It's like being shackled, and you have to be careful even when you breathe.

My father also saw that I was in a bad mood, so he dragged me out and went to the street to buy snacks, exquisite and beautiful hair accessories and silk flowers, new dresses and lipsticks and powders that girls like.He bought them all the same, piled them up in front of me, and looked at me expectantly, hoping that I would be happy.

Oh, why do I have such a stupid father.

I laughed and threw myself into my father's arms, trembling with joy.

Not two days after returning home, news came from the palace that Xiao Hongchen had woken up.I thought I should go to see him, Ruan Dad grabbed the hem of his clothes and said that he would go too.When I looked at him, he lowered his head and whispered, "Sister's child..."

I took Ruan Dad's hand and smiled: "Let's go see him together."

Still in the palace, I saw the young man lying quietly on the bed, with all his sharp edges removed, like a proud white peacock with its wings cut off, it made people feel distressed just looking at it.

He leaned against the soft pillow, his eyelids drooping.I knew he didn't like to look up at people, so I consciously pulled the chair and sat down, so I called him: "Cousin."

"How's your body?"

Plain tone.

"Can't die."

he answered.I was stingy and gave me half of my eyes, just staring at something in a daze.

"That..." My father shrank behind me and said, "You have a good rest, your body will be fine...everything will be fine."

He scoffed, "Is everything going to be alright?"

Xiao Hongchen turned his head sideways to stare at my father, his expression was half a smile but not a smile, but there was no smile in his beautiful different pupils.He repeated my father's words twice, full of sarcasm.

I patted my dad's hand and motioned him to go out.

Ruan Dad opened his eyes wide, full of puzzlement.I'm whispering among juniors, dad, you stand aside.

Ruan Daddy felt wronged immediately.

But Ruan Dad was really obedient, and walked out dejectedly.I reminded him to remember to close the door, and Ruan Dad turned to look at me, with tears in his eyes.He moved out step by step, closing the door slowly at a snail's pace.

Just in case, I also turned on the sound-proof soul guide.

In the deliberately sealed space, neither he nor I spoke.But someone has to break the silence first, but unexpectedly, he is more impatient than me.

"Su Zimo." He called my name, just like when we met five years ago, "You..."

"I didn't come to you to ask for He Li's book." I interrupted him first, "I guess you didn't write it either."

——Even if I write it, I guess it’s not in my hand and I can’t take it out, and it’s useless if I take it out.

His face became a little ugly, and he was annoyed: "Then what are you doing here today? Are you watching my joke!"

I looked at him strangely, "Do you have any jokes to read?"

He choked on words.The beautiful eyes are rounded, like puffy puffer fish.Oh, it's so beautiful.

I just laughed, eyebrows and eyes curved.I said cousin, anyway, we are also comrades in arms who have fought side by side, can't you have some confidence in my character?Do I look like the kind of person who hits the rocks.

He didn't say a word, and turned his face away from me.

"Cousin." I called him, "remember our transaction four months ago?"

"My cousin helped me at a critical moment, so naturally I dare not forget."

His tone was blunt and very natural.I pretended not to hear it, and continued: "I also said at that time, the so-called transaction, I will give you what you need, and you will give me what I need, mutual benefit and reciprocity."

"Now I don't need He Lishu."

I looked at him and said word by word: "I want, marry, give, you!"

Xiao Hongchen turned around abruptly, staring at me.

There was an abnormal blush on his pale cheeks, which made him, a beautiful woman, come alive instantly, making him extremely good-looking.

"Su Zimo!! You... cough cough cough!"

He reacted too violently, coughing so loudly.I'm really afraid that he accidentally tore the wound, and the wound will be wounded, and the patriarch of the world will not cut me to death when I turn around.

I consciously patted him on the back to help him calm down, but I still said something provocative to him: "Why, cousin. Are you so moved that you fall in love with me?"

Moved, of course moved, probably moved to the point of wanting to kill me to vent my anger.

He pushed me away hard.

"Su Zimo." My cousin's voice was extremely cold, "Are you kidding me?"

I stood by the bed and looked down at him, the expression on my face gradually cooling down.

"Unfortunately, no."

He doesn't speak.

The room fell silent again.

I lowered my head, the pleasure of revenge flashed through my heart, and suddenly I felt like a needle prick.In fact, I should have talked to him about it in a different way, and I shouldn't have made it clear when he was seriously injured.This is venting anger.I know, have always known.

But I feel bad.Stuffed and panicked, it made me lose control, made me want to scream, roar, smash things, listen to the crisp shattering of glass, and watch that beautiful and fragile thing being destroyed and shattered into pieces on the ground!

but I can not.It will scare my dad to tears.I have to protect him and comfort him when he cries.

But myself, I want to cry and have no place to cry.

Except for my silly dad, there is no one in this world who would really think about me.

I turned around and sat down slowly on the edge of the bed, with my back to my comrade in arms, my cousin, and my fiancée.

"The so-called transaction, each takes what he needs, is mutually beneficial, and has nothing to do with each other. I helped you before, and now it's your turn to help me."

I spoke slowly, not caring whether the people behind me were listening.

"I'm going to marry you in ten days. Remember to come and pick me up, I won't wait when it's over."

I still didn't let go of embarrassing him.Judging from his injuries, ten days might be a bit difficult.But so what, it's none of my business.It's fine not to come.

"Then it's settled! Cousin."

I finished my words on my own, and then got up to leave without missing anything.

Outside the door, my father was standing against the wall, like a bamboo pole.Seeing his appearance, I couldn't hold back my face, and burst out laughing.

Ruanpa grabbed my hand, called Susu happily, and asked hesitantly, have you finished whispering?

I smiled and nodded, well, it's all over.

Let's go home then?

Well, let's go home.

The patriarch of Hongchen heard what I said, and just sneered: "Ten days? This girl can really speak!"

Meng Hongchen hesitated to speak.Xiao Hongchen didn't say a word, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.And I don't know these things, and I'm not interested in knowing them.

When I got home, I told my dad that I was going to marry my cousin.

Dad's expression was blank, and he hadn't reacted yet.Then I said, do you want to prepare something when you get married in ten days?

"Susu!!"

My dad rushed over and hugged me tightly.He was suddenly flustered, his heart was beating fast, and tears fell when he blinked: "Susu...Didn't Susu say that she would not marry him? Why, why today..."

I patted Dad on the back and said softly, "Yes, Susu has repented."

My father hugged me and suddenly froze.

"Susu... like him?"

"Well, I like it."

"So...are you willing...to marry him?"

"Well, I would."

My father hugged me and cried, the cold tears wet the clothes on the shoulders and back, the temperature was cold from the back to the heart, as if to freeze the heart.

"Don't cry." I comforted him as usual.I said, it's not that I'm abandoning my father, I'm just marrying him. I'm still in Mingdu, and I won't be far away, so what's so sad about it?When I was young, my father didn't often tell me whether I was going to marry him when I grew up.

But now Daddy regretted it too.

He told me so.

So my next words were choked in my throat, speechless, silent.

There was neither rain nor snow on that day, but when I recalled that day in the years to come, I remembered something cold and light, covering my heart layer by layer.In the end, the heart in the chest was wrapped airtight, cold, and suffocated.

It's too late to say anything.

Difficult to fall asleep at night.

The cousin personally delivered the wedding dress on behalf of her brother, which was dazzlingly red.The color is like blood, like the bright red liquid that flowed from my wrist when I bit it.Hot as molten to the touch, putting it on would melt away the flesh and then catch fire, reducing the bride to her skeleton.Or maybe only a pinch of ashes remained, not even the bones.

The long night of waiting for marriage is long and sleepless.

As a father, the Zimo patriarch squatted under the crabapple tree of his dead wife, whispering and thinking.He spoke intermittently, mixed with sobbing sounds like a child. He was still crying weakly, frightened and uneasy, calling his dead wife's name and his daughter's name, and for a moment he could hardly tell who he was calling.Tears fell into the mud, quietly submerged, and disappeared without a trace.

Understanding and ignorance, from bewilderment to beginning to clearly hear the heart weeping.I leaned against the closed window, and my father's whispers reached my ears, vibrating the air and humming.

Shushu.susu.

He seemed to be chanting a spell, summoning an elf who would jump out and hug him.But no one responded to him.

The patriarch Zimo, who was squatting under the tree and crying, remembered his sister and his wife Wang Shu before the accident happened.They seem to have left, and they don't seem to.These years have passed by, so short that it is only a time to yawn, yet so long that countless years have passed.

/ Lovesickness grows in front of the grave, life and death are boundless. /

The stars faded silently, and the dawn in the eastern sky broke through the night, and a new day came again.Open your eyes and go to the new life.Poets always say that.It's just that whether it leads to new life or to destruction is a question.Just like the debate between honey and arsenic in the past, there will never be a conclusion without in-depth understanding.

I put on my wedding dress.

Actually I don't like red.

In ten days, he came as promised.Although my mind is full of regrets, escaping marriages and snatching marriages, I can't be cowardly at the critical moment, no, give up halfway.I am very principled.
