- The fire in the stove brightened, and most of the smoke in the kitchen quickly dissipated.

Lin Shan put down the bamboo tube sideways, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Jiu standing next to the stove looking at him with a somewhat stunned look.

Lin Shan asked casually, "What are you looking at?" "Pick up another manuscript at random.

"Look at you." Chen Jiu replied in a daze, still standing in place.

"Huh?" Lin Shan's hand was about to flip through the book slightly, and suddenly a sentence came out: "Is there something on your face?" After saying that, he felt as if there was an itch somewhere on his face, so he stretched out his fingers and scraped it.

This scrape really wiped a trace of firewood dust on his finger on his face.

Looking at Lin Shan's face as if there was an extra black cat whisker, Chen Jiu couldn't hold back his laughter, and finally stopped standing by the stove, she took out the handkerchief tucked in her sleeve, first went to the water tank and scooped half a scoop of water to wet it, and then walked back, squatted down beside Lin Shan again, and wiped his face with a handkerchief.

The man in front of him had a gentle smile on his face again.

Because it was so close, Chen Jiu felt that this warmth was almost about to melt in front of her eyes, and some of it was about to dazzle her eyes.

Fortunately, she and he didn't keep looking at each other like this.

Chen Jiu's eyes floated, and the corner of his eye suddenly saw a little red stained by Lin Shan's sleeves, and she felt a pain in her heart when she remembered the lump of blood he suddenly coughed up just now. But she soon silently told herself that she must let go of the knot in her heart, and at the same time she must find a way to open the knot outside her heart.

Lin Shan's chest still had wrinkles on his shirt, which he had just grabbed by himself. Chen Jiu hesitated slightly. So he reached over and stroked it, and asked with the question, "What happened to you just now?" In the past, you were only like this when you were seriously injured, and the old pharmacist said that you were suffering from ischemia at that time, and you haven't done it again for almost a year after you recovered from your injury, but now what's going on? ”

Lin Shan didn't say anything to comfort her, but said more directly: "Actually, you know why, don't you? You know that my illness is not in my body, but in my heart. ”

If he said this, if he heard it to Liao Shi, he would have to confuse the senior pharmacist with strong theoretical intelligence. What is not in the heart or in the body? Isn't the body and mind one?

But Chen Jiu could understand that the body and mind in his words were often alienated. He was always dealing with things with the sanity he was accustomed to. There is little or no choice based on the mind alone. Because as long as his emotions touch a ban somewhere in his heart, they will become very fragile and fragile.

Women are naturally sensual, and in addition to Chen Jiu's delicate sensibility in women's thinking, she is also a woman who knows many things about Lin Shan's past, and constantly swings between her confidant and lover and can't find her own identity.

So when she heard him respond to her words in a plausible tone. She was stunned: it turned out that he also knew it.

Of course, Lin Shan knew where his heart disease was.

If before. He would only choose to avoid touching that place. But today, when hugging the woman in front of him, he suddenly made a decision secretly.

He decided not to run away once. At least today, he's going to face it head-on.

The discomfort in his heart surged again, Lin Shan stopped turning the book, the hand holding the manuscript book gradually tightened, he lowered his eyes slightly and said: "There is a woman living in my heart, this is something that you know alone. She has lived there for more than ten years, and if she is driven away for a while, it is not normal to be stabbed for it. ”

"But...... I can't see you hurting yourself for a shadow that has disappeared for so many years......" The slightly wet handkerchief slid to the ground, Chen Jiu couldn't care to pick it up, she tightly grasped Lin Shan's hand that was gently covering her knee, and her fingers were slightly cool, "I've always been by your side, why can your attention only be on the shadow in your heart?" I see you frowning and tired, and your heart will feel bad, but can you feel these feelings of mine? ”

Lin Shan's gaze drooped, and he couldn't see clearly what kind of waves were in his eyes at this time, but his shoulders suddenly stiffened, and this subtle reaction was magnified in the eyes of Chen Jiu, who was extremely close to him.

"Why can't we just try to forget?" Chen Jiu asked, "I can feel that you have been taking responsibility for her, but what have you done to be sorry for her?" I just feel that if she were still alive, not only could she not blame you, but she should also be grateful to you. If it weren't for your persistence and so many years of dedication, it would have been difficult for her daughter to grow up healthy. ”

"No, I have something to be sorry for her." Lin Shan sighed softly, the uncomfortable feeling in his chest gradually became more and more obvious, he had to put aside the topic slightly, and let himself slow down, "Did that old ghost who can't grow a head anymore, but whose tongue can still grow, tell you about a certain rule in my sect?" ”

Of course, Chen Jiu remembered very clearly the words that Liao Shi explained to her just a few days ago. Because although it was only a fragment of explanation, it solved one of the biggest mysteries in Chen Jiu's heart, a reason why Lin Shan was indifferent no matter how hard she tried to get close.

Faced with his question, Chen Jiu nodded and asked, "Just because of this?" Even if you once rejected her, she later married the emperor and was named Concubine Xian, and she was already happy. ”

"I used to think so, too." Lin Shan said in a low voice, "She also thinks so, if she marries the emperor, she has her status, fine clothes and food, and her feelings can be cultivated slowly." But she failed, so she didn't get happiness. ”

"But can you say that such a failure is all your responsibility?" Chen Jiu originally looked at this matter from Lin Shan's camp, but when she heard the meaning of self-blame in his tone, she couldn't help but defend him, "Her failure may also be because one of the two people in the marriage is not deep enough to love, or both of them just come together in shape." It is not difficult to imagine that an emperor loves too many things, but his identity indirectly requires him to be fraternity, but fraternity may be the greatest affection; And if a woman doesn't have enough love, let alone such a decisive and assertive woman, she will certainly not compromise lightly. ”

The words of the old wine made Lin Shan gain some unfamiliar but clear insights. But the sense of guilt in his heart not only did not get sorted out, but grew more and more. He took a deep breath and said, "If I hadn't rejected her, she wouldn't have had to make such a dangerous attempt." ”

"A dangerous attempt?" Chen Jiu was puzzled.

Lin Shan said softly: "More than ten years ago, when I just left the Great Wilderness Mountain, although she was already very close to Wang Chi, she regarded him as a confidant and friend. At that time, she often said that one was that a woman could become a close friend of a man, and the other was that she would never marry an emperor. ”

Before it was burned again, the Great Wilderness Mountain had always been a place for the mysterious Northern Fence School. The majestic peak pierces the sky. Yin and yang cut the dawn. Although he occasionally felt bored when he studied with his master in the grass house, Lin Shan always felt that life in the mountains was the most peaceful and peaceful part of his life.

But there can't be only one hue in the course of a person's life for decades. And he learned from that ancient school, and he was destined to be unable to avoid a storm and a beating.

However, what bothered Lin Shan the most in this life was not what he had learned. And what did you do. It's a love word.

The love words strictly forbidden by the Beili School were quietly planted in his heart by a woman who was also at the most worry-free age in his most harmonious life.

Maybe it was raining too much that day. The noise made him ignore this little movement in his heart; Or maybe it's the raindrops, the spirit that fell from the sky, gave rise to the foggy atmosphere that was passed on by Yan Ran's clever smile!

However, it wasn't until he lost it completely that he belatedly admitted the word.

Acknowledging this loss will only bring untold suffering.

Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "She explained that marrying the emperor is a very dangerous thing, I can't understand why she said that, and I didn't ...... until she died."

Thinking of his misguided life, and thinking of the cause of Ye Ziqing's death, who was about to find out the truth, Lin Shan suddenly felt a tearing pain in his heart. He couldn't help but continue to speak, but in fact a salty smell had surged up in his throat, and his crushed lips turned slightly white.

He still couldn't hide it completely, and a trace of blush quietly overflowed the corners of his lips, stinging the heart of the woman beside him.

"Don't talk about it... Don't think about it anymore, I don't want to see you sad anymore......" Chen Jiu trembled and probed the sleeves of Lin Shan's two sides. After recovering from his injury, his health was not as good as before, and he often carried a sweat towel with him. Finding the neatly folded sweat towel and handing it to him, she said, "The old medicine master said that depression hurts the lungs, and sometimes you might as well try to release the accumulated qi, maybe it will be more comfortable than enduring." ”

Lin Shan took the sweat towel handed by Chen Jiu and wiped the corners of his mouth silently, he didn't recite the nineteenth chapter of the "Book of Land Things" like just now to calm his mind, he just didn't say anything more.

He came to the north with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he didn't want to add to his burden in order to deal with some old things at this time. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated the word sealed in his heart and overestimated his ability to forget. After many years, I still haven't been able to forget that shadow.

Not thinking about it is indeed a way to cool the feelings.

Chen Jiu saw that his love had finally smoothed out, and although she hadn't yet asked for the answer she wanted, she was afraid to continue to ask again.

After many years, she followed Lin Shan's side, her identity was not a wife or a friend, and she was always in a passive position, she thought that it was really related to her lack of initiative. Liao Shi said what she said to her a few days ago, and since then, she has been thinking about it and accumulating courage. Now she finally mustered up the courage to ask, but she didn't expect that just a few words would provoke Lin Shan like this.

She was a little scared, the courage in her heart had begun to waver, and along with the courage like grass broken by the wind was her little bit of confidence...... He has not left for more than ten years, but it is still not as important as the shadow in his heart.

Sighing silently, Chen Jiu took his gaze away from Lin Shan's face and swept over the stove without any idea. For a while, he ignored the fire in his muzzle, and the fire became much darker. Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment, then picked up a scrap manuscript in the box beside him and was about to throw it into the mouth of the stove.

But at this moment, her hand holding the book was suddenly held by another hand reaching out from the side.

Chen Jiu was slightly stunned, and listened to Lin Shan say: "This book hasn't been turned over yet." ”

If it is an ordinary woman, in the face of this blocking words, she may inevitably be a little sensitive and suspicious, and feel aggrieved that she is not even allowed to touch one of his waste manuscripts. But Chen Jiu did not move this kind of cowardly thought at this time.

Maybe it's because she has a hard time as a teenager, and she has to think about choices like a man in the face of many things. to be able to bear the pressure of living alone. It may also be because she has been with Lin Shan for a long time, and there are some places in her heart that rebuild each other, allowing her to think more rationally. At this time, she just suddenly thought of some details of Lin Shan's book burning, which were all flipped over before burning.

But he flipped through the book so fast that it wasn't like reading, it was like ...... Looking for what?

Chen Jiu handed the waste manuscript book in his hand to Lin Shan, and then saw him turn it over again, facing back again, and then turning it backwards again, before he threw the waste manuscript book into the stove.

Chen Jiu leaned in with a pair of tongs and raised the fire. Then she looked back at Lin Shan. Asked softly, "Are you looking for something?" ”

"Well, I'm looking for a letter." Lin Shan didn't hide it from Chen Jiu, "Three years ago, Jiang Chao threatened me, saying that if I sent him back to Beijing halfway. The letter he was about to destroy. ”

Chen Jiu thought about it. Then he said: "It seems that the love you disdained at that time was faked. Actually, that letter is really important, otherwise you wouldn't be looking so carefully now. ”

Lin Shan said slowly: "If it can be preserved, of course, it is better than nothing." But if you have to lose it for the sake of some principle, then lose it, and it's not particularly important. ”

"But you later agreed to Jiang Chao's follow, and you still changed an initial decision for that letter." Although Lin Shan only mentioned a few words about that letter three years ago, Chen Jiu remembered the words he said very clearly, so she knew who wrote the letter, and this is also the important thing.

"I'll help you find it." Chen Jiu changed the topic, and after a slight pause, she suddenly smiled and said, "I believe that in addition to my heart, my hands are also skillful." ”

Lin Shan suddenly smiled and said, "You also need ingenuity to find things? ”

Chen Jiu's expression moved, and he pretended to be annoyed and said, "If you don't allow me to help with this, you will think I'm stupid." ”

"What kind of theory is this...... The smile on Lin Shan's face stiffened slightly, and after a moment he said again: "Okay, I don't dislike you." ”

I don't hate you.

It's just these four words, even if there is a melting warmth in the heart of Dechen Jiu, as if all the sourness, disappointment, and pain gathered in the previous question have all been dissolved.

She probably didn't even know herself, and she didn't expect much he could give her.

Slightly lowering his head, the corners of Chen Jiu's mouth hooked a faint smile, and he turned the book silently.

After a while, the gentle warmth in Chen Jiu's heart gradually settled, and she suddenly remembered a question that she had just ignored, and immediately asked: "By the way, Brother Lin, I remember that you didn't have the habit of putting things in your books before, and you once belittled it, saying that it was easy to cause loss...... How could the letter be hidden in this way? ”

"I've searched everywhere else, but I haven't found it. Although I am not sure if I lost my mind and was caught in the book one day, I can really rule out this possibility by looking for it. Lin Shan kept his eyes down and turned the book, and said slowly, "There are some bad habits that are likely to be more difficult to change than good habits once they are learned." I have been away from the Shimen School and the officialdom in Kyoto for more than ten years, and after living an unrestrained life for a long time, I naturally have some bad habits. ”

Lin Shan's words were clearly reasonable, but when Chen Jiu heard this, the shadow of another person appeared in his mind.

Of course, Chen Jiu has seen Ye Ziqing.

Although it is only a few faces, it is impressive again and again.

If it weren't for the family Jin Shankan behind this woman, who could put pressure on the treasury of the Southern Zhou Dynasty at that time, although she had no fame, she still had a high social status; If it weren't for the fact that this woman had used her own power to help the hungry in the war years, although the means of calculating her business peers were a little dirty, there were always far more people in the world who thanked her than the few people who hated her; If it weren't for the fact that she resolutely bought and changed the way the Red Square was run in the face of a lot of criticism, the women in the building would have at least had some choices of their own to entertain others, although they had not left the party...... If it weren't for that, that woman would have been a bad habit, at least in the eyes of the world.

From the young female boss who opened the Qinglou Flower Shop to the virtuous concubine Niangniang who later got pregnant and then married, that woman not only has a lot of bad habits in the eyes of the world, but she will never use her bad habits to crack and change the good cultivation of the people around her, and it is not easy to change herself because of the habits of the people around her.

However, Lin Shan's mention of this is not seen. Even if you think about it, you won't say it explicitly.

She was silent for a moment and then suddenly said, "If I have a lot of bad habits, will you be disgusted and alienated from me?" ”

Lin Shan raised his head, a little surprised why she suddenly said this, and after a little hesitation, he said calmly: "You are not bad, and I am not tired of you." ”

Yes or no, no, he rarely lingers in the "if" when he speaks.

But his words of certainty did not satisfy Chenjiu.

Chen Jiu lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Not being bored does not mean liking. ”

Lin Shan also lowered his gaze again. It seems to have fallen into some kind of contemplation.

That's when it happened. Chen Jiu, who was turning the book more and more slowly, suddenly saw a flower in front of her, and a very thin envelope appeared between the title pages of the discarded manuscript in her hand, obviously because the time had caused the original white envelope to turn yellow, and the smudge on the envelope was dull in color. It seems to be a bloodstain -- it is the letter that Jiang Chao held to blackmail Lin Shan three years ago.

Ye Ziqing has written many account pages. It's full of weird "fonts" twisted together like loaches. She didn't write much box text. First, because she doesn't like to communicate with people in that subtle way, even if she is still a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, she always has something to say to people in person; Secondly. Her handwriting was too ugly to be flattered, and she seemed to be quite face-saving when it came to writing.

The person who can get Ye Ziqing's handwriting, Lin Shan, is one of the few people.

Chen Jiu's hand froze when he turned the book, not only did he not continue to flip it, but he also did not go to get the letter, nor did he prompt Lin Shan.

There was a hint of hesitation and hesitation in her eyes.

The fire in the stove has burned extremely vigorously under the "efforts" of the two people in front of the stove, and the water and rice in the iron pot with the dense lid on the stove have begun to make a slight noise...... At this time, if she raised her hand and threw the old letter containing Lin Shan's memories into the stove with the waste manuscript and the entrainment, she would be instantly drowned in the sea of fire, and she had done this action more than ten times, and Lin Shan, who was still contemplating with slightly lowered eyes, would not see anything strange at this time.

Burn this letter, and the man in front of him will have one less thing to inherit and reminisce...... And then he can make the lingering shadow in his heart fade a little?

However, in the end, the aged wine did not really do so.

Love and loyalty are one, how much you love someone, how deep you love and be loved, no matter whether there are other cunning shaves in the world, at least Chen Jiu must be loyal to what he loves.

"Brother Lin, the letter has been found." After Chen Jiu finished saying this, when she saw Lin Shan looking up slightly stunned, she suddenly squinted and smiled: "Sure enough, I was ingenious, and I only found a few books, which saved you a lot of work." You see, do you owe me one more time? ”

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment, as if he had retracted his thoughts from his contemplation a little late.

"I owe you one more time." His tone was a little stiff, and the fingers holding the letter were slightly stiff. Just pinched the corner of the envelope, he suddenly let go of his hand again, and said in a deep voice: "I know the content of this letter, but now I suddenly feel that I can show you." ”

"No ......" Chen Jiu subconsciously immediately refused. Even with Lin Shan's consent, she always felt that reading other people's letters was an extremely awkward thing. But soon, what the old pharmacist Liao Shi said came to mind again, she looked stunned, and muttered, "Is this really okay?" ”

"After many years, the content of this letter has become a record of one thing, and no longer involves anyone's state of mind." Lin Shan spoke calmly, speaking slowly, "I was so distracted just now, you could have burned this letter with your hands, but you didn't do so, so there are some past things that you don't have to hide, and I shouldn't hide it from you anymore." ”

Chen Jiu didn't say anything more, she put down the book, opened the envelope with trembling fingers, pulled out the letterhead, and slowly unfolded it.

On this thin piece of paper, it was as if the time it was carrying suddenly had a weight, and it was the weight of thirteen years.

……

I have already thought of the name of the child, if it is a woman, it will be called Mo Ye, which means that Mo Forget Ye's family.

Although I have done things that corrupt the family rules, I still hope that the child can be included in the Ye family tree. Don't ask me why I don't call Wang Ye, first of all, if the surname Wang is the name, it won't sound good, in addition, I really hope that my daughter can grow up happily, without the title of princess, in fact, there will be more choices, not to mention which of our Ye family is not more comfortable than the palace?

If it is born to a man. Then turn it upside down, call it Ye Mo, and it will be an indifferent indifferent word, which is definitely not the ink word of the crepe.

If he is a man, he may not be able to avoid entering the ancestral hall of the royal family, and the name I gave him can only be regarded as a common name, which he uses when he visits the people or goes back to his grandfather's house. But there are also some other meanings, born in the emperor's family, you can't be as enthusiastic as me, it's better to ignore more.

What do you think? Is the name I giving my child meaningful? Senior brother, make a decision, even though you have always refused to admit that you are my senior brother. But I'll admit that it's enough that you have this power.

……

When I read the letter in the old wine. Lin Shan was poking the ashes of the smoke in the stove with tongs, and he didn't even look at it, he really didn't seem to mind letting her read the letter that the woman had written to him.

And when Chen Jiu finished reading the letter, her face was full of surprise.

"It turns out ......" when he finished reading the last word on the spread out stationery in his hand. Chen Jiu couldn't help but mutter. “…… Ye'er's name is not a pseudonym? ”

Lin Shan turned his head when he heard this. just said lightly: "After reading this letter, do you have any other doubts?" ”

Chen Jiu pondered, since Lin Shan took the initiative to open the door to her inquiry. She will inevitably cherish and seize this opportunity, and after a while, she asked seriously: "Will Ye'er still be surnamed Wang in the future?" ”

It's a simple question, but it's a lot more complicated to answer.

Lin Shan said slowly: "If you follow Ye Erniang's choice, of course you will enter the Ye family tree, but in order to give the royal family some face, you can't directly surname Ye." ”

Chen Jiu stared and asked, "Then why did you leave her in Kyoto and completely cut off her thoughts of coming to you?" ”

"The Ye family no longer exists now, and she can't go back." Lin Shan paused slightly, "...... After thinking about it, it is better for her to return to the royal family, to stay by her biological father's side, and to be cared for by her brother, than to stay by me, who is just an outsider to her. Although her eldest sister Wang Qing and second brother Wang Hong in the palace were not born to the same mother as her, they were both kind-hearted and gentle-hearted, and they would not reject her. ”

"Your considerations are not wrong, the Ye family can't go back, recognizing her father and returning to the sect is the best arrangement for her, but ......" Chen Jiu's words hesitated slightly, "...... You can't say you're just an outsider to her, and I can tell from the child's face how much you mean to her. Even now that I think about it, I feel a little scared, when the news of your fake death reaches Dongfeng Tower, the child seems to have become an empty shell, and he can't even cry. ”

"I didn't do it properly because I didn't take into account that she's just a girl and has limited capacity." Lin Shan sighed softly, and then said: "But if you want her to accept royal life, you must weaken my influence on her, and in the situation I was in three years ago, if you are not careful, you may really go, so it is better to let her be mentally prepared as soon as possible." As for me now, although I have survived this catastrophe, I don't have the energy to take care of her as much as I did more than ten years ago, and she has grown up, and my departure is a good thing for her anyway. ”

Chen Jiu moved his lips, and he still had something to say in his heart but didn't say it.

After being silent for a long time, she couldn't help but ask again: "You will always meet again, have you ever thought about what to say to her?" ”

"Nope." Lin Shan shook his head slightly, "If she can forget me, maybe she can live happily." I can't stay with her all the time, and parting is inevitable. ”

"Sometimes I really wonder, do you really care, or don't you understand?" Chen Jiu was relatively calm on the outside when he spoke, but he actually felt a little sorry in his heart, "No one can always be by anyone's side, but despite this, there are still so many people who choose to be together, why can't you think the same way?" ”

Lin Shan looked at the old wine, as if he had something to say, but at this moment, the water in the iron pot on the stove boiled, and the hot steam lifted the lid on one side, and Lin Shan's attention was distracted. After a while, he just asked casually: "Are you going to fish for rice?" ”

Seeing this, Chen Jiu had already put down the letter, got up and walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot with one hand, and smashed it into the pot with a large iron spoon for rice in the other, and then she said helplessly: "It should be that the fire is too slow, although the water is only boiling, the rice under the water is cooked thoroughly, and I can only drink porridge tonight." ”

"There is nothing wrong with drinking a bowl of porridge at night, which is light and moisturizing." Lin Shan nodded, there was no objection, he was not a particularly picky person about diet.

But his next move really surprised Chen Jiu.

Lin Shan leaned sideways and pinched the letter that had been resting on the box after reading the old wine just now. Without looking at it carefully, he threw his hand into the stove.

The fire in the hearth engulfed the thin letter in an instant, and not even a sound came out.

"Letter ......" Chen Jiu rushed over and bowed down at the mouth of the stove, it seemed that she was going to put out the fire with her bare hands and pick up the letter back, but she was only stunned in the end, and did not really do so. It wasn't because she was afraid of the fire, but when she rushed over, she saw that the letter had been consumed by the flames and could not be taken back.

"Why?" Chen Jiu looked back in amazement. Looking at Lin Shan, he said puzzled. "Didn't you go to great lengths to find it just to keep it? Why burn it again? ”

"Because...... Admittedly, the letter is full of unpleasant memories. Lin Shan's words paused at this point, and after a moment he continued: "I am no longer a young man. Speaking of which. I didn't think about learning to forget until now. It's ridiculous to myself. ”

Aged sake doesn't feel ridiculous at all.

She could understand how heavy the self-blame Lin Shan felt for the outcome of Ye Ziqing's life. Although she was still a little puzzled. I always feel that the reason for this self-blame and guilt is not as simple as a word of rejection.

Although Ye Ziqing finally changed her choice to marry the emperor because of his refusal, judging from the content and tone of the letter, she did not hold a grudge against him, and still trusted and relied on him.

Maybe there are some other reasons for Lin Shan's self-blame, although Chen Jiu can't know in detail now, she believes that she is from another angle's intuition. Of course, she also hopes that Lin Shan can choose a relationship as much as possible, but she also knows that it is not so easy for him to forget the shadow that has been lingering in his heart for more than ten years, and it is by no means as simple as forgetting one thing.

What one person can remember for another person is so small and cumbersome, more complicated than the rings carved on the trunk of a tree.

However, while Chen Jiu was surprised, he also had a hint of relief in his heart, no matter what, Lin Shan really had the action of trying to forget the bad memories of the past from today, starting from burning this letter.

If it were not for the letter as a physical carrier, and the support point between the illusory image in the mind and the distant past was removed, it would be easier to forget something.

"Brother Lin, I hope you have a happy life, even when you talk about Sister Ye, you can calm down, instead of stabbing your heart like just now." Chen Jiu took half a step back, squatted down beside Lin Shan again, looked at him at a very close distance, and said word by word: "If it was before, I often thought that it would be nice if you could forget her." But now my mind has changed, if I can't forget, I will remember, but I should remember it calmly, like remembering an old friend. ”

"Hmm......" Lin Shan pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, and said: "What I talked to you about today was an old thing that I didn't want to talk about at first, but I didn't expect to say so much, and a lot of sudden meanings were actually all gained from you. You're really ingenious, and it seems that I'll have to talk to you often in the future. ”

The thin letter in the hearth, which had been lost in the flames, was finally burned through, and somehow, a piece of ash, still in the shape of a letter stump, flew out of the hearth, swirled up the roof of the kitchen, and hovered for a moment before falling gently.

It happened to fall on a strand of hair in front of the old wine's forehead.

Lin Shan didn't have time to think about it, reached out and picked up the thin piece of ash, and bounced his fingers away at will.

After bounced off the ash stain, his hand paused in mid-air for a moment, and then did not withdraw it, but returned to the corner of Chenjiu's forehead.

Chen Jiu was slightly stunned, and then she soon found that the look in the eyes of the man she admired seemed to have changed, some like a windless lake, calm enough to reflect her own shadow, and some like melted grease, she was deeply trapped in it but didn't want to extricate herself.

Lin Shan caressed the long silky hair of the woman in front of him, and his mind was also extremely supple at this moment, he read a kind of expectation and a little apprehension in the woman's eyes, and his heart suddenly throbbed, bowed his head slightly, and gently knocked down his lips.

The warm touch, like a little spark, ignited the heart.

When he gently kissed the smooth piece of her forehead, he could clearly see her eyes flickering, and her eyelashes seemed to have a trace of aura, which was quite moving. And when he let go of the hand that covered her long satin hair, he saw that there were two more rouges on her face...... It was as if for the first time his heart was beating faster for her beauty.

At this time, the heart of the aged wine beats faster.

Obviously, she was just squatting beside him, but it seemed that she had just come back from running dozens of miles outside, in addition to her heart beating faster and her breathing was slightly short, she also felt that her face was on fire.

"Is it red?" Chen Jiu covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes shining between his split fingers, looking at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan said without thinking: "It's red." ”

"I ...... I'm going to be laughed to death by others......" Chen Jiu covered his face tighter, "Who has ever seen a thirty-year-old woman blush?" ”――

(To be continued......)
