Chapter 40 "I want to be with you."
“So…” Chen Fu was full of reluctance and looked at Chu Mo with resentment: “Xiao Hui was sent away just like that? To the capital?”
Chu Mo nodded.
Shen Fu almost burst into tears: "My little Hui!!"
"First of all, the kitten is not yours. Secondly, her name is Xiaobai." Chu Mo said in a cold tone.
Shen Fu: "Wuwuwu my little gray!!"
Wen Zhixun rubbed his forehead with a headache: "The border is not suitable for Xiaobai. This time she just got a minor illness. What if her life is in danger next time?"
"I know this." The iron fist was rubbing his eyes pitifully, although no tears came out after a long while, "I can't bear to let go."
"Tsk." His fist hardened, Wen Zhixun could no longer bear it and kicked it directly.
Chu Mo watched from the side without saying a word.
Just now, he told Shen Wen and the others that he sent someone to send Xiaobai back to the capital, and that he had already left.
When Xiaobai leaves, the little princess should appear.
Chu Mo estimated the time. After a while, someone came from outside to report: "General, someone came from outside and said it was your relative."
Chu Mo responded and walked out.
Chen Fu and Wen Zhixun looked at each other.
A relative of the general? Come here at this time?
Without thinking too much, the two followed Chu Mo.
There were two strange girls standing in the courtyard. One of them was a little girl in a blue dress who was very eye-catching. Her amber eyes were as clear as water, staring straight at Chu Mo.
It's time to act.
Jing Yu knew it was time to start the show, and she smiled slyly, causing Chu Mo's heart to skip a beat.
As expected, the little princess sobbed twice, looked at him pitifully, and said in a tiny voice: "Cousin, I miss you so much."
Chu Mo: “…”
The little princess loves to make trouble. Will he agree with her?
Of course… yes.
Chu Mo raised the corner of his mouth and pretended to be surprised: "Chu Yu?"
The corner of Jing Xuan's mouth twitched, but she quickly calmed down, strode forward, and hugged Chu Mo: "Cousin!"
Chu Mo froze, totally at a loss as to what to do with the little princess.
The general was held by a pretty girl, which immediately attracted many people. Even Chen Fu and Wen Zhixun widened their eyes in surprise.
Soon, Jing Yu let Chu Mo go.
Chu Mo lowered his eyes to look at her, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Xu, why are you here?"
The cold-tempered maidservant beside him stepped forward and spoke in a cold tone, which instantly reminded people of an iceberg: "General, there was a big commotion in the mansion today, and the young lady didn't want to stay in the mansion, so she came to find you."
Chu Mo glanced at her sideways, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
I didn’t expect Chu Xue to be such a good actress.
Chu Xue had absolutely no idea what this couple was doing.
But she was a subordinate, and she didn't need to care what strange games her masters were playing. She just had to complete her mission.
Chen Fu on the side said nothing, but Wen Zhixun frowned, knowing that the general would be embarrassed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a deep voice suddenly sounded: "Then stay in the mansion."
Wen Zhixun: “???”
You said that there was going to be a war and you had to send the cat away, but you turned around and welcomed the girl into the house? ?
He complained in his heart, and Chu Mo suddenly felt his nose a little itchy. The familiar feeling made him look sideways immediately, and he happened to meet Shang Wen Zhixun's indescribable gaze.
Chu Mo: “…”
Anyway…his image has never been good since the little princess transformed, so it doesn’t matter.
Jing Yu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, cousin!"
Chu Mo had no expression on his face.
Jing Yu happily walked up to Chen Fu and Wen Zhixun and introduced them with a smile: "Hello, generals. My name is Chu Yu. Please take care of me in the future."
The little girl is pretty and has a nice voice.
Chen Fu laughed heartily: "Hello, sister, have fun at the border without worry, we will protect you!"
"good."
Jing Xuan smiled sweetly, but in her heart she was thinking, when she was a kitten, Chen Fu fought with her for food, but now...
To use the words my brother often says - "Tsk, men..."
Wen Zhixun looked calm and said, "Please take care of me."
He asked Chu Mo: "General, where should Miss Chu live?"
Chu Mo: "North Courtyard, next to Miss Li."
Chen Fu thought about it and felt that it was good. Miss Li was gentle and kind, so there was no need to worry about any conflicts between the two of them.
After deciding on the residence, he arranged for people to clean up the yard and purchase daily necessities.
It was already noon. Since Jing Xuan had transformed this morning, she had not eaten anything yet and was growling with hunger.
Normally, unmarried men and women are not allowed to eat at the same table, but firstly, Dasui does not have strict restrictions on women, and secondly, nowadays at the border, it is not so particular.
So Jing Xuan had dinner with the three of them as usual.
Arriving at the dining room, Shen Fu immediately felt heartbroken when he saw Xiao Bai's series of miniature tableware: "My little Hui..."
Jing Xuan glanced at him.
Shen Fu: "Sister, you don't know, there was a cat on this table yesterday."
Chu Mo thought to himself, how could she not know that the cat was her.
Shen Fu's reluctance was expressed vividly. Jing Xuan had a good relationship with Shen Fu and was moved to see him like this.
"Although, the kitten is not gray, eats a lot, is naughty and playful, and can climb up the roof and tear off the tiles..."
Chu Mo glanced at the increasingly dark face of the little princess, and hurriedly kicked Chen Fu. The latter paused, puzzled: "General, what are you doing?"
Chu Mo thought to himself: Saving you and me.
But on the surface he said: "Don't you miss Xiaobai?"
Chen Fu suddenly felt sad: "I miss her very much. Doesn't this show how much I miss her? Although she has so many shortcomings, I miss her very much."
Jing Xuan: “…”
I cursed inwardly, ignored him, and lowered my head to eat.
She ate very elegantly and reservedly. One could tell at a glance that she was not a girl from an ordinary family. Wen Zhixun narrowed his eyes slightly and felt that her manner was more outstanding than that of some young ladies from noble families in the capital, and even better than that of the royal family...
Wen Zhixun was about to speak when he heard Chu Mo call out calmly, "Stop talking."
Wen Zhixun glanced sideways and met Chu Mo's dark eyes, and was shocked.
He knew that this was not something he should ask.
The general will make his own decision, there is no need for him to ask any more questions.
Wen Zhixun withdrew his gaze and continued eating.
After the meal, Chu Mo took Jing Yun to the North Courtyard, while Chu Xue went to buy daily necessities.
It’s different when you become a human. Without other people around, Jing Xuan immediately releases her nature and happily circles around Chu Mo.
"Chu Xiaomo, Chu Xiaomo, do you know? These are huge monsters in the cat world. They are very scary." Jing Yu pointed at a stone and then at the lake and said, "If I fall from here, I will be drowned!"
Chu Mo smiled, his tone firm and resolute: "No."
"Huh?" What don't you know?
"With me here, nothing will happen to you."
Jing Xuan's chest felt pounded and her heartbeat went out of control.
What's going on? How come after becoming a human, I still have a problem with accelerated heartbeat? 】
Chu Mo paused and frowned slightly.
He didn't expect that he could actually hear his own voice.
When the little princess was a cat, it was great that she could hear her inner thoughts and understand what she was thinking, so she could prescribe the right medicine and meet her needs.
But now, being able to hear the voice of one’s heart is not necessarily a good thing.
Now that the little princess has become a human being, she can do some things on her own and has her own privacy. It would definitely be inappropriate for him to just listen.
Chu Mo sighed in his heart, and when he thought about what she said, he sighed again.
Last night, he had already confirmed the little princess's feelings, but she herself didn't know it.
I have forgotten what I was thinking at that time.
Thinking of this, Chu Mo couldn't explain his specific feelings. He could only pretend that nothing had happened for the time being and deal with the troublesome matter of the princess' transformation into a human first.
He thought a lot, Jing Yu was also chattering beside him, and soon they arrived at their destination.
The residence was bigger than Jing Yu had imagined, and was about the same size as Chu Mo's courtyard. Because it had been carefully cleaned, there were no weeds in the yard, and the furniture was also spotless without a trace of dust.
Daily necessities were also bought, and there was everything needed.
Seeing the little princess nodding with satisfaction, Chu Mo asked knowingly, "Do you like it?"
Jing Xuan nodded vigorously: "I like it very much."
"If you like it, that's fine."
Suddenly someone came outside the courtyard. Jing Yu looked over and her eyes lit up: "Sister Li!"
Li Qing, who was dressed in blue, was stunned. When she met those sparkling amber eyes, she actually thought of the kitten from yesterday.
After putting away his thoughts, Li Qing bowed slightly and said, "General, Miss Chu."
The news that Xiaobai had left and the general's cousin had come to the mansion had already spread, and Li Qing naturally knew about it.
As soon as someone came to clean the courtyard next door, she knew that Miss Chu was coming to live next door.
I had long guessed that the general's cousin must be a good person, and now that I see her, I like her even more.
Li Qing covered her lips and smiled softly: "Hello, Miss Chu."
"Hello, Sister Li." Jing Xuan smiled.
Chu Mo said, "Miss Li, this is your first time here, please take good care of her."
"Don't worry, General." Li Qing responded and asked the maid to take out the candy: "Miss Chu, here you go."
That delicious candy yesterday!
Jing Xuan's eyes lit up.
Seeing that she liked it, Chu Mo took it and said, "Thank you."
Li Qing said a few more words and then turned and left.
Chu Mo brought Jing Yu into the room. Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, he smiled and said, "This morning, Miss Li sent some crispy candies. I guess they are for you, too?"
Jing Xuan nodded: "When I was playing in her yard yesterday, Sister Li saw that I liked it and said she would give it to me."
"I'll have someone bring the candies from the yard later."
"Okay~" After eating the candy, Jing Yu's voice was sweet, and Chu Mo couldn't help but chuckle.
"That's great." He sighed softly.
Jing Yu tilted her head: "What's so good?"
"It's good that you can become a human."
Jing Xuan shook her head and smiled, her eyebrows curved and her big eyes became little crescents: "I think it's good too."
She looked so cute that Chu Mo felt itchy and wanted to touch her head like he used to, but he knew he couldn't, so he gave up the idea.
Chu Mo accompanied Jing Yu for an entire afternoon, and eliminated the fear of her transformation into a human that was buried deep in her heart.
The next day, he returned to the military camp.
He asked Jing Xuan if she wanted to go, but the latter thought about it and shook her head.
Chu Mo had no choice but to give up.
He went to the military camp, and Jing Xuan was bored, so she went next door.
Li Qing smiled when he saw her. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jing Yu say, "Sister Li, please call me Yu Yu."
"Okay, Jingxuan." Li Qing's voice was gentle, which reminded Jingxuan of her mother.
I have been away from Beijing for a long time. Even if I don’t say it, I miss my family in my heart.
Perhaps seeing that Jing Yu was a little depressed, Li Qing raised her lips and asked, "Can Yu Yu do needlework?"
Jing Xuan nodded. She was very good at needlework and always made small items to give to her family, including her father and mother. But her brother was the emperor. He always pointed at the sachet around his waist and was shown off to others.
He truly doesn't have the bearing of a prince at all.
As he spoke, he thought of his royal brother again.
It’s strange, she has been away from Beijing for a long time, why there is no news at all, it’s really strange.
Just as I was daydreaming, a piece of embroidery suddenly appeared in front of me.
Li Qing: "Shall we do it together?"
"good."
While doing needlework, they chatted about interesting things and soon became close.
Jing Xuan has a simple and lively personality, which complements the gentle and friendly Li Qing, so there is no dull moment at all.
Jing Xuan already liked Sister Li, and now she likes her even more.
Even during dinner, Chu Mo, who had hurried back home to see the little princess, came and said he wanted to have dinner together.
But Jing Yu only smiled at Li Qing with curved eyebrows, then turned to herself and said in a calm tone: "I want to eat with Sister Li."
Chu Mo: “…”
What is this? ?
When Chu Mo returned to the front yard, Chen Fu and Wen Zhixun were already eating.
Seeing Chu Mo coming, Shen Fu snorted: "After the general sent Xiao Hui away, I couldn't even enjoy my meal anymore."
Wen Zhixun's mouth twitched, and he exposed it coldly: "You have just finished your fourth dinner."
Shen Fu is also a character, and even when he was exposed, he remained calm: "The spirit is not fragrant."
Wen Zhixun rolled his eyes.
"When I see Xiao Hui again, he will definitely not even eat with me." Shen Fu cried with tears in his eyes.
Chu Mo's face darkened, and he became even more depressed.
The depressed result was that after dinner, Chu Mo went to the little princess again.
Jing Xuan had just finished her meal and was about to go to digest the food. When she saw Chu Mo, she immediately smiled and said in a soft voice: "Chu Xiaomo..."
Chu Mo's heart softened, and he smiled unconsciously: "Are you full?"
"Yeah." Jing Yu nodded: "Want to go digest the food?"
"Yes, will you accompany me?"
Jing Xuan responded generously: "Okay, I feel sorry for you."
The two of them walked away slowly. The evening breeze blew by, and only a few words could be heard faintly.
"Why do you call me Chu Xiaomo?"
"I like it, doesn't it sound good?"
"It's not that it doesn't sound good, it's just..."
"That's good, you like it."
“…”
"Chu Xiaomo Chu Xiaomo Chu Xiaomo..."
“…”
"Why not me?"
"Okay, okay, I'll do it."
"whee……"
The woman in green behind him looked at the two people walking away, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
She murmured softly, as if whispering to her lover: "Ayan, did you see it?"
"The general has also met a girl who deserves his indulgence and love."
"Ayan, don't worry. I... am not envious. I really... am not envious."
The weather was getting colder, the evening breeze blew, and Jing Yu sneezed.
Chu Mo frowned immediately: "Why don't you wear more clothes?"
Jing Xuan felt guilty: "I forgot."
Chu Mo wanted to say something harsh, but when he looked into her innocent eyes, he felt helpless: "It was dark when we went out, so I didn't see what you were wearing. Blame it on me."
Jing Xuan hurriedly shook her head and was about to say no, but then she saw a hint of helplessness and pleading in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and she was slightly startled.
"I don't want to send you to the capital."
Jing Yu was stunned.
"But if you get into trouble at the border again, I will really send you away. It's not because I think you're troublesome, but... I'm worried about you, understand?"
"After all, the border is not suitable for you."
His voice was deep, almost breathy, and inexplicably contained a lot of sadness and depression.
Her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a huge hand, and Jing Xuan was having trouble breathing.
"I, I..." She pursed her lips and lowered her head: "I will be very good and nothing will happen again, so... you can't send me back to the capital. I want to be with you."
"Eat together, chat together, walk together, digest food together..."
"I want to be with you, so... I don't want to go back to the capital."
Chu Mo looked into her eyes intently, his eyes full of complexity.
The little princess didn't realize that he said "go" and she said "return."
So the little princess really didn’t want to reply.
I really don't want to go back, I want to be with him.
Chu Mo looked away, avoiding her sight: "Go back, you can't catch a cold."
He strode forward, seemingly not prepared to wait for her.
Jing Xuan was very sad. She bit her lip and stared at his back.
She said that she didn't want to go back to the capital and wanted to be with him. Why didn't Chu Mo answer?
wrong.
Jing Yu was startled and her pupils shrank slightly.
After all, she just wanted Chu Mo to answer.
But……
What did she want Chu Mo to answer?
Answer - "I want to be with you, too?" or "I don't want you to leave, either?"
But if that's the case, is there something wrong with their relationship?
[They don’t seem like owner and cat, nor like friends, but more like…]
"Not leaving?" Chu Mo interrupted her thoughts.
The little princess was about to understand, but he couldn't let her really understand.
He was cowardly.
Chu Mo knew it clearly.
As he expected, Jing Xuan didn't think twice and followed him.
She was a little angry, even her words were puffed up: "I want to go shopping with Sister Li tomorrow, give me money."
"Chu Xue has it."
"I want to ask you for it!" Jing Yu said fiercely.
Chu Mo was helpless: "Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow morning."
"A lot!"
"Okay, I can even buy this street."
“Tsk.”
Jing Xuan was very happy, but also felt a little unhappy, and her heart was very complicated.
[Tsk, what a bastard!] 】
Chu Mo: “…”
Yes, I am.
