Darkness of Rebirth

"Girl, I haven't seen you eating noodles for a long time. Where have you been?" Seeing Chu Mi, the proprietress of the noodle stall greeted Chu Mi with a smile. "Sit down, I'll make you your favorite food." Let's go face to face." After finishing speaking, he found that Chu Mi was accompanied by a young man, "Hey, this time you brought a young man here? This is the first time I see you bring someone to eat noodles, it can't be your sweetheart... Ah Hahaha" The proprietress warmly greeted Chu Mi and Dongfang Du to sit down, without any fear of Chu Mi.

"This is my junior brother, what kind of sweetheart!" Chu Mi explained with a slightly red face, "Don't make fun of me, lady boss, let's make noodles! Otherwise, we'll leave!" While speaking, she sat down on the stool , put the bronze sword on the table, and Dongfang Du sat down on the stool opposite Chu Mi.

The proprietress quietly looked at Dongfang Du sideways, turned her head and smiled and said to Chu Mi: "Don't, don't, I'll make noodles for you!" She said, filling two bowls of hot soup for Dongfang Du and Chu Mi, "It's cold weather , drink two bowls of soup to warm up your body first, and the noodles will be ready in a while." After finishing speaking, he went to knead the noodles.

Chu Mi picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot soup. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Dongfangdu sitting there, staring at him without drinking the soup. Seeing that his eyes seemed to have something to say to him, he put down the bowl and asked: "What's the matter, Xiaodu?" He thought to himself, 'Is there any intention to keep looking at me? ! '

Dongfang Du raised his head and glanced around. The noodle stall was doing a good job, and the tables were almost full. The proprietress was kneading the noodles, and from time to time she turned her head to chat with the guests around her, and then she turned around and asked, "Senior sister, you always come here to eat Noodles? She seems to be quite familiar with the proprietress..."

"Well, a while ago, I came here to eat noodles every night, and after eating for seven days, I became acquainted with the proprietress." Chu Mi explained, wondering, "Is it because of this that you stare at me?" '

"The proprietress looks quite young."

"Well, it seems to be 25 or [-]. Both parents died, so I make a living from this stall. He is carefree, straightforward, and a nice person. I heard that a matchmaker came to propose a marriage before, but she never agreed." Chu Mi looked sideways. She glanced at the proprietress of the noodle stall, "It's not easy for a girl's family."

"Why doesn't she agree?" Dongfangdu kept asking like a curious baby, and the topic was all about the noodle shop owner.

Chu Mi narrowed his eyes, and jokingly said: "Why, look at the proprietress above? How about I go and find you a matchmaker? How about marrying back to be your concubine?"

"Uh, Senior Sister, what nonsense are you talking about..." Dongfang Du stopped asking Chu Mi questions, but took a sip of hot soup from the bowl to hide his embarrassment, and swallowed the soup, only to find that Chu Mi looked him up and down, With an inexplicable smile in his eyes, Dongfang Du's heart trembled when he saw it, he hesitated for a moment, put down the bowl, got up and sat beside Chu Mi.

Dongfangdu and Chu Mi were originally sitting face to face, but when Dongfangdu moved his position, they were sitting on the same stool.The proprietress turned her head and saw that Dongfang Du was actually sitting with Chu Mi, and smiled ambiguously, "She said she was not her sweetheart, so they are all sitting together!" 'Turn around and roll the kneaded dough into pieces with a rolling pin.

"You have something to say, why do you sit next to me? Isn't it too crowded?" Chu Mi saw Dongfang Du sitting next to him, and moved aside deliberately pretending to be disgusted, "It won't be the same as when I was a child. Hey, you are coaxing you to eat, right?"

"Senior Sister, this happened so many years ago! Why are you bringing it up again!" Dongfang Du blushed and muttered in a low voice, "Why do you always treat me like a child!"

No matter how quiet the voice was, Chu Mi still heard it, "Okay, okay, I don't treat you like a child anymore, you are an adult! Then why are you sitting next to me? You don't really want me to match you with the proprietress, do you?" Chu Mi Mimi turned her head, supported her chin with her hand, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were full of teasing intent.

The hands under the table squeezed the hem of the clothes, Dongfangdu bit his lips, and called softly, "Senior Sister", put his head to Chu Mi's ear, and whispered: "Senior Sister, I found that I like women child."

"I like girls... I like girls... girls" Dongfangdu's words kept echoing in Chu Mi's mind, and it took him a moment to realize, "You like girls?!" Chu Mi grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, with a terrified expression on his face "You, you, you, you don't like me, do you?" Chu Mi already knew Dongfang Du's identity when she was eight years old, and what she said about matchmaking for the proprietress before was all jokes. He leaned into his ear and suddenly said that he liked women, and he was so scared that he asked out loud.

The noisy surrounding suddenly quieted down. The noodle stall customers and the proprietress heard Chu Mi's words, "You don't like me, do you?", and all looked at Dongfang Du and Chu Mi's table.

"Young master, do you want to learn how to confess your love at a young age?"

"This confession must pay attention to the heart! How can you confess your love casually at the noodle stall!"

The proprietress was not happy when she heard it, "What's wrong with the noodle stall, I can't get on the stage to confess my love at my noodle stall? You have to have a full moon and a quiet lakeside to confess your love?" She pointed to the night sky. A crescent moon, "Look, look, look, a crescent moon, paired with my bowl of drunken noodles, how romantic it is!"

……

Hearing the people around talking about it, Dongfang Du blushed in embarrassment, clenched his hands, and whispered: "Senior Sister, you misunderstood, I...I don't like you..."

"What? No!!!" Chu Mi didn't expect that the more difficult thing to accept than Dongfangdu liking a woman would be that the woman Dongfangdu likes is not him. At this moment, his heart feels like being stabbed twice, it hurts speechless.

Seeing that the people around him were still looking at him, Dongfangdu got up and sat back to the seat opposite him, lowering his head and not speaking anymore.In her previous life, since she returned to the palace, she rarely met Chu Mi, and she never told her about the woman she liked until she died. Today, when the proprietress asked her senior sister if she was her sweetheart, she wanted to tell her what she liked. Telling her about the woman, she never thought that her senior sister would have such a big reaction. After traveling in the rivers and lakes for so long, shouldn't she be surprised by nothing?

The two were silent for a long time, each having their own concerns.It wasn't until the proprietress brought up the noodles that they broke the silence between the two, "Miss Chu, son, your noodles are ready." After speaking, he glanced at Dongfang Du who bowed his head, thinking that Chu Mi must have rejected him , then comforted like a confidant big sister: "You are still young, wait a little longer, and pursue Miss Chu when you grow up." After speaking, he turned and left, leaving Dongfang Du with a stalwart back.

'This is all about what! Dongfang was helpless.And what the proprietress said stabbed Chu Mi in the heart again. After only a year of separation, the little junior who was clinging to him all day long moved on?

Dongfang Du saw that Chu Mi's expression was not very good, swallowed his saliva, and explained cowardly: "Senior Sister, I don't like anyone else either." With that said, Senior Sister should not be unhappy.

When Chu Mi heard this, his heart immediately felt a lot more comfortable, as if the knife just now hadn't hurt his strong heart.Picking up the chopsticks to mix the noodles, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Xiaodu, you just said that you like women, but is it true?"

"Yeah." Dongfang Du hesitated for a moment, nodded, his eyes darkened, thinking of An Yun, he couldn't help asking, "Do you still like her?"Love doesn't seem to disappear so easily.Is it really possible to kill her? '

"Senior Sister, does it mean that if you fall in love with someone, she will become your weakness." Dongfang Du frowned slightly, put down his chopsticks gently, looked at Chu Mi, obviously knew the answer, and still wanted to ask Senior Sister.No one can tell the pain in my heart. It seems that only this senior sister who has been with me from the age of three to the age of 13 is the only one I can confide at this moment.

Chu Mi paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, then smiled, "Yes, it will be my weakness." 'Xiaodu, you are my weakness. 'Chu Mi is not sure about her feelings for Dongfangdu, but she can be sure how important Dongfangdu is to her heart.

Dongfang Du lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, struggling in his heart, and finally asked: "Senior Sister, how can I become cruel."

"Cruel-hearted?" Chu Mi frowned and asked in bewilderment.I couldn't help wondering why Dongfangdu would suddenly ask her this question, 'Do you want to be cruel? '

Dongfangdu didn't answer, but changed the subject and said, "Eat the noodles, sister, it's getting cold." After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks, lowered his head and ate the noodles, not daring to look at Chu Mi again.

Chu Mi looked at Dongfangdu who was immersed in eating noodles. After ten years of companionship, she knew Dongfangdu's character clearly. Something must have happened to her to be so capricious, and she was so erratic about her desires. He stopped talking, shook his head lightly, thinking that he would ask carefully when he was going to sleep at night, so he also ate noodles and stopped talking.
