Seven bitter flowers

Chapter 10: The Moon's Heart

Ding Xiu's heart suddenly stopped in his throat, and then fell back with a "boom", beating wildly in his chest like a sickness.She used up her last bit of strength to close the door with her backhand, and her knees could still support her legs. She felt that she was really calm and courageous in her heart. Without a frown.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and there was a low sound, as if the person was laughing, the extremely low voice sounded softly, but it hit Ding Xiu's eardrum heavily:

"Axiu, you are so happy to see me, are you silly?"

Ding Xiu swallowed, took another deep breath before finding her own voice, and replied with a trembling voice, "Zhan Zhao, why are you here?" At this time her eyes had adapted to the darkness in the room, She saw Zhan Zhao sitting obliquely at the table, dressed in a different light color than before, but it matched the color of the snow outside.

Ding Xiu's eyes suddenly became wet without warning.

Zhan Zhao smiled and showed a perplexed look in his eyes, as if Ding Xiu's question didn't need to be answered at all, he said slowly, "I, why can't I be here?"

Ding Xiu was choked, and the tears that were about to fill her eyes flowed back naturally. She didn't know that Zhan Zhao had such a hidden trick, so she waited for a long time before showing a sincere look. He said with an air, "I sincerely ask you for advice. In the middle of the night, why are you so...running into other girls' boudoirs?"

"Oh." There seemed to be a smile in Zhan Zhao's voice, "It makes sense, I wanted to come to see you, but you refused to go outside, so I came in."

Ding Xiu's body swayed, she felt that Zhan Zhao might have taken the wrong medicine tonight, or maybe she had taken the wrong medicine herself, so she had such an absurd dream, and considering that she had been having nightmares every night recently. In the state of a nightmare, the possibility of the second situation is obviously much greater... Thinking of this, Ding Xiu couldn't help feeling happy and worried. The happy thing is that if this is really a dream, then she finally started to have a new dream. And it didn't look like a nightmare, although there was still Zhan Zhao, but at least it wasn't Zhan Zhao who swung his sword to slash her, so she felt a little relieved.The worry is, if this is indeed a dream, for a reserved and educated woman like her, dreaming of the same man so frequently is not very reserved after all, and it makes her feel a little melancholy.

In the silence, Zhan Zhao spoke in a deep voice: "Axiu, why are you silent?"

In such a quiet room, Zhan Zhao's voice was particularly deep and pleasant, and Ding Xiu subconsciously replied, "Well, I'm thinking about why I keep dreaming about you." As soon as the words landed, the two of them froze at the same time.Ding Xiu regained his senses first, and after realizing it, he stretched out his hand and twisted his leg hard, grinning his teeth in pain and almost screaming.

Zhan Zhao let out a muffled laugh, and asked, "You haven't woken up yet, have you?"

Ding Xiu didn't answer Zhan Zhao's question, there are only two thoughts in her mind now, the first one is: This is not a dream!The second one is: Zhan Zhao, he really took the wrong medicine...

Ding Xiu's mind was full of porridge, and she looked up at Zhan Zhao in a daze. In fact, she and Zhan Zhao hadn't seen each other for a few days, but it felt like a long parting.However, for her, this is indeed a long parting.Ding Xiu secretly sighed in his heart, feeling a little confused and puzzled.Confused, should she say hello to Zhan Zhao?What should I say?Do you want her to wave at him with a smile and say "Long time no see"?What is puzzling is that she remembers very clearly that she was the one who forced Zhan Zhao to leave a few days ago. According to her calculations, Zhan Zhao should have returned to Kaifeng, and then probably missed the invitation card sent by Shangguan Yingyang ...But in this way, shouldn't Zhan Zhao stay in Kaifeng Mansion to continue patrolling the streets to solve crimes and catch thieves?But now that he appeared in his room like this, and he was smiling like he didn't look like he was taking revenge for the cruel words she said last time, I'm afraid it's a little weird...

Seeing Ding Xiu's dazed look, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but feel amused, went over and stroked her hair twice, then pulled her to sit by the bed, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, I still haven't woken up. I haven't asked you yet, it's midnight, why don't you sleep well, what are you doing outside?"

Ding Xiu held Zhan Zhao's warm and dry hand, his mind moved, and he almost told the truth, but fortunately, he realized what he had said, and changed his words: "Well, today...the moon is very good, I'll come out to enjoy the moon...

Zhan Zhao stared at Ding Xiu, and asked, "Watch the moon? Are you going to dress like this and watch the moon?"

Ding Xiu didn't react, she followed Zhan Zhao's gaze, and was embarrassed. In order to explore Shangguanyan's room tonight, and considering the snow scene outside, she deliberately wore a dress that was tight-fitting. The fast attire and the vigorous clothes at the moment complement Zhan Zhao's attire...

Dan Ding's embroidered efforts to mend a dead sheep are indeed not covered, he cleared his throat twice and said: "Well, hehe, you may not know something, this is the custom of the Shangguan family, look, today is the full moon, right? In Shangguan’s house, the full moon has to wear this way, I live in Shangguan’s house now, so naturally I have to do as the Romans do..." She was talking alone, and suddenly got a chestnut from Zhan Zhao, and was about to protest, Zhan Zhao Already in a bad mood, he said, "Make it up, make it up again."

Ding Xiu covered his forehead and looked at Zhan Zhao. His tone was ferocious, but he still had a smile on his face. He seemed not angry with her explanation, but rather found it quite amusing.Ding Xiu suddenly became dazed, and asked nonchalantly, "Zhan Zhao, why aren't you angry with me?" She was really surprised, a few days ago, she said that at Shangguan Jiu's house The words made her feel uncomfortable, but she didn't regret it. With these words, Zhan Zhao would leave her and hate her. Maybe after a while, he would forget her... She is too selfish Too greedy, unable to walk away from Zhan Zhao by herself, so had to let Zhan Zhao push her away.She has always been an ominous person, and none of her relatives or friends will end well. She can't go on like this and let Zhan Zhao die again. By that time, she won't feel at ease when she dies.

So those words, she said so resolutely, so there is no room for turning around, she didn't want to leave a way out for herself, she didn't want to leave even a reason for herself to return to Zhan Zhao so selfishly.

However, how could Zhan Zhao not be angry at all?

Ding Xiu took a deep breath, and suddenly couldn't hold back the tears that she had withdrawn just now, and fell down from the corners of her eyes, streaming, her face warmed up, and Zhan Zhao's warm fingers covered her. Coming up, he carefully wiped away her tears, as lightly as if she would shatter if touched, he said: "Axiu, don't cry, it's all my fault."

Ding Xiu shed more tears, she really didn't mean that, she didn't cry because she complained about him, nor did she want to ask for his comfort, she was always the one who was at fault, she pulled him regardless Into the water, it was she who stayed by his side selfishly, because she was too greedy and willful.It was always her fault, but Zhan Zhao never blamed her or hated her. Instead, he stood here patiently, wiping her tears, and told her, "Don't cry, it's all my fault."...

How could she deserve Zhan Zhao to treat her like this?

After sobbing for a long time, Ding Xiu managed to hold back his tears, and said with a choked voice, "Zhan Zhao..." After saying two words, he couldn't continue. He could only look at Zhan Zhao with his eyes wide open, for fear that something would happen accidentally. , Tears fell again.

Zhan Zhao's eyes fell on Ding Xiu's face, and he smiled lightly, "Have you cried enough now? I really should show you that mirror, crying like a cat."

When Ding Xiu heard this, he suddenly remembered that he still had Shangguan Jiu's face on his face, jumped up with an "Aiya", and hurried to get the bronze mirror on the dressing table.It's fine if you don't take a photo, but with this photo, Ding Xiu suddenly had the urge to hit the wall.Such a face, said to look like a cat, cats would not agree, Zhan Zhao was able to look at such a face without changing his expression for a long time, he really has seen the world...

After such a toss, Ding Xiu's sad emotions just now were shattered into fragments. When he hurriedly poured water to wash his face and touch up his makeup, he suddenly heard Zhan Zhao's deep voice:

"Axiu, I have something I want to ask you."
