"Xiao Sui, you're hurting me."
Ying Xixi frowned.
Xiao Sui quickly released his hands from holding Ying Xixi's shoulders, "I'm sorry, Xixi, I can't change the age gap between us, but I will make it up to you in other ways. Please don't leave me..."
Xiao Sui's eyes were a little red, and if you looked closely, you could see the faint darkness and unfathomable depth in his eyes.
Ying Xixi inexplicably felt a chill on her back. She had reason to suspect that Xiao Sui might have a yandere nature.
No, why is it that every male protagonist she meets has a dark side?
Ying Xixi didn't want to tease Xiao Sui anymore, and comforted him in a firm tone.
"Xiao Sui, I don't dislike you, nor do I say I don't want you. Don't worry too much.
In short, we have decided to get married, and I will not abandon you.
It's getting late now, go find the matchmaker. Didn't she say she'd come to propose marriage tomorrow?"
When Xiao Sui heard this, his worries were soothed, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally fell back into his stomach.
"Okay, I'll come and propose tomorrow morning. See you tomorrow, Xixi."
Xiao Sui spoke in a low voice, looking at Ying Xixi with possessive eyes, as if he wanted to take her for himself right now.
But because he was in public at the moment, he could only suppress his secret thoughts.
"See you tomorrow. I'm going back now."
Ying Xixi waved to Xiao Sui and left. Her graceful departure made Xiao Sui feel jealous.
Although Xixi said that she also liked him, he always felt a sense of unreality.
To him, Xixi was like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, while now he was just a bug in the mud.
The insects longed for the bright moon and wanted to get the bright moon.
What about the bright moon?
Does Jiaoyue really like insects?
Everything that Bright Moon brought to him was like a dream, making this insect feel full of unreality...
Xiao Sui looked at the slim figure of the little girl not far away. The panic and worry in his heart not only did not decrease in the slightest, but became even more intense.
Xiao Sui found a matchmaker in the town, bought some things for proposing marriage, confirmed the time with the matchmaker, and then returned to the small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, An Lin was processing a pheasant, while Dahei was lying beside him, drooling at the sight of the pheasant.
When Xiao Sui saw An Lin, he remembered that there was another person here.
"An Lin, you're still here. I thought you went back."
Xiao Sui said hello to An Lin, and went back into the house to put down the bags of things he used for proposing marriage before coming out.
As soon as he came out, An Lin and Da Hei came up to him with shining eyes.
"Woof woof!"
The master smells like a two-legged girl!
Why didn’t the useless master bring the two-legged girl back?
Xiao Sui couldn't understand Dahei's dog language, but he could see the disdain in Dahei's eyes when he looked at him.
Xiao Sui: “…”
"Sir, are you... planning to propose marriage tomorrow?"
An Lin was quite knowledgeable. He guessed it just by seeing the things Xiao Sui brought back.
Xiao Sui nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare food.
Hearing Xiao Sui's affirmation, An Lin suddenly became excited.
"Proposing marriage? Sir, are you really going to propose marriage? Sir, whose family is the girl you like?
So you are going to get married soon?
Can I come to your wedding reception?
And is it possible to tell other people about your marriage?
Sir, you......"
An Lin followed Xiao Sui and talked a lot.
Xiao Sui waited until he finally finished what he wanted to say before speaking.
"I'm not sure when I'm getting married, but you can come and join me on that day.
As for the brothers in the barracks, you don’t have to tell everyone, just tell a few people.
If they have time, you can come and join them."
An Lin nodded quickly upon hearing this. "Okay, okay! We'll definitely come and join us then! But sir, are you...really not planning on returning to the barracks?"
When this matter was mentioned again, An Lin's expression was still somewhat conflicted and worried.
“I can’t say for sure what will happen in the future, but for now, I won’t be going back.
From now on, you won’t have to come all the way here to persuade me about this matter.”
Xiao Sui lowered his eyes and was busy with his hands, his tone light.
An Lin sighed, "But why? Young Master, you are the backbone of all of us!
Everyone feels empty inside when you're not home for a day.
In recent years, the border situation has stabilized.
We practice normally every day and live a very stable life.
Logically speaking, such a peaceful and stable life was what everyone dreamed of in the past.
But since you left, even though we live this kind of life, we still feel empty in our hearts.
Everyone is looking forward to your return, but we dare not disturb your life in the mountains too much."
Xiao Sui's eyes showed bitterness, but he still did not explain why he did not return to the military camp.
Sometimes there is no need to say too much about some reasons.
He changed the subject.
"An Lin, I wrote a letter and sent someone to the capital to deliver it to the emperor. What happened next?
What did the Emperor say or do afterwards?"
When it comes to this matter, An Lin has a lot to say.
"Sir, it's been almost four years, and you finally brought this up!
After you left, the emperor sent a message saying that you were still young and it was not time for you to retire and return home.
But if you really want to take a break, he will certainly agree.
However, if the time comes when the country needs you, the emperor hopes that you can stand up and continue to defend the country, just like the old general and your two brothers.
This is roughly what the emperor said. I came to see you several times these days and wanted to tell you about this, but you never mentioned it on your own initiative. I didn't know whether I should talk about it or not, so I hesitated and didn't say anything.
I've been holding it in for so many years, and now I can finally say it out loud!"
An Lin breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sui frowned.
The emperor's message seemed to be fine, but why did it make people feel so uncomfortable?
"Who did the Emperor send to replace me in the past few years?
Or what was done with the military camps on the border?"
An Lin thought for a moment, "The Emperor has sent General Zhao Yong to the barracks to lead us.
As for other things, there is nothing more.
My lord, when you return, General Zhao Yong will surely have left."
Xiao Sui curled the corner of his mouth and said, "That's hard to say." It's even unclear whether he can go back.
"Okay, I'm going to cook. If you want to stay for dinner, come and help."
An Lin was still a little reluctant to finish talking about these things, but Xiao Sui stopped talking.
He had no choice but to help with cooking, and whispered to Xiao Sui from time to time.
