C14 I Can't Get Rid of Her Shadow
"Not yet! "I'm a little kid with you, and the kids are all soy sauce! " How long do you want to be single? " Xiao Jingping was also worried about her brother's marriage. Seeing that Xiao Jinghang looked like he had nothing to do with her, she scolded him unhappily.
"It's only when we can get married! If we don't look now, of course we don't want to!" Xiao Jiujiu suddenly cut in and everyone looked over in unison.
"Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Jiujiu looked at her family and suddenly felt guilty.
"Master is talking. Go talk to your brother!" Old Man Xiao waved his hand and did not mind his granddaughter's words.
"I am also a master! I'll chat with you! Sixth Uncle, quickly marry Aunt Liu home! Grandpa is waiting to carry his grandson! Sigh! "This granddaughter of mine is going to be splashed with water. Whether there is or not is fine!"
Xiao Jiujiu sat down next to Grandfather and half hugged his arm to play lazy. She even started to hum a little tune. "Little white cuisine! Yellow in the field! Two or three years old, gone... Ah! My pudding is ready! Cousin, leave quickly! " Xiao Jiujiu, who was halfway through singing, suddenly jumped up and shouted, pulling Lu Yifan into the kitchen.
The adults in the living room were silent for a few seconds because of Xiao Jiujiu. They knew in their hearts why Xiao Jiujiu left on purpose and felt a little uncomfortable.
Hearing the obvious exaggerated laughter coming from the kitchen, Xiao Jinghang's heart throbbed in pain. His face became darker and darker. His cold eyes lowered and he put down the cup heavily.
"Don't worry about me! Shut up if you want me to stay at home!" Then, he strode out of the house and disappeared into the courtyard.
"This bastard!" Xiao Wanlee looked at his son who had left and cursed angrily.
"Dad, don't worry. Liuzi's temper is famous in the army. It's not like you don't know. Even Commander Xia scratched his head when he saw him. What are you angry about?" The army quickly comforted his father-in-law and went forward to add another cup of tea.
Yes, Dad. Liuzi just came back. We are a little anxious. Take your time! It is possible that he will not go home if we make him anxious." Xiao Jingping also tried to comfort her father...
...
In the backyard, Xiao Jinghang squatted in front of his father's garden and smoked. The moon was very round tonight. The bright moonlight covered the land, making his long eyebrows knitted together.
Ever since sister-in-law passed away, Xiao Jinghang had shouldered the heavy responsibility of taking care of Xiao Jiujiu. No one asked for it, and no one asked for it. The two children, one big and one small, had been lazing around each other for four to five years.
During the day, Xiao Jiujiu held Sixth Uncle's clothes and walked him to the door. She waved her small hands sweetly and said, "Goodbye, Sixth Uncle. Go to school well. In the evening, when the young man with the schoolbag stepped into the house, the first person to run out to welcome him was always that small person. Like a little swallow, she flew into his arms. She shouted, "Sixth Uncle, I miss you. I hurriedly took out the hidden snacks from my pocket and stuffed them into Sixth Uncle's mouth, who was holding her.
At night, the little girl obediently sat beside Xiao Jinghang and watched him do his homework. It was so quiet that there was no sound. Usually, when Xiao Jinghang was halfway through his work, the little girl would be carried back to the bedroom in his sleep. It was late at night when Xiao Jinghang finished his homework and went back to his room to rest. The little girl in his sleep would find her breath and roll into his arms. This intimate relationship was only broken when Xiao Jinghang got his first girlfriend in his third year of high school.
Under the flowers and under the moon, when the girl hugged Xiao Jinghang and kissed him, Xiao Jinghang's heart and confused mind were filled with his niece's pink and pretty face.
He thought that it was only because he had stayed with Xiao Jiujiu for too long, but Xiao Jinghang gradually realized that the little girl had already lived in his heart at some point, and no one could shake her. Xiao Jiujiu was like a young and beautiful poppy flower, and she could no longer extricate herself from it.
After his first love, which had died without a trace, he was so lost and helpless that he could not return to his home for the first time. In Lyu Hongliang's bedroom, two big boys drank a bottle of white wine. Xiao Jinghang was lying on the table with his brows knitted, and his eyes were filled with pain and struggle.
"Brother, I feel so bad! He could not get rid of her shadow. Am I a f * cking bastard?! She is my niece's daughter! "How can I, how can I fall in love with her, how can I..."
In the days to come, he began to deliberately distance himself from Xiao Jiujiu, forcing himself not to care about her and not to worry about her. He even used the excuse of the college entrance exam to ruthlessly ignore Xiao Jiujiu's small and thin body. He stood at the entrance reluctantly and bit his lips as he watched him carry his bag to school.
He could not see that he was far away, but that tiny shadow was stubbornly imprinted in his heart. No matter how he forced himself, he could not ignore it and could not forget it. Finally, he chose to escape to the distant border...
...
After the two siblings finished their dessert, Lu Yifan and his parents returned home. Xiao Jiujiu sent him off. Grandfather and Grandmother returned to the room and chatted for a while with a cheeky smile. They returned to the bedroom on the second floor amidst Grandfather's scolding.
The cold moonlight shone through the curtains into the room. Xiao Jiujiu suddenly felt a faint chill in the room during the midsummer night. She used her hands to tighten the bathrobe that she was wearing after taking a bath. She curled up at the corner of the bed and pulled the Winnie Bear by the side to bury her face deeply.
At this moment, Xiao Jiujiu released all of her arrogance and wildness. She was like an elf who had just entered the mortal world. She seemed so lonely and helpless.
The shock that Xiao Jinghang's return had brought to her was not over yet. Although it seemed like the day was calm and peaceful, the weather was clear after the rain. Only she knew that when she saw Sixth Uncle following her with guilt and fear, Xiao Jiujiu felt bitter and disappointed in her heart. That feeling of intimacy, neglect, love, and hatred was something Xiao Jiujiu could not explain or understand.
In her childhood memories, Sixth Uncle's embrace was always the safest place in her heart. However, Xiao Jinghang's decisive departure made her feel as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
Since then, Xiao Jiujiu had put on a full body of thorns. She wore a mischievous and unruly mask and lived a carefree and unrestrained life. However, only she knew that every time she dreamt about it, she would wake Sixth Uncle up with tears streaming down her face.
Why did she have to leave her? She had promised to stand by her side and protect her for the rest of her life! It had been ten years. Today, even though Xiao Jinghang had returned, she seemed to have let go of her resentment. However, deep in her heart, she could not let go of it.
That resolute and outstanding young man had removed the youth's immaturity. Currently, Xiao Jinghang's entire body carried the cold aura of a king. Xiao Jiujiu could clearly feel her heart beating faster when her pair of deep phoenix eyes looked at her. For some reason, She did not know what to do.
Hearing her grandparents and aunties anxious about Sixth Uncle's marriage, she subconsciously rejected it from the bottom of her heart. This indescribable feeling made her, who had never been troubled by anything, restless and unable to calm her thoughts.
"Ah ~" Xiao Jiujiu gloomily scratched her hair and wailed before suddenly getting up. As if she was angry, she rushed out of the bedroom with the pillow in her arms and knocked on Xiao Jinghang's room next door.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jinghang was stunned when he saw the girl standing at the door with her messy hair and her cheeks puffed up.
"Sixth Uncle, I, I want to sleep with you!" Xiao Jiujiu quietly called out her purpose of coming over.
