Chapter VI
"That...... You really can't remember anything? You Baiyi asked tentatively.
Xia Yuan shook his head.
"Okay, you have a good rest first, you just need to remember now, your name is Xia Yuan, and now you are my You Baiyi's apprentice, and other things will be talked about later." After speaking, You Baiyi went out and returned to his house.
When Xia Yuan was about to lie down and continue sleeping, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and I saw a girl who looked familiar for some reason walked in with some food.
"Xia Gongzi, let's eat a little bit." Wen Lan put the food on the small table next to him, "I put the porridge here, and Childe can reach out and get it, so Ah Lan won't disturb Childe's rest first." ”
"Girl, have I seen you somewhere?" Xia Yuan shouted Wen Muan.
"Ah Yan grew up in this microcosm since he was a child, and he has never seen a child." Wen Mu bowed slightly to Xia Yuan.
Even if the other party said so, Xia Yuan still felt that Wen Mu was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her, just thinking like this, Xia Yuan's head began to hurt, he tried to hit his head with his hand to stop thinking about it, but the more he didn't want to think about it, the more his head hurt. Wen Mu sensed that something was wrong with Xia Yuan, and wanted to reach out to help him, but Xia Yuan slapped him away: "Leave me alone." ”
Wen Mu withdrew his hand, which was a little red by Xia Yuan.
"That'...... I went out first, and Childe was resting, so I lived in the room next door to Childe, and I was called if something happened. After speaking, Wen Mu gently helped Xia Yuan close the door.
Fine sweat oozed from Xia Yuan's forehead, and his head ached. He lay on the bed and tossed and turned, but he couldn't relieve half a minute. I don't know how long it took, but I slowly fell asleep.
In the dream, Xia Yuan saw the distant back of Miss Wen Mu, who he had only seen today, but he didn't seem to be Miss Wen Mu, and he wanted to reach out and grab her, but he couldn't touch her. There was a name in my head that was about to come out, and I wanted to call her, but I couldn't make a sound. Xia Yuan kept running forward, he wanted to go around to the front to see the woman's face clearly, but even if Xia Yuan kept running, he could only watch the back go farther and farther away, gradually disappearing from his sight.
Wen Muan, who heard the movement next door, walked to Xia Yuan's room and knocked lightly on the door.
"Xia Gongzi?"
"Mandarin ...... Mandarin duck! Don't leave! Don't leave me, mandarin ducks! Wen Muan's knocking hand paused in the air for a moment, and he couldn't control his emotions. Mandarin duck, how long has it been since I heard this name, this name that Wen Mu loves and hates.
Wen Mo thought about it, but decided to push the door directly in.
"Young Master Xia? Xia Gongzi? ”
Xia Yuan in the dream suddenly heard a nice voice shouting his name, for some reason, it was like the tinkling of a mountain stream, and at that moment, the beating heart seemed to be soothed.
Xia Yuan frowned, woke up slowly, and the moment he opened his eyes, he met Wen Mu's clean and clear eyes, and his heartbeat seemed to be a little out of rhythm.
"Wen ...... Miss Wen, what's wrong? Xia Yuan staggered his gaze and spoke with some embarrassment.
"Just now I was listening to the movement outside the door, I wondered if Xia Gongzi had a nightmare, so I broke in without permission, but Xia Gongzi wants to blame Ah Lan for making a claim?" Wen Yan's face was slightly red, and he realized at the moment he woke up Xia Yuan that he had trespassed into a man's house without permission from a girl's family.
"Why, I still have to thank the girl for saving me from the nightmare." Xia Yuan chuckled, how could this girl be a little cute.
"By the way, Mr. Xia, Ah Lan has a question I don't know if I can ......" Wen Mu was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to ask or not.
"Huh? What's the problem? ”
"The mandarin duck girl who shouted in his sleep is the son's good looks?"
"Mandarin duck girl? I don't seem to have a girl called Mandarin Duck in my memory, and besides, the only people I know now are you, Miss Wen, and Master. "Mandarin ducks? This name made Xia Yuan feel a little familiar, but he didn't have any impression, so he had to give up, and he was afraid that he would have a headache if he thought about it again.
"Since the son is fine, then Ah Lan will retreat first."
"Miss Wen, let's rest early."
Wen Mu bowed slightly, closed the door for Xia Yuan, and turned to leave. Just walked a few steps, she leaned against the wall, and brushed her chest with palpitations, fortunately, fortunately, Xia Gongzi didn't know Mandarin Duck.
After a few moments, Wen Mu readjusted and returned to his room.
Wen Muan, who was lying on the bed, was a little sober, and she stared blankly at the roof.
Mandarin duck......
How long has it been since I last saw a mandarin duck, probably a few years, right?
That should be the first and only time I saw a mandarin duck since I was sent to Taiwei at the age of six.
Every year, General Wen and Mrs. Wen will always choose the days after the Chinese New Year, come to the temple to stay for a few days and chat with Wen Lan about the anecdotes under the mountain, and will also bring Wen Lan some food that can only be bought in the imperial city, those days are also the happiest days of the year for Wen Lan, at that time, she felt that she was loved by her father and mother.
That year, there was some snow in the sky, and Luan Qinghe broke into Wen Muan's house with a big grin, shouting at Wen Mu: "Ah Lan! General Wen and Mrs. Wen are here! ”
"They come every year, don't you and don't know?"
"No...... No! This time it's different! They brought a girl who looks like you! But it's not quite like that. Luan Qinghe ran a little panting, "She doesn't look like our Ah Mo is gentle and virtuous!" ”
"Senior brother, don't make fun of me, I'll go to the door and wait for my father and mother first." After speaking, Wen Mu put down the scripture in his hand.
When Wen Lan happened to walk to the gate of Taiwei, he happened to see General Wen and Mrs. Wen coming up from the stone steps on the mountainside.
"Daddy! Mother! Wen Mu waved his right hand, very happy.
When the general and his wife walked in, Wen Mu saw clearly that this sister, who was only an hour older than herself, had really changed a lot from the last time they met, if it weren't for her appearance, I was afraid that she would really not recognize this as her sister. The two sisters, Mandarin Duck and Wen Muan, although they look similar, can still be different. Mandarin ducks are slightly taller than Wen Muan, perhaps because they grew up in the palace since childhood, Mandarin ducks always have a very elegant temperament, their facial features are more three-dimensional than Wen Muan, and Wen Mu's eyebrows and eyes are full of tenderness. If the mandarin duck is the amazing beauty of everyone's girlfriends, then Wen Mu has a kind of warmth of a small jasper.
So after many years, from the first sight of the mandarin duck, Wen Mu's eyes have been attracted by the mandarin duck, which is what Wen Mu wants to become the most. From then on, a thought occasionally popped into Wen Mu's mind, if it was not the mandarin duck that was sent to the palace but himself, would he be able to become his favorite now......
Wen Mu, who didn't know when she fell asleep, shed a tear from the corner of her eye and hid it in the futon.
In the dark night, the mandarin duck couldn't fall asleep from time to time, holding the prince's jade pendant tightly in his hand. Obuchi, where have you been?
Thinking back to every day Xia Yuan was by his side, he remembered the person who always had a gentle smile on his face and was always good to himself.
The mandarin duck closed his eyes and let the tears wet his face.
