quadruple sleep

Chapter 407 Why do you think it is?
This year, there was a rare heavy rain during the late spring cold snap, which made the soil much looser. At that time, Nian Baixiao was competing in another city, but he called the cemetery as if he had telepathy. The cemetery informed him that Fang Sheng's tombstone was fine, but the heavy rain broke off the branches, and the sharp edges of the branches scratched the photo on the tombstone.

It is normal for portraits to be worn out, as they are exposed to the wind and rain outdoors. The people at the cemetery also told Nian Baixiao that it was nothing serious and that you couldn't see anything unless you looked closely.

When the three of them went to see Fang Sheng, they also paid attention to the condition of the portrait. After all, it was a porcelain portrait, so the scratches were not obvious. But Nian Baixiao had a mental block, and he felt that the two scratches, which were neither deep nor shallow, were like a fish bone stuck in his throat, which was uncomfortable and could not be spit out.

I plan to replace the monument.

Replacing the tombstone is not the end. Nian Baixiao plans to add the words "deceased wife" to the inscription, and it is obvious that he has made up his mind. Tonight is not a discussion, but a notification.

It sounds ridiculous, but it fits Nian Baixiao's reckless character.

But Nian Baixiao did not think this was reckless. He spoke sincerely, "I gave myself three years, but after three years, I still couldn't let her go. Every time I thought of her, I was very painful and sad. I want to give myself a name, and I also want to give our relationship a name."

Status means nothing to a deceased person, but to Nian Baixiao, his blood boiled when this thought came to his mind.

Nian Boyan didn't scold him for being ridiculous. He was silent for a long time before asking, "Do you really think that a marriage status can be given just by saying so? This is not a joke, and have the girl's parents agreed?"

Nian Baixiao and Nian Boyan did not get along well in the past. Nian Baixiao was always rebellious and Nian Boyan was strict, and the two often quarreled until their faces turned red and their necks became thick.

But not anymore.

I don’t know if it was because of the Nian family’s experience or Fang Sheng’s death.

Nian Baixiao was neither annoyed nor angry, and his attitude was always serious and sincere. "Brother, I'm not kidding. This is really a decision I made after careful consideration. I did this not because I felt guilty, but because I couldn't let her go. I have already sought the consent of Fang Sheng's parents."

The table fell into silence.

Hang Si's heart was in turmoil, and she subconsciously looked at Lu Nanshen. Although he did not look shocked, there was astonishment in his eyes. It was obvious that he was as unaware as she was.

Neither Lu Dongshen nor Lu Beichen expressed their opinions. This was a matter involving the Nian family, and no matter how good the relationship was, it was inconvenient to intervene.

But they are them, Hang Si is different.

She said, "Nian Baixiao, if Fang Sheng knew about this, she would definitely not want you to do this. You must always look forward."

"Why don't I take her with me and move forward?" Nian Baixiao said calmly, but his attitude was firm. "I have already made up my mind about this matter, so you don't need to persuade me."

Hang Si felt mixed emotions and couldn't tell what he felt.

If there is any objection, Hang Si would definitely want to object. Fang Sheng is her good friend, and so is Nian Baixiao. The dead are gone, and the living must move on. No matter how painful it is, there will always be a day to let go.

But it would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved.

I was moved by Nian Baixiao's deep affection, and also by the silence of everyone present. The silence represented that this matter was no joke in everyone's mind, they all cherished Fang Sheng and attached great importance to the relationship proposed by Nian Baixiao.

Nian Boyan said after a long while, "Since the other party's family agrees, and it is a well-thought-out decision on your part, then go ahead and do it. Your sister-in-law and I have no objection."

Su Ye smiled and said, "Our Bai Xiao has really grown up."

Nian Baixiao picked up the cup, looked at it carefully, his eyes slightly red, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, and thank you all for being my witness. I toast to you all!"
-
The Wangfu Guild Hall becomes more antique after nightfall, and those who are not aware of it may mistakenly think they have traveled through time.

The night is dyed with glazed tiles, and the gilded bronze beasts hanging from the eaves slowly exhale fragrance, and the air in the courtyard is filled with a faint floral scent. The sheep-horn palace lanterns also light up one by one, and the moon-like luster always makes people feel trance-like.

There is a pond in the courtyard. The four corners are decorated with white marble cranes holding gilded lotus candlesticks in their beaks, which are also shining. Fish swim leisurely in the pond, with large patches of ancient lilac above their heads. The purple stamens are blown into the water by the wind, and golden koi fish are playing among the purple stamens.

Hang Si placed a lantern in the pond, and the water rippled and the candlelight shone. She said, "It's not a festival, but I didn't expect to be able to play with lanterns."

Lu Nanshen stood beside her, not looking at the lanterns, but looking at her.

Her profile was illuminated by the candlelight from the gilded candlestick, her skin was as white as fat, her eyelashes were curved, and the light in her eyes was like hidden stars.

It was a rare gathering tonight, people were still chatting inside, and children were chirping in the garden. He took her out to visit the palace, where it was quiet and convenient for talking.

After seeing her finish releasing the lanterns, Lu Nanshen took her hand.

Hang Si didn't think much about it. After interlocking their fingers, she wanted to pull him forward, but he pulled her back with a slight force.

Hang Si fell into his arms and was hugged tightly by him. His mouth was dry for a moment, and he glanced towards the main hall. "In public..."

Lu Nanshen lowered his eyes and looked at her, not teasing her as usual.

Seeing that he seemed serious, Hang Si was curious, "What's the matter?"

Lu Nan nodded deeply.

Hang Si gave up the idea of ​​going around to the other side of the pond to release the lanterns, "Then you say."

When Lu Nanshen stared at her, his eyes were very deep. Hang Si saw it, and an indescribable throbbing spread quietly in the night, and entered his heart and lungs along with the fragrance of flowers.

He said, "Hanghang, there is a reason why I must have you participate in this performance."

Hang Si knew.

She glanced once more at the main hall.

"It's not as simple as eating, but I think you will understand the meaning of tonight." Lu Nanshen said softly.

Hang Si raised her eyes and saw his burning gaze. The throbbing that had just spread was rampant. How could she not know? Especially since the two brothers of the Lu family had already made it so obvious in their words.

She said, "Nan Shen, some things should just be left to nature."

It's not that she doesn't like him, nor does she not want to grow old with him, but she is extremely afraid that he will propose to her in public. This kind of "in public" is not a surprise to her, but a shock.

Lu Nanshen slightly retracted his arm, and she leaned forward. He called her name, "Hang Si", including her full name.

The gesture was ambiguous, but the words were formal.

"I want to propose to you, I really want to." Lu Nanshen emphasized, "Before or after the performance is the best time, why do you think I haven't taken action?"

Hang Si felt that his eyes were too serious and she became nervous for a moment. She didn't answer, but she felt that Lu Nanshen didn't want her answer.

Sure enough, Lu Nanshen continued to ask, "I avoided the performance venue, left the sight of my relatives and friends, and dragged you here. Why do you think that was?"
