love in bloom

It seems that it has just rained, and you can smell the damp soil and the faint fragrance of flowers and plants.

Lin Yue stood in a quiet, unfamiliar garden.The water on the ground reflects the color of dusk, the mist floats around, and dragonflies hover at low altitude.

There are several old-style villa buildings in the distance, and the cars parked in the open space in front of the buildings also look like decades ago.

What's the matter.

What I'm wearing right now...is it a maid outfit?

Lin Yue was in a trance for a while.I realized that I might be dreaming, and it was muddled, not very clear.

"Sister Lan?" Suddenly someone shouted from behind.

Are you... calling her?

Lin Yue turned around and saw a strange face, also dressed in a white shirt and black dress.

The man urged: "Sister Lan, why are you still here? Hurry up and pick the roses and go back, otherwise Miss will be in a hurry."

With this sentence, everything has a sense of reality.

What is heavy in the hand is a bamboo basket.The flower branches put in were soaked in rain, and the roses that were about to close at dusk also became full and coquettish.

Then some memories that didn't seem to belong to her flooded into her mind.She heard herself laughing unhurriedly, and said, "Let's go back now."

Lin Yue walked out of the garden with a basket of roses.Walk around a steeple house and walk through a grassy atrium.

This place is as big as a castle.

She finally went up the stairs and came to the room at the end of the corridor on that floor.

The layout of the room is very large, but there are not many things inside, and it is empty, so that the princess bed with half-draped veils becomes particularly eye-catching, and you can almost move your eyes there as soon as you enter the door.

The petite girl sitting in the middle of the bed was wearing a pink nightdress, her long hair hanging down to the pillow behind her.Some morbid over-fair complexion makes her look fragile and fragile. Even though she is sitting upright, her whole body is still soft and sticky, as if she just woke up from a sleepy sleep, not waiting for her in a hurry as described by others.

However, the cold expression at this moment already showed dissatisfaction.

"Why did you come back?" The little girl pretended to be blunt and cute.

Lin Yue tried her best to suppress the throbbing joy in her heart.

That's right, this is Yao Qingshu when he was a child.Although the facial features have not yet opened, there is still a childish softness on the face, and there is already a familiar look between the eyebrows and eyes.

It is indeed a dream.Lin Yue pinched her arm, hiss...it still hurts.

Seeing that the other party's face became more and more tense, she gathered her thoughts and put the cut flower branches into a porcelain vase, saying, "Today's roses are blooming beautifully."

The little Yao Qingshu snorted softly, but did not speak.Lin Yue had no choice but to continue coaxing: "There are also many dragonflies and butterflies, and they are colorful."

After finishing speaking, I tried to add a sentence: "Do you want to go out and have a look?"

"Don't go out!" Xiao Qingshu's expression changed instantly, and there was a little more defense and fear in his eyes.

He turned over and lay down on the bed, wrapped himself tightly, and said in a cold voice, "I don't want to see anything."

Expected reaction, but still uncomfortable.

Lin Yue frowned lightly.

The man hadn't stepped out of the building for too long.Even the curtains are kept closed all day long, refusing to let in the light from outside.

She turned on the wall lamp in the room, wanting to talk more with Yao Qingshu when she was a child.It's a pity that things in the dream are not under her control.

A beautiful woman with a graceful figure led a group of people to appear at the door.Lin Yue had to step aside first.

"Miss, it's time to get up," the woman said.

"Nurse..." Xiao Qingshu lifted the quilt and sat on the side of the bed, revealing a pair of tender white feet.Immediately someone came to comb her hair and put on her clothes.

"The two teachers are already waiting for you in the study." The nurse wrung out the towel and handed it to her, and lovingly straightened her bangs.

During Yao Qingshu's cultivation in this manor, teachers would come to teach her every day.Tonight is piano and English.

Look at the wall clock on the wall, it's already this time.

The little girl turned her head and glared at Lin Yue, "It's all your fault, you are not allowed to have dinner tonight."

Lin Yue: "..." Was it unreasonable for the manager of her family to hold grudges like this when she was a child?

However, after ordering like this, at night, she said that she didn't like the tea and food in the room and asked her to eat all of them.

What an awkward kid.

Lin Yue shook her head and smiled. When she came to clean the room the next day, she saw that the leaves of the potted flowers on the counter had turned yellow and fallen off.

Xiao Qingshu was sitting at the desk doing homework, caught a glimpse of it from the corner of the eye, and was a little disgusted, "The potted plants you planted are sick."

Lin Yue: "That's because there is no light."

"Don't light up, give it more water and nutrients, can't you?"

"Plants grow towards the sun, no one likes to hide in the dark."

"Epiphyllum prefers shade, and blooms at night."

"..." Lin Yue couldn't laugh or cry, she had never seen such a talk back in front of others.

"That's because it has accumulated enough light to bloom at night." She picked up the flower pot and persuaded patiently: "This kind of flower likes light, so open the curtains in the future to make the room brighter, okay?"

"No!" A certain little girl couldn't speak at all.

Lin Yue: "Then... put it on the window sill? Just open the curtains a little, otherwise it will die."

Will it die?

Hearing this word, Xiao Qingshu flinched in his heart.

After struggling for a long time, I reluctantly agreed: "Let it go." Finally, he added unwillingly: "If you are sick again, you will be punished and not allowed to eat."

Not only that, but when the time comes, I have to finish all the dim sum in front of her and say "it's delicious".Xiao Qingshu thought viciously.

But soon, she discovered the cunning of the adults.

The potted plants placed on the window sill live up to expectations, and they grow new shoots day by day, tender and green.A few branches have also protruded outside along the gaps in the curtains.

So the young woman named Sister Lan would show a smug expression every time she came back, as if to say "Look, it's true to do what I said", which is really infuriating.

She ignored her teasing, and when she was alone in her room doing her homework, she was always distracted and couldn't help but look there.

It must be on purpose.That person wanted to use this method to lure her to the windowsill...she wouldn't be fooled!

A few minutes later, Xiao Qingshu stood in front of the window sill, awkwardly observing the potted flower.

Seven new leaves grew, so fast.

Looking aside, the heavy curtains were set up with a small corner, and the exposed place seemed to be a hole for peeking into the outside world.

But the first thing that came to mind was the window that was shining white in the thunderstorm night, and the face staring at her through the glass.

She hurriedly wanted to get away, but she stopped because of the laughter coming from outside.

A group of people came back from the orchard, chatting about something while walking.Immediately, the man seemed to have spotted her, deliberately fell to the end of the line, raised his head and waved at her.

Xiao Qingshu didn't want to pay attention to it, but he couldn't move his eyes very much.

What are you doing smiling so happily?Were the bright red strawberries in the basket picked for her?Are there other fruits ripening in the orchard?

I heard from them that the orange blossoms in the back mountain attracted many bees and butterflies, and the cicada larvae began to crawl out of the ground...

Thinking wildly, dark clouds floated in the sky at some point.

Lin Yue, who walked to the front of the building, saw the sudden change in the sky, and her heart tightened.The next moment, there was lightning and thunder in the sky.

The little figure was gone from the upper pane.Maybe he was startled by the thunder just now.

She threw away all the things in her hand, lifted her skirt and ran.When I got back to the room, it was dark inside.

"Clear?" She turned on the light.

The person huddled on the bed suddenly raised his head when he heard the movement, and when he saw it was her, he shrank back again and covered his head with the quilt.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and felt an unspeakable pain spreading in his heart.Go to the bed and sit down gently.

"Cried?"

"No." The rebuttal from the quilt was obviously crying.In fact, at that moment just now, she had already seen clearly the appearance of this man with pear blossoms and rain.

She took off her shoes and lay on her side, hugging her thin body through the quilt.

"It's okay, it's okay." She whispered, patting her back, "It's just raining. It's okay."

After a long time, the sobbing sound stopped.The stiff little body slowly relaxed.

Lin Yue thought she was asleep.The person who covered his head removed some quilts, and said in a muffled voice, "Actually, you are not Sister Lan, are you?"

Her eyes were still red and watery, and she looked over seriously, "Sister Lan was not like this before."

Surprised for a few seconds, Lin Yue couldn't help laughing: "Well, I'm not Sister Lan, I was transformed by a rabbit."

He put on a coaxing tone again: "The big rabbit hugs you to sleep, don't be afraid of thunder."

"I'm not afraid, go away!" Xiao Qingshu stretched out his hand to push her angrily, and his pale face finally recovered some color.But I still care about the electric light outside the window, and I will look at it from time to time.

Lin Yue thought for a while, then raised her lips: "Why don't I tell you a story."

"I don't listen. Don't treat me like a child." The little girl pretended to be serious with a sullen face.

Lin Yue: "Once upon a time, there was an ant who liked flowers very much."

"I don't listen."

"The tweed tree that the ant likes the most grows on a high cliff. It's too far away. The ant thinks that maybe even the strongest bee can't fly to it."

"So whenever it blooms, it can only watch from afar, unable to smell or touch it. But it still firmly believes that it is the most beautiful flower in the world, with the sweetest smell."

"Later, the ant finally made a decision. It wanted to climb to the top of the mountain to see the flower."

Having said that, he stopped on purpose.

"And then?" Xiao Qingshu asked.

Lin Yue suppressed a smile, "Then, the ants prepared rations and embarked on a journey."

"It met a snail on the way. The snail said to give up quickly. When it climbs there, the flowers will all wither."

"But the ant knew that it was much faster than the snail, so it didn't give up. It continued to move forward and met the tree frog and the caterpillar again."

"The caterpillar robbed it of its food. The tree frog croaked and laughed at the ant's stupidity, saying that the flower was not worth it at all, and that the Polygonum weed at the foot of the mountain was the most beautiful."

"The ant is unmoved, and other people's eyes can't represent it..." Lin Yue said warmly, and the person in front of him rubbed his eyes, and his voice gradually fell silent.

Fell asleep.

What a child.

She stopped making a sound, tucked her quilt up, and quietly looked at her lovely sleeping face.

After that day, it didn't rain for a long time.

The potted plants on the windowsill unknowingly grew buds and bloomed their first flowers.

Xiao Qingshu watched happily for a while, then looked up at the person standing beside her.Finally made up his mind, he slowly opened the curtain to let more light shine on it.

Outside the window is the golden sun, warm and dry wind.

The sky is blue and the vegetation is green.

It's been a long time since I saw such a scene.

"The storm is over, isn't it?" she said.

Lin Yue raised her lips, her eyes were gentle, "But storms will come from time to time."

"Then will you stay with me?"

"When you become an old lady, I will always be by your side."

Xiao Qingshu snorted twice, then suddenly said: "I want to go out."

"Why did you want to go out?"

"I'm tired of looking at your face." After speaking, he walked out briskly, took two steps, and turned around to look over, "By the way, what is the ending of the ant in the story?"

Lin Yue wanted to answer, but her eyes became brighter and brighter.

All sounds are gone.The girl gave her a deep look, turned around resolutely, and sank into the dazzling white light.

Then the dream woke up.

Lin Yue opened her eyes in a daze, and didn't recover for a long time.

Thankfully everything is still there.The familiar bedroom, the familiar smell, Yao Qingshu slept peacefully beside her.It was raining outside, ticking against the window sill.

What a long dream.

She turned to look at the pillow.Yao Qingshu has always slept well, and now he still maintains the posture with his hands folded in front of his lower abdomen, but he doesn't know if he is having a nightmare or is disturbed by the thunder at this moment, and his brows frowned from time to time.

Leaning over and kissing, the sleeping man stretched his brows, and automatically and consciously searched for the source of heat and leaned over.

Soon the window was blank, and there were several thunderclaps.

The shoulders of the person in his arms trembled, and Mimeng opened a slit of his eyes.

"Woke up?"

"Hmm..." At this time, Yao Qingshu was the most temperless, with a hoarse voice that seemed to be acting like a baby.

Lin Yue's heart was soft.The force on her shoulders is also gentle, as if treating a beloved baby, "Go to sleep."

"Big Rabbit hugs you to sleep, don't be afraid of thunder and rain."

"...go aside."

Well, it wouldn't be cute to be slightly sober.

Lin Yue didn't feel sleepy. Seeing that Yao Qingshu was also awake, she chatted with her: "I just dreamed about your childhood."

"That's because you stole through my childhood photo album." Yao Qingshu gave her a sideways glance, "What did I dream about?"

"I dreamed that I became a maid named Sister Lan, telling you stories every day to amuse you."

Yao Qingshu: "..."

"It felt so real. I woke up feeling lost. I couldn't tell if it was a dream or if I had traveled back to that time and lived with you there for a long time. Oh, you were so cute back then." Lin Yue sighed softly, There was reluctance in his tone.

Manager Yao was a little jealous for some reason, and choked: "I don't have a big bad wolf named Sister Lan in my childhood memories."

"Excessive." A certain gardener hugged her waist dissatisfiedly and made noise with her until she was so kissed that he couldn't resist.

The rain outside the window stopped for a while and then started again.

Lin Yue buried her face in Yao Qingshu's neck, and said after a long time, "I really want to grow up with you."

"You..." Yao Qingshu held Lin Yue's hand.

"You can grow old with me."
