Chapter 44: Sleeping in the Same Bed

The footsteps stopped at a step away from the young man, looking at the look of expectation and panic in his eyes, Ruoxin exclaimed with emotion: "Little Si'er." ”

The familiar call made the young man's eyes moisten all of a sudden, he stepped forward, hugged Ruoxin in his arms, buried his head between her neck, and called out in a slightly choked voice, "Sister Ah Li, Sister Ah Li......"

Ruoxin was a little emotional and a little happy, but she didn't expect that after six years of not seeing, her little junior brother Shang Si had grown a little taller than her, once, she held him in her arms, and now, although his body is still delicate, he can firmly embrace her.

Hugging on the street, it is indeed a bit appalling in Wanchun County, where the folk customs are simple. It's just that Ruoxin never minded the eyes of others, let the pedestrians point and whisper, still happily hugged her beloved little brother, reached out and gently patted his back.

Guan Dashao, who was standing on the side, also widened his eyes, and after a long time, he held back a sentence, "Hmph, in front of the public, it is really shameless to hug and hug a man." ”

But don't look at it, but this young master Guan still can't help the curiosity in his heart, and stares at the two of them intently.

After the emotions in her heart calmed down a little, Ruoxin held Shang Si's shoulder, separated some distance, and looked at him seriously.

The delicate face is still childish, cute like a little girl. Whether it was the seven-year-old boy who came up the mountain at the beginning, or the handsome scholar in front of him who had already drawn his body, his appearance was not much different from what she remembered, the two eyebrows were still so long and delicate, the black eyes were as clear as ever, the thin lips with a shy smile were always under the straight nose, and the white and red cheeks were still slightly bulging. Ruoxin always gently pinched his little cheeks when he was a child, and jokingly said that these were two small steamed buns.

And this cute little junior brother said to her very seriously, "If Sister Ah Li is hungry, Xiao Si'er's little steamed buns will be eaten by Sister Ah Li." ”

Thinking of the interesting things in the past, Ruoxin smiled and pinched his cheek, not forcefully, but extremely intimate.

Shang Si blushed slightly, but let Ruoxin move, and did not resist. He lowered his head and reached out to pull Ruoxin's other hand and held it in the palm of his hand, touched her much thinner wrist with some distress, and asked, "Sister Ah Li, how have you been doing all these years?" “

Ruoxin didn't know how to describe her life in Baijia Village, and she didn't want her junior brother to worry about her, so she simply replied, "I'm fine." “

Gently touching the back of Ruoxin's hand, Shang Si said in a low tone: "But Sister Ah Li is much thinner than before going down the mountain." ”

Not wanting to see the sad expression on Shang Si's face, Ruoxin turned around and asked, "How did Xiao Si'er come here?" After a pause, he asked again, "What about Master?" ”

Shang Si raised his head and replied, "Si'er is not with Master, after Master notified Si'er's family to go up the mountain to take me away a year ago, I have not heard from Master again. Before going down the mountain, I found a map and a portrait in Master's study, and the location of the map circle was near here, and the portrait ......" Shang Si bowed his head, took out a carefully folded portrait from his bosom and handed it to Ruoxin.

Ruoxin opened it and saw that the painting on it was a girl about seventeen years old, with her back against the elm tree, as if she was resting, and the painting was just a few simple strokes, but she could see the identity of the girl at a glance.

Ruoxin's heart shook slightly.

It was her, she was seventeen.

This painting was painted by Master?

Shang Si said softly again: "I think that since the master put the portrait of Sister Ah Li and the map together, then Sister Ah Li is probably around here. ”

Gently exhaling a breath to calm a trace of turmoil in her heart, Ruoxin folded the portrait, took Shang Si's hand, and said, "If you run out like this, will the family be worried?" ”

Shang Si lowered his head, looking very lonely. "Si'er doesn't like to stay at home, my father and mother helped me talk about a family matter, and let Si'er go to Beijing for a scientific examination after the autumn, but I don't want to get married, and I don't want to go to the scientific examination, before leaving home, I left a letter for my father."

Ruoxin Ruoxin touched his thin back with pity, and said: "Since you don't want to participate in the imperial examination, if you don't go, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do." If you don't like the daughter-in-law that your father and mother helped you find, then let them push it, and in the future, which girl you fall in love with, you will propose it yourself. ”

The corners of his curved lips rose slightly, his clear black eyes were moist and clear, Shang Si reached out to hug Ruoxin's thin waist, and said softly as if he was a child: "Si'er likes Sister Ah Li the most." ”

Ruoxin hooked the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "After the New Year, you will be twenty-one, but you are still so childish." ”

Shang Si just smiled, leaning his cheek on Ruoxin's shoulder and rubbing it carefully.

Looking at their intimate movements, Guan Jingtian's eyes widened and widened, and his handsome face turned red somehow, so he looked away and scolded in a low voice: "...... No shame. ”

Ruoxin glanced sideways at Guan Dashao, who had a strange expression on his face, patted Shang Si's back, and said, "It's inconvenient to talk here, let's go back first." ”

Shang Si's eyes were dark and clear, "Are you going to Sister Ali's house?" ”

Ruoxin gently rubbed Shang Si's head and smiled, "Yes." ”

So when Guan Jingtian turned around and sneaked a look again, he saw that Ruoxin had already led the man who jumped out of nowhere and walked away without looking back, he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Hey, stinky woman, don't forget the birthday banquet of Young Master Ben next month......

......

Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to live in Baijia Village for a long time, but now that the priest has personally brought it in, others naturally dare not say much.

Since she was a child, there have been no secrets between her and this little junior brother, she treats him as her own, even after returning to Baijia Village and recognizing her family, the position of the little junior brother in her heart has not changed. So she didn't plan to hide the secrets of his Baijia Village and her true identity.

After bringing him home, Ru Xue also happened to enter the door and saw Ruoxin bring back a strange man, her eyes full of novelty.

"Sister, how did you bring back a little boy when you went into the city today?" Seeing Shang Si looking delicate and cute, Ru Xue was itching, and stepped forward to reach out to pinch his cheek.

Shang Si's face was shocked, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and squirmed to hide behind Ruoxin.

"I'm so shy." Ru Xue laughed, and stepped forward to make trouble with him again, but was stopped by Ruoxin.

"Don't mess with him, Shang Si is my sister's junior brother when she was studying art in the mountains."

Ru Xue suddenly realized, "He is the little fourth child that my sister often talks about?" But he looks so young. ”

Ru Xue's eyes stared at Shang Si with round eyes, "Sister, didn't you say that he was three years younger than you?" But he looked younger than I was. Seeing Shang Si hiding behind Ruoxin, with his head down, looking shy and shy, Ru Xue liked it very much, so she smiled and said, "Sister calls you Xiaosi'er, then I will call you like that." ”

Shang Si looked at Ruoxin, then shook his head and said, "Miss Ru Xue still call me Shang Si." ”

Xiao Si'er is only called by his sister Ah Li, and when he returned home, he never let people call him by this name again.

"That's so unkind." Ru Xue frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied, her eyes rolled, and she clapped her hands and smiled: "Then I'll call you Ah Shang." Don't call Ru Xue girl Ru Xue anymore, just call me Xue'er like everyone. ”

Shang Si just smiled shyly, but didn't answer, and pulled Ruoxin into the house together.

Although Shang Si seems to have a soft temper and is also a good bully, he also has a stubbornness, what he doesn't want to do, let others grind and harden it, but there is no way.

Ru Xue was stunned for a moment and stuck out her tongue at his back.

It's so boring.

Seeing Shang Si's dusty appearance, Ruoxin boiled water for him to wash, and cleaned up the vacant guest room by the way. Because he was also a little tired, Ruoxin didn't talk to him much, let him sleep first, and wait for the rest to talk about the next day.

Back in the room, Ruoxin had just taken off her coat, and Shang Si blushed and came over with a quilt pillow.

"Sister Ah Li, can Si'er be with you tonight?"

Looking at the faint cyan in his eyes, Ruoxin thought that when he first went up the mountain as a child, he didn't dare to sleep in the middle of the night because he recognized his life, so she hugged the futon and slept with him, and this sleep was three years.

"Changed places, and I can't sleep alone?" Slightly with a pampering tone chuckling, Ruoxin reached out to take the quilt in his hand, turned around and walked towards his bed.

In the mountains, the master taught her to practice literature and martial arts, and taught her the art of Qihuang, but he never bound her with any secular etiquette thoughts. Therefore, in her cognition, she only knows that if she likes someone, she must do her best to be good to him.

Therefore, it is not difficult for her to let her beloved little junior brother sleep with her.

The two futons were placed side by side, and now that the autumn night was cold, Ruoxin was worried that Shang Si would be cold, so she took out a thin mattress from the wooden cabinet and covered Shang Si's futon.

Shang Si stood behind her, looking at her busy figure for him, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Today's needle for Fenghua also consumed a lot of her physical strength, so not long after the two of them stayed, Ruoxin gradually fell asleep. Shang Si worked hard to find Ruoxin for days, but at the moment he was really lying with her, but he couldn't sleep. Shang Si turned to the side, a pair of clear eyes shining in the dark night, he gently lifted Ruoxin's futon and got in.

Slowly approaching Ruoxin's warm body, the tip of his nose lingered with the faint fragrance of her body, Shang Si's breathing was slightly chaotic, he slowly raised his hand, gently wrapped his arms around Ruoxin's waist, stared at her closely, and said in a very low voice: "Sister Ah Li, Xiao Si'er has been looking for you for a long time, six years ago, you suddenly went down the mountain to leave, Si'er has never had time to tell you the secret in Si'er's heart......"

In the darkness of the night, there was silence everywhere, only his soft and low words.

Ruoxin was still sleeping quietly, and her lips were gently pursed.

Shang Si held his breath and slowly, slowly approached Ruoxin's cheek.
