The handkerchief of an old friend
The entrance to the mourning hall was filled with flowers, but before I even got close, I felt an inexplicable sadness that made me want to cry.
That's not just sadness.
It is the sorrow of the dead spirit.
His soul... is inside.
Someone in the room was reciting the Great Compassion Mantra, the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and the Heart Sutra.
"...Dedicate this to...the male Bodhisattva..."
Su Liu and Boss Lou walked in, bowed to the family, and then put their hands together and bowed devoutly in the direction of the portrait.
It was an ordinary-looking Beta, somewhat similar to the boy in Lu Qi's memory, but a little older. However, it was not difficult to see that this shop owner, who was almost fifty years old, was the boy in his previous life.
Su Liu was very curious about what the young man was thinking before he died, which is why he did not become an Alpha in this life but became a Beta instead. From that memory fragment, it was not difficult to see that the young man clearly wanted to get married.
Could it be that he thinks that being born as an Alpha means he has to stand up and become a rebel?
so……
After much deliberation, he chose a more ordinary path?
After Su Liu finished paying homage, the atmosphere in the field quickly changed.
This time, the emotion is relief and forgiveness.
What a kind soul.
Even though I was so sad, I still chose to forgive.
What a pure comradeship.
But they can't go back.
What a pity.
On the way back from Xiucheng.
Su Liu looked at the city below and was moved. "What if one day, you and I were both trapped in reincarnation? You didn't remember me, and I didn't recognize you. Our identities were reversed, you were the rich and powerful, and I was just a commoner. The day we met, you beat and scolded me, and looked down on me. Then I would definitely not forgive you. I can forgive others, but not you. I hold a grudge."
Mr. Lou immediately said, “I definitely won’t.”
Su Liu then intensified his intensity, "If you were arrogant and extravagant when you were a powerful noble, and lost your virginity at a young age, then you can forget about becoming my husband. There will be no place for you by my side. If you make a mistake once, you will never be used again."
The boss repeatedly assured him, "I will definitely recognize you. No matter who you are or what you look like, I can find you."
"Think about it carefully. These are my requirements of you. If you can't do it, get out of here. It's better not to come to see me for the rest of your life. Just treat me as if I'm dead. Otherwise, I'll feel sick and I won't forgive you. I don't want to hear about things like you had no choice, you were seduced, you were confused for a moment... and some messy wife-chasing crematorium. I'm too lazy to play along with you. I hate this kind of drama the most." Su Liu hugged Boss Lou, who had transformed into his original form, tightly, but kept on pestering him with words that provoked him.
Of course, Boss Lou couldn't do that. He let go of Su Liu's hand and threw her down without saying a word. He said "hmm" seriously and said, "I have thought of the script. Don't worry, I will never cross your bottom line."
"You don't want to be reborn as an ugly monster, do you? No, I won't like you if you are not good-looking," Su Liu said smoothly.
Boss Lou was both angry and amused. "You really are...hypocritical. You ask so much of me, but you are like this..."
"How can they be the same? I made this judgment based on our personalities. I'm a busybody and hard to pursue, and I have very high standards for my partner's appearance, which indirectly leads to me not being able to fall in love easily. What about you? You're so flirty and look very casual. What's more, you're not picky. I put on such ugly makeup, but you can still kiss me without changing your expression. I really admire you." Su Liu said as she punched Boss Lou.
"......" Boss Lou was obviously very pleased, "That's right. I'm a slut. You should have higher expectations of me."
"Then let's make it this way. You should know the kind of face I like. It should look like this. Otherwise, I won't feel moved and the experience will be too bad," Su Liu said confidently.
Hearing Su Liu say this, Boss Lou immediately thought of how Pei Yunxiu, with his beautiful face like a cedar, had trouble even holding Su Liu's hand when he was in someone else's body. He knew that Su Liu really liked Qi Fengling's face the most. "But can a powerful person with such a face really keep himself clean?"
"You are already powerful and noble, is it difficult to refuse others? Are you kidding me? Or have you never been powerful and noble and don't know what power and nobility are?" Su Liu laughed angrily.
“…You said before that you couldn’t resist temptation either,” Boss Lou said aggrievedly.
"Are you bringing up the past again?" Su Liu pursed her lips. "What I meant was that I did think he was a bit attractive at the time, so I let him get in my car and drive for me. But that's all. If he dares to turn the tables and try to do something to me, you'll see how I deal with him."
Su Liu rarely gives others the opportunity to get close to him.
That time, when she saw the man's profile from a certain angle, he looked a bit like Qi Fengling. At that time, Su Liu didn't want to admit that she liked Qi Fengling, but she did want to meet him, so...
"In short, I'm not that kind of person who acts casually. It's too cheap," Su Liu said angrily and punched Boss Lou hard.
This punch was just a tickle to the vampire. Boss Lou smiled and said, "Su Liu, you are so cute."
"Don't talk nonsense to me, I'm serious," Su Liu quickly regained her composure after beating her husband.
"Su Liu, you are special. You have a complex and mysterious soul. You are worldly-wise yet unsophisticated. You are different from others. If I meet you, I will definitely recognize you," Boss Lou replied seriously.
"Did you come up with a script, pretending to be a virgin and dating me, then immediately play the victim after you get her, saying you were naive and had a few relationships before, and your body is not pure anymore, and you're afraid I'll despise you, so you'll mentally control me?" Su Liu said disdainfully, "You're so despicable! How can you be so quick to take off someone's clothes?"
"I remember that you powerful people all do background checks. You won't talk about anything without investigating. Are you someone who can be deceived so easily? If you take me to the hospital to draw blood and examine me on the spot, wouldn't it be clear whether I am a human or a ghost? Add to that credit reports, hotel consumption, criminal records, and whether there is bigamy, these are all things that are easy to check." Boss Lou said clearly.
"..." In the previous world, after Su Liu and Qi Fengling finished their meal, he had indeed asked someone to investigate Qi Fengling, but being exposed so bluntly seemed to make him feel awkward. Furthermore, aside from liking Qi Fengling's face, he didn't really know her very well at the time. So, if Qi Fengling hadn't forcefully kissed him, he would have probably waited another year, until they had a deeper understanding of each other, before deciding whether to proceed.
"You are really outrageous. If you had a different face, I would beat you so hard that your mother wouldn't recognize you. Do you believe it?" Su Liu got angry when talking about that incident. If Qi Fengling had used violence against him, he would have broken up with him immediately and called the police. He would also make a video of this incident and give speeches everywhere to publicize the ugly face of this scumbag.
If there is someone who doesn't mind this kind of person and goes ahead with marrying him, then Su Liu can only say: I wish you a happy marriage!
"...He was the one who kissed you. How could I have ever kissed you?" Boss Lou refused to admit it.
"Didn't you kiss him? On the day you locked him up, early in the morning... you still pretended to be him, and you... you forgot?" Su Liu gritted her teeth.
If he was suspected of seducing Qi Fengling when he kissed him, then the incident with Boss Lou was definitely entirely his fault.
"......" Boss Lou folded his wings and transformed into a human form, picked up Su Liu and walked towards the Duke's Mansion.
We have arrived at Nancheng.
"Speak? Are you suddenly mute?" Su Liu grabbed Boss Lou's collar and shook him.
"...Why are you so hard to pursue? If I don't kiss you, will I have to wait fifty years before I can even touch your hand in this life?" Boss Lou said with a blushing face.
"You are the villain who complains first? Are you trying to play the 'broken window effect' on me?" Su Liu smiled.
Boss Lou simply couldn't do anything about Su Liu. This was probably the only stain he had ever done in his life, and this was enough for Su Liu to control him for the rest of his life.
"...I agree that you can keep a gigolo," Boss Lou said dejectedly.
Su Liu smiled faintly: "Don't talk about such impossible things. I don't like to serve others. You are enough to make me tired of you. I am so annoyed. Why would I bother myself with the trouble and spend money to support another one? Am I sick?"
"You really don't like serving others, and you don't like doing physical work. Su Liu, what would you do if you were a commoner?" Boss Lou had obviously racked his brains to make Su Liu happy.
"I'll trick your resources into my own use, and then kick you out." Su Liu glanced at Boss Lou.
"Then I must have done something to make you unhappy. How come you, who never plays with feelings, don't cheat others of their money and sex, but cheat me of my money and sex? I must be wrong." This time, Boss Lou was very sensible.
"If your parents knew what you said, they would probably beat me to death," Su Liu finally smiled sincerely.
Afterwards, the two vampires started talking about other things.
"I heard from Lin Su before that Lin Da was married and was divorced by her husband's family. But when I checked later, I didn't find out anything like this. Then I asked Lin Miao, and Lin Miao said that Lin Da's marriage was one in which the father died and the daughter stayed?" Su Liu suddenly remembered this logical loophole.
"This just proves that Lin Su is an 'unreliable narrator'," Boss Lou pointed out the key point.
"That's right." Su Liu smiled.
This is also the reason why he assigned Nancheng, which seemed to be the richest but was actually the most difficult to manage, to Lin Su.
At this time, Ji He's soft voice came from not far away.
"I'll help you fish it out, just sit there and don't move," followed by Lu Liang's voice.
Su Liu used her dynamic vision to see that the handkerchief that Ji He picked up from the Baron's manor accidentally fell out of his pocket and was blown by the wind into the artificial lake on both sides of the plank road.
After all, Lu Liang was an Alpha and had practiced martial arts, so she quickly picked up the handkerchief.
When she was about to return it to Ji He, she was stunned.
"...Is this handkerchief yours?" Lu Liang hesitated.
"No, it belonged to one of my companions. That day..." Ji He talked about what happened at the "Taoyao Date" banquet half a year ago.
After hearing this, Lu Liang blinked and a tear as big as a bean suddenly rolled down his eye socket.
Because she knew that it was her sister's handkerchief.
Her sister had always been ambitious and brave enough to face injustice. Unexpectedly, she was brave enough to join the resistance... and even sacrificed herself...
So young...
