When Zhou Mengli entered the yard, she thought that Shen Lansui and Lu Xingyue must be in the Nuan Pavilion, so she didn't make any preparations. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Shen Lansui and Lu Xingyue standing on the porch. She didn't know what they were saying, but Look at the gesture of intimacy.
Shen Lansui was wearing a silver-blue cloak and stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes from the corridor.
Different from the snow foam when I got off the carriage, the snowflakes now were like goose feathers, flying one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of plain white was spread on the ground.
It is obviously a very common scene, but Shen Lansui is so surprised and happy, her eyes are brighter than the stars in the sky, and when she smiles, it makes people feel that nothing in the world can disturb her, as long as she is around her, she is happy. susceptible to infection.
Zhou Mengli couldn't help but be entranced as she watched, and didn't move for a long time.
Guan Chun didn't rush her, he carefully looked at her expression, and planned to let her see more scenes of love between the madam and the young master. It would be best to make her realize that she can't get in and retreat when the difficulties arise.
"Lu Xingyue, it's snowing so heavily. Did you say that you can make a snowman in a while?" Shen Lansui was as excited as a child when she thought about making a snowman.
Lu Xingyue was helpless, "Aren't you afraid of the cold?"
"It's not cold. It's not as cold when it snows as it melts." Shen Lansui looked up at him with a smile, "Can it be piled up?"
Seeing her like this, Lu Xingyue couldn't say "no" at all.
He hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes in resignation, and looked into her eyes, "Yes, but I will do it."
"Ah? If you don't let me participate in such a fun thing, what's the point?" Shen Lansui's face suddenly fell.
what is this? I’ve heard of taking the place of teaching and playing games, but I’ve never heard of taking the place of building a snowman.
"But you are not in good health, and the doctor won't allow you to touch the cold." Lu Xingyue's voice was lower.
Shen Lansui was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was talking about, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Have you forgotten that I am a miracle doctor, and that time before... was an accident."
"Really?" Lu Xingyue looked at her suspiciously.
"Really!" Shen Lansui raised three fingers, "I swear!"
Lu Xingyue looked at her inquiringly for a while, then wrapped his hand in her raised hand and nodded, "I believe you once, but if you still have a stomachache next time, you won't be allowed to play in the snow in the future."
"Okay, okay." Shen Lansui agreed.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that Zhou Mengli seemed to be about to turn around and leave, and suddenly said, "Cousin is here?"
Zhou Mengli stood there awkwardly, bowing to them with a slightly red face, "Did I come at the wrong time?"
"No, you came just in time, we are getting ready to eat."
Shen Lansui shook Lu Xingyue's hand, which was holding hers. Lu Xingyue lowered his eyes and glanced down, but did not let go. Instead, he changed into a posture of clasping his fingers and walked out from behind the railing.
Zhou Mengli looked at the two people's clasped hands, feeling very complicated, and the blush on her face faded a little.
The ground dragon was burning in the Nuan Pavilion, and it was as hot as spring. As soon as we entered, everyone took off their cloaks.
The three of them sat at the table, and Guan Chun and Xia Xia immediately put the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Shen Lansui served everyone a bowl of soup and said with a smile: "First drink the hot soup to relieve your stomach."
"Thank you, cousin." Zhou Mengli raised her hand to take it and drank it in small sips with complicated emotions.
They were silent during eating and sleeping, and no one talked during the meal. Zhou Mengli felt uncomfortable, but Lu Xingyue and Shen Lan were more natural.
The two of them would pick up food for each other, and it goes without saying that they knew what the other wanted to eat and what they liked to eat. Occasionally, when they looked at each other, she, an outsider, could feel the affection.
She didn't know how to eat, and now she didn't even want to eat.
Seeing that the meal was almost done, Shen Lansui stood up and said: "The cloak I prepared for my cousin is ready and half-scented in the room. I will finish it and will be back in a while. Cousin, please sit down for a while. "
"Ah? Ah, okay." Zhou Mengli nodded, watching Shen Lansui leave, and then looking at Lu Xingyue who was sitting opposite and slowly drinking soup, she couldn't help but feel a little ripple in her heart.
It was a rare opportunity for them to be alone like this.
The eldest lady also said that they should have more contact, maybe that would be okay?
And he is really gentle in private...
Zhou Mengli mustered up the courage and looked directly at Lu Xingyue, "Third cousin, didn't you go to Beizhen Fusi today? Why are you back so early?"
Lu Xingyue swallowed the soup in his mouth, put down the bowl and wiped his lips with a handkerchief.
Even though he didn't speak or look at her, Zhou Mengli still felt an indescribable pressure.
She pursed her lips, unwilling to give up.
"Third cousin..."
"I know what you want to do."
Lu Xingyue suddenly spoke, which startled Zhou Mengli. Her heart suddenly tightened and she looked at him anxiously.
Lu Xingyue looked at her with no warmth in his eyes, let alone as gentle as those towards Shen Lansui.
"What did third cousin say?"
"There is no one else here, so you don't have to go around in circles with me." Lu Xingyue said calmly: "You also know that I work as an errand in Beizhen Fusi. What I am best at is torture and investigation."
Zhou Mengli's face turned pale instantly, and she remembered Lu Xingyue's bloody robe again, and her stomach couldn't help but churn.
Lu Xingyue watched as the color of her eyebrows turned from pink to white little by little, and continued: "You may not know it when you first come here, but the eldest lady and I are not on good terms. She had a concubine in my courtyard before, and I sent her away. Now she is unwilling to give up and wants to push you over. I don't know what you think, but I can tell you that I don't accept it. In this life, I will only have one wife for the age of Lan, and it will not change in the future. "
He stood up slowly and looked down at Zhou Mengli: "So you don't need to waste your time with me. Lan Sui treats you well. Don't be stubborn. You might as well think about what the eldest lady promised you. That's really true." Is it what you want?"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Mengli's reaction, he quickly walked out the door without any hesitation.
Zhou Mengli pursed her lips and couldn't say a word.
It turned out that her little thoughts that she thought were hidden had long been seen by others.
Did everyone know about it from the moment she walked in?
So what does she look like to them? A low-class person who only wants to be a concubine?
Zhou Mengli suddenly felt on pins and needles and stood up. Although she was wearing layer after layer, she felt that she was half-clothed now.
It was embarrassing, as if I was naked and being looked at.
"How could this happen...why should it be like this?"
Her vision suddenly became blurry and she couldn't see anything clearly.
She took just one step when she stumbled and threw herself forward.
At that moment, she forgot to react, and even thought that it was nothing if she fell, and it might feel better if it hurt.
However, the expected pain did not come. She was pulled by someone and ran into a warm and fragrant embrace.
She looked up in confusion, and Shen Lansui asked her warmly: "Why are you crying?" (End of Chapter)
