What kind of feelings, in the face of jealousy, are vulnerable. "

"Zezhi, let him go." Seeing that she was jealous for her own sake, Ye Weiting felt a little proud, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense and provoke your sister-in-law...and make Zezhi unhappy."

"I'm jealous?" Gu Zezhi turned to look at Ye Weiting, and laughed sarcastically, "Who gave you face?"

Ye Weiting frowned again, and argued: "Then why are you excited?"

"Because I can't bear Wanliang marrying someone like you." Gu Zezhi said viciously, feeling that she was really jealous—but not because of Ye Weiting.

Ye Weiting was also a little bit embarrassed to step down at this time, so he said with an ugly face: "Then don't blame the many concubines in the family."

Gu Zezhi was furious, and yelled in anger: "Dream your spring and autumn dream! Wanliang is mine, and a beast like you is worthy of meddling?"

Before the words fell, Gu Zezhi himself was stunned.Even though her heart was turbulent, she just followed the crowd in silence for a moment without changing her expression, then calmly took Wanliang's hand and walked out.

The moment Wanliang heard those words, she was almost overwhelmed with joy.But she didn't immerse herself in this happiness for too long, because she knew that this was just a sentence in a hurry.

She broke away from Gu Zezhi's hand.Gu Zezhi turned to look at her.

"I have something to do." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly lifted up her skirt and ran towards the osmanthus forest.

Outside the banquet hall, there was no noise, and the cool breeze woven the silence.

Chapter 23 (Modified Edition)

Chapter 23

Wanliang walked through the cinnamon-scented courtyard and ran to the Nuan Pavilion against the cold wind.She leaned against the wall and panted for a while before pushing open the door.

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, Wanliang fell into a daze.She didn't know what she wanted to do. In the silence, the only movement she could catch was the crisp sound of wind chimes in her ears.

"Qingyue," Wan Liang called towards the door, "Can you bring me a jug of wine?"

"Wine?" Qingyue walked into Nuan Pavilion, looking at Wanliang puzzled, "Now?"

"Yeah. I ran all the way back and took a little cool breeze." Wan Liang pointed to her throat.

Qingyue stepped back in response, and Shaoqing brought a set of pots and cups. "Girl drink less, beware of getting drunk."

"I see," Wanliang smiled at her, "Go back to sleep."

When Wanliang heard the door close with a "snap", she lowered her eyes, picked up the jug and filled the glass.

"I heard that getting drunk can cure a thousand worries, but I don't know if it's true or not." Wan Liang stared at the thin wine for a long time, then raised her head and drank it down in one gulp.Naihe drank too fast, she was choked to tears all at once.The corners of the eyes seemed to be connected to the heart, the tears could no longer be contained as soon as he nodded, and the gravel buried in the bottom of his heart came out with the tears.

Gu Zezhi stood under the eaves outside the flower hall, the evening breeze was cool and lingering fragrance remained.

Standing here, Gu Zezhi didn't know whether he was waiting for Wanliang to come back or something else.But she knew that many things had become strange—after she yelled that sentence.She felt a faint throbbing in her heart, as if she was clamoring for something, as if she was announcing something.

what is it?

She remembered that afternoon three days ago, Wan Liang stood in front of her, embarrassed and desperate, and told her she liked it.In the past three days, the phrase "like" was like a curse, shuttling in her mind all the time.

But Gu Zezhi doesn't understand what is called "like".She has always felt that liking only exists between men and women, and it is a very cheap thing.If you like this person today, you may change your mind tomorrow, just like Meng Duan.And how could she be like this to Wanliang?In her nearly 20 years, there is no one who can make her worry more than Wanliang.When she has something she likes, the first thing she thinks of is to give it to Wanliang; whether she is busy or free, she just wants to be with Wanliang, even if she doesn't say a word; she can't see Wanliang suffer a little I am wronged, otherwise I will jump up like a cat with its tail burnt; what's more, she doesn't want Wanliang to be with anyone, even though she keeps saying that she wants to find a good home for her, but the kind of wanting The exclusive mood is always trying to hide it.

It must be a kind of feeling that I like more than like, a kind of strange affection.

Gu Zezhi rolled his eyes, looking at Wan Lai Feng Ji.She started walking back.

That day Wanliang said to her, if not, then treat it as never knowing each other.She still remembered Wanliang's expression at that time, so sad and so determined.If she takes never knowing each other as the ending, then she feels that she is about to end.

The things engraved in the bones, if they want to be destroyed, they can never be brushed away by hand, they can only be smashed into ashes.

She still doesn't know what the so-called "like" is, but the feeling of being dependent on each other and having to be her is driving her to run there.

Her steps quickened.

When Gu Zezhi opened the door and came in, she saw Wan Liang was burying her face in her arms, and there were obvious wet marks on her crimson cuffs.She walked over gently and stood beside Wan Liang, not knowing what to do.

"Are...are you crying?" Gu Zezhi's tone was more like an affirmative sentence.

Wan Liang followed the sound and slowly raised her head.There were very shallow tear stains on her face, the peach blossom makeup at the corners of her eyes had faded, her eyes were watery, and her pupils were abnormally reddish.

When Gu Zezhi saw her like this, he felt a sharp tug in his heart.She frowned, bent down slightly, and put her hand on Wanliang's slightly trembling shoulders, her voice was rare and gentle: "Don't be sad, they bullied you, I will definitely take revenge back."

Wan Liang froze for a moment, then shook her head.

"You must marry him, don't you?" Wan Liang clenched her palms, trying her best to stabilize her trembling voice after crying.

Gu Zezhi didn't speak, she just lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Wanliang didn't ask any more questions, and also stopped crying.She stared intently at the flickering candles and the trembling lamp oil on the table, allowing her eyes to turn deeper and deeper red.

Gu Zezhi looked at her reddened eyes and nose, and felt an indescribable tenderness and pity in his heart.There is no need for a reason, no need for a clear feeling, she feels that the answer to some things is already coming out.

She doesn't like to do evasive things, if she really has such a strange feeling, if she is really attached to the person in front of her——

"Wanliang, let's try, okay?" She bent down slightly, hugged Wanliang from behind, and gently pressed her cheek against her temple.She felt her heart throbbing.

Wan Liang shivered slightly, her heart beat a little violently, and the place where Gu Zezhi hugged her felt numb.

But she didn't feel happy.

"Try..." Wan Liang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she glanced at Gu Zezhi, "What do you mean?"

Gu Zezhi looked at her wet eyes, not knowing why.

"Gu Zezhi, I don't want this," Wan Liang frowned, her voice was low but firm, "I don't want you to be with me because you pity me. Although I like you, I'm not pity. If you try If you find it inappropriate, then are you going to marry Ye Weiting...or some other man? If so, you might as well leave the blank to me, it will be enough to comfort you for the rest of your life."

"Try, that is to say—" Gu Zezhi did not respond to her words, but said "try" in a soft voice, "I like you, I want to try to be with you. If you don't want to be with me in the future If you are together, then don’t try; if you always like it, then we will be together for the rest of our lives, and we will never have to try again. Is this unacceptable?”

Wan Liang suddenly turned her head and looked at her with wide eyes.

"You like me?" Wanliang's voice almost shifted slightly.

"I like you," she stared deeply at Wanliang's pupils, her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, and her voice was reassuringly firm, "Wanliang, try with me."

Wan Liang stared at her blankly, as if there was a whirlpool in this person's eyes.

"Which... do you like?" Her voice was rather cautious.

"This kind." Gu Zezhi knew what kind of liking she wanted.She lowered her head and brushed her cheek against Wanliang's ear, causing a scorching heat.The tip of the nose groped forward, slowly and gently, along the side of her neck, her cheeks, and finally met her round nose tip.

Wan Liang stared blankly at her, forgot to catch her breath, her whole face was flushed as if reflecting fire.

Gu Zezhi stared at her, as if this person had spring, summer and autumn and winter in his eyes.She turned her face slightly, stuck out the tip of her tongue, and licked Wanliang's lower lip.The tip of the tongue naturally moved upwards, pressing against Wan Liang's slightly parted red lips.

Wan Liang stared at the pair of peach blossom eyes, then slowly lowered her eyelids, stuck out her tongue, and began to respond to this dreamlike kiss.The lips and tongue are intertwined, moist and soft.

The lamp oil flickered under the firelight, and the light yellow warm light was dense, lighting up the silent night.

Gu Zezhi let go of the shackles on her arms, raised her eyes to look at Wanliang, her lips dripping with blood and her pupils filled with water.She bent down, squatted in front of Wanliang, and looked up at her.

"This kind of liking, okay?"

Wan Liang lowered her head, her eyes didn't move.She stared at Gu Zezhi, stared at this man's face stained with ink under the candlelight, stared at this man's eyes hidden with starlight.

She suddenly smiled.

"Why is it like a dream?" She turned her head away.

"I woke up from the dream, and I'm still there." Gu Zezhi patted her back comfortingly.

She shook her head, "It's a deep dream, I can't wake up."

"You can't cry anymore," Gu Zezhi raised his hand and wiped the corners of her eyes that were still wet, "I don't know how to coax people, I can only accompany you next time."
