Chapter 118: Truth and Falsehood
I looked in the direction the big ghost had left and pinched my chin thoughtfully.
Who made Po like this? The big ghost has every reason to prove his innocence, so it seems that only the thousand-year-old snake spirit has chosen it......
Thinking so, I turned to look at Po's unconscious appearance, smiled with relief, and leaned down to tidy up Po's quilt. After confirming that it was okay, he dragged a chair from behind his back and sat on the edge of Po's bed in a daze.
I raised my eyes and glanced at Ji Zixuan opposite, he looked at me and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." I shook my head and said, "Do you think it's really a ghost made by a thousand-year-old snake spirit?" ”
Ji Zixuan chuckled: "Why? ”
"Didn't I say that the thousand-year-old snake spirit doesn't hate me very much? So if you want to retaliate, isn't Po a good target for revenge? I said seriously.
"Not necessarily." Ji Zixuan shook his head, and I leaned back in my chair after a long sigh. The atmosphere between the two fell into awkwardness.
I accidentally glanced at this room, and found that this place was plain, I suddenly raised my head, and immediately got up and said, "No, it looks so monotonous here, I'll go out and pick some flowers and come back." ”
Thinking that there were some flowers blooming beautifully not far from here, I wanted to pick some and put them next to Bao's bed.
"Po is going to wait for me." I glanced back at Po, who seemed to have a faint smile on his face, as if acquiescing to my actions.
"Take a good look at Po." I seriously instructed Ji Zixuan, who was still thinking about something by the window, and Ji Zixuan nodded at me when he heard the voice.
So I trotted to the wildflowers. After about half an hour, I was trotting all the way, holding in my hand a clay pot with delicate little flowers that I could barely look at.
When I entered the door, the first thing that caught my eye was Ji Zixuan lying on the side of Ah Bao's bed to rest, and Ah Bao next to him was still unconscious.
"I didn't expect you guys to be quite responsible...... I muttered quietly, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but raise an arc, and I even controlled myself to walk without making a sound to disturb Ji Zixuan.
I gently placed the broken crockpot next to Po's bed, and looked at the bouquet that had been carefully arranged by myself. The small flowers of various colors are very layered after I have sorted them out, and the petals are still dotted with the water I have drenched, adding a touch of color to this monotonous room.
I nodded with satisfaction again, it was really not in vain that I would teach myself illustration skills in high school, and complacently pulled the chair over and sat next to Bao, looking at Ji Zixuan who was asleep in front of him, his angular face was pillowing his arm sideways, and his body was undulating evenly with his breathing.
My face turned red again.
I punched me hard in my heart, and every time I looked at Ji Zixuan's face seriously, I would blush, it was so unassuming!
In order to divert my attention, I hurriedly stopped looking at Ji Zixuan, but reached out to sort out the broken hair on Ah Bao's forehead, because Ah Bao was sweating, and the broken hair was soaked by Ah Bao's sweat, I pulled out the quilt a little more to make Ah Bao cooler.
Probably my action of pulling the quilt was felt by Ji Zixuan, his eyelashes trembled slightly, opened his eyes slightly, and got up and stretched lazily.
I was a little embarrassed: "Am I bothering you?" ”
Ji Zixuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, I was already awake when you came back." ”
I was a little surprised when I heard it, but when I think of so many emergencies these days, it's normal to have a light sleep.
Thinking of this, I thought of Po's matter again, and my shoulders shrugged down a little weakly.
I don't think it's a way for Po to stay in a coma like this, but I can't save Po alone.
I glanced up at Ji Zixuan, and Ji Zixuan noticed my gaze: "What's wrong?" ”
"Nope." I lowered my head and shook my head weakly, but I felt that it was inappropriate, so I raised my head again and asked Ji Zixuan with a frown: "Ji Zixuan, do you have to hide Ah Bao's matter from me?" Ah Bao is really uncomfortable in my heart like this, it's all because of me, otherwise Ah Bao ......"
"Shh Ji Zixuan made a silent movement, and I obediently closed my mouth, but I still looked at him very uneasily.
Ji Zixuan said lightly: "It's enough for me to have this matter, this matter may be more complicated than you imagined, so just stand behind me obediently." ”
Ji Zixuan smiled faintly at me. I shook my head helplessly and sighed. This guy said it the same as if he didn't say it, and he said it countless times. The thought of this makes my heart very irritable.
So I decided not to pay attention to Ji Zixuan, got up and walked towards the window, planning to look out the window more comfortably than looking at Ji Zixuan's face.
Until evening, when twilight fell outside, I didn't have the slightest thought of leaving. Ji Zixuan came over and rubbed my head: "Are you hungry?" ”
I shook my head, and there was no hunger in my stomach at all.
Ji Zixuan's hand slipped from my head: "I'll go prepare dinner." ”
I turned my head and wanted to refuse him, but I found that Ji Zixuan had already left my side and walked towards the door, and it didn't take long for Ji Zixuan to stretch out in front of me with a skewer of grilled river fish and shake it.
"The fish swim and swim in the water, hey, why is the fish out of water! Ah, it's going to die, ah, it's going to be a dried corpse. After that, Ji Zixuan spread the grilled fish and pretended to be dead.
I glanced at the beautiful skewer of grilled fish, and no appetite was at all for how fragrant it was.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I don't want to eat it." ”
"You see it's all dead, it's a waste if you don't eat it." Ji Zixuan said with a smile.
I hesitated a little, looking at the fragrant grilled fish in front of me, and this time my stomach began to scream uncontrollably, so frightened that I covered my stomach in a panic.
Ji Zixuan smiled even more happily, and handed the grilled fish directly to me: "Eat it, it's not good to be hungry." ”
I took the grilled fish, lowered my head and silently chewed the grilled fish slowly, and after Ji Zixuan handed it to me, he hurriedly went out. Speaking of which, Ji Zixuan's grilled fish skills are really good, and I quickly finished the grilled fish.
It didn't take long for Ji Zixuan to come back in a hurry, and when he saw that I had eaten the grilled fish well, he asked me, "Is it delicious?" ”
"Not bad." I nodded my head, "Why are you in such a hurry, where did you just go?" ”
Ji Zixuan said lightly: "Didn't I just find out that there was a breakthrough in Ah Bao's matter, so I went to take a look." ”
Before I could speak, Ji Zixuan walked up to me in two or three steps, hugged me in his arms, rubbed his head on my shoulder and said, "I didn't mean to hide from you what I was investigating, but for the safety of you and Bao, I had to do it." ”
He paused, "I'm sorry today. I could feel my arms tighten a little as he said this.
My heart softened suddenly, and I stroked Ji Zixuan's back and said awkwardly, "Actually, I'm not angry...... It's just that I'm blaming myself, and blaming myself for not being useful at a critical moment. ”
Ji Zixuan was silent for a moment, "It's really useless." ”
"Can you say something nice at this time?" The corners of my mouth twitched unconsciously, controlling the desire to swing my fist at Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan cleared his throat and became serious: "In short, I just hope you can understand what I am doing, and I will take good care of Ah Bao with you." After speaking, Ji Zixuan hesitated for a while: "Uh...... I'm not as good as you, but I'll do my best. ”
I chuckled, "Why are you so cute today?" ”
Ji Zixuan was colored: "I don't have it." ”
I rolled my eyes to show that I didn't want to pay attention to him, and he quickly added: "You forgot that you didn't save me, how can you say that you are useless?" ”
Why does he still remember this?
I couldn't help but laugh: "It's pretty much the same. ”
Ji Zixuan kissed my forehead and hugged me dotingly. Listening to the sound of his strong and powerful heartbeat, I smiled slightly, leaned into his warm embrace, and gradually let go of my worries.
"In the future, with you and me taking care of Bao, I can feel much more at ease. You don't know that I took care of her by myself before, and I didn't even dare to sleep. But it doesn't matter, now with you, accompany me to take care of him. I said so beautifully, even in a tone that I didn't consciously raise when I spoke.
With Ji Zixuan's help, it is only a matter of time before he wakes up Ah Bao as soon as possible. And I believe that with his help, Po will be rescued soon.
I nodded and looked at Ji Zixuan expectantly. I saw him pursing his lips calmly, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I will take care of him with you in the future." With me, can you just sleep in peace? ”
Ji Zixuan raised his eyebrows and teased me interestingly. I glared at him shyly, and he was talking nonsense without any seriousness. The first problem now is to wake up Po, and other things are not in my thinking atmosphere.
"Then I can rest assured in the future and hand over Ah Bao to you. By the way, when you went out just now, you talked about the investigation, how was it going? I asked curiously, with a faint smile on my face.
I know that this matter is not so simple, and it is not the intention of urging Ji Zixuan, but the sooner the investigation is clear, the sooner Ah Bao can wake up. Besides, I'll just ask about the process at will, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.
Just when I was silently adding drama to myself in the bottom of my heart, Ji Zixuan shook his head helplessly. "The other party is too cunning, and everything is still at a loss. The trail has also been broken, and now I don't know where to start. ”
Listening to Ji Zixuan's words, I felt a deep sense of grief in my heart.
I knew he had done his best, so I didn't think to blame him or anything.
But what I don't know is that this statement is just Ji Zixuan's lie. In fact, he had his own plans, but I was also kept in the dark by him.
"It's okay, just keep trying. There is power in numbers, and next time I will investigate with you, maybe I will find out the details that you have overlooked. "My princess sells melons, showing her advantages with a proud smile on her face.
And Ji Zixuan's plan is to pretend to take care of me on the surface, but in fact, he investigates Ah Bao by himself. He knew that I would not agree to say it, so he simply did it secretly from me.
If I had known that he had this idea in his heart at the time, I would have done whatever it took to prevent him from approaching Po.
