"You, you, you—"

Liang Ruying pointed at him incredulously and stuttered, "You, you, do you know that I am a daughter?"

Lu Lang nodded obediently, "Yes." ”

Her eyes widened in shock, "How did you see that?"

Speaking of this, the person in front of him suddenly became a little timid.

"I, I accidentally held your hand earlier. My mother said that the boy has great strength, and the palm is hard and rough, and only the little girl's hand is soft. And you ......"

His face became redder and redder the more he spoke.

"Oh-" Liang Ruying nodded, and pinched her little hand, which was really soft. She suddenly puffed out her little face fiercely, and said to Lu Lang, "Then you are not allowed to say it!"

"I know. Lu Lang said softly, but his eyes were very firm, "Don't worry, I won't tell others." In fact, I have long felt that private schools should not only allow men to enter, but also for girls. ”

"That's it!"

Liang Ruying wrinkled her nose and nodded desperately in agreement.

"Since you think so, then you should study harder. Lu Lang's tone became serious again, a little master who was alive, "It's a great blessing to be able to read and learn for a long time." If you mess around next time, I won't help you. ”

"Okay, okay. Liang Ruying sighed as if resigned, "I know." Then I will study hard from tomorrow. ”

"Well, the children can be taught. ”

"Huh, then you little nerd must use my healing medicine. Otherwise, when your mother sees that your hands are red, she will know that you have been reprimanded by your master. ”

"Hmm......" The voice of the person in front of him suddenly became smaller, a little jerky, "Actually, in fact, my mother has passed away......"

"Ahh ”

"What, what?"

Little Lu Lang never thought that this little girl who looked playful and smiling was even more pitiful than himself. He pursed his lips, and suddenly aroused the desire for protection in his heart.

"So we ......"

The little girl didn't know what she thought, and her eyes moistened all of a sudden. At this time, a young but clear voice sounded solemnly, "Then I'll protect you." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Lu Lang clenched his fists and said firmly: "It's better for me to be your fourth brother, so that I have a sister and you have one more relative." In the private school, I'll protect you, okay?"

Liang Ruying stared at him blankly for a long time.

"You, don't you want to?" he said, scratching his head, uncertain.

After a pause, the little girl sniffed and showed a bright smile.

"I do!"

......

As Qiye expected, the fate formed when he was ten years old landed, sprouted, took root, and blossomed.

Liang Ji's two older fierce brothers are busy managing the shop business on weekdays, and they have no time to take care of the younger brothers and sisters who are still young. Even the youngest sister in the family disguised herself as a man and went to a private school without knowing it, knowing that it would be many years later, when the wood was already in the boat.

A little private school, a ghostly little girl mixed in, a brother who worries about his sister's trouble all day but is obviously powerless, and a fake brother who has a sense of responsibility and vows to protect her. A pair of childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, spend childlike time together, laugh and play, study and grow up, until they fade away, until the little girl reaches the age of Jilu.

That year, Liang Ruying was fifteen years old and Lu Lang was sixteen years old. That year, the "brother and sister relationship" came to an end, and they really saw their hearts clearly.

......

"Lu Lang Lu Lang!"

A delicate figure ran in the small courtyard. Lu Lang turned around, and when his delicate face saw the visitor, he was stunned and became a little flushed.

"A-Ying, why are you ...... today?"

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Ruying dragged up the hem of her skirt and turned around, and asked him happily, "Is it good-looking?"

"Good looking. Lu Lang nodded dumbly.

"After today, I will officially meet the law, so I specially wore a skirt to your house. Faced with this reaction, she was quite satisfied, took out a pack of oiled paper from her arms and handed it to him, "Also, I made peanut cake for you to eat." ”

The oil paper bag was still hot when it was handed over to Lu Lang, and she couldn't wait to open it for him, and a tempting fragrance came to his nose.

"Is it delicious?" Liang Ruying lit up her eyes and said to Lu Lang, who was savoring it.

"Hmmm! Lu Lang finished eating the whole peanut cake and said very sincerely, "This is the best peanut cake I have ever tasted." ”

"Really, the pastry chef at home also said that my cooking was delicious. But-" Liang Ruying clapped her hands, her cheeks still turned red and fluttered as when she was a child, "I don't know why, I am even happier when I hear you say that it is delicious." ”

When Lu Lang heard this, his heart "thumped" heavily, and his hands stretched out nervously to the back.

"A-Ying, today you and Lu, I also have something to give you. ”

"Oh, what is it?" she looked curious, not noticing his anomaly.

Lu Lang lowered his eyelids, stretched out his hands from behind his back, and held two clay dolls with a cute smile, both dressed as little scholars, wearing gray robes.

"Wow! Liang Ruying took it and was very pleased, "This is a male doll, and this one seems to be a ...... A female doll dressed in a scholar's outfit. Lu Lang, did you make it yourself?"

"Well," he nodded, then added, "I'm pinching a pair of golden boys and girls." ”

"I see. She nodded, her gaze falling on the two clay dolls, "Eh, but how is this female doll a little similar to me...... And this male doll ......"

Liang Ruying turned her head to look at the person in front of her, suddenly understood, and blushed completely.

"Lu Lang, you-" She bit her lip, her tone was shy, and there was a hint of joy, "Are you pinching the two of us?"

"Hmm. ”

With a soft sound, Lu Lang raised his head and solemnly looked at the girl in front of him, determined not to run away anymore.

"A-Ying. ”

He suddenly called his name so seriously, Liang Ruying was a little overwhelmed.

"I like you. ”

With a "bang", my heart suddenly became hot. Liang Ruying wanted to run away in shame for a moment, but she didn't dare to move, for fear of missing something.

The man with pink cheeks in front of him said to her: "I have read a lot of poems to myself, and I found that a gentleman never dares to express his heart when expressing his love to his sweetheart, so he can only write those poems, causing the two of them to regret missing out because of all this." I'm a person, and I've been called a 'little nerd' since I was a child, and maybe I've become a little pedantic because I follow etiquette too much. But today, to you, I want to tell you what I think in my heart completely and clearly. ”

She looked at the person in front of her motionlessly, and her heart gradually calmed down, and she felt that the oncoming wind was also warm.

"I don't know when I thought about how nice it would be if I could always protect this 'fake sister'. It would be great if this 'false sister' could become my wife for the rest of my life. ”

Lu Lang's voice trembled slightly, his clenched fists loosened, and he finally made up his mind to hold her hand.

"A-Ying, I have admired you for a long time. Are you willing to be my future wife, so that I can always protect you and grow old with you?"

Just like the vow she made when she was a child, as firm as she was when she was a child, she lowered her eyes and hid some of the crystals in her sockets. Raising her head again, she reached back into her slender hand and watched as the expectant gaze of the person in front of her darkened.

"Brother Lu Lang, there is something missing on this pair of clay dolls. She said slightly mischievously.

"What's the disadvantage?" For a moment, Lu Lang didn't know how to answer, so he just asked stupidly along with her words.

Poof—

The girl laughed, raised the doll high to him, and said with a smile: "Since it is me and you who are pinching, then the female doll must be engraved with the words 'A-Ying' and the male doll engraved with the words 'Lu Lang', don't you say?"

"That's ...... Also. ”

When the words fell, Lu Lang suddenly reacted, holding his breath, his face was full of joy, "A-Ying, you, what do you mean, you promised me......"

"Brother Lu Lang, quickly take out your carving knife. The girl blushed and deliberately did not answer, and ran into the back room to look for something.

The handsome young man who was left behind him patted his head, annoyed that he had woken up so slowly.

"A-Ying, A-Ying, if you agree, you can't go back......"

......

It seems that after a hundred turns, this small courtyard has gradually become a little scattered now, and the teenagers in it have disappeared.

"It turns out that the two clay dolls came from this. ”

Qiye let out a sigh, lowered his head, and occasionally saw that the side face was full of tears.

"Sister A-Ying, you-" She was about to say something to comfort, but saw the woman gently wipe away her tears.

"I'm fine, it's all happy. Liang Ruying's tone was very calm, "Woman, you continue to cut." ”

Qiye nodded and silently picked up a strand of long hair.

For a long time, for a long time—

There was no sound of talking in the small courtyard, only the sound of scissors falling continuously.

Click-

......

At the last wisp, Qi Ye lowered his head and didn't put down the scissors for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Liang Ruying sensed and asked her softly.

"Sister A-Ying, how did Mr. Lu Lang die?" the voice finally couldn't help but ask.

The woman in front of her seemed to freeze, like a clay sculpture that never moved again. Qi Ye waited for a long time, dropped his eyelids, and sighed in his heart, and finally dropped the scissors.

When the last strand of long hair hit the ground, the voice sounded faintly.

"Like his mother, they all died of illness. ”

Qiye's hand holding the scissors trembled, only to feel that the scissors were so heavy that he couldn't hold them anymore.

......

......

Squeak –

The wooden door in the small courtyard was leaned open and paused, Qiye turned around, and saw that the person at the stone table had already stood up, his short hair neatly combed behind his ears, his face was as indifferent as the first time, and he only smiled softly with her and bowed.

Qi Ye knew what he meant, so he stretched out his hand and bowed in return, then turned his head and opened the wooden door with both hands.

Squeak –

She walked out and closed the wooden door and turned around, only to see a silent figure standing outside the door.

"Nameless, why are you standing here?" Qiye asked in shock, "Why don't you enter ......?"

She stopped suddenly, and saw a grim smile on the pale face of the man in the robe.

"I've been standing here for a long time. ”

Gradually, Qiye understood.

"You heard them all?"

The man paused, then nodded slightly.

Until the cyan figure is far away,

Until the sunset overhead returns, and the afterglow falls everywhere in Bianliang,

Until a sigh came from the wind,

Until—

The man in the robe remained in place, unmoved.
