Chapter 7: Self-defeating is really helpless

In March, spring is strong.

In 727 A.D., the scenery in Luoyang City is still the same, but behind this charming beauty, it seems that it is difficult to find the joy of the past.

Since Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Liu Ruotian and Mei Yuchen have never met again, and Liu Ruotian can probably guess a few points for the reason. Liu Ruotian and Mei Yuchen are both over fifteen years old this year, according to Liu Ruotian's guess, it may be because Mei Yuchen's parents have told her about the marriage, so Mei Yuchen has not seen him for a long time. Because Xiao Qingzhu told Liu Ruotian about this happy event on Chinese New Year's Eve, although he had known about it for a long time. Therefore, Liu Ruotian thought that the reason why Mei Yuchen had not been seen for two months was because she was embarrassed or did not agree at all, in contrast, Liu Ruotian preferred to believe the latter. But is this really the case?

Shortly after Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Mei Yuchen's mother, Zhao Xiaolu, told her about it when she was combing her hair herself. Mei Yuchen's parents were worried that Mei Yuchen would not agree to this family affair, but how did the two of them know that in fact, in Mei Yuchen's heart, they had already fallen in love with Liu Ruotian deeply.

After years of companionship, how could she not fall in love with Liu Ruotian? Don't say that the two families have already made an appointment beforehand, even if there is no appointment, Mei Yuchen will try to get the Mei family to send someone to propose marriage.

Mei Yuchen was very happy here, thinking that his beloved brother Ruotian was about to become his husband, he couldn't help but be a little shy when he was happy. Mei Yuchen has been meditating hard for days, in what way should he meet Liu Ruotian for the first time?

The more embarrassed Mei Yuchen was to see him, the more afraid Liu Ruotian was to see her. Because of this incident, Liu Ruotian didn't dare to go out for two whole months.

As soon as March arrived, Liu Ruotian couldn't help it when he saw that the wind was beautiful and the clouds were light and the wind was light, so he decided to call Li Yuqi to go out for a walk after breakfast. Because Liu Mei's two families are very close, Liu Ruotian is afraid of meeting Mei Yuchen after going out, so before that, he has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he specially put a stick of incense on the Bodhisattva, hoping that the Bodhisattva will bless him not to meet Mei Yuchen.

"Compassionate, Guanyin Bodhisattva, you must bless me to go home safely, and don't let me meet her! If you really help me complete this trip smoothly, when I come back, I will definitely double the incense and kowtow to you, please! ”

Li Yuqi next to him saw Liu Ruotian's appearance, and secretly laughed in his heart: "Brother Xian has never been afraid of anything in his life, but now he is scared like this, I really don't know what he thinks." ”

When everything was ready, they decided to leave immediately. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two walked out of the Buddhist hall, Liu Ruotian heard the voice of his parents greeting Mei Yuchen, so Liu Ruotian hurriedly turned around and leaned against the door to peep. Yes, that person is Mei Yuchen, who is asking Liu Ruotian's parents about his residence.

Liu Ruotian wanted to escape, but it was too late, seeing that Mei Yuchen was about to come over, Liu Ruotian hurriedly instructed Li Yuqi: "Big brother, it's all up to you this time, you will say that I am not there when she arrives here, if she asks you where I have gone, you will say that I don't know!" After speaking, Liu Ruotian immediately closed the door and hid in the Buddhist hall.

Liu Ruotian thought that Li Yuqi would block himself for a while, but he never expected that wow, the first thing Li Yuqi said after seeing Mei Yuchen was that Ruotian was in the house.

At this time, Liu Ruotian was like an ant on a hot pot, and he didn't know what to do. He wanted to find a place to hide, but the space inside the hall was too cramped, and there was no place to hide. In desperation, Liu Ruotian had no choice but to use all his strength to climb onto the beam, and at this time, Mei Yuchen just pushed the door in.

Mei Yuchen was very surprised to see that Liu Ruotian was not in the house, and Li Yuqi was also very surprised when he entered the house and searched carefully, but he was nowhere to be found.

Li Yuqi found that in addition to the door, there was only a small window in the house leading to the outside. But this small window has not been opened or there are traces of someone climbing, can Liu Ruotian put on his wings and fly? The two were about to leave, but at this moment, an unexpected scene happened.

Liu Ruotian on the beam of the house held his breath and didn't even dare to breathe, and there was basically no place to rely on the beam, and he was already tired and sweating profusely from exhaustion. Seeing that the two were about to leave, Liu Ruotian thought to himself, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Maybe it was because Liu Ruotian saw that the two were leaving, so he relaxed his vigilance. As a result, he stepped on the air without paying attention, leaned forward, and then fell off the beam.

It just so happened that at this time, Mei Yuchen heard a voice above her head, so she subconsciously looked up. As a result, as soon as Mei Yuchen raised her head, she was knocked down impartially by Liu Ruotian, who fell from the sky.

It doesn't matter what happened after this pounce, what matters is what happened after the pounce, which is enough to make Mei Yuchen unforgettable for the rest of his life.

Because this happened so suddenly and the whole process was extremely fast, Liu Ruotian had no chance to stop it. As a result, under the combined effect of many factors, Liu Ruotian and Mei Yuchen's lips came to a zero-distance contact.

This sudden accident caught the two off guard, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. The air around them was deathly silent, except for the sound of each other's rapid heartbeats.

At this moment, the two of them have two diametrically opposite moods in their hearts. Mei Yuchen was already intoxicated at this time, but instead of immediately pushing Liu Ruotian away, he closed his eyes very much in enjoyment. At this time, Liu Ruotian's eyes widened and his brows were tightly locked, he wanted to get up quickly, but at such a critical juncture, his always flexible body became very stiff for some reason.

Probably because he had been on the beam of the house for too long just now, and he had just fallen so suddenly, so his body was in this condition.

Seeing this, Li Yuqi, who was standing on the side, immediately covered his eyes with his hands and pretended not to see anything. Liu Ruotian tried his best to finally get up, and then staggered out of the door without saying a word, and it seemed that he had indeed fallen hard.

After Mei Yuchen got up, he immediately chased out with Li Yuqi, Liu Ruotian was nowhere to be seen at this time, and the two had to go out to look for it. Liu Ruotian's parents saw that something was wrong, so they also followed.

Not far from the General's Palace, there is an artificial lake that crosses Jinchengfang, and there is a stone arch bridge connecting the east and west streets on the lake.

As the so-called panic did not choose the road, Liu Ruotian only looked at whether anyone was chasing after him, so he didn't pay too much attention to the situation in front of him, and when he passed the bridge, he collided with the oncoming Mei Jiaxing.

At this time, Mei Jiaxing had just returned from shopping in the West Market, carrying all kinds of snacks and toys in his hand, and happened to pass by on the bridge. Unexpectedly, he was knocked over by the oncoming Liu Ruotian, and the things in his hand immediately fell to the ground. The Mei family was about to scold after he got up, but he saw that the person on the ground who was apologizing and helping him clean up his things was a little familiar, so he wanted to squat down and ask.

"Are you...... Brother-in-law! Mei Jiaxing said in surprise.

"Brother-in-law? What brother-in-law? Liu Ruotian, who was lowering his head to clean up his things, was very sensitive to this word at this moment, he suddenly looked up and found that it was actually Mei Jiaxing.

This Mei Jiaxing is really getting worse and worse, not to mention his academic performance, and he likes to eat, drink and have fun. One of the most troublesome things is that he likes to get to the bottom of things, and if something gets into his ears, he will never give up without asking why. If someone else doesn't tell him exactly what Mei Jiaxing found out about, he will not think about tea and dinner and even stay awake all night, Liu Ruotian and Mei Yuchen's fingertips for marriage is what he got from his parents.

Liu Ruotian knew that he was born to like to ask questions, so he didn't want to talk to him more, Liu Ruotian was about to leave, but was pulled by Mei Jiaxing.

It turned out that Liu Ruotian had some red color on the corner of his mouth because of the accidental kissing with Mei Yuchen just now, but he didn't expect this scene to be seen by Mei Jiaxing, it seems that Liu Ruotian can't go at all this time.

Sure enough, Mei Jiaxing took this opportunity to make a big fuss, and he had to ask what was going on. Liu Ruotian saw that Mei Yuchen and the others were about to chase after him, but Mei Jiaxing still grabbed himself and didn't let go, and shouted as a brother-in-law on the left and a brother-in-law on the right.

"Brother-in-law, where did the red color on the corner of your mouth come from? Could it be ......" Mei Jiaxing asked Liu Ruotian with ill intentions.

"Oh, how many times have I told you, I don't know, I don't know, you're not annoyed! Get out of the way! ”

At this time, Liu Ruotian was anxious and angry, but there was really nothing he could do about him. Mei Jiaxing saw that Liu Ruotian didn't react much, and he was even more aggressive, always asking where the red color on his lips came from. Although Liu Ruotian tried his best to say that he didn't know, Mei Jiaxing still didn't give up.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Mei Jiaxing became even more unscrupulous. It wasn't until Mei Yuchen and the others arrived that Mei Jiaxing found that the color at the corner of Mei Yuchen's mouth had faded and the lip prints were a little blurred, and Mei Jiaxing understood everything in an instant.

Because he climbed the beam of the house before, then fell off it, and then tore with Mei Jiaxing on the bridge for a long time, Liu Ruotian was already exhausted at this time, so he decided not to run.

Liu Ruotian saw Mei Yuchen chasing after him, so he ran off the bridge and came to the lake, wanting to pretend to be suicidal in order to blackmail Mei Yuchen to break the marriage contract, anyway, this is a matter of time, it is better to get married as soon as possible.

But when Liu Ruotian stood by the lake and looked back at Mei Yuchen, who was chasing closely, he suddenly didn't want to jump again. I didn't dare to take a closer look before, but at this moment, standing under the willow tree and smiling at my own Mei Yuchen is so charming!

I saw Mei Yuchen with a golden hairpin and long hair shawl, and there was an attractive atmosphere between the eyebrows, and his face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. The melon seed face shape, willow leaf curved eyebrows, double pupils cut water, high nose bridge, and small cherry mouth are simply typical of ancient beauties. She wears a light blue placket with a straight collar and half arms, embroidered with silver-white dark flowers, and a pure white shirt underneath. She wears a blue waist-length skirt with buttons tied at the chest. Such a beautiful flower, coupled with the catkins that fall from time to time on the willow trees by the lake, is simply impeccable.

Mei Yuchen's outfit today is really just right, and it coincides with Liu Ruotian's preferences. The color of the clothes she was wearing at this time happened to be one of Liu Ruotian's favorite colors. And all of this is thanks to Mei Yuchen's careful observation over the years, which has achieved today's effect.

Liu Ruotian looked at Mei Yuchen, who was close at hand, and thought: "I really didn't expect her to know me so well, and she even knows exactly what color I like." This kind of outfit really coincides with the outfit of my ideal partner, and it is really just right. If conditions permit, it is also a great joy in life to be able to marry such a confidante, but it is just ......"

In fact, Mei Yuchen's most lethal weapon is not here, her ecstatic and cute voice is enough to make Liu Ruotian fascinated. In particular, the most representative sentence "Brother Ruotian" is invincible in the world, so much so that Liu Ruotian couldn't even stand on his feet after hearing this sentence.

"Brother Ruotian, why are you suffering? I didn't even say anything, so why should you care? Mei Yuchen thought that Liu Ruotian was embarrassed because of what happened just now, so he couldn't think about it, but he didn't know that he actually meant something else.

"Don't come here! Don't call me that, I can't stand it! At this time, Liu Ruotian's foot had already stepped on the edge of the lake, and he was about to fall.

"Yuchen, don't force me anymore, okay? I really have a hard time, I have a lot of unspeakable secrets! It's too complicated to be able to explain it in a few words. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely live up to your kindness, but now, I really can't do anything! ”

Liu Ruotian wanted to further inform Mei Yuchen of his true situation, wanting her to completely die, but he didn't expect Mei Yuchen's next words to leave Liu Ruotian speechless.

"Brother Ruotian, I also feel a little abrupt about the matter of finger marriage, I know that I am not worthy of you. I don't expect you and me to grow old together, as long as you can let me be by your side, even if it's only for one day, I'm willing. If you find someone you like in the future, you can leave me at any time, isn't that okay? ”

"I ......" Liu Ruotian was forced to be anxious, and seeing that he couldn't get off the stage, he planned to fake it. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mei Yuchen also stood by the lake to jump with him.

Unexpectedly, a dramatic scene appeared again. Seeing this, Liu Ruotian decided to give up suicide and turned around and went home, and Mei Yuchen was relieved. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mei Yuchen's feet slipped and he was about to fall into the water. Liu Ruotian turned around when he heard the sound, jumped up, grabbed Mei Yuchen's right hand tightly, and then pulled it back hard, hugging Mei Yuchen tightly into his arms.

At this moment, Liu Ruotian realized that he had done something wrong again, but Mei Jiaxing next to him was still coaxing, shouting for a kiss, and everyone echoed after hearing it.

Seeing this, Liu Xinyu felt that this was an extremely embarrassing thing, so he left with Xiao Qingzhu first, and soon after, Liu Ruotian and others also went home.

On the way home, Liu Ruotian treated Li Yuqi well, and he thought that if it weren't for Li Yuqi selling himself at the beginning, a series of problems would not have arisen after that. In order to make Li Yuqi confess, Liu Ruotian made another wrong decision, he wanted Li Yuqi to show his intentions in front of Mei Yuchen. Li Yuqi knew that he had done something wrong before, so he readily agreed.

Without further ado, strike while the iron is hot, and after Liu Ruotian returned home, he immediately ordered Li Yuqi to Mei Yuchen's house to explain clearly. And after Li Yuqi left, Liu Ruotian immediately regretted it, he knew that his righteous brother had always been "helpful", and he would definitely not do what he said. Sure enough, after Li Yuqi came to Mei Yuchen's house, he conveyed the diametrically opposite statement to her, and Li Yuqi praised Liu Ruotian in front of Mei Yuchen for nearly an hour before leaving.

I wanted to be smart, but I didn't want to be self-defeating, and it seems that things will be more difficult in the future.
