When the small meets the small, the human meets the demon

Chapter 37 Mid-Autumn Festival

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, although there is one more person than in previous years, no, it is a ghost, but it seems to be simpler.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, Li Xia, Yingge and Liu would bring various mooncakes to Su Miao, drink tea in the courtyard to enjoy the moon, occasionally Li Xia would sing poems to the moon, and Yingge would sing an old song softly. Or enjoy Liu's sword dance together. Occasionally, Su Miao will also play a guzheng, and the tall and straight Liu will dance with him.

The sound of the piano is clanging, the swords are colorful; the shadows of the moon are heavy, and the clouds are floating: it is not a beautiful scene.

Afterwards, Li Xia and Ying Ge went on a date without mentioning it, and Liu would accompany Su Miao to stroll around the city. On this night of family reunion, they walked quietly in the street market isolated from the hustle and bustle, watching the lights at the lantern festival become deserted.

At that time, Su Miao often held Liu's hand tightly, looking at the overlapping shadows of the two, feeling a little bit sweet in her heart.

She thought that she didn't care how indifferent her father was to her, the fact that her stepmother occasionally ignored her occasional care, and the gossip of others or servants.What she cares about is whether the people who are by her side at this moment will always be by her side, so that she still has people who can truly be regarded as relatives.

Occasionally, she would be anxious, afraid that all this was just a dream; once she woke up, everything would disappear, and she was still the lonely orphan who lost her mother.This kind of panic will disappear only when she touches the not thick but firm palm beside her, and she will settle down in her heart.

When Su Miao was sleepy, Liu would send her back to the Su residence.After falling asleep with Su Miao, Liu will quietly look at Su Miao's sweet sleeping face beside her, and slowly fall into a trance.

In fact, in the early days, Liu would wait for Su Miao to go back after she was asleep; this kind of welfare was only enjoyed by Liu after she lived in Su Miao's courtyard - Liu only enjoyed it once.

Anyway, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu does not have that benefit!

The sky is bright and the moon is bright.

A few cold stars hang in the sky, occasionally shining bright like diamonds; the bright moon hangs high, and the soft brilliance sprinkles the earth, falling like frost on the ground, adding a bit of coldness.The flowers and trees in the courtyard are scattered, the shadows of the branches are slanting, and the mottled ground is really beautiful; the faint osmanthus fragrance floats across the courtyard wall, and the fragrance is diffuse, with uneven shades, and there is some interest in the willows and flowers.

On the stone table in the courtyard are four discs of exquisite and small moon cakes, and another set of purple sand tea set, five purple-red teacups filled with clear and elegant tea, sitting in front of the teacups in turn are Yingge, Lixia, Liu, Su Miao and Wei Zhufeng.

The atmosphere was cold and clear, very strange.

Su Miao looked at Liu who had a bad face on the left, and Wei Zhufeng who was drinking tea indifferently on the right. For the first time, she felt that her proposal seemed too hasty.

"Hehe," Li Xia held the teacup in his hand, trying to liven up the atmosphere, "This is the first time that Brother Wei spends the Mid-Autumn Festival with us, haha, it's a great honor! Today I will replace wine with tea, let's first wish Brother Wei a happy life every year! "After finishing speaking, he drank it in one gulp.

Wei Zhufeng returned the gift.

Yingge glanced at Li Xia, and said angrily, "You're such an idiot, you're wasting the Dahongpao I managed to collect!"

"Haha, my lady, please forgive me!" Li Xia pretended to be afraid of her guilt, and repeatedly confessed her crimes. Her appearance was funny, which made Su Miao smile kindly.

The atmosphere was indeed more active than before.

"Every festive season, I miss my relatives a lot, and I also wish Brother Wei to find his relatives as soon as possible!" Liu stared at Wei Zhufeng meaningfully, emphasizing "my own" deliberately.

"Thank you Miss Liu!" Wei Zhufeng's eyes darkened, and his voice dropped accordingly.He drooped his eyes to hide the depth in them, and when he looked at Liu again, he was completely calm.

Su Miao stared at Liu reproachfully when she heard the words.

Liu secretly hated, this Wei Zhufeng reminded himself that he was not a man on the one hand, and on the other hand he was deliberately showing weakness to provoke Su Miao's sympathy, it really is very calculating!

She wanted to say something, but seeing Yingge winking at her, she had to suppress the sarcastic words she was going to say.

Su Miao smiled and pointed to the mooncakes on the plate, "Xiao Xiao, did you buy these mooncakes from Grandma Yu's pastry shop in the north of the city?"

That shop is the pastry shop they often go to. When Su Miao grows up, she will occasionally order her maids to buy there.Most of the time, it was Liu who accompanied her.

When Liu heard about it, he was easily patted down, and smiled softly at Su Miao, "Yes! I got it from her shop, but you didn't go, so I hung the counted money in her courtyard On the sweet-scented osmanthus tree branch in the middle, I guess they saw it when they went out."

"Well, her dim sum is soft, glutinous and delicious, extraordinarily sweet, and the best!" Su Miao smiled innocently, and Liu was stunned when she saw it.

"It seems to have sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing!"

"Your origin is unknown, how can you convince us?" Liu, who had drunk a glass of wine, seemed to be drunk, and his words were a little thoughtless.

"Little!" Su Miao glared at Liu angrily.She didn't believe that Xiaoxiao she liked was such a narrow-minded person.

"Oh, I really don't understand the origin, not even myself!" Wei Zhufeng smiled bleakly, holding the wine glass weakly, and drank it down in one gulp.

Liu's eyes flickered before he seemed to come back to his senses.She didn't know why, but just now she suddenly felt a fire burning in her heart, which made her involuntarily say those insincere words.

She wanted to explain, "Miao'er, I didn't mean that..."

"Then what do you mean?" Su Miao asked unceremoniously, her beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned, and a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes looking at Liu, as if she still blamed her.

"I...I just..." Liu Zhi hesitated and couldn't speak, a blush of embarrassment appeared on his face.Can she say that she is always jealous of Wei Zhufeng because she is jealous of Su Miao's protection of Wei Zhufeng?

"Hmph! You're deliberately embarrassing Brother Wei!" Su Miao didn't appreciate it. She held on to this point and deliberately held the teacup, stood up and said to Wei Zhufeng, "Brother Wei, Xiaoxiao is a little naive, please Don't worry about it. I'll drink tea instead of wine, toast Brother Wei, and please forgive me!" After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Wei Zhufeng stared at Su Miao for a moment, until she looked away in embarrassment, then he picked up the wine glass and drank it down. He smiled at Su Miao, but slowly rubbed his slender fingers On the edge of the wine glass, he gave Liu a meaningful look.

But Liu didn't see Wei Zhufeng's glance, just now the tacit understanding between Su Miao and Wei Zhufeng completely fell into her eyes, making her heart blaze with jealousy.

In her eyes, Wei Zhufeng looked at Su Miao affectionately, and Su Miao's shy girlish appearance seemed to respond to this gaze.At this time, the idea of ​​"love at first sight is deeper than love at first sight" is no longer in her mind. She doesn't know why, the fire in her heart suddenly burns out her head, and she has no calmness at all.

"Bang!" Liu slapped the table, and there was a shallow palm imprint on the stone table at that time, the fine dust drifted with the wind, and a little fell on the plate of mooncakes filled with roses.

At that moment, Su Miao trembled in shock, and looked at Liu in great surprise, seeing Liu's angry eyes seeping a cold light, looking at him coldly, a little bit of anger appeared on his flushed face immediately.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Li Xia hastily and desperately winked at Liu, Liu seemed to ignore it in a fit of rage, Li Xia, who was conscientious in vain, blinked her peach blossom eyes cramp, and almost stepped forward to pull Liu's sleeves.But Yingge looked at Liu in surprise, and inadvertently glanced at Wei Zhufeng's body, and his complexion revealed a hint of solemnity.

Wei Zhufeng lowered his eyes, as if he was avoiding this dispute that had nothing to do with him, his black hair drooped from his ears, and a strand of his hair was blown to the corner of his mouth by the wind, covering up a smile.

"Xiao Xiao! What do you mean?" Su Miao was stared at by Liu, and she couldn't help feeling faint, and asked a little angrily.She felt that the smallness of this moment was really scary and strange!

"You," Liu stared at Su Miao for a long time, then pointed at Wei Zhufeng, and said almost wordlessly, "Why do you treat him so well?" She frowned tightly, her pair of beautiful eyes gleaming coldly, But it has an extremely forbearing expression.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

After all, no one would have thought that Liu, who was looking for vengeance before, uttered such a harmless question, which clearly meant bitterness and jealousy, like a "resentful woman in a deep boudoir".

Not only Su Miao stomped her feet and blushed and turned away, but Li Xia and Yingge secretly covered their mouths and snickered, even Wei Zhufeng was surprised, but smiled for a moment, as if nothing happened Guan Ji, only Yingge carefully noticed the change in his expression just now.

Liu didn't smile at all, and stared at Su Miao seriously, as if she must seek an answer.

As a last resort, Su Miao peeked at Wei Zhufeng with a face that was as red as a peach blossom, and then replied in a low voice, "Is there such a thing?! Brother Wei and I... I just, I just think that Brother Wei feels very good to me. Kind, just like my big brother!"

Wei Zhufeng frowned slightly, but he didn't show any other expression at all, just still smiling slightly.

But Liu saw Su Miao peeking at Wei Zhufeng with sharp eyes, like a thorn in her heart, choked her heart very uncomfortable, and the corners of her eyes were sore.She clenched her fist tightly with her left hand hidden in her sleeve, and the fist was bluish white, as if there were still traces of murderous aura condensing around the fist, but she never made a move.She endured and endured, biting her lip, looking at Su Miao, her eyes couldn't tell whether it was anger or sadness.

Su Miao pursed her mouth and avoided her eyes in anger.

Finally, Liu couldn't help shaking his left shoulder, still didn't move, but took a deep look at Wei Zhufeng, without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Su Miao stared at Liu passing by in a daze, the coldness that came to her face was a coldness that she had never felt before, as if it could freeze people in an instant, and in an instant she was in a world of ice and snow, and was still caught I poured cold water to cool my heart!

"Little..." She murmured, watching the fluttering skirt brush past her corner, as if something was broken in her heart, and it seemed that something very important was being irretrievably lost.

Liu didn't look back.The slender figure like flowing clouds and flowing water disappeared in the bright moon.

Su Miao stared blankly at the familiar figure in the shadow of the moon.For the first time, she realized that the small figure was so thin, and suddenly looked haggard and fragile.

"Hey!" Li Xia and Yingge sighed together, and bid farewell to Su Miao, "Miao'er, let's go and see her first, so we're leaving."

Su Miao unconsciously said "um", and couldn't remember to return the salute at all.

"Brother Wei bid farewell!" Li Xia and Yingge didn't care, they just bid farewell to Wei Zhufeng.

Wei Zhufeng returned the salute, and after watching the two leave each other, he lowered his head and sipped the wine in his glass.The moonlight fell on the clear surface of the wine, reflecting a little bit of cold light.

Su Miao stood there for a long time, staring at the empty sky with her watery eyes.

After a long time, she turned around, sat down depressed, and poured herself a glass of wine.

After drinking a glass of wine, she looked at Wei Zhufeng drunkenly, and then said to him with apologetic expression, "Wei...Brother Wei...I'm so...I'm so sorry...for making you...read a joke..."

"It's okay." Wei Zhufeng smiled gently, raised his hand to cover the glass of wine that Su Miao just poured, and said in a low voice, "Don't drink it."

"Let...let me drink...Brother Wei!" Su Miao's cheeks were flushed, and she stared at Wei Zhufeng with her dark eyes, which were extraordinarily moist with tears in them.Su Miao pushed his hand away, poured herself a glass, and murmured, "I feel...so uncomfortable...I...really didn't...didn't do it on purpose...I just, just wanted her...to make her like before... Coax me..."

Wei Zhufeng watched quietly without saying a word.

"Hey..." Suddenly, Su Miao grinned stupidly, and looked at Wei Zhufeng with her eyebrows bent, "Who are you? You look so familiar, I've seen you before, right? Who are you, where are you from, Where are you going?"

Before Wei Zhufeng could answer, Su Miao stood up staggeringly, picked up the delicate jug with one hand, raised her neck and poured it vigorously, but spilled most of it; He was carrying a wine jug, swaying in circles in the courtyard, staggering, shaking the wine jug, and muttering, "I... I also dance swords... I'll show you... okay..."

Wei Zhufeng saw the sadness in her heart and didn't stop her, but looked at Su Miao worriedly, afraid that she would smash the flagon on her head.

"You... why don't you say... okay?" Su Miao suddenly stopped, seeing Wei Zhufeng not moving, and asked drunkenly.

Wei Zhufeng didn't answer, so she walked towards him with unsteady steps, almost threw herself into Wei Zhufeng's arms, but leaned in front of the stone table, ignorantly touched the plate on the table, She exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Mooncakes filled with roses! I...just...know you are the best!" As he spoke, he took a mooncake filled with roses and put it in his mouth.

Wei Zhufeng sat at the side, watching the mooncakes covered with fine dust, he stretched out his hand to hold Su Miao's slender wrist, and with some force, Su Miao dropped the mooncake in his hand on the ground and fell on his shoulder.

"You're drunk." His tone was flat, as if he was just stating the fact without any emotion.

"Xiao Xiao, don't go!" Su Miao suddenly yelled, and beads of tears fell from her misty eyes.

Wei Zhufeng felt the warmth on his shoulders, and closed his eyes to hide all his emotions.

"Xiao Xiao, don't go..." Su Miao muttered again.

Wei Zhufeng seemed relieved, and helped Su Miao into the house.

And under the courtyard wall, a figure looked cold.
