When he returned to the Orthodox Academy, Chen Changsheng was reeking of alcohol and drunk, his eyes were squinted, and he was already a little unsteady when he walked. As for the Ivy Banquet, he had already forgotten about it and never thought about it again. can't remember.
There were no lights in the library, and without him, the Orthodox Academy was naturally deserted as before. He walked to the lake, and there was no one around, only the stars floating in the clear water, the reflection of the forest on the opposite bank was not clear in the night, and the late spring wind was refreshing.
He stood on the rocks by the lake, looked up at the stars in the night sky for a long time, then looked at the stars in the lake for a long time, and then stood silently for a long time with his eyes closed , suddenly yelled a few words that seemed to be swear words into the lake.
He has always been calm and silent, with a precocious maturity beyond his age. It is extremely rare to vent emotions like this. Tonight, he did it while drinking, only to find that he was a little tired. He just sat on the lawn by the lake and looked back. Fell down and started to daze.
The library was pitch black, he didn't go there to study, and he didn't go to starlight to wash his marrow, he just lay on the lawn in a daze, just in a daze, without thinking, it was the first time in these years, especially after the night when he was ten years old, that he Indulging yourself like this is a waste of time for the first time.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes and found that he was still lying on the grass. The grass blades touched by his hands were covered with dew, and his cheeks were slightly wet. Around five o'clock—even though he was drunk and wanted to let loose, he still woke up on time. Those strict and even old-fashioned routines and ways of doing things had penetrated into his bones and turned into some kind of instinct, which made him feel Very helpless.
Habit is a very powerful thing, even if you wash your marrow, you can't wash it away—Chen Changsheng returned to the small building, and carefully scrubbed his face with a wet towel beside the bucket. While thinking about these things, he saw the old wall Going to the closed new door, I don't know why I have some expectations.
God never responds to requests, but today he did. There was only a creaking sound, and the wooden door was pushed open. The little girl jumped over the threshold like stepping on rocks across a stream, and then bounced to him, with a pair of black ponytails swinging very cutely. .
Luoluo looked at him happily and said, "Hey, sir, don't you think it's very convenient?"
The little girl smiled happily, but in fact she was very nervous, she was afraid that Chen Changsheng would run away like yesterday.
Chen Changsheng didn't run away. I don't know if it was because he didn't soak himself naked in the wooden barrel today, or because he was hungover last night, or because he had given up resistance under the little girl's entanglement, or, in fact, he really wanted to See this little girl.
Walking out of the Orthodox Academy, he bought two bowls of wontons. He handed one of the bowls without chili peppers to the little girl, and then walked towards the library. The little girl was carrying the wonton bowls, and followed him in small steps. She was very pleasantly surprised. .
After breakfast, Chen Changsheng started to read. He found his target on the shelf very skillfully, sat on the floor and read silently and intently. One by one comparison, he called this method comparative research.
Reading is a very boring thing, and watching other people read is a very boring thing. Chen Changsheng reads quietly, naturally he can't speak, Luoluo was very interested in the first time, and watched together with him, After reading for a while, I found that many books I couldn’t understand, so I started to feel bored, and felt that getting up early was really not a good thing. Sleepiness was like those ants under the tree, killing them one after another, making her feel that her own The head is getting heavier...
I don't know how long it took, Chen Changsheng woke up from the ecstasy of reading and thinking, and felt that his right arm was a little heavy and numb. Sure enough, the girl was sleeping with his arm in her arms again.
Her hand didn't actually wrap around his right arm, but just gently grabbed his sleeve, and she didn't lean on his shoulder—because of her petite body, she actually leaned on his upper arm—this posture It wasn't very comfortable, but she slept soundly, even sweetly.
Chen Changsheng looked at the little girl's completely stretched eyebrows and the childishness in the relaxed eyebrows, and laughed.
Being able to sleep so soundly and sweetly was naturally because she was very relaxed. The reason she's so relaxed is because she trusts him so much. It feels very good to be completely trusted by someone, especially for him who walks silently in Kyoto alone.
Suddenly a shadow landed on the little girl's face.
Most people don't like light when they sleep, they only like darkness, but the little girl is obviously different. The shadow made her frown and her nose slightly wrinkled. will wake up.
Chen Changsheng liked to watch this little girl sleep, and naturally he would not be too happy to be disturbed. Looking at the door of the library, he raised his eyebrows subconsciously.
It was Shuang'er who appeared at the door of the library. For some reason, her face was covered with frost, and her eyes were extremely cold.
…
…
Shuang'er is in a very bad mood today, because Bai He returned from the far south again, and brought another letter from Miss.
Miss is not those idiots who have been taught by idiot books such as female taming women's morality. The Great Zhou Dynasty never had such inexplicable requirements for women in the south. She knows this very well, so she doesn't understand why Miss would care That shameless boy.
Although there is a marriage contract, but that marriage contract will be torn up one day, why should Miss care about that guy? Well, the lady just said in the letter that she wanted to know about the boy's recent situation, and she didn't care about it... But, why do you want to know
Shuang'er actually knew very well that the young lady just didn't want the boy to become dust in the river of Kyoto because of the marriage contract, so she asked her to inquire.
She obediently inquired about it, and found out that Chen Changsheng had become the only student of the Orthodox Academy for many years, and judging by the attitude of the master and madam, although that boy could not have any future, at least his life safety would not be a problem. According to Miss's instructions in the letter, she came to the Orthodox Academy today to ask him what help he needs, such as money and things. Unexpectedly, when she walked into the library, she saw such a scene!
Who is that little girl? Why are you hugging that guy? Is this reading? Although the Orthodox Academy is dilapidated, it is still a place for teaching and educating people! This guy is cuddling with that little girl in the Library Pavilion! How decent!
Seeing this scene, Shuang'er was furious—you and Miss are engaged! Although this engagement definitely doesn't count, but after all, the engagement hasn't been annulled yet, and your identity is the lady's husband-in-law! Otherwise, why does Miss still care about your safety even though thousands of miles away, and ask the big shots in the palace to save your life? Although the young lady doesn't like you, she still takes good care of you, but you flirt with other little girls! What an adulterer and whore!
Shuang'er wanted to say these four words, but seeing the childish appearance of the little girl, she couldn't bear it, so she looked at Chen Changsheng and shouted bitterly: "The pervert!"
After saying these two words, she didn't have the mood to care about Chen Changsheng's recent situation, she flicked her sleeves, turned around angrily and left.
The Orthodox Academy was quiet and deserted, and the lawn by the lake was pleasantly green, but Miss Shuang'er was in a depressed mood, getting more and more unhappy as she walked.
After returning to the East Imperial General's Mansion, she began to write letters to the young lady, describing the things she found out...especially the scene she saw today. Hearing and writing, but the derogatory meaning between the lines can't be hidden.
The white crane left the capital and flew to the Shengnv Peak in the far south.
In the evening, the setting sun shone on the exotic flowers and plants between the cliffs, and the white crane landed on the edge of the cliff. The girl stretched out her hand to untie the envelope, took a look, and remained silent for a long time.
Bai He took the brush again, dipped it in just the right amount of ink, and put it into her hand just right.
The girl picked up the ink pen, looked at the snow-white paper, was silent for a long time, then sighed suddenly, scratched her head with the end of the pen, looked at Bai He distressedly and said: "I really don't know what to write, according to what you described... That little Taoist should not be such a person."
Bai He couldn't speak, so he couldn't help her answer, so he lightly touched her wrist with his neck, signaling her to write quickly.
…
…
Thief? Chen Changsheng heard the two words Shuang'er said before turning around to leave. He knew she must have misunderstood something, but he didn't care, let alone chased out of the library to explain something—the marriage contract with Shenjiangfu had not been broken, but after doing so many shameless things in Shenjiangfu , he thought that the other party didn't even have the right to misunderstand him, let alone say something about being angry, but... for some reason, he became a little angry instead.
Luoluo woke up, rubbed her eyes, smelled the smell of powder left in the air, and asked curiously: "Sir, who came just now?"
Chen Changsheng said, "A maidservant of the East Imperial General's Mansion."
Luoluo's expression changed slightly when she heard the words Dong Yu Shen Jiang Fu. When she was about to say something, she suddenly stopped and looked outside the library.
Two men came outside the library.
One of them walked into the Library Pavilion with his hands behind his back, and entered without invitation, appearing extremely arrogant.
The man was wearing the exclusive clothes of the Tiandao Academy.
Chen Changsheng noticed that this person's expression was extremely indifferent, and he looked at him with extremely unkind eyes.
"absurd!"
The Taoist from the Heavenly Dao Institute glanced at Chen Changsheng, then turned around, as if looking at him twice would dirty his eyes, extremely contemptuous.
He looked at the person next to him, and severely reprimanded him: "The Orthodox Academy has been abolished, what qualifications does it have to be listed in the Sixth Court of the Ivy League? As for this person...a trash who has not even been able to cleanse his marrow, what does he have?" Qualified to participate in the Ivy Banquet!"
