Yu Jiao was a little nervous, which was unusual for her. Perhaps it was because she really regarded Liu Ziqi as her brother, which was why she was particularly concerned about whether he and Yu Qizhe could get along well.
The green curtain of the carriage swayed slightly and was lifted by a bony hand. Liu Ziqi got on the carriage, bringing a gust of cold air with him. Yu Jiao raised her eyes to look at the expression on his face and called him "Big Brother".
Liu Ziqi's expression softened a lot. He was reluctant to mention what he had said to Yu Qizhe in front of Yu Jiao. When he brought her to Beijing, he had said that he would not ask about her marriage. It was not easy for Yu Jiao to get close to him. Liu Ziqi was looking forward to Yu Jiao and was always a little cautious.
Liu Ziqi touched Yu Jiao's head and thought that her coming-of-age ceremony would be in a few days. He couldn't help but think that it would have been great if he had found Yu Jiao earlier and brought her back.
The carriage started moving. Yu Jiao was silent for a long time before she asked softly, "Big brother, do you dislike Yu Qizhe?"
Liu Ziqi took out the hand warmer he had prepared and handed it to Yu Jiao. His expression showed no clues. He said, "I haven't had much contact with this person, so I can't say whether I like him or not."
Yu Jiao saw it all just now. The two men avoided her and spoke. The atmosphere was very subtle and their expressions were obviously not good.
She tugged at Liu Ziqi's sleeve and smiled softly, "Big brother, why don't you get to know him more? He only looks cold, but he's actually a very good person. At that time, I did something stupid and got injured in the leg. No one in the Yu family cared about my life or death, but he was the only one who brought me water and food. Although he looked cold and his words were sharp, and he seemed very unkind, after I begged him softly, he went to find medicine for me and helped me apply the medicine."
Yu Jiao recalled the time when she opened her eyes in the cramped and shabby storage room of the Yu family and saw Yu Qizhe. There was a hint of smile in her eyes. She remembered that she had teased Yu Qizhe wantonly and boldly at that time, but in return she received his cold and disgusted response: "You are shameless!"
So much time has passed without me noticing, but the first moment we met is still particularly clear and vivid in my mind.
The only small window in the dark storage room was tightly sealed. She had just woken up and didn't know what day it was. Her legs and chest were aching badly. He pushed open the shabby wooden door, bringing in bright sunlight.
In the backlight, the wide-sleeved green shirt is like a touch of green cloud and smoke on the colorful river bank, making the dark and silent little wooden house lively. The young man's clean face is covered with a layer of frost, and his peach blossom eyes, which should be bright, hide the coldness like ice in the morning winter.
Now that I think about it, she was probably attracted to Yu Qizhe when she first met him.
Seeing Yu Jiao's dazed smile that only came from lost in memories, Liu Ziqi's eyes became more complicated. He always felt that Yu Jiao was still young, and how could a young person's love be true? It was just a passion that would fade away soon.
Today, I realize that neither of them has the mentality of a young man.
"What do you like about him?" Liu Ziqi looked at Yu Jiao and suddenly asked.
Yu Jiao came back to her senses, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Big brother, do you have a girl you like?"
Liu Ziqi was stunned and shook his head.
Yu Jiao smiled, she looked towards the shaking curtain and said slowly, "If you really want me to say what I like about him, I can't really say it. There is probably no reason to like someone. If you say I like his talent, I think there must be many people in the world who are more talented than him. If you say I like his good looks, there are many men who are better looking than him. If you say I like his personality, he is so taciturn, and his personality is really not likable."
Yu Jiao withdrew her gaze from the swaying green curtain. Her voice became a little softer, and she lowered her eyes to look at her fingers. "But I just like him, not anyone else. There is probably no reason to like this kind of thing."
Yu Jiao never thought that liking someone can be influenced by others, and liking someone is uncontrollable.
Maybe it just happened that the person she met when she came to Taiyan was Yu Qizhe, and not someone else.
Just happened to meet him.
After listening to Yu Jiao's words, Liu Ziqi fell into silence. Perhaps he had too many things in his heart, such as national hatred and family feuds, so until today, he had never liked anyone and had never met such a person.
He couldn't empathize with Yu Jiao's words. Liu Ziqi couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. He thought Yu Qizhe was too scheming and too cunning. Wasn't he the same kind of person?
Girls' feelings are always sincere and pure, unlike men's which are mixed with too many other things. Nowadays, when men marry a wife, their first choice is a dignified and generous woman, virtuous and sensible woman, who can manage the house well, no matter whether they like her or not.
Men are always greedy, wanting to marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine, but women have no choice but to accept their fate and have no choice in what kind of man they marry.
Liu Ziqi had to examine himself. Was what he thought was being good to Yu Jiao and considering Yu Jiao really for her good, or was he just doing some self-righteous wrong things in the name of doing good for her?
Outside the gate of the Mu Mansion, Yu Qizhe watched the carriage go away until it disappeared. He felt a sinking feeling inexplicably in his heart. He didn't know if it was because of the influence of Liu Ziqi's words, which made him feel that he would be completely separated from Yu Jiao in the future just like today.
