Chapter 7: Stabbed in the Heart

"It's a pity."

I wrapped the broken jade bracelet in half in a handkerchief and handed it to my little maid, Red Willow, and told her to take it to the jade shop to see if it could be repaired.

Hongliu shook his head and said that the broken jade was to protect the master from disasters, and it was unlucky to wear it after repairing it. It's better to wrap it in a red cloth and bury it in the ground.

I pinched half of the bracelet, raised my eyebrows and asked her, "You said that a man gives a woman a jade bracelet, what is the point?" ”

Hongliu said without thinking: "A token of love." ”

"I'm not old, but my mind is clear." I put down the bracelet, and Hongliu suddenly realized: "No wonder Madame is reluctant to change it, it turned out that it was given by the commander." ”

Hongliu went out to repair my jade bracelet.

When I had nothing to do, I was going to change two pots of cactus, and one of them had a circle of pink flower bones around the palm-sized thorn.

I stood in front of the windowsill and said to myself, "Our family is a beautiful little girl. ”

"Who are you talking to?"

I raised my eyes and looked at Guan Beili, who had just entered the door, "Pingping." ”

"Pingping?" He glanced at the pot, not surprised, but asked me what the name of the other pot of unblooming cacti was.

I told him, "An'an." ”

He took off his black leather gloves, strode up to me and crouched down on his knees, watering the pot with a watering can, loosening the soil with a small shovel, and carefully trimming the roots. The process is clear, like a perfect gardener, and when serious, it is like assembling a handy gun.

I put on my cheongsam and squatted down, looked at the green cactus ball and said, "I'm going to live in a big house in peace." ”

Guan Beili said: "Interesting. ”

I asked, "Is labor more interesting than war?" ”

He flicked the dirt between his fingers and looked up at me and smiled, "I said you're funny." ”

I cupped my cheek and said slowly, "Did you say a few words less?" ”

"What words?"

"Interesting stuff." I flickered my eyelashes in remind, his hand suddenly stopped, and his voice deepened, "You won't hear this adjective from my mouth in the future." ”

"It's been two years, and you've finally found out I'm not a thing." It wasn't until I finished saying that I realized that it wasn't a good word.

Guan Beili didn't think it was funny, and concocted another pot as he could.

He didn't understand why I, a woman, didn't like flowers and preferred thorny cactus, as if I was a child to baby.

I said, "These are my two children, the two children who were not born." ”

When he heard this, he suddenly got up and ordered the orderlies to throw out the two pots of flowers.

I didn't let it move, Guan Beili raised his foot and kicked the cactus ball that had just been replaced, and the whole basin flew out of the door, flying high and smashing the glass.

I was shocked and wanted to pick it up, Guan Beili grabbed my arm and stepped back, and asked with a blue face: "Is it to raise a cactus ball if you drop a child?" ”

I nodded truthfully: "Peace and security is my spiritual sustenance." The cactus ball is full of life, and it is like my lost child, and it can no longer be embraced. ”

Guan Beili pinched my face, and said in a cold voice: "Wen Meng! You're punishing me. You stabbed me in the heart with it. ”

I said I didn't know why he thought that, and he got even angrier and walked away.

I didn't see him come back until the evening.

Hongliu took back the repaired jade bracelet, and the emerald green bracelet body was painted with gold and buckled, which made it more delicate and beautiful.

I put on the bracelet and sighed, but Hongliu thought I was not satisfied and persuaded me to buy another one.

The maid was intimate but didn't know her heart, so I lay down and let her close the tent and go out.
