Chapter 43: No More Loneliness
Lightning pierced the dark night, dull thunder roared like a cannon, the rain began to fall heavier and heavier, bright lightning shuttled through the night sky like a silver snake, illuminating the entire Forbidden City again and again, the rumbling thunder was deafening, as if it could shatter anything.
The summer rain is always so urgent, full of passionate vitality. It is not like the rain in early spring, ticking and ticking, making the earth full of life, and it is not like the rain after autumn, which is so poetic, and it is not like the snow in winter, which dances gently in the air and falls faintly.
Although the dark clouds that pressed down on the top would make people feel bored and suffocated, Ren Hongfei's mind was like pushing away the stubborn stone that had been pressed on it for many years, and he suddenly opened up.
Ren Hongfei strode forward in the corridor and reached out to wipe the tears of joy from his eyes.
Finally, he is no longer lonely, ten years! How much sadness, how much parting, how much depression and melancholy, how much hesitation and sadness I have experienced!
Ren Hongfei smiled lightly and shook his head as if he wanted to get rid of all this: "Ten years of youth and a hundred years, hehe, continuous friendship, continuous thoughts, and continuous memories." ”
There was darkness beside him, but Ren Hongfei's heart was infinitely bright, and when he walked to Li Xuanzhi's hall and pushed the door in, Zhu Huiyuan was shrinking in his mother's arms to avoid the thunderbolts and thunder, and the palace lamp covered with tulle had been lit in the hall, leaving only a eunuch waiting beside him.
Ren Hongfei gave Li Xuanzhi a salute and quipped: "Yo, tigers will be scared too." ”
Zhu Huiyuan's ears were tightly covered by Li Xuanzhi, and he didn't hear what he was saying at all, Li Xuanzhi said angrily: "If it's okay, go back to your house to retreat, and you will come to scare her when you are idle." ”
Ren Hongfei smiled, put the bamboo dragonfly in his hand on the table, and said with a grin: "Mother is angry, the child just sent fun to the eight girls, I don't know if the tiger eats insects, hehe, the child retires." ”
As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed Li Xuan's hand covering Zhu Huiyuan's ear, and walked away.
When Zhu Huiyuan saw the bamboo dragonfly on the table, her eyes lit up, and when she pushed Li Xuanzhi away, she grabbed the bamboo dragonfly and played with it in her hand.
Li Xuanzhi looked at the elated Ren Hongfei in surprise, and muttered: "What's wrong with this kid today, inexplicable, as if he took the wrong medicine." ”
Ren Hongfei returned to the house with a smile on his face, and Lan'er asked in surprise: "Hey, what's the matter, you picked up the big ingot?" ”
Ren Hongfei laughed and said: "Hey, who picked up that broken thing, oh, ingots, there is no place to pick it up." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Lan'er and gently hugged her waist, and walked slowly and swayed in the room, as if they were dancing together.
Lan'er was taken aback, reached out and touched Ren Hongfei's forehead: "Hey, I don't have a fever." ”
Ren Hongfei was a little speechless, sighed and said, "You are so looking forward to my illness, I am happy today." ”
Lan'er was also infected by Ren Hongfei's joy, and asked with a smile: "What caused our young master Fei to be so excited, did you fall in love with which new little palace maid?" ”
Ren Hongfei was full of black lines when he boarded: "I did fall in love with one, but it was not a woman but a man." ”
This sentence is a bit informative, Lan'er was stunned for a long time and didn't understand, except for women and half-men and women, there are very few men, Lan'er began to count with her fingers.
Ren Hongfei took out the gold box from his arms, took out a cigarette and lit it on the oil lamp on the table, squinting his head and enjoying it, a cigarette was finished, and Lan'er didn't react yet.
There was a sudden knock outside the door, and the crackling raindrops seemed to cover everyone's ears, Ren Hongfei stood up and walked to the door and opened the door.
It turned out that it was the eunuch of Shangshan Jian who came to deliver dinner, and Ren Hongfei let him into the house with a smile, but there was endless disappointment in his eyes.
The eunuch, who was in his thirties, gently put two dishes and one soup on the table, bowed down and said with a smile: "Little prince, please use it slowly." ”
Ren Hongfei waved his hand and sent him away, and sat down at the table speechlessly.
Lan'er put on two pairs of chopsticks and said, "Xiaofei, let's eat." ”
Ren Hongfei said silently: "Add another pair of dishes and chopsticks, we have distinguished guests tonight." ”
Lan'er said: "Is Wei Zhongxian coming?" "Except for Wei Zhongxian, who sometimes comes to have a secret conversation with Ren Hongfei for dinner, basically no one else has stayed in this room.
Ren Hongfei said with a smile: "What kind of guest is that gelding donkey, the person who came tonight is your husband and my brother." ”
Lan'er exclaimed: "The eldest prince is coming over?" ”
Ren Hongfei sighed: "It's not him, alas, don't ask, this matter will be unclear for a while, it's my classmate and brother in my previous life, oh, no, I should say the next life." ”
Although Lan'er was confused, she still obediently put on another pair of dishes and chopsticks, Ren Hongfei took Lan'er's hand and rubbed it lightly on her face, closed her eyes and said slowly: "Sister Lan'er, from now on in this strange world, in addition to you and me, I have a relative." ”
Although Lan'er was puzzled, she didn't ask again, looking at Ren Hongfei with a comfortable face, Lan'er also felt a sweetness rise in her heart, for several months, she had never seen Ren Hongfei relax himself so much.
More than an hour has passed unconsciously, Ren Hongfei has stood up for the twentieth time and opened the door to look around, it turns out that the most anxious thing in the world is to wait, the spicy chicken shreds, pot stickers and tofu and braised lion head on the table have long been without a trace of heat.
Lan'er persuaded: "Xiaofei, he may not come tonight." ”
Ren Hongfei closed the door and sat back on the stool, was silent for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, no matter what time of day tonight, he will definitely come." ”
As he was talking, the door creaked open a crack, and a black shadow flashed in and gently closed the door tightly, Lan'er was startled, and was about to question, Ren Hongfei waved his hand to Lan'er and smiled: "It's okay, my own people." ”
Ye Hanqing, who came in in a flash, was also stunned, but he didn't expect that there was a palace maid inside, Ren Hongfei rushed over, and the two hugged each other tightly, both with tears in their eyes and excited expressions, Lan'er looked at it in surprise, and began to feel a trace of anxiety about Ren Hongfei's sexual orientation in her heart.
After the two were speechless for a while, Ren Hongfei took Ye Hanqing's hand and walked to the table and sat down, shouting, "Lan'er, bring the wine." ”
Ye Hanqing pointed at Lan'er and asked softly, "This is?" ”
Ren Hongfei smiled: "It's okay, my own people, my daughter-in-law." ”
Ye Hanqing hurriedly got up and saluted: "Sister-in-law is good." ”
Lan'er blushed and returned the salute, but she didn't distinguish it, and walked to the back room and took out the wine jug.
In the past, in school, these four roommates were of the same age, just the size of their birthdays, the oldest was Zhang Moyan, then Ren Hongfei and Nie Changyu, and the youngest was Ye Hanqing.
Although Ye Hanqing is now a few years older than Ren Hongfei, he is still called according to his previous ranking.
