Chapter 842 - a chance
Soft moonlight, pure brilliance.
The courtyard was full of lights, and Xiao Zimu, who was set against the backdrop, was like a spring tree that had just peeled off its bamboo shoots, and still contained a thin layer of green bamboo with new white powder.
“So, as long as I don’t expect you to like me too, I won’t be sad.” He curled his lips and smiled, his eyes were as clear as a spring.
Xia Chu looked at his smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, but he wanted to cry more and more: “I have always regarded you as a family member…”
“I can’t be your brother.” Xiao Zimu’s face turned cold and interrupted her unfinished words.
Seeing her breathing stagnated for a while, she looked up at herself with hesitant eyes, and then a smile appeared on her collapsed face: “In the future… But you’re going to be my second sister-in-law.”
Xia Chu’s originally uneasy, self-blame and guilt mood was relieved by his sudden teasing.
For a while, there was actually a bit of laughter.
Seeing his smile so close at hand, complex emotions surged in his chest, but he didn’t know how to speak.
“Okay, let’s go. If you delay a little longer, the second brother may not be able to wait any longer.” Seeing that her mood had eased, Xiao Zimu turned around and continued to lead the way.
The vast and bright water surface in the distance was heavily refracted by the candle lights, emitting a wave-like light, swaying around them in a trance.
Xia Chu looked at his figure with his clothes flying, and thought to himself, fortunately, he knew his identity as a woman, and it was only in the past few months. Such a superficial situation should not be too hurt. Yes.
Xiao Mubai seemed to be waiting at the other end of the corridor, and saw the two of them walking out to meet them.
He lightly swept the faces of the two of them, until Xia Chu walked to his side, and then said to Xiao Zimu: “It’s getting late, we’ll leave first.”
Xiao Zimu looked at Xia Chu, and the person she looked at was always Xiao Mubai.
He closed his eyes, averted his eyes from the severe pain in his heart and lungs, nodded at Xiao Mubai and smiled, bowed and sent them to the door.
Xia Chu stood at the door under the eaves and waved at him with a light smile, a smile on his beautiful and dusty face.
Her eyes contained the brightest pair of stars in the world, reflected in his reflection, so that he couldn’t see Xiao Mubai’s back, and everything in front of him suddenly gave birth to thousands of brilliance.
And the dazzling brilliance disappeared the moment she turned around, and everything fell back into darkness, as if falling into the endless night, and there will never be dawn again.
“His Royal Highness, your subordinates shouldn’t make decisions without authorization, and are willing to be punished.” Xin Ya did not kneel before Xiao Zimu until they disappeared into the night.
Xiao Zimu closed his eyes, pinched his brows, turned around and walked into the room with some staggering steps.
Xin Ya hurriedly stepped forward and gave a hand, only to hear a heartbreak that could not be resolved in his tone: “That’s fine.”
Xiao Zimu walked into the house step by step in despair, fell down on the bed, screened Xin Ya back, and leaned against the window alone.
For a long time, the real reason why he insisted on refusing to enter the East Palace was that he wanted to talk to Xiao Mubai.
He can also not want the position of the prince, not the country of Xiao, he just wants a chance, a chance to compete with him fairly.
However, Xiao Mubai cruelly told him that this was not a question of whether he had a fight, but that Xia Chu had never had any other thoughts about him.
Naturally, he didn’t believe it. It was obviously him who was the first to show affection to Xia Chu.
He just slowed down a bit and missed the opportunity. If he was given a fight, he might not necessarily lose to Xiao Mubai.
Xiao Mubai’s confident smile stung Xiao Zimu’s heart. He even gave Xiao Zimu a chance to ask Xia Chu in person, if she ever had a single thought in her heart, he was willing to give it to Xiao Zimu. a chance.
Xiao Zimu happily went to the backyard to find her, but when she saw her looking at the picture scroll of the house, she was not happy at all, but covered her face with sadness.
At that moment, his heart, like falling into an ice cellar, was completely cold.
The words he wanted to ask urgently, those who were unwilling, unwilling, and unwilling to admit, tried their best to suppress the trembling tone of her, and finally touched her anxious look.
Everything, no need to ask anymore.
She doesn’t know how hot the breath in her chest is, how much she wants to reach out and take her into his arms, but he saw her nervous face, the unease and hidden sadness in her eyes almost burned took him.
He can only force a smile, using the most relaxed and comfortable tone, joking about the woman he loves in front of him, who will become his unreachable second sister-in-law…
Xiao Zimu pressed his back against the icy wall, only to feel the black shadow slowly coming up in front of him.
For her, he has peeped, inquired, covered up, if nothing happened, felt sad, secretly delighted for no reason, and tried to give up with self-loathing. This is his love for her, which is so lowly.
That’s fine, at least let him die, she has never cared about him.
Regardless of the timing, sooner or later, she just hadn’t been half-divided about him all the time.
The real farewell, without the long pavilion and ancient road, without persuading you to drink a glass of wine, in a morning like usual, some people stay yesterday forever.
From now on, this is his alone… Acacia forever.
The waning moon has fallen, the stars are in the sky, and the air of worry and clearness is a sadness that is far away and untouchable, like a faint cloud and a lonely moon, which can only look at the distance of the horizon.
At this time, Xia Chu, who left with Xiao Mubai, did not know how much heartbreak Xiao Zimu had hidden.
She just asked Xiao Mubai curiously, “What did you two talk about in the study?”
Xiao Mubai looked sideways at her face with her head raised. When she first saw her, she was obviously just a young boy, pretending to be old-fashioned, and threatened to take Su Qianan to the brothel.
Now that the tenderness and roundness have faded away, it has become more and more stubborn and beautiful.
If Xiao Zimu had asked him for a chance earlier, he would not have the confidence to let Xiao Zimu ask Xia Chu’s mind alone.
But ever since I knew that the deepest person in Xia Chu’s heart was the boy who rescued her from falling into the water when she was eight years old.
After that, he knew that sooner or later, he never lost to Xiao Zimu.
“What did you say when you were with him in the backyard?” Xiao Mubai asked, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise slightly.
Looking at the expressions on Xiao Zimu and Xia Chu’s faces when they came, he also knew that Xiao Zimu didn’t get the answer he wanted.
Although Xia Chu’s intentions have already been determined, the feeling of being confirmed by her once again is even better than expected.
At the beginning of Xia, there was still some guilty eyes wandering, but he saw his slightly curved lips and those lacquer-like phoenix eyes, those eyes were as black as the quietest night, deep and dark, and there was a hint of cunning in them. fleeting.
Xia Chu’s pupils shrank, and his eyelashes trembled slightly: “Xiao Mubai, you didn’t know it early, did you?”
Xiao Mubai’s smile was clear and transparent as he peered into Tianji, and he took her hand to speed up the pace: “Let’s go quickly, if you let the people of Chang’an see you, it will be bad.”
