Chapter 373: Candlelight Night Talk
Shui Mai hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but speak: "Yanxiang, it's better to keep a little distance between you and Xu Gongzi, so as not to make your senior brother unhappy." ”
There was a bitter smile on the corner of Yanxiang's mouth, and he replied lightly: "Master doesn't like me, and Senior Brother looks down on me." He doesn't care who I'm close to. Besides, I'm so happy to be with Brother Xu. ”
Shui Mai looked at her with a smile and slowly opened his mouth: "How can your senior brother not care?" Just now, he just saw that you were close to Xu Gongzi, so he was so angry that he left. ”
Hearing this, Yanxiang's heart sank. Even Sister Shuimai could see that the senior brother was angry. It seems that she really made the senior brother angry. She had intended to make him angry. However, when he was really angry, she couldn't be happy.
She pretended to smile lightly and said, "Tonight, Brother Xu confessed to me. I think people are good, and I'm ready to think about it. ”
Shui Mai was thoughtful, and immediately heard the clue, looked at her with gentle eyes, and asked, "Yanxiang, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it better to have an awkward relationship with your senior brother? Are you still angry that he said you 'get by'? ”
Angry! Of course she was angry. Why wasn't she angry? He exalted others so much to belittle her, so that she could not be angry. When she mentioned this, she became angry.
However, Yanxiang tried to restrain his displeasure, and still had a faint smile on his face, duplicitous: "It was my fault, and the senior brother was right." I'm getting by. Besides, I shouldn't have embarrassed you so much at the dinner table. My elder brother is also here to vent your anger. ”
Yan Xiang thought that he had said this very cleverly. Both admitting his mistakes and bringing up the topic. Obviously, Chu Tiankuo is always on the side of the water vein.
After Chu Tiankuo returned to his room, he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
He thought about what Master had told him in the meditation room. Thinking about how to find out where Chi Xiang's grave is. Either way, he should go and worship. For him, Chi Xiang abandoned his family and children and sacrificed his life for righteousness. And how could he be indifferent. Thinking that Shui Mai insisted on becoming a nun, he couldn't persuade her. Thinking that Yanxiang was so close to Xu Xiucai, there was a burst of jealousy in my heart.
A lot of worries bothered him. Unable to sleep and distraught, he simply got up and walked. Walking and walking, I unconsciously came to the outside of the cigarette bedroom. Seeing that the light in her room was still on, I was overjoyed, thinking that the smoke had not yet fallen asleep. He stepped forward and was about to knock on the door when he heard a voice from inside the house.
"I don't blame you. I also understand that you deliberately said those words at the dining table in order to prevent me from staying in Guang'an Hall. It's just that I've made up my mind, so you don't need to say more. ”
It's the sound of the water veins.
He stood by the window and listened intently to the conversation coming from the room.
Although the smoke and water pulse chatted loudly, both of them tried to keep the volume as low as possible. However, in the dead of night, Chu Tiankuo, who was deaf and clear-sighted, still heard very clearly.
After half a sound, the smoke in the room made a draft in his mind, and said cautiously: "Sister Shuimai, you are the person my senior brother respects the most. His life was saved by you. If he wants to marry another woman, I will definitely not follow him, and I will definitely make a lot of trouble. ”
Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo, who was standing outside the house, smiled heartily. This is indeed the big truth. If he dares to marry someone else, the smoke will really turn the world upside down.
Who knows, the words of Yanxiang are only half said, the front is just the introduction, and the back is the point: "But if this person is you, I will gladly accept it." You and him are the pair that everyone is optimistic about. Moreover, you already had a marriage contract, but it was delayed due to some external factors. ”
Her words were a little sad, but they were extremely sincere.
Chu Tiankuo listened with a fluster. This does not bode well. Yanxiang's words are reasonable and moving, and his little junior sister is generous and reasonable, and he should be gratified. However, instead of being happy, he felt faintly uneasy.
The water veins in the house returned to the smoke and incense, and she also revealed her heart: "I love him, I want to be pure." I want true love, not togetherness. She said, looking helplessly in the direction of the door, and sighed: "He only has you in his heart." ”
The cigarette quickly connected: "I love him, and he loves me." However, love does not necessarily lead to results. You are more compatible with him. If you marry him, he will treat you wholeheartedly and treat you with all his heart. She said, her tone changed, and her words carried a little sadness: "I am better than you, but I have been with him for ten years." If you stay with him and get along with him day and night for ten years, he will also fall in love with you. ”
When she said these words, what came to her mind was the scene where the senior brother and the sister of the water vein hugged each other. There is still a little pain in my heart, but I don't shed tears. What's the big deal. She just, with a sigh.
Chu Tiankuo, who was outside the house, heard cold sweat on his forehead. Yanxiang's sharp remarks seem to see through everything. He always thought she was innocent, but he didn't know that she also had such a mature and sensible side.
The cigarette incense's heartfelt words made him feel very uncomfortable listening to it.
He didn't know, what stimulus made her feel so deeply? Perhaps, it is the understanding that he has come to after going all the way with him and going through hardships and dangers.
He had always felt that he owed too much water vein. But he didn't know that he also hurt Yanxiang's heart intentionally or unintentionally.
He was lost in thought.
After a pause, the cigarette in the room continued: "Ji Wenxuan also loves him like crazy, but he refuses with a strong attitude. He never said no to you, but repeatedly offered to marry you. If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to agree. ”
Shui Mai smiled dismally: "Yanxiang, I understand what you said." But I can't. I want him to be happy, I want him to be happy. Knowing that he doesn't have me in his heart, I don't want to tie up his people. ”
Yanxiang laughed at herself and teased herself: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it." Before, on the way to seek medical treatment, I passed by a Yuelao Temple, and I proposed to him. At that time, I wanted to use heaven and earth as a witness, and the old moon as a medium, to worship and get married. Unexpectedly, he immediately refused. ”
This is a big mess in Yanxiang's life, but she said it happily. It can be seen that in order to persuade Shui Mai not to become a monk, she also did everything she could.
Chu Tiankuo's heart tightened. When it was over, he forgot about it. I still can't forget this thing. At the beginning, he thought that he had been caught in the palm of lovesickness and his life would not be long. I didn't want to drag her down, so I rejected her. didn't think about it, causing such a big shadow in her heart.
Shui Mai smiled lightly and enlightened her: "If he doesn't agree, he must feel that he has wronged you too much." He may be preparing for a heavy wedding, preparing to marry you in the scenery. ”
