"It rained really hard. I almost got soaked."
Xia Tan'er used her sleeves to brush away the raindrops on her chin. She looked up at the eaves and looked at the sudden heavy rain. For some reason, she felt a flash of joy in her heart.
There are many people who hate rain in the world. They all hate its suddenness, its wetness, and the darkness of the sky where they cannot see the bright sun. But Xia Tan'er is an exception.
She likes rain, and most of all the darkness when it rains. Blowing the air conditioner, listening to the rain outside the window, and wrapping a blanket on the sofa to watch her favorite TV is the best enjoyment in the world. It is also the only pastime besides work and eating that can make her forget everything.
It's a pity that this pastime is no longer the same after coming to Kyushu Continent.
It was rare for her to have this free time. She stood under the eaves and listened quietly to the sound of rain for a while. Just now, it was still violent and violent, even with a bit of noise, as if it was about to blow people away, but it didn't rain for a while. Pause, leaving only a few drops falling on the eaves of the blue tiles, just like playing a cheerful movement.
Xia Tan'er closed her eyes, her senses suddenly magnified, and the smell of freshly renovated earth after the rain rushed toward her nose, making her feel an inexplicable good smell.
The music of nature gradually dropped in tone, and suddenly, a melodious and passionate sound came from the distance, accelerating the curtain call of the falling rain.
After another high-pitched song, the tune of the person playing the xun suddenly changed into a dull and dead silence, as if there was no hope of living.
It ends in one song and is full of sadness.
Putting aside how well she played, Xia Tan'er was puzzled. The xun, an instrument born for hunting, followed Taoism and nature. It obviously represented the hope of harmony, but the player was lifeless and seemed like sad music.
How could such an elegant instrument produce such a tone?
Xia Tan'er opened her eyes and tried to find the source of the sound, but after searching around, no one was found.
,
"That's all, maybe that person has something that he can't figure out. Respecting the fate of others and letting go of the need to help others is the best strategy."
Her curiosity dissipated very quickly, and Xia Taner shrugged her shoulders and left with a happy look on her face.
On the pavilion in the distance, Yu Wenyue retracted his gaze from Xia Tan'er and turned his back to the railing to look at the man who was putting down the Tao Xun in front of the stone table.
He sat there quietly, with a faint smile on his face like a banished immortal. His crescent-white robe was casually draped on his legs. He was obviously very romantic and radiant, but his eyes were staring blankly ahead.
"Ah Chen, your trick is working. What if Xia Tan'er doesn't understand the music and doesn't understand what you mean?"
Yu Wenyue looked at Xue Chen curiously. He had been living outside the city for many years after he was born. It was rare to see him take the initiative to ask for a meeting with a woman. She was also a woman who was once married and was not favored. As a good brother, he vowed to ask. Clearly.
"I don't know, just let nature take its course."
"I, an old man, really don't understand what you scholars mean. Let nature take its course. There is no such thing as let nature take its course. Tell me honestly why you suddenly want to see a woman you have never met before."
"Never met before? Haha... I have never met you either."
Xue Chen chuckled, with a hint of indifference between his brows.
Yu Wenyue was stunned. Xue Chen had been unable to see since he was born, so naturally he had never seen his face. Damn it, he and he have never met before.
"But your call is too tactful. It's better to come and visit directly. If you can't come out, I will do it. But you have to tell me first, why are you looking for Xia Tan'er? "
Yu Wenyue sat astride the stone bench, his curiosity almost driving him crazy.
It's not like he never told Xue Chen about Xia Tan'er, but Xue Chen just refused to listen and came anyway. He has never been such a stubborn person.
"Don't reveal the secret before the time comes. Ah Yue, let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to invite me to roast chicken?"
"There's really nothing I can do about you."
Yuwen Yue responded to Xue Chen with half disgust and half doting, got up and went around to Xue Chen to help him up.
However, just as the two turned around and were about to leave, a gong sounded in the distance, and the bang was deafening.
Xue Chen was startled and his body couldn't stop trembling. He quickly took Yu Wenyue's hand and patted it twice.
"Ah Yue, please help me find out where this gong sound comes from?"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go check it out right now."
Yu Wenyue poked his head out and saw Xia Tan'er happily walking into the room holding the gong and drum.
"It was Xia Tan'er who knocked the gong, but what was she doing with the gong?"
Xue Chen nodded and showed a faint smile.
"She was responding to the tune I just played. She is a smart woman."
Is a gong and drum enough to be considered a response?
Why do these Wen Zou Zou people have such a hard time communicating with each other? They can just yell at anything and go through all kinds of troubles.
However, Yu Wenyue did not dare to say such words in front of Xue Chen.
Xue Chen has always been calm, but he also has his own temper. When his anger reaches his limit, he can ignore people for ten days and a half.
"Ah Yue, can you send me a greeting card to Lu Mansion tomorrow?"
"Okay, you can say whatever you want. I am your brother, but you can treat me to today's meal."
Yu Wenyue supported Xue Chen as he walked down the steps step by step, and the chatter and laughter in the pavilion gradually disappeared.
Lu Mansion, nine winding corridors.
Xia Tan'er obediently handed the gongs and drums she had just borrowed back to Laifu.
"The sound of the gongs and drums is still clear and crisp. The sound of the music just now sounded very unlucky, and it always touched my brow. As soon as the gongs and drums were beaten, I suddenly felt that something good was about to happen."
"The young lady is really an interesting person. If you need anything in the future, just tell me this. The Lu Mansion is the young lady's home. The young lady must not treat herself as a guest."
"Okay~ I just saw my uncle return home. I'm afraid he hasn't eaten yet after a long night. Uncle Fu, please order the kitchen to prepare some of his daily favorite meals and send them to his room, and also order someone to boil some hot water to prepare for uncle to wash up. .”
"It's nice that the young lady is considerate, but I still have to mention it to the young lady. The young master may not appreciate it if he is worried about the young lady's safety. If the young master loses his temper, I hope the young lady will forgive me."
Losing his temper... is probably unlikely.
According to the deep love between Lu Yimo and Lu Yihai, Lu Yimo might have been exposed as soon as Lu Yihai entered the room.
"Okay, I understand, but please prepare yourself first, Uncle Fu, so that you are prepared for anything."
"Yes, little lady."
After Xia Tan'er finished her explanation, she walked happily to Lu Yimo's room with her hands ready.
However, after just a few steps, a maidservant came hurriedly towards her.
"This slave has met the young lady."
"What happened? Are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"Go back to the young lady, young master... Mr. Xia fainted in the rain. He was soaked all over and had a high fever. Please hurry over and have a look, young lady."
