Chapter Twenty-Three: Early Summer
Summer.
Lotus blooms.
A dragonfly landed on the tip of the first small lotus.
A girl walked along the lotus pond, some people said that she was a casual person, and she asked him, casual generation does not mean frivolous. He didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Lan Zijin looked at Dongfang Luoqi's eyes and said word by word: "I have no future, I want to do what I am willing to do with the people I like in the time that I can control, with my feelings." Even if such a time is fleeting and fruitless, I want to ignore everything else and simply have it. Is this frivolous? ”
Dongfang Luoqi was silent for a while and told her, yes.
Lan Zijin blinked, his eyelashes flickered, and there were water droplets embedded in them, and asked, "What about you?" Are you frivolous? ”
"Men and women are not the same."
"Because you are a man, you can live happily in your world and have fun with all kinds of women, so you don't blame yourself, but you blame me, who has only one man?"
Dongfang Luo Qi doesn't know how to answer, this world is indeed like this, men are inferior to women, men can have three wives and four concubines in their lives, but women must pay attention to three from the four virtues, from one to the end. Maybe he didn't have the right to teach Lan Zijin a lesson, he just didn't expect Lan Zijin to reconcile with Brother Wang so easily. Although she was hunted down by her own husband, her future is bleak. And she met another, someone who still couldn't give her a future, but who possessed everything she had.
Lan Zijin's eyes were confused, and he walked into Dongfang Luoqi, and asked lightly: "If I don't stop being this frivolous woman in the future, what does the prince think?" Leave the Eastern Country, leave the Eastern Luoyu? ”
Lan Zijin didn't look at him, turned her back, a tear slid across her fair cheeks, she was a little emotional, she didn't want Dongfang Luoqi to say this, she felt that Dongfang Luoqi was not qualified to accuse her.
calmed down a little, wiped away the tears that were about to fall out of the other eye, and said: "What Nangong Yu has done to me, you know, he has traveled thousands of miles to marry me, but he just wants me to be a proton for the princess of Beiming." He said he liked me very much, and I guess he wanted me to be able to preserve my innocence for him while I was single in the East. You men care so much about your reputation, but I don't! He can send people to kill me several times for the sake of Nangong's reputation, why should I stick to this ethereal chastity? A person's life is like a white horse passing by, time is like flowing water, and there is no turning back in a hurry. I hope that there are more than painful memories left in my flowering years, nothing more. I'm Lan Zijin, and now I like Dongfang Luoyu! ”
Dongfang Luo Qi was silent, he knew that this woman had nowhere to go. Dongfang Luoyu gave this short-term peace of mind, maybe it was a good thing for her.
So he didn't say more, took out his flute, played a melodious song, and played a song of death.
Lan Zijin walked into the distance, listened to the sound of the flute, and walked to the lotus pond, where the breeze stirred the hem of her skirt and ruffled her long hair.
She didn't want to think about anything else, she emptied herself, her toes landed on a lotus leaf, and she slowly stood up, and the lotus leaf held up her body like this. Dongfang Luo Qi saw it, and the already melodious flute sound gradually became slower.
Lan Zijin stepped on the lotus leaves and walked to the center of the lotus pond, standing on a lotus leaf in the center. With open hands and closed eyes, I enjoyed the fragrance of lotus brought by the evening breeze. The lotus leaf and lotus flower murmured, and she listened attentively.
"This girl, can you let us bloom?" A small voice reached her ears, and she silently said in her heart, "Can I?" I haven't tried it in a long time. ”
"Believe in yourself, you can."
Lan Zijin clasped his hands together, slowly took off into the air, and the slender jade hand pinched the flower fingers, absorbing the spiritual power around him, and when the spiritual power was almost collected, he waved his fingers and gently sprinkled them in the lotus pond, little by little, piece by piece. The lotus flowers in the pond are competing to bloom, leaving no stone unturned, desperately trying to show them in their most beautiful form.
The whole lotus pond seems to be shrouded in a thin layer of light, as if it is a dream scene.
Dongfang Luoqi's flute stopped abruptly, and he was full of surprise at everything in front of him. What kind of person is this woman, who has such divine powers.
Lan Zijin danced in the air, and the flowers seemed to be grateful for everything she had done, twisting their bodies slightly.
The evening breeze is blowing, and everything is so gentle and beautiful. The women in the sky danced with a group of flowers, and the evening sky was dim, and the scene was like a dream.
Dongfang Luo Qi watched all this with wide eyes, and after a while, a flash of inspiration flashed, thinking to himself what would happen if he interrupted her at this time? So he shouted at Lan Zijin: "Ah! Zijin! Be careful not to fall into the water! ”
A shout broke everything, Lan Zijin was cruelly dragged back to reality, and his spiritual power splashed out of control, and he fell into the water with a thud.
Dongfang Luoqi laughed heartily, and said while laughing: "Haha, Zijin, you actually ...... Haha, you actually fell in, hahaha. ”
Seeing that Lan Zijin had not surfaced, Dongfang Luoqi smiled and said nervously: "Zijin? Zijin, are you alright? Yes? Don't scare me, don't you know how to swim? ”
After that, he hurriedly jumped into the water, swam to the middle of the lotus pond, shouted Lan Zijin's name while swimming, and just swam to the place where Lan Zijin fell into the water, he was violently dragged into the water by Lan Zijin, Lan Zijin pressed his head hard and surfaced by himself, took a deep breath, and scolded in his mouth: "Bastard, dare to laugh at me if I fall into the water, see if you dare in the future!" ”
Dongfang Luo Qi struggled in the water for a while, raised his hands out of the water to signal surrender, and Lan Zijin let go of him.
Dongfang Luo Qi poked his head out and took a hard breath, and said, "I'm kidding you, you really want to kill me, oops, suffocate me, I don't know how to dive." ”
Lan Zijin kicked him and swam towards the lake, and as she swam, she could still hear the laughter of the flowers, as if she was laughing at the two of them. Dongfang Luo Qi also swam over with a hippie smile.
On the shore, the two twisted their soaked clothes, and Dongfang Luoqi asked, "Zijin, what kind of person are you who can make the lotus bloom in advance." Lan Zijin said slowly: "I just heard the heart of the lotus flowers and helped them." As for my identity, I'm still me, the daughter of Beiming, the titular princess of Nangong, the proton of Dongfang Country, and your friend of Dongfang Luoqi. The rest, you don't need to know. ”
Dongfang Luoqi nodded, chuckled and looked at the night sky, the night was coming, the sky was getting late, the starry sky was bits and pieces, and said thoughtfully: "Well, you are you, Lan Zijin." ”
In the face of her past, he can always point to the end, don't ask, as she said, since you are a friend, do what a friend should do.
