15. Plum

Lin Ying knew that his words must have been carefully thought out, and he sounded sincere when he said it, but he didn't know how long he had been thinking about it in his heart.

If these words were heard by any girl from any family in Beijing, Xu Shiren would have already been stupid with joy.

But Lin Ying Assassin sat inside the door, although he was moved, and he was not the kind of person who died to read, but he was also more enlightened. These mentalities are also arbitrary, and they don't have to find a woman to marry.

After a long time of hard life, I feel that as long as I live smoothly, it will be fine, but there is still an inexplicable rejection.

When Chi Pin and He Jian were together, Chi Pin once asked him: Weizhi, have you never been tempted, that feeling that as long as it is him, everything next to him can be?

In the past few days that Luo Yan has come, he has asked himself this sentence countless times, but he has never received an answer.

Tempted? He didn't know. He only knew that he had connived at Luo Yan's step-by-step pressing again and again. It's not just because of his kindness to save Jin Shicai, but every time, the feeling in my heart is not so much uneasy as an inexplicable throbbing.

Over the years, in order to climb to a high position, he has never talked about feelings, and he is a real novice in love. Originally, Jin Shicai's matter, he had lost a reason that seemed to be a pillar of life, but one night something like this happened, his thoughts were really chaotic, and he couldn't ease up for a while.

But the more I thought about Luo Yan in my heart, the more I felt that my mind was full of Luo Yan.

The stalemate continued into the evening.

Lin Ying wrapped his head in the quilt in the room, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and all kinds of pictures kept surging in his head.

Luo Yan stood stunned under the eaves, from the sunny weather to the clouds, and then to the snow in the sky, his face has been frozen, and his eyes have not moved away for a long time.

Since there was a heavy snow on the Shangyuan Festival more than half a month ago, I found a reason to forcibly live in this Lin Mansion, which can be regarded as welcome.

Now it is snowing again, and it is more like an ironic farewell to determine that he can no longer settle in this Lin Mansion.

It was as if a heavy snow never stopped, and he stood in the forest mansion and had a daydream. The snow foam flew sideways in the sky, landed on the green silk, landed on the feather shirt, fell into the neck, and turned into a burst of biting water droplets, sliding down the body.

When it was time for dinner, Chi Ping finally got free and took care of it with Lilac.

The table resting in the door had already been moved by Lin Ying, and when they pushed the door in, Lin Ying took a look at the crack, only to find that Luo Yan had disappeared.

"Adults have slept for a day and a night, get up and eat something, sir, he just left, don't be hungry again."

Lilac followed Chi Hire, patted the snow on her body, and said this casually while resting the lunch box in her hand on the table. Before she finished speaking, Chi Ping hurriedly bumped her into her and made a look, she immediately understood that it was her own slip of the tongue, pursed her lips and lowered her head, and came over to freshen up for Lin Ying in silence.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky outside, and the wind was squeezing in through the cracks in the windows, which was really freezing.

Lin Ying buried his head in eating, and Lilac went out to get red carbon from the dining room and lit the stove. And Chi Ping was sitting in front of Lin Ying and looked at him quietly, not knowing what to think about.

The three of them were silent in the room, so quiet that they could even hear the sound of breathing clearly, and their hearts always felt pinched, and the atmosphere was so stiff that it seemed that they could form ice cubes.

Lin Yingfang was angry, but he didn't know why, he heard Luo Yan's words, and saw that he had been standing under the eaves, so he moved the table with a soft heart.

There should have been a hint of longing for him to say something more, or simply force his way in. But he still has to pretend to deceive himself, this matter is not caused by himself, and there is no need to turn him away.

Fang just looked through his eyes, and saw that there was no figure outside, and there was a sense of loss in his heart, even he didn't realize it, he was so hopeful that Luo Yan could hold on a little longer, as in the past, and begged him for forgiveness, so he could go down this step.

Unconsciously, the three plates of side dishes on the table had bottomed out, and Lin Ying held chopsticks in the empty bowl in front of him, with a demented expression. When Lilac came over and snatched the chopsticks from his hand, he suddenly reacted, with some embarrassment on his face: "I'm just, I'm too hungry!" ”

Chi Ping stayed in Lin Ying's house for a long time, and during this period, He Jianlai casually found an excuse to call Chi Ping away. Lin Ying was unhappy, and was about to wave his hand to signal Lilac to go down, when suddenly there was a chaotic footstep outside the house.

"What happened?"

He raised one hand in the air, and his eyes swept towards Lilac.

Lilac was also confused, put down the plate that was being picked up on the table, and hurriedly opened the curtain and went out to find out.

After a while, he entered the house and replied: "It's Lord Shang Shuluo, who said that he bought a Merlin on the outskirts of the city, hired someone to pout some, and moved to the house, and is busy working outside the adult's door at the moment, I have already told you to rest, tell them to slow down!" ”

Lin Ying's brows suddenly frowned, since he hadn't been in this mansion for long, he hadn't come to intercede with him, he was just tossing and turning for a while, and he really didn't know what he wanted to do.

He deliberately pretended to be quite casual in his tone, and asked, "Lord Shangshu, can others be outside the door?" ”

Lilac nodded, and he asked again, "Why do you want to load plum blossoms in my courtyard?" ”

This time, Lilac didn't understand, pouted and shook her head: "This slave doesn't know, Lord Shangshu is outside the door, if you want to know, it's better to ask yourself." ”

After finishing speaking, he packed up the lunch box neatly, stood still for a while, and saw that Lin Ying didn't have any orders, so he bowed down and saluted: "If the lord has nothing to order, the slave and maid will retreat first!" ”

Lin Ying nodded and waved his hand, then leaned on the table and sighed, only feeling helpless, and finally fell down on the bed again, staring at the door with his eyes wide open.

It was about the beginning of the child's time that the courtyard finally fell silent. After being quiet for a long time, a flute suddenly sounded, calling Lin Ying, who was lying on the bed and had already dozed off.

Lin Ying didn't have to study the rhythm, so he couldn't quite understand what the song was and what it was saying. I just suddenly remembered that among the luggage that Luo Yan moved that day, there seemed to have been a jade flute, and there was a jade carved "green" character on the tassel tassel on it.

Gentle and tactful, with a hint of melancholy in the middle, the sound wafts into the room, winding around the beams endlessly, and suddenly makes people feel uncomfortable in their eyes.

didn't want this young man who didn't learn and didn't know how to do such an elegant thing, Lin Ying felt interesting, an empty heart, and finally comforted again at this moment.

After a while, he finally came to his senses, got up from his bed, and gently tore a crack in the window to look into the courtyard.

The stone lamps on the courtyard are bright, I don't know when a few more were added, more than a dozen are lined up in a row, and the courtyard hall is as bright as the day.

Beside the lamp, the plum trees have been planted, and the large areas are lined up, calling the way where only one person is left in the yard, and the dark brown trunks have been hidden by the dark night, and the flowers and bones that are blooming above are delicate and white, as if they have been greased and whitened.

The wind left a mark and sprinkled the fat on the ground. It's just that there's no one outside.

Seeing that it was not too early, Lin Ying suddenly remembered that when Chi Ping left, he specially told him to go and offer incense to Mr. Jin before going to bed.

Fang Cai Luo Yan had been outside the door, and he forgot about it when he fell asleep, and now that he saw the opportunity, he cautiously pushed open the door and lifted the curtain and walked out.

It's just that this time it was not easy, like a thief who sneaked into the house, and kept staring at the side along the way, lest Luo Yan have something to do.

Until he returned to the backyard porch, everything was still strangely quiet. He lifted the flower branches that stood in the way, scattered the petals on the ground, and had a bad premonition, so he hurriedly hurried to the step, and a fierce man pricked out the plum blossom bush, and Luo Yan who was holding a purple clay pot of genuine tea in front of him.

looked at each other, looking at his prosperous appearance that could not be found in Beijing, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his lips grinned slightly, all flirtatious. What came to Lin Ying's mind was his unrestrained honesty this morning.

Swallowed slightly, and didn't know how to speak. Lin Ying didn't have an idea in his heart, so he hurriedly ran in the direction of the house, and he really wanted to find an object to separate himself from Luo Yan. But Luo Yan got up and grabbed him, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

"What do you do?"

Although Lin Ying's heart was weak, his face was still calm. The expression and eyes were full of boredom and disdain.

Luo Yan didn't answer anything, stretched out his hand and pulled it suddenly, Lin Ying turned around on the ground for half a circle, and before he could react to what happened, he was already sitting in Luo Yan's arms.

"How long do you have to be angry, the plum blossoms in this courtyard are all to make amends for you."

"I didn't ask you to do anything." Lin Ying was still cold, as if suddenly two icebergs collided in one place, struggling to break free from his arms.

"You let go of me, let go of me!"

Fortunately, Luo Yan was happy and sad in front of Lin Ying, and he still had some faces. Hearing this, he was a little lost at first, but he quickly showed a gentle smile again, and said slowly:

"I know that you are obsessed with tea, and there must be no shortage of good tea in the house. I remember when I was looking through ancient books, I accidentally saw that the snow on the plum blossom melted to pour tea, and the tea was filled with plum fragrance, so I thought I would let you try it. ”

He was completely silent when Lin Ying was, and didn't discuss anything with him, just confiding out in a heap. One hand dragged Lin Ying's arm, and the other hand stretched out and poured a cup of tea, gently touching Lin Ying's mouth.
