Chapter 1144 (1/1)
When he left Yonghe temple, wen'er's eyes fell involuntarily on the corner where Wan Kun had sat before. The low table was empty, and he did not know when to leave.
Zhou Jiao pulled her sleeve and whispered, ”wen'er, I have something to say to you.”
Wen'er wanted to refuse, but thought that he would leave Kyoto in two days. The time of goodbye is far away, or maybe he would never see again in his life. After all, they grew up together and had a deep friendship. At this time, they refused hard. They couldn't bear it, so they nodded: ”OK.”
Wen'er said to Zheng Zhongwen, who was walking ahead: ”Dad, I'll talk to brother Jiao. I'll go back later. Please go back first.”
Zhongwen took a look at Zhou Jiao. He was clear-minded and didn't say much. He just nodded: ”well, don't be too late.”
After leaving the palace, the carriage of the Royal Palace galloped away, and Zhou Jiao took Nian Wen to a teahouse.
The teahouse is quiet. There are not many people at this time. They find a corner to sit down and wait for the waiter to serve the tea. Zhou Jiao can't wait to ask: ”wen'er, this capital city has been here for a long time. Don't you want to see the scenery elsewhere?”
Wen'er shook his head: ”this capital city is my home. My father, my mother and my little brother are here. Where can I go?”
Zhou Jiao said again, ”that's all, but after all, you are a girl's family. You are going to marry sooner or later. Do you want to stay in the palace all your life?”
Wen'er smiled: ”why not? If I don't find the right husband, I will live in the palace all my life. I don't think my parents will drive me out. ”
Zhou Jiao, seeing that she was so easy to avoid, was a little worried. He stopped circling and said directly, ”wen'er, you know what I mean. Why do you say these words to stimulate me? Wen'er, I will go back to Zhou the day after tomorrow. You can go with me.”
At this time, little two just came to serve tea. She said nothing in silence. When little two left with the empty tray, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Jiao, saying, ”brother Jiao, I've always taken you as my younger brother. My feelings for you are the same as my feelings for brother Zhou. How can you let me go with you?”
Zhou Jiao shakes his head: ”no, no, you just don't see your heart clearly. After all, you are still young and have just reached Jiji. It's really early to talk about marriage and marriage. But you can rest assured that I won't force you. As long as you stay with me, no matter how long you are, I will wait for you, when you grow up, when you recognize your heart.”
Wen'er frowned slightly. She thought that as long as she said no, Zhou Jiao would know her mind, and would not say anything to keep her, or force her.
But Zhou Jiao didn't seem to do what she thought. He was more persistent than she thought.
”I'm sorry, brother Jiao. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you.” She took the cup of tea and resisted the impulse to leave. After all, it was brother Jiao who sat opposite. They grew up together. Their friendship for more than ten years could not be broken.
Zhou Jiao impulsively grabs her left hand on the table. She is shocked. The tea cup in her right hand shakes violently. The hot tea splashes on the back of her hand and turns red immediately.
Zhou Jiao saw this and quickly loosened her left hand. He rushed forward to check the burn on the back of her right hand.
She took the pad to cover the wound, and reluctantly smiled: ”it's OK, I'm ok, brother Jiao. I may not be able to send you the day after tomorrow. First, I wish you a good journey. If there is nothing else, I'll go back first.”
