Chapter XXII

After a long time, she heard the familiar footsteps, the steady and unhurried footsteps.

A knock sounded on the door: "Sister Fu? ”

Ave ran over and pulled the door open.

The room was small and unlit, and Ave sat in the dark, with only the moonlight coming in through the lattice.

Jin Heng was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Why don't you even turn on the lights?" So, let's go out for a walk. ”

Afu was aggrieved, she knew that he wanted to avoid suspicion and couldn't be in the same room with her.

She opened her mouth, and her voice was already hoarse: "Fourth brother, you... Are you going to avoid suspicion with Fumei? ”

Jin Heng was said to her face, but she didn't hesitate at all, and said gently: "Our Fumei has grown up, of course we can't be the same as when we were children!" ”

"Are you going to be bullied when you grow up? Can't you want what you want when you grow up? Then I don't want to grow up. ”

Afu couldn't help but be presumptuous in front of him, just like she had grown up since she was a child.

Jin Heng kept the curtain open, and he didn't mean to put it down.

By the moonlight, he quietly surveyed Afu's picturesque eyebrows.

For so many years, he had regarded her as his future wife.

He was familiar with her delicate face, even more familiar with her little faults and habits, and knew everything about her heart at every stage of her girlhood--- including now.

Afu, when people grow up, they can't want what they want.

It's like I miss you now, but I have to be outside the threshold.

Jin Heng said softly: "Some people grow up like this, but Fumei is not, Fumei will have a good time when she grows up." ”

Afu looked at him and felt far away, and she took a step forward, wanting to hold his sleeve like she had done when she was a child.

Jin Heng dodged slightly.

He still held the curtain of the door, not letting it fall on Afu's head, but his body was half a meter away, an arm's length away from her.

Afu wanted to ask him if he resented himself because he was married, but he was not "shameless" to that extent.

As soon as the night breeze blew, she also sobered up.

Afu nodded, what are you doing here? Are you angry with your husband, so you came to the fourth brother for comfort?

What are you doing with your fourth brother?

She took a long breath, took the door curtain from Jin Heng's hand, and put it down.

"Fourth brother, then I'll go." She was blessed, "You have to live well." ”

Jin Heng nodded, his expression couldn't be seen clearly under the moonlight, and his voice was still steady: "Sister Fu too, if you need help, let the third sister tell me." "He deserves to be a happy year.

Tears gathered in Afu's eyes again, Jin Heng is always like this, he has always been so decent and reliable, sometimes it makes people feel distressed.

Afu took two steps, rushed back in spite of it, hugged him for a moment, and then went out through the corner gate without looking back.

Jin Heng was stunned.

On the nose is the familiar scent of osmanthus flowers.

Nothing has changed, Fumei is like a child, whenever the osmanthus is fragrant in the season, she happily runs around the laurel tree, jumps.

Whenever a piece of osmanthus fell on her, she hid it as if she were a treasure.

When it was dry, he picked out the best ones and made sachets for him.

Jin Heng lowered his head and chuckled, this little old-fashioned sachet was sent five or six sachets in a row, but the embroiderer did not make much progress.

There was nothing empty in front of him, but Jin Heng was laughing, and he couldn't help but make Huan Nian, who came to look for him, a little nervous: "What's the matter, brother?" ”

Jin Heng turned around, saw that Huan Nian was thinly dressed, and hurriedly pushed open the door and let her into the ear room to warm up.

When the lamp was lit, the warm yellow light instantly filled the entire room, driving out the coldness of the moonlight.

Jin Heng sat opposite the New Year, gently picking up the lanterns, and there was no different color on his face.

But Huan Nian is his sister-in-law after all, and he can see at a glance that something is wrong: "Afu is willful again?" ”

Jin Heng shook his head: "She's the same as before, but I can't indulge her." ”

Huan Nian's heart is sad, yes, it's just that time has changed, people are the same, but everything has changed.

After a long time, she sighed: "You are also for her good, Fumei knows it in her heart." ”

Jin Heng nodded: "Yes." I know she's not feeling good either. ”

How easy is it in his heart?

Huan Nian said: "Then you.." She watched the bright and dark lights flashing on her brother's face, and she was suddenly afraid that he would do everything to make enemies of the Pei family.

Jin Heng looked at her and stopped talking, and smiled: "What's the matter, does the third sister think that I will go and snatch Fumei?" ”

Huan Nian was suddenly relieved, yes, Jin Heng is not such a person who is obsessed with selfish desires.

Jin Heng stood up and walked to the window.

Autumn has been thick, the bright moon is white in the sky, and the courtyard is like water.

"In this huge world, there is nothing that you must do, and I must do it."

"If I can do something good for her, I will be happy."

After Jin Heng finished speaking, he hooked the corners of his lips as if deprecating himself.

Huan Nian walked over, with a pair of big black and white eyes full of emotions, and he couldn't say anything.

She silently handed over a sachet that she had just touched on the chair, presumably left by Afu.

Jin Heng recognized it at a glance.

The embroidery that has not grown, the osmanthus fragrance that has been accompanied for more than ten years.

He took it, his fingertips quivering slightly to reveal his heart.

Huan Nian's heart became more and more sad, the more she knew that Jin Heng would not fight for it, the more frustrated and sad she felt from the bottom of her heart.

Jin Heng held a small sachet in the palm of his hand, turned his face away, and steadied for a while before saying, "Let's go, I think Mingjun's brother-in-law is also back." ”

Huan Nian nodded, opened the curtains, and the two went out one after the other.

Under the corridor, a figure moved slightly.

Huan Nian and Jin Heng whispered, but no one noticed.
