After saying goodbye to Ruyi in Chuanfeng Lane, they each went into their own courtyard.
Ruyi washed her face and saw the moonlight from the sky reflected in the wooden basin. She looked at it for a long time but could not come back to her senses, as if she was thinking about something.
A girl's thoughts are always difficult to guess.
She breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away the water stains on her chin, and then returned to the house.
Lying in bed, thinking about it but unable to sleep.
At midnight, I was still tossing and turning.
I simply didn't sleep anymore. Thinking that the weather would be nice today, I went to the woodshed and moved the ladder out, leaned it against the edge of the yard, and used it to get up to the roof.
Ever since her mother got married, she would often run to this house. When she was bored, she would look at the moon. The view here was the best and she could see far, far away.
Thinking of my father, my mother, Ping An, and Uncle Chen...
I always feel more and more lonely.
Just like what I said when I was a kid, growing up is not good at all. Not only am I not as comfortable as I was when I was a kid, I also laugh a lot less than before.
The civet flower in the yard looked up and saw a person sitting on the roof, so she climbed up through the corner of the wall.
Ruyi looked down and saw Lihua walking over.
Lihua blinked and asked, "You don't want to sleep?"
Ruyi smiled and said, "I can't sleep."
She reached out her hand to touch Li Hua's head.
However, Li Hua avoided it and said, "You can't touch it."
"Why?"
"Only Moyu can touch the head of Cihua."
"Who is Mo Yu?"
"It's Mo Yu."
After hearing this, Ruyi asked: "Is Lihua a very important person?"
"Yes." Lihua nodded.
Ruyi asked again: "Mr. Chen can't touch it either?"
Lihua thought for a while, but said: "I don't know..."
That's not what it said before.
Ruyi smiled after hearing this and asked no more questions.
Li Hua turned to look at her and asked, "Good man Chen said you can't climb to the roof, as it's easy to fall off."
Ruyi said: "I won't fall."
Li Hua added fur on her hands and said, "But it doesn't matter. Good man Chen is asleep. He doesn't know anything."
Ruyi looked around and saw Mr. Qingshan sleeping on the bench with his head propped up through the moonlight.
"I'm afraid you'll be scolded if Uncle Chen finds out."
"Just be quiet."
The civet cat walked over to Ruyi and lay down on her. It was probably because the roof tiles were a little uncomfortable.
Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look at the moon.
Lihua seemed to have noticed something and asked, "You don't seem to be very happy."
Ruyi said: "It's a little bit."
"Because of what?"
"I feel like Uncle Chen has changed."
"Well..."
The civet cat glanced at Chen Changsheng in the courtyard, feeling a little confused.
Ruyi glanced at Li Hua and said with a smile, "You won't understand even if I tell you."
Lihua said: "How can Lihua understand if you don't explain it clearly?"
"What else can I say?"
"What has changed?"
"It's changed for me."
Lihua lowered her head and stopped talking.
If he noticed that it didn't speak for a while, he lowered his head and glanced at it.
"Why don't you speak?"
"The raccoon flower cannot speak like half the people can speak."
Ruyi was amused by it. When the smile gradually faded, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, Uncle Chen hasn't changed, it's me who has. Sometimes I always feel that Uncle Chen and I are no longer in the same world.
People are worried that they will drift away from each other in the future and will no longer care about them."
"Well..."
Lihua asked: "Is good person Chen important?"
"certainly."
Ruyi said: "Uncle Chen is my family."
This is the second time Cihua heard this word.
It was a little confused and asked: "What does family mean?"
"It's like the black jade that Lihua said."
Cihua seemed to understand a little bit.
Ruyi added: "Will Lihua be worried about not having a family in the future?"
"Mo Yu is always here, why should Ci Hua worry?" Li Hua blinked.
After hearing this, Ruyi paused and said: "It seems that Mo Yu is indeed very good for Ci Hua."
"Yes."
Lihua blinked and said, "Has Mr. Chen treated you badly?"
"Of course it's good, I just can't part with it because it's good."
Ruyi said: "In the final analysis, I am just a mortal, but Uncle Chen is a god. How many three to five years can I have in my life? But for people like Uncle Chen, three to five years is like a blink of an eye."
Things, even the raccoon flower feels short."
Li Hua couldn't help but didn't understand what Ruyi meant.
This is probably due to the gap in cognition.
Li Hua does not understand the difference between immortals and mortals.
"But three to five years is really a short period of time."
Lihua said: "Lihua has been staying in Yunshang Mansion for more than ten years, and it doesn't feel very long."
"That's the difference." Ruyi said.
"Just like Sister Yun, maybe Sister Yun has been chasing Uncle Chen's footsteps for so many years, but after she really saw the gap, Sister Yun had no choice but to wait, from the jade years of sixteen or seventeen until she waited
People are old and their pearls are yellow..."
"When you wait until a certain year, a certain day, a certain hour, you may be able to see him once, but how long can you wait in a lifetime, and how many times can you see him?"
Ruyi lowered his head, with some sadness in his eyes.
"But I don't like this. Those are my relatives. How can I be satisfied after seeing them only a few times in my life? I wish I could tie him up and not allow him to leave. I will just stay in Qingshan City and not go anywhere.
!”
Lihua opened her mouth when she heard this, her eyes were very clear.
Still don't understand.
Ruyi probably knew that Cihua didn't understand, so she told Cihua what she said.
The civet flower held its head high, it could feel Ruyi's emotions, the kind of unwillingness to be lonely was very clear, but it didn't understand why.
Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the moon, and said: "It's like the moon. It can't be seen or touched. It's the moon that flickers in and out that makes people most uneasy."
"moon?"
Li Hua raised her eyes and saw the round moon. After thinking for a moment, she said this.
"Like candied haws on a stick."
Ruyi was stunned after hearing this, but then she laughed.
Lihua blinked and said, "You weren't happy just now."
It felt so strange that it suddenly laughed.
Ruyi smiled and said, "I'm happy now."
Cihua stared at it for a while and said, "Cihua doesn't understand."
"It's okay if you don't understand."
"good?"
"Um."
Ruyi scratched Li Hua's chin and said, "I wish I could be as pure and carefree as Li Hua, which is really enviable."
"The raccoon flower also has its worries."
Ruyi laughed after hearing this and said: "Some words cannot be used the other way around."
"Yeah……"
Cihua doesn’t understand either.
Ruyi immediately asked: "So what is Cihua worried about?"
Li Hua looked at her and said, "You said Li Hua is fat. Li Hua can only walk when she goes out now."
After hearing this, Ruyi paused and said with a smile: "It's my fault."
"Um."
One person and one cat stayed on this roof tile for a long time.
The wind at night made it a bit cool.
Ruyi said: "I can't tell Mr. Chen what I said tonight. Lihua will keep it a secret for me? How about it?"
"I'll keep it secret for you. Do you have any candied haws to eat?"
