Life is a play
Ayin's small villa is located in a remote area, but its geographical location is pretty good.
There is a snack street right outside the door, and the neighbors are all honest people. Lin Zhen must have put in a lot of effort.
Luyao took Ayin and Lin Zhen to see the store, while Sutao stayed at home to look after the house.
It was also the first time that the nanny was separated from Lin Zhen. She sat on a small stool and made tea with some restraint, and from time to time she gave an awkward smile in the direction of Su Liu.
In contrast to her reservedness, the old maid was more relaxed. Perhaps Ayin and she did not emphasize the master-servant status too much. At this moment, she sat near the door with her two thick arms bare and her legs crossed, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan and eating melon seeds.
To her, it's just a job.
The best state for the common people should be like this: everyone does his or her job without talking about hierarchy.
If we don't talk nonsense, we will feel less oppressed.
After looking around, Su Liu found that the Lin family was most fond of power exploitation, while the Gu family was most in favor of discipline and education.
The marriage between the two families exacerbated Lin Zhen's tragedy.
Someone came and knocked on the door.
Gu Liu came over with Lu Liang.
After the old woman let the two in, Lu Liang immediately came up to Su Liu and said flatteringly, "City Lord, that time doesn't count. Let's make another bet."
"...So this shameless guy who chased me from Xiucheng is trying to cheat me?" Su Liu pointed at Lu Liang and teased him with Qi Fengling and Su Tao.
Lu Liang glanced at Su Tao who had a smile on her face and gritted her teeth secretly, probably saying how could he laugh at her, so she pushed Gu Liu with her elbow.
Gu Liu, who had been thinking about something with his head down, finally came back to his senses and subconsciously tried to smooth things over, "Lord City Lord, my father and brother sincerely invite you to come into the mansion for a chat."
After discussing for so long, we finally came up with something?
Su Liu complained in his heart.
Lu Liang, who was standing by, had a relatively simple mind. Seeing Gu Liu say this, she flattered him and said, "Sir, I'd also like to invite you to my home. My father asked me about you a few days ago."
"Your Lu family is in the royal city, right? It's very far from here," Su Liu declined.
"There will be a polo match in the royal city next month. How could you people in the city not come? A few years ago, they even won a few death row prisoners from the king's dungeon..." Lu Liang suddenly fell silent, as if he had quickly exposed Su Liu's identity as the "leader of the resistance", which was like plucking hair from a lion's head.
"My identity is not a secret. His Majesty the King knows it too. What's the big deal? Are you afraid that I will kill you to silence you? This is too mean and boring," Su Liu admitted frankly.
"...Your Majesty also knows this," Lu Liang and Gu Liu looked at each other, their eyes filled with the embarrassment of "the emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is."
"Yes, he likes me," Su Liu said shocking words again.
"Ah?" Lu Liang and Gu Liu looked at Qi Fengling at the same time.
Qi Fengling didn't say anything, but his fists hardened. It was obvious that the king had improper thoughts about his wife, and he was also aware of it.
"Well, His Majesty said that if I can solve his harem problem, he would be willing to abdicate to me." Su Liu's words were very artistically processed.
"...How can there be so many Vampire Omegas? Where can he find them? Your Majesty might as well just tell him that he wants to marry you," Lu Liang always couldn't resist instigation, and immediately revealed the information she had coaxed from her brother.
"...Ah?" Gu Liu pretended to be hurt, and pulled Lu Liang's arm and whispered, "Aliang, we are good brothers. Why didn't you tell me such important news?"
Lu Liang slapped his mouth lightly.
The fact that Su Liu was a vampire was something she had gotten from her brother when she met him on the day of the Lin family's wedding when he came to give her gifts.
Lu Liang was usually the last one to know about such important events. It just happened that day that she cried and said that she didn't want to be a virgin. Her brother comforted her by saying that even if she was a vampire, she could still have a wife. She immediately pestered him and that's how the news reached her.
The way Lu Liang looked at Su Liu had changed from the powerful city lord to her ideal partner.
only.
The news Lu Liang got from his brother was not very friendly.
From his words, there was a hint that the king wanted Su Liu to be his common wife. It didn't seem like he liked him or was pursuing him as Su Liu said...
Lu Liang didn't dare to guess blindly.
After all, her brother didn't say it clearly. If she misunderstood, she would be the one to suffer.
Su Liu and Qi Fengling exchanged glances.
The king really made a move.
It's just that he is more despicable than Su Liu thought. He actually achieved his goal by hinting at his identity in private. I believe that even if something really happened, the king would have his own roundabout way of seeking Qi Fengling's forgiveness.
No wonder that at the Lin family's banquet, not only did many members of the Gu family come, but there were also a few scattered vampires who ogled him like perverts.
Among the four major families of "Lin Pei Gu Lu", three of them knew his bloodline, and it was even more impossible for the winner of the marriage: the Pei family, not to know.
If the Pei family knows, it means the person in Nancheng also knows.
"Sir, everything has been arranged," Luyao pushed the door open with Ayin's arm in hand, holding the dishes in her other hand.
Lin Zhen, who was one step behind, was holding the store deed in a trance. He even knocked on the stone bricks at the door when he entered, looking like he had not woken up yet.
Su Tao's eyes were full of admiration. He stood up with brisk steps to greet her. Anyone who was not blind could see the relationship between him and A Yin.
Gu Liu must have noticed something when he stepped through the door. Now that the evidence was irrefutable, he could no longer harbor any hope. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more ashamed he felt. Plenty of sweat blurred his vision in an instant. He stood up abruptly, said goodbye in a hurry, and ran away in a panic.
"...Gu Liu, what's wrong with you?" Lu Liang was confused, but Gu Liu's mood was obviously not right, so she had to chase him out.
"Why is Young Master Gu Liu here?" Ayin was slightly stunned, but not too curious. He quickly took the dish from Luyao's hand and took the nanny into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
"I'll come too. My cooking is delicious," Luyao rolled up her sleeves and jumped in.
Lin Zhen looked at the direction where Gu Liuyuan went, seemingly lost in thought. When he turned around and glanced at Su Tao, there was a hint of regret in his eyes.
Su Tao was already able to remember things when he was sold by Lin Zhen. I wonder what kind of torment he felt in his heart when he was serving Gu Liu.
evening.
Everyone was asleep.
Su Tao couldn't sleep, so he got up and sat in the yard looking at the moonlight.
He has a unique and mellow beauty that makes people love his calmness and hate his loneliness.
Separated by a wall.
Gu Liu paced back and forth outside the door.
The footsteps came from far away and then from near to far away. In this quiet night, all the sounds seemed to be deliberately amplified.
Su Tao opened the door and met Gu Liu who was pacing back.
Gu Liu's eyes were very complicated. He whispered uncertainly, "Little cousin?"
There was no surprise in Su Tao's eyes, only a cold look, exactly the same as the day they met again more than ten years later.
That day, the clan chose Gu Yun as a vampire, and Gu Liu was very upset. When Su Tao and Lu Yao came over, he attacked them a little harder than usual.
Gu Liu didn't dare to think too much.
He also recalled the time before Su Tao left the Gu family. At that time, he always followed Su Tao and made childish but sincere promises to her.
"Little cousin, you are so kind to me. My father punished me, but you still brought me food. I will never bully you again."
"My dear cousin, you are so pretty. This is for you. I made it myself. When I grow up, you can trade it for something else. Anything will do."
"My dear cousin, when you grow up and get married, let me carry you to the sedan chair."
"If your husband bullies you, tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you."
Memories were like sharp swords, piercing Gu Liuwan's heart. None of the promises he had made in the past had been fulfilled. Was this retribution?
"Where is the straw rope I gave you? Why have I never seen you wear it?" Gu Liu hesitated for a moment and spoke again to break the silence.
Gu Liu always treated Su Tao in a superior manner, but at this moment, he was standing at the bottom of the stone steps while Su Tao was standing on the top.
Su Tao said, "I can't find it."
In fact, it was not that he couldn't find it. Su Tao had always kept the straw rope carefully as a thought. He was very stupid at that time and thought that Gu Liu would definitely recognize him. If there was still one person in the world who remembered him, thought about him, and treated him well, it must be Gu Liu... Until after that time, he burned it on the night he returned to the manor.
Gu Liu felt inexplicably relieved. Perhaps this bland way of distancing himself from the matter made him feel better than Su Tao accusing him.
Su Tao tilted her head and suddenly smiled, but no one knew what she was laughing at.
Gu Liu thought Su Tao had let it go, so he smiled and said, "Little cousin, if you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."
The smile on Su Tao's face froze for a few seconds before she said, "No need. I'm doing fine and I won't look for you. You should also try not to come to me again."
"...Okay," Gu Liu put away his smile and looked at Su Tao a few more times. Seeing that Su Tao's eyes were peaceful and without love or hate, he turned around and left disappointedly.
Wait for Su Tao to close the door and go back to sleep.
Su Liu half sat up from the bed.
"Gu Liu is quite confident," Su Liu commented quietly, "His guilt towards Su Tao is so superficial."
Qi Fengling didn't move, but the little yellow cat lying on his chest opened its little eyes and glanced at Su Liu, meaning that it would be terrible if Gu Liu fell asleep. After Gu San, it became the screenwriter and director again.
"Xiao Huang, your hook is a bit big," Su Liu couldn't help but kiss it.
Xiao Huang covered his face and rolled on Qi Fengling's chest. Just as he was about to play with Su Liu for a while, he suddenly closed his eyes.
At the same time.
Gu Liu fell into a deep sleep.
After Gu Liu lay down, he felt a tightness in his chest. Before he could call for help, he fell into a dream as if he had fainted.
Water, lake water, he is in the lake.
"Someone fell into the water..."
Several servants rescued him by touching and carrying him. The moment he regained his breath, he suddenly sighed: Next time I commit suicide, I don’t want to jump into the lake again. It’s so scary. They... touched him.
He is an Alpha.
More importantly, he is the son of the Gu family. Who is so bold as to...
