Chapter 55: Brother Jiu
As soon as I looked up, Du Yichun also looked up in embarrassment and withdrew his gaze. Then, he said in a slurred voice: "Last night...... Thank you for your hard work. ”
I'm still wondering what else I had in that look, but I can't catch it anymore. Maybe it's my own allergies......
I smiled indifferently and said, "It's not hard, but I have something I want to ask you." ”
He walked to the tea table and sat down, and said, "Say, I know everything, and I have no end to it." ”
I grinned, sat down across from him, and said, "Did you like to drink when you were a kid?"
He frowned and looked at the sky and said, "What do you say?" Not really?"
I deliberately sold Guan Zi and said, "Oh, yes? I thought you had been an alcoholic since you were a child, or else ......."
"Or what? Alas, don't sell it. He said urgently.
"Or else...... Why did you come up with a nickname of Xiaojiu? Isn't it because you loved to drink when you were a kid?" I think that's a reasonable assumption.
He was stunned, looked into the distance, and said, "It's been a long time since anyone called me that." Then, looking at me, he asked, "How do you know this nickname?"
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't know, someone called me my mother last night, calling themselves 'Xiaojiu'." Why, exactly? Why is it called 'little wine'? Is it because your mother likes to drink?"
He glanced at me and said, "Only you would think that it is the 'wine' of drinking, and my mother has a long 'long', hoping to be with my father for a long time." “
"Oh," I nodded, "and sure enough, it's metaphorical, but strangely enough, when you say it, it's this 'wine' that comes to mind, and it's really feeling." Isn't your mother and your father forever now?"
He fell into deep thought again, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, she's dead. ”
"What? He's dead? No way? Sister Yuxuan got married that day, didn't she almost miss the auspicious time because she forgot the time to talk to your mother?" Could it be that Du Yuxuan is hiding something from the third brother again...... My mind is starting to mess up again......
He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, I didn't mean that." ”
I said solemnly: "Du Yichun, you make it clear, what is there in your family that you are hiding from the third brother and us?" Where did Sister Yuxuan go that day and miss the auspicious time? Could it be that the matter between her and the Nine Emperor Princes is real?"
"Shut up!" He stood up with a loud shout and said, "Don't destroy Xiao Xuan's innocence!" How can your family slander Xiao Xuan like this? You still say you'll treat her well? How can you treat her with sincerity if you have such a mind?"
I was taken aback by his anger, remembering Du Yuxuan's various questions before, my chest began to feel stuffy, and I couldn't suppress my anger anymore, so I jumped up and said, "Du Yichun! You don't have to be loud with me! I didn't say anything about Du Yuxuan? It's just that I have some questions about her, which is limited to me and has nothing to do with my family, especially my third brother! My third brother is wholeheartedly devoted to her, do you dare to say that she is the same? If she didn't have anything with the Nine Emperor Princes, then the Tenth Princess Jiang Yunyue wouldn't come to me for trouble. Originally, I also wanted to turn a blind eye, but when it comes to my third brother's happiness, this is what I care about the most! “
"I'm the same, Xiao Xuan's happiness is also something I care about! If you don't believe her, don't marry her!" Du Yichun's voice was a little quieter.
"What? Forced marriage? If someone else says it, forget it, but you are the Du family should know best, our prime minister does not have any persecution actions, and the two of them are happy with each other before they get married. You're my brother's best friend, don't you know him? Is he the kind of person who forces marriage?" I was furious and didn't know why he said that.
"You...... Nonsense! He gritted his teeth and walked away.
The stuffiness in my chest rose and the fatigue of the night, and although I had tried to stay awake, I couldn't hold on anymore and finally fell headlong to the ground.
Finally slept so comfortably, well, the legs were so comfortable with a hot compress. I muttered, "Well, Rulan, I'll apply it later, let me sleep more." “
My heart suddenly became clear, Rulan had already left me. I felt a sense of loss in my heart, so who is it?
When I opened my eyes, I saw Du Yichun giving my leg a warm compress. I instantly remembered everything just now, sat up and sneered: "Du Gongzi personally came to serve me, but I can't bear it." When the time comes, I will lose my temper and say that I have wronged your precious sister and said that our prime minister oppressed ......"
"I'm sorry!" He interrupted me with this one.
I was stunned, this is not his character, right? I asked uncertainly, "What did you say?"
"I'm sorry! This morning's incident is my fault, I misunderstood you. Actually, my mother didn't die, but my father later married my aunt and gave birth to other children. And my father has always disliked me, only my younger brothers, so although my mother is alive in the house, her heart is dead. It's all my fault, I can't please my father, so he will marry her, so my mother hates me, and it should be that I hate me...... My name is Xiao Jiu, but I can't let her and my father ...... forever," he muttered as he explained, his expression as innocent as a tiger with its claws folded.
I couldn't hold back my tears anymore and cried, "How can this be your fault? Your mother is so ruthless, how could she let her son bear such a big sin?"
Du Yichun sat forward gently, pulled me into his arms, patted me gently on the back and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't remember it for a long time." Don't be angry, okay? But Xiao Xuan is really innocent, please don't misunderstand Xiao Xuan, is that okay?"
I nodded violently in his arms, and explained logically: "No, in fact, I haven't mentioned those things to the third brother or anyone." You can rest assured, no matter what happens, the third brother will be on Sister Yuxuan's side. Even I can't be shaken. ”
After he said "um", he let go of me, gently stroked my left leg again, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
I was stunned and asked, "You?" You got it?"
He nodded and said, "You've been in a coma for several hours, and they've all told me about how you pulled me here, about how you helped me test the needle...... Why are you being so nice to me? I...... It's not worth it. “
I chuckled softly and said, "What's worth it or not?" Didn't you still say you liked me? But first, I don't have any intentions for you. It's just that you were also injured for me? So I'm going to save you. “
He also smiled and said, "Whatever the reason, I should thank you." ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, I still have to accept this thank you, Du Xiaojiu!" ”
He frowned and said, "This name is not good, you are younger than me, so let's call Brother Jiu." ”
"Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu......" I repeatedly tasted it, and it seemed to be okay, "Okay, I'll call you Brother Jiu in the future." ”
