She sat under the tree, looking at me with her hands on her knees, listening carefully, her expression was shocked, joyful, and sad, changing with the plot of the script, full of vitality.

Her eyes sparkled like fireflies on a summer night, so that I didn't notice what I was talking about, only her eyes that enchanted me.

Then she asked: "Poria, you say, why in this story, the ending of the demon and the human is not good?"

"Because demons and humans don't end well. ”

"Do you think so too?"

"I've never met a demon, so I can't answer. ”

"Then what if you meet it, Poria, do you also think that humans and demons do not end well? Do you also think that all demons are poor and vicious?"

"If I meet... Well. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, I saw her eyes darken.

I walked past her, touched her head, and asked, "What's wrong?"

She shook her head.

I withdrew my hand, looked into the distance, and said, "Fu Ling, it is impossible for demons and humans to have good results, demons and humans themselves are not the existence of the same world, whether the demons are good or bad, they have nothing to do with us humans. I squatted in front of Fu Ling, smiled and said, "Moreover, it was said in the book that most demons are not easy to match. Don't let those scripts be swayed. ”

"Yes.. ?." She lowered her head, making it difficult for me to read.

At the time, I thought it was just what I said that frustrated her, and that she was like most boudoir girls, and that the demons and monsters in the dialogue book were full of unrealistic fantasies.

If I had looked at her face more closely, I probably wouldn't have said that.

Time went by again, and she took me to more places, only from that day on, she was noticeably more silent than before.

When the parting came, I grabbed her hand and said, "Spirit, can you tell me who you are?"

She opened her mouth, and then seemed to figure out something, and regained the activity of the first time we met, and she smiled brightly, the corners of her mouth hooked into a bright smile, and she said, "I am the cocoon." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "That's right." I have something to say to you, Spirit. ”

"Huh, what?"

I opened my mouth, then smiled again and said, "If we can meet again, I'll tell you." ”

"Good. ”

In this way, the girl who suddenly broke into my sight also had to leave suddenly. I looked at her back as she left in a dashing manner, and my heart overflowed with bitterness.

Perhaps, all along, it was my wishful thinking.

I looked at the tall city gate, and the anticipation in my heart seemed to fade a lot with the departure of the cocoon spirit.

Maybe a person needs a pursuit to live, before I met her, my pursuit was life, after meeting her, I found that everything, including life, including the glory and wealth I wanted to pursue, suddenly became meaningless.

There is no reason, the moment I saw her, I knew that my heart would fall into a deep love, it was a spark-like collision, there was no reason, only brilliant.

After separating from the cocoon, I followed my initial steps, referred to it, came out on top, and bowed to the imperial court.

Then I met her, the princess of a country, and I saw the spirit again.

The scene of the meeting that day was no different from the first time I met the spirit, the sun was as bright, the same was under a big tree, but it was not her who smiled brightly at me, but the princess.

The princess said: "Zhuang Yuanlang, congratulations on your appointment to the post of secretary of my household department, I am the princess of the cuckoo, and I am fortunate to know you." ”

The spirit stood behind the princess and smiled at me, as bright and charming as ever, but with a hint of detachment in her eyes.

I looked at her for a moment, and then looked at the extraordinarily beautiful princess in front of me and bent down to salute, "The minister has seen the princess cuckoo, and it is an honor for the minister to be appreciated by the princess." ”

Something has changed unconsciously, or is there something that I didn't think I did in the first place.

I didn't know that the pure-eyed cocoon spirit would look at me with such charming and alienated eyes, and I didn't know that the cocoon spirit would appear in the palace.

I found her, and I said, "Fu Ling, you... Your identity..."

"My identity is a maid at the princess's side. The voice was cold and distant.

"Is it.."

"If Lord Shangshu is fine, the slave will retire first. ”

"Wait, what's wrong with you? Why is it so alienated now. ”

She paused, stopped leaving, turned her head, and with a complicated look in her eyes, she said, "Poria, don't pay too much attention to me, the reason why I came to you a few months ago is only because it was the princess's order." ”

"What? just an order? Why?"

"Of course, this is because Lord Shangshu is in poor health, and I am ordered by the princess to come to Lord Shangshu to escort you to the capital. ”

I pursed my lips and stared at Fu Ling, "You lie, since you are escorting me to the capital, why did you take me to see so many scenery and go through so many places, instead of sending me to Beijing in the first place." ”

"Oh, of course that's what the princess meant, the princess knows that you have never come out to relax, and ordered me to take you to these places, the princess is too weak to accompany you personally, but this is a piece of the princess's kindness. ”

"Princess, she... Why.." I was a little stunned.

"Have you forgotten, when you were young, you saved the princess's life, and the princess has always kept it in mind, and when she learned that you were going to enter Beijing to take the exam, she naturally worried about you. Princess.. But I've been paying attention to you.."

When I heard this, I finally remembered that when I was ten years old, I had saved a little girl by the river, and that incident was only a trivial thing to me, and I had long forgotten that the girl was a princess.

I was silent for a moment, not knowing or wanting to be the truth. I looked at Fu Ling's respectful and detached eyes, and my heart tingled.

These eyes, which a few months ago revealed intimacy, joy and warmth, but now these eyes are so distant, their owners told me that the nearly half year of getting along was fake, and everything was just an order.

I said, "Fu Ling, I just want to ask you, in the past six months, is everything really just an order? Is it true that all the kindness you have to me and the smiles you have made to me are not sincere, but just because of orders?"

"Yes. ”

She said yes, and her eyes were still so cold.

She turned away, and I grabbed her hand again, and I didn't know what my eyes were like at this point, maybe a little embarrassed. But I can't just let her go.

Maybe she's too different to me, the woman I was tempted by when I first met, or maybe it's because she was the first woman I met for a short time and couldn't help but fall in love.

I don't know why, there are so many beautiful women in this world, and I have seen too many excellent women before I came to the capital, but there has never been such a person who attracts me so much, enthusiastic, beautiful and charming, full of vitality and vitality, different from those deep ladies, gives me a fatal attraction, so I will be so alarmed when she suddenly alienates from me.

"Fu Ling. . . Before parting, I said that when we meet again, I have something to say to you. ”

She pursed her lips and stood in place, and I looked at her with a bitter smile.

I said, "Maybe you don't believe me, but I have to tell you that I've been pleasing to you since the first meeting.,"

Before I finished speaking, she suddenly broke free of my hand and turned around, interrupting me: "Lord Shangshu, the slave maid is just doing what is ordered, I hope that Lord Shangshu will forget what you just said, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”

I looked at her leaving, and my heart sank a little, it turned out that from beginning to end, it was really just my own wishful thinking.

I looked at the falling leaves around me, then at my own hand that had been thrown away, and smiled bitterly, watching her leave without looking back.
