Chapter 1,257 The plum girl looking forward to the rain
"What? You didn't play enough just now, you want to play again?"
"without."
"Isn't this coming?"
Grandpa Xiao couldn't help but grinned guiltily when he saw his wife's half-smiling look.
For a moment just now, he actually had the idea of having a game with his grandson.
"Come on, Xiaoxiao, let's go eat first."
"After dinner, our grandpa and grandson will have a plate."
"good."
Xiao Xiao smiled and followed his grandfather towards his grandmother.
…
The sky is slightly bright, the mist has not dispersed, the faint sunshine has not yet gained much warmth, and the air is chilly.
Xiao Xiao walked into the courtyard.
The familiar scent of plum blossoms in his breath made his eyebrows relax and the corners of his mouth curve upward.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the plum tree.
But immediately, his expression was startled.
He walked into Baimei.
"Plum Girl."
He looked up at the monster sitting on the branch of a plum tree, looking out at the courtyard in a daze.
...
Under the hazy morning light, among the plum blossoms carved from white jade, the whole body of the plum girl seemed to be glowing.
There is a slight sense of unreality.
...
Xiao Xiao clearly saw Mei Nu's body suddenly stiffen at the sound of his voice.
Obviously a little scared.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
Are you thinking so deeply?
She was completely unaware of his approach.
This is the first time for Mei Nu.
...
In fact, he felt a little strange at the beginning.
As usual, when he walked into the yard, he looked up and saw Mei Nu not far away, smiling broadly and bowing to him.
...
What's going on...?
...
"Master Xiao Xiao."
Mei Nu's graceful figure slowly fell in front of Xiao Xiao, then she bent down and lowered her head slightly.
"Sorry, I was distracted for a moment and didn't notice your arrival."
"Good morning, Master Xiao Xiao."
Mei Nu's cold eyebrows have a soft arc, and they seem to be no different from before.
However, it is just a seeming thing.
"Plum Girl."
Xiao Xiao asked directly, "What happened?"
"You're a little absent-minded."
Mei Nu's smile faded slightly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Master Xiao Xiao."
"I just feel-"
The cold voice became more and more ethereal, "It hasn't rained for a long time."
…
It hasn't rained for a long time?
Xiao Xiao looked at the blue and bright sky even though it was still early. It was obviously another good weather today.
Since the heavy snowfall during the Chinese New Year, the weather in Yanjing has been good these days. Regardless of the temperature, you can basically see the sun.
The sky is bright and the mood is bright.
It is occasionally cloudy and there is no shadow.
"Mei Nu wants it to rain?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the plum tree with its slender branches and white flowers like snow. Is it because of the plant's instinctive love for rain?
So if there is no rain for many days, your mood will inevitably be affected? How much melancholy will you feel?
…
"Um."
Mei Nu responded softly.
"Do you think the weather is too dry?"
It was a logical guess, but Xiao Xiao felt that something was wrong.
This is not the first time that it has not rained for several days.
Although he was in school before, he didn't hear anything wrong with the white plum trees in the yard from his family.
He had just noticed at a glance that the petals of the white plum blossoms were hanging down, looking a little listless.
If Baimei had had a similar situation before, the Xiao family who took good care of Baimei every day would not have missed it.
…
Mei Nu nodded, then shook her head.
"It's getting a little dry."
"but……"
Mei Nu pursed her lips, and there was a bit of hesitation between her brows and eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao's lips curled up slightly, "It doesn't matter, if you can't say it-"
"no."
Mei Nu shook her head anxiously, "It's not that I can't say it."
"I just feel..."
"Don't bother Mr. Xiao Xiao."
"This is my own business, and..."
Plum Girl murmured in a low voice, dissipating in the air with her light and breathless breath.
…
"But you're in trouble."
The previous scene of Plum Girl sitting on a branch of plum blossoms was very beautiful. However, the faint morning light also clearly outlined Plum Girl's slightly frowned brows. Although the worry in her eyes was light, it was like the sea in Plum Girl's cold temperament.
As conspicuous as a bright light.
Xiao Xiao's firm words made Mei Nu lower her eyelids slightly.
It will not lie to Master Xiao Xiao.
I don’t want to hide it from Mr. Xiao Xiao.
Since Lord Xiao Xiao wants to know...
"Master Xiao Xiao."
Mei Nu returned to her usual calm and calm state.
Just looking at Mr. Xiao Xiao, the corners of his mouth always have a slight upward arc.
"I'm not in trouble."
"It's a friend of mine...maybe he's in trouble."
"I am not sure."
Mei Nu shook her head slightly.
Therefore, it did not tell Lord Xiao Xiao about this matter.
On the one hand, I really feel that it is not good to trouble Mr. Xiao Xiao with my own affairs. On the other hand, I also feel that how can I tell Mr. Xiao Xiao about things that I have no certainty about?
Isn’t it a waste of Mr. Xiao Xiao’s time?
...
"It doesn't say anything."
"But it was injured, although not seriously."
"Its mood is a little abnormal, I can feel it."
...
"It left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to ask."
"I want to ask about it when we next meet."
"But, it hasn't rained."
Mei Nu's voice, which had always been as cold and steady as a stream under the ice, had some waves, revealing some vague complaints and grievances.
Xiao Xiao could imagine how Mei Nu had been looking forward to rain these past few days.
...
"I can't see it."
"...I'm a little worried about it."
"Who is that?"
Mei Nu’s friend?
Did you get to know each other after coming here?
Or have we known each other before?
Such a vague description made it impossible for him to help even if he wanted to.
"Master Xiao Xiao should also know it."
"When it rains, it always passes by Mr. Xiao Xiao's door."
When it rains?
The weather conditions that Plum Girl mentioned again and again really reminded him of a monster.
"Yu...concubine?"
He read out the monster's name.
"that's it,"
Mei Nu smiled solemnly.
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised, "Are you friends?"
"Have we known each other before?"
Mei Nu shook her head, "No."
"Because when it rains, it always walks past the door."
"Once, I was curious..."
…
The wind brought raindrops and fell on the petals.
A slight chill spreads.
It's raining.
If there is a seemingly invisible halo, the next second, the plum girl stands on the branch.
It looked in the direction of the courtyard gate.
There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
…
"Patter patter~"
The sound of rain gradually became louder.
The thick water vapor blurred the vision and almost covered up the delicate figures of the branches.
…
She waved her plain sleeves lightly, dispersing some of the mist in front of her eyes.
Mei Nu's slightly shining eyes were revealed.
It smelled.
What is mixed in the water vapor is not the aroma of plum blossoms.
