Chapter 116: Gifts
Liu'er didn't come back immediately as she said, but didn't go until Chunxue helped her fill all the medicines, only to see her enter the kitchen in disgrace.
"Thank you, Sister Chunxue." She wiped her tears and cried. "They...... Whining...... They're too bullying......"
"Why bother knowing that they are not easy to mess with." Chunxue helplessly helped her pull away the few handfuls of hair that had fallen out. Although Fujin is kind, the girls around him are all sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and none of them are easy to get along with, and little girls like Liu'er are afraid that they are often bullied. But then again, isn't that what this kind of place is? If you are high and low, you can do whatever you want, and if you don't have grace, everyone will trample on it......
"I just hate them for being trampling people, they are all slaves, who is more noble than whom!" Liu'er spat hatefully on the ground.
Seeing that she was pitiful, Chunxue kindly helped her straighten her clothes and comforted her a few more words.
"Pack it up and bring the medicine to Fu Jin," she said, "or if it gets cold, you'll have to be scolded again." β
"Hmm." Liu'er sobbed and nodded, her eyes red like a rabbit, "Sister Chunxue isn't going yet?" β
Chunxue looked at the bowl in front of her, her expression darkened, "I'm leaving." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chunxue held the tray, stared at Xiyan's hand with a wrong gaze, and choked up, "Gege...... Think again...... Once you drink this medicine, you can't go back......"
Xiyan's hand holding the medicine bowl had turned white because he was too hard.
"I know what I'm doing." Her voice trembled and firm, and she raised her head and drank the medicine.
"Gege-" Chunxue covered her mouth, for fear that she would cry.
It's so bitter!
"Go down." There was no sadness or joy on Xiyan's face, just a calm wave of his hand.
"Gege...... Let the slave accompany you. "Spring snow wept lowly.
"I'm fine, really." She smiled numbly. "I just want to be alone for a while."
"But if it's ......" Chunxue choked, "it hurts a lot later......"
"That's what I deserve." She tugged at the corners of her mouth blankly. "You're tired today, go ahead, go and get some sleep, and when you wake up, you forget about everything......"
Yes, I forgot.
"Gege...... Be. Chunxue stood up, looked at her sadly, and turned to retreat.
She thought she was going to be devastated.
But no.
Maybe because she never got anything, she didn't care about losing it at all.
She just made one, the best decision for everyone.
Little by little, time passed. Xiyan still sat straight like a stone statue.
What was she waiting for?
Waiting for that heart-wrenching pain? Or are you waiting for someone to sue her, when all this is just a nightmare?
Even she couldn't tell.
She only knew that the child she had been longing for - a crying, laughing, and milky woman would squeeze a quilt with her every lonely night, and let her hug the child she coaxed...... She couldn't have it anymore......
Xiyan sat in a daze for a long, long time, until there was a commotion outside to say goodbye, and she came back to her senses in a daze.
It was he who came.
She thought to herself.
Why did he come at this time? She really didn't want him to see her wolf bèi at this time. But in my heart, there is a faint expectation.
She wants him to be around! The decision was too heavy for her to breathe. She needed someone to share with her - even if that person wouldn't know anything......
"What's wrong?" Li Xuan came in with a smile. "What's the point of being alone?"
"No," she pulled herself up and walked over to him, "It's just that I've been a little tired and tired these days." As he spoke, he served him to take off his cloak.
"You're weak, so you have to pay more attention on weekdays." He looked at her with concernβhis face was not good.
"Hmm." She replied, with a meek smile on her face.
The faint smell of medicine in the room has not completely dissipated. He couldn't help frowning, "Just took the medicine?" β
"Oh," Xiyan lowered her eyes and said softly, "I often have trouble sleeping at night these days, and I drank a bowl of soothing soup." β
Seeing that her spirit was really poor and she didn't even want to say more, Li Xuan simply hooked her into his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder.
I'm getting thinner and thinner than a few days ago......
"You've lost a lot lately," he said distressedly, "and if there's anything you tell them to do, you can't do everything yourself." β
"I understand." She forced a smile. One hand was placed on his hands around his waist, and the other hand touched his cheek.
It was surprisingly cold.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Li Xuan turned around her. "Don't you be sick again?" He hurriedly reached out and touched her forehead. It's okay, it's not hot.
"It's fine." Xiyan shook her head. "It's like this in winter, don't worry."
"Since you know that you can't help it, don't you know how to hold a hand stove?" While he reproached viciously, he carefully picked up her hand and rubbed it in his palm. "You girls are all shit, too!"
"Don't blame them, I don't like to use them." Xi Yan silently looked at his serious appearance, and his eyes couldn't help but redden.
Li Xuan lowered his head and didn't notice it, he only warmed her up for a while before asking, "Does this feel better?" β
"Hmm...... It's much better......" She held back her tears, and watched his movements greedily for a long time before she said softly, "I'm going to see Sister Ning Ruo today...... The little brother who touched her belly moved. β
"Really?" He replied lightly, as if he didn't want to talk more.
"Sister Ning Ruo said that the little brother was greeting me. You...... I'm sure you've encountered it too, right? She asked deliberately in a brisk tone.
"Well......" he froze, looking slightly uncomfortable, "There have been a few times." β
He didn't want to talk to Xiyan about the child. Originally, it was because she felt that she didn't care much about herself, and she was a little angry, but then she was inexplicably weak-hearted. In short, I just don't want to mention it in front of her.
"Oh...... You must be happy, right? β
ββ¦β¦ Well. "I can feel a new life growing up little by little...... For him, who is a father, he is naturally happy.
"That's good." She smiled quietly, not caring at all.
She really didn't care at all...... He thought frustratedly.
The little hand in the palm of her hand finally became hot, and Li Xuan let go of her hand.
"I'm here today because I have something good to give you." He tried to put aside the loss just now, and smiled and took out a delicate brocade box from his sleeve.
I saw that this box was gorgeous and abnormal, and even the hollow pattern on it was ingenious, and at a glance, I knew that it was anything but ordinary.
"What is this?" She looked at him inquiringly.
"Open it and take a look." He urged with a smile.
