Embroidery Girl
chapter 31: the drizzling rain on a cold night
They continued to walk east. Xin Mei was enjoying the scenery this afternoon with a happy heart. It was really nice that he could enjoy nature again like this, even so happy, he forgot his stomach.
Even though she was in Tang Li's grip, she felt better. And in any case, Tang Li treated her more civilizedly.
“Tang Li, that pendant is precious to me. You can't treat her carelessly,” said xin mei slowly as she resuscitated her head on Tang Li's shoulder and looked to the side.
“I understand.”
“also... can I do anything I want during this trip?”
“Can, but can not steal and shower carelessly.”
“I no longer do. I'm more mature.” Xin Mei raised her face, then leaned back.
“Really, did you give it?” Xin Mei wanted to believe it.
Tang Li nodded slowly.
“hore! I really like it!” Xin Mei subconsciously hugged Tang Li tighter. Although he was not free, he could at least do whatever he wanted.
Tang Li felt suffocated, but she did not fight back. He enjoyed the joy he had not felt for a long time.
They both kept walking. Xin Mei stared in all directions with her witty and childish face. What a joy his heart is at the moment.

Du yueliang stood on top of the hill looking at the western horizon with a gentle face. Then unconsciously her tears came.
A small figure flew towards him then rubbed his tears.
“Mother, father, you can finally live again. I will never cry. I've already let her go. I thanked him for awakening me. Mom and Dad, too, I'm so grateful. If it wasn't for the three of you, maybe I would have sacrificed myself for unnecessary things.”
Du yueliang recalled how he had done something suicidal to end his life with Tang Li. But it was unexpected that the core of the snowmelt puppet appeared and prevented him from doing that. It was the embodiment of his father and mother. Their spirits were inside the doll.
But by then it was too late. However, Tang Li appeared and prevented that, then left her.
He was so grateful that his old friend saved him and never thought he would do that, instead of killing him.
Afterwards, he became aware and regretted his actions and laughed at him. Her mother and father, she met in a dream and hugged her. He was so happy to feel that again. There is no ultimate happiness when meeting with his mother.
“father, mother, let's go home.”
Du yueliang turned around to leave with the snowmelt Puppet flying around him.

In the distant sky, slowly a pure white bird flew over and alighted in Fang Liang's hand. He then removed the scroll that was at his feet.
After reading it, she turned around. “they got closer, aunty.”
He then handed it to Tao's aunt who was sitting while knitting the cloth.
Auntie Tao accepted it and read it.
“I guessed it, he didn't disappoint at all. I've predicted it. She'll be my daughter-in-law.”
“Auntie, why are you so confident?”
Auntie Tao stood up, then stood in front of the window. He looked towards the well. An old well at night. The moon looks beautiful and full of stars. She smiled how to remember Xin Mei was engrossed in enjoying the reflection of her own reflection in the well. He felt like he was seeing his daughter who was gone by that time.
Since meeting her, she had already raised her to be her daughter and would always watch over her. She was very grateful to have Xin Mei and secretly raised her to be a child. Her daughter was exactly like her when she was alive. It was as if he had seen his son reincarnate again.
“She has two shadows inside her body. She's gonna be a great woman. With her prowess, she was able to take care of herself and Tang Li.”
Two shadows, Aunt Tao subconsciously saw two vague shadows from the girl's body, like there was a figure that would protect her silently. Therefore, She was very sure, Xin Mei was no ordinary girl.
“but aunt, Tang Li is very cold. Instead of Xin Mei guarding him, she was the one who was tormented. I'm not sure about this letter. I hope Xin Mei is fine with that ice man.”
......................
Time passed, the wind kept blowing, the birds kept laying eggs. Tang Li and Xin Mei continued walking eastward. They enjoy a journey full of challenges and obstacles. But never did the girl get caught up with her mischief. Although he did not bathe and steal, he would walk around wherever he wanted, wanting to buy sweets, eggs, fruits and more as if he had forgotten Lu yingtao's upbringing
When Tang Li banned her, she would say, “You have already allowed me to do anything I want!”
Then Tang Li could not say anything more. He could only sigh.
As time continued, xin Mei finally obtained a stone from her deeds. One day, on a cold night, he finally met the bandits. The girl could only run, but due to being too hasty, she fell down. Haven't had time to run, the bandits circled around him.
He became scared and cried. He doesn't know what he can do. The bandits laughed. They shrink the circle and begin to hurt the girl.
Xin Mei became even more afraid. He can only cry.
“Tang Li! I need your help.”
Even though he was shouting like that, there was no one to help him.
Blows, kicks, clothes in ripped, all bandits do the same. In an extremely precarious moment, Tang Li finally came and saved him.
“dasar slow! Look, my clothes are ripped like this! Where have you been!?”
Tang Li did not reply and enveloped xin mei with a cloth. Xin Mei's face turned red, her body hotter as Tang Li did that to her.
“What's wrong with you?”
“T-no.”
“Can you stand?”
“T-no.”
Tang Li sighed then carried his body.
“T-tang Li, what are you doing?” xin Mei's face was redder.
“this is the reply for a wild man like you.”
“I'm not wild, I just want to play around.”
“whatever you are.”
They continued walking with xin mei's face flushed red, while Tang Li smiled enjoying how the girl was embarrassed.

Droplets upon drops dropped the tile of Liu Fang's hakka house. Peach leaves fell and flew in the wind. That night dark clouds filled the sky, as if the sky was weeping and grieving.
The roar of wind and raindrops created a cold, frightening and dark atmosphere.
When it was late at night, the rain began to subside. Puddles of water decorate the yard of the house. Basically scattered the petals of peaches and their leaves. From there will be seen a full moon hiding behind the clouds and looking up, as if afraid of the sky crying again.
Inside the room, Liu fang put down an ink brush and sighed. He then stood up as he rolled up a bamboo scroll. As he placed it on the shelf, suddenly someone knocked on the gate a few times. He slightly looked at her, then put down the scroll.
“who comes on a night like this?”
He took an umbrella and opened the gate. Slowly the figure of the woman standing not far from the gate began to be seen. Liu fang was startled and slightly raised the lining of his eyelids. His heart started to shake uncontrollably, and his body felt hotter than before. The mouth that previously wanted to speak stopped and was speechless.
He briefly saw a very deep figure later on. The figure was very similar to the person he had been waiting for for a long time, just that it had the look of a mature woman.
She could not turn away from the figure of the woman wearing that pure white dress. It was as if seeing white clouds and luminous stars while drizzling through the night like this.
“lord, do you remember me?” the woman lifted her umbrella and showed her face.
Liu fang was fixated, he was speechless and did nothing. What a strange feeling had pervaded his body at this moment.
