Chapter 200: Snowy Night Confession
After noon, a female official was sent to teach the etiquette in the palace.
"This is the Wan Zhangyi of our workshop." The eunuch introduced.
But seeing that the female official's face was demure, dignified and beautiful, and her gestures were even more calm.
Liu Ruyan recognized the female official in front of her, Wan Sima's daughter, like this autumn.
How did Miss Wan appear in Jinling?
The female official said "Wanfu" to everyone, and when she got up, she saw Liu Ruyan and said with a light smile: "This girl from the Bai clan is so beautiful." β
Liu Ruyan smiled, but thought in her heart - no, Miss Wan should know her, why didn't she recognize her?
"Two days later, it will be the birthday of the lord of the country, and for the time being, this master will teach you to learn the etiquette of the palace."
"There is Lao Wan's hand."
Towards the end of the evening, when everyone had finished practicing etiquette, they went back to their rooms.
Gong Yuyu deliberately fell behind everyone, he glanced at Liu Ruyan and took her to the side hall.
"I've done some modifications to the previous puppets, but I have to find you to do the last process." He took out a drawing and handed it to Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan took the paper and had a certain number in her heart: "It takes a little effort, and it should be done before tomorrow night." β
In the winter moon, the sky of Jinling City is vast.
Tomorrow is the birthday of the lord of the country, Liu Ruyan cleaned up in the house, she looked out the window, and the crystal snow fell on the windowsill.
She pushed the door open, and the snowflakes fell, with a refreshing coolness.
The palace lanterns in the distance have already burned through, like a galaxy in the sky, inseparable from the snowflakes in the sky.
Under the snowfall, by the lamplight, there is a figure standing in the night, I don't know how long I have been standing.
"You also like to enjoy the snow." She approached slowly and looked up at the sky, "The snow in Jinling has a different scenery." β
Shen Yanchu spread out his palm, and a snowflake turned into a droplet: "It just reminds me of last year's cold winter, and it was also such a snowy night, you and I were all in the Innocent Mountain Villa." Time has passed, and we have known each other for a year. β
Liu Ruyan sighed: "There is indeed a year. β
Suddenly, she was stunned.
"You're ...... Remember? She asked.
Shen Yanchu lowered his eyes to look at her.
"Liu Langjun." He spoke quietly.
Liu Ruyan's face changed slightly.
He furrowed his eyebrows and took a step closer to her: "Why are you afraid of me? β
Liu Ruyan's heart was shocked, but her face was calm: "Who said I was afraid of you." β
Shen Yanchu took a step closer: "In all fairness, how do you treat me?" β
Without thinking, she replied, "Very good." β
"Good as a brother?" He took another step closer and stopped in front of her, "So this way south, you and I are in the same boat through thick and thin, just for the so-called brotherly affection?" β
Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and was speechless for a while.
Shen Yanchu stared at her for a long time.
In response to him, only the snow fell mercilessly, and the wind in his ears intensified.
The sparkle in his eyes was extinguished.
"Anyway, the Lord of the Firmament is bloodthirsty and ruthless, and everyone is afraid of it, so why am I dissatisfied if I can be treated with you with blue eyes and be commensurate with brothers." He laughed to himself and turned to step into the snow.
Liu Ruyan looked at his back, and on a snowy night, his eyes seemed to be covered by snow, and his vision gradually became blurred.
She hung her head and clutched her chest, which looked like it had been hollowed out.
It hurts.
The night was thick.
There was silence all around, and the cold wind blew across the corridor, sending out a whimper.
She opened her lips, and her voice was inaudible: "Yan Chuβ"
In the endless snow, the red plum bloomed alone, and Shen Yan paused suddenly, looking back in an instant.
Then he saw her pass through the flowers, step through the snow, run all the way to the front, and hug him.
Liu Ruyan lowered her face and murmured over and over again:
"Don't goβ"
"Yan Chu, don't go-"
She trembled, like a wandering catkins, staggering in the wind, unaccompanied.
"I'm not leaving." He said softly, looking at the hand around his waist, and couldn't help but persuade, "It's cold at night, let's go into the house first." β
Liu Ruyan was unmoved, hugged him tightly, and let the snowflakes fall on his face:
"When I was twelve years old, my father left me, and last winter, Uncle Quan and Xiao Yang left me again. My life is probably my ultimate fate. β
Come like dust, return like dust.
She is used to seeing life and death, and she has seen too much death, how dare she open her heart and spend the day and night with Ichiro-kun like an ordinary woman?
"As a general, I have long put life and death aside, and the love of the sea of red dust is something I dare not think about. Until one day, I met a man who was happy with him and sad with him. β
First taste of love.
"Later, as soon as I said goodbye to Yongshan, I knew that in this life, I couldn't keep anyone."
"I know in my heart that you and I met in Pingshui, and parting is a matter of time and time. No matter whether you hate or love in the past, in the end, you go south to Dali, and I go north to Dahan, after all, it is still a different way. β
"I'm so afraid of parting, only by consoling myself that I have nothing to ask for and nothing to worry about, and I may be better off for the rest of my life."
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky is full of silver and white.
Liu Ruyan's cheeks were red from freezing in the snow, but she still said:
"These words, I wanted to rot in my heart."
"But if you are lucky enough to breathe until the end of your life, in your old age, you will recall the past, and I am afraid that you will leave a regret."
"In this life, I have done too many regretful things, and every time I remember it, I regret it at the beginning, and my heart hurts like a knife."
"Yan Chu, do you know how much pain I feel in my heart?"
It's not that you don't love, but you don't dare to love.
"You're the fool and dream of my youth." She sighed softly.
"Life should be the same, and death should be the same hole." Shen Yanchu took her hand, looked at the girl in front of her, wiped the snow from the tip of her nose, and loved and pity.
"When the chief director is over, I will go back to Beihan to look for you." He paused word by word, "For the rest of my life, there will be me." β
Liu Ruyan was stunned and stared at him.
"Live and die with you, never leave you." He made a careful promise.
Liu Ruyan pursed her lips tightly, silently lowered her eyes, and the tails of her eyes finally turned red.
When she raised her eyes again, she smiled lightly and said jokingly: "Who said that the master was going to live and die with you, but when I saw that you were handsome, I coveted it in my heart." β
She pulled her hand out of his palm, helplessly being held tightly by the other party.
She stood on tiptoe, not lightly or heavily, and bit his lip.
Obviously feeling his body stiffen, she let go of her lips and teeth, and looked at it with a smile: "I've coveted your beauty for a long time, and now I finally succeeded." β
"Why, is it possible, do you really think I am happy with you?" She laughed cynically.
"Affectionate?"
"How is that possible?"
She laughed.
"If it is as you say, why is it that sorrow is revealed in your eyes?" Shen Yanchu leaned down and tapped his fingertips on her eyebrows, "I will also feel sad to see you pretending to be strong." β
He said wistfully, rubbing the girl in front of him into his arms: "I am human, and I will also feel heartache." β
Do you know if you are beautiful?
