Solitary pet

Chapter 14

In the study room, Wei Youguang and Shen Hao had a happy chat.Before going into business, he had also read the books of sages and sages, and with the experience of traveling all over the world over the years, it was easy to talk about the world.To his surprise, the nobleman's knowledge of economics is not only better than everyone he knows, but also his unique insights into current affairs are really admirable.

Seeing that the sun was about to set on the mountain, Wei Youguang intended to stay overnight, but as expected, Shen Hao refused.

Wei Youguang didn't force him to stay. A person like the nobleman who is extremely picky about tea sets must be even more picky about where he stays.

"After talking for so long, we have been bored in the room, let's go out to get some air."

After all, he took Shen Hao to the garden.

Now it is sunset, the breeze gently blows through the treetops, and the green leaves rustle.He Sheng was enjoying the shade under the tree, and Wei Lin was fiddling with colored ropes of different colors on the small wooden bench beside him.

Wei Lin muttered: "Don't you tie a tie? Recently, new styles are popular. I remember you have a bright yellow skirt tied with green ribbons. It must look good."

He Sheng waved his hand, today he was upset all afternoon because of Shen Hao's arrival, he finally took a cool breeze to refresh himself, don't do such a fuss.

"I'm clumsy and ugly, so it's better to let Cuiyu do it."

While fiddling, Wei Lin asked, "I'm going to visit Song Yao at Song's house in a few days. She and I have played together since we were young. She is very nice. Why don't you go with me? It's boring to stay at home every day. of."

He Sheng nodded, he hasn't been out for a stroll in Shenghu these days, so it's good to have a chance to make new friends.Where there is new, there is old. When I think of the old people in my hometown, I suddenly feel sad.

Since she came to Shenghu, she hasn't communicated with her family yet. The weather these days is changeable, sometimes exposed to the sun and sometimes cold, and she is most likely to get sick.

Thinking about it, the good mood of enjoying the cool is gone, and I feel anxious, wishing to communicate with my parents immediately.However, she was illiterate and her writing skills were limited, and she didn't know how to deliver the letter to her parents.

As soon as she was in a hurry, the sweet smile on her face disappeared, replaced by frowning brows and drooping eyes.

Wei Lin was so engrossed in playing the net, he didn't care about her mood changes at all.He Sheng leaned against the tree, watching the darkening twilight above the clouds for half an hour.

Halfway through the rope, Wei Lin didn't have enough rope, so the maids around him went out to play today.Wei Lin had no choice but to go back to the house to get the rope: "You wait for me here, I took the colored rope and finished the last half circle, and we will go have some snacks."

He Sheng let out a "hmm" and continued to lean against the big tree in a daze.

Not long after Wei Lin left, footsteps sounded behind him, He Sheng thought it was Wei Lin who had left and returned, and didn't care.

The half-dark night spread in the sky behind the tree, the moon quietly climbed up the branch, the glazed white light flowed slowly from the gaps in the leaves like flowing water, and sprinkled softly on the man's shoulder.

He was bathed in the brilliance of the new moon, his face was cold, his eyes were bright, and he looked motionlessly at the people enjoying the shade under the tree.

"Wei Lin?" Seeing that there was no movement behind him, He Sheng subconsciously called out.

Just when the wind blew, the corners of the man's crepe clothes were lifted, and the soft gauze brushed He Sheng's temples, and the man's deep and melodious voice came out.

"it's me."

He Sheng jumped up in shock, turned around and almost hit a tree, and Shen Hao looked at her expressionlessly, as if he was looking at something.

"What are you doing here alone?"

Before she could ask, he threw out the question.He Sheng subconsciously took several steps back, trying to draw a clear line with him.

How did he come here, my lord?
Shen Hao took a step forward, he needed to know more about the only woman he didn't faint.

Seeing him approaching, He Sheng was afraid of what he was going to do. After all, the hug on the boat left an indelible "shadow" on her. In desperation, she softly shouted: "Don't come over!"

Shen Hao stopped in his tracks, a trace of curiosity appeared on his fair and clean face.Why did she react like this when she met her old friend?
"I don't know the way. If it's convenient, can you show me the way?" He took a step back, collected his expression, deliberately moved away, and looked away.

Seeing his indifferent and repelling appearance thousands of miles away, He Sheng felt relieved a little, not wanting to tangle with him, and stretched out his finger to the north: "If you want to get out of the garden, follow the gravel road to the end and then turn left. The door is open."

Shen Hao didn't move when he heard the words, "I'm going to Mr. Wei's room."

He Sheng pointed to the other side: "Then you go that way."

Shen Hao looked in the direction she pointed, her fingertips were as clean and flawless as white jade in the night, and he was in a daze.His eyes drifted with the movement of her hand, and when the silence spread between the two of them, he finally spoke and uttered a few words coldly: "I can't remember the way, you take me there."

He Sheng wanted to refuse subconsciously, so he glanced at him quickly, and saw that he put on a high-ranking battle of "I won't leave unless you lead the way", hesitated for a few seconds, and took a step helplessly, without turning his head. Go back to the ground, for fear that he will get too close.

"Then I'll take you there."

It was less than a mile from the garden to the main house, but it was difficult to walk.Shen Hao's footsteps were extremely slow, and he followed He Sheng, staring at her back from a distance of one foot.

She always wore a veiled hat on the ship, always behind a layer of muslin, so she couldn't see clearly.Now that she was standing in front of her, her whole body was clearly exposed under his eyes, but he didn't know where to look.

The new leaves that fell from the camphor tree were spread on the road, and there was a creaking sound when they stepped on them. He Sheng turned around and saw that he had fallen a long way again. He was a little anxious, but he couldn't show it on his face: "Mr. Follow up."

She looked around, desperately hoping that one or two passing maids would appear to save her from the dire straits.

It's just that, at this time, the maids are all starting to prepare dinner, and they basically don't wander around the garden.It is estimated that there is no other choice except for her to lead the way to the end.

He Sheng shouted again: "Young Master Shen, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to see the road clearly when it gets darker."

There was no response from the people behind him, so He Sheng had no choice but to keep moving forward with a sullen head.

"Your name is Hesheng, right?" Shen Hao called her name.
