Chapter 69: After the Rain
When we got to the bedroom across from the kitchen, there was a lot less water than before. Xia Shang shook the stagnant water on the black umbrella and secretly glanced at Sangsang, who was still in a trance.
Sang Sang's body was wet, and he stood under the eaves blankly, looking a little cute.
"You go to the house and sit down first, and then you can go when the rain is light."
"Oh." Sang Sang answered, and entered the room with his hands clasped together and trembling.
Xia Shang held the umbrella outside the door, and then also entered the bedroom.
The fat cook Ah Kuan is not there.
After these days of observation, Xia Shang knew that Ah Kuan was a very lazy person, and he often wandered outside, and it was normal not to be in the house at this time.
It was a little dark in the room, and Sang Sang found a corner to sit on, seemingly well-done, but his sorrowful appearance couldn't escape Xia Shang's eyes.
Fortunately, there was a brazier in the house, which contained charcoal, presumably used last winter, and was covered with a thick layer of ash. The brazier was lit with a fire breaker, and the bedroom was lit and warmed at the same time.
Xia Shang pushed the brazier in front of Sang Sang, and the firelight illuminated Sang Sang's face, and at this time, he was peeking at Xia Shang sideways, biting his lower lip lightly, and his cheeks were a little stranded, looking dull.
Xia Shang also sat not far away, guarding the brazier, his expression was flat, and he had no intention of speaking.
In fact, Xia Shang could guess some of the feelings in Sangsang's heart, and Xia Shang was very moved and happy, but looking at Sangsang, Xia Shang always felt less distracted.
So at this moment, Xia Shang did not speak.
Speaking of wild monsters, Xia Shang and Sang Sang had just moved from the kitchen, and the rain gradually became lighter, the sound of rain outside became smaller and smaller, and the wind tended to calm down.
After a little silence in the low room for half an hour, the rain stopped, and the sound of ticking water came from outside the house, which was very rhythmic.
The sky was still clear, gray, and the black umbrella held at the door was blown into the vegetable garden at some point. Sang Sang suddenly got up, leaned on the window and looked at the sky, turned around and said lightly: "Rain...... The rain stopped and I was gone. ”
I could hear that Sang Sang was a little lost, his eyes were in a trance, and he was a little distracted.
Without waiting for Xia Shang to answer, Sang Sang pushed the door open. Looking at Sang Sang's back, Xia Shang suddenly felt a little unbearable, and followed to the door and wanted to say: "Don't be so stupid in the future, don't hide the umbrella in your arms." ”
I wonder if I want to be misunderstood? Or maybe get a look of shyness or disappointment?
In the end, Xia Shang still didn't speak, and stood at the door and watched Sang Sang go farther and farther.
A rain and a black umbrella made Xia Shang's heart a little confused. Maybe it's been frivolous for a long time, and suddenly I found that there was a girl who was a little uncomfortable with being nice to herself, and I felt a little scared in the face of a pure emotion at this time.
If he had a choice, Xia Shang still preferred the feeling of smiling and taking advantage.
The room was a little stuffy, and after Xia Shang put out the brazier, he went to the back garden alone.
After the rain, the garden seems to have undergone a rebirth, and the flowers and plants in the garden have shown an unprecedented posture. Residual raindrops fall from the treetops, hit the stamens, hit the stems, hit the stone paths, hit the waterholes...... There's a tick-tock rhythm everywhere. The koi fish in the pond are especially pleasant, with continuous ripples on the surface of the water.
Xia Shang stood by the pool and looked at the fish in the water, unconsciously losing his mind.
"Xia Shang? Why are you here? ”
Qin Lan suddenly appeared behind Xia Shang and gently patted Xia Shang's shoulder on tiptoe.
Seeing Qin Lan's beautiful face, Xia Shang's eyes widened in surprise, looked left and right, and only after finding that there was no one did he respond: "Xiao Lanlan!" ”
The title of "Xiao Lanlan" was not very adaptable, Qin Lan shrank her neck in shame when she heard it, and glanced at Xia Shang angrily.
Qin Lan was carrying a small bamboo basket at the moment, and there were a lot of bamboo tubes in the basket. The small basket is like a painting on the soft Qin Lan, and the weak appearance is so beautiful with a smile and a smile.
"Are you here to step on the rain?"
Qin Lan nodded, then walked to the edge of a small tree with a bamboo tube, and gently revealed a few drops and put them down.
"Xiao Lanlan, why are you so keen on dew? What's so good about this dew? ”
Qin Lan didn't look back, continued her work, and replied lightly: "It's also a good thing to have something to do in your spare time, besides, the rain and dew are a gift from God, and you can enjoy it sincerely, and your heart will be peaceful." ”
Xia Shang didn't know where this crooked reasoning came from, but now it was fine, so he stepped forward and picked out an empty bamboo tube from the basket, and then looked like Qin Lan and filled it with dew.
Smelling the breeze after the rain, followed by a soft and beautiful woman, doing a little amorous idle business, it didn't take long for Xia Shang to feel a lot calmer in his heart.
Sneaking a glance at Xiao Lanlan, who was concentrating, her quiet movements were very graceful, especially the slender jade hands pinching the leaves were as white as if they had been washed in the rain.
At this time, Qin Lan made Xia Shang can't help but think of that day and night, but unfortunately the night did not shine on Xiao Lanlan's face, if the night was as clear as now, how good would it be?
Thinking about it, Xia Shang's hand unconsciously moved to Qin Lan's hand, deliberately choosing the same leaf with Qin Lan, and the two hands unconsciously touched together.
Qin Lan was too attentive to notice that Xia Shang was only a stone's throw away from him, and as soon as he turned around, the tips of the noses of the two brushed over, leaving a faint temperature that made people's heartstrings tremble.
“……”
Qin Lan wanted to say something, but seeing that the distance between herself and Xia Shang was just a little bit, what she wanted to say turned into a heavy breath, a flush climbed up her cheeks, and instinctively took a step back.
Xia Shang smiled and pointed to the leaf that the two of them were holding at the same time: "This leaf is lucky, it is not easy to be selected by you and me at the same time!" ”
Qin Lan shrunk her neck and echoed with a dry smile: "It's not easy, it's really not ......."
Halfway through the words, Qin Lan's throat froze as she felt the back of her hand being gently caressed.
More Hongxia climbed up to his face, his little hands retracted as quickly as frightened rabbits, and the half-collected bamboo tubes were overturned.
"I ...... I'm ...... I still have something to do, so I'll ...... Went first. ”
As he spoke, Qin Lan turned his head with the basket and walked away quickly.
But Xia Shang showed a look of surprise, because he didn't hear Xiao Lanlan's righteous words, and such a shy dodge meant that she didn't reject it.
Happy, Xia Shang hurriedly chased after him, and shouted softly: "Xiao Lanlan, your bamboo tube." And the dew I picked for you. ”
"Don't, don't." Qin Lan walked faster and faster, but Xia Shang persevered.
Suddenly, Qin Lan stopped, Xia Shang seized the opportunity to grab her little hand, and said with a smile: "I said no, but in fact, my body is still very honest." ”
"Shh Qin Lan turned around and asked Xia Shang to keep his voice silent.
Xia Shang looked forward and found that there was a strange woman in the garden.
The woman was dressed in a pale yellow cigarette shirt and held a jade flute in her backhand, walking slowly along the garden path.
"Who is she?"
"It's the Third Lady! Fast! Hide, she's coming to us! ”
Qin Lan was very anxious, and without saying anything, he pulled Xia Shang into the grass. Xia Shang's steps were unsteady, and he tripped after taking a few steps, and even pressed Qin Lan into the grass.
