Chapter 143: Pearl's Choice
In these days of staying in Mogu, Liu Xuan took Zhu'er to see a lot of things and visit many places. In other words, because Mogu is almost closed, they almost don't publicize it to outsiders, and it is the first time to lead people to visit like this.
Since Zhu'er looks almost like Ling'er, the other brothers and sisters don't have a very strange feeling about Zhu'er. On the contrary, it is like taking care of the little junior sister, and everyone takes good care of Zhu'er.
Even though Pearl's and Suzu's personalities are different, she can sense whether others are kind or malicious towards her. So I still think Mogu is very good, after all, there are a bunch of people around you, who are good to you. This is something that Pearl has never felt before. In the past, in their own world, there were only adoptive parents, but they were poor, and they had to work hard to earn money in order to eat, so they had little time to spend with themselves.
And each of these brothers is not very old, and there is not a very generation gap with Zhu'er. She thinks it's good, go up the tree with this senior brother today, and compete with that senior brother tomorrow. Speaking of martial arts, Shi has even promised Zhu'er that if she is willing to stay in Mogu, he can call her martial arts.
Now Wuchen completely quit "Old guy, what are you doing? Do you want to snatch my daughter? My own martial arts are very high, I can pay my daughter by myself, I don't need you." You have so many apprentices, go teach your apprentices. β
"Look, that's where you're inferior to me. You're too stingy, my martial arts are better than yours, and everyone I teach is very successful, I'm more experienced than you. β
"What's there to quarrel with the two of you? Zhu'er didn't say that she wanted to learn martial arts, and she didn't even say whether she would stay in Mogu or go back to Zhongzhou next. Liu Xuan felt that since Wuchen came, the master had also become very naΓ―ve, the two of them always quarreled, and sometimes they could make a few moves, in fact, it would be good if Wuchen really stayed.
That night, Liu Xuan woke up from his sleep, and for some reason, he was very distressed, so he got up and wanted to go to the yard to blow the wind. As a result, I happened to meet Zhu'er sitting on a stone chair, and she was looking at the moon without blinking her eyes, as if she was in a trance.
"What are you looking at? It's not going to be the moon, is it? The moon isn't so beautiful at this time. Or are you thinking about something? I suspect you haven't slept all this time, have you?"
"Yes, the moon has changed over time, but the moon is the moon, and the stars can only be stars. That's not going to change. Even if the stars are beautiful, they can only stand next to the moon. β
"Are you alright? In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"
"I'm happy these days, but when I think about all the happiness I'm getting now, it's because I look like a bell, and I always feel like I've stolen something. β
"Don't think about it, you were invited by Master, where did you use the word stealing. Even if something happens to Ling'er, everyone will still be very good to you when you come. Because everyone is kind and hospitable people, it has nothing to do with whether you are a bell or a pearl or not. Although you may think of Ling'er when you look at your face, your personalities are completely different. β
"Liu Xuan, I want to ask you a question, can you answer me truthfully?"
"Okay, just ask. β
"If, I mean, if I have some kind of connection with Ling'er, and I can exchange myself for Ling'er, will you agree? Will everyone agree? I think we should all raise our hands to show our approval, right? After all, Ling'er has a docile personality and is more likable, and I ......."
"Zhu'er, I've never found out before that you would have low self-esteem. It's weird, I see that you like to wear a little dress to the mall, and I think you're at least a confident and beauty-loving girl. β
"Yes, maybe it's because you've never gotten that. You see, although I look like Ling'er, but in terms of personality, I thought I would be more like Bian Yanli. β
"Bian Yanli, why did you suddenly mention this name?"
"Don't you think? Both of us were originally to avenge our loved ones, even if it cost everything. She has always longed for the love of her family and the care of her family, so when she meets the side bones again, she can believe in each other defenselessly, constantly excuse each other, and brainwash herself. I'm the same, and I'm hungry for the love of my family. β
He has a deep sense of guilt for you, and wants to make it all up to you, and he has been learning how to be a father in order to learn how to be better for you. β
"I'm not saying that he's bad, it's just that you're direct, and my father's identity is not so easy to accept. But friends are different, so I came to Mogu for a few days, but I feel that your brothers and sisters have become my friends. I got what I wanted because of Suzu, but I'm afraid that they will be disappointed, because I'm not Suzu'er after all, and after a long time, everyone will become. β
"No, they really like you. Naturally, you can't ignore the fact that you look like it, but there is one thing you don't forget, you and Ling'er are cousins, which is innate, and it's not for you to change and want to take advantage of this. So, even if you enjoy everything about Ling'er, that's fine. β
"Then do you want me to stay in Mogu or go back to Zhongzhou?" Zhu'er looked at Liu Xuan directly.
"Why do you ask me? It's your decision. β
"You know, you know everything. Don't always treat me like a little sister, do this to Ling'er, still do this to me. That's the last thing I can accept. I don't know why you can't love Ling'er, but I can't find a reason why you can't love me. Zhu'er was almost equivalent to confessing directly to Liu Xuan.
"Zhu'er, don't make trouble. That's not a ridiculous question. Liu Xuan turned around and wanted to leave, but he was hugged by Zhu'er from behind, and he had to sit down again.
"You know that I don't just like you, for you, I just dare to say that word, this is love. You said that my personality is different from Suzu's, and yes, we are different. She didn't dare to say it, but I dared to say it. She's bound, but I won't. Compared with her, my life is already very hard, and I don't want to hide my feelings all the time. β
"I can't say why I can't love Ling'er, but it's similar to not being able to love you. Liu Xuan said helplessly.
"I guessed it. Because we both have very similar fathers, what else can there be? You're not bad in all aspects, and there's only this one when you think about it. Your master threatens you not to let you like Ling'er because your profession is too dangerous and he only wants a comforting life for his daughter. Although this dangerous profession was also introduced to you by him. Isn't it?"
"How did you know in such detail?"
"You know I've never been one to sit still. I originally wanted to talk to your master, but I didn't expect to see them chatting in the middle of the night, and the content of the conversation is what I know. So I heard it secretly, but it's not much different from what I guessed. But you should think that Wuchen is not the same as your master. β
"It's no different, he has looked for me before, do you know? He told me, I hope I can clearly realize that you and Ling'er are two people, you are not Ling'er, let alone a substitute for Ling'er. He kept me away from you. β
"How could he be so excessive?"
"No, I think that's normal. Out of a father's concern for his daughter. Actually, the first time I saw you, I knew that you weren't my little sister, even though you looked the same. But the projection in my eyes feels different. You're a pretty little Lori, and she's a little lady. β
"Why are you so impressed with me? You can't be in love with me, right?"
"Yes, if you must ask, then I can answer you too. Yes, I like you, I like Ling'er, and I'm pretty sure that the love for the two of you is not the feelings that a normal senior brother should have for his junior sister. But I can't, I can't hurt you, not just because of Master and Wuchen, but also because of other things that are inconvenient to talk about for the time being. β
"If you like me, as long as you dare to say it in front of Wuchen, in the future, I will follow you wherever you go. β
Liu Xuan touched Zhu'er's head, "So, are you willing to give up revenge for me, right?" β
"It's not a conflict. Zhu'er protested that Liu Xuan had messed up her hair.
"You forgot that I said that I also have my own set mission, I won't stay in Zhongzhou for long, my business hasn't started yet. β
"I can go with you. β
"Trust me, we don't have the same goals, so we can't be together. β
"Are you rejecting me outright, why do you want to reject me if you like me? I really don't understand you men!"
"Because love requires responsibility, and I can be responsible for you, but you can't be responsible for yourself right now. And I don't expect you to change yourself for love. You're hell-bent on revenge, and I'm not going to comment on it, but at least I'll want you to remember what you were here for in the first place. β
"Don't explain, explanation is a cover-up. I probably understand, in the final analysis, I don't care about people who look like Ling'er, and even my own feelings are very similar to Ling'er, and you're afraid that Ling'er's things will repeat the mistakes of the past, so you won't do the challenge. Even though you regret it because of what happened to the bell, you still stick to your thoughts, right? β
"At this point, I have to admit that you are more mature than Suzu. β
"Actually, love is love, and leaving is leaving, it's not that difficult. There are so many things in this world, there will always be more suffering ahead. But I never regretted falling in love with you, even though it was a love that ended without a hitch, and I was rejected by you before I even started, which is really pitiful. β
"You know I'm not rejecting you, I'm just ......"
"This is for you, remember to carry it with you, and tie it to the bell. Let's be with you like twin flowers. Hopefully you can always carry it with you. With that, Zhu'er took the dzi off her neck and gave it to Liu Xuan.
"Isn't this a gift from Wuchen, because of your name bead, you have given a meaningful bead, just like a bell is a bell. The symbolism is too heavy for me to accept. β
"Why can't you? In fact, giving you the dzi is to tell you on behalf of me, I chose to stay and stay in Mogu. β
"Why, don't you like Zhongzhou a lot?" Liu Xuan didn't expect that Zhu'er didn't hesitate to make the final choice.
"I still like you, so what can I do? Revenge doesn't happen overnight, and I don't have any news. You can practice your kung fu by the ink valley, and then wait for the enemy to appear. At least here there is the family affection I yearn for. β
"Liu Xuan, if you say that I will definitely go with you. But since you choose to give up on me, then I can only continue to pursue my original intention. In fact, this choice has always been difficult, because if we choose our family and stay in Mogu, it is very likely that we will see each other less in the future. Didn't you say you would leave?"
"Yes, if you stay, Master and I will be very welcome. I think it's quite funny to think that the dustless seniors and the master are fighting all day long. β
Zhu'er leaned directly on Liu Xuan's shoulder, "Although we don't have much fate, I will remember that you loved me, and I hope you can be safe and happy." β
