Envy

She thought that if Huo Zhi refused, she would throw a tantrum and lose face.But Huo Zhi agreed almost without hesitation, and took her hand.She was a little frightened, apprehensive, and a little...happy.

Huo Zhi took her back to the inn.His hand was warm, wrapping her cold hand.She gently stretched her fingers and interlocked with his.Huo Zhi was extraordinarily gentle and obedient this day, he always followed her.

As she walked, her tears fell.She covered her eyes with one hand and wept as she walked.Huo Zhi stopped, looked at her helplessly and said, "Why are you crying?"

She sobbed: "I was thinking, I'm really amazing, I can't wait for this moment for ten years, I don't know anyone else who can be so persistent." Her eyes were still red and swollen, she pushed forward and said in a low voice: " Can you give me a kiss?"

Huo Zhi looked around, although the rain had subsided, but there was no one on the street: "...um."

Meng Xi wiped away her tears: "Keep your head down, you are a little tall."

He lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes.Meng Xi put her arms around his neck and tiptoed to kiss his face.He felt soft lips touch his face and asked, "Are you ready?"

Meng Xi said yes contentedly, then took his hand and continued walking.

...Why does he have a feeling of being cheated.

Then Meng Xi's foot slipped, if he hadn't supported him, he would have fallen a long time ago.She said aggrievedly: "Huo Zhi, my legs are weak..."

Huo Zhi simply picked her up.Meng Xi wrapped one arm around his neck and held an umbrella in the other.Fortunately, the rain stopped and the little girl was not too heavy. He carried her on his back and walked on the empty street.

He saw a shop selling cakes on the side of the street, when his family was cleaning up the sweet cakes in the stall at the door in the rain.Thinking that Meng Xi likes to eat, he asked for a pack and asked Meng Xi to hold it in his hand.

Although Mucheng is small, there are many strange things.For example, a living member of the Zhou family had corpse spots, for example, he found a painting stolen by tomb robbers with dirty hands and feet here.Yan Miao in the painting seems to be able to speak, as if asking himself if he has forgotten her.

Meng Xi was drenched all over, and the water droplets from his hair fell on his shoulders.She shivered in the cool wind, hugging him tightly, she said: "When I was young, you also carried me on your back."

"Is there, why don't I remember."

"When I was nine years old, during Chinese New Year, my elder brother brought you and Brother Xue to my house to play. I sneaked out to set off fireworks at night, but the whole family didn't catch me. You found me. You said," She imitated Huo Zhi's tone, "Come home with me."

She was playing crazy at that time, setting off fireworks, running all over the street, accidentally knocking over others.When she looked up, she saw the face of Lang Junyi, a boy in white.He looked down at her with fireworks in his eyes.There are lanterns hanging under the eaves of the house, and the orange light falls on him.His look and voice are not warm, but his hands are warm.

He said, "Meng Xie, come home with me."

In her heart, Huo Zhi is the most special one.He never spoiled her like his elder brother, nor would he call her "Er Qi".The sudden "Meng Xi" can easily move her.

"That's when I thought, I'm going to marry you."

"Every day I hope that I can grow up quickly, and I'm afraid that if I slow down, you will be snatched away by others. But I found out later that you have already had a girl you like. That person is Shen Gui's wonderful girl." Girl." She sighed, her voice muffled, "she is really beautiful, like a fairy walking out of a painting. The third brother brought her to Lizhou, to Meng's house, and she brought me a Fulian's candy bunny. She knows everything, everything. I think it's over."

"I'm so depressed, I don't think I'll be able to compare to such a girl in my life."

"When Miss Miao left, I was also very sad. But apart from being sad, in my private heart, I'm still a little rejoiced. I can try... to get closer to you."

"You see, there are some regrets in a person's life. It's like there is a nine-year gap between me and you. I went around and went around, and finally got there, and you walked a long way. I followed the lantern of my childhood. Light, and you follow the sun. I never dare to stop, I want to be close to you, but you are always moving forward, never looking back."

He didn't speak, just listened to her quietly.

Meng Xi's lips turned white from the cold, and her eyes were black: "If you can't love me for the rest of your life, why not just spoil me for the rest of your life."

"I can also cook noodles for you, add clothes and umbrellas for you, be happy with you when you are happy, and comfort you when you are unhappy. I can also travel the world with you, or live the most ordinary life with you. Life."

He has traveled so long and so far, seen so many people and so many things, and once felt that nothing could shake his heart.

Meng Xi shivered from the cold, she was very embarrassed, and leaned her forehead on his shoulder: "The infatuated women in the play always end badly. I am not infatuated, and I am not forcing it. I just think that if there is another person who can To accompany you through the rest of my life, it must be me."

He has only been gone for 27 years, and he has a long, long life left.

As the rain faded away, Meng Xi heard the faint chirping of autumn birds in the distance.

She heard Huo Zhi say, "Okay."

……

The corpse spots on Zhou's family have disappeared, and there is no danger of their lives.They were about to leave for Mu Mi, Meng Tou hired a carriage and left early the next morning.Meng Xi was caught in the rain and caught the cold, so Meng Tou took the decocted medicine to her room.

Meng Xi sat up wrapped in a quilt and drank the medicine.The wind came through the window, rattling the shutters.Meng Tou walked to the bed and closed the window.

Meng Xi asked, "Brother, is it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Meng Tou took her bowl and put it on the table: "It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, what's the matter?"

"I miss Shaojun a little bit. He is alone. I don't know where he is and how he is doing."

At this time, Pingyang City was full of wind and rain.Outside the palace, the mountain road is muddy and rugged, and the plum trees tremble and sway in the heavy rain.The candlelight in the lobby was blown out, and the veils danced wildly with the cool wind pouring in. Lingzhi ordered people to close the windows and light the candles again.A group of servants dispersed and closed the windows.

After the candle was lit again, there was a knock on the door.A servant went to open the door. After seeing the people outside the door, he froze there: "Young Master?"

After Lingzhi heard it, he quickly walked towards the door.The servant bowed and stepped aside.

"Young Master, you are back..."

The person outside the door really was the young master. He was thin and thin, wearing a black robe with curly cloud patterns, his black hair hanging on his shoulders was wet from the rain, and there were drops of water on his face.He looked tired and somewhat hostile.And his eyes are ice blue.

Standing beside him was a beauty in red, with a slender waist and full of charm.She pulled up her skirt, put one hand on the door frame, stepped into the hall and looked around.

Lingzhi wondered, "Who is this?"

Yan Zhaohan's eyes flickered: "She is Bo Ji, the person next to the Jiangmen master."

"Young Master, your eyes... are you alright?"
