Chapter 54 My Little Princess

Jing Xuan didn't expect Tuoba Xun to come to see her.

What she didn't expect was that the latter walked into the yard so rudely, ignored Chu Xue's cold gaze, and slowly poured tea for herself.

At the end, he squinted his eyes and exclaimed: "This tea is really good."

Jing Xuan thought to herself, how could it be good? Chu Xiaomo specially sent someone to buy the famous tea.

Tuoba Xun gently put down the cup, glanced at the vigilant Chu Xue beside him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my beautiful lady, if I want to touch your young lady, you can't stop me."

"But someone will touch you." Jing Yu muttered loudly.

Tuoba Xun: “…”

Not cute at all! !

Seeing his anger, Jing Xuan touched the tip of her nose awkwardly and smiled at Tuoba Xun, "Thank you very much, when we were in the market."

"No need." Tuoba Xun pointed at his neck and asked, "Is everything okay here?"

He was asking about Jing Xuan's injury.

"no problem."

Tuoba Xun took another sip of tea, the teacup blocking the darkness in his eyes so no one could see.

Jing Yu was very confused about his purpose of coming here. After hesitating for a moment, she was about to ask, but she saw him put down the teacup and slowly opened his mouth: "Do you know why the killer wants to kill you?"

Jing Xuan is not stupid, she knows: "Because I am Chu Mo's cousin."

Tuoba Xun glanced at her, then lowered his eyes to look at the tea shaking in the cup: "Yes, if there is a first time, there will be countless times. You are in a very dangerous situation."

Of course Jing Xuan knew this and nodded indifferently.

"Not afraid?"

His words seemed to be covered with a veil. Everyone knew that there was a deeper meaning behind them, but he was clearly pulling her in and deliberately making her suspicious.

Jing Yu lost her patience and asked directly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

The bruises on Tuoba Xun's face caused by Chu Mo had gradually disappeared, and his handsome face began to show. When he smiled, his affectionate and sparkling eyes were filled with light, like a pool of water rippling in the evening.

The thin, crimson lips were slightly raised, and the lazy look between the eyebrows had a bewitching power that made people unable to look away.

Jing Xuan likes good-looking people, and Tuoba Xun is more to her liking now than before, so the little princess was not annoyed and waited for him to speak.

Tuoba Xun stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "You are in great danger in Yunan Pass. You might die. Do you still want to stay here?"

Jing Xuan paused, pursed her lips, and lowered her eyes.

"If you want to leave Yunan Pass, Chu Wenxi will definitely not refuse you and will send someone to take you there." Tuoba Xun paused and continued, "If you don't want to leave..."

"Does he want me to leave?" Jing Yu suddenly interrupted him.

Tuoba Xun: "Of course I don't want to."

Without waiting for Jing Xuan's response, he continued, "But thinking is one thing, doing is another. He knows that it's best for you to leave."

"Will my presence cause him any trouble?"

"I don't know. You should ask Chu Wenxi about this question." He shrugged, supported his elbows on the table, leaned forward slightly, and approached Jing Xuan with a hint of aggression, which made the silent Chu Xue clench her fists.

Jing Yu did not move. She met his narrow eyes and was about to speak, but he lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "The key is, are you... willing to leave?"

Jing Yu was stunned.

"You want to leave?" Tuoba Xun was very persistent and asked again slowly.

Jing Xuan didn't look at him again and looked out the window.

Winter is approaching and the days are getting shorter. Even though we haven't had dinner yet, the sky is already getting dark, indicating that night is approaching.

Before long, the night will thicken, thousands of lights will light up one by one, and the sky will usher in the night view.

The night sky at the border is no different from that in the capital. The moon is still there, and the stars are sparsely dotted, but there seems to be nothing special about it.

But strangely, she stubbornly felt that the moon at the border was brighter, the stars were more twinkling, and even the evening breeze was gentler.

so……

She shook her head and answered firmly: "No, I don't want to leave."

This answer was within Tuoba Xun's expectations. He chuckled and asked, "Why?"

Jing Yu didn't expect that the question would be so detailed. After a moment of silence, she said, "Because the night sky is beautiful."

Tuoba Xun then looked out the window: "It is indeed beautiful, but the living conditions at the border are not good, aren't they?"

This was the fact. Jing Xuan remained silent. She had a hunch that Tuoba Xun's real purpose was very important to her, so important that she wanted to answer seriously and not just perfunctorily.

"My little cousin." Tuoba Xun took a sip of tea, and the sound of him putting down the cup reached her ears along with his unhurried words: "...Is it because of the night sky or because of people?"

Jing Xuan turned her eyes to look at him.

"The reason you don't want to leave the border is because there are people here who you don't want to leave, right?"

He spoke slowly, but it made Jing Yu pause and start thinking seriously.

The night sky was beautiful, because that night, Chu Mo accompanied her to watch the stars and fireworks.

I love the night sky not because of its beauty, but because... I find it beautiful when I look at it with Chu Mo.

It seemed as if she suddenly got enlightened and the fog in front of her eyes was cleared. Jing Xuan laughed at herself. She actually thought about such a simple truth for so long.

She raised her eyes, met Tuoba Xun's, and nodded easily: "Yes, because I can't bear to leave, so I don't want to leave."

"Then... why are you reluctant?"

This question is so strange, is there any reason why I can’t bear to let go?

Jing Xuan tilted her head in confusion, but Tuoba Xun was very serious and didn't seem to think there was a problem.

"No reason, he is very good, very good to me, so..."

"Just because he's nice to you?"

Jing Xuan paused and frowned in confusion: "He is a very good person. I can't bear to give up his tenderness and care."

"Then..." Tuoba Xun smiled lazily, but his expression was very serious. He said slowly: "As you said, he is very gentle, but what if one day, he is also gentle to others?"

Jing Yu was stunned.

"One day, he took someone out for a stroll, wholeheartedly protecting them, and all he talked about was talking about them. What would you do?"

Jing Xuan was stunned. For some unknown reason, she felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by a huge hand, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

If one day, Chu Mo cares about others and is gentle to others, what should she do?

——What should she do?

She seemed to be very unwilling.

"Of course, he is a very good person. Although he is gentle to others, he will not forget you. He will take you with him when shopping and protect you. It's just that there are other people in our world. It doesn't seem to matter. After all, his gentleness is still there." Tuoba Xun smiled: "Do you think this is okay?"

"No!" Jing Yu answered subconsciously.

"Why?" Tuoba Xun asked, "The tenderness you want and the care you are reluctant to give up are still there, aren't they? Why not?"

Jing Xuan clutched her dress tightly, her heart pounding. What he said made sense and there was nothing wrong with it, but... but it just wouldn't work!

Chu Xiaomo cannot be indecisive, there cannot be other people in the world of two people! !

She is a princess! She is very fierce! She has a bad temper! !

So...she has the final say! ! !

As if he could tell that she didn't want to answer, Tuoba Xun asked again: "What you can't bear to part with...is it his gentleness, or is it him as a person?"

"The border conditions are not good. Do you want to stay here because you like the night sky or because you like this person?"

Jing Xuan was startled, her hands clutching her dress froze: "Like... this person?"

"You like it, don't you?"

"I like it..." Jing Xuan lowered her eyes and stared at her hands in a daze.

like?

Chu Xiaomo is a good person, and she likes him very much, but...it seems different.

Tuoba Xun's meaning seemed to be different from what she understood.

But...what's the difference?

Tuoba Xun drank the last sip of tea, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Jing Xuan looked up at him and said nothing.

"My little cousin, the thing people can't stand the most is regret, so you have to think clearly and rationally." Tuoba Xun looked into her amber eyes and laughed, "You have such beautiful eyes."

It looks like jade, exactly the same as that kid Jing Junze.

It’s just a pity that I wanted to go to the capital to see him, but it seems... impossible.

He strode away, his red maple-colored clothes fluttering in the wind, his hair cascading behind him like a waterfall, and he walked casually and unrestrainedly towards the sunset.

However, if it can help my good brother fulfill his wish, it seems...it’s no big deal.

Jing Xuan watched him leave, unable to take her eyes off him for a long time.

——"Xiaoxiu, what my brother is most thankful for is that he has made two close friends."

——"But my brother said that they are just like dogs, and each one is worse than the other, right?"

——"Yes, but my brother likes them very much, really...likes them very much."

She finally understood the tenderness and smile on her brother's face, and the nostalgia and yearning in his heart when he mentioned Chu Mo and Tuoba Xun.

Although the young man has an arrogant temperament, he is actually a chivalrous man who values ​​friendship and loyalty.

A passionate heart and two or three good friends will never be forgotten or regretted in this life.

She was a little... envious.

After Tuoba Xun left, Jing Xuan stayed quietly in the room, thinking about the problem, until Chu Xue served dinner.

After dinner, Jing Xuan began to look forward to Chu Mo's arrival. After waiting for half an hour, there was finally some movement outside the yard.

She ran over in a hurry and just saw Chu Xue bowing to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo raised his hand to stop her movements, and when he saw the little princess leaning against the door, he smiled.

He strode into the room. Because there was silver charcoal burning in the room, the door was left ajar and not closed tightly.

Maybe it was because of Tuoba Xun's words, Jing Yu actually felt a little nervous being alone in a room with Chu Mo.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mo saw that she looked unnatural and frowned slightly: "You feel uncomfortable? Is the wound hurting?"

As he said this, he walked closer to take a look.

"No." Jing Yu quickly shook her head and took two steps back.

The action of taking a step back was serious. Chu Mo narrowed his eyes, then smiled again, his voice slightly deep: "It's good that there is none."

Chu Mo sat on the chair first and motioned for her to sit down as well: "I have something to tell you."

Jing Xuan knew that what Tuoba Xun said was true and Chu Mo might send her away.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she didn't move, Chu Mo frowned again: "Tell me if you have something on your mind, don't keep it in your heart."

In recent days, the little princess's voice has become less and less. He can't be sure whether he can't hear it or there is a blank in her heart.

Jing Xuan pursed her lips, said nothing, and sat obediently aside.

Chu Mo: "Did you enjoy your dinner?"

Jing Xuan nodded and asked, "What about you?"

"I just ate a little bit casually."

"random?"

"I was too busy just now, so I only ate a steamed bun." Her long eyelashes covered the expression in her eyes, and her voice was slightly deep, which made her sound particularly pitiful: "I was in a hurry to see you."

Jing Xuan's eyes suddenly widened, her amber pupils were round and full of accusations: "How can you eat so casually! I told you to eat well! You, you don't respect food!! "

Chu Mo: “…”

Even though I was already used to the little princess's actions, I was still speechless at this moment.

He really didn't understand why the little princess, who lived a life of luxury, was so rude about food...

That’s all. He was silent for a moment, then reminded me clearly, “I came here to see you.”

"I'm not going to run away!" Jing Yu clenched his fists and puffed up his cheeks fiercely: "You! Are you wrong?!"

"I was wrong." The general said bluntly without hesitation: "My mistake."

Jing Yu hummed and groaned: "The boy is teachable."

Chu Mo: “…”

Regarding becoming a child again, he said there was nothing he could do except remain silent.

Jing Xuan sighed: "I'll ask my sister to go to the kitchen."

Without waiting for Chu Mo to answer, she went out with her skirt in her hand, and when she came back she glared at him fiercely.

Chu Mo looked away in silence.

After a while, Chu Xue put the meal that had been hastily prepared in the kitchen on the table and left only after it was ready.

Jing Xuan had just finished her meal and didn't feel hungry, so she propped up her chin and watched him eat.

The current general was once the son of the Chu family and had a very majestic father.

Because he hated others saying that military generals were rude and disrespectful, Chu Yi paid special attention to etiquette education and disciplined the little Chu Mo very strictly.

Because of this, although Chu Mo has a big appetite, his movements are not rude but rather elegant.

Jing Xuan had noticed this a long time ago, but this was the first time she watched him eat seriously.

There was a faint light in his serious eyes, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Chu Mo felt sorry for his thoughts. After a moment of silence, he euphemistically asked, "Do you want me to keep watching?"

Jing Yu: “No?”

The tone was very fierce, and the general admitted: "Of course."

After eating dinner under his gaze, Chu Mo called Chu Xue to clean up. After everything was ready, he got down to business.

"Are you scared today?"

This is true. Jing Xuan nodded, and her heart still beat fast when she thought of the arrow: "I'm afraid."

"The person behind the scenes has set his sights on you. It's very dangerous now." Chu Mo didn't want to scare her, so he hesitated for a long time before speaking cryptically.

"Yeah." Jing Yu nodded.

"Yunan Pass is very dangerous." Chu Mo said, "The capital is very safe."

"So...you want to send me to the capital?"

This time, Jing Xuan was very cautious and didn't use the word "return". She looked straight at him and smiled calmly: "Are you going to send me away in the end?"

Chu Mo did not answer, and said something else: "There are many people protecting you, but just like today, there will be many accidents, and I can't guarantee it."

Jing Xuan said nothing more and just looked at him quietly.

“The conditions at Yunan Pass are not good, there are many bad things.”

Chu Mo's Adam's apple rolled and his voice was hoarse. He suddenly recalled what the little princess said when he sat next to her - "I won't go thousands of miles away. The capital is great. I won't let myself suffer."

Yes, even if he tried every means to be nice to the little princess, the border still could not be compared with the capital. The border thousands of miles away had wronged the little princess.

——He had wronged the little princess.

"Chu Mo, I just ask you, will I cause you trouble?" Jing Yu stared at him deeply, not missing any change in his expression.

"Causing trouble?" Chu Mo smiled softly: "You have never been a trouble."

——is my little princess, the one I love most.
