The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 333

There were bodyguards who came up to stop him, but Chu Xing raised his hand slightly. The bodyguards hesitated for a moment, put away their guns, and exited the door.

Poppy's eyes were splashed with tears and she couldn't see clearly, her hand was still firmly pressed on the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed tightly against his forehead.

Chu Xing's Adam's apple twitched, and suddenly he said her name in a gentle voice: "Poppy."

She seemed to have never heard of it, and the way she gritted her teeth could be clearly seen from the outside.Chu Xing looked at her, and said slowly, "Poppy."

Poppy would not listen.

When she was young and refused to listen to others, she had this look now.Stubborn and willful, after making up his mind, he insists on going his own way.

Chu Xing's expression remained unchanged, and he whispered, "Will you kill me for Li Youying?"

Poppy suddenly deflected her gesture, aimed at his shoulder, and squeezed the trigger, with a "bang".

Chu Xing snorted, frowned and covered his shoulders, blood slowly oozing from his fingers.

He closed his eyes for a while, as if sighing a little: "Have you relieved your anger now?"

Poppy looked at him and said nothing.

When he spoke again, his voice was calm and determined: "From now on, I, Su Pu, have nothing to do with the Chu family. If I want to step here again, I will not die."

Chu Xing's eyes shrank violently, Poppy looked at him, and slowly backed away step by step, and smiled slightly in the middle as if he was relieved.

It was an indescribable smile.It seemed to have a soft and charming charm, but it didn't make people feel fascinated, it just made people feel the cold air rushing up from the soles of their feet.

"You and I, Young Master Chu, had better not see each other forever, and we will meet indefinitely."

Three days later, it was Li Youying's funeral.

Poppy and Jiang Mian went to City A.When Jiang Mian stood in front of Li Youying's tombstone and mourned with everyone, Poppy didn't approach, but stood under a poplar tree, watching from a distance.When Jiang Mian came back, she saw her head tilted on the tree trunk, her eyes were slow, her face was blue and gray, and she was dressed in a black funeral dress. Her whole body was as still as stagnant water, with no vitality at all.

Jiang Mian walked over, held her hands, Poppy's eyes moved, and asked hoarsely, "It's over?"

Looking at her, Jiang Mian couldn't bear it.Sighing slightly, he persuaded softly: "A Pu, people cannot be resurrected after death. After you think about it, think about it. This matter must pass, right?"

Poppy said nothing.Jiang Mian asked her again: "Have you not slept in the past two nights? Your face is so pale."

Poppy nodded slightly, and said softly, "I can't sleep."

She understated it, but her spirit could clearly see that she had dried up to the extreme.It seemed that just one more straw would crush her all at once.Jiang Mian didn't know how to persuade her, and she didn't know what she had been thinking in the past three days, so she became like this.After looking at her for a while, he pulled her into his arms wordlessly, hugging her and gently patting her on the back.After a while, Poppy felt a violent movement in her shoulder.She buried herself deeply in Jiang Mian's arms, and finally suppressed a low sob.

On the way back to City C, Poppy lay on Jiang Mian's lap with her eyes closed, not speaking.Jiang Mian patted her on the back. After a while, she felt that her breathing was calm, as if she had fallen asleep.Just as Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief, she noticed that Poppy's whole body trembled and her eyes kept rolling, as if in a dream.

She frowned tightly in her dream, looking extremely uncomfortable.After a while, there was a sudden sob, and he cried out in a crying voice: "Don't force me anymore, okay? I can't stand it anymore. Don't force me anymore, okay?"

Poppy curled up her body, and even the sound of such a suspected collapse was actually thin and weak.Jiang Mian looked at her, and after a while, not only did she not stop, but her whole body began to tremble, she hurriedly shook her awake.

When Poppy opened her eyes, the fear from her dream still remained in her eyes.Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat and she asked, "What did you dream about?"

Poppy's eyes finally became clearer, she lowered her eyelashes, and said, "It's nothing."

Jiang Mian asked again, but Poppy didn't say anything.Jiang Mian couldn't force her, so he sighed again, thought for a while, and asked her again: "Did you also have this kind of nightmare when you slept these few nights?"

Poppy didn't say a word, her expression was only acquiescing.Jiang Mian said, "What kind of nightmare are they all?"

Poppy shook her head, but still did not speak.Jiang Mian put on a persuasive tone: "Let's go see a doctor, shall we?"

Poppy shook her head again, her attitude was very firm.Jiang Mian said again: "Let's go out and have fun together? Where do you want to go?"

These words seemed to touch a nerve somewhere in Poppy, and she was stunned for a long time before slowly leaning her head against the car window.Then he closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, as if he couldn't be more tired.

Seeing that she has been silent, Jiang Mian can only do nothing.

After returning to City C, Poppy became more and more reticent.Every day I just lie on the railing and look at the plants in the small garden in a daze, not knowing what to think.After two days like this, Jiang Mian felt that she could no longer be alone, so she forcibly dragged Poppy to a small banquet.

Poppy didn't resist either, and let Jiang Mian manipulate her.Jiang Mian asked her to change into a small dress, and she did so obediently.It's just that he didn't speak at the banquet, and went to the dining area, took a tray, filled two grapes, didn't eat them, just took a fork and forked them little by little.

After a while, a lady with exquisite make-up came up to her with a fawning look on her face: "Are you Miss Poppy?"

When Poppy was in the Chu family, she carefully recited the names, looks, and biographies of these ladies in C City.But now he was not in the mood to think about who it was, he just glanced at her and didn't speak.The lady seemed to have expected her reaction, and she was not discouraged. She continued to smile and said, "I am Lin Aiyuan from the Qiao family in the west of the city. I heard that among the Chu family, Miss Poppy and Miss Li Zhi are the most favored. Especially you, Young Master Chu treats you..."

Before she finished speaking, Poppy's eyebrows were tightly frowned, looking extremely bored.In decades of her life, Lin Aiyuan has always been pampered and flattered by others. She has never been treated like this before. After receiving a cold glance from Poppy, her words stuck in her throat.

She watched Poppy casually throw away the dinner plate, turned her head and left without any intention of being polite.Lin Aiyuan's face was suddenly embarrassing, and she gritted her teeth bitterly for a while and said, "How capable of being yourself! What a virtue!"

Poppy didn't hear her behind her back, but soon she heard more.Lin Aiyuan gathered in her small circle and found someone to comfort her. They gossiped together not far from Poppy: "Oh, you still went to find her? She's still useless now! Don't you I heard what happened a few days ago, Young Master Chu expelled this poppy from the Chu family."

"That's right. You might as well wait for a chance to find Li Zhi when you go to Poppy. Li Zhi has a much better temper than her, and she is also gentle and beautiful in her actions. She is not like some people who drive people crazy, let alone, at the end I still feel puzzled, and insist on being strangled to death with a rope again. Why do you seek her for such a vicious person who will seek revenge? Are you looking for death?"

"Besides, I heard that since Poppy left the Chu family, the whole Chu family is so clear-eyed. Li Zhi has always been the one who doesn't show off. Now that Poppy has left, everyone rushes to curry favor with her. Young Master Chu has long since Some people who are not pleasing to the eye have forgotten about it, and some people still think that they are when they were in the Chu family, and they think they are self-righteous, cut."

Poppy heard all this in her ears, and there was no reaction on her face.Suddenly someone nearby coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Miss Poppy."

Poppy heard it, but she didn't turn her head and didn't speak.Lu Ming explained from the side: "Don't listen to these women's nonsense. They are all making up, and none of them are accurate. Anyone who is in a hurry to curry favor with Lizhi is stupid..."

He babbled for a while, and when he raised his head, he found that Poppy didn't listen to a word.When I looked at her face again, I opened my mouth wide: "You..."

Poppy's eyebrows are still the same, but her whole person is different from a few days ago.Even when Poppy was in shock and despair that day in the dilapidated warehouse, it was still vivid.Now at a glance, it is completely devoid of vitality, like a completely withered crabapple, exuding a gloomy gray aura.

Lu Ming was fixed there, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Poppy finally turned her head slowly and glanced at him, her eyes were full of impatience, "Is it you or me?"

"...I'll go. I'll go now."

Lu Ming backed away while talking, not daring to look at her again.

Lu Ming didn't know how to describe his mood at that moment.

He went to see Chu Xing a few days ago, and the doctor had just finished changing the medicine for the gunshot wound on his shoulder and left.Chu Xing was talking on the phone at the time, and Lu Ming thought it was some official business, but when he got closer, he realized that it was actually with Jiang Mian.

What Chu Xing mentioned on the phone at that time was all about poppy: "Is she in a good mood these two days... She likes to drink fish porridge, but doesn't like to eat boiled eggs, especially the yolk of boiled eggs. Don’t eat, fried eggs are better…”

Xu Xu's words were all Poppy's usual little habits.The middle also includes such trivial things as liking to use a spoon when eating rice and not being used to using chopsticks.There are some words that Chu Xing even took the trouble to say twice.Jiang Mian over there listened one by one, and said something later, Chu Xing heard it, was silent for a moment, and then said: "She won't want to see me. Don't tell her that I called."

Lu Ming listened quietly from the side all the time, bowing his head in silence.Chu Xing hung up the phone, as if nothing happened just now, saw him, and said, "What's the matter?"

Lu Ming seemed hesitant to speak, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "...Master, you knew you would get to this point, why did you have to kill Li Youying?"

Chu Xing took the document in his hand and did not answer.Waiting for Lu Ming to leave with the document in his hand, Chu Xing suddenly said irrelevantly: "It's like I just found out today that Ah Liang was not killed by Poppy."

Lu Ming raised his head, but Chu Xing was not looking at him.He was slowly stroking the gunshot wound on his shoulder through the gauze.His strength was not small, but he seemed to feel no pain at all.After a while, she said flatly again: "Poppy seldom cried since she was a child. I have forgotten, but that doesn't mean she doesn't feel pain."
