Chapter 53: Happiness Comes Too Suddenly
The two stayed in the middle of the lake until noon, and it wasn't until Leah's stomach protested that she blushed and closed her mouth. At www.biquge.info suggestion of Meyer, Leah cautiously swapped places with Meyer, and then Maier rowed the boat to the starting point.
This is the second time Leah has made a fool of herself in front of the opposite sex. Of course, she was the only one who thought so, and Maier didn't feel that it was a shame to have a stomach. When everyone is hungry, the sound of the stomach is just a signal to the outside world that they are hungry, nothing to be ashamed of.
“…… You...... Do you really think so? ”
"Of course." Maier smiled calmly, "Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're sleepy, there's no need to force yourself for the sake of so-called face." ”
Leah's face flushed, and she pretended to be casual and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite open-minded." ”
"It's not open-minded, it's just empathy. If my stomach is growling with hunger, I definitely want to eat, and I want to eat a lot. I'm like this, and so are others, isn't it normal to be a person who thinks more about others? ”
"Oh!! That's it! ”
Leah pointed at Maier in surprise as if she had solved the mystery.
"What?"
"The source of your stress!"
"The source of stress?" Maier couldn't help but tilt his head.
"You're always thinking about others." Leah said seriously, "You're very problematic with that. ”
"Huh?"
Maier, who was questioned about his outlook on life, was a little unhappy in his heart, but he did not have a seizure, and asked patiently.
"How so?"
"That's your attitude!!" Leah pointed at Myer's nose and said loudly, "You obviously want to get angry, but you endure it in order not to spoil the atmosphere, it's not good for your body to hold it like this!" ”
Uh, is she thinking about me?
Leah's words surprised Myer, and the anger was immediately extinguished.
"Uh...... But if you don't, you're going to spoil the atmosphere—"
"Destruction is destruction!" Leah's eyes widened as she interrupted Maier, "You're the king!" This is not a diplomatic place, you can do whatever you want in your country, who can control you? ”
Mel thought about it and realized that Leah's words made sense. He knew that Leah wasn't trying to encourage him to do whatever he wanted, he just wanted him to express his true emotions.
"But didn't you just say that people who can control their emotions are mature people?"
"That's what my teacher said, she's dead now."
"Isn't the word of the deceased more weighty?"
"Even if it had weight, that was what she said to me. I was so emotional at the time, that's why she said that. As for you, you've been suppressed for too long, you have to vent when you need to, otherwise you'll suffocate yourself. ”
"But venting or something—"
"It affects others, doesn't it?"
Leah spoke the second half of the sentence for Maier, and then spoke to him impatiently.
"Don't think of the people around you as vulnerable. When I said something like that to you, I was ready to be angry with you, and if you didn't get angry, I had a feeling of punching the cotton, which was very uncomfortable. For people like you, there are few fools around you who don't think about the consequences, and you can feel free to express your true emotions. As for those fools, the more you protect them, the less chance they have of growth. You have to discipline them when you have to, so that they know that they have done something stupid, so that they can grow—"
At this time, Leah's stomach screamed again. She blushed and closed her mouth again. As Mel listened, Leah suddenly stopped talking. He couldn't help but raise his head and asked with a serious face.
"What else?"
"And ...... And there is. ”
Leah adjusted her mood and continued.
"You have to believe in yourself. You are not one person who will actively hurt others, all the people who are hurt by you are self-inflicted, and you are not responsible. So you don't have to worry too much about when you interact with people, and the people who hate you must not be good people, and you don't have to care about the feelings of such people. You don't have to care about other people's eyes, people who like you like you like you no matter what you do, people who hate you hate you no matter what you do, and you don't have to care about how they feel about the latter. ”
At this point, Leah suddenly realizes that she used to hate Mel, but Mel still cares about her feelings. At this moment, Leah's heart felt warm again, and her love for Mel became deeper. But she didn't realize it, and thought she just didn't hate Mel anymore.
Seemingly...... Looks like I'm a good person, right......
Leah pursed her lips and turned her gaze away.
"Hey, I'm hungry, paddle faster."
Mel was thinking about what Leah had said and didn't hear it, so the boat didn't spend. Leah didn't complain about this, she looked at the pensive Maiel, and the flush on her face didn't fade for a long time.
Lunch was eaten in the restaurant on the pier, and the guards had already chartered the venue in advance, and the entire restaurant on the second floor was chartered. This was the first time that Maier and Leah had eaten together in a harmonious atmosphere, and the two of them talked as if they had known each other for a long time. When the guards and maids saw such a scene, they were shocked in their hearts, but they did not dare to show anything unusual.
After lunch, the two took a walk by the lake. Leah hadn't exercised in a long time, and after walking for about two hours, she suddenly offered to go into the forest to hunt. Maier asked the guards to fetch the bow and arrows, and the guards returned to the Bluestone Palace and reported the matter to Yun Xin first, and only after Yun Xin's permission did they dare to bring the bow and arrows back.
Under the protection of the two guards, they came to the forest outside Yongfeng Village and walked a long way before they saw the first prey. Mel's archery skills are very average, he and Leah bend their bows at the same time, Leah shoots her prey in the head, and Mel misses the target by about five centimeters. Leah mocked Mel's archery skills mercilessly, and then before Mel could refute her, she came over and instructed her on her archery skills with a serious face.
Her hand was on Mel's hand and she opened the bow with him. The two bodies were close together in such a position, Mel's mind was on archery, and he was already used to physical contact between people of the opposite sex, so he couldn't notice the soft touch behind it. Leah only noticed this when she corrected Myer's pose, and then her face turned redder than a boiled crab.
Hum...... He didn't say anything...... Sure enough, it's a color embryo......
Leah thought so, but instead of leaving Myr, her body was closer to him.
This...... It's for my future...... That's right! I was deliberately tempting him! Well! That's it!
This is how Leah explained her actions. Because she cared too much about this physical contact, in the following shots, Leah made frequent mistakes and didn't shoot a single prey. In the end, Mel hit the three-headed beast, and Leah only hit the small beast at the beginning.
When the two decided to return to the Bluestone Palace, the guards went back in advance to report to her according to Yun Xin's instructions. Yun Xin received the report, so he took the maid to the gate of the Qingshi Palace and waited for them. About an hour later, Yun Xin saw the two of them talking and laughing and walked back, showing a relieved smile.
Maier didn't expect Yunxin to come to the door to greet him in person, and by the time he found out about it, he and Leah had already arrived at the gate of the Bluestone Palace. Yun Xin looked at him and Leah with a smile and said to the two.
"Welcome home."
Maier only showed a surprised expression, and then respectfully saluted Yun Xin. Leah's expression became exaggerated by shock after seeing Yun Xin, and before she could adjust her mentality, Yun Xin's gentle words made her body stagnate and her brain went blank. By the time she regained consciousness, two lines of tears were rolling down.
Welcome home - this is only for Mel, and for Leah. This means that Yunxin has recognized Leah as a member of the Byron family and sees her as a real daughter-in-law.
Leah's tears made Yun Xin feel a little distressed, but she didn't show it, and indifferently turned her gaze to the prey carried by the guards, and said with a smile.
"I've gained a lot, and tonight is a blessing. Go back and rest, take a shower, change your clothes, and see you in two hours at the banquet hall - Leah, you will come too. ”
Although Yun Xin had already said "you", she still had to emphasize this point. She did this to give a signal to the people of the Bluestone Palace that Leah had been approved by her, and she might not restrict Leah in the future as much as before.
Happiness came too suddenly, which gave Leah the illusion that she was dreaming. The tears flowed uncontrollably, but her heart was not sad, and her steps were brisk as if her body had lost weight. By the time she came to her senses, she was already seated at the table in the banquet hall.
The Byrons family often had family dinners, but they were usually in the dining hall of the main hall and rarely in a dedicated banquet hall. Yun Xin informed the princesses that Maier had gone out hunting today and had a good harvest, and that she would like to invite everyone to eat barbecue in the banquet hall, and that she had something very important to announce.
The princesses didn't know about Mel and Leah hanging out, and they didn't even know that Mel had gone to Leah's today. They were surprised that Mel had gone out hunting, but they were glad to attend the feast. When the princesses, dressed in fancy clothes, came to the banquet hall with their children, Yunxin and Gray had already arrived.
Mel arrived a little late, and it was only after he that the princesses noticed that there was an extra chair at the table. The princesses thought that there should be a guest coming, and just as they guessed the identity of the guest, a trance-like Leah appeared in the banquet hall. Her appearance caused the princesses to look stunned, and they all turned their eyes to Meier. Maier shrugged his shoulders innocently and glanced at Yun Xin, and then the princesses looked at Yun Xin with respectful and puzzled eyes.
Yun Xin was not in a hurry to explain to her daughters-in-law, and when Leah sat down, she said unhurriedly.
"Actually, I didn't have anything important to call everyone here today, I just wanted to have a reunion dinner after a long absence. A few months ago, there was one more person in our Byron family, and although she hadn't passed the door yet, she wasn't the only one who hadn't. The fact that the other three were able to attend the dinner showed that Leah was also qualified. Mel and Leah's wedding is very close, and I would like to use this dinner to send my blessings to both of them, and at the same time ask Leah's opinion on something. ”
Hearing this, Leah's heart immediately lifted. She was afraid that Yun Xin would make excessive requests, although she didn't know why, but she inexplicably felt that as long as Yun Xin made a request, she couldn't refuse.
"We're already a family, I'll be straight to the point. In fact, before you, Ista, Lulu, and Mingli were already engaged to Mel. If it weren't for Chao Xinguo's sudden attack, they would have been married in April last year. After the end of the war, the Kingdom of Elt married the Kingdom of Byrons, and out of diplomatic etiquette, we had to postpone the marriage of a few people again. All three of them are from good backgrounds, but none of them are as good as you, who are the princess of the Kingdom of Elt, and it stands to reason that it will only take two months for you and Mel to marry into the Byron family. ”
"But the three of them have already postponed their wedding once, and we already owe them a lot to the Byrons family, and we really don't want to postpone their wedding a second time. So I want to ask you for one thing, can you let Ista, Lulu and Mingli get married in the same month as you? ”
