There was a hint of determination in Jin Minzhu's eyes, and she seemed to have made a decision.
A smile appeared on his pretty face, and Cheng Yichen still looked at Jin Minzhu quietly, but there was something more in his eyes. If you have to distinguish, there is a sense of guilt.
Everyone in Songbai was obviously shocked by Jin Minzhu's sudden apology. There was a flash of astonishment in Hu Yifeng's eyes, and Ruobai seemed a little surprised as well.
she…
Xiaoying finally reacted, and seeing Jin Minzhu still in the same position, she quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Hey, get up, get up, what are you doing? We said we don't blame you, why are you still... Hey, get up quickly."
Jin Minzhu seemed not to have heard Xiaoying's words and stubbornly maintained her original posture: "I'm sorry."
"Oh, we got it, get up!"
"sorry."
Hu Yifeng's eyes flashed with pity, and he walked up to Jin Minzhu and helped her up: "Alright, alright, get up quickly, we don't blame you. As long as you admit your mistakes and correct them, it's fine."
At this time, Xiu Da also stepped forward and looked at Jin Minzhu: "That's right, we don't blame you. Besides, you are just a child, we won't really be angry with you. Everyone agrees, right?" Xiu Da obviously said the last sentence to everyone in Songbai.
The people in Songbai who had reacted also echoed: "Yes, we don't blame you."
"See, I told you that no one would be angry with you, but you still didn't believe it." Xiaoying chuckled and looked at Jin Minzhu.
The corners of her mouth moved slightly, and Jin Minzhu seemed to want to say something, but she held it back. Forget it, let's talk about this matter after the senior brother comes back in the evening. If I say it rashly at this time, people who don't know will think I have some purpose.
Subconsciously turning her head to look at Cheng Yichen, Jin Minzhu waved to Cheng Yichen, motioning her to come over.
Smiling and nodding, Cheng Yichen walked up to Jin Minzhu, squatted down and touched her head: "Our little Minzhu is so brave. She can put aside her pride and apologize to her brothers and sisters. That's great!" Cheng Yichen gave Jin Minzhu a thumbs up.
Jin Minzhu was praised and scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "No, if it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have learned so much." Jin Minzhu paused for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at Cheng Yichen, "Ouni, your injury... still hurts?"
Injury? Cheng Yichen was slightly stunned, and then he understood what Jin Minzhu meant.
A warm feeling passed through her heart, Cheng Yichen raised her hand and rubbed Jin Minzhu's little head: "It's okay, sister doesn't feel any pain. But our little Minzhu is really amazing. She has already practiced Yuanwudao so well at such a young age. Sister believes that Minzhu will bring honor to Changhai Dojo when she grows up."
Pursing her lips slightly, Jin Minzhu's voice seemed to have something more in it: "But... I don't want to go back."
"Hmm?" Cheng Yichen was slightly stunned, "Why?"
A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and Jin Minzhu said softly, "Because I'm afraid that after I go back, I will forget unnie, and become a devil again. A devil who only knows how to practice Yuanwudao and has no emotions at all." Feeling the other party's obvious daze, Jin Minzhu continued, "Unnie, do you know? I have had a wish since I was a child, that is, to see the world outside Changhai Dojo, and then have a good friend who can play and make trouble with me, who can accompany me when I am tired and do what we like to do; who can always be by my side when I am sad and lonely and tell me jokes. We can practice Yuanwudao together, play games together, and do many, many things together."
Her eyes dimmed, and the smile on Jin Minzhu's face disappeared: "But I know that it was just a dream, an unrealistic hope. In Changhai Dojo, I was alone from beginning to end. Gradually, even I forgot that I had a wish, and I only practiced Yuanwudao every day. I repeated every day like this, and then I became what you see now."
"…" Everyone was silent. They could not imagine that the little lion who was just shouting in front of them had such a secret buried deep in his heart.
In an instant, everyone looked up at Jin Minzhu and saw something different in their eyes. Ruobai looked at Jin Minzhu and was a little dazed, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ignoring everyone's astonished looks, Jin Minzhu turned to look at Cheng Yichen: "So, sister, I don't want to go back. I don't want to become an emotionless devil. Let me stay here, okay?" Jin Minzhu's voice was filled with a hint of pleading and cautious fear of being rejected.
The softest part of her heart was touched. Perhaps because she was a free person, Cheng Yichen did not say anything to dissuade Jin Minzhu. Instead, she raised her hand and put it on Jin Minzhu's shoulder: "It's not up to me whether you can stay here or not." Cheng Yichen turned his head and looked at Ruobai, "It's up to the senior brother here."
Jin Minzhu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Ruobai, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Hu Yifeng seemed unable to bear it any longer and turned to look at Ruobai: "Ruobai, agree to her."
The people in Songbai also echoed: "Yes, Senior Brother Ruobai, agree to her."
"Enough!" Ruo Bai shouted, looking up at the people in Songbai. The cold gaze made everyone tremble, and they subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look into those cold eyes again.
Cheng Yichen didn't take it seriously. He raised his eyes and met Ruobai's cold eyes without fear, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Oh, Senior Brother? Interesting. But his eyes are still a little bit off, Lu Hanyu's eyes are much colder than his.
Ruobai couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she looked at Cheng Yichen. She...
The Taoist robe seemed to be pulled gently by someone. Ruobai lowered his eyes and looked, and Jin Minzhu's beautiful and lovely face came into Ruobai's sight.
"Brother, can you let me stay here? As long as you let me stay here, you can ask me to do anything." Jin Minzhu's voice seemed to carry a hint of pleading.
The softest part of his heart was touched. Ruobai squatted down and looked at Jin Minzhu. His voice seemed to soften a little: "Do you really want to stay here?"
"Yeah." Jin Minzhu nodded vigorously.
After a short silence, Ruobai raised his eyes to look at Jin Minzhu, and his tone seemed to test her: "But we will have the in-house selection tomorrow, and if you stay here, you will have to participate in the competition. Are you still willing to stay here?"
"Brother, it's okay." Jin Minzhu smiled and shook her head, "As long as brother can let me stay here. Not to mention tomorrow's gym trials, even if brother wants me to participate in this year's gym challenge, I'm willing."
"…" Everyone in Songbai was shocked again by Jin Minzhu's words. This little girl really dared to do anything to stay.
Seeing the determination and pleading in Jin Minzhu's eyes, Ruobai seemed to have no heart to refuse her. Raising his hand and touching Jin Minzhu's head, Ruobai smiled gently at the little girl in front of him: "Minzhu, how about this? I will help you talk to the curator later, and then you go back and tell your senior brother that you want to stay here. If your senior brother agrees, then you can stay here, how about it?"
She was stunned for a moment, but the next second the astonishment in Jin Minzhu's eyes turned into surprise: "Thank you, brother!" After that, she turned around and rushed out of Songbai Dojo regardless of everyone's reaction, as if she couldn't wait to tell her senior brother the news.
Great! She can stay! She can train with Baicao-unnie!
Standing up slightly, Ruobai turned to look at Cheng Yichen: "Why didn't you stop her? Have you ever thought about what would happen if Min Shenghao disagreed? Wouldn't everything you did be in vain?"
Cheng Yichen quietly looked at Jin Minzhu's figure, with a faint smile on his pretty face: "Because no matter how heavy the body is, the heart can fly freely." Cheng Yichen paused and turned to look at Ruobai: "The so-called freedom is not in objective conditions, but in the subjective self. If your heart follows your feelings, then no matter how much pressure and responsibility this person bears, your heart can fly freely. And that person will eventually find what he wants."
