In just one moment of contact, a thunder struck in Shen Nanbao's heart and mind.
She felt like she had become a cauldron on a fire, and the boiling water inside was her internal organs. No matter how the inside was turned upside down, the shell remained stable and stood still.
As for her eyes, they have also become the product of drying. They firmly maintain their round shape, quietly looking at the face that she thinks about day and night, and quietly feeling the two lips. It was like a hoe, turning and turning, as if it wanted to break open her mouth and touch her heart.
Her heart and liver really trembled, and she even felt that in his breath, her heart, liver and lungs were melted together into blazing coals. His breath was like wind, and when he blew it, she would beep, beep, beep, Fire is flying!
At this moment, the little lady's words popped into her mind like moths to a flame: Isn't it tiring to follow the rules like this, to be cautious, to look forward and backward? Why not follow your own heart and protect your innocent heart?
yes.
why not?
She obviously likes him, why can't she really be happy with him!
Thinking like this, it was like pouring oil into a raging fire, and her mood suddenly became high.
But very quickly, panicked footsteps came from the side, a strangled scream, and a loud slap on Shen Nanbao's face, waking her up in an instant.
Shen Nanbao took his hand away and pushed him away.
He stood under the ray of afterglow, touching his hot mouth and looking at him with a pair of clear eyes washed by tears.
She said nothing.
I think that such silence is the best expression and the best question.
However, what she didn't know was that the red light of the setting sun reflected on her face and eyes, as if she had applied a thin layer of rouge. When she looked across the street like this, she felt seductive. .
Xiao Yichen looked at it and couldn't help but murmured, "You just said that you haven't entered the Xiao family's genealogy yet, and I'm not your brother yet."
That's it?
Just this?
So he humiliated her like this?
She originally thought that he was different from Xie Yuanchang and Chen Fangyan. He cared about his own heart and etiquette.
But it's all the same.
They are all the same.
In their hearts, their selfish desires are the most important thing.
And she is insignificant!
The corners of Shen Nanbao's mouth curled up, and her smile was as bright as a flower, but her eyes were dead, like a pool of stagnant water, reflecting Xiao Yichen's figure in the dark.
"You're right. I haven't entered the family tree yet. You are not my brother. Naturally, I am not yours. There is no reason to live here."
After saying this in a daze, she turned around and ran quickly towards the corridor. The hairpin ring on her head was jingling, and the forbidden steps on her skirt were in a mess, but she didn't care, just Focusing on Ai Baoxuan, I kept thinking about how to take care of my body, and use the fastest time to stay away from this place, away from him!
Unfortunately, before she had gone far, someone grabbed her by the crook of her elbow. Just like before, she was forcefully pulled into his arms by him.
"If you don't live here, where will you live?"
Her chin rested on the silk tapestry of his chest, and as she spoke, she felt a sharp and delicate pain, along with a dense pain at the tip of her heart. "Wherever I live is more justified than living here."
Xiao Yichen heard her pun and couldn't help but tighten his hands on her shoulders, "No one can live in the Prince's Mansion more legitimately than you."
Shen Nanbao was silent again.
But this time it was different. When she looked at him, her eyes gradually turned red, and a series of tears escaped from her eyes. They did not even flow down her face, but fell straight to the ground.
Xiao Yichen was startled and hurriedly closed his hands to catch it with his palms upward, "Don't cry, I said the wrong thing..."
But she brushed it away and said, "You're right, in this county and prince's palace, I'm a legitimate person, but I'm legitimately teaching people to talk about me in a cruel way. I'm also legitimately teaching you to take my bones and throw them on the ground. It’s all in pieces, there’s nothing left!”
She said it so viciously that Xiao Yichen froze there, and his mind was racing with memories of the way she stood there, wiping her lips over and over again.
It seemed, seemed, as if, she really didn't like him anymore.
That's why she was so disgusted and tried her best to wipe away the marks he left on her lips.
After the afterglow faded, the moon quietly climbed up, reflecting the dense sky, revealing a cold cyan color, which fell in Xiao Yichen's eyes, cutting him like a knife.
He couldn't help but close his eyes.
But his heart was open, or in other words, it was open, and the cold late autumn evening breeze flowed in from it, penetrating through his limbs and bones, making him tremble and want to escape.
Get away from the fact that she actually doesn't like him anymore.
But his feet were frozen, he had no strength, and he couldn't take a step forward.
I could only listen to her quietly: "Let me go, or enter me into the family tree."
Xiao Yichen lowered his head and looked at her.
In that movement, he heard a series of snaps in his own joints like firecrackers, and he also heard his voice as if separated from the desolate sky, the boundless coldness, and the dying struggle.
"You don't like me anymore?"
like.
favourite.
But she couldn't say.
They were brother and sister, and if she said it, it would be deviant. She was not afraid of being punched in the belly, nor was she afraid of being dipped in a pig cage.
It was him she was afraid of. He was obviously a noble being, and he could be bowed down by thousands of people, but why would he be dragged into the mud and criticized by everyone because of her?
Shen Nanbao shut her mouth tightly, her throat seemed to be pressed into the casket, squeezing out the tightness in her heart and lungs, which was so tight that it hurt.
Seeing her silence, Xiao Yichen laughed softly. Even though his heart was torn to pieces, his face was still so calm and calm.
"You have forgotten that I promised you a long time ago that I will enter you into the family tree. I was busy the past few days and had no time. I will take a break the next day, so I will enter you into the family tree that day!"
After he finished speaking, there was a burst of smoke and he walked away.
Shen Nanbao stayed there as an empty shell. He breathed a sigh of relief until he was no longer visible. He was about to walk into the house, but his feet gave way and he fell straight back.
In this moment, everything becomes so clear.
The ground glows with a pure cold light, the dark red railings, the gauze lamps swinging in the wind, and the green shadow of the moon on the other side of the blurred smoke and trees.
Fengyue Sheng's frightened voice sounded in her ears, "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Kui came over with scattered footsteps, grabbed Shen Nanbao's armpit, "Look for someone, call the doctor."
Everything, like horse money in the hands of a horse hunter, made a clanging sound in Shen Nanbao's mind.
Gradually, the sound became louder and louder, like rolling raindrops hitting the ground, like the rushing wind, and like boiling water gurgling against the lid.
She couldn't help but think of him, his face, his voice, and countless interactions with him.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like she was trapped in a world of ice and fire. Her heart felt soft and warm, but her hands and feet were cold, shuddering with tension and slowness.
She opened her eyes in such discomfort.
I don’t know when it started raining outside. In the dark and gloomy courtyard, the low and low wind was blowing the rain. In the swaying light of the corridor, white hydrangeas were rolling like balls. If you smell it carefully, there is a faint hint of dampness. The earth smells fresh and fragrant.
After smelling it for a long time, the fragrance was gone, leaving only an astringent smell, like medicine, which rushed up to the tip of Shen Nanbao's nose and caused thousands of waves of pain in his stomach, making him want to vomit.
Fengyue walked in with the medicine at this time, and when she saw her leaning on the bedside like Bai Sujian, she was startled, "Sister, are you awake?"
As Yi Bi'er spoke, Yi Bi'er put the medicine on the high table beside the bed, and then used his hand to straighten the pocket for her so that she could lean on it securely.
Shen Nanbao asked: "What's wrong with me?"
Fengyue said: "The doctor said that my sister has been tired these past few days. She didn't get a good rest, and she caught some wind, so she has some typhoid fever."
Shen Nanbao asked: "Who called the doctor?"
"The official went there."
After Fengyue finished speaking, she heard Shen Nanbao's frozen voice, "Then he..."
With these two simple words, Feng Yue understood what she meant. She pursed her lips, stood up and looked away: "Master has been staying at the front office of the palace these days and is too busy to get away. I don't think it's time to leave." I know my sister is sick."
After Fengyue said this, she immediately started to speak again, almost as if she was scalding her lips, "The younger one was still worried about boiling the medicine just now. If I don't wake up, it will be bad if I let the medicine cool down! I didn't expect that my sister would wake up." It’s here! Just wake up and you’ll be fine. But the doctor told me that although my illness is mild, I’ll have to stay in bed for a few days. Anyway, it’s going to rain in the next few days. Please don’t go out and stay at home. , wait until the weather clears and you finish drinking the medicine, then go out."
Saying this, Feng Yue used a cloth as a lining to get the soup bottle. The moment the medicine was poured onto the cup, the unpleasant bitterness cut into Shen Nanbao's throat like a knife, instantly dispelling the astringency in her heart.
Only then did she realize that what she had just smelled was not the grassy fragrance of earth, but the smell of it.
Unable to bear it, Shen Nanbao covered his mouth and nose and leaned back, looking at the medicine with a pair of frowning brows, "It's too hot. Let it sit for a while before I drink it."
Feng Yue noticed her little thoughts and put the cup closer to her, "It's not hot. It's just right when I hold it. What's more, good medicine is bitter and good for the disease. The more bitter it is, the better it can cure the disease."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Feng Yue smiled to herself, "You're not a little bastard. In this regard, sister, you can't compare to old lady Yin. The medicine she drinks is much more bitter than you, sister. She's not even afraid of it." Yes, I held it with my hand and tilted my neck to drink it, and I didn’t even see the old lady frown or anything.”
Mentioning the past, it was like the previous life. Shen Nanbao was stunned for a long time before stretching out his hand to take the medicine. "You are right, and the old lady is right. I have endured so many hardships in my life, why should I be afraid of medicine?" What about this little pain?"
As she spoke, like Mrs. Yin, she drank the medicine with a flick of her hand and a tilt of her head.
