"Big Fish and Begonia" Deer God and I

"You promised me." With his promise, I finally lay down in peace.

Deer God didn't speak, he just stretched out his hand and lowered the closed bed curtain again.

I watched his white fingers flash past me, and then were hidden in his sleeves.

In the dim candlelight, I could vaguely see his tall and straight figure behind the blue bed curtain.

"Go to sleep."

Then he blew out the light again.

Watching the moonlight quietly flowing into the room, drowsiness gradually swept over me.

What woke me up was the sound of rain outside the window.

Tick-tick-tick-tick-

It was the sound of rain falling on the window eaves.

When I opened my eyes, Lushen's handsome profile fell into my field of vision.

He leaned on the window with one hand, and it seemed that there was a drizzle blowing on his face, and what he smelled was the unique fresh smell after the rain.

Smelling that smell lifted my spirits, and the annoying drowsiness disappeared immediately.

I got up from the bed, opened the bed curtain and looked at Deer God.

He seemed to feel my gaze, turned his head to look at me, and his slightly frowned brows returned to expressionless, as if the emotion I felt at that moment just now was just an illusion.

"Since you're awake, go and wash your face." He said to me without audible emotion, then turned his head and looked out the window.

I put on my shoes silently, combed my frizzy long hair with my hands casually, and then walked to the window.

"What are you worrying about?" I stood beside him, also looking at the rain outside the window, witnessing the rain getting bigger and bigger.

Now is not the time for rain.

I'm confused, but I've lived here for 16 years, so I don't even know about climate change.

In the middle of March, it should be a good time for all things to grow and spring to be brilliant.

This rain did not come at the right time.

Thinking of this, I stretched out a hand in a daze.

"Don't mess around." A hand as white as jade suddenly bumped into my field of vision. I felt the temperature between my wrists and woke up suddenly.

Taking a half step back in a panic, I raised my eyes to look at the Deer God.

He let go of my hand, his eyes still fell out of the window, "Go and wash your face, I'll take you back."

I lowered my head somewhat disappointed, turned and left the room.

The moment I opened the door, I brought the back of my hand that accidentally got wet with raindrops to my mouth, and stuck out my tongue to lick it.

Rainwater is salty.

A thought suddenly popped into my mind, and I closed the door expressionlessly.

I washed my face with cold well water, combed my hair neatly, and found an oil-paper umbrella from the outside.

My gaze flicked over a pot of orchids on the guest table in the outer room, and I looked back at Lushen's room, then stretched out my hand and carefully opened the door.

Slanting raindrops flew into the promenade of the building, and I tried my best to pick up the corners that were not wet by the rain.

But it still felt very slow, so I simply picked up the hem of my skirt and ran wildly.

I was out of breath by the time I got to the restaurant.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the umbrella paper and then dripped along an arc. I looked at the open door of the restaurant and ran inside.

The rain had already soaked the hem of the skirt. I looked at Sister Ju who was busy making a fire in the small kitchen, and I breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

It just so happened that sister Tachibana also looked up and saw me.

A flash of surprise flashed across her expression, she quickly walked a few steps to me, and took my hand to stand in the room.

"Why are you here? It's still raining outside." She looked down at me, and gently touched my cheeks that were blown cold by the wind.

I shook my head, not knowing what to say.

Sister Ju frowned suspiciously, then reached out and touched my forehead, and said to herself, "I don't have a fever, why are you so quiet today?"

I bit my lip, hurriedly looked up at her, then lowered my head, but my eyes secretly fell on her face, "...I stayed at Lushen's house last night."

I didn't see any surprise on Sister Ju's face, she just showed a rare smile and took me into her arms by taking advantage of her height.

"I know."

She leaned close to my ear and spoke to me in a whisper.

"The Deer God likes Lan, I've seen it for a long time."

The power of this sentence is no less than the sound of thunder on the ground, my eyes widened, and my mind suddenly became a mess.

"Lan is too, you have to work hard." She let go of my hand, with a dazzling smile on her face.

I was still in a daze and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, since you're here, let's help my sister light the fire." She patted me on the shoulder and pushed me towards the stove.

I walked towards the stove with floating steps.

"Look at your dumbfounded look, forget it, stay outside and help me attract guests." Sister Orange nodded my forehead, and simply put the umbrella back into my hand.

Suddenly there was a real feeling in my hand, I turned my head to look at Sister Ju, and then went out obediently.

Opening the umbrella, I looked up at the sky where the salty rain was falling, but the bad premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger.

I always feel...something happened somewhere I don't know.

The author has something to say: There is no unexpected update today

Recently, I thought about recalling the plot of Big Fish and found that my memory seems to be confused, and then I decided to end the plot neatly and take the route of "restoring the reconstruction work of the village after the disaster".

Finally, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

And it may be off for two days, I'm a little out of breath these two days
