A jujube tree grows on the side of the flower bed in the front garden of the Song Mansion, and the warm autumn sun shines on the layers of branches and leaves, emitting a white and brilliant silver light.

This year's jujube knots are thin, but the pieces are distinct, and the sunny side is dyed a rich crimson color.

Luo Chanyi's slender fingertips dodged the spikes above, pinched a branch and pressed it down, reached out and pulled down a date and stuffed it into his mouth, clicking.

The jujube is very crisp, the more you chew, the sweeter it becomes, and the small kernel in her mouth has not had time to spit it out, and she has taken a fancy to the higher one.

The branches are sunny, and this one is almost red.

She carefully pressed the branch, stood on tiptoe to reach it, and when she saw that only half a finger was about to touch it, a hand took the lead and snatched the date.

She was startled and immediately turned her head, it turned out to be him.

The branch in her hand let go and bounced back with a "whoosh".

Sun Mian stood beside the jujube tree, so startled that he dodged slightly, then smiled, spread his palm and sent it to her: "Give." ”

Luo Chanyi glanced at the red dates in his hand, looked at his face again, and said extremely strangely: "Why are you here?" ”

How could he still appear here, with Lu Jue's heart, he should have already revealed him to Miss Song!

"Tomorrow is Qixi Festival, I'm here to discuss with Rou'er about going out to play." He laughed.

Luo Chanyi thought for a while: "Is Miss Du also with you?" ”

The expression on his face paused, but after a moment, he squinted and laughed again: "You said my sister-in-law, of course she is not with us, she is really just my sister-in-law." ”

"Yes, sister-in-law." Luo Chan nodded matter-of-factly.

Sun Mian looked at her and asked, "Miss Lu has any arrangements for tomorrow?"

She said that her name was Luo Chanyi, but everyone decided that she and Lu Jue were brother and sister, so they took it for granted that she was talking about "Lu Chanyi", and she didn't want to make trouble for herself, so she simply made a mistake.

"Yes, of course."

She had long since lost the mood to eat dates, so she said a few perfunctory words, turned around and left.

She didn't go back to the room, but knocked directly on Lu Jue's door, Lu Jue lived next door to her, but there was usually no sound, as if there was no one next door.

Lu Jue opened the door in a hurry, and when he saw that it was her, he was a little surprised: "It's you?" ”

"I have something to ask you." She squeezed into the room from his side.

I saw a picture of "Family Care" on the table at the head of the bed.

In the painting, the courtyard of the Song Mansion, Master Song and Mrs. Song are sitting on rattan chairs in front of the porch, and various melons and fruit pastries are placed on the round table in front of them, while Song Rou is standing obediently behind the two, holding a light yarn fan in her hand, leaning over to listen to the conversation of the two elders.

This picture of the family is not as one-dimensional as usual, with the elders sitting in front and the juniors standing solemnly at the side.

It is more like a scene in their lives, tranquil and natural and full of fireworks, the picture is fresh and elegant, the atmosphere is peaceful, and even the houses behind them and the surrounding flowers and plants are vivid, and the whole picture is only Song Rou and Mrs. Song are not completed.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jue also came to the table.

She turned her eyes to look at him, and then remembered her intentions, so she asked, "Didn't you tell Miss Song about Sun Mian?" ”

"Got it." When he heard that it was this, he was obviously not very interested, and continued to sit back in front of the desk, and picked up the paintbrush.

"Got it?" Luo Chanyi frowned slightly, and thought suspiciously: "She doesn't believe it either, right, otherwise how can she go to spend Qixi with Sun Mian......"

Lu Jue's thin pen tip stopped suddenly, did not raise his head, and only said: "Then what about you, should you go with Sun Mian?" ”

Luo Chanyi felt inexplicable and almost laughed: "I'm ...... with him"

Halfway through speaking, the disdainful and sarcastic expression on her face suddenly froze, as if she was in deep thought, and she didn't move for a long time, and she didn't even roll her eyes.

After a long time, she blinked her dry eyes and muttered, "Yes, it's not impossible to ......."

She thought deeply, her expression became more and more serious, and she forgot to say hello to Lu Jue, and walked directly towards the door.

Lu Jue, who didn't notice it at all, looked at her in disbelief, as if he was looking at a fool who knew that there was an abyss cliff ahead, or jumped down without hesitation.

The second day is Tanabata.

Early in the morning, Luo Chanyi changed into the new clothes that Mrs. Song gave her before.

I didn't eat breakfast, so I sat in front of the gate of the Song Mansion, and in the morning light, she seemed to be waiting for something.

After a long time, there was the sound of footsteps not far away, and she saw the man approaching a little bit, but she didn't look up.

Sun Mian saw her in front of the Song Mansion from a distance, under the shadow of bamboo branches.

Today, she changed into a new dress, a snow-blue cardigan skirt, and a hairband of the same color between her buns, which looks so tight.

She was sitting on the stone pier in front of the door, her head hanging down, holding a thin wooden branch in her hand, poking around on the ground, not seeing what she was drawing, in any case not in a good mood.

He walked up to her and accosted her with a smile: "Miss Lu, are you waiting for someone here?" ”

She slowly raised her head, glanced at him against the rising sun, and let out a "hmm" in a lack of interest.

Her face is always very white, even if she is swayed by the red morning glow at this time, there is no trace of blood, coupled with her cold and indifferent expression, it is like a beauty sculpture carved by ice and snow.

Sun Mian couldn't move his steps, looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help but joke: "Today is Qixi Festival, are you waiting for your lover?" ”

Only this time, she didn't give him a harsh look as expected, or turn around and leave.

On the contrary, her innocent face slowly lifted up again, and an extremely serious look appeared, her eyes were a little lost and empty, and she shook her head: "Wait for someone else's lover." ”

The corners of his laughing mouth also fell, and he was stunned for a few seconds: "Someone else's? ”

"What's wrong?" She looked up at him: "My sweetheart happens to be someone else's lover, can't he?" ”

When she said this, she looked at him, and she had never looked at him with a focused gaze that turned back and forth, like a bottomless lake in late autumn, locked with a faint mist of sorrow, which made people's hearts hurt a little.

"Okay, of course, okay......" He swallowed his saliva sharply, an inexplicable sense of panic coming from nowhere.

Sun Mian never dreamed that he would be at a loss when facing a certain woman.

And the look in her eyes just now gave rise to a strange feeling in his heart, like an unpredictable flame, wanting to be extinguished, and inexplicably, he asked a sentence: "Then is he here?" ”

When she heard this, she was stunned for a moment: "It's coming." ”

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes to look at him, and under the delicate eyelashes, there were very deep, deep eyes, as if thousands of words leaked out of these desperately beautiful eyes, which were secrets that could not be wrapped.

At this glance, Sun Mian's heart seemed to be held hard, and then, a kind of heat overflowed from the heart, flowing to the limbs in an instant, and penetrating the whole body.

My mind was dizzy, and there was a feeling of unreality, this feeling was like a ball of catkins, I couldn't grasp it, I couldn't hold it firmly, and my heart was itching.

He suddenly squatted down in front of her, and looked into her eyes eagerly and suppressedly: "Cicada clothes...... How did I not know ......"

Her gaze slanted again, falling elsewhere: "Don't say it, you can go in." ”

The expression on her face changed back to the cold one she had before, and at this moment, he felt that everything he had just felt was an illusion.

Suddenly far and near, hot and cold, this feeling made him feel uncomfortable in his heart.

How could he never know, if she really had this kind of thought for him, how could he not be aware of it?

The girls looked at each other, gestured and moved, he could hear the voices in their hearts, could it be that she was so lukewarm before, just because she was jealous?

"Cicada Yi, blame me for being stupid, I didn't understand your mind until this moment, but today, I made an appointment with Rou'er......" He stretched out his hand to shake her small fist holding a wooden branch.

She dodged first, told him to catch the air, and said in a cold tone: "I know, you go, wait for us...... There will be a chance in the next life. ”

He was shocked: "Next, next life?!" ”

She lowered her gaze, threw away the twig in her hand, clapped her hands, and said no more.

Sun Mian looked at her, and her heart was very entangled, if she was another woman, no matter what she said or did, she was just coquettish and pampered, and her sweet words were not good, and the rouge skirt could always make them smile like flowers.

But the woman in front of him, he was not half sure, as if she said that in the next life, she would really have to wait until the next life.

"Cicada clothes, don't worry, you can let me go and talk to her." He looked at her reverently and tenderly.

Luo Chanyi finally stopped stingy with his gaze, turned his eyes to look at him, and suddenly smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were bent, and he was no longer as cold as water as usual.

Sun Mian couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, and smiled at her, he felt that it was worth it.

The joy in his heart lasted until he saw Song Rou.

Song Rou was sitting in front of the dresser dressing up, wearing her favorite bead earrings on her ears, and the maid behind her was holding a wooden comb to comb her long black hair to the end.

Hearing the sound of footsteps at the door, the maid turned her head to look and saw that it was Sun Mian, and couldn't help but stop her movements in surprise.

Song Rou also turned her head to look over, her beautiful eyes were slightly startled, and she immediately stood up with her dress: "Why did you come in?" ”

A woman's boudoir is not allowed to enter casually, especially his grandson, Master Song strictly forbids it, and orders the families up and down the Song Mansion to stare at this matter.

But Song Rou's tone did not reproach, but carried a gentle coquettishness.

She stood in front of him and looked at his eyebrows with tenderness: "I can't wait, no one else will see you when you come in." ”

Sun Mian didn't speak for a while, looking at Song Rou's delicate makeup and hair accessories in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart.

After all, before that, he was the most satisfied with Song Rou.

She is different from other women's nonsense and insatiable, she is always so considerate and sensible, and can even think what he thinks.

He reached out and stroked her shoulder: "Rou'er, I'm afraid I can't be with you today, you can beat me and scold me." ”

Song Rou's face froze for a moment, and then showed concern: "Did something happen?" ”

He sighed in embarrassment: "My mother is sick, and I have to take care of it at home." ”

"Auntie is sick?!" Song Roujunxiu's brows frowned: "Your mother and son are inconvenient, why don't I take care of it for you?" ”

Sun Mian was about to find a reason to refuse, but at this moment, Luo Chanyi's voice came from outside the window: "Sun Gongzi? Sun Gongzi? ”

Sun Mian was startled, looked out the window, and did not respond.

Song Rou also immediately heard that it was Luo Chanyi's voice, glanced at Sun Mian suspiciously, turned her head to look at the maid, and ordered, "Go and invite Miss Lu in." ”

The maid went out with her front feet, and a louder shout came from outside the window:

"Sun Gongzi, don't be afraid of her, just tell her that you are going to spend Qixi with me, and see what she can do with you!"
