Chapter 288 The Departing Heart
Because he had to pack his luggage and do many other things, Jiji did not follow the prince directly today, and waited for someone from the palace to pick him up later.
Seeing that the prince valued Gigi so much, the master felt relieved and went to prepare dinner early, leaving the prince to continue planning future matters with Gigi.
The prince became more and more engaged in his speech, as if he wanted to use Gigi as his right-hand man.
He was very eloquent, with clear logic and careful presentation. Xu Chuchu couldn't help but listen attentively.
Xiao Yu originally wanted to take Xu Chuchu to another villa to chat for a while, but he didn't dare to disturb her.
"It's almost time for dinner." He suddenly said.
If you don’t disturb Xu Chuchu, then disturb the prince.
"Oh, I see." The prince finally stopped and smiled, "You're welcome."
He was being polite for a long time, but Xiao Yu didn't respond to what everyone thought was the "Stay and have a quick meal" suggestion. He just looked at him silently.
Okay, it turns out that the sentence "It's time for dinner" is not to keep him for dinner, but to send him back to eat.
The prince: “…”
"Alright, alright." The prince said helplessly, "This is your home, I won't stay any longer."
He gave Gigi a few final instructions and prepared to leave.
Xiao Yuze didn't feel that he was driving the guest away at all. He was already very tolerant for disturbing the warmth between him and Xu Chuchu for so long, okay?
Since it’s not dinner time yet, it’s not too much to continue asking for kisses, right?
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing..." The prince walked to the door and then turned back.
"What else!" Xiao Yu suddenly shouted, startling everyone.
"Ah, why are you in such a hurry? Your family doesn't need me to make a living." The prince took out a small box from his sleeve. "This is the remnant we found when we searched the Imperial Observatory."
"When the Grand Master died, the physiognomists from the Imperial Observatory fled upon hearing the noise, and the materials and treasures in the warehouse were also looted. Only a box was left under the cabinet. It would be a waste for us to keep it, but you might find it useful."
Seeing that Xiao Yu was unable to get up, he handed it directly to Xu Chuchu.
Xu Chuchu opened it and found a large piece of spice inside. He smelled it and found the aroma familiar, but more intense. He blurted out, "This is the incense burned in his Big Buddha Zen Temple!"
Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu had smelled this kind of spice before when they went to the temple. It can make the person who inhales it hallucinate and see what he or she desires. The deeper the desire in the heart, the easier it is for the fantasy to appear.
Even those who were just starting out in cultivation had seen the master's vision there.
Temples use this kind of incense to make worshippers mistakenly believe that the temple is effective and thus donate more money.
She made a rough estimate and realized that the incense burned in the Big Buddha Temple was not pure incense, but small pieces were mixed with other spices.
Such a large piece of incense can probably be burned for several years in the temple, which shows how precious this incense is.
"I'm glad Miss Xu recognized it," the prince continued. "I'm sure you also know its use. It wouldn't be a waste to give it to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Although Xu Chuchu had not yet figured out how to use it, its value was precious enough. At least she couldn't refine it.
"He's really leaving this time." The prince's eyes fell on Xiao Yu.
"Goodbye." Xiao Yu nodded.
The prince turned around and hesitated to speak, but finally said, "I rarely see such a lively atmosphere in your house. Will there be a chance for us to meet again in the future?"
It seems that he had already anticipated that Xiao Yu would leave the capital.
"Maybe." Xiao Yu said softly.
It was not until this moment that his hard heart began to melt a little.
"Okay, come to me if you need anything. If the wedding is held in the capital, remember to call me." The prince didn't say anything else and left quickly.
The yard finally became deserted as Xiao Yu had hoped. He looked at Xu Chuchu and found that she had covered the spices and placed them beside her, looking at him gently.
"What's wrong?" He pulled Xu Chuchu to his side.
Xu Chuchu leaned against him gently: "I was thinking, actually, the prince is quite good to you. This is also the first time I heard you call him brother today."
"The Crown Prince is a good person." Xiao Yu was harsh on him outwardly, but secretly he still spoke highly of him. "He is... the one who treats me closest among all my relatives."
"That's all though," he added immediately.
Xu Chuchu also said: "If you don't want to leave, we can stay here."
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" Xiao Yu laughed. "The Crown Prince is nothing. Your Master and Junior Brothers are your true family, right? Do you want to stay here?"
If possible, Xu Chuchu really didn't want to be separated from her master Jiji, but she knew very well that after the last battle, if they stayed in the capital, they would have countless troubles.
The court is wary of them, the people are superstitious about them, and Jiji's efforts to revive the Shen family are affected... Their ordinary lives will also be endlessly disturbed.
It's ridiculous to say that the person who has contributed the most and is the most heroic is the one who is least able to fit in.
But most importantly, there are too many unbearable and lonely memories here.
If you still want to have a good future, you must go out.
"Are you sad?" Xiao Yu asked softly, "Master, go help Jiji."
"I'm not sad." Xu Chuchu lowered her head. "I'm an adult now. There's no reason for me to compete with a child for favor. Besides, if I were the master, I would make the same choice."
Xiao Yu touched her head and said, "You've made so many excuses, and you still say you're not sad."
"Don't expose me."
"I'll stay with you from now on."
"……Um."
"My hand..." Xiao Yu once again raised his crippled arm, "I will definitely find a way to heal it. Don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible, okay?"
He really cared about his injured hand and was worried that Xu Chuchu would dislike it in the future.
This hand was broken for her, so of course she would be touched and not care now.
But what about later? After a long time, if she forgets how moved she is now, and if other outstanding suitors appear, will she feel disgusted?
Who wouldn’t get tired of taking care of a disabled person day after day?
Xiao Yu didn't think Xu Chuchu was a fickle girl, he just felt frightened.
"It doesn't matter if both arms are broken." Xu Chuchu simply made a big joke, "You seem to care about me?"
If other clumsy people heard this joke, they would definitely be angry, but Xiao Yu was more relaxed.
"Not only that, I also want to hug you with both hands."
I want to protect you with my two hands and accompany you with my healthy body.
