Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 168: Zi Du Visits, Shi Yong Confesses (4)
Lin Tao came to Ji Chonglian to report again, saying that Qin Zi had already lived in the Ji family's old house. Although many maids couldn't hold back their curiosity and wanted to see the Tanhua Lang, but under Song Mama's Severely reprimanded, and punished a few little maids who acted recklessly, this finally calmed down a bit.

After a few more days like this, Ge Er found Ji Chonglian, and saw that she was a little nervous, with her two little hands wringing non-stop in front of the hem of her clothes.

Hongying watched from the side, and couldn't help saying softly: "I haven't seen you like this on weekdays, so just talk about it if you have anything to say."

This maid Ge Er is very clever, and she often sends news to their house on weekdays. Although she is a third-class maid now, Ji Chonglian has already made up her mind to promote her to a second-class maid so that she can be reused in the future.

"Girl, can I take a step to speak?"

Ge'er bit her lip, then raised her head to look at Ji Chonglian, with a serious look in her eyes.

Ji Chonglian was stunned, and even Hongying was a little surprised. Is there anything that I can't say in front of others, and I have to avoid it?
Ji Chonglian thought about it for a while, then nodded to Hongying, "Go down and see if Biyuan is back, this girl can't be seen for a long time after she is released, so tell her that I have something to do with her, and ask her to come back with her."

"Yes, girl."

Hongying complied, and glanced at Ge'er again, before she backed away with doubts.

"Okay, let's talk."

Ji Chonglian's face is calm, she never likes to pretend to be mysterious, at this moment, it's just her and Ge'er, there's no need to beat around the bush.

"Girl, Master Biao please come to the library to meet him, he has something important to tell you."

Ge Er bit her lip, her face was already flushed, it was not good for Ji Chonglian to meet people in private like this, even though Shi Yong and her were cousins, others would inevitably make guesses when they saw it, so one less person would know about it better.

"Big cousin?"

Ji Chonglian frowned. If Shi Yong had something to do, he could send someone a message, or come to her directly, why is he still so cautious?
"Do you know what's going on?"

Ji Chonglian asked another question, but Ge Er shook her head, "Master Da Biao only said that it is an important matter, please go there."

After thinking about it, Ji Chonglian decided to go again. Shi Yong will not harm her, and he has helped her a lot over the years, both openly and secretly. She admires this big cousin very much.

Seeing that Ji Chonglian agreed, Ge'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and took advantage of Hongying and Biyuan's return, and took Ji Chonglian to the stone mansion around the path.

The door of the study building was half-closed. Before Ji Chonglian stepped in, he was already looking at the corner of his clothes swinging back and forth. When he pushed the door again, Shi Yong's figure stood in front of him.

Ge Erfu walked out of the door after being blessed, closed the door gently, and stood quietly by the side.

Ji Chonglian shook her head with a broken smile, I really don't know whose maid this Ge'er is, she seems to be more loyal to Shi Yong, it's just that this girl grew up in the Shifu, and now her family is also in the Shifu, what is more important It seems that she has already made a distinction in her heart.

It's not that Ge'er is not good, but if this girl's heart is not toward her, then she has to reconsider whether to keep Ge'er by her side.

"Big cousin, why are you looking for me urgently?"

When Ji Chonglian turned her head to look at Shi Yong, she saw an abnormal blush on his cheeks. She had doubts in her heart and couldn't help asking: "But what's wrong, do you have a fever?"

"No, no..."

As soon as Shi Yong opened his mouth, there was a burst of alcohol, and Ji Chonglian couldn't help taking a slight step back, looking at him in surprise.

Shi Yong is a very temperate person, not to mention drinking during the day, even during the holidays, this rarely happens, not to mention that he is still working under Shi Yi, even though he is his father, but the requirements are even stricter, It also cultivated Shi Yong's character of being meticulous and never daring to exceed the rules.

Ji Chonglian looked at Shi Yong quietly. It's not that this embarrassment has never happened to him, it seems that it only happens when he faces himself. After so many years, why hasn't it changed at all?

"Fifth cousin!"

Shi Yong finally plucked up the courage to look at Ji Chonglian. The 14-year-old girl Tingting Yuli has a beautiful face like a flower, and red lips like fire. Every gesture is so elegant and dignified, which makes people intoxicated. Extricate yourself.

Since which year, his eyes have been following her footsteps, gradually drifting away, and can no longer stop.

Just like the most holy snow lotus on Gongga Snow Mountain, this kind of Ji Chonglian is far beyond his imagination, even standing in front of her, he feels ashamed, how can he get his hands on her beauty?

But he still has a little hope, even if it is a one in ten thousand chance, even if he knows he will be rejected, at least let her know his feelings for her, which he has buried for so many years and buried so deeply.

Ji Chonglian pursed her lips, she seemed to have a premonition of something, but facing Shi Yong's serious expression, she no longer wanted to escape, some things should come to an end.

"Fifth cousin, I like you, from a long time ago..."

Shi Yong's voice was very soft and quiet, like a falling spring dripping into a stone's eye. Although it didn't stir up waves, it was enough to iron people's hearts. He was expressing his feelings in his own way, and maybe he didn't need a response, just He calmly spoke his long-buried heart.

At this moment, his eyes were exceptionally bright, but they were clear and refreshing, just like the blue sky, which had a kind of boundless beauty.

Ji Chonglian was silent for a moment, then she suddenly raised her lips, and said with a slight smile: "I am very touched by the love my cousin has for me, but in my heart, I will always regard you as the most respected and beloved brother!"

Memories flashed through my mind one by one like cut fragments. The first meeting with Shi Yong, the tacit understanding and joy when the two read the mansion time report together, the hesitant expression when he gave himself a birthday present, and how long will it be? The lonely and lonely back when she is not here... All kinds of things are pieced together to form a complete picture. These are the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of her childhood. Maybe Shi Yong only took up a small part, but without his existence , all of which are incomplete.

She is grateful to him, for his tolerance and love, and for his care and tenderness, but as they grow older, they will eventually have different lives, drift away and walk on different paths.

Perhaps, now is the time to say goodbye to the past.

"I knew it would end like this."

Shi Yong lowered his eyes and smiled softly, but there was no sadness in his eyes, but a slight smile on the corners of his lips. He walked slowly to the window, opened the half-covered lattice window, and the afternoon sun shone through the leaves. Sprinkled with mottled light and shadow, he opened his fingers, watching the specks of light dust jumping between his fingers, and stretched out his hand to hold it, but he couldn't grab anything.
