When we got home, it was already dark.
No matter how much Yu Yuan cherished eating that candy, the candy had already melted.
There is still a hint of sweetness in the mouth, and the tender feeling of the girl's fingertips on her lips is still fresh in my memory.
Yu Yuan jumped off the donkey cart silently.
He stretched out his hand, and was about to pull Yan Mu, but saw Yan Mu jumping down very gracefully.
Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then silently withdrew his hand back.
Yan Mu gave the rest of the money to Father Yan.
Father Yan happily accepted it, and allocated more than half of it to Yan Mu and Yu Yuan as pocket money.
Yan Mu smiled and accepted the money calmly.
Yu Yuan, on the other hand, had never had such an experience, and felt that the money in his hand was extremely hot.
The coin in the palm seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and even Yu Yuan's heart felt heavy.
"Uncle, I..." He pursed his lips and was about to refuse, but Father Yan said with a smile: "Accept it, Uncle is usually busy with farm work and needs your help, so I can't just let you do white work, right? "
"Uncle takes care of my food and lodging very well, how can I..." Yu Yuan frowned.
"You take it." Yan Mu hugged the quilt and laid it on Yu Yuan's bed, "If you don't take it, Dad won't be ashamed to ask you for help in the future."
After Yan Mu said so, Yu Yuan could only accept it.
His chest was hot, this was the first time Yu Yuan was paid.
He thought of his complicated feelings for Yan Mu, and of Yan's father's amiable appearance, Yu Yuan felt even more despicable.
The summer is hot, and the three of them are already sweating profusely after sorting the goods.
Father Yan has to get up early to do farm work tomorrow, so he takes a shower first.
Yan Mu and Yu Yuan were at the back.
Taking advantage of this time, Yan Mu pulled Yu Yuan to his room.
"What, what?"
Although Yu Yuan has lived at home for some time, he has never entered Yan Mu's room.
As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the sweet smell in the air.
This smell is unique to Yan Mu, and it lingers in the light of night, wrapping Yu Yuan gently.
It's like a fisherman going out to sea who hears the singing of sharks, even though he knows that one step ahead will be a huge wave that eats people, he still jumps into the sea without thinking about his own safety.
Suddenly, his mind went blank, and his heart beat violently like a running deer, almost breaking his chest.
He froze in place, unable to speak.
"Yu Yuan, guess what I bought you today?" Yan Mu asked mysteriously.
"What?" With nails piercing into the palm of his hand, Yu Yuan spent a lot of effort before asking as usual.
"Look!" Yan Mu took out a stack of books and a beautifully wrapped gift box.
"Which one do you want to see first?" Yan Mu's mouth almost reached his ears.
"... Whatever you want." Yu Yuan pretended to be calm.
He turned his head away and secretly took several breaths before he felt his heartbeat calm down a bit.
Yan Mu didn't mind Yu Yuan's indifference, she took out the stack of books on her own.
These books are similar to "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and "Gu Wen Guan Zhi", which are must-reads for contemporary students.
It's just that this mountain village is too poor and backward, and it's hard for the students to listen to the "Three Character Classics" just taught by the husband.
Yu Yuan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing the emotions in his eyes.
He stepped forward to look at the book, and thanked him sincerely: "I like it very much."
"Really? As long as you like it." Yan Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
According to the plot, Yu Yuan, with the help of his male partner, the second prince, will soon walk out of the mountains and become an official in the court.
In the book, although Yu Yuan was single-handedly promoted by the second prince, he was ridiculed by the officials overtly and secretly because of his humble background.
Because he had never been in contact with politics, Yu Yuan had a hard time getting up early in the officialdom, and his life was even in danger at one point.
Yan Mu didn't want Yu Yuan to be sad, let alone hurt Yu Yuan.
Whether from the perspective of the author or a friend, Yan Mu wants Yu Yuan to be healthy.
She quickly restrained her emotions, smiled again: "There is another gift, guess what it is?"
Yu Yuan hugged the stack of books like a baby, and reluctantly looked away from the books.
"That's enough for me."
His eyes were shining with starlight, and his contented look reminded Yan Mu of the little milk dog he had raised in the past.
Yan Mu burst out laughing.
Seeing Yu Yuan's inexplicable gaze, Yan Mu coughed lightly and said, "Open it and have a look."
Yu Yuan carefully put down the book, hesitated for a while, and then slowly opened the box.
After seeing clearly what was inside, his breathing became stagnant, and he couldn't speak for a moment.
Inside the gift box is a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.
And it looks top-notch.
Yu Yuan's hands suddenly trembled.
The Yan family itself is not rich, he never thought that Yan Mu would buy these for himself.
It was the first time in his life that he received a gift.
And whether it is books or the Four Treasures of the Study, they are all things he desires and loves in his heart.
Yan Mu must have thought for a long time before deciding to buy these.
He could almost imagine the girl holding her chin and thinking hard.
How could he be able to meet such a good girl as Yan Mu.
Yu Yuan pursed his lips tightly.
He didn't cry when he learned of his mother's death, he didn't cry when he was ostracized and insulted, and he didn't cry when he was beaten by Zhang Orion.
But when he saw the brand new books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones in front of him, Yu Yuan's eyes felt sour.
"Thank you." With a hoarse voice, he lowered his head so that Yan Mu could not see his expression, "I like it very much."
"Why did you suddenly think of giving me this?" Yu Yuan quickly adjusted his mood and asked, raising his head.
There was a tinge of red at the end of his eyes.
It's a pity that the night was vast and the candles were dimly lit, so Yan Mu couldn't see.
"Because everyone else in the school has them." Yan Mu said seriously, "Only you don't."
"Are you... sympathizing with me?" Yu Yuan's voice was hoarse.
"No." Yan Mu suddenly laughed, "I just think that Yu Yuan should have what other students have."
"..."
Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and many emotions surged in his heart, turning into a sea of bitterness and swallowing him.
Yu Yuan wanted to run away for a moment.
But looking at the girl's clear and bright eyes, his body was immobilized as if someone had cast a hold on him.
I don't know when the moon came out, and the milky white moonlight sprinkled on the world, adding a touch of hazy dream.
The night wind blows away the dark clouds, raises the willows, and the soft branches and leaves tickle the young man's heart.
The girl's clear eyes were also shrouded in a layer of moving moonlight.
There was the sound of walking outside the house, followed by Father Yan's loud voice: "I'm done washing, who's next?"
The deadlock was broken, Yu Yuan trembled all over, and said hastily, "I'll wash first."
After that, he ran out of the room as if fleeing.
The sweet smell of a girl still lingers on the tip of her nose.
Yu Yuan shook his head, trying hard to forget the scene just now.
He scooped up a ladle of cold water and poured it straight over his head.
Even though it was summer, his body shivered suddenly when he was shocked by the cold water.
The young man seemed unconscious, pouring ladle after ladle of cold water on his body.
But even so, it still couldn't quench that restless heart.
Water droplets dripped from the tips of her hair, across her scarred chest, and meandered down her tight belly.
The gorgeous red lips parted slightly, and a broken gasp escaped.
He lowered his eyes, and there was a drop of water hanging on his crow-feather eyelashes, like a shining gem.
The girl's voice still lingers in his head.
——"What other students have, Yu Yuan should also have."
"...Stupid girl." Yu Yuan closed his eyes.
The author has something to say:
I don't know if Father Yan will be so kind to Yu Yuan after he learns that Yu Yuan has abducted his daughter...
By the way, good boy should not learn Yu Yuan's bathing method! It will be a headache! ! ! (serious face)
There is a second update today, but it is estimated to be in the middle of the night, so let’s get up tomorrow morning~ Chirp Mi
