Chapter 15 Ning Zheng

At night, thousands of homes in Shangji City are brightly lit.

The tall eaves of Liang's house are curved, and a thin shadow stands in the shadow that can't be illuminated by the moonlight. The shadow is separated from the moonlight, and he stands on the dividing line, looking lonely, as if he doesn't know whether he should step out. The bright coral red eyes are gloomy and clear, looking around the high Liang family's house wall. , the feeling of the caged bird is even worse.

It's okay during the day. At night, the stars feel that this big empty house is deep and quiet, but there is a faint sound of breathing - like countless invisible ghosts wandering around. He hugged himself with his slender arms and finally took that step and put himself in the cold moonlight.

It seemed to be covered with a layer of mercury. He gently stepped on the slate in the courtyard, as if he was afraid of a little force, so he stepped on the moonlight of the courtyard.

He held his arms and walked around the courtyard. His footsteps were light, like a cat on tiptoe, and the shadow cast on the wall was like a fast leopard. Some people say that people who walk silently like cats are not open and aboveboard, but they are also silent when hunting, but they are fierce. What the stars advocate most is the noble and elegant golden leopard - it is estimated that people who are not open and aboveboard have never seen leopards walk.

I walked around the courtyard and returned to the starting point. Still like a bird in a cage, he can only fly in this small Shangji city? He looked at his sister's room, and the light had been dimmed. Xiaowu and Liuzi also slept. The housekeeper who seemed to be old at any time was not there. Then he looked at his room. The open door was like a huge mouth to swallow him, and then looked at the middle courtyard that had been replaced by Begonia, which was boring! Liang's house is so big, but he doesn't know where to go.

Looking over the wall and looking at the bright lights in the distance, even the golden light even reflected in the night sky like the day. He went to an old tree planted near the wall, looked left and right, and then climbed up the tree quickly. He was thin and agile. He changed into a slim robe without the burden of wide sleeves, and it became more and more comfortable to climb the tree. Walking along a tree branch towards the wall, he quietly walked along the wall, opening his arms, the cool wind brushed the tip of his nose, and his long hair was blown away. He took a deep breath - a sudden feeling that he had never had before. When he opened his arms, he felt as if he were flying, and the boundless Shangji City was breathing under him.

He walked to the highest middle hall of Liang's mansion, climbed up the high and curved eaves, and walked all the way to the highest vault. There are decorative beasts on both sides, and Xingchen sits in the middle, bending down and burying his face in his knees, as if to fall asleep in the breeze. From a distance, his figure is also like a stone sculpture.

He doesn't know why he has the most superior life, why he always feels depressed and feels that his chest is blocked by something, inexplicably depressed! When there are many people, he can laugh jokingly, and when the night is quiet, he is upset and can't sleep. It's like being bright in front of people, but embarrassed and afraid to look at people behind them. Therefore, when he is depressed and can't sleep at night, he always stays alone and doesn't disturb others. Even Xiaowu and Liuzi don't say anything for fear of being said to be pretentious.

And the girl I saw on the shore of Jiaxiu Lake, the mackerel dance fairy dress, the white and transparent skin, and the smiling eyes... I don't know why. There are many beautiful women Xingchen has seen, but he can't forget this girl. He deliberately left his place and hoped that she can come to find herself. Self! Will she come?

Some people are destined to be engraved in their hearts at a glance, as if the vines are growing crazily.

Ning Zheng? Xingchen laughed and remembered that when she first saw her, she was squatting under a big tree by the lakeside of Jiaxiu. Her wide skirt spread out like lotus leaves, and there were fireflies flying around her, like stars around her. But that posture is clearly the same as his most lonely action - squatting on the ground, holding his knees, burying his face in his arms, trying to shrink his body, like a poor worm who was suddenly exposed to the sun when lifting the stone.

He raised his head and sat high to look at Shangji City at night. The lights were as bright as a galaxy, and where is Ning Zheng?

"Stars...Stars..." A soft voice sounded from behind.

Xingchen's body shook and almost fell down. Looking back, a pair of clear eyes were looking at themselves with a smile, with a playful smile at the corners of their mouth.

He stood up and shouted, "Ning Zheng... why are you here!"

"I live in an inn. If I'm too bored, I'll run out to find you..." The girl seems to be born more mature than a boy. After seeing her once, she became familiar with her friends. She changed into a light pink dress, wore a light blue pointed hood, and a bunch of hair playfully came out of the hood. She no longer wore the luxurious and elegant mackerel dance fairy skirt, and this dress was a little sasque and heroic.

"Move over there and make a land for me!" The girl's eyes widened, and her clear eyes were like bright gems, which were particularly beautiful in the moonlight.

Xingchen gave a muffled hum and moved the floor to Ning Zheng. The girl sat down generously and straightened her legs and stretched out. "I'm exhausted all the way, especially when I climbed your wall, and I almost fell down!" Why do you think your wall is so high? What if you fall down?"

Xingchen raised a sword-sharp eyebrows, looked at the beautiful and gentle woman, and said in surprise, "Climbing the wall?" He looked up and down at this young lady from a noble background, as if to have subverted his world outlook for nearly two decades.

Ning Zheng said carelessly, "Yes, I wanted to come to your door, but when I saw you climb on the roof, I followed you... Don't think of me as a thief or something, I'm just looking for you!" The girl seemed to see through the thoughts of the stars at a glance.

The stars laughed dumbly.

Ning Zheng originally wanted to say that even if she climbed over the wall and entered your yard, anyway, the whole Fanyang was her house, so she would go to her own yard! However, she did not forget that she slipped out. It is estimated that her brother and father are looking for her all over the world now. In order to hide herself, she didn't even tell Xingchen her surname 'Huangfu'.

Moreover, she can feel the boundless loneliness of the boy in front of her, and such witty words can't make her happy much.

"Shangji City is not safe. It's too dangerous for you to run out alone at night. Go back quickly!"

The girl smiled, pulled down the light blue pointed hood above her head, covered her eyes, and laughed, "After playing for a few days, I always felt strangely stared at, so I bought this hat and covered my face all the way. It's okay!" She lifted her hood again, her long hair exposed, and was tied into a refreshing ponytail. The girl shook her head, the ponytail shook, and her slightly messy hair became soft and neat.

Ning is following Xingchen's eyes, falling on his hair, staring and asking, "Is it beautiful?"

Xingchen nodded seriously, "It's beautiful!"

The girl stood up, stepped back a few steps, stood on the roof line, turned around with her arms open, and bent back. Her body was as soft as the most charming snake. The ponytail was shining in the moonlight, as if it were sparkling. The girl's face was smiling, and her fair skin seemed to see her faint blood vessels in the moonlight.

Xingchen quickly stood up for fear that she would accidentally fall down. This is the highest roof of the Liang family. If she falls down, she will definitely fall to death.

But the girl was as light as a swallow, and slowly stopped in a circle. The long ribbon with a ponytail was blown up by the breeze. In the moonlight, her whole body became dreamy. Her toes were pointed, her arms were open, and the bunch of ponytails also stopped and hung on one side of her shoulders. Her pink face was slightly red, her clear eyes looked at the stars, and her peony red lips were smiling.

Xingchen looked at it silently, with narrow and long phoenix eyes, and her pale face smiled a little far-fetchedly.

"Why are you so lifeless and unhappy? Fortunately, I danced to show you!" Ning Zheng said angrily, "Is it your parents who scolded you? Or did you lose something?"

She jumped over, stepped on the blue-gray tile, and quietly sat next to the stars again.

"My parents are not here, there is only me and my sister at home, and I haven't lost anything!"

"Then why aren't you happy?" The girl asked in a hurry, and her crisp voice was particularly pleasant in the wind.

"I don't know, but I just feel that my chest is stuffy and I can't sleep, so I come out for a break."

"Oh, you are basking in the moon!"

"Showing the moon?" Xingchen looked sideways at the girl, and her face was the smiling blue eyes.

"Blow the sun during the day, and of course bask in the moon at night!" The girl said seriously.

Xing Chen couldn't help laughing, "It makes sense!"

"Hey, right!" Ning Zheng seemed to be amused by herself. She said softly, "Xingchen, I think you still look good with a smile, smile more, and look so imhuman with a straight face."

"Do you have it?"

"Yes!" The girl nod her head heavily.

Star coral red eyes look at each other with Ning Zheng's clear eyes. The girl's eyes are big and clear, like a pool of clear soft water.

He finally lost the battle, looked away and said, "Sometimes I can't laugh!"

"Then why don't you be unhappy? Didn't you smile well when I saw you that day?"

"When there are many people, you don't have to think too much. Of course, you can laugh loudly. When I'm alone, I can't laugh... I always feel that there is no consistency between the front and the back!" Xingchen stepped on an irregular green tile with his feet and made a small sound.

"I always feel that I have everything, but I have nothing. I'm like a bird in a cage. All I can see is this cage, and I can't see what's outside!" He lowered his head and said dejectedly.

"Bird in a cage?" Ning Zheng muttered to herself - she knew what it felt like. Don't she feel the same way in the deep palace? This time, I escaped, saw and heard all the way, and I was open-minded. These days of leaving the palace are happier than any day in the past decade.

Looking at the lonely look of the boy in front of me, I feel empathy. The bird in the cage, no matter how luxurious the cage is, is still a shackle, unless you open the cage and let it fly...

She turned to laugh, put her hand around Xingchen's slender neck and said, "Don't think so much now. I finally came to play with you. Don't be stiff-faced. Come on, if you are unhappy, think about beautiful things, such as beautiful me!"

Xingchen was hooked to turn her face and saw that the smile on the delicate face was like hot honey, as if the wind and snow would melt in the smiling face.

Spring flowers bloom in an instant.

"Let's go and take you to a fun place." Ning was standing up and looking down at this lonely guy, like a god looking down.

Xingchen looked at her in a stunned way and hesitated to go with her.

"You piece of wood!" Ning Zheng said in a tone of anger. He bent down and grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "I won't sell you. What's there to hesitate about!"

She couldn't help pulling him, ran along the roof to the wall, then jumped to the quiet Fengluan Street and ran towards the brightly lit place.
