Chapter 14: I Really Don't Know You
Looking at Mei'er's embarrassment, the man in Tsing Yi let out a chuckle, Mei'er's whole body suddenly shook, this laughter sounded very familiar
She propped up the plank with both hands, looked at the rough lines on it and thought, "A long, long time ago, I must have heard this laughter a long, long time ago, how long ago?"
In a trance, the lines on the wooden board seemed to move, and the opening and closing showed a beautiful picture in front of her eyes, inside a man and a woman, sitting side by side on the clouds, although she could only look at her back, but the graceful posture and fluttering blue clothes made her dizzy and envious.
The seven-colored haze as thin as a light veil drifted slowly, and the man's hand slid over the woman's waist, and the head turned sideways, revealing half of the side of the face
Mei'er opened her cherry mouth, trying not to scream - wasn't this the brother standing behind?
Then, the benevolent brother lowered his head, and the woman also raised her head, her long ink-like hair swaying with the soft breeze, and her face was hidden in thousands of green silks.
The two looked at each other affectionately, his hair and hers tangled together in the smoke, dancing with the wind, spreading and condensing.
The two looked at each other for a while, and the brother in the painting finally couldn't hold it back, and kissed it, lingering, and long, until the woman was panting for breath, he let go of her, and the woman lay her head on his chest, and his hand was still wrapped around her waist, gently stroking up and down.
The woman curled up in the arms of the brother with a weak willow helping the wind, although she only saw the side, Mei'er could clearly see that the eyebrows and eyes of the brother were full of pampering, and he was chuckling lowly, leaning close to the woman's ear and whispering something
The woman raised her pink fist and gently slapped Brother Ren's chest a few times, and then
Mei'er blushed and heartbeat when she only saw it, and wanted to close her eyes and not look at it, but she was a little reluctant, thinking that the person in the painting was standing behind her, she just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself in it.
There was silence in the room, except for the rapid breathing of Mei'er and the man in green clothes.
The wind lifted the corner of the curtain, and the dazzling sunlight leaked in, Mei'er only felt a flower in front of her, the illusion was gone, and the reflection in her eyes was still a rough wooden wall.
She supported the plank with both hands, and was shy about the scene she had just seen, she was still a boudoir woman, but she peeked into the most ambiguous scene in the world for no reason, this daydream was too outrageous She lowered her head, panicked, and ashamed.
She felt the man slowly walking behind her, she didn't dare to turn back, but she could feel a warm and familiar aura surrounding her from behind, imprisoning her whole person, just like the solid feeling in her sleep.
This thick feeling instantly turned the thousand feelings in her heart into ashes, and she closed her eyes, what I saw just now must be an illusion, an illusion!
Who is this person who was just a hallucination that was scared by the giant snake? Why did I wake up in this strange cabin?
The man stood a stone's throw behind her, not speaking, but looking at her quietly with eyes as deep as the sea.
Mei'er took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her mind, when she heard the man whispering, "Mei'er, are you awake?" β
His voice was warm and mellow, which made her feel so comfortable that she couldn't help but respond, and then even she felt abrupt.
"You've slept all day, aren't you hungry?"
Mei'er shook her head, and suddenly looked back at him in amazement: "Who are you?" How do I know my name? β
He smiled slightly in the leisurely light, and her heart jumped, this smile was really good-looking, better than the smiles of the two brothers.
His hand was raised, and he naturally lifted the strands of her hair hanging down her cheeks, and said softly, "My hair is a little messy, I'll comb it on the dressing table outside." β
Mei'er tilted her head back, his fingertips touched her white and tender face, and smiled: "Afraid? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. β
Mei'er's heart was pounding and panicking, this person's demeanor can be regarded as frivolous? But why did I feel only cordial from the moment I saw him? Don't feel scared at all?
And why does my heart always beat irrepressibly? As if I was very, very eager to see him, why?
"You saved me?"
His sword eyebrows, which were perfectly curved, were raised, without denying or admitting.
Mei'er couldn't help but ask: "This son, can you see that snake, a very big snake, and my second brother and my brother and sister went up the mountain together, where is he now?" Have you seen it? β
He sighed casually, and the corners of his mouth curled upward: "Snake? Big, big snakes? Are you still as afraid of snakes as you used to? β
Mei'er snorted dumbly, looked at him, and repeated his words: "In the past? I've never seen a snake that big before! β
Thinking of the giant python with a mouth full of sticky saliva, she showed a wincing look on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "Have you seen that snake?" β
He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "See, the snake is out there now, I'll take you to see it later." β
Mei'er was startled, and looked at him with a relaxed look that didn't care, as if the snake was just a pet he had raised.
She waved her hand again and again and said, "No, no, I won't look at it, do you know the snake?" β
He let out a loud laugh, there were a few more jokes in his eyes, Mei'er suddenly blushed, what he said was stupid, this is obviously a majestic man with sound limbs, how could he know the giant snake? Unless he's a snake too.
Mei'er broke out in a cold sweat inexplicably, unless he was also a snake???
This handsome man in Tsing Yi is a human being? Is it a ghost? Or is it a snake spirit? Although she has lived in the boudoir for a long time, she still heard a lot of interesting stories about demons and monsters and fairy elves from the mouth of the old grandmother and the little maid, and when she first heard it, she also had three points of fear, and when she heard it more, she regarded it as a leisure pastime after tea and dinner, and occasionally sat alone in the middle of the lake to watch the lotus platform, she would also take those strange stories to imagine, imagining the people living in the void world, animals, flowers and plants, but today you don't need to imagine, your own thrilling experience is enough to make the rest of your life endless.
She clinged to the wall and stammered, "This son, what is your surname?" How is my second brother? β
He smiled slightly and said, "My name is Mingchen, do you remember?" β
Mei'er of course shook her head, although this gave her the first feeling was excellent, but of course she didn't remember who he was, just because it was the first time she had seen this person from being sensible to today.
What's more, the huge python that this person said was outside the house.
Mingchen's bright eyes stayed on her puzzled face, and finally turned the pretty face of the girl who had been hidden by her father in the boudoir since she was a child and raised between the mountains and rivers into a red like sunset.
Mei'er was extremely embarrassed to give him a salute, this person's eyes were burning, completely ignoring the etiquette of the current men and women, although the tone of words was extremely gentle, but for the first time to meet strange men and women, it was inevitably frivolous, she covered her nose with her hands, covering the anxiety in her heart, and whispered: "This Mingchen son, is this on the mountain or under the mountain?" You saved me, right? Have you seen my second brother Luo Junxi? Is he okay? β
Mingchen looked at her stepping on a pair of slender snow-white feet on the wooden board, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "This is the mountain, yesterday the wind and rain were terrible, I went to the mountain stream to fish, saw you floating and sinking in the water, and rescued you." β
Mei'er became more and more uneasy, was this man who saved herself in the water? Of course, he had come back here with himself, and my dress should have been soaked in the water, butβshe was only then surprised to realize that the dress she was wearing was not the white dress she had worn when she had gone out the previous morning, but a plain dress of pale blue.
Her surprise was not trivial, could it be that this person helped her change her dress? This is really a shameful person, will I still have the face to see the world in the future?
"Is it your lady's change of clothes for me?"
He smiled strangely, and Shi Shiran said, "My lady? Oh no, it's the dress I changed for my lady. β
Mei'er stomped her feet, covered her face and said, "I'm not asking your lady." β
He nodded suddenly and said, "Oh, I changed the dress for you, you are soaked, if you don't change it, it is easy to catch a cold and get sick." β
Mei'er is really five points shy, four points frightened, plus a part of helplessness, all kinds of emotions are disturbed, one breath is actually divided, only to feel a chest tight, legs and feet are weak, about to fall to the ground.
But as soon as she shook her body, Mingchen's hand was already under her ribs, holding her steady.
"What? Are you hungry? β
The warm and familiar smell once again permeated her, just like the solid feeling in her sleep, it should be human, and the burning heat of his hands was constantly passing through her clothes, and it continued to enter her shivering and cold body.
She looked at the man in front of her stupidly, his expression and behavior when he spoke to her seemed to be as natural as flowing water, as if it was like this, it was such a tone, such a relationship
"Who are you? Why do you know my name? β
"Mingchen, do you remember?"
His eyes were gentle, with sparkling waves rippling in his eyes, and her heart couldn't help beating again, and she hurriedly turned her head, not daring to look at him.
"No sorry, I really don't know you."
He just looked at her and smiled slightly, and comforted softly: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember it for the time being, I will be by your side and slowly reminisce about the past with you." β
