Chapter 118: Xiaohua's New Name (2nd Update)
Hate......
This word made Su Jin's heart suddenly fall into an ice cave.
She knew that Fang Yuan's going like this had a lot to do with her encouragement of his youth and ambition, and she also knew that although Fang Lan had never explained it, it was impossible for her to have no mustard in her heart.
However, when I hear it today, I still feel sad.
This hatred...... Shocking.
"Fang Lan, I'm sorry."
Fang Lan's expression was a little complicated, she looked at her for a long time, but suddenly shook her head.
"You don't have to say sorry to me."
Su Jin Huo Ran raised his head.
"To tell you the truth, I do have a hate, although I don't hate you, but I don't know who to hate......"
She looked confused, her eyes puzzled and sad.
"Do you hate this fate alone, do you hate this tragic and unpredictable war, or do you hate the brute who suddenly took my brother's life?"
"Fate is unpredictable, the war has ended, that person was also killed by you, everything is reduced to nothing, who do I hate, why hate, what's the point?"
She raised her eyes and saw the light blooming in front of her, as if the sky had cleared.
"If I have to say hate, I only hate Xiao Yuan now when his heart is not good, and I can't let him shine in the moonlight." Fang Lan recalled the moment she saw her brother falling, and her vision was a little blurry.
The night was noisy, and the sound of a person falling was really not serious, but for her, it was the most deafening loud noise she had heard in her life.
"My lord, I thank you for allowing him to stay at the greatest moment of his short life with such a great dream, and I am also proud that he can give everything for Cloud City, including his life, even if he turns into loess in the end, but this is better than his nightmare for half his life."
She wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Now, his life is worth it, and the world is ...... You don't have to stay. β
"Ahh
Su Jin lay on the carriage a little depressed, stretched out his head and let out a long sigh.
Jun Ran, who was riding a horse alongside her, couldn't bear it anymore, slapped her in the face and slapped her back.
"Alas, what, alas, you sigh once in ten miles, are you crazy?"
"I'm upset." Su Jin came out again, "I'm going back like this, what about the people who miss me, will they miss me for not being able to eat and sleep?" β
Jun glanced at her.
Lu Jun's carriage in front of him suddenly stopped, and Lu Jun, who was wearing a cloak, was dressed in white again today, and got out of the car elegantly and stepped over.
"It's almost dusk, there's no inn around, so we'll spend the night here tonight."
"Okay." Su Jin nodded, also got out of the car, moved his muscles, and turned his head to prepare to unload the salute.
However, she stretched out her arms and turned her head defenselessly, when she suddenly bumped into a guard walking past her.
The guard seemed to be walking very unsteadily, and when she hit him with an exclamation, he fell to the ground with a "bang".
Su Jin hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, but after a glance, he suddenly saw that the guard's ankles were extremely thin, as if there was none.
This is by no means a normal human leg!
She was startled and immediately retreated, and at the same time, the wind blew behind her, and a black shadow pulled her behind her, and the long sword came out of its sheath with a "swish".
"Who are you?" Jun Ran said in a deep voice, his face full of vigilance, "Say! β
The man seemed to be frightened by this situation, trembling and unable to speak, and only hugged himself tightly with his short arms.
Lu Jun stepped over and unconsciously touched his waist.
There is no guarantee that there will be an ambush along the way, and even if he exposes his martial arts at this time, he will never let this person succeed.
With the force of his fingertips, he slowly drew the soft sword wrapped around his waist.
"Wait!" Su Jin, who had been staring at the man underground, suddenly spoke, and he stepped out from behind Jun Ran and walked towards the man.
"Danger!" This sound came from two people, and the voices overlapped in an instant.
Jun Ran looked at Lu Jun on the side in surprise, and then turned his head to pull Su Jin, "What are you going to do?" β
Su Jin shook his head and spoke to the man with some confusion.
"Little flower?"
Florets?
Everyone was stunned.
This person is that little flower from Cloud City?
As soon as Su Jin's voice came out, the man on the ground suddenly howled and cried, and a pair of small hands ripped off the helmet that almost covered her face, and looked at Su Jin with teary eyes.
"I'm afraid to woo woo woo ......"
Her face was covered with tears, and her hands were covered with dust, and she was immediately wiped by her face.
Everyone immediately cried and laughed.
"What are you doing here?" Su Jin was a little amused, stepped forward and touched the top of Xiaohua's head, "Why did you grow taller overnight?" β
She lifted the hem of Xiaohua's clothes and was stunned.
Xiaohua was young and had not yet grown tall, so in order not to look obtrusive when standing, she tied two iron pipes to her legs, put on shoes, and followed them for a day like stepping on stilts.
At this moment, the skin of her leggings has been worn and broken.
"Woo, who made you whine," Xiaohua said as she cried, "Who told you not to take me with you......"
"Nonsense!" Jun Ran spoke on the side, "Fortunately, we didn't speed up today, and we found you early, otherwise your two legs would be useless, do you know?" β
"Woo woo......" Xiaohua couldn't cry.
Lu Jun stood behind Xiaohua and spoke coldly.
"Xiaohua, your behavior is so ignorant, you rushed out, what should the people in the nursery be in a hurry? I'll send someone to send you back right away!" β
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with Brother Lu," Xiaohua cried louder, "I want to be with him!" β
"Willful!" Lu Jun also seemed to be a little angry, "Cloud City is your home!" β
"It's not!" Xiaohua screamed again, crying even more fiercely, "It's not my home!" No! β
"There...... There's no home for me anymore......"
Her words immediately silenced everyone, and her cries echoed in the empty field.
"They all said that my home and my relatives were under the rubble, that I was an orphan, and that no one would ever love me again......"
Xiaohua looked a little scared when she said this, and choked up.
"You saved me, why not my relatives? And why do you want to leave me alone in Cloud City, as soon as you leave, I will really be left alone, I'm so scared of ......"
Su Jin fell silent, tears swirling in her eyes, she took Xiaohua in her arms, and patted her hand gently on her back.
Perhaps, for Xiaohua, it is also a good thing to leave Cloud City, which is full of scars.
Lu Jun quietly looked at the tears in Su Jin's eyes, and for some reason he was a little distressed, and the words he said were unconsciously softer.
"Then it shouldn't have been so quiet......"
"Lu Xuan." Su Jin shook his head and motioned for him to stop blaming Xiaohua.
Lu Jun's tongue suddenly knotted, and what he was originally going to say "I'll send you back tomorrow," it became "Let's stay first." β
He was stunned, but Xiaohua and Su Jin in front of him suddenly cheered, and the two hugged each other happily.
The laughter reached Lu Jun's ears, making him unconsciously hook the corners of his lips.
That's it, it's up to her.
Xiaohua untied the iron rod on her leg neatly, took a cold breath, but did not show weakness and wait for help, but immediately got up, ran up and hugged Lu Jun's sleeve, and smiled very happily.
"I said, this girl likes you so much, why don't you think she is a girl." Jun Ran touched his nose and teased, "Anyway, it's about the same age." β
When he said this, the soldiers around him immediately agreed.
Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Lu Yan expectantly.
However, she saw Lu Jun's good-looking eyebrows suddenly twisted, and the joy on her face suddenly dispersed.
Although she is young, she can also feel the rejection emanating from Lu Jun's body.
Biting her lip, she yawned and pretended to be sleepy.
"I'm so sleepy, when can I sleep?"
Hearing her say this, everyone immediately stopped coaxing and scattered around to prepare for the night.
Lu Jun lowered his eyes and looked at this small child, and knew in his heart that Xiaohua was not really sleepy, but to relieve him.
Reaching out and touching her head, Lu Jun was silent.
Su Jin took the food and handed it to Xiaohua, and when she saw her gobbling it up, she wiped the scum from the corner of her lips.
"Eat slowly."
"That's right," Xiaohua suddenly spoke, squirting out some unknown objects from her mouth, "I don't want to call Xiaohua anymore, every time I hear someone call me Xiaohua, I miss my mother's ......"
"That's called grass." Lu Jun dodged those strange things and frowned, "The grass and flowers match." β
Seeing that Xiaohua was pouting and about to cry, Su Jin hurriedly spoke, "Don't call Xiaocao, this is not worthy of you." β
She rolled her eyes, "What do you want to call it yourself?" β
"I've thought about it a long time ago," Sure enough, this question was in Xiaohua's mind, and she hurriedly spoke, her eyes proud.
"I've given myself a really nice name!"
"Tell me about it?" Su Jin spoke very cooperatively.
"I'm going to callβ" Xiaohua took a bite of the cake and looked at her proudly, "Big Flower Red Butterfly Fairy Princess!" β
She looked up, "Well, yes?" β
"Puff ha......"
After a short silence, Su Jin couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, and even Lu Jun's shoulders trembled when he laughed.
"Big Flower...... Red Butterfly haha, or a fairy princess? Su Jin's tears came out of her laughter, "We don't deserve to be friends with fairies anymore, you should still call Xiaocao." β
Xiaohua was immediately unhappy, "I think it sounds good, what do you mean?" β
"It's not interesting haha, I just want to laugh, I'm sorry Xiaohua......" Su Jin's stomach hurt when she laughed, "I think you'd better change your name, otherwise you'll regret it when you grow up." β
Xiaohua didn't believe it, turned her head and saw that Lu Jun was also smiling faintly, flattened her mouth, took a bite of the cake aggrievedly, and struggled for a long time before she spoke.
"Okay, so what's your name?" She looked at Su Jin, suddenly remembered something, and quickly corrected what she had just said, "No, I just said something wrong, I want Brother Lu to give me a name, you can't." β
"I can't do it, I can't," Su Jin reluctantly held back a smile, and hurriedly made a look of anticipation in Xiaohua's angry gaze.
"Then let Brother Lu give it to you, he will give it to you."
She turned her head and looked at Lu Jun.
