Chapter 21 and the Book of Departure
Noah felt that she should turn away, but there was always a little bit of reluctance in her heart, and her body finally followed her inner thoughts honestly. Just for a while, for a while, let yourself feel his temperature again, after all, it may become a luxury in the future.
She didn't speak with a cold face, picked up the rice bowl in her hand, and buried her head in struggle. She devoured it with all her heart, but it tasted like chewing wax, and she didn't know what kind of food Chu Qingchen had cooked with her heart.
Bailijiu sat on the sidelines, watching her eat sweetly, and her deep-set eyes overflowed with satisfaction.
"These days, I'm worried about you, and it's hard to sleep, why do you look red, as if you're still fat?"
Noah's mouth was stuffed with food, and she gave him a blank look and remained silent.
"Is it because of the hot weather?" Bailijiu continued to talk to himself.
"I remember that you would spit out a little bit of ginger in the dish, and there was a lot of ginger in his dish." Baili Jiu kindly reminded.
Noah felt the spicy taste of ginger in her mouth, and when she turned her head, she swallowed it raw.
"You are not in front of me, I eat vegetables like this, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are also the same as bitter gourd."
Noah couldn't eat, but she couldn't find an excuse to stay and listen to him, so she continued to eat.
"Bubbles haven't eaten or drunk these days, listless, uncomfortable and unspeakable, and looks pitiful."
Kikyo and Twilight's eyes were swollen from crying. My mother also chatters all day long. ”
"And, Noel......"
Noya stood up suddenly: "Baili Jiu, you are endless, why is a big man babbling like this, it's so annoying!" ”
"I just want to say that I miss you the most, and I miss you more than any of them."
She rested the bowl in her hand on the table, turned around and left.
Bailijiu followed behind her step by step: "Madam, you are really fat, when I was angry before, I could only see your chest trembling, and now it seems that there is fat on your stomach trembling." ”
Noah slammed the door shut, fastened the door, and the whole world was clean and silent. She was silent for a long time, and Bailijiu outside had stopped chattering, as if she was gone.
Is this gone?
Her heart was full of loss, and she bit her lower lip tightly until a salty taste spread into her mouth, and she didn't know if it was tears or blood.
She turned around slowly, and there was no light in the room, and it was already dark in the hazy eyes of tears. She leaned her back against the door, feeling weak and as if she had collapsed. With no one in front of her, she took off all her disguises and covered her face and sobbed lowly.
Suddenly, a strong force pulled her into a familiar embrace, with a familiar temperature, a familiar breath, a familiar feeling, and a familiar strength.
This embrace, which has been appearing in her dreams for the past few days, torments her and deepens her thoughts and desires. Hug or refuse? Obey yourself or be wronged? Her heart began to struggle.
"You know how much I miss you?"
Baili Jiu wrapped his arms tighter, his voice was low and dark, and he muttered eagerly.
"Let go of me." Noah said weakly and reluctantly.
"Never!" Baili Jiu replied categorically, leaned his head, and eagerly explored in the darkness to kiss her forehead, the bridge of her nose, her eyebrows, her lips, and feel the same bitter and bloody taste.
Noah stretched out her arms to refuse, and she was as resolute as she had never been: "Hmm...... Let me go! ”
Baili Jiu obediently left her lips and sighed, "Let me hold it for a while, okay?" Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll suffocate myself from being away from you for too long. ”
Noah's heart softened, and so did her body: "We're done." ”
"Are you still angry with me? Still angry with me that day? The punishment you have given me is too severe. Even if I am really wrong, you should not be so cruel. ”
"I'm not angry, I'm not angry with you, I'm talking to you calmly."
"Noir, tell me, what has happened these days? Who is forcing you to leave me? Who is the man who took you captive? ”
In the silence of the night, the sound of heavy breathing was clearly audible. Their hearts beat together through their thin clothes, just as fast, like a drum.
"It has nothing to do with you." Noah's voice was surprisingly cold.
"Hehe," Bai Lijiu chuckled happily and pressed his forehead against her forehead: "Lin Nuoya, originally I was very sad, my heart was like being torn into pieces by you, but now, hugging you and tasting the blood and sour tears on your lips, I know that you have me in your heart, you are as sad as me, and none of us will have any less pain than the other." Noir, you're in trouble, aren't you? Don't lie to me, I'm still here for big things. ”
Noya stopped the tears in her eyes and sneered: "Baili Jiu, why do you always keep your self-inflicted amorous problem from changing, can't you see it until now?" The things I question about you are just an excuse to leave you, and I don't care what answers you give me. I just fell in love with Chu Qingchen, and I liked it from the beginning, it's as simple as that. ”
"Where is he good with me? My Noel is not stupid, how can I like him? Baili Jiu chuckled, pretending to be relaxed.
Noah pushed him away and broke free from his arms: "He's better than you everywhere, Bailijiu, I can't think of a reason to choose you." ”
"You want a reason? Noya, then I'll give you one. Even if he Chu Qingchen is very good, he is not as good as me to you. He has so many things on him that he can't give you all the joy of your life. He wants to be a peerless man in the world, he is afraid that he will be infamous, afraid of losing his prestige among the people, and suffering from gains and losses, so he can't break through the shackles in his heart at all, even if he likes you, he doesn't dare to say it.
Even though my Baili Jiu is full of purple and red around me, my heart is full of you, and I can't tolerate anything else. And he, even if there is only one woman left in the world, he can't love you wholeheartedly, his heart is too big! And women are just accessories. "Baili Jiuyi changed to laugh, and he has never been serious and dignified.
"Haha, it's ridiculous, it's the first time I've heard someone talk about their own abuse in such a fresh and refined way. Don't you think every word you say is sarcasm? Do you have to make me refute you every word? Bailijiu, I'm tired of you, I don't want to be with you, you can't give me a peaceful life. So, I chose to leave. What's the point of you chasing after it like this? ”
"What's the point? The meaning is that as long as I can see you and hear you speak, I feel comfortable in my heart, even if you stab my heart with a needle to blood, Lin Nuoya, I also feel happy, it's so simple, I won't leave you half a step! Baili Jiu said with a bitter smile.
Noah walked straight to the table, and with trembling hands, fumbled and lit the red candle on the table, reflecting her slightly pale face. There was a pen and ink on the table, she spread the rice paper, grabbed the brush on the table, pondered for a while, put down the pen with a heavy wrist, a few words, and handed it to Bailijiu ruthlessly.
Baili Jiu took it in his hand, but just glanced at it, and tore it to pieces angrily! Whisper roar!
"And leave the book? Lin Noya, are you playing really? Who gave you the guts, who gave you the right? You want to divorce me? I remember telling you that it can never be, and don't even think about it! Even if you die, you are also a person from my Baili Mansion, and you are different from me! ”
With a wave of his hand, shredded paper sprinkled all over the room.
"Why are you doing this?" Lin Nuoya's face was calm, and she was not moved by his words at all: "Baili Jiu, I am just a woman who came out of the Qinglou, tending to be inflammatory, climbing the dragon and the phoenix, that is human nature." Now, I know the second prince's heart, he is willing to favor me for the rest of my life and never marry her, why don't I do it? Why should I stay in the General's Mansion, endure so many grievances, and be bullied by you? ”
Baili Jiuyi punched on the table: "I said, give me time, and I will give you an explanation." ”
Noah had already turned away, and she didn't look at him, as if she was full of disgust: "Bailijiu, what I need is not an explanation, every time after I have been wronged, you come to explain to me, what kind of hardship you have, deceived me around, relieved and forgiven again and again." What's the use? What I need is a shoulder to shelter me from the wind and rain, a man who is reluctant to let me get wet even if tears fall like rain and blood is spilled all over the ground! ”
Noah's accusations completely destroyed the little hope that had just risen in Bailijiu's heart, he looked at Noah's stubborn and thin back, stretched out his hand, and wanted to touch it, only to find that it was a little far away, out of reach.
"Woman, is everything you say true?"
Noah tried to make her laughter more hearty and lighter: "The truth is more hurtful and cruel, and the Nine Masters Day mourns and changes." ”
With a "bang", the table under Bailijiu's hands was shattered and scattered all over the ground, the inkstone pen and ink rolled down, and the ink splashed everywhere.
Noah's body trembled invisibly, but he still didn't look back, just staring at his elongated shadow in the candlelight, like a piece of paper, swaying with the candlelight, swaying, looking miserable, full of decadence and haggard.
He's lost weight, he's lost a lot of weight.
"Woman, you won." Baili Jiu smiled bitterly: "When I came, I warned myself that you must have some unspeakable hardships, so no matter what you say, I will stay and be by your side." But now, I can't bear it anymore, and I continue to be trampled on by you, and I'm afraid that my heart will never survive anymore, and I'll die completely. I'll go back and recuperate, and if I can still catch my breath, I'll come back. If you are completely dead from now on, let it be left to fate. ”
Noah let out a soft "um", full of indifference.
