I don't know if Ling Gongzi still remembers the events of that night.

But after that night, I felt a lot closer to him than I was.

I'm also enjoying spending more and more time with him.

After a long time, we no longer refer to each other as "son" and "girl", but call each other names.

In fact, what we can do together is very ordinary, nothing more than I watch him dance the sword, he listens to me stroke the qin, and he will ask me to teach him the piano music when he is on a whim.

Although his piano skills are not superb, he is skillful in fingering, and he is obviously a child.

If he had kept practicing, I am afraid that he would have to point me in turn now.

He looked up at me after plucking the last string of notes, and I looked into his eyes and teased:

"Niankong, has anyone ever said that your eyes are beautiful?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Really pretty?"

I cupped my cheeks and nodded earnestly.

"How pretty?"

"Hmm," I thought...... Your eyes are the second most beautiful I've ever seen! ”

I thought he would be happy, but I didn't want him to frown.

"Second pretty? So who is the first? ”

"The first, of course, is my brother!" I don't think about it.

In this world, I have never seen more beautiful eyes than Ah Ran's peach blossom eyes.

Hearing this, he smiled helplessly.

"Okay...... However, your brother has moved to another courtyard since he lived in the General's Mansion to recuperate, and he has never had the pleasure of meeting him. How do I know if you're cheating on me?

Or do you actually want to boast about your beautiful eyes?

But do your eyebrows and eyes resemble those of Yunshen Gongzi? ”

I guessed that he would think I was talking about Leng Yunshen, so he didn't answer him, but said with a little mockery:

"Ling Niankong, when did you talk so much?

It turns out that your polite and humble appearance at the beginning is all a disguise!

Say it! Has any of the little girls ever fallen for you? ”

"Isn't it clear who has been on it?"

The corners of his lips were full of a mocking smile.

"How dare you laugh at me!? You get me out! You will not be allowed to enter my yard in the future!" Get out! ”

I pulled him up and pushed him out. He suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Look, there should be a thunderstorm at night, do you want me to come and accompany you?"

"Who wants you to accompany you!"

With that, I pushed him out of the courtyard.

Even though I said this, I knew in my heart that he would still come in the evening.

On weekdays, he would sneak up to me occasionally at night, just because he couldn't sleep and talk to me.

One time there was a thunderstorm, the wind blew open the window, blew out the candles, and it was thundering outside, and I was very scared, so he knew that I was afraid of rainy nights.

Actually, I'm not afraid of rainy nights, but of the dark.

This is a problem that fell when the family and country changed seven years ago.

I guess it was probably because I had been in the black box for too long, and since then I have had an irrepressible fear of the dark and small space, so that I always have a light and candle at night before I dare to sleep......

Leng Yihan hasn't interfered too much with the two of me these days, and I don't want to put my mind on the person I hate anyway, so I get along quite well.

A few days ago, I was a little bored, so I took the initiative to embroider a handkerchief for the first time.

It's easy to say, but I embroidered a swallow in the corner of Jinpa.

I was enthusiastic, and even the silk thread I chose was very unusual, but the final result was not very satisfactory.

Okay, I'll be honest, in fact, the reason why I embroidered this veil is because Ling Niankong, that guy doesn't know how to see that I'm not a good girl, and he always teases me at every turn.

I was so angry that I secretly fought with myself, so I embroidered this veil.

But I can't even pass the level myself, so I can't show it to him.

But who knew that I secretly threw away the silk handkerchief with my front foot, and he came to me with a handkerchief with his back foot, and asked if I embroidered and teased me for a while, and finally put it into his arms, saying that it was a souvenir, and then my embroidery improved a good contrast.

I was so angry with him that I couldn't speak, he's such a bad guy in the middle and through!

******

Sure enough, the wind blew the windows in the evening, and the candles had been blown out three times.

I had the courage to close the window again in the dark, but I still couldn't stop feeling dazed, so I was a little scrambling to find the fire.

But the more I panicked, the more I couldn't find it, and gradually I felt as if the darkness around me was alive, and little by little it surrounded me, trying to swallow me.

"Where are you? Hurry up and come out! I'm afraid of the dark! ”

I tried to divert my attention, but my legs still trembled.

The window behind me was suddenly blown open by the wind again, and I couldn't help but tremble.

I just turned around and wanted to close the window, but there was a person standing in front of me!

"Ahh

The scream was only halfway through when the man covered his mouth.

"Shhh

It took me a while to recover from my fright.

"You're scared me to death!"

The tension subsided, tears flowed uncontrollably, and I hit him.

"You know I'm afraid of the dark, and you still scare me like this!?"

"How...... Why are you crying? ”

Visibly overwhelmed, he stroked my back all at once.

"Don't cry, I didn't mean to scare you.

Isn't it a window when I come to you every night? Who knew you would be scared like this this time?

Don't cry, huh? ”

This was the first time he had coaxed me like this.

Although I was really scared by him just now, now I feel warm in my heart when I hear him comfort me like this.

He turned back and closed the window, then found the fire breaker and lit the lamp again.

Seeing his face in the candlelight, my heart finally settled.

I sat back on the bed, and he crouched on the edge of the bed.

"Why are you so daring? The person who is about to reach the end is afraid of the dark. ”

He touched the tears that remained on my face.

"What's going on with you? I'm a girl, isn't it normal to be afraid of the dark?

Isn't there anything in this world that you are afraid of?

Besides, I still have half a year to go! ”

Because I had just cried, my nasal voice was very strong, and even if I heard these words myself, I was very aggrieved.

He seemed to sigh lightly, but then smiled: "Who said that there is nothing in this world that I am afraid of? ”

"Oh? Tell me, what are you afraid of? ”

I'm interested.

What would someone as powerful as him be afraid of?

His palms covered the top of my hair.

"A lot, like ......"

He leaned closer, his eyes bright.

I don't know if it was reflected by the candle or something else, but his eyes were scorching.

"For example, I'm afraid you'll cry."

As he spoke, everything around him seemed to peel off layer by layer, and then quietly fall, as if he and I were the only ones left in the world. He also seems to have lost his mind as I did.

When I came back to my senses, I heard Fluttershy open the door for Leng Yihan at the door.

I didn't panic in the slightest, I just wanted to ask the person in front of me a question.

I looked at him and asked lightly:

"Niankong, do you like me?"

Hearing this, his pupils tightened suddenly, and he looked at me in a daze.

I smiled playfully.

"It's okay if you don't like it, you don't suffer anyway."

As I spoke, I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him down on top of me the moment the two men stepped into the room.

He was unsuspected, and I carried him and threw him on the couch.

What I didn't expect was that his mouth landed on mine impartially!

It was as if something in my head exploded in an instant, boom, and I lost my mind.

When I came back to my senses, Niankong was already kneeling straight in front of Leng Yihan.

Leng Yihan is grim-faced, and Fluttershy is even more silent.

Only then did I realize what I had just done, and plunged headlong into the covers.

Sky! I just ...... I just took the initiative to ...... him

Or in front of Leng Yihan and Fluttershy!

And he kissed me by accident!

I...... I'm so ashamed!

I can't forgive myself for that.

How can I be so impulsive?

What kind of evil did I fall for?!

I'm just worried that Leng Yihan will embarrass him when he finds out that Niankong is in my room, but how could I use such a stupid way!?

It's okay now, Leng Yihan saw that I took the initiative against him, and he was fine. But what about me?

I'm really ...... It's really shameless!

A few people in front of the bed seemed to be out of the house, but I didn't care.

I just kept hiding under the covers, forcing myself not to remember what had just happened, but it came back to my mind over and over again.

Oh, my God! What am I going to do!

How am I going to meet people in the future!?

******

"I knew you were crying."

After some time, a familiar voice appeared next to the bed.

I subconsciously wanted to get out of the quilt to see, but I wanted to go to what had just happened, so I buried my head deeper.

"What are you doing back? You go, I don't want to see you...... I don't want to see anyone! ”

I cried under the covers.

He sighed helplessly and amusefully, and despite my objections, he freed my head from the covers.

Because I kept my head covered, my hair was unkempt, but I was in no mood to pay attention to it.

Seeing his gentle eyes, I was even more annoyed.

"Niankong, I'm so embarrassed!"

When he saw that I was crying a lot, he hesitated and hugged me.

I thought I would subconsciously struggle, but I didn't, but I was a little greedy for the temperature and smell of his body.

He stroked the hair at the back of my head and whispered comfortingly:

"It's okay, I'm not going to laugh at you, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

"It's embarrassing......

I murmured aggrievedly.

"Even if it's a shame, what's so scary about me being with you?"

"Really? Will you stay with me? ”

"Of course. So stop crying, okay? ”

"Hmm."

When my mood calmed down, a lingering question appeared in my mind:

Why did I go back like that?

The more I thought about the answer, the more empty faces appeared in my mind......

I seem to ...... I seem to know why......

His face couldn't help but flush a little, but he still said to him:

"Were you scared too?"

He let go of me and looked at me.

I looked him in the eye and continued:

"We're like that because ...... It's because I'm ...... I ...... in my heart."

The more convinced I was of that reason, the more I wanted to tell him.

But the more I tried to tell him, the more panicked my heart became, and I didn't know how to express it.

"Because I ...... you I ......"

"Shh

His index finger suddenly pressed against my lips.

"I should say this kind of thing first......"

He withdrew his finger, looked at me without blinking his eyes, and said, "I like you." ”

I breathed for a moment, my heart felt like honey melting, and the indescribable sweetness came from my heart with warmth all over my body.
