Chapter 21: I'm Not the One
"Second brother, let me go!" The little girl struggled in Li Kuan's arms, trying to break free. But he left with a tight grip, as if the whole world was in his arms. At this time, it was the second and weakest time when Li Kuan came to this era. The first time had just arrived, and at that time, facing a completely unfamiliar world, he felt not only loneliness, but also fear. The fear of the whole world, after learning that his life was near, was added the fear of death. Because he was afraid, he wanted to grab a storage zài that he could rely on. At that time, the innocent and lively Li Lizhi brought hope and brought that spring-like warmth, so Li Lizhi walked into Li Kuan's life and became a special existence that occupies an important position in his heart. Now, Li Kuan, who felt confused and desperate again, found that there were still these two people who would never abandon him, and once again held on tightly. He didn't want to let go, because he was afraid that as soon as he let go, it would be like a colorful soap bubble in the sun, which would burst all at once.
"You haven't told Second Brother Sù yet, what about your secret!" Li Kuan didn't let go, his face came to the little girl, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously grinned. This is the first heartfelt smile he has shown in these days, and he has always been sad in the face of Xiao Tianxiang and Yuzhang before, because he did not regard the two of them as people who needed him to hide his heart, and he was the kind of intimate relative who could open his heart.
"Second brother, Wei'er whispers to you, don't make a noise!" The little girl's little head turned around and looked around, as if she was observing something.
"Good. The second brother promised not to say it! Li Kuan saw that she was mysterious, and felt funny, who would deliberately eavesdrop on the little secret of a six or seven-year-old girl. Her expression made Li Kuan's gloomy mood become a little more cheerful again.
"Secretly tell Second Brother Sù, I'm not the only one here now!" The little girl was like a little mouse stealing lamp oil, and whispered in Li Kuan's ear with a hint of pride.
"Huh?" Li Kuan looked around vigilantly, and then said nothing, quietly feeling the wind and grass around him. After confirming it repeatedly, he felt a little surprised, it was clear that there was no one. But why do you feel a little bit of being spied on? Li Kuan turned his head again and looked in the direction he had guessed, where there was only one window. At this time, it was still open, and it was a dark night outside the window, was there anyone there?
Li Kuan let go of Yuzhang and slowly walked there. After the little girl was put down by the second brother. ran away in a hurry, holding the blood-red pendant in the palm of his hand, and looked at it beautifully: This thing is so beautiful, Sister Lizhi will definitely envy it! In fact, in the little girl's heart, she has always had a sense of antagonism towards Li Lizhen that she doesn't know about. Whether it is food, clothing, or playing, Li Er and Empress Changsun must have thought of Li Lizhi first, and then thought of her in passing. Every time, several times. The little girl stood in front of her sister, but the father and mother arrived behind their Tibetan Jade Zhai. They all called Changle first, and then her. This made her feel that she was actually her sister's partner.
A child without a mother, always so sensitive, the little girl finally got something before Sister Lizhi, she was very happy, and felt that the second brother was the best person in the world, better than her father and mother.
Li Kuan didn't notice this, he was now slowly approaching the open window, from where the cold wind poured into the main hall, and there was a light layer of snow on the ground near the window. This shows that these days, this window is always open. In other words, if your feelings are not wrong, someone has been watching your situation here all this time?
The windows are delicately carved with patterns, and the flowers are pasted on the windows with white cloth as window paper. As a prince's bedroom, there are many such windows, but in this cold winter season, these windows should be closed, why is this window so open? Li Kuan, who was full of doubts, stepped to the window and looked outside.
The howling cold wind blew through the garden outside, and the plum trees bloomed in the small garden in front of the Hall of Talents, and a refreshing fragrance came. In the cold air, you can't help but feel refreshed. But Li Kuan didn't find any clues here, there was no one outside the window, with his eyesight, although at night, it was more than enough to see the flowers and branches of the plum trees in the distance. So he was confident that no one would be able to escape his sight in such a situation.
"No one!" Li Kuan wondered, obviously he felt a feeling of being targeted before, in this direction. But there was nothing in front of the window but snow on the ground, so what could happen?
"Haha......" The little girl's laughter came from behind her, and it was accompanied by a smug shout: "Wei'er's is the same as Sister Tianxiang's!" It's just that it's still red and looks good! ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness Yuzhang is good-looking!" Xiao Tianxiang's voice also came, with her supple temperament, she wouldn't argue with the little witch about anything, because this strong little girl must win, otherwise she will be entangled endlessly, which is annoying. So over the years, Tianxiang and Lizhi have always let her, according to her words, this is also spoiled by this little girl, and now there are only three and a half people in the entire palace who can make the little girl obedient: Li Er, eldest grandson, Li Kuan, and half of them are Li Chengqian. The rest of the people are all the targets of the little girl who punched the Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked the Beihai Kindergarten.
"Alright, Yuzhang!" Li Kuan turned around, looked at the little girl sitting on the chair laughing, and looked at Tianxiang who was smiling and obediently serving her on the side, Li Kuan couldn't help but say something. It's not that he can't see the little girl laughing unladylikely, but he sees the tiredness on his little maid's face.
"Second brother, have you found anyone?" The little girl jumped off the chair, jumped on her little feet and came to Li Kuan, looking at him with a smile, as if she was not surprised that Li Kuan couldn't find anyone.
"Tell me, who was outside the window just now?" When Li Kuan saw the little girl's gloating expression, she knew that there was actually someone outside the window before, which the little girl knew very well, but when she saw that she couldn't find anyone, she felt very proud. As for who was outside the window, Li Kuan had some guesses in his heart, but he felt that it seemed unlikely.
"Hee-hee...... Second brother, you can't find it! It's stupid, Wei'er can find it! The little girl continued to damage Li Kuan, then blinked her eyes, and her little hand stretched out: "Second brother give Wei'er another beautiful stone, and Wei'er will sue Second Brother!" ”
was blackmailed, Li Kuan came up with this sentence in his heart. But he had to go on, because he had carefully looked at the ground far and near, and there was not the slightest footprint, which showed that no one had been outside the window before, unless that person could walk on the snow without a trace. But what is treading snow without a trace and the like is just something that people imagine, and a person in reality, no matter how thin and light he is, will leave footprints on the fluffy snow. Even if you use skis, you will leave a mark. So he dared to conclude that there was indeed no one outside the window before.
But the feeling in his heart and Xiao Yuzhang's expression made him hesitate. It seems that someone was really outside the window before? In order to know what the truth is, Li Kuan had to take out a pendant here, this time it is no longer a Buddha statue, but a monkey that has always been alive, this time it is still red, but not completely blood red, but a warm color of fiery red, this monkey is very expressive, the fluff on the body seems to have been carved out, as if it can be seen. But to the touch, it has the texture of a stone, not the furry feeling of a monkey with flesh and blood.
"Wow...... It's so beautiful, so cute! The little girl's eyes were once again occupied by the twinkling little stars, and the Maitreya Buddha in the palm of her hand hung around her neck indiscriminately, and she stretched out her hand to snatch the little monkey in Li Kuan's hand.
"Little girl, you seem to have forgotten something?" Li Kuan raised his hand, and the little monkey suddenly rose to a height, with Li Kuan's height of more than one meter seven, and then raised his hand, it was one meter eight. With the little girl's height of less than 1.5 meters, this is completely unreachable. So even if she jumped up very hard and raised her little hands high, she still couldn't get it, which was something that could not be seen and touched, which made the little girl scream for a while. Li Kuan had to make a voice to remind her to stop this senseless move.
"Humph!" Seeing that she couldn't get anything, the little girl pursed her mouth, snorted, turned away from looking at the little monkey, and shouted: "If the second brother doesn't give it to the little monkey, Wei'er won't tell the second brother!" ”
"Here you go, here you go!" Li Kuan seemed to be angry when he saw the little girl, put his hand down, and the little monkey was hung by a red rope and dangled in front of her eyes. Immediately attracted her small bony eyes.
"Sue Second Brother, this is yours!" Li Kuan said seductively.
"There's something outside the window! Second brother, go find it yourself! As he said this, Yu Zhang stretched out his hand to grab the little monkey swinging.
"There's something!" Li Kuanzheng was puzzled, but a coquettish voice came from outside the window: "Li Nianwei, you little traitor!" ”
"It's really you!" Li Kuan was stunned when he heard the familiar voice, this voice would appear in his dreams for the next few days, calling him softly, a laughter like a silver bell, with a sweet sticky sound. Li Kuan didn't dare to fall asleep for the past few days, because he would always cry sadly in his dreams, and he would always feel remorse for his powerlessness.
He thought that the voice would never ring in his ears again, except in a dream. But now, when he heard it again, he didn't dare to look back, afraid that it was his hallucination, afraid that when he turned his head, he would see the white snow and the howling cold wind.
"Second brother, don't you turn your head to look at me?" The voice called out to Li Kuan with a resentment that could not be dissolved.
"It's really you! I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Li Kuan turned around suddenly, saw the figure in snow-white clothes outside the window, looked guilty, muttered, and then rushed in that direction. (To be continued......)
