Chapter 18 Clingy


Chapter 18

After winter, the weather gets even colder, and the wind doesn’t have to be strong. If you walk against the wind with your bare face, it will feel like dense needles pricking your face.

Xu Lianlang pulled up the collar and thought about making a hat or something to keep warm.

She walked in front, and Lu Jieming followed behind. One tall figure and one short figure were stretched very long under the lamp.

It was late at night, the stars had faded a lot, and only a lone moon was still shining. The sound of the two people's footsteps could be heard clearly in this silent night, and even the subtle sound of the friction of clothing could be heard clearly.

Xu Lianlang was a little confused now. Lu Jieming was usually silent, and she had nothing to say. After Eunuch Li Ri found him, her subconscious thought was, had he not seen her for too long and gone out to look for her?

But as soon as the idea came up, she rejected it.

How could it be possible? He was like the stones she threw into the lake. No matter what she did, she couldn't warm him up. Even if there was temporary heat, it would be gone in the blink of an eye. She could only throw it into the lake with vigor. , in exchange for a muffled sound.

However, Lu Jieming was not willing to give her even a muffled sound.

She was hurt by his words and felt that what she had done during this period was even more ridiculous. He was the master and she was the servant, so what were the excessive actions she did as a servant? That night, they What does it mean to sleep in each other's arms?

His world was so difficult to enter that Xu Lianlang had to admit that at the dinner table that day, she flinched for the first time.

So, she avoided him, and even thought that those kindnesses were enough for her.

These days, her efforts should be worth the kindness given to her by mother and son, so her heart was moved for a moment by Eunuch Li Ri's words tonight.

Going to the palace to serve the queen is really a beautiful job. If she is careful and cautious, she may be better off than her aunt when she leaves the palace at the age of twenty-five.

But why, whenever she thought of leaving Shuyun Pavilion, her heart felt as if she had been scratched by a cat, with wisps of pain slowly seeping into her bone marrow, screaming in pain.

She stepped onto the stone steps and walked slowly step by step, making her shadow become longer.

The wild cat on the roadside jumped out of the bushes and peered at her with its big green eyes. Xu Lianlang stopped. The wild cat seemed to feel something, and it called "meow" and rubbed its body against the hem of her skirt.

The cry was soft and soft, and it brought out a bit of lingering and a lot of desire to speak. It circled her legs, trying to keep her here, stay here to guard her.

Xu Lianlang turned around and faced Lu Jieming's eyes. She didn't know what the rolling emotions in his eyes were, but she felt that those clear and beautiful black pupils like glass balls and the cat beside his legs The eyes are exactly the same.

The cat refused to leave, so Xu Lianlang didn't leave either. Looking at his red cheeks, fingertips, and auricles, she knew that he was wearing less clothes when he came out, and now he was shivering from the cold.

You are a stupid kid who doesn’t know how to wear more clothes according to the weather temperature.

The cat next to her legs meowed softly twice. Maybe it was because the cat was so good at meowing, or maybe it was because the frozen red earlobes of the person in front of her looked like her favorite candied haws. In short, Xu Lianlang suddenly I was relieved.

Yes, he is still a child, why should he care about a child?

He is still young and does not understand the ways of the world and the twists and turns of the adult world. He has been hurt too much, so it is normal to be more careful.

She claimed to have done a lot for him, but when she counted them down, it turned out to be only a few.

I just brought the quilt and pawned the bracelet... Thinking about it carefully, it was really a piece of cake. It was normal for Lu Jieming not to be moved.

She felt sorry for herself and wanted to give up, which was really petty.

She thought a little bitterly, in fact, the seventh prince was right. His master and her servant were destined from birth. Even if he was in a mud pool and lacked a lot of gold and nobility, as long as the Great Yan Dynasty was here One day, he was the prince's grandson.

She had used these words to beat the maids in the Rehe Palace, and now she was also using them to beat herself.

She had to remember her duty well. Even if she regarded him as her brother in her heart, she could not show it. He was the master and he was the prince. She had to restrain herself. She must not disregard her dignity.

Xu Lianlang sighed deeply, feeling helpless that he had found another reason for him, but he finally felt at ease, and the pain at the top of his heart finally passed.

Lu Jieming didn't know that Xu Lianlang's mind had already been spinning around in this short period of time. He focused on the cat. The cat was very clingy. It rubbed forward and backward, left and right, and squinted. He stretched his beard with his eyes, as if after rubbing this person, he was mine.

He had heard that when a cat rubs around like this, it is marking, possessing, and declaring that this person is its own.

He endured the sudden fire for a few moments and tried hard to press down.

Just as Xu Lianlang was about to turn around and continue walking up the steps, he felt a sudden tightening in his waist, and his face, which was flushed from the cold, instantly pressed against his.

The distance between them suddenly shortened, and his face was almost touching her soft breasts. Xu Lianlang was frightened by his movements and backed away. When he finally retreated to a normal distance, he realized that he was chasing the cat with his feet. .

He didn't move much and held back his strength. He just touched the cat's torso with his shoe, urging it to move faster.

The cat didn't know what happened. It was chased away from that place, so it left that place. Shi Shiran jumped up a few steps and came to Xu Lianlang's side again, rubbing and rubbing.

Lu Jieming stared at the cat, and the redness on his face became stronger for a moment. No one could tell whether it was because he was cold again or because he was angry.

He already knew that he couldn't keep her, but why did he still need a cat to show off his power with him.

In other words, a cat can spread the word and tell its partners that this person smells like me and is mine, but he cannot. He felt powerless and angry, he was even worse than a wild cat.

What he heard tonight made him quickly feel a sense of urgency. He thought it would be some time before she left Shuyun Pavilion, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

His reason told him over and over again that it would be really good for her to let her leave.

But his heart was desperately longing for her.

In the end, reason won and suppressed this weak heart that begged for mercy.

He was so angry and childish that he got into trouble with the cat. Where the cat was, he would be there. If the cat clung to Xu Lianlang, he would cling even closer.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Lianlang couldn't help laughing, "Why are you making trouble with a cat?"

It was obvious that it had not been long since they had parted on bad terms at that meal, but it seemed like a long time since they heard Xu Lianlang's smiling voice again.

Her voice is clear, with the charm of a daughter, but also a bit hearty, crisp and delicate, with a smile, which makes it even more beautiful, like the warm sun, lying on the horizon, quietly bringing light.

It was great, he thought, to still be able to hear such a sound.

Before she leaves for the palace, he must treat her well, no longer sarcastic, no longer insinuations, no longer indifferent to each other every day, he must cherish the last days of hearing her voice.

Even more, I need to remember her appearance inch by inch.

So, this time, he responded to her words very well, "If a cat is dirty, it will stain the hem of your skirt."

Xu Lianlang didn't react for a moment, "What?"

She never imagined that he would worry about his skirt getting dirty.

She saw that he lowered his head and his earlobes became more rosy, and she couldn't bear it, "Your Highness, let's walk faster, it's too cold."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked up a few more stone steps. Seeing that Lu Jieming had not followed, "Your Highness, are you tired? Do you need a slave to carry you a few steps?"

It is normal for a maid to carry a young prince on her back. The young prince is playful and always runs far away. When he comes back, he says he is tired. At such times, it is usually the wet nurse or maid who carries him back and carries him back.

Xu Lianlang didn't think this was an overreach.

Ten-year-old Lu Jieming is still relatively young.

She squatted down and waited for a while. Just when she thought Lu Jieming wouldn't come up, she suddenly felt a weight on her back.

A pair of small hands that had been frozen for a long time went around her neck and placed them neatly on both sides of her shoulders without touching her skin.

Xu Lianlang felt that Lu Jieming today was completely different from the unkind kid that day. He thought it was probably because he heard Eunuch Li Ri's words and thought she was leaving, so he became a little clingy and wanted to keep him.

She suddenly laughed. She really couldn't figure out Lu Jieming's temper.

Does this mean you don't like her, but you don't want her to go?

She stood up steadily, put her hands through Lu Jieming's knees, and bumped him up. He was still the same. She had been here for a long time, but she couldn't make him fat, and he didn't seem to grow in height. .

Under the clear light of the crescent moon, shadows large and small overlapped and swayed step by step to the front of the Towering Cloud Pavilion.

She wanted to squat down and let Lu Jieming come down. Lu Jieming realized her actions and let go first, jumping off her back, saving her from bending down and bending her knees.

When he stood in front of her, Lu Jieming's eyes were suddenly filled with water. The child's eyes were even bigger. Although he had narrow phoenix eyes, his pupils were not small, and his moist appearance made him look like a deer. Eye.

Timid.

Xu Lianlang didn't understand why he showed timidity, especially when facing her, he shouldn't show timidity.

They stood in silence for a long time, and no one went back to the room first. Xu Lianlang felt that since she had made up her mind, he should not worry about her leaving anymore.

After taking a few deep breaths, she smiled slightly and said, "The place Eunuch Li Ri said is a good place to go, but it is not suitable for me. I thought about it along the way and decided to stay in Shuyun Pavilion."

Lu Jieming's dark eyes looked dazed at first, like something peeping out of a heavy fog. He tried hard to distinguish, but could only make out a shape. Then the fog dissipated, revealing his true heart that he had not yet had time to hide, dots of stars. The joy slowly bloomed, and then stopped abruptly before it could reach a grand scale.

His face was full of sadness and paleness.
