Chapter 533 Extra 1: Rita
In a villa somewhere in the UK.
A slim woman stood in front of the bed, looking at the scenery outside the window, with a sad expression on her delicate face.
She held an invitation in her hand.
Not far behind her stood a middle-aged man with graying hair.
Li Chuan looked at his young lady's lost expression and couldn't help but sigh.
My young lady has become like this since she received Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu’s wedding invitation two days ago.
Li Chuan once thought that the moment his daughter decided to study abroad, she would completely forget about summer.
During the two years she studied in the UK, she never returned home once.
It seemed that she had really let go of her feelings for Xia Tian.
However, from the moment she received the wedding invitation, Li Chuan knew that the way her young lady had behaved in the past two years was just what she deliberately wanted to show.
Deep down in her heart, she has not forgotten summer.
Now it seems that the young lady went abroad to study just to escape from that place.
I don't want my existence to make Xia Tian and Ye Ningyu feel distressed.
Li Chuan stepped forward and said:
"Miss, have you decided to return to China? The master already knows about Master Xia and Miss Ye's wedding. Judging from his attitude... it seems that he is not willing to let you return to China during this period of time."
Shen Lexi turned around and looked at the old housekeeper who had been with her since she could remember, and she smiled.
She no longer had the arrogance she once had, nor did she have the hatred she once had towards Shen Gaofeng.
As she gets older, Shen Gaofeng has planned to step back.
As soon as Shen Lexi returns to China, Shen Gaofeng will hand over the entire Shen Family Group to her.
"Uncle Li, I should have returned home by now. My studies in the UK ended two months ago.
I know what my dad is worried about. It's unnecessary to worry about it, and you don't have to think too much about it. As Ye Ningyu's best friend, I should go back to be her bridesmaid at her wedding no matter what. ”
"But......"
Li Chuan hesitated to speak.
Shen Lexi smiled and shook her head: “It’s okay, Uncle Li, but before I go back, I have to go see Ailer. This time when I go back… I probably won’t come to England again.”
"Mr. Eller... Yes, we should go meet him, Miss, please give him my regards."
"Um."
Shen Lexi nodded in agreement.
.......
"Rita, are you going back to your country?"
A blue-eyed young man in his twenties stood in front of Shen Lexi.
His face is delicate and three-dimensional, with soft and elegant lines, as if it were a work of art carefully carved by nature. Her eyes are deep and bright, like a blue lake, sparkling with wisdom and vitality.
His temperament was mature and gentlemanly. Just standing there, he was very pleasing to the eye and attracted the attention of many women on the street.
He is full of confidence and strength, his lips are rosy and full, and the slightly upward curve reveals a confident smile.
"Well, Elle, I have to go back. My best friend is getting married, and I'm going to be her bridesmaid."
"It's such a happy thing. Give my regards to that beautiful lady."
Eller smiled, showing a very sunny smile, paused, and continued: "By the way, Rita, did your good friend also get married in Chang'an? Knowing where your hometown is, I have read a lot of books about Chang'an and also consulted Professor William who is familiar with the history of your country.
Professor William said that Chang'an was the ancient imperial capital of your country, and I heard that it was really beautiful. In Chang'an, there is the boy you like. You will definitely be very happy when you return home! ”
Eller said with a smile on his face.
Rita is the English name of Shen Lexi when she was studying in the UK. On her first day at school, Eller was attracted to this oriental girl at first sight.
A passionate pursuit immediately began.
But after learning that Shen Lexi had a lover, he restrained his admiration for her and just stayed quietly by her side as a friend.
Chen Lexi inexplicably didn't dislike this boy named Aier, because his words and actions were always gentlemanly and he appeared mature enough.
He has many suitors in school, but Eller declares that he will not accept love from anyone except Rita.
Also, in order to have enough respect for Rita.
Ayler specially hired a teacher to learn Chinese.
Now he can speak Chinese fluently.
Listening to Ayler's words, Shen Lexi looked at the cars passing by on the road in a daze.
After a few seconds of silence, she regained her composure and said to Eller:
"Ailer, Chang'an is indeed beautiful, but what you are talking about is the Chang'an in the book, which has nothing to do with me."
"How could that be? There is someone you like there. I think he must be a very good boy to make you like him so much. I have been with you for so long, but you have never had any feelings for me between men and women. Compared with him, I am far inferior."
Although Eller had a smile on his face, his words were gentlemanly and gentle.
But in those deep blue eyes, there was clearly an unconcealable sense of loss.
Shen Lexi shook her head, looked at Ayler seriously and said:
"Eller, I think you and he are equally good boys...but I'm sorry, the person I like is not you."
“Of course I know, even though it’s a little sad, that’s how love is… But I’m curious, since you like him so much, why don’t you be with him?
Rita, you are such an outstanding girl, I think there is no gentleman who can resist your charm. ”
Shen Lexi smiled bitterly.
Yeah?
She once thought so.
But that person really is not attracted by her charm.
"Ella, he's getting married."
"Oh my! Do people in your country like to get married these days?"
Eller was very surprised.
But Shen Lexi just smiled and didn't explain.
She didn't tell Eller that the boy she loved was her best friend.
"Eller, take care of yourself. After I return home this time... I may not come to England again. This may be the last time we meet. I am here to say goodbye to you."
Eller smiled indifferently: "It's okay, Rita, you Chinese have an old saying, there is a long way to go.
I have applied for a visa to your country. I will go to Chang'an to find you. Maybe we can do it like in the books and movies.
On a snowy night, we had an unexpected and romantic encounter on the street. ”
Shen Lexi was amused by the somewhat naive boy in front of her.
She smiled and put her hands back into her windbreaker pockets.
"Ella, life is not like a movie. There aren't so many unexpected encounters."
"this....."
Eller felt a little lost. He was silent for a moment, then seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"Rita, please allow me to be rude for once... Can you tell me your address? I'll go back to find you."
Chen Lexi didn't answer Eller, she looked at the street light across the street.
Slowly speaking:
"Ailer, you know what? I've met a lot of people, but he's the only one I've kept in my mind for so long... You should be able to see that I don't have much contact with too many men, but I have the best relationship with you.
This is because I see my own shadow in you. So, let’s stop here. I’m going back to my country. Don’t think about me anymore. I will only make you suffer. ”
Being rejected, Eller lowered his head sadly.
But he would never repeat a second time something that Shen Lexi had refused.
Eller nodded: "Okay Rita, can I go to the airport to see you off tomorrow? I want to see you again. I can stand far away."
"Um."
Ayler raised his arms, subconsciously wanting to give Shen Lexi a farewell hug.
This is a basic custom in their country.
But then he remembered that Rita was not from his country, so he immediately put his arm down.
"Well.....Rita, goodbye. I am very happy to be your friend for two years."
"Me too, Elle."
Shen Lexi's nose felt a little sour.
There is an indescribable feeling in my heart.
But she knew very well that she was not in love with Eller, it was just that the separation made her a little sad.
Chen Lexi put her hands in her pockets and left, leaving only a cold back to Aila.
Eller stood on the streets of London and watched his beloved girl leave.
"Rita...I haven't called you by your Chinese name yet."
"Chen...Le Xi. Le Xi, you must really want him to call you that, right?"
Ailer smiled. He really wanted to see what the man Shen Lexi liked looked like.
What kind of man could make a nearly perfect woman like Shen Lexi fall deeply in love with him?
......
"Xiao Shen, you're finally back. I missed you so much!... Hey, Butler Li, why do you have so many white hairs?! Did you find a young British girl in England? Tsk tsk tsk, you old and dishonest Butler Li!"
As soon as Luxi came up, he hugged Shen Lexi.
But when he saw Li Chuan behind Shen Lexi, he couldn't help but tease her.
Li Chuan's face turned red: "Ms. Lu, please don't make fun of me. I'm old, how can I find a young British... girl?"
"Le Xi, long time no see~"
Ye Ningyu was quietly not far away, and she smiled softly at Shen Lexi.
Shen Lexi was startled, she walked over and hugged Ye Ningyu.
"Xiaoyu, long time no see. Congratulations... you're finally getting married to Xia Tian!"
Soon, the three sisters walked out of the airport together.
Lu Xi took Shen Lexi's hand and began to discuss what problems to give Xia Tian on the wedding day.
There are only ten days left until the wedding, and time is passing quickly.
Finally the wedding day arrived.
After completing all the procedures, it was the turn for the bride and groom to stand on the stage and give speeches to each other.
Chen Lexi stood in the audience, looking at Xia Tian in his groom's suit and Ye Ningyu in her wedding dress, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
The groom does not belong to her, and it is not her who puts the wedding dress on him.
But at this moment, Shen Lexi suddenly felt unprecedented relief in her heart.
She wiped the tears from her face and laughed from the bottom of her heart:
"Xia Tian, Ye Ningyu, happy wedding!"
