Chapter 214 Life is like a play (10)
Wen Chan looked at him sideways, always feeling that he was a little weird.
"Why did you go to the North Courtyard without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
That is where the owner lives. The three courtyards are quite far apart, and there are several walls blocking them. It was impossible to hear the quarrel between Aunt Liu and the mayor.
The only explanation is that he sneaked there in the middle of the night.
I thought that this child didn't even go to the toilet to pee, but peed outside in someone else's yard.
Wen Chan had a subtle feeling in her heart.
This kid...
Not polite and hygienic!
Sure enough, Zhong Lian’s eyes were a little erratic.
"I...I just got lost. I was passing by..."
He didn't dare to look at Wen Chan anymore, subconsciously took two steps back, then turned around and ran, "I'm going to see them, why haven't I seen them yet?" Bring you the water."
Wen Chan looked at his leaving figure and snorted coldly.
But what he said is right. In this case, it is better to find an opportunity to visit Aunt Liu and inquire about the situation.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Chan got up and went out.
While the mayor is not at home, some things must be done quickly.
When Wen Chan came back, she had a bag of apples in her hand.
She walked boldly towards the north courtyard, and as soon as she stepped in, she smelled a strong smell of incense, which was a bit pungent.
I could vaguely hear the sound of monks chanting sutras, but there was no one around, let alone any monks.
Facing the north gate is a Buddhist hall, in which stands a golden Buddha statue, which is majestic, solemn and spectacular.
Under the Buddha statue is an offering table. There are some not-so-fresh fruits on both sides of the offering table. In the middle is a large incense burner with an incense stick as thick as two fingers inserted on it.
In front of the altar table is a futon with no one on it.
The incense seemed to be burning a little, I guess it was inserted not long ago.
Wen Chan stared at the Buddha statue for a while, feeling that it was no different from other Buddha statues. She didn’t know which Buddha she was worshiping.
She withdrew her gaze, turned and walked towards the room next to her that looked slightly larger.
Her steps suddenly faltered, she shook her head, raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows.
The smell of this incense is so strong that I feel a little dizzy after smelling it for a long time.
When she recovered, the light in the room in front of her came on.
A woman wearing a cheongsam walked out from inside, "Who is it?"
Aunt Liu's door was ajar and she looked at Wen Chan with some confusion.
She is called Aunt Liu, but she actually looks to be in her thirties. She wears her hair in a simple bun with a hairpin, like a young lady from the late Qing Dynasty.
Wen Chan was stunned for a moment, calmed down, and said hello: "Hello, I am a tourist staying here. I may stay for a while, so I'm sorry to bother you during this time. I just went out to buy some fruits. , I wanted to give it to you and the mayor to try.”
She was staying here and felt it was not good to disturb the host’s family, so she brought some fruit.
There is nothing wrong with this move.
Seeing that she had no ill intentions, Aunt Liu replied: "It turns out that I am a tourist. Just call me Aunt Liu. No need for fruit. I never interfere in what my lover does. Since it is he who invited you to come and stay. Yes, then you can live peacefully without spending any money.”
"It's a bit awkward to call Aunt Liu, you look very young." Wen Chan said sweetly.
Aunt Liu covered her mouth and chuckled, "You're not young anymore, it's just a title."
Wen Chan also laughed, "Then Aunt Liu, there's no need to be polite to me, it's just some ordinary fruit, no How much is it worth? I think the fruits in the Buddhist hall are a little stale. It would be good if I buy them fresh. "
"Ah, is that so?" I heard from the Buddhist hall. The fruit was not fresh, and Aunt Liu finally had some big reactions.
“Obviously it was still watery yesterday.”
She said as she walked in the direction of the Buddhist temple.
Wen Chan noticed that she was walking in small steps, and then discovered that she was wearing flowerpot-soled shoes that were thin at the top and wide at the bottom, flat in front and round in the back.
Wen Chan raised her eyebrows. When this kind of shoes was popular, they were usually worn by noble women.
I think the conditions were very good before I came to Aunt Liu’s house.
Cangyang Town not only has no commercialization, but also maintains the original flavor of ancient times. Even the people can maintain the ancient charm.
"Oh, how many times have I said that I don't want him to light this kind of incense, but I still order it! This kind of fragrance is so strong that it makes people uncomfortable smelling it, and it is definitely not good to be smoked by fruit."
Aunt Liu Whispering something.
Finally, he looked back at the bag in Wen Chan's hand.
Wen Chan handed it to her knowingly.
Aunt Liu smiled happily.
She is very beautiful, and her whole body exudes the charm and temperament that a mature woman should have. Her facial features are regular and gentle, making people feel very comfortable just looking at her.
She reached out and took the bag handed over by Wen Chan, "Thank you, little girl. This kind of thing requires sincerity. Even the fruits offered are rotten. How can the Buddha be happy? You give it to him I brought fresh fruit, and I am sincere. I will have sweet dreams tonight."
Wen Chan stood at the door and watched her movements, "Bless me with my aunt's words."
While changing fruits, Aunt Liu said to Wen Chan: "This kind of fragrance is too strong and can easily make people faint. If you have nothing else to do, you should go back first and wait for the incense to burn out. Come and say goodbye.”
“Once lit, incense candles cannot be extinguished. It is unlucky to do so, so we have to endure it for the rest of the night.”
"I have nothing to entertain you. Come over for a meal tomorrow at noon. I'll ask my lover to buy some delicious food and I'll cook it myself!"
She invited Wen Chan warmly.
Wen Chan sighed with emotion, "Auntie and the mayor have a really good relationship."
Aunt Liu seemed a little shy and said without raising her head: "Hey... we are an old couple now, but We have a really good relationship. We haven’t had any quarrels in all these years. He listens to me in everything and loves me very much.”
“...” Wen Chan listened quietly without making a sound.
Aunt Liu continued: "We women are extremely lucky to find a husband who loves us in our lifetime."
"That's right." She suddenly glanced at Wen Chan and asked curiously : "Are you married?"
This is probably the question that elders like to ask the most.
Wen Chan told the truth, "No, but I have a boyfriend."
Aunt Liu nodded, "That's not bad. If you think he is nice and dotes on you, you can get married. ”
Wen Chan was silent for two seconds, thought carefully, and then said, "I dote on him very much. He should think that I am a good person, and he also wants me to marry him. I will consider getting married."
Often if you show your kindness, the other party will take it as a proposal and shout "I do".
Aunt Liu: "?"
This is a bit too impactful for Aunt Liu, who has always been particular about men favoring women.
She looked at Wen Chan's serious expression with a strange expression. After a while, she slowly said, "You'd better leave first."
Wen Chan smiled and turned to leave.
Suddenly thought of something, he stopped again, "Then can I bring my boyfriend over at noon tomorrow?"
Aunt Liu nodded, "Of course, I can also help you check on people. , Don’t worry, Auntie has a good taste.”
“Then I’ll trouble Auntie.”
Wen Chan responded and left the North Courtyard.
As soon as she stepped out of the gate of the North Courtyard, the sound of chanting that lingered in her ears disappeared, and the strong fragrance lingered in her breath, swirling twice, and dissipated when the wind blew.
It was as if she had never been in it.
Wen Chan felt a little strange and went back to the yard to take a look.
The inexplicable chanting sound sounded in her mind again, and the pungent smell of incense sticks kept entering her nose.
Aunt Liu was still standing in the Buddhist hall, as if she felt her coming in again. He looked back at her from a distance, "What's wrong?"
The incense smoke in the Buddhist hall was a bit loud and the lights were dim. Wen Chan felt that she was vague and hazy, as if she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
She waved her hand towards Aunt Liu and withdrew.
This door seems to have a layer of barrier, isolating everything inside in the courtyard. If you don't go in, you won't find the secret inside.
Wen Chan stood at the door for a while before returning to the west courtyard.
Zhong Lian was sitting in the room, guarding the steaming tub, looking at her aggrievedly.
"Cicada, don't call me when you go out." He sat motionless on the stool, as if waiting for Wen Chan to go over and coax him.
Wen Chan walked over, sat down opposite him, and said, "You lied to me."
Three words, Zhong Lian panicked, "How did I lie to you? ? Cicada, don't talk nonsense! I really can't let you go out and come back. You don’t love me anymore!”
Wen Chan didn’t agree with him and looked at him sideways, “You said the mayor and Aunt Liu don’t have a good relationship. I just went to ask, and Aunt Liu said they have a bad relationship. Well, you’ll invite me over for dinner tomorrow at noon.”
"How is that possible!" Zhong Lian didn't quite believe it.
"How is it impossible? I will take you there at noon tomorrow?" Wen Chan raised her eyebrows.
Speaking of this, Zhong Lian was a little hesitant, as if he was afraid of something.
"Well...can you not go?"
Wen Chan nodded, "Okay! But I promised her to go with her boyfriend tomorrow. If you don't go, I will. Ask your Uncle Qin to pretend..."
"I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!"
Zhang Lian pounced towards Wen Chan.
He shamelessly squeezed into Wen Chan's arms, insisting on her hug.
"Why don't I go! You said you only have one boyfriend, and that's me, no one else!"
He climbed into Wen Chan's arms and sat down, holding his arms around her Wen Chan's neck forced her to admit that she only had one boyfriend.
"Say it! Say it quickly!"
"Childish." Wen Chan picked him up and threw him into the tub next to him, "Go to bed after taking a bath!"
Zhong Lian: "..."
He fluttered his arms in the bathtub, and finally managed to steady the edge of the bathtub to prevent himself from drowning.
A veil was thrown over his head, blocking his sight.
He pulled it off suddenly, wanting to say something. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wen Chan's smooth and white back appearing in front of him, and he seemed to be able to smell a faint fragrance emanating from her in his breath.
This, this, this...
She was actually taking off her clothes in front of him!
Finally Lian heard the sound of his useless swallowing.
He quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, leaving only his eyes exposed, and his eyes followed Wen Chan's movements of taking off her clothes.
She moved slowly and made no sound.
Finally Lian could hear his heartbeat clearly.
Is that waist and legs something he can see?
He felt like he was going to have a nosebleed.
Zhou Lian firmly pressed the veil on her face, trying not to let the nosebleed flow out.
Until Wen Chan on the other side turned around.
Plop——
Zhou Lian rolled his eyes and fell back into the tub in a daze, letting the warm water get into his ears, nose and eyes.
There is no shortage of appreciators for beautiful things.
This is called seduction!
That’s what it’s called!
When Zhong Lian thought about how he had made so much noise just now in the theater backstage just to get Wen Chan to focus on him, he felt his face burning with panic.
Compared with Wen Chan's move, his move was almost silent and dwarfed by the big one.
"Don't dirty the water. If you don't want to wash, go get me a bucket."
Wen Chan walked over and lifted Zhong Lian out of the bathtub.
Zhong Lian still held the wet handkerchief in his hand and covered his mouth and nose with it, as if he wanted to cover himself to death.
"I want to wash...I...I'll go get water for Cicada first, and I'll come back later to wash...that...don't wash too fast! We'll be together later!"
< br>He stared at Wen Chan as she stammered these words, watched as Wen Chan stepped into the tub, turned around and ran away.
Wen Chan was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Take a comfortable bath.
Her body has not changed. Even if he no longer remembers it, he can't hide the fact that he has seen it many times.
Every time he pretends to be like an innocent boy, but when it comes down to it, it’s all just tricks.
Could this be the kind of temperament that men like, pure in bed and hot in bed?
But she is a woman?
Well...she actually likes this kind of man too.
After a while, Wen Chan saw Zhong Lian coming in with a large bathtub filled with water.
He placed the bucket next to Wen Chan and quickly closed the door.
Even if this is a separate yard, you can't take a shower without closing the door! What should I do if someone sees me?
After doing all this, he quickly took off his wet clothes and jumped into Wen Chan's bathtub.
“Cicada, here I come!”
Wen Chan: "I'm leaving."
She climbed into another bathtub.
Zhou Lian: "?"
He sneaked in and wanted to crawl in.
Wen Chan suddenly said, "Do you have any clothes? Find me one."
Finally, Lian retracted his hand from the side of the tub and replied with a blushing face: "Yes!"
Super loud!
Boyfriend shirt!
He understands!
Sure enough, Cicada still knows how to play.
He waited for him to crawl out, find his clothes, put them on the stool next to him, and then secretly climbed into Wen Chan's bathtub while she closed her eyes to rest.
Not even two seconds after entering, Wen Chan stood up and left.
Zhou Lian: "???"
Why!
Wen Chan stood outside and glanced at Zhong Lian, whose face was full of resentment. She didn't say anything, but sighed heavily.
Finally Lian understood.
She dislikes herself.
Damn it!
He must prove it to her tomorrow morning!
But Cicada looks really good in his clothes...
Even with the big red embroidered peony quilt covering the bed, he still thought it looked good.
I suddenly fell in love with this tacky four-piece bed set.
Finally, Lian calmed down in the bathtub for a while before coming out.
He pretended that nothing had happened, climbed onto the bed, and lay down inside Wen Chan, keeping looking at her from the corner of his eyes.
Seeing her fiddling with the watch on her hand, Zhong Lian suddenly raised her wrist, "Look, I have one too! Cicada, we are so destined, we all bought the same watch."
