Peach Blossom Land On Longyin Island Chapter 57
byhi Xiaomei
Dinner was cooked late, An’s father and An’s mother cooked a very sumptuous table of dishes. After eating in a lively manner, the crescent moon had already risen into the sky.An Xiaoyu wanted to help clean up the dishes, but An’s mother kicked her out: “Go and take a walk with Ranran, and come back in half an hour to drink medicine and sleep.”
So, An Ran took An Xiaoyu and An Susu for a walk aimlessly in the village, chasing An Xiaojin, the three of them and the wolf.The mountain night was quiet, with stars shining brightly, insects chirping one after another, and the sound of waves continuing. The two of them walked slowly, and An Susu’s laughter and shouts in front of them gradually faded away as they chased An Xiaojin.
When they reached the road in the field, An Ran said: “Your name is Lu Qian?”
An Xiaoyu nodded.
After a while, Anle asked again: “How old are you?”
“Twenty.” An Xiaoyu spoke.
“Have you celebrated your twentieth birthday?”
“Not yet.”
“Oh, that should be counted as nineteen.” An Ran said.
“We count it as twenty after the Chinese New Year.” An Xiaoyu said.
“When is your birthday?” An Ran asked again.
“The tenth day of August.”
“How much is it today?”
“March twenty.”
“That’s still early.”
An Xiaoyu nodded but said nothing.
So An Ran continued: “The prince’s birthday must be very grand.” The tone of his words did not sound like a question, but more like talking to himself.
An Xiaoyu said nothing again.
An Ran looked at the ground, and after a while, he said again: “Being a prince is very stressful?”
After waiting for a moment, An Xiaoyu said calmly: “It’s okay.”
An Ran nodded slightly.
The two walked silently along the main road beside the fields and turned into a path between the fields.
The staggered and staggered vegetables on both sides of the path vaguely revealed their shapes under the night stars, and the dark leaves swayed slightly in the mountain breeze.
An Xiaoyu stopped and saw the red pepper leaking from under the swaying leaves, and said, “Are there peppers in the village?”
An Ran also stopped, followed An Xiaoyu’s gaze, said “hmm” and said, “I bought a lot of seeds last year and brought them back.”
An Xiaoyu nodded and looked at the red peppers intently. After looking at it for a while, he took another step and whispered as if in a whisper: “Then we can make spicy soup hot pot.”
After being silent for a while, An Ran suddenly said: “Many princes in history did not survive to succeed to the throne.”
An Xiaoyu nodded and didn’t answer.
An Ran asked again: “Why did you fall into the sea?”
“There was a storm and the boat capsized.” An Xiaoyu replied.
“Aren’t you fighting Japanese pirates?”
An Xiaoyu continued: “We encountered a storm when we went to fight the Japanese pirates.”
“Oh…that’s really unlucky.”
“Yes, it’s really unlucky.” An Xiaoyu murmured, “But it’s okay.”
“Almost dead, can you call it ‘fine’?” An Ran blanked as silently as An Xiaoyu.
An Xiaoyu suddenly smiled, looking at the continuous Maomao Mountains in front of him, and said, “Fortunately, we floated here.”
An Ran suddenly stopped and looked down at the ground. After a while, he said in a very low voice: “If you can’t do it anymore, you can come back.” After a pause, he added: “Living is the most important thing.”
An Xiaoyu looked sideways at An Ran for a while and then said, “Okay.”
An imperceptible sound of exhalation disappeared in the silent night. An Lecai took out the piccolo from his collar, handed it to An Xiaoyu, and said, “This is called the whale whistle, here it is for you.”
An Xiaoyu didn’t answer and looked at An Ran silently.
An Ran said again: “As a courtesy, you gave me the jade pendant.” An Xiaoyu still didn’t move.
An Ran looked up at Xiaoyu: “Without it, you can’t come back.”
An Xiaoyu looked directly into An Ran’s eyes and said, “Why didn’t you marry Xiaomei?”
What a beautiful thing to mention.An Ran glared at An Xiaoyu resentfully.
An Xiaoyu’s face froze, and he immediately said: “Hug–” Before he could say the word apology, An Ran puffed up his cheeks and stuffed the whale whistle into An Xiaoyu’s chest, and angrily interrupted him: “He ran away! He left without saying goodbye, left a letter and ran away!”
An Xiaoyu subconsciously caught the whale whistle, his face dull and confused, showing that he was still digesting An Ran’s words. After a while, he murmured: “So, he…abandoned you.”
Sometimes, An Ran couldn’t understand how he could fall in love with such a piece of wood.An Ran was full of anger and shouted at the two black dots in the distance: “An Xiaojin! An Susu! Go home!”
“Go to bed immediately after drinking. Don’t think about anything. It’s most taboo to think too much before going to bed.” An’s mother handed the prepared medicinal soup to An Xiaoyu. While watching An Xiaoyu finish the drink, she told the two of them: “Sleep well tonight, do you hear me, Ran Ran?”
An Ran was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, minding his own anger. When he heard this, he said angrily: “Let him go home and sleep by himself.”
He was obviously speaking out of anger, but when he saw An’s mother, she thought for a moment: “Well… that’s true, it’s indeed better to sleep in separate beds…”
An Ran’s cheeks were bulging, and she stared at An’s mother with wide eyes, like an angry dog.
An’s mother laughed suddenly and said, “But it’s better to have a doctor to keep an eye on it. However, thanks for your hard work, I’ll keep an eye on the little fish tonight.”
“Stop talking! Go to sleep!” Along with An Ran’s angry voice, a thin quilt fell from the sky and fell rapidly, perfectly covering An Xiaoyu’s head and sealing An Xiaoyu’s moving lips.At the same time, An Ran turned around and blew out the candle on the bedside. The starlight outside the room was tightly blocked by the heavy linen curtains. In an instant, the room fell into deep darkness.
An Ran climbed onto the bed gropingly and got under the quilt.There was a slight rustling sound, and An Xiaoyu emerged from the quilt.
After a long moment of silence, An Xiaoyu finally spoke: “Sorry, I don’t know-”
“Do you have any brains?!” Before An Xiaoyu could finish his apology, Anle couldn’t bear it any longer. He immediately sat up and shouted angrily into the darkness, “How did you become the prince with your intelligence?! Will the country not perish in your hands?”
It seemed that he was frightened. After a while, An Xiaoyu slowly sat up and explained seriously: “I’m not stupid. I’ve learned everything quickly since I was a child. Every teacher praises me for being smart. Grandpa Huang said that I can definitely lead the Kingdom of Jin to a prosperous age. I was made the crown prince because when I was born, the generals were auspicious. Si Tianjian said that I have the qualities of an emperor…”
He said the feeling of a punch hitting cotton was so obvious. Was this man pretending not to understand on purpose?!An Ran was furious.
Mom, I’m afraid my son won’t be able to follow the doctor’s advice!
Before An Xiaoyu could finish speaking, An Ran interrupted angrily: “Are you married?”
An Xiaoyu paused for a while, then hesitantly said: “Are you…?”
“It doesn’t count!”
“Oh…that’s not the case.”
“Are you engaged?”
“No.” An Xiaoyu answered quickly this time.
An Ran lost some of her anger and said, “Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No.” The answer was still simple.
An Ran’s anger subsided by half, and after a while, he muttered and asked, “Is there anyone you like?”
There was silence.
An Ran’s heart also sank in silence.At this moment, An Xiaoyu said in a very low voice: “No.”
“Huh—” The sinking heart returned to where it should be. An Ran faked a cough and said seriously: “Then can you feel aggrieved?”
“What?” An Xiaoyu asked in confusion.
“That is to say…” An Ran moved her body and touched An Xiaoyu in the darkness. First she touched An Xiaoyu’s head, then slid down to her cheek, and finally, her thumb stopped at the corner of her mouth.
“That is to say, please bear with me.
“Because…I can’t help it anymore.”
When An Xiaoyu understood that the cool and soft touch on his lips came from the other person’s lips, the lack of oxygen in the brain caused by the too fast heartbeat rate had already made him lose the ability to think and react further.Even when the untouched brief kiss disappeared, he was still half-dumb and unresponsive.
“If you dare to vomit, I’ll stew you.”An Ran lowered her head and threatened in a low voice, but her voice was soft and unthreatening.
It seemed like a long time passed, but it seemed like it was only a moment. An Xiaoyu said with a little trembling, “An, An Ran…” but he just called out and made no other sound.
Spring is the breeding season for animals. Nightingales courting their matings sing loudly day and night, and their songs are gentle and loud.
“Why don’t you speak?”The thin cotton quilt was almost pulled out of the hole. After a long time, An Ran couldn’t stand the silence and asked weakly.
“You…didn’t ask me to endure it…”
“…”
“Okay, there’s no need to endure it now.”An Ran’s heart was pounding, but she tried her best to keep her tone calm.
After a moment, An Xiaoyu asked in a low voice: “Can I reciprocate as a courtesy?”
The movement of the body breaks the still air, and the movement of air creates air currents.
The essence of wind is airflow, which is a phenomenon caused by air movement.
What came first than An Xiaoyu’s kiss was the slight wind.
The wind blew a hole in the thick black, and the two students who were in love for the first time were groping and learning to kiss in the night. The silence amplified the sounds of breathing and sucking.
“Okay,” An Ran pushed An Xiaoyu’s chest slightly, trying his best to calm down his slightly rapid breathing. After a moment, he whispered: “Mom said, you need to sleep.”
In the darkness, An Xiaoyu’s eyes shimmered with darkness, and his voice sounded obviously aggrieved: “You started it first.”
“…Then you…do this…” An Ran kept rubbing her overheated earlobes, tilted her head, and said vaguely, “Do you like me?” As soon as the words came out, not only did the temperature of his ears get higher, An Ran felt that his face was also so hot that it was about to burn. Fortunately, it was dark and he couldn’t see clearly. If it were during the day, he would immediately dig a hole and hide in there to cool down.
No reply was heard.
An Ran was a little annoyed and raised her voice: “What about you?Do you like it?Can you give me a sweet word?”
“Well…” An Xiaoyu’s voice seemed a little overwhelmed and confused, and he asked hesitantly: “You guys…can you kiss me even if you don’t like it?”
I really want to open this mermaid’s head and see what’s inside!
Can’t you just say you like it directly?!
An Ran felt that sooner or later, she would be made sick by this mermaid.
“Okay!Can!An Ran became angry and shouted, “We can kiss even if we don’t like it!”Brothers can kiss too!After shouting, he lay down and pulled the quilt to cover his head.
An Ran lay smothered in the quilt and listened to the noise outside.
There was no movement for a while, and most of the heat on An Ran’s face had dissipated, and she was wondering what An Xiaoyu meant.I thought about it over and over again, but I fainted from thinking about it.
Could it be that he misunderstood?Could it be that An Xiaoyu didn’t kiss him because he liked her?
No!They have all done this, and he must find out tonight!
Just when An Ran was about to lift the quilt to ask clearly, the quilt was lifted from the outside first.An Xiaoyu slowly lay down next to An Ran, and the tip of his nose brushed against An Ran’s ear.
An Xiaoyu shouted in a low voice: “Ranran.”
The breath passed over the tip of An Ran’s ears and spread throughout An Ran’s body like an electric current. An Ran’s body suddenly trembled.
“Like it.An Xiaoyu whispered in his ear again, “I like it very much.”I like you so much that I want to despicably destroy your anchor point, and I like you so much that I want to take you away even if I make you angry.Enron, can I be your anchor?I will do better than Xiaomei.”
“…” An Ran didn’t know whether to call An Xiaoyu stupid or feel happy that he was not wishful thinking. In the end, he chose to kiss him again and said with a smile:
“Hi, Xiaomei, tell me, how can there be such a stupid mermaid like you in the world?”
As the saying goes, when the spring breeze brings joy to the horse’s hoofs, people feel refreshed when happy events occur.An Ran, who had broken people up with just one kiss, felt proud of the spring breeze and felt refreshed. She got up energetically at dawn the next morning, humming a song and drying medicinal herbs in the yard.
“Why are you so happy today?Mother An asked with a smile on her face.
“Uh-huh.” An Ran didn’t open her mouth, but the humming sound coming from her throat took eighteen turns.
“Sister-in-law is back, of course my brother is happy.An Susu said, standing on tiptoes, she grabbed a handful of Coptis chinensis from the dustpan that was taller than her, touched it and smelled it, and said, “Mother, don’t let this dry in the sun anymore.””
An’s mother walked over and touched it, nodded and said, “Well, that’s all.”After that, he took the round dustpan off the shelf and entered the room where the medicinal materials were stored.
“Brother~” An Susu jumped up to An Ran, raised her head and asked, “Sister-in-law is leaving tomorrow, what will my brother do?”
An Ran: “Huh?”
An Susu added: “My sister-in-law is going home, and my brother doesn’t want to go to the capital. So isn’t my brother going to be separated from my sister-in-law again?””Hmm…” He kissed her on impulse, but he hadn’t considered the issue of long-distance relationship yet.
An Ran was silent for a while, then shook his head, as if to shake off this trouble, and said in an indifferent tone: “It doesn’t matter where he is, anyway, I am here to accompany my parents.”
“What about sister-in-law?”An Susu asked with his eyes wide open.
“What to do?He has a big family.”
“But mother said that my sister-in-law is not having a good life outside.My mother said that my sister-in-law’s heart, spleen, and liver were all damaged. She was overworked and worried about her spleen. She was angry and depressed, and her liver qi could not be released. She was restless, and her yin and blood could not be metabolized.My sister-in-law must not be happy outside.”
An Ran lowered his head and looked at An Susu blankly.
An Susu sniffed, took her brother’s hand, and said, “Brother, go and accompany your sister-in-law. Susu won’t stop me.”
“Susu…”
“Su Su knows that her brother will not abandon Su Su.Brother, go and play. Susu will take good care of your parents.”
“Susu…” An Ran thought that she was not a crybaby, but since arriving here, she always felt that her nose was sore and her eyes were sore.
An’s mother didn’t know when she came to the two of them, came to An Ran, gently touched An Ran’s cheek, and said softly: “Remember to come back to see your parents often.When he saw Xiao Shun, he told him that his aunt had never blamed him and that she was also waiting for him to come back.”
An Ran shouted in a daze: “Mother…”
An’s father and An Xiaoyu also came over. An’s father had a loving smile on his face, but his eyes were full of reluctance: “It’s time to accompany Xiaoyu to fulfill his filial piety.My parents are in good health, so there is no need to worry about us.”
Tears almost fell, An Ran said: “Dad… I can’t bear to leave you.”
An Xiaoyu walked lightly to An Ran, looked at An Ran tenderly, and said, “If you want to come back, I will accompany you back.After a pause, he added, “I also want to take you to meet your grandmother.””
