Chapter 64 His Love 4
◎Just pretending to love her◎
Although Yan Yue said it lightly, she still felt heavy in her heart.
How could it be easy to make a person who is stubborn enough to risk his life realize that what he does is of no use and instead causes trouble to his loved ones?
"Hey!"
A shout came from his ears, Yan Yue’s eyes blurred, and then he was pulled backwards and hit a hard "wall".
A voice came from above my head, speaking in a nonchalant tone: "This is the first time I've seen someone scamming a lantern car! With your tiny arms and legs, aren't you afraid that the lantern car will crush you into mud?"
Yan Yue stared at the man who was always frivolous and casual, and thought he was so powerful, as if no matter how big the problem was, it was not worth mentioning in front of him.
Bai Chen was frightened by her gaze and couldn't help asking, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
The tone of his voice at the end was slightly raised, which was very funny. Yan Yue suddenly felt relieved and said with a bright smile: "You are so beautiful!"
Tall lantern carriages slowly drove through the streets, with many beauties standing on the carriages, playing cheerful and appropriate music. The colorful lanterns reflect brilliant colors, making people dizzy.
Bai Chen couldn't help but doubt his ears and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Yan Yue hooked Bai Chen's neck, stood on tiptoes, and put her chin to his ear: "I say, you are so beautiful!"
The clear voice was like the gurgling of spring water, making the tips of people's ears numb and their cheeks suddenly burning. Bai Chen looked at Yan Yue's dark eyes, his gaze slightly moved downwards, stopping on her small, plump pink lips.
The sweet aroma of wine from that night flooded into his mind, tempting him to lean forward slightly, wanting to taste that wonderful taste again.
Yan Yue's eyes moved, and she suddenly jumped up and waved: "We are here!"
Bai Chen's chin was hit by her shoulder and he accidentally bit the tip of his tongue, which hurt so much that tears welled up in his eyes. He covered his mouth in regret and cursed inwardly: I believed your lies! I knew that a blockhead like you wouldn't suddenly become intelligent!
Chu Zhi was carrying a large food box and complained, "The restaurant is packed today. We waited a long time to get it. My legs are sore from standing so long!"
Nan Qing also carried a food box and said, "For the next festival, you have to order your meals early to avoid missing out." Then he looked at Bai Chen in surprise, "Why are you covering your mouth? What did you eat secretly?"
As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Jicun came up to him and asked, "How is it? Is Tingting very touched when she received the brow?"
"What's the feeling..."
Chu Zhi's tone was unfriendly, Yan Yue interrupted her and continued: "We have been traveling for a long time, and the food is getting cold! The Lantern Festival is a big day, let's eat and talk at the same time! Nanqing, quickly put the food on the table!"
The sumptuous meal was placed on the round table. As usual, Yan Yue took out three bowls and gave them to Zhou Lin, Jiang Lao and Zhang Jicun.
The food whose "essence" has been absorbed by ghosts can still be eaten, but it will become bland and tasteless. Yan Yue didn't want to treat herself badly, so she always divided out several portions.
We chatted about the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival and soon had two rounds of drinks.
Seeing that Yan Yue was always talking about something else, Zhang Jicun couldn't help but ask, "Miss Yue, is Tingting unwilling to accept my thrush?"
"Then how can you call your thrush?"
Yan Yue lost her patience and took out the lantern that Shi Ting had given her. She said, "Shi Ting went to the suburbs to collect folk songs earlier and had discovered this pair of thrushes. Although she loves birds, she couldn't bear to confine them, so she went to observe them many times and spent a long time embroidering this thrush lantern. Fortunately, we didn't go to catch the birds, otherwise wouldn't it make her feel uncomfortable?"
Zhang Jicun obviously didn't know about this, and asked in confusion: "She has already discovered the pair of eyebrows?"
Yan Yue said unhappily, "The patterns on the four sides of this lantern are different, which is enough to prove that she has been there many times. You claim to be in love with her, but you don't know her personality at all. How can this be called admiration?"
Zhang Jicun could not hide his disappointment and said with his head down: "The girl is right. I just love her too much, so I just want her well and make her happy with all my heart. In order to please her, my mother was even fired from her job. Perhaps, I haven't done enough..."
Yan Yue became angrier and angrier as she listened. She couldn't help but scold him, "Your mother was fired because you stole the master's flowers! What does this have to do with Shi Ting? Did she ask you to steal them?!"
Zhang Jicun looked up in surprise, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "What did Tingting say to you?"
Yan Yue said in a mocking voice: "Even if I didn't ask Miss Shi, just from what the neighbors and the embroiderers in the embroidery building said, I knew something was fishy!"
She took a breath, tried to adjust her mood, and advised: "Mr. Zhang, liking someone is not a show for others to see. It's useless for everyone to know that you like Shi Ting. The key is that Shi Ting herself doesn't feel your sincerity. Everything you do will only make her feel troubled..."
"impossible!"
"Tingting doesn't not love me, she just doesn't know how good I am and how much I love her!"
"I've done so much for her! There will never be anyone in this world who loves her more than me!"
Zhang Jicun suddenly flew into a rage, which frightened Zhou Lin: "Brother Zhang, calm down..."
Zhang Jicun grabbed Zhou Lin's shoulders and said excitedly, "I'm sincere to her! I want to cut my heart out and put it in front of her! Why can't she see it? Why can't she accept it?!"
“Shut up!”
Yan Yue was so angry that she slammed the table, and Chu Zhi was so scared that she dropped her chopsticks!
For the first time, Bai Chen sincerely wanted to obtain the ability to "see ghosts" so that he could see what the little ghost said to make Yan Yue so angry!
"You want to cut out your heart? Even if you put all your internal organs in front of Shi Ting, she will find the smell fishy!"
"You keep saying you like the girl, but you don't care about her temperament. You always do things to attract attention and cause trouble for her!"
"You think you're being selfless by letting your mother steal the flowers from the master's house and give them to Shi Ting, right?"
"You think you're smart to snatch the opera card of a famous opera actor and give it to Shi Ting, right?"
"You think you are infatuated for setting off hundreds of river lanterns for Shi Ting, don't you?"
"You think you are great for fishing alone in the cold river all night and bringing fish to Shi Ting, right?"
"Shi Ting only knows that you stole other people's things and have a bad character! She took the opera cards back to the opera house and apologized to them in embarrassment! You put a river lantern with her name on it, causing other people's river lanterns to be squeezed out, and she was the one who was embarrassed! Besides, the Shi family has a familiar fisherman, so how could they be short of your two fish?"
Zhang Jicun was furious and retorted: "The fish I caught for her myself is naturally different from the fish I bought from the fisherman!"
"What's the difference?!"
Yan Yue said disdainfully: "Do you think Shi Ting can taste your affection from a fish? A fish is a fish. What you catch is no different from what the fisherman catches. The only difference is that she spends money to buy the fisherman's fish, and eats it with peace of mind, without having to bear unnecessary shackles!"
"shackles?"
Zhang Jicun was so shocked that he burst into tears. "Everything I did was for her good! I didn't even dare to tell my mother that I went to find the thrush because she felt that she had betrayed my feelings and didn't like her! My mother didn't even know why I died...but she thought it was a shackle?!"
Yan Yue was so angry that she was speechless, "Don't you understand? She didn't ask you to do these things!"
"She doesn't want stolen flowers, doesn't need stolen opera cards, and doesn't need you to do those high-profile and ostentatious things! What you did only moved yourself, Shi Ting doesn't need it at all!"
"If you really like her, you should respect her wishes and stop pestering her after she rejects you again and again!"
Zhang Jicun stood with his head down, his hands clenched into fists, and growled in a low voice: "I even gave her my life...what else is she dissatisfied with?!"
Yan Yue's patience ran out, and she mercilessly tore off his disguise: "Don't be so self-righteous! She never asked you to do anything for her, let alone find a thrush for her! It's obvious that you tortured yourself to death, but you still want to put the blame on her!"
"Zhang Jicun, do you really love her?"
"Shi Ting couldn't stand you and was criticized everywhere. She didn't even dare to leave the house for more than a year. She even thought about seeking relief through death! You pushed her into a place of no return and forced her to have only one choice, you! Is this your love?"
"No, you just want everyone to think that you are infatuated and affectionate, and you don't even care about her life or death! You just want to control her and make her fall into the big net you have carefully woven!"
"So your obsession is not to express love at all. You just want a satisfactory result for your meaningless efforts!"
"You didn't come to me to ask me to deliver the thrush for you. You wanted her to know that you died for her, so that she could bear this burden and remain faithful to you for the rest of her life. Or maybe even commit suicide for love. Only then would you be satisfied, right?"
"Zhang Jicun, the person you love is only you from beginning to end!"
The truth is like a sharp blade with a cold glow, suddenly piercing through the foggy appearance.
The false appearance of seeming solid is in fact extremely fragile. Along with the sound of breaking, those facts that had been carefully whitewashed fell off layer by layer of disguise, revealing their true appearance and presenting a shocking and cruel reality.
Zhang Jicun still had his head down, but a strange low growl came from his throat.
Zhou Lin tentatively reached out to pull him: "Brother Zhang, stop being so stubborn..."
"impossible!"
Zhang Jicun suddenly raised his head, revealing scarlet eyes, and his body swelled rapidly!
Just as Bai Chen felt that the shadow was getting taller and bigger, he heard Yan Yue beside him screaming, "Get out of the way! He's turned into a demon!"
Zhou Lin dragged Old Jiang and retreated at a high speed. Before he could gain a firm foothold, he saw Bai Chen unfold the fan and wave his hand!
A gust of wind, as if it had a physical entity, engulfed the expanding Zhang Jicun, and directly broke open the cotton door curtain of the kitchen, throwing him out!
"Stay indoors and don't come out!"
Yan Yue said this and rushed out of the house first, followed by Nan Qing.
Bai Chen smiled helplessly and shook his head, then followed leisurely out, as if what he was about to face was not an evil ghost, but his own naughty child.
Zhang Jicun half-knelt on the ground, his body had swelled by half compared to before, and his voice became even more turbid and unclear: "I don't even want my life for her, she can't get rid of me! She will be with me, whether it's heaven or hell!"
Yan Yue thought about her promise to Shi Ting, raised her whip and ran towards the gate, trying to stop Zhang Jicun.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jicun jumped up into the air and Yan Yue was stunned: "It's over, I was careless!"
But the next second, Zhang Jicun hit him hard again.
Bai Chen's sleeves fluttered and fell lightly on the roof, like an immortal descending to earth, and said to Zhang Jicun, who was knocked unconscious by the fall, "Stay in the yard!"
Yan Yue couldn't help but jump up: "Master is so handsome!"
Bai Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest and reminded him proudly, "You should think about how to deal with this dirty thing!"
Yan Yue took out the talisman Qi Zhaoyang left for him and asked, "Suppress him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "click" sound.
It was Dahei who heard the noise outside and staggered out of the house. He first looked at Yan Yue, then at Nan Qing, as if looking for a familiar scent.
But it couldn't see that a huge ball of fog suddenly rose up and went towards it!
