Yesterday, Xia Mingming sent someone to deliver a letter to the Forgotten Airport. The next afternoon, Yu Shu went to wait for her as promised. Xia Mingming was very punctual. As soon as the sun set, she showed up. Yu Shu asked the shopkeeper in the front building, Old Lin, to keep an eye out for Xia Mingming. When Xia Mingming appeared, he immediately led her to the back building to meet her.
"Knock knock." Lin Fu knocked on the door on the second floor. "Miss, Miss Xia is here."
Xia Mingming stood outside the door, visibly excited. Her watery eyes stared at the door, waiting to see Yu Shu.
"Let her in, the door isn't closed." Yu Shu was sitting in the living room with her legs crossed, drinking fruit tea. She could see the figure on the screen and had just responded when a yellow figure squeezed into the room. They looked at each other and realized that they had reunited. Yu Shu was still fine, but Xia Mingming could not help but pout. He looked like he was about to cry and felt wronged.
Yu Shu was the most annoying person who made people cry. She frowned when she saw this scene. She didn't open her mouth to greet him, nor did it sound like she hadn't seen him for a long time. Instead, she sounded a little impatient, "Why are you still in the capital? Didn't you say that you wanted to go back to the south and find a remote mountain or forest to seek immortality?"
What Yu Shu mentioned was a secret of Xia Jiang's family. It had been passed down by Xia Mingming himself. As of now, it was a somewhat old matter.
Speaking of which, the Xia Jiang family was the leader of the southern school of Yi, but they didn't have many children. In recent years, there were signs of a lack of talent in the school of Yi, so the older generation came up with a "rotten idea" to send the girls of the family to the mountains to seek the Dao. This was akin to sacrificing the children to lure the wolf.
As the Xia Jiang family's Fifth Miss, Xia Mingming was originally the Xia Jiang family's candidate for this generation to seek the Dao. However, Xia Mingming heard the news in advance and was unwilling to accept the fate of the rest of her life, so she ran away from home. She wanted to participate in the triennial Da yan examination in the capital to escape. Who would have thought that she would suffer along the way? She became acquainted with Yu Shu and the others, forming a friendship through trials and tribulations.
However, Xia Mingming dreamt that her fourth sister was murdered. After she contacted someone to warn them, the one who should die still died. The young lady of Xia Jiang's family was murdered in Taishi Library. This case caused a sensation in Anling City for a while. When Xia Jiang's family received the news, someone in charge quickly came to the capital, so Xia Mingming was naturally arrested.
After that, Yu Shu went to look for Xia Mingming, but Xia Mingming's father seemed to be quite wary of her. Yu Shu stopped her from seeing him. After not seeing him for a few times, Yu Shu also calmed down. Originally, she thought that the two of them would never see each other again. Who knew that they would meet again on the opening day of the Wang Ji Building half a month ago. What made Yu Shu feel even more uncomfortable was that at that time, Xia Mingming and Ji Xingxuan, that girl, looked like two sisters.
If she didn't know that Xia Mingming didn't know about her grudge with the Ji family, it was understandable that she would be won over by Ji Xingxuan, who was good at money and power. Just based on this point, Yu Shu would definitely not pay any attention to this former "friend" in trouble, no matter what Xia Mingming was secretly planning. She didn't want to make friends with an ungrateful wolf.
"Ashu, I'm sorry for making you worry about me these days." Xia Mingming walked in front of Yu Shu with red eyes. Her two white and tender little hands were placed in front of her, not knowing where to put them. She was like a child who had made a mistake. She couldn't be blamed for this. From a moral point of view, she was indeed the one who had let Yu Shu down.
Speaking of how Yu Shu treated Xia Mingming, there was nothing to say. They met by chance. She saved her life in the past and took care of her later. Coupled with their friendship, perhaps in Xia Mingming's eyes, except for her father, there was no one else in the world. Yu Shu was the one who was closest to her.
"What did I worry about? Don't flatter yourself!" Yu Shu pursed her lips. She didn't want to admit that at the beginning, she was indeed worried about Xia Mingming's situation. But after she used the Time of Calamity to divine for him and knew that he was safe, she gradually put him at the back of her mind.
Xia Mingming didn't mind Yu Shu's cold words. It was probably because she had written some things about herself in the letters she had sent to Yu Shu. It wasn't hard for her to speak now, but she was careful. Looking at Yu Shu's expression, she said, "Ashu, it's right for you to be angry at me. You treated me so well, but I left that day and didn't even send you a message. I've heard that you came looking for me, but you were chased away by my father. Don't, don't blame my father. That's just his temper. He always thinks that others covet the benefits of our Xia Jiang family. I've told him many times that you're not that kind of person, but he doesn't listen. "
As she mentioned it, Yu Shu remembered that day when Qiu Biao and Bi Qing bumped into her in the capital and wanted to kill her. She went to the Xia Jiang family for help, but was rejected by the Xia Jiang family. She couldn't help but snort and say in a bad mood, "You're wrong. I'm that kind of person. The few hundred taels of silver that your father asked someone to give me as a reward is still in my cabinet. Since I've accepted the gift, we're even."
Seeing her cold attitude, Xia Mingming was scared. She really wanted to break up with her. Her tears fell again. She was usually eloquent, but at this moment, she could only choke with tears. "Don't, don't be angry with me, Ashu. Sob, sob sob …"
Seeing that she was crying so sadly, Yu Shu knew that she had scared her enough. She wasn't angry, but mainly to test how many old feelings Xia Mingming still had in her heart. If there were less, then she could save the rest of her words. After all, she wasn't someone who had nothing better to do. Why should she bother with a person who wasn't worth it? She could just say a few perfunctory words and send him away.
Yu Shu's face softened. She sighed pretentiously. She stretched out her arm to hold Xia Mingming's cold little hand and pulled her to sit beside her. She casually grabbed the handkerchief on the table and wiped her face with it.
Xia Mingming didn't realize that she was almost treated as a passerby by by Yu Shu. Seeing that Yu Shu's attitude had improved, she was stunned for a moment and then cried even harder. It seemed that she wanted to vent all the worries and fears of these days. She held Yu Shu's hand that was wiping her tears and cried loudly on her shoulder.
Hearing this devilish voice piercing her ears, Yu Shu had to exert a great deal of effort to restrain herself from turning hostile again. She raised her hand and then lowered it again, gently patting Xiang Shaolong's back. Hitting someone with a stick and then giving them a carrot was her usual trick of coaxing people. It was effortless.
"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Alright, you brought people to my restaurant to make trouble, and you don't allow me to lose my temper? You're a big girl, yet your snot and tears are everywhere. Don't be ashamed. Don't cry, or your eyes will be swollen. If your father sees it when you go home, he will be suspicious. Did you sneak out today? En? "
Xia Mingming raised her tear-stained pear blossom head from her shoulder. It wasn't as embarrassing as Yu Shu said. Instead, she was beautiful. She nodded and sniffled, "En, last time I made trouble in the restaurant, my father punished me to not go out. Ashu, you, you really don't blame me?"
