Chapter Ninety-Six: Returning to the Soul
"Second young master, Miss just got up for a while, and she hasn't changed her clothes and makeup yet!" Cuizhu blocked the door, and stopped the summer line that was about to step into the door in time.
"Don't be afraid, I've seen her ugly like a little monkey when she was born, and now this kind of ugliness is nothing!"
Listening to Xia Xing's hearty laughter outside the door, Xia Xueer rolled her eyes helplessly, she really had the urge to strangle him! He looks like this, and everyone loves him, so only he will say that he is ugly!
But Xia Xing is a person who knows etiquette in the end, no matter how frolicking and unrestrained he is on weekdays, he also knows how to avoid it, although he has always only regarded Xia Xueer as a little child. After listening to Cuizhu's reminder, although he was joking, he didn't really rush into the house without any scruples, but honestly waited outside the door. It's just that this third sister, who has never liked to sleep lazy, what's wrong with today, it's already past three o'clock and she hasn't dressed up yet!
"Second brother, if you talk too much, beware of being struck by lightning!" Xia Xue'er's voice full of resentment came out.
"Yo yo yo, how can you little girl curse your brother like this! Didn't I just tell the truth! ”
"Is your sister really that ugly? Another day, I will pestering my mother to tell you all the bad things when you were a child, and see if you dare to say that I look like a little monkey in the future! ”
"Hah...... Hahaha! ”
Through the thin window paper, Xia Xing's embarrassing laughter came into the house, when did this little girl learn to threaten people!
Listening to the intermittent laughter at that time, Xia Xue'er couldn't help but laugh again in her heart, and the depression in her heart seemed to have disappeared!
The second brother came to her at this time, presumably because he had something to say, but listening to the tone of his voice, there is a chance that it will be a fun thing! After hurriedly dressing up, he sat in front of the mirror and drew a light makeup, just waiting for Dongmei to wear a bun.
Looking at the watery person in the mirror, he still couldn't help but praise him, with a smile in his eyebrows, and even his eyebrows were raised! Over the past year or so, although I have gradually adapted to this face that has captivated the country and the city, I am often amazed by my own beauty!
With a flick of his eyes, he inadvertently saw that there seemed to be a knail-sized depression on the dressing table, and he couldn't help but be driven by curiosity, so he leaned closer to his face and opened his eyes to look closely, only to find that it was actually a painting! That's right, although the pattern lines are extremely simple, and the natural texture of wood is integrated, it looks quite abstract at a glance, but Xia Xueer still recognizes it!
Suddenly recalled the ink painting I saw by chance when I was in Taoyuan before, the scorching back was still floating in my mind, and the small words engraved on the bronze mirror:
I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads are inseparable
In addition, the painting found now is really reminiscent!
It seems that there is an arrangement in the dark, a pair of invisible hands, connecting her with her, a shell, two souls, countless identities, entangled and intertwined for a while......
Dongmei was giving Xia Xue'er a Lingyun bun, and when she reached the critical place, she suddenly poked her head forward, staring at the fingernail-sized painting engraved a few days ago with bright eyes, and she didn't know what she was trying to write. Recalling her whim a few days ago in the middle of the night, she lit a candle and lay on this dresser to engrave one stroke at a time, the knife flashed brightly, a little terrifying in the dim candlelight, and when carving this painting, others were not allowed to peek at it, and there was no mention of a word afterwards, why is it so stupid to look at it now?
So he said jokingly: "Miss, aren't you afraid of the slaves and maids peeking in?" ”
Xia Xue'er didn't look back after hearing this, her two eyes seemed to be glued to the abstract painting, she couldn't move away, and what was even more inexplicable was that a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously, which was what scared her the most!
Trying his best to restrain the fear in his heart, he suppressed the words that kept bursting out of his mind, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Is this...... Who drew this? ”
"You're joking with the slaves again!" Dongmei pursed her lips and replied in a relaxed tone, "Isn't this what you carved a few days ago?" Why did you come back to the test slave maid! ”
Did she engrave it herself? Stroke by stroke...... Stroke by stroke......
Dongmei's words were like a huge thunder falling from the sky, mercilessly slashing on the top of Xia Xue'er's head, only to feel a shock in her body and her head buzzing. For more than a year, she has been trying to avoid it, but has this day finally come?
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Through the reflection of the bronze mirror, Dongmei saw that there seemed to be something wrong with her young lady, so she reached out in horror and gently patted her shoulder, and called softly, and there was an irrepressible tremor in her voice.
There was only one strong self-talk in my mind: no! Miss has amnesia again? I didn't get any stimulation this time! How could you not remember? How......
Wait, what's that! Why is there a red light flashing on Miss's chest?
Through the neckline of the aqua blue silk skirt, it is reflected back by the mirror, once, twice, three times......
As if she had been captured, Dongmei unconsciously stretched out her hand, just wanting to catch the red light. But before her hand touched Xia Xue'er, she felt a burst of cold aura emanating from her body, even a little cooler than the rain outside!
Xia Xue'er suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Dongmei's trembling hand stretched out to her chest suspiciously, and instinctively dodged back, Dongmei was also awakened by this action, hurriedly retracted, and looked at her hand, the cold feeling seemed to linger on her fingertips, and even a little numb. Blinked vigorously and looked at Xia Xue'er's chest, where there was no longer the red light that she had just seen, and she blinked hard in disbelief, but it was still not!
Xia Xue'er also seemed to be devoured, her eyes were a little dull, but after coming back to her senses, she tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart, and put on an ordinary face, calm and gentle. After a while, he found his voice, and his voice was mixed with a dry and hoarse question, "What's wrong?" ”
"Oh! Oh...... It's okay, it's okay! ”
Dongmei came back to her senses, hurriedly put down her hand that stopped in mid-air, and secretly glanced at Xia Xue'er, the bronze mirror reflected her beautiful face, the person was still the same person, the face was still the same face, it didn't seem to have changed anything compared to before, and there was no trace of something wrong with her expression!
It's just that she ignored the sadness that flashed in her eyes.
"Okay, no?"
Xia Xing's somewhat impatient voice sounded at the right time, Dongmei hurriedly picked up the comb again, looked at the bun in front of her that had not been completed, took a deep breath, and started again.
