Chapter 41: Gentleness
The autumn is high and cool, the sun is just right, and after a few days of rest, Ren Xin is much more energetic. She leaned lazily against the window and looked at the lazy sky in a daze.
She remembered that today was the day of the list, about the afternoon, and she should have left at this time, but she couldn't muster up the courage to go to the list, she tried hard to recall what she had written, but she couldn't remember, the sun was slightly stinging, she closed her eyes gently, the only thing she could remember was that she seemed to have written some rebellious remarks......
"The old man has just been away from the dynasty for a few years, and they don't take the old man in their eyes like this! How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, then what is Lu Zilin......"
"He's the prime minister......"
In a trance, Ren Xin seemed to hear Xu Fuzi's angry voice, as well as Chu Qingchen's words that hit him, hallucination? Ren's hazy eyes looked in the direction of the source of the sound, separated by a heavy wall, and no one could be seen.
"Xin'er, what are you looking at?" Hua Qianli didn't know when, but appeared in Ren Xin's house, and a sudden voice came in her ears, which made Ren Xin a little frightened.
"Why are you here? Aren't you still looking for someone? Ren Xin saw Hua Qianli and was inexplicably relieved. However, she didn't see Yanran.
"It's enough to leave the matter of finding someone to Yanran, I came to you to take you to meet the two old people."
"The deceased? Your old friend or my old man? Ren Xin felt a little strange, and couldn't guess who the old man in Hua Qianli's mouth was. Hua Qianli looked at Ren Xin and smiled faintly, "Guess? ”
"I guess...... If I can guess, I need to ask you? Suddenly, Ren Xin thought of Fang Cai's auditory hallucinations, "Master and Chu Qingchen?" ”
"Well, it's Mr. Xu and Chu Qingchen." Hua Qianli responded, pushing Ren Xin's shoulders and pushing her to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and then someone brought tea. As soon as he heard that the person was really Master Xu, Ren Xin's mind became flustered, and he took the tea from his subordinates, Ren Xin handed the tea to his mouth, but he didn't put his mouth down, frowned, and put the teacup on the stone table and got up to leave.
Hua Qianli grabbed Ren Xin's sleeve and pulled her back, "What? Where are you going? Ren Xin looked at Hua Qianli with a headache, and shook his hand a little impatiently, "Qianli, let go quickly!" How can I have the face to see the Master? ”
"Why don't you have the face to see Mr. Xu? Mr. misses you very much, only a few words, why don't you want to? Hua Qianli didn't know what Ren Xin was struggling with.
"I ......" Ren Xin didn't know what to say, but the master had told her not to let people tell her gender from her content when she took the township test, but she didn't expect her to ...... The township test is hopeless, what can she say?
"Xin'er, why are you sick, you girl? Come, let the old man see, are you feeling better now? "Okay, now Ren Xin can't run even if he wants to, and the master and Chu Qingchen appeared together.
Ren Xin pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at the master, "It's okay, I'm worried about the master." ”
"What's wrong, you're in a bad mood?" The master saw that Ren Xin didn't have a smile on his face, and even looked a little depressed, which made the master feel a little distressed, but he had raised her as his own daughter since he was a child, how could he be willing to let her suffer the slightest grievance.
"It's okay......" Ren Xin lowered his head, not daring to look at the master, the more the master cared about her like this, the more ashamed she felt, "Master...... Xin'er is afraid that she will not be able to participate in the test...... "At the beginning, she swore that she would definitely be able to win Xie Yuan, but what about Zuihou, she is afraid that she is not even a lifter.
Ren Xin said, the tears in her eyes swirled back and forth, she didn't want her master to see her shed tears, she lowered her head and closed her eyes, refusing to look up. Chu Qingchen silently squeezed away the flower Qianli beside Ren Xin, sat down next to Ren Xin, and casually got a crescent white handkerchief from somewhere and handed it to Ren Xin.
When the master saw Chu Qingchen handing over the handkerchief, he understood what the expression on Ren Xin's face was now with his head down.
"How so? I saw your answer sheet, very good, very good, even the old man felt excited when he read it...... "Master doesn't know how to comfort Ren Xin, this girl has been a steady child since she was a child, and she has never seen her shed a trace of tears, let alone seen her so fragile at this time."
Also, recently, she has experienced too many things, and she has endured too much in her heart, so she always needs to vent.
The master chattered and comforted Ren Xin, but when she heard Ren Xin's temperament become even more entangled, she would rather the master could point to her and say that she was not angry.
The closed eyes could no longer stop the dark tide of tears, tears breaking through the barriers, flowing uncontrollably on her cheeks. The handkerchief handed by Chu Qingchen, Ren Xin never answered, he took the handkerchief to help Ren Xin wipe his tears, he looked at his master's eyes and signaled him not to say any more, at this time, what Ren Xin needed was not any comfort, on the contrary, let her cry better to calm her mood.
Ren Xin kept her eyes closed, trying to control her emotions, but her master's words made her unable to calm down, she sobbed and hugged Chu Qingchen who was wiping her tears for her, crying wantonly, inexplicably, the people around her can make her feel at ease, it seems that with him, she doesn't need to pretend to be strong.
Chu Qingchen's clean clothes were wet, and even Ren Xin's snot rubbed into his arms, he frowned, didn't say anything, and gently patted Ren Xin's back, trying to make her feel more relaxed.
In normal times, the Master would have said that men and women would not kiss each other and separate them, but at this time, the Master looked at the two people in front of him and did not feel that there was anything inappropriate.
For a while, the environment seemed to become very quiet, and only Ren Xin's cry could be heard, the master and Hua Qianli watched silently, not knowing what to say, Chu Qingchen hugged Ren Xin and let her cry.
After a long time, Ren Xin finally calmed down, but she cried for a long time, which made her dizzy, her vision in front of her blurred, and she couldn't see real things. She wiped her face with a handkerchief and said to the people around her.
Chu Qingchen looked down at his clothes and frowned, stood up without saying a word, and went to change his clothes. Hua Qianli watched Chu Qingchen walk away quickly, and her mouth curled up with a faint arc. Standing a little tired, Hua Qianli sat down next to Ren Xin again, brought her tea and let her drink it, and Ren Xin poured a cup of tea in a big gulp. Speaking of which, it's no wonder that after crying for a long time, there has been a shortage of water for a long time.
Ren Xin looked at the master blankly, and said for a long time, "Master, I'm afraid Xin'er is going to disappoint you." ”
"How do you know you're going to disappoint me before you see the list? Xin'er, I expect you to win the championship, but I don't force it, you have endured too much recently, and I know it, but do you really not even have the courage to watch the list? This is not like you......" The master changed his previous caution and looked at Ren Xin's face becoming serious.
"I'm afraid ......" Ren Xin showed an unconfident expression for the first time in her history, she looked at her master, and was a little afraid to speak.
"Are you afraid?" The master was suddenly annoyed, he looked at Ren Xin's voice that couldn't help but be too high, "Xin'er, what are you afraid of?" This township test is not your only chance, this time, there is a next time, weishenme you retreated, you really don't even have such a little courage? There are a lot of hurdles you will encounter in your life, the township test is just a small pebble on your road ahead, if you can't kick him away, you are not my Xu student! ”
Xu Fuzi was inexplicably very excited, and Ren Xin listened to it as if someone had broken a basin of cold water in front of him, and it was cold from the outside in. The Master had never spoken to her so loudly, which made her a little difficult to accept. She looked at her master stupidly, a little incredulous. The master had a cold face, taught Ren Xin a lesson, and then got up and left without looking back.
Before leaving, the master caught a glimpse of Ren Xin's injured face, a little distressed, but the distress was distressed, he still shook his face, turned around and left, without taking a step, he tried to suppress the idea of turning back to comfort Ren Xin, and his body was a little trembling when he was excited. He muttered silently, "Xin'er, don't blame the master for looking at your face, the master really can't spoil you like this all the time......"
Ren Xin was stunned by what Master Xu said, seeing that Master was trembling with "anger", she was suddenly ashamed in her heart, lowered her head, her face was expressionless, she didn't know what to say.
Hua Qianli sat beside her, and the onlookers were clear, but he could really see the true meaning of these two sides. She pulled the handkerchief in Ren Xin's hand to help her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked her softly, "Otherwise, I'll accompany you to watch the list in a while?" The two of them always have a response. ”
"No, I'd better go by myself." Ren Xin felt that Hua Qianli was really gentle, her mind was also very delicate, and her heart was warm, so she couldn't help but let out a big smile and tell him that she was fine, "Master is right, this small stone in front of me should have been kicked away by myself, and it is strange, I have survived so many things, how can such a small thing in front of me, I don't have the courage." ”
"Huh? You're the only one in front of you, are you going to kick me away? Hua Qianli suddenly made a joke, and the stiff atmosphere that was provoked by Ren Xin and his master was instantly kicked away by him, making Ren Xin laugh.
Hua Qianli saw that she was happy, so she was relieved, and gave her a hug with pity, "Sometimes the more you care about things, the more difficult it is to muster up courage, don't force yourself too much, and occasionally indulge it, it's okay." ”
"Hmm......" Ren Xin was held by him, and his mood was very calm, "Xiexie, you are very gentle." Hugging Hua Qianli back, she turned to pull the handkerchief in Hua Qianli's hand and jumped away lightly, "This handkerchief, wait until I wash it before returning it." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Hua Qianli to speak, she ran away.
