"Ayu cousin?"

Seeing that she ignored him, he called again, his voice with a special accent.

Helplessly, she had to look up. Song Wu was in front of her. His eyes were wide open, glowing with light, and she was all in them.

The corners of his mouth were drawn together, revealing his white teeth.

She was well-dressed, with neatly trimmed nails, and had a bit of inexplicable affection and some real "improperness". This formed a strong contrast with the impression she had when she said goodbye in her previous life, which shocked Wen Yu.

She panicked and took the box with both hands.

"Thank...thank you, cousin." His voice was dry and low, his breath was very weak, and his eyes were slightly red.

Song Shang narrowed his eyes again. Something must have happened! "Huh? It hasn't been long since I last saw our little Ayu. How come she has grown so much taller?!" He sat down next to Wen Yu and glanced at everyone. Everyone was opening their presents and no one noticed him.

There was a hint of emotion in his voice. He looked at Wen Yu quietly and sighed: Alas, although you are a grown-up girl, you are still... "flat" and immature.

Haha, still a little girl...

It's my little girl!

He felt like an old fox with ulterior motives, guarding the little white rabbit eating carrots. He felt so embarrassed that his ears turned red.

Wen Yu calmed down and said, "Yes..." She opened her mouth, only to find that her throat was still tight and it was difficult for her to speak.

In their previous life, the two of them had experienced too much suffering.

He didn't know where his love came from, and he never figured it out until his death...but the feeling was real.

Don't be fooled by his usual cheerful, bright, transparent and steady appearance, and the fact that he takes everyone's feelings into consideration...it seems easy to get familiar with him or even get close to him.

In fact, Wen Yu knew that, apart from his love for his mother, he was also sincere to himself. At other times, it was out of need and habit, not from the heart. This was also... something she understood after spending a long time with him.

His surprise and outlook after finding out he was pregnant.

His pain and collapse when he lost the baby.

Although he was so good to me... it seems that he is still so now! But those painful experiences, especially the feeling when the red meat ball left my body... and the tragic deaths of the last two people...

We can't pretend that nothing happened! Wen Yu lowered her eyes and calmed down all of a sudden.

You and I: there are gratitude and resentment; there is affection and hurt! In the end, we both died.

Then let's put an end to it all! In this life, I will live well and accomplish what I want to do. Then, I will do my best to help you so that you don't end up like that.

But the rest... I can't give you that.

Song Shang saw the momentary moisture in her eyes, the confusion and pain on her face, and finally a hint of determination.

I felt even more uneasy and wanted to pull her out immediately to ask her the reason.

Wen Yu had made up her mind. She smiled politely but with distance and said no more.

Song Shang looked at her steadily and decided not to force her until he understood the situation clearly.

…

Wen Wan had already squeezed next to the old lady, showing her the things her cousin had sent her one by one. The old lady looked at them for a long time, not knowing what some of them were, and then started a heated discussion.

Wei was standing over there, and when she glanced at her husband and Wen Yu, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes turned cold.

In fact, her relationship with her husband is not exactly as it seems...

She was confident that she was a talented person and married down to the Song family. It was a blessing for Song Shang to have a wife like her. Therefore, it was necessary for her to stand up straight! But on the other hand... she hadn't given birth to a son yet. This was very troublesome in the Song family.

Moreover, she had some inexplicable feelings towards her husband. It was like: holding him in her hands, but not being able to control him...

Although I often feel uneasy, I am always motivated to fight! This is interesting!

Having said that, there was no lack of speculation, investigation, and precautions. In the end, it was still like what I felt before, it seemed like nothing was wrong, but something was wrong.

But at this moment, she clearly felt that her husband's expression and demeanor were very different! Looking at Wen Yu carefully...

Suddenly, I felt that my elaborate makeup, compared with the girl's natural and simple appearance, seemed a bit old-fashioned and tacky...

Wen Yu was obviously distant, but her husband took the initiative to come over and curry favor with her! How unreasonable!

How could a proud and arrogant person like her tolerate this? So, she also took a small box and walked over, handing it to Wen Huan, who was not far from Wen Yu.

The old lady was still fiddling with those rare items with Wen Wan, and asked Song Shang: "Really, Shang, where did you get these?!"

"If you want to give them to your cousins, A Shang must have put a lot of thought into it!" Song Shang was talking to Wen Yu while pointing at the gifts. When he heard the old lady's question, he answered casually.

Song Shang nodded perfunctorily, "Okay!" His whole mind was still on Wen Yu.

Wen Huan received the gift, and seeing how enthusiastic Wei was, she let go of her reserve, smiled sweetly and thanked him. She also said a few small words to show her respect.

"Aunt, when will we set off for Beijing?" Wei asked Yuan.

Yuan said, "After Feng'er gets married, I'm afraid we'll have to leave."

"Then my mother-in-law's birthday and the Tianlong Temple celebration will be held in a few days. You and your uncle will not be able to attend?"

Yuan's face was filled with regret. "Originally, your uncle wanted me to stay with the children... But the house in the capital has not been cleaned up yet, and your uncle has just taken office, so he has to take care of things around him... I am worried, so I have to go and watch over him."

"Yes, I just took office, and there are many things to do. But this time, the Tenryuuji Millennium Celebration is particularly grand. It is a pity that I can't attend it."

"Yes!" Yuan agreed. She did feel regretful, but this was also an opportunity to get to know some good families.

Wei was talking to Yuan, but her mind was on her husband. She saw Song Shang still talking to Wen Yu with a smile on his face, while Wen Yu kept her eyes down and remained silent.

But my husband kept talking!

Talk, talk, talk! What are you talking about... Wei was furious! Yuan knew that Song Shang was very important to the Wen family, so she was willing to protect Wei. "In the future, we can meet in the capital. You have been there many times before and know many people. I want you to introduce me to the relationship in the capital."

"That's natural."

"I heard from my mother that our two courtyards are not far from each other, just a cup of tea away...by then..." In fact, Yuan's heart had already flown to the capital.

"Yes!" Wei was not in the mood for a deep conversation. She wanted to know what Song Shang was talking about! ...

"My mother's birthday is coming up in a few days. This time, I want to give her a small celebration. I've invited the most famous theater troupe and circus troupe. We're also going to hold a horse race by the lake. Fifth brother has prepared a white horse for you. It's only two years old, and very beautiful. I chose it from among many horses. Remember, Ayu can ride a horse..."

Wen Yu ignored him, but he didn't care. He continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. Fifth Brother can teach you. Let's pick a day and set off early in the morning. We'll ride along the lake for the whole morning and have fish at Jinqiao Town for lunch. Then, we'll take a short break and go back around the west slope. There are a lot of flowers planted there, and it's beautiful along the way."

If you are interested, we can ride around the lake, but that will take a long time. You have to stay in the Wangyuan Tower for two days. I will let my sister Yier accompany you. Eh? Don’t you have two good female companions? Take them with you! Cousin will arrange everything for you, and can also send a car to pick them up. "

Song Shang spoke in a gentle voice, slowly and calmly.

Wen Yu didn't show it on her face, but she was extremely annoyed!

Why are you so long-winded? I won’t go! I won’t ride a horse! I won’t eat fish! I won’t bring anyone! But she couldn’t say…

"Cousin, there's no need to make any special arrangements. I'm not sure whether I'll go or not!" Wen Yu deliberately teased him.

"Hmm?! You must go. Oh, don't forget to bring that girl Hongdou with you."

Her name is Yan Zhu now!

Humph! "What's wrong, Xiao Ayu? I've been talking for so long, aren't you jealous? Where's the white horse? You don't even need to prepare riding clothes. I've asked someone to prepare several sets, in large, medium and small sizes!" He looked her up and down. Although she had grown taller, she was still very thin and "flat", so she should be able to wear a medium-sized one.

Wearing riding clothes, riding a white horse, with a female companion beside him, flowers everywhere, and the delicious fish, it is really beautiful to think about it. Wen Yu was almost led away, but suddenly remembered her business and interrupted him, "Cousin, I really have something to talk to you in private."

Oh, and the hairpin must be returned to him too! "Ah! Really?!" Song Shang stopped smiling, his eyes wide open, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in them.

Wen Yu couldn't help but avoid his sight... "Well... I just want to ask you for a favor or something..." Her voice lowered.

Song Shang moved closer to her, "Hmm?! Help?! Okay! No no no, what do you mean by help! If you have anything to do, just ask your cousin to do it!"

Seeing Wen Yu glaring at him unhappily, he quickly said, "Okay, okay! You set a time, and then we can talk in detail..." Then he took this opportunity to get closer and take a closer look at Wen Yu. She was really pretty! ?

The eyelashes are so dense, covering the eyes, so charming... They look a lot like me!

"Husband! Have you noticed that your eldest cousin seems to have changed?" Wei couldn't bear it any longer, so she moved sideways, stood between them, and interrupted.

He stared at Wen Yu with cold eyes.

Kind of like a snake staring at its prey.

Just like in the past...

Wen Yu's fighting spirit suddenly rose. She smiled, tilted her head, and struck a beautiful pose. "I'm one year older! Of course I'm different! Cousin, you're not the same as you were last year!"

Although this was nothing, her expression and tone were a bit pretentious and deserved a beating! She also looked Wei up and down presumptuously, with a critical and boastful look.

"..." Wei Shi was a little bit unbelievable. This girl was going crazy! She couldn't help but hit her head with anger. She was half a year older than Song Shang, and she was twenty-four. This was also one of her knots.

"Sister Ayu, what about... my cousin?! Take a closer look... is my cousin different from last year?" Song Shang ignored Wei and looked at Wen Yu with his eyes curved with a smile.

I sighed in my heart: She is so frivolous! But I like...

How do you want them to end up? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
