Chapter 59: Confession
In the dense forest, Chen Zhiyan and Xie Enran have been walking for a long time, but they haven't been able to get out after going back and forth for a long time. Chen Zhiyi has always been sensitive to the road, but now she is lost.
"No wonder those people in black don't chase after here," Chen Zhiyi stopped, crossed his hands on his hips, frowned and wanted to rest for a while, "This forest can't get around, there must be something weird." ”
Xie Ran let out a long sigh, "Then what should I do, you also know that I don't know Qianmo, and you can't get around, so don't count on me." ”
Chen Zhiyi stretched out his hand to say goodbye to the broken hair in his ears, feeling a little irritable.
This dense forest is too dense, even if Chen Zhiyi wants to jump up and look into the distance, this forest will not allow it, so this situation is really annoying.
I don't know how long I walked, Chen Zhiyan really couldn't walk, so he simply lay on the ground and looked at the intersecting leaves and branches above his head, "Xie Enran, you said that I am a wise person, will I lose my life?" ”
Xie Ran sat beside her, and couldn't help but glance at her when she heard the words, "What nonsense, we can get out." ”
Chen Zhiyan felt uncomfortable lying flat, so he changed his position again, "Where is there nonsense." I didn't eat much in the morning and came to Donglin, but I was not only tricked, but also hunted down. It's good now, it's been so long, it's getting dark outside, I'm really hungry......"
Chen Zhiyi felt that most of her previous life was starved to death, and as long as she was a little hungry in this life, she would feel uncomfortable.
Even Xie Ran was amused by her words, he leaned against the trunk of the tree, bent one foot, and put his hand on it, "Don't worry, we'll be fine." ”
Chen Zhiyi ignored him, plucked a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to gesture at the branches and leaves above his head.
"What are you doing?" Xie Eran saw that one of her hands kept shaking in the air, and asked curiously.
"Divert your attention," Chen Zhiyu replied, "Look at the branches on it, this and that, they all go from left to right, but after twisting and turning, they can finally cross together, isn't it amazing?" ”
Xie Ran followed Chen Zhiyan's fingers and looked upward, and his hand unconsciously gestured there, "When you say this, it seems that it is really ......."
Xie Eran suddenly felt that the two trees were himself and Chen Zhiyi.
Their family backgrounds are similar and their fates are similar, the difference is that Chen Zhiyi is unwilling to be bound, she prefers to go her own way, and Xie Enran Although she doesn't like the capital, she has always been tied up in the capital.
I just don't know, will the two of them go through twists and turns, and finally be together?
The Chen family and the Xie family were originally in-laws, and if they were also together, it would be a kiss and a kiss. The Chen and Xie families will also be friends for generations.
"Zhiyi," Xie Ranran called her, and the other party was still gesturing on the branches, "You like the rivers and lakes, so is there anyone you like in the rivers and lakes?" ”
Chen Zhiyi's hand suddenly stiffened, and he slowly clenched into a fist and stretched it out, "Someone you like?" A lot, for example, a friend of mine, called Feng Niang, she, the secret weapon is good, and the person is also beautiful, and she has helped me a lot. One time I drank too much, and it was she who took care of me all night. ”
Chen Zhiyi probably knew what Xie Erran meant. Like someone?
There are no rivers and lakes, but there are in the capital.
She doesn't like the capital, but the person she likes is in the capital. She likes rivers and lakes, but the people she likes don't seem to like rivers and lakes. If she can, she also wants to walk the rivers and lakes with the people she likes. If it weren't for the people she missed in the capital, I'm afraid she wouldn't stay in the capital for the rest of her life.
"Do you have a man you like in the rivers and lakes?" Xie Enran's heart tightened, and he was afraid and looking forward to Chen Zhiyan's answer.
Chen Zhiyi's smile gradually faded, she got up and leaned against the trunk of the tree, glanced sideways at Xie Enran, who was looking down, and smiled again, "No." ”
Xie Eran breathed a sigh of relief.
A long sigh of relief.
Chen Zhiyi also asked: "What about you, do you have a favorite girl?" If so, tell me and I'll help you......"
When she said this, she smiled very easily, but whether this so-called light and loose is true or false, only she knows.
Xie Eran said: "Yes." ”
"Which? When I get out, I'll talk to her and see how this person is. Chen Zhiyi's hands grabbed the dirt around him, and his nails were dirty.
"Chen's."
Chen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the soil also paused.
The Chen family?
There are several families with the surname Chen in the capital, and she is also surnamed Chen.
"Are you talking about me?" Chen Zhiyi pulled away his smile and said half-jokingly.
"yes......"
yes, that's talking about you. Xie Ran didn't think of his courage, and he said what he had been holding back for many years in this casual chat.
The forest was silent, no one spoke, not even the wind. Chen Zhiyan listened to Xie Enran's answer, and he didn't know whether he was happy or something else?
I guess I'm happy.
"Actually, I've liked you for a long time, but I don't dare to tell you, I'm afraid you'll laugh at me," said everything, then let's finish it all at once, Xie Eran suddenly had the courage, "My cousin told me a few times about things between us, and I also wanted to confess my thoughts to you several times, but I was afraid, afraid that you would laugh at me and reject me." ”
Chen Zhiyi lowered his head and listened silently.
"Zhiyi, you are different from other girls, either deliberately different, or give me a different feeling......" Xie Ran was a little nervous, and he couldn't remember what he said in the last sentence.
"You don't like the capital, you like the rivers and lakes, you like freedom."
Chen Zhiyi listened, his eyes flashed, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
What Xie Ene said then, Chen Zhiyan couldn't remember, but when he finished speaking, Chen Zhiyi's smile was very bright, and Xie Ene saw her smiling and didn't speak.
If he spoke, Chen Zhiyi would definitely immediately retract his smile, and then vigorously said that he was not smiling.
It would be better to make her smile.
Silence returned to the woods.
Chen Zhiyi suddenly stood up and patted the dirt in his hands, but the nails had to be cleaned again, "Let's go, we will definitely be able to get out." ”
Now it was dark, and they had no lights, and they could easily trip over the thick roots that grew out of them after a few steps.
Xie Lenran also stood up, walked in front of Chen Zhiyi, and cautiously lowered his head to look at the road on the ground. Chen Zhiyi made marks on the trees as he walked, which was conducive to finding the way.
In the past, she also got lost in the woods, which was to mark the trees with stones a few times to prove that she had come, and then take a different path. I didn't do this directly before, I just wanted to stay with Xie Eran for a while.
Of course, such a simple method Xie Eran naturally knew that the reason for not doing this was the same as Chen Zhiyan.
After saying so much just now, Chen Zhiyan didn't answer a word, but Xie Ene was very happy, because she didn't refuse, she still smiled, and she smiled very happily.
On the way, when Chen Zhiyi was marking, a spider crawled onto her hand, it was black and big, and Chen Zhiyi's face turned white with fright.
Xie Eran knew that this girl was not afraid of the earth since she was a child, and what she was most afraid of was not only her father Chen Bozhong's verbosity, but also those strange-looking insects.
So Xie Eran took away the spider for him, holding Chen Zhiyi's hand all the way behind, and carving marks for her with the other hand.
Xie Enran's hands have grown very well since he was a child, he was a little calloused when he practiced calligraphy when he was a child, but it was not thick, his palms were wide and thick, and his fingers were slender, Chen Zhiyan liked to look at his hands.
In comparison, Chen Zhiyi's hands are a little unsightly. Her nails are not long, and some of the dirt in them was scratched just now, and her fingers were originally quite thin, just practicing swords and martial arts, so that the calluses on her hands are many and thick.
Xie Eran could feel that Chen Zhiyan's hands were a little rough, and there were some scars, which may have been cut by the sword, but they had already scabbed.
It's just distressing.
When they went out, Chen Zhiyan and Xie Ran both felt that the air was fresher, the forest was too dense and stuffy, and they were sweating a little after walking for so long.
They entered the forest from Donglin, but this is not Donglin, so it seems that they must have come from another place.
"Let's go back." Chen Zhiyi pulled his hand back from Xie Enran.
Xie Ran was stunned for a moment, nodded and followed.
Back in the hunting ground, the two went to find Xie Shi, Xie Fanghua was also sitting in the room, and when he saw Chen Zhiyi and Xie Enran coming back, he quickly got up and released his clenched fists.
"Are you two alright?" After sending so many forbidden troops to find Chen Zhiyi and Xie Enran, Xie was sweating profusely with worry, and now that the two of them suddenly appeared in front of him safely, Xie was somewhat overjoyed.
Chen Zhiyi laughed a few times, ran over and took Xie's hand and shook it, "It's okay, mother!" Your daughter and I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and those assassins are nothing at all! ”
Xie Shi smiled helplessly, she suddenly saw that her daughter had a wound on her arm, and hurriedly went to take a closer look, "I also said that it was okay, such a long wound." ”
Chen Zhiyi comforted her: "Mother, it's really okay, this wound is not deep, and it won't take long to heal." ”
Xie Fanghua also walked over and gently patted the back of Xie's hand, telling her to feel at ease, "Mother, Zhiyi and Ran finally came back, and they didn't eat lunch or dinner." ”
Xie patronized the safety of Chen Zhiyi and Xie Enran, which she really didn't expect, but fortunately, the eldest daughter reminded her in time, and she told the maid to prepare dinner.
Chen Zhiyu washed his hands, and after washing the dirt on his fingernails, he stared at his rough hands again.
A few scabs on his hands were a little conspicuous, which were accidentally scratched when he was practicing a new move some time ago, Chen Zhiyi didn't feel anything before, but now he ......
Xie Eran must be able to feel the roughness of his hands, right?
Will he care?
Chen Zhiyan lost her mind, her hands soaked in the water for a long time, until Xie Lenran came to call her to eat, she came back to her senses and wiped her hands on her body, but she felt that something was wrong, so she asked the maid for a handkerchief.
