29. Chapter XXVIII
Jiang Ling choked back into his throat in one breath and froze motionless on the bed.
Zhou Chengzhi chuckled, slowly let go of his hand, got off the bed, groped to the table next to him, and lit the oil lamp.
The little heart that Jiang Ling was carrying finally fell to the ground, she exhaled lightly, lifted the curtain, and said angrily to the person standing by the bed: "Brother Chengzhi, why are you here?" It almost scared the hell out of me! ”
Zhou Chengzhi was dressed in plain white clothes, his hair was simply tied up with a hosta, and the whole person was elegant, but on the beautiful jade-like face under the lamplight, a pair of sword eyebrows flew obliquely into the sideburns, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and his dark eyes looked at her, but there was a kind of evil aura that people did not dare to look at directly.
Even if he's just a fifteen-year-old boy.
Jiang Ling avoided his gaze unnaturally, and suddenly remembered the tyrannical and evil man in the dream just now, and thought of himself in the crystal ice coffin. Suddenly, there was an illusion of a different world.
Of course, it was indeed a lifetime.
In that life, there were actually only a handful of photos they had fought, and a rhyme between him and Cao Youer, the daughter of Cao University, was known to everyone in the capital. Cao Youer is both talented and beautiful, she was the first beauty in the capital that year, and she thought she couldn't compare to that kind of woman. Of course, it is impossible to think that Zhou Chengzhi will love him.
After his death, floating in the world, he didn't think much about it when he saw him lying next to the ice coffin containing his body, and even when he was buried in the fire with himself in his arms, he was only slightly puzzled. Then came the joy of being reborn, and thinking about how to change his fate, and forgetting the strange scene.
But at this moment, she suddenly thought of this.
If it is said that in this life, it is because she took the initiative to be close to him, so that a lonely prince who was excluded in the deep palace felt warmth, which made Zhou Chengzhi have unusual thoughts about her. And what about the previous life?
In the previous life, they did not have a four-year correspondence, let alone any chance to get along alone. The person he admires should be Cao You'er, how could it be her?
But if he really loved Cao You'er, how could he stab her to death with a sword so lightly. On the contrary, when he was dying, he held his body and held on.
Jiang Ling couldn't figure it out. But there is this inexplicable involvement in both lives, which may only be explained by fate.
Zhou Chengzhi saw that she looked strange and worried, and walked over and smiled: "Are you really scared?" ”
Jiang Ling came back to her senses and looked up at him, but saw that his gaze fell lightly on her shoulder, she realized that she was only wearing a cool belly pocket, and at this moment the brocade was slipped under her shoulder, revealing a piece of radiant skin.
She hurriedly pulled the quilt on, blushing and slandering this guy for not being very old, but he was not small. The third watch broke into his boudoir in the middle of the night, and took advantage of her so much.
Jiang Ling glared at him: "What are you going to do in the middle of the night?" Only then will the disciple break into the boudoir of his daughter's house. You said you didn't bully me and then you came to bully me? ”
Zhou Chengzhi spread his hands innocently and stood in front of her: "You hid from me for two days, I just came to see you, I didn't even touch half of your hair, where can I bully you?" ”
Jiang Ling breathed and remembered the charm in the chaos in his dream, and bit his lip without a trace, and there seemed to be a little unusual heat left on it. But even if he touched it, there was no evidence, so he could only suffer a dumb loss.
She puffed out her mouth, looked at him and complained: "Breaking into someone's boudoir in the middle of the night is bullying, if I am seen, do I still want to be a man?" ”
Zhou Chengzhi smiled: "If someone sees it, I am responsible." ”
Jiang Ling was stunned: "Brother Chengzhi doesn't want to say these words." ”
Zhou Chengzhi straightened his face and looked at her eyes seriously: "Ling'er, you haven't seen me for the past two days, is it because my second brother sued Uncle Jiang, what did your father say to you?" ”
Jiang Ling said: "That time my father drove you away in a roundabout way, you should know what he will say to me." ”
Zhou Chengzhi's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Could it be that your father and mother really plan to marry you to my second brother?" ”
Jiang Ling pursed his lips and said, "That's not it. Saying that, he was afraid that he would misunderstand and hurriedly added, "My father and mother don't want me to marry into the royal family at all, they are the same as I think, and they hope that I will find an ordinary family in the future and live a peaceful and stable life." I'm not smart, and I definitely don't have a good life when I enter the palace. ”
Zhou Chengzhi chuckled: "Do you think that ordinary people don't have those dirty things, and it is not uncommon for all kinds of fights in the courtyard of the back house." ”
Jiang Ling said: "That's not necessarily, you see that our Jiang family is very good." My eldest brother married my sister-in-law and had a little nephew, and the family continued to live in harmony as usual. ”
Zhou Cheng knew: "That's because you gave birth to a good family." ”
Jiang Ling said: "Then my father and mother will definitely help me choose a good family like our Jiang family." ”
Zhou Cheng knew: "It's good to be able to pick a good person, but how do you know that a man from a good family happens to be what you like?" Is it possible that as long as your family is suitable, you will marry. ”
Jiang Ling didn't know how to answer, of course she wanted to spend her life with someone who was in love, but such a thing was probably just unavoidable.
Zhou Chengzhi continued: "But for me, the future wife must be the one I choose and like. ”
Jiang Ling smiled: "Cheng Zhi brother is the prince, three wives and four concubines are not a problem, what kind of woman do you want?" ”
Zhou Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "It's not simple at all, the girl I picked didn't seem to have chosen me yet, and his father didn't seem to like me either." ”
When he said this, it was difficult for Jiang Ling to pretend to be stupid. She fell down on the bed, turned her back and covered herself in the quilt, and said angrily: "Brother Chengzhi, you have seen and seen, Ling'er still wants to sleep well, you should go back quickly, if someone finds you in my room, it will be really a trouble." ”
Zhou Chengzhi leaned behind her ear and said in a dumb voice, "Ling'er, you know who I'm talking about." ”
Jiang Ling pulled up the quilt and covered his head: "I don't know." ”
Zhou Chengzhi chuckled, leaned closer, and went to pull her brocade quilt. pulled one by one, and in the end Zhou Chengzhi won, and then warmly came up, kissed her behind the ear, and said with a smile: "I don't want to beat around the bush anymore, the girl I chose is you." Four years ago, it was ...... No, it was in the last life. I know you have affection for me too, and it's useless for you to hide from me. Whether your father and mother want to or not, I will definitely marry you in this life. If you want to live in peace, I will let you live in peace. ”
Obviously he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, but the voice had a bewitching taste, accompanied by a burning kiss that fell behind Jiang Ling's ear, which made her whole body soften, and her mind was blurry, and she suddenly didn't know what day it was.
But the three words "last life" made her mind slightly clearer, and she turned her head to look at him with a worried face: "What did you say about the previous life?" ”
Zhou Chengzhi hooked his lips and smiled, and touched her hair: "I said that I seem to have known you in my last life, and I thought it was fate." ”
Jiang Ling frowned, looked him up and down, and felt that his idea was really ridiculous. There are so many coincidences in this world, how can they all be people who have lived a new life.
She shook her head and sighed, "Brother Chengzhi, marriage events are all the words of the matchmaker at the behest of your parents, what's the use of you saying this?" ”
Zhou Chengzhi chuckled: "So, is Ling Er willing to marry me?" ”
Jiang Ling's face flushed slightly, and for some reason he was a little inexplicably embarrassed and flustered, and snorted: "I didn't." ”
Zhou Chengzhi laughed: "Okay, I won't force you." If people really find out that I'm here with you, it's really not good to say. If I marry you, I will marry you with dignity. ”
He touched Jiang Ling's face, got up and turned off the lights and went out, leaving a dark silence in the room.
Jiang Ling lay on the dark bed, thinking about what he had just said. Of course she didn't want to marry him, but he had already made it clear that she couldn't pretend she didn't know if she wanted to.
But she is also more determined not to marry the prince, because this will inevitably cause Zhou Chengzhi's dissatisfaction, and it is okay for her brother to fall against the wall, but she is afraid that he will be the same as in the previous life, after breaking with the prince, he will rebel.
If she marries Zhou Chengzhi, I am afraid that his aunt and the prince will not give up, if there is a conflict between the prince and Zhou Chengzhi, the Jiang family will not have a good time in the cracks.
In short, it is not a wise choice to marry any prince. That's why she and her parents thought about staying away.
But now it seems that with Zhou Chengzhi's unambiguous temperament, since the words have been spoken, I am afraid that she is in a catastrophe.
Jiang Ling sighed in the dark, it was hard to live a new life, but God still didn't let her live a good life, it was really annoying.
