Chapter 026: Enough is enough
The news that Shi Lei and Xiaozhu were going to get married spread throughout Lushui Village, including everyone who lived in Mo Liju. Seeing Xiaozhu appear today, everyone stepped forward to surround her and ask about gossip.
Finally, Xiaozhu squeezed out of the crowd, looking hurried and looking around.
"Little shrimp, do you see Sister Luo? I'm looking for her. β
She shouted.
"She's been obsessed with fishing lately, isn't she out in the fish pond today?" Xiao Shrimp didn't pay much attention, she knew that her sister was used to being alone on weekdays, and she didn't like others to inquire about her whereabouts.
"No, you have her number, can you help me contact her? "She looked preoccupied, a little abnormal.
It is said that people are in good spirits at happy events, Shi Lei is willing to choose to stay in Lushui Village to build a home with her, and he also bought a piece of land next to her house, ready to build a small bungalow, and now the excavator is working with great fanfare. Her parents also agreed to their marriage, and the dates were chosen, and they waited for the new house to be completed and married her.
She shouldn't have looked so sad, could it be that things have changed? The people around her gathered together and whispered.
At this time, Liluo was not by the fish pond outside Mo Liju, she appeared in Qingtan early in the morning, and was sitting on the big stone in the middle of the pond at the moment, wearing a big straw hat on her head, covering her whole face. I don't know if she's closing her eyes or wandering around.
She arrived here on time at four o'clock this morning, but she didn't meet Si Yu. The day before, Si Yu told her that when she cultivated to the third layer, she could continue to cultivate indoors without absorbing the aura of heaven and earth outside. As soon as she reached the third-level realm, he didn't come, and he didn't say hello.
She was so difficult to serve, and she deliberately made things difficult for him in every way, probably wanting to escape from her for a long time.
That's fine.
Without him, she could still cultivate on her own.
Out of sight and out of mind, she still doesn't believe it.
As it turned out, she couldn't calm down at all.
In just over two months, they just practiced with each other, and the two did not disturb each other except for the topic of cultivation.
Just because of the night and night relationship during this time, she unknowingly became dependent on him?
Without him, she wouldn't be able to improve her skills?
This realization made her distraught and unable to concentrate on cultivation at all. So, she tossed around here for most of the night, but did nothing. In the end, simply sit on the stone in a daze.
When Si Yu appeared, he saw such a picture. In the middle of the secluded Qingtan Lake, there is a beautiful woman in white clothes, meditating on the stone, wearing a big straw hat, covering her whole face, a little weird but quite harmonious with the surrounding scenery.
He was unwilling to break this hard-won harmonious picture, so he walked lightly under the water and washed his face with water.
Liluo had already discovered that her woven straw hat could provide shade from the sun and wind, and it was covered with many small holes, which could also be hidden. As soon as he appeared, she watched intently through the little holes.
He was covered in mud and dirty, and his face was covered with mud and grass clippings, as if he had rolled in the dirt. Looking at him like this, it doesn't look like he just rubbed it, some of the mud is dry, and it is falling down layer by layer. So it seems that he didn't go out this morning. So what did he do last night?
Liluo was puzzled.
The surroundings of Qingtan are unusually quiet, only the crisp chirping of birds and insects and the sound of the stream flowing happily can be heard.
The sudden ringing of the mobile phone broke the tranquility of the surroundings and the subtle emotions of the two when they were alone. She ripped off her hat, he stopped washing his face, and the two looked together, followed by subconsciously running away.
The scene suddenly became a little awkward. Si Yu cleared his throat unnaturally, straightened up and said to her, "Your phone is ringing, I'll help you get it." β
She likes to hang her bag on a tree every time she comes to avoid accidentally stepping on it or putting it on the ground to get dirty.
She tried to get up from the rock, but found that her legs and feet were numb and she couldn't move. She sat in this position for too long, and her legs and feet did not obey.
The phone rings relentlessly. The big rock she was sitting on was several meters away from the edge of the pool, and she needed to push back to the shore, but it was clear that she would not be able to get over it for a while.
Si Yu saw that, without saying a word, his whole body was immersed in the water, raised his right hand holding the mobile phone, and walked towards her step by step. In the depths of winter, the water temperature is extremely low. Especially in this deep pool of water that does not see sunlight all year round.
Liluo was dumbfounded.
"What are you anxious about? I'll call back later. "A phone call, as for the cold water, he didn't hesitate to flow over, this is relying on his body to be tough, have skills, and are not afraid of getting sick.
"It's okay, I'm dirty, just take a wash. "He was soaked in water and could still keep his face from changing color, as if nothing happened. It's like soaking in a hot spring.
She remembered the last night that had not appeared, and this morning she appeared in mud again, and was about to ask what happened. The phone rang again.
She pressed the answer button.
Si Yu silently swam away and sank into the water. He is a righteous gentleman, do not listen to incivility, and do not look at incivility.
In fact, the water in the middle of the pool is not too cold, and he has an abnormal physique, so he often swims here, which is really a big feeling. But she looks a little sullen today, could it be because of his missed appointment this morning?
He emerged from the water and locked onto her with an inquiring gaze. She was listening, her eyes down, and she answered the phone quietly. A ray of sunlight shone down on her through the layers of leaves, reflecting a dazzling light. Like a lifelike statue of a goddess. He looked at her fixedly, lost in thought.
A few drops of water fell on his face, and he came back to his senses and met a pair of deep pool-like eyes. I suddenly realized that I was staring at her like I was distracted, and I was a little flustered.
"I'm sorry, Iβjustβ" He stumbled, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"What are you thinking, so obsessed?" Lilo thought he was weird today. But she didn't have time to think about it now, Xiaozhu was looking for her everywhere, she was very anxious, she had to go back quickly.
She stood up, picked up the bamboo pole, stood on the raft, and prepared to go back to the shore. Si Yu gave up explaining, only smiled and didn't speak, and silently stepped forward and pushed the bamboo raft.
"I had to go back beforehand. Back on the shore, she asked him casually while picking up her bag, "Are you still here to practice tonight?" β
"I've had something to do these days, and I may not be able to come. He said.
A hint of disappointment drifted across her face, and in a flash, she lifted her face and smiled brightly. "Well, I'll practice indoors in the future. β
Hurriedly left, didn't take a few steps, and the smile on his face gradually became bitter.
She shook her head and quickened her pace.
Si Yu looked at her back, and tried to shout at her several times, but she couldn't help it. There are some things that you know you can't do, but you can only do it in moderation.
