Chapter 121: Cuteness
He Huan's appearance of holding back tears made Xie San's heart twitch fiercely, and the depression in his heart suddenly became unimportant. At this moment, he just wanted to hug her and let her not be sad.
Xie San knew that it was no longer polite for him to grab her shoulder, but his palm was still close to her clothes, his thumb pressed against her shoulder, and he could almost feel her collarbone.
No matter! Xie San couldn't suppress the thought in his heart, and was about to take a step forward and hug her into his arms, when he suddenly felt that his right wrist was grabbed by a pair of small hands.
"You are not allowed to bully the eldest sister!" He Jing pushed Xie San hard, and his small body tried to block in front of He Huan.
Xie Sanwan suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly let go of He Huan, took a big step back, and looked down at He Jing.
He Huan also came to his senses and turned his back to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. When she turned around, she saw He Jing and Xie San's eyes staring, and He Jing was opening his arms to protect her behind her.
"You are He Jing?" Xie San looked at He Jing, not daring to look at He Huan, secretly glad that he didn't have time to take action.
He Jing reiterated angrily: "Don't bully the eldest sister!" ”
"Brother Jing." He Huan hurriedly pulled He Jing to take a step back, and explained in a low voice: "Don't be rude, the eldest sister is talking to Third Master Xie!" ”
"But I clearly saw ...... him"
"No, you're wrong." He Huan shook his head weakly, "We're talking about something important." She tried to divert the subject, asking, "Why don't you read in the house?" ”
As soon as He Huan's words fell, Bai Shao stood outside the door in a panic and explained: "Miss, the slave maid just said a few words to Uncle Zhang at the gate. ”
"You take Brother Jing back to the West Cross Courtyard first." He Huan secretly sighed and smiled at He Jing again. Again, Xie San didn't bully her.
Wait for Bai Shao to take He Jing away. Xie San coughed lightly. casually said: "He's the younger brother you often talk about?" You don't look like him at all. His face was calm, but he didn't dare to look at He Huan.
He Huan nodded carelessly, and did not dare to face Xie San. The woman's intuition told her that if He Jing didn't show up, Xie San would definitely hug her. She didn't know if she would push him away, in fact, she shouldn't have mentioned her father's death in the first place. Those words from before. She didn't say it to anyone, including Shen Jinglun. She quietly took a small step back.
Xie San watched her movements, and also silently stepped back, widening the distance between the two.
"He was born in Chenshi, so he was named Xie Chen......"
"We always quarrel for some reason......"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and then shut up at the same time, motioning for the other to speak first.
"The ......"
"Actually......"
With these four words, the atmosphere in the room became more and more awkward.
In the scorching silence, Xie San walked back to the table and sat down. Pick up the teacup and take a few sips of "Goo Dong, Goo Dong".
He Huan lowered his head. Try to suppress your breathing. She always thought that Xie San and Shen Jinglun were about the same height, at most a little taller, but just now, he grabbed her shoulder, and her whole person was shrouded in his figure, and she realized that he did not belong to Shen Jinglun's thin and slender, let alone the strong and burly of a reckless man, but a tall and straight man who could not be described in words. Even when he was talking to her angrily, it made her feel reassured, as if she had long been determined that no matter what happened, he would never hurt her.
In a trance, He Huan remembered the picture of him jumping out of the carriage with her in his arms. At that time, the scene was chaotic, she couldn't think at all, and he, even in a hurry, he still protected her head with one hand, put the other hand on her back, and elbows to support the ground as much as possible to prevent her from being injured. In fact, he seems to be informal, occasionally domineering and unreasonable, but he is a careful and considerate man.
If he hadn't saved He Huan who hanged himself a month ago, I wouldn't have a chance to live again, right?
What was I thinking!
He Huan frowned deeply, and secretly repeated to himself: He is your savior, that's all!
Xie San put down the teacup and saw He Huan sighing and frowning again. He only thought that he had scared her, and apologized in a low voice: "I didn't mean to lose my temper with you, nor did I deliberately arouse your sadness, I just ...... Just happened to be passing by. He nodded heavily and repeated, "Yes, I just happened to be passing by." ”
He Huan didn't expose his clumsy lies, she didn't dare to get close to him, she looked at him from a distance and said, "What I just said is from the bottom of my heart. For many people, it is better to have hope than to despair, at least 'hope' to keep them alive. I believe that one day, they will accept the facts. ”
"But your mother died of depression."
Hearing this, He Huan was slightly stunned. She was talking to him in Lin Xiyan's mood, but what he saw was He Huan. She chuckled. Every time she argues with him, she always forgets that she is playing the role of He Huan.
Seeing the wry smile on the corner of He Huan's mouth, Xie San couldn't wait to bite off his tongue. Why did he go and uncover her scars again? She suffered a great change in her family at the age of seven, lost her father, and soon her mother died, leaving only her half-brother, as for those in the He family, don't mention it.
She has had such a difficult time in the past ten years, someone should love her and take care of her in the future, but unfortunately, he will have to return to the capital after all, and they are different from men and women after all. In the future, he will marry and have children, and she will marry. Even if it wasn't Shen Jinglun, there would be other men hugging her and kissing her......
"Bang!" Xie San slapped his palm on the table and stood up suddenly.
He Huan was taken aback by him and looked at him in surprise.
"It's fine." Xie San shook his head again and again, turned his back and said: "In short, whether he is alive or dead, find him, the matter can be considered to be over, and the prince of Yong'an Hou can start a new life." ”
"Third Master, although I also hope that things in the world can be clear and clear, but ......" He Huan shook his head lightly and said worriedly: "If you can find Xie Chen's little son, it will naturally be a good thing, but if you only find a pile of white bones, what a cruel thing it is for his parents." Perhaps, they will lose the courage to live. ”
Xie San looked disapproving, shook his head and said: "You should know that if the wound is covered all the time, it will flow pus and fester, and only by removing the rotten flesh can the scab recover, this is the only way." ”
"We are saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, and no one can convince anyone." He Huan found a chair and sat down.
Xie San was dissatisfied with her deliberately keeping a distance from him, but he didn't dare to walk over and sit next to her, so he could only sit back in his chair and said in a deep voice: "It's superfluous to say anything now, I don't have any clues at all." Xie Zhutou has been back in Beijing for a few days, maybe I will have to leave in a few days. ”
"You're going back to Beijing?" He Huan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly hid his emotions, and changed his words: "You have to go back to Beijing, why are you so anxious?" Have you ever wondered......" She swallowed the words that followed. If she continues, she will inevitably mention Shen Jinglun. Every time she mentioned Shen Jinglun, he wanted to light the cannonball. Sometimes, it really hardens her to understand a man's mind.
Xie Sanzhi said what He Huan wanted to say, and he turned his head to look out the window. Suddenly, there was silence in the room.
He Huan looked up at Xie San. She had long known that he would leave Jizhou, but he was really leaving, and she was a little reluctant. Thinking about it, he is her savior, probably because she has never had the opportunity to repay the favor in her life, she will feel regretful!
Thinking of this relationship, she blurted out: "Third Master Xie, forgive me for saying more, the prince of Yong'an Hou was poisoned, and the disappearance of the little son Xie Chen are fundamentally two different things." Besides, it's been ten years since the whole thing, and I think that even if Young Master Xie Chen is standing in front of you at this moment, you won't recognize him......"
"If he hadn't been weakened by poisoning, he wouldn't have been without other children......"
"How do you know that the prince has no other children because of his weak body? How do you know that he is weak because he has been poisoned? ”
"Are you comforting me?" Xie San looked at He Huan. This matter has been in his heart for more than ten years, and he has never mentioned it to anyone, and naturally no one will comfort him. Besides, in the eyes of others, he is a young man, and everyone can't talk to him too late, where does he need the comfort of others.
He Huan felt Xie San's gaze, couldn't help lowering his eyelids, shook his head and said, "I just think that when the third master saved me, he didn't expect me to repay your kindness, maybe the prince thought the same way." At this time, the people in the capital may just hope that you can go back as soon as possible and go home safely. ”
"Are you really not curious at all?"
"Curious about what?" He Huan looked sideways.
"I wonder who I am, what is my relationship with Yong'an Hou Shizi, why I came to Jizhou, why I suspect Shen Jinglun and so on." Xie San looked at He Huan with blazing eyes, and his expression seemed to say, if you ask me, I will definitely answer truthfully.
He Huan touched Xie San's eyes and suddenly felt a little sad. More than ten years ago, when he handed pastries to Hou Shizi of Yong'an, he was seven or eight years old. At this age, it is impossible to be the descendants of the Xie family, most of them are family members, or people who are good friends with the Hou Mansion and have noble status, so that the prince has to eat pastries. Yong'an Hou Shizi's two younger brothers died young, so Xie San is the one who can make Yong'an Hou Shizi have to bow his head. If they met in the capital, she probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to look up to him, right?
He Huan looked at Xie San, did not nod, nor shook his head, as if to tell him, if you want to say, I will listen, if you don't want to say, I will not ask.
Seeing this, Xie San was disappointed. Suddenly, he really wanted her to be a greedy and vain woman, and after knowing his identity, he couldn't wait to say to him: You saved me, I have nothing to repay, I can only promise it with my body. If that's the case, he will be able to take her back to Beijing openly. Except for the title of "wife", he could give her everything she wanted, as long as she could talk to him in the future, when he was unhappy, as she did now, even if it was to quarrel with him. (To be continued......)
PS: I made steamed eggs with angsting fish at noon today, and it was so delicious! I used to like the stewed tofu with angsting fish, but today I temporarily changed to steamed eggs, which was very pleasantly surprised, the eggs were very fresh, and the fish was as tender as ever. PS: Fish has a fishy smell, so ginger is the key. Someone doesn't like to eat ginger nuggets, and I don't like the finished ginger juice, so I use fresh ginger to rub it into powder. If you like steamed eggs and fish, you can try it!
