Zhou Xiaoxiao came to City L alone.

This is a small island city by the sea.

The climate is pleasant and the pace of life is slow.

Zhou Xiaoxiao followed the address left by the eldest princess and found a small western-style building on the edge of a tree-lined path.

This is probably a building left over from the Republic of China period. After modern reinforcement and renovation, it not only reveals a heavy cultural heritage, but also brings a unique low-key luxury.

In the courtyard, the blooming roses are blooming, big and big flowers sticking out from the primitive fence.

This is the former home of the princess.

It's just that the flow of time in the two worlds is so chaotic and different.I don't know what the situation is now.

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked up at the swaying flowers on the wall.

I remembered that in the distant time and space, I saw the princess for the first time, she was sitting quietly in such a courtyard full of roses.

That majesty, even though she has a distinguished status and everything goes well, but she still misses her relatives in her hometown, she must always have such a regret in her heart.

Zhou Xiaoxiao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

An elderly lady with a kind face and silver hair came out to answer the door.

"Are you looking for Xiami people? Fine girl?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. There were obvious similarities between this lady and the princess.

"Hello, mother-in-law, is there a lady named Cheng Qianye here?"

"Don't you, the little girl is not a local." The mother-in-law smiled kindly: "My family is named Cheng, but there is no one by that name. I only have one son named Cheng Qianluo."

At this time, a luxury car passed by them and drove into the courtyard.

The window of the car fell, revealing a male face almost identical to that of Princess Jianguo.

The door of the car opened, a suit and leather shoes, his hair not combed at all, and a rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, a young man with a somewhat successful personality, got out of the car.

He is only in his early thirties and he is still very young.

The mother-in-law introduced: "That is my son."

...

When Zhou Xiaoxiao left, she felt lost.

Neither the address nor the character is wrong.

But no one knew Cheng Qianye.

Was walking in doubt.Suddenly she heard someone calling her behind her.

"please wait for a moment."

She turned around and saw the mother-in-law's son chasing after him.

He came to Zhou Xiaoxiao, helped his glasses, and was silent for a long while.

"Is the person you talking about my twin sister?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Cheng Qianye? Your sister?"

"Finally, someone remembers her like I do." The man seemed to take a breath, "This is not something that can be said clearly in a few words. Can we find a place to sit for a while?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Cheng Qianluo sat opposite each other in a sea-view cafe.

The environment here is very quiet.

From the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can see the vast sea and hear the sound of the waves.

Cheng Qianluo stirred the coffee in the cup and seemed to be plunged into long-term contemplation.

Zhou Xiaoxiao asked tentatively: "Long... No... Chiba is your sister?"

Judging from his age, the eldest princess is enough to be his mother.

"My name is Cheng Qianluo, and I have a twin sister named Cheng Qianye."

Cheng Qianluo sighed and mumbled to himself.

"Liuyeluye. It was my seaman's father who gave us the name."

"My sister and I have been in a good relationship since childhood. She has a very lively personality. She often likes to wear my clothes, imitate my voice, and pretend to be me to make jokes with others. Often no one can see through."

"But one day, Chiba suddenly disappeared."

He inserted his fingers into his hair and scratched his neat hairstyle.

"No, it's not missing. She disappeared, whether it was her parents or friends, suddenly no one remembered her existence."

"There is no trace of her at home, school, work unit. There is nothing of her in the room, and there is no image of her in the photo. It seems that there is no such person in this world."

"She disappeared? Never again?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked.

Cheng Qianluo stretched out his hand and barely took a sip of coffee, suppressing his emotions.

"Sorry, I lost my mind."

He took off his glasses and wiped them.

"Ms. Zhou, where have you seen Chiba?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "Speaking of which you may not believe it. I was also by chance and met her in a very strange encounter. I can only tell you that she won't come back for a while, so I asked me to come here to see you. , To see if her family is doing well."

"No, no, I believe you. There was a time when I thought it was a mental problem. No one around me remembered her, and there was no trace of her existence. But I do have a blood connection, The twin sister who grew up together since childhood, she lives so vividly in my memory."

Cheng Qianluo put on the glasses and restored the calmness a mature man should have. He looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao gently with his eyes that were exactly the same as those of the princess.

"Thank you for coming here to bring me her news. You have solved the doubts in my heart for many years. I just want to ask, Chiba, how has she been doing well these years."

...

After bidding farewell to Cheng Qianluo, Zhou Xiaoxiao boarded the returning plane.

Looking at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt that instead of unsolving the doubt in her heart, she was even more confused.

She suddenly realized that if she went back this time, she might be like Chiba and never come back.

Parents and relatives may forget themselves, and there is no trace of themselves in this world.

Which side should I give up?

Are you willing?

Zhou Xiaoxiao felt that she was caught in a dilemma.

She dragged a somewhat exhausted body back home, with a small warm light on the entrance of the house.

As long as she has not returned home, no matter how late, her mother will keep such a small lamp for her.

As soon as she entered the door, her brother Zhou Zisi jumped out and pulled her into his bedroom.

"Fuck, sister, are you crazy? Why are you putting so much money on my card?"

"It's not for you. I will send you the card for a while." Zhou Xiaoxiao gave him a white glance.Sitting across from him, he reached out and touched his messy head, "That's all my wealth, don't mess with me."

"Sister, what's wrong with you? I always think you are weird lately. Is it because of Xue Chunjian?" Zhou Zisi jumped up, "Xue Chunjian bastard, if he wasn't in prison, I would have to stabb him ten or eight A hole vents your breath."

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled: "Zi Si. You have grown up and become more mature. Don't say so arrogant words, parents and sisters will depend on you in the future."

"Sister, you have something, you must be hiding something from me!"

"I have something, I am in love. Come, I will show you the portrait of your brother-in-law. Mom and Dad have seen it."

"Wow, is he so handsome? No, no, no, you must have added ten layers of filters to make him look like this. I want to see a real person face to face."

...

At the moment in Yu Xingzhi's study.

Cheng Shizhao, Cheng Shiqi, and Yu Xingzhi left the people behind to discuss matters in the house.

Cheng Shizhao knocked on the table and said, "Zi Gui, what are you talking about, look at your smirk, are you listening to me?"

Yu Xingzhi came back to his senses: "Cousin, forgive me, I went away for a while."

Cheng Siqi said with a sad face: "Fifth Brother Yu, my sister-in-law's disease shouldn't be contagious. You've always been sitting and laughing lately. How do I feel that you look more crippled than before."

Cheng Shizhao slapped him on his head: "What are you talking about? First take care of yourself. How many times have I told you, don't interact with those merchants, especially those traveling between Liao and our country. Hu Shang, there are Khitan spies in Bao Qi."

Cheng Shiqi shook his head: "But those old mates go north and south and have a wide range of knowledge. Listening to them talk about the customs of different places and people is very knowledgeable. Has there been another change in Khitan recently? Didn't my Dajin just open a border market with them and recover Is there any trade?"

"Those barbarians are shameless, cunning and cruel. After a defeat, they shook hands with our Dajin and made peace with the state, but they were still full of bad water. Recently, there seems to be a lot of Khitan spies in Kyoto. I don’t know what the barbarians are doing. Idea, don’t fail."

Yu Xingzhi: "It is precisely because of this that the Holy Admiral ordered me to cooperate with Jing Zhaoyin to defend the public security in Kyoto."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Tong entered the door, "In response to the fifth master, Juanzi's sister Fang sent someone to say that everything is in order for the wife, and she has gone to bed, so that the fifth master does not have to worry."

Yu Xingzhi replied: "Go and tell Juanzi, take care of Madam, I will come right away."

Yu Tong retired.

Cheng Shizhao suddenly remembered something and frowned and said: "Zi Gui, you were walking on the streets of Kyoto with good grace, but you were looted to Shu by Lin Bingren. I always feel that something is wrong. There must be ghosts. You have to. Didn't you check the upper and lower Fuzhong?"

Yu Xingzhi said in a deep voice, "How did my father and elder brother not get angry when I faced the catastrophe, and they almost searched the entire government mansion. Indeed, a few people who leaked my whereabouts were investigated and dealt with. The rest were never discovered."

In the dead of night,

Yu Xingzhi was lying on the bed, and Zhou Xiaoxiao hugged and depended on him, silent.

Yu Xingzhi noticed Zhou Xiaoxiao's mood abnormal.

"Xiaoxiao? What happened to you today?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao touched his face and said nothing.

Yu Xingzhi sensitively discovered that something was wrong.

"Xiaoxiao, what's the matter? You won't tell me?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao drew a picture on his chest with his fingers.

Slowly write two words: Nothing.

Yu Xingzhi sighed and said in a gentle but serious tone: "Xiaoxiao, you once told me that we should walk side by side and support each other. Although I am not as strong as you, I am not a weak man. If you have anything difficult, tell me to know it."

The finger circled his chest several times.

Slowly write the words: Xingzhi, where is the princess?

"His Royal Highness the princess is wandering away and has never returned to Beijing. Do you want to ask her how to return?"

I can't find a way back.

Yu Xingzhi took a breath and said slowly: "Xiaoxiao, don't be impatient. It's already good that we can get together like this every day. We work hard together and look for both sides. I believe that one day, we can find a way to let you My husband and wife were reunited. I was inquiring about the news of the princess, and I will let you know as soon as I hear back."

The fingertip wrote a line of handwriting: The princess and I are from the same world.If you see the princess, tell her that I have seen her family.Her family is very good, and her brother misses her very much.

Yu Xingzhi suddenly became a little frightened, he noticed Xiaoxiao's attachment to hometown and relatives.However, he has no other way.

He turned over, hugged his beloved tightly, and kissed her frantically.

Sorry Xiaoxiao, I can't agree with you to stay at home, I really can't live without you.
