Li Zizhong began to move his personal belongings out of Yilushen Island. At the same time, he also canceled preparations for the wedding. At the end of this relationship, he unexpectedly felt pleasure. He deposited a sum of money in the name of Miao Hong in the bank, and put the passbook in a conspicuous place in her room. He was going back to London the next day to start a new life. Li Zizhong admitted defeat. He is a businessman, and his investment has suffered a little loss, which is a common thing in business. He concealed his anger and sorrow very well. In the evening, before Miao Hong came back, he asked the housekeeper, "Where did Miss Miao go?"

The housekeeper answered truthfully: "Mr. Hu's boat came to pick her up and left." Li Zizhong was silent, and said after a while: "You guys rest." After the servant left, Li Zizhong locked all the doors of the mansion. Afterwards he couldn't explain why he had a whim and insisted on doing that. Did you not let Miao Hong in?He had already decided to gift Yilushen Island to her, that was not the reason. Whether she comes back or not, he no longer cares, he will leave her tomorrow morning. It began to snow after nine o'clock, and Li Zizhong meditated alone while the fire was hidden. He thought of many things.

His father urged him to go back to take care of the business, and his mother was anxious to introduce him to Sugar King's daughter who had just returned from school. He would soon forget about this island. I don't know which piece of wood exploded with a bang, splashing out some sparks, igniting his memory. He remembered the first time he saw her. Her father was a worker in the factory and lived in drunken village. She came to intercede for his underdeveloped brother, with her head bowed, her unusually slender body wearing only an old vest and a sarong, but her face was extremely beautiful.

I really don't understand how such a famous girl can be raised in such a shabby room. He asked her name and her circumstances, promised to help, and sent her back. For days and nights he could not forget her. So, he listened to his heart. Li Zizhong sighed and went back to his room, it was just after midnight. Surprisingly, he slept soundly. In the middle of the night, he heard someone throwing stones and knocking on the window, and he woke up suddenly. He didn't get up, just listened carefully. "Zizhong, open the door, Zizhong." He vaguely heard someone calling him outside the house.

He turned around and ignored her. She could walk to the worker's dormitory. Until tonight, he was still the owner, and he didn't want to open the door, lest they would have another big fight. He closes his eyes. She lingered outside the door for quite a long time, knocking on it non-stop, and finally at dawn, all sounds fell silent. Li Zizhong also fell into a dream again. When I woke up again, the sky was completely bright, and the snow was one meter deep, which was extremely white. Li Zizhong pushed open the window and saw a person squatting in the snow. He hurried down to open the door, and saw Miao Hong raised her head tremblingly, her face was about the same color as the snow.

She said softly, "Why don't you open the door—" He carried her into the house and immediately called a doctor for treatment. The doctor advised the patient to go to the hospital for treatment immediately. But Miao Hong smiled faintly: "I will not leave Yilushen Island." The doctor said, "But you've had a relapse—" "Put down the medicine and go." In the days that followed, neither he nor she left. Her eyes gradually sunk in, and her condition worsened day by day, but she resolutely refused to go to the hospital and asked all the servants to take leave.

She said happily: "It's finally like the beginning, and there are only two of us again, and we will never quarrel again." Indeed, until the end of her life, she never had any further quarrels with him. One night, he moved her and her chair to sit by the fire. Suddenly she raised her head, "Why did you turn off the light, it's pitch black in front of you." Li Zizhong was taken aback, all the lights were still on, what happened to her? In a flash, Li Zizhong understood that Miao Hong's eyes had lost their function. Shocked and sad, he went to hold her up.

Miao Hong raised her head, she also understood, but her voice was still clear, "I kept my promise, I didn't leave this island." "You don't have to do that, I've decided to let you go free." Miao Hong sighed, and the hand holding Li Zizhong gradually slipped down. "Remember," she murmured, "whenever you love someone, don't make her feel that she owes you too much." Li Zizhong hastily bent down to talk to her, but she had already lowered her head. Ru Xin writes here and puts down the pen. She groaned and fell on the desk. Hearing the sound, Ma Guli said in surprise, "Miss, you wrote all night again."

Ru Xin raised her head, and Ma Guli was startled, "Miss, I'll take you out to see a doctor right away." She had a high fever and was really sick. When Xu Zhongzhi heard the news, he immediately came in and took her out to see a doctor, but he didn't blame her any more, the mistake was already made, it's useless to talk about it, let's get injections and medicine to drive away the illness. The doctor said: "It's not a serious problem, it's just that I'm overtired, and the filtering bacteria are taking advantage of it. Just rest for a few days and it'll be fine."

Xiao Xu said: "Tomorrow I will pick up the two younger sisters on your behalf." Ru Xin nodded. That night she boarded at Xiao Xu's house. As a real estate administrator, he only lives in a leased apartment. Generally, native-born children have no plans. Social welfare is good, so there is no need to worry about the future. "I'll be laying the floor in the living room, just call me if you need anything." As soon as Ru Xin lay down, she jumped up again, "Box, I forgot to bring that box out too." "No one will touch that box." "Oh, Zhong Zhi, you don't know—"

Xu Zhongzhi suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Hurry up and rest!" It really worked, Zhou Ruxin immediately went back to bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep. Ru Xin didn't fall asleep immediately, the bed was too small, and some springs were damaged, it was not comfortable to sleep on. Ru Xin wanted to give him a bed, but then felt ridiculous, how can a woman give a bed to a friend of the opposite sex? Then, just give him a set of furniture, his sofa is not much better, it is still rented out by the landlord and even the apartment, it is already in tatters. But Ru Xin knew very well that he would not accept it. The next day, when the heat subsided, Ru Xin asked to see where the two younger sisters were staying. Xiao Xu knew that she was worried, so she asked her to wear an extra coat and drive there. The apartment is on Beach Road, just a corner away from the city center, very convenient.Brand new building, when you open the door, you can see completely newly renovated, milky white carpet and furniture, and daily necessities in the bathroom, without missing a single item. Ru Xin was very satisfied, "Too thoughtful." "Our company has a dedicated service, and only charges a small fee." "Is it rented temporarily?" "If you are satisfied, you can buy it." Ru Xin looked at him, smiled and said, "You are so good at planning for customers, do you invest in yourself?" Xu Zhongzhi scratched his scalp, unable to answer. Ru Xin smiled, "This is called a flower girl inserting bamboo leaves." Xiao Xu was shocked, "The description is really accurate!" Ru Xin opened the window, the living room is facing the beach of English Bay, there are already beachgoers gathered, she knows that her sister must like it here. "Let's go pick up the plane." "The doctor told you to rest well." "Why don't you go? What will my sister think? It's the first time the two of them have traveled far in their lives, and my sister will put on airs and refuse to pick up the plane. I have just inherited an inheritance, so I will be misunderstood as arrogant." "Hey, you have a problem." "Let's talk about it after receiving them." "I'll help you." Ru Xin covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm going to be an old woman now." Fortunately, the two sisters walked out of the customs an hour after the plane arrived. Ru Xin smiled and said, "The neck is so long." The two younger sisters were a little shy when they saw their elder sister, as if seeing an elder, Ru Xin lived with her aunt since she was a child, so it's no wonder that she didn't hang out with her younger sister much. Back at the apartment, the eldest sister immediately called home to report that she was safe. The younger sister was full of praise for the furnishings, "It's great, two people have two bathrooms, no need to argue." Ru Xin was already very tired, so she put down some cash and planned to go back to rest. The eldest sister remembered, "Sister, where do you live?" Ru Xin smiled, "After completing the admission procedures, I will take you to see it." The two of them thanked Xu Zhongzhi. Xiao Xu is teaching the way, "The first thing is to get a driver's license." "I have an international license." "There is a car rental company around the corner..." Ru Xin asked the second younger sister, "Are your parents okay?" "Fine, but will miss us." Over there, Xiao Xu has finished giving instructions, "You can go." Ru Xin said, "How can I tell you to sleep on the floor again, I'd better go back to Yi Lu Shen?" Xiao Xu stamped his feet, "I'm just afraid that you are living in a hallucination." Ru Xin raised her head, "If you can break away from the Fireworks Realm, you will be carefree." Xiao Xu said: "So I am very glad that the two younger sisters came to you and forced you to return to the real world." "Look how happy they are." "I don't want you to return to the island before you recover from your illness. When you are weak, you are more likely to be in a trance and think wildly." Ru Xin raised her head, "Maybe there will be new inspiration." "My friend Shangguan in the lab asked me if I had any new discoveries." "No progress." Ru Xin was helpless. "Come on, let me show you the house." "I don't have the energy this time, call Rozigers to pick me up." Xiao Xu bargained, "I will leave tomorrow." Ru Xin just laughed. "I know," Xiao Xu said dejectedly, "You think the dwelling is shabby." "You know I'm not that kind of person." "Is Yilushen Island calling you?" "The island does have a charm, so to speak." "I'll accompany you back." "Zhong Zhi, the time you set aside these days...let me pay you." "I don't wait for money." If everyone said this, the world would be peaceful. The eldest sister has sharp ears and has already heard part of their conversation. "Island, what island, we want to go too." "Sister, you didn't say you live on an island." "What's going on, let's go sightseeing." Ru Xin smiled: "Don't you need to do serious business?" "Hey, it can be postponed until after the end of the week." "Then, let's come together." The two sisters cheered. In the afternoon, they returned to the island with Rozigers and Marguli. The two servants were shocked when the eldest sister appeared. Immediately said to my sister: "Why is the skin so dark?" Ru Xin persuaded: "There must be no racial discrimination." "It looks weird, sister, aren't you afraid?" "They are very nice people." "Hey, I'm not used to it." The second sister asked, "How long will it take to travel by water?" "More than an hour." "Does it take half a day to come and go? It's too time-consuming and inconvenient, sister, it's better to move out, our apartment is in a first-class location." Xiao Xu said softly: "They don't like isolated islands." Ru Xin nodded, it is really the bear's paw of the first and the arsenic of the second. The two younger sisters have always loved to be lively. When they arrived on the island, the two of them were even more surprised, "There is only one family on the whole island? Wouldn't that be called heaven and earth? Wow, no one knows what happened!" Nina introduced, "The scenery is excellent——" The eldest sister stuck out her tongue, "Even if it's a fairyland, it doesn't work. I'm most afraid of being isolated from the world." "Like a monastery in medieval times." Ru Xin didn't expect them to be so disgusted, she was surprised. They didn't even want to visit, expressing their desire to leave immediately. Ruxin can't laugh or cry. "Sister, you shouldn't stay too long." "I'm not afraid." "Staying alone for a long time will lead to withdrawn personality. Sister, you are too quiet to be alone on an island." Xiao Xu praised: "It makes sense." "Let's go, I'm going to rest." "That's not good, it's not good to have no one to accompany you, so let's do it." Make a sacrifice, "We'll stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning." Ru Xin could only laugh. The two younger sisters have cheerful and lively personalities, which are in perfect contrast to her quiet personality. In the evening, at the dinner table, the eldest sister complained, "It's too quiet, and it's buzzing in my ears." I am used to living in a crowded city with a narrow area, and I am disturbed by noise every day. I have lived in the abalone for a long time, and once it is quiet, I feel abrupt. Ru Xin found a small TV and turned it on to make some noise. The second sister was dumbfounded again, "My sister is too trusting, you just eat food made by strangers like this?" But Ru Xin didn't even think about suspecting anyone with evil intentions. Careless and open-minded. "Dad told us to be careful when we go out." Ru Xin agreed, "Papa's words make sense." But she lived with her aunt since she was a child. The two of them ate a lot and praised the food as delicious. Then I went upstairs to change clothes, I didn't see them coming down for a long time, Ru Xin went up to look, only to see two people lying on the same bed, already asleep with their clothes on, they didn't even take off their shoes. Xiao Xu came up and couldn't help laughing when he saw this situation. He gently closed the door for them. Ru Xin said: "Youth has this advantage." Xu Zhongzhi was surprised, "Why are you so old-fashioned, you are not their elders." Ru Xin smiled, "Go and rest too." "Yes, grandma." Ru Xin also went back to the room, when a wind suddenly blew up, the leaves were blown up and down like waves, and the rustling sound could be heard through the window. Ru Xin lay on the sofa with her arms under her head. It would be too selfish for this island to be owned by one person. She closed her eyes. Ru Xin turned around and secretly laughed, she never thought that the three sisters were all as lazy as pigs, they didn't take off their make-up, take a bath and change their clothes, they fell asleep right away. "Ruxin, Ruxin." Who, who called her? "Ru Xin, only you can sleep so peacefully on this island." Ru Xin knew who the voice belonged to. "Mr. Li." She sat up from the sofa. The young Li Zizhong looked at her with a smile. Ru Xin suddenly asked: "If I sell the island, will you be unhappy?" "I don't care about the things that have been released. The island belongs to you and you can dispose of it." Ru Xin asked again: "Thirty years ago, what happened on the island?" Li Zizhong just smiled. "Do you think the story I wrote is ridiculous?" "I rarely cared what other people thought or said about me." Ru Xin sincerely admired, "I wish I could be like you." "You don't need to practice this kind of kung fu." "Mr. Li, did you come to see me for something?" "No, nothing important, I just came to visit the new island owner." "In the future, if I sell the island, will you still appear?" Li Zizhong laughed, "I don't know how to visit strangers, and I believe you won't either." Ru Xin is relieved. "Ru Xin, the story you want will soon have new developments." "what?" "You will know the truth soon." "Really?" Ru Xin jumped up excitedly. Li Zizhong walked to the window, "Hey, it's dawn, it's time for you to get up and wash up." Ru Xin nodded, "That's right, Marguli will knock on the door later." Before he could finish speaking, the door knocked. Ru Xin turned her head and said, "Come in." The two younger sisters laughed, pushed open the door, and approached Ru Xin, Ru Xin smelled a fragrance, the two of them had already dressed up. Ru Xin stretched her waist, "It's my turn." "Sister, I want to borrow some clothes from you." "Please help yourself." When I opened the closet, I was very disappointed, "Is this all?" "Go buy it." The second sister jumped up, "What kind of clothes are popular here?" Ru Xin is in the bathroom, she has recovered 70% to 80% of her spirit, "You can tell when you go to the city center." The two sisters were eager to fly to the boutique immediately. They wouldn't even take this Yilushen Island as a gift. Ru Xin made her last effort, "Would you like to take a walk around the island this morning?" Sisters looked at me, I looked at you, shook their heads together, and shared their hearts, "We are not interested in nature." "Since we're here—" "Is the ship ready to sail at any time?" Ru Xin could only smile and said, "No problem." A group of them walked to the pier. Falling flowers danced along the way, and the second sister kicked up the petals on the ground, "It's really poetic." Xu Zhongzhi asked: "Then, why don't you stay a few more days?" They laughed, "We are ordinary people, and we like fireworks in the world." Seeing the new fashion, eyes light up. They fancy fashionable backpacks, but the price also makes them speechless. Ru Xin saw that they were reluctant to part with their backpacks in their hands, so she said, "Buy them one by one." The two of them were relieved, "Yes, I almost forgot that my sister is rich now." Xu Zhongzhi let out a sigh of relief, "This is my salary for one month." Ru Xin smiled and said, "I only buy it once a year, so it doesn't matter." "And you," Xiao Xu asked, "why don't you want it?" Ru Xin shook her head, "I'm not suitable for using these things." Xiao Xu seemed to let go of a big stone in his heart, and looked at Ru Xin's gaze even more appreciatively. Ru Xin and Xiao Xu sat on the bench in the shopping mall and waited for the two girls to choose clothes. Ru Xin asked cautiously: "Last night, did you dream of anyone?" "I don't know who you mean?" "Have you ever met Li Zizhong and Miao Hong?" Xu Zhongzhi said in surprise: "Ru Xin, they are no longer in this world." "I know that too." "Then why do you still say that?" "Did they ever dream?" "Never, and even in my dreams, I wouldn't know them. I've never met Li Zizhong." If you don't say a word. "You are in a trance, thinking about it every day, dreaming at night, Ruxin, I am worried about your condition." Ru Xin remained silent. Xu Zhongzhi spread his hands, "Did you really dream of Li Zizhong?" Ru Xin nodded, "He said, we will know the truth soon." Xiao Xu looked up, "They came out." The two younger sisters were carrying big and small bags, which was very exaggerated. "Sister, let's eat Japanese food." Ru Xin followed them and asked Xu Zhongzhi, "Who will tell us the truth?" Before Xiao Xu could answer, the two younger sisters wrapped Ru Xin's arms each, "Sister, you are so kind to us." Xiao Xu doesn't say anything, it's easy to be a good person, as long as you give money and time unconditionally, you will naturally become the best person in the hearts of relatives and friends. That night, Ru Xin was chatting with her younger sister, when Xu Zhongzhi called, "Ru Xin, I'll be back in ten minutes." The eldest sister was comparing the clothes she bought one by one, circling in front of the mirror, Ru Xin left them, and ran downstairs to wait for Xu Zhongzhi. There must be something urgent. After a while, Xiao Xu's car drove up to the door. Ru Xin opened the car door and sat beside Xu Zhongzhi. Xiao Xu said, "Ru Xin, I received a call thirty minutes ago." Ru Xin looked at him, waiting for him to tell the details. At that time, the phone rang, and Xiao Xu put down the newspaper to answer it. A female voice asked on the other side: "Who wants to contact the old employees on Yilushen Island?" Xiao Xu quickly replied: "It's Miss Zhou Ruxin, a friend of Mr. Li Zizhong, and Miss Zhou is the owner of the island at the moment." There was an ah sound. "who are you?" "I am Li Xuzhi, Li Zizhong's niece, and my father, Li Zihua, is his cousin." Xiao Xu was greatly surprised, "Who are you?" The other party was also very surprised to hear his surprised voice, so he asked, "Are you okay?" Xiao Xu calmed down, "Miss Li, where are you?" "I was visiting a friend in Vancouver, and a friend gave me a clipping of a newspaper. They all knew that Yilushen Island used to belong to my uncle, so I called to ask what it was." Xiao Xu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Miss Li, can I come out and meet?" "Yes." Very hearty. "I'll pick you up." "No, we'll meet at the cafeteria of the Prince Hotel in the city center at five o'clock in the afternoon." After hearing this, Ru Xin opened her mouth wide, "Li Zizhong's niece?" "Yes, Ru Xin, we can learn the details of what happened after he left Yilushen Island." Ru Xin was stunned for a while, and then said: "He said it, he said that I will learn the truth soon." "Come on, let's go see Miss Li right away." They arrived at the coffee room earlier than the agreed time, looked around, and waited for Yi Ren to appear. Finally Ruxin said, "Here we come." Xiao Xu asked, "How do you identify it?" "Look." Xiao Xu turned his head and admitted, "It's her." A tall and slender girl appeared outside the door, with a beautiful appearance, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and a light red summer dress. She also seemed to recognize Zhou and Xu at a glance, and approached with a smile to say hello, "I'm Li Xuzhi, and you are the new island owner?" Ru Xin hurriedly said, "Fortunately, fortunately." She sat down and took off her hat, "Li Zizhong is my cousin, my father is his cousin." Ruxin felt that her bright and twinkling eyes were a little bit like Li Zizhong. It was she who asked first, "You really live on that weird island, don't you?" Ru Xin was startled, "Why do you use the word weird to describe it?" Li Xuzhi smiled, "People live in groups, no matter who is lonely, they still have close friends. How can they live alone on the island for many years?" "As far as I know, Li Zizhong has a confidante." Li Xuzhi nodded, "I've heard of it too." "Miss Li, I really want to know about the past on Yilushen Island." "I hope I can help you, but unfortunately I also heard from my parents intermittently talking about this uncle. They said that he was a man of talent and courage, but he was out of love, never married, and lived in seclusion for the rest of his life. people." "When was the last time you saw him?" "Beside his sick bed, he has a total of twenty-three nephews and nieces, all of whom received gifts from him. He is very generous." Ru Xin couldn't stop nodding. "We are all glad we didn't get that island, otherwise we would have hesitated, selling it would be disrespectful, and keeping it would be useless." She laughed. The idea is exactly the same as Ruxin's two younger sisters. Ru Xin said, "You haven't seen Li Zizhong's confidante, have you?" The age was wrong. When Miao Hong passed away, Li Xuzhi was not yet born. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, Li Xuzhi smiled, "I've seen her before, her name is Miao Hong, isn't she?" Xu Zhongzhi was amazed and couldn't help asking: "How did you meet her?" "We all live in Singapore. My uncle once asked my father to take care of Ms. Miao. Ms. Miao's daughter, Cui Bishan, is my classmate at SMU. I major in business and she majors in architecture." Zhou Ruxin opened her mouth wide. "Miss Zhou, why are you surprised?" Ru Xin stammered, "I... thought Ms. Miao died young." "Ms. Miao passed away seven years ago. According to today's standards, she is not yet sixty, which is not considered a long life." "But she got married and had kids in time." "Of course, Cui Bishan is the same age as me." Ru Xin let out a sigh of relief, feeling very lost, ah, there is such a big gap between reality and imagination. They lived together for so long after breaking up. Ru Xin felt sad instead. Seeing this situation in Li Xuzhi's eyes, he was very surprised, "Miss Zhou, do you have a special relationship with my uncle?" "No, you may not believe it, but I only met Mr. Li twice." "It's not unusual, he always does the unexpected." Xu Zhongzhi let go of a big stone in his heart, "But Mr. Li has a very good heart." Li Xuzhi nodded, "That's right." Ru Xin asked, "Where does Ms. Cui Bishan live now?" "Bishan has graduated and is working in Xingport." "I really want to connect with her." Li Xuzhi smiled, "Miss Zhou, don't mention the past." Ru Xin felt sad. Yes, we should forget everything and work hard for the future, not to mention the past, even if it is a personal matter, it is better to forget it as soon as possible, and not to look back or look back, but Ru Xin just can't do it. Li Xuzhi is very smart, seeing Ruxin so sympathetic and knowing that she is a soft-tempered person, she said softly: "I want to ask Bishan for permission first before I arrange to introduce you." Ru Xin said: "Thank you." For some reason, her voice choked up. Xu Zhongzhi asked Li Xuzhi: "Do you want to go to the island to see?" Li Xuzhi waved his hand, "I don't want it, you're welcome, I'm the kind of standard urbanite who always chooses Robson Street to live in an apartment, and I'm not interested in desert islands." Ru Xin was drawn to laugh by her lively appearance, "But that's not a desert island." Li Xuzhi put on a grimace, "There is also a literary and artistic name called Yi Lushen. I have always been baffled by this. I think life is very fulfilling. If you sow melons, you will reap melons, if you sow beans, you will reap beans, and if you sow bitter melons, you will reap bitter melons." Ru Xin didn't know what to say. "Uncle must have a very good impression of Miss Zhou, otherwise he wouldn't have left his beloved to you." Ru Xin coughed at this time, "Miss Li, do you understand Chinese?" Li Xuzhi replied: "I know how to read and write, but the level is not high." Ru Xin said: "This stack of manuscripts is written by me, please have a look." Li Xuzhi was amazed, "Are you a writer?" "No, I'm just trying to write the story of Li Zizhong and Miao Hong." "But you've only met him twice!" She remembered how the literati said so much. "So I'd like you to fill in the details." "Okay," Li Xuzhi said, "I will read it right away." "How long will you be staying in Wenbu?" "Leave next Wednesday." "I wish you'd come to the island for a day or two." Li Xuzhi regarded it as timid, just smiled and refused to agree. Ru Xin had no choice but to give up. She still went back to her sister's apartment. It was very silent all the way, not saying a word. Xu Zhongzhi smiled and said, "Your guess is wrong." Yes, there have been no murders on the island. "You guess that Miao Hong died on the island because of that box?" "Yes, there are clearly her ashes in the box." "Now it seems that it may not be her ashes." "Witnesses have indicated that it is indeed her Eternal Ring." "Then the ashes were burned and then moved to the island." Ru Xin nodded, "It depends." The two younger sisters are happily going to Grand Lake Island to eat seafood. Ru Xin doesn't like tourist areas the most and is willing to stay at home. Xu Zhongzhi is the most frank, "I will only go when your sister goes, and I will not go if my sister does not." The two sisters were in an uproar. Xiao Xu smiled, "Hey, if you can't even do this, do you still deserve to be someone's partner?" The two younger sisters winked again with an ah. At this time, Ruxin began to appreciate the excitement of family reunion. Just then, the phone rang. As soon as Xu Zhongzhi heard it, he called out: "Ru Xin, come quickly, it's Li Xuzhi." Li Xuzhi cut straight to the point and said, "Ru Xin, I have read your work and it is very well written, but the real ending is not like that." "I know now too." "The result was that they broke up peacefully. Miao Hong returned to Singapore to get married and have children. She lives very well and lives in an apartment on Orchard Road. Her husband loves her very much. He is a famous lawyer." Say yes. "You write more pessimistically." "A love story should end in despair, right?" "No, I like happy endings." "But Li Zizhong and Miao Hong didn't get married in the end." Li Xuzhi is more sophisticated, "How many couples can have a beginning and an end? This is life. I think their ending is good. There are a few cases that are simply unsightly." "tell me the story." "Do you want to come out and talk?" "Now?" "I'll introduce you to someone." Wondering, "Who?" "Cui Bishan." "Is she in Wenbu at the moment?" Ru Xin was filled with surprises. "I'm staying at her house, and she would like to meet you." Wow, they are all here! "We'll be waiting for you at home. Come to Floor A, 15th Floor, 1031 West Georgia Street." Ru Xin hung up the phone and wanted to go out immediately. My sister said: "Well, you guys go to visit friends, and we go to eat Alaska King Crab." The four go out together. Ruxin was extremely nervous along the way, and it seemed that the ending of the novel needed to be rewritten, but after meeting Cui Bishan, she would definitely be able to obtain the most authentic information. When he reached the door, Xiao Xu said softly, "This is a luxurious residence overlooking the whole city." As soon as the bell was rung, someone came out and opened the door. Li Xuzhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is here, and the fluffy plants will add brilliance." Her Chinese background is much better than she modestly claims. Someone came out from the other corner of the spacious living room. As soon as Ru Xin raised her head, she froze. This is not Miao Hong, who else?Exactly like the girl she had dreamed about!Oval face, big eyes, long hair tied back, wearing a sarong. She approached, smiled at Ru Xin, Ru Xin was sure it was her, and blurted out: "Miao Hong!" The girl reached out and shook hands, "Have you seen my mother?" Ru Xin knew she was losing her composure, but she still stared at Cui Bishan intently, like, her appearance was carved out like a mold, but her expression was different, Cui Bishan was lively and very hearty. Everyone sat down, Li Xuzhi poured out drinks, and opened the curtains, the lights of the city center came into view, Ru Xin secretly sighed, almost half a century has passed, things have changed. Cui Bishan spoke first, "I heard from Xu Zhi that you are interested in my mother's affairs?" "yes." "Why? She's just an ordinary wife, an ordinary mother." Ru Xin cleared her throat, "But her relationship with Li Zizhong—" Cui Bishan laughed, "People always have friends of the opposite sex." "Yes—" Ru Xin was very disappointed. Cui Bishan smiled even more, "You want her to marry Li Zizhong." Ru Xin nodded vigorously. Li Xuzhi also laughed, "Why? My uncle has a withdrawn personality and is difficult to get along with. Being his lifelong partner may not necessarily lead to happiness." Cui Bishan added: "My parents respect each other like guests, I think they are a good couple." Ruxin bowed his head and said yes. Cui Bishan kept looking at her with a smile. Ru Xin said, "I didn't expect the two of you to keep in touch." Li Xuzhi and Cui Bishan looked at each other and smiled, "Maybe it's because of the small size of Singapore, and it's more likely because we can get along." Ru Xin asked, "Do you have any photos?" Cui Bishan stood up, went to the bedroom for a while, and took out a silver mirror frame. Ruxin took it and looked at it. In the photo, the mother and daughter are like sisters, hugging their shoulders tightly. "Is there a dream for you?" Cui Bishan shook her head lightly, "No." It seems that she also likes to be lively, and has less time for peace of mind and solitude, so it is difficult for her to dream. Cui Bishan said, "I heard that you inherited Yilushen Island." "The island is yours to own." Cui Bishan was shocked, "I don't dare to be the master of the island," she said with a smile, "Zhou Ruxin is gentle and quiet, so you are worthy of being the master of the island." Ru Xin wondered, "Why don't you guys have any good feelings for Yi Lushen Island?" They both said in unison: "Afraid of being lonely!" Ru Xin bowed her head and remained silent. Li Xuzhi said with a smile: "Ru Xin's temperament is not like a modern woman." "So she is the proper heir." "Uncle must have seen that too." Only then did Xu Zhongzhi say, "Ru Xin is indeed relatively quiet." Ru Xin asked, "Is she always happy?" Cui Bishan replied: "Very happy." "Did you mention the past?" "Very few." Li Xuzhi said: "After we broke up, my uncle sent her back to Singapore. The two of them have never had any ill relations. My uncle has always talked about demeanor, which is better than many people." Ru Xin replied: "Yes." She heard that there were very bad examples, like when the man was afraid of the woman's entanglement when breaking up, he hid far away and regarded it as a plague. Thinking of him, but not feeling up to it, ended up being down and out for the woman to see... At this time, Xu Zhongzhi said softly: "It's time for us to leave." Ru Xin also felt that she could no longer get to the bottom of it. "I'll send you off." "You're welcome, I know the way." Still sent downstairs. At this time, Ruxin felt that Cui Bishan was not quite like Miao Hong anymore. Xu Zhongzhi said: "The appearance is like her, and the temperament is like you." "How do you know, you haven't seen Miao Hong before." "You can guess." "The ashes—" "It's hard to ask, hey, how did Lingtang's ashes end up on Yilushen Island? Will your father allow this to happen?" Ruxin is in a dilemma, "So there will always be a gap between people." Xiao Xu suddenly stated, "You and I are sure we can talk about anything." Ru Xin smiled, "Yes, that statement is true." Xiao Xu continued: "We are so lucky." The two added another layer of understanding. Ru Xin said: "It's no wonder that Cui Bishan couldn't speak freely. If I were her, I wouldn't want to reveal to outsiders that my mother never forgot someone." Xu Zhongzhi said: "Perhaps, she has forgotten him." "No!" Ru Xin said firmly, "You will never forget people like Li Zizhong." Xu Zhongzhi didn't want to argue with her. Can't forget?Many people who had to save themselves left the more unforgettable people and things behind them and buried them in the ground. Xu Zhongzhi never believed that people should indulge in the past and sink together with the past. But he will not argue with Zhou Ruxin. "I'll take you home." Back at the apartment, the two younger sisters hadn't come back yet, so Ru Xin found a pen and paper and started writing immediately. Which day should I go back to? Yes, it was the day when she became ill. She suddenly woke up, a bit like returning to the light, and said to Li Zizhong peacefully: "Let's break up, if this continues, why bother to drag each other to death!" Li Zizhong knew that she would pass away soon, his heart was pierced like a knife, and he said softly: "Everything is as you wish." "I want to leave this island." "Your condition is inappropriate to move." "In the future, if you live on the island, you won't have the shadow of my death. Let me go to the hospital. It's a place where no one will be hurt." "But you have been reluctant to go there." She took his hand. "But now is the time." "I'm going to call an ambulance helicopter." She let out a breath and closed her eyes. He was shocked, thinking that she had passed away. But no, she still has breath. Li Zizhong informed the medical staff as she wanted. When the emergency personnel came to the island, they saw the situation and said: "Sir, you should send the patient to the hospital as soon as possible. She is in a very dangerous condition. You have to take some responsibility." Li Zizhong said nothing. He is always by the patient's side. But she passed the critical period, returned to the world, and gradually recovered in the hospital. He was with her all the time. She said, "Now I really believe that you are a good person." He didn't speak, he just smiled. "What would you do if I said I still wanted to leave?" Li Zizhong replied: "I promised you, you can go." She was very moved, "You just think that I have died of illness on the island." Li Zizhong shook his head, "I will take a better attitude and let us maintain our friendship." She smiled sadly, "After so much, can we still be friends?" Li Zizhong held her hand, "I believe it is possible, tell me, where are you going?" "go home." Li Zizhong nodded, "I know you've been homesick." She eagerly said: "Go to the grave and visit relatives." "I sent someone to take care of you. My cousin is a reliable person." "No, let me do it myself, let me try not to live under your arrangements." "Aren't you afraid of suffering?" "Zizhong, maybe you don't want to believe it, these past few years, even though I have poor food and clothing, I'm still suffering." "Sorry, I don't know how to love you, I didn't do it well." "No, I don't know how to accept your love, it's my fault." On the eve of breaking up, they cleared up their misunderstanding. He sent her home. Seeing his parents, the old man's expression turned pale. He had already heard the news that he and the native girl had finally broken up. "You stay." "No," he said wearily, "I'm going back to London, I like it better." The old man taunted him, "Fortunately, I didn't go back to that desert island to die." "That's not a desert island." "No matter what you think, I won't force you to inherit the ancestral property in the future, and you'd better not let someone surnamed Li inherit that island." Li Zizhong smiled, "Don't worry, I can promise you that the two things you are worried about will not happen." The misunderstanding between him and his parents deepened. He has remained in the West to live and has not looked back.
