The aroma of wine is faint and does not relieve worries
Ling Xiao jumped on tiptoe, and only half a blurry afterimage was left in the courtyard in an instant.
With the night breeze, she landed lightly on the roof, and in an instant a wisp of wine wafted from the front, making her frown. Walked over and sat down next to the cold lonely shadow, turned his head to look at him, and the words that came out of his mouth were very soft: "What? Drinking? ”
"Well, it's so late, why hasn't Xiao Xiao slept yet?" Lu Jingxing held a wine jug in his hand and turned his head to look at her, his voice low and slightly hoarse.
His calm face was half-hidden in the moonlight, but the sorrow in his eyes did not escape her clear eyes. As for why he, who doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, why he drank for no reason tonight, she already knew in her heart, and it was for this reason that she came. The words of the morning did not seem to be clear enough, and she could see that he still had a knot in his heart, and she could not let go of it.
She reached out and snatched his wine jug from Lu Jingxing before she could react, deliberately mixed a hint of sternness in her tone: "You are not allowed to drink behind my back in the future." Didn't you deliberately not accompany me tonight because you were stealing wine and drinking? So if you don't go, I'll come to you. ”
"How? Don't be angry, it's just a whim, and it won't be in the future. He looked at her pretended serious face, hooked his lips lightly, and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist.
How could she not know that he said this on purpose, just to not let her know the anguish in his heart.
Her expression gradually returned to her usual calm and indifference, looked straight ahead, looked at the jagged and undulating roofs in the haze, and called him softly: "Jingxing." ”
He replied softly, "Huh? What's wrong? ”
She clasped her hands on her knees, didn't look at him, and sighed softly: "You and I have experienced so much, in terms of feelings, is it not as good as the meager past between me and Yanlingzhan when I was a child?" What if I regain my memory? Our feelings are not meant to be worn out. A little confidence, okay? Besides, I didn't have any amnesia at all, so how could I get my memory back. ”
"But your third brother is right, you have forgotten the past with the prince after all, I am just worried......" The latter words were not said again, and there was silence between the two.
She is not only the person he likes, but also his bosom friend, and he doesn't want to lose her. But as soon as he thought of that possibility, he couldn't help but worry, and his heart was sad, so he could only drink some wine to relieve it, but the result didn't seem to have much effect, and he was even bumped into by her.
If she really remembered those and wanted to return to Yanlingzhan, then at that time, he could only choose to let go, just because he didn't want to see her sad.
The night breeze blew gently, with a slight itch in the coolness, Ling Xiao raised his hand and brushed the fine hair on his forehead, and finally turned his head to look at him again, with a serious expression, and said softly: "Jing Xing, believe me, what you are worried about will never happen." Unless ......, I'm dead......" And the real Zhongli is back.
In the second half of the sentence, she didn't say it after all, and she didn't know whether to tell him her true identity, but if she did, would he believe it? She's also struggling.
"Xiao Xiao, don't talk nonsense!" His voice was a little urgent, staring at her slowly opening lips in disbelief, he could never have imagined that she would say such a thing.
Four blurred lines of sight looked at each other silently for a long time through the bright and quiet moonlight, he put his arms around her slender waist, bowed his head, and kissed her lips in a hurry, forcing her to feel a soft coldness for an instant.
There was a faint smell of wine between his lips and teeth, and he kissed her until her cheeks were hot. His kiss tonight was particularly domineering, predatory and eager, like never before. If he didn't care about her and was afraid of losing, how could he be like this?
She put her arms around his neck and tried to respond, but she still didn't seem to satisfy him.
Because she was too focused, suddenly, she sat on her side on the sloping roof and didn't step steadily, her feet slipped, and her whole body trembled, interrupting the kiss. If she hadn't been hugged tightly by him, she would have fallen by now.
The wine jug beside him slid down the tile, and with a crisp sound, it was shattered, and the ground sprinkled with moonlight was more wet, and the faint aroma of wine overflowed, drifting away in the breeze.
He glanced up at her intently, a playful smile crossing his lips. He just turned his head and glanced at the broken flask on the ground, then jumped around her waist, turned around and flew into the house from mid-air, and closed the door.
The dim light flickered, lining the tent in a hazy way, and the two of them lay down in their clothes. At this moment, the kiss was enough, and he finally let go of her lips, but still hugged her, chuckling at her contentedly, looking at the blush on her face, and his heart was happy.
She was a little embarrassed by him, so she simply turned her head away and looked at the inside of the bed. She thought that tonight he would involuntarily cross the last taboo between them, and she was ready to give it to him, but he didn't, not even his hands. This couldn't help but make her heart happy, knowing that she had really met the right person.
After he moved, he propped up his head slightly, looked at the lights outside the tent, a few flicks of his fingers in the air, the internal force passed, the lights went out instantly, and darkness and silence crept in, leaving only a little moonlight in the window.
Suddenly feeling that it was dark in front of her, she was slightly stunned and turned her head: "Why did you turn off the light?" I'll be back later. ”
"It's okay, I'll send you back tomorrow morning, and I promise that no third person will know." There was a hint of laughter in his clear voice, and at the same time a hint of amusement, and as he spoke, he reached out and pulled the thin jacket over the two of them. In August, the night was already a little cool.
When she heard him say this, she naturally thought of the night of his birthday, because she drank half a glass of wine, she ended up drunk in his arms, and finally spent the night with him, so that the whole house knew about it. At this time, seeing that he was joking in his words, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and snorted softly: "You! ”
A smile on his lips bloomed into the darkness, silent, and she didn't say much. There was silence all around, insects chirped outside the window, and the two were silent, and they could feel each other's gentle breathing.
"Actually, even if I didn't fall into the rivers and lakes, our fate would still not be broken. It's just because of the piano you gave me, and then I went to Zhenggongzhai to look for you a few times, but the shopkeeper said that you had left. I think even if I wait, I can wait until you show up again. After a moment of silent thought, her voice was low and calm, sounding in the silence after a long time, but it still seemed a little abrupt.
He raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "Why do you have to see me?" ”
"I was just curious, I wanted to meet you. The shopkeeper also said that you will go again. In fact, the most difficult thing for people to resist is their own curiosity, and I am no exception. I just wanted to meet the person who gave the instrument and ask him why he did it. She put a hand on him, her head pressed gently to his side, as if whispering, in a small voice.
At this moment, both of their eyes had adapted to the dark environment, and by the faint light that penetrated into the tent, he looked at her side face that could only see a little outline, and asked softly: "But then you know it's me, why don't you ask me again?" ”
The gentle breath swept on her face intermittently, she turned her head slightly, and raised her eyes to look at him: "That night under the pear tree, when you told me about this, didn't you already give me the answer?" Why bother asking. Because of the sound of the piano, so through the carved grid, you remember my appearance, am I right? ”
"Xiao Xiao is right. If it was your third brother who played the piano at that time, I am afraid that he would be the one I remember. After all, you have to remember a person, in the case of an unknown surname, you have to see the person's appearance clearly, otherwise if you encounter it next time, how to identify it? He couldn't help but laugh to himself, but at the same time he felt glad that the diary had stopped her.
Maybe as she said, their fate will not be broken because she has not fallen into the rivers and lakes, as long as she vaguely remembers each other in her heart, there will be a chance to meet after all. Besides, their first encounter was not in the cabin in the first place, but she didn't know it at the time, but he remembered it clearly.
The two were silent for a while, and after a while, his low and flat voice came into her ears again: "Xiao Xiao, the wooden trees outside the city have opened one after another, and I will take you to enjoy it in two days." ”
"Okay." She replied in a low voice, and added casually, "Before I know it, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here again, and time flies so fast." ”
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and blurted out the words of doubt: "Mid-Autumn Festival? ”
"Nothing. Needless to say, I'm sleepy. She was slightly embarrassed and then shut up. One hand was still on his body, and her head leaned to his side again, and she could feel the temperature and familiar breath on his body, which made her feel at ease and close her eyes quietly.
Her sudden reaction made him look down at her and smile. Seeing her snuggling up to him quietly, breathing soothingly, he stopped talking, hugged her tightly for two more minutes, and then closed his eyes comfortably, and the room fell into complete silence.
The two of them did not fall asleep immediately, although they both closed their eyes and did not move anymore, but they each had something on their minds.
She hesitated to tell him her secret, and if so, how would she tell it? And how can I convince him, after all, this matter is too shocking.
And her third brother, although Zhong Limu has promised to keep it secret for her, but when he returns to Jundu, will he tell Yunhou about her whereabouts and what they have seen because he can't bear it for a while?
What if Yunhou insisted on asking her to go back? Would her father sacrifice her for the sake of profit? Marriage with Yanlingzhan is not only beneficial to Yanlingzhan, but also beneficial to their Zhongli family, which is mutual.
Or, Yun Hou doesn't look at the interests of the family, but only considers the holy decree, Yun Hou is afraid that he doesn't want the family to be held responsible for violating the holy decree, right? That will push their family into dire straits, and just give someone with a heart the opportunity to make a big fuss about it. In order to take care of the overall situation, Yun Hou couldn't bear it, and he would never get her wish.
