Chapter Twenty-Nine: Growing Up
In the room, an adult is playing a game with a child
"Qing Shui, my good sister, just tell my sister" I still don't give up
"Don't! If I say it, it won't be interesting, sister, just guess, guess, it's yours! Qingwu said slyly
"Hmm-" I pondered the answer in my head
"Yes...... Caterpillar? I asked
"N-yes-"
"Yes...... Stone? β
"Noβyesβsister is stupid! How can a stone be so light," Qingwu scoffed
"It's a ball of paper!"
"Not yet!"
I pretended to beg for mercy, "Good sister, my sister is really too stupid, I can't guess, can you give my sister a hint?" β
Qing Shui said helplessly, "Forget it, for the sake of your injury, sister, I'll give you some hints!" Hmm-" Qingwu thought for a while, "This thing is sweet and very delicious, but Brother Qing Shui won't let me eat more, saying that eating too much will cause tooth decay!" β
"Oh roar?" I smiled wickedly and excitedly said, "It's sugar!" β
"Sister finally guessed correctly, it's not easy" Qingwu sighed, "Sister can open her eyes"
I slowly opened my eyes, a milky white candy was lying quietly in the palm of my hand, Qingwu climbed up my thigh, picked up the candy and put it in my mouth, motioned for me to eat, and stared at me expectantly with big eyes and asked, "Is it delicious?" β
A sweet smell of milk spread from the surrounding area of the sugar in my mouth, and the silky milky aroma ran down my throat and into my stomach. I savored it, savoring the delicacy that would leave my lips and teeth fragrant.
For a long time, I smiled softly, hugged her and replied, "It's delicious, it's delicious, why is the sugar given to me by Qingwu so delicious!" β
Qingwu's eyes lit up, "Really? β
"Hmm!"
"Hahahaha, that big brother is really right, my sister really likes to eat toffee" Qingwu laughed happily
"Big brother?" I snapped back to my senses and regretted the candy I had just eaten
Now in the Qing family, I must always be vigilant, in case one day I am not careful, I will die and I will not even be able to tie the soul at that time, then the gain will outweigh the loss. At the moment, the most important thing is that I have to ask about the origin of this candy, so as to give myself a chance to save myself
I looked at Qingwu and said with a smile, "Which big brother gave you candy, it's so delicious, my sister still wants to eat it, but my sister doesn't know where to sell it", I pretended to be confused, and muttered, "What should I do?" β
"That's right," Qingwu also frowned, "but I've never seen that big brother before, by the way!" Qingwu remembered something and said excitedly to me, "That big brother said that he will come back to you tomorrow!" β
"Looking for me?" I wondered, 'Will the man who saved me?' I thought to myself
"Oh, sister," Qingwu shook me and said, "Tomorrow, that big brother will come back to you, you won't know when the time comes, don't think about it now, I ran out secretly, I want to play with my sister for a while" Qingwu said coquettishly
"You sneaked out?" Hearing this, I was a little surprised, "Shimizu, are they still going to put you under house arrest?" β
"No, it's just that Brother Qing Shui lets me learn something I haven't heard of every day, what is the Condensation Zhi, the power talisman, the evil spirit, the impact or something" Saying, Qingwu secretly leaned into my ear and said mysteriously, "Sister, tell you a secret, what Brother Qing Shui told me, I still don't understand what it is, but I don't dare to tell Brother Qing Shui, I'm afraid that Brother Qing Shui will be unhappy"
"It's strange if you can understand it! Can these things be taught to children? This clear water is really! I said angrily
Qingwu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, looked up with his eyes, pouted unconvinced, and said, "Sister, do you dislike me for being stupid?" β
I was amused by Qingwu's expression, and said with a smile, "Hahaha, sister, how can I dislike you for being stupid?" Besides, is our family stupid? It's just ......" I paused, touched her head and continued, "You are still young, these things are not suitable for you to learn, when you grow up a little more, how about my sister teach you herself?" β
"Humph!" Qingwu shook off my hand and said angrily, "I'm not a kid anymore!" Brother Shimizu has already told me that what he taught me is to protect people, although I don't understand it now, I can't learn it, but I will work hard, I don't want you to protect me! I'm going to protect myself, and I'm going to protect you! β
"Ambitious!" I admired, but I still didn't agree with Qing Shui's method, I looked at Qingwu seriously and asked, "Qingwu, do you believe my sister?" β
"I believe in my sister!" Qingwu replied categorically
"If you believe your sister's words, then you won't learn what your brother taught you"
"Don't!" Qingwu was resolute, his eyes rolled in his sockets, and he stopped on my wrist and said, "That's how my sister's wrist hurts!" β
"How could it be! It's because I accidentally bumped into the corner of the table," I explained
"Sister! I want to protect you! Qingwu stared into my eyes and said firmly
"What?" I was stunned
"Sister! I want to protect you! Qingwu repeated
It's the first time I've heard anyone say that, and as a kid, I'm a little overwhelmed.
"Sister, you all think I'm a child, I'm small and ignorant, but I'm really not a child anymore! I know what Brother Qing Shui is busy doing every day, I know that sister, you just want me to be safe now, I know that you are all protecting me" Between the words, Qingwu became more and more choked, and Douda's tears fell coldly to the ground
"Clear Mist ......"
"But!" Qingwu raised his head, his eyes were unusually firm, "Sister! I just want to protect you! β
Looking at Qingwu's eyes, I knew that she was not as innocent as I thought, maybe what happened in her family stimulated her too much, deep in her heart, she would never be able to get over this hurdle, even if we used means to erase her memory.
"Clear the fog." I touched her head and said softly, "Now, you've really grown up."
Qingwu wiped the tears on his face and said, "Then, does my sister object to Brother Qing Shui teaching me this?" β
"Hmmm! I don't object, but ......" I looked at Qingwu worriedly
"But what"
"Qingwu, I'm worried about you, will you find it boring to learn this, didn't you just say it? You don't understand."
"It's okay sister! I don't understand it, but I can write it down, and I'll understand it later."
"Hey! Clear the fog! I sighed helplessly
"Okay, sister, don't worry about me, Brother Shimizu is good to me, and I also like to stay with Brother Shimizu" Qingwu said with a smile
"Oh roar?" I smiled evilly again, covered my mouth with my hands, and teased, "Does our little Qingwu like your brother Qingshui?"
Qingwu's face flushed, and he lowered his head and said, "Sister Xing, that ...... That one...... Do you like it...... Brother Shimizu."
"I-" I whispered, holding her appetite, "this clear water! Well! It's good-looking, and it's quite likable," I squinted at Qingwu's expression and saw her excited.
Ay? This little girl, her expression is wrong. I continued, "But what...... I don't like him."
"Heyββ?" Qingwu looked disappointed: "Why?" β
"Huh? Why? I asked her funny, "Don't you like Shimizu?" I don't like it, shouldn't you be happy? β
"My favorite people are you and Brother Shimizu, you don't like him, why should I be happy?" Qingwu asked rhetorically
This little girl! Really! Grinding!
I'm speechless......
