One of Ouyang Shaogong's colleagues, Chang'an

The girl looked at him for a while, and saw that his expression was calm and indifferent, staring at the floating lamp on the other side for a long time without saying a word, there seemed to be a hint of alienation and sadness between his brows, the autumn colors were rolling, and the waves were cold and green.

She felt sad in her heart, and she couldn't help but follow him and sit beside him silently.

The faint light gradually drifts away, and when it passes by, it is as bright as fireworks and rosy clouds, but as it passes away in the east, it is as dim as the morning star, and finally melts into the vast night.

"Ancient and modern sages are like illusions and dreams. Even if they are magnificent, they can't resist the shadow of the sun flying away. What is there in this world that lasts forever?"

In the unspeakable silence, he suddenly sighed softly, as if speaking to himself or her.

"If the water flows slower—or if you stare at it, you won't miss too much beauty—"

She whispered like talking to herself, like comforting.

"Lantern festivals are magnificent, and there will be an end. Isn't life just like sailing a boat at night, in the darkness, sometimes the eyes are full of brilliance, and sometimes you can't see your fingers, but the lights will be extinguished and the boat will stop. The age, life and death are beyond the imagination of mortals, and there is nothing they can do--"

He no longer deliberately restrained his face, and his expression gradually filled with a strong look of sorrow, and the flowers fell down, and snow piled up on his body.

She lowered her eyes and said nothing, and she couldn't say words of consolation. There was so much sadness in his heart, no wonder his expression was faintly cold just now when he clearly knew the deep affection.

Can't help but lightly clasp his wrist which was gathered in the deep sleeve.

He suddenly raised his eyes and saw her mournful expression, he just came back to his senses and apologized: "

I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue--it's just a bit of a spoiler, every time you see prosperity, you will feel withered, so please don't blame it. "

She shook her head, trying to say something, but felt it was useless, she just stared at him silently with a compassionate expression.

It is hard to imagine such a look in the eyes of a child.

His heart was trembling, and he felt that the soul hidden in this petite body was so unusual, maybe it had an unknown secret like him--her kindness and compassion seemed to be born with kindness and tolerance, as if deep valley river --

Sitting in silence for a long time, she finally couldn't bear the drowsiness, her head and neck unconsciously leaned on his shoulder.The untightened hair flutters in the wind, and the tip of the nose brushes the fragrance of the hair, like satin and blue silk, carrying the fresh air between the mountains and the sea. The distant breath is not like the Central Plains, not like the world--

He gently picked her up, being careful not to wake her up with his gentle movements.The person in his arms is quiet and dependent, like an unwarranted trust in silence.The encounter under the interception of time seems to be vaguely destined--

Blessings and misfortunes, joys and sorrows.

"Why don't you see me for a while, my husband has an extra child."

A joking voice came from behind, and the woman in purple turned around to block him, with a smile on her face, but a look of suspicion in her eyes, "Let me see, this appearance is extremely handsome, but the long I don't look like you, and I'm a little older, could it be—"

"Stop messing around."

He interrupted Xu'er with a slightly cold expression, and said in a low voice, "She is already asleep, be careful not to wake her up."

Seeing his earnest and solemn expression, the woman's thoughts were all tied to the one person in her arms, she couldn't help feeling somewhat discordant in her heart, but she bowed her head silently because it was inconvenient to make more calculations.

After a moment of silence, Prince Changqin realized that she had lost her words, and turned her head to comfort her softly, "Xu'er, I didn't mean it just now, and I spoke a little harshly when I spoke to you, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, how can I care about a child."

Seeing the affection in his eyebrows, she hurriedly smiled gently, and reached out to stroke his shoulder, "We'd better get home soon, and be careful that the child catches a cold. Tonight, let her sleep with me."

He nodded, "Xu'er is the most understanding."

After entering the house, Prince Changqin groped to find the bed, and Xu'er lit a candle and held it in his hand to illuminate it.He leaned over and placed her gently on the inside of the bed, and was about to get up, but the child's arms locked his neck, and he was unwilling to leave.

He wanted to pull it hard, lest he would wake up the child, but he couldn't move and couldn't get away, so he was in a difficult situation for a while.

"Husband—what's the matter?"

Xu'er felt strange, and stepped forward to find that the girl's hand was trapping him, so she wanted to take it away, but he quickly stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Don't disturb her, let me try again."

He slowly leaned close to her face, and begged softly in her ear: "Brother Changqin is very tired after carrying you all the way back, can you let him go and let him rest for a while?"

The soft and warm breath dazzled her snow-skinned face, as if the spring breeze was blowing the lotus and whispering softly.As if in a dream, the child let go of his hands.

He only felt his body loosen, and the lotus-root-like jade arm fell vertically, and he was about to fall heavily, so he quickly reached out to catch it, gently put it on the mattress, and then carefully tucked it in with the brocade quilt.

Xu'er watched quietly from the side, his face was serious and caring, his movements were unprecedentedly careful and gentle, as if he was protecting a very fragile rare treasure.

There was a strange feeling in my heart, just as I was about to say something, when I saw him stand up, he suddenly staggered and fell to the side.

"Husband!"

She let out a low cry, and quickly supported him, "What's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

He supported the edge of the bed with his hands, took a few breaths, and then slowly straightened up, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I've become more and more useless recently. Feeling sore and exhausted.”

"Where is a child, she is already so big, she must weigh fifty or sixty catties anyway, you should be exhausted by now."

Xu'er couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "I've never seen you so considerate, you would rather suffer yourself, if it wasn't for her age--"

"Okay, Madam won't be jealous of the same child."

He smiled and took her into his arms, "She's a guest, so it's only natural to take care of her. Don't think about it, you and I are tired today, let's take a break earlier."
