Chapter 66
The banquet broke up until night. Xie Ling followed Shi Hua to say goodbye to the Lin family. The two of them carried lanterns and headed towards the west of the city.
They walked through the late-night streets as always, under the shade of willows at the bridgehead, and passed the bustling Chengxi Street Market. The lights shone on the two of them, casting long shadows.
Xie Ling followed Shi Hua. He drank some wine and his steps were a little sloppy. But even so, he still looked at the slender back in front of him seriously, with great concentration.
Her back seemed to be ignited by those gazes, exuding heat. Shi Hua pursed her lips and walked without looking back.
That little bit of heat was like a spark, gradually spreading, but she still didn't look back, as if she didn't even notice it.
Until, she turned the corner, and suddenly, the fire went out, and Shi Hua finally stopped. The street was quiet, with no light and no one. It was extremely quiet, separated from the market just now.
At some point, the footsteps behind me also disappeared.
Shi Hua paused for a moment, then turned around. The familiar figure was not there, and Xie Ling was gone.
Shi Hua felt slightly panicked. She ran out of the alley in a few steps, turned the corner, and returned to the bustling market again. There were noisy people and bright lights, but the boy was still missing.
"Xie Ling!"
As if a big hand suddenly grabbed her heart, Shi Hua shouted: "Xie Ling!"
Her voice spread in the market, attracting several people to look around. Shi Hua walked a few steps quickly, his eyes darting around quickly. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. He knew that the other party had drunk tonight, so he shouldn't continue to talk to her. He vents his anger.
Shi Hua walked through the crowd and suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the side: "Ah Jiu!"
Her footsteps suddenly stopped, and she turned around and saw Xie Ling standing under the window of a shop, looking towards her. Bright lights connected behind him, and the golden light shone on the young man's light blue cloth robe. Outlining a thin edge, he smiled slightly, his eyes warm and nostalgic.
At that moment, Shi Hua felt as if a small pebble had been dropped into the calm lake of his heart, causing a ripple.
The ripples quickly dispersed. Shi Hua watched him approach and asked, "Where have you been?"
Xie Ling raised her right hand and said with a smile: "I bought you something, thinking you would like it very much."
Shi Hua lowered her head and looked at his hand, and saw that it was a wooden hair grate. She felt familiar for some reason. The pattern engraved on the hair grate seemed simple, but it had a simple charm to it.
When Shi Hua didn't move, Xie Ling pulled her hand over, put the hair grate in her hand, and said, "I'll make one for you when I have time."
Shi Hua suddenly remembered that Xie Ling had carved a hair grate for her in the past, with a picture of a swallow holding a peach blossom on it, which was very beautiful. Later, when Chen Mingxue left Suyang, she gave the hair grate to her as a token.
Later, Xie Ling didn¡¯t see her using the hair grate, and he asked her several times, but gave up after learning that it was given to Chen Mingxue.
There are several plum blossoms engraved on this hair grate, which is somewhat similar to the previous hair grate. Shi Hua looked at it, and Xie Ling said warmly: "Ah Jiu, it's getting late, let's go back."
The alley is still as quiet as before, but now there is a bright lantern, illuminating the surroundings. The two of them are walking side by side, their footsteps are light and slow, and the atmosphere is rare harmony and tranquility.
When the lock was unlocked, Xie Ling was still standing aside holding a lantern. He stood very close, so close that Shi Hua could smell the aroma of wine coming from him, mixed with the aroma of new ink, faint but pervasive.
Shi Hua leaned over uneasily, opened the door, and suddenly heard Xie Ling call: "Ah Jiu."
She poked a hole in the hand holding the key and said, "What?"
"It's okay," Xie Ling laughed briefly, "I just wanted to call you."
Shi Hua just pretended not to hear, because Xie Ling was holding a lantern in her left hand and was a little far away. She couldn't find the keyhole several times, so she casually said: "Get closer."
"Oh." Xie Ling moved, and the rustling of her robes sounded. The next moment, Shi Hua felt him leaning over, his arms tightly touching her shoulders. The warm feeling made her almost jump Get up, step away immediately, and say angrily: "What are you doing?"
Xie Ling¡¯s voice was innocent and a little aggrieved: ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to get closer?¡±
Shi Hua:¡¡
She couldn't help but want to rub her eyebrows and said, "I asked you to bring the lantern over."
Hearing this, Xie Ling was a little disappointed, but he still agreed.?So no matter what I say, I will climb up to him this time.
There were some movements and intermittent voices coming from the houses nearby. It seemed that everyone was getting up. Mr. Su put his old face aside, gritted his teeth, and said in a slightly louder voice, "My dear nephew. , I know that it was indeed my fault that you were wronged back then. Because of this, I regretted it for many years. Later, I often thought of your father, tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully. My uncle was very pleased to learn of your whereabouts today. Now I am The person who came here specifically to apologize did not want to have a relationship with you because he saw you win Jieyuan. If you forgive my uncle, he will be able to put an end to his worries, and he will have the honor to see your father in the future."
His voice was loud and the alley was quiet, so it seemed particularly clear. The yards next door became quiet. Some people even opened the door to look at it. Even the door of the yard where Shi Hua and the others were close to was opened. It was Shen Mingzhen. Scholar's home.
Xie Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing that he had no reaction, Mr. Su became cruel. He lifted the hem of his robe and was about to kneel on the ground. Shi Hua frowned. People around him came out to see him. If he knelt down, he would be in trouble in the future. Xie Ling's reputation may be ruined.
She was about to step forward to stop him, but Xie Ling moved faster than her. He reached out with one hand and held Master Su's arm firmly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled, and said lightly: "What are you talking about, Uncle Shi? I'm afraid?" It¡¯s you who wants to see my father, but my father doesn¡¯t want to see you yet.¡±
His voice was cold, and his eyes seemed to be frozen, which made people feel cold when they saw him. As a result, Mr. Su's legs would not be able to kneel down no matter what.
