However, Wen Jian was woken up in the end. Wen Jian heard her father's cough in her sleep and thought it was her imagination, but when she woke up, she still heard her father's voice. Jane felt confused, so she rubbed her sleepy eyes and got out of bed. She went out to take a look, and sure enough, she saw her father sitting on the stone steps outside the door. She didn't know how long her father had been sitting there, with a black hair on his face. A lot of frost and snow fell, making it look a bit cold.
Wen Jian walked over ignorantly, sat down, raised her head and looked at her father's face, her voice was childish and confused as if she had just woken up, "Dad, why are you sitting here?"
Ji Xubai lowered his head and looked at Wen Jian, his voice was gentle, and no emotion could be heard at all, "Daddy is waiting for mother to come back."
After hearing this, Wen Jian became even more confused and confused, "Isn't mother sleeping?"
"No, mother has gone out and father is waiting for her to come back. Little Jane should go back to the house and sleep first."
Wen Jian felt something was strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she had to say, "Then little Jian will accompany daddy to wait for mother to come back."
Ji Xubai paused for a moment, and wanted to reach out and touch the child's head, but then he remembered that his hands were too cold, so he didn't even have the courage to touch the child. Ji Xubai muttered lightly: "Little Jane, be obedient, dad." Just wait alone, you go back to the house first."
Wen Jian was confused: "Dad, where did mother go?"
Ji Xubai lowered his eyes and was quiet for a moment, then coughed and said hoarsely: "Dad doesn't know either, but he has to wait for her to come back because your mother promised to marry him tomorrow."
When Wen Jian heard this, she didn't know why, but she became scared. No matter what, Wen Jian was just a child. Wen Jian's eyes slowly turned red. She didn't know whether it was because it was too cold outside or because of her emotions. There were some violent ups and downs, and Wen Jian's voice trembled slightly as she said, "Does mother no longer want little Jian?"
"Nonsense, your mother can do without anyone, and she will not do away with Xiao Jian. Xiao Jian, please be obedient and go back to the house first, okay?" Ji Xubai finished this sentence to Wen Jian in as gentle a tone as possible.
Wen Jian hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded obediently and stood up. When she was about to leave, she couldn't help but turn around and tell her father, "Dad, my mother likes you the most."
When Ji Xubai heard this, his eyes really smiled, and he nodded: "Dad thinks so too."
When Wen Jian returned to the house, Ji Xubai had to suppress a low cough. He was afraid that it would disturb little Jian, and he didn't know the point of sitting here.
But he had to wait until dawn, until his bride appeared.
If not, if Wen Zhigu didn't show up...
He then went to look for her, to the ends of the earth.
Ji Xubai felt even more heartbroken when he thought of this.
He thought that he deserved it. He owed Zhigu too much in his life, and he had burdened her too much, so she had to leave him.
It was he who managed to steal happiness for a period of time, thinking that he would always be happy from now on...
What's more, he forgot that the sins he had committed were said to be forgiven, but one day they would be torn apart again. Once they were torn apart, Wen Zhigu would still leave him.
Ji Xubai inadvertently raised his eyes and saw the familiar light cyan clothes slipping down from the corner not far away, fluttering slightly in the wind.
Like a lonely elf, drifting helplessly.
