The young lady was also startled for a moment, and a little embarrassment gradually appeared on her face. She took out the brocade handkerchief and brushed off the dust that was not there at all. There’s so much dust!”
But he turned around and called the waiter and the maid, asking them to take a duster and brush it.
After leaving like this, Shen Nanbao and Chen Fangyan were left looking at each other.
The sound of banging suddenly rang out, with a long and choked tone, as if running in a roundabout way between them, separated by tung oil wooden bricks, lotus root gray velvet carpets, low carriers, messy The disc cupped... his shattered hopes!
After a long while, Shen Nanbao asked: "Go back?"
Chen Fangyan said nothing and only nodded.
The two of them left the Treasure Pavilion one after the other.
The old man had just landed on the top of the mountain, and before the tiled roofs inside and outside had time to hang lanterns, the rows of alley houses were like the color of the sinking sky, with black crows and blue, and people were among them, and the sounds were buzzing. It went down.
Shen Nanbao's voice became particularly clear, "What you told me earlier...I thought about it carefully later, and I found that it has indeed changed too much and caused a lot of damage, but because I'm afraid it's not certain at all, It's an invisible thing, just stop the current pace, why don't you just watch others set fire to it and the building collapses."
Her withered tone was the same as in her previous life.
When I think back on it in the past, I always felt kind and warm, but now when I listen to it, it feels like it's like a lifetime ago.
Even the past events related to her were like water paintings in a cup, passing by before her eyes. In the end, only those memories remained.
Chen Fangyan twitched the corner of his mouth and said stiffly: "I know, you always have to say that."
He suddenly laughed, "That's how you have a temper."
There was a nostalgia for the past in his tone.
Shen Nanbao couldn't bear to see it, turned his head, and then continued: "We have come to this point anyway, and we can't look back. We can just go on like this and have a clear conscience. After all, people's eyes are in front. That just tells us to look forward, doesn’t it?”
Once the final word was finalized, she negated everything in the past with just a few words!
She denied everything he cherished!
Chen Fangyan's whole body felt like he was on fire, so he looked at her in the dim night.
Unfortunately, it’s too dark!
Everything is too dark!
He couldn't see her face clearly, only her eyes were still shining brightly, like a pool of water, and the coolness spread all over his body.
Shen Nanbao saw the shape of his injury and understood it.
It has been more than ten years. Even if the knife engraved with desperate love has become rusty, it is still a knife. A slight move can still twist people's hearts.
But because of this, she needed to make it clear.
This knife needs to be taken out, otherwise it will keep cutting him and make his life miserable.
Shen Nanbao took a deep breath, "I've actually wanted to tell you for a long time, but I just didn't know how to say it."
She felt that the person next to her had obviously paused in her footsteps and gave a soft 'hmm'.
Shen Nanbao's eyes became sore when he heard this, "Last time, I said I forgive you. In fact, I didn't finish my sentence... Can you also forgive me..."
Forgive me for falling in love with someone else...
The clapper sounded again, this time a little far away, as if it was on the street next to it, but when the cool wind blew into Chen Fangyan's ears, it was still harsh as before.
"do not talk."
When he saw her lips twitching and about to speak, he frowned, "Stop talking! Shen Nanbao! You told me this, then let me ask you, what about you? Did you look forward again?"
He walked closer to her.
The long shadow pressed down like a mountain, covering Shen Nanbao tightly.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but step back, "I don't understand what you are talking about..."
But he took a step forward with her, "You know! Shen Nanbao, you understand better than anyone else, and I understand you better than anyone else. Who are you saying this for, and who are you rejecting like this for me!" "
He left no room for her to retort, and his tone was like the autumn wind that calmed the entire alleyway, "I won't ask anything else, I'm just asking you, what are your plans? To be so lonely all your life? What eyes are in front of you, just to let us Those who look forward, if it is true as you said, the first one who should look forward is you!"
She almost lost her temper and almost said that she and Xiao Yichen were not siblings at all.
Fortunately, she woke up in time and bit the tip of her tongue hard, biting off the words.
As for Chen Fangyan, he probably realized that talking like this was too much, and seemed to have discovered something particularly worthy of joy. He smiled slowly and feintly, his eyebrows dancing with joy.
"Shen Nanbao, let's bet that if the sun shines brightly tomorrow, today's affairs will be wiped out and we will all forget about them; if it rains tomorrow, I will be my romantic and cheerful Chen Fangyan. "
"Tell me, okay?"
He was still smiling, but Shen Nanbao could read his fear and the silence that only belonged to him for more than ten years in this protracted laughter.
Of course, his cries and hoarse voices in the dream were all here and now, like smoke, rising up in puffs and puffs, until they smoked into her mind.
Shen Nanbao rolled his eyes, "I..."
There was a rustling wind in her ears, something grabbed her elbow, and she was suddenly pushed aside. Staggering and stumbling, she fell into Su Hexiang's trap.
In that spinning moment, she heard Xiao Yichen's voice.
"Mr. Chen, I have had a lot of free time this day. I dragged my roommate out early and came back in the dark."
Shen Nanbao suddenly raised his head as if a needle was pricking him. His eyes were shining brightly under the moonlight, so bright that they reflected Xiao Yichen's porcelain face.
Chen Fangyan saw her fixed gaze, just like that time when he watched the ferry race, that time at the Qiao Qiao Festival... so many times.
All she could think about was him.
Even though he and she are brother and sister, she still has to give up everything for him and is willing to live alone for him!
The hands under the armholes were clenched tightly, and the expression on his face seemed to be hidden behind the clouds. It was dark, except for the cold sound of his thin throat.
"I can't compare to Commander Xiao. I don't get tired of accompanying Miss Zheng every day."
A flash of panic flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes, and he glanced at Shen Nanbao. Seeing that she was unmoved, there was another wave of confusion on her face.
But soon, Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "No matter how free I am, I can't do anything for Mr. Chen. I have taken the official order to investigate Shen Shi thoroughly. During the day, I have to travel with my roommate, and at night, I have to go back." Zhou Xuancai was admitted to the prostitute's house."
He saw that Chen Fangyan was visibly shaken, and he pinched the corner of his mouth and said, "Although it is common for men to have wives and concubines, but for me, I hate this kind of thing, and I don't want to look at my sister when the time comes. For the sake of the so-called three obediences, four virtues and five constant virtues, I have to stay alone in an empty house in exchange for the praise of being 'magnanimous'! So, Mr. Chen, please respect yourself!"
Without waiting for Chen Fangyan to say anything, he grabbed Shen Nanbao's wrist, held her and walked back.
There was wind in his footsteps, and Shen Nanbao was dragged along by him, staggering, "Slow down..."
But he turned around and stabbed her with a pair of cruel nails, "What are you doing? Waiting for him to catch up and rescue you from my dire suffering? Or are you waiting for him to be as greedy as before? Yeah, I’m inseparable from you.”
He always spoke in an irritating way.
No matter how good-looking a person is, he can't help but hammer his chest.
Therefore, even if Shen Nanbao heard the implication in these words, he would be furious.
She struggled to free her hand, but couldn't get it away, so she said, "It was you who grabbed my hand and it hurt!"
Xiao Yichen was startled, touching the hand that was like hot water, and retracted her hand for a moment, and looked at her hand through the two dim lights, but his mouth was as hard as a donkey biting a millstone, "I told you not to go out with him, If you don’t listen and insist on going, it’s better now, you’ve experienced the pain, I’ll see if you dare next time.”
He is always like this, he can make people angry out of their bodies with just a few words.
Shen Nanbao covered his wrists and glanced at him coolly, "Don't talk about Wowo, we steamed buns. Brother, you should first explain your affairs. If you don't clarify anything, come here and brag to me with a straight face. Cold wind.”
These words choked Xiao Yichen and he asked, "Can you and I be the same?"
Shen Nanbao still had the same cold demeanor, "Yes, I am a young lady, and I have to pay attention to the female rule and not have too much contact with foreign men. Big brother, you are different. Even if you go to the fence, no one dares to comment. You, I even have to praise you for being so charming!"
joke.
He's irritating.
Wouldn't she be irritating?
Anyway, let’s just deal with it like this, let’s see who gets mad at who first, it’s just the right time to let go of all the sullenness I saved earlier!
As expected, after saying these words, Xiao Yichen gasped with stunned eyes.
After just a few breaths back and forth, he was finally defeated. Instead of a complacent expression, he only had one pair of eyes open, like a beggar wagging its tail.
"Do you--do you feel any pain?"
It actually doesn't hurt that much. She's not made of clay. Just pinch her and leave a mark.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said it didn't hurt, "How come big brother is free today? Didn't you see no one at all a while ago?"
She asked honestly, but the image of him and Zheng Shuzhao standing together flashed in her mind, and she couldn't hold back the breath, which jumped straight into her throat, making her voice stiff.
It was windy that day, and the dogs in the alley were barking. Xiao Yichen didn't hear clearly, and he didn't hear the implication in his words. He just responded like a student being asked a question by an instructor: "Everything is in order." Well, of course you don’t have to be so busy..."
Shen Nanbao, who was mumbling in the back, didn't listen well, but he was very knowledgeable.
She moved slowly towards the Prince's Mansion, her plain shoes with embroidered lotus embroidery on them shining brightly on the dark road, just like her heart that fell and fell, making a mess.
She didn't know what to say, or she didn't know whether to ask, what was going on, and what he had been doing lately.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Yichen spoke first, "I'm going to Jiangnan in three days."
He heard her say 'hmm', and even with her thick eyelashes drooping down, he couldn't see clearly what her expression was, so he added: "We won't be there for long, the half-moon scene..."
He paused and said, "It's best that you don't go out during this period."
