Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 12
When Bai Mengyue went out yesterday, she seemed in a hurry as if she was going somewhere.

I bumped into her on the way home and asked her a few questions, but she had no intention of telling me.

I frowned and said to my dad: "Dad, don't worry, why don't you call and ask, has she gone to a classmate's house?"

As soon as my dad was about to open his mouth to speak, the stepmother interrupted him out of control: "What kind of classmate's house are you going to! You also know that Mengyue never stays out at night and hasn't come back all night. I'm really afraid that she is What happened again..."

The stepmother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she covered her face and began to cry before she finished speaking.

I was made worried by her words, after all, Mengyue is a girl, and it is true that she will not stay out at night for no reason.

What's more, she also took snake beads and provoked those snakes on the mountain...

When everyone was at a loss, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from the other side of the courtyard door. We turned our heads and saw Bai Mengyue standing outside our house unexpectedly.

She didn't come back alone, she was accompanied by Li Heng and his family.

"Mom, I'm back." Mengyue had a smile on her face, with a little shyness of a girl.

"Oh girl! Where have you been? Do you know that mother is dying of anxiety!" The stepmother cried and ran to hug her, as if holding a lost treasure.

This time, Baimeng Yueguang smiled with her head down, and said nothing awkwardly.

Seeing this, Li Heng took a step forward, touched the back of his head, and looked embarrassed: "Uncle and aunt, yesterday...I suddenly felt unwell yesterday, thanks to Mengyue who took good care of me all night, I was able to recover so well Hurry up. Our family sent Mengyue back today, just... just to propose marriage to you. "

As soon as these words came out, my father and stepmother were obviously stunned.

I blinked my eyes in a daze, thinking that it was unbelievable that this matter had turned so fast.

So what exactly does Li Heng want to do?
When that happened earlier, he refused to let him marry Mengyue, and even followed me in broad daylight yesterday, plotting against me.

As a result, after only one night, it seemed like a different person today, and suddenly agreed to marry Mengyue for the first time?
Suspiciously, I turned to look at Mengyue, only to see that she was holding Li Heng's arm shyly, and there were still some ambiguous traces on the white and tender neck exposed by the neckline.

When I saw Li Heng yesterday, I suddenly thought of his blushing appearance, and I connected it with Mengyue's appearance after she hurried out and didn't return all night. Xin, accidentally spied on Qiba.

Originally, after that incident, my dad has been worrying about Mengyue's reputation, now that Mengyue's marriage is finally settled, he is smiling from ear to ear, he seems really happy.

At dinner, my dad cooked a large table of delicious dishes to celebrate Mengyue's engagement, and the man's family also stayed to eat together.

People in our village get married very early, and engagements as big as Mengyue can be found everywhere.

During the dinner, they were all chatting about the details of their marriage, saying that they had made plans for the future in advance, and laughed from time to time when they were happy talking, and the atmosphere could be considered festive and harmonious.

But these have nothing to do with me.

It's not me who's getting married, it's not me who has a normal future.So it's not me who should be happy.

It's not envy or jealousy. After all, the identity of "snake girl" has been with me for 18 years. I almost never thought about what my future will be like.

Just a little confused.

I sat at the corner of the table farthest from them and silently grilled rice. Someone suddenly brought up the matter of Old Wangtou's house next door, and the topic on the table was inexplicably brought up to me.

While serving Mengyue some food, the stepmother said with a half-smile, "Seeing that our Mengyue is engaged, Tingyue, please take care of yourself. Don't go to places where there are dead people all day long. It's just a trick." Not to mention bad luck, it will affect your reputation at that time, and it will not be easy to find a husband's family for you."

The man's mother probably chatted away, and didn't treat herself as an outsider. She chanted with her stepmother: "Yes, Tingyue, you are such a beautiful girl, don't worry about those bad things anymore, just listen to your mother." Advise, ah."

I have long been immune to the behavior of my stepmother, and when they finished speaking, I just raised my head and smiled, not giving them a positive response.

My dad was still the same, drinking with his head down and not talking.

Bai Mengyue gently put down the chopsticks, and looked at me with a smile: "Don't talk about my sister, she was born beautiful since she was a child, how could she be so short of love?"

These words sound strange at first glance, but there is obviously something in the words.

My hand shaking the vegetables, afraid that the stepmother and the others would have doubts, I hurried to the front and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, how can I be so lucky as Mengyue to marry such a popular boy as Li Heng?" .”

Li Heng smiled, eyes full of Bai Mengyue.

Hearing me mentioning Li Heng, probably because she remembered the reason why Li Heng didn't want to marry her back then, the corners of Mengyue's mouth froze, and suddenly she lowered her eyes, with tears in her eyes: "Sister, are you blaming me for robbing Li Heng? I know The person Li Heng liked at the beginning was you, sister, but...but I also really like Li Heng."

"Now Li Heng has figured it out and is willing to take responsibility for me, that's why he came here to propose marriage on purpose today. If you feel unhappy, I can introduce you to someone else, it's all because I'm apologizing for you..."

Mengyue has tried this trick since she was a child, and as long as she cries, it is my fault anyway.

What's more, she said this, as if I was jealous, I had nothing to do with Li Heng, but her grievance seemed to be the problem with me.

Just as I was about to explain, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a tall and slender figure walked in under the clear moonlight.

"It's unnecessary to introduce another one to her."

With a pair of graceful peach blossom eyes, and two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in his hands, the man walked towards this side with a pair of slender and straight legs.

The familiar cold fragrance of plants and trees melted into the heat in the sultry summer night, lingering with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, slowly drifting into the door.

I looked at the familiar eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly my whole body was shocked, and the chopsticks in my hand "slapped" and fell off the bottom of the table in a mess.

"Oh, what kind of young man is this? He looks so handsome?" Li Heng's mother completely forgot that she had a seventeen or eighteen-year-old son, her eyes looked up and down the visitor, and her crow's feet wrinkled from laughing. stand up.

"Ask me, how would I know..." The stepmother saw the man walk into the room, she didn't know where to put her hands, and she stood up with a blushing face, smiling very enthusiastically, "Oh handsome, you Who are you looking for?"

The man has jade-like eyebrows, wearing a neat and clean white shirt, and his short, fine hair is arranged casually yet delicately. He exudes a demeanor that is incompatible with the people in the country.

His gaze fell on my face from the beginning to the end, making me tremble and panic when I saw it.

It wasn't until I couldn't sit still that he hooked the corners of his mouth and said in a calm tone: "Tingyue, don't you plan to introduce me?"
