Chapter 716 The past is like rain
In a flash, five years later.
The innocent little girl back then has grown into a beautiful girl who is young but can be seen as a beautiful girl and will surely be beautiful in the future.
That day, she went to a bookstore alone to buy some rice paper.
This bookstore is very old and has a history of hundreds of years. The rice paper produced is unique to the imperial capital. Therefore, although it is located in a remote and slum area of the imperial capital, its business is excellent.
But coincidentally, it was raining heavily that day, and the streets were almost empty, so the girl had to walk in the heavy rain with an umbrella and a thick dozen rice paper on her back.
Several gangsters in the city saw her walking alone in the rain, and they started teasing and whistling and became colorful.
The girl is not an ordinary person. After that incident five years ago, she began to practice martial arts and learned to swim.
Seeing someone teasing, the girl's reaction was not as enduring as that of ordinary people, but chose to scold her.
As a result... all the gangsters surrounded them.
They are not ordinary people either!
They were all thugs from underground forces in the imperial capital. Because of a severe rain, they hid under the eaves on both sides of the street to shelter from the rain.
Originally, under the cover of the umbrella, they did not see clearly the person inside, but only knew that they were a girl. When the girl was talking, they were surprised to find that she was such a beautiful little beauty, and immediately became concerned.
Seeing that there was no one on the street again, several gangsters immediately surrounded her and tried to take her away, and took her to the place where she was defiled.
She took advantage of the fact that one of the gangsters was not paying attention and slapped the other person in the face, and then used the umbrella in her hand to directly blind the other gangster's eyes.
Now that he stabbed the hornet's nest, several gangsters went crazy on the spot and attacked her directly.
At that time, she was still very weak in strength. She had no problem dealing with a gangster, but she was no match for a few gangsters.
Seeing that her innocence was lost, it was the one who saved her back then who fell from the sky, and he punched the gangsters with three punches and two kicks, knocking them out of thin air and dying.
She recognized this person at a glance. This person was the eldest brother who saved her back then, but the other party...he didn't remember her growing up from a young girl five years later.
Therefore, after confirming that these gangsters had no ability to resist, they said to her: "This is not safe. Why are you a girl's house walking alone? You have to pay attention next time!"
After saying that, the man turned around and was about to leave.
Now, the girl who escaped from death finally abandoned her reserve and couldn't help but call him with a blushing face and asked him for his name, but the other party just waved his hand and said, "It just happened to meet, there is no need to leave his name."
At the age of twelve, a girl who already knows a little about the relationship between men and women looked at each other's back with dizziness on her cheeks and could only watch her go further and further away.
It was still the gangsters who were almost beaten to death who revealed his identity.
"What a fucking bad luck, why did you meet him?"
"Oh, it's good to not die. Damn it. If it were someone else, I would definitely take revenge on him. It's just that this bastard is the son of his fucking general!"
"He is a tiger general. He is so tired of being provoked by him. Forget it, today I'm saving my life... It's already good!"
"This damn bastard, if you don't be his general and your son, you have to make a fool of yourself in the slums..."
The girl's heart was pounding, and she felt that she could find out the other person's identity!
Ignoring the dying gangsters, she quickly left there.
Later, she found out that person's identity and knew that he was General Xu Zhongtian's only son, named Xu Jie, who liked to make irons and lived in slums. He had a jealous personality of hatred of evil. All the underground forces in the imperial capital were afraid of him.
I also learned that he had several brothers, one of whom was not liked by his family, and the children of aristocratic families who could not practice, a fat man who liked to tease girls but was sensible, and the one who was serious and liked to study mechanisms.
Since then, the girl has been paying attention to his news. Whenever she hears him doing something heroic, the girl will always lock herself in the room and blush with her face to fantasize that one day she will meet him again.
After a few more years, the girl not only did not forget this person, but was more impressed. In several aristocratic activities that she originally did not want to participate, she met him again, who was also unwilling to participate...
However, the guy with thick lines forgot her again.
The girl also tried to contact him, but he had been with his brothers and didn't even look at her.
The girl was a little sad and a little lost, but she still kept him in her heart.
Until one day, the girl's family began to arrange a marriage for her. The girl was panicked and wanted to say that there was already someone in her heart, but how could she say that kind of thing... a daughter's family?
I can only refuse...and refuse again!
Constant rejection!
So much so that the imperial capital has heard of her reputation for being cold and arrogant, but she doesn't care!
She believed that one day, she would be able to impress him!
And at this moment, she had grown into a beautiful woman.
Marriage fell from heaven, and the other party's mother came to her and asked her to be her daughter-in-law.
At that moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world!
When my mother asked her about her opinion on routine, thinking she would definitely refuse as usual...
She nodded in agreement!
Until now, she still remembers the difference in her mother's face.
I can't believe that she, who is not interested in all the young handsome men in the imperial capital, would actually agree to marry a vulgar man who only knows how to make irons...
But the other party’s family background is indeed very good, and although Xu Jie is vulgar, he has a good reputation.
Unlike the aristocratic playboys, they only know how to ruin my reputation. So her mother nodded and agreed to the marriage.
However, the impermanence of life is full of drama...
He returned from the front line, and he was surrounded by...a woman.
That woman was a general in the enemy country, but he liked her, loved her, and wanted to marry her!
The girl's world collapsed directly. On the day she learned the news, she locked herself in the room and cried all day!
She was extremely sad and didn't know what she should do. It was not until this time that she regretted it. Why didn't she tell her family earlier? Why didn't she tell her earlier?
If she could tell her to her family earlier, how could he bring back another woman?
The result of being reserved is to watch the person you like marry another woman.
Her mother comforted her and said, "Forget it, I don't want my baby daughter to marry such a rough man!"
She just cried silently, speechless.
She was still paying attention to the person's news, and whenever his news came, she would always become extremely silent.
Later, the female general of the enemy country fled her marriage, and she suddenly felt that her world suddenly became bright.
Even at this time, she had quietly cultivated her own strength to an extremely high level, but she still thought: As long as he is willing to marry, even if he is ridiculed by the world, she will marry him!
"You don't like him, I like him!"
Later, his father and mother came to the door with a shameless face and wanted to regain the marriage. Her father was furious and wanted to drive the other party out.
At this time, she finally let go of all her reserve and pride, stood up and said loudly the words buried in her heart for more than ten years.
"I want to marry!"
On the day of the wedding, he left, but she did not regret it, because at this time she was no longer the innocent little girl back then.
She knew him well and had guessed that he would escape in ten days.
She only thought about her wish back then. Although she still liked him, she no longer forced herself to stay by his side.
She is Liu Ruyu, the proud Liu Ruyu! The one who enters the Tao with books... Liu Ruyu!
The scenes of that year were like a scroll, unfolding in front of her eyes.
After many years, when I saw him again on this strange land, Liu Ruyu found that she could face him calmly.
Although deep down in her heart, there will still be a ripple inadvertently...
But really... nothing is gone.
"Just treat him as an old friend!"
"My life-savior!"
"I owe him... I will never pay it back in my life."
Liu Ruyu looked at the man who closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. A trace of heartache flashed deep in her eyes, and she was already extremely hated for the Xuancheng Jin family.
After a long time, Xu Jie slowly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Ruyu, who was still standing opposite him, like a fairy walking out of the painting, with a wry smile on his face: "Thank you, I'm sorry."
Liu Ruyu stared at Xu Jie and said, "Thank you for accepting it, I'm sorry."
"At the time..." Xu Jie felt a little bitter in his mouth, and he wanted to say something.
"Don't mention the incident back then. I am the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, but I am not your wife." When he said this, Liu Ruyu's calm mood still felt a little turbulent, and she felt a little sad.
"I...I don't know those..." Xu Jie was so naughty. This iron man was not very good at speaking, and now he doesn't know much about it.
"All it's over, let it go." Liu Ruyu pretended to be relaxed and looked at Xu Jie and said, "Are you okay?"
"I... is fine." Xu Jie sighed and said, "The Divine Realm is not as good as I thought. If I could choose, I would rather not ascend to the sky."
"No matter where you are, as long as there are people, these things will happen, which is inevitable." Liu Ruyu looked at Xu Jie and said Youyou: "I don't want to see an old friend with a depressed will. There is a news that you will probably be very happy after hearing it."
"Oh? What news?" Xu Jie looked at Liu Ruyu.
"I have news about Xu Luo." Liu Ruyu said lightly.
"What?" Xu Jieteng stood up, walked forward for two steps, and felt something was wrong again. He looked embarrassed and rubbed his hands, and laughed: "Sorry... I'm a little excited."
Liu Ruyu looked at Xu Jie quietly: "I didn't see you so happy when I saw me..."
"I'm not...I'm...I don't know how to face you." Xu Jie gritted his teeth and finally said this.
