Affectionate female partner and Bai Yueguang's sister HE

Coming out of the Strawberry Garden, Shao Peiran was about to walk towards the hotel when someone pulled the hem of his clothes.

She looked back at He Baizhou, with a look of doubt on her face.

"In no hurry to go back, I'll take you somewhere." He Baizhou said.

She turned around and walked in the other direction.Shao Peiran followed her, and couldn't help asking, "Where is this going? Are you sure you really know the way?"

"Don't worry, I asked beforehand." He Baizhou said.

The two walked along the mountain road—after a while, they heard the sound of gurgling water.

"Here we are." He Baizhou walked a few steps quickly, turned his head to greet Shao Peiran, "It's here."

Shao Peiran didn't take it seriously at first, and walked over—look, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

They are located at a relatively high position, and the road was originally covered by trees on both sides, so they can only see it when they get here. Below is a clear mountain stream with gurgling water.On the other side of the stream is a gentle hillside, which is covered with a small light blue flower, and the green grass is lined with blue flowers, like a beautiful carpet laid there, so beautiful.

Especially when this scene appeared in an instant, without any preparation in advance, the impact would be even greater.

"Does it look good?" He Baizhou turned his head and asked her with a smile.

"How do you know?" Shao Peiran asked.

He Baizhou just laughed, "Of course someone told me. This hot spring hotel is opened by a friend of my brother's. I accidentally saw the photo, and immediately wanted to get up with you."

"Thank you then."

"Let's go, let's go down." He Baizhou pointed to the steep slope ahead, "The road is not easy to walk, so be careful."

Shao Peiran - Look, he found that it was not a road at all, it was just a steep slope, and there were a few pits stepped on by people, where he could use his strength.Fortunately, they were out to play, and both of them were wearing flat shoes, otherwise they couldn't walk at all.

"Doesn't your brother's friend consider repairing this road?" She couldn't help laughing and asked, "At least make a decent road."

"Maybe it's not too late." He Baizhou shrugged, changed the basket in his hand to the other hand, stepped on it carefully, turned around again, and stretched out his hand to Shao Peiran, "Shall I pull you?"

Shao Peiran took one look at her and put his hand on hers.

Probably because they held hands last night, although both of them tacitly refused to mention it, there are still some differences after all, and there is no need to alienate them now.

The water in the stream is very shallow, and considering He Baizhou's height, it probably only reaches her calves, so the bottom is clearly visible.

There is no mud at the bottom of the water, but fine sand. From time to time, you can see a round pebble or white quartz stone between the sand and gravel, which reflects a beautiful luster under the sunlight.

Shao Peiran squatted down by the stream, put his hands into the water, and was immediately shocked by the chilly temperature.

"It's so cool!" He Baizhou also stretched out his hand to touch it, and then happily put the whole basket in his hand into the water, "The water is so cold, soaking strawberries in it for a while, it should be similar to iced ones, right? "

Seeing this, Shao Peiran also put the basket in his hand into it.

The stream gently washes over the strawberries, washing the bright red color even more lovely.He Baizhou stared at it for a while, then stretched out his hand to pick out the hottest and biggest one, and handed it to Shao Peiran's lips, "Try it?"

"You are too impatient, how long will it be?" Shao Peiran laughed.

That's what she said, but she still opened her lips to hold the strawberry in her mouth.This strawberry was not small, as big as half a palm, and couldn't eat it, so she had to reach out to pick it up.

He Baizhou withdrew his hand, but couldn't take his eyes off her lips for a while.Shao Peiran took a bite of the strawberry, and there was some bright red juice on his lips.Her lips were originally light in color, but they were beautifully shaped without too much texture. They looked very soft and were dyed with red strawberry juice, making them even more attractive.

Shao Peiran didn't notice this, stuck out his tongue and pursed his lower lip.

He Baizhou quickly looked away.

"Very sweet." Shao Peiran commented.It didn't rain much during this period, and the strawberries were grown in the open air, and they were exposed to the sun, so the taste was naturally very sweet.As she spoke, she picked one from her basket and handed it to He Baizhou.

I don't know if the strawberries are really sweet, or the person who handed them is very sweet, He Baizhou took a bite and felt that sweet taste seemed to flow from his mouth to his heart.

There was a brief silence between the two—a little while.

Shao Peiran glanced casually across the water, and suddenly noticed a beautiful color.She stretched out her hand and fished out from the bottom of the water a stone that was rounded by the current.This knuckle-sized stone is white as a whole, but light blue stripes are attached to the surface. Although it is not transparent, it looks more simple and elegant.

"It's so beautiful." Shao Peiran admired it for a while, and couldn't help but praise.

She wanted to look for others, but unfortunately, although the rocks at the bottom of the water were colorful, yellow, red, and white, they were all very broken gravel, and there were not many beautiful ones like this.

"If you like, we can walk up the stream to see if there is anything else." He Baizhou said upon seeing this.

Shao Peiran readily agreed, and the two put the strawberry basket here and walked up the stream.

The air in the mountains was refreshing, and Shao Peiran's attention quickly shifted away from the stream and turned to the scenery on both sides.But He Baizhou was much more serious than her, staring straight at the water, as if he wanted to find a beautiful stone.

When Shao Peiran turned his head to look at her occasionally, he always felt that she was a little silly like this, which made people feel soft-hearted.

Lu also picked up a lot of stones, but in Shao Peiran's opinion, none of them could compare to the one he picked up for the first time.Probably this kind of thing also needs fate.But He Baizhou refused to give up, the two walked up the road and came to a rocky beach.

The stream flowed down from the mountain, gathered here, and rushed out of a relatively flat river valley, with scattered gravel everywhere, including many large stones.

He Baizhou still couldn't find the rock he wanted, but accidentally picked up two crabs the size of his thumb when turning over the rock.When she saw it suddenly, she was startled-jumping.

He Baizhou: "..."

Seeing the dazed expression on her face, Shao Peiran couldn't help laughing, "It's pretty good, you can take it back to the kitchen, it's also today's harvest."

"Forget it, let them thrive here." He Baizhou sighed and put the crab back under the rock.The little crab was very vigilant, and the moment it landed, it lay down in the sand and was out of sight.

He Baizhou pushed back the removed stone again, and even patted it.

Shao Peiran turned away to prevent her from seeing the obvious smile on his face, "It's getting late, it's probably okay to continue walking up, let's go back."

He Baizhou also felt that there was no hope, so he nodded in agreement.But when she turned her head, the corners of her eyes suddenly swept red, and she hurriedly looked carefully, but it was the tossing just now that washed away some of the nearby sand, revealing half of the red stone.

Although it is only half in length, it looks very red and transparent.He Baizhou stretched out his hand to pick it up—look, although this stone is not perfectly round, it is elongated, but overall it is very transparent, with a bright red color floating in it, like a piece of the fire cloud falling from the sky.

Finally he had harvested, He Baizhou was in a good mood, cleaned the stone, and handed it to Shao Peiran, "Look!"

"Very beautiful." Shao Peiran praised pertinently.

These two people have seen many good things in normal times, but at this time, the joy and sense of accomplishment they got for the two worthless stones they picked up from the water was not a little bit less.

When they came back, the strawberries had been soaked for a while, and the coolness of the stream seeped into them, making them taste even more delicious.

He Baizhou picked up the basket and said to Shao Peiran, "Let's go to the opposite hillside and find a place to sit down. It's a pity that there are only strawberries, otherwise it would be nice to have a picnic here."

Shao Peiran glanced over there and thought it was a good idea.

Seeing that she didn't object, He Baizhou was ready to step across the water.This creek is not wide, only a little more than a meter. It should not be a problem, but the stream has been washed away for many years, and the seemingly solid ground on both sides has already been soaked by the stream. He Baizhou stepped on it. , but the soil sank, causing her uncontrollable footsteps to slip, and almost split her fork.

He Baizhou didn't dare to look at the expression on Shao Peiran's face.It's such a shame that something so simple could go wrong.

However, in her position, she could not use any strength on both sides, so she had to ask Shao Peiran for help.

Shao Peiran was very face-saving, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull him back.But He Baizhou—turning his head, saw her pursing her lips, trying to hold back a smile.

"Laugh if you want." She couldn't help but sigh.

Shao Peiran really laughed out loud. Seeing her secretly reaching out and rubbing her thigh, she felt that the other party had an unspeakable cuteness in her pity, so the smile on her face never faded away.

He Baizhou learned his lesson and chose a place where the water surface was relatively narrow. The two finally crossed the stream and reached the other side of the hillside.

Picking a place with the best view, she put down the basket, sat down on the grass, turned her head and saw Shao Peiran who was squatting on the side looking at the flowers, still smiling, and couldn't help but get angry. Lightly touch the tip of Shao Peiran's nose with his fingers still stained with water.

Shao Peiran was caught off guard by her, only felt the tip of his nose - cold, and subconsciously leaned back.

But she forgot that she was squatting now, so she leaned forward, the center of gravity of her body was disrupted, and she fell on the grass.However, she was not in a hurry to get up, but quickly grabbed He Baizhou's fingers and asked her, "What do you want to do?"

"I was wrong, I didn't want to do anything." He Baizhou readily admitted his mistake.

Shao Peiran thought for a while, grabbed her wrist, and was about to wipe his wet hand on He Baizhou's face.

Of course He Baizhou wouldn't sit still and struggle while dodging.In the end, Shao Peiran successfully achieved his goal, but his own hands were also firmly held by He Baizhou.

The movements of the two stopped at some point, their eyes met, and they both felt the invisible sticky breath in the air.They just looked at each other silently for a while, until a gust of mountain wind blew by, and He Baizhou woke up first.

At this time, she should let go of Shao Peiran's hand, but He Baizhou was a little reluctant.

Inviting Shao Peiran to travel with him, and to come to the wilderness so far away from the crowd, He Baizhou naturally had a plan.

After Shao Peiran accepted her invitation and moved into the house she selected and decorated, He Baizhou felt that the two of them could make further progress.Since the other party didn't reject her, of course he had to take advantage of this opportunity to push her forward.

It's a pity that Shao Peiran was on a business trip immediately, so even though she had countless ideas, she had no chance to implement them.

So when she came back, He Baizhou made a decisive decision and invited her to play on the mountain.

It can't be said that everything was planned in advance, but she did think that, leaving the usual living environment, both of them could relax more, which would bring the distance between them closer.

The atmosphere is right now, and it is undoubtedly the opportunity she wanted. It would be a pity if it ended like this.

She held Shao Peiran's hand, her voice was a little tight, "Actually, I have learned to read palmistry before, do you want to try it?"

"Huh?" Shao Peiran's reaction was a little slow, as if he didn't understand her meaning for a while.

He Baizhou took it as her consent.

Of course she has never learned how to read palmistry, but the knowledge of what each line of palm lines represents, because it is too widely spread, she has heard of it more or less. Anyway, she doesn't really want to read palmistry. Just put it mildly.

Thinking of this, she gently grasped the fingers of Shao Peiran's right hand and spread her palm completely.

Shao Peiran's palm prints are shallow and messy.Before He Baizhou discerned the three lines on her palm, the first thing he noticed was the scar that traversed the entire palm.

Although the scar is already very light, but at a glance, it can be seen that it is a scar, not the original lines.If you look closely, all three of her palm lines are also cut off by this scar, and even one of them is completely balanced with it.

No matter how sharp He Baizhou's tongue is, he probably doesn't know how to speak at this moment.What's more, she has never been a person who is good at eloquence, and she couldn't help being stunned for a while.

It's hard to imagine how such an injury occurred, and how much pain Shao Peiran endured at that time.

But in a blink of an eye, He Baizhou seemed to suddenly understand why at the age of 15, Lin Miaoran suddenly disappeared from the public, and then turned into Shao Peiran.

Because the hands playing the piano were ruined by a wound, completely losing their dexterity and sharpness.

What happened that year?

Even though He Baizhou only peeked at the tip of the iceberg, he couldn't help but secretly startled, but what would the whole situation look like?

In an instant, these thoughts flashed through my mind one by one.Almost subconsciously, He Baizhou gently stroked the scar with his fingers, as if in this way, he could remove a little bit of pain for Shao Peiran at that time through a distant time and space.

But this action made Shao Peiran's fingers tremble, and he was completely awake.

She subconsciously withdrew her hand, exerting so much force, if He Baizhou hadn't let go immediately, she might have been injured.

He Baizhou forcibly controlled himself, so he didn't show any expression on his face.When she saw Shao Peiran slightly curling up that hand, as if she could hide everything in this way, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

She immediately said, "Okay, physiognomy and so on are superstitions, so forget it if you don't like it."

As he spoke, he brought over the basket that had been placed beside him before, and changed the subject, "Eat strawberries. It was soaked in cold after a long time. If you don't eat any more, it will get hot again after being exposed to the sun."

Then without any explanation, he stuffed two strawberries into Shao Peiran's hand.

Shao Peiran looked at her for a while, lowered his eyes, pinched the stem of the strawberry, and slowly took a bite.With a sweet and slightly cool taste spreading in her mouth, she slowly calmed down and suppressed all her emotions.

Afterwards, He Baizhou found two relatively safe topics. Seeing that he successfully diverted Shao Peiran's attention away and started talking and laughing again, he relaxed.

The basket was small and there were not many strawberries. He Baizhou gave the last strawberry to Shao Peiran, threw the basket away, and lay down casually on the grass. He spread his body and said with a smile, "It's so comfortable on the mountain. No matter how delicately and beautifully constructed the garden is, there is no such scenery."

Seeing Shao Peiran looking at her, she patted the grass beside her, "Aren't you lying down? It's very comfortable." After a pause, she said deliberately, "I'll wash your clothes if they get dirty."

Shao Peiran couldn't help laughing, glanced at her, and then lay down.

On the sky above her head, the sunshine of June poured down unhindered, covering her body, quickly dispelling that cold feeling completely.

Shao Peiran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Her schedule for the past two days has been so messed up that she has completely broken her biological clock.It was still morning, and under the warm sunlight, the whole person fell asleep.

The sun was dazzling, Shao Peiran turned sideways and looked at He Baizhou who was lying beside him.

As if aware of her movements, He Baizhou also changed his posture sideways and looked at her.Looking at it, she suddenly laughed.

Shao Peiran was a little confused, "What are you laughing at?"

He Baizhou reached out and stroked her temples, and said with a smile, "Here is a flower, it looks like it just happened to be on your head."

"Aren't you the same?" Shao Peiran retorted.

He Baizhou just laughed, "Yeah, we're all the same." At this moment, she suddenly remembered a little poem, and said softly, "If you get mountain flowers all over your head, don't ask where the slave will go."

"Do you know what this word is about, just read it." Shao Peiran couldn't help asking.

"What are you writing about?" He Baizhou grew up abroad. Although he had memorized a lot of ancient prose, he still couldn't explain the allusions clearly, so he couldn't help asking.

Shao Peiran smiled and didn't answer her, just said, "Go back and read more books."

According to legend, this is a poem written by a prostitute to defend herself after being falsely imprisoned. The beautiful words and sentences are only superficial, and the inner struggle, resistance and yearning for freedom are the real meaning.Although the things written in this word have nothing to do with Shao Peiran, but for some reason, listening to it now, I can't help but feel full of sighs.

People live in the world, maybe everyone is struggling.

In this way, she is actually quite lucky.For example, Yan Rui, even though she is talented and self-confident, the best ending is to be a concubine for a clan.And her fate, at least, is in her own hands.

She was indeed free now.

There was a sudden coolness on his cheeks, Shao Peiran came back to his senses, and saw that He Baizhou had approached him at some point, very close, and was staring at her intently.

"What?" she asked in a low voice.

"I was wrong before." He Baizhou said, "Although you look good when you smile, if you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."

Shao Peiran felt that something was really wrong with him today, and his nose was sour by such an unreasonable remark, and his eyes immediately felt a little wet.Fearing that tears would flow out, she could only open her eyes wide and look at each other.

He Baizhou felt that his heart was completely captured by the other party's sight, and he couldn't escape.

She lowered her head involuntarily, and placed a kiss as light as a feather on the tip of Shao Peiran's nose.

The author has something to say: the addition of 50 mines.

I was stupid when counting landmines, I always felt that there should not be so many.After thinking about it carefully, oh... Sham Shui added more.

It's not love Fengchen, it seems to be mistaken by the front.Flowers bloom from time to time, always the monarch of Lai Dong.

If you go, you must go, and if you live, how do you live?If the head is covered with mountain flowers, don't ask where the slave returns.

——Yan Rui's "Bu Suanzi"

The story of Yan Rui was found in Hong Mai's "Yi Jian Zhi", and was later written by Ling Mochu in "Second Moments of Surprise".

Probably it was about her contacts with Tang Zhongyou, the prefect of Taizhou. Zhu Xi used this incident to impeach Tang Zhongyou, saying that she was "immoral", and arrested her and put her in prison for torture.

This matter was discussed by the government and the public, which shocked Song Xiaozong.Xiaozong believed that it was "a talent fighting for leisure", so he transferred Zhu Xi to Yue Lin, a descendant of Yue Fei, to serve as a criminal prisoner.Yan Rui's "Bu Suanzi·Isn't Ai Fengchen" self-identification, Yue Lin was sentenced to be good, and was later taken as a concubine by Zhao Song's imperial family.

Of course, some people think that the whole story is fictitious, just made up to contradict Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
