Chapter 36: Living Up to Failure
Sima Ji didn't know why he did this, he saw her face full of guilt and remorse, and also saw the panic and uneasiness in her heart, she was like a lost lamb, dazed and didn't know what to do. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So he naturally stepped forward and hugged her, trying to give her warmth and shelter as much as he could.
Such a small person, who was still stiff and trembling when he first embraced him, gradually became docile, soft and warm.
"I, I'm fine." The man in his arms made a sound as thin as a gnat.
Sima Ji didn't want to let go of this warmth, he hugged her tighter, and he reluctantly let go after a while.
"Listen to me, okay?" He asked patiently, putting his hands on her shoulders.
Chen Mujin calmed down, and also felt that he was too extreme. What a bright and majestic person the storyteller said about General Wei, how could he do such a pickled thing for such a young man.
She looked up at him with some shame, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm too excited." ”
Sima Ji settled her down and poured her a cup of tea before continuing: "I can understand your feelings, but I didn't explain it to you first, so I misunderstood you." ”
"Do you remember what I said to that Inspector?" He asked.
Chen Mujin recalled for a moment and nodded yes: "You said that you had an appointment with Commander Wei." ”
"That's right, this Wei commander is Wei Shuo, General Wei's sister-in-law, I agreed with him to let him meet Xiaoshi first to see if it was really his sister's child. So, that's what I want to discuss with you. Sima Ji slowly explained the reason.
Chen Mujin was embarrassed again, since there was an agreement, why should she rob someone, she was really ...... Alas.
"I see, it seems that I misunderstood, I'm sorry." Chen Mujian apologized in a good manner.
"It's good if there is a misunderstanding, so what do you think about it?" Sima Ji still has to respect her opinion.
She just made a big fuss, and it would be inappropriate if she didn't agree at this time, and this is a major matter related to the fate of the little stone, so you must be cautious.
Thinking so, she considered it and said, "I think we can see it, but after all, this matter is related to Xiaoshi's fate, and I think it is better to ask for his consent first." If he doesn't want to, it's reluctant. ”
Sima Ji pondered for a moment and agreed: "If this is the case, then it is better to trouble you to persuade more." ”
Chen Mujin breathed a sigh of relief, she was still afraid that Sima Ji would not agree.
"Where is the trouble, if you don't bother thinking about it, big brother, I'm afraid that Xiaoshi, this kid, will have to suffer with us."
Sima Ji looked at her pure as water, and his heart swelled with complicated emotions, he clenched his hands, tried his best to suppress his feelings, turned his back, and handed the portrait into her hands.
"Hibiscus, this portrait should have belonged to the little stone, please give it to him." He said to her, but did not look her eyes.
Chen Mujin didn't notice his abnormality, she took the portrait and was overjoyed: "The little stone will definitely be pleasantly surprised!" Big brother, thank you! ”
"Thank you, let's go, I'll send you out."
Sima Ji sent her to the end of the verandah before stopping and looking at her departing back.
Hibiscus, I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth, but if you can understand my choice one day, you will naturally understand my current feelings.
"Black Fox, prepare the car." Sima Ji commanded into the air.
"Yes, master." An answer came from nowhere.
Sima Ji put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky from afar, it was already dusk, and the sun had descended with power, hanging on the horizon in yellow, dyeing the clouds and birds red.
A shallow sigh overflowed from his lips and was carried away by the wind.
Chen Mujian's footsteps were brisk, and he went directly to the courtyard where Xiaoshi lived.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Wu Hang practicing swords in the courtyard, an ordinary iron sword, which was danced by him like a divine blade, flying with streamers, and surrounded by sword energy.
"Little Master!" Chen Mujin called out loudly.
Wu Hang knew that she was coming as early as ten steps away, but the sword qi had already come out, and if he stopped rashly, he would only eat himself. After he finished this momentum, he gradually regained his breath.
"Why are you here?" He asked politely, but he had already let her into the courtyard.
"Didn't I come for you, is Little Rock there?" She was accustomed to the bad attitude of the little master, and went straight to the point.
In order to facilitate care, Wu Hang, Xu Guan'er and Xiaoshi live in the same courtyard, and the houses are separated from each other.
"What do you have in your hands in the house?" He saw the scroll in her hand at a glance, and his instincts told him that it didn't belong to her.
Chen Mujin smiled slightly mysteriously: "I won't tell you, this is a good thing!" It's not for you anyway. As he spoke, he raised it and shook it prominently.
In the next second, the scroll was in Wu Hang's hand, and the scroll suddenly unfolded, and the beauty suddenly appeared.
"Huh! Little Master, you're going too far! Chen Mujin pounced on him, trying to snatch back the scroll.
Wu Hang's face changed, grabbed Chen Mujian's collar and went back to the house, closing the door tightly!
"Don't call it yet, who gave you this painting? Isn't it Sima Ji? Wu Hang's face was serious, his knife-like eyebrows were raised high, and his eyes were as black as inky night.
Chen Mujin felt strange when he saw him so nervous, but he still nodded honestly.
"He told you to bring the painting to find the little stone?" Wu Hang asked again.
"Yes, what's wrong with you, little master? Strange, do you know the person in the painting? Chen Mujin asked him suspiciously.
Wu Hang was silent, he rolled the picture and handed it to her again.
Chen Muhibiscus was even more confused, and reached out to take the scroll, but he didn't pull it over. Wu Hang tightly grasped the other end of the scroll, and said to Chen Mujin very solemnly: "Chen Mujian, I will only say this once, you listen well, I will not say it again in the future." Sima Ji is far from being as simple as you imagined, and his identity is not simple, you don't want to trust him because he saved you, keep an eye on everything, the most sinister thing in the rivers and lakes is not the sword, but the human heart! ”
After speaking, he sent Chen Mujian out of the door, stuffed the scroll into her hand, and slammed the door in front of her.
Chen Mujin was stunned, what's wrong today? Not only is things in a hurry, but even people are not very normal, although she is amazed by the little master's insight, she still doesn't believe that Sima Ji will harm her. However, how did the little master know that this picture scroll was given by the eldest brother?
Forget it, I'll explain it to everyone when it's implemented.
She shook her head, walked to the next room, and knocked on the door.
Seeing that it was his sister who came to see him, Xiao Shi showed great enthusiasm, and kept smiling all the time, back and forth.
"Little stone, come, sit down first, my sister has something for you." Chen Mujin sat on the soft couch and patted the position next to him.
The little stone walked away as he said, and looked at the scroll in Chen Mujian's hand with great interest.
"What does my sister want to give me?"
She handed the scroll to the little stone and said with a smile, "Take it, there is a surprise!" ”
Little Stone grinned, revealing its neat teeth.
He untied the rope and unfolded the scroll on his knees little by little, and when the scroll was fully opened, he froze, as if he had been pointed, motionless.
Chen Mujin was also a little worried when he saw him like this, so he couldn't help but reach out and wrap his arms around his shoulders, lowered his head and asked softly, "Little stone, do you know this person?" ”
It took a long time for Xiao Shi to nod his head: "This is Mother." ”
He reached out and stroked the eyes of the man in the painting with his tiny fingertips.
"Mother said let me go first, she will come to me, but I waited for three days and three nights, she didn't come, sister, mother, she doesn't want me anymore."
The sound of the little stone was thin and soft, with a broken cry.
Chen Mujin took him into his arms in distress and stroked his long black hair.
"Little stone, your mother didn't want you, and no mother in the world would not want her own children. Your mother must have had some last resort, yes. She comforted the little man in her arms.
Little Stone looked up, his big eyes filled with tears, and he asked her, "Really?" Then why didn't my mother come to me? ”
Chen Mujin wiped the tears from his little face with his hand: "Maybe it's delayed, maybe it's separated, but it doesn't matter, my sister came today to tell you that Brother Ji has helped Xiaoshi find his grandfather's family, does Xiaoshi want to meet them?" ”
Xiao Shi lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said in a muffled voice, "I have never met my grandfather, and my mother said that they are far, far away from us. However, as long as my sister says to meet, Xiaoshi will go to see her. ”
Chen Mujin hugged the little stone tightly, the tip of his nose was sour, he was really a sensible child, what kind of desperate situation would his mother be in to leave such a good child.
She Chen Jiayao II is a human being and has never had parents, and she understands the pain of growing up without the love of her parents. This child trusted her so much, and gave her such great power, she must not live up to his trust!
She picked up Xiao Shi's little face, stared at his eyes seriously, and said, "Xiao Shi, my sister is very happy that you can trust my sister so much, but my sister doesn't want to force Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi can leave at any time as long as she doesn't want to, okay?" ”
Little Stone nodded earnestly and put his arms around her neck again.
As night fell, Chen Mujin appeared at the gate holding a small stone, both of them wearing black cloaks and wide hats to hide their faces in the darkness.
Sima Ji carried a lantern, sheltered in the moonlight, and his eyes as cold as the moon carried some warmth at the moment. He smiled lightly as usual and nodded to the two of them.
Chen Mujin carried Xiao Shi into the carriage first, and for some reason, she remembered what Wu Hang said in her mind, and then she turned around, looked at Sima Ji's eyes, lowered her voice and said, "Big brother, he believes in me, I can't live up to his trust." ”
Sima Ji's eyes were deep, and he leaned close to her ear, and responded in a low voice: "I will definitely live up to you." ”
The deep meaning of this sentence came unexpectedly, and she immediately became unnatural, and as soon as she turned around, she got into the carriage neatly.
Sima Ji raised a smile and followed closely.
