gentle fairy tale

Chapter 26 26

In the blink of an eye, it is June, and the grasshopper is calling for summer.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, Yu Mian held Pei Songxi's hand, walked on the campus, on the red runway in the playground, under the camphor trees on the school path, and in front of the pond with black swans, smiling brightly, and asked Pei Songxi to take pictures of her.

She is a sunny and lovely girl when she smiles, and occasionally boys whistle to her along the way.

Yu Mian didn't want to talk to each other but made Pei Songxi laugh: "Don't you like any of them?"

Yu Mian nodded vigorously: "Of course, I don't like it... Hey, Aunt Pei, it seems that someone called me?"

She turned around to look, and saw Xu Xiaoyan calling her name not far away, Liang Zhixing was waving at her, it should be to take a group photo, she took Pei Songxi's hand and walked over there: "Xiaoyan and I My deskmate is calling me!"

Pei Songxi was dragged by her through the crowd, and asked her with a smile: "Xiaoyan said at home that time, your tablemate is a very bad handsome guy, do you like him?"

Yu Mian frowned when she asked, "Aunt Pei! What are you doing!"

Why does she always have to like someone else!

Pei Songxi's smile faded a bit: "It's good to like him, and it's good to fall in love early... just be happy, Mianmian."

She always wanted her to be a happy person.

There are many kinds of pure happiness in this world, she has never experienced them, and she will never meet them in the future, so she hopes that Mianmian will have a warm home, pure and kind friends, and innocent and youthful love on campus... She will not have passionate feelings.

Yu Mian held her hand tightly, her gaze was hotter and purer than the midsummer sun: "But I have always been happy, by your side, Aunt Pei."

Pei Songxi was startled: "Mianmian?"

Yu Mian smiled at her, her eyes curved: "I don't want to fall in love early. I am a person with pursuit. When I was a child, I said I would buy a big house for you to live in! Aunt Pei!"

Pei Songxi remembered when she was so young, she clenched her fist and said she would buy her a house, her eyes softened, and she said with a smile: "Big houses are very expensive, Mianmian has to work harder."

Yu Mian was very happy to receive her encouragement, and made a yes sign before running to the playground: "I'm going to take pictures!"

The corners of her clothes were blown by the summer wind, and her smile was warm and pure.

Pei Songxi also walked over and recorded this moment with a camera not far away.

……

After graduation comes a long summer vacation.

Pei Songxi put down some work matters and took a short vacation for herself, just in time to spend with her.

For such a long time, she hasn't taken Yu Mian out to play.

On the first day of the holiday, Pei Songxi took her to a nearby park for a run, and asked her if she wanted to go out to play. The little girl thought for a while, and then refused: "No, I want to stay at home with you."

Pei Songxi deliberately slowed down his pace, beads of sweat hung on his temples, and his unpainted face was full of elegance after the new rain in the empty mountains: "I think Xiaoyan really wants to go out to play, Mianmian, don't you really want to?" ?”

Yu Mian was wearing a white sportswear, with a high ponytail, pink cheeks, a little uneven breathing: "I don't want to... I am very happy when you are with me at home. Just like now, running together every day, I'm so happy!"

Pei Songxi smiled: "Really?"

After she finished speaking, she quickened her pace, leaving Yu Mian behind.

Yu Mian pretended to be angry and called her: "Aunt Pei!"

But she laughed anyway.

This is a holiday for the two of them.

During the vacation, Yu Mian did not attend the Mathematical Olympiad training class, and only stayed in the sketching class.

Her choice has always been out of interest, she likes drawing more than math, and she seems to like staying at home more than drawing.

Pei Songxi taught her the art of tea, and read the "Tea Classic" with her: "The tea maker, the fine wood in the south, is one or two feet, or even tens of feet... Its trees are like melons, leaves like gardenias, and flowers like white roses." , like a palm tree, with a stalk like a clove, and a root like a walnut.”[Note]

With the wafting tea fragrance, Yu Mian watched the moving arc of her plain white wrist folded in the mist, always unconsciously watching for a long time.

Sometimes she also taught her flower arrangement.Gardenias, roses, violets and jasmines are planted in the yard, together with baby's breath, silverleaf chrysanthemum and sunflower bought from the flower shop, the timeless fragrance and beauty are just right.

Pei Songxi also taught her calligraphy. The ink painting hanging in her room was given by others in the early years. I inscribed the four characters "Moonlight Songxi" in elegant and delicate handwriting.

For the first time, Yu Mian knew that her nickname was Zhaoyue, and Grandma Tai always called her Yueyue.

A moment is too short, the originally long summer vacation passed in a blink of an eye.

In the last week of summer vacation, Pei Songxi cleaned the house together with her. The two of them sat on the sofa, and each held half a watermelon.

"Mianmian, let's go to a racecourse tomorrow, shall we?"

"Huh? The racecourse? Are you going to ride a horse?"

Pei Songxi pressed her hair: "Yes. Ming Ran asked me out a few days ago, and we went there together."

Yu Mian was overjoyed, her apricot eyes were black and bright: "Really!"

But after thinking about it, she began to worry again: "I haven't ridden a horse yet, will you?"

Pei Songxi smiled and nodded: "Yes. I will, I will teach you."

Yu Mian looked at her in surprise, with complete trust and admiration in her eyes, holding her arm tightly: "Wow... I have never seen you riding a horse! You know everything, you are a treasure, Aunt Pei! "

Pei Songxi was amused by her: "It's just...boring."

Practicing calligraphy, tea art, flower arranging, horse riding, and skiing are actually just ways to pass the time when you are bored. She has a cold temper and often stays alone, always looking for something to pass the time.

It's just that after bringing Yu Mian home, all the time outside of work belongs to her, and these activities are rarely touched again.

This time Ming Ran invited her over, and the phone was full of accusations against her, and it had been a long time since he met his friends; besides, do you want to hide the little girl at home for a lifetime?

Although the second half of the sentence was a joke, Pei Songxi felt that what she said made sense and agreed to the invitation.

The next day, the weather was fine and the autumn wind was rustling.

In the past, the racecourse was two hundred kilometers away, which was a bit far away. I left at six in the morning and arrived at nine o'clock.

Ming Ran was standing at the entrance of the racecourse, talking to someone.

Pei Songxi called Wei Yi to come with him. The road is too far away, and it is easy to drive tired and not safe.

Wei Yi stopped the car, and when he saw Ming Ran, his face changed slightly: "Mr. Pei, Mr. Ming is also here."

Pei Songxi raised his eyebrows, hummed lightly, and lowered his head: "Mianmian, we're here."

On the way here, Yu Mian was a little motion sick, and fell asleep drowsily leaning on her shoulder. At this moment, she opened her eyes in a daze: "It's here."

Wei Yi, who was in a complicated mood, tried his best to adjust his emotions, went around to open the door, and whispered to Pei Songxi, "Mr. Pei... can I stay in the car?"

Pei Songxi glanced at her lightly: "Come in together."

Wei Yi sighed: "Hey, good."

Yu Mian listened, and asked very puzzled: "Sister Wei Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Yi shook his head, the corners of his mouth drooping: "Xiao Mianmian, you don't understand now."

Yu Mian pouts her lips, she is not young.

Adults are always like this, saying that children don't understand.

Not far away, Ming Ran also noticed their arrival, stood under the golden autumn sun, and waved to them.

Yu Mian asked as he walked, "This place is so big... Are there many horses? Aunt Pei, am I not tall enough, can I really ride a horse later?"

Pei Songxi nodded: "Just let the horse trainer lead you a pony later, don't worry."

When they walked to the entrance of the racecourse, Ming Ran smiled at Yu Mian: "Mian Mian is here too. That little guy Ming Yao sometimes says he wants to play with his sister."

Yu Mian greeted her with a smile: "Sister Ming Ran, hello."

When her gaze shifted to the side, the woman who had been talking to Ming Ran before was gentle and elegant, with an orchid-like temperament, and smiled at her: "Is it the little girl from Songxi's family? I'm Ji Xiunian, a friend of Songxi."

Pei Songxi also smiled: "I forgot to introduce. Mianmian is Aunt Ji."

Yu Mian likes her demeanor very much, she has a gentle and bookish air: "Hello, Aunt Ji, come to my house to play with Aunt Pei more often, she is always bored at home."

Pei Songxi stroked her hair: "Okay, let's go in. By the way, Ming Ran, Wei Yi is also here, she doesn't know how to ride a horse, you teach her more."

Ming Ran's expression was deserted: "Assistant Wei is very busy, so he came here anyway."

Wei Yi also looked a little unhappy, but ignored her, turned around and greeted Ji Xiunian: "Professor Ji, long time no see. My sister went to your dance class before and said that you teach very well."

Ming Ran was left alone, and let out a cold snort.

Pei Songxi and Ji Xiunian looked at each other, smiled deeply, and walked forward tacitly, leaving the two people who were angry with each other behind.

Yu Mian's attention has long been attracted by the foals in the stable: "A lot of horses... I've never seen them before! That white one is so beautiful!"

Ji Xiunian smiled calmly: "That horse, it seems to be called Lychee Smoothie, has a gentle temperament, do you want to ride it?"

The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise: "I thought it would be called a martial arts name like Ta Xue, but I didn't expect the name to be so cute."

Seeing that she liked the colt, Pei Songxi went to the stable with the groom and brought the white colt back.

Ming Ran just came in, with a slight smile on his face, and he didn't know what happy things happened just a moment ago.

Wei Yi, on the other hand, stood beside him with an awkward expression, as if he was angry.

Lychee Smoothie is of pure blood, with smooth fur and a docile personality, suitable for young girls.

Ji Xiunian told her somewhat uneasy, fearing that she was too young and inexperienced to be easily frightened.

Yu Mian listened carefully, taking small notes in her heart, until warm fingers lifted her palm and put gloves on her, her movements were always light and meticulous.

Yu Mian regained consciousness, before she had time to speak, Pei Songxi had already squatted down, untied the strap of the knee pad, passed it around her slender calf, and tied it on her again.

Ming Ran and Ji Xiunian were talking, but now they are silent.

They have known Pei Songxi for many years, and they know how cold-hearted she is. Even though they always knew that the Pei family had picked up a little girl, they never expected...she would be so caring.

Yu Mian stared at her blankly.

Her expression is still cold and distant, from the full forehead to the straight bridge of the nose, to the beautiful and deep red lips, she has a natural and cool beauty, but the golden sun falls on her straight eyebrows, and her pair of flat lake-like eyes There is also a moving halo reflected in the eyes.

"oops……"

When she came back to herself, her face blushed first.

How can I get Aunt Pei to kneel down and tie her knee pads...

She is not a child anymore!

She pursed her lips in embarrassment: "Aunt Pei, just go and play with yours."

Pei Songxi smiled, and walked forward while leading her by the rope.

The autumn sun was warm and warm, and Yu Mian's palms were sweating a little, and she wanted to persuade her to play, and just learn from the coach by herself.

Pei Songxi did not agree, and walked slowly around the racecourse.

Her voice was always clear and pure, and she tapped lightly on Yu Mian's eardrums: "Mian Mian, I'm not at ease if I hand you over to someone else."
