Chapter 136: When I Was a Child
Song Anle finally relieved a little in Song Xiaojing's affirmative words, "If you think so, I'm relieved." β
Song Xiaojing smiled, after a short greeting between the sisters, Song Anle left from Song Xiaojing before the evening came, she was unconsciously, she had wandered in front of Song Cheng's courtyard, but she didn't walk in for a long time.
Song Cheng was actually not in the courtyard, because he went to discuss things with Song Qi, so it was getting dark, so he hurried back to his courtyard, but not far away, he saw Song Anle facing his courtyard, secretly sad.
Song Cheng didn't immediately bother her, but looked at her from a distance, from her delicate side profile, imagining her beautiful face, mixed with melancholy and amazement, such Song Anle, made him so distressed that he couldn't breathe, he had sworn that he would protect her, but when it came to this, he couldn't say that she was guarding under his wings.
Song Cheng couldn't give himself too much space to blame himself, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his own impulsiveness, and put the Song family in dire straits, so he walked up at the right time and called "Anle." β
When Song Anle heard the sound and looked, Song Cheng had already walked in front of her, she wanted to avoid her complicated feelings, but it seemed a little too late, so she could only smile reluctantly, "You're back." β
Song Cheng nodded, "Why don't you stand outside and not go in?" β
Song Anle's dull and colorless face showed a touch of gentleness, and she said softly: "I also just arrived, and I happened to meet here." β
"Let's go and sit down."
Song Anle nodded, followed Song Cheng's side, and the brother and sister walked in together.
The place chosen by the brother and sister to talk will always be Song Cheng's study, Song Anle did not hesitate any longer, but directly handed the imperial list in front of Song Cheng, although Song Cheng was unknown, he still took the imperial list and opened it casually.
"It's too much;" Song Cheng slapped the imperial list in his hand on the table angrily, "It's just too deceitful." β
"Ah Cheng, when did you become so reckless." Song Anle locked his eyebrows with an angry face, you must know that the imperial list represents the person who made the list, and now the imperial list is issued by Gao Yuankang, Song Cheng's actions are undoubtedly beating the prince's body, if it is seen by others, it is a big crime to kill the head.
"Comfort;" Song Cheng still couldn't be angry and said: "Gao Yuanshang is really too much to do this, I won't just allow it, he played with us in applause." β
Song Cheng's anger was not only about Gao Yuanshang's actions, but also about his own absurd behavior towards Song Xiaojing, he had no way to fight with the prince, so what he hated most was his own uselessness.
"Ah Cheng;" Song Anle said with a solemn face: "This matter is not necessarily Gao Yuanshang's intention, you should know that as early as when Qing'er and Gao Yuanshang met, Xiao Jing and the five princes already had a consensus, but for various reasons, they didn't show it; Moreover, in this election, the fifth prince was also worried that Xiao Jing would be elected to the palace, so he ordered Xiao Jing as soon as possible to avoid worries. β
"Are you so sure it has nothing to do with Gao Yuanshang?" Song Cheng's tone was obviously questioning, because he suddenly remembered Song Xiaojing's words, and he was worried that Song Anle was really implicated in Gao Yuanshang's unreasonable connection.
Song Anle also heard Song Cheng's questioning, but she didn't blame Song Cheng, because he didn't know about the ambiguity between Song Xiaojing and Gao Yuankang, so it was normal for him to push the finger at Gao Yuanshang.
"I don't trust him, I trust my own judgment."
"But I don't believe this is Gao Yuanyasu's intention;" Song Cheng's tone was firm, but then softened, "Besides, Xiao Jing may not be able to accept it sincerely." β
Song Cheng's last words were completely unconfident, because Song Xiaojing's transformation had completely exceeded his imagination, but Song Xiaojing's unchaste body made him have to use various reasons to avoid her from making mistakes.
"Xiao Jing's side I have already tried to ask, she has no other reaction except to obey, and she has also given up her insistence on you, I just want to save a brother and sister relationship." The reason why Song Anle hesitated for a moment was because he was worried that it would hurt Song Cheng's self-esteem, after all, he was the head of the family, and he couldn't keep her by his side, which was already a big blow to him, and now he was going to lose a woman who loved him deeply, he was somewhat unacceptable.
"I'll go find her." Song Cheng got up and left as he spoke, Song Anle grabbed him in time, she didn't get up, she just said seriously: "Ah Cheng, don't embarrass yourself anymore, it's too late." β
Song Cheng tensed his facial nerves, and a deep expression on his face, which also stagnated on his face, he didn't want to change anything, and he knew that he couldn't change it at all, he just didn't want Song Xiaojing to take this risk, but the matter had come to this, even if he told Song Anle that the relationship between him and Song Xiaojing, she must be powerless.
Song Cheng returned to his seat weakly and depressedly, his low mood had already prompted him to be unable to disguise his strength, so he just sat depressed.
Song Anle gently patted Song Cheng on the shoulder twice, and she said gently: "Ah Cheng, some things are arranged by God, you don't have to blame yourself for this, besides, it's just the beginning, I believe that God will favor everyone, so you have to be strong, otherwise how can I rest assured that the Song family will be handed over to you." β
Song Anle still can't feel at ease, not because Song Cheng will be impulsive, but because Song Cheng is stubborn and stubborn, for these two things, it can be said that it has shaken the comfort of the Song family for decades, and Song Cheng is also a famous figure, how can he let others shake this comfort, but unfortunately this person is a prince who is unparalleled in the world, and what Song Anle is most worried about is that Song Cheng will ignore this.
"Anle, don't worry;" Song Cheng said firmly: "I promise not to fall like this, you are the guardian of my life, not only will I not live up to my father's will, but I will also fulfill their unfulfilled wishes, please believe in me and give me a little time." β
Song Cheng did not ignore Gao Yuanshang's identity, but refused to accept the slaughter of others, he has strong power, and also has strong strength, so he not only wants to rescue his relatives, but also to consolidate his own power and continue to strengthen it, just to protect his family.
Even if Song Anle was worried about Song Cheng's impulsiveness, but when he was depressed and helpless, how could she hit him deeply, and what he did was completely for himself, and she was only glad to have such a relative, so she said with a touched face: "I believe in you, even if there is no longer trust in this world, I will firmly believe that you are my patron saint, my most beloved brother." β
Song Cheng took Song Anle in his arms, he really tried his best, and he really felt the sadness of separation, so there were crystal tears rolling in his starry eyes.
Song Anle snuggled in Song Cheng's arms, recalling the scene when she was a child, she always liked to pester Song Cheng like this, and then lay in his arms, occasionally telling what she had experienced over the years, and occasionally just lying quietly, even then, she could feel extremely comfortable.
Now that this comfort is about to go away, she doesn't know if she can still find it in this life, and she doesn't know if there will be another person in this life who can protect her without asking for anything in return, like Song Cheng.
The brother and sister waited quietly, and unconsciously, when Song Anle woke up again, it was already the morning sun, because of the dazzling light, she rubbed her sour eyes, but found that Song Cheng was still in front of her, and then found that she was still lying on Song Cheng's lap like last night.
"Brother" Song Anle got up, Xu is confused consciousness, she looked at Song Cheng with an ignorant face, but in her clear consciousness, she remembered that she was chatting last night, and fell asleep in a daze.
"Did you sleep well?" Although Song Cheng's face was a little haggard, the smile on his face was extremely sincere and charming.
"I'm asleep." Song Anle was a little embarrassed, in the past, when he was a child, he was so naΓ―ve, and he didn't want such a big person to be so childish.
Song Cheng pinched Song Anle's cheek dotingly, and said with a smile: "And I sleep very dead." β
"Why didn't you wake me up, so you didn't sleep all night." Song Anle was reproachful, she didn't want Song Cheng to spoil her so unscrupulously, this habit was undoubtedly a pressure on her.
She is worried that when looking for a better half, she will involuntarily screen the mate selection criteria with Song Cheng as an example, if that is the case, she is afraid that she will not be able to find a suitable other half in this life.
Song Cheng said half-jokingly: "Watching you sleep is more restorative than I sleep for three days." β
"Don't be poor." Song Anle pretended to be displeased and pouted.
"Alright, get up and freshen up, I'll have your favorite breakfast prepared." Song Cheng got up as he spoke, and did not forget to help Song Anle up.
Song Anle nodded 'um', if it weren't for the accidental sleep here last night, the brother and sister almost forgot how long ago they got up in the morning and had breakfast together.
After Song Anle simply freshened up, the breakfast that Song Cheng ordered was put on the table, and Song Cheng was also sitting at the table waiting for her.
Looking back on those useless and cherished times, she sighed in her heart, and there are always moments of imminent loss, but when you really want to cherish, it means that you are about to lose.
The brothers and sisters happily had a rich breakfast, and their mood was very relaxed, as if in this world, only the two of them survived, there was no trouble, no love, only you are happy, I am happy.
It's a pity that good times are always very short, or in other words, a good one is always found to be precious when it is about to be lost, maybe this is the law set for the regret in people's hearts.
