In a flash, it is three or four days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two of them didn't say anything about that day, as if nothing had happened.

Su Jinchen still took care of his diet and daily life as always, washing and cooking, folding quilts and making beds, dressing and changing dressings, and nothing she should have done has been left behind, if there is really any change...... It's just a matter of becoming more silent and more careful.

She minimizes the time she spends at home and becomes more lively than ever. Picking flowers, digging bamboo shoots, embroidering, listening to operas...... She tried to keep herself busy, so busy that she would fall asleep every day as soon as her head touched the pillow, so busy that she would never have the time to indulge in unrealistic fantasies.

But occasionally, unattainable longings still pop up in my mind.

She sometimes wonders, how much does Chen Yifei like her?

Of course he liked her.

If she had been troubled by this before, it would have been impossible to hesitate to save her from the bandits at the risk of his life.

But this kind of liking, in the face of the gap in identity, has become so humble and insignificant, so bitter and unspeakable.

At the same time, she sadly realized that the crux of the reason why she was in such pain now was none other than herself.

Maybe she's too greedy and wants too much.

If she can be content with her duties and honestly regard herself as a proud girl by his side...... She should have been pampered and even spoiled by him, and she should be happy and happy.

But she ...... I just can't.

Perhaps after all those ups and downs, his gentleness and indulgence gave her too much room for reverie, so that she clearly warned herself not to be delusional, but on the other hand, she smug herself that she was a little different from him after all......

Reality is a resounding slap in the face.

It was painful but also loud - she was wrong.

If you are wrong, you must admit it, and if you admit it, you must change it.

Thinking like this, she felt a sudden relief in her heart.

In fact, it's okay, there is no expectation and no disappointment, and in the future, she just needs to do her own thing.

Other...... The more you think about it, the deeper you fall.

I heard the hot love song at the foot of the mountain calling "brother and sister", and I don't know who in the village sang it again.

Thinking that when she first heard it, she was so ashamed that her face was red, and Su Jinchen couldn't help but smile faintly - she has been dreaming for so long, and it is probably time to wake up: those simple and straightforward love and life are what she longs for all her life but can't seek.

She stood up and patted the dust off her body, and picked up the basket with a few spring shoots to go home to cook.

"This is going back?"

Su Jinchen was taken aback.

I didn't notice when he was standing behind her.

"Yes." Su Jinchen quietly took a step back, lowered his head and pursed his lips, "...... How did you get out? ”

Chen Yifei smiled and walked to her side with his hands in his hands, "I saw that the weather was excellent today, so I got out of school a moment early." He glanced behind her, "You seem to have gained a lot today." ”

“…… Well, it's okay. Su Jinchen lowered his head and kicked the pebble at his feet, and after answering, there was a long silence.

This is also the pattern of their relationship these days - one racks his brains and has nothing to say, the other is silent, and only answers two sentences when he has to speak.

"That ......" It seemed that it was a long time before Su Jinchen heard him say softly, "...... If I'm not mistaken...... It's your birthday, right? ”

Su Jinchen was stunned, and looked up at him in surprise.

In fact, she hasn't had a birthday in a long time. At the beginning, it was because the people who were willing to celebrate her birthday left one after another, and she became a dispensable existence in the family, and later, she completely became "another person", and the so-called birthday became a very distant thing.

If he hadn't suddenly brought it up...... Even she forgot about herself.

Originally...... She's eighteen years old today.

“…… Be. Su Jinchen nodded lightly. Originally, I was curious about how Chen Yifei knew about her birthday, but after thinking about it, I was relieved - since he could arrange a new identity for her, then she must have known all her previous case files, right?

"This ......," he coughed lowly, his eyes turning uncomfortably, "this place is too far away from the town down the hill to buy any novelties—" He paused, but suddenly as if by magic, he took something out of his back and shoved it into her hand without saying a word.

Su Jinchen was stunned and instinctively caught it. When I looked down, I realized that it was a wreath of colorful flowers and emerald green branches.

"I saw that the wreath they made was really interesting, so I learned to make one, so you can play with it...... Later, when I go down the mountain, I will send you a good one. ”

His voice was not loud, and there was even a little embarrassment and flattery in his tone, which made her heart can't help but soften a little.

"Slave maid...... Second Young Master Xie rewarded. Su Jinchen said softly, and respectfully blessed him.

He didn't speak, just turned his head to look at the side of her face.

The girl kept her head down, her long eyelashes trembling gently with her every breath, casting a faint arc under her eyes.

This is what he is most familiar with, what she looks like.

Every time she is helpless, when she is sad, when she is wronged, when she doesn't want to explain or can't explain...... What was left to him was always this respectful and distant look.

Once upon a time, they got along and retreated back to the same place?

He sighed lowly, but the next moment he took her free hand.

Su Jinchen's body suddenly became a little stiff, and before he could break free, he heard him say in a deep voice in his ear, "Are you still angry?" ”

She was dazed.

Are you still angry?

What is angry?

Angry that he didn't trust her, said those unpleasant things to hurt her, or was he angry that he didn't respect her, knowing that she didn't want to, and insisted on bullying her?

It seems to be both, and it doesn't seem to be.

But now it doesn't seem necessary to talk about this.

"The slave is not angry." Su Jinchen withdrew his hand and said indifferently, "It's just that the master is ...... Don't bother doing these things anymore. ”

"Why? Don't you like it? Chen Yifei was stunned, and his face couldn't help but darken.

It was the first time he had tried so hard to please a woman, and even before he came, he had imagined her reaction in his heart, but either way...... Such a cold reception is really disheartening.

"Yes," she smiled helplessly, "but I just like it...... will be afraid. ”

He's just inexplicable!

"What are you afraid of?"

She looked up, her clear eyes looking straight into his, "I'm afraid I'll be proud of your kindness, I'm afraid I'll become something that you or myself hate because I can't figure out who I am." ”
