Chapter 181 A sudden... kiss
"Then come back after the results are announced." Su Luo stretched her back and said to Zhou Si, "Let's go see my mother first. She keeps talking about you. I have to go out for a while. Qin Huai's shop will open soon. I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help."
Zhou Chongwen said hurriedly: "After paying a visit to Aunt Su, I will go to help."
Su Luo smiled and waved her hand, "How can you help? Buying things or keeping accounts?"
Thinking back to when Zhou Chongwen was helping to manage the KTV, he caused a lot of trouble for Su Luo.
Zhou Chongwen blushed, "Why don't I help write the couplet?"
"Yeah, yeah." Su Luo nodded quickly, "You are the best at this. You can also write some items about rewards and discounts. They will be useful when you open the business."
Although Zeng Xinrou seemed to disagree with a gentleman who was about to become a Jinshi doing such a thing, she was kind enough not to say anything, because Zhou Chongwen seemed very excited and even seemed to be eager to try.
Zhou Chongwen went to the back hall to visit Su, and Su Luo was about to go out. Before leaving, he smiled at Zeng Xinrou and said, "Actually, you are not bad. You don't despise him for having nothing."
Zeng Xinrou said openly without any hesitation , "When I look at people, I always focus on their character."
Su Luo now truly believes the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. First there was Su Jiang, and then there was Zeng Xinrou, neither of them were ordinary warriors.
Su Luo didn't say much to Zeng Xinrou. She was in a hurry to help Qin Huai. The store was almost ready, and everything was according to Qin's old standards. The food had also been arranged in place, and they only had to wait for it to be shipped to Beijing so that they could arrange for the opening.
During this period of time, Wan Yangui remained silent, but Su Luo believed that this was just the calm before the storm. He told Qin Huai about it, but Qin Huai just smiled and said, "We can't control his behavior, and we don't know what he wants to do. Let's wait until he does it before thinking of a solution."
In fact, Qin Huai also went to find Wan Yangui, but Wan Yangui did not show up and seemed determined not to negotiate with Qin Huai, so Qin Huai had no choice but to stand his ground.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. No one knew what Li Rusong was busy with during this period. He was often nowhere to be seen. When he occasionally appeared, he looked listless, as if he had not slept for several days.
It was hard for Su Luo not to be concerned about this situation. When Li Rusong appeared in front of Su Luo again yawning a few days later, an interrogation began.
Su Luo was already prepared for a confession, because when Li Rusong became mysterious he usually didn't want to say something. For this reason, Su Luo specially prepared chili water and bamboo sticks in case of emergency.
Perhaps Li Rusong smelled the chili water, and he confessed without waiting for Su Luo to show his magic weapon, which made Su Luo feel very unsuccessful.
It turned out that he had been running between the capital and Luoyang during this period, keeping a close eye on the military academy, fearing any emergency need.
Su Luo looked at him with some distress as he yawned while talking, and blamed him, "Then don't come back, just stay in Luoyang, you don't know what to do with all this trouble."
Li Rusong almost jumped up, "Don't you know what I'm going to do? If I leave for a month without showing up, maybe when I come back you'll invite me to your wedding."
Su Luo rolled her eyes at him, "So what have you gained now? All you can do is yawn! You have to rush back to the capital city within a day, and you can't even monitor the enemy."
"At least I can see you." Li Rusong stood up and walked towards Su Luo's bed. "I'm not going back. I'll borrow your bed to lie down for a while. I have to leave at night."
Su Luo complained while getting a quilt from the cupboard and spreading it on the bed. Li Rusong looked at Su Luo's actions and suddenly smiled lightly. He hugged her from behind and buried his face in her neck.
Su Luo's body stiffened, but Li Rusong did not let go. He just held her and smelled the fragrance of her hair. "It would be great if you could make my bed like this for the rest of my life."
Su Luo struggled twice with a red face, but Li Rusong's arms became tighter and tighter. Su Luo simply gave up and lowered her head and said, "I will decide as soon as possible."
As for as soon as possible, Su Luo knew it couldn't be done quickly. Unless she closed her eyes and pointed at one at random, she would never be able to decide which one to abandon.
"No hurry, no hurry." Li Rusong closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the present moment. After a long time, he asked softly: "Do you think... history can be changed?"
Su Luo nodded without hesitation, "Of course, everything depends on human efforts."
Li Rusong was silent for a while, then slowly said, "For a while, I was almost obsessed with changing everything . But in the end, I may have changed the process, but I couldn't change the outcome."
"It will definitely change!" Su Luo knew what Li Rusong was afraid of. It was a knot in his heart that he could not untie. Su Luo turned around hastily and looked into Li Rusong's eyes. "A military academy like yours could not have existed in history, but it does exist now. Regardless of whether it can continue to operate, it has changed history as a fact."
Li Rusong's eyes were filled with confusion. "What if changing history causes history to happen earlier? Will the ending change? Or will the ending also come earlier?"
Li Rusong today is very different from usual. He looks almost fragile now. Su Luo doesn't know why he is like this. He just wants to dispel his worries. "If the enemy comes, we will fight him. If the water comes, we will block it. If you want to change the known outcome, you can always change it. If you don't change it, it's because you didn't try your best..."
"I tried my best." Li Rusong interrupted her with some fatigue. "I didn't want to be an official, but I ended up being one. I didn't want to be the general of Shanxi, but I ended up being one. Just like history, I was first the general of Shanxi, and then I was impeached for 'father and son should not be in important positions at the same time'. After being summoned to Beijing, I was reappointed as the general and stationed in Xuanfu."
"What's wrong with you?" Su Luo had never seen Li Rusong like this before, and she felt a little flustered. She raised her hand to touch his forehead, but he caught her halfway. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became more ambiguous.
Su Luo was afraid that something beyond her control would happen if this continued, but she also had some expectations in her heart. Seeing the eagerness in Li Rusong's eyes, Su Luo lowered her head at a loss, but Li Rusong leaned over and gently covered Su Luo's lips with his lips.
