Chapter 21: Stealing Hearts
At a glance, I remembered her pure and immaculate beauty.
Because of the girl, she is so beautiful that it is a little unreal, like a snow girl who came out of a painting. The snow-white dress is embellished with a very light blue, outlining the girl's graceful figure. The long black satin-like hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, swaying in a gentle arc in the breeze. The fair-skinned and clear cheeks were slightly reddened by the young man's gaze. The girl's facial features are even more exquisite, and her delicate lips like rose petals open slightly in surprise, revealing white and neat teeth. The most touching thing is the straight little nose and the eyes. Between the eyebrows, the tears are mixed with agility and sorrow, which is heartbreakingly cute.
The empty heart, as if at that moment, was all occupied by her, aroused the ignorant feelings of the young man.
He didn't know that at that moment, he also entered the girl's heart with his melancholy eyes full of tears.
Yu Qiuping and the girl both stared at each other in a bit of a trance, until the red leaves slowly fell to the ground, making a "salsa" sound, waking them up.
Lowered his head in embarrassment, and even his movements were so consistent.
Both looked up again and looked at the tears in each other's eyes.
Perhaps, at this moment, there is no need for any superfluous words. Because those tears speak for themselves.
We have all been married and injured because of the autumn leaves. The people are gone, and only the people under the trees are left, empty against the blood-red maple leaves.
I don't know if it was a tacit understanding or something else, the two of them knelt down in unison, leaned under the maple tree, and quietly watched the bright red maple leaves that fell on the ground. No one spoke, and no one reached out to pick it up.
It's just to sit quietly and weep together.
After a long time, a gust of wind blew and swept away the red leaves. The two looked at each other, and no one chased them.
I can't chase it back.
The two of them gasped in unison, as if they had lifted some burden.
"My parents," Yu Qiuping said softly, breaking the silence, "I especially like autumn leaves. ”
They met in the maple leaf forest, and their father gave their mother a red leaf pendant as a token of love. Later, the two got married and gave birth to me. ”
"Ever since I was a child, I've always been fond of autumn leaves," Yuqiu Ping babbled, and the girl listened quietly, "Everything in the house is basically decorated with autumn leaves." I used to be in the Ming Kingdom, and every autumn, my parents would take me to the Xiangshan Mountain in Beijing to see the autumn leaves. It's all red, but it's beautiful. ”
"Now, I can't see my parents again." Yu Qiuping choked up, subconsciously touched his chest, and the pendant no longer existed, "When I saw the red leaves, I suddenly missed them." ”
After Yu Qiuping stopped, the girl naturally spoke.
"Sorry to hear your story." Her voice is very good, smart and tactful, like a yellow warbler in the morning.
"My parents also met in the maple forest," the girl smiled, her shallow dimples making her look especially good when she smiled. "Actually, it's this maple forest."
"Jiaci is the daughter of a literati, speaking of which, my grandfather is also from the Ming Kingdom," the girl glanced at Yu Qiuping, and then turned around, her playful expression was cute. "Jia Ci was reciting a waka song under this maple tree at that time, and Jia Yan happened to pass by, and they knew each other at once." The girl's face showed an intoxicated look, and the flush on her fair cheeks did not fade, but became more and more seductive. She didn't apply any rouge, she was naturally beautiful than those aristocratic ladies, and she was more lively and agile than girls of this age. The faint fragrance of camellia on her body couldn't help but make Yu Qiuping a little fascinated.
"Later, they got together, in that little log cabin not far away, where I was born." The girl pointed to a wooden house halfway up the hill in the distance, "That's my home too." ”
"Because Jiaci's status is humble and she is not worthy of Jiayan, Jiayan has no way to marry her back from Ming Media, so she can only let Jiaci continue to stay in the cabin."
"But Jia Yan is a big man, and he is usually very busy all the time, and he has to go around to ask for things and deal with official business, so he rarely has the opportunity to come to see Jia Ci." The blush on the girl's face gradually receded, and tears began to fill her eyes again, "Jiaci taught me to read and write in the morning, poetry and songs, and I will come here in the afternoon to wait for Jiayan." Jia Yan said that if he returned, he would go under this maple tree. She gently stroked the trunk of the maple tree, "In the spring, summer, autumn and winter of the year, regardless of wind, frost, rain and snow, Jia Ci Lei will wait under this tree without moving." ”
"When I was a child, I was alone in the wooden house, watching Jiaci and other strict families. I also want to see Jia Yan, I haven't seen it a few times since I was a child. Tears flickered, and the girl suddenly laughed.
"But I found that every year Jiayan only comes a few times when the maple leaves are red. At that time, the family was happy and happy. She paused, "That's why I love Maple Leaf." As soon as the maple leaves are red, the good days of the year will come. ”
"However, Jiaci really misses Jiayan." The girl's tears began to roll again, "Jia Yan, who waits hard every year, can only accompany her for four or five afternoons, and can't even stay for dinner." ”
"Five years ago, Jiaci gradually became ill, very seriously ill. But we can't go to Jiayan either. When the girl said that she was sad, tears flowed down at once, "But she still had to wait for Jia Yan in the maple forest for an afternoon every day, and in the end she still couldn't wait for Jia Yan to see her for the last time." ”
"When Jiayan arrived, Jiaci had already been buried. Jia Yan regretted it very much, so he took me over under the pressure of his family, and he was very good to me. There was no trace of joy on the girl's face, "But I will still resent him, resentful of Jia Yan for leaving Jia Ci ruthless, and letting Jia Ci suffer the pain of the relationship alone for so many years." Feelings should not be a person who bears pressure and suffering. ”
The girl finished the story and sighed.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly smiled for no reason.
They laughed, perhaps because, at last, they had met a confidant.
Looking at the girl's beautiful smiling face, Yu Qiuping suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.
Next, the two of them chattered about the past when they were children and red leaves, and the teenagers and girls who had just met were like old friends who had known each other for many years meeting again, and there were endless words.
Unconsciously, the sun is setting, and the maple forest is particularly red against the backdrop of the sunset.
"It's late, maybe I'm going to be out of company," the girl bowed. "If I go back later, my family will blame me."
"I'll send you," Yu Qiuping suddenly felt a little lost, got up and offered to give the girl a ride, "It's not early, it's not safe in the mountains." ”
"Oh?" The girl smiled mischievously, "Don't underestimate me, I've practiced martial arts." ”
"Really? How powerful is Miss? Yu Qiuping smiled, tensing the muscles in his arm by the way, "Can you beat me?" ”
"Want to hear the truth?" The girl jumped in front of Yu Qiuping with a smile, and blinked while walking backwards, "I think, Childe, you are definitely not my opponent." ”
"Hey," Yu Qiuping couldn't help but be amused by the girl, "Don't call me Childe, my name is Yu Qiuping, you can just call me Ping." ”
"That's good, Ping-kun," the girl added, seeing that Yu Qiuping seemed to be looking at her with some confusion, "Isn't it because you want to exchange names?" The girl's maiden name, but you can't tell a man casually, Pingjun. ”
"Okay, let's send it here, thank you Pingjun." The girl bowed again, and the long skirt that was slightly lifted was particularly beautiful. "It's my family's car in front, and there are many maids, it's not good for Pingjun to be seen."
Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that someone had smashed his chest with a hammer, and a wave of loss and helplessness instantly surged into his heart, but he still tried to keep a smile on his lips and replied, "Be careful all the way." ”
Yes, she is, the daughter of a big family. Like those girls sitting in ox carts, they are all daughters of noble and wealthy families.
I, I'm just an immigrant from the Ming Kingdom, an ordinary person, not even a samurai, at best, just the righteous brother of Asahina Taehyung, how can I be worthy of her.
Huh? How could I think of any of this? Yu Qiuping was suddenly stunned.
I am... Tempted?
Do you like her?
The girl's figure walked farther and farther away, and it seemed that she was about to disappear behind the big rock.
Yu Qiuping was suddenly stunned.
In the future, you may never see her again? A wave of sadness and loss churned in the bottom of my heart, and my scalp tingled.
Why don't you ask her where she lives...
However, I can't come to visit even if I ask. I'm a lowly person.
Yu Qiuping's body shook a few times, and he had to rush forward to ask several times, but he didn't dare to move.
The girl's figure had disappeared behind the rocks. Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that the bottom of his heart had collapsed, and unprecedented regret and chagrin continued to invade him.
When he went home at night, Yu Qiuping, who was depressed, casually picked up a few mouthfuls of food and lay motionless on the tatami mat. When I closed my eyes, the girl's delicate laughter, mischievous demeanor, and the beautiful shadow kept echoing in my mind. Yu Qiuping struggled to recall every word and detail of their exchange in the afternoon, until late at night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Did she say, "Childe, you are definitely not my opponent", or "Childe, you can't beat me"?
Did she say, "I'm going back first," or was it "I'm going to be out of company"?
The dimples on her cheeks, it's so big... Still is...
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Yu Qiuping's slow sleep, the pro-soldier asked worriedly, "Did you encounter anything when you went to the mountain in the afternoon?" ”
"It's okay, it's nothing." Yu Qiuping propped his head and shook his head, "You can also go to bed early, pro-guard, look at Thompson," Yu Qiuping pointed to Charlie, who was snoring all the time, "I've been asleep for a long time." ”
"Yes, my lord."
yes, what's wrong with me.
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman.
In front of Yu Qiuping's eyes, the girl's face appeared again when she first saw her.
My Fair Lady, I covet it. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. You're wandering, tossing and turning.
The empty heart, in an instant, was all occupied by her.
Those who steal the hook steal, and those who steal the country are princes.
The heart stealer, the girl who doesn't even know her name, the girl who is also sentimental because of the red leaves, the girl who has the same misfortune as herself, the girl who smiles and charms, and the girl who captivates the country and the city.
She stole Yu Qiuping's heart. And since then, it has occupied a lifetime.
