Many of the people who came to wish Mr.
Feng on his birthday tonight had special status, so there were strict guards around the villa.
Anyone, even if they are familiar with each other, can only be turned away if they don't hold a post in their hand.
Meng Lanting walked through a deserted side corridor and came to the courtyard in front.
Xi Songzhou stood outside the gate, and the car stopped on the roadside dozens of meters away.
She spoke to an officer in charge of the door, walked out, and called out.
Xi Songzhou, who was tired and dusty, looked as if he had just come back from a long trip.
When he saw her appearance, his eyes were filled with joy.
He came up to meet her and led Meng Lanting to a far corner nearby and stopped.
"Songzhou, do you have a problem with me?"
Meng Lanting asked.
Xi Songzhou held a bag in his hand.
He opened it, took out the contents, and handed it over: "It's for you."
Meng Lanting took it and took a look through the light at the door.
An ordinary glass bottle, filled with what looks like dirt.
She was a little confused and looked up at him.
"Lanting, after I learned about the death of your brother, I have always wanted to do something for you.
I went to the north a few days ago and asked people I knew to help me find places where your brother had fought in the pass area. , took this bottle of soil and brought it out."
"I just came back in the evening.
I knew you were here, so I brought it over.
The pass is now a restricted area, and we can't enter to pay homage to the hero's soul.
But in this bottle of soil, there may be the blood your brother shed for it.
I brought it Come here to give it to you as a souvenir.”
"I believe that one day we will take back that land.
When that time comes, I will accompany you to go there in person."
Xi Songzhou stared at her, his tone slightly excited.
Meng Lanting was stunned.
He held the bottle and gently stroked the handful of soil inside with his fingers through the glass.
His eyes slowly became moist.
“Thank you” Her voice was choked, she tilted her head, and when her emotions calmed down a bit, she held the bottle tightly.
"Thank you Songzhou.
You are so thoughtful.
This gift is extremely precious to me and I will keep it well."
Xi Songzhou slowly exhaled.
"As long as it's useful.
I'm very willing to do my best for you."
Meng Lanting thanked him again.
Xi Songzhou was about to speak but stopped.
Meng Lanting carefully held the bottle tightly and said, "Are you okay?"
Xi Songzhou hesitated.
"Lanting, I won't hide it from you.
I do have something else.
I knew before that Kezhi was pursuing you."
"If you can, you can't tell me whether you have any plans to be with him."
Meng Lanting's heart skipped a beat.

"I know it's presumptuous to ask."
Xi Songzhou explained immediately.
"If I offended you, I hope you can forgive me.
I know I shouldn't have said these words, and I'm not qualified, but after thinking about it again and again, I decided to say it."
"Lanting, if you are also moved by Kezhi and are willing to spend the rest of your life with him, then I wish you the best.
The Feng family is also very good.
From now on, you have your own family, and I am happy for you."
"But," he glanced at the brightly lit villa behind her and emphasized his tone.
"I know that you seemed to have some unpleasant experiences with Ke Zhi before, and the Feng family is very good to you, and they should have expectations.
If you don't like Ke Zhi that much, it's just because of various reasons that should not be imposed on you.
The external pressure on you makes it inconvenient for you to say no.
Trust me, I can make it clear to them on your behalf."
His mood seemed to be gradually getting a little excited.
"Lanting, I know now is not a good time to woo you again.
Although I long for you to choose to spend the rest of your precious life with me, besides me, you can have other choices in the future.
And Ke However, I think he is not suitable for you."
"Lanting, you have enough talent and talent.
Studying abroad is your best choice now.
Only when you are mature enough will you know what kind of life you want and what kind of partner you want.
Let’s live together.”
He paused and said with an emphasis: "He can't give you everything you need."
These days, the buzz in the newspapers, the word-of-mouth spread of the news, and tonight, the faint noise and laughter coming from the brightly lit house not far away, all make Xi Songzhou, who has always been gentle and reserved, seem to feel something.
A very different atmosphere from usual.
He knew he shouldn't say this to Meng Lanting.
But this is indeed what he thinks.
So he said it anyway.
The girl he loved and cherished before him could not choose himself.
But Xi Songzhou also didn't want to see that in the future, she would suffer almost foreseeable harm because of her wrong choices.
Meng Lanting was surprised by Xi Songzhou's frankness and straightforwardness.
I was also touched by his kindness towards me.
She knew that everything he said was out of good intentions.
"Songzhou, I know you have good words."
"I will handle the matter myself."
"Thank you again for fetching this bottle of soil for me."
Xi Songzhou stared at her for a moment, smiled and nodded.
"Lanting, your talent in mathematics should be largely attributed to your extraordinary logic and reason.
You are the smartest girl I have ever seen, bar none.
I believe you will do this well."
Life is chosen.”
Xi Songzhou stood outside the villa, waiting for Meng Lanting to enter, then turned around and got into his car and drove away.
Feng Kezhi stood in a dark corner nearby, watching Meng Lanting hugging the glass bottle tightly, lowering his head and walking slowly in front of him.
The fingertips of his left hand inserted in his trouser pocket touched a piece of paper.
It was night and he had just received the special pass.
He watched her walk in, and her back gradually disappeared among the flowers and trees in the courtyard.
He turned his head and looked at the two slowly moving car headlights on the road down the mountain in front of him.

He suddenly stepped forward and came from the corner. walked out.
After a moment, the door opened and a car roared into the night.
Xi Songzhou always drove smoothly.
Like tonight, when driving on a road paved in the mountains, I should have been more cautious.
But for some reason, perhaps because his mood was more impetuous than ever, he stepped on the accelerator very hard.
The mountain breeze blew into the car through the half-opened window, and he felt as if blood was surging in his chest.
Suddenly, two new car lights appeared in the lane behind, roaring at extremely fast speeds, and soon they caught up with him.
It should be a guest who left the Nanlu Villa and went down the mountain.
Xi Songzhou then drove the car closer to the mountain wall, making way for the car behind him to pass first.
The car behind him came up, like an arrow off the string, and passed by his car window with a swish, leaving him quickly behind.
Xi Songzhou didn't like Lai Ren's driving style, but he had to admit that on such a mountain road that could only accommodate two cars passing side by side, the other party was on the outer road, next to the cliff, and it was dark, so the sight was limited.
The tires may be barely even with the roadbed, but if you don't control them properly, you may have an accident.
Courage and driving skills are indispensable.
Apparently there is no shortage of both for those who drive.
He subconsciously glanced at the rear of the car that had overtaken him.
Before he could see the license plate clearly, almost in the blink of an eye, the car in front had left him dozens of meters behind and drove to a wider road.
On the side of the road, without warning, the direction of the car swung, and with a crunch, it lay across the road, blocking his way.
Xi Songzhou was startled and slammed on the brakes.
The tire was tightly held by the iron piece, and finally stopped with a harsh friction sound as it slid forward on the ground.
At this moment, the front of the car was only one tire away from the body of the car in front of it lying across the road.
No matter how well-educated Xi Songzhou was, he couldn't help but feel angry when he encountered such an obviously provocative move.
Just as he was about to park the car, he saw the door of the car in front of him being pushed open, and a foot stepped on the ground next to the driver's seat.
In the car, a person got off.
Feng Kezhi.
He stopped between the two cars and looked at Xi Songzhou who had not yet gotten out of the car through the front windshield.
"From now on, stay away from her."
He said it word by word.
The snow-white car headlights shone on his face, his features were sharp and his eyes were cold.
Xi Songzhou looked at him for a moment, got out of the car, slowly made a fist, walked up to him, waved his arm, and punched Feng Kezhi in the face.
When Xi Songzhou was studying abroad, he was also a member of a boxing club.
This punch condensed the immense anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Bang" sound.
His fist hit Feng Kezhi's face hard and hit him.
"Why don't you fight back?
I'll wait for you."
Xi Songzhou still clenched his fists tightly, suddenly raised his voice, and shouted sternly.
He knew that with Feng Kezhi's reaction, it was impossible for him to have no reaction at all to his punch just now.
There was only one reason why he stood like this and allowed himself to be hit by a punch.
That's because he deliberately didn't hide.
Feng Kezhi slowly turned back, still staring at him, his shoulders motionless, and he didn't even blink.
"Xi Songzhou, I'm going to let you hit her this time.
After the beating, stay away from her."
"Listen, she is my Feng Kezhi's woman."
"Next time, if I know that you are still pestering her like this, don't blame me, Feng Kezhi, for denying relatives."
His tone was very calm, but underneath his words, there seemed to be an undercurrent of a storm slowly surging.

Xi Songzhou was startled, then sneered.
"Kezhi, you must have heard the words I just said to Lan Ting.
I might as well tell you that not only did I speak frankly in front of Lan Ting, but even now, in front of you, I can also speak without hesitation.
Said, the person who should not approach Lanting is none other than yourself."
"What kind of girl is Lan Ting?
Do you think she is one of those women you used to come to at a moment's notice, go when you call her, play with her when you're interested, and throw her away when you're tired of her?
Do you think she's one of those women you used to have, either because of your family background or because of her family background?"
I am fascinated by your personal charm and am waiting to marry you Feng Kezhi so that I can become your wife."
"You know how others talk about her behind her back now."
"Do you think she will like what you bring to her?"
"What qualifications do you have to love her?"
Xi Songzhou's tone became excited.
After a pause, he slowly exhaled and his tone finally softened.
"Kezhi, there is something I have wanted to say to you for a long time.
I do not deny that she may have had an attraction to you.
This attraction may be very strong now.
But for you, it will not be In the long run, you are not suitable for her, and she is not suitable for you.
And if she doesn't love you, don't you feel it?
I advise you, if you really love her, then you should respect her thoughts. " "It's not me who should stay away from her in the future, it should be you" The car engine shuddered and roared, emitting a low resonance on the eardrums.
Feng Kezhi was silent for a moment and slowly raised his eyes.
"Xi Songzhou, you are not me, how do you know what I can do for her and to what extent I can achieve it?"
"On what basis do you base your judgment that she doesn't love me?
Did she just say that to you?"
Feng Kezhi stared at Xi Songzhou in front of him.
His lips had just been broken and a trace of blood was slowly oozing out, and he slowly formed a faint smile with a hint of ridicule.
"I, Feng Kezhi, am indeed a bastard.
I admit it.
Don't worry about how long she can attract me.
These are none of your business.
Even if she doesn't love me, she doesn't love you either.
Otherwise, you, a flawless person like her, can't be with her."
As a great professor who shares the same goals, why did you come here specifically to say these things to her tonight?"
"In order to win her favor, I'm afraid I'm willing to kneel down and pray in my heart, but I have to decorate it with a generous face."
"Xi Songzhou, I really didn't know before, but it turns out you also have such a side.
I'm sorry."
Feng Kezhi raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth.
"Meng Lanting is my woman, let me tell you this for the last time.
Remember this next time something like this happens again, I won't be so polite."
He turned around and got into the car, drove backwards, turned around, and drove past Xi Songzhou's car.
Because Mr.
Feng was old, the party at Nanlu Villa did not last very late.
People dispersed one after another before eleven o'clock in the evening.
Feng Lingmei and her sisters were busy seeing off guests.
After finishing their work, those who didn't see their younger brother thought he had gone to see off the male guests and didn't care.
The sisters said goodbye and the ones far away stayed.

The others left and went their separate ways.
Dispersed.
At twelve o'clock, the servants had tidied up the place and had been busy for a whole day.
They were all tired and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The mountain villa that had been busy all night completely restored the tranquility of the night.
After Meng Lanting returned to his room, he looked at the glass bottle for a while, and his eyes were red for a while.
After turning off the lights, he felt confused and couldn't sleep for a long time.
He simply got up again, turned on the lamp, sat at the table, flipped through the book and reviewed again, forcing himself to Focus on the book.
After reading more than ten pages of the book, I finally felt calmer.
It's almost one o'clock in the morning.
She felt a little thirsty and wanted to drink water and go to sleep.
I picked up the cup and found it was empty, so I put on a nightgown and tied it around my waist.
I took the water cup, opened the door and walked out, intending to go to the kitchen downstairs to pour some water.
She walked out of the room without turning on the lights in the corridor.
Taking advantage of the night light filtering in from the row of windows opposite, she walked quietly downstairs.
After taking a few steps, a faint smell of tobacco seemed to float in her breath. .
This smell was not unfamiliar to her.
She turned around and saw a shadowy figure behind her, leaning against the window not far from her door.
In the night, a little red fire flickers on and off, and two eyes shine with a faint dark light in the night, as if they are staring at their own back.
Meng Lanting was startled, and the hair on his back suddenly stood on end.
She responded.
He stopped drinking water and hurriedly turned around and returned to his room.
He entered almost as if he was running away.
Before he could close the door, there were footsteps behind him.
The man threw the cigarette butt into the garden outside the window and followed him.
A hand was inserted and blocked in the crack of the door that was about to close.
With a gentle push, Meng Lanting took a few steps back.
The door was pushed open, Feng Kezhi followed in, and then closed the door gently.
Meng Lanting's heart was pounding.
He lowered his voice and pointed at the door: "Get out.
I'm going to sleep."
Feng Kezhi leaned against the door frame, looking at her with both eyes, motionless.
He doesn't go out.
But not only did Mr.
Feng live under the same roof, several of his sisters staying overnight also slept in rooms on the same floor.
Next door is the eighth sister Feng Lingmei.
It was expected that he would not dare to do anything extraordinary.
Meng Lanting finally calmed down, looked up at him, and found that one corner of his mouth was broken.
Not only was the skin broken, it seemed to be bleeding, and I couldn't help but wonder.
I wanted to ask, but held back.
Feng Kezhi seemed to be aware of what she was thinking and said, "I heard everything Xi Songzhou said to you last night."
Meng Lanting was stunned.
Bingxue was smart, she guessed it immediately and opened her eyes wide: "You actually hit him" There was dissatisfaction in her tone.
Feng Kezhi was silent for a moment and said, "You feel sorry for him, don't you?"
"Feng Kezhi, you are going too far."

Meng Lanting really felt unreasonable and even more disappointed and angry.
"Please go out, I want to rest."
She was afraid of disturbing Feng Lingmei next door, so she tried her best to keep her voice down.
The man opposite him turned a deaf ear and remained motionless.
"Lanting, if I tell you, I didn't touch him at all.
He was the one who beat me like this.
Would you also feel sorry for me?"
He asked slowly, staring at her. gd1806102:
