The Marshal of the Republic of China (21)

Jiang Rui struggled endlessly, but Huo Changyao’s arms seemed to be made of iron. No matter how she refused, he could not be shaken, until she was tired of crying, then he loosened it slightly.

Taking this opportunity, she pushed him away, snorted, and turned her back.

Huo Changyao looked at his empty embrace and smiled bitterly.

At this time, no matter how dull he was, he also realized his intentions.

Xiao Qi only regarded him as an older brother from beginning to end, but he went beyond.

He sighed and said in a low voice: “Big Brother has never disliked you, nor did I think of pushing you out. But the marriage between the two of us is not out of your will. I am only worried that you will meet someone you like in the future, but you dare not tell Big Brother and then you were delayed for nothing.”

“What can I delay? Anyway, I have no father or mother, nor a biological brother or sister. No one can delay it. If you want me to marry, I will marry. If you want me to leave, I will leave!” Jiang Rui said, sounding like angry words, but a little desolate.

When Huo Changyao heard this, he understood why she had such a violent reaction.

She thought he was going to drive her away.

That’s right, just think about it. She is just a little girl. Her parents have died since she was a child. She came to Huo’s house alone, even if she was optimistic and lively, she would always feel a little uneasy. Therefore, she did not dare to say that she liked the Old Second before, and she did not dare to refuse his mother when she wanted her to be married, for fear that the elders would be unhappy and lose her only support. But he has repeatedly mentioned letting her be free and letting her go, how can she not be misunderstood?

The more he thought about it, the more Huo Changyao felt distressed and guilty, “No one wants you to leave. Big Brother will never mention this matter in the future, don’t be angry.”

Jiang Rui sniffed, “I will go out to work when I graduate. I won’t always rely on you all the time.”

“What are you talking about?” Huo Changyao said, “It is only natural for a brother to take care of his sister.”

“I’m serious.” Jiang Rui said. Her tone was much calmer than before, “Big Brother will meet someone he likes in the future. We can’t do this for a lifetime.”

Huo Changyao looked at her and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

He wanted to tell her that there was no other person he liked and the person he liked was her, but he could not say that.

Xiao Qi had no feelings for him. If he said it and she agreed because she did not dare to refuse, what was the difference between this and forcing her?

But to let her go, can he be willing?

Let go of the thoughts that should not be there, and like before, just as a simple brother-sister relationship, and then wait for one day, she will like another person… He was afraid he would not be able to do it either.

In this case, he can only slowly figure it out.

He lightly patted Jiang Rui on the shoulder like a soothing: “Why can’t we live for a lifetime? Xiao Qi is willing to rely on Big Brother, and Big Brother will be happy.”

Jiang Rui lowered her eyelashes and did not speak.

Huo Changyao said again: “Tonight’s incident is all the fault of Big Brother. Xiao Qi does not care about the villain, forgives Big Brother this time, and I dare not commit it again in the future.”

Jiang Rui pouted: “I’m not angry anymore.”

“It’s good not to be angry. I passed by the department store when I came back today and saw a lot of new products In the window. Tomorrow afternoon after school, Big Brother will pick you up and then we will go to the street to buy things and make amends for you. How about it?”

“I don’t want to buy it.” Jiang Rui refused.

“This is bad,” Huo Changyao frowned and said in annoyance: “Big Brother’s purse has grown and gotten fatter recently. I want to ask Xiao Qi to lose weight for it. Why don’t you give Big Brother a face?”

Hearing his description, Jiang Rui showed a little smile at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly thought that she should be in a cold war with people at this time. She held back, only muttering: “Why do you learn other people’s glib tongue?”

Huo Changyao was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this was a glib tongue. He did not think much when he said it, he just wanted to make her happy.

He used to be most unaccustomed to people speaking frivolously. But now he felt that if he could make her calm down, what if he was frivolous?

Jiang Rui said again: “Go back to rest, I also want to sleep. Tomorrow afternoon, we have a discussion in the study group. I don’t know when it will end. Big Brother doesn’t need to find me.”

“Okay, then you rest early.” Huo Changyao nodded.

After he left, Jiang Rui went to wash her face again before lying down.

The curtains in her room were pure black. After the lights were turned off, there was no light in the room. She opened her eyes and looked at the darkness.

She believes that after today, Huo Changyao will no longer have the idea of ​​sending her out, at least not in the short term.

She can feel that Huo Changyao is not a pure brother and sister relationship to her. But since he did not say it, she would not take the initiative to pick it out, just hang on the name of the nominal husband and wife, brother and sister. It can be the best if it lasts for a long time. If one day he can’t hide, then the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

She quickly fell asleep, but Huo Changyao, who was across the wall, tossed and turned.

It was the first time that he understood what he wanted. He was bothering Xiao Qi just now, but he did not have time to savor it. When he woke up at this time, he was a little at a loss.

It turns out that it feels like to like someone. It seems like someone is holding a feather duster and tickling your heart, feeling restless and excited for no reason.
