Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 51
For twenty days, Pippi had neither seen Helan nor Jialin. She spent a lot of time with Jialin’s parents, comforting them, and telling them that Jialin was being treated by a “Qigong master”. After all, I worked in the news unit, and Pippi made up stories to come alive. She said that the master had rescued many terminally ill patients, too many people begged him, and he had to go secretly.
On the twenty-third day, Pippi suddenly received a call from Helan Jingting.
“Hi, Pippi.” The voice over there was a little hoarse.
“Helan?”
“It’s me.” He said, “You know there is a coffee on the island near your newspaper, right?”
“I know.”
“I have already sent Jialin to that cafe. Will you pick it up?”
Does he not go by himself?
Pippi’s heart beats wildly: “Helan, are you okay?”
There was a pause and said, “Well, I have something to do with the internal affairs of the fox clan. I need to leave here for a while. Don’t worry, Jialin is fine. It may take a few months to recuperate. But he has already Completely recovered.”
The more relaxed his tone was, the more Ominous Pippi had a premonition. She immediately said: “Helan, I want to see you.”
“I will come to you when I’m done.”
“How long will it take?”
“About two weeks.” He paused, and said, “Pippi, can you promise me one thing?”
“What…what is it?” Her heart sank bit by bit.
“I will come to you. But you must never come to me, don’t call me, let alone Xianting Street, okay?”
“Why? What happened?”
“Can you promise me?”
“I promise you, but—”
She also wanted to ask, over there, the phone suddenly hung up. She picked up the packet and rushed to the cafe.
Shangdao Coffee is on the second floor of a gray tall building. Downstairs is the largest Xinhua Bookstore in the city. Pippi used to come here to help Jialin buy books. When she reached the door of the cafe, she hesitated. Standing by the door, his body felt weak, unable to move for a long time. She began to worry about Helan Jingting somehow.
“Is the lady coming in for coffee?” The waiter at the door came up to greet.
She smiled and said, “Yes.” She walked in and saw Jialin sitting on the flannel sofa behind the screen. He was still wearing the blue plaid shirt he used to go to Xianting Street, so thin that his collarbone was exposed, his arms were thin, and his face was plump, but his eyes were still cuddled like he did when he was sick. A little fleshy color will appear in the month. He has been silently looking at the embroidered screen. There was a cup of tea on the table, the rope of the tea bag fell out, it was still full, and I didn’t drink it.
“Hi, Jia Lin.” She walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite.
His smile was a little hollow, and his eyes looked like Helan Jingting during the day. Pippi was a little bit apprehensive in his heart. Jia Lin really looked like Helan, especially when he was smiling. Their body is generally tall, even the skeleton looks similar.
The only difference is that Helan is more delicate than Jialin. Three points should be refined in all details. The nose is firmer, the eyebrows are thicker, the lips are fuller, and the cheek line is harder. He is a fine brushwork that can withstand the picky, full of mind, and the details are in place. However, when dealing with him, this person is not as clear and clear as his appearance, the **** is mysterious, elusive, and no one can guess his mind.
In contrast, Jialin is a freehand landscape, which should be thick and light, maybe not perfect and sexy, but there is an indescribable purity and quietness. Like the lake under the moon, like the morning mist in the distant mountains, it naturally gives people kindness and trust.
She suddenly realized that she couldn’t fall in love with Helan because she couldn’t define this person, and she couldn’t feel safe if she couldn’t define it. She refused to believe that he was a fox in nature, and refused to accept this alien that was completely different from her. Jialin has always been a part of herself, an extension of her desire and dignity. But when she discovered that Jia Lin and Tian Xin were in love on the night, in an instant, didn’t Jia Lin also become an alien that she hated by gnashing her teeth?
Thoughts flashed in an instant, Jia Lin was far away and Helan was near. The fine brushwork is still fine brushwork, but the freehand brushwork is disappointed and it becomes a mess of random graffiti.
“Do you have coffee?” Jia Lin asked.
“One serving of milk, no sugar, thank you.”
He stood up and asked for coffee and brought it to her. Seeing his agility and strong pace, Pippi knew that his body had really recovered.
“My mind is a bit messy recently.” He pointed to his head, “I clearly remember that I was lying in the hospital. When I woke up, I found myself sitting in a strange cafe. Pippi, you know what happened. What’s the matter?”
“That’s it… you are very sick.” She blinked, “I happened to know a miraculous qigong master. He cured your illness, but there are too many people looking for him, so you shouldn’t ask him. s personal profile.”
“He saved me, I always have to thank him!”
“I’ve taken care of it. You don’t owe him any favors.”
He glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: “Pippi, you have changed a lot. You have never spoken and acted so decisively before.”
“Why not? I decisively interrupted the bridge of your nose.”
Just such a joke made him change color for a while, thinking it was a deliberate sarcasm, and after careful observation, he understood that it was just a joke.
The sad past, the pain of heartbreak, and now I can finally chuckle.
The smile in her eyes, the mood and attention she gradually moved away from.
“I’m sorry, I forgot to congratulate you,” he was puzzled, and he found that Pippi’s eyes were also elusive for the first time, “I don’t know you are married, that Mr. Helan…what does he do?”
“He works in a museum.”
Jia Lin’s gaze swept across her face. She used to talk a lot. He said half a sentence and she could talk about it. Now she also knows the reservations and knows the subtlety. He couldn’t help being stunned, speechless for a long while.
After a while, he said, “Pippi, if your life is unsatisfactory in the future, I will wait for you. If you are sick, if no one takes care of you, I will take care of you.”
He was a little excited when he said this, and his voice was trembling. He could see that he had a lot to say, but he couldn’t say anything, he just held her hand firmly.
“Okay.” Pippi said with a smile, and then pretended to drink coffee and pulled his hand away.
His face stiffened. To hide himself, he looked at his watch and got up and said, “I have to go see my parents.”
“Of course. Go ahead, your parents are in a hurry.” Pippi said, but didn’t stand up.
As he was about to leave, his body suddenly stopped, as if he had made some determination. He turned around and said to her: “Pippi–me and you–”
“I don’t love you anymore, Jia Lin.” She interrupted him immediately, not knowing whether she was talking to him or herself. In short, the voice was a bit loud and sounded a little strange, as if she didn’t say it by herself. You will always be my friend.”
After that, he looked at him and smiled calmly.
He stagnated, and then smiled, seeming to agree with her. Then he said nothing, and soon disappeared.
The pain accumulated in my heart for several years suddenly disappeared. She felt relaxed for a while, and quickly dialed Xiaoju’s cell phone.
“Wow haha! Xiaoju-the snap-up season is here! Come with me to snap up! Newlyweds buy!”
“First make it clear, who is the groom and who is the old man?”
“What’s new and old? There is always only one bridegroom, Helan Jingting.”
Helan, Jing Ting.
What a beautiful name.
He, Lan, Jing, Ting.
Every sound is jumping on the tip of the tongue.
Do you have to cherish it until you lose it? Scarlett Scarlett didn’t realize that she loved Barred until the last pages of the story.
Pippi felt that he was much better than Scarlett.
A week passed quickly.
Pippi’s quilts, bedspreads, pillows, and a full set of high-end cups have been piled up in Xiaoju’s cabinet. She dare not announce the wedding for the time being, and the trivial preliminary preparations are all going on underground. The policy has been set, and the rest is just the same. From dinner time on Monday, Pippi introduced his “boyfriend” to his family. From appearance and height, to economic foundation, from moral character to career prospects, everything makes mom and grandma happy. My mother said that if you have a house, a car, and a deposit, you can also find such a son-in-law. What is valuable is that they are also quite old, only three or four years older. Such young people have stamina. Grandma said, nothing else matters, as long as he can treat Pippi well, can make Pippi smile, respect and love each other, and support each other, he is a good man. As for Helan Jingting’s sun blindness and fox fairy status, everyone was too happy, and no one asked Pippi carefully. Daddy Pippi, who couldn’t get his mouth open, licked his pipe and said, “No matter what, people have to come. Parents can see, right?” Pippi quickly said, “Of course, he has recently I’m on a business trip, and I will see you as soon as I come back.”
Since Pippi had a happy boyfriend, the house has been much quieter. Everyone is looking forward to meeting this future son-in-law.
Another week passed.
Pippi still did not receive a call from Helan Jingting. She did not dare to call his cell phone, nor to go to Xianting Street, for fear of breaking his business. But there is still a way to inquire about Helan Jingting’s whereabouts.
She went to Qianmei Hospital.
Xiuyu and Kanyong would not know the whereabouts of Helan Jingting.
She heard a terrible thing on the first floor of the hospital.
“I’m looking for Dean Zhao. Mr. Zhao Kuanyong.” She said to the receptionist.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Guan. I used to be a patient here and a friend of his.”
“Mr. Zhao passed away.” The young lady whispered.
Pippi was shocked: “Mr. Zhao? Are you sure it is Mr. Zhao Kuanyong?”
“of course.”
“When did you die?” she asked, expecting something bad.
“Two weeks ago.”
“Why died? Sick?”
“Myocardial infarction.”
Pippi looked at the reception lady suspiciously. She clearly remembered that Helan said that the fox has no internal organs, only reproductive organs, and it is not easy to die under normal circumstances. However, once the true essence is taken away by someone, they will fall down like an empty shell and disappear like a bubble. Therefore, Kuan Yong will never have any “myocardial infarction”. Breeding foxes, especially those with pure bloodlines and years of training like Kanyong and Xiuyan, are the most ferocious and combative in the fox world, and there are only a handful of fox fairies that can kill them. Helan himself is very polite to them.
Thinking about it this way, her calf felt weak and she almost couldn’t stand firmly. Could it be that Mr. Aoki came out of the mountain? Could it be that Zhao Song arrived in C City? Could it be another true and eternal chaos? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she was suddenly confused, and unconsciously grasped the receptionist’s hand tightly: “Then, may I ask, Mr. Xiu? Mr. Xiu?”
“He is now the dean. But this week he sent Mr. Zhao’s coffin back to his hometown for burial. It is the hometown’s rule that the funeral must be held in his hometown. Our side is catching up with the peak season. There is a large flow of patients and insufficient staff. Up to now, there is no time to arrange a memorial service. But Mr. Zhao went there so suddenly, and we are all very sad.”
Back home? Buried? Pippi became more confused as she listened: “Do you know where Mr. Zhao is from?”
“Tianshui people.”
Having never heard of this place, she was stunned. The reception lady added: “In Gansu Province.”
She asked for Xiuyan’s cell phone number and ran outside to call him. The phone rang a few times, and the other party shuts down.
Then she went into chaos and began to call everyone who knew Helan Jingting to ask him where he was. Helan Jingting stayed simple, and there were not many people who knew him, and even fewer people had contact with him. Pippi was so anxious that he regretted not having an address book with the Guanyin Lake Club that day, even if it was good to ask the foxes for business cards.
——The people in the museum said that Helan Jingting took a one-month holiday and has not returned yet. They were also looking for him, and there was no response to the email sent to him.
——The people at the farm said that since Helan left Xi’an, he has never contacted them again.
——The gardener said that he was only responsible for managing the garden. He didn’t know where Helan went, and he didn’t see him in his garden.
——The florist said that Helan has not come to buy flowers for a long time.
In desperation, she suddenly thought of Su Mei.
“I haven’t seen Helan for a long time,” Su Mei said.
“Then have you heard of Zhao Kuanyong’s death?”
There was silence over there: “I heard.”
“Do you know how he died?”
“This is our fox clan’s business, you must not intervene, the less you know, the safer you are.”
“But I’m already married to Helan, am I half a fox clan? His business is mine.” She said loudly.
“Marriage?” Su Mei groaned, “God!”
“what’s wrong?”
“Pippi,” wailed over there, “you will monopolize Helan. Can you learn from Andy Lau? Can you leave us fans alive?”
“Oh, I won’t live to be a hundred years old. After I die, isn’t he yours again?”
Pippi is anxious, when is this, this person still does not forget to tease.
“Pippi, do you know who was the first person who wanted to kill you when you married Helan?”
“Who?”
“Zhao Song. If you marry Helan and give birth to a child, whether it is a man or a woman, you will be the next leader of the fox clan.”
Left priest Zhao Song! Pippi’s heart shuddered, and immediately said, “Strange, the fox people are immortal, and the leader will not die. How can there be heirs?”
“Who says we are immortal? Who says we won’t die? We live very hard!”
Was hit. Is there a common sense error? Pipi said timidly: “Aren’t you all hundreds of years old? Didn’t you say you can live to tens of thousands of years?”
Human culture is only five thousand years old.
“Our survival depends on the essence of mankind and nature. If we are deprived of our true essence, we will immediately return to the pre-cultivation state and become a natural fox. By then, our life span will be less than a year. There is no fox fairy in ten thousand years. One of ten thousand years old is Helan’s father. He is currently the oldest fox fairy in existence on earth. After the True and Eternal Rebellion, his body and skills have been affected. He has been severely injured and has been living in seclusion in the mountains. He has not shown up for hundreds of years, and all the affairs at hand have been handed over to Zhao Song.”
Pippi’s heart sank suddenly: “Taking the true essence? How to take it?”
“It is to directly take away the primordial pearls cultivated in the fox fairy. Here, those with high status can take away those with low status; those with a long training period can take away those with a short period. No matter how old they are, they can take away non-fox species at any time. Yuanzhu.”
“But, is Helan a fox?”
“There are two kinds of foxes. The leader’s children naturally have the ability to breed foxes. Next are the foxes selected by generations of pure blood such as Kanyong and Xiuyu. Zhao Song is also of this type.”
Pippi’s mind was in a mess, and he started to calculate: Zhao Song is more senior than Helan, and Helan is higher than Zhao Song. They are all species of foxes, who can take away whom? A logic problem cannot be solved for a long time. After taking a few breaths anxiously, he simply asked, “Sister Meimei, who in this world can take Helan’s true essence?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end, but Pippi’s palm was nervous and sweaty.
Just listen to Su Mei said: “Except for his own father, about only Zhao Song is left. The elders of Gao Deshao will not be enemies of him. Zhao Song is slightly lower than Helan in terms of status. He is a thousand-year-old celestial fox, not only a hundred years longer than Helan, but also one level higher. He has stronger skills than Helan, and he has been in constant friction with Helan recently.——Pippi, you want Be careful! You gossip with pure Yang and excellent liver quality, which is what Zhao Song preys on. When he was hungry, he picked countless women overnight. The women he touched would be exhausted and die within half a month.”
If he heard this on weekdays, Pippi would definitely feel that five thunderstorms were imminent. But now she doesn’t care about herself, and only cares about one thing in her heart: where is Helan Jingting.
“Sister Mae Mei, tell me, how can I find Helan?”
“If he really wants to hide,” Su Mei said, “you won’t find him.”
Her mind turned quickly: “How do you know he is hiding?”
“Pippi, I heard—this was just I heard—that Kwanyong’s death was related to Zhao Song. Kwanyong is a close friend of Helan. If something happens to him, Helan will definitely not stand by. Xiuyan is even more concerned. I won’t take a break.”
Pippi on the phone is already in a cold sweat. Suddenly raising his head, he saw dark clouds pressing down on the city, and the storm was about to come.
——It turned out to be a fight.
Seeing her silent for a long time, Su Mei said again: “Don’t worry. If you really start with Zhao Song, Helan won’t suffer. Mr. Qingmu was kept hidden in the mountains by him for hundreds of years. How could he be afraid of a Zhao Song?”
If I didn’t say this, Pippi immediately felt that a needle was inserted directly into the top of his head.
Suddenly, my back was cold, and I couldn’t move my whole body, I was so anxious that I wanted to bite my tongue!
At this time, she actually asked Helan to treat Jialin! ! !
