Chapter Forty-Eight: Waiting for Me to Be Thirty?
In Shi Qiong's cave mansion, when he saw Shi Qiong calling himself, he asked warmly, "What's wrong?"
"Hmm...... I'll tell you something. Shi Qiong squinted and smiled and jumped over, grabbing Shi Chen's hand with some hesitation.
"What's wrong with you?
"Brother...... Marry me. Shi Qiong finally opened her mouth, lowered her head and tried to hide her blushing face.
"Arjun, you...... What nonsense are you talking about?" Shi Chen frowned slightly, looked at Shi Qiong incredulously and asked.
"I said, brother, marry me!" Shi Qiong repeated what he had just said.
"I'm your brother!" Shi Chen said, his tone a little heavier, but he didn't get angry. I really don't know what medicine Shi Qiong took wrong today.
"I know, listen to me, brother, it's just that I like you for twenty-three years. I try to be well-behaved, I try to be sensible, I try to make you feel at ease, and when I grow up, I try to be close to you, I try to stick to you, I try to stay by your side. Shi Qiong said vigorously, smacking his lips and swallowing his saliva.
He continued: "Brother, I know that the jealousy of close relatives will lead to the destruction of heaven and earth. I also know that if you are with me, you will inevitably be ruthlessly crushed by the words of the world. I know that if I become your wife, you and I can't do the things of men and women, but I really ...... It's true...... Love you. ”
After saying this, Shi Qiong burst into tears, this is the feeling that he has been holding back for twenty-three years, and he is silently buried in his heart alone, and no one knows. Maybe my mother has guessed her feelings, but she has not expressed her disapproval.
Shi Chen frowned, his eyes looked a little stern, since his mother had Shi Qiong, he had treated her as a treasure, and he had never beaten or scolded her, but today he was a little annoyed.
"You kid, don't you know what you should do!" Shi Chen said angrily, this was the first time he had reprimanded his sister so far, and he couldn't control his emotions at all at this time.
"I'm not afraid of the heavens and the earth, I'm not afraid of the ridicule of the world, and I don't care about any men and women, but you're my sister! How do you ask your father and mother to go out and meet the villagers in the street to avoid their eyes! Even if you are my cousin, we are two families, and I will choose to be with you...... But we are brother and sister, why are you so ignorant!" Shi Chen reprimanded, his words as sharp as a knife.
"Brother...... Woo woo woo ......" Shi Qiong cried, tears raining down, and the little hand that grabbed Shi Chen trembled. The aggrieved pestle stayed in place, crying incessantly, and his heart was broken.
"We can find a street corner where no one is around, we are immortals, our father and mother are mortals, and in a hundred years, my father and mother will be gone, and no one will care how we should live...... We can live like mortals, you plow the land, I weave the cloth...... We can also travel the world like immortals......" Shi Qiong said as he sobbed.
"No! I said it, I'm your brother! You girl!" Shi Chen suddenly said angrily, and shook Shi Qiong's hand away, his eyes were stern, this was the biggest anger he had ever made.
Trembling a little with anger, he turned his back and ignored Shi Qiong. Let Shi Qiong cry behind him.
"You've never murdered me!" Shi Qiong cried, just now Shi Chen shook off his hand, and his whole heart felt broken.
You've never murdered me...... These words kept echoing in Shi Chen's heart. Shi Chen closed his eyes fiercely, opened them helplessly, and sighed. Shi Qiong is right, she has never murdered her sister, she is indeed angry.
No matter what the situation is, it would be good to explain the matter euphemistically, there is no need for me to be angry, and besides, Shi Qiong's feelings for herself that she has endured for twenty-three years are indeed a little touched, if she were to change to another girl, I am afraid that she would have become a Taoist companion with her.
Slowly turned around, helplessly stroked Shi Qiong's little head, and said earnestly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have murdered you, I promise, this is the last time for my brother." Listen to me, in the future, you will meet the man who is gentle with you, and no matter how much you lose your temper, he will not make you cry. From the beginning to the end, I will only be gentle with you alone. ”
"No, there is no such person in this world except you...... I just want you to ......" Shi Qiong stopped crying, still sobbing non-stop.
"Hmm...... Let it be so, I make a promise to you, that this year you will be twenty-three years old, and that if you will be seventy-year, and if you have not met him who is gentle to you in every way, I will make you a wife. As I assure you, my brother will wait for you to marry first, and then go to find your own Taoist partner. Look at it, you've been waiting for your brother for twenty-three years, will you be seven years behind?" Shi Chen regained his usual gentleness towards his sister, this is a delaying strategy, find a Taoist companion for Shi Qiong in the future, and quickly achieve this beautiful thing, so that he can rest assured.
"Wait for me to be thirty, okay...... A word is ......a certainty" Shi Qiong stretched out her little finger and wiped away her tears, still looking aggrieved, laughing and sobbing.
"Okay, haha...... Let's go, let's go cultivate. Shi Chen said softly, took Shi Qiong's hand, turned around and walked in front.
Shi Qiong tried her best to show a smiling face, buried all the unhappiness in her heart, and kept up with her brother's pace, her little hand gripping her brother's hand tightly as usual.
Lan Ziqian had been waiting outside Shi Qiong's Cave Mansion for a long time, and when she saw the two of them holding hands and walking out, her heart eased a lot, but she couldn't help but sweat for Shi Qiong. He knows Ah Chen very well, and he is deeply influenced by the world, so it is inevitable that he will be very angry, and he may even do something to Shi Qiong.
"What?" Lan Ziqian asked the two apprentices.
The two did not hide it, and informed the master of the seven-year covenant.
After listening to this, Lan Ziqian smiled deeply and understood the thoughts of the two of them. Ah Qiong wanted to wait seven years for Ah Chen, but Ah Chen wanted to use this delaying tactic to delay time and find a suitable Taoist companion for Ah Qiong.
I have to say that Shi Chen's approach was right. If you let go of your principles because of your sister's affection for more than 20 years, then you are not worthy of being an older brother. If you let your sister cry and ignore it, then she obviously doesn't deserve to be an elder.
Lan Ziqian gently brushed away the extra tears on Shi Qiong's face, smiled at him, and signaled that he didn't have to worry anymore. At least that Lianshuang'er will not succeed, the two of them have a word first, as long as Shi Qiong does not marry, Shi Chen will not accept anyone.
Lan Ziqian accompanied Shi Qiong to slowly cultivate, first, to let go of that hanging heart, and secondly, to follow up on cultivation, so that he had a better chance to grasp Shi Chen.
Shi Chen was also cultivating in the cave mansion when he had nothing to do, preparing to break through the fourth layer of Yuanying and impact the fifth layer of Yuanying.
After Shi Qiong's confession, Shi Chen felt very uncomfortable, and how to find a suitable Taoist partner for Shi Qiong became a problem.
