Chapter 86 I'm sorry, I'm worse than a beast, but I still can't let you go
The snow had begun to melt, and the farm was wet everywhere. Crystal clear water droplets slowly slid down the wooden grape racks, dripping and wetting the wooden rattan chairs placed underneath.
Huaiwen was busy moving the chair out. The weather was good, so he planned to put it in a sunny place to dry in the sun.
Huaiwu leaned against the wooden frame with his arms folded, not helping but just watching, occasionally commenting in a sarcastic tone: "You can't even move this, don't you eat on weekdays?"
Huaiwen turned around and glared at him, clapped his hands, and retorted: "If you can do it, come on, you just know how to talk."
Huai Wu snorted, raised his chin rather proudly and said, "How can that be possible? I am only responsible for Mr. Shen's safety, not for these trivial matters."
He was arranged by Xiao Zhinian, firstly to protect Chen Zhejiang, and secondly, of course, to report any changes in Chen Zhejiang's situation to Xiao Zhinian at any time.
He always stayed with Huaiwen during this period, but they didn't like each other and occasionally had a quarrel or two.
He felt that Huaiwen was always slow and procrastinating in doing things. Even though washing a bowl only required rinsing it with water to remove dirt, Huaiwen insisted on washing it three or four times, saying that this was the only way to make it clean.
Wow, instead of having this skill, you might as well practice more martial arts.
He looked down on Huaiwen's behavior, and Huaiwen also looked down on him for acting like a big shot. He always added a few unpleasant words to Huaiwen when he was doing things, which made people feel annoyed.
"Then why do you come here to give orders?"
Huaiwen gritted his teeth and yelled at him, saying that he was really troublesome, and then continued to move his chair.
Huaiwu rolled his eyes and walked over without saying a word. He picked up the handle of the wooden rattan chair with one hand and carried it away, moving it into the sunlight.
He even turned around and gave Huaiwen a look that said, "See, you're the only one who can't do it."
Huaiwen: “…”
This kid is really going too far!
I will definitely sue Mr. Shen when he wakes up! Call him so arrogant!
Just when the two were about to quarrel, they heard some noises coming from the room, and there was no one inside except Shen Zhejiang.
Huaiwen and Huaiwu looked at each other. Could it be that Mr. Shen woke up? you
Dropping the work in their hands, they rushed in to check, but before they got in, the wooden door was creaked open from the inside.
"Mr. Shen."
Shen Zhejiang was wearing a thin outer garment, and was surprised to see Huaiwen and the others standing by the door.
He had slept for a long time, and his face was much thinner than before. He looked sick and lifeless. His body was thinner than a piece of paper, and his bones were particularly visible. He looked like he could be blown down by a gust of wind.
"Xiao Zhinian is not here?"
He asked.
Huaiwu thought he was concerned about Xiao Zhinian's whereabouts, so he spoke for his Majesty, "His Majesty is in the palace handling state affairs. Recently, there has been a war with the northern barbarians on the border, and the Ministry of War is discussing whether to mobilize troops. Mr. Shen, don't worry, His Majesty comes here every day and stays here at night. Normally, His Majesty would have arrived at this time, but now he is probably tripped up by something important."
Just right.
Shen Zhejiang clenched his sleeves, made up his mind, walked around them, and walked outside.
Huaiwen chased after him and asked, "Where are you going, Mr. Shen? You just woke up now, so you should have a good rest first."
Shen Zhejiang didn't listen, and asked as he walked: "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Almost a month."
It's been so long?
This means that Zitang should have returned to the capital. He has to go there. Now, perhaps Zitang is the only one who can help him leave Xiao Zhinian.
He wanted to see Zitang before Xiao Zhinian arrived.
Shen Zhejiang thought about it, and despite Huai Wen and Huai Wu's obstruction, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
However, just outside the gate, the sound of horse hooves came in.
Raise your eyes.
Xiao Zhinian arrived.
Perhaps it was because he saw Shen Zhejiang, a living person, standing in front of him that his eyes became a little dazed. He blinked twice uncertainly, thinking that he was hallucinating.
Shen Zhejiang actually came to greet him?
Xiao Zhinian also felt that he was crazy, how else could it be possible?
He got off the horse and threw the reins behind him. He didn't dare to move forward, fearing that if he touched Shen Zhejiang, he would disappear again and become the Shen Zhejiang who was still lying on the bed, motionless except for breathing and heartbeat.
And what about Shen Zhejiang?
He had already paused.
He didn't expect that Xiao Zhinian would suddenly arrive at this time. Besides, he also knew that as long as Xiao Zhinian was there, it would be almost impossible to go out.
And... Xiao Zhinian has become thinner and more haggard. His handsome face is now covered with fatigue, and there are two dark circles under his eyes that seem to be unable to fade.
Although it was the season when the ice and snow melted, it was still cold. Xiao Zhinian seemed to not know how to take care of himself. He only wore a black robe over his plain clothes, and for some reason, a plain white silk ribbon was tied around his right wrist.
The wind blew, and his robe fluttered, sweeping over the back of his hand.
It’s only been a month, how come it turned out like this?
This man is obviously almost twenty years old, but he still doesn't know how to take care of his body. Does he do whatever he wants just because he is young?
"Is the sir awake?"
Almost in a cautious tone, he whispered to Shen Zhejiang in front of him.
In fact, Shen Zhejiang has not yet figured out how to face Xiao Zhinian, what kind of face he should show, his favorite, or his uncle.
I don’t know, I really don’t know.
Chen Zhejiang simply turned around, trying not to see anything, but Xiao Zhinian quickly stepped forward and hugged him from behind, just like when they met again three years ago.
No longer caring about worldly etiquette, so what even if you are criticized?
Xiao Zhinian held him so tightly, as if putting all his weight on Shen Zhejiang. His shoulders slumped and his emotions collapsed in an instant, but he endured it and didn't say a word.
Shen Zhejiang noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Zhinian, and he stopped trying to break free from him subconsciously, and just let Xiao Zhinian hold him.
What's wrong with him?
"Grandma Huang has passed away. You are all I have left. Shen Zhejiang, please don't leave."
The tremor in Xiao Zhinian's voice was very obvious.
He was afraid and terrified. He didn't dare to imagine what he would do if Shen Zhejiang disappeared again.
The Empress Dowager Liang was already old, and she was upset and tormented by Xiao Zhinian's willful decision. She regretted her past sins even more.
He died before noon.
Xiao Zhinian rushed back to the palace from the farm, but he still didn't have time to see Empress Dowager Liang for the last time.
...I guess the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see him either.
Shen Zhejiang moved his lips: "I..."
Suddenly, his feet were lifted off the air and he was picked up by Xiao Zhinian. He looked slightly startled and reflexively pushed Xiao Zhinian's chest with both hands.
But Xiao Zhinian lowered his head and put his forehead against his.
Shen Zhejiang seemed to see a look of self-loathing and condemnation on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm worse than a beast, and I still can't let you go."
