Chapter 16: Spend the Night Together
Zhixue put down the pastry she had bitten into, and immediately stood up and bowed, "Childe!"
"I don't seem to have learned this etiquette and rules!" Purple Shadow came out of the darkness and stood in front of Zhixue, gently shaking the folding fan, and looking down at her with a hint of playfulness in her dark brown eyes.
Only then did Zhi Xue remember that she should kneel, "My subordinates know their mistakes." But the raised face didn't seem to know what was wrong. She hates this kind of kneeling etiquette at every turn, and subconsciously thinks that this unfair etiquette is really unconvincing.
Ziying looked at Zhixue's face even more pale under the moonlight, "Who asked you to come here?" The cold wind on the autumn night is like a knife, and her body can withstand the wind chill on the top of the ship now?
Hearing Purple Shadow's question, Zhixue felt as if she had made another mistake. Didn't she break into his private place?" Zhixue got up and planned to leave, if she knew that he was also here, she would never stay here. This man, who is more feminine than a woman, she has no good feelings for him.
"Stop. Ziying sat down, put away the folding fan in his hand, gently tapped the handle of the fan on the table, pointed to a plate of pastries on the table and said, "Eat half and leave half left, so wasteful? The food on the ship is limited, do you really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are so wasteful?"
Zhixue turned around, and saw that this playboy looked high, and suddenly became a nameless fire. She simply sat across from him and ate and drank in peace. "Then thank you for the reward!" The tone of this thank you was also very stiff.
After a while, seeing that Ziying did not respond, she raised her eyes and saw that Ziying was looking at her.
His eyes are very beautiful and expressive, saying that they look tacky like the stars in the sky, and being stared at by him like this, Zhixue inexplicably feels that his heartbeat is accelerating. She quickly turned her face away and casually found a topic to relieve the embarrassment. "I see the Fire Dancing Girl with me all the time, why don't I see her at this moment?"
Ziying looked up at the moon and whispered with thin lips: "The moon is full today." ”
Zhixue was stunned for a moment and looked at the bright moon in the sky. This confused day by day, because of amnesia, I didn't think about the years. "What does the full moon have to do with the Fire Dancing Girl?"
Ziying looked at the fishing fire in the distance, poured herself a glass of wine, couldn't hear any emotion in her tone, and said faintly, "She is a charm." ”
"What is Mei?" asked Zhixue.
"Charming ......"
Mei, a monster bred by heaven and earth, has a sensitive nature and strong ability, if it weren't for the lack of emotion, I'm afraid it would have ruled the world long ago. They are invincible by nature and have no heart, so it is not easy to kill the charm. But no matter how powerful it is, there will be flaws, no. Every full moon night, it will enter an unconscious dormant state, similar to animal hibernation. Otherwise, they will be weakened by the evil aura of the full moon and will be slaughtered.
Purple Shadow looked at Zhi Xue's puzzled expression, "Why do you ask so much, the more you know, the more dangerous it is." ”
In the face of Zhixue's clean eyes, he said it naturally, he was a little suspicious of himself like this, for fear that he would say something more, so he raised his wine glass and drank it all.
Zhixue suddenly remembered that the feeling of fire dance always gave her was very unnatural, such as her empty eyes seemed to know everything, such as her gestures and actions were silent, and for example, she didn't even have a shadow.
"Fire Dance She ......" wanted to ask something, but she was afraid that it would be inappropriate, looking at Ziying's cold eyes, she still obediently shut up, lest she say something that would make him angry. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip. Although this bamboo leaf fragrance is a white wine, it is not as spicy as imagined, and there is a trace of sweetness after entering the throat. She took the flask in front of Purple Shadow and poured another glass, drinking it all in one gulp.
Purple Shadow looked at her, her eyebrows raised in surprise. "You ......" Before he could stop it, the person in front of him had already drunk two cups in a row. This wine has a lot of stamina...... His brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
After two glasses of wine, Zhixue was already in a trance. "I'm so dizzy, I... I'm going back to rest. We will not accompany you... Farewell!" she staggered to the stairs, looking like she could fall at any moment, "I'll send you back." Purple Shadow stood up and walked behind her and spoke.
"No, I don't. Zhixue leaned against the door frame with her eyes half-closed. "Ah Qu said that women should stay away from men when they are drunk, otherwise they will suffer......" Before the words fell, her clear eyes were full of confusion and closed slightly. The flushed cheeks showed her rare shyness.
"At your point, you still want to suffer, I really don't know what you have in your head. Seeing her slowly fall back, Purple Shadow tried to grab her sleeve, but inadvertently grabbed her hand because she often rolled up her sleeve. Xu was drunk because of the wine, her palms were hot, Ziying held her hand, stunned, the hot temperature made him feel very comfortable. When he came back to his senses, he immediately let go, but fortunately a blanket was laid on the ground, but the weaving snow still hurt. "Ahh
Purple Shadow crouched down and heard her whisper.
“...... It hurts... It's so cold...", the whole person shivered and curled up.
Purple Shadow looked at her beautiful face, hesitated for a moment, and untied the cloak on her body to cover her. The back of his hand casually slid over her face, and the warm sensation made his heart flutter. He sat down slowly, meditating with his eyes closed. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the position he sat in just blocked the cool breeze for her.
I don't know what dreams Zhixue had, but when she woke up, she was full of energy. She found herself still in the gazebo on the top of the boat, covered with Childe's cloak. Only then did I slowly recall that I was drunk last night, and it seems that I still talked a lot, and I don't know if I lost my temper. Then she couldn't remember anything about what happened, a lonely man and a widow, seeing that the cloak was still there, and the clothes were neat, he was not a villain.
The guards who were supposed to stand guard didn't see anyone, she slowly walked out of the pavilion, moved her muscles and bones, and there was a warm current running back and forth in her chest, and the pain caused by the bone shaping water disappeared. She was overjoyed, could it be because she had drunk wine last night? In the distance, there were bursts of white birds' calls, and when she looked around, she saw overlapping mountains, and dense pavilions under the mountains, surrounded by clear water, and smoke and clouds, is this a fairyland on earth? It is simply so beautiful!
