Chapter 46: Encounter
Licheng has been much warmer these days, and on the embankment outside the city, the graceful willows have spit out bright green shoots, and a little emerald green is swaying with the branches in the wind, stretching freely. The snow melts on both sides of the river, and the snow flows down the gentle slope into the river, where it meets the rushing water. Standing on the embankment, you can still see the unmelted snow on the top of the mountain, and as the sun shines, it emits a dazzling white glow.
Outside the city, there was a growing queue of people, both pedestrians and merchants with horses or wagons. The weather is warmer, the roads in the mountains are also civilized, and the road is easier these days, and there are more and more people going to the free market in Licheng.
During the renovation of the shop, Du Wanwan not only visited it from time to time, but also went to the bazaar in the south city, especially the free market where merchants gathered. A few days ago, she picked up a few unique wood carvings here, and did not take them into the system to exchange energy values, but prepared to put them in the shop for decoration.
In the final analysis, she herself is not a student of interior decoration, this time, many of her own proposals, were mercilessly refuted by the craftsmen who did the work, and Du Wanwan's face was still a little unbearable.
In fact, she is also fresh, and she hopes that her shop is different from others, and finally negotiated with a few craftsmen again and again, or asked Yan Shao to find someone to come over and be responsible for the decoration of the shop, as long as Du Wanwan looks at it from time to time. These needed ornaments are put forward by the person in charge of decoration, and to say a rough idea, the specific style is decided by Du Wanwan herself, and she came to Nancheng with great interest.
"Bend?" Du Wanwan was looking at it vigorously, squatting in front of a small stall selling wood carving ornaments, holding other people's things and studying them carefully, and heard someone call her name.
Du Wanwan turned his head to see the person who came, and then put down the things in his hand and slowly stood up. The person opposite was wearing a lilac shirt with a wide black belt around his waist, and when he saw Du Wanwan, his face was a little surprised and a little surprised.
"Brother Fang. Du Wanwan smiled slightly. Greeted Fang Zhong politely.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while, Fang Zhong didn't seem to have any previous scruples and helplessness, his expression and eyes were extremely natural, and his tone was familiar when he greeted him. The smile on his face made Du Wanwan shake slightly. These days, what has been entangled is, is it yourself?
Fang Zhong didn't expect to meet Du Wanwan in Nancheng, she seemed to be tall again. The facial features have also grown a little longer, and they look more charming and pretty. The black girl's bun was hairpinned with two pink beaded flowers and an emerald green jade step, and the hair of the temples was soft and attached to the delicate white cheeks, and with the breeze on the white and slender neck, it swayed twice from time to time. Under the slender eyebrows, the apricot eyes moistened with water are slightly smiling, the nose is small, the lips are plump and ruddy, and the complexion is excellent.
The goose yellow collared blouse and the pink threaded long skirt properly outline the girl's soft curves. In addition, Du Wan has a tall body, and he looks tall and beautiful, in a place like Nancheng, she simply stands out from the crowd, and it is no wonder that among so many people, Fang Zhong can see her at a glance.
"Why don't you go to Xicheng to have a look?" Fang Zhong saw Du Wanwan fiddling with a wood carving in his hand from a distance, and when he got closer, he found that the wood carving material was average, and it was not as good as the ornaments in Xicheng.
Du Wanwan came back to his senses and replied to Fang Zhong's words with a faint smile: "It's not that I want to buy anything. Just feel free to wander around. Why did Brother Fang come to Nancheng?" "Fang Zhong is a young owner of a restaurant, and he is also very good at learning, and his usual friends are all Xiaolang gentlemen in Dongcheng or Xicheng, and taste is naturally not something that Nancheng can satisfy.
"I'm here to find someone. It's just a pity that he missed the day, and he seems to have left Licheng. ”
Du Wanwan didn't get to the bottom of it, the two turned around, left the bazaar and walked towards Xicheng. Away from the crowd, Du Wanwan said less. Fang Zhong was also silent all of a sudden, not knowing what to say.
Recently, he has been thinking about the matter between himself and Du Wanwan, and what kind of feelings he has for her. Du Wanwan is very good, he is very beautiful, otherwise he would not have suffered Bian Cheng's forced marriage, and his personality is also very compatible with himself. But every time I want to completely convince myself, Zhao Ling's bright and heroic appearance will appear in my mind.
Fang Zhong can basically make it clear that he likes Du Wanwan, and this liking was cultivated before he met Zhao Ling. There is care and love for his sister, as well as pity and liking for women of the opposite sex, but after Zhao Ling appeared in such a strong way, these slight feelings between men and women were diluted, and his longing and love for Zhao Ling completely occupied his heart, making his feelings for Du Wanwan more and more insignificant.
In short, he can't ask for Zhao Ling, and he thinks like crazy, and for Du Wanwan, he is above Youda, and the lovers are not satisfied. How much does Du Wanwan like him? Fang Zhong will also think about it in his spare time, what if people are just girls blindly appreciating and admiring? Fang Zhong felt that he should actually have a good talk with Du Wanwan.
"Wanwan, how are you doing lately?" Fang Zhong didn't know about Du Wanwan's assassination injury, thinking that she had been staying at Du's house all along.
Du Wanwan faintly guessed what Fang Zhong wanted to say to her, so he simply started talking to himself, "Fortunately, Brother Yan took good care of me and helped me set up a shop, so that I can do some small business in the future." On that day, what I said was a little inappropriate, and I was always worried about it. ”
What day it was, Fang Zhong didn't have to think about it!
"Where, it's my fault, and there's nothing wrong with you. I've been thinking a lot about it these days, I've thought about General Zhao, and I've thought about you. In fact, looking at Fang Zhong's calm appearance now, Du Wanwan knew that he might have really figured it out.
The two walked leisurely in the bluestone alleyway, talking to each other, "I understand your intentions, and I am very grateful, I didn't know before, I may have said something that would hurt you, and I did something to hurt you, I should apologize to you." You are a very good woman, I also hesitated, but General Zhao appeared. Maybe I still behaved inappropriately, and it was all my fault, but you deserve better. In my heart, I still regard you as a sister and a close friend, and if you can't accept it, I won't be by your side in the future. ”
When Du Wanwan heard these words, he felt sour in his heart, did Fang Zhong admit that he had ever liked him? It's just that when he hasn't yet determined, or even formed a love, he has been replaced by stronger emotions. He clearly rejected himself, and when he knew that he liked him and understood that he had a friendship for him, he still firmly rejected himself.
"Brother Fang, the feelings are all my own, of course I hope to get a response, but if I can't get it, I won't entangle. My relationship with Brother Yan is constantly changing, and in the same way, you and Brother Yan will also get along, so why should we be like strangers? ”
Fang Zhong stopped and looked at Du Wanwan, she looked at him sideways, this angle just met the sun. The spring sun gave Du Wanwan's youthful and charming face a soft halo, and the whole person seemed quiet and beautiful.
Fang Zhong smiled, "In that case, then you can take me to see where you are staying first!" (To be continued.) )
