Chapter 39: Heartache

Fortunately, the rain has not been heavy, and Yi Qi Wanxi and Yi Qi Mancao did not get wet when they returned to Yi Qi Mansion. The subordinates had already prepared the meal, but Yi Qiqian and the others had not returned home.

As soon as Yi Qi Wanxi and Yi Qi Mancao entered the mansion, the servant said to the two of them: "Master, they haven't come back yet, please wait for a while." ”

So Yi Qi Wanxi and Yi Qi Mancao went to the side hall and waited.

Yi Qi Wanxi touched the retort cake in her hand through the package, and felt that the retort cake was already cold, so she put it on the table next to her. Seeing this, the subordinate next to him asked, "Third Miss, do you want the kitchen to be heated?" ”

"No need." Yi Qi said gently, feeling that his mouth was dry, he picked up the tea next to him, brought the cup to his mouth, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Grandpa, how long will they come back?" ”

"The kitchen is ready." The subordinate saluted, "It's almost time to come." ”

"Oh." Yi Qi Wanxi didn't say anything more.

Yi Qi Mancao, who was sitting opposite Yi Qi Wanxi, looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, who was calm but ignored herself, thinking that she had made her sister angry. The reason why my sister is angry, Yi Qi Mancao also knows. But Yi Qi Mancao was wrong, and the fault was that she thought Yi Qi Wanxi was angry.

Yi Qi Wanxi is indeed in a bad mood, but it has nothing to do with Yi Qi Mancao. The two of them are sisters, and Yi Qi Wanxi will not be angry because she said something inconsequential. The reason why Yi Qi Wanxi is depressed is only because of herself.

Not long after, Yi Qiqian and the others came back, Yi Qiwan hid his emotions, and talked and laughed with Yi Qiqian and the others casually.

At night, the rain was much heavier than in the afternoon, and on Yiqi's house, there were crying voices in Yiqi's graceful boudoir.

It was not only Yi Qi Wanxi who couldn't sleep late at night, Si Yu sat on the chair in the room, looking down at the book spread out on his lap. Xu had been reading for too long, and his eyes were a little tired, so he raised his head, closed his eyes, pressed the root of his nose with his hand, and then opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The night was hazy, and although the window was not open, after all, late at night, Si Yu still felt cold.

Si Yu wanted to go to bed early, but he couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed and tossing and turning. There was always something on his mind, but he didn't know what he was thinking. So I got up and looked for a book to read, thinking that I could turn my attention and fall asleep.

After reading for a long time, Si Yu had achieved his goal, but he put down the book, got up, and the fatigue disappeared again. Si Yu was a little helpless, tightened his coat and looked out the window.

The rain crashed against the windows, made a sound, and then flowed down the glass. Si Yu's heart was faintly uneasy, and a bad premonition inexplicably emerged, looking at the sparsely lit night, the sword eyebrows unconsciously locked, and blurted out her name nonsensically: "Wanxi." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Si Yu went to Peicheng Girls' School to find Yi Qi Wanxi, but heard Qiu Yu say that Yi Qi Wanxi did not come. For the next week, Si Yu didn't see Yi Qi Wanxi.

Whether it was a school or an orphanage, Si Yu could think of any place where Yi Qi Wanxi might go, or even in Yi Qi's mansion, Si Yu couldn't find Yi Qi Wanxi.

Si Yu only felt empty in his heart, and he felt deeply uneasy every day. He was afraid, he was afraid that Yi Qi Wanxi would leave suddenly like five years ago.

Five years ago, Si Yu heard the housekeeper say: "The third lady of Yiqi Mansion has gone abroad. ”

At that time, Si Yu's heart seemed to be hollowed out, and with that sentence, he followed Yi Qi Wanxi to the other side of the ocean.

Five years ago, Yi Qi Wanxi left, and Si Yu's heart hurt more than when he knew that Yi Qi Wanxi and Qi Tianyu were married.

He wanted to be there for her.

"I want to take you away, if I can't, let me stay with you all the time." He said this to her, but she refused.

"What are you kidding the young marshal?" She had a bright smile on her face, as bright as the sun that day, "I'm Qi Tianyu's fiancΓ©e." ”

Soon after, she went abroad. But he's waiting, he's been waiting, he's waiting for an opportunity. I can't say why, it's just that he believes that he should wait.

Perhaps, as she said, "fate".

"Fourth Miss." Another afternoon, Si Yu, who looked very tired, wore casual clothes at the gate of Peicheng Girls' School to block Yi Qi Mancao, who was going home from school, "What about your sister?" ”

Yi Qi Mancao's clear eyes were filled with a little sadness, and he was about to cry, so he threw himself into Si Yu's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and said in a crying voice: "Brother-in-law." ”

Yi Qi Mancao was like this, Si Yu was frightened for a while, and instinctively thought that something had happened to Yi Qi Wanxi, so he didn't push Yi Qi Mancao away, forcibly endured his emotions, and asked in a low voice: "Wanxi her, what's wrong?" ”

Yi Qi Mancao didn't answer, only crying in Si Yu's arms.

Si Yu was a little disgusted, seeing that she was crying so sadly, it was not good to be too cold to her, and after hesitating repeatedly, he gently patted her back to comfort her, but Yi Qi Mancao hugged herself too tightly, which made Si Yu a little uncomfortable.

When the passers-by saw this, they all looked at the two of them with strange eyes. Si Yu was a little embarrassed, couldn't help frowning slightly, looked down at the person in his arms, and said, "Fourth Miss, you are like this...... The impact is not good. ”

Hearing this, Yi Qi Mancao left his chest, raised his right hand as if to wipe his nose, clenched his fist and wiped the tears on his face and the corners of his eyes with the back of his fist, and then put down his fist and hid it in his sleeve. After sobbing a few more times, he raised his teary eyes and said to Si Yu apologetically, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry." ”

Si Yu looked at Yi Qi Mancao, thinking of Yi Qi Wanxi, his heart was cold, he frowned and shook his head gently, and then asked, "So what happened to your sister?" ”

"Nothing happened." Yi Qi Mancao forced out a smile, his voice was still hoarse, "It's just that I'm a little unwell." ”

"Then why are you crying so sadly?" Si Yu had a feeling of being deceived by Yi Qi Mancao, and a trace of anger unconsciously appeared in his heart.

"Because my brother-in-law mentioned my sister to Mancao, Mancao remembered that my sister blamed Mancao, so she was sad." Yi Qi Mancao said, crying again.

Si Yu already felt troublesome, and when she saw that she was about to pick her up again, she took a step back with some disgust, and put her hands in her pockets: "If it's convenient, can you take me to see your sister?" ”

"Huh?" Yi Qi Mancao's eyes widened suddenly, "My sister is not in Shanghai." ”

"Not in Shanghai?" Si Yu's heart suddenly ached, and he squinted slightly, "Where did you go?" ”

"Well...... "Why," Yi Qi Mancao smiled slyly, "Grandpa deliberately told me not to tell others." ”

Si Yu wanted to say something, but Yi Qi Mancao took a deep breath, took a step back, and said, "If my brother-in-law is fine, I'll go back first." ”

Si Yu looked at her indifferently and nodded his head: "Hmm." ”

Yi Qi Mancao walked past Si Yu and looked up at him, his eyes were as clear as the Huangpu River reflecting the starlight, but there was a trace of imperceptible cunning flashing in his eyes that looked harmless to humans and animals.

Yi Qi Mancao got into the car, Si Yu lowered his head to look at the placket on his chest that was wet with tears, but found that there was one button missing on his shirt. Si Yu frowned slightly, thinking about where it fell.

In the car, Yi Qi Mancao put the crossbody bag on the seat next to him, Jiang stretched out his right hand from his sleeve, opened his fist, and reflected the button on his hand in his eyes.

The good-looking eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked a light smile, and muttered, "Sister...... Husband...... Yo. ”

Back in the bureau, Si Yu, who was depressed because of his heavy heart, returned to the office, An Jie, who was dressed in military uniform, sat on the chair in front of the window, put a file bag on his lap, and gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his middle finger, heard the movement, squinted slightly to the side, and then asked with a smile: "What happened?" I feel a little upset about you, my Major General. ”

Si Yu sat on the chair and looked at An Jie with her back to her, but she was not surprised that she knew her mood without looking at herself, calmed down and said calmly: "It's nothing." ”

"Nothing?" An Jie said, took the file bag on his lap in his right hand, got up, straightened his military uniform, turned around and walked to Si Yu, propped his left hand on the table and leaned over slightly to look at Si Yu, "Isn't there anything I need to do, my Major General?" ”

Hearing this, Si Yu was silent for a few seconds, raised his cold eyes and looked at An Jie with a shallow smile in front of him, his tone was pretending to be calm, but he couldn't hide the slight panic that came out of his heart: "I won't tell you, there is." ”

When Si Yu wanted to say something, An Jie pressed the file bag in his hand on the table, pushed it in front of Si Yu, and said, "Na." ”

"What is this?" Si Yu frowned slightly.

"You and I have known each other for many years, do I still not know what you think?" An Jie's face showed a confident smile, "I know what you want, just one look." I've been absent-minded about what you've been doing lately, except for the third lady of the Yiqi Mansion, who else can make my major general like a walking corpse. ”

"It's really worthy of being my good brother, you really understand me." Si Yu's expression relaxed.

Hearing this, An Jie showed a confident smile, Si Yu lowered his head and opened the file bag, not noticing that An Jie's smile showed a bit of bitterness.

An Jie and Si Yu have known each other for many years, and they are friends of life and death. With a look at him, she knows what he wants, and with an expression on his face, she knows how he feels. So who he is heartbroken for, she also knows herself. She never regarded him as a brother, but he only regarded her as a brother.

Originally, An Jie was not interested in Yi Qi's Wanxi matter, and it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't care. Even, as far as Anjie is concerned, it is a good thing that Yi Qi Wanxi does not appear in front of Si Yu. She should have secretly rejoiced in this.

When he first knew that Yi Qi Wanxi had left Shanghai, Anjie was happy about it. But......

But Si Yu is becoming more and more decadent.

Although he looked very calm, the tiredness revealed in his eyes let An Jie, who was too familiar with him to be more familiar, know that Yi Qi Wanxi was the woman who lived deep in his heart, the woman he loved with all his heart. Yi Qi Wanxi left, Yu Siyu, it was torture, torture, and punishment.

"Why did she leave?" In his memory, Si Yu's drunken voice was low and hoarse, "Is this a punishment given to me by God?" Because of my cowardice? ”

It was rare for Si Yu to be so close to Anjie, but Anjie was not happy, and even had unprecedented heartache.

An Jie never said that Si Yu's feelings for Yi Qi Wanxi were not worth anything, because she knew that she and him were actually the same kind of people. An Jie didn't think that Si Yu's feelings for Yi Qi Wanxi were worthless, she knew that if she denied Si Yu's feelings for Yi Qi Wanxi, she would deny her feelings for Si Yu.

At least before, she thought she was the same kind of person as him. So his heart hurts, and she understands it, because she hurts more.
