do you still love him

For a long time, until Peony's voice was hoarse and she couldn't shed a single tear, she left Chengxue's arms in embarrassment, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve casually.

It seemed that I hadn't had a good cry for a long time.I suppressed it for so long that I forgot that I still had tears.That's right, my brother Zuo and I, two rural children with no education or background, are slowly taking root in such a small city, so there really is no time to cry!

But it's okay to cry.I always feel that the suffocation caused by Brother Zuo's departure has dissipated a lot with the tears just now.

Looking at the wet patch on the chest of the person in the opposite painting, Mudan couldn't help feeling embarrassed: "That... I'm sorry... and... thank you..."

Cheng Xue shook her head, and the wet part of her clothes was dry: However, this dress is no longer acceptable.Otherwise, if that bad-tempered guy from Huadao smelled that he belonged to someone else, he must have made a fuss!

Thinking of Huadao, Cheng Xue's slight sense of alienation dissipated a little.

For so many years, one person has supported the world of two people, and Mudan's heart is actually very strong.Moreover, because she started from scratch, she is even more sensitive than ordinary people and pays more attention to the things around her.

Just like now: "Excuse me, have you thought of your lover?" Although, it's not very good to ask this question to someone who doesn't even know his name.However, if two people love each other deeply, this will be a good entry point, which can quickly shorten the distance between yourself and the person in front of you.

Cheng Xue nodded: "Yes, I love him very much!"

Not "we love each other very much", but "I love him very much"!

Peony nodded, with a sincere smile and blessing: "It must be very happy to be in love with you."

Cheng Xue also smiled: "Thank you! However, I am lucky to be able to fall in love with him!" He liked this girl even more.

Mudan felt that she had absorbed some strength from that cup of ginger tea and from the man in front of her.So, trying to support herself, she slowly moved to the side of the bed, leaned against the bed post, and sat up.It was only at this time that she straightened her back, looked solemn, and spoke sincerely: "Hi, it's the first time we meet, my name is Mudan!"

The surprise in Cheng Xue's eyes was obvious.He looked at the weak and trembling child in front of him, and seemed to see her extraordinarily beautiful and fresh soul through the ugly body in front of him: "Hello, my name is Cheng Xue!"

He likes this girl!

So, Cheng Xue took the initiative to reach out her hand, and shook hands with that surprised little girl!

Mudan felt that the ginger scented tea that she had just taken a sip of earlier gave her a bit of strength, and her limp body was slowly recovering.Even, even the hunger that I had deliberately ignored disappeared.Therefore, she was very surprised and said with disbelief, "Excuse me, that cup of tea..."

Is it really what I guessed?

Cheng Xue beckoned to the stool behind her, and that stool stood up right away, walking behind Cheng Xue with four stubby legs, humming and humming.

Cheng Xue sat down gently, not forgetting to express her gratitude: "Thank you!"

The world view that Peony formed since she was a child seems to be about to collapse, but, inexplicably, she actually feels normal in her heart, as it should be.

Cheng Xue straightened her sleeves without any wrinkles: "Now, would you like to tell me your story?" In fact, he had already extracted the matter of Peony from her memory.However, for Peony, if she can speak out, it should help her recover.

Peony looked at the bed that suddenly reached out and gave herself a hug, her mind went blank for a moment.But fortunately, she recovered quickly: "Thank you," she felt that she had more courage, "Actually, there is nothing special, it's just the most common story..."

That year, she was 8 years old and he was 5 years old.

The little peony is black and fat, but with three little followers with runny noses and small heads held high, she looks a bit bossy.

"What's going on in front?" It was clear that three little ghosts were beating one, but Mudan, the boss, turned her head so high that she was about to look up, pretending not to see it!

"Boss, wait for the younger one to check it out!" As a dog's leg, try to figure out what the boss is thinking, it should be the first one!

So, Ergouzi hooked his waist and trotted to the scene of the "accident". After carefully seeing several people, he ran back quickly: "Boss, Xiaohei, Xiaohu, and Goushenger in front of you are beating that Little bastard." However, the little bastard was shrunk into a ball after being beaten, but there was no sound at all.

Mudan withdrew her sore and aching head: "Little bastard? Just that little boy next door to my house?" That guy has no father or mother, only a grandma who is barely alive.

Er Gouzi had a flattering expression on his face: "Boss is a wise man!" Er Gouzi is the most worthy of the name with a few scumbags.

Peony patted Er Gouzi on the head, with a benevolent look on her face: "Yes, you are able to do things well! It's noon today, remember to go to my place to get a... no, half a piece of fruit candy!" Peony's family background is considered good in the village, My parents opened a canteen in the village.

Er Gouzi squinted at the other two silly hats with greedy faces, and bent even lower: "Thank you for the reward!" Although it's a pity that I didn't get a piece of candy, but half a piece is enough to lick it for at least a week -- Envious of those poor ghosts who don't speak human words behind their backs!

"Then boss..." Liu Jin looked at the small fists and feet of the three people in front of him, feeling pain for that little bastard.However, he himself is timid and doesn't know how to fight, so even if he wants to help, he can't help it.

Peony gave a "cut" and said, "It's a rest if you kill me. I have something to do with my boss." However, for some reason, since the first time I saw this little boy, every time I saw him, I felt hot all over, and my heart beat faster. unusual.So, Peony was upset when she saw him, so naturally she couldn't like him.Although, it is not possible to find someone to beat him, but every time he sees someone beat him, he will not help him.

The monkey's eyes rolled, and he said suddenly: "Boss, this little bastard is clean and looks good. My mother and father said, I guess, it will grow like a flower in the future. And, boss, look , we are all black loaches, but he can't get tanned, he is white. You can take him into the harem!" As for what the harem means, he doesn't quite understand.It's just that sometimes when I hear gossip in the village, I think he should be a very good guy.

Mudan nodded: "That's a good idea! But, what does the harem mean?" She also thought the word harem was pretty cool.

How can a monkey say that he doesn't understand!He just wanted to make the boss think he was smart, so he just gave him a candy: "The harem is the proof of the emperor's identity. The more people in the harem, the greater his ability!" Of course, at least, he still understands the meaning of "harem" and "servant" There is a difference.

Mudan waved her little hand: "Okay, that's the decision! Go, save him, and from now on, he will be the boss's harem!"

In a word, from then on, the fate of the two people began to be entangled.

That year, she was 12 years old and he was 9 years old.

In the grove behind the school, Mudan led a group of followers, imitating the adults, puffing and puffing.

"Boss, the smell of this smoke is so refreshing." Er Gouzi squinted his eyes, even though he was flooded with tears and snot, he still shivered comfortably.

Liu Jin held half of the cigarette tremblingly with his two small hands, and finally mustered up the courage to take a puff. Who knew that because it was the first time and he had no experience, he almost passed out from coughing due to choking: "Boss, boss, can you?" , Can I stop smoking?"

The monkey squatted on the ground, holding the cigarette with two fingers, but it looked good. It looked very comfortable, and it looked like it usually smoked a lot at home: "No! You are stupid! Do you know how expensive a pack of cigarettes is? ?"

Liu Jin put his mouth close to the butt of the cigarette a few times, but he was overwhelmed by the smell of the cigarette and burst into tears: "How much, how much?"

The monkey took a big puff, and didn't even want to spit out the smoke, so he inhaled it directly: "The cheapest one is one piece, the boss took this red plum, and it's a pack of three yuan! Your father smokes all by himself Damn, don’t get cheap and act like a good boy.”

Er Gouzi smoked so fast that he downed all the cigarettes.He also knew that the bag that the boss brought out was shared by everyone.So, he looked at Liujin greedily: "I said, don't waste it, you didn't even get a bite, it's all for nothing. Don't give it to me!"

The monkey hurriedly smoked his own cigarette, crushed the butt of the cigarette with the sole of his shoe, and stood up: "Don't Jie, Liujin, if you don't smoke it for brother, don't give it to that dog."

Liu Jin looked at Er Gouzi's greedy face, then at the monkey's anxious face, and then at the enjoyment faces of his friends. He shook his head and said, "Farewell, myself, myself smoke."

"Cut!" Ergouzi and Houzi had to give up.

On the other side, Peony has been teasing the flushed Zuo Zuo: "Hey, little bastard, take a sip, sister, you are as happy as a fairy."

Although she herself doesn't like smoking, she finds the taste spicy and uncomfortable.But, she is the boss, how can she not smoke?If you see a boss who doesn't smoke, he has no momentum!

Zuo Zuo kept his mouth tightly shut, but didn't smoke: Since grandma passed away, she entrusted herself to Mudan's parents, and she has been a slave of their family since then, and she will sell them for the rest of her life.

However, there is no way, I have no relatives, and I am too young to take care of myself.As for Mudan's parents, although they were a bit snobby and shrewd, at least they didn't beat themselves up.

Seeing that Zuo Zuo had been refusing to smoke, and seeing that a cigarette was about to burn to the end, Peony had a flash of inspiration, took a puff by herself, and then spit the smoke on Zuo Zuo's face, choking him so much that he coughed, and his face was full. flushed.

At that time, Peony's smile was wanton.
