Chapter 43: I Don't Know You
When Yi Jae-wook walked to the hut, the courtyard door was wide open, and he saw a familiar figure sitting in the courtyard tying bamboo, the action was so skillful and charming, full of a kind of magic that deeply attracted him.
He just stood under the pear blossom tree, looking at her in a daze, but he didn't dare to come forward to disturb her.
In a trance, time seems to go back to eight years ago, the same place, the same people, doing the same work. The only difference is that at that time, he could sit beside her openly, helping her while saying some inconsequential words to tease her.
"Are you wearing clothes made of your own cloth?" he asked, looking at her with a look of curiosity.
"How is that possible? I don't have a mother's teaching, I can only hunt, I can't weave cloth to make clothes. She replied with some loneliness.
"Mom, what the hell, babysitting?"
"No, Mommy is...... Mom means, I'm an orphan. ”
"Uh...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. But...... I'm going to say, you're wearing this...... It's so ugly, I'll buy you a dress another day, the kind that women in big cities wear, and a pair of high heels will definitely make you glamorous. ”
"You don't want your clothes, I have enough of my own. Besides, the clothes you people in the city wear, are they still called clothes? They rot when you pull them lightly, and you can't do any work in them. Hua'er shook her head in disgust.
"Huh...... Only those who can tear them are called good clothes, and you women look good in them, and men want to tear them. He maliciously stretched out his claws and made a gesture to tear her clothes.
She quickly picked up a bamboo branch and whipped it into his hand, making him scream.
"Woo...... I'll just tease you!" he handed her the back of his red hand and said with some indignation, "Hiss...... You see, they're all swollen for me. ”
"Huh...... You deserve it, who told you not to do good deeds. Her cheeks were flushed, and she pretended to be tough: "I didn't chop you cheaply, be content!"
"That...... I'll go see how your medicine goes. She found an excuse to run away, leaving him in place and remorseful, "Ahh......h I've been well for a long time! I can fight tigers in the mountains now, and I can plow the fields when I go down, and I can't be better, I don't need to take medicine anymore!"
"I know you're well, this is not a cure, but a physical medicine to strengthen the body, look at you, your body is so thin, weaker than the hare, hurry up and drink it while it's hot." She took a bowl of medicine and handed it over.
He was like a big dog with his tail stepped on, and he jumped up in an instant, and retorted: "I am weaker than a hare? Am I mistaken? My hundred-pound of meat is not an ornament, do you need me to prove it to you?"
He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to puff up his biceps, but he hadn't practiced it, where was it so simple.
She covered her mouth and snickered, "Huh...... Last time, I don't know who it was, I couldn't even catch a pregnant female rabbit, so I let it run away in a daze. ”
"Uh...... It was an accident, and I'm not a professional hunter, so it's normal not to understand this. How can it be like you......" he pouted with disgust, "I look like a woman, but I can do more than a man, it's too condescending to be a woman." ”
"Because you can't be a treasure in the palm of someone else's hand, you have to work harder to survive, so that you can withstand the wind and rain, you won't understand. This medicine, do you like to take it or not, I'll put a stool on it for you. After she put the medicine down, she lowered her head and concentrated on what she was doing, no longer forcing him as before.
Such a woman made his heart tingle, lifted the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one breath as if he were dead, and then, a sentence without a brain, couldn't help but rush out, "In the future, you will be the treasure in the palm of my hand, no matter what, I will carry it for you." ”
He said it so earnestly, as if it was a promise he had worked so hard to fulfill. She stared at him blankly for a long time before she said to him, "Thank you!"
Neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other fixedly, forgetting the time, forgetting everything, as if they could look at each other like this for 10,000 years.
And eight years later, it has only become his gaze. A gust of wind blew, and the pear blossoms of the trees flew all over the sky, and many of them fell on Yi Jae-wook's shoulders, and the fresh and elegant taste, just like the woman inside, made his dead heart begin to beat violently.
The first to spot him was Pear, who had a slingshot in his hand and looked like he was going to shoot.
Pear looked at Pear curiously, "Don't fight the house sparrows at the door, they won't come after they are beaten, and you won't have any playmates." ”
"I don't fight house sparrows, I fight a ruthless wolf. After the pear finished speaking, the pebble flew out with a "whoosh".
Lihua hurriedly got up and looked over, where was the wild wolf at the door, it was clearly a man in a suit and leather shoes, covering his forehead with his hand, but he couldn't really see it.
Pear Blossom snatched the slingshot and reproached Pear, "It's all said, you are not allowed to hit people, why are you so disobedient?"
She hurriedly stepped forward to check the man's injury, "This gentleman, the child is too naughty, I'm really sorry to beat you!"
The man lowered his hand, and the red and swollen bag on his forehead was so glaring, but even more dazzling was the face that made her once madly beloved.
Rika gasped and couldn't help but take two steps back, until she leaned against the firewood door before she stopped.
"Pear blossom...... It's been a long time, are you okay?"
Yi Jae-wook looked at her face at a good glance, she was still as beautiful as a pear blossom, white and gorgeous, and the years had not left too many traces on her body.
At this moment, his heart was throbbing like never before, if he could, he wanted to snatch her by all means, even if she was already married.
Such a thought, in the past, was suppressed by his reason just thinking about it, but now when they meet again, instead of extinguishing, they are becoming more and more hot.
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know you. Pear Blossom turned around indifferently and closed the chai door directly.
She was very glad in her heart that she had repaired the door last night, otherwise, how could she put an end to this man's prying eyes.
Her heart was not as calm as she had appeared, nor was she as indestructible as she thought, but she just didn't want her weakest and most embarrassed self to appear in front of him.
"It would be nice if I could be a little better. She thought bitterly as she leaned against the door.
"Bang bang bang......" Yi Jae-wook knocked on the door anxiously, and said unwillingly: "Pear flower, I'm Ah Xu, have you forgotten me?"
"You open the door and we'll have a good talk, okay?"
