Sad reminder Xiaobai

As the end of the month approached, business matters became more and more frequent, and Liang Nuo spent very little time with Zhou Ji.

After returning to the house, Liang Nuo couldn't bear to look at her who was dozing off and trying to hold on.

Taking back the newly made clothes, Liang Nuo thought to himself, when the business is a little less busy in mid-September, he will take her out for fun.

Maybe this can also alleviate her busy schedule these days.

When returning around the alleyway, he happened to meet Zhou Liang. Liang Nuo didn't see him, but he called out first.

"Liang Nuo"

Only then did Liang Nuo stop, seeing him standing in front of an art shop and seeing him approaching, he asked

"What's the matter?"

"I, I bought a painting and want to give it to you."

"No need, I don't have any special opinions on painting, but it's buried here."

"This, but Mr. Xiaobai's new painting recently sold at a high price, and it took me a lot of effort to get it."

"It's still not necessary, I won't stay any longer if I have something to do."

"Then, well, you go to work."

Fortunately, Zhou Liang didn't pursue him closely, so Liang Nuo slowed down his pace, thinking, Mr. Xiaobai's name is very strange.

When I got to the door of the house, I found that the lock had been unlocked. I wondered if A Ji came back early today?

Pushing open the door, walking along the corridor, and entering the back room, there was no one there, she put down the package in her hand, and when she entered the kitchen, she found her crouching in front of the stove, fiddling with something.

Out of curiosity, Liang Nuo moved his steps carefully, moved to her side, bent his eyes, and said something softly

"Aji, what are you doing?"

When she turned her head, she fell backwards. Liang Nuo didn't expect her to be so frightened, and it was too late to reach out to help her.

Hearing her ouch, and closing his eyes in pain, Liang Nuo quickly helped her up and asked

"Where is Ah Ji? Where did the fall hurt?"

She kept twisting and dodging, muttering aggrievedly, "Arnuo, why are you so bad?"

Liang Nuo felt distressed and wanted to see where she fell, and admitted his mistake and said, "Okay, it's all my fault."

She took a small stool and sat down, saying, "You, why did you come back so early today?"

Liang Nuo sat beside her, looked at her, and replied, "I went to pick up the clothes today, so I postponed some unimportant banquets."

"Aji, are you really scared?"

Nodding her head honestly, she said, "Scared me a lot."

"Then what do you want to cook in the kitchen?"

She came back to her senses all of a sudden, pointed to the stove, and said in a panic

"It's over, it must be burnt to slag now."

Although Liang Nuo didn't know what she buried in the stove, he guessed it was something to eat.

Helped to dig out the few black things that were buried under the ashes of the firewood.

Watching her feel anxiously and afraid of the heat, and finally break it apart, Liang Nuo realized that the dark lump was a sweet potato.

She took a small bite, then shook her head and said, "This one isn't ready, it's unpalatable, I'll try this."

Breaking apart the next sweet potato, she handed it over, talking excitedly

"This is not burnt, Arnold, you can eat this."

Seeing the black ash on the corner of her mouth, she reached out to wipe it off, and said

"I'm not hungry, you can eat first."

With the sweet potato in her mouth, she asked, "You, don't you like it?"

"No."

She still held a copy to her mouth and said, "Then you can eat a little bit, I have been making it for a long time."

It has to be said that Liang Nuo couldn't bear to see her pitiful appearance, even if he knew that she was pretending on purpose.

I took the sweet potato she handed over, it tasted very sweet, and she was playing with other sweet potatoes while talking

"Arnold will finish eating later, I have something to tell you."

"Is something important?"

She picks up the leftover burnt sweet potatoes

, responding "Well, it should be very important."

After tidying up, she ate most of the sweet potatoes, but Liang Nuo's mind stopped on that very important matter.

But it would be dark in the evening, Liang Nuo watched as she filled the stove with firewood and heated hot water.

Her cheeks were flushed by the light of the fire, and her nose seemed to be sweating, but she kept silent.

After a while, she sighed, put down the small wooden stick in her hand, turned her head, looked at it, turned her back again, and said in a muffled voice

"Arnuo, Auntie will pick me up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Liang Nuo didn't understand at once, so he said, "Why is it so sudden? Then, when will you come back, I will pick you up."

"Maybe, don't come back."

Only after her soft words did Liang Nuo realize how heavy the words "I'm not coming back" are.

After an unknown amount of time, Liang Nuo turned his fingers slightly, eased his breathing, calmed down his voice, stood up, and said

"Then, I have to help Aji pack his clothes."

Without waiting for her to respond, Liang Nuo left the kitchen first, gasping for breath, Liang Nuo kept turning and went into the back room.

She stopped in a hurry, looked at the room, paused, opened the closet, her hands trembled uncontrollably, she wanted to tidy it up, but she just hugged her clothes.

Tears kept flowing, even if Liang Nuo kept thinking in his heart, don't cry, crying will not solve the problem.

The red-eyed general packed up the clothes one by one, wiped away tears, sorted the package, and caught a glimpse of the clothes brought back earlier.

She got up, hugged her out of the back room, and ran into the kitchen, she was carrying hot water, Liang Nuo called her to stop

"Aji, come, come and try on this new dress."

She stood stiffly, Liang Nuo lowered her head and stretched out her hand to tie her shirt, she said something in a low voice

"You're covered in sweat, try again after taking a shower, okay?"

Liang Nuo replied after a slight pause, "Okay, then A Ji will try again later."

Packed up her clothes, walked in front of her with the hot water bucket she had put aside, and she carried a small half bucket of water behind her.

"Arnold, why don't we wash together tonight?"

"it is good"

Poured hot water, her little face was reddened by the heat, Liang Nuo poured another half bucket of hot water, tested the water temperature, and said

"Is this about the temperature?"

She stretched out her hand and slowly touched the surface of the water, nodded, Liang Nuo poured half of the bucket of water into the tub, seeing her surprised look, glanced over, and said

"Why are you in a daze, the water is more comfortable, put, take off your clothes and go in."

"okay."

She tilted her head slightly, and fixed the belt, Liang Nuo didn't know what to do, just watched her unbuttoning her clothes, pulling up her drooping hair, revealing her shiny neck.

Until she turned her head suddenly, Liang Nuo lowered his head in a daze, took the handkerchief, put it aside, and untied his belt.

This trance, with the sound of water, she was already nestled in the bathtub, her cute appearance made Liang Nuo's heart ache, and his heart ached, what should he do if others looked at her like this.

He clenched his sleeves tightly, bowed his head, and unbuttoned his obscene clothes. Liang Nuo had to be nervous and apprehensive. Seeing each other honestly in such a situation, he was really, really nervous.

Stepping into the bathtub, she leaned on one side, Liang Nuo looked at her with flushed cheeks, stretched out his hand, and said

"Aji, come here."

Holding her hand, she slowly moved over, holding her like in the past, and letting her nestle in his arms, I don't know if it was the water or her scorching skin, Liang Nuo felt hot all over.

She tilted her head slightly, leaning against her cheek, holding a veil in her hand, wiping her back earnestly, she obediently kept silent, leaned close, and watched.

Liang Nuo looked back at her, curled the corners of his mouth, smiled, kissed her eyes, and said

"Ah Ji, don't worry, wherever Aji is, I will be there."

She nodded, resting her head on her shoulder, saying "I will, come back."

He held her arm, wiped it gently, and said, "I will wait for you, but remember, if A Niang introduces someone to you, remember to be obedient."

She said angrily, "No, this is not allowed."

Wiping her cheeks with a warm handkerchief, she realized that her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but wet her eye sockets too, saying

"Don't be angry, Ah Ji can't tell others about our affairs, otherwise, if it endangers Ah Ji, I would rather die alone. Listen, Ah Ji, be good, you know?"

Liang Nuo knew it, even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have heard it. Two women falling in love is a violation of ethics and morality. People's words are terrible, and Ah Ji probably doesn't understand.

He stretched out his arms, leaned close to her, rubbed her cheek, and said

"Aji, can you give me a hug?"

She habitually put her arms around her neck, Liang Nuo said with a smile, "Why is it still like this."

She watched in confusion, even though Liang Nuo was shy, he was still willing to hug and kiss the idiot in front of him, because she was the only one, and there was no other substitute.

His heart was so close that Liang Nuo nervously supported her to sit on his body without saying a word, but Liang Nuo was already very content.

If she is a gift from heaven to him, Liang Nuo has no other words to express it except gratitude.

When the water became cold, she pulled away slightly, and said something embarrassingly.

"I'm a little thirsty."

Only then did Liang Nuo realize that the water was already lukewarm, so he quickly let go of his hand and said

"Then, let's get up."

Wiping the water stains on his body, Liang Nuo closed his clothes, she also put on her clothes, glanced at her head, and said

"Want to go out?"

"it is good."

When she got out of the room, she hurriedly poured water to drink, handed over a glass of warm water, looked at the clothes hanging on the side, and said

"Beautiful clothes."

"Aji likes it?"

"Ah."

"Come on, let me help you put it on."

"it is good."

Ah Ji probably really liked the clothes, and stood there patiently. Liang Nuo helped her put them on one by one from the inside to the outside, and showed her the bronze mirror.

She looked at it with the bronze mirror in her hand, and said, "It looks good, but it's quite thick."

Liang Nuo stretched out his hands to straighten her collar carefully, and turned back

"It's good if you like it. These clothes are worn in autumn and winter. Ah Ji is afraid of the heat, so it's quite early to wear them now."

After she had seen enough, Liang Nuo untied the clothes on her body and put them into her package.

After tidying up, Liang Nuo turned off the oil lamp, she lay peacefully on the bed, lying side by side, her heads were very close to each other, Liang Nuo closed his eyes and did not speak.

Until she said softly, "Arnold, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Well, I know, go to sleep."

Liang Nuo knew that this time was different, since her mother came to pick her up in person, there would probably be nothing else other than the marriage.

Liang Nuo hadn't thought much about Ah Ji's marriage before, but now, at this time, he was panicked and reluctant, and it seemed that he might as well help Ah Ji find a good family.

So that she could still be as happy as usual, but the more he comforted himself like this, Liang Nuo felt that he was personally stabbing his heart with needles, and the dense wounds were far less than the excruciating pain.

In the middle of the night, she leaned against her side, restlessly putting her hand outside the quilt, Liang Nuo quietly put her hand under the quilt but was reluctant to move it away, and pressed it tightly to his heart, as if this could fill the pain .

He reminded himself, Liang Nuo, didn't he know that this would happen a long time ago, as long as it doesn't endanger her, nothing is important, nothing is important.

The author has something to say:

In the next few chapters, Liang Nuo's perspective will appear more.
