Rebellion in Shanghai

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened, and then it began to drizzle.

CC sat lazily in the big armchair, propped his face with one hand and looked at the cold night rain outside the gate, with a quiet and gentle expression.

After sitting down and drinking some tea, Nunnally excused herself that she wanted to go back to her room to read a book, and left the living room early, leaving this world to Lelouch and CC.

Lelouch sat on the chair opposite CC, looked at her, and then at the rain that was falling outside, suddenly felt a soft warm current flowing slowly from the bottom of his heart.Wouldn't it be the greatest happiness to stay together and eat together like this, and then watch the rain together?

"It's getting colder every day." CC propped his cheek with another hand, and said softly.

Hearing her voice, Lelouch broke free from his own thoughts, got up and walked in front of her, lowered his head and looked at her carefully, "I may not have time to accompany you these few days, sorry."

"Where's Nunnally, do you have something to do?" CC glanced at him and asked indifferently.

Seeing her attitude, Lelouch felt breathless in his chest, but he still answered kindly: "Nuna Li will stay in the house every day."

"That's enough." CC was still casual, got up and walked to the door, and looked closer at the rain in front of him.The dark sky against the cool rain showed a rare desolation.

Lelouch was left behind and looked at her back for a while, then involuntarily stepped forward and hugged her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder lightly, his voice was a little hoarse, "CC..."

CC didn't dodge and break free, but asked calmly: "What is the relationship between us, Lelouch, why did I forget you?"

There was a long silence, and the surroundings were also extremely quiet, the only thing that could be heard was the rustling of rain.

"CC," Lelouch held CC's shoulders to make her face herself, and there was unprecedented determination in her purple eyes, "We are lovers."

Liu Jin's eyes were dazed, CC didn't respond for a while, just stood there blankly.

"It's windy here, you are in good health, and you can't blow the wind anymore." After speaking, Lelouch himself felt embarrassed, changed the subject without opening his face, then held CC's hand and sent her back to the room.

Before leaving, Lelouch leaned down and kissed CC's white forehead lightly, "Rest early."

"Good night." CC looked up at him slightly, responded lightly, and then watched him leave.

It wasn't until he completely walked out of the room that CC raised his hand and gently brushed his forehead.

The cool rain fell all night without interruption.

At dawn the next day, it was cool to get up early.

When CC woke up, the sky was just getting brighter.As soon as she made a movement, Xuerong and Suiyu, who were sleeping outside, came in upon hearing the sound.

Dressed in black hair, CC got up, took the coat that Xuerong handed over, put it on her shoulders, and went straight outside.

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the morning after a rain is especially cold, and the wind is still mixed with slight water vapor.

After walking slowly around the small yard, CC just returned to the house, where she quietly washed and changed her clothes. It was already time for breakfast when everything was ready.Suiyu stayed to tidy up, and Xuerong accompanied her to the main house for dinner.However, only Nunnally was waiting for her with a smile, but Lelouch had disappeared.

Seeing CC walking in, Nunnally hurriedly got up to greet her, "Morning Miss CC, my brother really has a lot of things these days, and today he went out before dawn. Don't be offended by Miss CC."

After silently listening to Nunnally's explanation, CC just responded lightly without asking any more questions, and then sat down to eat her own breakfast.

Nunnally didn't seem to be surprised by her temper, she was still smiling, and looked at her with curious and kind eyes from time to time.

After the meal, Nunnally suggested that the two of them go out for a walk together, and taste the matcha ice cream she mentioned yesterday. CC did not object, and went out with her wearing a lotus-colored silver shawl.

The two women had a very leisurely and comfortable day, and they did not return to the house until the evening, but Lelouch was still nowhere to be seen.

"It seems that brother is really busy." Nunnally looked at CC apologetically, secretly worried about her brother, who obviously took his own initiative to take him home, but he didn't see anyone all day long, after all, it's not good.

CC was still silent, having dinner with Nunnally in the main house calmly, taking a nap after the meal, and then going back to her yard, as if whether Lelouch came back had nothing to do with her.

After returning to her own room, CC leaned on the bed and fiddled with a volume of some old books. From time to time, the sounds of broken jade and snow velvet could be heard in her ears. The two of them were organizing the items brought from home outside.

"What kind of thing is this? You asked us to live here, but you didn't see anyone there. If you knew it was better than going back, who would want to live in such an uninhabited place!"

Upon hearing this, CC just pulled the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, turned over a page of the book and continued to browse.

"Keep your voice down, don't let the master hear it. Now the master needs to rest. It's very quiet here, but I look very good." Xuerong said softly, and the soft voice was very pleasant to the ears.

CC still just smiled, and continued to focus on the book in his hand.

"But……"

The voices of Suiyu and Xuerong gradually became smaller and finally disappeared, as if they were walking out.

This continued until late at night, when a man suddenly broke into the yard, his slender body was mixed with a smell of dust, and he walked all the way into the house.

"You're here." CC was still staring at the book in his hand without looking up.

"You know it's me?" Lelouch looked at her in surprise and asked.

CC finally put down the book and looked up, "Just came back?"

"Yes, I just got home and wanted to come over to see you. Fortunately, you are not asleep." Lelouch sat down next to CC, casually glanced at the book she had been reading before, and finally couldn't help saying, "This One day, I neglected you."

"The ice cream at the western restaurant that Nunnally took me to is very good." CC said, and continued to read the book.

Hearing this, Lelouch narrowed his eyes slightly to look at her, and finally showed a faint smile, "Then you should rest earlier, I'm going back, I still have things to do tomorrow."

He left after speaking, his back gradually blending into the dark night outside.

Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, CC put down his book and went to sleep with his clothes on.
