Chapter Eight: Cold Little Hands
The two of them didn't speak, they just raised their heads and raised their ears, watching the beautiful fireworks and listening to the cheerful sound of firecrackers.
The surroundings were extremely noisy, but there was a tacit and sweet peace in their hearts. They were shoulder to shoulder, and they didn't feel cold in the late winter night. Slowly, Shui Shiqiao stretched out his hand, tentatively touched Liuli's finger, and then followed the trend.
, hold that cold little hand.
With a bang, Liuli's heart exploded like fireworks, brilliant.
It’s not that there has never been physical contact, but I didn’t have other thoughts in my mind before, so I was calm. But now it has changed, and the feeling has become unusual. It’s like an electric light flashes where the two people’s fingers meet, hitting each other’s brains along the arm.
and heart.
Liuli instinctively retracted her hands as if she had been burned, but Shui Shiqiao's grip was tight and steady, preventing her from escaping, but he didn't say anything and just stood quietly. There was no need to express that kind of firmness in words.
.Slowly, Liuli became quiet and stopped struggling. She even spread her fingers and interlocked with Shui Shiqiao.
Just the fingers can reveal endless affection. They didn't even stare at each other, they just looked up at the sky. After a long time, Shui Shiqiao suddenly lowered his head and smiled, "Liu Li, does this count as Hongxing cheating?"
Liuli had been in a daze all the time. After hearing this, she suddenly returned to reality. She couldn't help but feel angry and annoyed, and kicked her feet up.
Shui Shiqiao didn't dodge, he just endured it and praised, "Well, the posture is very beautiful." His teasing was very natural.
Liuli snorted, shook off Shui Shiqiao's hand, turned around and went back to the house. In her moment of weakness, she was immersed in the tenderness of love. She actually forgot that revenge came first. Shi Shi was right, she was Xiao Zhen's fiancée, and for
If you defeat that person, even if you don't marry for the time being, you can't stay too far away and you can't care about others.
But just as she stepped across the threshold, she felt someone approaching from behind. Suddenly, Shui Shiqiao's iron arms pulled her into his arms from behind, and buried his head in her long hair. "Liu Li, don't marry Xiao Jiu!" he said.
The voice suddenly changed from the teasing just now to a clear pain, "Revenge, we will find other ways to avenge you. If you want to turn the world upside down, I will turn it upside down for you. Believe me, I will definitely do it. Sister Honglian's revenge
, you are not alone. The one who hurt her is also my lifelong enemy! I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place. I even planned that person's incognito danger so that you could get close to his son and then him through marriage.
I shouldn't have let you do it. I can't stand it. Liuli! Liuli! Liuli!" He ended up talking a little incoherently. He just called Liuli's name and gritted his teeth, for fear that he would be desperate if he let himself go.
And the hot breath he exhaled penetrated Liuli's hair and made her head feel hot. She tried hard to open his arms, but in the end, he even tied them up. Her back was pressed against his chest. Her heartbeat
What violent and rapid shock made her tremble. She suddenly understood something: she had always been confused about her feelings and emotions, but Shi Tou knew it in her heart, but he kept suppressing it and was careful not to show it.
Until it suddenly broke out today.
It's like a violent eruption of a volcano. Once the lava is hot, there's no way to stop it.
She had no choice but to turn around and face him, hoping that he would be more sensible. However, what she saw was his reddish eyes, which made her lose her mind in an instant. The man like a mountain stood tall and tall, but
I was so afraid of losing her that I begged and my eyes became red.
How scared he must be.
"Stone..." She really wanted to promise him.
At this time, she finally knew that he liked her, or had liked her for a long time. What about her? In fact, it was the same. They had known each other since they were six years old. Although Shitou returned to Caobang soon, the two of them met often.
Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts. They have been together every day since they were thirteen years old. They planned revenge together. They planned the development of Caogang together. When she got sick, he carried her to see the doctor. When practicing martial arts, it was he who carried her to the doctor.
He was her target. Throughout her girlhood, the stone had been by her side. Only him!
Shitou was so kind to her, so capable, and so good-looking. How could a girl not love such a man? But her heart was filled with hatred and she realized it was too late. But he never urged her.
This is not to say that Shitou is a timid man, or that he dares not express himself. In fact, he is somewhat reckless and an absolute activist. But he indulges her, dotes on her, lets her go, and waits.
She, therefore, kept her thoughts deep in her heart. And she was so used to him being around that she only understood her own heart after they were separated.
She really understands! Getting used to a man's existence is the most secret kind of liking.
The only strange thing is that in her previous life, she was a standard little girl who liked to act like the boss, rebellious and ignorant. She hated everything that others liked, and liked everything that others hated. So she had experienced fooling around, but she had never really tasted it.
The taste of love.
She finally tasted it in this life, but wasn't it a little late?
In a daze, Shui Shiqiao's head was bent down, his eyes were misty and extremely emotional. He loved her and wanted to kiss her.
There was a voice whispering in Liuli's heart. She wanted to run away, but she couldn't move for some reason. Just as her lips were about to meet, a voice suddenly shouted, "Stone! Stone! Stone!"
The two people who were immersed in the heartbeat were startled, separated quickly, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
There was no one, but Xiaoxian flew in at some point and landed on the half-open door frame. Because of the Chinese New Year, Liuli said he would be free for a few days, so the little guy flew around, so happy!
"Let you ruin my good deeds!" Shui Shiqiao was angry and funny, and stepped forward to fight.
Xiaoxian immediately flew up and landed on Liuli's shoulder, "Stone! Stone! Stone!" he jumped on his feet and shouted.
Shuishi Qiao looked at Liuli and saw that the blush on her face had not dissipated. Because her long hair was loose, she looked extremely shy and charming. His heart immediately softened like spring water, and he smiled and said, "This bad thing Xiaoxian follows his master. It can be seen that
You missed me and secretly called me by my name, right?"
"No!" Liuli refused to admit it. But the fact was before her eyes and she could not deny it.
Shui Shiqiao smiled and walked towards Liuli again.
Liuli panicked and walked quickly to the bed as if running away. She took out a purse from under the pillow, stretched out her arms, and handed it to Shui Shiqiao who was following, "This is... a New Year's gift for you."
Shui Shiqiao subconsciously took it, a little annoyed, "Ah, I didn't prepare it for you."
"Gifts don't have to be exchanged." Liuli said, a little embarrassed.
Because her female celebrity has never been good. What's more, she was still in a hurry? She didn't want to bring it up at first, but the atmosphere between the two was a little tense, so she had to find a new topic. Otherwise, she couldn't have a good time.
breathe.
Fortunately, Shi Shi looked much calmer, unlike just now. He was so impulsive like a sudden wildfire that almost melted her, and she couldn't resist it. Speaking of which, Xiaoxian has made a meritorious service today, so she should be rewarded with more Qingdai.
Fry beans for it.
"The grass leaves embroidered on it are very beautiful." Shui Shiqiao praised with conscience.
Liuli's face turned green. "That's water ripples, okay? What do you think?" Water ripples represent Caobang.
"Oh, the waves are good." Shui Shiqiao quickly changed his words, "The one above is especially good. It represents the waves, right?"
Liuli jumped up and down in anger, "That's obviously the word 'water'!" Who gave this stinking stone the surname "water"?
"Ah, the writing is good. It's really good!" Shui Shiqiao changed his mind again.
At this time, Qingdai and Yiqiu, who happened to be looking for Liuli, heard it outside the door. They couldn't bear it any longer and burst into laughter.
"What are you doing? What's so funny!" Shui Shiqiao asked, scratching his neck.
Liuli had already turned around. She felt extremely embarrassed. And because of her ambiguous relationship with Shitou just now, she was afraid that the girl would find out.
Qingdai pulled Yiqiu into the house and said with a smile, "Master, don't act fierce, the slaves are not afraid. We are not here to disturb the lady and the gang leader. We are just going to the palace to pay New Year's greetings in a while, so we need to pack up at this time.
Already."
"There are still two hours..." Shui Shiqiao was reluctant to leave.
"It's very troublesome for women to go out. The gang leader doesn't understand." Yiqiu said, "Besides, this is entering the palace and the rules are very strict. It's a bit late to dress up now. Gang leader, please go out quickly and please close the door." With these words,
It's already a blast.
Shui Shiqiao had no choice but to exit the door.
But when he stepped inside and outside the door, he turned to look at Liuli, put the extremely rough-made purse to his lips, kissed it gently, and then put it in his arms solemnly and carefully, just like that
It is the most expensive treasure in the world.
Liuli's face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, the two girls had their backs to Shui Shiqiao and did not see them. But Liuli felt that the first day of Qicheng's eleventh year had disrupted all her plans and preparations, and she was really unhappy.
She knew what to do. But even though she was irritated, there was an uncontrollable sweetness in her chest, which slowly overwhelmed her whole heart.
She thought about her thoughts and allowed herself to be manipulated by the two girls. She then put on her clothes and shoes, and then the two Wen sisters arrived.
Although they were of noble birth, they were dressed in white without class. Although they were carefully dressed, they did not dare to be too showy, so as not to steal the limelight of the nobles in the palace. Wen Zhiyun wore a primrose-colored dress, and Wen Yiyun wore a lotus-green dress, and they wore exactly the same outer covering.
They wore brocade and satin cloaks with emerald patterns. Their hair was also combed into a high bun like the ladies of Zhao Dynasty, with thousand-leaf gold peony hairpins stuck in it.
Liuli's clothes were not as plain as usual, after all, she was celebrating the Chinese New Year. She was wearing a honey-coloured brocade dress with dark patterns and a peach blossom skirt. What was rare was that her hair was also combed high, with both sides of the hair.
She wore a very ordinary double happiness gold necklace. But she wore a red agate tassel in front of her hair, half covering her smooth forehead. This outfit not only looked happy and generous, but also chic and playful. Her fair skin was rosy.
The ruby color is extremely eye-catching. Even among a large group of beauties covered in pearls and emeralds, she will stand out.
