[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Hathaway expressed admiration for the development of the matter. Just now she was still worrying about how to reject an unpopular marriage proposal, but in the blink of an eye she was abandoned by the male lead, which really made her dumbfounded.

Just now, Hathaway was just about to watch the show before she got up, when she felt a tingling pain in her left ankle just as she was about to stand up with her arms. Miss Fuman, after carefully thinking back on the situation just now, it is clear that the other party had no good intentions to push her into the river, but she twisted her foot and pushed the other party into the river. This is the standard harm to others and yourself. .

Hathaway reluctantly moved to a flat boulder by the river and sat down. She carefully took off her boots and socks, only to see a large area of ​​redness on her ankle, which seemed to be slightly swollen. She pressed her hands slightly After pressing it, she frowned in pain. She sat on the rock and became worried. This place is remote and few people come. If she had to go out by herself, it might be dark.

Although Miss Hoffman fell into the water and was startled, she got Mr. Wallace's attention, and Hathaway could also see that Mr. Wallace still cared about Miss Hoffman. Miss Hoffman As soon as he fell into the water, the gentleman was so shocked that he couldn't care about her.She hurt her foot but no one cared about her, and she felt depressed and uncomfortable again.

She turned her head and blamed herself again. She was annoyed by Mr. Wallace who circled around her on weekdays. She only thought about how to refuse Mr. Wallace when he proposed to her. Now this gentleman obeyed her wishes and ignored her. She felt uncomfortable again. Could it be that she is too hypocritical?In fact, she still cares about Mr. Wallace?She sat by the river and thought about this question carefully.

In fact, this problem is not difficult to understand, but if there is such a suitor around a woman, he pretends to be obsessed with you, but abandons you when you need it, and you will feel unhappy. It has nothing to do with love, just like a friend who is always with you by your side, one day she has a lover, and you are no longer the most important person in her heart, you must be a little bit jealous.Hathaway had such doubts in her heart only because she was still extremely immature emotionally.

At this moment, Hathaway recalled what Mr. Wallace said just now when he was about to propose marriage. Although she had always regarded Mr. Wallace as a young man with a simple mind and only wished to marry a girl he liked, but through his proposal just now , She had to consider that everything was her wishful thinking.Of course this gentleman hopes to find a lady who is pleasing to both sides, but this lady must also have a family background that matches his, with outstanding intelligence and good looks. Only in this way is his ideal candidate.Although Mr. Wallace's words are not touching, the sincerity and sincerity in them are obvious. However, in his words, he put the needs of the family first, and all the requirements are listed. Perhaps this This gentleman does have feelings of admiration for her, but that admiration is conditional. If she fails to meet one item, she dare not assume that this gentleman will show favor to her.She didn't want to understand this gentleman's behavior with malice, but she couldn't help but suspect that he gave up Miss Hoffman to show his love to her because her family background was more outstanding.

Of course, she would not naively hope that there would be a gentleman in this world who would not value her prominent family background, would not be aware of all her shortcomings because of her extraordinary appearance, and would simply admire her for herself.People in the world always put all kinds of conditions in front of love. If they can't meet it, they have to give up. How do they know whether it's the other party or their own pure heart that they are giving up?She also knows that the world is like this, and it has not changed for hundreds of years, but even if there is no one who is completely divorced from reality and loves her wholeheartedly, she still hopes to marry a husband who makes her heart beat.

Hathaway cheered up after being so grateful for a while. She had a lot of time to think about this kind of thing when she returned to the room. Now there is a practical problem in front of her. At this time, her ankle has become a steamed bun. She was in a cold sweat because of the pain when she moved even a little bit.

Fortunately, when she was worrying, there was a rustling sound in the woods, which was the sound of leather boots passing over the grass.In a blink of an eye a gentleman came out from behind the tree.

"Colonel Brandon!" No one could mistake the surprise in Hathaway's words. The gentleman standing in front of her is the culprit who caused this series of troubles. There is absolutely no one who slanders him so ignorantly.

The colonel's clothes were a little messy, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He frowned, his face was serious, and there was a lot of grass juice on the side of his boots. It seemed that he had walked a lot in this woods.The colonel walked up to Hathaway with big strides, and he squatted at Hathaway's feet without saying a word, holding Hathaway's left calf with one hand, and resting his other hand on her naked body naturally. Bare soles, the colonel's palms were a little sweaty as they held Hathaway's legs, making her extra sensitive. She shrank her feet in embarrassment, but the colonel's grip was not as tight as she wanted, and he pressed her ankle, and tried turning it again.

"Fortunately, there's nothing wrong with the bone. But it needs to rest for a few days." The gentleman didn't let out a sigh of relief, his brows frowned even tighter, and the serious Hathaway didn't dare to say anything.Then the gentleman naturally grabbed the socks at the side and put them on her feet, Hathaway was very sensible and did not refuse.

"Miss Butler, I'm afraid you can't walk by yourself now." Hathaway complained hard in her heart, even put on her socks herself and called her last name pretending to be polite. Is this gentleman right? How awkward!But due to the strong aura of this gentleman, she would never dare to resist.

She thought about the meaning of Colonel Brandon's words. She couldn't walk by herself, so she could only let him walk?She understood instantly. "Yes, I'm afraid it can't take on this important task now, so will you support me?"

Colonel Brandon gave Hathaway a meaningful look, and silently stepped forward to lift her up from the stone, holding her waist with both hands.No matter how cold his face was and how polite his words were, this gentleman was unexpectedly considerate and extremely gentle in his actions.

He held Hathaway's arm with one hand, and the other hand went from Hathaway's back around her armpit and clasped her waist tightly, almost half holding her in front of her chest, and he supported her like this He walked her into the woods, she had never experienced such an experience, the gentleman almost lifted her up and walked, every time her left foot just touched the ground, she felt his arm wrapped around her waist and lifted her up. When she woke up, she almost thought that the gravity in this world had become smaller.

"I ran into Mr. Wallace just now. He was in a hurry to take Miss Hoffman back to Rockfield to change clothes, so let me come to you first." Colonel Brandon explained the reason why he appeared here, but the words in his mouth But it is not true, although he met Mr. Wallace, but it was because he found Miss Winnes and asked about Hathaway's whereabouts, and then he saw Mr. Wallace rushing to see Huo Miss Fuman got into the car, but the gentleman didn't bother to look at him. He stopped Mr. Wallace to ask Hathaway, and finally found her after wandering in the woods for a long time.It can be said that if he hadn't tried so hard to find her, she would probably be dragging her feet back today.

He was angry at Mr. Wallace for leaving her alone in such a remote place, and he supported Miss Hoffman with such affection that he didn't even think of sending a message for Hathaway; he was also angry at her for being so unhappy. Cautiously going to such a secluded place with Mr. Wallace, he couldn't help but worry about what the two of them said and did here.

The two walked like this for a while, and Hathaway noticed that Colonel Brandon's forehead was sweating a lot again, because the gentleman's height was much lower than hers. She visually estimated that the colonel was nearly 190 centimeters taller than Andrew. She is taller, but she herself is only 166 centimeters. The difference of more than 20 centimeters makes the colonel bend her body when walking with her arms around her. She is injured and walks slowly, and she will not arrogantly say that she is completely light Nothing, so the colonel's hard work can be imagined.

Hathaway couldn't help but said compassionately: "Why don't you take a rest before leaving?"

Colonel Brandon asked suspiciously: "Are you tired?" Hathaway shook her head lightly, pointed to the colonel's head, and then took out a light yellow handkerchief from her body. Hathaway saw that the colonel hadn't picked it up. In the past, I could only raise my hand shyly and gently wiped his forehead.

The woods were extremely quiet, Hathaway leaned against Colonel Brandon, her eyes slowly moved from the Colonel's forehead to his eyes, the Colonel has a pair of good eyes, not gentle and beautiful, his eyebrows are pressed It is very low, and the eye sockets are deep-set, so the eyes look extremely energetic. When he becomes serious, the eyes are sharp and knife-like across the person's body, making people unable to bear to look at him.As for now, those eyes became piercing, and their eyes were so deep that they almost sucked her in like a whirlpool on the bottom of the sea.

Hathaway stared at these eyes fascinated and could hardly move her eyes away. She felt her heart beating violently again. The colonel's face seemed to be slowly approaching. The breaths of both of them were intertwined. Servi took the handkerchief out of her hand and silently put it in her pocket.

The colonel straightened up and looked away, he turned his face away, "I'm not tired, let's go on."

Hathaway woke up suddenly, she lowered her head and silently followed the colonel's pace.She felt as if her face was burning. How could she have felt that the colonel was going to bow his head to kiss her just now? She was so shameless!What's even more embarrassing is that she didn't intend to refuse just now, but she was still a little bit disappointed.Is it time for a rut?

The two walked for a while, and it was already dark at this time, and it was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the outing was almost over. If they couldn't go back on time, Andrew might come to find her with great fanfare, but the distance But just halfway through, she couldn't help becoming anxious.

Before she could speak first, Colonel Brandon had already noticed, "We have to hurry back before the sun goes down, otherwise Andrew will make this matter known to everyone." After speaking, he looked at Hathaway.

Hathaway was full of doubts, and she knew the situation very well. The two of them had only walked halfway without stopping. The speed could not be faster, but what did he mean by that?

Colonel Brandon no longer had the intention to hide himself. He first let go of Hathaway and moved his body, "I'm sorry."

Hathaway leaned her head against Colonel Brandon's neck, blushing, thinking that this gentleman said at the beginning that she could not walk by herself, but the subtext was actually that he could carry her away...
