Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Pei Siheng has been weak since childhood.

He has been taking medicine since he was born, and what he is most familiar with is the bitter taste of the medicine. From childhood to adulthood, depression has always accompanied him.

The gazes of his elders, the back of his sister practicing with the Shadow Hunting Bow, and the weapons displayed in the martial arts training ground that he could only look at and would be accused of being disrespectful to his body if he even touched them.

just now……

"Are you ready?"

Nanzhi's voice came to Pei Siheng's ears.

Pei Siheng smiled, and the handsome young man looked at his wife beside him and said to her gently, "I'm ready."

He was carrying a bag of luggage on his back, with a dagger at his waist, wearing a black suit, and the earrings hanging down from his ears had a certain exotic beauty.

Twenty-one-year-old Pei Siheng looked at the tall, handsome chestnut horse beside him. He touched the horse with his slender, bony hands, and when he felt the warm temperature, his heart was filled with excitement.

Looking at Nanzhi again, gazing at her beautiful face, he pursed his lips and said nervously, "I, I'm afraid I can't take good care of you..."

He has been unable to accomplish anything since he was a child. Some of the reasons were due to his weak body, and some were due to him giving up in the face of the disapproving eyes of his elders.

Everyone has experienced being caught in the rain when they were a child. It was a happy and novel experience, and they could feel the rain hitting their bodies. But he had never experienced that before. He would fall ill and be unable to get up if the wind blew, so how could he even think of being caught in the rain?

Pei Siheng has never left the house since he was a child. When he was possessed by a puppet, he had no choice but to follow everyone's pace and never had a real choice of his own.

After getting married, Nanzhi decided to go out for a trip, just her and Pei Siheng.

The elders of the Pei family originally disagreed. When they refuted, Pei Siheng, who had been obedient since childhood, reacted strongly and stood in front of Nanzhi, retorting them one by one!

However, he was very tough when confronting them, but when it was time to set off, Pei Siheng became nervous again.

If he were alone, he could naturally live in the open air, but with Nanzhi, he didn't want her to suffer, and he was even more afraid that he would be the one who made her suffer.

Nanzhi held Pei Siheng's hand, and as soon as her hand touched his fingers, it was quickly held back, as if she was holding the treasure of time.

She looked at Pei Siheng: "Caring is mutual, don't underestimate me. You take care of me and I take care of you. As long as the two of us are together, there is no need to think too much about other things."

"Nanzhi is right." Pei Sijing walked over.

She patted her brother's shoulder and encouraged him, "Show your courage to refute your family. I believe you can take good care of Nanzhi. Besides, if you don't go out to play now, you have to wait until the end of your ten-year vacation in advance. You'll be so busy in the Monster Hunting Bureau that you won't even have time to eat. Will you regret it later?"

"Yes, you have taken ten years' vacation in advance." Nanzhi agreed.

Pei Siheng looked at Pei Sijing and promised her, and also promised himself: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely take good care of Nanzhi."

……

After being bid farewell by everyone from the Demon Hunting Bureau, Nanzhi and Pei Siheng rode their horses out of Tiandu City. On the wide official road, the two rode side by side, and the horses' tails swung back and forth, as if their horses could sense their happiness.

A year's time.

Nanzhi and Pei Siheng traveled along the way, first heading south to experience the misty rain of Jiangnan. They sat by the window and watched the drizzle swaying the willows like a beautiful scroll, listening to the harp music, and walked on the rugged stone steps with umbrellas in hand. The umbrellas blocked the rain, and the world under the umbrellas was only the two of them.

They visited the largest Taoist temple in the country. From the towering Tibetan Taoist temple, they could easily overlook the entire city. They calmly copied the scriptures and looked at the fallen leaves of the ginkgo trees covering the ground with golden color.

When the old but energetic Taoist priest was preaching, Nanzhi couldn't understand and fell asleep. The Taoist priest would then take a ruler, gently tap Pei Siheng on the head, and then point out the Taoist teachings to her.

They went to the snowfield, and Nanzhi and Pei Siheng made a snowman in the ice and snow. It ended up turning into a snowball fight where they hid behind the snowman. The ground and the sky were covered with white, and their black hair turned snow-white.

Winter passes and spring comes.

When it was cold at night, Pei Siheng would considerately put a cloak on Nanzhi, and Nanzhi would mend his clothes that were accidentally torn when he was out.

The two of them snuggled up to each other in front of the fire, roasting the fish caught by Pei Siheng and a few strings of mushrooms, and drinking the wine they bought in town. After eating and drinking their fill, they lay on the blanket on the ground and looked at the starry sky.

When Pei Siheng was too weak to go out, he read a lot of books and could explain a lot about the stars in the sky.

Nanzhi rested her head on his arm, listened quietly, and fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, we packed up and headed to Lancheng.

In a few days, Lancheng's Flower Festival will be held. Every household will take out the most beautiful flowers they have grown to compete, and the final winner will be the flower king of this year.

Nanzhi and Pei Siheng hurried there.

When I came across a large flower field on the road, I couldn't help but stop to admire it.

In Lancheng, flowers are everywhere. The tall and strong peach trees that are hundreds of years old are dropping pink petals. Walking on the street is like the sky is raining petals.

Everyone here wears flowers on their hair, and Nanzhi found a shop and also wore flowers on her hair.

Walking in the fragrance of flowers, Pei Siheng bought a peach blossom and handed it to Nanzhi. Nanzhi took it and looked at the scorching but not bright peach blossom, then smelled it and said "It smells so good" and handed it to Pei Siheng again: "You smell it."

Pei Siheng lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms, while the tip of his nose was gently brushed by the pink petals.

Nanzhi succeeded in teasing the cat, ran towards the competition venue in front, and called Pei Siheng to catch up.

……

On the way to the desert, Nanzhi and Pei Siheng saw a strange cave and went in to explore. Looking at the stalactites in the cave that were astonishingly crafted by nature, Nanzhi was amazed by the wonders between heaven and earth.

Reach out your hand and touch the clear water flowing in the cave to catch small fish not even as big as your finger.

We also climbed a local wishing mountain on the way. It is said that all wishes made at the top will come true.

Nanzhi and Pei Siheng climbed to the top of the mountain.

A spirit that had been practicing for a long time appeared and looked at the two of them in an unfathomable way: "What are your wishes?"

It turns out that the wishes of those who climb to the top of the mountain will come true because of this kind-hearted spirit who likes to do good deeds.

Nanzhi pointed at Pei Siheng and said, "I want to be with him forever."

"You have already achieved it." The monster said, and his figure disappeared.

Pei Siheng suddenly realized what was happening, and his ears, which were already shy, turned red.

On the last trip to the desert, the scorching sun burned the endless sand that stretched like the sea, and Nanzhi, wrapped tightly, rode a camel.

Because Nanzhi didn't like having a guide lead the camel for her, Pei Siheng led it for her himself.

The journey was not far, and we returned to the pergola to rest in a quarter of an hour.

There were many tourists here. Nanzhi took a piece of local specialty cake and handed it to Pei Siheng, then picked up the cake for camels and ran to feed the camel she had just ridden.

It was a year after I left that I returned to Tiandu City after the trip.

Pei Sijing met someone at the city gate.

I saw my brother and sister-in-law's horses from a distance.

After getting off the horse, Nanzhi and Pei Siheng happily hugged Pei Sijing and told her how much they missed her over the past year.

Knowing that the two were just being nice, Pei Sijing looked at Nanzhi and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems that Ah Heng is taking good care of you."

She looked at her brother again, and when she saw his handsome face, she paused: "Why does he look a little darker?"

Thinking of the scorching sun in the desert, Pei Siheng whispered, "I can't stand the sun."

Pei Sijing couldn't help laughing, and Nanzhi couldn't help laughing either. The two of them immediately burst into laughter.

"Let's go." Pei Sijing's voice was still full of smiles. "This is the best restaurant in Tiandu City. Everyone is waiting there to welcome you."

Nanzhi and Pei Siheng walked hand in hand and returned to this city that was full of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and was filled with all kinds of memories.
