091: Not a Good Man (2)
Nalan Jinxiu's chest was twisted, and she couldn't even breathe in pain, it turned out that her heart would still hurt! She held the trunk of the tree with one hand, clasped her chest tightly with the other, leaned against the tree, her face was pale, and cold sweat fell drop by drop. She wanted to cry, but she stubbornly raised her face and let the tears flow back.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? It's okay!" Ji Xiang Ruyi is young and has experienced very few things, and when he sees his master's appearance, he can't cry anymore.
Their voices were neither loud nor small, but Ji Hongye's ears could be heard unusually sharp. Like two tiny knives, they kept churning in their ears, and the pain went straight to the temples on both sides.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't know herself, and the last sentence she said to Long Yi was crying, and she didn't know that Ji Hongye could hear it clearly in the house. He had just been suppressed by the Lin Yuan Zhengxing needle, and rushed out regardless of the obstacles. He just wanted to see her from afar, he was afraid that she would never see her again when she left.
His eyes were still a little blurry, and he couldn't see them so clearly, but he could see her eyes closed, and her face was pale. He wanted to step forward and hold her, but his feet seemed to be on the ground, and he couldn't move half a step, so he could only look at her in a daze.
"I'm fine. Nalan Jinxiu's voice was as calm as usual, and he couldn't hear the slightest abnormality: "Let's go back!"
Then Ji Hongye saw that she suddenly fell, motionless, and Ji Xiang Ruyi panicked to pick her up, and called her girl one after another. He was instantly confused, and he had no consideration in his heart, strode over, took her into his arms, and called her anxiously: "Ah Jin, what's wrong with you......?"
Seeing that she had fainted, Ji Hongye had no choice but to pick her up and walk back. Before Lin Qingyang left, he cut her pulse for her, and sighed: "It's okay, the little girl is too affectionate, she is in a hurry, just sleep and wake up." ”
Sending Lin Qingyang away, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her. The psychological defense line that has been done for so many days has collapsed little by little, collapsed and built up again, and so on. The heart, like being fried in an oil pan, does not have a moment of peace.
After a long time, the sky gradually darkened, Ji Hongye lit a few more candles, he remembered, Ah Jin was afraid of the dark. Nalan Jinxiu woke up leisurely, she looked at Ji Hongye, and she had nothing to say for a while.
"Awake, what's wrong?" he asked softly.
Nalan Jinxiu shook his head lightly and said, "No." ”
The two were silent opposite each other, and after a long time, she called the third brother, then bit her lower lip, and stopped talking.
Ji Hongye looked at her unusually pale face, and pain slowly seeped into her heart. He wanted to coax her, just like she usually did when she was petty, but in the end he still said: "It's getting late, I'll send you back!"
His tone was light, his eyes were very calm, Nalan Jinxiu's heart was cold, and he asked a little hoarsely: "You also want me to go back?"
"You have reached the age of Ji, and it is indeed not suitable to stay in the Ji family anymore, which is also what my uncle and grandmother meant. Ji Hongye's face was very calm, he was as gentle and elegant as ever, it was a mask that belonged to Ji Sangongzi, it was the same for anyone, and there was no other emotion.
Nalan Jinxiu smiled faintly, and her tone was as calm as if she was gossiping with him: "I understand, you don't need to send me, I can go back by myself, you should rest early after a busy day!"
She smiled very lightly, and belonged to the kind of polite and detached strangers. Ji Hongye's heart suddenly suffocated, the sourness and pain spread, and he said in a low voice: "Ah Jin......"
Actually, what he wanted to say was, Ah Jin, don't laugh like this, I watched it, and I felt distressed!
Ji Hongye's words in her heart Nalan Jinxiu seemed to hear it, and she wanted to reassure him, so she tried hard to squeeze a smile. This smile is no different from her usual happy smile, sweet and pretty. Then she got up and got out of bed, leaned over to put on her shoes, and walked to the door. She can't stay here any longer, and she can't let the third brother see her crying.
Ji Hongye stood up with her and called again: "Ah Jin." ”
Nalan Jinxiu's body froze, she didn't dare to look back, afraid that she would not be able to control it, afraid that she would beg him. Emotional matters should be on both sides, no matter what reason one party can't continue, the other party should also let go and not do more entanglement. She took a deep breath and quickened her pace to leave.
Reason told Ji Hongye that he couldn't pull it, but his body's reaction seemed to be faster. He took a step forward and hugged her from behind, his eyebrows burning with burning eyes. Ah Jin, I want to keep you by my side and want you to be my wife, but I can't afford it......
I rejected the princess, the emperor will definitely not give up, if you get involved in this matter again, he will definitely feel that the servants of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion are arrogant, and the murderous intent will not be suppressed. Zhenbei Wangfu is your home, even if I do everything I have, I will definitely protect it. I want you to be carefree, I want you to be safe and happy, this is the promise I have given you. I have only promised you in this life, and I will keep it all my life.
Nalan Jinxiu's tears slipped uncontrollably, slowly turned around in his arms, looked up at him, and said, "Third brother, do you know what I want?"
It was the first time in the two years they had been together that she had asked such desperation. Ji Hongye never knew that one person's tears could make another person's heart cut like a knife, and even breathing was painful.
"I know. He held her tighter, afraid that if he let go, he would no longer be able to hold on.
"You know?" she asked, waiting for his answer, and if he wanted to keep her, he would have told her.
Ji Hongye's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't see a trace of light. He slowly let go of the person in his arms, unwilling to let go, but had to let go. Nalan Jinxiu looked down at the arm that slowly slipped from her waist, and her heart slowly sank, she knew that it was impossible. The third brother is not her lover, loneliness is fate, regardless of the past life or this life.
She slowly closed her eyes, opened them again, and the tears disappeared, leaving her face as white as paper. She pushed the door open and walked forward mechanically.
The road was long, dark, and seemed to have no end.
She smiled self-deprecatingly, it turned out that everything was her own passion. The third brother was kind to her, and she thought that he liked her, just as she liked him. In fact, he may not like her much, otherwise he wouldn't give her an explanation.
She took a deep breath, bit her lip tightly, forced back the tears that were still rushing out of her eyes, and silently said to herself in her heart: Nalan Jinxiu can't cry, your tears have flowed enough, and there is nothing in this world worthy of you crying for.
Look up and look at the sky.
The starry sky is shining brightly, and the sky is full of stars flowing quietly, which is indescribably gorgeous, but she is destined to walk alone, and this life is still the same as the previous life. The third brother can't be her reliance, because he cares about so many things, in front of the family and the country, the world, and the position of power, what can she be considered to be?
It turned out that she had been relying on him for the past few years. Although there are hesitations, fears, and times when she can't find the direction, as long as there is him, she will be very relieved, as if no matter how dark the road ahead, there is always a bright light waiting for her at the end of the road. Now the light went out suddenly, and she was like a child abandoned by adults, left alone in the dark.
She remembered the scene in her previous life, when she was alone after the fall of the Taifu Mansion. It was cold, painful, and scared, but there was no one to help her, so she could only hold on until she couldn't hold it anymore and chose to die.
Nalan Jinxiu walked all the way back and entered the house, and Ji Xiang Ruyi was frightened when she saw her. She didn't want to pay attention to anyone, didn't want to say anything, took off her shoes, and curled up tightly in the quilt. She wanted to sleep for a while, tomorrow, maybe tomorrow everything would be fine......
Ji Hongye watched Nalan Jinxiu turn around and go out, his thin shoulders trembling slightly. He reached out to grab her, to tell her, don't go, stay with him. He thought she would say yes, but what could he bring her?
Will he marry the princess, and when the princess enters the door, where will he leave Ah Jin, or will he be kept outside, like everyone else? How can this be, Ah Jin, such a proud woman, everything she has given should be the most complete. And he just couldn't give it to her.
He followed behind her, not far away. It wasn't until she entered his yard that he stood at the door for a while, and then went in. The people in Nalan Jinxiu's courtyard naturally knew the third young master, so they didn't stop him.
Ji Xiang Ruyi came out and saw the person standing there at the window, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The third young master has always been very kind to the girl, but now he is the one who makes the girl sad so much. They were united with the girl, and they hated him, but he was such a gentle and elegant person, and he was very polite to them, how could they bear to speak ill of him?
"Third young master, the girl has already fallen asleep, please go back!"
Ji Hongye looked at the two girls and muttered, "I'll be here with her for a while, just don't let her know." ”
It's not good to say anything about auspicious Ruyi, after all, people are the masters. They went to rest, and Ji Hongye kept standing in front of her window. He looked at it obsessively, and those eyes, which were originally very bright, were full of heart-wrenching pain.
In the dead of night, the air was particularly quiet, and the slightest movement became unusually clear. Everyone was asleep, but there was a very low sobbing sound in Nalan Jinxiu's room.
Ji Hongye was deaf and clear when he was a child, and later, he was found to have eye diseases. Ji Yao was originally a businessman who traveled from south to north, visited famous doctors, and finally came to the conclusion that it could not be cured.
He always knew that he would lose his sight one day, and after a long time, he became indifferent. Occasionally, if he doesn't rest well, his eyes will always blur, and because of this, his ears are extremely sensitive, and no movement can escape.
He listened to Nalan Jinxiu crying, and his heart was distressed. yes, how could it not hurt, it was the girl he held on the tip of his heart. He wanted her to stop crying, but he didn't do anything but stare at the window.
On this night in early spring, the people in the house cried all night, and the people outside the house also stood outside the window all night......
