When Chen Lu returned home, he opened the door and saw Qing Lian and Wang Tong sitting together in the courtyard.
"Miss Wang." Chen Lu bowed and felt a little guilty.
Mainly because that night, I agreed to Wang Tong, and there was a high probability that I would reject Lu Hou.
But in the end, I still accepted the task, wasting the other party's good intentions.
"Chen Lu, I have something to say to you." Wang Tong also stood up, frowning slightly, "Would you like to go for a walk?"
"Of course." Chen Lu nodded. Chen Lu could probably guess what Wang Tong wanted to say to him, "Qinglian, Miss Wang and I will go for a walk outside."
"Yes." Ye Qinglian nodded, and then gently pulled Wang Tong's little hand, "Miss Wang, Chen Lu is stupid, but he is not evil. If Chen Lu offends Miss Wang, please ask Miss Wang
Don’t be the same as Chen Lu.”
"Don't worry, Qing Lian." Wang Tong said with a smile, "I just came to see Chen Lu about work matters, and nothing happened to Chen Lu."
Ye Qinglian glanced at Chen Lu with some disbelief, as if to say: "Did you really not offend Miss Wang?"
Chen Lu spread his hands: "Qinglian, I am now a model employee."
"Okay, don't worry so much, it's really fine."
Chen Lu stepped forward and flicked Ye Qinglian's forehead.
"Miss Wang, let's go." Chen Lu turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Wang Tong gave Ye Qinglian a reassuring look and then followed.
Walking on the street, Chen Lu and Wang Tong's outstanding appearance easily attracted attention.
But the jade pendants hanging around their waists also make people stay away from them.
"Chen Lu, you shouldn't accept that mission." Wang Tong sighed, "Can you tell me why?"
"Miss Wang, there are not so many reasons. In fact, I was moved by Mr. Lu.
At that time, Mr. Lu showed me two paintings.
One of them shows an octopus sucking a black cow.
The other one is of a nun and a fish."
"What kind of paintings are these???" Wang Tong complained.
"It doesn't matter what painting it is!" Chen Lu's tone was very serious, "What matters is! I understand a philosophy!"
"philosophy?"
"Yes!" Chen Lu said seriously, "Life and death are endless reincarnations! Some people live! Some people die!"
Wang Tong said speechlessly: "Are you here or here? Isn't it just death?"
"It's different! Some people die! It's heavier than Mount Tai! Some people die! It's lighter than a feather!"
The more Chen Lu talked, the more he felt his heart was filled with righteousness.
"For the Zhenyun Division! For the Kingdom of Qian! For the people of Liming! I won't go to hell! Who will go to hell!"
"Speak humanly!" Wang Tong said impatiently.
Chen Lu: "Master Lu gave me too much."
Wang Tong: "..."
Rubbing his eyes, Wang Tong sighed: "I knew...how many merit points are there this time?"
"Ten thousand." Chen Lu didn't hide anything.
"Chen Lu..."
Wang Tong stopped and turned around to look into his eyes.
"I know you want to earn enough merit points and then treat Qinglian, but there is no need for you to be in such a hurry.
With your basic skills, you will be able to save enough in a short time, so there is no need to take such a big risk.
If it doesn't work, just wait for me. I will soon save up to 20,000 merit points. I can take Qinglian to see a doctor.
The first thing you have to do is to stabilize your development and don’t let it go too far.”
"I appreciate Miss Wang's kindness, but Qinglian is very stubborn, and Qinglian will not accept Miss Wang's favor.
And 20,000 merit points is not a small amount of money for Miss Wang.
Furthermore, it’s not just because of merit points.
To be honest with Miss Wang, Mrs. Xia is actually very kind to me."
"A great favor?"
"That's right, it's a great favor. It's hard to say the details, but if it weren't for Mrs. Xia, I would have died long ago and wouldn't be alive now."
Chen Lu was vague.
This is really inconvenient to say.
You can't say, "Mrs. Xia gave me a bellyband, and this bellyband saved my life," right?
Looking at it this way, don't I look like a pervert?
Am I, Chen Lu, a pervert?
Chen Lu turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky:
"A drop of grace should be repaid by a spring of water, not to mention a life-saving grace. Therefore, I need to accept this mission, otherwise if something happens to Mrs. Xia, my conscience will not be at ease."
Looking at Chen Lu's righteous and awe-inspiring eyes, Wang Tong's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Wang Tong even felt a little dazed in her heart.
Is a man like this really a prodigal?
Was he really the one who sent me the bellyband at that time?
"I understand." Wang Tong stopped persuading, "Since you have made a decision, I won't say anything else. Don't worry, I will try my best to help you in this matter."
"Thank you, Miss Wang." Chen Lu smiled and bowed, "Actually, there is one thing I really want to ask Miss Xia for a favor."
"you say."
"Before this matter is over, can Qing Lian live with Miss Wang? After all, the matter is very important. Qing Lian lives next door, so I am worried."
"I understand." Wang Tong sighed, "You can tell Qing Lian about the specific matters yourself. If Qing Lian agrees, I will take Qing Lian into the palace."
"Thank you, Miss Wang." Chen Lu bowed.
"Chen Lu."
"Um?"
"Are you really a loser?"
"It used to be."
"What now?"
"Now....."
Chen Lu put his hands behind his back and looked at the sparkling lake.
"I want to be a good person!"
...
After seeing Wang Tong off, Chen Lu walked back home.
Although I am really not used to having Qinglian separated from me temporarily, this is the best way to protect Qinglian.
Qing Lian and Wang Tong have a good relationship. It should be no problem to stay in the palace for a while.
"Prince's Mansion..."
"Prince's Mansion..."
Suddenly, Chen Lu thought that the family who wanted to break off the engagement was also the royal family.
Shouldn't...
Probably not.
Chen Lu thought it was impossible. There was no such coincidence in the world.
"Qinglian, I'm back again."
Walking into the courtyard, Qing Lian was brushing Chen Lu's shoes.
"Qinglian, there is something I want to tell you."
Moving a chair, Chen Lu walked to Qing Lian's side.
"Hmm."
Qinglian nodded, her long eyelashes flickering gently. Under the rolled-up sleeves, the girl's arm was smooth and tender, like a baby's skin.
The other half is a terrible scar.
Whenever he saw this scar, Chen Lu thought that he must heal Qinglian!
"Qinglian, don't live with me anymore," Chen Lu said.
And just when Chen Lu finished speaking, Ye Qinglian suddenly stopped moving his hands, raised his head, his jewel-like eyes swayed slightly, his face turned pale, and he looked at Chen Lu blankly:
