Second time?
When Yu Chuxi heard the low laugh in his ear, he felt his ears burning slightly. He then recalled that he had met Xie Shu once before.
That day, when he was arranging all the personnel after Yu Wanchun left Jinling, he heard that Xie Shu was dying.
Yu Chuxi and Xie Shu had not seen each other for some time and did not know how he had been doing recently, so they were inevitably surprised to hear the news.
Plus, that day was exactly the three-year divorce date they had agreed on. Yu Chuxi couldn't help but wonder, why did he fall ill at that time?
However, human life was at stake, so Yu Chuxi still went there and asked someone to invite the best doctor in the city.
Thinking about it now, Yu Chuxi suddenly felt fortunate that he did not ignore it, otherwise how could he have gotten such a good person like Xie Shu.
Yu Chuxi remembered that when he came to Xie Shu's ward, the seriously ill man had a pale face and frail body. He certainly did not look good, but when he opened his eyes from his coma, his blue eyes looked at him, and Yu Chuxi felt that he looked a bit pitiful.
So, at that time, “he” came?
Thinking of this, Yu Chuxi couldn't help but look at him again.
At this time, Xie Shu saw Yu Chuxi recalling that day, and he also answered Langjun's question: "That day, when I opened my eyes for the first time, the person I saw was Langjun, but I didn't see Langjun's appearance clearly. I only remember that there was a teardrop mole under the corner of Langjun's eye, which was unforgettable."
Teardrop mole?
Yu Chuxi subconsciously touched the red mole at the corner of his eye. Is this the tear mole he was talking about?
But Yu Chuxi had never heard of such a strange name. This mole was the symbol of Shuang'er. Most people either called it a red mole or... a "pregnancy mole". But Yu Chuxi didn't like these two names. He usually hated others mentioning it, and even hated others looking at his red mole.
However, Xie Shu's tone was not as frivolous as those people usually were when talking about Shuang'er's red mole; it was extremely calm.
Therefore, the rejection in Yu Chuxi's heart faded a lot, and he just looked at him inexplicably. What does "tear mole" mean?
Looking at Yu Chuxi's confused eyes, Xie Shu also understood that people of this era did not have so many opinions on "moles". Perhaps this "mole" was special to Shuang'er.
Xie Shu was about to explain to him, but he recalled a statement he had seen by chance in the real world, which said that people with tear moles are destined to suffer from love, be trapped by emotions, and be prone to tears. However, Xie Shu did not want to say such words.
My husband should live a peaceful and happy life, not... like this.
Xie Shu smiled softly and said, "I've heard that the mole under the corner of the eye looks like condensed tears. Maybe someone shed tears for you in your previous life and prayed for you to be happy. Therefore, you will be very happy in this life and will never shed tears again."
Yu Chuxi listened to these words in a daze. He never knew there was such a saying. The red mole at the corner of his eye could be called a tear mole.
But his tone was so moving when he spoke it that Yu Chuxi wanted to believe it even if it was made up on the spur of the moment.
When Xie Shu said "someone shed tears for him", Yu Chuxi's heart moved slightly. In addition to making himself happy, did he have other intentions in saying this...
Yu Chuxi had heard from the maids around her before that those men outside were very good at coaxing people with one thing in mind, and they would say nice words one by one without asking for money. Many girls from good families and Shuang'er didn't know this, and were deceived because of this.
But when Yu Chuxi looked into Xie Shu's eyes, they were still so clear and gentle, without anything that could be called "ambiguous".
It's exactly the same as before.
For a moment, Yu Chuxi didn't know what to feel. It turned out that this person had been like this from the beginning to the end...
Yu Chuxi suddenly looked directly into Xie Shu's eyes and asked, "Then who is that person in your previous life that you are talking about?"
Xie Shu couldn't help but pause, not knowing how to answer. Her husband's eyes were so clear, as if he was really expecting an answer.
At this time, Xie Shu could actually use the most vulgar excuse to explain, such as his lover in his previous life.
But when Xie Shu thought of this, he frowned imperceptibly.
At this time, Yu Chuxi glanced at him, curled his lips and said: "So you are lying to me?"
Xie Shu smiled helplessly, and then answered evasively: "How would I know about the person in your previous life? But don't worry, I heard that this teardrop mole is the sign of your recognition, so you will find it."
Hearing this, the faint smile on Yu Chuxi's lips did not disappear, but deepened. He silently stared at the man in front of him, thinking to himself: I found it a long time ago.
Seeing that her husband was finally cheerful, Xie Shu breathed a sigh of relief. It was difficult for her to make sense of the nonsense she had made up.
Next, the two continued walking along the river. Xie Shu casually picked up a willow branch to clear the way for her lover, so that the surrounding grass and trees would not scratch her lover's spring clothes.
It was almost noon, the sunshine was warm but not scorching, a gentle spring breeze blew towards us, stirring up ripples on the river surface like golden fragments, and the surrounding area was full of flowers and lush spring grass.
This scenery is even more beautiful than the deliberate carving of the West Garden that day.
Xie Shu suddenly remembered something. He casually scratched the soft mud by the river with a willow branch and said, "My dear, I have something else to tell you."
Yu Chuxi turned around and looked at him, listening quietly.
Xie Shu couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "My dear, I have been thinking about my future plans during this period."
Xie Shu pondered and said, "I don't know the affairs of the world now, nor do I understand the customs of the world. I am useless. I hope you will forgive me. In addition, I see that the world now uses the imperial examination as a way to recruit talents, regardless of family background, to limit the competition between the rich and the poor. I can try this. In the next two years, I will concentrate on the imperial examination, but in this way, I can't share the worries for you, I am afraid you will have to bear more."
When Xie Shu said this, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.
Before this, Xie Shu had never thought that as a man he would need to be supported by someone else... and this person happened to be his husband.
But it was also because of him that Xie Shu could say these words.
The young man was as handsome as the moon and as flawless as a jade. He told the young man his plans, and the young man would respond to him frankly about what he thought. This way, there was no need to guess at each other's opinions. This was the way Xie Shu liked to get along with others.
At this moment, a strange light flashed in Yu Chuxi's eyes. He had never thought that he would hear such words.
Xie Shu was not only discussing future plans with him, but also thanking him for his understanding. There were not many men in this world who could do this, especially in terms of gratitude.
Yu Chuxi actually didn't think that he was of much help to Xie Shu. He was his son-in-law, so what if he ate and used some of his food? Even if he stayed here for the rest of his life, so what?
But now, Yu Chuxi wants to be nice to him even more.
Yu Chuxi whispered, "Don't worry, I understand. Just focus on your own things and don't worry about me. There's nothing for me to worry about."
Now most of the Yu family's assets are in his hands, and his father is gradually accepting his approval. Only his second uncle Yu Wanchun is still watching him covetously.
However, Yu Chuxi was not afraid. If his second uncle had other ideas, don't blame him for disregarding the relationship between uncle and nephew in the future.
On the other side, the maids saw that their masters were not coming, so they couldn't help but stand up and look. Only then did they see the two people talking by the river.
The young man was dressed in white and Xie was dressed in green. They looked very harmonious. They were writing and drawing on the sand. They seemed no different from those young couples.
The maids couldn't help but laugh:
"Now Mr. Xie and Mr. Lang are getting along better and better."
"Yes, my dear is handsome, but Mr. Xie is not bad either. They look like a perfect match."
"Tell me, when will Lang Jun and Mr. Xie really be together?"
Speaking of this topic, several maids blushed. They had also heard from others that couples should sleep together, but now Mr. Xie and his lover don't live in the same room, so they can't be considered a real couple.
Hearing this, Feng He gently scolded: "Don't discuss your husband's affairs."
Seeing that Feng He's tone was fierce but her face did not look angry, several maids stuck out their tongues and hurriedly ran away.
Xi Mo on the side also thought secretly: Master, you must do your best!
The afternoon sunlight gradually became warmer. Although there was shade from the trees, the two of them felt a little tired after walking for a long time.
Xie Shu and Yu Chuxi ate some food, then lay on the mat and took a short nap before deciding to return.
The horses' hooves churned leisurely on the road, the spring breeze was pleasant, and the two of them didn't say much, just quietly enjoying this rare happy time.
At this time, after the carriage entered the city gate of Jinling, a man dressed as a steward looked around anxiously, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw the Yu family's carriage, his eyes lit up and he quickly went to meet them.
The guard recognized him as a member of the trading company and only let him onto the carriage after obtaining Yu Chuxi's consent.
The man came up and took a look at Xie Shu, then bowed his head and reported: "Young Master, something happened at the Mingchuan Shipping Company. They said there was a problem with a batch of goods shipped by our company. The shopkeeper is already handling it, but I'm afraid you will have to come in person."
Yu Chuxi frowned slightly when he heard this. Mingchuan Shipping Company is the largest shipping company in the local area, but it has always been on good terms with the Yu family. If there is nothing urgent, it would not have done this.
Forget it, it’s more important to go first and ask for details on the way.
However, because Mingchuan Trading Company is located in Jiangkou, which is in the opposite direction of the Yu family, Yu Chuxi cannot take Xie Shu with him. After all, no one knows how long it will take to complete this matter.
Yu Chuxi was about to talk to Xie Shu, but Xie Shu also suggested that he and Ximo get off the car first. The look the steward gave him just now probably meant that there was something he needed to avoid saying in front of him. However, he didn't understand business matters, so why bother delaying his husband's important business.
It just so happened that Xie Shu also wanted to go for a walk with Xi Mo and buy some books.
Seeing Xie Shu say this, Yu Chuxi, who had originally planned to send Xie Shu back in another carriage, had no choice but to stop mentioning it.
When Xie Shu got off the car, she turned around and nodded slightly to her lover.
It was not too late now, and there were still many people entering and leaving the city gate. The crowd was crowded, and there were carriages and horses like dragons. The shouts and hawking sounds were endless. Xie Shu took Xi Mo and walked towards the street next to him.
At this moment, a man in inconspicuous clothes passed by him and stuffed a ball of paper into his hand.
The author has something to say:
In ancient times, pitiful means to be lovable.
