    Xie Lian has a unique and reliable temperament, and you can be infected just by standing next to him. The noise has dissipated and the dust has settled.

    Every time I see him, Ah Li always feels safe and calm.

    He responded with a smile involuntarily.

    Thick water vapor condensed, and the bamboo leaves beside the ink-washing pool were moistened, and dew dripped down.  I don't know when it started to rain, as thin as a gossamer, swaying slightly in the wind.

    Ah Li then turned around and said to the maid behind him: "Go get the umbrella."

    The girl took the order and left.  Ah Li went down to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

    Xie Lian kept watching her approach, as if he was looking at her carefully.

    Since the Lantern Festival that year, they have not seen each other again.

    In the past few years, Ah Li¡¯s appearance has indeed changed a lot.  Back then she was still a little girl, soft and pink.  Now she has pulled away like a beautiful bamboo, and her figure is taller than that of ordinary Jiangnan girls.  Because the clothes he wore were not thick, he looked a little thin.

    The chin has also taken shape, and the baby fat has not completely faded away. It can still be seen that it is rounded, gentle and approachable.

    A girl¡¯s complexion is naturally whiter and tenderer than that of a child, with a reddish tint that makes her look even more shy.  Her eyebrows are as clear and beautiful as a painting.

    This painting-like girl walked over in the slanting wind and drizzle.  As autumn ends in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is like dense ancient ink, which dissolves and blurs little by little.  In the haze of water vapor, only the girl was clear.  It was exactly what he had in mind when he opened the letter.

    ¡ª¡ªThis is the girl he will marry in the future.

    Xie Lian was waiting here on purpose, but now that he actually saw her, he felt like he had met her unexpectedly.

    Ah Li walked over, but didn¡¯t know what to say.  Seeing that he was looking attentively, his eyes were dark, as if they had been washed with water, and there was clearly a long-lasting emotion in them.  Unable to make eye contact with him, he lowered his head and asked, "Why are you here?"

    Xie Lian saw that she was shy, so he looked away, laughed, and said, "I thought I might meet you here. Unexpectedly, I came late and you had already passed. I was feeling regretful -" He looked at him with a smile again.  Ahri, "you are back again."

    I can only say that when fate comes, there is really no way to stop it.

    When Ah Li heard that he was waiting here on purpose, she felt a little hot and explained, "My mother-in-law suddenly asked me to go and see"

    After explaining it halfway, she felt it was inappropriate - so to speak, it was as if her mother-in-law deliberately let her meet Xie Lian, so she quickly changed the topic, "Why didn't you meet A-Yan?"

    Xie Lian smiled and said, "I didn't let him know, I came here secretly."

    Ah Li:=__=|||This baby has also become bad.

    The rain was getting heavier, and it was pouring.

    This autumn has been unusually warm, and it has already entered October. There are actually a few branches of tender yellow rice blooming on the branches of the osmanthus tree.  It's swaying in the rain.

    The crown of the tree is soaked with water vapor and feels heavy.  There are birds flying on the branches, the leaves can no longer hold it, and big raindrops splash down.  Xie Lian reacted quickly and had already raised his sleeves to shield her.

    Ah Li was stunned, she still hadn¡¯t come back to her senses.  I just felt that Xie Lian was suddenly getting closer.  The boy's warm body heat enveloped him, bringing with him a dry fragrance that made him blush and panic.

    Ah Li couldn¡¯t help but look up at him.

    Over the years, Xie Lian was nominally in Jingkou, but in fact he took the opportunity to visit many places in Jiangbei.  The north is not as warm and moist as the south of the Yangtze River, and there are more foreigners and wars.  Thousands of miles of deserted village, with few people inhabiting it, I'm afraid there will be plenty of food and shelter along the way.  Xie Lian's face already had traces of it.

    He is a bit tanned, and his skin is not fairer than that of young people raised in Jiangnan.  He was born elegant, and now his face had a rare perseverance. You couldn't tell whether he was more of a scholar or a general.  Those eyes were also darker and purer, deeper, hiding many more things than ordinary teenagers, and less doubtful and wavering.

    In Jiangnan, there are many young people who have been crowned at the age of sixteen.  But Xie Lian has a better story than any of them, and makes people feel more trustworthy and reliable.

    You can no longer treat him as a child.

    "I'm afraid few girls can resist such a young man.

    Xie Lian felt her appraising gaze, and his eyes followed him involuntarily.  The two people's eyes met, they were entangled for a moment, and then they hurriedly avoided each other.  If you get too close, ambiguity will naturally arise.  The hearts of both of them were beating heavily, and their ears started to turn red.

    After the rain fell, everyone was covered in sweet-scented osmanthus.  They all took a step back.

    I had forgotten everything before, and no one knew how to speak for a while.  I feel the fragrance is full, but I can't tell whether it is cinnamon or the clothes emanating from each other's bodies.fragrant.

    It was Xie Lian who broke the silence first, "It's raining heavily, go and take shelter under the eaves over there."

    Ah Li said, "Okay."

    The two people stood under the eaves.  Separated by a thin curtain of water, I looked at the drizzle in the yard.  The drizzle washes the grass and trees, and the ripples in the ink-washing pool overlap one after another.  Just like who plucked the strings, you can hear tunes one after another from the rain.

    I don¡¯t know how long the silence lasted before Xie Lian said, ¡°When I come back this time, I won¡¯t go out again.¡±

    Ah Li said: "Yeah."

    ??

    Ah Li said: "Yes."

    Xie Lian added: "Uncle Shi is hosting a banquet this time, and he is inviting talented people from aristocratic families. I guess Xie Lian is not the most outstanding among these people in appearance, talent, knowledge, and family background. He may not be the richest in the future. However,  If Shimei wants to choose a good son-in-law, Xie Lian believes that he is the right one." He paused for a moment and looked at Ah Li with his dark eyes, not evading, "I am better than them all." He said, "Yeah.  I will treat you more wholeheartedly than them all."

    These two guarantees are completely unfounded.  But speaking from this person's mouth, it is like mountains and rivers as evidence, more predictable and more trustworthy than anything else.

    Ahri knew that he could do it.  But the more I know about it, the more at a loss I feel.

    She thought that she was not worthy of this guarantee.  It's as if the thing you've been looking for all this time is right in front of you. As long as you stretch out your hand, you can get it.  But you suddenly realize that you can't reach out.  Because you are penniless, you can't offer anything in exchange for it.  You were so anxious that you wanted to cry, but you were helpless.

    It¡¯s obviously something that you really, really want.  It is obviously something that I will definitely cherish.

    But what should she give in exchange?

    Ah Li just lowered his head and remained silent, listening to the patter of rain.

    Xie Lian couldn't wait for her answer for a long time, so he looked at the courtyard again, his tone a little disappointed for a moment, but still unwavering, "¡ª¡ªRemember to choose me."

    Ah Li finally nodded, her voice barely audible, "Well"

    Xie Lian smiled and sighed.

    The girl over there has already come over holding an umbrella from a distance.

    I think the banquet is about to start.  Xie Lian was about to say goodbye to Ah Li.

    Looking over, I saw Ah Li¡¯s eyes were full of tears and her nose was red.  Suddenly I felt a little stunned.  He stuttered for a moment and hurriedly explained, "II will make you like it. Don't cry. Maybe you can't tell it clearly for the moment, but when you are olderyou will like me."

    Ah Li sobbed, "I, I will treat you more wholeheartedly than anyone else."

    ¡ª¡ªSo, she can accept his confession.

    Xie Lian¡¯s words were stuck in his throat.

    His tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.  The accumulated and restrained feelings in my heart also disappeared like smoke.  I felt a little at a loss for a moment.  He wanted to lean over and kiss her forehead, but it was too much.  When it comes to wiping away her tears, it will inevitably be abrupt.

    He has been taught since he was a child that his appearance will not change even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, but at this time, he laughed with joy from the bottom of his heart.

    After a while, I thought of something again and handed over what I had been holding in my hand.

    That is a simple and elegant silver hairpin with plum blossoms inlaid with beads.

    "When I was in Jiangbei, I traveled with an old craftsman and learned from him. The craftsmanship was rough and I made more than a dozen, but this one is the only one that can be seen."

    Ah Li also forgot to cry and looked straight at him.

    Xie Lian looked at her with soft eyes, smiled, and whispered: "Luozi's return gift."

    Ah Li's face turned red and she took the hairpin.

    Xie Lian added, "Wipe your tears and don't let anyone see you."

    He looked into the distance without changing his expression for a moment, as if he and Ah Li had just met by chance and were sheltering from the rain together.

    Ah Li lowered his head, and a smile didn't appear on his lips.  Secretly put the hairpin in the sleeve.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
