lake garden moon

When Kang Zhier came out of Meiweis Mansion, it was quite dark at this time.The moon followed his shadow on the road.

The forest tunnel at night is quiet and deep, with branches hanging down from time to time, and then slowly spreading forward, leading to the Lake Garden at the foot of the mountain.Kang Zhier walked among them, and the night wind with plant aroma came towards him, continuously fermenting the alcohol in his body.

As he walked, Kang Zhier became interested, and stretched out his arms happily, as if he was just a child, and touched the trees on the roadside one by one with his fingers.

Feeling the dry and hard bark of the forest trees on the mountain with his fingertips, he swayed along the mountain road, and finally accidentally bumped into a big tree that missed the line halfway.

Kang Zhier stopped in front of the tree, his palms resting on his heart, still in shock.

"Scare me."

After he calmed down a bit, he raised his head and found that the big tree in front of him, which was not properly arranged in line, not only had a thicker trunk than the other trees, but also had a much denser cover than the others.

In the next second, Elvis' face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You, you, you, as long as you are tall and special, you don't have to wait in line." Kang Zhier stood in front of the tree and criticized and educated it.

As he spoke, he raised his back, frowned and said to the tree: "You have a personality, everyone else celebrates birthdays, only you don't like it."

During dinner, Mavis mentioned their upcoming wedding anniversary, saying that it would be held in the Lake Gardens in order to accommodate more guests.

Berkley didn't stay in the south very much and was not familiar with the internal management of Lake Garden, so he was quite surprised by Mavis' decision.

"Will Elvis have a problem?" she asked.

Mavis shrugged like her teenage character, and replied to Berkari: "What can he have an opinion on?"

"In a mansion as big as Lake Garden, there should be frequent receptions and dinners to have fun."

Then, she shook her head again, and revealed to Bojiali in a slightly speechless manner: "Elvis is a person who lacks joy in life. He has such a big garden mansion, and he doesn't even have birthdays every year."

"Employees from other families think it's too troublesome to prepare a banquet." At the end, she still didn't forget to tease, "Only Lake Garden, they hope you can use his place to hold a lively reception."

"I don't believe it," Meiweis said, turning to Kang Zhier, and told Bojiali, "You can ask Xiaozhi, his childhood birthdays were all spent in Lake Garden."

When Bojiali looked over, Kang Zhier smiled politely at her, and nodded a little embarrassedly.

Indeed, as Mavis said, before the age of seven, his birthdays were all spent in Lake Garden.

In the middle of the mountain under the moon, the towering trees blend with the darkness, like silent giants.

Kang Zhier muttered to himself, but didn't reply.Later, he felt tired, walked forward wearily, and stretched out his arms to wrap around the big tree.

"Don't think I don't know."

At this time, he was completely drunk and didn't know what he was doing, he just hugged the big shady tree and murmured: "Elvis, don't think I don't know why you don't like birthdays. "

At ten o'clock in the evening, Kang Zhier returned to Lake Garden.

He walked slowly in the dark, past the well-trimmed bushes in the garden, and then staggered towards the mansion according to the route he remembered.

Bandari sat on the porch waiting for him, and as soon as he saw him come back through the garden, he got up and approached him.

When Kang Zhier went up the steps, his footsteps were weak, he staggered and almost fell, but fortunately Bandari helped him up in time.

When he steadied himself, he looked up, saw Bandari, and grinned at him.

"Bandari."

"Xiaozhi, you've been drinking." Bandari looked at him very concerned.

"Well," Kang Zhier nodded to Bandari with a smile, sharing his knowledge with him as he did when he was a child, "I was so happy at Sister Meivis's house tonight, and I also met Sister Kerry."

"Ah."

Bandari nodded slightly in response to him, then helped him turn around and walked slowly towards the gate.

"You can ask Zheng Tong to pick you up next time," he told Kang Zhier as he walked, "it's not safe to walk at night when you're drunk."

"it is good."

Kang Zhier agreed immediately, but forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

When he reached the stairs, Kang Zhier stopped, turned around and said to Bandari: "Okay, Bandari, just send me here."

"It's okay, I'll take you up." Bandari said very sweetly.

"No need for Bandari," Kang Zhier waved at him, telling him, "I'm not that drunk, I can go upstairs by myself."

"But……"

"Bandari, go back and rest." Kang Zhier raised his hand to block his shoulders, preventing him from going upstairs. "The knees will hurt again later."

Seeing Kang Zhier's expression, Bandari gave up his insistence and nodded gently.

"Well, I'll watch you go up here."

"Ah."

Kang Zhier nodded slowly, then turned around and held the handle and climbed up the stairs step by step.

After walking up to the second floor, Kang Zhier turned around, and Bandari was still looking at him on the first floor.

"Go back to sleep, Bandari." Kang Zhier leaned forward and waved to him.

"Okay," Bandari put his hands on the armrest and smiled quietly at him, "Good night Xiaozhi."

"Good night, Bandari."

They said goodbye on the landing.

Going up to the third floor, Kang Zhier suddenly felt drowsy and felt a little dizzy. He leaned against the handrail for a while, and then slowly straightened up.

The corridor lights on the third floor were turned on alternately, alternating light and dark, like some three-dimensional trompe l'oeil.

Kang Zhier was a little dazed, and stood at the stairs in a daze for a long time before taking another step.He walked forward along the curved corridor, and there was a small piece of light on the blanket on the ground in front of him, which was the light coming from under the crack of the door.

Guided by the small square light, Kang Zhier walked forward step by step until he reached the lighted door, and he pressed the handle to open the door and enter.

"finally reached."

Kang Zhier was very familiar with his bedroom. After entering, he closed the door with his backhand, and then began to take off his clothes.

He was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyelids open, but he was able to take off his coat without any mistakes, and then he found pajamas from the closet next to him and changed into them.

After changing into pajamas, Kang Zhier drooped his eyelids, staggered to the bathroom relying only on the slit of light under his eyelids and his muscle memory, staggered out of the bathroom after a brief wash.

He was extremely sleepy, and when he stepped out of the bathroom, he almost slipped. Fortunately, the coat rack by the bathroom door saved him.

After Kang Zhier stabilized his center of gravity, he held on to the coat rack and yawned big.

"Very sleepy."

While he was yawning, he had already spotted the bed not far away from the corner of his eye, and he was attracted to it like a magnet after he stood up straight.

Kang Zhier almost fell down as soon as he touched the bed.The quilt was soft and fragrant, with a pleasant warmth.Kang Zhier put his head on the pillow, and the moment he pulled the quilt over, he had already fallen asleep.

This was the deepest sleep Kang Zhier had since arriving in Lake Garden. He didn't wake up once during the journey, and even the wind and rain outside couldn't wake him up.

His memory was still stuck in the last light of last night, when he woke up, the sky outside was bright.

The bright sunlight caused Kang Zhier to close his eyes before he had time to open them.He dawdled in the quilt for a while, and finally sat up with the quilt under his weight.

As soon as he sat up, Kang Zhier's head was like an iron ball that was off its axis, and it was so heavy that it drooped immediately.He felt that his body was like an oasis that had been drained of water, leaving only a piece of barren sand; and there seemed to be countless rusty gears embedded in his limbs and neck, and the sound of bones grinding could be heard every time they turned.

"I'm so thirsty..." The moment Kang Zhier opened his mouth, he found that his voice was very hoarse.

He held his head, reached for the bedside table, reached for the water glass, took it back and took a sip.

It wasn't until he drank half a glass of water that Kang Zhier felt the blood in his body start to flow.

He bent his neck, supported his forehead for a while, and raised his head slowly.

At this time, Kang Zhier had completely adapted to the indoor light.He opened his eyes very shallowly, at first he only raised them a little, but after noticing some differences, he raised them again, and then raised them again, and finally the eyes were all opened.

Kang Zhier sat on the bed, holding the remaining half glass of water in his hand.He looked out along the long edge of the bed, and after confirming himself countless times in his heart, he confirmed that it was the familiar and strange bedroom in his memory.

He wanted to get up, but his limbs suddenly became weak, and the water glass in his hand almost lost its grip, and it fell on Elvis' quilt.
