When Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi returned to Yuehu Villa together, it was as if the fairy tale had reached the last sentence: "From then on, the prince and princess lived a happy life." At this moment, they only needed to put a full stop, and that would be the final ending.

But life is not a fairy tale, and for Su Yuxi, the story is far from over, and her plan is only half completed.

For Cheng Xiaoyu now, his life has returned to the starting point, and he can once again appreciate the time condensed into little bits and pieces of happiness. At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu feels that happiness is a very simple thing, and it is "Qing Luo".

"Small fan blowing at the fireflies" means "a thin glass of wine is better than tea soup, and coarse clothes are better than no clothes", "a piccolo is played without a tune", or "the small building listened to the spring rain last night".

Unfortunately, it didn't rain today. Cheng Xiaoyu opened the window a little, lay on the bed, and listened quietly to the soft sound of the fountain in the yard, as if in a dream. He gathered up the quilt and fell asleep in such a lingering night.

past.

As the stars move, the moon sets and dawn begins, the night gradually disappears, and the sky becomes white.

The alarm on his cell phone rang at six-thirty on time, and Cheng Xiaoyu woke up from his deep sleep. Although he was still a little sleepy, he yawned and forced himself to get out of bed.

There was a faint sound of birds outside the window. Cheng Xiaoyu lifted the quilt and opened the curtains to drive away the silent darkness. He quickly put on a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants. He casually washed his face and brushed his teeth.

I looked at the time and saw that there were still three minutes to six forty-five.

Cheng Xiaoyu stood at the door and took a deep breath, then hurried out. The dim lights in the corridor were not extinguished yet, and the sky was still blue. Cheng Xiaoyu turned off the switch and saw Su Yuxi coming from her.

walked out of the room.

Wearing exactly the same clothes as him, a loose white T-shirt, gray sweatpants, and four white stripes on the right leg of the pants, Cheng Xiaoyu felt an inexplicable heat in his heart. He did not dare to look directly at Su Yuxi, looked at the stairs and said, "Good morning!"

Su Yuxi said: "Why did you get up so early? Are you really planning to send Zhiyan to school?"

Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated and shook his head: "Didn't you allow me to go yesterday? I just got up for a run."

Su Yuxi pretended not to know that Cheng Xiaoyu had developed the habit of running now, and said: "Getting up early and running are both good things. Also, don't spoil Zhiyan too much. You can buy her things, but you can't give her money to spend casually.

.”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "You are really a responsible guardian!"

Su Yuxi said: "The sense of responsibility is the essence of human spirit, but some people are lacking in this aspect."

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, and then said a little aggrievedly: "I admit that I did not do some things well enough, but I have really tried hard to do my best. If I really have no sense of responsibility, maybe things will be easier to handle.

many."

Su Yuxi said noncommittally: "I hope you really work hard."

The two of them went downstairs together. The Filipino maid who was cleaning the floor quickly stood aside and shouted excitedly: "Master, good morning, Miss!"

Both of them said "Morning", and when they walked into the yard, the housekeeper Qiao Sansi was wearing black rubber shoes and holding a water pipe to water the flowers and trees. Cheng Xiaoyu said a little strangely: "Uncle Qiao, why are you doing this work?"

Qiao Sansi turned around and saw Cheng Xiaoyu. He first called out, "Master, good morning, miss!", then smiled and said, "The master has not lived at home these years, and the miss has not lived at home much. I felt that there were too many people in the family, so I asked for permission.

Madam Li has laid off some servants, drivers and gardeners. Being a gardener is also my specialty, so naturally it’s best for me to do it.”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said "Oh", and then said: "Thank you, Uncle Qiao!"

Qiao Sansi hurriedly said: "It's not hard, it's not hard. It will be great if the young master and the young lady come back. What do the young master and the young lady want to eat? I will ask Mother Wang to prepare it now!"

Cheng Xiaoyu said: "It's been a long time since I've tasted Wang Ma's cooking, so let's eat scallion noodles!"

Su Yuxi said: "I don't care!"

While talking, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that the matter was not just as simple as Qiao Sansi thinking that there were more people in the family, but he did not continue to ask Qiao Sansi and continued to walk towards the gate with Su Yuxi.

While changing shoes at the concierge, Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and asked Su Yuxi softly: "Is the family short of money?"

Su Yuxi said: "It should be that when you went to Neon, my mother cashed in all her fixed assets and gave them to you. In these years, Su Weilan not only didn't give her family the dividends of going to the river, she also kept asking my mother to borrow them.

Money, or I should persuade my mother to invest more and cash out with them."

Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at Su Yuxi and asked in surprise, "Then you didn't give any money to your family?"

Su Yuxi said lightly: "No, it's all your money."

Cheng Xiaoyu lowered his head to tie his shoelaces, not letting Su Yuxi see his face, and said softly: "I told you before, Xiyu is the dowry I gave you, and it is also the freedom I gave you."

Su Yuxi said: "Do you know how much Xiyu is worth now?"

Cheng Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders and stood up and said calmly: "I don't know, and I don't care. If you don't need it, then it's useless."

Although the answer was as she expected, Su Yuxi did not express any emotion, but stood up a little lighter.

Cheng Xiaoyu saw the red rope tied to her silver ponytail, like a burning flame.

The two walked out of the door and started jogging on the cement walk. The Shanghai in September still had the lingering power of summer, and the morning wind was not very cool. The very old laurel trees and locust trees on both sides of the road were swaying in the rustling way.

Lush branches and leaves, and the clear water of Moon Lake not far away.

An emerald morning.

The two ran towards the lake. Cheng Xiaoyu listened to Su Yuxi's steady breathing and kept the same rhythm as her. The breeze coming in front of them was sweet, the clouds reflecting the morning glow on the horizon were sweet, and the light and shadow were floating.

Wei Lan is sweet.

Birds chirping in the trees occasionally flock out of the forest like a startled bird. In late summer, when the wind is warm and the flowers are deep, the street lamps open their sleepy eyes, waiting for someone to break the promise of lighting up the night so that they can fall asleep.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt that this was really a peaceful and determined time.

When they were approaching Yuehu Lake, there were two old men in white Tang suits practicing Tai Chi on the green lawn. When they saw Su Yuxi jogging by, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted Su Yuxi.

Su Yuxi didn't speak, she just tilted her head and nodded in response.

One of them, an old man with gray hair and a clean face without any stubble, saw Su Yuxi on the other side, Cheng Xiaoyu, who was wearing a couple's outfit with her, smiled and gossiped about Su Yuxi.

Said: "Oh, sister of the Su family! I haven't seen you for a long time! Did you bring your boyfriend home?"

Obviously they were very familiar with Su Yuxi, and obviously they were not very familiar with Cheng Xiaoyu, and they didn't see Cheng Xiaoyu's appearance clearly.

Su Yuxi did not stop, but naturally took Cheng Xiaoyu's hand, waved it in the air, and turned around and said, "Yes! Take him home!"

Cheng Xiaoyu, who was holding Su Yuxi's hand, felt that the moon lake was rippling into poetry in front of his eyes, like pupils filled with affection.

Zhou Peipei got up a little early today. Normally she wouldn't get up until eight o'clock, but today was different. Not only was Su Yuxi back with Xiao Zhiyan, Cheng Xiaoyu was also back, so she had to go down early to arrange breakfast.

, and also sent Jiyeon to a new school.

Zhou Peipei originally planned to send Zhiyan to Gezhi Private School, the best aristocratic school in Shanghai, but Zhiyan strongly requested to go to Fudan Affiliated High School, so Zhou Peipei had to ask someone to get Zhiyan into Fudan Affiliated High School.

But today is different from the past. The sudden collapse of the Su family had a huge impact on Zhou Peipei. Although Cheng Xiaoyu was at the height of his power, most people believed the rumors in newspapers and magazines, thinking that Cheng Xiaoyu and the Su family had completely broken up.

In addition to the equity information later disclosed by the media, all the shares of "Shanghe" were in Su Yuxi and her name, so people who did not know the truth thought that Zhou Peipei was also one of the black hands who forced Cheng Xiaoyu away.

Zhou Peipei has also been burdened with a lot of rumors over the years, but she is too lazy to explain. With the decline of Shanghe and the rise of Cheng Xiaoyu, the cynicism behind her has increased. In addition, the economic conditions are not as good as before. Those so-called besties and friends in the past

His attitude towards her was also much more "casual", and he would tease and tease her from time to time. Zhou Peipei was not a patient person, and she broke off contact with many people.

Zhou Peipei tidied up a little, put on a little makeup, put her hair up, put on a string of pearl necklaces, and a classic black and white Chanel suit, and then went downstairs. This Chanel summer suit was bought last year.

Her income and some remaining savings are not tight, but she has a family to support, and she also wants to save some dowry for Su Yuxi, so she can't spend as much as she wants as before.

Zhou Peipei first went to Xiao Zhiyan's room to wake her up. After seeing her enter the bathroom, she told her to pack her schoolbag and come down early.

When they went downstairs, it was already bright. Zhou Peipei went to the dining room. Wang Ma was doing her best to prepare breakfast. The blue flames were burning under the iron pot, and the soymilk machine was buzzing on the cupboard.

Zhou Peipei saw Wang Ma frying the toppings for noodles with scallion oil and asked, "Does Xiaoyu want to eat noodles?"

Wang Ma said: "Yes! Butler Qiao came to tell me just now." After a slight pause, Wang Ma asked again: "Madam, the young master and the young lady will not leave this time, right?"

Zhou Peipei said in a brisk tone: "I won't leave! I have to leave when they get married." Last night, Zhou Peipei didn't know that Cheng Xiaoyu would also come back with Su Yuxi and Xiao Zhiyan. When she saw Cheng Xiaoyu and

When Su Yuxi appeared together, she was so excited that she almost burst into tears.

She had always hoped that Su Yuxi could reconcile with Cheng Xiaoyu. Although Cheng Xiaoyu was not her biological child, she had long regarded Cheng Xiaoyu as her own, so she naturally did not want the children to be separated from each other forever. Moreover, after Su Changhe passed away,

Cheng Xiaoyu and the Su family broke up, which made Zhou Peipei blame herself very much and was even a little dissatisfied with Su Yuxi's actions.

But she did not play any role in bonding the relationship between the two, which was also a worry for Zhou Peipei. Fortunately, Cheng Xiaoyu did well after leaving, which relieved a lot of pressure on Zhou Peipei, but for Su Yuxi and Cheng Xiaoyu

They parted ways and stopped contacting each other. Zhou Peipei has always been resentful.

Last night, we finally saw the two reconciled. Cheng Xiaoyu agreed to move back home, and Zhou Peipei was also happy all night.

Wang Ma put the spatula in the pot, clasped her hands together and recited: "Amitabha!" and then said: "Mr. Su will be happy if he is alive in heaven, and he will do as I say! The house is so big, don't leave even after you get married.

It would be nice to live together and have a lot of fun.”

Zhou Peipei thought that after Cheng Xiaoyu and Xu Qinning got married, there would definitely be no problem living at home. Xu Qinning and she would definitely not have any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The relationship between Xu Qinning and Su Yuxi was even more like that of sisters. Although now

Cheng Xiaoyu is very rich, but Zhou Peipei is happy to be able to persuade Cheng Xiaoyu to live together. She also wants to help Cheng Xiaoyu and Xu Qining raise their children.

As for Su Yuxi, Zhou Peipei is a little worried. She can't even look down on a young and promising man like Gu Xueren. Zhou Peipei really doesn't know what kind of man her daughter will like, but Su Yuxi is still young, so there is no need to mention her conditions.

, there is no need for her to worry

Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi finished their run and returned home at exactly 7:30. Because they had to run a little too fast later in order to rush for time, Cheng Xiaoyu was already sweating profusely and was out of breath. On the other hand, Su

Yu Xi only had fine beads of sweat on her forehead and cheeks, but her breathing was still very steady.

Cheng Xiaoyu took off his shoes at the concierge and sat on the sofa without thinking of getting up. He said to Su Yuxi who had already changed into slippers: "You go to eat first! I'll sit here and rest for a while!"

Su Yuxi stretched out her hand in front of Cheng Xiaoyu and said: "Get up, don't sit down, you can't rest immediately after strenuous exercise, go for a slow walk in the yard!"

Although Cheng Xiaoyu knew this taboo, he still looked up at Su Yuxi and said, "I came to see you finish your run, so why didn't I just go back to the room and take a shower?"

Su Yuxi said: "This is not considered a strenuous exercise for me. If I hadn't accommodated you today, I would have run at least twice the distance."

Cheng Xiaoyu was speechless and weakly raised his hand, holding it with Su Yuxi's catkins. Then he was pulled up by Su Yuxi. Although he held Su Yuxi's hand and didn't want to let go, Cheng Xiaoyu could only act as if nothing had happened.
