In the simple afternoon, the maids prepared some pastries in the pavilion.

Xie Tunan originally left after dinner, but was kept by his cousin, who probably guessed what his cousin's mind was.

He thought it hard and decided to make his heart clear.

The little maid brought the guqin and put it in the pavilion, and Sakura helped her young lady to sit down in front of the piano.

Shen Mange and Lime both like to listen to Le Baiwei play the piano, not only to play well, but also to admire Weiwei for being able to play a good piano.

The warm afternoon, accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano, makes the courtyard more warm.

A few people were enjoying the beautiful sound of the piano, when they suddenly heard the sound of the strings breaking, and several people were stunned.

"Xiaowei!"

"Vivi!"

The three of them hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.

Le Baiwei smiled faintly: "I'm fine, maybe the strings are too old, so they are broken." ”

Xie Tunan carefully checked his cousin's hands, and was completely relieved to see that he was not injured, he went to help Xiaowei get up, "I'll let people go down and change all the strings in a while, in case there will be an accident next time." ”

"Cousin, I'm fine, don't worry about me." She was helped by her cousin to sit down at the stone table, "I'm sorry, I'm stupid, and I've ruined everyone's fun." ”

"Weiwei, it's okay, it's just entertainment." Shen Mange said.

"Ah, Xiaoge, it just so happens that there are new strings in my room, can you go with me to get them?" Le Baiwei suddenly proposed.

Shen Mange didn't know Weiwei's thoughts, she hurriedly smiled and responded: "Okay, okay, I just want to see the narcissus in your room, let's go." ”

"Cousin, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll go get the strings." She said to Xie Tunan's position.

"Okay, you pay attention."

Lime was secretly happy in her heart, this was to give her and the general time alone.

"Vivi, I'll go with you." She said this, but she didn't mean to move her steps at all.

"Xiao Ning, Xiao Ge and I will be back soon, you can accompany my cousin for me." Le Baiwei had already thought of the words, and the pace with Shen Mange had quickened a lot.

Seeing the two of them leave in a hurry, there were only three people left in the pavilion at this time.

Sakura naturally bowed wisely: "General, young girl, the tea is cold, the slave will go and change the pot of hot tea, please wait a moment." ”

This time, only Xie Tunan and Lime were left in the pavilion.

The meaning of this could not be more obvious.

"Little Lemon, please be seated." Xie Tunan smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to invite the lime to take a seat.

"Thank you, Brother Nan." Lime couldn't help but blush, and whispered.

"Xiao Ning should be the same age as Xiao Wei."

Lime was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Hmm." ”

Xie Tunan said again: "It is the best age of the girl's family, Brother Nan asked curiously, Xiao Ning has the object of her own heart?" ”

Hearing this, Limeland's face turned even redder, and she nodded shyly.

I only heard Xie Tunan smile and said: "Brother Nan seems to have already led troops to fight at your age, in fact, I have indeed missed a lot of youth over the years, but when I think of being able to dedicate my blood to the court and the people of the world, I feel that everything is worth it, and now I am twenty-seven, speaking of men's age like me have already married families, and my children are probably almost ten years old, and I am still alone." ”

Lime thought, is General Mo going to start revealing his heart to himself? She suppressed the excitement in her heart and whispered, "Brother Nan, a good man like you, no matter what age you are, there will be many girls who want to marry you. ”

Xie Tunan laughed heartily twice and continued: "Actually, whether you have a family or not, Brother Nan really doesn't care now, because Brother Nan knows his mission and responsibilities, and I have not married a wife all these years, also because I don't want my wife to worry about me." ”

Lime was puzzled, and she asked, "Brother Nan, where did this come from?" ”

"As a general, I am often ordered to go on expeditions, and if I become a family, my wife will always worry about my safety, and she will wait for me in an empty room day after day, and every day I will have to spend tormented days without knowing whether my husband is alive or dead, this is certainly not the most cruel torture I have ever given her, and if I have a child, then this pain will have to be added to it, I don't want such a thing to happen, and I don't want to make myself such a cruel husband and father, That's why I don't want to start a family so far, Xiao Ning, can you understand me? ”

Lime lowered her head, she bit her lip tightly, her hands clenched tightly under the table, tears falling from her eyes.

The general used this method, not only clearly expressing his own intentions, but also skillfully not making her feel embarrassed after being rejected, which is undoubtedly not the most gentle way to refuse.

In fact, the general is right, no wife wants to live without her husband by her side every day, not to mention that the general has his own mission and responsibilities, his heart is always to pretend to be the dawn of the people of the world, and marrying a wife and having children is only a part of his life, compared with her lover, she can also understand how the general will make a choice.

It turns out that falling out of love is like this, but it's really painful, no, she's not out of love, it's just her own liking, but later I found out that this person is someone I can't like...

Lime struggled to resist the urge to cry, but her trembling shoulders and uncontrollable crying revealed her.

"Xiao Ning, I'm sorry, I believe that you will meet the lover who is really good to you, loves you, and is worthy of your life's trust in your best years."

Lime wiped the tears on her face, tried hard to adjust her emotions, and then slowly replied: "Brother Nan... Thank you..."

"Xiao Ning, you and Xiao Wei are my sisters, as long as I am alive for a day, I will protect you for a day."

Lime raised her head again, she looked at the general's gaze and smiled with relief, "Okay, Brother Nan has to talk about it." ”

Seeing the smile on Lime's face, the stone in Xie Tunan's heart finally fell, he was afraid that if he didn't handle this matter properly, it would affect a girl's heart, and it would also make Xiaowei lose two friends, and now, he can be relieved.

Shen Mange accompanied Le Baiwei to the room, and Le Baiwei's boudoir always had a comfortable fragrance.

Le Baiwei touched the decoration in the house, skillfully came to the container and opened a box from the shelves on the first floor, which contained new strings.

Shen Mange sat at the table very naturally, watching Wei Wei take out the strings by herself, close the box again, and then continue to come to the table and sit down easily by touching the things around her, Shen Mange smiled and poured her a glass of water.
