Starfall

Chapter 49 Disappointment

Liang's house.

"Hey Xingchen, can't you see it? Your family is quite elegant! Although it's still so bad compared with my family, it's also quite powerful!" The girl with a ponytail walked on tiptoe in the courtyard, walking lightly, like a cat with blue eyes. She opened her arms and walked forward in a circle. Today, she wore a long dress of mica green gauze. The skirt swaying, like a handful of green lotus on the water, which was fresh and touching.

The boy behind her smiled and didn't say anything, but his heart was very worried. For the first time, he took Ning into Liang's house. He didn't know what kind of grass was going to be chewed in the mouth of the two donkeys of Xiaowu and Liuzi. But I didn't see these two guys early this morning. Are they still sleeping in?

Xingchen was too lazy to care about them. The housekeepers and servants were all scattered by him. Sister Liang Yuexin would not come back in two days. He was the only one who was empty in the huge Liang family's mansion, so he dared to bring Ning Zheng to play. He is such a young man who even has a hard time blushing to say the word 'like'. He is not domineering at all. He can't do evil things that he took other girls home with vicious dogs and slaves. It is rare to dare to invite his beloved girls to his home.

Through the courtyard and around the front room, it is the backyard - the place where the stars practice knives. The sycamore tree in the southeast corner of the courtyard has lost its leaves, its branches are dry, and the rough bark is covered with crisscrossing scars. Three feet away from the thick tree trunk, it was the wall that Ning was climbing over. For many nights, Ning was leaning out of the wall and calling 'Stars - Stars -'. The boy jumped on the tree with joy, climbed over the high wall, took the girl's hand like a bird regained freedom, and jumped out.

Walking here, the two looked at each other tacitly and grinned.

handsome is like a god descending to earth, gentle like a flying fairy, and heaven seems to give this young girl a different kind of favor. It seems that as soon as they smile, the whole world will melt into this beauty.

Ning Zheng put his hands behind him, jumped his feet and walked forward. His flexible eyes swept through the courtyard with fallen leaves and smiled, "This is my favorite yard. My house is always cleaned by servants. There are no fallen leaves in autumn and no snow in winter. Even if you want to step on a footprint on the road, you can't find the kind of mud. My grandfather is a housekeeper. He can't tolerate his servants to do these trivial things well. He is particularly fierce to the servants who make mistakes. Only with a smile on me, he likes the clean courtyard and the garden to be neat... Your yard is what I'm satisfied with!"

Ning is always speaking briskly. Xing Chenjing thought for a moment before grinning and said, "The house is empty, and the house is large. The servants are sometimes too busy to clean this place. And I also like such a natural yard. If it's too clean, I won't get used to it.

The girl turned her head and blinked her eyes and smiled, "It's another thing we have in common."

The sycamore leaves are yellow and dry, and they are piled up with a thick layer before they make a sound of 'wiping'. With the girl's light footsteps and careful thinking, she can actually hear a bit of rhythm.

"Ning Zheng, when you leave Shangji City, I have something to give you!" The stars followed the girl, sounding like a mosquito, as if Ning was the owner here, and he was a guest.

"Okay!" The girl still jumped and smiled at herself.

There was no sense of surprise as imagined, and the stars couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

The girl with her back to him smiled unnaturally and muttered with laughter, "Stupid cow, won't you send it if I don't leave Shangji City?" Naturally, Xingchen will not hear this. In fact, she likes Xingchen's stuffy nature. As a princess, she saw many noble dans who approached her with various purposes and listened to all kinds of sincere or false sweet words. On the contrary, the stars were as clear as the midnight starry sky to suit her appetite.

The boy's voice is very soft, his eyebrows are beautiful, and his smile is very beautiful, with a fragile beauty like a thin fetal porcelain. There is another kind of tenacity, like a plant that has been growing in the dark for a long time, longing for light and desperately wanting to grow up, which makes people can't help but have infinite expectations for him. There is also the blood contained in the depths of the bones - more than a month ago, he was intercepted and killed by a group of people in black. The boy stood in front of him with a knife, like a reef hit by wild waves for thousands of years, unswervingly protecting her. His eyes are red, and his blood is still clear.

Xingchen is such a lively person. His ruby eyes are clear and clear. If you stare straight at those eyes, you can see what he likes, what he is worried about, what he is afraid of, what he expects... Seeing his most real and freshest side, it makes her heartbroken-- It is clearly a person who is eager for the whole world to understand him, to prove himself, and to realize what he wants with his own hands.

"Hey, Xingchen, what are you going to do in the future?" The girl suddenly turned around and asked seriously,

"Ah?"

"Is there anything in your heart that you want to achieve? No matter how much you have to pay, don't hesitate! You are a man. You always have to do one thing and spend your whole life doing a big thing..."

Xingchen lowered her head and stared at her toes, avoiding the girl's eyes that seemed to pierce everything.

He did have something in his heart that he wanted to achieve. It was so huge that he felt frustrated when he thought about it. So far, he has not dared to mention it to anyone. Except for the city owner's grandfather, who was full of expectations for him, he didn't even dare to say this idea out loud for fear of being regarded as a joke, although it sounded like a joke.

There is also a small but beautiful wish that makes him dare not speak easily. He is afraid that it will break as soon as he opens his mouth and dissipate in the air - he will always be with his beloved person and always be with the girl with ponytailed eyes. Does he dare to speak? Can he speak?

Maybe a man is such a strange and contradictory guy. He has grand ideals in his heart. He wants to ride a horse and wave a knife to kill a world of my self-respecting world, and he also wants to be lazy and leisurely with his beloved woman and not care about the world.

Especially in the process of a boy's transformation from a man, the passionate and frivolous grand ideals of teenagers are intertwined with the beautiful longing for gentleness, which makes people unable to distinguish which is reality and which is illusory. Longing to fight with a knife, how can you hug your beloved girl again? How can you hold the knife tightly with your fingers wrapped around the girl's beautiful long hair?

How many people give up their beautiful vision for hegemony and wait for the hegemony to be successful, alone and have nothing to rely on. How many people grind their ears, stay together for a long time, abandon the ideals in their hearts, do nothing, and live a decadent life.

I suddenly remembered what the city owner's grandfather said to him at that time that he wanted to be an emperor. This idea was really good, but his belief in supporting him as emperor was too fragile. If Ning Zheng is willing to be with him and not ask about the world, does he still want to be the emperor? If he became the emperor, Ning Zheng was gone. In the end, it was just empty. Does it still make sense?

Xing Chen bowed his head and said nothing, while the girl opposite still looked at her, full of expectation.

The surroundings suddenly became so quiet. Ning was standing quietly in front of him, no longer jumping, and the sycamore leaves in the courtyard survived. It was so quiet that the stars felt depressed.

It was such a simple question that made him overwhelmed.

The boy was embarrassed, and the girl looked forward to it, as if she was questioned and had nothing to say.

He secretly raised his eyes and peeked at the girl from the cracks in his forehead hair - those clear eyes were full of vision, like a pool of blue water, soft and shocking.

How to answer so as not to let Ning Zheng's expectations fail, and there is a mess in the starry mind.

The expectation in the girl's eyes is still lonely little by little.

In fact, no matter what Xingchen says, she will support her, and even with her status as a princess, she will help Xingchen realize her ideals. In fact, what she is looking forward to is that Xingchen said something that moved her. As long as he opens her mouth, she dares to look back.

It's just that he doesn't open his mouth, how can she be sure? How dare you give sincerity?

Suddenly, she smiled again, and the loneliness of that moment was swept away. He strode forward, stood in front of the man, reached out and picked up his face, looked at him, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if I don't know what to do in the future now. Who can guess the future."

Then she raised her face, looked at the blue and flawless sky of Shangji City in late autumn, stretched out her hands, framed a rectangle with her index finger and thumb, framed a small piece of the sky, and said, "Stars, you see, now you may be young and not open-minded, and you can only see this sky. Just like fighting with the people, being able to eat and wear is happiness. If you get a taels of silver, you will feel very lucky. But in the eyes of a six-grade waiter, what is a silver coin? Dozens of gold can only be owned by owning a luxury house. Further up, in the eyes of Prime Minister Yi or General, those fast-blooded things that make ordinary people jealous are readily available, so what do they want in their hearts? The difference between the starting point and ambition determines the vastness of a person's vision!"

Ning Zheng said, his hands gradually separated, and the framed sky became bigger and bigger, until his arms were open, as if to hold the whole sky in his arms.

"Stars, no matter what you do, I will wait for you to sit in the world!" Ning Zheng looked at the boy and said word by word, with a powerful voice, like a vow.

The heart of the stars is beating wildly. Ning was encouraging him, obviously trying to give him hope. He also knew that Ning Zheng was disappointed by the hesitation and silence just now.

He really wants to say the ideal in his heart, that gentle longing, even if it is regarded as a joke, he is not afraid of being ridiculed.

There is nothing more heartbreaking than this to disappoint his beloved girl.

"Dong Dong--" Someone knocked on the door in the front yard.

Who came so untimely! The courage that Xingchen had just summoned suddenly broke the flood of the embankment. Fortunately, I finally don't have to face this embarrassing problem again. He left the sentence 'I'll open the door' and strode away.

Ning Zheng's Biche eyes were still gloomy after all, like a cat, gently kicked the sycamore leaves and whispered, "Really, is there anything else you dare not say to me? Who on earth is the girl?
