spring flowers

Chapter 14
Meilin walked to the window.

Murong Jinghe had an impatient look on his face, and said angrily, "Come into the room, why are you standing there talking?"

For some reason, Meilin felt that his appearance was very pleasing to the eye, and immediately walked along the wall to the door of the main room without a temper, and then pushed the door open to enter.There is a heavy curtain between the inside and the outside, and this curtain is hung whenever she is not around, so that he can see farther at a glance.

When Mei Lin walked in, Murong Jinghe had already turned his head, watching her approaching intently.His handsome eyes were piercing, shining with a scorching temperature.

Mei Lin felt uneasy when she saw her, and she didn't even know how to move her hands and feet.After finally reaching the edge of the Kang, she sat down against the edge of the Kang, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you angry?" Murong Jinghe asked, his tone was very gentle, almost gentle.

Wenrou... Meilin shuddered in her heart, thinking that she must have gone out of her mind to put Wenrou on this man.It's not that he didn't treat her tenderly in his memory, but it was just a show for Makino Luomei, and there is no need for it now.

"Hey, why are you in a daze, don't you really want to marry that smelly villager?"

Mei Lin was so irritated by these words, she raised her head suddenly, and saw Murong Jing and her smiling face, that smile was clearly full of mockery, there was no trace of tenderness.Feeling inexplicably lost in her heart, she just smiled and said, "Didn't I push it away..."

After a pause, thinking about it carefully, I really thought it was a bit funny, and it didn't make sense for me to be angry about it, so I said again: "The second Wei Wei is indeed a bit dirty, but if you want to live a life, you can't care about it so much, be down-to-earth It will become..." But that person is not only picky, but also obscene, even if she has the heart, she probably doesn't like it.

Murong Jing and Nowhere knew what she was thinking, but felt that her smile was very glaring. He had a domineering temper, since he felt uncomfortable, how could he allow her to continue, and interrupted with a sneer: "Then why don't you just allow me him?"

Meilin paused, a little annoyed by his sarcasm and sarcasm, plus she was already full of anger because of this incident before, now the two emotions were agitated together, and her face was a little ugly .

"Whether I allow him or not, what does it matter to you, Lord Murong?" After speaking, she stood up abruptly and was about to go outside.She didn't have such a violent temper, but she didn't know why she felt strangely uncomfortable when she heard his words, but she just felt that she might need to calm down and think about it.

Unexpectedly, seeing her angry, Murong Jinghe laughed instead.

"Don't go, I still have something to say." He said slowly.

Meilin looked down at him from above, saw him showing an innocent look, couldn't help being angry and funny, felt that this man was a rascal to the extreme, so talk to him carefully, he just wanted to lose his temper with you and ignore him At that time, he pretended that nothing happened to you.It's really... really frustrating!

"What's the matter?" She was annoyed, and thought to herself that if he showed her face again, she would never want to talk to him again.

Murong Jinghe had to raise his neck to look at her, this posture naturally made him dissatisfied, but he didn't show it, just smiled and said: "I've been sitting like this for too long, it's uncomfortable, you can change it for me."

In fact, if Mei Lin went hunting, he would have to sit like this for half a day, but since she was here, he could naturally change his posture at any time.

"Lie down?" Mei Lin knew that he was working hard and didn't care about it, so she bent down and asked while adjusting the mattress on his back.

"Well. Sideways."

Murong Jinghe suddenly became very obedient.Mei Lin couldn't help raising her eyes to look at him, and when she was muttering in her heart, she suddenly heard him say slowly: "You are my woman."

At that time, she was holding the back of his neck with one hand, and was pulling out the mattress with the other. The two of them were so close to each other that they almost smelled each other.Hearing this, she froze for a moment, and saw him turn his head suddenly, and kissed her lightly on the lips.

Mei Lin only felt a "boom" in his head, and there was a short blank.Murong Jinghe didn't rush her, and when she gradually recovered, what she saw was his half-smile face and the unquestionable seriousness in his eyes.

An uncontrollable hot wave spread over her neck, she turned her face away in embarrassment, almost holding her breath, gently laid him flat, then turned her body to face the room, and put clothes on her back to help maintain this position.She didn't know how to react to his words, or she even suspected that she had misheard.

Unexpectedly, Murong Jinghe didn't stop there, when she stood up straight, she repeated it slowly.

"You are my woman. You are not allowed to marry anyone but me." The voice was obviously gentle, but what was revealed in those words was domineering and possessive that made people tremble.

Meilin's heartbeat paused for a short while, her gaze met his eyes, but she was hurriedly dodged away by the heat inside, with indescribable emotions surging in her heart, she managed to make a sound after a while, but it was as thin as a gnat.

"I don't want to marry anyone..." After finishing speaking, she seemed to feel that she was clearly agreeing to his unreasonable request, and felt ashamed, she hurriedly lowered her head, turned around and walked out in a hurry, ignoring him Is there anything else to say.

Murong Jinghe looked at her somewhat bewildered back, with soft eyes, and laughed lowly.But then he thought of that bold second Wei Wei, his eyes froze, and a strong killing intent floated inside.

Meilin was flustered, she didn't know where to go, and she was afraid that Murong Jinghe would see her, so she couldn't stay in the yard anymore, so she walked around indiscriminately, and finally stopped in the kitchen.

"It's really useless..." After her heartbeat gradually calmed down, she couldn't help laughing at herself in a low voice, but she didn't know that the corners of her lips were raised, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

After she collected herself, she planned to boil some hot water and make some tea soup for the two of them to drink.Holding the water ladle in his hand, he thought of his words again, bit his lower lip, wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed.However, thinking of his expression when he said this, his heart fluttered slightly, his head was lowered and his face blushed, slightly bewildered.

"He's the best at deceiving people... Can he take it seriously?" After a while, she seemed to calm down from the feeling that made her limbs weak, and blamed herself.That's what I said, but the softness and sweetness in my heart didn't diminish at all.

Fortunately, she is not a hypocritical woman, and found that even if she thought about all the bad deeds of that man, she could not stop the heartbeat caused by that sentence, so she no longer entangled and flinched.She thought, maybe that's what people often say about liking.

The moment she reached this conclusion, her panicked heart suddenly settled down.

Like...then like it.

Even if one has declared his ownership and the other has cleared his mind, the relationship between the two has not changed much. They still occasionally quarrel as before. I bit my ear.

Mei Lin really felt that Murong Jing and that bastard were her nemesis, which made her angry and happy.As for Wei's second child who had been asked by Mrs. Liu to kiss her, she thought that he would naturally retreat in spite of the difficulties, and soon put it behind him.Seeing that the frost is coming, it will be winter soon, and the winter clothes for the two of them have not been prepared yet, so she has to hurry up hunting. In addition to exchanging food, she has to make some thick and warm winter clothes, and it is best to buy two more beds New comforter.

She usually goes out before dawn, and then comes back at noon, first for Murong Jinghe, to turn him over, to solve the problems of eating, drinking and urination, and then for herself to drink some hot pain-relieving soup , so as not to faint like last time in the mountains or on the road.

Because it was only half a day, if the weather didn't look rainy when she went out, she would half open the window for fear of Murong Jing and boredom.The villagers are simple, as long as they are not traveling far away, no one locks the door, so Mei Lin just gently closed the firewood door.Standing outside the fence, you can see everything in the yard clearly, and you can also see Murong Jinghe who is half lying down by the window of the main house.

Mei Lin never imagined that after she went out that day, an unexpected visitor came outside her house.

The weather wasn't very cold, but Wei Er Er put his hands in his sleeves and stood outside the chai gate, wandering back and forth for a long time.It wasn't until he saw someone passing by on the road not far away that he pushed the chai gate, which was not closed very tightly, and slipped in, then closed it again.

He was so nervous that he could even see the breath coming out of his mouth.Especially seeing Murong Jinghe in the window, the tension doubled again and again.

"You...Brother Lin...are you alone?" When he felt Murong Jing and Qing Leng's gaze, he subconsciously put his hands into his cuffs again, shrunk his body and leaned towards the window, his eyes were looking around in the yard glance.Knowing that Meilin was not there, he was looking for the opportunity when she was not there, but he couldn't help but wish to see her contradictoryly.

Murong Jing and the murderous intent surged in his heart again, the indifference on his face subsided, and he replaced it with a warm smile.

"Yeah, look at my body, I can't go anywhere, but I'm suffering in the room..." He said bitterly, he seemed to be very affectionate and sincere to this uninvited visitor, but He didn't even say hello to his room and sit down.It's not that he doesn't want to do more acting, it's just that he really can't bear the body odor, and he doesn't want Meilin to wash the bedding again.

Fortunately, Wei Er was too nervous to notice this at all, and even if he noticed, he wouldn't care.Because just like Murong Jinghe, he was unwilling to stay in the same closed space with the other party, the pressure would be too great.

They chatted for nothing, boasting that the room is tidy for a while, and saying that you are so lucky, Brother Lin, when talking about Mei Lin, the envy and desire on the man's face made Murong Jing and his chest twitch. I can't move, I'm afraid I have already carried it into the toilet and cleaned it well.But at this moment, he couldn't do anything, and the aggrievedness made the smile on his face brighter and more friendly.

"Brother Wei's heart, I know a thing or two." He said suddenly, feeling sick in his heart when he said this.

The voice of Wei Er Er who was still talking there suddenly stopped, his small eyes were swollen, and people could clearly see the bloodshot inside and the yellow sticky eye droppings at the corners of the eyes, plus the suffocating cheeks, it looked like a very Toad.

Murong Jinghe cursed secretly, and said with a bitter smile: "It's just that my temper in the room is also stubborn, and this fact is embarrassing..."

Feeling that he didn't object very much, Wei Er'er cheered up, and wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and pull the person in front of him into his camp. In this way, even if Mei Lin didn't agree, he would have to agree.But he is a person who can't speak, and what he said made Murong Jinghe so angry that he almost didn't turn over.

"Hey! As long as Brother Lin is willing, what she can say as a woman is up to you. I said Brother Lin, look at you paralyzed on the bed all day long, letting the little lady run around outside, and she has grown up You look so attractive, just in case..."

Murong Jing couldn't hold back the smile on his face, but he didn't show any anger, he just held his hand tightly under the quilt, and he didn't let go even when there were bursts of tingling pain in his palm.

"What's more, you... I'm afraid that's not okay, the young lady is in her youth..." The second Wei said more and more vigorously, and the more obscene he said, he didn't even know that because of these words, he was on his way to death.

"Okay...ok..." Murong Jing said hello to her with her teeth, and she didn't want to be perfunctory anymore.

Wei's second child paused, with a look of surprise on his face, "So, brother Lin, you agreed?"

"Okay...very good..." Murong Jinghe said hello two more times in a row, and then smiled slightly, "This is naturally a very good thing, and I have nothing against it. It's just..." See Seeing the ecstatic look of the short and wretched man outside the window, he paused for a moment before slowly saying, "It's just that I'm willing, but it doesn't count. The temper in my room is hard, if you can't please her, then It’s also impossible to get close.”

The second Wei was not particularly confused, upon hearing this, he hurriedly asked how he could please the little lady.

"She likes Xuelihong rouge from Qibaozhai the most in the city, but it's extremely expensive, and I'm afraid you won't want it." Murong Jinghe said lightly, and after a moment of silence, he said again, "If you make that Xuelihong rouge, she will give it to you as soon as possible." Huanxi, maybe it’s okay to not even give the dowry.”

The second Wei was only thinking about how to marry Meilin into the family first, how could he not agree after hearing the words, he hurriedly confirmed it twice, knowing that only Qibaozhai sells Xuelihong, so he left in a hurry.

Murong Jinghe watched him disappear into the yard, his face slowly turned cold.

"This king's woman dares to think about it, she's getting impatient!"

Then, on the third day, the news of Wei's second child's death was widely spread in the village. It was said that he was hit by a falling stone while sheltering from the rain under the cliff, and his whole body was smashed to pieces. come out.There are parents and brothers in his family, he was very sad when he heard the words, when he came back to his senses, he thought that he had asked Granny Liu to propose marriage to Mei Lin, and Murong Jinghe was completely paralyzed, when the two things came together, Blame the crime on Meilin.He also went to her house to make a fuss, saying that she was hard-nosed and specialized in men.

Meilin was inexplicably disturbed, but no one knew about it. On the afternoon of the second day when Wei's second son went to the city, someone visited her and Murong Jinghe's home without anyone noticing.

After the matter of Wei's second son, Mei Lin was really worried for a while, afraid that his family would come to trouble Murong Jinghe while he was going out.There is no need to do anything else, just light a fire, which is enough for him who cannot move.If you don't go out, the food stored for the winter can't last long, and sooner or later the two will be in a predicament of running out of food.After much deliberation, she couldn't find a better solution, so she couldn't help thinking about whether to leave Laowozi Village and not find a place to live.Because of this, she was laughed at by Murong Jing.

"Obviously as fierce as a wolf, as cunning as a fox, why was he suppressed by a few peasants?"

Meilin glanced at him, unhappy.Where is she fierce? If she was fierce, how could she be chased like a stray dog?And in terms of cunning, who can compare to him?Besides, if she was alone, who would she be afraid of?It's just that her throat is always uncomfortable these days, and she doesn't bother to refute him.

Murong Jing smiled, "Just do what you want, if I can't handle such a trivial matter, then I'm really a useless person as they said." Of course they were referring to Wei's second family, what was it really like that day? All the ugly words were cursed out.

Hearing the word useless, Meilin's face darkened, the Wei family bullied people too much, if she didn't want to live here peacefully, how could she tolerate it so much that he was bullied too?

"Why, don't you believe me?" Murong Jinghe knew that she was blaming herself, only that she really regarded him as a useless person, and gradually became a little unhappy at the moment.

Meilin shook her head without saying a word, took off her shoes, got under the quilt, and lay down next to him.

The two of them have always slept on the same pillow, but they have never been lying together in such a bright and bright daylight.Murong Jinghe was a little surprised, but also a little soft-hearted, so he forgot the previous displeasure.

"I'll go into the mountains tomorrow." After a while, she spoke.She thought that when all the preparations for the winter were ready, she could stay at home with him all day and make some winter clothes by the way.She is not very good at needlework, but she can always learn from others.

She looked at Junyi's eyebrows who were close at hand, carefully planned the future life of the two of them in her heart, and couldn't help but say it out of her mouth.Murong Jing cooperated with Rare, humming repeatedly, adding a sentence or two from time to time.She became happy, and felt that such a day would make people feel happy just thinking about it, but she never expected that after all, she could only think about the life that was so common and boring for others.

The next day, Meilin entered the mountain again.It's just that I still don't feel at ease, so I greeted the hunter and a few friendly villagers before entering the mountain, and asked them to take care of them.I don't know if her greetings played a role, or Murong Jinghe really had a way to deal with it. After that, she really lived in peace for a few days, until she fainted again in the mountain forest.

When she opened her eyes and saw the darkening sky, she knew that she could no longer just muddle along.

Murong Jing and Fei had to stay with her in this remote mountain village, naturally he had his own reasons, Mei Lin didn't want to get to the bottom of this point, just like she wouldn't tell him about some things.However, as the dosage of painkiller soup gradually increased, she also knew that her body was getting worse day by day, and that domineering internal force became more and more difficult to control.He must be settled before everything gets out of control!

Her throat was dry and uncomfortable, as if a nucleus had been stuck, she coughed twice before struggling to stand up.There are a few pheasants and hares scattered around, but there is no big prey.The whole day, she spent more than half a day, even missed noon.Thinking of Murong Jinghe, who had to rely on herself for food, water, and relief, she became impatient, ignoring her weak body from the pain, picked up the prey and ran towards home.

The tyrannical internal force flows through the fragile meridians, like Ling Chi, beads of sweat slid down her forehead, gradually blurring her eyes.I don't know how many times I raised my sleeves to wipe my sweat, the courtyard surrounded by the fence finally appeared faintly in the twilight.

Before entering the courtyard, through the fence, I saw Murong Jinghe sitting by the window in the same morning posture, with his head down, thinking about something, his profile was obscured by the pale blue twilight.Mei Lin felt distressed for no reason, and suddenly had a strong urge to help him find a way to connect the broken meridians no matter what.

Hearing the sound of chaimen opening, he raised his head and looked over, his eyes were deep and gloomy, not as fragile as he imagined.

"I'm back." Mei Lin said with a smile, trying to keep her expression relaxed without showing any pain.However, after speaking, she realized that her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, which was only caused by the pain, so she decided to speak as little as possible.

Murong Jinghe didn't respond, turned his head away, and resumed his previous posture.

Mei Lin only thought that he was angry, but he didn't mind, he threw the prey on the ground casually, fetched water from the well to wash his hands, and went into the house.

Lighting up the oil lamp on the table, turning around, Murong Jinghe was looking at her.She thought he would ask something, but he didn't.She breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little lost.

Walking over, she put her hand under the quilt, the quilt was still dry, and he was not incontinent because of her late return.

Murong Jinghe watched her every move intently, displeasure floated in his black eyes, and said lightly: "I haven't eaten those messy things, I can still control it." Obviously because of her actions, he felt hurt. Bullying, can't help being reminded of the embarrassing incident many days ago.

Mei Lin blushed slightly, but she didn't reply, she just looked back at him innocently with wide eyes.She felt that she had done a little too much in that matter, and of course she wouldn't bother with him, but she couldn't apologize either, because it would embarrass him anyway, so it's best not to talk about it.

Murong Jinghe lost his temper after being seen by her, and since it was not an honorable matter, he stopped continuing this topic, and just said: "I want to drink water."

Mei Lin hurriedly turned around, took a cup on the table and poured some herbal tea, and fed him to drink.Murong Jinghe frowned, but said nothing.

"Want... want to show respect?" Mei Lin was not particular about eating and drinking, so even though he noticed the subtle changes in his expression, he didn't think about cold water and tea, only thinking that he was in a hurry.

Murong Jinghe shook his head, he didn't want to speak at first, but couldn't help but said: "I haven't eaten water this day, so I'm not in a hurry." These words sounded like explanations, complaints, and relief, making people unpredictable .

"Bai Ri...Bai Ri...I'm going to cook right now." Mei Lin originally wanted to find an excuse to explain why he didn't come back at noon, but saw that he lowered his eyes and didn't seem to care much, so he stopped.

Murong Jinghe hummed lightly, asked her to help her lie down on her side, closed her eyes, her face seemed tired.

Seeing this, Mei Lin couldn't talk anymore, picked up the oil lamp and walked out.At the door, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him again, feeling inexplicably empty in her heart.

Mei Lin went to the city, sold the prey and furs he had hunted, and took the money he got in exchange to visit various medical clinics in the city, but no one could cure the broken meridians.But it was not all fruitless, an old doctor told her that a mangy doctor in the countryside south of Zhongzhou might do it.

Zhongzhou is not too far from Anyang, only about a hundred miles away, and it can be reached in half a day based on Meilin's current footsteps.It's just that it is said that the doctor travels from village to village all day long, and it is difficult to meet people.

Meilin asked carefully about the exact address of the doctor and the temperament consultation fee, etc., but the old doctor just shook his head, saying that he didn't know anything except that there was such a person.The reason why I know is that I heard a farmer from the countryside mention it unintentionally.

Always give it a try anyway.Meilin made a decision in her heart, thanked her and said goodbye.Before leaving, the old doctor gave her a piece of advice, which made her hands and feet become cold in an instant.In a daze, she didn't know how to return to the village. When she saw the closed courtyard door, she had the urge to turn her back and leave at that moment.

Just not after all.

When she pushed Chai Fei away, she even had a smile on her face.She waited on Murong Jing and Xiao Jie as usual, changed positions, and boiled hot water to bathe him, but she didn't say anything about the mangy doctor.

Putting Murong Jinghe into the slightly hot tub, she turned and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Murong Jinghe asked.When he took a bath on weekdays, she would help him brush his back or massage the parts that had been under pressure for a long time to prevent the skin from breaking down and causing bedsores.

Mei Lin paused, without turning her head, she said softly to drink the medicine, and Murong Jinghe didn't speak any more.

When she got to the kitchen, looking at the warm medicine pot by the fire pit, Meilin's heart clenched tightly. The pain was more intense and overbearing than expected, so she had to curl up by the stove with her fists against her heart, for a while. After a while, it slowly stretched out.

Trembling, she took the bowl, poured the concoction into it, and drank it down with her head up.It's just that the amount of a bowl is no longer enough to resist the severe pain, so she poured all the soup left in the jar into the bowl, leaving only the dry medicine residue.

Going back to the big house, Murong Jinghe could not help but frowned when he smelled the medicine smell all over her body, "Stop drinking that medicine, it will give you a headache."

Meilin smiled faintly, but didn't answer.

Not to mention that he got a headache from the smell, but it was her. After drinking two bowls in a row, it seemed that as long as she lowered her head, the medicine liquid in her stomach would be poured out, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling.What can I do if I just don't drink?If you don't drink, you will be so painful that you will have no strength to do things, and you will not be able to live this day.

Kneeling halfway outside the bucket, she put her hand into the water and found that it was still hot. She lowered her eyes and didn't know where her thoughts went for a moment. It wasn't until Murong Jinghe felt that something was wrong and asked.

Smiling awkwardly, she said it was all right, then stood up and began to undress.

Murong Jing and Wei were surprised, before they could react, the next moment she was stripped down to the panties in her bellyband, and she also stepped into the bucket.Because more people were added, the water in the bucket overflowed and flowed to the ground.

In Murong Jinghe's memory, except for the time when she washed his dirty body in the creek and bathed together in this way, there has never been any similar behavior since then.As for the time he left the stone forest, he was in a coma, but he didn't know it.He didn't understand why she was so abnormal today, it made him uneasy.

"Going to the city today, is there anything interesting?" When the soft body was pressed against his back, he coughed lightly and opened his mouth to break the suddenly strange silence.

Meilin hung his soaked apron and obscene trousers on the edge of the bucket, then picked up the handkerchief and began to wipe his back lightly, while slowly describing the process of selling prey in the city. But he didn't say a word about it.

"There's not much prey, so I don't have much money left after buying rice. I want to go farther tomorrow. If I can hunt tigers and leopards, it's probably enough to make you and me winter clothes."

Murong Jinghe's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained silent, and he asked calmly, "How long will you be going?"

"Two or three days at most, one or two days at least." Meilin wiped the old and small scars on his back back and forth with the handkerchief in his hand. , I will ask Brother Hunter to come over and take care of it, and I will thank him when I come back."

Murong Jinghe didn't respond, he couldn't tell her not to go, but he couldn't help feeling depressed.

Mei Lin's fingers lightly brushed a circular protruding scar on his back, and it could be seen that it was an arrow wound.When she washed his body for the first time, she found that there were countless ugly scars covered by his gorgeous clothes, and finally understood why he was wearing clothes every time he had sex.

"How did you get these injuries on your body?" She asked, in fact, she could more or less guess it in her heart.Since he once led the three armies on the battlefield, how could he not be injured?The reason why I asked was just to hear what he said about his past with my own ears.In retrospect, there seemed to be nothing else in the normal relationship between her and him except bickering and calculating each other.

"You talk a lot today." Murong Jinghe didn't answer, and his indifferent tone showed displeasure at having his privacy touched.

Mei Lin's eyes dimmed with a little hope, and smiled slightly after a while, but the smile couldn't be conveyed into the eyes.She really didn't say much anymore, but suddenly stretched out her hand and hugged him from behind, tightly, as if she wanted to grab something.

Murong Jinghe froze, inadvertently recalling Wei's second child's words that day, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

I'm afraid you can't do that... The little lady is in her youth...

"Do you think..." He stopped deliberately before continuing, "Can I satisfy you now?"

Mei Lin was stunned for a while, and finally understood what he meant, instead of retorting as usual, she just let go of her hand slowly.

"In February, the peach blossoms are red and the apricot blossoms are white, the rapeseed flowers are blooming everywhere, and the willow leaves are like green..."

In the courtyard, Mei Lin was washing the clothes they had just changed.She seemed to be in a good mood, and she actually started to sing, but her voice was a little hoarse, not as clear and soft as before.

Murong Jinghe was lying on the bed, his body still faintly exuded the dampness after bathing.The nose is filled with a faint refreshing fragrance mixed with the smell of medicine, which belongs to her and also belongs to him.

It was only past noon at this time, and the weather was rare after winter. The sun was not warm, but it was very bright.It was sprinkled under his eyelids through the worn window paper, just like her sudden kiss before, gently stirring his heartstrings.

At that time, she carried him out of the water, with the water still on her body, and rolled him onto the kang like that.She kissed him, and her tongue lingered on his tongue, which was obviously full of bitterness like medicine, but he tasted sweetness from it.

Thinking of that scene, the corners of his lips could not help but slightly raised, and his eyes looking outside became gentler than ever before.
