Chapter 265: Umbrella Sharing
Jinghu and Ke Mingxu continued to walk forward together, the night gradually sank, and the originally lively street gradually became deserted.
They talked and walked as they went, and they were about to reach the end of the street, and when they looked back, they realized that Xie Chiying and Mr. Zhou had really not followed.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and soon Jinghu felt the rain fall on her cheeks, even though it was a summer night, the night breeze was still a little cooler.
Jinghu's umbrella was in Ke Mingxu's hand, he quickly held the umbrella, and then handed it to her, "It's going to rain again, the little county lord takes the umbrella." ”
Jinghu took the umbrella in his hand, he had always held the handle of the umbrella, and his body temperature was still on it, she originally felt a little cold, and the temperature of the lovely admirer also quieted her heart.
Ke Mingxu soon held up an umbrella for himself, and they still walked side by side, the rain that kept falling fell on their umbrella surface, falling along the arc of the umbrella surface, and pulling a beaded curtain around them.
There were people on all sides who were drenched in the rain and took refuge under the eaves, and the festival seemed to end in an instant.
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know where Sister Ying and the teacher are at the moment. Why don't you go and look for them, and go back to the ship as soon as possible. ”
Jinghu nodded, "What Lord Xiao Ke said is that maybe they are still in the place where the Fang Cai Poetry Club is, let's go and take a look." As soon as she finished speaking, there was another cold wind, and the rain was blown into her neck, and she couldn't help but shrink back.
"Is it cold?" Ke Mingxu looked at her with concern, and his tone was gentle, "It's better to find a place to shelter from the rain first, maybe the teacher also found a place to shelter from the rain first." ”
After all, they don't need to be in such a hurry, instead of walking back in the rain in a bit of embarrassment, it is better to wait quietly for the rain to stop.
Jinghu is so good, this rain seems to have quieted the whole world, only the heavy rain is falling around, and the sound of water on the bluestone slab.
There weren't many people still walking on the road with umbrellas, and Jinghu turned his face sideways and looked at Ke Mingxu.
They were so close that she could smell the crisp scent of pines and cypresses on him, and listen to him talk about some interesting festivals and customs related to Qixi Festival, but at this time they were a little farther away, half an umbrella and half an umbrella away.
She looked at him quietly for a moment, and he looked back at her with a little doubt in his eyes. The next moment, Jinghu quickly collected his umbrella and hid under his umbrella.
"Master Ke, I'm so cold." He was the one who asked her.
He didn't react much, just tilted his umbrella slightly to her side. There was a family in front of him, the candlelight had been extinguished, so he shouldn't be disturbed too much, "Why don't we hide there for a while." ”
Jinghu reached out and grabbed his arm holding the umbrella, "Okay." ”
Xie Chiying watched them go in this direction, if they wanted to find each other, they shouldn't miss each other.
Ke Mingxu wanted to put away the umbrella, and Jinghu naturally let go. "Fortunately, when we went out, Sister Liu Huang reminded us to bring an umbrella, otherwise wouldn't it be difficult to move an inch in such weather?"
Then she won't have the opportunity to share an umbrella with her and save him. He didn't react all the time, at least Jinghu didn't see it, he just led her with a calm expression and hid under the eaves.
"Tiangong is not too reluctant to be beautiful, and we have already seen the festival in full view. Maybe the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky have already told each other their heartfelt feelings, and it is the Queen Mother who wants to separate them. ”
The rain continued to fall down the eaves, and a weeping willow was planted on the other side of the road, swaying in the wind and rain.
"If the little county lord feels cold, why don't you stand behind me, and you can more or less block the wind for you. Today, I only wore one piece of clothing, and I couldn't find anything that could protect you from the cold. ”
Jinghu glanced at him, and the left half of his shoulder seemed to be wet from the rain. At this moment, he still has to stand in front of her, sheltering him from the wind and rain.
On a rainy night in the summer in Jiangnan, the wind direction is uncertain. Then he blew the weeping willow branch in this direction, and the next moment he changed direction.
Jinghu stood in front of Ke Mingxu, "If it weren't for me to share an umbrella with Lord Xiao Ke, Lord Xiao Ke's clothes wouldn't be so wet, in fact, I can also shield Lord Xiao Ke from the wind, and I wear more clothes than Lord Xiao Ke." ”
He glanced over at her, "No, I don't feel cold. You'd better stand behind me and hold this box in hand, but don't give it to me later and find it turned into muddy water. ”
Jinghu was still holding the grinding music that he was going to give to him.
He was a man after all, and probably wouldn't be used to being cared for by a woman younger than himself.
So Jinghu smiled a little embarrassedly and stood back behind him, "Then Lord Ke should also be careful, my gifts, as well as Sister Liu Huang's gifts, are still in your hands." ”
He also took the mill that he was going to give her, and carried the basket of rabbit puppets for her.
Ke Mingxu smiled, "The heavy rain seems to have suddenly turned this place into Yangzhou City in ordinary times." Today is a worthwhile trip. ”
The lanterns on both sides of the road for Tanabata were soon extinguished by the rain, and the businessmen who peddled all kinds of knick-knacks were no longer seen, and there were fewer and fewer people hiding from the rain under the eaves, perhaps all of them went home.
"It's like when it rains, there's no difference between places. Yanjing also has such a stone road, there are also such weeping willows, and there are also such times when the moonlight and candlelight are dim. ”
"I heard that the most beautiful time in Yangzhou is when the city is full of Qionghua, and I don't know if I can have the opportunity to come to Yangzhou when the Qionghua is in full bloom in this life."
Ke Mingxu looked back at her, "The little county lord is still young, why did he suddenly make such pessimistic remarks." There are still decades left in life, and there will always be opportunities. ”
But the Qionghua in Yangzhou City blooms every year, but she may not have the opportunity to be with him every year, Jinghu stretched out a finger and waved it in front of him, "Master Xiao Ke won't understand." ”
Besides, he is a man, born in this world, and he is much freer than a woman like her.
"Does the little county lord think that as a woman, I'm afraid he won't often have the opportunity to travel?" The secular concept is that as a woman, following her father at home and marrying her husband, freedom is indeed something that you can't even see.
It's okay, even if she is the county lord, not everything can go smoothly. Jinghu nodded, "Even if you have the opportunity to go out, maybe the people around you are not the people you want." ”
"Master Xiao Ke, if one day in the future, you can have the opportunity to see the scene of Qionghua full of Yangzhou, will you think of me?"
