the moon is not as good as you

Chapter 33
After making a guess, Jiang Ningyu went in.

"Hello." She was always generous when facing strangers, "I'm Lin Xuyue's classmate, may I go to offer my condolences?" After saying that, she handed over the money.

Those people were stunned.

One of them looked haggard, but handsome, he hesitated for a moment when he looked at the middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to Lin Xuyue, then gave the gift, and said politely, "Xuyue's classmate, of course it's fine."

Then took her to the mourning hall.

The door was open, with double doors. The middle-aged man didn't go in, but said gently, "Xuyue is guarding inside. If you want, you can stay for dinner."

"Okay, thank you uncle." After watching him leave, Jiang Ningyu tidied up her clothes a little.Fortunately, today I considered wearing a pair of wide-leg trousers for a long trip, and the top is also light yellow plain flowers, fresh and elegant, which is convenient for me at this time.

She glanced left and right and didn't see Lu Li, so she lowered her expression and stepped inside.

The arrangement of the mourning hall, which I have only seen on TV, is a solemn coffin, portraits, incense burners, elegiac couplets and flowers, and an ever-burning lamp is lit on the long table.

But it's a little strange, half of the colors of the mourning hall are bright and half heavy, like joy and mourning, as if there are two groups of people holding different ideas.

Lin Xuyue didn't wear sackcloth and filial piety like her relatives, she was wearing ordinary casual clothes, sitting on a chair beside the coffin, with one hand propped on the table against her temple to close her eyes, her expression was slightly tired.

When I got closer, I found the dark circles under the long eyelashes, the fragility and loneliness hidden deep in the seemingly tough body, which was inexplicably distressing.

Jiang Ningyu first bowed to the coffin, then walked lightly behind the man, and stretched out her hands towards his shoulders.

The moment he came into contact with him, the man sat up straighter, and said in a clear and sweet voice with a little displeasure, "Mom, I told you not to bother me."

do not bother me?It's like I've never heard him say that.Probably the same for his own mother.

Jiang Ningyu smiled inexplicably, put her hand on it again, and then pressed it lightly.

"Aren't you tired after sitting for so long?"

The moment she spoke, Jiang Ningyu clearly felt that his body froze and stopped moving.Also forgot to resist.

It seemed to scare him.

Thinking that he wouldn't make a big fuss in the mourning hall, Jiang Ningyu gently pressed his shoulder.

This behavior was a bit intimate, and it shouldn't be something that a person who has several times determined not to disturb him should do.

But Jiang Ningyu couldn't help it.When I saw him, I couldn't help the turbulent coldness that appeared to be calm, especially when he was vulnerable and sad.Of course, I am also prepared to be pushed away by conflicts.

But Lin Xuyue just rubbed her face with her hands, as if trying to wake herself up, and then looked back at her.

His eyes were a little broken, and he was slightly stunned, but there was no surprise, as if he couldn't tell reality or a dream.

It was a look that Jiang Ningyu rarely saw.

"Lin Xuyue?" She stretched out her hand involuntarily, shaking it in front of his eyes.

But was gently pulled.Then, in her slightly startled eyes, he held her hand with one hand and pressed her temple with the other, showing a troubled expression, "I'm tired, can you go away?"

Jiang Ningyu spoke in a soft voice with good reason, "You pull me, I can't walk away."

"Nonsense, you can break free even if you are pulled." Lin Xuyue still did not let go, and closed her eyes again with her hands on her temples, as if she did not want to talk to her.

Jiang Ningyu felt that he was a little delirious, so she pulled over the chair next to him and sat down beside him.The hand held by him tightened silently, and held him back silently.

At that moment, she seemed to see Lin Xuyue's eyelashes trembling.Immediately afterwards, he tilted his head and really fell asleep on the table.

When Lu Li came in, the first thing he saw was the two holding hands.Lin Xuyue's body was lying on her left side, but her right hand was holding the other side tightly, giving her a split and funny look.

And Jiang Ningyu leaned against the back of the chair in a daze in silence, and looked over when she heard the movement, and saw that it was him.An unnatural look appeared on his face.She tried to move her hand, but she didn't twitch, so she gave up.

Lu Li didn't have a special expression on his face, and said to her in a low voice, "Xuyue's father asked me to invite you to dinner."

"……what?"

Jiang Ningyu showed a messy expression.

Could it be that the middle-aged man is Lin Xuyue's father?
She subconsciously recalled her previous performance, it should be considered decent, right?

"Then what should he do?" Jiang Ningyu looked at the people next to him.

Lu Li expressed with actions what to do.He walked over and slapped him awake, "Hey, get up and eat."

Jiang Ningyu was startled by him and was speechless for a moment.

Lin Xuyue was in a light sleep at first, when she heard his voice, she subconsciously said, "I'm not hungry..." Then she suddenly felt something, and flung her hand away.

He turned his head abruptly, eyes full of astonishment and shock.But Jiang Ningyu gently held her hand that had been thrown away, and stood up to get out of the way.

"You haven't eaten much for two days, and you're still not hungry. Hurry up, your aunt will come over for you later."

Lu Li's voice interrupted the delicate atmosphere.

Just as Jiang Ningyu was about to speak, she was interrupted by Lin Xuyue's sudden voice, "Alright then, let's go."

Lu Li was not surprised, he winked at her, as if to say: Look, he will eat when you come.

"Or, I won't eat." On the way to the dining hall, Jiang Ningyu whispered to Lu Li, "I came too abruptly, in case Lin Xuyue is unhappy..."

"I heard that you returned silk gold when you came here? They don't grant it, but they don't have the nerve to refuse you, so you have to eat this meal." Lu Li said.

She was at a loss for words.

Sitting in the dining room were the four elders whom they had met in the afternoon, some meals were placed on the round table, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.It wasn't until Lin Xuyue stepped in that she became more flexible.

"Come on." A beautiful woman with a gentle temperament spoke first, noticed the woman behind him, and said friendlyly, "Come, girl, sit by my side."

Jiang Ningyu didn't care about Lin Xuyue's expression, and she passed by the elder when the elder spoke, "Okay, I'll sit here." Lu Li consciously sat on another vacant seat, and he and Jiang Ningyu The middle position was given to Lin Xuyue.

Lin Xuyue didn't have any special reaction, until a bowl of porridge was pushed in front of him, he took a sip, but suddenly turned around in a big reaction, bowed his head and retched.

Jiang Ningyu was taken aback, and hurried over to pat him on the back, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I haven't eaten well for two days, normal physiological nausea." The slow explanation came from the beautiful woman just now, "You don't need to worry about him, he will be fine in a while."

Except for Lu Li, the other three elders all looked peaceful.Only then did Jiang Ningyu realize that she had overreacted. Seeing that he had turned around properly, she coughed lightly, "Oh, I've never encountered such a situation..."
