The fifth sister nodded on the surface and seemed to be very serious, but in fact, she didn't take it seriously at all, and her half-lowered eyes were thinking about something else.

Zhao Fei looked at me with those overly yin eyes, I couldn't dodge, collided with her sight, she smiled lightly, her red lips moved slightly, three very simple words, even if she didn't make a sound, it was not difficult to guess: I'm sorry!

Although what she said was a little uncomfortable, it was true, and I didn't hear anything wrong, why did she apologize to me for doing so much, but it made me a little concerned, and reversed the conversation they had just said several times in my mind.

Zhao Fei left before the meal again, and the fifth sister knew her temperament, so she didn't leave it, and sent her out.

After everyone dispersed, only the fifth sister and I were left in the pavilion, and the girl who served me saw that the tea party was over, so she came forward to take me back, and saw the fifth sister standing there motionless, bowed and stepped aside.

"You go back first, I'll send my little sister later." The tone of this sentence was very calm, and her expression was also calm, but this calm made me extremely uncomfortable, and before the storm came, it was also so quiet and peaceful that people were frightened.

I pinched a corner and stood in the shadow cast by the figure of the fifth sister, and if I could, I would even like to merge with this shallow but imperceptible shadow.

She stretched out her hand, her fingers that had never been stained with spring water were white and delicate, and I hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out my hand.

The fifth sister's fingers are like porcelain enamel, so cold that she can't feel the slightest temperature, even Zhao Fei's hands are warmer than hers, and I don't dare to approach them.

She had never been so cold as she was today, nor had she been so silent as she was today, and the smile that had always been on her pretty face was gone, and she seemed to have something unhappy about.

"Xuan'er." The fifth sister suddenly called my name, and I looked up, her eyes staring away, not at me.

"Hmm." I answered.

The fifth sister didn't stop, and her speech was as unhurried as her pace: "Do you like Yujing, do you want to be with him all the time?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, she asked me so bluntly, I didn't know how to answer, I was distressed, but she suddenly smiled: "Do you know what liking is?" ”

So I was silent again, this time on purpose.

"Fifth sister will give you everything you want, the next time you see Yujing, tell him that you don't like him and don't want to play with him, okay?" She looked at me, and the smile on her lips seemed to be engraved, making people feel frightened.

Seeing that I didn't answer, she said again: "Okay, you just need to stay away from him, remember?" ”

This time my silence did not escape her questioning, she held my hand suddenly let go, both hands pinched my shoulders, nails were about to puncture the clothes on the shoulders and inserted into the flesh: "You have to be a good boy, you have to be obedient!" ”

Her eyes were staring straight at me, with indifference written in her eyes, but the smile on her lips never dropped.

I was a little scared, these fears had nowhere to hide, so they were all revealed on my face, and my retreat made her recover a little bit of her senses, put away that expression, and held up her previous elegance and gentleness: "Didn't it scare you, my sister didn't mean to be so serious, just to teach you some truths, and it's also for your good, you know?" ”

I didn't dare to hesitate for half a minute this time, and nodded: "Well, Xuan'er remembered." ”

Hearing this, the hand that had been holding me tightly only loosened slightly.

I never knew what she meant by telling me this, firstly, I had not seen Yujing alone at all recently, and secondly, Yin Yin was the fifth sister who had taken advantage of the scenery, but she was very jealous of me for no reason.

I really can't figure it out, but the two things that can't be thought of together make me a little eyebrows, first Zhao Fei said to me "I'm sorry", and then the fifth sister's unshady words, could it be that I am worried about my identity as a county lord who is just in vain?

Pei'er was also quite surprised to see that the fifth sister sent me back, and carefully probed before going to bed, and saw that I had no energy, thinking that I was sleepy, and did not ask any more questions, blew out the light next to the bed, and walked out lightly.

Her footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and the room where I had been used to sleeping was suddenly a little empty, I had always liked to be quiet, but the silence at the moment only made me anxious.

"Sister Pei." I shouted, and the footsteps stopped, followed by a low inquiry, "Miss?" ”

I sat up wrapped in the quilt and said, "Can you stay with me for a while?" I can't sleep. ”

The light was near, and there were several shadows floating in it, and Pell held the candlestick in one hand, and the wind brought up by walking with the other, and the yellow light was dimmed into a warm orange.

I gave up my place, and Pei put the lampstand and sat down, she was about the same age as the second sister, the best age of seventeen or eighteen, her hair was as smooth as ink, she looked up, and the luster in her eyes was so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off it—she didn't have such an outstanding appearance, but she had a meekness that ordinary people couldn't match, a ball of thick honey, and it made people feel sweet when they looked at it.

"Does the young lady want to hear the story, or do you want to guess riddles with the slave?" When I can't sleep, I basically rely on these two ways to play time.

I shook my head and said, "Sing me a song!" ”

Sometimes Pei will unconsciously hum some minor tunes, although I don't know what to sing, but the melody is melodious and comfortable, I like it very much.

She snorted casually, and her gentle voice soothed my tiredness, as if I had returned to my childhood, hiding in my mother's arms and not knowing the complicated little girl in the world, and soon fell asleep.
