Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Drunk and Crazy Heartbeat
There was ambiguity in the tone.
The silence outside spilled in through the window, calming all the noise.
Tonight, she will cut herself open bit by bit, opening those scars.
Not only that, but also a few more...
Yun Si looked at her expectantly, hoping that those eyes would show excitement, joy, or shyness...
But nothing he expected happened, and all his emotions were drowned by tears.
She cried...
Surprisingly calm.
Yun Si was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Li moved closer and placed a kiss on the corner of his lips, catching him off guard.
With a buzzing sound, my brain went blank.
He had no time to investigate Jiang Li's motive for this action. His heart was beating fast and he was terrified.
"A Si...thank you..." Jiang Li spoke first.
Her smile was pure and innocent, a smile Yun Si had never seen before.
The most beautiful scenery he had ever seen was the peach blossoms in spring and Jiang Li's smile at this moment, both of which made his heart beat faster.
"Sister...what's wrong?" Besides fear, there was also helplessness.
"I want to sleep..." she said drunkenly again.
Yun Si suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was just drunk.
"Okay." Yun Si picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed.
But after Yun Si let go, Jiang Li didn't let go of the arm around his neck: "I'll tell you a secret..."
"What secret?"
"Before I met Ah Si, I was not happy at all..." She said it calmly, but she couldn't hide the trembling in her voice.
Yun Si looked at her blankly as if his throat was strangled.
"I don't have a mother, I don't have a father, Ah Si is the first person who treats me sincerely..." Tears slid down my face with warmth.
Yun Si looked at the tears and wanted to reach out to wipe them away, but his body seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move at all.
She began to ramble again: "I grew up under Tu Niang, she was very beautiful."
Hearing the lingering feeling in her words, Yun Si coaxed her and asked, "What happened next?"
"I found that she is not good at all." Jiang Li loosened his arms and curled up to the side. "Every month, Tu Niang would take my blood. She raises a lot of snakes and feeds my blood to those snakes..."
Yun Si's pupils trembled, as if he didn't understand.
Under the bright light, Jiang Li stretched out his arm, revealing his fair wrist.
"It's almost healed, it won't be noticeable anymore..."
Yun Si looked over and saw that white scar was very obvious...
And he never noticed it.
"When I was little, I hated full-moon days the most. Every time they came, Tu Niang would cut open my healed scar... It hurt so much, but I didn't dare cry out. I was afraid Tu Niang would find me annoying and chase me away..."
Her whisper was like dense needles piercing Yun Si's ears.
"They said I was a calamity star and that I had killed my mother."
But it was clearly they who killed my mother.
"When I was born, there was a heavy rain and all the crops were drowned."
But isn’t it normal to have heavy rain in summer?
She rambled on and on, from the cold stares she faced to her predicament, how she was chosen as a saint, and how they let her die with such peace of mind...
"Actually, that destruction wasn't directed at you, but at me. Because a star of disaster doesn't deserve happiness..."
"Sister..." Yun Si tried to wake up the person who was lost in memories.
Jiang Li looked at him and gave him an incomprehensible smile: "There is one last secret... Do you want to hear it?"
In his eyes, Jiang Li was always tough, but today she was fragile.
"You speak, and I listen."
She leaned close to his ear, her breath falling on his ear.
"Cangshui Village doesn't have what you want..."
Yun Si froze in place... He quickly helped her sit down and asked, "What did you say?"
Jiang Li looked at his reaction and his eyes suddenly darkened.
Guessed right again...
Jiang Li remembered that there was a painting hanging in the side room of the ancestral hall.
But the last time she went to the ancestral hall with Yun Si, the painting had been moved to a different room, and that room was exactly the room where she kept Yun Si.
If this was a coincidence, then what did it mean that she found Yun Si's dead poisonous insect in the yard?
After spending so much time together, Yun Si's five senses became sharp, and he saw no difference between day and night. So, it was impossible for Yun Si not to notice her when they first met.
The more people emphasize something, the more they want to cover it up.
His wording when Jiang Li asked was full of loopholes.
At night? A fox? An accident?
She didn't care about Yun Si's purpose at first because she didn't think about meeting him a second time.
But now it's different.
She wanted to be someone who had been deceived, someone who lived in a lie. Therefore, she would use every possible excuse she could get... even if it was insignificant.
"I say, Ah Si, can you please stop lying to me in the future..."
Her eyes looked helpless and pitiful.
Yun Si's breathing stagnated: "Then I will tell you a secret too..."
Jiang Li stretched out his hand to stop him: "No need, Ah Si just promises me..."
She must not let him say it, because once he did, all her pity would disappear.
She wanted to use his guilt to end her pain.
"I want to drink water..." She ended the topic by acting coquettishly.
"I'll get it." Yun Si stood up, poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Jiang Li held the water in his hands and said, "A Si, will we be able to get married smoothly?"
He paused, then smiled at her and said, "Of course."
No one will destroy our...
Yun Si took the teacup and reached out to press her down on the couch: "It's too late, sister, go to sleep..."
"Why don't you sleep with me?"
She started talking nonsense again...
Yun Si swallowed and sighed.
He had tried his best to restrain himself from touching her these days, and when she asked him suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Then let's not get married..." She sighed and spoke loudly on purpose.
Yun Si didn't want to hear this and reached out to cover her mouth: "Sister, you can't turn your back on me the next day..."
Jiang Li wanted to test it out, but he had already put his hand into her clothes...
The hot skin touched and rubbed against each other, generating heat.
Yun Si's hidden thoughts, which he dared not reveal, now opened and closed freely. Restraint and forbearance were only temporary, and desire had never been suppressed.
The body becomes sensitive after drinking, and the slightest force will leave a red mark.
Yun Si held her arm and kissed the scar...
When Jiang Li mentioned killing Tu Niang, his expression was cautious, a bit glaring. If he were Jiang Li, he wouldn't let Tu Niang die so easily...
"Um……"
He exerted a little too much force, and Jiang Li couldn't help but frown...
When she was drunk, she seemed much quieter, and even if she felt uncomfortable, she would just sob a few times.
"Sister, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me." Yun Si held her face and kissed her.
Jiang Li's lips were blocked, and he couldn't say anything...
Forget it, just treat it as a last compromise with him.
Yun Si had forgotten the pain after his wounds healed, and had thrown all the pity and love behind his mind.
The window was blown open again and remained open until the next morning.
The windows were left open all night.
When Jiang Li woke up, he felt dizzy.
She obviously didn't drink much last night and was almost completely sober.
Her body was so numb that she almost lost consciousness...
She habitually raised her hand to her waist, but was stunned when she raised her hand.
A strange feeling that she couldn't ignore exploded inside her.
"Sister, don't move. You might get hurt..."
He...how could he??
Jiang Li was so angry that he was breathing heavily and was filled with rage.
He whispered in her ear: "I asked my sister last night, and she said it was okay..."
She did agree to something in a daze yesterday, but she didn't remember it, and she shouldn't remember it.
She was drunk last night and doesn't remember anything now.
She said angrily, "Let me go!"
Yun Si chuckled: "Sister has turned against me again."
Jiang Li pretended not to remember anything: "What happened last night?"
Yun Si was stunned for a moment: "Sister, you really don't remember."
"Remember what?"
What a pity...
Yun Si held her hand and said, "It's okay, I just need to remember it."
He remembered, remembered that she had suffered a lot, remembered that she looked forward to marrying him.
It took Yun Si several days to get that wedding dress.
The silver ornaments on it were made by him.
The moment Jiang Li saw the wedding dress, he was shocked: "A wedding dress from Miaojiang?"
"Sister, try it?"
Jiang Li declined, "I'll wear it on the wedding day."
"Sister, please give it a try." Yun Si couldn't wait to see it and couldn't wait until that day.
"Okay, then I'll try..."
Jiang Li changed into her wedding dress, which fit her perfectly.
The silver ornaments on it jingled with every step.
Yun Si stared at her with wide eyes: "Sister is so pretty."
"Were these accessories made by Ah Si himself?"
"Yes." Yun Si worked on it for several days before finally finishing it.
"Then I'll take it off first and put it back on on the wedding day."
Even though she only wore it for a short while, Yun Si had already remembered her appearance, the appearance of Jiang Li in her wedding dress.
"Sister." Yun Si suddenly called him.
Jiang Li turned around with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong?"
"The wedding date...is the day after tomorrow, right?" He looked at Jiang Li, thoughtfully.
Jiang Li replied: "Yes."
"Okay." Yun Si smiled back.
As usual, Yun Si cooked for Jiang Li in the evening.
The nights after autumn are always cooler.
The meal seemed a little strange, and Yun Si kept staring at her.
Jiang Li didn't want to talk either, so he just finished eating.
Yun Si asked with a smile, "Sister, are you full?"
"I'm full."
Jiang Li looked at him and noticed the excitement gradually rising in his eyes.
Yun Si didn't say anything, took her hand and walked outside.
"Where are you going so late?"
They never went out at night.
"Sister, close your eyes if you feel scared." Yun Si held her hand and continued to walk forward.
Walk along the dirt path and across the ground covered with weeds.
There was frost and dew on the grass, wetting the hem of my skirt.
The wet touch made her feel very uncomfortable.
Yun Si finally stopped. Jiang Li looked up and saw the entrance of Cangshui Village.
Yun Si smiled at her gently, let go of her hand, turned his back and walked forward.
Every time he took a step, the pendant on his body would make a sound.
One sound after another made Jiang Li's heart beat faster.
She seemed to have guessed what Yun Si was going to do. Her clenched palms were sweating and her heart was full of anticipation.
Ding-ling-ling...
The voice suddenly became rapid.
Jiang Li's eyes widened suddenly, and he froze in place...
