Gardenia walked up the steps and looked at the hazy sky. The rain didn't seem to be stopping, but was getting heavier and heavier.
Leyin walked away for a while but didn't come back. When he was bored, he got up and walked out of Yuexianglai Restaurant. He stretched out his hand to feel the drizzle falling in the air. He smiled calmly and walked to the stall nearby to pick something.
Open the umbrella, and a few red plum blossoms are blooming on the umbrella surface. Although the painting is rough but not detailed, why bother worrying about it too much? Aren't some things more beautiful when they are natural?
After a while, there was a plum blossom among the crowd on the street. When I turned sideways, I saw a rouge stall not far away. I remembered that when I was young, my mother liked to play with those rouges and gouache for me. She always kept it in my ear.
She said, "Every daughter should dress up." But she didn't know that when she dressed up, her father would always say that she looked good. After all, "a woman should be judged by her beauty." Who should she be dressed up in?
What do you think?
Thinking that her daughter might like Luoxi, Gardenia smiled lightly and took a step towards the rouge stand.
The light rain still continued, and a healthy figure stood under the rain. The attendant held an umbrella for him, and his eyes were fixed in one direction, unwilling to blink for a long time.
Whether it is longing or deep love, it is a very mysterious thing. When you love someone deeply, to a degree that you are not sure about, no matter where she goes or how she changes, it only takes one simple action.
In the vast sea of people, it only takes a moment to lock in.
At this rare moment, she turned slightly sideways. Although there was only an arc mark, he still kept it in his mind and easily found her figure under the umbrella held by thousands of people. It is said that there is gold under a man's knees, and his tears are also like gold.
As precious as beans——.
Watching her leave the stall, turning around and walking towards her direction, the person I missed so much was right in front of me, and the indescribable excitement turned into two lines of hot tears falling down like the drizzle.
.
But - why is he not in her eyes? He can't even feel the slightest glance from her. Does he hate himself so much that he pretends not to know each other? She has been smiling, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth has never stopped since she left the stall.
He has never disappeared. Or maybe he saw it wrong, and missed him so much that he recognized the wrong person? But isn’t the wooden ring on his wrist that he put on his own hand looming? Or is she going to walk in front of him in this way, can he imagine it?
She would say in a nonchalant tone: "Long time no see?"
No, nothing. She still smiled faintly, and showed no intention of slowing down when approaching him. It was as if she was an irrelevant passerby, and she would simply pass by him in an ordinary way.
His wrist was firmly grasped in an instant, and the remaining smile on the corner of his mouth was exhausted. He looked sideways in astonishment, meeting a majestic handsome face, a pair of torch-like eyes, and surprisingly, those two deep
Her tears made her tremble at this stranger she met for the first time.
Gardenia was a little displeased and tried to pull her hand back, but in vain. She frowned and said, "This young master is proud of the imperial city and at the feet of the emperor. Are you so rude and openly defying the king's law?"
She really didn’t recognize him anymore, and her heart seemed to be covered with a layer of ice. She smiled sadly and still didn’t let go. He was afraid that once he let go, it would be difficult to catch him again. Recalling the first time they met, Gardenia was also holding on with her hand.
Talking to him in this tone: "Don't you remember who I am?"
Gardenia thought for a moment: Could it be that she was an old friend again? But the previous old friend had ill intentions towards her, which made her more vigilant. She sighed sadly: "I think you must have recognized the wrong person. I
I've never met you." She didn't know that her words were cutting into Ling Jiyun's heart like a knife.
Ling Jiyun stared at her, unwilling to blink. After being silent for a long time, Gardenia frowned and said, "Please respect yourself, young master, you have hurt me."
"If you promise not to leave, I will let you go."
Surprised by his words, Gardenia said: "Whether I leave or not is my business. It has nothing to do with you. You'd better let go as soon as possible. Otherwise, if people you know well see it, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain clearly."
There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Because of the rain, people disperse quickly.
"How do you dare to let go?" Gardenia was a little anxious, afraid that Leyin would not be able to find her when she came back.
Ling Jiyun said to his entourage without looking back, "You go back first."
"As commanded."
The rain was heavier than before. Ling Jiyun left the umbrella and the rain soaked his clothes in a short time. He looked at Gardenia tenderly: "This girl, you are very much like an old friend of mine. Are you willing to accompany me?"
I'll take a walk."
He held his wrist tightly, and although his tone was begging, his attitude was unyielding. With a slight nod of his head, Ling Jiyun took the umbrella in her hand and held it between the two of them. The umbrella was mostly tilted.
Looking towards Gardenia, the rain wet his shoulders, his hair, his eyebrows, his face——.
Feeling inexplicably distressed, Gardenia pushed the umbrella upright and said, "It's better to be fair."
"I'm afraid you have gonorrhea." Ling Jiyun said quietly, his eyes full of affection.
Gardenia unexpectedly met his bottomless eyes and said without thinking: "I am a doctor and I will not let myself get sick."
And he said without hesitation: "I know."
"You know?" He paused and saw the rain beating on the umbrella, and streams of water fell past his eyes.
Ling Jiyun smiled softly and said, "You have a faint medicinal scent."
Continuing to move, he was right. He had carried medicinal fragrance in his body since he was a child, but the medicinal fragrance seemed to be much heavier at this time. Is it because of the rain? Thinking of the music, Gardenia had to stop: "I should
Leave, otherwise someone will be waiting in a hurry."
Not wanting her to leave his sight, Ling Jiyun said with a hint of command: "No."
He stared at this stranger in confusion. Not only was he offended, but he was also disrespectful. Why would such a domineering person have trouble with him?
He looked away and frowned slightly: "I know why you came to Aoran Imperial City."
Gardenia hated this feeling of being seen through, as if everything about herself was being displayed in front of him. She took a deep breath and said in a cold tone: "No matter who you are, please let go now."
A carriage came and stopped when passing by the two of them. Feng Qing couldn't wait to open the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Looking at this woman who had disappeared for six years but had never forgotten a day in her heart, she felt a mixture of sadness and joy.
“Gardenia——.” She called out softly. Was it just the rain falling on her face?
Gardenia looked back, how could the person in front of her recognize her? She was silent and silent, surrounded by only the dripping rain and the panicked pedestrians speeding through the rain.
"Miss Gardenia."
Hearing the sound of music, he saw her sticking her head out the next moment. Before she had time to think about what was going on, her body was already being picked up and walked towards the carriage...
