Chapter 29: A Night of Gossip
Zhang Huai only felt that everything in front of him seemed to be distorted, and his consciousness began to trance inexplicably, as if everything just now was a dream, the alarm never sounded, and he never swung that axe.
There seemed to be a bit of blinding white light in front of his eyes, and the light continued to spread and spread until the scene in front of him was pure white.
He suddenly smelled the fragrance of grass, and something seemed to be floating in the pure white, and when he looked intently, it was catkins flying like a blizzard.
The expression on his face was always serious, but the moment he saw the catkins in front of him, his gaze softened.
He walked forward slowly, reaching out to pick up the catkins, remembering that spring, as if it was now, that day......
"General Zhang, when will you become a marshal!"
The voice came from behind Zhang Huai, a pure girlish voice, like a sweet mountain spring, moistening every place she went.
Zhang Huai turned around in astonishment, and the monotonous white instantly became colored when he saw her.
It's her......
He stared at the girl, stroking his face in a daze, but did not touch the familiar stubble.
Did I have a dream? He looked at the young girl in front of him, looked at the innocent smile on the girl's face, what time is it now, is it that time has never passed, but I have a long dream?
The enthusiasm of the girl's smile was not concealed in the slightest, showing the beauty of her truest youth in front of Zhang Huai's eyes.
She was wearing a pink dress and leaned forward, as if waiting for Zhang Huai's answer.
"General Zhang, did you hear me? I said, when will you become a marshal!"
The girl's smile is simple, but breathtaking.
"I ...... Let it be. Zhang Huai's eyes darkened and softened, his voice was no longer loud, and his words became a little cramped.
She is the younger generation of the Tiangui clan, with a pretty appearance, that year, she was lively and active, and she went up the mountain to play and accidentally bumped into him who was practicing martial arts.
Since then, she has been glued to him. She ignored his coldness, ignored the world's perception that he was dangerous and violent, like a kraft candy that could not be shaken off.
He is withdrawn and martial, and he is not good at handling this kind of relationship between men and women, so he is ashamed to express his enthusiasm to the girl, and he has done many things that are easy to be misunderstood. Until that day......
The catkins blocked Zhang Huai's vision from time to time, and the girl's familiar tone was mixed with reluctance.
The girl stood in front of Zhang Huai, the smile on her face was no longer pure, but seemed to be squeezed out: "That, I am the Tiangui clan, and I must intermarry with the human race when I am old, you ...... Marry me......"
Her voice slowly became quieter, and she was speaking with little confidence, or she was ready to be rejected.
"I'm still ...... Don't want to get married. Zhang Huai turned his resolute face and looked away from the girl.
"But I, my family, urged me......" The girl's eyes were moist, and her eyelashes stained with tears were like shining butterflies.
"Don't cry. ”
Zhang Huai stretched out his hand and wanted to wrap his arms around the girl's shoulder......
With a snap, the hand was opened. The girl finally stopped forcing herself to smile, or rather, she couldn't help it.
"Fool!"
This was the first physical contact since they met, but it was also the last.
The girl ran away, Zhang Huai watched her back gradually move away, wanting to stay, but couldn't find an excuse.
He loves cultivation too much, and the word family sounds like it comes with too many trivialities, and he doesn't want to, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't love it.
It's okay, it's okay, if you can't give it to her, let others give it to her, and let yourself, a fool who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, be a dispensable passerby in her life.
He didn't expect that the girl would be like a different person after that, rebelliously messed up every blind date, and no longer stuck to him, didn't even like to wear pink dresses, and didn't like to laugh anymore.
She was such a weak person, but from then on she wrapped herself in armor, and she began to practice martial arts, until she stood by his side in the name of righteousness.
The catkins in the sky seemed to take away the girl's most beautiful innocence, but at this time, the catkins were scattered in front of Zhang Huai's eyes again.
The girl laughed again.
The corners of Zhang Huai's mouth are lowered, which one is the dream and which one is the reality?
If everything in front of him is real, he is really willing to do it all over again.
His lips squirmed lightly for a long time, and finally a byte was issued: "Shu'er......"
The girl looked up in surprise: "General?"
"If I become a marshal, I will ......," he said, as if with great determination, and finally uttered those two words, "marry you." ”
"Really?!" The girl smiled like a flower, and jumped up excitedly to wrap her arms around Zhang Huai's neck, but because she was too short to ring them, her arms slipped to her side.
Looking at the girl's flushed face, the corners of Zhang Huai's mouth couldn't help but want to bend.
In the courtyard of Zhang Huai's house.
Wang Jiuguang and Cuicui clasped their hands around their chests and tilted their heads to stare at Zhang Huai in front of them.
Zhang Huai was squatting on the ground, staring at the pet white cat obsessively, and calling a name emotionally in his mouth-
"Shu'er~"
The deep voice turned a thousand times when shouting this name, and it seemed to contain no thoughts.
The white cat actually "meowed" back.
"Ancestor, you're so amazing! you've fooled him in the head!" Cuicui sighed.
Jiuguang's expression was complicated, as a spellcaster, he could see all of Zhang Huai's hallucinations.
"He's not the guy behind the scenes. Wang Jiuguang said.
"Why?"
"His lover should be Leng Shu. Wang Jiuguang looked meaningfully at Zhang Huai, who interacted with the white cat.
Cuicui believes in her ancestors unconditionally, but as a woman, she said her opinion: "That doesn't prevent Leng Liang from liking him." ”
"That won't be. He is a martial artist in his bones, and he will only sympathize with people like Jiang Chuan. I guess it's because the people in this country hate Jiang Chuan, so he, as a marshal, has to behave more fiercely. Wang Jiuguang analyzed.
Cuicui thought for a moment and said, "That's right, once he stands with Jiang Chuan, the disgust of the people will be transferred to him, and they will regard him as Jiang Chuan's kind. ”
"Such a person may be a little radical in the open, but in the dark, he definitely supports Jiang Chuan. The ancestor suddenly approached Cuicui and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, "Let's go, Miss." ”
The wind in mid-air ruffled their hair, tangled in the wind, and the scent of sandalwood on the ancestor's body also confused Cuicui's mind.
Under the cover of night, the emerald red fluttering little face will not be seen by anyone.
But the temperature of her body and the gradually louder heartbeat ruthlessly exposed her heart.
The ancestor listened to the obvious tom, and the corners of his mouth curled into a triumphant smile, Cuicui's body temperature was already hot for him.
When he was in the cemetery, he decided that one day he would make Cuicui admit defeat herself. He actually can't stand the girl's coquettishness, and after Cuicui's purpose of coquettishness is achieved, he wants to run, which is impossible for him.
In fact, it was easy for him to bewitch someone, but for Cuicui, he didn't want to.
He felt that the day when Cuicui would admit defeat was not far off.
