It's really difficult
In a place where Jiang Jingyuan couldn't see, Jiang Jingjian raised the corner of his mouth, and the thick black mist in his eyes surged rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to clarity.
However, in reality, even if Jiang Jingyuan couldn't see his face, he could guess his expression at the moment - very unexpected. Perhaps this was the tacit understanding and familiarity cultivated over eleven years.
Jiang Jingyuan was rubbed again and again by Jiang Jingjian, and she was completely numb. Her body, mind and spirit were extremely calm and peaceful.
Jiang Jingjian lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in white in his arms. She didn't move and didn't resist, but her shoulders were obviously relaxed. His eyes, which were buried in the shadows, flickered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth rose again.
Suddenly, Jiang Jingyuan clearly sensed what he was thinking. She didn't say anything, and no emotion emerged in her heart.
She just thought, unfortunately, she was not the kind of person who would stop moving forward because of others.
Whether others are strong or weak, and whether she herself continues to forge ahead——
Not relevant.
It was not until today that she deeply understood what Rong Hou said.
"He wants to hold you so badly that as long as you ask, he will do everything he can to get what you want and give it to you, begging you not to leave."
"He won't and dare not use force to keep you."
Jiang Jingyuan recalled this, sighed, opened his arms and hugged the young man in white in front of him.
——What a coincidence, she really is the type to be treated softly and not harshly.
"Poor child..." Jiang Jingyuan thought silently in his heart, letting him rub his hair into a mess, like a chicken coop with weeds.
However, a stick of incense passed...
The two of them were still standing there, one of them was holding the person and rubbing the soft hair on her head with a smile in his eyes, while the other was being held there without moving, looking hopeless.
Jiang Jingyuan's face, buried in his soft white robe, was distorted. A wave of emotion suddenly appeared in his dark eyes, and he spoke in a sullen voice:
"open!"
Rarely, there was a hint of gritted teeth in her tone.
This is too much!
It's simply pushing the envelope!!!
Jiang Jingjian in front of him decisively let go of her hand after hearing the words, took two steps back, raised his hand to tidy up her hair, and in a blink of an eye he saw her unfriendly expression and eyes, so he turned his outstretched hand and slowly tidied up the wrinkles on his robe.
"What a pity..." Jiang Jingjian sighed sadly.
Ever since Jiang Jingyuan grew up and showed a cold personality, he no longer dared to manipulate her, because he knew that Jiang Jingyuan didn't like to be close to others.
Not to mention people, even if flowers and plants accidentally rubbed against Jiang Jingyuan, Jiang Jingyuan would not say it on his face, but he would be unhappy in his heart for most of the day.
It was for this reason that every time Jiang Jingjian wanted to touch her head, he had to restrain himself and pat her shoulder instead... Fortunately, he touched it today. He thought, once there is a first time, there will be a second time. After taking this step, why would he worry about not having the opportunity to get close to Jiang Jingyuan in the future?
Jiang Jingyuan raised her hand to tidy up her hair. What she didn't know was that the corners of her mouth were slightly turned down, revealing her dissatisfaction. The storm in her eyes had subsided, but there were still ripples spreading out in circles.
Jiang Jingjian looked at her expression, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, thinking in his heart: "It's better this way..."
These days, rather than sadness, he felt more fear. He was afraid that Jiang Jingyuan would return to his old self—like a lifeless puppet, expressionless, with the occasional words he uttered blandly, not coldly, but with a tone and voice that was calm and unruffled...
He also liked Jiang Jingyuan like that.
But after seeing Jiang Jingyuan so emotionally lively, how could he endure that kind of loneliness?
Whether she was happy, angry or dissatisfied, Jiang Jingyuan didn't say it, but she smelled of human smoke.
In fact, he didn't just happen to come to see Jiang Jingyuan today, but he only dared to wait outside the palace every day, and asked the palace servants not to tell Jiang Jingyuan.
He wandered silently outside the door, not daring to push it open.
Ever since Jiang Jingyuan came back after waiting for him all morning but still didn't leave, he understood a lot -
Jiang Jingyuan didn't want to see him.
After realizing this, Jiang Jingjian was very panicked and scared, but he didn't want to embarrass Jiang Jingyuan, so he left, leaving behind a few plates of pastries with reluctance but implicit expectation.
Jiang Jingjian watched the girl in front of him wrap herself tightly in her plush cloak and retreat back into her chair. The girl blinked slowly - she was sleepy.
The corners of Jiang Jing's mouth, which had been raised, gradually flattened.
When he heard the noise today and rushed into the hall to see Jiang Jingyuan vomiting blood, he panicked and instinctively thought to himself:
“This is an opportunity.”
It is an opportunity to resolve past grievances with Jiang Jingyuan and even take the relationship to the next level!
The thought flashed through his mind, and he was shocked. He had never thought that the friendship between him and Jiang Jingyuan had to be calculated, but...
He did it anyway, and the result was exactly as he had imagined.
He was immersed in excitement and joy just now. After calming down, he felt the strong sense of guilt rising in his heart with fear, and his mouth suddenly became bitter.
He was terrified of what Jiang Jingyuan would think of him after he found out.
What will Jiang Jingyuan do when she finds out that the brother she has lived with for eleven years is not who she thought he was?
——He felt a little regretful.
Jiang Jingyuan was curled up in a chair with her eyes squinted as if she was too sleepy to be conscious. Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and suddenly opened her eyes wide. Her dark and hazy eyes turned to Jiang Jingjian who was standing in front of her. She glanced up, trying to see the expression of the young man in white.
Jiang Jing gradually felt the inquiring gazes directed at him. His fingers trembled under his sleeves. He forced himself to remain calm and indifferent as he turned sideways. Strands of black hair fluttered with his movements and fell to the corners of his eyes, vaguely blocking Jiang Jingyuan's gaze.
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
Jiang Jingyuan's mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.
She stood up slowly and walked towards Jiang Jingjian, her whole body wrapped in a plush cloak, squinting her eyes from time to time, like a lazy cat walking slowly and steadily, step by step, sounding the sound of judgment.
Jiang Jingjian was filled with guilt. He turned his head away and turned his eyes away from her.
Jiang Jingyuan, who had walked in front of him, followed his movements and took two steps to the left, her dark eyes fixed on Jiang Jingjian. Her face was expressionless, but her eyes inexplicably reminded Jiang Jingjian of some small, furry, chubby bird. Her eyes widened in dissatisfaction...
Jiang Jingjian curled his fingers slightly under his sleeves, and finally let go weakly.
Jiang Jingyuan stared at him silently.
She thought silently in her heart that her personality was obviously very similar to Jiang Jingjian's. Just now, she was controlled by Jiang Jingjian, but now that she made a move, the situation would be reversed, wouldn't it?
"Is there something wrong...?" Jiang Jingjian lowered his eyes and asked.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't say anything.
"Do you want to go take a rest?" Jiang Jingjian said again, "You look very sleepy."
Jiang Jingyuan blinked, let him go, and slowly said, "I'm sleepy, but you said you wanted to go play."
Hearing this, Jiang Jingjian breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his gaze to Jiang Jingyuan and said, "Rest well today and don't run around. I'm talking about someone coming from the palace in a couple of days, and I'll take you there then."
"Yeah." Jiang Jingyuan didn't really want Jiang Jingjian to take her out to play. After agreeing casually, she turned and walked towards the bed behind the unfolded screen.
Although the elixir can heal her wounds, the depleted energy and blood cannot be replenished. She is really sleepy now.
Jiang Jingjian, who was behind her, was stunned for a moment, and then followed her belatedly.
He understood what Jiang Jingyuan meant.
If Jiang Jingyuan cared about it, she would have ignored him. However, the fact that Jiang Jingyuan paid attention to him meant that she didn't care. Or perhaps, Jiang Jingyuan had already noticed something... Jiang Jingjian lowered his eyes, and the mist in his eyes surged rapidly.
Thinking back on Jiang Jingyuan's reaction just now, it was indeed like that. He was frightened and a little panicked, but he didn't seem to be too surprised.
Who told Jiang Jingyuan? When?
yes……
Did the Queen Mother tell Jiang Jingyuan?
Ever since he heard Jiang Jingyuan's words last time, he had paid close attention to Jiang Jingyuan's situation. He did feel that he was facing obvious resistance and had no way of finding out what Jiang Jingyuan did every day.
When to eat and when to sleep? He didn't know any of this.
But he still knew that Jiang Jingyuan went out early in the morning seven days ago.
In his opinion, Jiang Jingyuan had been staying in the palace for the past few days without looking for Jiang Jingqian or his other brothers and sisters, so why did he suddenly go out that day? And he left very solemnly in the morning.
——At that time, he thought that maybe he was here to find him, but he waited and waited but he didn't see him. Finally, he ran to Jiang Jingyuan's palace to wait for him, but he didn't see him either...
Jiang Jingyuan couldn't think of any other reason other than to go see his mother that day.
He felt a little complicated. Why did his mother tell Jiang Jingyuan all this? She must have said this to make Jiang Jingyuan wary of him. Why?
No wonder he couldn’t wait for Jiang Jingyuan that day.
——Even if Jiang Jingyuan was troubled by his excessive nervousness and worry about her before, she would not deliberately avoid him. She would just face him calmly and coldly, just like she did with others.
——Because Jiang Jingyuan knew that hiding sometimes makes people delusional.
Jiang Jingjian sat down on the stool beside Jiang Jingyuan's bed, his eyes drooping and looking a little gloomy.
What did the Queen Mother want to do? Did she want them to fight each other?
With a "hum", Jiang Jingjian subconsciously raised his eyes, the haze in his eyes dissipated, and he looked at the bed that had already been made clean and tidy. Jiang Jingyuan on the bed slowly fell down, making a soft "hum" sound, pulled the quilt to cover his chin, and closed his eyes.
Jiang Jingjian's heart softened unconsciously as he watched her. He reached out to smooth the few strands of hair that had fallen on her face, and tucked in her quilt.
Jiang Jingyuan lay flat on his back with his eyes closed, saying nothing. He just complained silently in his heart: "It's really embarrassing. Jiang Jingjian just fell for this..."
Suddenly, Jiang Jingjian seemed to remember something and asked, "Hey, why didn't you ask who came to the palace these past two days?"
"Aren't you curious?" Jiang Jingjian had always been puzzled by Jiang Jingyuan's calmness, and now he had the chance to ask.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't open his eyes, and said calmly and relaxedly: "Then tell me."
Of course she was curious.
But she was curious, and she also needed the other party to be willing to talk.
It's unavoidable anyway. Instead of worrying about whether the other party will answer, it's better not to ask and just wait.
Jiang Jingjian; “…”
Jiang Jing gradually felt helpless: "I heard that it was Miss Liu Jingyu from the Liu family. Jiang Jing allowed his mother to let Miss Liu stay in the palace for a while."
