Seven hundred and seventieth chapters like a dream
"Is it true?" Sima Rulan said with a smile on her face, "On the eighth day of August, that's only three months away from now."
Five years have passed since the two got engaged in Huaiqing City. Sima Rulan has never mentioned the wedding date to Hua Bushi, just as Hua Bushi has never mentioned Yang Jiangyi. This seems to be The tacit understanding between the two, however, was finally broken today.
Hua Bushi said: "Of course it's true. In three months, we will get married."
"Three months..." Joy just flashed across Sima Rulan's face. She soon regained her composure, lowered her eyes and said, "Why?"
Hua Bushi said: "Why why?"
Sima Rulan said: "Why did we get married so quickly?"
Hua Bushi said: "It has been many years since we made the engagement, and we have only just celebrated our wedding now. Isn't it so fast?"
"In the past five years, Mr. Hua has never mentioned the wedding date, but now he is getting married in such a hurry." Sima Rulan suddenly looked up at Hua Bushi and said, "Were you forced by Uncle Xiong to agree?" Get married as soon as possible,”
Hua Bushi quickly waved his hand and said: "How can there be such a thing? It's true that Uncle Xiong came to the city today to discuss the marriage with me, but I set the wedding date willingly and I am determined not to be forced in the slightest."
Sima Rulan frowned slightly: "Uncle Xiong has indeed been here."
She sighed and said: "Actually, Lan'er is not in a hurry about when to get married. Nowadays, everything in the sect is busy. How can it be completed in three months? In Lan'er's opinion, it is better to postpone the wedding for a while. It will take some time until the wars in each territory are calmed down. Mr. Hua does not need to worry about Uncle Xiong. I will just tell him."
Hua Bushi said: "Since the 'Evil Dog Sect' is going to expand its power with all its strength, there will be no peace in the next few years. I'm afraid there will be constant wars. If you and I wait until all the situations are calmed down before we get married, we don't know. How long do you have to wait?"
Sima Rulan said: "Unable to fulfill Mr. Hua's ideal, Lan'er feels uneasy and has no intention of getting married. I can wait for one or two years, three to five years, or longer. "
Hua Bushi looked at Sima Rulan's bright eyes as clear as autumn water, shook his head slowly, and said: "This is too unfair to you. Miss Lan'er's feelings, Hua Bushi is not a plant, how could he not know this? In the past five years, I have been busy developing my sect, and my wedding has been delayed again and again, which is really undeserved,"
Sima Rulan curled her lips and said with a smile: "No problem, Lan'er has been very happy and satisfied to be by Mr. Hua's side these years, and has no extravagant expectations for anything more. The wedding date has been decided. , I will talk to Uncle Xiong tomorrow,"
Looking at Sima Rulan's gentle appearance, a feeling of love and pity instantly surged into Hua Bushi's heart.
He has been so sorry to her over the years.
There are not many women in this world who can wait for five years without any regrets, and are still willing to wait until now. Moreover, she also knows that the man she is waiting for is not the one she loves most in her heart.
This is such a cruel and painful thing.
Hua Bushi suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the girl's jade palm wrapped in gauze, and said: "You don't have to talk to Uncle Xiong. I won't delay this time. Three months later, on the eighth day of August, we will Get married,"
Sima Rulan shook her head and said: "No, Lan'er really doesn't care about the wedding date at all. It's not what I want to get married in such a hurry. I know that what Mr. Hua is thinking about now is all about developing the sect. I definitely don’t want to get married to Lan’er at this time,”
Hua Bushi said: "Who says I don't want to? It has always been Hua Bushi's long-cherished wish to marry Miss Lan'er. If not, how could I have agreed to this marriage in Kaifeng City?"
Sima Rulan withdrew the hand held by Hua Bushi, but tears suddenly flashed in her beautiful eyes and said: "You agreed to get married to me at the beginning only because of Brother Guo, just like today you set the wedding date because of Just like Uncle Xiong, although Lan'er is dull, she also understands in her heart that Mr. Hua doesn't love Lan'er, so what's the point of getting married so reluctantly? It's better to just cancel the marriage."
After saying this, her tears couldn't stop anymore and immediately flowed down her cheeks.
There is no fairness in love in this world.
Mr. Hua is Sima Rulan's favorite man, but she knows very well that her status in his heart is not the first. When they got engaged in Kaifeng City that day, half of Sima Rulan's heart was filled with joy and the other half was filled with fear. It's like a thief who suddenly stole an unexpected huge amount of wealth.
As time goes by, the joy has faded away, but the fear and uneasiness has gradually taken root and grown bigger and bigger. Today, five years later, Sima Rulan has deeply felt that love cannot be forced, and happiness is even more important. It can't be stolen at all.
Sima Rulan looks gentle and gentle, but deep down she has her own pride. If the two truly love each other and can marry each other, she will certainly feel happy and satisfied. However, if Hua Bushi reluctantly marries her just for other reasons , but it was unacceptable to Sima Rulan. She would rather not have this outcome.
Over the past five years, the repeated postponement of the wedding has made Sima Rulan understand what Hua Bushi was thinking. The thought of canceling the engagement had passed through her mind many times. However, every time she thought about it, it would mean that if she really proposed it like this, Since she would never be able to be with Mr. Hua again, she couldn't let go, so she couldn't say it out loud.
Until today, when she learned that Hua Bushi was forced by Xiong Bailing to set a wedding date, Sima Rulan finally couldn't bear it anymore and said what she had thought about countless times. As soon as she said "cancel the engagement", she just felt Incomparable grievances and sadness surged up one after another, and I burst into tears immediately.
After all, Sima Rulan is just an emotionally pure girl.
At this time, Hua Bushi, who was sitting across the round table, seemed to be stunned and said: "You said you wanted to cancel the engagement, don't you want to marry me?"
Sima Rulan bit her lips tightly, with tears on her face, choked with sobs and unable to speak, she just nodded silently.
During the five years that I stayed with him, I was full of hope every day. I once thought that I would get the greatest happiness in my life, but I didn’t expect that it was just a dream. I have to wake up from the dream. Today, it’s finally time to end it all. .
Sima Rulan's heart was full of emotions, she stood up from the table and went to the back room. She did not want to cry in front of Mr. Hua, and she did not want him to know how sad she was for making such a decision.
However, just as she took a step forward, Sima Rulan's palm was grasped again. The force of the squeeze was so strong that her wound under the gauze felt painful. However, it was Hua Bushi who grabbed his palm, and Sima Rulan Lan was pulled by the young master, and her body became unsteady. She leaned involuntarily into his arms, while Hua Bushi's other arm had already hugged her slender waist.
In the past five years, the two of them have spent a lot of time alone, but Hua Bushi has always strictly guarded his courtesy and never exceeded it in the slightest. Such close contact has never happened before.
Sima Rulan struggled to free herself from Hua Bushi's embrace, but failed. This young master, who was usually weak and looked like a useless scholar, actually hugged her tightly at this moment. Never let go.
"What are you going to do?" Sima Rulan said angrily, a blush appearing on her jade face.
She didn't hear the answer, she only felt her heart pounding, and Hua Bushi was breathing rapidly, and his breath was spraying directly on her face. It was obvious that the young master spent a lot of energy in order to hold her.
When he was about to ask again, Sima Rulan's mouth was suddenly blocked by Hua Bushi's lips.
He actually kissed her.
What is this? Is it the last kiss when they break up? Or is it the young master who feels guilty and is offering her compensation. Sima Rulan would rather not have such a kiss.
She wanted to reach out and push Hua Bushi away, but her body was weak and she didn't have any strength. Her mind was in a daze and confusion, as if she was trapped in a sea of lust. She couldn't struggle at all and could only bear it passively. The other person’s tenderness.
The hot lips pressed together so tightly that Sima Rulan almost suffocated. A very unfamiliar confusion made her feel frightened. It all happened so suddenly, it was all like an illusion. She seemed to be drunk. I completely forgot that this was my first kiss.
She didn't know how long this kiss lasted. She had lost the concept of time. It might only be a moment, or it might be a lifetime.
Sima Rulan closed her eyes. At this moment, she only knew that she was leaning in the arms of her beloved and being kissed by him, which made her feel extremely satisfied.
Maybe after waiting for five years, all she could hope for was just this moment of warmth and happiness.
When she opened her eyes again, their lips had separated, she was still leaning in his arms, and Hua Bushi's extremely familiar face was right in front of her.
"I will not agree to break off the engagement. You must marry me. On the eighth day of August, I will definitely marry you," Hua Bushi's voice was steady and authentic, and his tone revealed incomparable determination.
"Are you really willing to marry me?" Sima Rulan asked softly with a sad look.
Hua Bushi nodded.
"What about Sister Jiangyi? If you get married to me, won't she be sad?"
"She won't, because I will marry her as my wife and love her with all my heart," Hua Bushi answered without any hesitation, "In this life, Hua Bushi is the luckiest person to have you two as his confidante. I will never let down any of you,"
He stared at Sima Rulan, his eyes full of tenderness, and said: "Do you know how I felt when you said you would break off the engagement just now? I was extremely scared at the time, and I just thought about what if I let you go today. , I am about to lose the most gentle and beautiful wife in the world. Even if I use everything in exchange, I will never agree,"
Sima Rulan bit her lips lightly and said: "I know that in Mr. Hua's heart, Sister Jiangyi is the person he loves most, and Lan'er will never be able to compare with her. You said these words to me because you want to coax Lan'er."
Are you happy?"
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "You are completely wrong. Maybe when we were on Okura Island, I just regarded you as a good friend, but since we met again in Kaifeng, we have been together for five more years. Your
Gentle, kind, smart and cute, Hua Bushi has long been admired."
He reached out and touched Sima Rulan's face, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and brushed away the black hair covering her ears.
"So I think I have fallen in love with you, and I just hope that I can spend this life with you and never be separated again," Hua Bushi whispered in her ear, "Your importance in my heart is absolutely no less important than anything else."
people,"
Sima Rulan did not dare to look at Hua Bushi. The blush on her cheeks had slowly spread to the base of her neck. She heard Hua Bushi's voice again: "On the eighth day of August, will you marry me?"
Tears welled up in Sima Rulan's eyes again, but this time it was not because of sadness, but because of joy.
Why are great sorrows and great joys so closely connected that it is too late to prepare? Just a moment ago, she thought she had lost everything, her heart was broken, and she was heartbroken. However, a moment later, she found that she had gained everything. She
I once again doubted whether I was dreaming, and even in a dream, I'm afraid it wasn't as beautiful as this.
She was speechless and could only nod her head randomly.
No matter what happens in the future, or how much truth Hua Bushi said, at this moment, Sima Rulan just feels that she is the happiest woman in the world.
