Chapter 572 Let’s go home
Si Linglong couldn't explain how she felt.
She wanted Li Sheng to stay, but she also hoped her brother would come and take her home.
Perhaps, it was because since she adopted Li Sheng, this was the first time that Li Sheng explicitly rejected her arrangement and expressed his own thoughts.
That means she has begun to learn to think independently as a person and decide what she likes.
[I just don’t know…what my brother is thinking. 】
[If it hasn’t come by this time, it probably won’t come. ]
Si Linglong could also understand it. After all, she grew up with Brother Ba, and some little monsters would appear around Brother Ba from time to time.
She is used to it.
But it should still be difficult for ordinary people to accept.
If his brother didn't come, Li Sheng would be disappointed.
Si Linglong was thinking this when Shu Hong came over with a hot towel. She took one and reached out to pull Li Sheng over to wipe her hands herself. She hesitated about how to start the conversation with her.
"Fenfen, if my brother can't..."
When Li Sheng heard the word "brother", she raised her head slightly, and her clear black eyes just looked at her, as if waiting for her next words.
Si Linglong was stared at by her pure eyes, and she felt as if her throat was blocked for some reason. Her eyelashes moved slightly, and she was about to speak again, but she saw a little palace maid coming over from the other end of the corridor and bowing respectfully to her.
"My lady, Master Si has arrived at the palace gates and said he is here to take my cousin out of the palace."
Si Linglong was stunned at first. Before she could react, Li Sheng beside her had already stood up, with a look of surprise on his face, "Brother is here to pick me up?"
Didn’t we agree to wait for her at home?
Li Sheng was somewhat happy, but thinking that he would not see Linglong again after leaving the palace, he subconsciously looked at Linglong.
When Si Linglong saw her like this, she suddenly felt a sour feeling in her chest.
It's only been half a month, and her position in Li Sheng's heart has already been squeezed out by her brother.
At this moment, Si Linglong suddenly understood where Xue Shan came up with all those sour little schemes.
She was jealous too.
But even though she felt jealous, seeing Li Sheng like this, Si Linglong was still happy for her. She reached out and touched the little girl in front of her who was already at her chin. Si Linglong just said,
"I'll have someone take you there. If you're bullied outside the palace again, remember to have your brother tell me not to hide it from me like you did this time."
Li Sheng nodded, very obediently and seriously, "Yes."
After a pause, he continued, "I won't be bullied again. Brother, protect me."
Si Linglong: ...
[Damn, I'm jealous again.]
Why does it feel like the cabbage was inexplicably pulled out of the ground before I even started growing it? ?
…
At the palace gate.
Si Jinyu stood in front of the carriage. Before him was the imperial city shrouded in the sunset glow. The towering palace in the distance looked even more majestic and majestic under the reflection of the setting sun. Even though he was in it at the moment, it still felt far away and out of reach.
Si Jinyu was in a trance, and when he moved his eyes downward, he saw a familiar figure slowly approaching the palace alley not far away, led by a palace servant.
The moment she met his gaze, the girl's eyes seemed to be tinged with a little bit of rosy light, bright and shining as if the evening light was shining through. Then, she simply left the palace maid who was still leading the way and trotted towards him, holding up her skirt.
Si Jinyu looked at her, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He stretched out his hand slightly towards her, as if he was worried that he could catch her in time if she fell.
But she didn't fall. She just floated in front of him like a butterfly, her face full of joy that could not be expressed in words. Just like every time she saw him in the past, she called him crisply, "Brother!"
Si Jinyu also responded to her in a low voice as before, then turned around and said in a reserved and dignified voice,
"Let's go home."
Li Sheng's eyes were filled with rosy clouds. In that rosy cloud, only the elegant and kind back of the man became clearer. She looked at his back, and she should be obedient and serious.
"Um!"
…
An hour later.
Li Sheng finally returned to the room in her brother's courtyard, only to then remember that she had forgotten to bring back the clothes she had brought into the palace.
Those were some of her favorite clothes.
Li Sheng thought she had to get it back, so she ran to her brother's room next door, wanting him to tell Linglong to give her the clothes.
However, as soon as I entered the room, my eyes were attracted by the items Si Jinyu placed beside the bed.
She carefully identified the smell on it and confirmed that it was her own cloth tiger. She couldn't help but point at the cloth tiger and ask curiously,
"Brother, why is my rag tiger here with you?"
When she went out today, she clearly put it on her bed.
Si Jinyu: ...
It's rare that Si Jinyu couldn't answer this question.
Yes, why did he take the rag tiger she slept with into his room...
Si Jinyu was speaking in a hoarse voice when suddenly, he saw a flash of brown figure from the corner of his eye, and immediately regained his usual calmness and composure.
"When I came back, the tiger was already here. Maybe... the little fox brought it here."
Li Sheng understood clearly.
That's right.
