Knowing that Xiao Man asked him to go to the bamboo forest behind, Zhou Duchan's mood had a kind of joy to lift the dark clouds and see the bright moon, in fact, since he came here, he has been very nervous in his heart, and he was afraid that Xiao Man would not see him and would not give himself a chance to explain.

He knows Xiaoman's temper, the more you force her, the more she refuses to see you, so when he came here, he learned that Xiaoman was sleeping, so he waited here with peace of mind, whether it was Lu Dayong scolding himself, or listening to the other two feelings for his own rejection, he didn't care.

From the road to the bamboo forest on the pavilion road, Zhou Duchan repeatedly urged the housekeeper, "Hurry up, hurry up...... ”

In just a few steps, a cup of tea, Zhou Duchan felt that it had never been long, and his heart was even more anxious, and he couldn't wait to see Xiaoman immediately.

The autumn wind rises, the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest are squirming, falling from the sky, sprinkled with water, a pale yellow figure in the bamboo forest, the girl's side face is very beautiful, quiet and beautiful, and the long eyelashes cast a dark shadow under the eyelids.

The housekeeper walked away very familiarly, and Zhou Duchan looked at the elf-like girl, and felt like she would fly away and disappear at any time.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Duchan dared to approach gently, for fear of disturbing the girl, stepping on thick bamboo leaves, as if stepping on cotton.

Every time he looks at Xiaoman Zhou Duchan, he feels warm, his heart is warm, he has always felt that Xiaoman is like the sun, which can warm everyone in this world.

Zhou Duan's heart rose, and he originally wanted to take a look at the person who walked behind Xiaoman and gently gave her a hug.

Xiao Man saw the housekeeper coming over with Zhou Duchan from afar, with his back to them, just because Xiao Man felt more comfortable like this.

Although the person is facing away, his ears are almost erected, and Xiao Man can hear the subtle sound behind him.

Zhou Duchan had already walked behind him, and Xiao Man decided to speak first, "You're here......." ”

The voice was plain, and the person who spoke was very calm, which made the gap with Zhou Duchan's illusion a little big, originally thought that Xiao Man would look forward to it, waiting for his arrival, or seeing that he would fall into his arms, but it was not Xiao Man with his back to him, and the first sentence he said turned out to be like this, which made Zhou Du Chan very disappointed.

Raised his hand and gently put it on Xiao Man's shoulder, but he didn't expect Xiao Man to dodge it like an electric shock, and looked back at his eyes with alienation.

"Xiaoman, I ......." Zhou Duman's thoughts were all disrupted when he came, and suddenly his mind was blank, Xiaoman's reaction made him afraid, in front of him, Xiaoman Xiaoman has always been full of aura, the kind of ghost horse elf, and the liveliness of the little girl who showed himself together, but now Xiaoman is too calm and cold, Zhou Duchan is very wet and uneasy, and even a little worried and afraid, Xiaoman's character he knows very well, calm, rational, thoughtful and principled, once he makes up his mind, no one can change it, It can be seen from the way she deals with those people in business, but when Xiao Man faced herself before, she used the other side of herself, and now Xiao Man's attitude towards herself is the same as that of those strangers in business.

"If you have nothing to say, then listen to me, I saw the notice in Pingjiang Town, frankly I didn't believe it at the time, because you told me before you left Pingjiang Town that no matter what happens, you have to believe you, but the holy decree is actually child's play, I rushed back all the way just to find an explanation for me, but now I don't need your explanation anymore, I just want to tell now, I Gu Xiaoman will not be a concubine for others in this life, let alone share a husband with others, Don't tell me that it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines....... ”

Zhou Duchan listened to Xiao Man's words and felt that Xiao Man would tell herself that she didn't want herself in the next second, so she blurted out in a hurry, "Xiao Man...... I....... ”

Xiao Man raised his hand and stopped him, "You listen to me first......." ”

Xiao Man felt that his tears were about to flow out, turned around and closed his eyes, desperately suppressing the urge to cry, but he still didn't hold back, even if he closed his eyes, tears still slid down his face.

Feeling that Zhou Duchan behind him wanted to get closer, "No, you don't want to ...... Don't come over ....... ”

The voice whimpered, and as soon as I heard it, I knew she was crying, "Xiao Man......." Zhou Duchan still wanted to get closer, who knew that Xiaoman's reaction was stronger, "Don't you come over...... I'm not like you see me crying. Xiao Man felt that he would be suffocated if he said one more word now, and he couldn't speak at all.

"Okay, I won't go over, Xiaoman, don't cry ......, I'll be sad if you do this, you listen to my explanation."

Xiao Man felt so sad that he couldn't breathe, he couldn't spit out a word at all, he just stretched out his hand and signaled Zhou Duchan not to approach, Zhou Duchan knew Xiao Man's character, if he stepped forward, Xiao Man didn't know what he would do, and he would even turn around and leave, so it would be even more difficult for him to have the opportunity to see Xiao Man again in the future.

Crying silently, tears kept flowing, never knew that there were so many tears, Xiaoman simply squatted down and let the tears flood.

Crying enough, calm down, Xiaoman felt that his breathing was finally much easier, so he got up and turned around, her red eyes were very eye-catching, she had no way to look at Zhou Duchan's eyes, she was afraid that she would be reluctant and soft-hearted.

Zhou Duchan looked at Xiao Man's eyes that were already crying and swollen, and felt distressed, and took out the handkerchief he was carrying, "Xiao Man, use this to wipe it." ”

Xiaoman raised his hand and refused, "No, don't bother Zhou Gongzi...... I'm sorry, please don't be weird to Zhou Gongzi. ”

Listening to Xiao Man's mouthful of Zhou Gongzi, the same as those strangers called him, Zhou Duchan felt very uncomfortable, "Xiao Man, did we have to be like this before?" Why can't it be the same as before. “

"It's the same as before, what we were like before, I've forgotten, no, I'm wrong, there was never us, you are you, I am me."

"Xiaoman, did you mean to break my heart like this?"

lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "How can I hurt Zhou Gongzi's heart." ”

"We've come this far, do we have to do this? Don't you remember everything we had before? ”

"Zhou Gongzi, before I was Xiaoman, I couldn't see my identity clearly, and I was always delusional, when I met a person with a white head, I chose a city to die old, now it seems that I am really an idiot talking in a dream, and now I wake up from a dream."

Zhou Duchan shook his head and looked at Xiao Man, "Xiao Man...... It's not what you think, you trust me, I'll take care of it, I'll be responsible for you. ”

"Zhou Gongzi, there is no parental testimony or matchmaker between us, you don't need to be responsible for me, whoever you want to marry is your freedom, I have no right to interfere with ......, and I am a country girl, where is worthy of a noble son like you, I think only the most beautiful princess of Chuyun can be worthy of you, here Xiaoman congratulates Zhou Gongzi, a wife who can marry as soon as possible, oh, by the way, on the day of the wedding of Zhou Gongzi and the princess, Xiaoman may not be able to be present to congratulate, Here, I wish Zhou Gongzi a happy marriage. ”

"Xiaoman, you really think like this, do you really want me to marry the princess of the Chuyun Kingdom?"

"Where did Zhou Gongzi start with this, how could it have anything to do with me, it's good if Gongzi likes it."

"Xiaoman, you know that I only like you......."

"Zhou Gongzi, don't talk nonsense, I really can't afford it."

Zhou Ducha listened to Xiao Man's words, and always felt panicked in his heart, plus no one had ever let him sneer at him like this, and a fire burst out in his heart, "Xiao Man, I left a bunch of things at home and the court, and I came here just to meet you, can't you say a good word to me?" ”

Xiao Man sneered, "I want to hear good words, you want me to say something good to you, I want me to comfort you by saying that Zhou Gongzi is fine, I have no opinion or objection to marrying that princess, I don't care about serving a husband with that princess, I don't care about being big or small, I still want to cry and shout and beg you, please don't marry that princess." ”

This was the first time the two quarreled, Zhou Duchan had no expectation, facing Xiao Man, he found that he couldn't say a word, and even felt that Xiao Man was a little powerless to make trouble.

"Xiaoman, you weren't like this before......."

"Before, you said it was before, and you still expect a woman who has been abandoned to be more pleasant."

"I didn't want to abandon you, I always had you in my heart, I didn't like that woman from beginning to end, you know I was forced, you don't know that the lives of the Zhou family are all held in the palm of your hand...... My father took it over for me, and I want your forgiveness, and I want you to understand my ....... ”

"I understand, of course I understand, so I let go I don't want to force you back, and I don't want you to be so miserable, you can rest assured that you are worried about the horse master, I still live my little life, earn my little money, and we will not owe each other in the future."

After saying this, Xiao Man walked out of the bamboo forest, Zhou Duchan looked at the back, looking very painful, but he didn't catch up, because not far away, there was a pair of eyes that had been staring at him and Xiao Man.

Zhou Duchan knew that there was a person in the dark, since he entered this bamboo forest, he found someone lurking not far away, but he didn't say it, and he wanted to know who sent it, so Zhou Duchan couldn't tell the truth to Xiao Man at all, so he could only pretend to be angry and let Xiao Man leave this bamboo forest quickly, so that he could deal with the one stretched out of the bamboo forest wholeheartedly.
