Chapter 45: Heart, IV
The young man's plain clothes were like misty clouds in the mountains, misty and gray that even bright light could not see. That face was extremely delicate, and the eyes that were originally looking at Wu Yan were instantly offended, and I don't know where I was looking. Wu Yan noticed it, followed the young man's gaze and looked beside him, but he didn't gain anything, and the young man had already closed his gaze, standing quietly in the crowd, looking down at the goldfish in the water.
This person, probably not remembering himself, or ,—— "Why don't you dare to look at me?"
This alley is very crowded, but it is not as noisy as the avenue outside. Wu Yan's voice was not loud, but he still heard it in Xia Ziqing's ears, and the young man immediately looked at Wu Yan, and finally lowered his eyes and lowered his head.
Wu Yan looked at him for a long time, and was just about to retract his gaze and prepare to walk away, but he didn't expect him to be late for a long time and remember to reply,—— "Yes, why am I ...... Why don't I dare look at you?"
Xia Ziqing muttered and repeated, then raised his head to look at Wu Yan, the smile on his face had not yet dissipated, and the person lowered his head and smiled again, as if hesitating, and as if confirmed, he said slowly: "Maybe it's because of ...... I don't think I'm good-looking, that's why I don't dare to look at you?"
Wu Yan answered with a smile, "It's okay, good-looking people are friends with everyone." ”
The light fell on Xia Ziqing, drawing his eyebrows along the outline, he blinked his eyes in some disappointment, his long eyelashes drooped, still childlike innocence, but he already saw slender eyebrows, as if there was a shadow of someone, his voice sounded softly, "That's right, you are a good-looking person, so, even if I am not good-looking, will you be friends with me." ”
Wu Yan laughed out loud, staring at Xia Zihe without blinking, and saw Xia Zihe bow his head again, and said with a smile: "Hasn't anyone praised your appearance? For example, your brothers and sisters, father and mother have not said it? Look around, from just now to now, how many girls have turned back." ”
Xia Ziqing lowered his head when he heard this, and looked at the road under his feet firmly, like a wronged child, a child who wanted to be praised and affirmed. Even Wu Yan couldn't bear to have any joking thoughts, she smiled and replied in the affirmative again: "Yes." They turn around because they think you're good-looking. ”
Probably happy in his heart, Xia Ziqing had a little more smile on his lips, and his voice was a little more cheerful: "Yes, I'm afraid of life, I don't know what others think of me, and my brothers and sisters are not too close to me." My mother and I both live in Puzhao Temple, my mother recites sutras every day, and my father lives in the palace, and I don't know what they think of me. ”
As he was talking, a shrill voice suddenly inserted into him, which was the voice of Xia Zihe's attendant Qiao An: "Childe, you didn't urge me to go back, why are you standing still now, if you take it to catch goldfish for me at this time and bring it back to Madame, Madame must be very happy." ”
Xia Ziqing had no choice but to turn his head and say to Qiao An, "Mother asks for kindness to living beings and releases them in person every month, you caught a goldfish that was tortured by you for half a day and brought it back to your mother, didn't you want to make her angry?"
That Qiao An flattened his mouth and stopped talking, and when he saw the witch face in front of Xia Ziqing in a blink of an eye, he instantly exclaimed, "Have we seen this person, bullying the son, being rude to the son, where did he come from?"
Xia Ziqing was also afraid of causing anything more, he pointed to the northwest and said to Wu Yan: "I live in Puzhao Temple, the mountain gate will be closed in front of the time, I have to go first." ”
Wu Yan nodded, not wanting him to walk a few steps and turn back, so he actually apologized to himself, "I'm sorry, you have the heart to make me a friend, but I want to lose my company." Because today is my mother's birthday, I went down the mountain to buy her a bouquet of flowers. I'm afraid she'll wait too long for me, so I'll have to go back early. ”
"Go ahead, go ahead, since they are all friends, this little thing will naturally not be taken to heart. Go back early and wish your mother a happy birthday. ”
They parted in the lively streets.
