"Yawn!"

Char sneezed lightly.

He was sitting in the open porch at the doorway, drinking the new wine of the season with Alicia.

There is a little more platform at the door, with pillars, which can sit or put people. This kind of spatial structure is called the lateral edge in Japan, but this kind of structure is not only found in Japan, but also in South Korea, and of course there are similar structures in China. The structure is similar, but the name may be different. However, the people of Shenzhou do not like to sit cross-legged at the door, and the architectural style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period will be more similar.

Of course, for Char, he doesn't care about this, after all, his entire villa is Western-style, which is a hodgepodge of various styles.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the soft moonlight swayed down.

The glow-in-the-dark plants planted in the garden also shine with a soft and bright glow.

Sitting here, looking at their well-tended courtyard, watching the stream carrying orange and yellow fallen leaves flowing, and the falling branches and leaves swaying with the wind, there is a sense of comfort that the years are quiet.

"Looks like a lot of people are thinking about you." Alicia teased.

Char shrugged.

"Sissi will be moving into the house soon, is it now our last space for two?" Alicia said.

Char smiled, "The child is already an adult, and no one wants to live with their parents all the time. ”

Alicia nodded, and she quietly looked at the flowing stream, "That's right. When I was at the palace, I often longed to be able to leave there, to be free from the shackles of fate, family, and glory, and to become a truly free person.

But when you leave for a long time, sometimes you miss the life there.

Man, always such a complex creature. ”

"No matter how bad the memories are, it's still your home, isn't it?" Char said.

After a pause, he said, "The day after tomorrow, it's your birthday, how about we have a big show?" Call Isabel and them all. ”

"It's been hundreds of birthdays, and it's not like nothing has been a big deal." Alicia sighed.

"This time it's different, this time there's Sissi, isn't it?" Char said.

Alicia thought for a moment, "That's right. ”

"The temperature is really comfortable today." Char stretched lazily.

Not cold or hot, not dry and not particularly wet, this natural comfort is something that magic can't bring.

And it's a pleasure to have a little drink in such an environment.

When he drank to his heart's content, Char seemed to think of something, "Speaking of which, I recently bought a guqin from Beichen, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Without waiting for Alicia to answer, he got up and walked into the room, took out a guqin from it, and placed it on his lap.

"You wait for me, too." Alicia laughed.

Then she went into her room, and when she came out again, she changed her clothes.

Dressed in a plain white and elegant long skirt, the side of the black hair is draped like a waterfall, and the face is plain and elegant, and he smiles indifferently. The colorful fan is elegant, like a fairy, like an elf coming from a dream.

"Jingle Bell~"

With a crisp bell ringing, a faint fragrance came to his face, and the light veil gently caressed Char's cheek.

She landed barefoot in the courtyard, and Char noticed that she had a red rope with a bell hanging from her ankle, which she had given her.

When she stepped barefoot on the lawn, the lawn didn't even bend much, like a fairy without weight.

Under the mist, her face was slightly red, and her eyes had a bit of seductive charm that seemed to be drunk but not drunk, but this feeling was covered by that cold temperament, charming but not demonic, glamorous but not vulgar.

Char reacted quickly, he smiled softly, gently plucked the strings, calmly and elegantly, and a fresh note came out with his fingertips.

Char's piano doesn't sound as elegant as the mountains and rivers.

But it lingers and sorrows, or the spring water tinkles, or it is like a horse rattling. The sound of the piano was like the gurgling water under the bridge, the few soft cries of Gu Hongfei as he passed, and the graceful sigh of Yi An; It is like looking at Xue Tao's raccoon flower note, looking at a faint orchid, quietly opening in the distant night sky, and just like the color of the lilac tree.

contains all things in the world, but pours a lot of tenderness.

"Jingle Bell~"

The wind chimes rang crisply, the quiet moonlight poured down, and with the hazy light and shadow, Alicia slowly began to dance to this rhythm, and the frequency of the bell began to increase, forming a harmony with Char's piano sound, which was very pleasant.

A round of spring moon in the sky opens the palace mirror, the woman under the moon sometimes raises her wrist and lowers her eyebrows, sometimes lightly Shuyun hand, the fan in her hand is closed and held, like a pen walking dragon painting Danqing, jade sleeves are windy, elegant and vigorous. The sound of music is clear in the ears, the folding fan in the hand is like a wonderful pen like a silk string, turning, throwing, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, bending, flowing water like a dragon flying like a phoenix dancing.

With her movements, the night breeze blew on her cheeks, and the ginkgo biloba and pear blossoms that fell around her came from all directions, with bright flowers, and they surrounded her, flying and circling.

Under the light and shadow of the sky, the woman's jade-like hands gracefully lingered, and her skirt danced like a lake.

The drooping hair is clear, and the reflection in the eyes like the bright moon is like watery tenderness, like a flower in the mist, hazy and ethereal, unreachable, and like a trickle, refreshing people's hearts and lungs, quietly smoothing the scars in the heart.

Char's eyes even had a momentary loss of mind. The clothes that Alicia wore were similar to those of the Divine Style, without revealing large areas of skin like those Latin dresses. On the contrary, Alicia wears clothes that are tighter than most dance dresses, and the most exposed is probably the ankles.

But even so, her smile, the charm and beauty of her gestures are far better than those dances with a lot of bare skin.

At this moment, Char understood Meng Yi's mood when he watched Princess Yushu dance in the sun on the top of the mountain.

When exactly he stopped playing the piano, Char has forgotten.

He just remembered that Alicia had stopped dancing to the sound of her piano and smiled at him. Her soul was mixed with light, like frost and snow and spirits, cold and charming.

Char couldn't help but smile.

As Alicia said, humans are always very complex creatures, and when you have a short life, you want to live longer.

But when you have an incomparably long life, as time goes by, you will have a sense of fear, a fear of the eternal unknown.

However, Char felt that as long as the beautiful scenery in front of him was always there, even if the years were ordinary, he would not feel bored.

Maybe interstellar travel can be put on the agenda, they have a lot of time, and they can take the family to see the wider world.

Of course, before that, he has to solve some more troublesome things (end of this chapter)
