Chapter 29: Encounter

PS: Listen to the editor's words, there will be a change today~

The capital is full of dignitaries and nobles, and there is a huge area in the south of the city, called Lihu, which is said to be a pair of lovers who failed to stay together in ancient times.

Speaking of which, the legend of the lake, and the rumor that the emperor and queen fell in love at first sight at the lantern festival, should be the two most widely circulated legends in the capital.

Such a beautiful legend of course attracts countless teenagers and girls who are full of beautiful fantasies about their future other half, so every important festival, especially Qixi Festival, the lake will always become the most lively place in the capital.

Now is the time when spring returns to the earth, especially suitable for outings, from the lake is naturally people come and go, large and small boats shuttle non-stop.

Feng Zhige was standing on the edge of the lake at this time.

The warm spring sun gently sprinkled on her, bringing a melting warmth, so comfortable that people want to squint.

A lake away from the lake spring water in the sun looks sparkling and extraordinary, the girl in Tsing Yi stands alone by the lake, although there is no maid and wife waiting around, it seems that the family background is not obvious, but the bearing is calm, far beyond the ladies of the same age in Beijing.

A lake breeze with a slight moisture blew gently, raising the corners of the cyan clothes and making a few naughty strands of hair fly up the girl's cheeks.

The plain white slender fingers lifted slightly, and pressed the hair back behind the ears, but the touching white light on the fingertips shook the eyes of others.

Beside Feng Zhige, there was a person who was looking at her, or to be precise, he had been looking at her for a long time.

It was a young man who looked a few years older than Feng Zhige.

Although he is in the best age of his life, the man is obviously not very happy, not only is his body very thin, his face is as pale as paper, he looks like he has grown up in a medicine jar since he was a child, even the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are also a little depressed all the time.

The man was wearing a very low-key and common azure straight shirt, but only the most vicious people could see the value of the material of his clothes, and obviously his background would not be ordinary. In particular, the dignity faintly revealed by his thin and thin body can let the discerning person know that this person is not good.

A young man, but staring intently at another girl who was clearly not out of the cabinet, if this was to be replaced by someone else. I'm afraid I'm afraid I've already screamed indecently.

But Feng stopped singing, but he kept smiling and watching the beautiful scenery of the lake in spring, completely ignoring the sight full of scrutiny coming from his side.

Even, she was in a good mood and lowered her body slightly, half-crouching on the sturdy guardrail by the lake. The cyan garment was also attached to the balustrade, which was made of white stone, and for a moment the contrast between the blue and white became particularly conspicuous.

The man next to him had a little more interest in his eyes.

His origin, and the teachings he has always received, determined that he would not be a womanizer, and at first he would set his eyes on the girl standing alone by the lake next to him, and he would only look at it casually.

However, just now, with the lake as the background. The scene of the girl's clothes fluttering lightly and raising her hand to pull her hair made him subconsciously feel as if he had seen this scene somewhere.

Where?

The man was sure that it was the first time he had seen the girl around him, so the familiarity came a little abruptly.

That's why he looked at Feng Zhige with such a presumptuous gaze.

It's just that he didn't expect that under his somewhat aggressive gaze, this strange girl's reaction was a little unexpected for him.

The man is actually not in a good mood, since he first came to the lake when he was a child, he would come here every time he was in a bad mood. As long as he meditates here for a moment, his reason will always lock all the negative feelings in his heart, and not let them affect him.

It's bizarre. When he saw that the girl beside him didn't care about any manners at all, and didn't care about the disapproving eyes of passers-by in the distance, and leisurely leaned down on the stone railing, the man's feelings, which had not been sorted out, suddenly calmed down.

Thinking about it, he suddenly realized. He has grown so big that he never seems to have left everything behind and only thought about his own preferences like the girl next to him.

It seems that the most presumptuous thing he has ever done is to leave everyone behind and calm down from the lake like today.

Do what you want to do......

Just think about it, he seems to feel the beauty of freedom.

For the first time in his life, the man also put aside all his worries and wanted to be presumptuous.

After looking at the girl with the stone fence beside her, and then looking at the delicately polished white stone guardrail in front of him, the man gestured in his heart, and finally gave up the plan to go up, but chose to sit on the guardrail facing the lake, and the two dangling legs couldn't stop swaying back and forth.

The man's health is not good, just such a simple action, even an ordinary seven or eight-year-old child can do it lightly, but coming to him made him a little out of breath for a while, and even his original pale face turned a little red because of this, but he looked a little more angry.

The guardrail is about the width of two palms of an adult, and it is no big problem to sit on a person, but it is still a little dangerous to sit facing away from the lake like this.

In just a moment, the man could already hear the exclamations of other passers-by when they saw him.

However, the girl next to him who was a little interested still didn't even give him a look.

The curiosity in the man's heart was even greater.

No matter how calm and calm a person is, he knows that the people around him may want to find a short-term view, even if he ignores it, he will take a look at it, but how can this girl who meets by chance be so calm?

Looking at the appearance of this girl, she is only fourteen or fifteen years old at most, shouldn't a woman of this age be the most lively and active age?

Curious, the man became interested in talking to the girl next to him.

"This girl ......"

Just like sitting on the guardrail before, it was also the first time in his life that the man took the initiative to talk to someone.

Feng Zhige was originally looking at a few wild ducks in the distance in the lake, but when he heard the voice, he looked around for a moment before pointing to himself and looking at the man: "Are you talking to me?" ”

The man nodded repeatedly.

Feng Zhige felt strange in her heart, was she accosted?

The third life is a human being, and this is the first time.

"Something?" Blinking, Feng Zhige asked.

The question in Feng Zhige's tone was too obvious, but the man could only choke a little for a while.

If this girl still hasn't seen his movements, but at this time. Seeing with her own eyes that the people around her have a tendency to seek short-sightedness, how can she ask herself so calmly if there is something wrong?

He barely jumped into the water, how could he make her feel okay?

There was silence for a long time before the man said again: "Girl." Don't you see, in fact, I want to kill myself. ”

He said it seriously, and the dull gloom that flashed in his eyes proved that he wasn't joking.

"You want to kill yourself......"

The long tail note made the man think that next, Feng Zhige should persuade him to give up this plan, but he didn't expect Feng Zhige to play his cards according to reason at all.

He raised his hand and shook it. Feng Zhige said with a smile: "This son, if you don't want to leave, don't worry, I won't stop you." ”

Twice in a row, he choked on the same person and couldn't speak, and the man only felt uncomfortable in his heart, but after that, his heart, which had been pressed by a boulder since he was a child, was much more relaxed.

Retracting his gaze from the strange girl in Tsing Yi, the man looked at the vast lake in front of him, suddenly closed his eyes, and released his hands from the stone fence and opened them like flying birds.

This kind of action is indeed a little more dangerous than Fang Cai.

"Girl. Why do you say that people have to have so many bodies to live their lives? Even life and death, sometimes you can't help but make your own decisions? The man asked suddenly.

"I'm not you, I don't have so many bodies to help myself." Feng Zhige opened her mouth lightly, there was still no superfluous expression on her face, she was a human being in her third life, and she had seen too many life and death, and the life and death of an ordinary person really couldn't move her.

"Still." Turning his head and scrutinizing the man, Feng Zhige said, "I don't know why you can't help yourself, but I do." If you really want to die, then there is no one in this world who can let you live. ”

It's really too easy to want to die, if a person really has the will to die. Even if others tied him up, they couldn't stop him from seeking death.

For example, An Guogong Xiao Li, who is still lying on the hospital bed.

Compared with Xiao Li, the man in front of him, who may have some stories, can really only be called moaning and groaning without illness by Feng Zhige.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "The girl is right, it is indeed me who is hypocritical." ”

There was silence again, the man turned his head to look at Feng Zhige, this girl obviously didn't want to talk to him more, but the strange thing was that he, who was not a talker in the first place, wanted to talk to her at this time.

"Girl, if it were you, no matter how hard you tried, you wouldn't be recognized by others, what would you do?" The man said again.

Feng Zhige's eyebrows raised slightly.

What's going on, is it possible that she has the words "I'm friendly" written on her face, in the past few days, one by one, two, three have inexplicably talked to her about her heart, and she has really become a confidant sister?

I was going to ignore it, but it's boring to wait anyway, and after all, it's just a person who meets in Pingshui, the capital is so big, maybe I'll never see it again after this farewell, and it doesn't hurt to say a few words.

Just think she's a confidant sister these days, and be addicted.

Feng Zhige swallowed back the rejection that came to his mouth, but thought seriously for a while before he said: "First, you are too stupid, otherwise you won't be recognized for your efforts." Second, you are too weak, only the weak need recognition from others, and the strong do not. Third, you have expectations for the person who doesn't agree with you, otherwise you wouldn't be frustrated by the disapproval of someone who doesn't care. ”

"However, if it's me......" Feng Zhige thought about it, and finally only came up with this answer, "I'm probably a little smarter than you, and I won't work hard but not be recognized by others, and I don't care if others agree with me or not." ”

Once again, the man felt powerless.

When a normal person hears this question, shouldn't they comfort him, why is this girl still afraid that he is not sad enough, every word is shocking.

However, after thinking about these words carefully, the man was also a little distracted for a while.

This girl is right, he has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and if it weren't for the fact that his family could afford his medicine jar, I am afraid that he would have died soon after birth.

And the qualifications are really ordinary, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have disappointed those around him who had high hopes for him again and again over the years.

tried his best, but all he got for more than ten years was a disappointed look. Even though he had been used to it all these years, he still felt a little sad when he thought about it.

If it weren't for the lack of other options, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the status he has today.

Thinking of all this, the man was a little distracted for a while.

In fact, he was very envious of the freedom and pride in the tone of the girl next to him. It's something he's never gotten when he's grown so big.

He has only lived for twenty years, and when he counts it down, it seems that he has never lived for himself, and everything he does is just to achieve that person's goal. so that he could touch his head and give a faint compliment.

However, this image will always only appear in his imagination.

The truth is that no matter how hard he tries to succeed in what he does, when that person looks at him, there is always only disappointment in his eyes that cannot be hidden.

It's as if that person has been comparing him to another person who doesn't have zĂ i, and the result of the comparison is, unsurprisingly, his fiasco.

The feeling of living in the shadow of another person who does not have zĂ i. Let him yearn for that person's approval all these years, but at the same time, there is always a faint sense of fear.

He couldn't describe the strange feeling, but he had lived in such a shadow for so many years.

Call......

After burying words in his heart for so many years, he thought that he would not sue anyone, but he didn't expect that in front of this strange girl he met by chance, he could easily say everything.

After finishing speaking, the man only felt that the boulder that had been pressed in his heart for a long time instantly became much lighter, and it was unprecedentedly easier.

Feng Zhige, who had been talked about for so long, looked at the man with a relaxed face. I secretly rolled my eyes in my heart.

It's really inexplicable, how long has this person not spoken to anyone, how can he just catch someone like this, or. He just used her like a throwaway bin?

This speculation made Feng Zhige feel a little unhappy.

Seeing the delicate two-story painting boat sailing towards him from the lake, Feng Zhige raised his lips and said to the man: "I said, you have this time to be sad here, why don't you think about it, what can you do so that the person you care about can agree with you earlier?" ”

was reminded by Feng Zhige. The man finally relaxed a little, and his mood suddenly became dull, and when he looked at Feng Zhige again, he unconsciously had some complaints in his eyes.

There is some rare closeness between the demeanors.

At this time, the painting boat had already sailed to the gap in the guardrail, Feng Zhige no longer looked at the man, walked down the half-soaked steps in a few steps, and got on the boat with the support of the boat lady.

Until the painting boat that Feng Zhige was riding gradually drove away, the man who stayed in place was still staring in that direction.

He was, he was thrown down silently?

For the first time in his third life, the man felt a little unhappy because of a person with whom he had only one face, although even he knew very well that he didn't even know the girl's last name.

But......

The capital is so big, such a special girl will definitely not be annihilated among those noble girls who are like a mold, and there will always be a chance to see you again.

Moreover, didn't everyone in the family persuade him to get married? It's better to get down, if you can get someone as special as Fang Cai's girl to accompany you for a lifetime, it won't be so uncomfortable......

The man was immersed in his own thoughts, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

Before he could react, a pair of hands came from behind him, hugging the man's waist, and then there was a howl of ghosts and wolves that were so loud that people couldn't help but want to reach out and pull out their ears.

"Childe, the slave's son, don't think about it, if you have something long and short, then the slave can only follow Childe on Huangquan Road......" The person who came was a little guy who looked the same age as the man.

Such a shouting and screaming attracted a lot of attention in just a moment.

Noticing the strange eyes of the people around him, the man took a deep breath, "Let go." ”

Obviously, his tone was very calm, but the little guy who was screaming was as if he had heard something terrible, and he was so frightened that he instantly let go of his hand, but then realized the current situation, and carefully stretched out his hand to pull the man's sleeve, "Childe, you are in danger like this, let's hurry down, Mr. is also here." ”

The man originally had no expression on his face, but when he heard the word "sir", he suddenly turned around, saw the old man standing quietly behind him, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly turned over from the stone fence with both hands and feet, and tossed a blush on his face, before bowing down to the old man: "Teacher!" ”

The old man known as Mr. looked about half a hundred years old, with a thin face, wearing only a simple Confucian robe, with an ebony hairpin on his head, and his hands behind his back.

The old man's wise eyes swept over the man, and then he said calmly, "Go back." ”

The man lowered his head a little ashamedly, "Teacher, the student has disappointed you. ”

The old man shook his head slightly, but did not say anything, but turned around and walked away slowly.

Seeing this, the man didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly followed, and after taking two steps, he couldn't help but look back at the lake that was already empty, and then a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind.

He finally remembered why Fang thought that girl was a little familiar.

In his father's study, on the painting that has been treasured for many years like a treasure, the girl in Tsing Yi stands with her back to the lake, isn't that the picture he just saw...... (To be continued.) )
