Chapter 159: Mid-Autumn Wine (Part II)
Xue didn't speak for a long time, and saw that Sima Cheng's shadow was still in place, knowing that he had been standing beside her, she couldn't move her feet, so she had to keep her head down.
Sima Cheng also stopped talking, and lowered his head like this, looking at her silently, looking at her strange hairstyle, exposed white ears, slender neck, and shoulders wrapped in black clothes...... His eyes kept looking down, and he took a closer look.
Sima Cheng couldn't help but roll his throat, he had only been separated from the person in front of him for a day, why did he feel like a world away, and at this moment, he couldn't wait to take a closer look at every part of her.
After a while, Xue wiped away her tears with her hands, and Sima Cheng saw that Xue moved, so he turned his head away in a panic and stopped looking at her.
A hint of dodging flashed in Sima Cheng's eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking, he just didn't want Xue to know that he was looking at her just now.
Xue adjusted her mood, showed a big smile, and said to Sima Cheng:
"Hmm...... Cheng Gongzi, I really know my heart, I don't know how to thank you, haha. ”
Sima Cheng spent so much effort to send herself the Taishi cake she thought about, even if she was moved to tears in her heart, but she didn't want Sima Cheng to see her crying, she felt embarrassed, and she was afraid of being laughed at by him.
At the same time, Xue didn't want to live up to Sima Cheng's good intentions, and just wanted to show him her happiest appearance.
"Taishi cakes won't taste good if they are left for a long time." Sima Cheng didn't answer, so Xue looked around to herself, "Then go eat it now." Snow casually pointed to a spot in the Imperial Garden.
Before Sima Cheng could reply, Xue had already left quickly, obviously happy, but she felt that she was about to stop laughing.
……
Xue and Sima Cheng sat in the imperial garden, neither of them spoke, surrounded by flowers and plants, it was already autumn, and occasionally one or two insect chirpings could be heard.
After sitting down, Xue felt a little regretful, and at this moment, she and Sima Cheng sat facing each other, and Xue felt a little uncomfortable.
There was silence all around, in order to alleviate this emotion, Xue hurriedly took the bag that Sima Cheng was holding, took out the Taishi cake from it, and found that there was still golden cinnamon wine, so he just drank it, maybe it would be easier to get through this moment.
Xue carefully opened the oil paper, and saw that the familiar smell lingered on the tip of her nose, which made Xue's heart warm, and the previous distractions were also left behind.
Sima Cheng watched Xue's every move with his spare eyes, his eyes passed through her eyes, her nose, and then her red lips, moving and moving, making people unable to take their eyes off.
Sima Cheng's throat rolled again, and at the same time, Sima Cheng also realized his abnormal behavior, he needed to stop this thought immediately!
So, Sima Cheng stood up suddenly, and before the snow had time to ask, "What's wrong?" Sima Cheng had already turned around and left, leaving only one sentence in a hurry: "The subordinates will retire first." ”
Sima Cheng was gone, Xue instantly felt a lot more relaxed, she looked up at the sky and the moon, in addition to sweetness in her heart, she couldn't help but think of some things in the past.
In the years when Xue first arrived at the bookstore, there were frequent wars, and the ceremony of worshiping the moon god was also terminated for several years, but Wei Shuo insisted on celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, because there was no money, Wei Shuo bought glutinous rice, pounded it into sticky potatoes, put sugar in the bread, and finally sprinkled some osmanthus flowers, imitating the appearance of Taishi cakes, and Xue ate very happily.
Every year, in addition to eating the sugar sticky potatoes made by Wei Shuo himself, he told Xue the legend of the moon and the story of Chang'e, and later, he brought back a real Taishi cake at the ceremony of sacrificing to the moon god for Xue, and Xue will never forget that taste.
In the second year, Xue followed Wei Shuo out, and it was the first time Xue came to the Bianhe River after living in the bookstore.
Although after that, as Xue became more and more sensible, she and Wei Shuo became more and more familiar, and the number of quarrels between the two became more, although Wei Shuo was soft every time, but what should be done afterwards or what, but Wei Shuo always treated her sincerely, sometimes like a brother, sometimes like a father.
Xue couldn't help but start worrying about Wei Shuo again, it was also such a night, the former warm bookstore was instantly turned to ashes, it was far less gorgeous than one percent of the imperial city, but it was irreplaceable in Xue's heart.
The sweet Taishi cake in the mouth has become tasteless, Xueyuan thinks that he likes the Mid-Autumn Festival because he likes the Taishi cake, and now think about it, maybe it is because he misses and likes to be with Wei Shuo back then, but he is still happy when he is poor, and he still does not give up, and he is happy in suffering.
Xue put down the half-eaten Taishi cake and stopped her eyes on the pot of golden cinnamon wine, just now she wanted to get drunk, she wanted to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere between herself and Sima Cheng, and now she wanted to get drunk, because she wanted to forget the beauty that she could never get again.
……
Sima Cheng walked out of the imperial garden quickly, as if he had met some flood beast, a trace of panic flashed on his calm face, and when he arrived on the ordinary stone road, Sima Cheng's footsteps gradually slowed down, panting slightly.
Sima Cheng couldn't figure out where his strange thoughts and abnormal actions just now came from, this time, it was he who lost his control, and Sima Cheng felt an unprecedented panic.
Along the way, his thoughts were chaotic, and when he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at the gate of the East Palace, and it was pitch black in the palace, Sima Cheng unconsciously glanced at the sleeping palace of the snow, knowing that there was no one, but he still couldn't help but take a look more.
Although he took a step first, Sima Cheng was still a little relieved, he sat in the shadow of the palace, if the snow came back, he could see it as soon as possible, as long as he saw her return to the East Palace.
……
When Sima Cheng first entered the East Palace, he heard the sound of the eunuch beating the bangzi, and now, the sound of beating the bangzi sounded again, and the eunuch who beat the watch had passed through the East Palace for the second time, that is, an hour had passed, but the snow had not returned.
Sima Cheng couldn't sit still, no matter what strange thoughts he had about the little emperor just now, it was just a moment when he was blinded by the moonlight, and he rushed towards the imperial garden.
……
Xue drank alone under the moon, and from time to time she muttered a few words, complaining about Wei Shuo, funny noodle restaurant Xiaonan, and missing Rong Tian...... I've said everything I can say, and the jug has bottomed out.
Xue blushed, supporting her head with one hand, she knew that she should go back to the palace, but when she came to consciousness, she found that her body was a little non-stop, Xue wanted to get up, but after trying several times, her ass seemed to be stained on the stone bench, and she couldn't stand up no matter how she got it.
After trying a few times, I don't know if I was sleepy or tired, and then I was drunk, so Xue simply gave up the struggle and sat obediently on the stone bench, with one hand on his head and the other hand swinging wildly, as if he was doing something.
