Chapter 106 Three Days of Light (8)
The night market in Suzhou is lively. There are not only tourists who come out to play, but also locals who come to shop with fans.
Occasionally, a few daughters from Jiangnan who had made an appointment strolled down the street with clinking wine bottles.
Suzhou rice wine is sweet, especially the sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine brewed in August last year.
At this time, there was a wine shop on the bank of the river, with lanterns hanging high at the door, the house was brightly lit, and the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus lingered in it.
The location of this restaurant is good, just enough to have a panoramic view of the river. There are many boatmen on night cruises hanging lanterns and rowing under the window, and sitting on the boat is a pair of young couples.
And many literati who came to enjoy the scenery were slightly drunk and lyrical by the window, swishing ink and writing poems.
Several Jiangnan women stood in the drinking area and peeked at them, then whispered in a low voice, covering their lips and snickering.
Their gazes turned randomly, and they saw the place by the window.
&—zwnj; A woman in a light yellow dress was looking at them curiously, and on her shoulders was a man in white.
After she looked at them, her eyes were slightly curved, and she raised a kind smile in embarrassment, then turned her head away, picked up the porcelain cup and slowly tasted the rice wine.
Several little girls looked at the two of them with kindness, and then walked out of the wine shop with a bottle of wine.
...
Li Ruoshui looked at Lu Zhi, who was leaning on his shoulder, and the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.
At this time, his cheeks were slightly red, his eyelashes were drooping, and there were waves in his eyes. Even though there was still no expression on his face, he still saw Li Ruoshui's heart rippling.
So cute.
Li Ruoshui blinked and couldn't help but tilt his head and kissed his forehead.
Before Lu Zhiyao asked her how to solve the question of where to stay, she was startled and began to think about how to answer him.
After all, according to Lu Zhiyao's statement and questions, even if he doesn't know everything, he should have 70-80%.
But she can't grasp the scale of the answer for the time being, and... she can't give her own answer now.
Lu Zhiyao had a serious tendency to self-destruct, and his thinking logic was different from ordinary people. If the answer she gave was unreasonable, she actually didn't expect what he would do.
...and she could feel how much her heart was shaken, and even for a moment, she thought about staying here and spending her life with him.
There is no doubt that she likes Lu Zhiyao very, very much, and seeing him in such pain now makes her feel very sad.
But she still has a family, and her parents are still waiting for her at home...
Although it hurts to say that, for her, love is only the part of life, and she still has family and friendship, which she cannot give up.
She is an individual, and her three views and emotional system have been formed by these external factors since she was a child. It is because of the protection and love of her parents and friends that she has the cheerful and gentle Li Ruoshui today.
She couldn't give up everything for love. If she did, Li Ruoshui would no longer be Li Ruoshui.
Therefore, she was unable to give her own answer at that time, and after choking for a long time, she could only remain silent.
She will go home, but this game is not without solutions, it can even be said to be very simple, after all, she has considered this a long time ago...
Just when she was organizing the language and thinking about how to answer his question, Lu Zhiyao suddenly leaned on her shoulder and didn't say any more words.
She thought at the time that he wasn't actually drunk, that he just wanted an answer, because in memory his alcohol intake was not that bad.
But when he leaned on her shoulder, his cheeks gradually turned red, and she was really sure that he was drunk.
It's amazing that this person is actually drunk with rice wine.
She patted his shoulder lightly and asked softly.
"What were they just saying?"
The drunk Lu Zhiyao's reaction was very slow, and it took a long time for the sentence to be answered in his mind.
"... They said that the group of poets said that their poetry had rhythm, no gods, and only piled up words."
"That's it." Li Ruoshui suddenly realized, and even laughed.
"I thought they were fascinated by some young master, but I didn't expect that they were teasing them."
The young masters who didn't understand Suzhou dialect were still complacent, and Li Ruoshui laughed even harder when he saw it.
It didn't matter if she laughed, but after she laughed, her hand strength unknowingly became smaller, and the front of Lu Zhiyao's clothes that she grabbed loosened again, revealing the white but scratched chest inside.
He suddenly ripped open the front of his shirt before, which attracted the attention of most of the people in the restaurant, causing them to look at the two of them a little bit wrongly.
Li Ruoshui actually doesn't care about other people's eyes.
Her subconscious reaction was not to help him close the placket, but to ask him to take off his robe. After all, there were so many wounds that he couldn't just cover it.
But this was indeed in a public place, so she had to help him loosely close the front of his shirt so that the wound on his body could breathe.
After dispersing this time, before Li Ruoshui could make a move, Lu Zhiyao curled his eyelashes, held her hand in a fascinated expression, and then closed the placket by himself.
"These scars are dedicated to Li Ruoshui, only she can see them."
Li Ruoshui stared at him with wide eyes, and then couldn't help covering her lips, but her bright eyes still revealed a smile.
In fact, she used to think these words were strange and funny. She always felt that if someone said this to her, she might be able to pull out the magic fairy castle.
But this is what Lu Zhiyao told her. Besides being funny, she was moved and happy that Si couldn't tell.
Lu Zhiyao is not a perfect person. He is flawed and extreme. There is only love in his life. He is even willing to dedicate his soul to Li Ruoshui.
He said this just to show his intentions, and she was not at all embarrassed at this time, because this is what Lu Zhiyao would say.
"Then how about we go home?"
It's a miracle that his wound can be tossed so many times. If he doesn't apply medicine, I'm afraid that one day she hasn't got a good strategy, and the others will be gone.
Lu Zhiyao raised his eyes and looked at her quietly after hearing the words. The sky and the moon reflected in his eyes, but it did not mean reunion, but a boundless desertion.
"I don't have a home."
He said this not because he missed some family relationship, nor because of the so-called loneliness that ordinary people think.
Lu Zhiyao doesn't care about family relationships. In the past, his cognition of things and people was limited to two categories: interesting and boring. In fact, there is no such thing as loneliness. Killing is very happy, how can you feel lonely?
The family he cared about was still related to Li Ruoshui.
In his newly learned knowledge, after the two became husband and wife, it meant that they had a home.
But Li Ruoshui didn't follow him directly, and this family didn't exist.
She will leave, where will he have a home?
But this is Lu Zhi's idea. Li Ruoshui thought that the home he was talking about was the real home.
"Who said you don't have a home? The yard where the two of us lived in Suzhou is our home, and my parents' home is your home. You will have two homes in the future."
Li Ruoshui looked into his eyes seriously, trying to convey his thoughts to him.
Lu Zhiyao smiled, and he seemed to be as gentle as water and spring in the usual way, but his mind is not clear now, and it takes a long time to respond to these two sentences.
As long as he thought about it, Li Ruoshui stared at him for a long time.
He looked into her eyes, but he still didn't think about it too clearly, but he just instinctively wanted to surrender, and instinctively wanted to indulge in it.
"Okay."
It is also instinctive to say the word.
His jet-black eyes turned out of the window, his brows widened, and he asked her softly.
"Do you still want to play today?"
"playing what?"
Li Ruoshui looked over and saw a small boat floating on the river under the window, and the lights on the boat were reflected on the river, like little balls lit up.
"Ah, wait"
Li Ruoshui didn't look at it for a long time, and was rolled out of the window by Lu Zhiyao.
The little Er who was delivering wine everywhere stared, and hurriedly ran to the window to look, while the talented people who were chanting poetry and writing right beside him couldn't help but stare at them in a stunned manner.
Some houses built near the river in Suzhou are right by the water, and when you open the door, you will see a rippling river.
Unfortunately, this pub was built in the latter way.
In the dense warm light, the two of them are like immortal couples flying down, with the corners of their clothes flying, and they have indescribable beauty and dreams.
Li Ruoshui hugged Lu Zhiyao's waist tightly, the sash on his chest fluttered, and the skirt under his feet rose a lot. He seemed to be as calm as the people around him.
But no one knew that because of the sudden fall, her heart was beating wildly uncontrollably, and she didn't regain her senses until she landed on the boat.
The boatman also looked at them in surprise, because there were suddenly two more people on the boat, and the boat couldn't help swaying from side to side, and the ripples slowly spread into the distance.
"This is Suzhou, we take a boat home, and we can see the light market on the way."
Lu Zhiyao sat down with her, leaned his head on her shoulder, chuckled lightly, then raised his head slightly, the bridge of his straight nose touched her side neck, slightly pressing her pulse.
"Your heartbeat is quickening again, isn't it fun?"
Li Ruoshui didn't dare to do anything before, but now she can push him away and even say those two words.
"abnormal."
The young man in the restaurant waved to them suddenly: "Guest officer, I didn't give you any money."
Lu Zhiyao raised a smile at will, Li Ruoshui took out the money from the purse and gave it to him, and Lu Zhiyao threw it backhand into Xiaoer's arms.
When the boatman saw that they were rich and they didn't eat Bawang's meal, they began to shake the scull and slowly rowed forward.
After giving the money, Lu Zhiyao continued to put his hand on her waist. He looked at the market by the bank, but his eyes finally fell on Li Ruoshui.
Alcohol can make people lose their minds. He leaned over to Li Ruoshui's ear and said the words that were hidden in his heart again.
"I love you."
The sound of breath penetrated into her eardrum and sprayed on her auricle. Li Ruoshui blinked and looked at the sky. The moon seemed to be hiding behind the clouds.
"……I love you too."
Li Ruoshui looked at the moon and couldn't help but say this.
Lu Zhiyao was silent. After a while, he suddenly got up and looked at her. His cheeks were slightly red, his black hair was raised in the night wind, and he looked at her with some puzzled and puzzled eyes.
"You love me, but you still have to leave me." He tilted his head slightly, his smile like a spring breeze no longer raised.
"I do not understand."
He approached Li Ruoshui, his beautiful eyelashes lit up in an arc under the moonlight, but trembled like a butterfly wing struggling on the ground.
He grabbed Li Ruoshui's hand, like a drowning man caught Wei Wei's life-saving straw.
"I don't understand, can you tell me why?"
There are people from Suzhou in the distance, but Suzhou is not a small place, it is not a small town that can be walked all day.
He was a blind man and a child when he first arrived here. At that time, his master had already been buried in the earth, and he came here to live on the so-called reward order.
Lu Zhiyao used to have short hair because he couldn't comb his hair, and no one had the patience to comb it for him.
For convenience, he simply cut it to his shoulders, so he didn't need to take care of it. Even if the wind blows, he won't be blocked from sight.
But he was actually not very suitable for being separated from the lonely life in the past and being alone in such a prosperous city.
There was so much around him that he didn't understand.
For example, many children say that he is a lunatic with messy hair.
He actually didn't quite understand what Qiao looked like, but it was probably because of the short hair. He didn't care, but in order to be less annoying, he simply kept his hair long.
Another example is that a thief will be killed, beggars will fight each other for territory, and someone will come to take his life just because he does a good job in the reward task...
There are too many difficult to understand, but for him, if you don't understand, you don't understand, and he is not interested.
But he didn't understand the fact that Li Ruoshui loved him but wanted to leave him, but he was eager to know the answer.
He also loves Li Ruoshui, but why doesn't he want to leave her at all?
How can he make Li Ruoshui be like him?
……Yes.
&—zwnj; must be that she doesn’t love him enough.
He suddenly evoked a laugh, his obsessed eyes fell on Li Ruoshui's face, he slowly kissed it, and his soft lips fell on the corner of her lips.
She likes to drink sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine, and there is a faint sweet fragrance of osmanthus on her lips. He stretched out the tip of his tongue and wrapped the fragrance into his mouth, closing his eyes.
"I love you. Can you love me more&—zwnj;?"
His voice was very soft. If he hadn't been too close to her, the words would have been carried by the evening wind and blown into the distance and could not enter her ears.
Li Ruoshui sighed softly, turned around and embraced Lu Zhi, she looked at the moon melancholy and patted him on the back.
She loved him more every day than the day before, but she couldn't leave the rest behind.
"We'll make things clear tomorrow, how about that?"
Lu Zhiyao was silent for a while, then nodded.
"Okay."
The boat swayed forward, and there were many young couples on the boats that came and went, but there were no couples as close as they were.
Passing by many stores and walking near the street where they lived, Li Ruoshui paid the money and helped Lu Kao to get off the boat.
"I know that you are seasick, that you are drunk with rice wine, and that you can't touch your waist. What should I do? I have discovered all the weaknesses in the ceiling of force."
She walked forward while holding Luchiao, all the merchants in the market knew them and looked at them with surprise.
"I only have one weakness."
He replied in a low voice, his expression returned to his previous gentleness, and the redness on his face disappeared a lot, probably because the energy of those few glasses of rice wine was over.
Li Ruoshui curled his lips: "You are such a strange person. How could anyone say such... immodest words so gently."
She originally wanted to say bking, but his expression was too gentle, and it really didn't fit the word.
The atmosphere between them is harmonious, and it seems that there is no tension that is about to confess tomorrow, and there is no gap.
The two walked to the door with their fingers intertwined, and when they were about to open the door, Li Ruoshui's ear suddenly heard a clear online prompt.
【HE system is here to serve you wholeheartedly. The system introspection time has come, all functions have been restored, and the detection of what happens when going offline is about to begin. 】
【Situation testing...】
Hearing the sound of the system, Li Ruoshui couldn't help jumping up in his heart, and there was even a little panic.
Lu Zhiyao said I love you so many times before, will it be detected by the system, and then reach the final 1% by accident...
She was so nervous that her hand interlocking with Lu Zhizhi couldn't help but lose her strength, her eyelashes drooped and the corners of her lips pursed.
[The detection is completed, there is no abnormality, the favorability of the mission target is currently 99%, please continue to work hard! 】
Li Ruoshui immediately loosened his shoulders when he heard the words, and Lu Zhizhi turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, just a little emotional."
She took a deep breath and pushed open the door. The flowers in the courtyard had closed their buds at this time, and there were only occasional crickets chirping in the small courtyard.
Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyelashes and responded in a low voice: "Really."
Even if Lu Zhiyao said I love you, it didn't reach 100. How can the remaining 1% reach it?
She thought so, but her doubts at the moment only accounted for a little bit, and the rest was all happiness.
She was really afraid that the system would suddenly prompt her that the strategy was successful, and then send her home without her being prepared.
In fact, according to Lu Zhiyao's behavior, she wouldn't be surprised even if her good feelings were broken.
But now it seems that the strategy is not as simple as saying I love you.
As for tomorrow, what will happen...
