Capture the Jade - Chapter 127
The ground was muddy and slippery, Teng Yuyi accidentally fell again, her knees hit the hard ground and made a muffled sound, but she didn’t realize the pain, and she got up again with her hands up.
She has traveled thousands of miles from Yangzhou to Chang’an, but there has never been a moment in the past when she felt that the road under her feet seemed to be endless.
The night wind blew on her face, and it seemed to freeze to her bones, but her heart was as hot as her breath. Lin Chengyou was standing in the dark alley, his eyes were blind, and he was embarrassed, but he was still shining like a bright moon. .
Finally, he was close at hand.
Teng Yuyi couldn’t wait, and plunged into his arms. The lantern in his hand fell to the skirt and went out suddenly.
Without a lantern, the surroundings became darker, but Teng Yuyi’s heart and eyes were extremely bright. She could clearly hear his chest wall beating wildly, and his breathing was extremely rough. Just now, he stood as stiff as a wooden stake. He moved, and suddenly came alive at this moment. He raised his hand and carefully touched the person in front of him, her shoulders, her fur collar, and her cheeks… The movements were so eager, yet extremely precious, as if there was a beautiful foam in front of him. , disappears with a touch.
Teng Yuyi burst into tears, wrapped her arms around Lin Chengyou’s waist, pressed her head to his chest, and said, “Lin Chengyou!”
Just like she would do every time in the past when she was in a hurry, she called him by his first name.
Only she, only she would call him that. Lin Chengyou’s hand rested on Teng Yuyi’s cheek, and in the silence, Teng Yuyi suddenly felt a chill on his forehead, and tears fell. Her heart trembled and she looked up at him, but unfortunately her own tears condensed into a thick water shell in her eyes, making her unable to see his expression at the moment.
Lin Chengyou’s chest rose and fell, as if he was treating the most cherished thing in the world, he touched Teng Yuyi’s eyebrows very slowly. Following her curved eyebrows, round and big eyes, and long eyelashes… I traced it carefully… just like I had done it countless times in my dreams. Drawing and drawing, he suddenly folded his arms and embedded her in his arms.
***
Teng Mansion, Tan Shangyue.
The yard is brightly lit, and maids can be seen walking around under the corridor and in the garden.
The old man and his wife just arrived at the house, and a lot of luggage is still piled on the carriage. In order to arrange it as soon as possible tonight, Chunrong and the girls are busy in and out of the house with the maids.
Since Niangzi woke up from her illness, she has never been so happy as tonight. Almost all the people in the house felt the joy of the little master, and they also laughed and laughed.
Teng Yuyi walked around Lin Chengyou at the table, asking for someone to go to the chef to pass a message, and for Biluo to brew her favorite tea.
Wherever Teng Yuyi went, Lin Chengyou’s face followed the sound, and he hadn’t taken off the cloth on his eyes, but he could clearly see a smile on his mouth.
That kind of wanton smile that is even brighter than the spring light in April.
Juesheng and Qizhi sat beside them and couldn’t keep their mouths shut. In the past few months, I haven’t seen my senior brother smile. Tonight, the familiar smile is back. That kind of public happiness can infect everyone around me.
This is Lady Teng’s small courtyard, and they stay in her study.
It doesn’t seem like it’s out of order so late, but tonight, no one cares about the rules.
Madam Teng helped her senior brother all the way into her small courtyard. At that time, General Teng was watching from the side with a cane. General Teng not only didn’t take offense, but showed a very warm smile.
Everyone in the house was full of smiles, and everyone was extremely sincere to their senior brother.
After helping senior brother to her small study, Mrs. Teng asked senior brother to sit at her desk and not go anywhere.
The same is true for senior brother. Before, no one was allowed to help him, but tonight he was allowed to be supported by Mrs. Teng, and he would stumble from time to time, and then he would definitely say, “Ayu, please support me well.”
At this time, Mrs. Teng would carefully look at the feet of her senior brother, with a puzzled expression on her face: “Hey, I’ve clearly seen it…”
After entering the room, the senior brother didn’t stop, saying that he was thirsty, saying that he was hungry, and wanted to eat with Mrs. Teng.
Madam Teng’s skirt and hands were still sticking to the mud, but she was busy without a word.
Every time Teng Yuyi finished telling the next person something, she would look back at Lin Chengyou, and see him sitting at the table “looking” at her, her eyes would be bright and full of smiles.
Chunrong came over to remind Teng Yuyi: “Madam, go back to the house and clean your hands and face.”
Only then did Teng Yuyi remember that he was in a mess, so he had to say to Lin Chengyou, “I’m going to change clothes. You must take good care of senior brothers.”
After leaving the room, he suddenly opened the curtain again and burrowed his head in to take a look, confirming that Lin Chengyou was sitting obediently where he was, and then he went in contentedly.
Lin Chengyou laughed silently, hearing Teng Yuyi’s footsteps walking away, he groped to pick up the tea cup, but when the tea reached his lips, he didn’t drink it. Not so hot anymore.
Fortunately, Teng Yuyi came back soon, and brought a late night snack by the way.
She changed into a new dress with a vermilion bottom sprinkled with hydrangea and silver silk clips. The outer head was covered with a ermine waistcoat. The embroidered patterns at the corners of the skirt were looming, reminiscent of Xinyi flowers showing their beauty in early spring, but the neckline and cuffs were fluffy. It makes Teng Yuyi’s face deceive jade, and her temples are like thick clouds.
Chunrong and Biluo looked at Lin Chengyou at the table, no wonder the lady had to wear this new dress, so she was so happy that she didn’t pay attention to it. Now they can see it clearly under the lamp, and Prince Cheng is also wearing one today. It was a vermilion tuxedo shirt, with a black ermine cloak on the outside. Looking at it coldly, the stitches on the inner tuxedo shirt seemed to be made by the same embroiderer as the lady’s dress.
It’s a pity that the prince can’t see this scene.
Teng Yuyi asked Chunrong Biluo to put the porridge and vegetables on the table, and sat down at the opposite table.
“You’re hungry, let’s try it.” Teng Yuyi greeted Juesheng and Qizhi in his mouth, but he was busy serving porridge for Lin Chengyou.
When Lin Chengyou reached out to serve the bowl, he almost “accidentally” knocked over the porridge bowl. Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were stunned, then shrank their necks and buried their heads to eat.
Teng Yuyi felt anxious, and simply got up and sat beside Lin Chengyou. The first time I took care of a blind person, I blamed her for being too careless.
She personally handed the bowl to Lin Chengyou, broke his fingers to help him hold it steady, and then lifted the chopstick: “I’ll bring you some vegetables.”
Lin Chengyou said logically, “I want to eat some vegetarian food first.”
“it is good.”
Teng Yuyi poured a spoonful of mashed taro into his bowl, and Lin Chengyou said again, “Is there any fish?”
“There are fish and there are fish.” Teng Yu gave him the dried perch from the Songjiang River.
“I want to drink soup.”
Teng Yuyi personally served Lin Chengyou soup: “Do you like duck flower soup?”
After a while, Lin Chengyou said that he wanted to eat snacks, but fortunately, even the desserts were ready-made.
Lin Chengyou had enough to eat and drink, and Teng Yuyi shoved the towel into his hand again. Lin Chengyou cleaned his hands and sat there listening to Teng Yuyi eat.
The tea on the table was fragrant, but his mind was all on Teng Yuyi.
Teng Yuyi ate all the meat dishes, but refused to eat vegetarian dishes.
Really picky eaters.
Lin Chengyou thought for a while, picked up the spoon in her hand, followed the memory of eating, and groped for a spoonful of bracken and put it in Teng Yuyi’s bowl.
Teng Yuyi was stunned.
Just listen to Lin Chengyou say: “Seeing that you like to eat Yuhan mud, I will help you with a spoonful.”
But that’s obviously a bracken…
Teng Yuyi’s eyes were astringent: “Okay.”
Apart from that, eat the spoonful of bracken cleanly.
After a while, Lin Chengyou poured another spoonful, still bracken.
Teng Yuyi ate again.
It didn’t take long for Lin Chengyou to give her a third spoonful of bracken.
This time, Teng Yuyi’s sadness turned into suspicion for a short time, but when she turned her head, she saw that Lin Chengyou had several scars on his hands and wrists, which looked like the bruises he had accidentally tripped over on weekdays, and Yin Hong’s wounds fell on his fair skin particularly striking on the skin.
Recalling the conversation I heard in the alley before, Lin Chengyou seems to be unable to even investigate the case now. He is blind, as if he had been in the dark all day. That kind of situation would be a moment for a man like Lin Chengyou. It was unbearable, but for the past two months, because she was afraid of disturbing the Gu worms in her body, she was forced to come down. There was no food left.
After finishing the meal, Teng Yuyi cleaned his hands and face, sat in front of Lin Chengyou and quietly looked at the cloth strips in his eyes, Chunrong and Biluo saw this, and quietly withdrew with their eating utensils. out.
When there was no one else in the room, Teng Yuyi put her hand around the back of Lin Chengyou’s head, and carefully untied the cloth.
The strip of cloth slipped from his face, his nose was still tall and straight, his skin was as white as jade, and his eyes were as black as lacquer, and he looked the same as usual.
However, as soon as the wind touched, Lin Chengyou frowned almost invisible.
“Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
But his eyes turned red in the blink of an eye, and Teng Yuyi hurriedly helped him put it back on, rubbing his eyebrows, trying to figure out where the Gu worm was hiding.
Lin Chengyou pointed to his temple: “The Gu worm is here, pressing his eyes behind him, so he can’t see it.”
After speaking, he hesitated for a while, and reached out to touch Teng Yuyi’s face. Before in the alley, she didn’t care about her finesse. She was just recovering from a serious illness. Losing a little weight, thinking about what happened in the past six months, he felt a pain in his heart: “Ayu—”
Suddenly, Teng Yuyi held his face, and the sweet and warm breath approached. Before he could react, soft lips pressed against his.
Lin Chengyou’s heart suddenly shrank into a ball.
Teng Yuyi’s heart beat as fast as his. I heard that the Gu worm was passed into her body through kisses at the beginning, so it is estimated that this method can only be used to solve the Gu worm. She can’t wait to help Lin Chengyou regain her sight, and she is willing to try any method.
Besides, she was willing to be close to him…
She closed her eyes, sucked his lips bit by bit, sucked once, reluctantly let go of him, blushed, and carefully looked at his face with blurred eyes.
“How?” After a moment, she asked expectantly.
Lin Chengyou’s thin lips were as red as her face, and his Adam’s apple rolled, and said, “It seems… it doesn’t work, why don’t you try again?”
Teng Yuyi kissed him without saying a word.
