After the Qingming Festival, the days are getting hotter day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it is summer.
It was already evening when school was over, and the heat wave gathered at noon slowly dissipated, and a few cool breezes swayed in the air, without a trace of heat, and it was very comfortable to blow on the face.
Compared with being bored in the carriage, many students like to walk back in the afternoon, not to mention the refreshing breeze.
The students gathered at the door left in groups of threes and fives. Xu Mu had his schoolbag slung across his shoulders and one in his arms. He stood beside the door frame that was out of the way, sometimes looking into the academy with his head hooked.
He was waiting for Lu Feng.
Sun Yao didn't know what he was muttering with Lu Feng in the afternoon, so he left school, and the two went to the thatched hut together.
Lu Feng handed the schoolbag on his shoulder to Xu Mu, pressed his palm on his head to prevent him from following behind his buttocks, raised his other hand, popped out his index finger from his slightly clenched fist, pointed to the door, and used Chin motioned him where to go and wait for her for a while.
After a spring, Lu Feng was just like the wheat seedlings that had been watered by the spring rain, and his whole person jumped up a lot, and Xu Mu, just like the ornamental bonsai placed in the house, took off his heavy winter clothes and put on refreshing ones. Summer clothes, the whole person has been "pruned" by the changing seasons, except for the more delicate and beautiful face, nothing else has changed.
Therefore, his head has only reached Lu Feng's neck now.
Xu Mu took Lu Feng's schoolbag and was pushed by her shoulders and walked two steps before mumbling, "Then hurry up."
Seeing his clingy appearance, Sun Yao laughed aside and joked: "Lu Feng, your little cousin is clingy enough, when you marry Funer, you won't be able to get him outside. A bed, otherwise he will definitely not rely on it."
"You're so lenient." Lu Feng only glanced at Xu Mu when he saw Xu Mu going to the door.
"No, I mean it." Seeing Lu Feng's disapproval, Sun Yao hooked her shoulder with a smirk, "Otherwise, you can just marry him back, and besides, you are not real cousins. younger brother."
"Look at the candied fruit, it looks good and has a good temperament. For such a little cousin, you can rest assured to give it to someone else?" Sun Yao didn't care when Lu Feng threw his arm away, but said quietly: "If Uncle Li loses his eyes for a while, If you didn't choose a good wife and owner for him, you will get angry every day after marrying a candied fruit, and your family will not be distressed to death?"
Lu Feng thought to himself that he liked her so much, who else could he marry besides her? Therefore, there is no possibility of such an eventuality in Sun Yao, and he does not care much and said: "There is no such eventuality."
Sun Yao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Yes." She understood Lu Feng's words to mean that when the candied fruit was married, the other party must first consider whether he could withstand the Lu family's anger before he was angry with him.
The two of them were indeed going to the thatched hut, and in the afternoon they muttered and said nothing but other things. However, as soon as they left school, there were many people in the thatched hut that was close to each other on weekdays, so they went to the one in the backyard.
Coming out of the thatched hut, not far away is a pond in the academy, where many lotus flowers are raised. Now this season is the time when "the lotus leaves are infinitely green in the sky, and the lotus flowers are different in the sun".
In order to prevent the students from falling into the pond, the teachers of the academy built a half-height hollow guardrail around the periphery, which can not only watch the lotus flowers, but also prevent the elementary students of the scholar class from falling into the pond.
Lu Feng saw the very beautiful pink lotus flowers blooming in the pond, and suddenly regretted not letting Xu Mu follow him.
"I'm picking flowers to escape the summer." Seeing so many lotus leaves, Sun Yao immediately became interested. He jumped to the guardrail with a flutter of clothes, and handed a hand to Lu Feng, asking her to drag him.
Picking the place with the densest leaves, Sun Yao wrapped his hands with his sleeves and grabbed two lotus leaves in a row. Turning around, he put one piece on his head and one piece on Lu Feng's head.
The two of them walked out the door holding the green lotus leaves. Fortunately, after a long delay, the students at the entrance of the academy were already scattered, and no one was watching. Only Xu Mu was leaning on the door frame, his feet restless. Stepping on the threshold, trying to maintain the balance of the body.
It was a playful picture, but because there was a stranger next to him, Lu Feng couldn't help but raised his chin and narrowed his eyes. He felt uncomfortable for no reason.
The man stood beside Xu Mu and looked at him face to face, as if he was talking to Xu Mu.
Because it was facing away from her, Lu Feng couldn't see her face, but only saw Xu Mu's small face sullen and his feet stuck on the threshold, maintaining his balance attentively, as if he didn't notice anyone beside him.
Sun Yao tilted his head and looked at the man's back, and said uncertainly: "Looking at Liu Wen, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, she is studying as the princess's companion. Isn't she in the academy? Why did you come to our academy?"
When it comes to Liu Wen, most women in Beijing have no good feelings for her. It's not because of how she is, or because she has done something unpleasant, but because of her name, which is often compared to herself by their parents.
The more you listen, the more annoying it becomes.
Liu Wen was indeed studying with the princess in the academy, but her younger brother was studying in the scholar class of Dongcai Academy.
Tomorrow's holiday, she came back early today, and didn't tell her family, she just wanted to surprise her brother and come to pick him up. But who knows, only after I came here did I find that the academy was out of school. There were three or two students standing at the door, and the people who stood on the threshold and entertained themselves had the best looks.
Without any hesitation, Liu Wen came over and asked him, "Excuse me, is the academy a loose school?"
Xu Mu stepped on the not-so-wide threshold, with two schoolbags hanging from his neck and hanging in front of him, his hands slightly stretched out to his sides to maintain balance.
It was a bit boring for him to wait, and then he stood on it. Now that someone came to ask about things, Xu Mu raised his head, "Yes, school is over."
Seeing that he was really late, Liu Wen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He turned around and wanted to leave, but seeing this little boy standing here alone, he asked again, "Then why don't you go back? I think it's a bit cloudy today. Why don't I take you home?"
Said and pointed to the carriage that was parked not far away.
Xu Mu shook his head without thinking, "Thank you, but no need, I'm waiting for someone."
Xu Shi's little son is really good-looking, and his voice is soft and glutinous, which makes people want to say a few more words to him.
Liu Wen smiled gently and asked, "Are you waiting for your family to pick you up?"
Xu Mu raised his head and glanced at her suspiciously. He was not familiar with this person, and now she hastily asked this kind of thing, there are only two possibilities, one is to strike up a conversation, the other is to try to talk, the former is annoying and the latter is malicious.
No matter what kind it was, Xu Mu kept her distance and chose a neutral attitude.
Liu Wen felt the young master's alienation from him, and felt that he was treating himself as a bad person, so he couldn't help laughing.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but seeing that there was no one around, he was afraid that he would be in danger here, so he asked another question, "There is no one in the academy, why haven't the people you waited for come yet?"
"It's almost time." Xu Mu frowned and didn't look up at her.
The soles of his feet stepped on the threshold for a while, Xu Mu felt a little numb in his feet, and wanted to come down. It's just that one didn't stand firm, and the sole slid on the very smooth threshold, and it wobbled.
Liu Wen was startled and reached out to support him. She was not slow, but there was someone faster than her.
Lu Feng took a stride and hugged Xu Mu, who had almost collapsed, in his arms. He took off the lotus leaf on his head and put it on Xu Mu's face to block Liu Wen's gaze.
Full of protection.
Smelling the familiar smell, Xu Mu grabbed Lu Feng's shirt with his little hands, and before he even opened his mouth, his eyes were covered by green, and the fresh smell of lotus leaves came to his face.
He snorted and wanted to reach out and take it away, but Lu Feng said, "Take it to escape the heat."
Sun Yao came over and saw that the person who was talking to Xu Mu was Liu Wen, and sneered: "Why did the talented girl Liu come to our Dongcai Academy today?"
"Come to pick up my younger brother." Liu Wen didn't seem to catch the meaning of Sun Yao's words, and replied lukewarmly. Seeing Xu Mu and others coming, he turned his head and said to him with a smile, "Since the person you're waiting for has arrived, I'm relieved." He then folded his fists towards the three of them and turned to leave.
Xu Mu didn't notice what she said at all, but curiously touched the lotus leaf on his head and asked Lu Feng excitedly, "Where did this come from? Why didn't I see this in the academy."
"I picked it in the backyard." Lu Feng answered five words concisely, and when he saw Liu Wen leave, he explained in detail: "There is a pond not far from the thatched hut in the backyard, and there are many lotus flowers in it. Sun Yao picked them. , said to take the heat with you."
While talking, Lu Feng lifted up his clothes and placed it in front of Xu Mu, squatted down on one knee, reached out and touched the ankle of the foot he had almost swollen just now, raised his head and asked him, "Does it hurt?"
Even if it doesn't sag, it may flash.
Xu Mu looked down at her and shook his head with a smile.
After Lu Feng stood up, Xu Mu took the lotus leaf off his head and stretched his neck towards her.
Lu Feng clearly took off the schoolbag that Xu Mu was hanging around his neck, hung it on himself, stretched out his hand to straighten the lotus leaf on Xu Mu's head, and said, "Let's go, go home."
Xu Mu hummed happily, pulled Lu Feng's sleeve with one hand, and pressed the lotus leaf on his head with the other, so as not to be blown off by the wind.
Not far away, Liu Wen, who had just climbed into the carriage, saw this scene, his eyes flickered, and he lowered the sedan curtain in his hand.
She is only thirteen this year, and the little boy looks only ten years old. It would be great if he were older.
It's a pity that just now, he and Lu Feng showed a sense of intimacy that no one could intervene in their behavior and words. It should be unusual for them to have a relationship.
The author has something to say: There may be no double updates today, depending on my status tomorrow afternoon, if there is, it may be six or seven in the afternoon (ㄒoㄒ)
small theater
Liu Wen: The cabbage I like, there are pigs waiting beside it, I am worried
Lu Feng: Hehe, I suggest you stay away, otherwise Zhang Xingtuo's end will be your end.
Liu Wen: This pig is not only domineering, but also cruel _(:зゝ∠)_
Lu Feng: (takes the knife from the candied fruit)
