Li Ke opened his eyes in surprise, opened his mouth very open, and pointed at her rather rudely, "...... River......? ”
The girl, who was still dressed in palace clothes, suddenly blushed, lowered her eyes and said softly, "Third brother"
The cold voice did not change, as if it was not himself who blushed.
But it's not surprising, because the reason why she blushed was that she was being held by a stranger, not because Li Ke bumped into the fact that she was being held by someone.
"You guys?" Obviously, Li Ke also noticed this situation and couldn't help but ask more.
"Brother holding sister's hand, is there anything?" On the contrary, Li Chengdao didn't care at all, squinting comfortably - in short, she was just an awkward little girl, and her heart didn't reach that level at all.
Moreover, whether he is really related by blood or not, he will not have any scruples - in his heart, he has always been the young man in his twenties, so he can regard Li Shimin and his wife as elders, because they are more than ten years older than himself; But Li Chengqian and them can't be regarded as peers, because he is more than ten years older than them.
So she's just a little girl, a little girl of eight or nine years old. Just like in the orphanage that year, when he appeared for the first time, he couldn't show his already proficient cold face and smile skills in front of them - he didn't want to have a second me, at least, he couldn't create a second self because of himself!
Because of hate, so can't.
In a huge orphanage, there must have been a few unsociable people at first. And to some extent, Li Tang's palace is an orphanage, of course, it is still a battlefield!
In the orphanage, what he did was to make the brother who regularly allowed them to be spoiled, so that their sensible souls could vent and indulge, and at the same time comfort his own souls, which were essential to each other, at least, that he would not be alone from now on.
Deep down, he always had such thoughts. Maybe that's what she wants—that's the way she gave him to survive.
Or, after she entered his world, she couldn't stand the lonely world of these two people, so she pulled that orphanage in and decorated her home with the innocent smiling faces of the children.
In any case, there was no way he could let go.
"No, it's nothing~" Li Ke was stunned for a while when he heard this, and soon sneered and bent down, laughing very exaggeratedly, "Haha!" Hahaha......" laughed loudly for a long time regardless of his form, and then he struggled to half-squat, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, "It's really nothing!" ”
"But second brother, do you know!" Li Ke, who had laughed enough, sank his face, "Many brothers and sisters of the royal family, except for the younger days of a mother's compatriots, basically did not hold hands the rest of the time!" ”
Li Ke looked at Li Chengdao steadily, laughing at himself more than sad, "We use the reason that we are old, we should pay attention to etiquette, use him to be a concubine with her and I am not a concubine, use him to be very familiar with her and me, and even he and her concubine are not favored, etc., in short, avoid too much contact with other brothers and sisters, even if it is simple physical contact, not to mention laughing and playing!" ”
He moved his gaze to Linchuan's slightly dim little face, revealing a crazy self-deprecation: "In normal times, we ignore it, we don't feel anything wrong, and we are even proud!" ”
Being stared at by Linchuan's cold eyes, Li Ke couldn't help but turn his head, as if recalling the past: "Once out of the palace, I caught a glimpse of a pair of children of the people in the city chasing and frolicking around strangers, and then I felt how lonely I was!" I've always been alone! ”
"At that time, I used the reason that I was a royal prince to convince myself!" On the side, Li Ke gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I told myself, as a prince, I must discard these - I don't need to!" ”
"I think I've forgotten!" Li Ke closed his eyes and buried his head, his fists clenched, "But second brother, you are so naked sarcasm!" ”
"It reminds me of the feeling of self-deception, this feeling of loneliness and powerlessness!" A few tears fell silently, "I can't help but resent myself, such a self!" ”
Choked in his voice, he gradually shut up.
"Don't you have the powerlessness of childhood?" Li Chengdao smiled lightly, not mocking, but with an ethereal sense of sympathy.
Lin Chuan, who had been silent beside him, couldn't help but turn his head to him when he heard the words, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his cold eyes, and finally changed.
"No childhood?" Li Ke first glanced at it, and then laughed at himself, "The words of the second brother are always so subtle," he said, stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his sister's face, and the murmuring voice sounded at the same time, "Who knows how envious I am!" ”
"But I don't know" Seeing Linchuan dodging his face, Li Chengdao brushed away Li Ke's hand who was stunned, "I am also a person who has been walking on the wrong path, and I am not qualified to feel sorry for myself at all!" ”
"Linchuan, can you forgive the third brother?" Ignoring Li Chengdao's instructive words, Li Ke withdrew his hand, half-squatted opposite Linchuan, spread his hand in front of him, the corners of his mouth were hooked, he smiled gently, and his eyes were full of hope and encouragement.
"......" The little girl was slightly stunned, did not answer, and subconsciously turned her head, only to find that Li Chengdao's deep eyes with a mask gradually became cold, and her lips were also tightly pursed, as if she was unhappy; Thinking of his tough approach, and the bottomless eyes that seemed to see through her, the girl immediately lowered her eyes to prevent him from catching the fluctuations of her eyes.
At the same time, pretending to raise his hand calmly, feeling that the little girl's body was still trembling slightly, Li Chengdao smiled silently and bitterly, but suddenly raised his arm to grab the little hand she slowly handed over, and pulled it back the moment it was sent to Li Ke's hand.
At that moment, Li Chengdao felt Linchuan's body suddenly relax, although it was only for a moment, but it was enough.
"What does the second brother mean at this time!" Seeing this, no matter how unrestrained Li Ke was, he couldn't help but have a gloomy face, "Linchuan is not unwilling!" ”
The questioning tone and harsh demeanor made the narrow carriage cold.
As Li Shimin's son, I'm afraid the only thing in common is pride! Pride to be a child of the dragon! Therefore, they looked down on Li Chengdao from the bottom of their hearts, they became kings and lost crimes, their father was the emperor, and Li Chengdao's father was the king.
"For the sake of your own salvation, you have to force others to accept you" However, Li Chengdao squinted, and did not put anyone in his eyes in his cold words, "Even if it is your father, I will not let Linchuan accept it like this!" ”
He is not from this era, so he is not afraid of anyone!
If she doesn't want to, then it's his duty to cover it all up for her!
Even if he asked Li Ke to cooperate unconsciously, Li Chengdao would not be able to make her accept it so rudely and semi-forcedly.
Sensing that the little hand in his palm was slightly cold, Li Chengdao glanced at it vaguely, and then kept signaling to Li Ke, so that he could pay attention to the little girl who was still a little uncertain beside him.
Gradually, the oppressive atmosphere dissipated......
"Erlang, it's time to get to the town - Sun Gong has already booked an inn here" I don't know when, Qualcomm whispered a reminder in front of the car across the carriage.
"Then go ahead!" In the car, Lee Seung-do's characteristic hoarse voice was heard.
"From now on, I am Li Dao, Li Ke is Li Lin, and Linchuan is Li Chuan! Remember? ”
"Hmm!" There was no objection, Li Ke nodded clearly.
"Second brother...... "It's just that Linchuan stopped there", can't you use your real name? ”
"Can't! Our name will be recognized by those who have a heart - there are many people who want to make trouble for us" did not let go of his hand, Li Chengdao turned around, and touched her head with a smile despite the little girl's wishes, "Moreover, then you can't have a good time~"
"Oh!" Li Chuan was still a little reluctant, but he still nodded quickly, wanting to break away from his palm.
"And I hope that you can call me second brother outside, and you don't have to be so restrained—wouldn't it be nice to relax a little bit?"
"Hmm!" Li Ke quickly nodded heavily, "Second brother, is Sun Gong Sun Gongzi?" ”
"It's him" while admitting in his mouth, Li Chengdao shook his head helplessly - it seems that Li Er is not at ease, after putting him in the open, at least the curious people began to increase.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. I've heard that there's a lot to do at night in the town, so we'll take a break and we'll take a walk! ”
"Second brother, I want to go around alone" Hearing this, Li Ke bit his thin lip lightly, and looked directly at him, as if provocative.
"......" but Li Chengdao was stunned, and finally reacted, "Well, pay attention to safety!" ”
Although I really want this, I don't know if this is her opponent!
If the previous one was a show, and this time it was just an excuse to go around alone, then it would be about the same.
I don't know how far she has grown, the third child of the Li family, who is still a little young, is not necessarily his opponent, and if he accidentally becomes another Fang Xuanling, he will be a little sorry for Li Shimin.
What a headache!
In a moment of thought, the carriage had stopped.
"It's here!" Outside the car, Qualcomm's voice was heard.
"Let's get out of the car," Li Chengdao said, took off his robe and put it on the little girl, and then opened the door first and jumped out of the car.
Turning around, the little girl also got out of the carriage and looked at the half-human tall carriage, a trace of hesitation flashed in her cold eyes.
Seeing this, Li Dao smiled and stretched out his hand, but when the little girl saw his hand stretched out, she immediately jumped down and didn't give him a chance.
"Boom!" The sound of the little girl's head slamming on the ground was very loud, but it frightened Li Ke, who had just come out.
Li Dao understood that the little girl was afraid that he would take her off the car on his own initiative. With a chuckle, he lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, he was already facing his face, and naturally took her hand that had shrunk behind him, "Third brother, hurry up" and turned to leave.
And Lin Chuan, who had been paying attention to avoiding him, found that his outstretched hand was trembling slightly for a few seconds. He pretended to be nothing and came over to take his hand, his bright eyes flashed with a little doubt, and he subconsciously did not struggle, and followed his footsteps. Behind them, Li Lin also hurriedly got out of the car to catch up.
"Erlang, Sun Gong has only booked three rooms, one of which is divided into an inner and outer room" When they walked into the inn, Gao Tong, who entered the inn one step ahead of them, whispered softly in Li Chengdao's ear.
"You ......" Li Dao's eyes turned from Qualcomm to Li Lin, and immediately shook his head, his pupils turned slightly, and then hooked the corners of his mouth, quickly glanced down at the little girl, and then raised his head with a smile, "Li Lin and you are one room, and I am two people with Chuan'er~"
"Second brother!?" Li Ke, who had just entered the door, happened to hear this sentence and frowned slightly: Why is this second brother so nonsense sometimes?
After listening to his words, Linchuan on the side immediately wanted to retract his hand, but was stopped by Li Chengdao, who had been prepared, at the same time.
"It's not impossible for my brother and sister to live in the same room" Li Dao deliberately glanced at Li Ke and said seriously.
"But ......" retorted Li Ke had a headache, even if it was to provoke Linchuan, he didn't need to do this, right?
Hearing this, Linchuan's weak body finally couldn't help but tremble.
"Oh~" Li Chengdao deliberately lengthened his tone as if he remembered something.
Seeing this, the two brothers and sisters of the Li family breathed a sigh of relief - they finally reacted!
"I forgot to say - that room has an inside and an outside!" After explaining like this, seeing that Li Ke still wanted to say something, Li Chengdao turned his head and waved his hand, full of indifference, "If Chuan'er can't marry because of this in the future, then I'll marry her."
Hearing this, Li Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head - this second brother, dare to say anything! Fortunately, this is not in the palace, otherwise it would be a bloody storm if it was known by that group of old scholars.
And Linchuan, who had been silent, had a little pale little face that turned red instantly, raised her head and glared at him fiercely-this was already the most angry she had ever shown in front of everyone......
