monologue
I didn't speak, I just stood still. The banner hanging high in the restaurant on the street was immediately lit, and his face could be seen more clearly through the light. I haven't seen him for a few years, Meng Jie is still handsome, and he looks stronger and stronger, as evidenced by the pain I just hit on the head and now.
He lowered his eyes and asked me softly, "You just look at me and don't speak, do you really plan not to say hello to me?"
I bowed my head and squeezed out a sentence stiffly: "Meng Shizi, long time no see."
This greeting made his smile fade, and he took a step back, separated himself from me and said, "It's too much to call a friend like this, right, Princess Jing."
With a cold tone and an indifferent look, I knew that he was deliberately choking me, and I didn't know what to do for a while. Come to think of it, it's no wonder he's angry, I just called him like that, and it does seem a bit out of the blue.
Meng Jie was silent and didn't speak, becoming more and more displeased, frowning frequently, I wanted to break this weird atmosphere quickly, so I joked, took the initiative to make peace, and said with a smile: "I was so surprised to see you all of a sudden, and I haven't come back to my senses yet, so I will call you so unfamiliarly." Meng Jie, Meng Xuge, is it okay to call you by your name? ”
Meng Jie still had a straight face.
I asked again, "When did you return to Jiankang, why haven't you heard anyone mention it?"
"I just arrived the day before yesterday, and I was running for a long time, thinking that I would go out to meet everyone after a whole period of rest, no, I met you when I went out."
"How have you been in Danzhou all these years, you have been there for a long time, you haven't come back for so long, I don't know, I thought you were the son-in-law of the Danzhou tribal leader, and you plan to live there for a long time."
He was amused by my words, and finally softened his previous cold face, and said with a ruffian: "I am such a peerless person, how can the daughter of a tribal leader be worthy."
I pouted: "Look at what you can, don't let people look down on you."
Meng Jie shrugged his shoulders indifferently, opened the folding fan in a chic manner, and smiled lightly: "Alone, happy and comfortable."
After a short greeting, I suddenly remembered what was going on, and exclaimed, "By the way, I'm looking for Yun Xiaowu, have you seen her?"
"I see it, but you don't have to look for it."
"Huh?"
Meng Jie put one hand behind his back, showing that his whole person was gentle and elegant, and he said, "She just followed Ah Xue away."
I was surprised: "When?"
"Just when you're concentrating on the shadow puppetry."
We had walked together for some time, and he took me to the carriage to say goodbye, but when I was about to get into the carriage, he turned back and hurriedly said, "We met tonight, not by chance, but specially waited here."
I was stunned and said slowly: "We are friends, you came back from outing, it should be me who came to visit." If you had sent someone to tell me earlier, I would have been prepared to pay a visit. ”
He was lonely and said softly, "You know that what I said is not what I meant."
Then there was a long silence, and I watched him squirm the corners of his mouth, and he stopped talking, afraid that he would say something more that he should not say, but I did not know how to interrupt him.
He paused, and finally couldn't help but speak: "I really want to see you, I really want to see you." But I don't want to go to King Jing's Mansion, I just want to see you alone. ”
I coldly interrupted him: "So you're waiting for me here for a day?"
I deliberately kept my distance from him, and stepped back to a certain position where I could just be at eye level with him, and then solemnly spoke: "Meng Jie, I don't think you should say these words, I am married, and I am a wife of another person, such unruly words, please don't mention them again in the future." We are friends and acquaintances, but we can't joke nonsense. If your words fall into the ears of those who have a heart and spread out in a big way, I don't know if your reputation will be ruined, but my reputation will indeed be damaged. I hope of you, self-respect. ”
My heart was crossed, and I gritted my teeth and said the last two words. "In Danzhou for the past three years, I haven't come back, not because I don't want to, but because I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'll come back, and I still can't change anything. Back then, I was one step slower, and I took a step slower to ask His Majesty for marriage. One step late, a lifetime late. ”
"Even if you went to propose marriage back then, I wouldn't want to marry you. Meng Jie, the person in my heart is not you, never you. I like Changji, I liked him the first time I saw him, don't you know that. I didn't know what you were thinking about me at first, but then I gradually noticed it, so I deliberately avoided you, deliberately kept a distance from you, you are so smart, I thought you knew. ”
Although it hurts, it is good for both of us to make things clear.
He smiled, his eyes flashed, and he laughed at himself: "It seems that I am too self-righteous, I thought that you didn't know what I had for you, so you fell in love with others, and regretted it, thinking that if I had told it earlier, maybe it would have ......."
I know what he didn't say the rest, but I can't afford his love.
"Meng Jie, I don't want to understand what you think about me, and I don't want to get it, but I really don't have the slightest affection for you, and I hope for ...... I hope you will let go of that little affection for me and look at others. There are many good women in the world, and you will definitely find a good person. ”

In the evening, Changji shut himself in the study when he returned from outside, and left oral training, and closed the door today, and no one came. I dispersed the maid, and went into the study with a plate of snacks, he held a book of soldiers in his hand, his face was a little wrong, his brows were tightly locked, and he sighed lightly, I don't know why he was so sad, maybe he was annoyed by those cumbersome political affairs. He rarely mentions to me the affairs of the DPRK and China, and I am not rare to listen to it, but seeing him so tired, I am afraid that there are a lot of tricky things recently, and I don't even know when I enter the door, I lifted a piece of cinnamon green peach to the tip of his nose, he turned his head to look at me, I quickly laughed, looking at me so kindly smiling, he didn't want to have a cold face anymore, so he hooked his lips and smiled back at me.
"Try it, this is a green peach sent by my mother, fragrant and glutinous."
As I spoke, I stuffed the green peach in my hand into his mouth, regardless of whether he could cover it or not. Changji couldn't cry or laugh, his cheeks were bulging by green peaches, like a hamster, which really made people want to pinch it.
When he swallowed the last bite of his snack, he made room to teach me a lesson, and he pulled me over, then sat on his lap with me around his waist, and with a bend of his long fingers, another loud brain crumbled on my head.
I covered my forehead, glared at him and said hatefully, "If I become stupid one day, I must be fooled by you."
He chuckled, pinched my nose hard and pulled it from side to side, and even begged and said, "It's obviously a natural stupidity, but you still want to slander people?"
I don't think so.
He didn't speak after a while: "I met Meng Jie on the way back."
He was silent and squeezed out a "Hmm." "Words to me.
I held his face and pretended to be angry: "You just give me a hmm?" You don't even ask what we said? ”
"Yes."
"Then you ask."
"You say."
I sighed silently, folded my arms around my chest, and stared at him in amazement: "What's wrong with you, you can't say one more word to me."
He scratched my nose and said, "Didn't I say two words?"
"Forget it, it's no fun to fight any longer."
I got up from his lap with a breath of breath, and when he saw that I was leaving, he immediately got up and stopped me, and said condescendingly, "It's so late, where are you going?"
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Bathing and going to bed."
He smiled with relief, took my hand, and said with a shy face: "Wash together, and say it's okay to wash it."
Me: "......"
Three days later, I officially waited for the hairpin festival, but unfortunately the sky is not very good today, the fog is vast, I can't see the sun, and there should be no moon at night. The hairpin festival that has lost the moonlight always feels that something will be missing.
The night is still lively, the bustling street is full of tourists, I hold a rabbit lamp in my right hand, my left hand is held tightly by Changji, and I shuttle through the crowd pleasantly, although there are many people on the street, but most of them are young men with masks and girls holding peach blossom branches, and I rarely see old and weak women and children. At a glance, I saw a pair of young men and girls guessing lantern riddles standing under the tall lantern stand, the girl was wearing a flower mask on her face, which must have been given by the young man, and the young man turned his back to us, and he also dangled a peach blossom in his hand. I couldn't see their facial expressions, but I could see that the two of them were red at the root of their ears, and they looked so shy when their fingers touched unintentionally.
I looked down at the lantern in my hand, and then looked up at Changji, and he grinned at me, and I hooked my lips, full of sweetness. Suddenly remembered the hairpin festival of the year, the fireworks were dazzling, I got lost, turned around, and met Changji, I was really overjoyed, I think at that time, he should have deliberately come to find me, although he didn't say, I also knew. Later, he gave me his mask. And now, I have also got my wish, and the man who gave me a mask at the Hairpin Festival has really become a person close to me.
Thinking of this, my heart was very happy, but I didn't know how to express it, I only knew how to stare at him with a smirk.
I don't know what I'm thinking now.
"You've been smiling for a long time, isn't your mouth sour?"
I laughed and said, "Laughing is effortless, and your mouth is not sour."
He held his forehead: "But, you smile like a fool."
I wasn't annoyed, I hugged his arm tightly, and said shamelessly: "The fool is also the fool of your family, you can't dislike it."
He was dumbfounded, and was finally amused by me. He didn't say anything, but I could see that he was preoccupied all night, and although he was laughing before, he was somewhat perfunctory, and now he is really happy.
He shook my hand tightly, but he deliberately said: "It's a loss, it's a loss, it's a loss, how can a beautiful boy like me, who is a jade tree in the wind, suave and intelligent, cheap you stupid idiot, it's really a loss."
"Stupid is a little stupid, but it really can't be done to your heart, you can't find anywhere, you can like someone like me, so you have to learn to be content."
He smiled helplessly, sighed for no reason, and suddenly bent down to meet my eyes, clear and bright eyes, long and thick eyelashes, very beautiful. I looked down at his slightly powdered mouth, which was bent into a crescent moon, and I panicked, afraid that he would kiss me on the street, how shameful it was.
