Chapter Seventy-Five: Knee Pillow, Pure Confession
The rain poured incessantly, and the rainwater that flowed down from the eaves of the houses merged into small streams on the ground.
Su Miao sat in front of the fire with her knees crossed, very bored, and didn't say a word after reminiscing, thought about it, and took out a bean paste bag wrapped in paper from her arms. I had eaten all the buns I had bought in the city before, and this was the only one left, so I took it in my hand and looked at the aftertaste of looking at her because I heard the noise, broke half of the bean paste buns, and handed it to him with a smile.
The aftertaste was slightly stunned, looking at the half of the bean paste bag handed over, I somehow remembered that she said to Zhou Cheng during the day, "I will share more than half of the friendship with you even if I have only one piece of cake", and suddenly repelled the bean paste bag in my heart, shook my head, and said bluntly:
"Eat it yourself."
"I feel awkward as I eat and you watch." Su Miao said, smiling and stuffing the bean paste bag into his hand, and took a bite of the half of the bean paste bag in his hand.
Aftertaste took the half-pulled bean paste bun, didn't eat it, lowered his eyes and hesitated for a while, glanced at her quickly, turned his face and asked in a deep voice:
"What are you going to do with Zhou Cheng?"
Su Miao was stunned, tilted her head and thought for a moment, and replied with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet." β
Unexpected and expected answer, Aftertaste frowned, and asked in a low voice:
"Do you still have the same thoughts about him as you used to?"
Su Miao didn't expect him to ask such a thing, blinked his eyes twice, and smiled:
"Where do you think you're going! Zhou Cheng was killed by a disaster in his hometown when he was thirteen years old, and his mother asked him to come to our family before she died, so he followed his fellow villagers. My dad saw that he was still honest. So they took him as an apprentice. The marriage contract is purely the order of my parents, because the restaurant needs someone to inherit, and my father and mother don't want me to marry because of my eldest sister. That's why I want to be a pro-person and recruit a door-to-door son-in-law. Although I am very good with him, it is different from what you think, it is better to say that thanks to his escape, if he did not run away, it would be me who escaped. "It was none of her business what Su Miao thought before, she didn't want to marry Zhou Cheng at all.
"Really?" Aftertaste looked at her suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it.
Su Miao didn't bother to pay attention to the complicated thoughts in his heart. Turning over and lying in the straw pile, curled up into a small shrimp, the sound of the rain in the night when the heavy rain is pouring is the most suitable for sleeping. She turned her back to him and said:
"In short, you have to keep today's events secret and don't say anything."
"You're going to hide it from your family?" Aftertaste asked, staring at her back.
When Su Miao heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she thought about it. With his back to him and his arm on the pillow, he muttered:
"What I want to do, that's my business. You just have to keep it a secret. β
"That's my business," she said, of course it was true, and she didn't have any impatience in her declarative tone, but the words echoed in his ears, and he felt uncomfortable about how he thought about it. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more annoyed I felt, staring straight at her slender back. He was really angry and paused. He glanced down at the half of the bean paste bun in his hand, and didn't want to eat it, so he threw it into the roaring bonfire and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
He clasped his hands on his chest, leaned his back against the beams behind him, his head drooped, and he sulked inexplicably with no expression on his face, he didn't think about why he was angry, he didn't even know that he was angry.
A sleet rain blew from outside the hollow round window, blowing a warm bonfire and burning more vigorously, blowing Su Miao, who was sleeping in the straw pile, involuntarily shrunk her neck, more like a shrimp than before.
After all, it was almost winter, and it was raining heavily at night, and it would indeed be cold to stay in the temple at night without even a quilt, and it would be cold to look at her on the ground with her chest in her arms, and she was about to roll into the fire. He discovered another of her stunts, he could fall asleep immediately within ten numbers, and slept like a dead pig, even if there was thunder, he couldn't wake up, no matter where he was now or who was next to him.
After staring at her intently for a long time, he finally hung his head, sighed softly and speechlessly, and before she could roll into the fire, he unfastened his coat and put it over her slender body, and gently moved her over by the way, and carefully lifted her head on his lap.
It was a mistaken decision, because as the back of her head rested on his thigh, she instinctively wanted to absorb the heat of her kind, and a moment later, she turned over in a daze, faced him, and with her arms outstretched, she clasped his waist!
After reminiscing, my whole body stiffened, and I always felt that this posture was not quite right, as far as etiquette and religion were concerned, this was an act that violated morals and customs, tarnished character, and violated morality...... But forget it, no one knows anyway, and he doesn't care that much!
So the etiquette was deliberately ignored, and the aftertaste lowered his head to look at Su Miao's sleeping face, and a white and tender duck egg face didn't know if it was because he was asleep or because the bonfire was as bright pink as spring flowers, and his sideburns became more and more black as ink. The breath is even, the lips are red, and the residual makeup is half-faded, but it still gives people a fresh and attractive feeling against the background of the firelight. She is not a beauty, there are more beauties in Liangdu than cow hair, and her appearance can only be regarded as an upper-middle-class posture, but he is very interested in this middle-to-upper posture. He couldn't say why, but he knew very well that this girl, who was only in the middle and upper posture, was the woman he was most interested in in his life, and because he was very interested, he was willing to stay by her side, and he would feel happy just by staying by her side, and if you asked him why he couldn't understand it, it was just a feeling.
Stretched out his hand again to straighten the silk flower on her bun, and a mosquito that had not been frozen to death by the cold flew over, flying around in the ears of Su Miao, who was already asleep, causing Su Miao to frown frequently. Seeing this, I wanted to fight mosquitoes, but I was afraid of waking her up with a noise, so I had to drive it away over and over again, but I didn't expect to drive away one but attract a group.
So this night, while feeling that he was a nervous disorder, he dutifully drove mosquitoes for Su Miao.
Outside the temple, the rain was like an arrow, and the thunder was low......
Early the next morning, the heavy rain turned to drizzle, and I could barely get on the road.
Su Miao woke up and found that she was sleeping on her lap, and her hairs stood on end in shock, but fortunately she didn't scream more embarrassingly. The aftertaste is very calm. As if she didn't take it to heart, Su Miao saw this, although she was a little embarrassed in her heart. On her face, she tried to show calmness and calmness, pretending to ask casually why she ran to sleep next to him, and she was obviously half a meter away from him before she fell asleep. As a result, the aftertaste did not blush and replied without a heartbeat:
"It's not because you posted it yourself, you can't shake it off!"
ββ¦β¦ It's true? Su Miaohu was very suspicious, even if she was not honest, it was impossible for her to crawl all the way to him with her eyes closed, and then pill on his lap. Holding his waist with both hands, this is too difficult, right?
"Could it be that I'm still in a hurry to stick to you?" Aftertaste asked expressionlessly, such an expressionless face seemed to bring a bit of ridicule in it.
The two sat in the carriage in silence.
Su Miao really didn't know what to say. I wonder if my sleep addiction has degenerated into a monkey?
Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, she didn't look around, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already noon when she arrived in Changle Town, and Su Miao didn't go home and went directly to Su Caiguan.
The rain here in Changle Town is heavier than that in Fengzhou. The flat road surface has begun to accumulate water. There are almost no pedestrians on the streets, and thanks to the heavy rain, today's Su restaurant is surprisingly quiet.
Su Miao jumped out of the car, broke through the rain curtain and ran into the store, and aftertaste followed.
Su Xian was standing by the door and wiping the table, and when she turned around and saw the two of them coming back one after the other, her eyes lit up and she pursed her lips. Ambiguously smiled:
"I said that Xiao Hui'er must have gone with him, saying that he was going to Fengzhou to load the goods. Where the hell did you two go, you didn't come back all night! β
Su Miao was embarrassed by her strange tone, and only then did she want to answer, when a crying accusation sounded from her side:
"Second sister, I'm so worried about you, you actually took him and didn't take me there, and didn't go home for a night, second sister, you are too much!"
Su Miao looked back at Su Yan, who was aggrieved and teary-eyed, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely:
"He insisted on going with him, I'm going to do business, not to play, you boy, don't always cry at every turn, why didn't you go to class today?"
"It's raining heavily, and the school is out early." Su Yan flattened his mouth and said unhappily.
"Where's my mother?" Su Miao glanced at the counter, didn't see Hu, and asked.
"Grandma's bone pain attacked, my mother stayed at home to take care of grandma, anyway, on this rainy day, not many people came." Su Xian replied.
Su Miao nodded.
The little fox, who had been napping at the base of the wall because of the rain, saw that Aftertaste was back, warmly welcomed, and jumped around beside Aftertaste, and Aftertaste picked it up.
"Flowers, where did they come from?" At this moment, Su Chan, who had never said a word, suddenly spoke, staring directly at the silk flower on Su Miao's head.
So everyone's eyes fell on Su Miao's bun.
Su Miao regretted that she didn't remember to go home first to change clothes when she patronized the Su Restaurant, and she was even more dumbfounded by Su Chan's good memory, and she could see at a glance that this flower was newly bought.
"I met a little girl selling silk flowers in the city, and seeing her young age, I bought it." Su Miao grabbed her hair and replied with a smile.
"Really?" Su Chan pointed at her with a wooden face and asked.
"Hmm!" Su Miao nodded vigorously.
"What, I thought it was given to you by Xiao Hui'er, a man and a woman who sell silk flowers, a rare good opportunity, at this time, a man should be generous to buy it to please the girl, Xiao Hui'er, you are really boring!" Su Xian wrinkled her nose and said disgustedly.
"I bought it for her." Su Miao's body stiffened, glaring sharply, he looked at her and said, "If you tell lies, I will be considered very boring." β
Now it's not interesting or not, it doesn't matter at all, okay!
The strange gaze "colorful" swished at Su Miao, Su Miao was speechless, took a step, and hurried to the kitchen.
The three sisters and brothers of the Su family looked at the aftertaste together, because their eyes were too sharp, they actually startled him, and subconsciously took half a step back, regretting a little in their hearts that they were too eager to show the truth just now, but he really hated Su Miao for denying or even lying about the silk flower for some reason.
Chun Niang, who was originally very happy that they had returned safely, heard that the silk flower on Su Miao's head was a gift from him when she heard the aftertaste admit that the silk flower on Su Miao's head was a gift from him, and her beautiful face turned white in an instant.
In the afternoon, because of the heavy rain, the entire Changle Town seemed to be suspended, and there was not a single guest in the Su Restaurant, because there were no guests, Su Miao called Su Xian and the three into the kitchen, and Tongxi Tonggui was kicked out, and he sat bored in the outfield to play guessing boxing.
Uncle Hu was in severe pain because of rheumatism, so he went to Su's house early in the morning to apply medicine.
Aftertaste sits under the shed in the open-air area, which is made by Su Miao herself with oilcloth, which can shade the sun and keep out the rain, and the guests like it very much.
Chun Niang didn't like to talk, ignored the conversation with joy and nobility, sat on the stool for a while, as the rain became louder, she glanced at the aftertaste of putting the little fox on the table and combing it with a comb, suddenly stood up and walked over.
The rain is blowing.
"Brother Hui," Chunniang asked with a smile, "What did you and Sister Miao do when you went to Fengzhou?" β
"Didn't do anything." The aftertaste didn't look up, combing the hair one by one, and the little fox glanced at Chunniang and yawned lazily.
Chun Niang was bored with herself, and she was a little embarrassed, so she glanced at the store and said as if she had nothing to say:
"Sister Miao, what are they doing, all in the kitchen, I want to go in and listen."
"Probably a family meeting." The aftertaste is faint, although the tone is calm, but he can still feel a trace of impatience, he does not like to be disturbed.
Chunniang froze for a moment, lowered her head and pulled the corners of her clothes, bit her lip and asked softly, "It's a joke to give Sister Miao a silk flower when you go back, right?" β
"Jokes? Why? The aftertaste was stunned for a moment, and he asked rhetorically.
"Because, because, because an unmarried man gives a woman a personal belonging, isn't that a token of love!"
I was stunned for a while, looked at her in surprise for a long time, came back to my senses, touched my chin and thought about it, and said to myself:
"That's right." After a pause, he told her, "Don't let her know about this, she will return it angrily." β
Chunniang bit her lip more and more deeply, lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, and suddenly asked in a tense voice:
"Brother Hui, isn't it, do you like Sister Miao?"
The aftertaste stiffened, as if he was shocked, and after realizing it, he thought for a long time, frowned and asked:
"Really?" After pausing for a moment, he lowered his head in surprise, and whispered in amazement, "It turns out that there is still such a possibility, and my vision has fallen to this kind of Cheng DΓΉ?" β
This is quite an irritating reaction, even Chun Niang felt angry, her fists clenched, she gritted her teeth, and said:
"Brother Hui, I like you!"
The aftertaste froze again, and he looked at her in surprise.
Chunniang also regretted it a little after she finished speaking, but she didn't say that he always didn't know, it was better to let him face her than to be ignored.
Her cheeks flushed, and she hung her head and wrung her hands, waiting for his reaction.
Aftertaste looked at her in astonishment, the first time in his life that he was confessed, he thought for a long time, and finally thought of an answer:
"I'm not interested in you."
A fierce ball smashed straight over, and Chun Niang instantly froze into a lump of ice!
Chunniang cried and ran away, and after thinking that she was very dangerous like this, she instructed Tonggui:
"Go and send an umbrella to Chunniang and watch her come back."
Tonggui was inexplicable, but he still answered and took the umbrella. (To be continued......)
