Chapter 23: The Peach Blossom Covenant

Twenty miles west of the city, peach blossom forest.

April is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom and gradually falling.

This is a large peach blossom forest, thousands of peach trees, I don't know who planted it, the peach blossom forest can have such a grand scene, it takes at least a hundred years.

Xia Xi walked alone in the middle of the peach blossom forest, scattered peach petals spread all over the ground, this path paved with peach petals, has been spreading to the depths of the peach blossom forest, and the petals fluttering with the wind.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xia Xi stood there, her beautiful eyes were like water, and she was a little stupid.

"Three thousand peach blossoms follow my heart, and I will live up to my life and life. ”

Xia Xi said softly, she is not a tree planter, but at this moment she seems to be able to understand that person's state of mind.

is obviously lovesick, but it still lives up to its infatuation.

A black figure suddenly appeared on Xia Xi's side.

"It's obvious that I met him first, why ...... ”

The fluttering petals fell all over her green silk, and her shoulders and sleeves were all glued with petals.

She has bright eyes and bright teeth, her skin is like congealed fat, and she stands there like a fairy, but at this moment she is so sad.

The black robe covered his figure and face, and he looked at Xia Xi standing there alone, with such heartache in his eyes as bright as stars.

"Nope.... The figure under the robe was trembling, hesitated for a long time, and just as he was about to speak, his body was shocked, and he turned into a phantom and disappeared.

Xia Xi's eyes moved with the falling flowers, and the petals were like memories, which made her deeply trapped.

Just when Xia Xi lost her mind, the petals around her became dense, gradually blocking her vision.

"Brother Qin Ke. Xia Xi looked at the petals that surrounded her, and she couldn't tell the direction, but she didn't have the slightest worry, but became extremely happy, shouting loudly to the surroundings.

This is the place where they first met, and this rain of flowers is a game that only the two of them know.

That year, Qin Ke was five years old, and Qin Qingtian took him down from the sky, and the journey all the way was very tiring for the young Qin Ke.

Originally, Qin Qingtian just planned to rest in this peach blossom forest for a while, and then take him into the city, but when he saw Qin Ke in the peach blossom forest, he suddenly came to his senses, and ran into the peach blossom forest by himself.

It was that day that Qin Ke met Xia Xi in the peach blossom forest, and it was also that day that the five-year-old Qin Ke shook the peach tree vigorously in order to please Xia Xi, and the petals fell like rain, Xia Xi smiled very happily at that time.

That's 10 years.

In the Nebula Empire, Xia Xi was Qin Ke's first friend, and this peach blossom forest was their common secret.

"Didn't you say okay, you want to wait for me to come along? ”

When those petals fell to the ground, Qin Ke's figure had already appeared in front of Xia Xi.

"Without me, who will shake the rain for you. ”

Qin Ke's face was a little pale, but he still kept smiling, and after Lian'er sent him home, he specially applied medicine and changed his clothes.

"Your injuries. ”

Feeling Xia Xi's worried gaze, Qin Ke shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

The peach blossoms were still falling, and the next moment, Xia Xi threw herself into Qin Ke's arms, Qin Ke's figure was not too tall, and she couldn't cover the peach petals in the sky for her.

It's just that the touching and gentleness of this moment belongs to her, and it has always belonged to her.

"Why be so nice to me. ”

Xia Xi's actions made Qin Ke stunned, he didn't understand what happened to Xia Xi, for ten years, he and Xia Xi would come here every April.

It's not for commemoration, it's not for nostalgia, it's just for wanting to be here.

Qin Ke touched Xia Xi's head, the peach blossom forest had a strong aroma, but he could clearly smell Xia Xi's fragrance.

It was an indescribable aroma, a charming, refreshing, and nostalgic aroma.

"Do you really want me to tell me the reason?" Qin Ke raised his head and looked at the petals in the sky as if he was asking Xia Xi and himself.

Xia Xi gently left Qin Ke's embrace, although it was a short distance away, she could no longer smell her fragrance.

"I want you to shake the peach blossom rain for me again. ”

Qin Ke has never refused Xia Xi's request, not to mention, he is here for this.

Walking slowly on the path paved with peach petals, Xia Xi stepped on the petals of the ground and walked to the depths of the peach blossom forest, and the petals in the sky fell one after another as she walked.

It's a very childish game, and it's only once a year.

Xia Xi smiled happily and cherished it.

In the center of the peach blossom forest, there is a stone table and two stone benches.

When Xia Xi walked here, the rain of flowers in the sky still did not stop, and Xia Xi just sat down straight, ignoring the layer of petals on the board.

As soon as Xia Xi sat down, Qin Ke sat opposite her without hesitation.

Scattered petals covered the stone table, and when she reached into her arms, she took it out again, and when she took it out, she had a small wine bottle in her hand.

Xia Xi smiled at Qin Ke and said, "I heard that Grandpa Qin's peach blossom brew is delicious, so I also tried to make some." ”

Tasting wine in the peach blossom forest, tasting is still peach blossom brewing, Qin Ke really doesn't know how Xia Xi came up with it.

But it's a poetic proposition.

took the first sip, and after just one sip, a layer of blush floated on Xia Xi's fair cheeks.

Then she handed the wine bottle to Qin Ke.

The bottle is small and there isn't much in it.

As soon as Qin Ke raised his head, he drank all the remaining peach blossom brew.

frowned slightly, and didn't let Xia Xi see it.

Xia Xi's peach blossom wine was very astringent, even bitter, not very delicious, just looking at Xia Xi's delicate and expectant appearance after drinking, Qin Ke swallowed all the questions in his stomach.

"It was delicious, just a little less. Qin Ke shook the wine bottle and said unsatisfied.

"Would you like to drink it? I'm going to bring you more next year. ”

After speaking, Xia Xi got up and turned happily in the peach blossom forest.

......

......

"Princess, Lian'er knows that she is wrong. ”

Lian'er knelt there, and her whole body fell to the ground.

Xia Youyi fiddled with these various medicinal powders in her hands, she would never be injured, she naturally wouldn't use these things, and if she could prepare so carefully, these things would naturally be used by Qin Ke.

For Lian'er kneeling there, Xia Youyi didn't seem to see it.

Lian'er is a personal maid by her side since she was a child, and she has never gone against her will, and it is precisely because of this that Xia Youyi is relieved to let her do something.

This time, however, she was angry.

She didn't say that she wanted to send Qin Ke home, but Lian'er did.

On the night of the Qingling Banquet, when Qin Ke was the saddest, she didn't let Lian'er send him home, and now how could she force Qin Ke to take her car.

Is he stupid?

Xia Youyi was very angry, she was angry with Qin Ke and even more angry with Lian'er.

Because, Lian'er is doing things in her name.

"What he's going to do, that's his thing, as long as he likes it. Xia Youyi said to Lian'er very seriously.

Lian'er didn't dare to raise her head, let alone speak.

"Look up. Xia Youyi said.

Lian'er raised her head tremblingly, Xia Youyi looked at her, and her watery eyes reflected her figure.

"Xia Xi is my sister. Xia Youyi said firmly.

She was very disappointed in Lian'er, her face showed a trace of exhaustion, more like giving up, and said, "Who told you to do it." ”

Xia Youyi saw that Lian'er's body became trembling, and she already had the answer in her heart, but she wanted to hear Lian'er say it herself.

Even if she betrayed herself, although she was angry, Xia Youyi still wanted to give her a chance.

Looking at Lian'er, who was still trembling there, Xia Youyi sighed slightly in her heart, got up and walked past her.

After taking two steps, her body suddenly stopped there, and she didn't look back, but asked again, "Who is it?"
