[Lou Li the Pretender] Orphan Note

Ming Jing's reaction was very calm, as if Yu Manli just fell ill and was fine when she came back, and avoided many doubts during the meal, but Mingtai watched the whole family eating in silence, full of doubts. Asked everywhere, seeing Minglou's expression, he was even more afraid to ask.

After dinner, when everyone was doing their own activities, Minglou went to the study room first, thinking of making a phone call with Bu Fangji, the president of St. John's University, to talk about his plan to accept the "special invitation" and just sat down in the cushioned chair , the door was pushed open quietly, and a figure timidly moved in. It was Yu Manli who was helping to clear the table just now.

Minglou was taken aback, seeing that she was still holding a plate, he coughed, "It's okay, just let the servants do the work of serving tea and water."

Yu Manli put down the tea and hesitated, "Mr. Ming, I..."

Mr. Ming?

Ming Lou frowned slightly, but Yu Manli didn't realize it, "I think, although we are husband and wife, I still...haven't remembered what happened between us, so..."

Of course Minglou knew what she meant, was she trying to escape?Where are you going?

He smiled slightly, "Do you want to remember?"

Yu Manli nodded.

Minglou clasped his hands under his chin, his eyes sparkled, "I can help you remember, or you can remember it yourself. If you want the latter, I will go to the guest room to sleep today."

When he said this, he was still smiling and calm, but Yu Manli felt that she couldn't breathe for no reason. Could there be some deep meaning behind that smile?Or do you care too much?

She shook her head, "I...that's not what I meant."

Minglou smiled deeper, "I don't need to go to the study, that's what you mean, right?"

Yu Manli froze, bit her lip, and looked down at the floor, "...nor..."

Minglou suddenly sighed, "Manli, come here."

Yu Manli walked over, Minglou sat in a chair, raised her head to look at her, held her warm hand, and pulled her closer, "Many things can't bear to go through all over again, whether it's for you or me, We can all just look ahead, right?"

Yu Manli lowered her head, "Facing a person who has lost all memory, but I remember everything, won't Mr. Ming feel uncomfortable?"

Ming Lou paused, stood up, "Follow me."

He took her to the piano in the living room, and then Minglou sat down, raised his hand lightly, and slowly lowered it. A soft melody rang out in Yu Manli's ear——the dim light of the desk lamp hit Minglou. With a broad side face, everything seemed familiar.

Yu Manli watched quietly until the end of the song, when Minglou put her hands on her knees again.

Minglou turned to look at her, "The name of this song is "Water Demon". Water demons are sirens, sea witches from the west. They have the most beautiful singing voices in the world. They use their songs to lure passing sailors, and wait for them to drown in the sea. kill it."

Yu Manli frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful almond eyes.

Minglou stared at her, his gaze gradually deepened, "The more beautiful things in the world, the more poisonous they are. That's why many sailors would use cotton to plug their ears when they were in distress, so as to keep them safe."

"It sounds good..." Yu Manli said after a while.

"Want to learn?" Minglou asked.

"…I"

Minglou nodded and beckoned her to sit over. Yu Manli walked over obediently, and Minglou put his hands on hers and whispered in her ear, "The first sentence, start with this key..."

The warm air flow slowly poured into the fragile eardrum, making a moist buzzing sound, like a little bubble bulging in the heart, and "plop" disappeared with the sudden appearance of the note, and then reappeared... this feeling Not unfamiliar.

Yu Manli was startled... Are they really husband and wife?She seemed to be able to play, and she did not reject his approach.

However, will the husband teach his wife to play the piano so patiently?Yu Manli was thinking with some confusion, but her fingers moved nimbly over the keys as if she had self-awareness, as if her body's memory was stronger than her brain's... Could she have really forgotten many important things? things, including the husband in front of him who seemed to love his wife very much?

When Yu Manli thought of this, her body stopped suddenly, and her hand braked, but Minglou gently held her hand, "You play well, much better than before, whether it's strength or emotion..."

His hand pinched her fingers lightly, as if the thin scorching heat permeated the cold finger joints and spread deep into her body, Yu Manli felt inexplicably nervous, and at the same time felt an indescribable... happy.

Have you been praised?she thinks.

Minglou looked at her side face, and there was a fleeting smile between the beautiful lips and teeth, like an invitation like a siren singing, a silent invitation——he had no time to think, so he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her. But the other hand was still pressing her hand on the keys. Due to the sudden increase in force, the piano gave out a dull sound—but it covered up a soft whisper from Yu Manli— -

The sudden kiss, even the smell rushed into the dizzy mind clearly, and the already chaotic thoughts became even more blank——she lost her strength in his arms, and suddenly wondered, he really wanted to help herself remember ?

However, Minglou's voice has already rang in his ears, "Look, Manli, I want you to remember all this, not only for you, but for myself..."

Yu Manli said vaguely, "For yourself...for yourself?"

He was close to her, and the voice from ear to temple was low and sweet, and because of the low voice, it seemed more affectionate. Yu Manli could only feel her heart tremble. This person...why does he even breathe so nicely?

"For myself.. If you forget me, there are many things, and I have no reason not to do it anymore."

Yu Manli didn't understand what he meant, but he let her go gently and looked into her eyes again, "So Manli, please remember me, even if you don't remember the past me, remember the present me, promise me this point."

She nodded slowly, "I see."

Minglou smiled, raised his hand and stroked her head, "Good boy."

This feels... like a pet dog?

Yu Manli frowned, "I am 20 years old, how old is Mr. Ming?"

Ming Lou said, "Longer than you."

Yu Manli was puzzled, "Why would I marry you?"

Minglou smiled faintly, but did not answer.

Yu Manli thought for a while, and this question was indeed too broad, so she changed the question, "Do you like me?"

Ming Lou seemed to be choked, and the question was caught off guard, but Yu Manli asked without hesitation. After a short pause, he also smiled, stood up from the piano bench, and patted her head again, " It’s wrong to always refuse to use your own brain.”

Yu Manli frowned and stared at his leaving back. With this attitude...she was not his student.

Yu Manli was speechless, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of the white cheongsam walking in from the living room, her eyes lit up immediately, "Miss Cheng?"

Cheng Jinyun heard the sound of the piano coming from the living room just now, so he didn't approach it wisely. He wanted to check the situation in the outer hall, but he was discovered by Yu Manli so soon, so he had to go out, "Miss Yu, you call me Jinyun. Well, anyway, we usually...we are called sisters."

Yu Manli smiled shyly, "That's right, look at my brain, you are my younger sibling, so should I call you Sister Jinyun?"

Cheng Jinyun smiled, "In terms of age, I'm four years older than you, so just leave out the word sister, Manli."

Yu Manli nodded, and suddenly listened to her, "Mr. Ming taught me to play the piano just now, and he also said that I was his wife in the hospital. I always felt that something was wrong. He was still working as a teaching assistant in the university a few days ago. How about becoming Mingtai's sister-in-law?"

Cheng Jinyun was startled, but Yu Manli said to herself, "And there is a 12-year age difference between me and him? But doesn't Mr. Ming seem to prefer mature and glamorous women?"

The way she muttered was very defenseless, as if she had lost her mind, washing her memory, does this memory also include the painful part?

Cheng Jinyun thought to himself, maybe it's a good thing for Manli?In this way, only a few members of the Ming family knew about her abortion, so she didn't have to feel sad, but the elder sister... the elder sister didn't lose her memory, but she didn't suffer as much as she imagined, which is a bit strange.

Yu Manli noticed that she was in a daze, and lightly patted her on the shoulder, "Jin Yun, I want to visit St. John's University. I should...haven't been expelled yet?"

She asked cautiously, looking very worried about being fired, Cheng Jinyun smiled helplessly, "No, there is a big brother here."

As soon as Yu Manli thought of that person, her face suddenly became hot again, she hurriedly looked away and said, "Don't call a car, let's walk over, it will be troublesome if that person follows."

"Oh, what's the trouble?"

An interesting tone came, and the two looked up, but it was Mingtai who came in wearing a suit for going out, holding two books in his hands.

"I'm going to the library of the University of Joyo University for self-study, which one of you just said that I'm going?" Mingtai smiled.

Cheng Jinyun came to his senses and glanced at Yu Manli, "Why don't you go with Mingtai? Just to urge him to study."

Yu Manli said with a smile, "It doesn't make sense. You, a sweet wife like you, are left to stay at home, and you make me do odd jobs? I'd better go shopping by myself."

Cheng Jinyun shook his head, "I still have some things to help Elder Sister, Man Li, really, just take it as a favor for me."

Mingtai felt a little aggrieved, "Look at your tone, it seems like I'm a trouble, why do you push around?"

Yu Manli laughed out loud, "Alright, alright, young master, go and drive, I'll come right over."
