…
He Tuyuan came to the place Dongmei mentioned early with a lantern. He saw that the wall here was indeed lower than other places, but the terrain outside was also low, and it was a swamp.
It was difficult to find a place to stay, so He Tuyuan had to find another way. Fortunately, there was a tree growing nearby. He Tuyuan put the lantern on his waist and began to try to climb the tree.
After finally climbing up, he found the branch was a bit brittle, so he could only hold on to it cautiously and move to the edge bit by bit.
As the night deepened, Du Yinye, under the cover of Dongmei, sneaked to the rockery in the backyard. Du Yinye struggled to step on the rockery and finally climbed up. She poked her head out of the wall and whispered, "Mr. He? Are you there?"
He Tuyuan heard the voice and responded, "I'm here, I'm above you."
He Tuyuan stretched out his hand and pulled his numb arm, "Miss Du, this is for you." He Tuyuan took off the lantern on his waist and handed it to Du Yinye.
Du Yinye also tried hard to reach it, and finally reached it, "Okay, I got it, thank you."
"No, you're welcome. It's my duty." He Tuyuan blushed for a moment, not knowing what to say.
The moon was hiding behind the dark clouds at this time, emitting only a little light. The semi-dark atmosphere between the two people was so cold that for a moment, neither of them was speechless.
Dongmei, who was keeping watch below, was getting anxious and whispered, "What are you two doing? Say whatever you want to say quickly, or the patrolling guards will come and you won't be able to say anything."
"Yeah." Du Yinye nodded after listening.
"Miss Du, do you have me in your heart?" He Tuyuan asked while lying on a tree branch.
"Don't you know whether I have you in my heart or not?" Du Yinye was angry.
"I don't know, because I don't think there is anything about me that is worth liking..." He Tuyuan said in a low voice.
"How could that be? You are handsome, tall and strong, and you will be taking the exam soon. How can you have no good points? And you are also very filial to your parents, and you are very good to your sister." Du Yinye said.
When He Tuyuan heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Then wait for me. When I graduate from high school, I will definitely marry you. I swear!"
"You don't have to swear, I know you will come." Du Yinye looked up at him.
At this time, the moonlight came out a little bit, shining on the faces of the two people, and the two people looked at each other.
They both saw the deep affection in each other's eyes, and turned their faces away at the same time.
"Here, this is a letter I wrote to you." Du Yinye handed a letter to He Tuyuan.
He Tuyuan took it and put it in his arms solemnly, "I'll go back and take a closer look."
"Can we let Dongmei come to get my trust from time to time? That way we can communicate with each other." He Tuyuan asked.
"I'll ask her about this when I get back." Du Yinye replied.
"Miss, stop talking. Someone is coming. Come down quickly." Dongmei said in a low voice.
"Mr. He, goodbye." Du Yinye said hurriedly and went downstairs. Du Yinye and Dongmei quickly hid behind the rockery.
Not daring to move, the servant shone a light over there, but finding nothing suspicious, he took his men away.
He Tuyuan quietly retreated after they had safely retreated. Unfortunately, the branch could not bear He Tuyuan's weight and broke. He Tuyuan fell from the tree and into the swamp, covered in filth.
Despite this, He Tuyuan stood up and immediately checked if the letter was wet. Fortunately, it was placed at the very back and was only slightly wet. Then he checked if he was injured. If he was not injured, he continued to smile happily. That was great. Today was also a day to meet Miss Du.
Du Yinye and the other person carefully returned to the room, both of them heaved a sigh of relief, "It really is so exciting, Miss."
"Yes, come and light the lantern. I want to see the lantern that Mr. He gave me." Du Yinye said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I'll be there right away." Dongmei also smiled and immediately took out the oil lamp.
Du Yinye saw that it was a lotus lantern. On the other side of the lantern was a couple of beautiful women admiring the lotus flowers, with a poem on it: "A small boat cuts the lotus, two mandarin ducks push the duckweed here. I raise my cup to the moon and ask from the high platform, 'Wait, wait, wait, Du Jun, do you understand what I am thinking?'"
Du Yinye wrote a poem beside him:
I miss you so much, I am worried about you. I lean on the railings in the high building, I pray, pray, pray, I just hope that you will be the first in the list!
After she finished writing, she copied it again, and after it dried, she added another piece of letter paper with only one sentence on it: The mooncakes made by your sister are delicious, thank you.
Put it in an envelope and tell Dongmei, "Tomorrow, find an opportunity to give it to Mr. He."
Dongmei took the letter and nodded.
When He Tuyuan returned home, Fang Caixiu was shocked to see the child covered in filth.
"Change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold." Fang Caixiu said worriedly.
"Okay, Mom, I'll change later." He Tuyuan smiled and pushed her out of the room, closed the door himself, and started reading the letter.
The content of the letter made him smile.
The next day, He Tuyuan received the letter brought by Dongmei. After reading it, he understood everything.
He immediately handed a black triangular stone to Dongmei and asked her to take it to Du Yinye. "Excuse me, Dongmei. This is a stone passed down from my family. I don't know what it does, but I hope it can be used as a token of our love. Please be sure to give it to Ye'er!"
Dongmei rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Okay."
When Du Yinye received the stone, Dongmei even imitated "Ye'er~Ye'er~"
Du Yinye blushed and pretended to be angry and wanted to hit her.
The two of them were joking around, and He Tuyuan had already put his mind at ease and focused on preparing for the exam.
