There is an independent small courtyard in the backyard of Xiahou's house outside Xudu City, where Xiahou Juan lives.
The night was already dark, and the candle shadow on the table was flickering, but Xia Houjuan still had no intention of falling asleep.
When Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun came back, they had already told her the news that Cao Zhang was going to lead his troops to fight.
Although Xia Houjuan missed Cao Zhang in his heart, he also knew that he was preparing to go on an expedition and must be busy with affairs. He did not dare to disturb him at this time and could only miss him alone.
She sat quietly in the middle of the room, with a recently completed painting in front of her. It was a portrait of Cao Zhang that she drew based on her own memory. In the portrait, Cao Zhang was handsome, handsome, and majestic.
Xia Houjuan looked at Cao Zhang quietly in the portrait. He was a little shy, but also missed him infinitely. Of course, more importantly, he felt the loss and helplessness in his heart that he was about to be separated from Cao Zhang.
Xia Houjuan stood up slowly, walked to the piano stand nearby, played the piano with both hands, and sang a sad song along with the melodious sound of the piano.
"You are like the bright moon and I am like the mist, and the mist is revealed in the sky with the moon. You are good at playing the piano and I am good at dancing. At the end of the song, people feel separated and blocked. I only feel that you look back, making me think about you in the morning and evening. Your soul will never leave with you. Regret, the endless lovesickness is painful for you. Who can complain about the pain of lovesickness? I don’t know where you are in the distance. I hold the door and think deeply about your instructions, and climb up to look across the road to the end of the world."
This song is a spiritual piece from the ancient Yuefu.
In the first four sentences, the woman compares herself to fog and her sweetheart to the bright moon in the sky. She laments that the time we spend together is too short, which makes her heart miserable every time we are separated.
The following four sentences reveal the source of the woman's pain of lovesickness: her sweetheart's inadvertent glance back sealed the fate of the two.
The last four sentences are the woman's expression of the pain of lovesickness, but her determination not to regret it in her life.
The lyrics of the whole song are simple and unpretentious, but they contain the woman's love and longing for her sweetheart.
At this time, Xia Houjuan's heart was full of longing for Cao Zhang, but he couldn't see each other, so he sang this song to express his lovesickness.
When the song ended, Xia Houjuan let out a sad sigh.
Unexpectedly, her sigh was still lingering in her ears, but clear chanting came from outside the house.
"Longing for lovesickness, longing for lovesickness. If you ask about the end of longing for lovesickness, it won't last until we meet. Longing for lovesickness, longing for lovesickness. Who do you want to describe as lovesickness? Lovers don't know."
Although the two poems are short, they are also full of deep lovesickness.
When Xia Houjuan heard the chanting, her eyes immediately radiated light, because she recognized that the person reciting the poem was Cao Zhang, whom she missed.
She stood up without thinking, opened the door and ran out, only to see a handsome young man standing in the courtyard outside the house, it was Cao Zhang.
Xia Houjuan was stunned when she saw Cao Zhang. She never expected that Cao Zhang would come to see her at this time.
"You started singing a lovesickness song before I left. Why are you silent now when you see me?" Cao Zhang asked Xia Houjuan with a smile.
When Cao Zhang exposed the girl's thoughts, Xia Houjuan lowered his head shyly and pinched the corner of his clothes, not knowing how to respond.
Cao Zhang walked up to Xia Houjuan, took her slender hand, held it in his hand and said softly: "Juan'er, it's my fault. I decided to lead the troops to fight without saying hello to you in advance, and I made you worry again. ,Feel sorry."
Xia Houjuan raised his head, looked at Cao Zhang and shook his head gently: "Brother Ziwen is going to do great things and make contributions. A good man should aim at all directions. He shouldn't be around me all day long. How can I blame you? ?”
"Besides, I just listened to the poems my brother recited, and I know that he understands everything in his heart and must be thinking of me. Especially now that he can come and see me despite his busy schedule, I am already very touched." Xia Houjuan Said sensibly.
"Juan'er is really sensible. Since you said so and you saw me, I'm going to go back and rest." Cao Zhang deliberately teased Xiahou Juan and joked with her.
Xia Houjuan had a simple and kind personality, and she didn't realize that Cao Zhang was teasing her. She thought that Cao Zhang was really going to leave. A look of disappointment instantly appeared on her face, but she tried hard to control her emotions.
"Okay, brother Ziwen, go back and rest early..." Xia Houjuan was already crying a little in the middle of his words.
Seeing the pitiful look on the little girl's face, Cao Zhang couldn't bear to provoke her any more. He quickly hugged her in his arms and said, "Silly girl, I'm just teasing you. I'm here specifically to accompany you tonight. We Let’s watch the stars and the moon together, okay?”
When Xia Houjuan heard Cao Zhang say that he wanted to stay with her, a smile appeared on his face and he nodded vigorously: "Okay, great!"
…
Willow branches on the moon.
It was already early summer, and the nights were no longer so cold. The evening breeze came with the fragrance of flowers and plants, making it indescribably comfortable.
Cao Zhang and Xia Houjuan were sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard. Cao Zhang took out some fruits and pastries he had brought and fed them to Xia Houjuan's mouth.
Xia Houjuan felt Cao Zhang's tender care and ate the sweet cakes in his mouth. He felt that this kind of happiness was sweeter than honey.
A cold light flashed across the night sky. It was a meteor that streaked across the sky, leaving a long star tail in the sky and heading into the distance...
Xia Houjuan saw the meteor appear for the first time, and his eyes widened in shock.
Cao Zhang hurriedly urged her: "Juan'er, hurry up, make a wish to that star, it will definitely come true."
Xia Houjuan believed deeply in Cao Zhang's words, and immediately clasped his hands together and made a wish toward the shooting star: "I hope brother Ziwen will be victorious in this expedition and return safely!"
Cao Zhang did not expect that Xia Houjuan's wish was to pray for himself. He was very moved and said softly: "Why don't you make a wish that you most want to realize?"
"This is what I want to realize most. I just hope that brother Ziwen can come back safely!" Xia Houjuan responded to Cao Zhang seriously.
Cao Zhang looked at the well-behaved and sensible Xia Houjuan, and the long-suppressed lust in his heart began to stir again.
Cao Zhang reached out and gently lifted her chin so that her face faced him.
Xia Houjuan raised his head slightly and looked at Cao Zhang. Feeling his fiery gaze, he vaguely noticed something. He didn't dare to look at him again and tried his best to lower his head to avoid it.
Cao Zhang no longer deliberately suppressed himself, nor did he give Xia Houjuan a chance to avoid. He lowered his head suddenly and kissed Xia Houjuan's cherry.
The moment their lips touched, Cao Zhang clearly felt that Xia Houjuan's lips were also hot.
Xia Houjuan seemed to enjoy the feeling of being loved by Cao Zhang. His original shy expression slowly faded away, and he slowly began to cater to him.
The two of them hugged each other tightly and didn't see each other for a long time.
At this moment, the night wind could no longer bear to blow, and the moon quietly hid in the clouds, lest it disturb the rare tenderness between the young lovers before they parted...
