Chapter 39: Affection
Ever since he became friends with Chang Runzhi, there was something wrong with him.
The first time we met, it was in the Drunken Immortal Building. He turned his back to her and her brother, and listened to her talk to her brother, whether he reasoned seriously or persuaded softly, then he could only feel that this was a woman with wisdom and ideas, and a good sister who loved her brother. He admired her at the time, and his heart throbbed slightly, but it was very slight, so that he quickly ignored the past.
The second time they met was in the palace, where his mother lived in the tourmaline courtyard. She had just suffered and was in poor health, but she courteously greeted him with courtesy, behaved appropriately, and made the best choice when she was caught in a conspiracy, so that he was once again impressed with her.
He knew that this woman was the sister of his fifth sister-in-law, and her fifth sister-in-law wanted to match the two of them.
From then on, he seemed to have his heart set on her.
The third time we met, it was the day before yesterday, and we met unexpectedly on the street. He thought they had a good conversation, and he invited her to a meal, and she promised to give him two packets of tea.
When he returned, he began to wait for her gift with joy, thinking about the two meals she owed, and hoping that they would meet again. One more time, and one more time......
When he thinks like this, a sweet feeling wells up in his heart.
He wanted to give her something, but he was afraid that it would be inappropriate; wanted to get closer to her, but was afraid that she would think he behaved like Meng Lang......
He felt that such a feeling was unacceptable to others, so he didn't even say anything about his closest fifth brother.
Twenty-one years of life, this is the first time he has suffered such gains and losses.
He vaguely understood that he was concerned about her.
It made him happy.
And when he heard that she was pestering her with her divorced ex-husband, he felt sad and angry.
Such a sentiment is violent and cannot be ignored.
He wasn't a blank slate, and he woke up when her brother asked him "what's wrong?"
What's wrong with him?
Yes.
He liked her.
He Liu Tong likes Chang Runzhi.
Chang Runzhi knelt down and sat up, handed a cup of tea to Liu Tong, and said softly: "Ninth Prince, please drink tea." ”
She tried to keep smiling, but she couldn't stop smiling.
Where did you provoke the Nine Emperors?
Just because of the mention of a Fang Shuozhang?
Chang Runzhi was a little flustered in his heart, and his hand serving tea was also a little unstable.
Liu Tong's dark face suddenly turned around.
He quickly reached out to take the tea, and the tips of his fingers slid over the slightly cool back of Chang Runzhi's hand, causing Chang Runzhi to tremble slightly.
Liu Tong crossed a happy smile in his eyes, took the tea lid, took a sip, and tasted the sweetness of the tea.
Chang Runzhi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak, but Liu Tong took the lead and said, "You haven't answered the question just now." ”
The question just now?
What's the problem?
Chang Runzhi was stunned for a moment.
Liu Tong didn't wait for her to think about it, and repeated: "I asked you just now, that Fang Shuozhang, do you want to marry you again?" ”
Chang Runzhi smiled awkwardly and said, "This ......"
"He didn't dare!" Chang Ou said on the side: "Mother won't let him in." ”
Liu Tong suddenly asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"The day before yesterday, he came to see his father with a gift, and his mother asked him to reply that he was not there, and sent him away." Chang Ou rarely talked about gossip with others, and he was very excited: "Later, my mother also gave an order, saying that he was a beast, and he didn't need to notify the house in the future, just let him go." ”
Chang Runzhi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"In the future, when these cats and dogs come to the door, don't notify the masters, just go back."
These are the exact words of Mrs. Hou.
The people in the house used false rumors, but when it came to Chang Ou's mouth, it turned out to be like this.
But Liu Tong was very happy when he heard it.
"Mrs. Hou really said that?"
"Of course." Chang Ou raised his chin: "I don't like my first third brother-in-law either, he is far worse than my eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law." ”
Chang Runzhi had to interrupt him loudly: "You said everything, what do you know at a young age?" Let the Ninth Prince see the joke. ”
Chang Ou pursed his mouth, snorted, got up and said, "Don't listen to me, forget it, it just so happens that Mr. Storyteller is coming out at this time, I'll go outside the lobby to listen to the story." ”
After speaking, Chang Ou went out of the screen in a hurry.
Chang Runzhi hurriedly called someone to follow him.
turned his head, but saw Liu Tong looking at her with a smile.
Chang Runzhi couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, feeling that his face was a little burning.
"Xiao Si has no scruples about talking, don't take it seriously......" Chang Runzhi lowered his head and said softly.
Liu Tong shook his head: "He is your younger brother, what he said, how can I not take it seriously?" ”
"The ...... of the Ninth Prince"
"My name is Liu Tong." Liu Tong looked at her seriously: "You can call me Ah Tong." ”
Chang Runzhi's face suddenly turned red.
Call a man by his name, or by such an affectionate name......
She's not used to it.
She and the Nine Emperor Princes are at best ordinary friends who have just met.
How can you call him that?
Chang Runzhi shook his head, calmed down his somewhat unsettled heart, and looked up at Liu Tong: "Nine Emperor Princes, we are not so familiar with ...... yet."
"Indeed." Liu Tong didn't deny it, he smiled gently: "So, I want to be more familiar with you." ”
Chang Runzhi was stunned.
"I want to know you better. Would you like to? ”
Liu Tong looked at her with burning eyes.
Chang Runzhi's thoughts drifted a little.
It's not that she hasn't liked boys, and it's not that she hasn't been liked by boys. This kind of heartbeat is racing, and people are a little dizzy, she has experienced it.
Those four words kept running through my head.
Would you like to?
Would you like to?
Would you, willing?
In Liu Tong's eager gaze, Chang Runzhi remained silent.
And Liu Tong always fixed his eyes on her face, staring at her eyes, as if he wanted to look into her heart.
Chang Runzhi is thinking.
She is not an emotional person, on the contrary, she is sensible. is also because of her sanity, sometimes it seems that she is very ruthless.
She didn't think about pursuing any true love in such an era, she was very realistic, she would marry and have children according to the requirements of the old lady and Xiao Han, and live her life with a husband and children.
And it just so happens that this person, the old lady belongs to Liu Tong.
She has contacted Liu Tong, and she also recognizes him, if they can really become husband and wife, she doesn't mind respecting him as a guest, treating him as a partner, helping each other in the same boat, sharing ups and downs.
But this does not include talking about "feelings".
In this era when it is legal for men to take concubines, if she gives her feelings to Liu Tong, and Liu Tong wants to take concubines in the future......
She couldn't stop it.
She never had a second chance to reconcile.
"I want to get acquainted with you a little more."
"I want to know you better."
"Would you like to?"
Chang Runzhi couldn't help but look at Liu Tong's eyes.
His eyes, inherited from the bloodline of the Western Regions of the Yu nobles, glowed with a faint blue cold light, which seemed so deep that people could almost immerse themselves in this blue.
Chang Runzhi could read it from his eyes.
He's serious.
