"At that time, she was packing a few fish and tied them together to hand them to the buyer. It was the first time I saw her close up. She was wearing ordinary linen clothes, but she couldn't block such a beautiful smile. Not far away, I was so nervous that I seemed to have two big sandbags tied to my legs, and I couldn't walk a step. I wanted to go forward, but I didn't know what to say, so I could only stand stupidly until someone pushed me and realized that I was blocking my way."

Lu Jian said softly: "I hesitated in place for a long time. Seeing that the fish in front of her stall were about to be sold out, I was about to close the stall and go home. I mustered up the courage to walk forward. The distance of those few steps had used up most of my strength. Seeing that she was right in front of me, so close that she could see the sweat on her forehead clearly, I suddenly became extremely nervous, just like the first time I saw a teacher when I was a child, what should I say? I forgot all the things I had thought about just now."

"She saw me standing in front of her stall, and without saying a foolish sentence, she said, "Your guest, do you want to buy some fish?" This ordinary sentence, exactly ten words, I have never forgotten it, because that was the first thing she said to me."

Lu Jian seemed to have returned to that day, and he became helpless. He could only hear him slowly say: "Because of her words, I suddenly came to my senses and remembered who I was. At that time, somehow, my voice became hoarse, and I said in an extremely low voice: 'I...I think, yes, buy a fish and cook soup.'"

"I didn't expect that when she saw my face flushed, my voice hoarse, and my whole soul was absent-minded. I thought I had a fever and became sick, but I didn't know that all this was because of her. She said to me carefully: 'This guest official, why don't you go see the doctor first? It's not good to eat fish when you are not feeling well.' This silly girl, she is a fish seller, and she doesn't let others buy fish."

"I fell in love with her because of this sentence. I didn't know what I thought at that time, so I just said to her: 'Yes, can I buy it tomorrow?' But she shook her head and said that her father had a sick leg and foot disease. She only came out to help buy it for one day and would go back to take care of her father tomorrow. I was disappointed. The disappointment was not that I couldn't buy the fish, but that I would never see her tomorrow. When she saw my disappointment, she immediately said, if she really wanted to eat fish, she could wait two days later to find her at the west end of the village in Loujiaji, so she could catch a net of fresh fish."

"I was so happy at that time, but I couldn't show it in front of her. I had to agree in a muffled voice and then hurried away. What if I showed my strength in front of her and turned it aside?"

"It was from that time that I made sufficient preparations to make myself look so decent and generous. Until I met her two days later, I forgot everything this time. When I was picking fish, I picked up some irrelevant words and said it. After a while, I hurried away again. Brother, is it strange that you said you like someone? You want her to know, but you don't want her to know."

Zhu Qingsheng was very embarrassed when he heard this and nodded in a hunch. He had never experienced anything, so how could he understand what he meant.

Lu Jian said softly: "After buying those fish, I couldn't bear to eat them, so I hung them on the window. When there was no one, I would express my feelings to them. Over time, everyone in the mansion said that I was sick and talked to myself to the fish all day long, but I laughed at them. How could I know how to like someone?"

"Later, I went to buy her fish frequently and took the opportunity to talk to her. I didn't ask for anything. As long as I could see her, we gradually became familiar with her. One day, I saw her sitting on the boat and was frowning. Oh, how could I bear to see her depressed? I tried to ask her what happened. She said that fresh fish were not easy to sell in the past few days, and there were too many fish sold, and her father's legs and feet were inconvenient. She was worried about what to do. When I heard this, I immediately said, "I can buy all these fish, there are many people in my family, and I like to eat fish recently, and these are not problems. When she heard this, her eyes were full of light. What I like the most was her appearance."

"She said that if I really need it, I could only charge 80% of the money. I nodded and agreed. What should I do if I let her know that I was deliberately helping her? I want her to be free and not talk to me because I owe me."

"I often go to buy her fish from now on. Fortunately, she doesn't catch a lot of fish every time, and I can afford it. Every time I buy it, I will take it home and share it with the servants. At first they were grateful and thanked a lot. Later, they all had a bitter face and refused the fish I gave them, saying that they could see what the meat under the skin smelled when they looked at the fish from a distance."

Lu Jian smiled with a smile: "In a few days, winter is coming soon. The river surface is gradually frozen and I can no longer catch fish. That morning, I saw her sitting on the shore, dazed towards the river surface, and her figure looked so thin. I couldn't help but take off my cotton robe and put it on her. She turned around in surprise to look at me. My heart was turbulent for a moment, and I said everything that was pressed into my heart to her. After saying that, I regretted it, but I felt extremely relaxed. I lowered my head and my whole body was tense, as if waiting.

Just like waiting for her reply, waiting for her reply, the short moment felt so long. She didn't say anything. I couldn't help but look up at her. She immediately turned her head. In that moment, I saw surprise, shyness, and a hint of joy in her eyes. It turned out that she liked me too. A feeling of ecstasy suddenly emerged in my heart. All the worries and uneasiness blinked away, and a voice was shouting in my heart: She liked me, she liked me."

"At that moment, I held her hand by a silence. It was the first time I held her. The dream I had had at night before was realized. My heart was pounding. I wanted to see it, but I didn't dare to look at her eyes."

Zhu Qingsheng's heart was shocked. Does it really make you feel so wonderful if you like someone?

Lu Jian was immersed in the memories of the past and said softly: "That period passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, winter and spring came, spring and summer bloomed. When I saw that the time was almost the same, I plucked up the courage to pay homage to her father. Unexpectedly, she had told her father a long time ago. Her father had some inconvenience in legs and feet, but his alcohol tolerance was not bad. Her father held my hand after getting drunk and said that he had only such a daughter, which was all he loved and his only relative. If I were half-hearted and fed up with the old and old, I would make my legs exactly the same as him. But how could I change my mind, even today."
