Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Lost Child
He was silent, but she understood. At the same time, he thought of another thing, the ghost sent the gods, Ruoxi looked at Wei Cheng's handsome young face and asked, "Has he been here?" Or...... Have you ever called anyone? ”
Wei Cheng smiled lightly, showing a soft look on her always kind face, she saw Ruoxi a little unfamiliar, she quietly waited for his answer, in this short few seconds, she only felt that it was as long as a day, he came? Still haven't been here? No! He must have been here, but he didn't take her away because of his own body, right! It's a Min. During the feeling period, he couldn't take her out of Qingyang Palace.
The longer Wei Cheng was silent, the colder Ruoxi's heart became, and she felt that a breath in her chest had been forced down by herself, lying between the pleura, unable to breathe, swallow, and uncomfortable.
"If you were asking the third brother, he didn't come." Wei Cheng finally spit out this truth, Ruoxi's face quickly turned pale, as if he had been drained of his soul by a puppet. Forcing herself to cheer up, not showing the slightest sign of collapse in front of this man, she exhaled deeply, and the suffocation was finally completely released.
She evoked a smile, as if she was careless, but in the eyes of others, it made people intuitively think that it was helplessness and desolation that they couldn't lift it when they watched the sunset.
Wei Cheng glanced at her, and was about to say something, when he heard the curtain of the door outside, and the strings of crystal beads collided with each other to make a pleasant sound, he didn't look back, and smiled at Ruoxi, "That one doesn't come, but this one comes to report every day, shameless, come in, Ruoxi has woken up." ”
Ruoxi was slightly stunned, followed Wei Cheng's eyes, and sure enough, he saw a handsome face that impressed the gods-Zhong Wuyan.
She was stunned, and she forgot to say hello. And Zhong Wuyan didn't care, he came in with a familiar car, walked to her bedside without helping, stretched out his hand, touched the corner of her clothes, shook his hand suddenly, and then retracted, his tone was light, "It's good to wake up." ”
Ruoxi opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say to this person, and after thinking for a long time, she said an extremely polite sentence, "Thank you, Lord Zhong, for your concern." ”
Zhong Wuyan frowned and did not speak. Wei Cheng looked at it in his eyes one by one, patted his clothes and got up, "It's okay now, the person is awake, I'll go and see if the medicine in the medicine furnace is ready, I still have something to deal with later, shameless, you can accompany Ruoxi, this girl is not in a good mood." ”
Ruoxi argued, "Your Highness...... It's okay to be small......"
Wei Cheng looked back at her slightly, with a narrow look in his eyes, "Really?" Look at your face now, like it's okay? After speaking, he patted Zhong Wuyan on the shoulder, the maid lifted the curtain, and he walked out.
There were only two left in the house, Zhong Wuyan and Ruoxi.
Ruoxi moved back a little uneasily, looking at Zhong Wuyan with his eyes closed in front of him, his eyelashes were still so slender, shining, like two brushes, his face was also a little haggard, I don't know if it was because he came to the palace to see her frequently these days, Ruoxi looked at him, and her heart hurt, she finally turned her head and couldn't bear to look at it again.
This handsome man would have been her husband.
"Lord Zhong is here, doesn't it matter where Princess Ziyan is?" She suddenly shut up, was that what she wanted to say? At this precious opportunity to see him, why did she open her mouth and say such nonsense?
Zhong Wuyan was calm, and after a few minutes of silence, he replied softly, "She won't come." ”
"Why?" In her memory, she never left Zhong Wuyan's side.
He tilted his head slightly, "looking" at her, and his tone was extremely light, "She is also half responsible for your punishment this time." Do you think I'm going to let her come here again? ”
Ruoxi was completely stunned, she remembered that the reason why Mrs. Ya left in anger that day was indeed the reason why Wei Ziyan inadvertently mentioned Mrs. Yu. She smiled bitterly, why should this kind of indescribable grievance be implicated in others?
"That day was not because Her Royal Highness the princess was the slave and maid punished by the lord of Furong County." Thinking of Wei Ziyan's eagerness to defend her at that time, she was still a little grateful in her heart. "Moreover, Her Royal Highness the princess has also interceded for the slave and maid many times."
"It's okay if she doesn't speak, this is a pleading, you will be punished like this." He was slightly annoyed.
Ruoxi was dumbfounded, Zhong Wuyan, who always had a gentle and smooth expression in his memory, would actually be angry? What he left in her heart has always been the appearance of a gentleman, and even when he used a willow branch to teach her to be disobedient, he was also fluttering, like a cloud that would drift away at any time.
She lowered her head, not daring to face such a Zhong Wuyan. He has grown and changed. has become a man with a temper, no longer the little boy who was trained by her to be timid, and no longer what she remembers.
This world, every moment will make people change, together with the flowers and trees around them, birds, beasts, fish and insects, all the time changing, this itself is a dynamic world, but people's memories stubbornly stay in place, still, stay. I just don't want to change.
She thought, a cold smile on her lips.
Suddenly, his hand touched his cheek, his fingers were slender, his bones were distinct, and there was a slight itch on his face, Ruoxi raised his head and looked at him, but saw the painful look on his face.
"It's not her." He whispered, his palm already rubbing her entire cheek. "It wasn't her."
The feeling of the tentacle was not what he remembered, Zhong Wuyan withdrew his hand with a sad expression, but the look of doubt on his face was even worse. Ruoxi only felt that her eyes were slightly painful and sour, and she pretended to be relaxed and shook her head, "Who is Lord Zhong talking about?" ”
Who is it? Is it the princess of the dead country who has fallen to the imperial capital? Or Xiao Rongyan, who grew up with his childhood sweetheart? Or is it the little girl who doesn't know the world to rely on?
Not anymore.
Ruoxi thought so in her heart, and her eyes became cold when she looked at Zhong Wuyan. That's right, her memories don't stay where they are forever, she's learned to forget, she's learned to begin.
She ...... It's someone I've been indebted to all my life. Finally, she heard him speak slowly.
"If you owe it, you will pay it back." She looked up at him.
The look on his face was a sting that she had never seen before, and the handsome face that was about to twist in pain made him look very out of shape, and the corners of his mouth also hooked into a smile, extremely shallow, as if with irony, slowly touched his eyes, "Even if she wants my life, I will not hesitate to take it to her." A pair of eyes, what is it? ”
"Does she think she'll punish me like this?" He spoke softly, as if he were talking to himself. "Wrong, she's wrong."
"Without eyes, I am a kind of relief, I don't have to look at anything, I don't have to care about anything, in the eyes of others, I am like a waste. No one will look into the past anymore. This is her punishment, this is clearly the greatest favor for me! ”
Ruoxi was completely speechless, and she looked at him, her heart completely paralyzed.
The whims of her childhood had left him disabled for life, and she wanted him to know what it was like to hate, as he had taught her at that time. She never thought that one day, the word hate would actually be taught to her by him! It was the last thing he taught her with his own hands.
She wants him to hate too! To accept the torment of fate all the time, to experience the loneliness and helplessness of being in the darkness forever! However, he did not hate her.
But he didn't hate her!
"Isn't that something to hate?" She stared blankly at his face, almost babbling. "Why don't you hate? Why not hate? ”
Zhong Wuyan was stunned, he had already withdrawn from his memories, and asked the opposite person abruptly, he was a little stunned, but he answered honestly, "Hate?" Who am I to hate? Hate her? I still hate my own momentary cowardice, or do I still hate ...... This Great Qi Country? ”
yes, who are they to hate? Ruoxi twisted her neck and stopped looking at her, she was afraid that she would jump up uncontrollably and question him, she couldn't, at least not yet.
"You must wonder why I pay so much attention to you, do you?" He pressed his hand on her shoulder. The familiar, thin skeleton made him wonder again.
"You're so much like her, like I can't tell if it's you...... Or her. ”
Ruoxi didn't ignore the flash of affection on his face, and his heart seemed to be hit by electricity, and he suddenly trembled with numb pain.
"The small is ......"
"Shhhh Don't say. He put his fingers over her lips. The soft, moist lips twitched slightly under his fingers. Don't tell him the answer.
His trembling eyelashes showed the uneasiness and excitement in his heart at this time, and he stretched out his hands to slowly wrap around her shoulders, and the cool smell on his body was like the feeling of Chiba Lake water in the palace, cold and refreshing. It's just that...... The familiar smell of home was just a poison that destroyed her willpower, and there was an emotion that was so deeply stirred that she couldn't hold back her tears and let them slip down the shoulders of those who embraced her.
One drop, two drops. If Zhong Wuyan could see it at this time, he would definitely see the clue from her vulnerability, and he would definitely be surprised at how someone could shed such a big tear. It's just that he's long gone, and he can't see her.
The gap between the breasts became smaller and smaller, and Zhong Wuyan greedily hugged this body that brought him infinite hope, tightened his arms little by little, and buried his head in her shoulders, like a child who couldn't find his way home.
Can't find your way...... That's right, both he and she got lost and lost their children. Whether it is the way to the past or to the future, they can no longer find it.
The wetness on his shoulders deepened little by little, penetrating his clothes, Zhong Wuyan straightened up, touched her cheek, and the tentacles were cold and slippery.
"Why tears? Are you taking pity on my misfortune? He opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, what was going on? Why is this feeling of wanting to be pampered so familiar?
"No, the slave just thinks...... The person in Lord Zhong's mouth, she may regret it. She tilted her head, avoiding his palm.
Zhong Wuyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what he had just done, his face was slightly red, and he withdrew his arm, a little at a loss.
Behind the door curtain, Wei Cheng, who had returned from taking medicine, took this scene into his eyes, a light smile overflowed on his lips, he looked at the medicine bowl in his hand, he felt that he seemed to have found a good way to contain two people at the same time.
