Chapter 74 Meeting
"Engaged!?"
Gu Jue was shocked.
Yu Chi was stunned.
"Go and pull Qiao Jin back."
As soon as he spoke, Feng Wuqing ran out in a hurry, followed by Gu Jue.
If Yi Luo was really engaged, even the people in the teahouse would know.
Then if Qiao Jin pursued Yi Luo again and expressed his feelings, everyone's spit would be enough to drown him.
It was okay before, after all, the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, and if he pursued her boldly, others would praise Qiao Jin for daring to love and hate, and loving passionately and openly.
But it's different now that Yi Luo is engaged.
This is no different from trying to steal someone else's wife.
Feng Wuqing and Gu Jue took a step ahead, and Yu Chi was about to catch up when a person walked over on the path beside the lobby.
Her hair was blown down by the wind, she raised her hand to tidy it up and put it behind her ears.
It was Jiang Li.
She raised her eyes and saw Yu Chi, smiled and saluted Yu Chi.
At this time, the wind blew, lifting the hems of Jiang Li and Yu Chi's clothes. One of them stood on the steps and the other stood at the bottom of the steps.
Yu Chi curled his lips and smiled.
"Miss Jiang Li, do you want to go with me?"
Jiang Li didn't quite understand what Yu Chi meant, and tilted her head in confusion, very puzzled.
...
Feng Wuqing and Gu Jue found Qiao Jin at the door of a small courtyard. At that time, there were already many people surrounding them.
Standing in the center, in addition to Qiao Jin, there was also Yi Luo.
Next to Yi Luo stood a gentle and elegant young man, handsome and bright, who seemed to be a perfect match for Yi Luo.
Qiao Jin was silent.
Many people present actually came to see Qiao Jin laugh. The young man of the City Lord's Mansion expressed his feelings to a girl nine times. He
was rejected every time.
Now the girl is getting engaged.
And the man she is engaged to is standing next to her, and she met Qiao Jin face to face.
They wanted to see Qiao Jin's reaction.
Qiao Jin did not move for a long time, looking at Yi Luo and the young man for a long time, and finally sighed.
"Have you decided?"
Yi Luo lowered her eyes, and there was a rare touch of emotion on her stunning face, and her cold eyebrows softened slightly.
"Yeah."
"Then, can we talk?"
Qiao Jin asked her.
Yi Luo looked at the person next to her.
"Bai Heng?"
Bai Heng had heard a little about Qiao Jin's pursuit of Yi Luo. The second young master of the City Lord's Mansion was not a bad person, so he certainly had no objection.
He leaned to the side and made a gesture of invitation.
"Come in, Second Young Master Qiao."
Qiao Jin entered the house first, followed closely by Bai Heng.
Feng Wuqing and Gu Jue looked at each other. When they were wondering whether to follow Qiao Jin, Yi Luo looked towards them.
To be precise, he was not looking at them, but behind them.
They turned around.
They saw Yu Chi, and Jiang Li who came with Yu Chi.
She was wearing light clothes, walking lightly, and had a gentle look. Her temperament was completely different from Yi Luo.
Yi Luo opened and closed her lips, pushed through the crowd and walked in front of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li smiled gently, and Yi Luo frowned at the first sight, with sadness in her eyes.
She raised her hand and stroked Jiang Li's face, her expression moved.
"Silly girl."
Jiang Li held Yi Luo's hand, and her hand was warmer than her own.
Yi Luo combed her hair for her. This was the first time she stood face to face with Jiang Li.
"The person he is looking for is you, right?"
Jiang Li didn't understand what Yi Luo said, but she saw the pain in Yi Luo's eyes, and Yi Luo felt sorry for her.
Yu Chi spoke at the right time.
"Miss Jiang Li can't hear."
Yi Luo paused, and looked at Yu Chi with some embarrassment. How did Jiang Li usually communicate with people? Yu
Chi then remembered that Jiang Li almost always followed Qiao Jin when she went out before.
In other words, Qiao Jin is her ears and his mouth.
This is the first time that she went out without Qiao Jin, but was brought out by herself.
It seems that everyone in the Qiao family knows some sign language to facilitate communication with Jiang Li. Jiang
Li can't seem to accurately guess what the person said by looking at the mouth shape.
It's a bit troublesome.
By the way...
"Feng Wuqing."
"I'm here!"
Feng Wuqing and Gu Jue watched from the side for a long time, and finally heard Yu Chi calling him.
The two ran to them, and Yu Chi made room for him and stood next to Gu Jue.
"You know sign language, come on."
Feng Wuqing shook his head.
"I only know a little bit. As for sign language, Qiao Jin is actually the most proficient."
It is said that Qiao Jin had already started learning when Jiang Li's ears just started to blur and he could not hear. He was with
Jiang Li so that they could communicate normally in the future. Moreover, the sign language of other people in the City Lord's Mansion was all taught by Qiao Jin.
When Qiao Jin called Jiang Li and Jiang Li could not turn back in time, Qiao Jin knew that sooner or later there would be a day when Jiang Li would never hear their voices again.
He asked the teacher in the school how to communicate with someone who could not hear or speak.
The teacher asked him if someone in his family was deaf.
He said yes, his family members were about to lose their hearing, and he was afraid that one day he would become completely deaf, so he came to ask the teacher.
The teacher asked him again if the man could read.
He said he could read.
There were many things that the general would meet, and literacy was the easiest thing for him.
The teacher gave him a small notebook and a pen. He
told him that he could communicate by writing.
Qiao Jin was not very satisfied.
"What if we are outside? What should we do?"
It is impossible to carry pen, ink, paper and inkstone with you all the time, right?
The teacher pondered for a long time, and found a slightly yellowed book from the library of the school and gave it to him.
He told him that the book recorded a way to communicate with the deaf and mute without pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and that was sign language.
Qiao Jin was learning sign language secretly at first, but was later discovered by Jiang Li. Jiang Li wrote it on a piece of paper and asked him.
[If only you learn it, won’t I still not understand it?]
Qiao Jin suddenly realized, yes, if only he learns it and Jiang Li doesn’t understand the meaning of those movements, then isn’t it useless for him to learn it?
In the days that followed, Qiao Jin and Jiang Li learned sign language together. Jiang
Li learned quickly and Qiao Jin was also smart. Before Jiang Li became completely deaf, they finished learning the entire book and absorbed it. They
could communicate face to face without any hindrance. If Jiang Li wanted to go out, Qiao Jin had to follow her and act as Jiang Li’s ears and mouth.
Listen and speak for her.
Later, Qiao Jin taught Qiao Yu, Qiao Qing, and City Lord Qiao some simple sign language.
Even Feng Wuqing and Feng Wuyou learned something.
...
Feng Wuqing listened to Yi Luo's words and made a few gestures to Jiang Li in a stumbling manner, which made Jiang Li confused.
Finally, she guessed that Feng Wuqing said Yi Luo invited her to go into the house and sit down. Jiang
Li shook her head and refused. She didn't want to face Qiao Jin at this time.
She patted Feng Wuqing's hand, pointed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and asked Feng Wuqing to take her back.
Feng Wuqing understood and apologized to Yi Luo.
"Sorry, Miss Jiangli wants to go back."
Yi Luo was a little disappointed, but finally nodded and asked Feng Wuqing to take her back.
Seeing their backs walking away, Yi Luo turned around and saw Yu Chi and Gu Jue still standing beside them, with no intention of leaving.
"You guys?"
Yu Chi glanced at Yi Luo, his eyes drifting towards Jiang Li and Feng Wuqing who had already walked away.
"Miss Yi Luo, why do you say that Miss Jiang Li is stupid?"
Yi Luo paused, then sighed.
"Do you know that she has lost some of her senses?"
Gu Jue was puzzled.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Yi Luo narrowed her eyes and smiled, speaking softly in a voice that only the three of them could hear.
"I am not a human like her."
Gu Jue widened his eyes and looked at Yu Chi, but he didn't see it, but Yu Chi shook his head at him.
He didn't see it either.
Yi Luo seemed to have guessed what they were thinking.
"It's normal that you can't tell. I've lived a long time, long enough to pretend to be an ordinary person in the crowd."
The crowd around her dispersed. Bai Heng saw that she was still late, so he came to the door to call her.
Yi Luo took two steps forward and turned back to call them.
"Come in and sit down."
