593: Lost
Ji Boyan finally gave up flying kites, not because of the heat, but because he had a habit of cleanliness and couldn't stand the stickiness on his body. He went back to his yard to bathe, and then changed into clean clothes.
During this period, he kept Nalan Jinxiu with him, and Ji Hongye didn't leave. The child went into the house, and the maid finished pouring the tea and left, and the husband and wife looked at each other and did not speak.
The air was quiet and awkward. Nalan Jinxiu is really afraid of this kind of atmosphere, whenever this happens, she will be restless, and the only one who can make her like this is Ji Hongye.
Ji Hongye was as calm as ever, even if he didn't speak, or did nothing, he could sit quietly without being cramped at all.
Nalan Jinxiu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, feeling that she couldn't show her unease. So even though there were nails on the chair, she couldn't help but sit still.
It wasn't until Ji Boyan came out that he saw that these two people were still maintaining their previous postures, and they were obviously stunned for a moment. He walked up to Ji Hongye and whispered, "Father, you haven't had dinner with me for a long time." ”
"Let's eat together today, what do you want to eat?" Ji Hongye's eyebrows were very soft, which made Nalan Jinxiu have an illusion, as if time had turned back, and they were still the same as before.
"You can eat anything, as long as you can be with your father. "Ji Boyan is still young, although he is in accordance with Ruyi's instructions, he wants to match Ji Hongye and Nalan Jinxiu. But sometimes it's forgotten, like now.
Nalan Jinxiu saw that this child didn't seem to think much about her, and there was a faint melancholy in her heart. After all, she gave birth, and only she knows how difficult it is when she is pregnant. The pain of childbirth and the risks it took are as clear as yesterday when I think about it.
Ji Hongye subconsciously looked at her, and saw that she was looking at the ground with her head half-down, completely ostriche-like, as if the conversation between their father and son was not attractive to her.
He looked at her silently for a while, and when he saw that she was still in this position, he couldn't help but say, "What have you been staring at the ground? Could it be that there is gold on it?"
Nalan Jinxiu withdrew from her thoughts at this time, and she shook her head. Soon she realized that it was wrong, so obviously quipped, could she take it as true?
Ji Hongye looked at her awkwardly, but his heart was more comfortable. In the past, she was very timid in front of him, and she had to be taken care of everywhere, and if she did something wrong, she would look like a child who listened to the training.
I don't know when she became independent, and she naturally had an irresistible momentum. The subordinates around her no longer dared to refuse her, and even trembled sometimes. Along with him, she never showed weakness.
Of course, his original intention was not to let her show weakness, and husband and wife should support each other. But it's not good for a woman to be too strong, you can overcome rigidity with softness, but you must not be tough. Otherwise, the man's self-esteem will not be able to stand it.
He used to think that he was not that kind of layman, and he could see emotional things. Since it's someone you like, it's okay to indulge some. But the previous conversation made him feel awkward, and even suspected that they really couldn't go back to the past.
It is said that time is a good medicine, and he has enough patience to wait. Wait for her to change her mind, and wait for their family of three to be reunited. He has had enough of this kind of detached life.
"Let's go. Ji Hongye took Ji Boyan's hand, and saw that Nalan Jinxiu was still sitting on the chair and did not move, so he said in a calm tone: "No matter what you have to be busy with, don't forget that you are his mother, and you still have to fulfill your responsibilities." ”
Nalan Jinxiu could only get up, thinking that the left and right were for the sake of the child, and the embarrassment would be embarrassing. As she expected, the meal was very depressing, and when she finally finished eating, she suspected that she might have indigestion.
Who knew that Ji Boyan didn't let her go after the meal, saying that he was going to play chess with her. Playing chess, that is Nalan Jinxiu's shortcoming, no matter how the third brother makes her, she has never won.
She was going to refuse, but when she saw Ji Boyan's watery eyes, she couldn't bear it again. Thinking that this little guy was only six years old, and his chess skills would definitely not be able to catch up with his father.
However, she has a deeper worry, that is, if she loses to Ji Boyan, it is estimated that she will not be able to raise her head in the future. After all, she can't even get off a child, and even if she doesn't spread it, her own self-esteem can't stand it.
"Let's play Go. "Ji Boyan has already brought the chess box.
Nalan Jinxiu shook her head, she lost even more badly in Go. With a hint of luck, he asked, "Will you be able to play chess?"
"Yes. Ji Boyan nodded: "Does my mother like to play chess?"
Nalan Jinxiu really wanted to tell him that she didn't like either, but in the end she chose chess. She regretted it at the beginning, Ji Boyan was really like his father, and he even learned to play chess.
It's not that his chess skills can catch up with his father, but the means of playing chess are very aggressive, with a kind of smooth neatness.
Compared with him, Nalan Jinxiu is much more indecisive. And she was a little worried, if she easily won this child, would it affect his self-esteem?
She's been letting him, but she doesn't dare to make it too obvious. As a result, let it go and let it go and lose yourself. When she lost, her face was not good-looking, she pursed her lips and said, "How can you be like this, you little brat, I let you do it, and you don't know how to let me." ”
Ji Boyan looked confused, he only thought about winning when he played chess, and he didn't notice that people were letting him. So at this time, he felt that Nalan Jinxiu was probably cheating.
Although he was young, he read a lot. At this time, he was sitting in a precarious position, and all he was thinking about in the book of the sages: Only women and villains are difficult to raise.
Sure enough, it's troublesome to play chess with women, and if they win, they will cheat. At this time, he thought of Ning Yanqi again, she always smiled even if she lost, and praised him for his good chess skills.
"Otherwise, if we play another game, my mother won't let me go this time. Ji Boyan didn't have a little temper on his face, and he looked very polite.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to go down, she felt that she might not be able to win. Losing once can be said to be accidental, but losing again is a big deal.
She is not so concerned about winning or losing, even if she plays chess, it is to pass the time and have fun. But if you lose to your son, it has nothing to do with having fun.
Seeing that she shook her head and refused, Ji Boyan didn't force it, but only said to Ji Hongye respectfully: "Mother refuses to go down with her son, or father wins it back for mother!"
Ji Hongye didn't shirk and walked over slowly. Nalan Jinxiu was about to get up, but he pressed his shoulder, and he whispered: "Don't go far, just watch from the side." ”
"What's so nice about playing chess. Nalan Jinxiu complained lightly.
"Playing chess is also a science, and if you don't play well, you have to observe others, so that you can improve your chess skills. Ji Hongye said lightly.
Nalan Jinxiu thought that he was standing next to him and watching, but who knew that he was still held down by Ji Hongye. His voice was soft, and he whispered, "Just sit here and watch." ”
It was an ordinary sentence, because his voice was low and his tone was very soft, and it sounded like a lover whispering. And this distance seems to be too close, Nalan Jinxiu can even clearly see the pores on his skin.
She felt uncomfortable for a moment, trying to turn her cheeks to the side to get away from him. He suddenly kissed her on the cheek, and as soon as he touched it, it parted, like a dragonfly touching water.
"You, you, what are you doing?" Nalan Jinxiu's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, doing this kind of thing in front of Ji Boyan, it was difficult for her not to blush.
"Don't be afraid, he didn't see it. Ji Hongye's voice was lowered, and she pulled her fingers.
Nalan Jinxiu subconsciously went to look at Ji Boyan and saw that he was leaning over to straighten out his trouser legs, and then slowly straightened up. She let out a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he hadn't seen the scene just now.
"Was my mother blinded by the wind and sand?" asked Ji Boyan.
Nalan Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why he asked such a thing.
"Didn't your father blow your eyes just now?"
Nalan Jinxiu slammed in her ears, she smiled awkwardly and nodded: "I was blinded by the wind and sand." In order to behave realistically, she also rubbed her eyes.
"But there's no wind at all, where does the wind and sand come from?" Ji Boyan's face was deep, as if this was a headache that he couldn't figure out.
Nalan Jinxiu was really speechless by his anger, what kind of child is this, won't he finish talking in one breath? she kept following him, and now she fell into the pit.
Fortunately, Ji Hongye still had a little conscience, and seeing her cramped appearance, he still couldn't bear it, so he said to Ji Boyan: "Come, play chess." ”
Since he was going to play chess, Ji Boyan naturally wouldn't worry about this problem anymore, and he concentrated on playing chess in a blink of an eye. It's a pity that Ji Hongye never thought about how to let him, but did his best.
Before Ji Boyan took two steps, he was already given a heavy artillery. This situation can only occur in the case of chess novices, and it is so fast that it can be said that it is impossible to prevent it.
Nalan Jinxiu watched from the sidelines, and felt that the third brother was too ruthless, and he didn't leave any affection. Dealing with a child is also so ruthless, aren't you afraid that Ji Boyan will be hit?
When he played chess with her in the past, it could be said that he gave her enough face. She never felt that the third brother was letting her, but looking at the level of others today, if she didn't let her, she would definitely end up with Ji Boyan.
Thinking like this, her heart was a little loose. The third brother is such a person, even if he cares, he is always silent, he never declares it, and he doesn't even think about letting her know.
Isn't she thinking the same thing now?
It seems that there are thousands of kinds of love in this world, and although the ways of expressing it are different, the results are the same, all for the good of the other party.
