Chapter 106: Stick beating mandarin ducks
"Lamei? Is that you? ā
"It's me, third brother." As soon as Lamei finished speaking, Zhao Boting hugged her into his arms.
"Three... Third brother, this is not appropriate. Lamei cried and struggled.
"Lamei, there is no one, just let me hug you! I don't know if I can come back. ā
Zhao Boting said this, Lamei was only left worried, and all the etiquette and etiquette were left behind.
"No, you'll be back." Lamei looked at Zhao Boting with a pair of teary eyes.
Zhao Boting let go of her and wiped her tears with his hand. "Don't cry, I can't finish wiping it."
Zhao Boting tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and Lamei looked at it, and her tears fell even more. "Third brother, you promise me! Promise me! You must come back. ā
Lamei lay in Zhao Boting's arms, sobbing.
Zhao Boting hugged her tightly and solemnly promised. "Okay, I promise you. I promise you. Will definitely come back and marry you. ā
"Hmmm! I will... Will definitely be waiting for you. ā
"I know." Zhao Boting finally couldn't hold back his tears, he held Lamei in one hand and quietly wiped the tears on his face with the other.
"You! When I was a child, I was a crybaby, and I am so old, but it still hasn't changed. ā
Lamei was so angry that she slapped his chest with her fist, and said while wiping her tears: "I'm not, it's not because of you." Good end, from what army, what can I do. As he spoke, the tears that had just been withdrawn burst the embankment again.
"Good, good! It's my fault, it's me who is sorry for you, stop crying! ā
"It's good to know." Lamei either wanted to blame him, or she wanted to get a word, a word that would make her believe that the person in front of her cared about her.
"I was in a hurry last time and didn't explain it to you. I didn't want to join the army..."As soon as Zhao Boting said this, Lamei asked anxiously.
"Then you..."
Zhao Boting grabbed her arms and told her to calm down. "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. The reason why I went to join the army is actually related to my second brother. ā
Seeing that Lamei was calm, Zhao Boting let go of her and brushed the broken hair on her forehead. "He lost money in business, and his family took a lot of money to help, and he borrowed a lot outside. This time, the tax was paid at the end of the year, and the family really couldn't afford it, so they could only serve as a forced laborer. I'm not married, and I'm young and strong, so I'm the most suitable. ā
"I see. Actually, you don't have to say this, I'll wait for you. ā
"I know that Mer is the best for me. But you left home for me and disobeyed your parents, and I should give you an explanation. Zhao Boting caressed Lamei's face and called her affectionately.
"By the way, wasn't there an old man living here before? Why is Chun Tao here? ā
This Chun Tao didn't say anything, but she suddenly moved here. As for the reason, I don't know very well. ā
Zhao Boting nodded, and suddenly smiled: "I'm leaving tomorrow, this is the last time we will meet, let's not talk about other people's affairs." ā
"Hmmm! Tomorrow... Can I send you tomorrow? ā
"It's better not to, it's safe for you to hide here, if you are discovered. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that when I come back, I won't see you. ā
"But... But I want to see you more, I... I..."Lamei's tears fell again, but this time the difference was that she took the initiative to hug Zhao Boting. "I can't bear you."
Zhao Boting was taken aback, and immediately reacted and hugged her. "You know, I'll be back. You have to be willing to let go of the current me, so that you can get me in the future! ā
"What now, later. I don't understand, I just can't bear you. I... I'll go with you! Lamei looked up and cried and pleaded. Good no good? Let me go with you? ā
"Well, it's not for you. You are waiting for me here, and I will definitely come back and marry you. You trust me! ā
Zhao Boting's eyes were reluctant, but more resolute. Lamei knew that he would not agree, so she could only bury herself in his arms and enjoy this last warmth. "Good!"
Chun Tao and Zhou Kuiruo sat at the door for a long time, and the two of them quietly looked at the night without speaking.
To be exact, it was Chun Tao who was thinking about how to get Zhou Kuiruo into the room. And Zhou Kuiruo stared at Chun Tao all the time.
The sky is full of stars, and the beautiful scenery of the good day is left out in the cold.
The longer the two stayed at the door, the more panicked Chun Tao became. Fortunately, Zhou Kuiruo took the initiative to speak and wanted to go back to the room. "It's late at night, late autumn, dew heavy, let's go in!"
"Hmmm! Good! Chun Tao couldn't wait to go back, and as soon as Zhou Kuiruo finished speaking, Chun Tao stood up and stepped into the door.
What's wrong with her today? He didn't seem to want to stay with me. Zhou Kuiruo looked at Chun Tao's anxious appearance and thought thoughtfully.
Chun Tao walked a few steps, didn't hear Zhou Kuiruo's footsteps, and stopped to look back. I happened to see him thoughtfully.
He wouldn't be suspicious, would he? No, I didn't reveal anything. Don't panic, don't panic if you do something wrong. "What do you want?"
"I didn't think about anything, I just thought it was weird."
"What's weird?" Chun Tao's eyes were erratic, afraid that Zhou Kuiruo would see something, so he hurriedly turned around and continued to walk.
Zhou Kuiruo followed behind her, "Why do you say that March is so late and you came to find Lamei?" ā
"That's right! Why? Don't call me yet? Chun Tao was looking for an opportunity to see March, and this opportunity was delivered to him.
"And she's not going back at such a late hour?"
"Hmmm! She's not going to spend the night here, is she? Chun Tao stopped and looked at Zhou Kuiruo as if she was thinking.
"Could there be something going on at home?"
You're so sweet. Chun Tao was very happy in her heart, but she frowned, showing a worried look. "Probably not, or she'll call me. In this case, I'll go and see, and you go back to your room first. ā
"Good!"
As soon as Chun Tao got permission, she immediately changed direction and walked towards the room where Lamei lived, and just a few steps away, she was stopped by Zhou Kuiruo.
"Wait!"
What's wrong with it? Chun Tao put away her impatience, turned around and asked in a flat tone, "What?" ā
"The bed in Lamei's room is very small, remember to come back and sleep."
I was worried that I would run away! Chun Tao couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't know it. "Yes."
After speaking, Chun Tao left, leaving Zhou Kuiruo, who was soul-filled by the unconscious smile, to stay where he was.
It turned out that she...
Chun Tao's smile gave Zhou Kuiruo infinite reverie.
As soon as she entered Lamei's room, Chun Tao closed the door and walked to the table to wake up March, who was sleeping on the table. "Wake up!"
"Lamei, are you finally back?" In a daze, March recognized the wrong person.
"It's me, Chun Tao."
"Oh! It's you! March rubbed his eyes, saw people clearly, didn't see Lamei in his field of vision, and March looked behind Chun Tao again. What about Lamei? ā
Chun Tao shook her head and sat down. "Haven't come back yet."
"Haven't come back yet? What time has it been? I'm sleepy. ā
"Shhhh Whisper. Chun Tao looked outside the door, turned to March and said, "I don't know when Lamei will come back, I think you will sleep here!" ā
"No, it's so late. I've got to get her back. March stood up indignantly.
"Hmm!" March stood up and had already walked to the door, only to find that Chun Tao, who had responded to the voice, was sitting on a chair and had not moved.
"You're not going?"
"I'm here to cover, what if someone comes?" Chun Tao drank water, and there was no trace of melancholy on her face.
"Then I... Iā" March stood at the doorway and suddenly became entangled for no reason, thought about it, and loosened the deadbolt. "I'm not going either. I went alone, and I looked like a man beating a mandarin duck. ā
"You are not a person who beats mandarin ducks, at most you are a stick that beats mandarin ducks."
"What are you muttering about?"
"It's nothing, it's time for me to go back. You can sleep here! ā
"Hey! You..."March wanted to stop Chun Tao, but she was afraid that she would wake up Aunt Zhou too loudly, so she had to give up.
"Forget it, no matter. Sleep matters. March glanced out the door again, muttering something as she took off her coat. I climbed into bed and yawned, and fell asleep after a while after covering the quilt.
