Chapter 55: See each other again in the depths of Qu Lang
"It's a small passover."
Nalan let go of his hand, leaving Xi Beichen's hands in one place, a little embarrassed.
"Ah, no, I haven't thanked Childe yet."
"You and I can be regarded as best friends, so why thank you for saying the word, Miss Lan'er is still polite."
"That being said, I need to thank you, we met here again today, why don't you go upstairs and sit and talk?" Nalan invited, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, afraid that he would reject him.
"Miss Lan'er, please." Xi Beichen bent down, gave way to the place, and let Nalan take the first step.
Nalan moved forward with a smile, Xi Beichen then followed behind, silently looking at Nalan's back, the peony flowers embroidered with dark colors on his body looked particularly delicate, just like the current Nalan, like a budding peony flower, that smile revealed an indescribable beauty, which hit Xi Beichen's heart.
"Two cups of high-quality Longjing tea." Nalan grabbed Xiao Er and commanded.
"Yes, second shopkeeper."
"Why did you drink Longjing too?"
Nalan entered the room again, and Xi Beichen, who was sitting by the window, asked.
"Of course, that's because I don't have much of a passion for tea, but I just drink it casually."
"I'm still a girl, you drink it to follow my taste, it seems that I think too much."
Nalan didn't answer, but the roots of her ears were a little red, and I am afraid that only she knew whether she was following him or not.
"Every time I can see my son, it's in this Fumanlou, could it be that my son plans to live here all year round?" Nalan quipped, and then sat down, habitually glancing at the window, which was closed due to the cold weather.
"I smiled, but it just so happened that every time I had something, I would discuss it here, so every time the girl saw me, she was in this Fumanlou."
"I see, I still don't know what Childe does?"
If you ask out, you can't take it back, in this case, Nalan has also asked in the past, but he was all laughed at by Xi Beichen, and he didn't ask much, and he didn't want to check, what he wanted was just willingly.
"Shu Lan'er is ignorant, and she will always break the rules."
"When the time comes, Miss Lan'er will naturally know, just like I accidentally knew that Miss Lan'er is the niece of Ma Qi, a university scholar in the current dynasty, I don't know if what I said below is true, Gege?"
A sentence of Gege pulled Nalan's originally excited heart to the bottom, and the emotions that surged up for a while made her a little uncomfortable, she didn't know what the meaning of Xi Beichen said this sentence, and the Gege of the last sentence really made her a little uncomfortable.
"Why do you call me Gege?" After all, I still asked.
"The best Longjing tea is here, this is the tea before the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as the best grade, the two masters, please taste the tea."
Xi Beichen wanted to answer, but was broken by a voice, so he had to close his mouth.
"Let's go down."
"Hey, okay."
"The ancients said, sweet and fragrant like orchid, secluded but not sluggish, sipping indifferent, seemingly tasteless, and after drinking, the feeling of too harmonious gas permeates the teeth and foreheads, this tasteless taste, and even taste. This is the word praise Longjing, you can taste it. Xi Beichen brought Longjing to Nalan, and Nalan didn't want to accept it, but his face was still a little hesitant.
"Calling you Gege, it's just me reminding myself, Miss Lan'er doesn't need to be sensitive to this word, if it destroys the taste of this high-grade Longjing, wouldn't it be a blessing."
"Why is it a reminder to you?" Nalan was even more puzzled, and took the Longjing in Xi Beichen's hand, the temperature of the tea was a little warmer through the palm of his hand.
"You are the daughter of an official family, and getting along with someone like me for a long time will affect your reputation."
From Xi Beichen's words, it is not difficult to hear the disparagement of himself by these words.
"This is why, in Lan'er's eyes, Childe is like this dragon well, it has not been fermented, and it is even the most primitive, as you just said, this tasteless taste, and even taste, Childe belittles himself like this, Lan'er doesn't like to listen to it."
Nalan drank the tea in the cup, although the tea was fragrant, but it was not intended to taste, but it was a little sweet.
"I didn't expect that I was like this in the eyes of Miss Lan'er, I'm just afraid that Miss Lan'er overestimated me."
"Why, today, you always say things that don't make sense."
Nalan frowned, she felt that something was wrong with Xi Beichen facing her today, if it was in the past, the two would only talk about some musical instruments, four books and the like, why did they always revolve around her identity today.
Xi Beichen took a deep look at Nalan, saw Nalan's frowning brows, and wanted to smooth it out, but what could he do now, the cup in his hand rotated back and forth.
"I just heard that you will enter the palace draft at the beginning of spring next year.." After the words, Xi Beichen wanted to speak and stopped, and the water in the cup spilled out, the water was warm, but he felt an unprecedented pain.
"So you really know everything." I can't help but feel a little bitter, I only know one of his names for him, and I don't know anything about the rest, and I think about it all day and night, Nalan can't help but feel a little ironic.
"It's just that I overheard it, and you know that people always like to discuss things that don't matter after dinner." Xi Beichen also felt a little apologetic, but his own life experience, he couldn't even speak, and how dare he say it to Nalan.
"Well, it's just a life experience, why bother with it, if you really care, how can these be attached to this empty name."
"Lan'er." Xi Beichen slowly spit out two words, and also spit out his thoughts.
"If you call me like this, aren't you afraid of ruining my reputation?" Nalan asked rhetorically with an expressionless face.
"I've always wanted to call you like this, but I'm a little scared." Saying that, Xi Beichen stood up, his hands behind his back, and his face was a little stiff.
"Panic? What Childe said really surprised Lan'er. Nalan took a cold breath, at this moment, she didn't know what his heart thought of her.
"Lan'er, do you know that sometimes, what you want is not so easy to get?" Xi Beichen walked to Nalan's side, squatted down, and lowered his body to her.
"You already know my heart?" Nalan couldn't help but look at Xi Beichen in surprise, wanting to see through those eyes, but he had nothing else but to see helplessness.
"I don't know." I don't know your heart, and I don't know my own heart, but often reality clings to me, but I can't get rid of it.
"Turns out, I've always been a joke?" Nalan didn't look over, he didn't want to look at that face anymore, the more he looked at it, the more heartache he felt, the hand holding the cup, the phalanges were white because of the exertion.
