Chapter 218 She was crying with the bun in her mouth
Chu Xingchen thought he didn't believe in gods and Buddhas. But after dreaming about various scenes from his past life, he realized that maybe there really were gods and Buddhas in his world.
He was silent for a moment.
He held a dogtail grass in his mouth, but his mind was full of thoughts. Chu Xing thought, could it be true that if he made a wish to the Moon Goddess, his sister would fall in love with him?
Chu Xingchen felt that although she was by his side, her heart was too far away from him.
So close yet so far away.
"Sister, I don't want to agree to your conditions," Chu Xingchen thought carefully and finally refused.
"Then, if I exchange this grass ring for Taxue Chunfeng and the others, I want to see them, is that okay?"
"It's not that I don't like Ziyun and Ziyan, but I miss Taxue and the others too." Su Yingxue said softly. In her heart, everyone she met in the other world took care of her like this, and Su Yingxue also particularly liked their care along the way.
Someone once said that if you are negotiating with someone, you must make an offer that he or she is unwilling to accept. Then, after he or she refuses, make a small request.
It's written in a book that this is like "getting on the doorstep". The person who rejects you will feel guilty, and when you make another small request, the probability of that person agreeing will be much greater.
So, Chu Xing pondered for a moment, then took the grass ring from her hand and said lightly, "Okay."
He is really frugal with words.
But the goal was achieved, Su Yingxue smiled, like the early sunshine in March and the blooming lotus in June, beautiful and moving.
"Sister, it's time to go home." Chu Xingchen looked at the setting sun in the distance. The slowly fading clouds lost their brilliant colors. As the sun sank into the mountains, the sky slowly changed from golden to blue-gray, and finally only the not-so-bright skylight remained.
Dusk has passed and night is about to fall, but now there is only the last bit of pale light in the sky.
"It's cold in winter, so we have to go home early." Chu Xingchen thought for a while, then took Su Yingxue's hand and stood up.
He held the foxtail grass ring carefully in his arms, as if it were a priceless treasure.
When Su Yingxue saw Chu Xingchen like this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the sickly and jealous black lotus male protagonist in the original novel actually had such a simple and cute side. He was so easy to deceive.
He actually believed it.
But before she could stand up, Chu Xingchen used the force to pull her up, and then flew down the mountain with her using Qinggong.
"It's faster this way. I didn't bring a cloak with me when I went out today. The temperature in the mountains is very high during the day and night in winter. It would be better to leave early."
"Sister is weak and afraid of the cold." Chu Xingchen said indifferently, "Why don't you go home early?"
Su Yingxue's face turned pale when she heard this. She didn't want to leave this place where she felt free. She didn't want to go back to that birdcage-like villa, nor did she want to go back to the Princess' Palace.
She didn't want to be confined in that small space every day, just like a bird that was used to being free in the mountains, how could it be willing to be caught in a cage?
Even if it's a birdcage made of pure gold and inlaid with precious jade, what's the difference between that and one made of nanmu? Without freedom, there is no joy.
Perhaps sensing Su Yingxue's disappointment, Chu Xingchen coaxed her softly, "Be good, sister. If you like riding, Xingchen will bring you here often in the future."
Su Yingxue saw the boy's sincere eyes, but she also understood that the boy did not understand what she longed for deep in her heart.
"Chu Xingchen, you always say you like me, but you don't really like me."
Su Yingxue rode on Baixue, not running, but riding slowly. The winter wind, with no sun at this moment, still felt a bit chilly when it blew against her body.
"If you really like someone, you won't ask her to do anything."
"Rejoice in her joy and worry about her worries. I hope everything goes well for her, I hope her blessings will continue, I hope she stays away from suffering, and I hope she is happy every day."
"But brother, your liking is just possession." Su Yingxue said calmly and objectively, "Liking someone doesn't mean forcing them to change because of your opinion."
"You should change yourself first," Su Yingxue said softly, "Blindly possessing someone won't earn you willing love and affection."
Chu Xingchen's eyes were filled with bitterness when he heard this. His heart was bitter, but his eyes were even more bitter.
He also knew that love requires mutual affection.
But sister, have you ever given him any chance of mutual affection?
As long as she took one step toward him, he would run to her. But she didn't want to take even half a step closer to him.
"Sister," Chu Xingchen interrupted her with a mixture of tears and laughter, "Save your energy and don't talk too much. Go home early, okay?"
"If I want to persuade Xingchen to let me go, then I might as well learn how to fall in love with Xingchen."
"When I learn to be happy about what I am happy about, to worry about what I am worried about, to hope that everything goes well for me, to wish me a long-lasting blessing, to stay away from suffering, to be happy every day, then I will naturally give me endless freedom."
The young man was wearing a dark riding suit and riding a fat and strong black horse. He had a rebellious look on his face and a determined and paranoid look in his eyes. After looking at her, he even raised his eyebrows.
The boy seemed to be telling her, Sister, when you fall in love with me, then you can tell me all these messed up things.
In short, I now have the ability to confine you and imprison you on a small area.
Su Yingxue felt depressed and extremely sad when she heard this.
Sure enough, she knew that this road was a dead end!
This Chu Xingchen is truly an incorrigible child!
It was already late at night when the two returned to their villa outside Beijing. After taking a bath and changing clothes, the meal was already prepared.
"Sister," Chu Xingchen served her the dishes.
He would taste each piece of food himself first, and after confirming that it was okay, he would help her serve the food and put it into her bowl.
Chu Xingchen was now her nominal lover, so he didn't need to do these things. But he treated himself as a lover instead, serving her by setting the dishes for her, washing her hands, and attending to her meticulously.
Although he is so young, he is more mature than her and knows how to take care of others.
Su Yingxue was not used to this at first, as modern people are used to being free and undisciplined. But she could not resist his insistence, and gradually, she got used to Chu Xingchen's presence.
"Sister, try this."
This is a home-cooked dish, made with freshly dug winter bamboo shoots and stuffed buns with three kinds of diced bamboo shoots.
Chu Xingchen's chef can cook for palace banquets as well as for ordinary people. Su Yingxue likes home-cooked meals, especially simple home-cooked meals, and she also misses her modern reading life.
When Su Yingxue took the first bite of the bun, she suddenly burst into tears.
The steamed buns with three kinds of bamboo shoots tasted just like my mom’s in modern times. Her eyes suddenly became red, and countless thoughts came to her like a tide, swallowing her up.
She held the bun in her mouth and sobbed, her eyes red and filled with tears, all of which were due to her longing for her parents.
