The wind and snow are rolling outside the window curtains, and the lights in the carriage are bright, with silhouettes in pairs, and the time is quiet.
In a trance, time stood still, and those images that had been buried in the depths of memory became clearer and clearer in Su Jingqian's mind as the lights turned on and off.
In the early summer of that year, the breeze was warm and the sky was blue.
In the courtyard, rockeries and running water pile up beside the lotus pond, dewdrops roll on the green lotus leaves, flower trees stand in the wind, their sparse branches and leaves sway in the wind, rustling, pink and white flowers are dotted among them, and vermilion and green are intertwined. Complement each other.
The courtyard is filled with lush vegetation and fragrant flowers.
The young man in white clothes was sitting under the flower tree, flipping through the book in his hand. The petals were fluttering in the wind, dancing in the air, and the falling flowers from the sky were flying around him, occasionally falling in his hair.
The originally quiet and beautiful scene was broken by the sound of rapid footsteps outside the door.
The young man raised his eyes and smiled towards the door. The sunlight passed through the layers of branches and leaves, swaying a golden halo between his eyebrows, making the smile on his face extremely vivid, and the face that stunned all living beings became even more dazzling.
He saw a girl in red under the door walking towards him with light steps. Her red dress was like blooming manjus and sandalwood, swaying between her steps. Her black hair was pouring down like a waterfall, and her snow-white skin and jade face were all beautiful. She was so beautiful that even the delicate flowers blooming in the garden looked eclipsed by her.
The girl walked to his side, sat down, unceremoniously grabbed a piece of snack from the stone table, and ate it heartily.
Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, the young man raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but joked: "Why, you ate all the huge City Lord's Mansion? You actually came to me to look for food."
Although the young man sounded a little disgusted, he still poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"Eat slowly and don't worry about choking yourself."
After hearing the boy's instructions, the girl responded vaguely, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then continued to chew the cake in her hand.
The young man propped up his chin with one hand and watched with interest as she put the snacks into her mouth piece by piece. From time to time, he would refill her tea. There was always a gentle smile in his seductive peach blossom eyes.
After the girl finally had enough to eat and drink, she touched her belly with satisfaction and let out a contented sigh.
The young man looked at the mess on the stone table after the wind and the remaining clouds, as well as the crumbs of pastry still remaining on the girl's lips. He couldn't help but laugh, and then he reached out and brushed it away from the corner of her mouth.
The girl looked at him with a smile, raised her chin in cooperation, and let him gently rub the corners of her lips with his fingertips, wiping away the remaining pastry residue from her mouth bit by bit.
There is a bit of sweetness in the warm air, and the mottled light and shadows on the ground move with the wind, changing and interlacing, like a Milky Way studded with broken stars, swaying gently among the pairs of figures.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to have thought of something, the smile in her eyes suddenly faded, and she curled her lips and complained: "It was obvious that the three of us went to Nanling City together, but my uncle only scolded me, and he punished me by kneeling down for a long time without saying anything. If you don't let the kitchen prepare me food, I'm going to starve to death. You'd better sit here drinking tea and admiring the flowers. It's so comfortable, and I don't see you interceding on my behalf."
"Lin Wanwan, can you please be reasonable?"
The young man heard the dissatisfaction and blame in her tone. He hugged his chest with both hands and raised his eyebrows slightly. The soft color in his eyes had disappeared, and the young man's arrogance and unruliness spread from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"First, when you insisted on going to Nanling to watch the mask rally, did Rong Sui and I remind you that if you sneak to Nanling this time, you will be discovered by City Lord Shen, and you will inevitably be punished when you come back. But you I still insist on going. Secondly, Rong Sui and I have special status. City Lord Shen will not reprimand us verbally, but he may not give up here. He might find an excuse for us to practice hard tomorrow. With basic skills, our end may not be better than yours. Thirdly, if I go to intercede for you, I am undoubtedly trying to put out the fire. If City Lord Shen is willing to get angry with me, that's fine. If not, then he will express his anger. As for you, then you will be punished by more than just kneeling for half a day."
The young man's words were clear and logical. The girl choked and was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.
The girl thought that she had been pressed down by her uncle and practiced basic skills for half a day, and her whole body was already sore and unbearable. She lay on the bed for two full days before she felt a little better. If she really practiced for a few days, why not lie down for ten and a half days? Thinking of this, the resentment in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she couldn't help but cast a pitying look at the young man, but those eyes that were as bright as stars were full of gloating.
The young man leaned back lazily, raised his chin slightly, glanced at her, and said leisurely: "It's a good idea to let you improve your memory, so as not to make you too curious and reveal something in the future."
The girl retorted unconvinced: "What's wrong with being curious? Besides, what can I poke...basket..."
At first she looked confident and confident, but as she spoke, her aura gradually weakened, as if recalling her past "great achievements", she glanced at the young man guiltily, and then moved away pretending to be calm. Opened sight.
The young man looked at her leisurely, and the slight smile on his lips clearly had a certain connotation.
"Oh?" The young man's tone was somewhat meaningful. He touched his chin thoughtfully and thought with some embarrassment, "Then I have to think carefully about who carried me and sneaked into the bandit's den. , trying to imitate the heroes in the storybook, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, but almost got themselves involved? Who, when sneaking out, knew that his whereabouts could not be leaked, but still relied on his three-legged cat When the road was rough, I drew my sword to help, but in the end, I was asked to save her? Who else——"
"Su-Jin!"
Hearing the young man mentioning his past "great achievements" like a treasure trove, the girl's forehead jumped and she gritted her teeth to interrupt him.
The young man pursed his lips with some restraint, but in the end he still couldn't hold back the smile in his eyes.
He smiled wildly and openly, and his laughter was sweet and sweet, just like the intoxicating breeze blowing gently by the girl's ears, soothing the slight annoyance in her heart.
"You, you are so curious, and you love to fool around so much. If I hadn't cleaned up the mess for you, I don't know how many times you would have been punished by Master Shen Cheng." The young man's dazzling brows and eyes still showed his usual aura. Arrogant and unruly, but there is a bit more indulgence and pampering in his eyes, "What will you do if you leave me in the future?"
The girl blinked her smart starry eyes and replied without thinking: "Then I won't leave Ajin. Anyway, no matter where Ajin is in the future, I will find Ajin."
