Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Shipwreck
Heavy rain rained in Cloud Leaf City for two days and two nights.
Early in the morning of the third day, the heavy rain finally stopped.
Although Wu Tianxiao is gone, Jing Qiushui, Tianjun and Jin Jiao are still in Cloud Leaf City.
"What did you say?" Jing Qiushui couldn't believe his ears, "You say it again?" β
Zhulian said it again.
After hearing this, Jing Qiushui just walked away indifferently.
Zhulian's voice echoed in her earsβ
"The boat that Wu Tianxiao was on has sunk, and no one has survived."
Jing Qiushui hadn't taken a few steps before he ran into Jin Jiao running towards him.
"Autumn water!" Gillian stopped in front of her panting, "I just learned the news of the shipwreck - the ship Tianxiao was on has sunk!" The messenger said that Tianxiao was dead! β
Already dead? Jing Qiushui felt his mind go blank.
"Autumn water...... Translucent! You okay? Jin Jiao looked at Qiushui with an expressionless face with some fear, afraid that she would lose her mind.
Jin Jiao helped Jing Qiushui and walked back to the inn step by step.
Jin Jiao said to her in a gentle tone along the way: "Don't worry...... Perhaps, Ah Xiao survived...... I can't tell......"
For Jin Jiao's comfort, Jing Qiushui didn't listen to anything.
She only felt a blow to her heart, something inside of her that died.
Jin Jiao looked at her expression and said fearfully, "Qiushui! Don't scare me! You cheer up a little! β
The two returned to the inn in this way.
"Gillian?" Wu Tianjun stood at the door of the inn and saw them.
"You...... Heard the news too? Jin Jiao looked at him.
Wu Tianjun was stunned and did not answer.
Jin Jiao felt that his heart must be very heavy.
"Ah Jun...... I...... Sorry......" Jin Jiao didn't know what to say, the two people around her, one lost her brother and the other lost her love, she really didn't know what to say.
Jin Jiao helped Jing Qiushui back to the inn room.
When Jing Qiushui sat down, she whispered in an extremely gentle voice: "Qiushui, I'...... I'm going to make you some tea, don't move. β
Jing Qiushui did not answer.
Jin Jiao took one last look at Jing Qiushui and walked out of the door.
As soon as Jin Jiao went out, she bumped into Wu Tianjun outside the door.
"Ahh Jun! β
Wu Tianjun didn't look at her, his eyes were blank, and his voice was hoarse: "...... How is she? β
"It's not good...... Jin Jiao's face was sad, "You go in and accompany her, I'll come right away." β
Jin Jiao ran to the first floor, found the shopkeeper, and ordered the best tea herself.
When Jin Jiao entered the house again with a plate of tea sets, Wu Tianjun and Jing Qiushui sat without saying a word, and the silence in the room was suffocating.
Jin Jiao silently put the tea set on the table.
She carefully took out two teacups and placed them separately
Qiushui and Tianjun in front of him.
Then, she lifted the teapot and poured it for them, saying, "This is the best tea I have called, it has the effect of calming the mind, you drink it slowly......"
Soon, the teacups were full.
Jin Jiao put the teapot on the table and swept around Qiushui and Tianjun with a worried gaze.
Jin Jiao felt that this silence was a little unbearable, so she said softly: "The body is the most important ......"
The two people opposite were silent.
Jin Jiao had no choice but to sit down in front of them.
Time passed minute by minute, and neither Wu Tianjun nor Jing Qiushui had any intention of relieving themselves from the blow.
Jin Jiao clenched her hands nervously.
After a long time, Jing Qiushui finally opened his mouth: "Tianxiao...... Really dead? β
"Smack!"
The two women were startled by the sudden impact.
It turned out that Wu Tianjun accidentally broke the teacup in his hand.
"Damn! Why wasn't it me who went?! Wu Tianjun roared angrily, "If I go to take a boat, it won't be the eldest brother who dies!" β
"What stupid are you talking about?!" Jin Jiao shouted loudly. By the time she realized it, she was already on her feet.
"The one who should go is my ......," Wu Tianjun choked up.
"Don't say it, Ah Jun, don't say it......" Jin Jiao said to him in the softest voice.
Wu Tianjun lowered her head, she couldn't see his expression.
Jin Jiao was very worried, but she didn't know how to comfort them.
Jin Jiao sat down slowly.
"Jun, maybe it's just ...... Maybe he's still alive......"
"'Maybe'......" Ah Jun slammed the table, and the teacup was shaken so much that the tea spilled, "What's the use of 'maybe'?" β
ββ¦β¦ I know it's hard to accept, but you have to be strong. Jin Jiao persuaded.
Jing Qiushui's eyes were filled with tears, and Jin Jiao couldn't bear to look at her.
After a while, Jing Qiushui mustered up the courage and spit out a few words with great difficulty: "He...... Return...... Can't come back? β
As soon as she finished saying these words, tears crawled all over her face.
Jin Jiao bit her lip and saw her friend in tears, but she didn't know how to persuade her.
"The state of affairs...... It's serious...... Wu Tianjun didn't look up, his right hand was on his forehead, his elbow was on the table, he looked very depressed, and his voice was intermittent, "It's obviously ...... in China It's a mess...... Even the prince ...... Since it is also ......"
He couldn't say any more.
Jin Jiao really couldn't stand the look of these two people in front of her.
She stood up and hurried out.
She was afraid that she would collapse in that closed room.
Jin Jiao ran a few streets outside the inn in one go.
She stopped at a street corner.
So gorgeous hair color...... That's notβ
βYou Ye?
Jin Jiao saw You Ye and a woman dressed in men's clothes with a delicate face.
That's Gu Xin!
How did they end up here? What are you doing?
"This girl, how can you take other people's things casually?" You Ye laughed.
Damn it! It was discovered. Gu Xin secretly thought that it was not good. ββ¦β¦ I think you're too weird, and your behavior is not normal, so it's better to leave this thing to someone else to take care of. β
"What did you say?" You Ye was obviously angry, "It's you, the strange person, right?" It's a woman, why is she dressed as a man? What do you mean when you say I'm 'abnormal'? β
Gu Xin smiled: "I won't tell you, I've been observing you since you left the Manchun Building." β
"Oh?" You Ye already understood what she meant, "So, you're judging me with your moral standards?" Are you still a moral thief? You obviously saw a blonde crystal bracelet on my body, and you set your eyes on this baby, didn't you? β
"It's all your own speculation." Gu Xin said, "Your woman's thinking is really unusual. β
"So you're scared now...... As a result, you didn't expect to be caught by me with superb martial arts. You Ye glared at her viciously.
"I don't think as much as you......" Gu Xin disagreed, "I didn't do anything, did I?" What are you doing all this nonsense? β
"What!? You thief! Still don't admit it? You Ye was furious.
"I saw that you were acting debauched, so I wanted to steal it from you, a woman who is not a virtuous woman," Gu Xin said, "In this way, it will not be so sinful." β
"You see my unruliness and think I'm a bad woman? I think you're targeting weak women! β
"That's your own delusion."
"What did you say!?"
"Don't impose your delusions on me."
"You're going to have to get this out of the way today!"
"Hehe, why do I have to make a name for myself with a woman in Manchun Building?"
"Aren't you just a thief? Do you have to look down on your despicable deeds?! You Ye raised his voice.
"I have a standard ...... To steal is to steal an unvirtuous woman like you. β
"Do you have a reason to steal from someone?" You Ye was furious.
"Anyway, it's not a serious person......"
Seeing that the two had a dispute, Jin Jiao felt that it was better to come forward to mediate.
She thought, even if she couldn't comfort Ah Jun and Qiushui, she could at least make this matter calm.
"Let me interrupt, You Ye, Gu Xin," Jin Jiao stepped forward, "Do you know ......?"
"Phew! Isn't this Jin Jiao? You Ye seemed very happy to see her.
"Golden Girl?" Gu Xin was a little surprised.
"You know her, too?" You Ye glanced at Gu Xin
glanced at Jin Jiao again, "Since Miss Jin is here, why don't you make a decision for me?" β
"I have more serious news," Jin Jiao said bluntly, "Do you know that Wu Tianxiao was killed?" β
You Ye and Gu Xin were deeply shocked.
"Are you sure?" Gu Xin asked, "Killed?" β
"Yes."
"That person won't die so easily." Gu Xin said.
"I want to think so too, but ......"
"He's not going to die like that!" Gu Xin raised his voice.
"But he did go out to sea by boat." Jin Jiao said.
"I don't believe it either, this should be fake news, fooling people." You Ye said.
"You Ye, do you really think I'm going to spread this kind of thing?" Jin Jiao stared at her.
"I didn't say it was you." You Ye said.
"I'm just worried, scared it's true." Jin Jiao said, "After all, the weather two days ago, if you go to sea......"
"You mean ......" You Ye opened his mouth.
"Shipwrecked." Jin Jiao lowered her head, "I also just learned about it not long ago......"
"Wu Tianxiao died in a shipwreck?" You Ye said.
"It seems...... That is true. Jin Jiao whispered, her face sad.
When You Ye heard this, he was at first at a loss, and then his eyes showed suspicion, and his face was not good-looking.
When Gu Xin heard this, he lowered his head and was silent.
Jin Jiao seemed to feel the invisible pressure in the room just now.
"Keep this broken bracelet for yourself!" Seeing some of the people around him, Gu Xin gave up You Ye's blonde crystal bracelet and left in a hurry.
When the people saw that there was no good show, they also scattered.
"Ah, let that thief slip away," You Ye looked at the direction in which Gu Xin had disappeared, "It's good that I didn't let her take my baby." Miss Jin, in order to thank me for not losing the treasure, I allow you to make a request, and You Ye will try my best to meet it. β
"Really?" Jin Jiao felt a little incredible, she didn't seem to have done anything, but she just bumped into it.
Jin Jiao thought for a while, and then asked seriously: "Well-informed like you, do you know...... Possessed by demons, how to solve it with phantom? β
"Phantom? Miss Jin is so knowledgeable, she even knows this. You Ye blinked and smiled mysteriously.
