As Ao Luanjing led the doctor into the cabin on the second floor with tears streaming down her face, Sheng Suihe, who was sitting on the edge of the couch on the third floor, had been staring at Sheng Weiqiao in front of him for a long time.
The girl was obviously sleeping soundly. Although his gaze became more and more fierce, she was still unaware. Her eyes were closed tightly, breathing evenly, and she lay obediently on her back among the jade pillow and brocade quilt.
It seemed that something unhappy happened before falling asleep, so her small cherry-like mouth pouted slightly, and two or three strands of hair were slightly messy scattered around her lips, making her lips look more snowy and red, and her black hair was like sandalwood.
In the darkest hour before dawn, there was only one night light in the room, so dim that it was difficult to see clearly.
Sheng Suihe's face was blurred in this gloomy gloom, but his eyes were still as bright as stars.
"When I saw this girl as a child the year before last, I thought she was just a pretty, delicate and willful child." The familiar sound of waves came from the partially hidden porthole window, making his eyes trance for a moment, "I didn't expect that in just two years, If I'm in the same room with her again, even if she's asleep and doesn't know I'm there, I can no longer treat her as a little girl."
In fact, Sheng Weiqiao was thirteen the year before last, which was an age where he could talk about marriage.
But at that time, Sheng Suihe really didn't have any thoughts about her - he didn't expect to drag her out of the bed in the middle of the night wearing only obscene clothes and dress her with his own hands.
After all, he is here to be someone's older brother, not to seduce someone's daughter.
Unexpectedly, he persisted in this idea for two years. No, it should have been less than two years. He unilaterally tore up the agreement with Sheng Lanci and started to have thoughts about this girl. Before that, he had just kept himself focused on business, and the romantic experience Too little thought, thinking that this little sentiment is not worth mentioning.
Later, after Mrs. Sheng told the story about Xu Zijing, he was surprised to find that he didn't feel Sheng Weiqiao's shouting and shouting at all. He knew that the problem was serious, but after being impetuous for a while, he could still calm down and think about countermeasures.
But just now, even though he knew that Sheng Weiqiao was probably planning to marry into the Xu family to intimidate Xu Baomo, he still couldn't control his loss when he heard the words "quasi-husband" - everyone present at the time was probably Thinking that he accidentally broke the tea bowl.
But in fact, he deliberately knocked the tea bowl to the ground.
This was not because he used this method to break the confrontation between Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo, but because the moment he heard the words "quasi-husband", he instinctively used the tea bowl in his hand as a hidden weapon to hit Xu Baomo's vital part!
Fortunately, after taking action, he reacted quickly and knocked down the tea bowl again before he could cover it up!
... After that, he asked Sheng Weiqiao to leave first, and he comforted Xu Baomo with a few words, so why not give himself some time to calm down
But even after calming down for a moment while talking to Xu Baomo, he finally couldn't hold it back and chased up the stairs, trying to get a promise from Sheng Weiqiao: She was just talking and had no intention of marrying into the Xu family.
It's a pity that Sheng Weiqiao was not willing to promise not to say anything like this. He also meant to marry into the Xu family. Sheng Suihe knew this. This was probably because his questioning aroused the girl's rebellious mood. , the more she persuaded her not to marry Xu Baomo, the more she was so angry that she decided to marry him!
The correct approach is to wait a day or two for Sheng Weiqiao to calm down a bit, and then talk about it slowly. By then, Sheng Weiqiao will probably dislike Xu Baomo. After all, this girl has lost affection for Xu Baomo since she learned about Xu Baomo's true nature the year before last. Otherwise, she wouldn't have believed it just now when Ao Luanjing said that Xu Baomo was rude.
This shows that Sheng Weiqiao has great distrust of Xu Baomo.
How could she risk her whole life just because of a moment of anger
But knowing is one thing, taking action is another.
After Sheng Suihe returned to his room, he packed up and lay down on the couch, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.
The more he couldn't sleep, the more he wanted to ask Sheng Weiqiao for a clear answer. Only if she personally promised not to marry Xu Baomo could he rest assured - even if he knew that doing so seriously would only arouse Sheng Weiqiao's resentment and doubts, and even reveal his secrets. In my true thoughts, I completely broke with him.
However, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who always prided himself on being good at controlling his emotions, could not suppress the jealousy and fear in his heart. After much thought, he finally got up and came up quietly.
When he came up and found that Sheng Weiqiao had fallen asleep, he didn't know whether he was relieved or disappointed.
At this moment, his mind was wandering, as if he was in a dream. He didn't know how long it had passed, but he felt a slight pain in his fingertips. When he woke up, he saw that he had reached out and touched the girl's lips at some point. This action made him feel sad. The girl subconsciously bit his thumb, but maybe because she was still dreaming, the bite wasn't heavy. Sheng Suihe struggled to get up with a little force.
He held his thumb in front of him and looked at the shallow teeth marks. He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and felt that his mood at this moment was indescribably strange: neither happy nor unhappy...
He finally took a look at the dim sky outside, rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and left quietly.
Shortly after Sheng Suihe returned to his room, the east gradually turned white, and the sound of people getting up gradually came from the boat.
Since last night's affairs had not officially ended, and thinking that he would not be able to get up late today, he simply stopped going to bed and opened the door directly to ask someone to help him freshen up.
Just after cleaning up, the servants walked out with the silver basin. Unexpectedly, Sheng Weiqiao came unexpectedly. The girl obviously got up in a hurry. Her makeup and makeup were very simple. To save trouble, she didn't even wear the usual Suiyun bun, but a two-year-old girl. The double-snail bun with the most ties in the front.
There is no makeup applied on the porcelain-like skin. Looking at the sunlight shining into the cabin at this moment, there is a kind of crystal clear, beautiful and full of vitality.
"Good girl, why are you here so early?" After all, I just went to stay in someone else's tent for a long time and took advantage of it. Even though Sheng Suihe climbed down from the third floor, he still felt that he couldn't let him go. Sheng Weiqiao personally promised that he would not marry into the Xu family, which was a bit aggrieved, but now that Sheng Weiqiao came to the second floor in person, he still felt guilty. Pretending to be calm, he invited her to sit down and serve tea, and carefully tested whether she was actually awake just now. Or maybe he is conscious even though he is not awake, and is he here to ask questions
Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao sighed when he heard this, but said: "Isn't it because of what happened last night? Although cousin Ao took the Ao Luan mirror away last night, this matter is not completely over in the end, and there will still be something to do after all. Subsequent."
Sheng Suihe said "hmm" and continued to guess her purpose of coming, saying, "What does Guainannan mean?"
"There's nothing good to say about Ao Luanjing. In the past, I only thought that she was different from what she looked like, but now it seems to be completely unreasonable." Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "What I care about is Cousin Ao. From what he said last night, Judging from his actions, he doesn’t know what Ao Luanjing does in private, and he is also a reasonable person. I am thinking that with his temper, I am afraid that today, when he comes to apologize with Ao Luanjing, I will definitely not want to stay on our boat any longer, and I will say goodbye when I get to the next ferry!"
"Farewell..." Sheng Suihe's eyes flashed, and he lowered his eyes to cover up the moment of gloominess - he actually guessed what happened last night on the spot, so he also felt that Ao Luan Xiao was unlucky. Yes, it was a good trip that could have been a joyful way to enhance my experience, but instead I encountered such a dragging sister.
But now after hearing Sheng Weiqiao say the word "care", why do I feel that Ao Luanxiao's god sister deserves to be cheated for not being strict
After pondering for a moment, he immediately said, "Good girl, you are probably worried that if the Ao brothers and sisters leave the ship and go ashore and return to Nanfeng County, what kind of discussion will it cause that will be detrimental to them?"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao nodding, he immediately said, "Actually, this is easy to solve. Let's just say that Miss Ao is not accustomed to the local environment, is not used to life at sea, and has contracted a disease, so she cannot stay on the ship. She is also afraid of something happening in an unfamiliar place. Brother Wei and Brother Xu Shi both have to go to Chang'an to take the exam, so there is no way they can delay their journey for her. Apart from letting them disembark and slowly return to Nanfeng County, is there any other way?"
"If word gets out, others will only say that Miss Ao is a girl, and some are fragile. How can they talk about and laugh at them?"
It's really funny. Last night, Sheng Weiqiao married Xu Baomo, which made Sheng Suihe so upset that he almost killed someone. Today, Ao Luanxiao was also on Sheng Weiqiao's concern list - Xu Baomo, after all She was also going to Chang'an to take the exam, so Sheng Suihe couldn't just let him go easily. How could Ao Luanxiao not take the opportunity to kill him now? !
At that moment, he spared no effort to persuade, "Brother, I have no objection if we continue to keep them on the ship. I don't mind if my dear girl is so generous! But you think, what happened last night is not only related to you, Brother Xu Shi is the one who bears the brunt." ! The bruise on his shoulder is so big that I don’t know if it will fade away completely before arriving in Chang’an! Regardless of whether it can or not, after meeting Ning Weihou and his wife this time, I’m afraid the first thing we brothers and sisters will do is apologize! After all, he is here Something happened on our boat."
"You said that our brothers and sisters are still embarrassed like this, but how will the Ao brothers and sisters deal with themselves when the time comes?"
"Brother Xu Shi is, after all, the only son of Ningweihou and his wife, and he has been left in Cangwu County all year round to accompany Mr. Xu and Mrs. If you and your parents finally meet each other after being separated for more than ten years, and they find that you are injured, even if it is an accident, even if it is an accidental injury caused by an old friend, do you think they will not be angry or feel distressed?"
"Especially Brother Xu Shi's injury. I asked about it later. Not only was it not an accident, but it was deliberately designed by Miss Ao!"
"If the Marquis Ningwei and his wife fall in love with their son, how embarrassing would it be to question Miss Ao in public?"
"How to step down?"
"Wouldn't this make the Ao brothers and sisters even more embarrassed?"
Sheng Suihe came to the conclusion, "So not only can we not keep them, we must also take the initiative to persuade them to disembark. Otherwise, in the current situation, if we really go to Chang'an, they might think that we are deliberately forcing them to see Ning Weihou and his wife." !”
At this point, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He seemed to be calm, but in fact he was anxiously observing Sheng Weiqiao's expression, hoping that she could be coaxed by him to nod.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Weiqiao remained silent for a long time after hearing this. After a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane thoughtfully. Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane and felt that his hair stood on end, and then she spoke slowly, What he was talking about was not his stance on the issue of whether the Ao brothers and sisters should stay or not, but: "I remember my brother mentioned Ao Luanjing last night. Everyone in front of us and behind us always referred to him as a 'cousin'. How come he came over one night and suddenly changed into a 'cousin'?" 'Miss'?"
