Chapter 56: Under the Blossoms and by the Moonlight

  Xia Fei was originally in a daze, his line of sight not focused, and his mind rarely empty. But perhaps due to the tacit understanding that had been built up over time through struggle, under the scorching gaze, he very naturally shifted his gaze over.

  Zhan Zhan made a face and gestured for Xia Fei to hurry up and go back upstairs.

  Xia Fei coldly ridiculed, her hands clasped together like an old monk entering meditation. When called, she came; when waved away, she left - she treated him as a younger brother. Wasn't one of his life's missions to exist in opposition to her?

  You're so shameless! Zhan Yu was grinding his teeth in anger, wishing he could jump out and drag him away to leave some space for the two of them, but in front of Xia Zhi, he also had to be mindful of his own glorious image.

  Ask the son if he wants to go or not, the son doesn't want to go so I have no choice but to go myself.

  "Hey brother Xia Zhi, why don't we go take a look at the backyard?" Zhan Zhu Zhu stood up and tried to pull Xia Zhi away.

  Xia gave a mysterious and inexplicable glance at the two people who had become strange again, their expressions very clear. "This place is pretty good!"

  Although the house is in a scenic area, the garden is not small, but compared to Zhang Jia's real mountain house, this one is obviously more comfortable, just like being in a warm place, sitting and daydreaming is also very relaxing.

  "It's getting better and better!" War fought back with his mouth, but couldn't persuade him, so he took action instead. If you can't pull it off, eating some tofu is also a good idea!

  Xia got up helplessly and looked at Xia Feihan, wanting to invite him together: "Feihan, shall we go take a look?"

  Before Xia Fei Han could speak, Zhan Zhu Zhu chimed in from the side: "Ahh, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside. Brother Fei Han is wearing so little and has such good skin, it's better to stay here. The scenery is about the same, and we have mosquito coils here, which suits you best. With the smoke swirling around, do you feel like you're ascending to heaven?"

  There are many problems with this. Xia Zhi took a look at her own outfit, which was similar to Xia Fei Han's short t-shirt and shorts, shouldn't her skin be even more delicate? Moreover, isn't the scenery behind them better?

  This girl, isn't she just thinking of being alone with him? Everyone knows what's on Sima Zhao's mind, why is he still pretending to be innocent and not even blushing?

  "Hmm, the back is more suitable for you. Even ghosts would scream when they see you." Xia Fei Han changed his silence from earlier and countered with War Doudou. He wouldn't go even if invited, let alone when she said it like that, he couldn't bear to lose face and follow her around like a lackey.

  "Pfft! I'm a man of integrity with clean sleeves, what's there to be afraid of?" Warmed up and burst into coarse language.

  "Yeah, looks like Zhong Kui and functions similarly too." Xia Fei Han leisurely dug into the watermelon to eat, but the words that came out weren't sweet at all.

  "Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" Zhang Daoling was so angry that he jumped up: "You little white face! You'd better be careful, or tomorrow morning when I see you, your face will be dark and dull, with sunken eyes, and you'll be dead from exhaustion, withered away to nothing!"

  Pfft! Xia Fei Han spat out a mouthful of watermelon. The three words "little white face" had provoked him, but he could tolerate it. However, the nonsense that followed, he couldn't ignore, especially not the part about being weak in the kidneys and losing his vitality to the point of death?

  Sensitive words! How can she say it so boldly?

  How could he be so weak and frail? He was still fully armed and ready for action this afternoon!

  Will he exhaust himself to death? Come and try! Let's see how far she can hold on under his state of exhaustion!

  Xia Nian's habitual way of treating Zhan Yu as a rival made him subconsciously ignore the fact that the female lead was a "female ghost" comrade, and instead replaced her with himself. As soon as he did, all sorts of R-rated scenes and inner movements from before began to heat up again...

  Whoa! He suddenly felt his mind and body starting to lose control again, and he quickly snapped back to reality. What's going on? Lately, there have been more instances of him losing himself.

  Xia Zhiyi saw Xia Feihan's face change, and immediately came out to mediate again. He comforted Xia Feihan with his eyes while opening the door: "Alright, alright, just take a look. Feihan, you should rest early..."

  The battle was not yet over, but seeing Xia Fei's gloomy face made her feel good. Humph! Who dared to mock her? Let him know her strength! Originally, she still wanted to continue the fight and pursue the victory, but the male god had already agreed to her date invitation, so of course, the main event was more important.

  Xia ate a big mouthful of watermelon to vent her anger, while Shuai started his own romantic date under the moonlight.

  The backyard is adjacent to the flower bed and orchard, with a slightly wider view and more natural scenery. The only drawback is that small animals also like this spacious and natural environment, and didn't come over just now because of taking care of Xia Liqiu.

  A bright moon hangs in the sky, and the thirteenth or fourteenth full moon is already full. The bright hazy moonlight casts a thin layer of gauze over the lush green mountains.

  The backyard is quiet, with no one around, only the birds chirping and insects buzzing, blending with the rustling of the wind blowing through the leaves, playing a symphony that belongs to nature.

  Xia Zhi and Zhan Zhu sat shoulder to shoulder on the swing in the backyard, even Zhan Zhu, who was usually talkative, didn't say a word.

  It's not that she appreciates such a beautiful scenery and is indulged in such an enchanting atmosphere, but rather she is working hard to do a good job in the preliminary work.

  Little hands stretched out from all sides, holding perfume, to ensure that no annoying mosquitoes would come over and disturb the atmosphere. In case they get too emotional and can't help but steal a kiss, a mosquito buzzing in their ears applauding would be quite embarrassing.

  Her movements were even more discreet, but the scent of perfume couldn't be hidden. Xia Zhi smiled lightly and pretended to know nothing, letting her quietly bustle about for a while.

  It's done! The fight was satisfying, and I quietly put the perfume bottle by my feet. This is when I happily started my own goal. I hooked my arm around Xia Zhi's (this was the limit that Brother Xia Zhi agreed to), and slightly leaned my head in a bit, but not all at once.

  "Hey, Xia Zhige, are you used to coming to my place yet?" Zhan Zhan's opening line was quite unromantic. No way, from the bottom of her heart, she was still a rough person. Besides, she couldn't say something like "The moon is so round tonight?"

  "It's all right, I've troubled Uncle and Auntie." Zhanguo and Jiang Xinyi were already quite busy, people who usually couldn't even take care of their own daughter, today they had been busy for the three of them.

  "Heh heh, they're also happy. Isn't it right that the son-in-law is busy running around? Waruwaru is very unaware of his own YY. "In the future, let's just build a small building next to the flower bed, huh, two floors will be enough, and on the first floor, we'll make a big music room facing the flower bed, with floor-to-ceiling windows... No, that won't do, let's build a pavilion instead, put the piano in it, and on both sides, add some white gauze or something, isn't that more atmospheric?"

  Zhan Zhan whispered softly while leaning her head on Xia Zhi's shoulder.

  At first, Xia Zhi didn't mind, in such a relaxing environment, with someone who made him feel so relaxed by his side, he also felt a bit empty. In his mind, he imagined himself playing the pipa in the center of the flower garden, looking around, seeing all the flowers blooming and fragrant, the air brought by the gentle breeze was also filled with fragrance, and he became a little intoxicated... But wait, what was she thinking?

  Xia Zhi stroked her hair with his hand and gently patted her head, stopping her unrealistic fantasy: "Thinking too far ahead?"

  "After all, life should have some ideals." Zhan Zhu Zhu didn't feel ashamed at all, but was quite happy instead - Xia Zhige hadn't pushed her away. "My ideal is to be in this mountainous and watery place with flowers and grasses, where I can lean against you like this every day."

  This sentence is very true, it's her current mood, so the tone is very casual and not as serious as usual, which makes people laugh.

  Being loved is happiness. When the words fell into Xia Zhi's ears, for some reason, his heart felt as if it had been illuminated by moonlight, softening a little. He smiled lightly and rubbed Xia Zhi's short hair again, rarely not correcting her this time.

  Although I know it's a mistake, but if it's a beautiful and tolerable small mistake, why be so serious about it?

  Moreover, he didn't want to shatter her beautiful dream at this moment. Anyway, she also knew what was on her mind, did she? Why bother making it clear?

  "Xia Zhige, what is your dream?" Zhan Zhu Zhu looked up at Xia Zhi's handsome profile.

  "Hmm?" Xia Zhi slightly lowered his head due to this question, their gazes met.

  Hazy produces beauty, atmosphere produces beauty. The meaning of beauty lies in the space of imagination.

  The warrior under the moonlight, softened and gentle, with bright big eyes like stars in the night sky that can rival the brightness of the moon, attracting his gaze, making him unable to look away.

  Summer under the moonlight, beautiful and handsome, with a smiling face like a gentle breeze blowing over her skin, softly caressing her skin, making her drunk.

  Xia Zhi felt that the sound of her heartbeat was a bit loud. There was a vague idea... The atmosphere made people want to commit a crime...

  He knew it wasn't quite right to continue like this, but he couldn't bear to disturb the atmosphere. How many times has this happened recently?

  A faint, weak light slowly rose from the grass and floated upwards, swaying gently in the breeze. In the not-so-dark night sky, a small firefly emitted a faint glow, like a tiny elf carrying a lantern, or like a scattering of stars descending upon the flowerbed.

  It's beautiful.

  Xia Zhi felt that her body temperature seemed to have risen, the corners of her mouth were a little dry, and she couldn't help but lightly moisten her lips with water, restraining some uncontrollable thoughts.

  The night is beautiful, although it's too dangerous, there are always people who stay up all night with dark circles under their eyes.

  Love is too beautiful, even if it's dangerous, I'd pay with everything and cry for a thousand years.

  Pain is beautiful, even if it's humble, I want to taste the flavor of being crushed to dust.

  You're so beautiful, even if you don't say a word, I want to use stone piles to isolate the world.

  My darling, who will monopolize your beauty from now on?

  Xia Zhi felt a little melancholy.

  Zhan Zhan felt a bit of soreness in her neck. She didn't dare to put all the weight on Xia Zhi's shoulders just now, so she was relying solely on her own strength to maintain this awkward and unbalanced posture. She really wanted to adjust herself, but Xia Zhi's eyes were too gentle and his expression was too captivating, she was afraid that if she moved, this fleeting feeling would quietly slip away.

  Xia looked at her brother with great concentration, a rare sight that made her feel extremely happy. Even if she woke up with a stiff neck tomorrow, she wouldn't give up today.

  She is also looking forward to the next step.

  Xia Zhi suddenly smiled brightly, and the moonlight became even more enchanting.

  Zhan Zhan was infatuated, her eyes blurred for a moment, and she saw Xia Zhi's hand rubbing his own head, then gently massaging his own messy hair, pampering but not affectionate.

  The war is over, and I am left with a sense of emptiness and loss.

  "Look, fireflies." Xia Zhi shifted her attention, her large palm stroking the head of Zhan Zhu Zhu, guiding her to look towards the flowerbed outside. As a child growing up in the city, Xia Zhi's understanding of fireflies was almost limited to what she had read in textbooks.

  I've been watching them since I was a kid, and it's not very exciting if nothing new happens. But seeing Xia Zhi so interested, I perked up: "Xia Zhi gege, want me to catch one for you to see?"

  Xia pressed her head gently and scolded, "Silly girl, fireflies only live for a few days, right? Catching them isn't too cruel, is it?"

  She lightly stuck out her tongue, she didn't have Xia Zhi's compassionate heart like a Bodhisattva, she wouldn't abuse small animals, but to elevate it to the level of a small bug or an ant, that seemed a bit too high for her.

  "Summer is calling, brother, they are welcoming you!" Warmed up and flattered: "Look at them, one moment they're in a figure-eight shape, the next they're circling around..."

  Nonsense, keep talking nonsense. Xia Zhi smiled and looked at Zhang Doudou, someone who was still unaware that they were flattering themselves: "Can you see the trajectory of their flight from there? And, flying in a figure-eight pattern and circling around, it seems like they're saying something about bees collecting nectar?"

  "Huh? Is that so? Two kinds of winged insects, she can't quite recall. Xia Zhiyi doesn't have the nerve to say "sorry", so Xia Deyi says with a smile: "Really? Haha! I've learned something new again! But really, it's rare to see such a large group."

  Zhan Zhan was in high spirits and didn't care about her off-key voice, so she started humming: "Fireflies, fireflies, flying slowly, summer night, summer night, gentle breeze..." She stopped suddenly and had an epiphany: "Xia Zhi Gege, what do you think of the name 'Summer Night'? Isn't it cool?" It's very suitable for her and Xia Zhi Gege's future child, a unisex name.

  "Hmm, might as well keep it, then in the future when giving gifts to cousins' kids, just give them a name." Xia Zhi naturally saw through Zhang Doudou's little trick and deliberately played along.

  "Hmm, no energy. Warmed up and lowered his head, rubbed against Xia Zhi's body, found a more comfortable posture, and continued to hum: 'Fireflies, fireflies, slow flight, my heart is still chasing, brother's heart doesn't know what to do, only I am working hard to follow...'"

  She sang so pitifully. Xia Zhiqian smiled and reached out to touch her head, but the angle was a bit off, so he just pinched her little nose instead. It wasn't until then that he realized she seemed to have taken advantage of him today, not only hugging his left arm but also almost occupying his entire shoulder, her small body pressed tightly against his.

  He and Xia Fei Han are twins. It is said that twins have a special connection, and they just so happen to be one of them.

  Xia Fei Han had experienced it before, and Xia Zhi was also a bit affected at this moment. However, Xia Fei Han was like a flame under the towering ice mountain, instantly ignited and melted by high temperatures, while he was like the vast ocean, with tiny waves rising and ripples spreading in his heart.

  He felt it was a bit inappropriate, the tactile sensation from his arm made him curious and yearn for more, but this wasn't right.

  Xia Zhi coughed and covered up his panic, then pretended to casually get up and take a look at the fireflies. Although he had been refusing War War, could he really bear to see her sad? He couldn't return the same feelings, it was already unbearable for him, how could he rub salt in the wound. So his approach had always been very gentle, as if apologizing to War War.

  He often told her that it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one, and that messy things should be cut off quickly, or else they'll get deeper and more entangled. But he really couldn't bring himself to cut her off, and instead was willing to go to great lengths to untangle the knots in their complicated relationship.

  "Oh no!" Xia Zhi suddenly lost her balance and fell off the swing, her earlier stiff neck now spreading to her waist, back, and legs. Her center of gravity shifted and she tumbled down in a very ungraceful manner.

  "Ah!" Xia Zhi was startled and quickly helped her up, obviously concerned but couldn't help smiling: "Are you okay?"

  "Oh, it hurts so much! It's so numb!" Zhan Zhu stretched out her hand to stop Xia Zhi's help. This injury was not external, but internal, and she needed to slowly digest it herself.

  "Let you sit properly," Xia Zhi said with a good air and a smile, she had just curled up her feet and was almost half-lying on herself. Eating tofu comes at a cost.

  The ground was all lawn, he wasn't worried that a height of fifty or sixty centimeters would hurt her.

  "Summer brother..." Warmed up his face, pitifully, pretending.

  "Idiot." Xia Zhi laughed and scolded: "Where?"

  "Neck, waist, and legs." Zhang Dandan didn't mince words, and even thought to herself that if she said "chest", wouldn't it be a bit too fake? Who gets chest pain anyway?

  Xia glanced at her smooth and shiny little legs, but still put his hand on the back of her neck, gently kneading and massaging: "Is it here? Is it better?"

  For Zhàn Yuè, Xia Zhi Na is a spiritual elixir that can cure all poisons. Even if her body doesn't work, her heart feels very useful. The force transmitted through the clothes on her fingertips makes Zhàn Yuè drunk, and she really wants to close her eyes and enjoy it thoroughly.

  "Oh no, I've been bitten by a bug!" Zhan was sitting on the grass at this moment, and the dim light of the lamp couldn't see where the little bugs were going, only feeling a sudden pain on his feet.

  "Shall we go back first?" Xia Zhi also couldn't see very clearly.

  "I won't go..." Warmed by Xia Zhi's lowered head, a hint of a triumphant smile appeared.

  Xia let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly. Although it was possible that the war was still pretending, what if it was real?

  He always couldn't bear to be ruthless to her, and fell down in this one-in-a-thousand "what if".

  Waist princess hug, 90 jin of war dumplings is not too heavy weight, Xia Zhi easily. Lowering his head to look at the little girl in his arms who looked like a cat that had stolen fish, Xia Zhi teased her: "Doesn't it hurt now? Get down yourself?"

  "No!" Waru hastily replied, her language lacking persuasive power, and directly wrapped both hands around Xia Zhi's neck. If necessary, her feet could also be used as a waterweed entanglement.

  "Hey!" Xia Zhi said helplessly: "Get off at the front yard and walk by yourself, it's not good if Uncle and Aunt see you."

  At their age, boys and girls who are in love still need to be careful about what their parents think, let alone these two teenagers, not to mention that they don't even qualify as an early romance...

  "Oh," said Zhan Zhuang honestly, "one is that I know this is almost Xia Zhi's limit, and two is that I really don't dare let Dad and Mom see it, otherwise there will be another lesson." "Then why don't we go for a walk around the flower garden before going back?" It's hard to bear leaving this embrace.

  "Do you think I'm a porter? Holding this little pig is exhausting, okay?" Xia Zhi's face was full of indulgence, but he still refused.

  "Holding is no use, can carry on back, Pigsy carrying his wife?" Zhenzhen burst out laughing, showing a mouthful of big white teeth.

  "You're just like Zhu Bajie," Xia Zhi glared at her with a bad temper: "It's almost time, go back to wash and sleep!"

  "Then why don't you slow down?"

  "No way, I'm exhausted."

  "Take a break?"

  “……”

  Digression

  Actually, I really wanted to let YuYu and FeiHan work together under the blossoming flowers, but unfortunately, when two people are together, they can only be in a messy situation... This doesn't match the pure style of the fan!
