Chapter 495 Extra Shang Yang [Seven]
I am an extremely awkward person.
When I was young, I liked eating fish but not shrimp. But when fish and shrimp were placed on the table, and my father asked me what I liked to eat, I timidly pointed to the plate full of shrimp. It seemed that it was a shame to let others know my preference.
So much so that now, I find it difficult to admit that I like Jiang Muye.
At that time, he desperately wanted me to give him an answer. Facing his repeated questioning, I just blushed and remained silent, and didn't even nod or shake my head in response to him.
Fortunately, I am thin-skinned, but he is thick-skinned.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, he took my hand and held it against his chest, smiling and saying:
【If it is not a response, then it is a response. 】
From then on, we just naturally got together.
It was also from that day that I realized that a cold and wooden man like him could actually look so beautiful when he smiles.
At that time, he had already gone through the ceremony of coming of age, and was able to enter and leave the palace freely.
Whenever he had free time, he would always take me for a stroll around the city. I also had my own selfish motives, so while we were strolling, I led him to my former home.
I call it home, but actually my home has long been gone.
A few years after I entered the palace, my old home was requisitioned by the imperial court. The land was flattened and used to grow crops.
After all, things have changed and people have changed. Now when I look at the golden wheat all over the ground, I feel a little lonely.
I don’t know if Jiang Muye noticed my low mood, he hugged me from behind, rested his chin on my shoulder affectionately, and said gently:
【Let's go, I'll take you somewhere. 】
I followed him to the beach and saw a lonely house in the distance.
Slowly approaching, the more I look, the more familiar it becomes.
Looks like it, very much like it!
This house is almost exactly the same as my previous home!
He led me outside the door, where I stood there in a daze. My feet felt as if they were filled with lead and I couldn't move an inch.
He held my hand tightly and smiled brightly:
【What are you standing there for? We are home. 】
I later found out that, years earlier, when I knew my home was to be requisitioned by the imperial court and demolished, I had painted a picture.
I drew the home in my memory, looked at the drawing, thought of my parents, and burst into tears.
At that time, Jiang Muye happened to see me crying and asked me the reason casually.
After I explained the whole story to him, I almost forgot about it.
I never thought that he was so concerned about it that he specially asked someone to go to my house, take note of the appearance of the house and the furnishings inside, and built an identical one here on the seaside.
Although I was delighted, I was also curious and asked him:
[You were only thirteen at that time, and you criticized me every day for this and that. Why did you keep my words in your heart and do so many things without telling me?]
He still smiled: [When I saw you crying like a kitten, I felt sad too, and I kept thinking about doing something for you.]
Yes,
He has been silently giving to me since early on, but he never says it.
I was thinking, perhaps it is because of his silent protection that I have always been able to get a constant sense of security from him?
He is like me, we both don't like pretentiousness.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, he quickly changed the subject and said:
[This will be our home in the future. If you get tired of living in the palace, we can come here. I think it's wonderful to listen to the sea and watch the sunset.]
I felt how happy I was in this situation, but I kept joking:
[Hey, Your Highness Ye, don’t you think that living here with me and eating simple meals every day is not worthy of your status? ]
He rolled his eyes at me, pinched my cheek and said:
[The food cooked by my wife is the most delicious food in the world, how dare I despise it? ]
I was amused by him, but he became more and more slick and frivolous as he rapped.
After dinner at home that day, while I was leisurely watching the sunset at the beach, I snuggled in his arms, feeling the sea breeze and his warm breath.
When the sky was painted a warm orange by the afterglow of the setting sun, I heard a fool excitedly say to me:
[Look, Yang'er, this sky looks just like the sunflowers you like. I thought, since you like them, when I marry you, I will plant these flowers all over the candlelight! ]
I laughed: [It is difficult for flowers to survive in the shade of candles, why plant them everywhere? ]
He said: [If you have the will, nothing is difficult.]
