Walking forward from the courtyard gate and walking to the porch of the high pavilion, this section is not far away, but I walked for a long time.

The two maids said a lot to me, but in the end, I realized that I didn't remember a word because everything became chaotic. The drizzle turned into a pouring rain, dripping on the roof tiles above my head. After a while, crystal raindrops rolled down from the roof like broken beads. The rain from far and near poured down, woven into an endless rain curtain in front of me.

It makes people feel suffocating.

Amid the fishy smell of the rain, a scent of wine floats from afar.

I raised my head and looked at Gaoting in the rain. For some reason, I had an illusion that it seemed that it was the last pure land in the world, and the surroundings were already flooded.

I lifted up the hem of the splashed skirt and walked up slowly.

A familiar figure came into view.

He was thin, quiet, and had no rest at all, like a statue. Even if the cold raindrops were blown by the wind, it was hard to tell whether it was the rain that was colder or he was colder.

I just felt my heart beat suddenly - because at this moment, I saw those charming eyes again.

Huang Tianba was sitting behind a stone table, looking at me calmly.

He was very thin, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, making his originally handsome facial features more profound, but no matter how thin and profound he was, it did not damage the perfection of those eyes at all. He was still a pair of charming eyes, with bright black and white, long eyelashes, shimmering water in his eyes, and colorful light, which was almost suffocating.

And I was really suffocated.

Facing those eyes made me feel desolate when I don’t know where I am. No matter what the world is, his eyes are still as firm and tough as in the past, as if he had traveled through these seven years and had no experience of anything. He was still the uncrowned king of Jiangnan, and I was still full of hope for everything.

I walked up to him step by step, feeling that every step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, which made me exhaust all my departure. When I spoke again, my voice became hoarse: "Master Huang..."

"You're here."

He said in a low voice, with a strong nasal sound in his voice, and I noticed that there was still a trace of abnormal flush on his face. Although his eyes were tough and fierce, they were also a little unsightly.

In my ears, the two maids said to me along the way—

"Master Huang has been sick all these years, and his health is getting better and worse, and he has no regularity."

"This year, it's a little heavier than last year."

He seemed to feel the tears in my eyes, but instead smiled, pointed at the things on the table and said, "I guess you probably haven't eaten yet, so I have someone prepared some. You can eat something first."

“…”

"I have a lot to say to you."

I also have a lot to say to you.

I looked at him and almost burst into tears, but I could only grit my teeth and persevere, gently sitting opposite him. Then I saw some home-cooked wine and dishes on the table, including daughter red, braised bamboo shoots, braised fish, spicy chicken, stir-fried vegetable hearts, and a bowl of steaming rice. Although it was home-cooked, the simple taste made people feel even more excited.

I really didn't eat, and I was really hungry before, but when I saw him, not to mention that I didn't eat a meal, even if I was about to starve to death, I didn't want to spend time eating.

But, after he looked at him with gentle eyes, I still picked up the bowl and picked up the food and ate it in small bites.

After taking a few bites, he looked up at him again. He just looked at me and took a sip of wine.

"Master Huang, don't you eat it?"

“I’ve eaten.”

...

In my mind, the words of the two maids rang out again—

"Master Huang usually has little appetite to eat, and sometimes he must force the prince to force him - as long as he doesn't eat, doesn't sleep well, and doesn't add clothes when it's cold, the prince will punish us serving people. For us, he will barely eat some..."

I swallowed a bite of the rice, took an empty bowl from the side, pulled some rice in, and then held it in front of him: "Master Huang, please have something with me."

He glanced at me, lowered his eyelids lightly, and after a while, he put down his wine glass and picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

The chopsticks stretched out and reached towards the plate of braised fish, as if they were going to pick up the fish's eyes, but just after they reached over, the chopsticks stopped again.

I looked at the ripples that were rising out of thin air in my eyes. Although they were silent, they seemed to be hitting his heart.

After a moment of silence, he turned to pick up the cabbage next to him.

I held the dishes and chopsticks and ate the delicious dishes in my mouth turned into sour.

At this time, Huang Tianba raised his head and looked at me. Facing me, tears broke through my tears when I touched it. Instead, he was very calm, as calm as stagnant water. But when he was talking, a smile appeared on his face: "That little girl, is your daughter?"

"Yes."

"The one in the first place?"

"Well. Her name is Li'er." I said, "Let her come to see you later."

"In a blink of an eye, she has grown so big." He smiled and reached out to gesture: "I still remember that she was so big when I hugged her."

"After all, it's been seven years."

"yes."

“…”

"Seven years."

How have you been in these seven years?

This sentence has been circling countless times in my mind and circling countless times on the tip of my tongue, but when I really saw him, I couldn't ask.

Instead, he said, "You seem to have experienced a lot of things over the past seven years."

"...Hmm." I nodded.

"What's going on with you and that Pei Yuanxiu?"

I trembled and put down the dishes, remained silent for a while, and said, "I'm married to him."

"You married him?" He frowned slightly and looked at me.

I once thought that one day, one day, I would tell one person everything I have experienced, the grievances, pains, all unwillingness and humiliation.

Whether it is ejaculation or crying, I can cry and scold this person without reservation in front of him, curse the people who have hurt me with the most vicious words, and describe my anger with the most cruel expression. Sometimes when I do this in my dream, I will wake up with my teeth gritted my teeth. When I open my eyes, my breathing and heartbeat are ferocious.

But now, I really talk about it, using the calmest expression and the most plain tone.

He sat opposite me and listened to me calmly. He seemed to have no emotional fluctuations. He just took the wine glass instead of holding the bowls and chopsticks.

After saying the last sentence, I looked up at him. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if there was a vast ocean around me, only him and I stayed here. I watched his lips, which were paler because of the cold temperature, were moistened by the wine, but could not hide the dryness.

I don't know how long I was silent, but I finally spoke and asked that sentence-

"And you?"

“…”

"How have you been doing in the past seven years?"

He looked up at me and smiled suddenly.

His smile in my memory is the most touching thing, as if a gust of March breeze suddenly blows in the severe winter, making people unable to believe that there is such a beautiful thing in this world.

And I also remembered what the two maids told me just now—

"Madam, have you ever seen someone, and you haven't laughed for seven years?"

But now, when talking about these seven years, he laughed.

He picked up the wine pot and poured wine into the cup, pouring it, and said, "You know that in the past seven years, countless people have come to persuade me. Do you know what they said?"

...

"The prince has sent you all the best and best in the world. What else do you want?"

"As the Prince of Iron-Shipster in Shengjing, all his concubines were driven away. There was not a single woman around him, only you. Do you know how difficult it is?"

"You are living the best life in this world, why are you not moved at all?"

"Do you have to go back to your past lives? Is it okay to fight and kill, be in the shadow of swords and swords every day, or be plotted against by others?"

"Don't your heart behave like a flesh? You don't feel anything about the prince being so nice to you?"

...

From the words that the two maids said to me along the way, from Huang Tianba's sarcastic eyes, I could already know that Luo Shi's lobbyist was constantly persuading him in his ears, making great efforts, and even forcing and tempting.

But he left only deep wrinkles that could hardly be erased between his eyebrows.

He said, "He built a garden for me in Shengjing. The mountains, rocks, springs, birds and beasts were all transported from the south of the Yangtze River. They were thousands of miles away. I don't know how much money I spent or how many horses were exhausted. When I came to Wuwei, in order to make me feel more comfortable, he built this house and drew the water from the valley river. The people who served me were carefully selected, and even the chefs who cooked for me were found from Yangzhou."

“…”

"The grassland is much colder than Jiangnan. When winter comes, my hands and feet are cold. And he will take medicinal wine to wipe my hands and feet every night, and he will stop until I get warm. During the coldest days in winter, he will hold my feet and fall asleep."

“…”

"I had a serious illness two years ago. He found a lot of precious medicinal materials. In order to use leopard fetus as medicine, he killed a leopard with bare hands. A piece of meat was torn off from his back, and the blood was not stopped. So he brought the medicine back and asked me to have it boil for me to eat."

“…”

He said a lot in one breath, and then I suddenly remembered that the two maids told me that he had rarely even spoken over the years, so in the end, his voice almost became hoarse, and he looked at me with a slight breath: "Do you think," he asked: "How am I doing?"

Before, when I was telling the story of these years, tears that had not shedded nowhere, burst out in my eyes at this moment.

However, tears fell on the table, and the subtle sound was soon overwhelmed by the heavy rain around.
