Chapter 53 Five Fireflies

On the second day, when Shen Ci went downstairs, several girls and guards were having breakfast, only Mrs. Shen and Mother Xuan were not there.

Seeing him coming down, Shen Pan'er quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, and said, "Second brother, you are too lazy, you didn't come down until we had almost finished our breakfast."

Shen Ci ignored her, glanced at Ye Lingwu who was eating seriously with her head down, walked over and sat opposite her, "Are the buns delicious?"

Ye Lingwu paused, then slowly raised her head and said, "It's delicious."

"Really... I'll try it."

Shen Ci reached out and snatched the steamed stuffed bun from Ye Lingwu's bowl, took a bite, nodded and said, "Well, it's really good."

"..." Ye Lingwu clenched her teeth, and then let go.

Forget it, don't give him general knowledge.

Shen Pan'er pursed her lips and said, "Second brother asks the store for a drawer if he wants to eat. How can he snatch sister Lingwu? Is there any elder brother like you?"

Shen Ci lazily raised the wooden chopsticks, pointed at Shen Pan'er's nose and said, "What brother, I am your elder brother at most." Who will be the elder brother of this girl.

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Shen came back from outside.

Shen Pan'er hurriedly said: "Grandma came back just in time, and the second brother is bullying sister Lingwu again."

Shen Ci gave her a contemptuous look.The children also came to complain about this set.

Old lady Shen said: "Stop making trouble, hurry up and leave after dinner, don't delay the time, you won't be able to make it to the inn where you rest."

Before the time came, the team from Ningbei Hou's Mansion set off again.

The farther it is from the capital, the south is full of famous mountains and rivers, the official road is caught in the mountains and it is not easy to walk, the bumps in the carriage are not disgusting, and finally entered the boundary of the moon after ten days.

The night is gradually approaching, the mountains and forests are like deep water, no matter how many noises there are, it is like throwing a stone into a deep pool, and there will be no big waves. A simple tea shop where pedestrians have tea and rest.

Ye Lingwu was the one who took care of the most along the way. She was busy serving tea and water, and she was the only one in the group besides Xuan Nai who could order her around. She was able to take a breather when she finished her busy work and waited for Old Madam Shen to rest. .

There are mountains on both sides of the tea shop, and Ye Lingwu walked up the mountain path to find a stone and sat down, and she could just overlook the tea shop with her eyesight.

Tonight's moon is still big and round, and the night sky is also full of stars. The moonlight falls through the wide gaps in the leaves, which is refreshing.

"You know how to find a place, so I can find it easily."

Ye Lingwu's back froze, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw Shen Ci walking towards this side from the mountain path on the east side. He was wearing a large black cloak, and his clothes fluttered as he walked. It was rare to see him not wearing any clothes. red.

"Why are you here?" Ye Lingwu frowned.

"Why, it sounds like you don't welcome me."

Shen Ci stopped when he was only a few steps away from Ye Lingwu, turned to look up at the endless galaxy, and sighed: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, no...it should be the beauties under the moon. In short, who can say that the moonlight is more beautiful."

Ye Lingwu raised her head suddenly, and said, "If Second Young Master Shen is sleepy, go to sleep, don't talk foolishly here."

Shen Ci said: "Haven't you become a success after I boasted you?"

Ye Lingwu said angrily: "The way you praise people is really special. If you and I didn't know each other, it would only make people feel that you are an unscrupulous disciple."

"Really, then, my cousin, has you ever seen such a handsome apprentice?"

Ye Lingwu glared at him.

Shen Ci was helpless: "I asked if you could be more friendly when you saw me, and keep the breeze and moon to accompany the flowers to bloom. What you said that night, now I think I did it wrong. I will apologize to you. How about when it's over?"

"...Apologize?" Ye Lingwu asked puzzled.

Shen Ci hooked the corners of his mouth mysteriously, and slowly stretched out his hand hidden under the wide cloak. His bony hand held a bright yellow light, which was more dazzling than the moonlight in the darkness of the forest.

Ye Lingwu was stunned, and after a closer look, she realized that it was a firefly wrapped in thin silk.

"How is it, isn't it beautiful?" Shen Ci is like a child asking for credit from an adult, with a pair of fox eyes that are clear and clear, completely different from the flair in the eyes when they first met, and the smile at the corner of the mouth is fluorescent in bright yellow The sky is like the stars circulating in the sky.

A gust of cool wind blew up Ye Lingwu's broken hair at the temples, her frowning brows slowly relaxed at this moment, a corner of her iceberg-like cold face melted, and she said, "...for me?"

Shen Ci stepped forward, holding the silk silk full of fireflies in one hand, and untied the knot with the other hand. The silk spread out, and the fireflies danced around in the dark night like blooming flowers, tightly encircling the two of them.

Ye Lingwu suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In her memory, except for her mother and grandfather, no one seemed to do anything to please her. Although she knew in her heart that this might just be Shen Ci's temporary interest, but people are not grass, how can there be no fluctuations in her heart.

"Is this what you just caught?"

"Nonsense, is it possible that I conjured it out of thin air?" Shen Ci lazily clasped his hands on his chest, "How about it, isn't it pretty?"

Ye Lingwu suppressed her joy, and said lightly: "It's pretty good-looking, but I didn't expect the Second Young Master to have such a leisurely mood, and even the way of apologizing is special. The Second Young Master used to apologize to girls like this?"

"There are a lot of ways to apologize. You don't have to worry about who you are, like your cousin." Shen Ci curled the corner of his mouth, "Naturally, you have to spend some thought."

Ye Lingwu lowered the corners of her raised mouth, gave him a strange look, and said, "After the second son left Beijing, why does he always say strange things to me?"

Shen Ci resentfully said: "It's strange to talk to you? Do you know how many girls in the capital usually talk to me and I don't care, but you are the only one who is cold and 'goodbye' before saying a few words."

Ye Lingwu frowned slightly, and looked at Shen Cichao: "I'm different from other girls, especially in the capital." I have no father or mother, and I left Mrs. Shen without anyone to support me. The trick of disguising me may eventually lead me to the abyss one day.

"...You're right, a girl who can be more heroic than a man on the polo field is indeed different from other girls," Shen Ci's brows were rare and serious, bright as stars, and his eyes were deep and fixed. Staring at Ye Lingwu intently.

The surrounding fireflies have not yet dissipated, and they are flying all over the sky between the two people's sights. It should have been an extremely romantic scene, but it was broken by Shen Ci's next sentence: "You can cry as you say, act as you want, and even dare to act." Take the initiative with Xiaojun, you are the only one among the girls in the capital."

"..."

Ye Lingwu said weakly: "The crying that time was indeed acted out, but the grievances were real, right? I don't want to say some high-sounding words to explain my little tricks to make myself noble, and I don't want to say words that belittle myself. I am a man of duty, and if others do not provoke me, I will never argue with them."

As soon as the words fell, a chuckle came from above her head, Ye Lingwu turned her head to look, and saw Shen Ci put his hand on the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"You..." Ye Lingwu said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Ci suppressed his smile, cleared his throat, and said teasingly: "Laughing at someone with a thick skin, who is obviously the most dishonest but claims to be honest, it seems that the ointment really worked last time, and it really didn't leave you any scars. "

"..." Debt collector!

Ye Lingwu stood up unhappily, and said, "I'm sleepy, go back to sleep, and bid farewell to Second Young Master."

When he was almost in front of the carriage, Ye Lingwu dared to look back at the place where he had just come down. The light of fireflies in the darkness had not yet dissipated, and he didn't know if Shen Ci was still sitting there alone at this moment.
