Chapter Twenty-Eight: Heart-to-Heart Talk
[Ran^Text^Library] "But if I hadn't sent someone to save you today, you wouldn't have said it was me!" So maybe you're in a different place now, you say? Xiao Jue pinched Qiu Shuiman's slender chin and forced Qiu Shuiman to look at his deep eyes like a flood.
"You won't save me!" Qiu Shui didn't mind, her bright eyes were full of light, she said with a smile.
Xiao Jue chuckled, let go of Qiu Shuiman's chin, sat down next to Qiu Shuiman again, and couldn't help but smile and said, "That's how you believe in me?" Qiu Shuiman shook his head and explained, "It's not that I have confidence in you, but that no matter what I say, I'm your wife, and if something happens to me, you can't escape being implicated, aren't you?" β
Xiao Jue was stunned, yes! From the moment she became his princess, they had shared honor and disgrace! Whatever his purpose in keeping her around, he had an obligation to protect her from harm.
Xiao Jue Zhengse, and said: "In the face of any situation, the first thing people should think of is themselves, and only if they survive can they have a chance and hope." β
He was advising this woman, but in fact, the compassion in his heart was invisibly making trouble, but Qiu Shuiman didn't seem to appreciate it, and looked out of the car window lightly, "I don't like to do things that violate my conscience!" β
This woman! It really aroused his interest, and sometimes I don't know if she really doesn't understand anything, or because she understands everything, so she can be like that.
Xiao Jue didn't speak again, but Qiu Shuiman suddenly had doubts, and looked at Xiao Jue's side face, "Is today's incident my good father doing?" β
Xiao Jue frowned, he hadn't thought about this question, to be precise, those who had been fighting against him now were suspicious!
"It's not certain yet! But he's also suspicious! Xiao Jue said with slightly calm eyes, so he couldn't see the love in his eyes clearly.
Qiushui nodded casually, the two did not speak again, and the carriage suddenly fell silent, as if a needle could fall off and hear the sound.
"If you're going to deal with Qiu Xiang, I'll help you,!" Qiu Shuiman suddenly opened his mouth lightly, Xiao Jue turned his head and saw that Qiu Shuiman's eyes were slightly dark, he was very serious about talking about this matter, and heard Qiu Shuiman continue, "But I hope you can agree to my request." β
Xiao Jue seemed to have already tracked Qiu Shuiman's request, he felt that his forehead was a little heavy, but he still said lightly, "Say!" β
"I hope you can let go of Qiu Yeji, he is innocent, he is just a pawn of Qiu Gongjin! Moreover, in Qiufu, he is the only one who is good to me, sincerely! β
Xiao Jue looked at Qiu Shuiman, and his originally bright eyes were slightly lowered and darkened at this moment...... It was as if the unruly light had been extinguished in an instant.
Qiu Shuiman naturally didn't notice that Xiao Jue's gaze fell on her at this moment, but what she remembered in her heart was that when she was very young, when the mother of this body died, she had handed over a piece of jade pendant to her, and told her that she was not Qiu Gongjin's own daughter.
This is also Qiushuiman, who has been infected by poison for decades, and deceives herself that Qiu Gongjin is a good father, but in fact, she already has an invisible resistance in her heart, knowing that Qiu Gongjin is just using her like this.
At this moment, Qiu Shuiman deeply felt the longing of the original body, eager to be favored by his father, not to be used.
That jade pendant is still hanging on Qiu Shuiman's neck, but Qiu Shuiman doesn't know anything about his life experience. Of course, this qiΔ, about the secret of her life experience, she has no intention of suing sΓΉ Xiao!
Qiu Shui Man was immersed in his thoughts, and his expression was gloomy, but the more Qiu Shui Man was like this, the more unbearable Xiao Jue felt in his heart, this woman actually showed such an expression when she thought of Qiu Ye Scar.
Is it that I miss the titular brother in my heart, but now I am trapped by him, so the thoughts and misses in my heart are indescribable?
"This king will think about it!" Xiao Jue's tone was cold, without the calm gentleness just now, and even turned his head and stopped looking at her.
The cold look made Qiu Shui quite uncomfortable for a while, but she thought to herself, hasn't this man always been like this? Joy and anger are invisible, often turning their faces faster than turning books, and saying that women are the most fickle, she see! Men are even more than that.
Qiu Shuiman didn't speak, and the carriage instantly became quiet again, only the sound of the coachman in front of him constantly whipping the carriage, and after a while, the carriage arrived at the palace. Xiao Jue didn't even help her out of the carriage, he got out of the carriage with a black face and walked away.
Qiu Shui shook his head helplessly, knowing that this man was angry again because of his words. Sure enough, the ancient masters were not so easy to serve.
originally thought that Xiao Jue was just throwing a tantrum, but obviously she was wrong, and she didn't see the slightest shadow of this man for a few days, let alone have a meal with this man.
There is no need to face Xiao Jue, the autumn water is a rare relaxation, but for some reason, there is a faint irritability in her heart, as if there is a love that wants to break out of the ground, uncontrollable.
This strange irritability makes Qiu Shuiman feel frustrated? She still unknowingly planted a demon barrier in her heart. The seed of the clutches may be the man, the demon who is sometimes cold and sometimes enthusiastic towards her!
Qiu Shui Man couldn't stand this kind of day after all, fortunately Xiao never grounded her, she was really depressed in the house, and she was afraid that she would be in danger when she went out of the house, but fortunately she dressed up as Xiao Si and went out of the house with Qingshen.
The weather outside is sunny and windy, it is a good weather to play and relax, and I walk and stop with Qingluo, and I feel new to many things on the street.
The antique buildings, the pedestrians on the streets, and the costumes made Qiu Shuiman deeply feel that he had indeed come to ancient times, not dreaming.
At the corner of West Street, a liquor store caught the attention of Qiu Shuiman. The sporadic memories emerged, and it turned out to be the only trace of warmth about the original body for more than ten years.
The wine shop is not big, there are only two floors, and when she goes up to the second floor, in the position she is most familiar with, a handsome man dressed in white is drinking low with a wine glass, and at that moment there is some joy in Qiu Shuiman's heart.
Qiu Yeji didn't expect to see Qiu Shuiman here, although she was dressed in men's clothes, she still couldn't escape his warm eyes. The moment I saw her, Qiu Yeji's heart rippled again, and a slightly trembling voice sounded.
"Man'er!" Autumn Nightmark whispered as if he was rather uncertain.
"Brother Night." Qiu Shuiman also screamed excitedly, and the surprise of Cheng DΓΉ was no less than the love of Qiu Yeji seeing her at this moment.
Autumn Water Flood sat down opposite the Autumn Night Scar, where they used to come often.
"Brother Night, are your injuries healed?" Qiu Shui thought about the assassination that night, if it weren't for the autumn night marks protecting her, she would have died under the assassin knife sent by her father.
"It's been a long time ago, don't worry, my brother is very healthy." Autumn Night Scar patted his chest, and looked at Qiu Shui Man with smiling eyes.
Qiu Shuiman nodded with satisfaction, and she picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine for the two of them. Chatting about some of the past events when she was a child, she has been feeling extremely depressed in the past few days, but at this moment, with the brother of Autumn Night Scar here, she feels that her mood seems to be much better.
Suddenly, his hand tightened, Qiu Shuiman's hand that didn't hold the wine glass had been held by Qiu Yescar, Qiu Shuiman was surprised, but he didn't think much about it, he just couldn't help asking, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" β
"Man'er, Xiao Zhu didn't he bully you!" Autumn Night Scar could already see her loneliness just from her expression and words, although she concealed it very well, but she couldn't escape his eyes.
He has been with her for eighteen years, how can her words and deeds be hidden from him?
Qiushui was slightly surprised, there was a warm current in his heart, and since he smiled heartily: "Brother, don't worry!" No one dares to bully me, I have my brother to protect me, don't I? β
Qiu Shuiman blinked at the autumn night mark, and suddenly it was as bright as a star, as if all the light was attracted to her at this moment.
"Yes, no matter where you are, my brother will protect you, forever." He whispered the last few words almost softly, and Qiu Shuiman didn't seem to hear them.
Qiu Shuiman, who was weak and needed his protection at that moment, had disappeared unconsciously, and on that day at the palace banquet, she was so dazzling that she seemed to attract everyone's attention.
Of course, it also includes him, he doesn't know what this change of Qiushuiman means to him, he is happy for the change of Qiushuiman, but at the same time, he feels faintly uncomfortable in his heart, as if Qiushuiman, who used to rely on him, has changed.
Even so, she is still the one who can control his words and deeds, and make him want to love but dare not love. The only thing he could do was be behind her, silently watching her.
Qiu Shuiman's heart swelled with sourness, so touched, warm, coming to this world, in this strange alien space, it seems that only he will be so good to himself.
After the brother and sister left the liquor store, they went shopping in the streets. Qiu Shuiman saw the sugar people and rock sugar gourds on the street, and the bits and pieces of the past emerged again.
"I remember when you were a child, you loved to cry, and when I said I was going to buy you candy people and rock sugar gourds, you stopped crying, and kept pestering me to go to the market until I happily got them." Autumn Night Scar said that he had already paid, and handed the sugar man to Qiu Shuiman.
Qiushui's eyes were red, and the long-lost emotion lingered in her heart, and she received the sugar man and smiled mischievously at him: "There is also a rock sugar gourd, I want it too." β
"Okay." The doting voice sounded in Qiushuiman's ears, and she lowered her head and licked the sweet greasy sugar man. She doesn't love sweetness, but this is what the original owner likes, and this is also her only sweetness and warmth in this other world.
It was getting dark, and they walked through all the places they had walked when they were children, with nostalgia and nostalgia. At the end of the road is the Yin Wang's Mansion, and the autumn night mark knows that the good times always have to pass, and this day is a gift for him.
