In the middle of the night, it rained again, and Hua Tao was woken up by the sound of raindrops knocking on the window, opened her eyes and looked out the window in a daze, and fell asleep again.

She got up late the next day, and didn't want Xia Sheng to wake up later than her, she glanced at the noble son who was so handsome even when he fell asleep, and couldn't bear to wake him up, so she didn't push him awake until she finished washing.

"The sun is out." Hua Tao said excitedly.

Xia Sheng raised his hand to block his eyes, squinted and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Hua Tao picked up her phone and looked at the screen, and said with a smile: "It's only eight o'clock, it's not very late." ”

Xia Sheng sat up, leaning his back against the head of the bed, holding his forehead with his hand.

Hua Tao turned her back to him to pack up her things and removed a small trinket from her backpack that she had used to decorate.

Yesterday the two girls were overjoyed when they saw this trinket, and Peach was going to give it to them.

"It's a pity that there's only one, it's not easy to score." Hua Tao said.

Xia Sheng fished out his backpack, removed the pendant on it, and handed it to Hua Tao.

"When I bought it, I had one person, and now you're going to give it away, and it's not interesting for me to keep this, so let's just send it out together, or in pairs."

Hua Tao smiled: "We'll buy another pair when we go back." ”

Xia Sheng bent down to put on his shoes, and when he heard this, he hooked the corners of his lips and smiled: "Okay." ”

When the two walked out of the room, the aunt was making breakfast in the kitchen, they were going to eat fried cassava, put ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, stir-fry over high heat, and sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions when they were about to come out of the pot, and bring it to the table, which was full of fragrance.

Xia Sheng hadn't eaten this, he just felt that the taste was unique, and he couldn't help but have a great appetite, but he still didn't know what he was eating until he was full.

"What did we eat just now, and why is it so delicious?" Xia Sheng couldn't help but ask.

The aunt said, "Cassava, if you like it, you can send a few to you." ”

Xia Shengqi asked: "Is cassava like this?" Kind of like vermicelli. ”

Hua Tao laughed: "It's like vermicelli when cut into vermicelli." If you like it, I'll make it for you later. ”

The aunt was happy, and immediately enthusiastically taught the secret of fried cassava in Hua Tao, Hua Tao listened attentively, and took out her mobile phone to record.

"What a good girl, virtuous and virtuous." The aunt originally wanted to praise a few more words, but she couldn't think of more words for a while, so she turned to Xia Sheng and said, "Such a good girl, you have to cherish it." ”

Xia Sheng smiled: "Yes, I'm still waiting for her to make me fried cassava." ”

Hua Tao heard it and glared at him.

After breakfast, the two chatted with the aunt and uncle for a while before saying goodbye.

Hua Tao gave the two trinkets to the girl, and they took them happily, overjoyed.

When they left, they changed back into their clothes. Xia Sheng took out his wallet and wanted to pay for room and board to his aunt, but his aunt was unwilling to accept it.

The view of Qingtang is very pleasant, and they plan to visit it again.

Towards noon, they came to a pond where a man dressed as a Taoist priest sat under a willow tree with a crooked neck reading a book.

The robe is gray, similar to the style seen in the TV series, except that it is not paired with white loose trousers underneath, but wears a pair of beach pants that are over-the-knee, revealing the calves full of foot hair.

Nondescript.

"The two of you, meeting is fate, I'll help you calculate a hexagram." The Taoist priest suddenly said in a loud voice.

Xia Sheng glanced at him, a little curious whether the two mustaches on his lips were real or fake.

Hua Tao also turned her head to look at him, and asked with a smile: "Dao Chief, how much does it cost to count a hexagram?" ”

The Taoist priest said seriously: "It is said that meeting is fate, since it is fate, it is natural to follow fate, how can I accept your money?" ”

Hua Tao felt that this Taoist priest was a little interesting, so she said, "Then you can help us calculate the marriage." ”

The Taoist priest looked at their hands with ten fingers, this is not sure if it shows love and harmony, what is it.

So he only said: "I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals." ”

Then he stood up, patted the dirt on the hem of his clothes, and walked away.

"Huh? That's it? Hua Tao was speechless.

No wonder it is said that you don't charge money according to fate, just such a sentence, you really can't exchange money.

Hua Tao looked at the back of the Taoist priest leaving, and felt that this person was really weird, maybe he was a guy with a bad brain, but after thinking about it, maybe he really met a master.

The temper of the master has always been eccentric.

"Only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals." Hua Tao lowered her head and read it, savoring the meaning, only to feel that her heart was full of joy.

Xia Sheng didn't have much joy on his face, and his long and dense eyelashes drooped, covering the emotions under his eyes.

The two found a small restaurant for lunch, Xia Sheng didn't eat much, and he was a little absent-minded.

Hua Tao asked, "What do you think, your soul has flown away." ”

Xia Sheng smiled and said, "Think about what the Taoist priest said." ”

"Only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals?" Hua Tao picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, not knowing what she thought, and her face was a little hot.

Xia Sheng felt that the Taoist priest's words made him feel very uncomfortable.

The sycamore treats each other old, and the mandarin duck will die.

If it is long and old, of course, it is envious of others.

But no one knows what awaits him in front of him.

First, it's better not to want to see each other, so that you don't fall in love.

Second, it's better not to know each other, so that you don't love each other.

He didn't understand before, it's better to love than not to love, why would he rather not see, know, or love?

Now I kind of get it.

But I'd rather not understand it in this life.

……

Hua Tao took a lot of photos in Qingtang, and as the car was speeding down the road, she took out her mobile phone and looked at those photos over and over again.

"Don't play with your phone in the car, it hurts your eyes." Xia Sheng turned his head to look at her and reminded.

Hua Tao obediently put away the phone.

Xia Sheng asked, "Are your feet still painful?" ”

Hua Tao leaned back on the back of the chair and said lazily: "I only think about it now and ask, will it be too late." ”

Xia Sheng nodded clearly: "It's good if it doesn't hurt, that bruising wine really works." ”

Hua Tao got up in the morning and was able to jump and run like no one else, and Xia Sheng couldn't blame Xia Sheng for forgetting about her twisting her feet.

Hua Tao subconsciously turned her ankle, it's a lie that it's completely fine, it's still a little uncomfortable, but it's okay to walk normally.

"I just can't wear high heels for the time being." She stared down at her feet.

Xia Sheng looked ahead and said lightly: "Then don't wear it yet." ”

Hua Tao pursed her lips and glanced at him, muttering in a low voice: "But the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming." ”

The two families made an appointment during the Mid-Autumn Festival, of course, it can't be just for a meal, and their marriage should also be on the agenda.

Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile and said: "It's not that I haven't seen my parents, just dress up normally, and you don't need to dress up to attend." ”

Hua Tao immediately retorted: "I didn't say I wanted to dress up to attend." ”

Xia Sheng smiled: "How can you wear high heels if you don't dress up?" ”

Hua Tao was choked and speechless, then reached into his thigh and pinched it.

Xia Sheng: "......" is the most poisonous woman's heart.

When I got home, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and Hua Tao said with a smile: "It's just tea time." ”

Xia Sheng couldn't remember whether he had cat food in the cat's food plate before going out, and he asked Hua Tao: "Is the cat food with orange juice enough to eat for a day?" ”

Hua Tao said: "Enough, you have poured a lot, and the amount is more than a day." ”

"Oh, yes." Xia Sheng pretended to think about it, but in fact he didn't think of anything.

Is it the cat food he poured?

He was not at all impressed.

went upstairs, threw things casually, and Xia Sheng fell into the sofa tiredly.

Hua Tao also sat down, and the little bird leaned next to his arm and leaned her head into his arms.

"Tired? Why don't you go take a shower and get some sleep? Hua Tao said.

Xia Sheng said "um", but did not move.

Hua Tao said, "Why don't you take a bath?" I'll help you release the water. ”

Xia Sheng still said "um", lazily not wanting to move.

Hua Tao stood up and went to the bathroom to put bath water for Xia Sheng.

Xia Sheng picked up his backpack and walked into the bedroom, took out the bottle of vitamin C from it, locked it in the drawer of the desk, and then took a bottle of vitamin C from the medicine box and put it in the backpack.

This sequence of coherent movements is done with ease, as if it has been rehearsed many times.

He couldn't let Hua Tao know that what he swallowed last night was not actually a real vitamin pill, but a sleeping pill.

Since Hua Tao was found to be sobbing in his dream that night, Xia Sheng began to take sleeping pills.

He was afraid of becoming dependent, so he only took half a tablet at first, but the effect was not very strong, and he would still wake up.

So he found out that Hua Tao deliberately drank water before going to bed.

He felt very touched and heartbroken.

Hua Tao has a deep affection for him, he should be very happy, but he is faced with a life-and-death choice, and he may no longer be able to fulfill the vow he has kept.

The deeper the love, the deeper the wound, he couldn't imagine how desperate and sad she would be when he couldn't be by her side one day.

They had three chapters of the law.

First, don't do dangerous things.

Second, if you really want to do something dangerous, think about me.

There is no doubt that the first two articles have been adhered to consistently, but the third one has been changed and changed again and again.

Hua Tao said, the third one, one day, if you don't love, I will lock you up, I can't get your heart, but I have to get your people.

Hua Tao also said, if you die, I won't survive.

Xia Sheng tugged at the clothes in his heart, in pain.

He loved her, and he didn't want her to die with him.

If one day, he is gone, he still hopes that she will live well.

Even if in the near future, there will be another person who loves her, understands her, pities her and protects her.

He is not jealous.

He just wanted her to be good.

It's been good.

……

When Xia Sheng went to take a bath, Hua Tao slowly and methodically packed up the luggage he had thrown aside.

Take out the contents of the backpack one by one and put them away, and throw all the dirty clothes into the washing machine to wash.

After packing his backpack, it was Xia Sheng's turn to carry out his backpack.

Pretty much the same thing, keys, phone, charger...... Bottle.

Hua Tao gently held the medicine bottle, I don't know for what reason, glanced at the bathroom with the door closed, quickly poured a few pills out of it, wrapped it in a napkin, and put it in her own handbag.
