Litchi spring warm Xijiang

The kind of reckless, childish decision?

Wan Liang's fingers were cold, and a self-deprecating smile curled up on the corner of her lips.She stood up and patted the dust off her hands from picking the plantains.

meet by chance.She suddenly thought of this word.The two people who meet by chance should get together better.

When Gu Zezhi left, he didn't even come back for lunch, he just sent a message to go back and say not to wait for her.Xia Shen had no choice but to spread the cloth and let Wanliang eat first.

After hearing this, Wanliang just nodded, and then sat at the table with a bowl in her hand, chewing on the taste.Xia Shen saw that her complexion was not good, so she pushed her into the room to sleep for a while, but Wanliang shook her head lightly, and stared blankly at the wood grain on the table again.

Not long after, there was a "squeak" sound on the wooden door, and Wanliang suddenly raised her head, staring at Gu Zezhi who was squinting slightly in front of her.

"What's wrong with you?" Wanliang knew that her expression was angry, so she asked.

"It's okay, it's just—" Gu Zezhi twitched the corners of his mouth, "It feels like someone has touched a bad head."

"How should I put it, is... can't we agree?" Wan Liang frowned.

"No, don't talk too much. Mr. Ye also said he likes me!" Gu Zezhi untied the tie of the shawl.

"Oh." Wanliang raised her eyes to look at her, but said nothing.

Gu Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Then the pleasant conversation began. The matchmaker passed on that there were some things that the Ye family had to say first. This Ye family is a noble family after all, as expected. I'm good at dancing, I let them find out about my business - and they didn't find anything else, but they found a singing and dancing restaurant. So I made a fuss and asked Gu's family to promise to take back all my assets - of course It's just the restaurant they found, so let's forget about it. What's more, they asked me to be more careful, and when I get married in the future, I must never step out of Ye Mansion by myself!"

"This... But, doesn't Mr. Ye like you? Could it be that he..."

"'Like what you like, but you still have to have family law'," Gu Zezhi blinked, "Ye Weiting said exactly what she said."

Wan Liang lowered her eyes, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Of course, I don't care about his shit!" Gu Zezhi snorted coldly, "I, Gu Zezhi, is going out, so how could it be Ye Weiting's turn to make irresponsible remarks? It won't be neglected by my father and used as a pawn."

Wan Liang was silent, but her eyelashes trembled slightly.She thought that when Gu Zezhi married into a big family, at most she would plan more and act more carefully, but she never thought that she would be humiliated and restrained like this.And when doing these things, that Ye Weiting actually said he likes it!

——Why does he say he likes it!

Like her, but want to restrain her.Greed for her beauty and bury her talent.

Wan Liang only felt that her lungs seemed to be pressed by something, a thorn deeply hidden inside.It hurts to breathe.

She suddenly understood that she could not escape so easily.Things that I thought would become shallower and shallower became thicker unintentionally.

The longer you like someone, the harder it is to be discovered.Although the deeper the liking, the better the hiding.Maybe it's hidden in the heart.However, if something extraordinary happens suddenly, it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back, and it can no longer be hidden.

After a lengthy silence, Wan Liang spoke with a bit of difficulty, "Zezhi, you won't be happy if you marry."

"I know." Gu Zezhi smiled nonchalantly.But Wan Liang felt that the thorn had penetrated deeper.

"Gu Zezhi," she took a deep breath, then stared straight at the smiling eyes of the person in front of her, "Don't marry him."

Gu Zezhi looked up at her, expressionless.

"I like you," she bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, but her eyes didn't wander for a moment, "You're with me, okay?"

Gu Zezhi was stunned for a while, opened his mouth, and said after deliberation: "You... what are you talking about?"

"I like you. You are with me." Wanliang mechanically repeated what she just said, even abandoning the questioning tone.

Gu Zezhi looked a little flustered.But Wanliang didn't, she just felt that the painful thorn had disappeared.But that seemed to be a big thorn, after pulling it out, she felt empty.Maybe because it's all over.

This silence seemed a bit painful, and after this pain, there seemed to be a low echo.Looking at Gu Zezhi's dodging eyes, Wan Liang's heart began to sink little by little.Maybe it's because I'm too selfish, knowing that it's impossible for her not to marry, but still stubbornly expressing my heart, making her lose the only person she can complain about.

But there is no way to recover.Wanliang stood up straight, smiled slightly, and clasped her fingers tightly on the edge of the table.

"I'm sorry. If you can accept it, we can still make a handkerchief exchange. If not, then..." Wan Liang lowered her brows, "Then act as if you never knew each other."

Gu Zezhi didn't answer her.

"I'm going out first." Wanliang took a step forward, almost as if she was running away.

Gu Zezhi didn't move.She lowered her head and stared at the carvings on the agarwood saucer.

like.Gu Zezhi's mind was full of these two words, she thought hard about the phrase "like", but only Wanliang's voice and smile appeared in front of her eyes like a revolving lantern.Her every frown and smile, her tenderness, concern, and even connivance towards herself can all be summed up in two simple words: I like it.But he never found out.

Wanliang's multiple-choice question flooded into her mind at this moment.Whether to continue with the current appearance, or to be like a stranger.Gu Zezhi's first reaction was to choose the first one, but she hesitated.

Gu Zezhi will not fail to understand what it feels like to like someone.If you continue to pester Wanliang as a friend, as if nothing had happened, and let her laugh and send him off to get married—that would be like a beast.

However, if this is the case, it should be a cruel ending.Gu Zezhi lay on the table and closed her eyes.

Sunlight streamed in through the window sills, and the yard carried the fresh smell of yesterday's heavy rain, and as soon as the wind blew, it floated into the Nuan Pavilion.Everything looks bright and clean, as if there has never been a haze here.

That afternoon, the entire Nuan Pavilion was completely silent, without the sound of "Zhi Ya" when the doors opened and closed.

Seeing the sun was setting, Xia Shen ordered Caiyan to call Gu Zezhi to the front hall for dinner.Gu Zezhi straightened up, but paused again.She sat back in her chair and waved to Xia Shen: "You bring it here."

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Cai Yan walked out knowingly.But she didn't expect Wan Liang to do the same.

"Miss Wanliang isn't going to eat anymore?" Caiyan said to herself.

Wan Liang raised her head when she heard the words, and asked, "Didn't your lady go too?"

Caiyan nodded.Wan Liang was silent for a while, then straightened up: "Then I won't bother you to bring it. I'll go."

Caiyan frowned.Could it be that the young lady had a conflict with this Wanliang?

Wanliang sat alone at the table, unable to tell what it was like.She stared at the chopped green onion on the soup, as if sinking into it.The scallions were gathered together in one place, and when stirred with a spoon, they scattered.

Wanliang thought of that word again, and met by chance.

Meet by chance, get together and get together.

Wan Liang lowered her eyes and nodded herself.

Chapter 22

It's the third day.

Wanliang was bored in the warm pavilion by herself, leaning on the floor with her legs curled up, and it was too much effort to change her position.

Sunshine looked listless, slumped limply on the table in front of the window.Looking at the sunshine, Wanliang vaguely remembered the days when she and Gu Zezhi were basking in the sun together.She regretted it again.If you don't say it, then at least there will be a happy time that is enough for you to relive for a lifetime.But almost instantly, she suddenly rejoiced again—said, there would be no more regrets, at least there would be an ending, no matter whether it was good or bad.

Wanliang spent three days in this cycle of regret and rejoicing.

Just when she was about to fall into regret again, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

It's a strange little maid.The little girl was holding a tray with a smile on her face, and she stood outside the door and said to Wanliang: "Master Gu is entertaining the guests tonight, and Miss Trau Wanliang plays and sings to cheer up the fun. This is the banquet dress prepared for the girl."

"Ah..." Wanliang subconsciously wanted to refuse, and then remembered that it would be unjust for her to refuse, so she responded, "Okay, I get it. I just don't know, what does Mr. Gu want me to do?"

"Follow the girl," the little maid pursed her lips and smiled, "Just remember, try to make the tune as happy as possible."

"Okay, I see," Wanliang took the tray and said warmly, "Excuse me."

Seeing that little maid had left, Wanliang closed the door, leaned her back against the carved wooden door, lowered her eyes lightly, and sighed.Upbeat tunes?It's really unlucky.She shook her head, straightened up, and put the tray on the table.Shaking off the folded clothes, Wan Liang pursed her lips vigorously.

It was a dress like a burning cloud.The concubine-colored Yunjinru skirt, the crimson bergamot-patterned beanie, the bergamot flower is woven with gold and silver threads, radiant and dazzling.

"What am I singing, dressed like this?" Wan Liang said to herself amusedly, "It looks like a happy dress."

"Take it as a wedding dress." Wan Liang lowered her eyes, her lips lined gently, "I will wear it once for you as a souvenir."

Golden lanterns and colored silk surround the pavilions, and Gu's mansion has changed from its previous elegance and cleanliness to a magnificent one.

Wanliang stopped a little maid who was passing by, and asked, "Which distinguished guest are you entertaining today?"

"A lot of people are coming," the little maid smiled, "but it's mainly to treat our future guests."
