Chapter Eighty-Three: Two Sorrows
Because Chen Yifei injured his arm, it was inevitable that he would be inconvenient to move at night, so Su Jinchen stayed in his room at night to watch the night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Methodically served Chen Yifei to wash and change clothes, lay down to rest, and Su Jinchen lay down on the bed separated from him by a screen.
The night seemed extraordinarily quiet, and even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
Su Jinchen didn't feel sleepy, and his slender fingertips brushed over the extinguished sunset flower.
Sunset ...... Twilight opens and falls, life is brilliant but short.
But she liked it very much.
Because there was once such a person, when she was most lonely and helpless, he once bought a "sunset flower" for her.
Since she was a child, she has received very few gifts, even the annual birthday, but only the eldest sister and the nurse remember.
But a strange boy gave her such a beautiful gift......
Of course, he had forgotten all about it.
Maybe it's just a casual act of kindness when he raises his hand...... But she still remembers it.
Even three years ago, when she found out that the man her brother had brought home was him, she had naively thought it was ......
Su Jinchen laughed self-deprecatingly in the dark night.
I was so stupid at the beginning.
I never thought about it......
The jade-like boy who once illuminated her heart.
That girlhood was the first time to look forward to and pound the heart.
But it's all her own wishful thinking.
How could someone like him look down on her.
A concubine of unknown origin......
Su Jinchen looked down at the beautiful white sunset flower in his hand.
It's time for her to let go.
Over the years, she deliberately didn't think about it, didn't think about anything related to this person, didn't think about why a big brother who was once so warm and caring would turn her away when she was most desperate and helpless.
But now, she understood enough.
For he is such a manβa man who never hesitates to give warmth to those who are inferior to him and to those who are more pitiful than him.
And to him, she is just an ordinary member of this multitude of beings, so ordinary that she can't be more ordinary.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late for her to know.
That's fine......
She silently brought the lantern under the bed and admonished herself again.
That's for the best.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Little by little, the night passed.
Su Jinchen hugged his knees blankly and sat quietly at the head of the bed.
She didn't dare to sleep.
No one knows if he will wake up screaming like he had done so many nights before.
She was afraid of disturbing him. She didn't want to bother him unnecessarily because of the accident, though she wasn't sure if he was bothered by herself.
Su Jinchen lowered his head and silently counted in his heart. Like many sleepless nights when she woke up, she wished it would light up sooner...... Faster.
She even thought that maybe she could be on duty every night in the future. Then she can naturally catch up on sleep during the day, and she doesn't have to worry about disturbing anyone.
Yes, she will go and talk to Zhilan tomorrow...... Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
It would soon be overβfor him and for her.
It's going to pass slowly......
Suddenly, there was a very soft rustling sound in the room.
Su Jinchen hurriedly got out of bed and walked over with a lamp.
I saw that Chen Yifei had already walked to the table and held a bowl in his left hand.
"What's wrong with you? But do you want tea? Su Jinchen said and hurriedly put the candlestick on the table, and without waiting for him to answer, he had already quickly taken a piece of clothing and put it on him.
Chen Yifei nodded, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "You haven't slept yet?" β
ββ¦β¦ Well. Su Jinchen replied lightly and took the bowl from his hand, "If you want to drink tea, just call the slave maid, why did you come down in person?" As she spoke, she poured a bowl of tea, carefully skimmed off the floating leaves on it, raised it to her lips and blew it lightly twice, and then fed Chen Yifei to drink.
Chen Yifei lowered his head and took a sip, but his eyes quietly looked at the girl in front of him.
His hair was not messy, and his eyes were not hazy when he first woke up...... Could it be that she just sat outside and waited for him to summon her......
Suddenly, I remembered that Zhilan had mentioned that she always couldn't sleep well at night.
Under the faint candlelight, the girl's bright and delicate facial features like begonia flowers seemed to add a bit of warmth and tranquility. There was a touch of sorrow between her eyebrows, which made her whole person more beautiful and weak, which made people feel pitiful, so that people couldn't wait to hold her in her arms and comfort her, just hoping that she could show her face to herself again.
The charcoal fire in this house must be too hot...... The previous strength of the wine came up inexplicably at this time, and she felt an intuition urge to reach out and soothe the sorrow in her eyebrows.
Chen Yifei hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and only lowered his head to drink water to calm down.
Su Jinchen couldn't help but wonder a little - Chen Yifei's bowl of tea had been drunk to the bottom, as if he was still unfinished......
"Second Young Master, do you want another bowl?" Su Jinchen asked softly.
Chen Yifei pursed his lips pretending to be calm, "Don't." β
Su Jinchen put down the tea bowl at this time, "That slave helps you-"
"Not necessarily!" The stiff and cold words suddenly popped out of his mouth, and even he was startled.
Su Jinchen's two hands hung in the air even more awkwardly, and he didn't take it back for a while.
The girl's face turned a little red with embarrassment.
"I just hurt my arm, but I can still walk." He quickly softened his tone and explained softly.
ββ¦β¦ Be. She lowered her stiff hands and said respectfully, "The slave knows." β
Su Jinchen held the lamp to light it for him, and it wasn't until Chen Yifei got into bed that she stepped forward and carefully helped him lie down, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for him.
Her every movement was very light and gentle, and she avoided almost all physical touches except for the skin-to-skin blind date.
The faint fragrance of the woman still lingers in my ears......
"I'm fine here, you can go and rest."
"Yes," Su Jinchen thought for a while, and said uneasily, "The slave maid is outside, if the second young master wants anything more-"
"Okay," Chen Yifei smiled, "I'll call you then." β
Su Jinchen nodded, "The slave and maid retreated first." β
"Go ahead."
Su Jinchen hadn't walked out yet, when he suddenly heard Chen Yifei say behind him, "I've always slept well, but once I fall asleep, no matter how loud the sound is, it's hard to be alarmed...... You can sleep in peace. β
Su Jinchen was stunned, turned around and blessed him, and then gently retreated.
Chen Yifei looked at her departing back and pursed her lips and smiled bitterly.
I don't know if what he just said was clear enough.
Sometimes he also felt that he was too dull.
In the past, Zhai Fengnan also teased him - no matter how lively and interesting a girl is, as long as she has been facing him for a long time, I am afraid that she will feel that her life will be boring.
Want...... Probably true. (To be continued.) )
