Chapter 257 - Master, I Find You (1/2)
Jianjia was waiting patiently. The sun went down gradually, yet Qi Tiance still didn’t come here.
Jianjia was a little worried. Although Bai Aoxue had seen it all, she didn’t say more. At this moment, it was in vain to say anything.
“Jianjia, have a rest first. Trust your master. He won’t leave you alone.” After a little while, Bai Aoxue looked at Jianjia, who was sitting outside the house and looking at the winding path blankly, and said slightly.
Jianjia nodded her head and said, “Sister Aoxue, let me wait for a while. Now there isn’t anybody waiting for my master. I am the disciple of my master, so I should wait for my master. In this way, he probably will feel better.”
Seeing that Jianjia was so persistent, Bai Aoxue also didn’t say more. In her heart, she also thought that Jianjia was so thoughtful.
Although she lay on the bed, she still waited with Jianjia together.
Jianjia turned around to have a look at Bai Aoxue. Although she knew that she couldn’t be willful, she still wanted to wait for a little while.
The silvery moonlight was so bright, shining on the winding path. The moon seemed to be made of silver.
A slender shadow walked here slowly from the other side of the path.
“Master!” Jianjia shouted happily and rushed to him quickly.
Qi Tiance looked at Jianjia who didn’t take a rest and waited for him. There flashed guilt in his eyes. He was an adult now, but he still made a child worry about him.
He was extremely painful in his heart all of a sudden. Then what about her before? Every time, she saw him leave and waited for him who wouldn’t return on a specific date. When did he once make her not worry about him?
“Go to have a rest quickly. You still need to get up early tomorrow.” Qi Tiance flipped Jianjia’s hair slightly and said slowly.
Jianjia nodded her head and said, “Master, you also go to rest earlier! Sister Aoxue, I am about to have a rest. And I will come to see you again tomorrow.”
Bai Aoxue nodded her head, looked at Jianjia, and smiled at Jianjia slightly.
Again, she turned around to have a look at Qi Tiance and waited for Qi Tiance’s next word.
“When your wounds are healed, take me to have a look at her. This time, I will not break my promise again.” Qian Tiance had a deep look at Bai Aoxue and said carefully.
Bai Aoxue nodded her head and looked at Qi Tiance. The questions that she was supposed to ask were choked in her throat at this moment. She didn’t know what to ask first.
She hadn’t ever been a softhearted person. But Qi Tiance’s image right now would make even those people whose hearts were as cold as ice move.
He was the legendary person who stirred the whole Sutian. There were so many legends about him in all corners of the country and outside the imperial court.
But any kind of legend wasn’t as real as Qi Tiance himself who she was seeing at this moment.
The rippled sorrow was in the depth of his eyes. His slightly red eyes and tightly clenched fists both indicated his sorrow at this moment.
One’s eyes would not lie. Qi Tiance’s eyes made her see his agony and desperation.
The reason why he was in pain was that he lost the person whom he regarded as faith. The reason why he was desperate was that what he had always insisted on fell apart in an instant. He couldn’t accept it. Or put it in another way, he didn’t want to accept it at all.
“I know what you want to ask.” Qi Tiance turned around to look at the outside of the window and said slightly.
“Actually, I didn’t think much when I was young. I am an orphan, without father or mother. When I saw her for the first time, she hadn’t been the daughter of the governor of Yangzhou. She was in dire straits just like me. Although she was escaping, she took me with her on her escaping way. She asked me to be her pupil. But actually, she was just several years older than me.”
“In the beginning, I wasn’t willing. But occasionally, I saw her squatting below the outside peach tree in the midnight and sobbing slightly. I didn’t dare to go forward to bother her. Later, I really became her pupil hesitantly. She said that people were evil in all corners of the country, so she wanted to leave and return with me. At that time, I thought that she was just saying that.”
“But later on, she always haunted me. Wherever I went, she always followed me. I was annoyed, so I asked her to leave and go back to wait for me. But she really went back. I was such a high-spirited person at that time so that I always wanted to realize my ambition and become famous all over the world. I was so proud. How could I ever think that how merciless the things that I had done to her were and how brutal the words that I had said to her were! But I finally hurt her.”
“It has been so long since I talked to someone this way. Thank you for listening to me. I will not waste your time so that you can have a rest.” Qi Tiance said slightly While he had walked to the outside of the door.
Hearing Qi Tiance’s words that seemed to be talked to himself, Bai Aoxue was in a trance. She had also imagined the scene when these two people were still young.
“What if… I didn’t tell you? Will you still wait for her?” Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Tiance and asked her question finally.
As soon as Qi Tiance heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he paused his steps. And then he moved his slender legs, strode, and left.
“I will wait for her. I will always wait for her even though I don’t know the specific date that she will return.”
His cold words were full of time-beaten deep feelings.
Bai Aoxue closed her eyes slowly, but she slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
A man who could shed tears for a woman valued feelings most. Even if he might be a bad guy, he was also a bad guy who valued feelings most.
People like Qi Tiance might shed tears only once. Perhaps it was for the people that they loved.
She healed her wounds this way for several days. Bai Aoxue could sit on her own without Jianjia’s assistance. And this indicated that her wounds were recovering gradually.
“Oh… Master! Master! A person is there!” There came Jianjia’s uncertain voice, which also made Bai Aoxue surprised.
