Chapter 13: Cher's Heart Knot

Lying in bed and sleeping is an extremely normal and ordinary thing for people, however, Dugu Yi has not slept in a real bed for nine years, under the cold corner of the wall, in the messy grass...... As long as there is a sheltered corner, it is possible that he sleeps, and only when he is lucky can he find a dilapidated abandoned house to spend the night.

Lying on a comfortable bed like this, covered with a warm bedding, has always been a picture that can only be seen in fantasies and dreams.

"Knock, knock!"

There was a very slight knock on the door, and it didn't take much thought to know that it was Cher.

"Come in. Dugu Yi, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, responded and sat up with his hands on his body.

After Duguyi's voice fell, Xue'er pushed the door in with a plate containing a bowl of rice and three home-cooked side dishes. Although Dugu Yi wanted to help her serve the plate, the injuries on her body made her movements slow, and by the time he stood up, Xue'er had already come to the bedside.

Dugu Yi looked at the plate, and then at Xue'er. "You did it?"

Xue'er nodded lightly without expression, put the plate on the low cabinet next to the bed, and then turned to the door, about to leave.

"Wait a minute. ”

Looking at Xue'er's back, Dugu Yi smiled bitterly in her heart, this little girl is really cold.

"I'm going to live with you from now on, and you don't have anything to say about it?"

Hearing this, Xue'er turned to look at Dugu Yi, and then shook her head slightly.

"Huh......" Dugu Yi exhaled deeply, although he never thought that he could untie the knots and shackles that bound Xue'er from the beginning, but he was not good at communicating with people, and he had tried his best to find a topic, so Xue'er's cold attitude still made Dugu Yi a little frustrated.

"If you're not happy, I can leave now. ”

"I ...... I didn't... No... Not happy!" Cher replied with some anxiety.

Because Xue'er lowered her head, Dugu Yi couldn't see the expression on her face, but when she saw her panicked appearance, she also knew that she was a little anxious...... After thinking of this, Dugu Yi no longer forced Xue'er to say anything, shook her head gently, and said, "You wait here first, I'll help me rub the medicine after eating." ”

Xue'er didn't resist Dugu Yi's tough words, nodded lightly and sat down on the chair next to the low cabinet.

Dugu Yi also sat back on the edge of the bed, picked up the chopsticks on the plate, but didn't pick up the dishes, and said again: "You are actually very happy." ”

"Happiness?"

It was the first time that someone had used these two words on her since losing her parents, so Xue'er's petite body trembled and looked at Dugu Yi with puzzled eyes.

Dugu Yi nodded and raised his rice bowl, and said with a wry smile: "I can't remember when I last ate a meal like this, maybe eight years ago, maybe nine years ago." ”

Xue'er's eyes stopped at Dugu Yi's hand, the dishes he eats now are all made by her, so he naturally knows how simple these small dishes are, but he said that he hasn't eaten them for a long time. As a result, there was also a hint of sympathy in Cher's eyes.

Dugu Yi ignored Xue'er's compassionate gaze, looked around the room, and said: "Such a room, such a meal, and people who love and care for you, all these things you have are extremely luxurious dreams that I can't have......; What can you find?"

Although Cher was still sitting steadily, tears had begun to slide down her face, gently falling on the back of her clasped hands, and splashing on her sleeves.

"Yes...... But the mother ...... Gone with my father......

Hearing this, Dugu Yi also thought of his mother who didn't know where to go and his father who died tragically in front of him, and sadness also climbed up his cheeks, and the rice bowl that had not been touched was gently put back on the plate.

Both of them missed their parents in their hearts, and the room fell silent, and after a long time, Dugu Yi's sigh broke the silence full of sadness and nostalgia.

"I can understand your feelings, but you shouldn't lock yourself in your fantasies because you miss your parents, you still have a grandfather who loves you, and seeing you like this, even if your parents have spirits in heaven, it is rare to rest in peace. ”

Xue'er, who lowered her head and wept silently, waited until Dugu Yi's words were finished before slowly raising her head. "You...... How did you do that, how did you get out of this pain?"

Dugu Yi was silent, he couldn't answer Xue'er's question. To this day, he has not come out of the shadow of his father's death, even if nine years have passed, he still clearly remembers how his father died in front of his eyes, and he still clearly remembers what the coat of arms on the chest of the person who fled is what it looks like;

Xue'er didn't wait for Dugu Yi's answer, but saw the hatred burning in his eyes.

"You... You...... How... What's wrong?"

"Oh......" Dugu Yi, who was pulled back to his mind by Xue'er's panicked voice, shook his head heavily, smiled faintly to hide the hatred in his heart, and then said on the topic just now: "Maybe no one can really come out, although it will fade away after a long time, but no matter how long it has passed, it can always affect our mood, all we can do is cry when we want to cry, laugh when we want to laugh, in order to vent, and then we have to continue our lives." ”

"Is that like this?" Although Cher's voice was still as soft as before, her face was already a little more relaxed.

"Hmm!" Dugu Yi nodded, and Xue'er's slightest change did not escape his eyes, so he further said: "Your grandfather is also very painful to lose your parents, so don't let him worry about you anymore." ”

Xue'er fell silent again when she heard this, and only nodded lightly after a long while. "Got it, I'll try. ”

At this point, the conversation between the two has come to an end temporarily, Dugu Yi is also relieved, from Xue'er's last sentence, it can be seen that she has listened to his words, and knows that she can only play such a role, and the rest is only up to them, anyway, he is also an outsider, and the time they have known each other is only two or three hours, even if he wants to help this pair of grandchildren, he has no choice.

Cher gently wiped the tears from her face and stood up as she explained, "I'll wash my face and come back again." ”

"Hmm!" Dugu replied and watched Cher walk out of the room.

Xue'er's figure disappeared by the door, and Dugu Yi lay down on the bed without strength, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect that talking to people is also a very laborious thing, why didn't I find out this when I was with Qin Qin." ”

Thinking of Qin Qin, Dugu Yi raised his left hand to his eyes again, and the incomparably precious storage ring was worn on the ring finger, which was enough to make countless people's hearts blush, but what Dugu Yi cared about at this time was the engraving on the inside of the ring, but this simple pattern was a knot in his heart that he couldn't untie.

"Ahh

"What should I do?" Dugu Yi touched the storage ring and muttered, if Qin Qin is an enemy and an enemy, then what should I do in the future? Dugu Yi looked at the storage ring blankly, and after a long time, he whispered again: "If it is in her hands...... I might be able to accept it. ”

However, this is also a matter for the future, and it is better to think about the present first.

"I'll wait for Xue'er to finish wiping the medicine and go find Iwanaka. Dugu Yi thought about it and sat up again, and after a while, he swept all the food on the plate into his stomach, no matter what the future holds, he now has the possibility of changing his fate.
