The gray sky started to rain again, and the passersby hurried down to avoid the rain.
Stepping on the wet marble tiles, Cai 'er ran to the gate of a courtyard to hide from the rain.
Her long and narrow eyes watched as the pitter-patter of raindrops turned into a heavy downpour. Cai 'er wiped the rainwater off her face, her brows tightly knitted, revealing her smooth forehead that was still dripping with raindrops.
Who would have known that it was going to rain, let alone bring an umbrella when they went out?
She missed him…
Cai 'er subconsciously hugged herself tightly, probably because she felt cold, and didn't have any extra clothes on her.
She was not familiar with Chengyang District and did not know where she was standing. In short, this place was much bigger than Fu 'an City.
His vision was blurry, and his mind was suddenly lost. Why was she here? She had thought about leaving the villa and chasing after the world she yearned for, but now that she had really left, why did she still feel so lonely? She must have forgotten that when she left, she forgot to take someone with her. Without that person, the pursuit she yearned for was meaningless.
Forgive her for being willful.
The rain dripped down from the eaves in rows, like a beautiful curtain of beads, emitting a very rhythmic music. It was unknown whether this street was too remote, but in short, no passers-by could pass through it. Cai 'er also felt that it was a bit confusing, so she swept her eyes over the surroundings.
A long wall seemed to surround this house. Other than this big house, there were no other houses around it. However, behind the wall were the houses where the commoners lived.
Two stone lions as tall as humans stood quietly on both sides of the door, as if they were preparing to welcome someone.
There was a plaque hanging above the door, with the words " Li Mansion " engraved on it. Perhaps due to the passage of time, it was covered in dust and cobwebs. Occasionally, one could hear a small creak. He was a little worried that if the wind blew, it would blow this plaque off. It should be an abandoned residence.
"Li Residence?" Cai 'er muttered these two words, looking at the tightly shut door, as if she had thought of something, but she didn't know what it was.
In a large area like Chengyang District, it was not surprising to have a few large courtyards, but it seemed that no one could call it a mansion. Since ancient times, the courtyards where officials lived were called residences. There were no mansions, and the mansions were usually made up of members of the royal family, just like the Crown Prince's Mansion where the Crown Prince lived.
" Li Residence…Royal Younger Brother???"
Other than the royal family, no one else in the Southern Kingdom had the surname Li.
Back then, the Emperor's younger brother had died, so this was the abandoned house that had been left behind.
"It's a pity that no one lives in such a big house!”Cai 'er underestimated, and then looked at the rain that she didn't know when it would stop, and began to complain,"When will it stop?"”
Because of the rain, her somewhat irritable mood became even more irritable.
On one side was the rain, and on the other side was the courtyard. Cai 'er suddenly wanted to go in and take a look at the place where the so-called Imperial Younger Brother once lived.
She thought about it, but she really went in.
This door shouldn't have been opened before, otherwise, how could it have been so thick with dust when it was opened? Cai 'er narrowed her eyes and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose.
The ground was also covered in dust. He was not curious about this, but the footprints of someone walking by were very curious. Someone must have been here before.
With a hint of vigilance, Cai 'er probed left and right, the roof tiles were pressed as tightly as fish scales, and even the crevasse of the Heavenly River wouldn't leak in.
Usually, in the courtyards of other wealthy families, there was a hall as soon as one entered, followed by a backyard and a private room. However, the structure of this house was very unique.
There was a small pond in the courtyard, but it was already covered with moss. In the middle of the pond was a greenish-gray brick road that led straight to the hall. There were four dark red doors in the hall, and the two doors in the middle were slightly open. Many things seemed untouched. The diamond-patterned wooden windows on the side corridor were open and swaying in the wind and rain. The rattan chair and table in front of the corridor had been gnawed away by insects. They were old and tattered. Three feet away from the rattan table, weeds overgrew. It was already a desolate courtyard, and it was even more miserable. Although the walls were mottled, the small windows made of bricks and the surrounding decorations still showed its free and simple style.
The most eye-catching thing was that there were several plum blossoms in the two corners of the courtyard. Ling Han was alone, and no matter how wet the rain was, he stubbornly refused to let go. It was as if he could already smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms. Plum blossoms were common in the southern country, so they were also called the Capital of Plum Blossoms, and could be considered the national flower of the southern country.
Cai 'er didn't dare to go too deep, afraid of disturbing the owner of this house.
Just as Cai 'er was about to leave, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. It didn't seem to be caused by the wind, causing Cai' er to immediately become nervous. Don't scare her, she still wanted to keep her life and return to Yu Mu.
Perhaps he was overthinking it, or perhaps it was really the sound of the wind blowing. Without thinking much, Cai 'er turned around and walked out of the door, carefully closing it. Just as she closed the door and turned around, a black figure appeared behind her, causing Cai' er to fall to the ground in fright.
When she saw that it was a person, Cai 'er, who was still in shock, finally let out a sigh of relief.
It was a man, dressed in white clothes, but draped over with a black cloak, as if trying to conceal something. He even wore a loose hat to block Cai 'er's line of sight.
Cai 'er wanted to stand up, but the man's hand reached out to help her up.
For a second, Cai 'er was stunned. Seeing that kind-hearted hand reaching out to her, Cai' er raised her eyes and looked over. It was a man whose face couldn't be seen clearly.
"No, thank you!" Cai 'er said, standing up and sweeping the dust off her body.
Perhaps he realized the awkwardness, the man withdrew his hand and was about to leave.
Cai 'er couldn't help but call out to him,"Wait a minute, what were you doing behind me?"”
The man stopped in his tracks and did not speak. Then, he walked into the rain.
Seeing this situation, Cai 'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at that person's back.
"A girl shouldn't enter other people's houses.”A man's voice rang out in her ears, but she couldn't see him. This made Cai 'er jump in fright, and her surroundings suddenly became guarded. Cai' er, who had a guilty conscience, didn't want to admit it, and with a 'tsk' she ignored the pouring rain and quickly slipped away.
While the innkeeper was still sizing up the person at the counter, an ingot of gold was placed in front of the innkeeper. Instantly, the innkeeper's eyes lit up and he immediately handed over the ingot of gold with both hands. It was as if all businessmen were money-lovers.
"Prepare a room for me and a horse for me tomorrow!”The man's gloomy voice floated out from under the black hat.
"Alright, sir. I'll get someone to prepare it immediately!”The boss was a wealthy person. He did not care how suspicious this person's dressing was. As long as he had money, he would serve him well.
A waiter walked over and bowed to welcome him with a smile." Sir, please come upstairs!”
Just as the boss was counting the money on the abacus, Cai 'er ran in. Her clothes were almost completely wet, but it wasn't to the extent that water could be wrung out from them.
"Waiter, get me some hot water and send it to my room. Thank you!”Cai 'er called out, and ran upstairs. The boss helplessly looked at Cai' er's back and sighed, truly disrespectful!
The waiter led the man into a guest room, and after giving a few instructions, he turned around and went downstairs. During this time, he even met Cai 'er, who had even deliberately approached the waiter and greeted him with a smile. However, this frightened the waiter so much that he was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, causing Cai' er's nose to touch dust.
Cai 'er's room was right next to that man's room, but of course she didn't know about it.
The man sat down and slowly took off his hat…
The man was about twenty years old. He had a delicate face and his long black hair was tied up loosely. His ice-black eyes were calm, his nose bridge was high, and his lips were red. He looked gentle and refined, but he was really wild. His snow-white clothes were spotless, and his body smelled different from the smell of wood.
Soaking in the bathtub was really comfortable, so comfortable that Cai 'er fell asleep. In the end, she was still submerged in the water and choked on the water, causing her to wake up in an instant. She even splashed a few water droplets. It seemed that she was really frightened.
In Mu Yun Villa.
The disappearance of the young miss made the people in the manor panic.
The fine drizzle lingered endlessly.
Yu Feng walked in the corridor. His black clothes made him look a little cold. His deep black eyes emitted a coldness that kept people a thousand miles away. Pretending that he had no feelings, his heart had already begun to get impatient.
"Go and find her! This child is probably being willful again.”Mu Zheng's words kept ringing in Yu Feng's ears.
That girl had never been willing to give up. She had to make them feel uneasy, hoping that everyone would worry for her.
Suddenly, his footsteps stopped. Yu Feng punched a pillar at the side. He shouldn't be like this. He shouldn't let himself panic.
He shouldn't be agitated.
The night quieted down.
The rain also stopped.
Cai 'er stretched her back and pushed open the window. A gust of cold wind that belonged to the night after the rain blew in.
Cai 'er was leaning against the window, looking at the crowds of people coming and going downstairs. On the eaves on both sides of the road, rows of lanterns lit up the night market, as if one could touch these beautiful lanterns with one's hand.
It would be great if he was by her side in the bustling night scene.
On the other side of the room, in the cold room, he had just finished bathing and changed into a set of snow-white clothes. His collar was not properly adjusted, revealing his wild tanned skin. An inconspicuous golden cross-shaped key was worn around his neck, which he regarded as a treasure. It was a memory that he would never dare to touch in his life but would use his life to remember. It was an unforgettable memory.
How quiet could the night be? Perhaps it was because their hearts were too calm that the noise from the streets could not reach their ears. The two young men and women were at the window, trying to figure out their own small world, not understanding.
