Chapter 245 Let’s meet up, who’s the coward?
For the next week, Rongzhen could see a small red flower outside her window every day, but she never caught the person who sent the flower.
After hiding for two nights without success, Rongzhen was no longer in the mood to play hide-and-seek and send flowers with him, so she simply wrote a note and left it on the windowsill.
When I woke up the next day, the note had indeed disappeared, but the little red flower with dewdrops on it was still blooming.
Rongzhen asked Daisy to put the flowers in her bun, put on her new dress and walked leisurely to the farm gate.
The gatekeeper opened the door as usual and asked, "Miss Jenny, are you going to town? I heard that a merchant has brought some new things from out of town."
"No, I just want to take a walk around the neighborhood." Rong Zhen replied casually. After walking out of the door, she did not walk around as she said, but stood there looking at the dead woods.
She was waiting for a guy to show up and meet her as the note said.
Let her see who the other person is. Why does he have to be so mysterious? He just keeps courting her but refuses to even show his face.
While she still has the patience to play the face-to-face meeting trick with him, he should come out and let her meet him. Otherwise, when the farm becomes busy later, she will not have so much free time and energy to waste on a strange person.
In case the other party didn't understand, she wrote this down on the note, hoping that the person could understand what she meant.
This is your only chance, don't blame her for turning against you if you don't seize it.
As a result, she waited until the sun rose high and the sunlight was bright, but she still didn't see the expected figure.
Daisy was already trying to persuade her: "Miss Jenny, if you stay any longer, the sun will burn your skin. Let's go back quickly."
Although the dead woods caught the tail end of spring and experienced a second spring, they had not yet grown large enough treetops to provide shade. Rongzhen could only stand outside the farm and be exposed to the sun.
She felt that she was indeed a little stupid. He was just a secretive guy, but he made her wait until now.
"Okay, let's go back." She was ready to take back the chance she had given that man and turned to leave.
At this moment, there was a little movement in the dead woods, as if it was deliberately made to lure her to stay.
Rongzhen paused and continued walking back as if nothing had happened.
The noise behind them suddenly became louder, even Daisy heard it. She remembered that the hired worker on night patrol had mentioned the howling of wolves, and she immediately became nervous.
Daisy: "Miss Jenny, I heard there are wild wolves in the Deadwood Forest. Let's go back and get someone to catch them so they don't hurt you."
"Wolves won't appear here during the day. I'm afraid it's some guy who came but didn't dare to show up." Rong Zhen finally stopped when the noise behind him became louder and louder, turned around and said to the location where the sound came from.
Daisy was a smart child. Her blue eyes rolled around, and an idea flashed in her mind: "That white-haired goblin in a black robe?"
Rongzhen took off the small red flower from her bun and said slowly, "I don't know either. I just wanted him to come out and meet me because he gave me so many flowers. Unfortunately, he didn't want to."
The dead woods became quiet again, as if the person who made the noise was silenced by her words.
Daisy saw what Miss Jenny meant and tiptoed over to her, "Hey, you white-haired goblin in a black robe, you want some more straw candy? Miss Jenny has plenty. Just come out if you want some."
Unfortunately, there was still no response, as if it was dead.
Rong Zhen completely lost interest. "Forget it, a forced melon is not sweet. Let's go back."
This time, they didn't wait for any more demons to appear in the dead woods. They left without hesitation, not giving the person in the dark any time to react.
Just as the gate was about to close, a loud voice echoed from the dead woods: "I'm here, I'm not unwilling."
The voice is very clear and pleasant, so I guess he is not very old.
The gatekeeper was startled, but at the same time, he lowered his guard because of the obviously childish voice. He turned to apologize to Rong Zhen, "I'm sorry, Miss Jenny, I didn't realize there was someone hiding outside."
Rong Zhen waved her hand. "Your duty is to guard the farm gate. Whoever is hiding outside is strictly none of your business."
Besides, he has climbed onto her windowsill several times to place flowers. If you had really discovered him, you would have caught him long ago. Why would you bother her to do it herself?
While she was talking to the gatekeeper, Daisy continued to shout towards the Deadwood: "Then why don't you show up? Are you the white-haired goblin in the black robe who likes to eat straw candy? If you don't show up, our Miss Jenny will leave."
Rong Zhen had already taken back the opportunity given to the other party, so naturally he would not stop any longer. He raised his feet and continued to walk inside.
Daisy shook her head regretfully like a little adult and hurried to catch up.
The gatekeeper curiously stuck his head out and looked outside, but saw no one.
Hiding behind a dead tree, a man in a black robe hid his head and face under his hood, muttering to himself in frustration: "I'm not a fairy, I'm a born disabled elf. How dare I go out and meet you..."
So in order to avoid being disliked and hated by her, he could only be a coward who hides his head and shows his tail.
But his heart ached.
At night, the moonlight was beautiful. After washing up, Rongzhen lay on the windowsill to blow dry her hair. She heard two knocks on the wall below, as if someone was deliberately trying to attract her attention.
Thinking of the guy who didn't dare to show up during the day, Rong Zhen's heart moved slightly.
She leaned out and looked down, and sure enough, she saw a figure in a hooded black robe standing at the base of the wall below the windowsill.
The bright moonlight only illuminated his thin body, which was slightly taller than an ordinary man, but could not clearly illuminate his facial features hidden under his hood.
However, his long snow-white hair was quite conspicuous in the moonlight, undoubtedly confirming his identity.
He was the one who repeatedly showed his affection to her in secret, giving her a water slime and then a fat bird, and then a red flower. But after receiving her invitation to a face-to-face meeting, he was evasive and refused to show up, thus standing her up.
Rongzhen angrily left him alone for a while, then realized he was staying downstairs, as if he was watching the moon with her. She couldn't help but clear her throat and ask, "Don't you want to meet me?"
"I, I'm not unwilling to see you." The man in black robe under the windowsill explained hesitantly, "It's because I'm ugly and I don't want you to hate me."
Huh? Rong Zhen looked puzzled. "How could that be? Daisy said she'd seen you before and that you looked like a fairy, very beautiful."
The man in black robe under the windowsill was even more confused than she was. "But they all said that I was ugly..."
Rongzhen frowned after hearing this, thinking to himself, could it be that this guy was being verbally bullied?
It is known that Daisy cannot lie, and there is no need for her to lie in this matter. So the person below probably has a face like a fairy, and is envied and hated by others, so they deliberately say nonsense to him, misleading his values and distorting his character.
Rongzhen hated people with bad intentions the most. Her anger towards the man in black robe subsided a little, and she tried to suggest, "How about you let me see you? I think you're not bad looking. Those who say you're ugly are the ugliest."
“But, but…” The man in black robe was still hesitating, his fingers gripping the hood tightly, as if he was protecting his chastity.
Rongzhen's mind twisted for a moment, and he almost burst out laughing. The next second, his eyes were attracted by his exposed hand.
The hand was white and slender, with distinct joints on the fingers. It was obviously a beauty's hand. Coupled with his visible height and figure, no matter how ugly he was, he couldn't be that ugly.
Besides, is she the kind of person who only looks at appearance superficially? That's really underestimating her.
Former male protagonists: ...If we weren’t so handsome that it made your knees weak, would you be easily moved?
Hey, let’s not talk about the old calendar anymore. Rongzhen just wants to focus on the present and see the true face of this mysterious friend.
Facing the black-robed man's hesitation, she continued to encourage and urge him, "Don't say but, let me take a look, or I'll go downstairs to see you."
The man in the black robe whispered goodbye, then under Rong Zhen's bright eyes, he raised his head little by little, revealing the face in the hood, letting the bright moonlight fall on his face, illuminating every delicate and beautiful facial feature and deep contour inch by inch.
It is said that when you look at a beauty under the lamp, she becomes more and more beautiful. The same effect can be seen when you look at a beauty under the moonlight.
As the delicate face in the black robe gradually revealed itself, Rong Zhen's eyes became brighter and brighter like light bulbs.
Although the moonlight was not as clear as the daylight, she could still clearly appreciate the temptation and charm of the face in the black robe.
Daisy really wasn't lying, he really did look like a goblin.
"You are obviously very beautiful!" Rong Zhen's tone was full of admiration, and the sparkling surprise in her eyes was almost overflowing.
The man in the black robe blushed gradually after sensing it, but fortunately the moonlight covered his face and prevented him from looking embarrassed. However, his eyes, which seemed to be carefully drawn by God, became moist. He mustered up the courage to look at Rong Zhen and almost took her soul away.
This really hurts my life. Rong Zhen coughed twice and said seriously: "Don't listen to what others say. You are really good-looking, just a little worse than the elves I have seen. Fortunately, you are not an elf, otherwise I definitely won't be friends with you."
The black-robed man paled when he heard her words, his shyness and blush instantly fading. He suppressed his sadness and asked her, "Why don't you like elves? Are they bad?"
Rong Zhen said casually, "They're pretty good, but I'm more afraid of male elves. They feel too tall and their ears are too pointy, which makes me a little scared. Female elves are okay. I made friends with a female elf last time I went to the forest market."
"I, I'm not an elf." The man in the black robe pulled his hood tighter, expelling himself from the elf clan.
He wasn't born with elven ears anyway, so he wasn't really an elf. He didn't have the tall stature of an elf, so it was more appropriate to call him human than elf. Right now, he preferred to be human.
Rong Zhen didn't know what he was thinking, so she said matter-of-factly, "You're definitely not one of them. I've seen those elves with my own eyes, and you're clearly different from them. Even if you were very beautiful, I wouldn't mistake you for me."
The man in black robe finally felt relieved, his face regained some color, and he continued chatting with her.
At the end of the conversation, Rongzhen ended her wildly imaginative topic and formally introduced herself to this Protestant friend: "You should all know, my name is Jenny, and I'm the owner of Will Farm. What's your name? Where are you from?"
The man in black robe couldn't help but smile, then he stammered as he did at the beginning: "My name is Allen, from, from..."
