Chapter 17 The Secret Promise of the Heart

"Smack. ”

Mei Wendian was slapped hard by Xia Chun, and her hand made a crisp sound when she made contact with her face. Mei Wendian's whole person was in the moment. Since he was a child, he has fought with Xia Chun, countless times, all of them are unreasonable for him, but Xia Chun has never beaten him, he has always been gentle and kind to him, even if an adult comes to ask what happened, Xia Chun always takes the initiative to take responsibility himself, and never says that Mei Wendian has a cent.

And today, Mei Wendian didn't do anything wrong, he just wanted to kiss Xia Chun and do what Lin Yuefeng said to him about the "Zhou Gong Gift", but Xia Chun didn't allow it.

Mei Wendian covered his face, and there was already an obvious cry in his voice, "Sister Xia Chun......"

"Adian......" Xia Chun called Mei Wendian's name, not knowing what to say, but finally just sighed, she stood two steps back, "Adian, wait a minute, you don't understand anything now." ”

Mei Wendian asked rhetorically, "I don't understand anything, why don't I understand? I am now the only man in the Mei family, and I am the real male head of the Mei family." ”

After speaking, Mei Wendian continued to take a step forward, getting closer to Xia Chun.

Xia Chun looked at Mei Wendian and consciously took a step back, preventing Mei Wendian from getting closer, she clutched her chest, which was rising and falling violently. There was a burst of unexplained fear in her heart, she didn't know why she was afraid, she was afraid that Mei Wendian would touch her, she was extremely disgusted by this, she didn't even want Mei Wendian to touch her in the slightest.

Mei Wendian continued to get closer, and Xia Chun continued to retreat, and the distance between the two so far was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, until they were close at hand. Xia Chun had no way to retreat, she raised her right hand and was about to wave it at Mei Wendian's face, but Mei Wendian grabbed her. Xia Chun saw Mei Wendian's bulging Adam's apple, Mei Wendian was already there

In Xia Chun's heart, Mei Wendian is just a child, a child who accompanies her in her arms.

The two confronted each other like this, Mei Wendian looked at Xia Chun, and finally sighed and chose to give up, he hung his head in frustration, "Forget it, I'm leaving, Sister Xia Chun, you have a good rest." ”

"Wendian ......" Xia Chun suddenly felt a little unbearable, but she knew that she was right.

Mei Wendian returned to his room, he had no interest, got into the quilt, covered his head and began to sleep.

That night, Xia Chun, who was still in the tea room, chose to stay up all night, she was on the little light left by the kerosene lamp, embroidering on the small square handkerchief, stitches and threads, her eyes were red and swollen, but she still didn't stop. Under the seemingly calm face is a heart that has long been restless.

Xia Chun has an incomprehensible stubbornness about many things, and this is the case today.

If it was her in the past, she would naturally be reluctant to give herself to Mei Wendian, but today, she is not just unwilling. She already has someone in her heart, although it is just a silent and secret liking, but it is also a liking. It is even the purest feeling in the world, not mixed with the slightest impurity, such as snow lotus on an iceberg, like a spring under a waterfall. She had already made a secret promise to that man.

With this pure feeling, Xia Chun continued to embroider purses in the room.

When the sky was bright, Xia Chun finally embroidered the orchids on it, and her restless heart finally returned to calm, and tiredness came up from the bottom of her heart, she stretched her waist and planned to go back to her room to sleep. Lin Yuefeng is leaving tomorrow, she plans to sew the purse again tonight, tie the rope, and then add some calming herbs to make a sachet and give it to Lin Yuefeng. Xia Chun knew that Lin Yuefeng often didn't sleep well, and hoped that this sachet would be useful to him.

Xia Chun returned to the room, Mei Wendian was still sleeping, he was snoring, probably sleeping soundly. Mei Wendian also slept late last night, and I don't know what time I will sleep this time. Xia Chun suddenly remembered something again, and told Qiu Cicada to wake herself up later. Because according to the previous practice, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Chun would take Mei Wendian to visit Mei Wenyue and Yao Wenwu.

The autumn cicada was cooking the tea eggs for everyone to eat today, and responded from afar, and Xia Chun also responded groggily, and went back.

As soon as Xia Chun's head touched the pillow, the whole person fell asleep, and he didn't have time to take off his clothes.

Xia Chun only remembered that she had a hazy dream, in which she appeared in a misty forest, inexplicably chased and killed by a group of black-clothed people, she rolled and crawled all the way, shuttling around the forest, she didn't know why she was chased and killed, and she didn't know why she was here, she only knew that she had a thought in her heart, that is: escape. Escape from here, escape from this forest world, this place does not belong to her.

But among the few people in black, two of them were particularly tall, and her feet were not as good as those two people at all, Xia Chun was quickly caught up by those people, but she didn't give up, and she still wanted to fight hard, so she started an almost desperate fight with that person. But that person was a man, and his strength was much greater than Xia Chun's, and Xia Chun was quickly defeated. Xia Chun looked at the person and felt inexplicably familiar, but the person was wearing a black mask, Xia Chun couldn't see the person's face, and between the two of them, Xia Chun ripped off the mask on the person's face, and finally saw the true face of that person, but he didn't expect that it was Mei Wenzi.

At the same time, the few people behind her who had been chasing her also took off their masks, Xia Chun saw the deceased mother-in-law, father-in-law, and Mei Wendian, who was standing in the distance and watching all this coldly, only to see Mei Wendian slowly take off his mask, looking at Xia Chun, that gaze, like a knife, slashed Xia Chun's face, knife after knife.

When Xia Chun woke up, he was already sweating profusely, his pillow was also wet, and his body was even more cold sweat.

Firecrackers are blaring outside, and the New Year is like this, and every household is celebrating vigorously. Celebrating the end of the year is also celebrating the arrival of the year. The Mei family is naturally one of them.

Qiu Cicada hadn't come to call Xia Chun yet, but Xia Chun was so frightened by the nightmare that she couldn't sleep, and looked at the sky outside, it was indeed almost there, she got up from the bed and walked into Mei Wendian's room, intending to wake him up.

Mei Wendian was still sleeping, lying on the bed, and the hara on his mouth was half-flowing.

Xia Chun sighed, "It's still a child after all." ”

I saw her walk over, stretched out a handkerchief to wipe off his saliva, patted Mei Wendian's shoulder gently, scratched Mei Wendian's nose, and said softly, "Wendian, get up, we're going to pay New Year's greetings." ”

"Let me sleep a little longer. Mei Wendian muttered and turned over, full of unhappiness.

"Well, Wendian, we're going to my aunt's house. Xia Chun continued to persuade, Mei Wendian turned over just now and kicked the quilt off, Xia Chun wanted to go over and re-cover him, but at the moment when she just bowed her head, her whole face turned red, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

She saw that Mei Wendian's quilt was wet in the middle.

Xia Chun put the quilt back on Mei Wendian, turned around and walked out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the oncoming autumn cicada with a copper basin, and it turned out that the autumn cicada was fetching water to wash Xia Chun.

Qiu Cicada said, "Miss, I was about to come to you, and I left when it was time." ”

Xia Chun took the basin in Qiu Cicada's hand, put it on the shelf, and began to wash her face, she instructed Qiu Cicada, "Well, you go and call Adian." ”

"Good. ”

After eating a few tea eggs, Xia Chun took Mei Wendian and set off with the pastries he bought a year ago.

When the two of them arrived at Mei Leyue's house, Mei Leyue's family was eating breakfast in the lobby, tea eggs, dumplings, soy milk, and Yangchun noodles.

"Sister Xia Chun, have you had breakfast?" Xia Chun saw from afar that in addition to Mei Leyue and his wife, there was also a young boy and a young girl sitting at the table.

It turned out that Mei Leyue and Yao Wenwu also had a son and a daughter, Yao Hongfeng and Yao Hongxi, and it was Yao Hongxi who spoke.

Yao Hongfeng is one year older than Xia Chun, and now he is doing the Mei family's tea business in Jinling City, and he has opened a "Yao Ji Tea Shop" in the Xiaguan area, selling tea and tea sets, and the business was still very cold when it first opened a few years ago, but Yao Hongfeng's brain is active, and he is not a material for reading from childhood to adulthood, but he is a good hand at doing business, and he has opened the tea shop well, and it has only been two years since he became prosperous, and he has opened three branches in a row, and now he is the pillar of the family.

Yao Hongxi is one year younger than Xia Chun, the Mei family also pays attention to reading, a few years ago Yao Hongxi was still outside the women's middle school, and now stays at home, last year just promised someone, to marry to the provincial capital, I heard that the two met when they were on a study tour, the other party is a teacher, teaching middle school geography, is also a romantic poet, I heard that the two people fell in love at first sight, and soon promised a lifetime. The man came to Mei's house once, and Mei Leyue agreed to be his son-in-law when she saw him, and a wonderful marriage began.

When Xia Chun heard it, she was very envious in her heart, because it was almost impossible for her to fall in love freely.

"I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving. Mei Wendian came uninvited, he sat on the stool, grabbed a tea egg and began to peel it, and quickly peeled it off, only to remember that Xia Chun was still beside him, turned around and handed it to Xia Chun, "Sister Xia Chun, do you want to eat?"

Xia Chun walked over, took the tea egg in Mei Wendian's hand, and ate it with a smile.

She quickly finished eating, couldn't care about choking, and said to Mei Wendian with a smile, "It's delicious." ”

"Of course it's delicious. Mei Wendian patted his chest.

"That's natural, since Adian peeled one for me, and the courtesy is still exchanged, I naturally want to peel one for Adian. Xia Chun also sat down and began to peel tea eggs for Mei Wendian, and after peeling them, she also put the tea eggs into Mei Wendian's mouth, and then wiped the tea off the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
