Chapter 337: Just once
Lu He stood in place, looking at Meng Haowen's back with complicated eyes.
His shoulders were straight, as if carrying all the pressure and responsibility.
Green Lotus's heart is full of contradictions.
She clearly knew that her feelings for Meng Haowen were sincere, and that love was deeply rooted in her heart.
His rare smile, his demeanor, everything about him made her irresistible.
However, she also began to understand that what she wanted to do next might keep them from being together.
She knew that these next choices might make her unable to be with Meng Haowen, and the thought made her feel painful.
Lu He looked at Meng Haowen's back, and couldn't help but think in her heart, even if this relationship was only short-lived, even if this relationship could not last long, she wanted to pursue it.
Because she knows that only by pursuing it bravely will she not leave regrets.
Even if it's just once, she has to hold him hard and keep him in her memory forever.
Perhaps, for the rest of her life, she has a good memory.
Thinking of this, Lu He's heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
Green Lotus smiled, and that smile was like spring sunshine, sprinkled warmly on her face, making her eyes brighter and more moving.
She trotted rapidly, her posture light and graceful, like a flowing ink painting.
Her steps are brisk, revealing a youthful vitality, which makes people involuntarily infected by her enthusiasm.
Her hand, stretched out at this moment, is like capturing a fleeting dream, her fingers, slender and soft, with a unique temperature, like a spring breeze, gently blowing through Meng Haowen's heart.
Green Lotus grabbed Meng Haowen's hand, her palms were slightly sweaty, it was a kind of nervous, expectant sweat, as if telling her inner emotions.
Meng Haowen's hand was tightly held by her, he could feel the temperature of her palm, and suddenly stopped moving forward, and the whole person was stunned.
At this moment, their hands were holding hands, their eyes met, their palms were sweaty, and for a moment they felt that the whole world was quiet.
Meng Haowen felt a slight tightness in his heart, his hand was held tightly by the green lotus, and the soft and delicate skin made him feel a strange nervousness.
He seemed to be caught off guard by this sudden intimate encounter, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
His gaze involuntarily fell on their clasped hands, like the summer sun and the autumn leaves.
He tried to read Green Lotus's emotions, but her expression was like a deep lake, unable to peek into her true heart.
Meng Haowen's fingers trembled slightly, he wanted to pull it out, but he couldn't bear to break the tranquility.
His heartbeat seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and with each beat of his pulse, he experienced a deep trepidation that he had never felt before, chaotic and uneasy, yet with an irresistible attraction.
He looked into the eyes of the green lotus, those eyes as clear as the water of the lake, and they were looking at him gently.
He knew that Green Lotus had no ill intentions, she was just acting according to her own heart, but this did not eliminate the tension and overwhelm in his heart.
"What are you doing here?"
The eyes of the green lotus shone with joy, as if a clear spring was dancing in the sun.
Her cheeks were slightly red, with a hint of girlish shyness and mischievousness, and she walked lightly like a dancing butterfly, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze.
She smiled mischievously, her green eyes glinting with a playful light, as if to declare her heart.
There is a tenderness and sweetness in her voice, which makes people can't help but be moved.
"I like you, I just can't help but want to hold your hand."
Her words were as gentle as a spring breeze, full of sweetness and sincerity, and she gently stretched out her jade-like hand, her eyes full of anticipation and shyness.
Her heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with his, and her breath seemed to be intertwined with his, and he could feel it
I felt her palms sweat slightly.
Faced with the straightforwardness of the green lotus, Meng Haowen was a little flustered for a while, and his eyes began to flicker, as if he was looking for a possibility to escape.
He wanted to get away from this awkward situation, but he was too deep in it to escape, his heart was racing, his heart was in turmoil, and he felt like he was being forced into a corner from which he could not escape.
His gaze wandered around, trying to find a direction, but Green Lotus's eyes were always fixed on him, leaving him with nowhere to run.
He felt his face start to heat and wanted to say something, but found that his tongue seemed to be locked and he couldn't speak.
His body trembled slightly, trying to escape from this embarrassing situation, but his feet felt like they were pinned, unable to move, and he knew that he could not escape any longer, he had to face it all.
"Why don't you speak? Was it a surprise? No, don't you know I like you?"
The directness of the green lotus made Meng Haowen flutter again, and then his thoughts were a little wandering.
"I know."
He didn't understand why he said such a thing, but to say that he didn't feel anything at all was false.
In the previous time, when I saw the clothes that Green Lotus made for herself, my heart was warm at that moment, but no matter what, if she might betray the general, then, no matter who the other party was, it would definitely not be tolerated.
Meng Haowen glanced at Lu He deeply, and his eyes were full of deep thoughts and indescribable emotions.
His hand was gently stretched out, and he gently but resolutely took away the hand that Green Lotus was holding him.
This action made a complex emotion welling up in Green Lotus's heart, which was a deep loss, but with a hint of understanding and gratitude.
The moment he took his hand, Meng Haowen turned around and walked into the distance, his figure looked particularly lonely and resolute, his steps were firm, without a trace of hesitation.
Green Lotus looked at his departing back, his heart full of confusion and helplessness.
The invisible barrier between her and Meng Haowen is like an invisible wall, cutting off the communication and emotional connection between them.
She looked at Meng Haowen, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.
She took a deep breath and silently told herself in her heart: It's okay, there is no way to do this.
Lu He watched Meng Haowen's body completely disappear from his field of vision, and then slowly walked forward.
After she returned to the General's Mansion, she was anxious to find Xia Yang.
She walked through the corridors and around the courtyards, her heart racing, and finally, she saw Xia Yang in a gazebo in the back garden.
He sat there alone, with his back to the green lotus.
Green Lotus slowly approached, her footsteps echoing through the silent garden, she gently patted Xia Yang's shoulder, and he turned his head in surprise.
"Why did you come here, didn't you say don't you want to meet in the General's Mansion? It's not good to be discovered."
Green Lotus glanced at him and sat down across from him eagerly, "Xia Yang, I'm a little nervous."
As soon as her words came out, Xia Yang didn't seem surprised, picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip gently, and then said indifferently, "What's wrong, so nervous."
"I want to confess something to you, I ......."
Before Lu He's words were finished, Xia Yang said nonchalantly, "What, really like it?"
"How do you know?"
Lu He did not deny her feelings for Meng Haowen, but her eyes revealed a trace of indescribable sadness.
That sadness, like the clouds in the evening, dim and silent, wrapped in unspoken emotions, her eyes, which were a closed window, hid too many secrets and emotions, but could not find a suitable exit.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she was trying to suppress her emotions, which was a painful struggle and helpless acceptance.
"Does this need to be seriously scrutinized?
? I've seen the clothes you made for him, why, could it be that it was intended for me?"
Green Lotus gave him a blank look, then stood up and couldn't help asking, "It's okay if you know, but you can rest assured that I will definitely not affect the overall situation because of my own affairs."
Xia Yang also stood up, and then said, "It's good if you understand, I don't care about other things, just understand it in your own heart."
Green Lotus told herself that she only needed to leave some memories with Meng Haowen.
Others, she told herself, were as usual.
She didn't know that he had already seen the dress she made for Meng Haowen.
Back in the room, she carefully examined the dress, a slight smile on her lips.
"I don't know if he'll like it when he sees this, no, I don't know if he'll accept this dress."
She was thinking about these things, but what she didn't know was that Meng Haowen was already in Luo Jinyu's study at the moment.
"General, I went out with Midori Lotus today, but I didn't find anything, she didn't meet anyone and didn't do anything.
However, when she got back to the house, I noticed that she had immediately gone to find the Overseers, but I didn't know what they were talking about."
Luo Jinyu nodded lightly, "Well, okay, I see."
He looked at Meng Haowen's expression, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
Meng Haowen's eyes revealed an indescribable depth, and the calmness and chic of his usual days no longer existed.
This subtle change made Luo Jinyu feel a little uneasy, and he vaguely felt that Meng Haowen must have something unsaid.
Luo Jinyu's intuition quietly grew in his heart, and he began to carefully observe Meng Haowen's words and deeds.
Meng Haowen's shoulders tightened slightly, his eyes flickered, as if he was deliberately hiding something, and his tone became stiff, as if he was perfunctory. These details made Luo Jinyu more sure that Meng Haowen must have something to hide.
His hand was clenched into a fist against his jaw, and a mixed emotion welled up in his heart.
Luo Jinyu took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.
He knew that he couldn't force Meng Haowen now, that would only make him more hesitant.
