Ah Mo frowned, "Jinghua, don't drink it, keep coughing." ”
Jinghua coughed a few more times, but smiled while coughing: "I'm fine." Momo, I'm happy today, you let me drink a little more. ”
Ah Mo was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Jinghua, you said that if two people don't really love each other, then what's the taste of being together? ”
Jinghua was silent for a moment, and said gloomily: "Sometimes, I can't help myself. ”
Ah Mo looked at him, the strength of the wine just now had passed, and his face turned pale again, which made her heart sour.
I don't know why, from the moment he realized it, even though he was smiling at himself most of the time, there was always an indescribable sadness hidden in those smiles. He always seemed to have something on his mind, and those things were big and heavy, one after another, and he couldn't breathe.
"Jinghua. ”
"Huh?"
"Why are you always unhappy? You tell me that I'm going to help you no matter what. ”
She grabbed his cold hand and said sincerely, "Are you worried about your illness?"
Jinghua smiled, her hand was small and warm, it was the temperature he was most greedy for, but he still pulled it out sensibly. I have fallen to the bottom of the cold and dark valley, so it is enough to stay alone, don't drag her down anymore, and finally even she will become cold with her.
"I have nothing to worry about, and I'm not unhappy. ”
He looked into her eyes, their eyes dark and bottomless, he coughed a few times in a suppressed manner, and said in that low, nice voice, "But promise me, Momo." You have to be happy at all times, just like you are now. Just look at you and smile, and I'll be happy. ”
Ah Mo smiled and stretched out his little finger, "Okay! This is easy, I like to laugh the most! Jinghua, let's tick the check, and if you tick the check, you won't be allowed to rely on it! As long as I'm happy in the future, Jinghua will be happy too!"
Jinghua smiled indulgently and held out her finger as well.
After hooking his fingers, Ah Mo's eyes rolled and said, "Jinghua, you also tell me a story, I'm done talking, now I'll replace you." ”
"Me?" Jinghua was a little embarrassed, shook her head lightly, and said, "I won't tell this kind of story." ”
"Don't, you can say anything, I love to hear it. She pleaded.
He looked at her with bright eyes, a look of anticipation, and a little girlish coquettishness, and finally couldn't bear to refuse, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Okay, I'll tell you a story too." ”
At this time, the actors on the stage had already finished singing. There weren't a few customers left in the restaurant. Jinghua's voice was as low as Xun, as if she was turning pages of distant memories, and in the silent night, it was moving.
He said slowly, once upon a time, there was a boy.
No sooner had the boy been born than his mother died. At first, his father and brother also loved him. But later, his father, because of the family relationship, had to marry another woman, and soon added him a half-brother.
The boy was not in good health and often got sick. My father was busy with official duties and had little time to take care of him. The elder brother and younger brother are boys after all, and they have their own things to do. At this time, a girl came to their house, the adopted daughter of his stepmother. The girl was gentle and attentive, and she always came to take care of him and made him feel very warm.
The two of them grew up like childhood sweethearts, old enough to talk about marriage. The girl wanted to marry the boy, and the boy took it for granted that he should marry her. At this time, the girl's adoptive mother, the boy's stepmother, gave the boy a problem and asked him to complete a task, and when he returned, he agreed to their marriage.
Ah Mo has been listening quietly, and when she heard this, she couldn't help sighing, and Chu Chu said: "This boy is so pitiful, I really hope he can be happy and be with the girl he likes." ”
A sad smile appeared at the corner of Jinghua's mouth, "You also think he is pitiful?"
Ah Mo thought for a while and said, "It's not pitiful, it's just ...... It made me feel very distressed when I heard it. I hope he can be okay and happy. ”
Jinghua's eyes darkened. The word "pitiful" came out of Ah Mo's mouth, making him feel uncomfortable. He didn't like people to see him that way, especially her.
The task was a bit troublesome, and the boy was afraid that he would not be able to come back. So before leaving, he gave his scales to the girl, wanting her to know that no matter whether he could come back or not, his heart was always given to her wholeheartedly, so that she could rest assured.
"Zhen Scale?" Ah Mo blinked, "This boy is from the Yinlong family?"
"You also know Zhen Scales?" Jing Hua asked, looking up from behind his glass.
"Well, I heard my brother and sister say that the Zhenzhi scales of the Yinlong family, as well as the Yinlong Wing, are different from our Canglong, especially the Yinlong Wing, which can cover tens of millions of miles after being unfolded, and can penetrate the sky and the earth. ”
Jinghua smiled a little bitterly and continued.
The boy fought bloodily and finally completed the mission, and when he finally returned home, he found that his stepmother had married the girl to his biological brother.
"What?" Ah Mo was taken aback: "Doesn't his stepmother know that the two love each other?"
"Yes. ”
"You know how it would be?" she ...... Did she do it on purpose?"
Jinghua's eyes were dark and dark, and he didn't make a sound.
Ah Mo slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "It's so hateful! This stepmother really has no humanity at all! So, what should that boy do? Did he immediately go to his father and explain that his chastity has been given to that girl, let his father call the shots, and cancel the family affair!"
"Momo, didn't I say that there are many things that I can't help myself. Jinghua couldn't tell if he was a little tired or a little bored, holding the wine glass, and he didn't have much energy.
Ah Mo was filled with righteous indignation, and said excitedly: "Then his father, and the eldest brother who wants to be the groom's official, are they wood? Just let that stepmother beat the mandarin ducks? After all, it is his own relatives, why not prevent this from happening? And the boy himself, since he is the person he loves the most, he must be brave and be the first to stand up and protect her!"
"How to protect?"
"He should at least go for it! What a big deal to leave everything and elope with the girl? He had the courage to take the risk for her, but why didn't he have the courage to take her away?"
She was so excited that she was a little choked, "He even gave her the scales, it can be seen that he loves her wholeheartedly, if they can't be together, how can they love others in the future?"
"Whether to give it or not to Zhen Scales, it's his own choice, what is there to say everywhere. What's more, if you say it to others, they will change the marriage because they sympathize with him? What's more, if you say it, it will be tantamount to ruining the girl's reputation, and what will her husband think in his heart?"
"Then there is no way? It can't be done, the two of them just accept their fate? Marry someone they don't like and live for the rest of their lives?"
Jinghua was silent for a while, his face was pale and calm compared to Ah Mo's restless anger, like a look of despair that he could accept even the worst outcome.
He covered his lips and coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "I said I wouldn't tell stories, you must tell me." If you know earlier, it's better not to talk about it. ”
Ah Mo pouted and muttered: "It's that the story itself is not good, and it has nothing to do with what you said." Okay, okay, you go ahead and say, I don't intervene. ”
Jing Hua was excited, there was no trace of emotion on his pale face, he rubbed his forehead, and said tiredly: "I didn't continue." This story is over. ”
Ah Mo didn't believe it, "Ah, how could it be over? What happened to them?"
Jinghua seemed to be very tired, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes for a while before opening his eyes and said slowly: "They didn't come back, and they didn't do anything." Momo, you can also live if you marry someone you don't like, and you can live if you lose your chastity. In this world, not everyone is destined to be happy. ”
Like me.
There was a moment of silence.
Ah Mo saw that although he didn't say anything, he frowned on his forehead from time to time, and he looked very tired compared to the time when he listened to his story before. She was a little apprehensive in her heart, and she didn't know if she was impulsively commenting indiscriminately, which made him unhappy, and she said tentatively: "Jinghua, why don't you speak?
She stuck out her tongue and said cautiously: "Every family has its own difficulties, I don't know about that boy's family affairs, and it's not good to speculate and comment casually with common sense, it's not right for me." Jinghua, don't be angry. ”
Jinghua opened his eyes and smiled reluctantly, "Where do you want to go, I'm just a little tired, so I'll just be quiet for a while." Momo, that story, it's just a story, you can just hear it, you don't have to take it seriously. ”
Ah Mo sighed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not true! Alas, it's good if it's not true, otherwise I'll die pitifully. Her eyes were a little red, and although she already knew it wasn't true, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy in the story.
Jinghua was still smiling, but her face seemed to be getting paler.
She thinks you're pitiful!
Xuanyuan Jinghua, what are you pretending! He laughed at himself in his heart, what's the use of you pretending to be so hard? She just doesn't know now, and once she knows, she will treat the boy in that story with the same attitude as she did towards the boy in that story - feel sorry for you!
Actually, what she said is right, you have nothing to complain about. You are really pitiful, you have no ability to protect your lover! You really accepted your fate like this, and you didn't do anything! You even lost your chastity in vain, wasted your cultivation, and made yourself so embarrassed!
The mother died for you, and the father and eldest brother took care of themselves, if one day, if one day you really ran out of spiritual power, and died outside, I don't know how long it will take for the heavenly court to find out?
Hehehehe...... Speaking of the back, even he felt funny, and the laughter echoed in his heart, causing a chill in his body. The intermittent colic pain in the heart has spread to the entire chest, and even the left arm and back have a faint pain.
