The Marshal of the Republic of China (20)

“Huh?” Jiang Rui blinked, thinking that she had heard it wrong, and then she could not laugh or cry: “Big Brother, you made the atmosphere so serious just to ask me this? It scared me to death.”

But, Huo Changyao did not find it funny and was still waiting for her answer.

Therefore, Jiang Rui had to say: “Like a person this kind of thing, it’s not like what you like to eat and what you like to wear. But no matter what, he has to be a good person.”

“For example? Have you ever liked someone?” Huo Changyao asked again.

Jiang Rui’s eyes wandered for a moment and she did not look into his eyes, “No.”

He knew that she was lying, and although he already knew it, his heart sank irrepressibly.

He said softly: “Big Brother said before, if you have someone you like, you can bring it back and show him to me. If that person is really good, Big Brother will support you.”

Jiang Rui nodded indiscriminately, “I know, Big Brother has said this several times.”

Seeing that she did not mean to admit it, Huo Changyao actually had a little joy in his heart, but he quickly told himself that this was not right.

In any case, he cannot be a stumbling block in Xiao Qi’s pursuit of happiness.

He dropped his eyelids, with the light shining from one side, casting a shadow on his deep facial features.

“The Old Second is actually pretty good.” He suddenly said slowly.

Jiang Rui looked up at him sharply. Huo Changyao glanced at her and then turned away to look at the curtains gently blown up by the wind.

“What I said before counts. When you have someone you like, whether this marriage will end or not, the decision is in your hands. You don’t have to worry too much about Mother, even if she opposes it for a while, sooner or later she has to accept the facts. I will convince her.”

Jiang Rui was silent for a long time, and when she spoke, her voice was a little astringent: “…Has Big Brother heard something?”

Huo Changyao nodded and said apologetically: “I was going to go to the garden to find you and Old Sixth before dinner, and I overheard your conversation by accident. Big Brother didn’t mean it.”

“Did Big Brother listen to it completely?” Jiang Rui smiled bitterly.

Huo Changyao realized something and frowned, “What’s the matter? Did Old Second bully you?”

“What does this kind of thing have to do with the Second Brother? I have liked him, but who stipulates that if you like someone, that person must have a response?”

“The Old Second don’t like you?” Huo Changyao heard her voice.

“Yes,” Jiang Rui laughed at herself, “Second Brother not only doesn’t like me, but also he has someone he likes, so please let Big Brother let him go, don’t pull him into the water. If Big Brother wants to get rid of my burden, just say it, why should Big Brother act like this?”

Jiang Rui knew that these words were angering and making trouble, but all she wanted was to make trouble. How could he be panicked if she didn’t make trouble? How can she mess with him? How can she make him lose sense?

Only if he has no time to think rationally, can she achieve what she wants.

Huo Changyao really froze for a moment before saying, “Big Brother didn’t mean that–”

“What does that mean?” Jiang Rui interrupted him, “In the beginning, Big Brother was in a coma and Mother asked me for marriage. I actually didn’t want to, but Mother begged me so much. The Huo family has the grace of nurturing me, Big Brother is like a brother to me, can I watch you disappear? I know that Big Brother has never liked me very much. I remember what you said the day you woke up, so Big Brother does not need to remind me again and again. If you have someone you like, you show him to me. Look, you’re afraid that I’m relying on you and I can understand it, but you don’t need to push me outside when you meet someone like this!”

Huo Changyao was already confused by her words that split his head.

Who said he never liked her? Who said he kept pushing her out?

How could he not like her? How can he be willing to push her out?

But without waiting for him to explain, Jiang Rui had already turned around and ran back to her room. Huo Changyao immediately got up and followed.

This was the first time he entered her room after Jiang Rui moved over, but he was not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment.

Jiang Rui was lying on her stomach at the head of the bed, her face buried in the pillow, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Huo Changyao stopped, only felt a dull pain in his chest, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton. He opened his mouth several times, but he could not make a sound.

It seemed that after a long time, but it seemed that there was only a moment, he approached slowly. As if a thousand pounds of heavy weight were on his hands, he raised her hands and gently put on her shoulder, “Xiao Qi…”

“Don’t touch me!” Jiang Rui reacted violently.

Huo Changyao retracted his fingers, opened them again after a while, and stroked her hair, “Don’t cry, it’s Big Brother who is not good.”

Jiang Rui turned her head several times, but she could not dodge his palm. She was extremely angry and annoyed. She grabbed the pillow and hit him, “I hate Big Brother! I hate Big Brother the most! The most annoying!”

She shouted fiercely, her hand movements were also fierce, but her eyes and nose were red, and her face was full of tears.

Huo Changyao finally could not suppress it, and despite her struggle, he firmly embraced her with a pillow.

    Another self-directed play… Does anyone else feel sorry for the ML?

    1. Serenity29 says:

      Why feel sorry for him it’s not like she is doing it for her own benefit she is doing it to save him😤 I think the one we ought to feel sorry for is the FL😌 she is the one who is tired and hurt cause she got herself too deep thinking he won’t remember her, every time when he dies promising to be with her forever knowing that he can’t keep his promise do you know how painful it is for her? How sad she is how tiring it is for her? But still having to continue shuttling through worlds for him 😢😢Put yourself in her shoes the talk about whom we should feel sorry for🤧 😔
