one in the world more suitable for his husband than her.
In recent years, the gentleman would suffer from unbearable pain every time it rained or snowed. However, in the year that he had been with Li Changsi, his old illness had never recurred, and he was no different from an ordinary person in terms of being healthy and free of disasters on rainy and snowy days.
Maybe the gentleman can overcome this hurdle. In the past, Song Mao would not have dared to think about it, but now he inexplicably feels strong.
Song Mao: "Since you know everything, I will go see the gentleman first."
Song Mao retreated silently.
Li Changsi sat under the pomegranate tree, picked up the little marshmallow, stroked its furry little head, and smiled softly. Even if he had been reincarnated for a thousand years and his memory was gone, he would still like her desperately, so she would just reluctantly continue to like him.
Lu Qi's test report came out, and there was still no problem.
Wei Zhenxi simply stayed in the mountaintop manor. Lu Qi endured it and didn't kick him out. He pretended that he didn't exist. After completing a full body check, he took Li Changsi to ride a bicycle.
The mountains were cool and shady, and there were many old trees on the mountain, blocking out the sun, so they could not feel the scorching heat at all. The two of them rode a tandem bicycle along the tree-lined path in front of the manor. Little Marshmallow lay in the basket, barking excitedly, wagging his tail, and trying to catch the falling jacaranda flowers with his little paws. Then, Li Changsi smiled and pushed him into the basket.
This is a family of three!
Wei Zhenxi had a blank expression on her face: "Uncle Lu, can I apply for work injury compensation?"
The dog was tortured to death. How can a 30-year-old man still imitate students to ride a bicycle? It's childish!
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Doctor Wei, please stay for lunch. He's been in a good mood lately. He even took Miss Changsi to the vineyard to pick grapes yesterday. Can I wash a dish for you?"
Wei Zhenxi: "Lu Qi picked these grapes, so I have to taste them."
While the housekeeper was washing the grapes, Lu Qi and Li Changsi parked their bikes under the jacaranda tree and sat on a vintage wooden bench beneath the tree, reading together. Little Marshmallow was excitedly playing with the flowers and butterflies, and it was too much to bear watching!
Wei Zhenxi received a critical hit of 10,000 points and went to play chess with Song Mao.
At lunch, Wei Zhenxi called someone to send up fresh lobsters, and they had lobsters of various flavors for lunch.
Wei Zhenxi: "This lobster is so delicious. I can eat five pounds by myself. Especially the thirteen-spice flavor. Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Because they cooked a lot and it was Lu Qi's birthday, Song Mao and the housekeeper came to the table. Li Changsi couldn't eat spicy food very well, so he only ate the egg yolk flavor.
"Lobster shells are easy to prick your hands, don't peel them, I'll do it." Lu Qi lowered his eyes and peeled the lobster shell for her gracefully.
"The egg yolk flavor is better, the garlic flavor is also okay." Li Changsi smiled and picked up the shrimp meat for him.
Song Mao almost buried his head in the bowl. The housekeeper laughed happily and didn't even bother to eat.
Wei Zhenxi: I’m full, thank you.
After lunch, a heavy rain fell, and the whole courtyard was covered with lush green. Lu Qi had the habit of taking a nap, so Li Changsi accompanied him.
Normally, she could fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, but today, for some reason, she couldn't fall asleep. Looking at his handsome face with clear edges and corners, she reached out and gently smoothed his frown.
The man reached out and pressed her into his arms, but she didn't wake up.
A June rainstorm, mingled with rolling summer thunder. Lu Qi frowned. In his dream, there was a thick fog all over the sky. There was the clear and rapid sound of bells. He followed the sound of the bells into the fog. The light mist on the mountain dissipated, revealing Guoyun Mountain and the ancient green bell hanging under the wooden house.
"Sir, why does this bell ring even without wind?" The young girl in a plain skirt and cute double buns asked curiously while standing in the corridor with her face tilted up.
Her little face is as delicate as jade, she is a smaller version of Changsi, pure and lovely.
"There's no wind, but my heart is beating, and the bells are ringing." He reached out and stroked little Changsi's head, asking softly, "Is there anything you don't understand about today's lessons?"
"Yes," the little girl said distressedly, "Changsi is such a slow learner. Why is this book so thick and so difficult to understand?"
He chuckled softly and said, "You're still young. If you're already well-versed in all the schools of thought at your age, wouldn't that mean you're on your way to becoming a saint? Don't be stressed by your studies."
"Oh." The little girl became happy, pulling his sleeves that were as white as flowing clouds, and said softly, "Then grow up quickly and think."
The years in the mountains were like a fleeting tour, and they left countless footprints on Guoyun Mountain. Sometimes he went up the mountain to collect herbs, and he was worried about leaving her alone in the wooden house, so he took her up the mountain with him. When she was tired, he would catch a mountain deer and let her sit on its back, or he would carry her on his back and the deer would carry the medicine basket.
Sometimes when they were going down the mountain, the crowd was crowded and he was afraid of getting lost, so he held her hand and bought her an exquisitely shaped lantern so that even if they got lost, he could still see her in the crowd at a glance.
From the drizzling early spring to the snowy winter, the years go by, but the two of them always have three meals a day, four seasons.
Later, the girl grew up little by little, and the warm years in the mountains were broken.
The sound of the bells became more urgent. Lu Qi felt that he had merged with the man in his dream, feeling his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. Most of the time, he had no emotions, like a stubborn stone that had been tempered into the most gentle jade in the world. However, the girl grew up and left Guoyun Mountain.
The stubborn stone loses its warmth before it is refined into jade. The days in the mountains are always cold and lonely, just like the constellations in the sky. He begins to meditate and seek enlightenment in order to pass the long night.
One year, two years, three years... He gradually saw clearly the path hidden in the fog. The Great Zhou had run out of luck, and it was time for him to leave, return to the Taoist temple, and follow the path that had been determined when he was born.
But he always told himself to wait a little longer, wait a little longer. He didn't know what he was waiting for, so he never set out on that road, but waited in vain on Guoyun Mountain.
He didn't know how long he waited until the fog cleared and he saw Li Changsi coming up the mountain. Then he heard the voice in his heart, it turned out that he had been waiting for her.
It was like she had waited for several lifetimes and finally found the person in her heart. She seemed to have walked out from the depths of time, and every stroke of her pen sketched the look he liked. She walked up to him and asked, "Sir, will you come with me?"
Go? Where to? In this vast world, the cage is always in the heart. He wanted to go with her, but turned around and said softly: "We are going in different directions."
The path he wanted to take was the quiet and desolate path that led directly to the sky, while she was walking on the flashy path of the mortal world. He could not enter the mortal world, and she could not reach the sky--------------伊誮.
Then she set out on a road of no return that was covered with dark thorns without looking back. He chased after her, but he could not catch up with her no matter what.
After that, the sound of the bells began to become hoarse and broken, the thick fog was gradually dyed red by blood, and the darkness was like a giant beast that swallowed the sky and descended like an abyss. His spine was broken and he fell to the dust. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
The imperial palace flooded with blood, the collapsed Guoyun Mountain, the people buried in the coffin, the reincarnation every hundred years, the curse of dying at thirty and the memory of the moment of death. Lu Qi suddenly woke up with a cold sweat soaking his pajamas and his whole body trembling.
The corners of his eyes were bloodshot as he pulled himself out of that dark memory and hugged Li Changsi tightly.
"What's wrong?" Li Changsi's voice was a little hoarse. She was hugged tightly by him in a daze. The man was very strong and it hurt her a little.
She reached out and pushed, only to see Lu Qi hug her tighter, his voice trembling slightly: "It's okay."
"Did you have a nightmare?" Li Changsi saw that his face was pale and his hair on his forehead was slightly wet. His heart was beating like a drum. He put his hand on his chest and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
"Yeah." The chill and fear in his body were completely dispelled by those two powerful words. Lu Qi's eyes were as deep as ink. He gently stroked her hair and said hoarsely, "Changsi, I love you very much."
Whether in the past or now, he loved her so deeply and desperately. In this world, there was no joy except her.
Li Changsi was stunned, then his narrow eyes raised, and his heart felt swollen, as if he had drunk a jar of aged pear blossom wine, or as if he had drunk a cup of steaming hot tea on a cold night in late winter, warming his lungs.
She laughed softly and said, "Then let's get married."
Lu Qi kissed her hair, his eyes smiling: "The proposal should be left to the man."
The summer rainstorm stopped suddenly and the sun came out soon.
Wei Zhenxi was bored the entire afternoon, having played with Little Marshmallow. After dinner, she didn't dare leave, so she sat in the side hall, picked out Lu Qi's most expensive tea cake, drank tea, and continued to play with Little Dog.
"Lu Qi, how come your house doesn't have any entertainment facilities? What's the point of having an art gallery or a library? Aren't you afraid that Li Changsi will get bored?"
Lu Qi held her hand and asked, "Are you bored?"
Li Changsi didn't even bother to raise his head: "No, there are too many books at home, I can't read them all."
After the college entrance exam, she only finished two books. Although Lu Qi didn't explicitly forbid her to read for a long time, after being ignored for too long, he would come over and read with her, reading to her in a low, sexy voice, and then fall into bed while reading. He couldn't finish a page in an entire night, his efficiency was extremely low.
She has no time to play entertainment facilities.
"As the saying goes, you two fit the pot and the lid. Ugh, you two are truly a match made in heaven." Wei Zhenxi smiled.
Lu Qi smiled elegantly: "What does a single dog know?"
Wei Zhenxi: “…”
Fortunately, time passed quickly and they chatted until 12 o'clock. No one in the manor dared to sleep. When the midnight bell rang, they all breathed a sigh of relief to see that Lu Qi was still safe and sound.
Li Changsi read the book all night, but didn't absorb much of the content. When the antique bell rang, he threw away the book and showed his first smile of the night: "It's getting late, you all should go back and rest."
After 12 o'clock, the curse of dying at the age of thirty is broken, and this hurdle is overcome.
The housekeeper smiled happily: "Doctor Wei, Assistant Song, you two can go back first. I will take you two away."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Remember to call me if you have anything." Wei Zhenxi was relieved. Lu Qi was his good friend and the person the Wei family most wanted to cooperate with. The Lu family was mysterious and powerful, and Lu Qi was a rare genius. The best outcome was that he was fine.
The housekeeper escorted Wei Zhenxi to the door and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, Doctor Wei."
"This is a doctor's job." Wei Zhenxi smiled. After a rainstorm, the night sky was bright and the stars were shining. She looked back and saw Lu Qi and Li Changsi whispering something. As they were talking, the handsome man lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
The figures of the two gradually blended into the moonlight in the mountains.
