The windows in the room were wide open, and the cold wind rushed in with the laughter and laughter in the hall, and there was actually a hint of sweet wine.
It messed up Shen Yan's long hair and messed up her heart.
Standing in front of him, Shi Qing's mind was as clear as ever, and he gently lifted his thin, medium-thick lips: "I have always followed Master Fu, and under his influence, my emotional reflex arc is much longer than that of ordinary people.
The distance from the banquet hall to your room is a full 345 steps, and I thought about it 345 times, when did I start caring about you? Maybe it was the first time I saw you, maybe because you bit my hand, maybe It was when we were avoiding Hozy's pursuit, maybe..."
It turned out that every scene of the two people's past together was imprinted in the depths of his mind, so clearly.
For Shen Yan, it is an unforgettable memory.
Slowly, her hearing seemed to disappear. She could no longer hear what Shi Qing was saying, and she only felt her heart aching.
It turns out that she wasn't just being sentimental. When she was tempted, the other person's heart was also moved at the same frequency.
It was obviously the answer she wanted to hear the most before, and he still gave a perfect answer
There is joy, but even more sadness.
Every confession he made was like a rose with thorns, so charming and moving, but it also made her bleed dripping from the pricks.
Shi Qing's voice seemed to be tempered with poison, extremely gentle and affectionate: "I like you, Your Highness Princess."
He wanted her to know his feelings, but the most helpless thing was that he couldn't take her away now.
Neither he nor she can abandon the people they care about for injustice.
This will bring disaster to the Fu family, as well as the president and her mother.
He just wanted her to believe him, like every time before.
He will protect her and accompany her. The predicament at this time is only temporary.
As his confession came to an end, Shen Yan raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, lowered her head, and tried hard to collect her emotions.
During this gap, Shi Qing also became extremely nervous. He just didn't want to lie to anyone anymore, but he was not sure whether the third princess's heart would be consistent with his.
He pressed his hand tightly, involuntarily wanting to help her wipe away her tears, waiting for her response.
After about a minute, Shen Yan pressed her eyes tightly with both hands, suppressing the tears that were coming up.
She raised her head, revealing a flawless white face, with reddish eye sockets and a reddish nose tip, making her look like a porcelain doll, too beautiful to be true.
"You know... today at the wine table, when Laent asked me to have a drink with him, what was I thinking?"
Shi Qing was slightly startled, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
At that time, he deliberately stood a little far away. Perhaps he instinctively resisted seeing her with other men, but his eyes were still locked on her, and he naturally saw Lient grabbing her to drink.
Her resistance and tangled forbearance made his heart bleed.
"What is it?"
I thought she would tell him how wronged she was and how scared she was.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yan smiled charmingly, revealing two pointed little tiger teeth, which was both cute and playful.
She blinked her long eyelashes, wet with wet tears: "I was thinking, it turns out that your people still have such a wonderful custom. When you marry the person you like, you have to drink a cup of wine, so I was there I wonder if you and I might have a chance to have a drink together?"
As she spoke, she turned around and went to the dressing table and poured two glasses of wine.
He brought it over with a smile, handed it to Shi Qing, and asked cautiously in a dumb voice: "Is it okay?"
Shi Qing took the wine glass without thinking, and put his other hand around her waist. His dark eyes were as bright as obsidian.
The two of them crossed their arms and drank the warm wine.
The moonlight came in through the window and shone on the two of them, casting an intertwined shadow on the ground.
One of the wedding customs in Bincheng is to exchange glasses of wine.
After the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber, they first drink half a cup each, and then drink the whole cup together, which is called drinking the same cup of wine. In ancient times, it was also called Hexin.
"Give it to me." Shen Yan took the empty cup from his hand, her eyes gleaming with water and full of emotion: "Shi Qing, I want you to always remember me as I am now. Remember."
Shi Qing frowned, not understanding what he meant.
Suddenly, there was a strange turbulence in the stomach, and soon after, the internal organs also started to heat up, the brain became dizzy, and the vision also started to wander.
He blinked, wanting to hear Shen Yan's words and remember her face at this moment.
But the harder he tried to see clearly, the more blurry his vision became.
In his last sight, he only saw a tear rolling out of Shen Yan's eyes and falling along her chin.
Before he fainted, he unconsciously raised his hand, just in time to catch the tears.
Don't cry, my princess.
boom--
Shi Qing fell straight down. Shen Yan reached out and could only hug his head.
She sat down on the ground, hugged his face, and kept crying: "I'm sorry Shi Qing, I like you too, and I want to be with you, but it's too late. I don't want to drag you down. I have already agreed to marry you." In Laent, Walker hosted a banquet with representatives from various countries to witness, which is equivalent to telling the world. If I dare to regret my marriage, my father will be labeled as unfaithful, and you... will also suffer crazy revenge from Laent."
At the end of the story, she burst into tears, and countless tears fell on Shi Qing's body like broken pearls.
For a long time, she seemed to have cried all the water out of her body, her eyes were dry and her heart was empty.
She stood up with Shi Qing in her arms, dragged him to the bed, and helped him take off his shoes, socks, and coat.
She lay on her side beside him, her cold hands slid down his hair, and her eyes gradually stopped on his lips: "I actually heard my mother say that when a couple drinks a glass of wine, they confirm each other's willingness to do so. We have walked hand in hand for a lifetime, and according to your local folk custom, after drinking a glass of wine, you can enter the bridal chamber together."
Her hands touched the buttons of his shirt, and after a brief pause, she unbuttoned them.
And she also leaned down and kissed him gently on the lips: "Although we can't live together for a lifetime, at least we can go through the process of drinking with you before I get married to Liant."
I don’t regret it, and neither will you, right?
Our brief intercourse ended with the ebb and flow, paying homage to this encounter.
The night wind outside the window became increasingly noisy, but it could not lower the temperature of her heart.
Ballroom.
The grand banquet went on for a long time, and Walker took Lient to interact with famous generals from various countries. From time to time, they chatted about the future direction of the country, as if this was not an engagement banquet, but a presidential succession meeting.
In the gap, Walker looked at Liente who was blushing from drinking, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked half teasingly, half jokingly: "How can you give Ai Wei a task at night if you drink so much?"
Liant drank so much that his tongue was a little big. He raised his hand and complained: "Ai Wei said that I can't enter her room without permission before we are officially married. And the president just said that I can't force her.
She also asked Shi Qing to be her exclusive bodyguard."
When Shi Qing mentioned it, he felt his nose hurt again, and his eyes were full of bad luck after hitting a nail on the head.
