When Jiang Zhengxin arrived at Yue Yue's residence, it was already dark, so she let the carriage stop outside the alley and walked into the alley along a winding path. She had been here a few times to look for Yue, so she was no stranger to the path under her feet, but for some reason, this alley gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had been here once upon a time, but she couldn't remember anything.

The more I walked into the alley, the more I saw more strong bamboos standing over the high wall, and when I reached the door of the suddenly open house, she gently knocked on the door, and then a white-clothed disciple knocked on the door, and invited her to enter in an elegant and polite manner.

The residence of Yue Yue is like the immortal mansion in the bustling city, the huge mansion is full of lush bamboo, and the cold spring is led into the house, flowing around the bamboo. Walking into the house, the bamboo leaves are swaying, the flowing water is murmuring, like a natural bamboo sea, cool and elegant, full of green.

At this time, the bright moon is in the sky, the evening bamboo is blue, there is no light in the house, no one speaks, only the melodious sound of the piano hovers and lingers among the towering bamboos.

Walk up the steps along the bamboo path, such as practicing under the moonlight, a man in white sits alone in the depths of the secluded fence and strokes the qin, his face is peerless, out of the dust, the cold moonlight is sprinkled on Shengxue's white clothes, with a layer of pure light, he slowly opened his eyes, a pair of glazed purple pupils are dazzling, like a celestial man.

Jiang Zhengxin walked over and asked softly, "It's already dark, why don't you light the lights?" ”

Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was getting late, and he replied with a light smile: "I forgot." ”

Hearing this answer, Jiang Zhengxin's heart tightened inexplicably.

She thought that there were always many people around her, and as soon as it was dark, the lights were lit in order to see each other clearly and continue to talk and laugh together. So she knows that people who live in the hustle and bustle and warmth will always light the lamp, and even if she forgets, someone will help light it.

And Yue Yue's relatives have passed away, and he has always been the only one by his side, Mr. Yuwen. Most of the time, Yue Yue is lonely, no one has company, and he doesn't even have a reason to light the lamp, so he is used to sitting alone in the dark, and over time, he will forget to light a beam of light to illuminate the darkness around him......

Without saying anything more, Jiang Zhengxin squatted down and lit the circle of white wax on the bamboo platform one by one.

It doesn't matter if you forget, I'll light the lamp for you later.......

Thinking like this, I was a little obsessed with lighting up all the white wax on the bamboo platform to illuminate it more brightly.

Wei Yue wanted to come over to help her, but Jiang Zhengxin didn't let him, and said to him: "There is a meal I cooked in the food box, you can help me taste it." ”

"You did it?"

Wei Yue was a little surprised, remembering that night in the East Kitchen of Hanxian Palace, she still didn't know how to cook.

"Well, I just learned it, and it may not taste too good when I make it for the first time, so don't dislike it."

"How so?" Yu Yue said with a smile.

After the food box was opened, what came out one by one was ginsengqi fresh chicken soup, cloud leg jade shoot shreds, cherry honey yams, assorted crystal dumplings and mille-feuille peach blossom crisp.

The color and fragrance are complete, and the heart is full.

Looking at these dishes made by Jiang Zhengxin himself, Yue Yue's heart liked and moved, and the light in her beautiful purple eyes flickered, like a sea full of bright stars.

He stared silently for a long time, and suddenly said in a dumb voice: "Don't be so good to me." ”

When he said this, the light in his purple pupils suddenly went out.

Jiang Zhengxin was lighting candles, and she didn't see the change in Yueyue's expression, she subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

“…… I can't afford it yet. ”

The voice is soft and ethereal.

Jiang Zhengxin turned his head a little dazedly, and saw that the white figure enveloped in the warm candlelight was a little erect, cold and fragile.

It's like a lost child, and like an adult who can't find its way, which makes people feel pity.

She didn't know why a meal would put so much pressure on him, and he still said something that he hadn't returned.

In order to make Yue Yue accept it calmly, she found a reason: "This is to thank you for helping me heal my injuries, I paid you back, if you don't eat happily, I will feel that I owe you all the time." ”

Wei Yue suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Zhengxin, her eyes seemed to be full of candlelight, and it seemed that she was the only one. He knew that the other party said this to comfort himself, and his heart was hot and he lost his words.

Jiang Zhengxin smiled and handed him the silver chopstick: "Eat quickly, I'm still waiting for you to praise me." ”

didn't say anything more, Yu Yue took the silver chopstick, carefully tasted the delicacies in front of him, and every bite, he ate very seriously and cherished it. It's like when he was a child, he was hungry in the ice and snow for many days and hadn't eaten, and suddenly picked up half of the frozen hard cake, which made him feel so precious, and he was so excited about the hard-won food that he wanted to swallow it in one bite, but he cherished it in his hand and refused to take a bite.

He still vividly remembers the feeling he felt when he ate the cake – it was a sore throat. Because the cake has been frozen by ice and snow and is as hard as iron, it looks like a piece of ice cream when it enters the throat, and the throat hurts, like swallowing a knife blade, without any aroma of food, only the taste of blood. Although the delicacies at this time were completely different from the cold cake, and the mouth was soft and smooth, for some reason it made his throat more sore and astringent.

But even though he was very hungry and frozen miserably, he didn't feel sad, but this meal made him feel sad, and at the same time, it also brought back that vivid memory......

He is not a person who never forgets the past, but that experience is too unforgettable, he tries his best to forget, but he always reappears in the midnight dream, like a nightmare that can no longer get rid of, so that he often wakes up suddenly in a cold sweat.

If the experience of youth is just simple wandering, starvation, homelessness, it is nothing to him, he can easily get through it, and then forget the past lightly, start a new life, just like a bright life after the storm, everything can start again, and then become beautiful.

But what made everything miserable and hopeless, and what plunged him into a mire of misery, from which he could not break free, was this sinful body that could not be redeemed.

Gu Yanjiao and the imperial court bloodied the Cold String Palace because of him. In order to protect him, his father and mother were pierced through his chest one by one by a sharp blade and died in front of him. Later, he and his brother were brought back to the Guyan Sect, and his brother, who broke free, had a chance to escape, but was brutally killed in order to come back to save himself. The three closest relatives paved a way of life for him with blood and life, and the souls of thousands of people in the Cold String Palace were sacrificed on this road of life, so how could he live with peace of mind.

What has sustained him until now is nothing more than the belief in revenge. Therefore, even if he was scarred and had no medicine to treat when he escaped, the sky was covered by heavy snow, hunger and cold, there was nowhere to go after the pursuit, his heart was like ashes, and he was on the verge of death and there was no hope, he survived with his last breath. From then on, his life is no longer worthy of being cherished and loved, just like money, if it can be exchanged for the most powerful power, he can squander it at will. That's why he will practice the exercises regardless of his life, so that now his time is short, and life and death are on the line.

He can accept the kindness of others to him, cherish it more, and then repay it a thousand times, but he can't afford Jiang Zhengxin's feelings, because he can't afford to pay it back, he can't accept it, and he will say such things, and he will feel heartache like ......

……

……

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the alleys, and the topics revolve around one person, Miss Jiang.

"Hey, hey, did you hear that? Miss Jiang spent a lot of money to buy Longqi Lake, and since then it has been renamed Moonlight Lake. ”

"Whew, good guys! How much does that have to be? ”

"Don't think about it, it can scare you to death if you say it."

"Hey, hey, did you hear that? The moon shadow yarn in the capital is all out of stock, and I heard that it was all wrapped by Miss Jiang, and my wife has been crying with me for several days when she can't buy clothes to make. ”

"What's the fuss about this? None of the palaces can be supplied, let alone your family. ”

"Hey, hey, did you hear that...... Miss Jiang ......."

……

Even if the discussion outside is intense, the inside of Jiangfu is still calm as usual.

Jiang Zhengxin sat in the courtyard, soaking up the afternoon sun, focusing on what he was busy with.

Yunxi walked over with a small wooden pallet, half coquettish, half helpless: "Miss, this is good, the whole capital knows that you are going to make a big move." ”

Jiang Zhengxin smiled and didn't look up: "So what?" They don't know what I'm going to do. ”

Yunxi put the small tray on the stone table, and then snatched the bamboo strip from Jiang Zhengxin's hand: "But it's not me who is tired in the end?" With so many cuts in your hands, don't you have to give you medicine? Yun Xi took Jiang Zhengxin's hand, picked out the small bamboo thorns in the flesh one by one, and then applied the ointment to her, "Next time I look for Yun Meng for this kind of thing, I can't help but want to talk about you." ”

Jiang Zhengxin grinned and said, "I didn't let you give me medicine, and you can't help but feel sorry for me?" ”

Yunxi glanced at her and didn't want to pay attention to her, but it didn't take long for him to help but admonish: "You be careful these two days, the master heard that you are going to do a big ticket, and he has long wanted to come to clean you up, and we can't stop it." ”

Jiang Zhengxin blinked and asked, "I know, but I just don't understand why he is angry." ”

"Jealousy." Yunxi sighed, and then didn't forget to add, "I'm already crazy with jealousy!" ”
