C98 (1/2)
She looked at the sharp-tongued girl in front of her. His white forefinger lightly pressed against her chattering lips.
Qiao Liangjin never thought that Su Qingqing would use such a method to shut him up. Her almond eyes kept blinking as she looked at Su Qingqing's black agate eyes. Somehow, she bit off a bit of Su Qingqing's finger.
Her hearty laughter grew louder and louder as she laughed. She pulled Qiao Liangjin into her arms again and stopped laughing. She smelled her fragrance and said in a low voice, ”Take care of yourself while I'm gone. Don't let anyone hurt you.”
Without waiting for Qiao Liangjin to reply, she suddenly let go of her and turned around to leave the room, leaving her staring blankly at that person's disappearing figure. If it wasn't for the fact that the temperature was still hot, she would have thought that she had dreamt early in the morning and even extended her hand, wanting to touch that distant figure.
Suddenly realizing that her actions were laughable, she quickly retracted her hand and stabilized her state of mind.
The door was wide open, and a few female servants were peeping in from the outside. When they found that Su Qing was no longer there, they entered the room smiling, as if they knew that all of us did not need to say anything.
Qiao Liangjin looked at the mysterious smiles of the maids and shook her head. She rubbed her stomach and said, ”Hurry up and serve Master food. I'm starving.”
She knew very well that she did not belong to this generation. If she were to really fall in love with someone, how would she tell that person about her departure in the future, and how they would separate? Would she still be the same after they parted ways?
After eating a few tasteless mouthfuls of congee, Qiao Liangjin put down his spoon. Pushing the bowl away, she patted her knees and said to Yu Sheng, ”Come, let's chat for a while.”
He raised his pair of fox-like eyes and looked at the somber Qiao Liangjin. He tilted his head and was somewhat puzzled. The once peerless master who was even inferior to the thick-skinned city wall appeared to be somewhat sad today?
Qiao Liangjin's hand gently caressed Yu Sheng's back, and his eyes dimmed as he said, ”Actually, the blood contract between us is also due to the accident of my coming to this world. Say, if a strange guest like me who descended from the sky really leaves, would many people be sad?”
Yu Sheng's eyes dimmed slightly. He obediently stuck out his tongue and gently licked the back of Qiao Liangjin's hand, as though he was comforting her.
Qiao Liangjin suddenly sniffed and laughed. ”This is really strange. Is it because my aunt is coming? Recently, I have been feeling very sad.”
At this moment, Yu Sheng, who was usually nowhere to be seen, was quietly lying on Qiao Lianjin's knee. Perhaps it was because of the blood contract, he could feel Qiao Liangjin's slight loss, but he did not understand if this matter had something to do with Su Chen going to help the Southern Kingdom fight.
One man and one fox, they quietly stayed in the warm room until Qiao Xinting's voice came from outside. Only then did Qiao Liangjin let go of Yuesheng and go to open the door. Qiao Xinting, whose face had turned red from the cold, stood there anxiously.
Qiao Liangjin didn't even bother to ask when she saw the situation. She turned around and walked into the house. She put on her cloak and went out the door, pulling Qiao Xinting along with him.
Qiao Xinting held Qiao Lianjin's hand and said anxiously, ”Mother was fine last night, but after taking the medicine this morning, she was lying on the bed and couldn't get up.”
Qiao Liangjin squeezed Qiao Xinting's ice-cold hand, signaling her not to be too worried and said: ”It's okay, I'll go take a look. Is Qing going to find a doctor?”
Qiao Xinting nodded and pulled Qiao Lianjin along. However, she felt a lot more relaxed. She didn't know why, but she felt that this big sister in front of her was trustworthy.
He had just walked through the long corridor of the courtyard when he met Qiao Zheng who was walking hurriedly towards the Calm Heart Garden. Qiao Liangjin pulled Qiao Xinting along and quickly followed. She called out to Qiao Zheng, ”Father.”
Qiao Zheng turned his head and saw Qiao Liangjin and Qiao Xinting. He asked, ”How is Cai Ting?”
Qiao Liangjin was slightly surprised that Qiao Zheng was actually concerned about Guo Caiting. Qiao Zheng continued to walk towards Ning Xin Garden and said: ”Qin Se sent someone to tell me that she is currently in Ning Xin Garden. Xin Ting, where is your servant girl?” ”Where did you go?”
Qiao Xinting's nose twitched as she replied, ”Qing went to invite the doctor. My mother did not know what happened. She was much better last night, but she was suddenly unable to get up this morning …”
With that, they arrived at Tranquil Heart Garden. Outside the door stood Qin Se's servant girl. She looked anxious as she stomped her feet and said, ”Master, you're really here. ”Third Madam, how long has it been since you've taken on the role of housekeeper? How come …” As he said this, he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Qiao Liangjin looked coldly at the servant girl in front of him. She wanted to continue acting, but it was not like she was crying. Instead, she wanted to continue acting! She didn't even shed a tear. She gave a bad rating and got a negative score.
Luo Tian's gaze met Qiao Liangjin's cold gaze and he hurriedly withdrew. He pushed open the door and said: ”Master, Miss, you two quickly go in.”
Qiao Zheng crossed the room with his hands behind his back and heard Qin Se calling out to Guo Caiting from beside the bed.
Qiao Liangjin's impression of Qin Se was limited to the memory of that day. Other than that, she had no memory of anything else. Today, seeing her look like a little white flower, she smiled internally. It really was another green tea bitch. Qiao Yin really did resemble her.
When Qin Se saw Qiao Zheng and Qiao Liangjin enter, she stood up with the intention of getting lucky, but was stopped by Qiao Zheng and asked, ”What are you doing here?”
Qin Se was startled and quickly replied, ”My sister was the housekeeper these days and gave us a lot of benefits, so I felt my body was a bit better today, so I came over to thank you. I didn't expect …”
