Chapter 23: The Steps Meet
As early as when Situ Nanyun rushed in, Lin Yuelan felt that the jade pendant on his body was trembling, which was a sign of the person's appearance, he was surprised, looked around, and sure enough, he saw a woman sitting on the steps, so he made an excuse to tell Situ Han to quit.
That woman was Du Ruo, she had heard the conversation between Lin Yuelan and Situ Han, and she was sitting on the steps alone in despair.
She had imagined that Lin Yuelan was going to marry Situ Nanzhu, and she felt a sense of loss, but now when she heard the fact that he was going to marry her, her heart suddenly became so lost and lonely. She thought that even if she came to this world, she would still be alone, still lonely, and the small, wishful thinking expectation of love in her heart had now come to naught; It turns out that the beautiful vision and expectation of this world have also changed because of Lin Yuelan's marriage.
When Du Ruo saw Lin Yuelan come out, he ignored him and was immersed in his thoughts alone.
Lin Yuelan stood a meter away from her, with a worried look on her face.
Du Ruo glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, puzzled, "This guy is going to get married, and he is going to marry that beautiful Situ Nanzhu, he should be happy, why do you look sad?" ”
Lin Yuelan stood for a while, then turned around and left.
Du Ruo didn't look back, and sighed in his heart, "I thought he saw me and came out, but it turned out that I was fantasizing again, I was just a wisp of the Yuan Soul that I couldn't see and couldn't touch, maybe it would dissipate one day, how could he see me?" Even if you can see it, you won't like a spirit, right? ”
The moonlight shone on the steps, Du Ruo couldn't see her shadow, she secretly laughed that she was not even a single shadow, what qualifications did a person who didn't even have a body and a shadow have to fantasize about love here?
She stood up and walked aimlessly in the moonlight, and I don't know how long she walked, but she came to a pavilion with a plaque that read "Qingxin Pavilion", and she muttered to herself: Qingxin Pavilion, Qingxin Pavilion, it seems that I have come to the right place.
The moonlight is as cool as water, and the mountain breeze blows slowly, which does have a refreshing and reassuring feeling. She leaned against the pillar and sat on the railing, letting the breeze blow her awake. She thought of her long and bumpy life, remembered that she had been a lonely soul for thousands of years, and that she had survived the loneliness for thousands of years, what was this frustration now? What is there to be sad about? Thinking like this, my heart feels a little better.
I don't know when, Lin Yuelan came over, he brought a pot of wine, sat opposite her and drank it alone.
Du Ruoxiao He and Lin Yuelan really had a fate, as soon as the front foot separated, the back foot met here.
The mountain breeze blew Lin Yuelan's sideburns, revealing a smooth and full forehead and a long black eyebrows, her face was like white jade, and her green satin-like hair poured out from under the jade crown and fell down to the white brocade robe on her chest, with an indescribable handsome demeanor.
Du Ruo watched Lin Yuelan drink the stuffy wine without saying a word, smelling the faint aroma of wine in the air, and suddenly wanted to drink happily and accompany him to "eliminate eternal sorrows", but unfortunately she couldn't drink it, she was just a wisp of soul.
She suppressed her urge to hug him several times, looked at the bright starry sky, and saw that the stars above were exceptionally transparent, but they exuded a coolness, and she counted the stars in her heart and scattered her thoughts, counting, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Du Ruo woke up and found that he was covered with a piece of clothing. The clothes were Lin Yuelan's, and there was a faint smell of bluegrass on them, she was surprised, and immediately stood up and subconsciously searched for Lin Yuelan's figure. She was a little disappointed when she didn't see Lin Yuelan, but when she saw the real clothes in her hand, a feeling of happiness suddenly rose in her heart: it turned out that Lin Yuelan could always feel herself, see herself, and touch herself, but she thought it was just her own illusion and illusion, and she couldn't imagine that it was real.
So, she excitedly ran to find Lin Yuelan.
In the Ming Pavilion, Lin Yuelan is looking at a painting, which is a scene of a woman sitting quietly in the moonlight.
"Childe, isn't this Miss Nanzhu? She'll be overjoyed to know that you've painted her a picture. Qingfeng smiled.
When Du Ruo came in, he happened to hear Lin Yuelan answer, "No, although Nanzhu looks a bit like her, both of them love red, but it is another woman, the woman I have been thinking about for a long time." ”
Du Ruo looked at the woman in the painting, dressed in red, her eyebrows were like green daisies, she was out of the world in the distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, she was lightly wrapped in the smoke and clouds, her red lips were slightly upturned, like a new bud in the spring rain, and there was a kind of unearthly beauty in the beauty.
She felt that the woman was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, and she couldn't remember it for a while, but when she remembered that she looked mediocre, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself when she compared the two.
Qingfeng touched his head, "Why have I never seen this woman, when did Childe meet her?" ”
Lin Yuelan smiled and did not answer, the smile in her eyes revealed a warmth.
Du Ruo looked at the two people in front of her who asked and answered, and was stunned for a moment, her heart was cold to the bottom, regretting that she came to Lin Yuelan so eagerly. Just thinking that Lin Yuelan was different from her, it turned out that it was just his wishful thinking, it turned out that he already had a sweetheart. That woman was so beautiful, no wonder she was the person he had been thinking about for a long time. Du Ruo, Du Ruo, why can't you change your love and fantasy? He drank alone last night, probably for the sake of that woman, and it has nothing to do with you. Even if he could see you, feel you, and cover you with his clothes, so what? It's just a pity to see that you are alone, pitiful, and sympathetic. Thinking like this, she silently put Lin Yuelan's clothes on the chair and walked out.
Lin Yuelan received her movements from the corner of her eyes, was stunned for a while, and put the painting away silently.
"Childe, what's wrong with you, why are you okay at the beginning, and you will ...... in a while", Qingfeng was very puzzled.
"It's nothing, you go out first, I'll be quiet first." Lin Yuelan sat down at the table, stroked her forehead with one hand, turned the wine glass on the table with the other, and muttered to herself, "It is said that a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, is really true." I really don't know what she thinks, I confessed my thoughts just now, and there is no reason to be angry and leave. ”
