Chapter 19 Repaying the Favor
It was only a moment when he accidentally caught a glimpse of her bare shoulder, and although it was quickly covered, he could tell that the person in front of him was not strong.
Can...
He came out of the room with a feigned composure, but he still couldn't avoid the burning of his whole face.
Even if she is covered with a quilt, because the fabric is very thin, she can see the outline, not to mention that the moment she gets up, she can already notice it very clearly...
Even the most dull person can feel that something is wrong, not to mention that he is a person with a very delicate mind.
Brother Ji, she... How can it be?
Why would she do it? To be honest, she really hid it very well, if she hadn't rushed into her room this time, she shouldn't have found out...
He sat in the courtyard in frustration, blowing the cold wind, and regretted that he had just entered her room.
If you don't know, Brother Ji will always be a partner who helps him when he sees injustice, and he will always be a friend who can be trusted, but now...
Wait until tomorrow and move out...
His intellect told him so, but emotion was against it. Brother Ji must have something unspeakable to hide in doing this, not to mention that outsiders can't see it at all, and there will be no danger if he lives here, and he can also block people outside, which is a good way.
But the lonely man and the widow...
Thinking of this, he felt that his whole face began to burn, as if there was a fire in his heart.
It was a feeling he had never experienced before, something he had never experienced in his previous twenty years. Once, he just thought about how to earn enough for his family every day, how to read two more books to go to Beijing to catch the exam, and later entered the Ministry of Rites, but he just wanted to work harder and take his family over as soon as possible.
In his plan, he never thought that he would meet a woman, or even live under one roof, although perhaps Brother Ji could deceive himself into thinking that he was a man, but he couldn't.
He is a very serious person, he has always seen things in black and white, and he doesn't like those twists and turns. But now, he has to pretend that he doesn't know, and even continue to act, and still get along with her like a good brother.
Perhaps the best strategy for him right now is to get out. He knew his situation, he knew his character, and if he continued to consume it, it would only make it worse. But he couldn't go, or rather, he didn't want to go at all.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he lowered his head in confusion and closed his eyes at a loss.
The reason why Brother Ji wants to be like this must also have unspeakable secrets, perhaps like himself, it is also for the sake of his family that he has come to such a step. In any case, I must help her keep this secret, and I must not let others know.
Of course, she can't let Brother Ji know that she has seen through everything, she came here at the risk this time, she must hope to get out of the way, and she can't cause trouble for her.
Thinking about these things in his heart, before he knew it, it was already late at night, but he still sat alone in the courtyard, and it was difficult to calm his mind.
After a long time, he sighed slightly, got up, and walked towards his room.
Now, the best thing to do is to pretend that she doesn't know anything, and never go to her room again, so as to save her suspicion. You should pay more attention to your daily life, and you can't hook your shoulders like before.
It's just that she can see it, so will other people who are familiar with her also come to her, and then find any clues?
Thinking of this, an indescribable panic flashed in his heart, such a thing must not happen!
Although the investigation of women pretending to be men is not strict now, even if it is found that there is a high probability that it is just driven out of the capital, it is a great loss for the reputation of women, and if it is known by someone with a heart, it is inevitable that it will not be spread around, or it will be harmed behind the scenes.
Moreover, the Ji family was originally a big family, with strict rules, and in recent years, the house has been raided, and it has already declined, and there is no ability, if Chengyun is driven away, these people may not want her.
When that time comes, how will she deal with herself? Not only have all the efforts he been working on completely ruined, but he hasn't even gotten his home back, how can this be good?
For a while, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't sit still anyway, just swayed around.
Dangling, he swayed to the window of Chengyun again, but it was quiet inside, even the candles were extinguished, and it was obvious that the initiator of everything had fallen asleep soundly.
Looking at the dark window, he breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
It's good that she shouldn't have found out about it, let alone bothered about it, and if she was affected by her actions, it would be too guilty.
Everyone else says that he is a strange person, both because he is silent and because he rarely bothers others. But he didn't feel like he was doing it because he didn't fit in or hated other people, he just feared that other people would be hurt.
He doesn't want to see someone suffering, but he has no power and can't save anyone, so he can only avoid others from approaching him, after all, he is ominous.
If there is anything tragic in this world, it is probably that a person's birth was originally wrong. He felt that he was born wrong, and if it weren't for him, his mother's body would not have collapsed, let alone his father's accident. And if it weren't for himself, his father might have been able to pull out and take his mother away.
yes, go away... In this world, there are many ways to go forward.
Just like before coming to the capital, he told his family that he would bring them over one day, but others smiled and told him that those so-called glory and wealth are not meaningful, only hometown is home.
If Chengyun really didn't go out one day, it didn't seem to be a big deal, at least, if she was willing, he would definitely take her away without hesitation.
Thinking of this, he was ashamed of himself. This is just a short time of acquaintance, and they are good brothers, how can they think of such an extent so easily?
He shook his head, trying to squeeze out those strange thoughts, but he still couldn't help but wonder how great it would be if the two of them could really leave this complicated situation together and return to their hometown together...
He has never owed anything to others, this is the first person he owes, and he was worried about how to repay him, but now he feels that the opportunity has come...
In the story, it is often said that the hero saves the beauty, and the beauty will promise each other, and he can do the same...
