Chapter 109: Compromise
The sun sets in the west, and the crescent moon hangs high.
The small river is gurgling, and on the edge of the river, the pavilion in the middle of the lake has been built.
Under the moonlight, Cheng Mo sat in the pavilion, blowing the breeze, quietly and not being disturbed, it was really comfortable.
The wind is also hot in the middle of summer nights, but if the wind blows like this for a long time, it will be dizzy, and if you are not careful, you will be infected with wind cold.
Ah Zhi learned that he was here from the mouth of the secret guard, and brought a cloak to look for him.
Ah Zhi gently put the cloak on his shoulder, came to his side, and spoke gently, "Go back and rest!" ”
Cheng Mo took her hand, and when he stood up, he consciously lowered his head, "What's wrong?" ”
"The dark guard said that you are here, thinking that although the wind is hot at night, it will blow for a long time and your head will be dizzy," Ah Zhi's little hand was extremely restless in his palm, disturbing his itch.
"Then let's go back," Cheng Mo said, but when he walked, his steps were very slow.
As I walked, I inadvertently saw the pavilion on the other side of the river, the faint candlelight swaying, and the two figures shining on it were like flowers and moons.
"It's Nanrong and Zhou Siyuan!" Ah Zhi shouted in surprise, his eyes full of curiosity, "How could they ......?"
"Their parents are old acquaintances, and their mothers are the same Zhuangzi, the bad mood has gradually dissipated in recent days, and now there is nothing to do.
Cheng Mo just smiled after speaking, and tightly wrapped Ah Zhi's hand.
Ah Zhi was stunned, smiled slightly, and was also surprised, "This ...... Pretty good. ”
Cheng Mo suddenly stopped and looked at Ah Zhi with a heavy face, "Their wedding dates are set." ”
Ah Zhi was so frightened that he took a step back, dumbfounded for a moment, "This speed is so fast!" ”
Cheng Mo's eyes were indifferent for a while, "The marriage arranged by my parents is fast, and there is nothing wrong with loving after marriage." ”
There is something in Cheng Mo's words, and Ah Zhi knows it.
The feelings that had been hidden in his heart for a long time were involved, and Ah Zhi only said "um" and stopped talking.
Which is better, long-distance running love or short-lived love?
Cheng Mo's gaze was far-reaching, and he saw that half of the high wall had been built, and his thoughts were like a spring, and he was endless.
Ah Zhi followed his gaze, there were some things that he didn't want to ask, but the energy in his heart was troublesome, and he had to ask questions again.
"To build a high wall is to defend against danger?" Ah Zhi asked knowingly.
"Yes," Cheng Mo replied weakly, "It's better to be careful." ”
"What's wrong with you?" Ambition that he had heard him talk about.
"I want to live," for Cheng Mo, scheming is ugly, not for cleanliness.
But in the eyes of insiders, this is a "degenerate" who only loves beauty and does not want the country.
Ah Zhi bowed slightly, holding his hand tighter, and a glimmer of luster flashed in his eyes.
"Go back," Cheng Mo took Ah Zhi's hand, and his steps sped up a lot.
————
In the pavilion, Nan Rongjin was silent, if it wasn't for the peace of mind of the elders, he would definitely not come out to meet Zhou Siyuan.
I am busy during the day, and I have free time at night.
The distance between the two was a foot.
There are two lanterns in between.
For Zhou Siyuan, his parents are healthy and safe, and they are happy.
But suddenly telling them about this unrealistic past really hurt his soul unexpectedly.
His heart is still Ah Zhi, but now she and her brother-in-law have met each other, and he can only stand aside and look at each other from afar.
I had to deal with my parents' insistence, and I had to come here to meet Nan Rongjin for two days in a row.
"Are you sure?" After a long time, Nan Rongjin finally asked, "The wedding is held as scheduled, you can go wherever you want, I don't ask." ”
Nan Rongjin learned from Yue Zhuo that his illness was all caused by his low mood, and his heart was damaged that he was hit by that man during the days of fleeing, and he was left with the root of the disease, and he would not be put to death at all.
"I ...... Think about it again, I'll give you an answer after I go to see someone," Zhou Siyuan had already gotten up and picked up the lantern, and said lightly to Nan Rongjin, who was still sitting still, "I'll send you back, otherwise your parents will be worried!" ”
Nam Rongjin didn't speak, got up by himself, took the lantern and went to his residence.
Nan Rongjin's steps did not stop, and he walked straight back with an expressionless face, without even turning his head.
Zhou Siyuan followed closely behind, secretly wondering why his parents said something at this critical juncture?
Why not speak up sooner?
In this way, there will be no one else in his heart.
Every time we meet now, it's embarrassing, and I can't wait to hurt the tip of my tongue when I say a word.
The choice to meet at night is to avoid the embarrassment of seeing the other person's dissatisfied face, and not to see the redness and tears in his or her eyes.
Zhou Si watched her walk into the wooden shed where she lived from afar, and only then was he relieved a little.
He also walked slowly back to his residence, where he now lived in a simple wooden hut.
Within a month, the next house will be built.
When I thought that the house would soon be built, and the high wall over there would be built soon, I felt inexplicably sad and uneasy, and I was sad and worried when I saw that the date set was getting closer and closer.
Zhou Siyuan stood in the hot wind of the night for an unknown amount of time, looked at the wooden shed where Ah Zhi lived, and stood still for a long time, did he really want to ask her wishes?
The footsteps had already taken a few steps before he woke up like a dream, Zhou Siyuan leaned on the tree on the side, rubbed his eyebrows, and kept persuading himself in his heart that he couldn't destroy the relationship between the two of them.
After Nan Rongjin entered the house, he saw that the elders had already rested, so he took the hot water on the stove and brewed a cup of tea.
The teacup was steaming, and it was held in the palm of his hand, and a bubble was burned in the palm of his hand, but he still couldn't notice it.
Nan Rongjin moved a circle chair and sat outside the door to admire the moon, and placed a small round table on the left hand side, just to put the tea cup.
The sound of footsteps stomping on dirt and gravel is getting closer and closer, and Nan Rongjin doesn't look at it, the smell is too familiar, I've only seen it once, and it has long been around the tip of my nose, lingering.
But the first time I saw him, I felt like I had seen him somewhere.
Zhou Siyuan walked over, and the hand holding the lantern in his hand oozed a little cold sweat.
For the sake of his parents, Zhou Siyuan forced his beloved to the bottom of his heart, and he only wanted a plain life like water, and gradually compromised.
With difficulty, he took out the jade pendant hidden in the cuff, which was given to him by his mother, saying that he would make a love token for the girl when he thought it through.
"This is for you," Zhou Siyuan did not hand it to her directly, but put it on a round stool.
Nan Rongjin didn't take a look at it, and smiled faintly, "It's all to avoid hearing the nagging of my parents, so I compromised and compromised!" ”
For a long time, Nan Rongjin slowly twisted up the jade pendant, put it straight into the lotus purse, and went back to the tea cup to drink tea.
"It's not appropriate to drink tea at night, you'll have insomnia," Zhou Siyuan persuaded with a little embarrassment.
Nan Rongjin raised her eyes and took a look, with a rare smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's good to get used to it." ”
"......" For a while, Zhou Siyuan was speechless.
For him, this marriage is about to end.
But when he knew the truth, he loved Nan Rongjin even more, of course, this is just a later story.
The present situation is to first answer the parents' requests.
