Chapter Eighty-Seven: Sad
"Don't you like me?"
Hearing this, Ji Qingling seemed to have accidentally touched the fire, and was so shocked that he immediately pulled back the hand that Gu Yanzhang had caught.
Gu Yanzhang followed her movements for a moment.
He slowly withdrew his hand, his face was nervous, and suddenly it was like a large drop of the blackest ink dripping on the silk paper, from the corners of his mouth that were tightly pursed, to his brows, to his eyes, and gradually blurred into an extremely sad expression.
He held his breath and only looked at Ji Qingling with a pair of eyes, in addition to sadness, there was another thing in his eyes.
- so thick that it almost overflows with affection.
Even if Ji Qingling has too little experience and still doesn't know much about it, he still understands what he wants to express at this time.
She didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Yanzhang's face slowly turned pale, and it seemed that from the inside out, he exuded an aura of discouragement.
Ji Qingling had never seen Gu Yanzhang describe him like this, let alone see him with such an expression and eyes.
After many years in one place, he is gentle, considerate, resolute, patient, and energetic, even if he is angry, his face is full of concern and distress, no matter what he proposes for the future, he will always nod in support.
Ji Qingling has always been very clear that although between the two, it seems that he has been being the "guide", he decided not to go to the capital, he decided to stay in Jixian County, he helped Gu Yanzhang plan a way out, and he sought money and things for the survival of the two, but the one who really made the most effort among them was always Gu Yanzhang.
He said that he wanted him to take the Mingliang Mountain exam, but there were only a few months left, and when ordinary people heard it, they probably rolled their eyes and sneered, but he would only say yes.
Even if he was sleeping at the ugly time every day, he got up at two o'clock, gritted his teeth to practice martial arts and study, except for eating and sleeping, he was not lax for a while, no matter how thick the scriptures he sorted out and how harsh the requirements were, he never complained or shirked.
For the same policy, as long as he says a request, he can write more than a dozen drafts according to his words with different views and techniques. The scripture annotation questions he found from elsewhere, even if there was only a slight possibility that the academy examination would be involved, even if the content was condescending to the extreme, he just smiled, took the scroll in front of him, and memorized it again and again.
This style continues to this day.
The schoolwork of Liangshan Academy is so heavy, how many students are reluctant to even move when they return home when they take a break. He Gu Yanzhang is not the only person with high talent in the world, there has always been a saying in Jixian County, entering the Liangshan and Qingming courtyards, almost stepping into the Wenyuan Palace, and half of his body put on the Jinshi robe.
To be able to maintain the first place in the mid-term examination in such an academy, how much energy and time he has paid, even if he doesn't see him every day later, she can also guess.
However, in such a hard day, he still hung himself in his diary, and in the past few years, although Rosin said that he followed him on the surface, in fact, he spent most of his time running on both sides every day, asking him about his diet and daily life, asking about his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, bringing himself the food he wanted to send back, and giving himself gadgets that he didn't know which classmate he had accidentally talked about. He is sick, even if it is the tenth exam in a few days, he doesn't care about anything, and he only needs to come back to take care of it.
He is Gu Yanzhang who can handle everything, even if he takes care of people, he is more meticulous than ordinary little girls.
Ji Qingling thought that this was a character, and it was also a brother and sister relationship who had been together for many years, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it ...... In his heart, there were more than brothers and sisters at that time.
He was worried about himself, in his heart, he was sick, and he was more anxious and sad than anyone else. He said "I can't wait to replace you with my body", which was originally just a distressing sentence, but now that I think about it, it should really come from my heart.
He feels sorry for himself from the bottom of his heart, so he can take care of himself more thoughtfully and meticulously than everyone else. He frowned, he knew how to twist the handkerchief, pursed his lips, and he would go to serve tea.
Inexplicably, Ji Qingling felt a panic from the bottom of her heart, which scared her even more than hearing Gu Yanzhang's confession.
Without Ji Qingling, Fifth Brother Gu may still be the same Gu Yanzhang.
He is so good, no matter how bad the situation is, he can gradually turn the situation around and live his own world.
But without Fifth Brother Gu and Ji Qingling, he would never be able to go to the world to find such a person.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingling only felt that his family seemed to have become a fish whose gills had been cut off, and it was difficult to even breathe. Cold sweat oozed from her palms, and the soles of her feet felt cold, and she didn't know what to do.
Being looked at by Gu Yanzhang with such eyes, she couldn't help but feel the same sadness in her heart, and also gave birth to an inexplicable panic. She didn't know what she was thinking, so she turned her head away and didn't dare to look at her again.
When Gu Yanzhang saw her reaction, he only felt that his whole body was cold. He had heard someone say something before, called "being dug a big hole in his heart", and he only thought it was funny at the time, there is such a ridiculous way to describe it in the world.
However, at this moment, this sentence involuntarily appeared in his heart.
Yes, it was as if a big hole had been dug in his heart, and from that hole blood was pouring out, and all the strength of his body was drained.
Thinking back to those sweet self-reflections in the past, I just feel that it is all a joke.
Even if she tried her best to bring out a heart, what if she didn't want it?
He won't do anything but hurt her, and he's even more reluctant to do it.
But what if she didn't want him to hurt?
Gu Yanzhang saw that Ji Qingling didn't reply, so he had to smile miserably and said, "Since you don't like me, you still want to live with me...... It's just treating me like a brother...... However, in Jixian County, no one knows us, and when we return to Yanzhou, we have to go to the Yamen to confess, if we meet the old people on weekdays, we can't hide it anymore...... But it's inconvenient ......."
When he said the last few words, he only felt that he had no strength to continue, his whole body was cold, and his waist hurt badly for some reason, so he had to grit his teeth, turn his head, and swallow the sadness alone.
When Ji Qingling heard him speak like this, he only felt panicked in his heart, and for some reason, he felt that he was the stupidest person in the world for a moment. She didn't know what to do, and she didn't know what to say, but at this time, she was as if she had been eaten by a dog, and she was so anxious that her eyes were full of tears, and it took a long time to shed tears and say: "I don't like it...... I don't know what I think of you...... All I know is that I want to stay with you all the time and no one else intervenes......"
