Crossing into Elizabeth Bennet

He raised his chin critically.

"Yes, it's not the most outstanding appearance if you don't know how to talk to people."

Mrs. Hurst responded immediately.

"I don't think she has any merits at all except for her good feet. You also saw her this morning, and I think, I will never forget, she dared to walk in, my God~"

Miss Bingley held her forehead in a dazed gesture, full of irony.

"Caroline, I don't think you saw her petticoat, I can't believe it."

"I see, Louisa, there's a full six inches of mud. Even if she deliberately lowered the skirt, she can't hide this fact."

"I do not think so,"

Mr. Bingley could not resist the conversation of the sisters,

"I think Elizabeth's appearance this morning is very charming. I don't think her dirty dress has any effect on her beauty and character because she is eager to take care of her sick sister."

Miss Bingley ignored Mr. Bingley's speech, but turned to Mr. Darcy, evidently wishing to hear Darcy support her ideas.

"I think you must have seen it, Mr. Darcy. If it was you, you would not want to see your sister make yourself into such a mess."

"I really don't want to."

Darcy replied calmly, and the Elizabeth he saw this morning couldn't help coming to mind, how shocked he was at that time.

How could he have imagined that the girl he had been waiting for all morning would actually walk over from Longbourn on foot.

Darcy resented Mr. Bennet's indiscretion. How could he let his young and beautiful lady walk so long alone?

"Sure enough, he's from the country. He doesn't know etiquette. He's crazy. He really lacks family education."

Miss Bingley saw that Darcy's face was a little gloomy, and she tried harder to blame Lizzy.

"It's just a testament to the deep bond between their sisters."

Mr. Bingley defends Lizzy.

"After her imprudence, I wonder, Mr. Darcy, are you still fascinated by her intelligence?"

Miss Bingley again ignored her brother, and looked Darcy directly in the eyes, asking eccentrically.

"On the contrary, Miss Bingley, she is more deserving of my attention."

After Darcy finished speaking, he picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth where there were no food stains, stood up and ended the meal.

The room fell silent, and everyone seemed to have no more topics to talk about.

But Darcy was obviously not affected, he took his leave politely and left the restaurant.

All the people present watched Darcy leave until the door closed again.Mrs. Hurst spoke again:

"Jane Bennet is a good girl, I still like her a lot, and I sincerely hope she recovers as soon as possible."

"I also sincerely hope that she will have a good marriage. It's a pity that she has such parents and many relatives who are not in the same class."

"Yes, but that's all she has to hope for."

"I hear she has an uncle who is a solicitor in Meryton?"

"Yes, not only that, they also have an uncle~"

"It's wonderful, what a strange family."

Mr. Bingley's two sisters laughed at the relatives of the Bennet family to themselves.

"Even so, it can't affect their cuteness."

Mr. Bingley gave a rare cry of dissatisfaction.

It's just that he didn't have much prestige in front of his sisters, so their laughter didn't stop him.

Lizzy returned to Jiying and fed her some white water.Seeing her fall into a deep sleep again, she was relieved.

Lizzy carefully closed the door, planning to go downstairs to borrow a book to read.Being alone in a daze is just too boring.

"Good evening, Eliza."

"what--"

Lizzy covered her mouth, holding down the scream that had slipped to her mouth.

She couldn't help staring at Darcy reproachfully, blaming him for being silent.

Darcy's expression has softened a lot, perhaps because Lizzy no longer puts on a posture of repelling people thousands of miles away.

Although they couldn't be said to be as close as he hoped, they shouldn't be so distant either.

"Mr. Darcy, you are too rude. Are you trying to scare me?"

After all, Lizzy couldn't pretend to be calm in front of Darcy.

"If you think so."

Darcy really wanted to continue teasing the girl, so as to relieve the depression and boredom accumulated in the past two days.

However, looking at Lizzy's angry little face, he still thought it would be better not to piss her off anymore, after all, the girl had lost her temper with him for no reason before.

So he immediately changed the subject,

"How is Miss Bennet?"

Lizzy, who was about to explode, heard Darcy greeting her sister, so she couldn't say anything, but there was a hint of worry in her expression.

"Jeying's illness is not getting any better."

"Don't worry too much, Eliza."

Darcy didn't want to see such a sad expression on the girl he liked, which reminded her again of Lizzy at the end of the ball two days ago.

He took a step forward subconsciously, and the finger he raised instinctively was within six inches of Lizzy's cheek.

Lizzy was stunned by Darcy's actions, she looked up at the man in front of her in disbelief.

Darcy was also taken aback, obviously he didn't expect that he could not help approaching him regardless of etiquette.

After realizing his movement, he immediately lowered his arms and took a step back.

Lizzy's ear tips also became more rosy.

She lowered her head, fiddling with the ribbon on the dress with her fingers restlessly.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

In order to hide their embarrassment, the two walked slowly in the not-so-short corridor.

Perhaps Darcy was worried that being too quiet would make Lizzy more uncomfortable, so he simply picked up a topic, but accidentally brought up a question that made Lizzy a little uncomfortable.

"No...no. I'm fine."

In order to prove that what she said was true, Lizzy also deliberately nodded to enhance the effect.

"Your complexion is very bad."

Darcy expressed doubts. He was actually quite a child.

I always like to argue about what I believe.There is a posture of not shedding tears when he sees the coffin, and not looking back until he hits the south wall. Coupled with the years of growing up, he rarely made mistakes.

So, this man is still very arrogant.

Moreover, his blank relationship experience made him inexperienced in pleasing women.

This caused Lizzy to cry at this time.

How was she going to tell Darcy that it was her insomnia caused by being angry with him.

She didn't want to admit it, as if she cared about him so much.

"You...you read wrong."

"Elizabeth Bennet, don't quibble, I believe my eyes, your spirit is very bad, it can be said to be terrible. Your face is also terribly pale, I think you should follow my advice and supplement your nutrition, don't let it go any longer. Sexual diet. The beauty of women is not obtained by discarding health!!"

"what?"

Lizzy was dumbfounded. It never occurred to her that Darcy would think of this.

She is so wronged that she didn't go on a diet to lose weight.

And, does her figure need to lose weight?Do you need it? Do you need it? Do you need it... Lizzy is resentful.

In Darcy's eyes, is she really that fat?

No - plump!Is it plump—?

Darcy was puzzled, he blinked his eyes, and turned his head to look at the black-smelling Lizzy in puzzlement.

He had a good mind, so his thoughts turned quickly, so he took it for granted that Lizzy was depressed.

"Eliza, don't be picky! You—"

Darcy, who was about to continue preaching and try to correct Lizzy's misconceptions, felt his right cuff being pulled.Looking down, it turned out to be Lizzy.

The girl who was drooping her head just now, now was blinking her big watery eyes pitifully, and pouted her small mouth in aggrieved way, like a kitten acting coquettishly.

"Darcy, am I on a diet yet?"

"what?"

Obviously, Darcy underestimated a woman's obsession with her body.Lizzy took another step closer to Darcy, raised her head, weeping.

"Am I really that bloated?"

Darcy's face was also red, and he turned away, not daring to look at the charming face close at hand.

He even took a step back carefully.But Lizzy didn't intend to let Darcy go, she continued to approach, as if she would not stop until Darcy's answer was forced.

"No... no, not at all, I... I think it's just right, I... I—"

Darcy shut his mouth tightly and swallowed the words 'I like it very much'.

"I'll just say, people are paying attention."

Satisfied, Lizzy stepped back to a safe distance and clapped her hands happily.

Didn't notice Darcy's unnaturalness at all.

Of course, she didn't even realize that she had teased Darcy just now.

"Eliza."

Darcy gritted his teeth, uttering Lizzy's name word by word, quite a bit like gnashing his teeth.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Lizzy's little face was full of innocence.

Darcy didn't know what to do.

Of course, maybe this shrewd person may not really be unable to take Lizzy, just because his heart belongs to him.

A woman's weapon will only be effective if it is used on someone who also loves you, which is probably what it means.

Darcy stopped talking angrily, and he tasted the feeling of being speechless for the first time.

"Darcy, can you lend me a book?"

Lizzy suddenly thought of the purpose of going downstairs this time.Put your hands together immediately.

She could also ask Mr. Bingley to borrow a book.It's just that, compared with it, she seems to be more familiar with Darcy.

Besides, she felt that she would be very happy to be able to hold the books Darcy had read.this small
