After crossing, let yourself go

Song Ruochen was sitting in the yard looking at the jade pendant on the table. He reached out and picked it up. As he looked at the jade that was emitting soft light, the evil look of Han Jiu appeared in his eyes.

He knew that he was angry, so he bought this jade to please himself. He also knew that he deliberately tormented him yesterday, but he still coaxed himself happily. Thinking of Han Jiu's cute appearance in front of him, he unconsciously curled his lips.

On this day, Han Jiu was practicing when it suddenly started to rain, so he sat by the window bored and watched the heavy rain outside. "Why does it rain so suddenly?"

Song Ruochen sat on the other side of the window and also looked out the window. "The weather is unpredictable."

"Boring" Suddenly she thought of something and stood up to go out.

Seeing him running out like he was risking his life, Song Ruochen was stunned. "It's raining so hard outside. What are you doing?"

"Guard, my guard." Pei Qing was still outside in the rain. He would get sick if he continued like this.

Song Kuchen took a sip of the tea in his hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu has already put him in the gatehouse to rest, so he didn't get wet in the rain."

Han Jiu sat back on the couch by the window with relief, "That's good, thank you, Brother Ruochen."

"You, the guard, have always been hiding in the dark. I thought you didn't know." Song Ruochen really thought so. He always believed that Pei Qing was arranged by Han Jiu's family to protect him secretly. Turning around, he saw the little thing in Han Jiu's hand and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Han Jiu smiled and said, "Paper crane, it's so boring, I just folded it casually." Then he handed a paper crane in his hand to Song Ruochen.

Song Ruochen took the paper crane handed over by Han Jiu and stared at the little thing in his hand with his beautiful eyes. Seeing him like this, Han Jiu couldn't help but wonder if this man could act more harmless. This silly expression would kill a woman. "Do you like it?"

Song Ruochen continued to nod with that silly expression.

Han Jiu was speechless: "I'll teach you."

Song Ruochen was very smart, and Han Jiu only taught him once before he could do it. He took out a pile of colorful papers according to Han Jiu's instructions, and the two of them sat by the window and started folding them. After a while, they folded a lot.

"These paper cranes will look better if we string them together and hang them up," Han Jiu said boredly, supporting his head with one hand and stretching the other hand out of the window to catch the raindrops dripping from the eaves.

Song Ruochen put down the last folded paper crane in his hand and said, "Don't you want it?"

"I'll give it to you" What do I need it for?

Song Ruochen put all the folded paper cranes into a wooden box. Han Jiu wanted to laugh when she saw how careful he was. This man really had a pure heart beneath his mature appearance.

After putting the paper crane away, Song Ruochen saw some black paper left on the couch and asked, "Why can't I fold a black paper crane?"

Looking at the paper, Han Jiu said expressionlessly, "It's not that I can't fold it, it's just that I don't like black paper cranes."

"I thought you liked black very much. You wear black all day long." Song Ruochen put away the black paper on the couch and sat back by the window.

"I do like black, except for paper cranes. To me, it represents death." Han Jiu looked out the window indifferently, his thoughts drifting far, very far...

It was the first time that Song Ruochen saw Han Jiu with such an expression. It was a kind of loneliness. It was as if no one could enter the world of this man in front of him, because no one understood him.

For a moment, I felt that I and the man in front of me were in different spaces, as if he would disappear at any time. My heart suddenly tightened, and I stretched out my hand to grab something, but found that I couldn't grab anything.

Feeling something was wrong with him, Han Jiu turned around and saw his hand suspended in mid-air. "What's wrong?"

Song Ruochen calmly withdrew his hand and said, "It's okay."

Soon Han Jiu returned to her usual lazy state and started chatting with him. Sometimes Han Jiu's words could make Song Ruochen blush with anger, and sometimes they could make him laugh for a long time.

After the rain stopped, Han Jiu left in high spirits. Song Ruochen sat by the window and looked at the wooden box on the ground. He unconsciously recalled Han Jiu's slender and bony hands. He was a gentle man who was very considerate of other people's feelings. He also remembered the loneliness of the man leaning against the window just now. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes to feel the moonlight after the rain.

For a month, Han Jiu got up to run almost every morning. During the day, he played with Cheng Feng. After dinner in the evening, he went to Song Ruochen with Pei Qing to learn martial arts.

Maybe it was because Song Ruochen taught her so well or maybe it was because Han Jiu got lucky. The martial arts she learned halfway through were also very good, and she could be considered an extraordinary fighter. Her physical fitness also improved a lot, her hands and legs were stronger, which made Han Jiu happy for several days.

Later, it was even more wonderful to be able to fight against a master like Song Ruochen. But one day, Han Jiu accidentally broke the sword tassel that Song Ruochen liked very much, which made Han Jiu coax him and please him for a while, fearing that he would torture himself like last time. Fortunately, Song Ruochen only had a cold face for two days and did not torture himself, so he lived a comfortable life every day.

In order to celebrate his minor success in martial arts, Han Jiu came in early that day carrying two lively fish.

Xiaoyu kept circling around Han Jiu, talking non-stop, talking about this and that, how boring Qingfeng Sect was, and how popular the senior brother was with girls. Han Jiu didn't know how this girl suddenly changed her personality and started chatting with him in just over a month. But seeing this girl being so lively and willful, I really worried about her future. How would she get married in the future?

"Do you have someone you like?" Xiaoyu held her face with her hands and looked at Han Jiu who was squatting in the yard cleaning fish.

Han Jiu smiled and said “Yes” when Xiaoyu asked this question.

Song Ruochen, who was sitting in the yard reading a book, paused, and Pei Qing, who was hiding outside the yard door, was startled.

"Who? Tell me who you like. Is she good-looking? Is her figure as good as mine?" Xiaoyu excitedly surrounded Han Jiu.

Do you have a good figure? A teenager dares to talk about his figure, "I have a great figure and I am pretty."

"Really? What's the girl's name?" Xiaoyu asked, as if she had discovered something new.

"Its name is Chengfeng," Han Jiu laughed as he cleaned the fish.

"Chengfeng? Why would someone choose such a weird name?" Xiaoyu thought naively.

Han Jiu laughed without saying anything. Pei Qing outside the yard also laughed. For some reason, Song Ruochen in the yard put down the book in his hand, picked up the sword, and went to the middle of the yard to practice sword.

Han Jiu looked at Song Ruochen dancing with the sword and asked Xiaoyu, "Does your senior brother usually practice sword at this time?"

"No, Senior Brother always practices sword in the morning. It's strange, what happened to Senior Brother today?" Xiaoyu tilted her head in confusion but didn't care.

Han Jiu cooked the two fish she brought. Xiaoyu said that Song Ruochen had a light appetite, so she cooked one spicy one for herself and Xiaoyu, and one steamed one for Song Ruochen.

Xiaoyu ate until her belly was full but she still kept eating. Han Jiu knocked on Xiaoyu's bowl with chopsticks and said, "Stop eating. If you eat more, you'll explode. If you like it, I'll make it for you another day."

Xiaoyu reluctantly put down her chopsticks and said, "You said so, make it for me in the future." She turned to look at the eldest brother and said, "I want to eat the same as the eldest brother."

"Okay, next time I'll make you the same as Brother Ruochen. Okay, don't eat it anymore. You'll get fat if you eat more." This girl actually liked eating fish so much that he didn't even eat much of the fish himself and let her eat it all.

"I'm going out to digest the food." Xiaoyu wiped her mouth and ran out.
