"… Brother Ming Ya, have you made up your mind? Are you really going back to Shanghai?"

A girl with two curly ponytails put her hands on the back of the leather sofa. She stuck her head out mischievously and looked at the person sitting on the sofa with a smile.

"Why? Didn't you always call me a coward and want me to go back and face it?"

The person on the sofa reached out. His hands were slender and strong. He grabbed the girl who was lying on his shoulder. He didn't move much, but the girl cried out and sat on the bench beside him.

"You're not a gentleman. After being here for so long, you're getting more and more rude to girls," the girl complained and rubbed her shoulder. She looked up. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her facial features were bright and beautiful. Her eyebrows were as dark as ink and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised. She looked like a cat's eyes, revealing a sly and arrogant look.

"In my eyes, you'll always be an evil brat. You can't be considered a lady." The person on the sofa raised her eyebrows, raised her leg, and crossed her hands on her knees. She appeared to be very casual.

"Hmph, I don't believe you!

Brother Ming Ya is the best to me! "The girl retorted unhappily and wanted to pounce on the man on the sofa.

"Zhou Qi, you keep saying that you want me to treat you as a girl. Is there such an unreserved girl?" The man reached out and pressed his hand against the girl's forehead. He gently pressed her down and turned her upside down.

"As a Hei Yi, I don't have so many restrictions. If I want someone, I have to give it to them with both hands!

Who cares if I'm reserved or not! "Zhou Qi heard this and raised her eyebrows. She didn't think much of it.

"This is France, not your village.

After I go back to Shanghai.

If you offend any French nobles, no one will take care of you. "The man finally stood up, walked across the long corridor and pulled open the curtains.

The sun shone on his face and reflected a dazzling face. His facial features were very handsome and young. His eyes were deep and there was a trace of careless laziness in them.

He was the second son of the Yunnan warlord Hoxun's family, Huo Duzhi. His courtesy name was Ming Ya.

It was also the former Gu Qi.

Gu Qi and his mother, Gu Wei, were taken to Yunnan. Gu Wei naturally became Hoxun's third wife, while Gu Qi became the Second Prince Huo. His name was officially written into the family tree. This generation of the Huo family was ranked first. Following that, he was given a great name, Huo Duzhi, courtesy name Ming Ya.

For the sake of one's future, one must think carefully and clearly.

Huo Duzhi first went to high school in Kunming for two years, then went to Yunnan Martial Arts Hall, and then went to France's Saint Cyr Military Academy to further his studies. In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed.

Now, he was finally going to return home.

However, he did not plan to return to Yunnan. He wanted to return to Shanghai to take a look first.

"Hmph, the French are all a bunch of dumb chickens. I'm not interested. But your good brother and dream lover, I really want to see what kind of heavenly beauty she is." Zhou Qi casually sat in a corner of the sofa. She stretched out her leg and casually kicked the carpet. Her face was full of dissatisfaction.

"She has someone she likes. Is that something you make up?" Huo Duzhi heard her and frowned. His reply was merciless.

"A heavenly beauty is just a lie. You're too protective." Zhou Qi saw that Huo Duzhi's face became serious. She lowered her arrogance and only muttered softly.

"Hmm?

What did you say? "Huo Duzhi raised his face. His face was calm.

Zhou Qi immediately kept quiet.

"You stay in France. Don't come after me. Otherwise, you'll see how I'll deal with you."

Huo Duzhi said lightly.

"Okay, I came to France to study. How can I be so careless?" Zhou Qi readily accepted and behaved obediently.

"It's good that you know …"

All these years, Huo Duzhi had not contacted Luo Fusheng. At first, it was because his father's army was in a civil war. He just happened to be in the army. They were homeless and could not contact each other at all.

Later, the situation stabilized. After half a year, he returned to Kunming to study. Then, he was pestered by Zhou Qi.

Hoxun's wife had just passed away not long before Gu Qi returned home.

Hoxun's family, including his current wife, were all Yi people. They were Hei Yi who were supported by the Yi people.

Hei Yi had a noble status. They did not work and received the support of ordinary Yi people.

During wartime, they led the army to protect the people.

Hoxun grew up in such a family. He learned martial arts from his cousin Lu Han. Later, he left Yunnan and fought for justice in Sichuan. He met Gu Qi's mother, Gu Wei. He decided to settle down and started a medicine business.

In the end, the two lost contact with Gu Wei and joined the Yunnan Coalition Army.

They gradually formed a family.

Zhou Qi was the niece of Hoxun's second wife, Zhou Lian. She grew up in a slave family like the Yi people. She was smart and very willful and arrogant.

Zhou Qi was only ten years old when she first saw Huo Duzhi.

Zhou Lian's brother, who was her father, brought her to Yunnan. When she saw Huo Duzhi, she pestered this handsome but taciturn brother and said that she wanted to marry him.

At that time, everyone laughed and was even happy to see it happen.

Huo Duzhi was the only one with a sullen face.

What he hated the most in his life was being casually judged by others.

Not to mention marriage, which had nothing to do with others.

He was annoyed by Zhou Qi.

However, because of his mother, he had always respected women.

It was not good to speak bluntly to Zhou Qi, so he let her pester him.

However, Zhou Qi was really willful. Not only did she pester Huo Duzhi to pick her up after school every day, but she was also very fierce to Huo Duzhi's friends. She wanted to monopolize this brother.

Huo Duzhi could not hold back his temper and scolded her. She ran away with tears in her eyes.

She did not come back even when the sky was dark.

Yunnan people were valiant. When Huo Duzhi returned home and saw that Zhou Qi was not there, he hurriedly went back to look for her. In the end, he found Zhou Qi under the overpass with a head full of blood.

Fortunately, there was a gentle slope under the overpass. Zhou Qi looked down from the overpass. As a result, she was small and did not have a stable center of gravity, so she fell down. Fortunately, she was small and did not have any other problems.

Although Zhou Qi was willful, she was very strong. At this time, she did not even cry. Huo Duzhi carried her home without a word.

From then on, the relationship between the two of them improved. Zhou Qi became more sensible, and Huo Duzhi was no longer so impatient with her. The two of them got along well.

However, Huo Duzhi was still determined to not agree to Zhou Qi's absurd proposal of marriage.

Later on, Zhou Qi was lying in front of the window and saw Huo Duzhi writing a letter with his head lowered. He tore and rewrote the letter. After writing for a long time, he still could not finish it.

She asked him who he was writing to.

Huo Duzhi looked at Zhou Qi's curious cat eyes. For a moment, his heart softened. He told her the story of him and Luo Fusheng. Of course, he omitted many details and told her.

As a result, Zhou Qi burst into tears when she heard the story. She cried and said, "So you already have someone you love!!!

I can't accept this!!! "

Huo Duzhi panicked and tried to defend himself. "He's my sworn brother. Little girl, what are you talking about!!!"

However, Zhou Qi sobbed and said, "You cherish him so much and pay attention to him everywhere. If this isn't love, then what is?"

Huo Duzhi was completely unaware that he had added unnecessary details to his description of Luo Fusheng. However, he was still not touched by her words. Instead, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "You haven't seen him. He's really good-looking. It's normal for me to be good to him. Besides, I'm not always so distracted."

Because of Zhou Qi's words, he was reminded of the private things between him and Luo Fusheng. He did not pay attention to his words, and the words slipped out just like that.

As a result, Zhou Qi cried even harder. "Distracted?

So you've had improper thoughts about him for a long time, but you're not willing to offend him. If this isn't love, then what is?!! "

Huo Duzhi was rendered speechless by Zhou Qi's words. It was as if he had been struck by lightning.

Zhou Qi did not know about the accident between him and Luo Fusheng. However, because of this, she could see it clearly.

Huo Duzhi treated Luo Fusheng like the apple of his eye. However, he only treated it as a congenial relationship with Luo Fusheng.

Even though he was often distracted by Luo Fusheng's beauty, he did not think too much about it because of the accident when they first met. He only treated it as a natural stimulus. However, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There were thousands of beautiful people in the world, and countless pitiful people. When had Gu Qi ever looked at them?

Why did he have to be so meticulous and considerate?

Gu Qi thought he was smart, but there were some things that he could not see as clearly as a ten-year-old child.

Unfortunately, it was all too late …

In this chaotic world, no one knew when they would meet again.

Yunnan was like spring all year round. It should have been winter a long time ago, but it was still warm.

Huo Duzhi looked at the banyan tree outside the window. He was stunned for a long time.

After a long time, he lowered his head and stroked Zhou Qi's crying head. He said softly, "Then you don't have to cry. He already has someone he likes …"

Since then, Huo Duzhi gave up on contacting Luo Fusheng. He only felt that Luo Fusheng treated him like a brother and relied on him wholeheartedly. However, he already had improper thoughts about him. It was very blasphemous. He only wanted to change his wrong feelings.

However, he could not help but secretly send people to Shanghai to secretly investigate Luo Fusheng. He was like an overly conservative stalker.

Therefore, these days were not difficult. After a while, there was no contact at all.
