Chapter 33 Broken Jade
Chapter 33 Broken Jade
"Jin Lang...Jin Lang..."
The heart-piercing call seems far away, but it seems to be close to the ear.
Something warm slipped down his neck, and Chi Jinnian knew that it was Ruan Yuan who was crying and looking for him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw only traces of fighting in front of him, and even blood on the wall.
Chi Jinnian snapped back to his senses, raised his head, and saw the little man buried his head in his neck, crying hysterically while calling "Jin Lang".
As if realizing that he was awake, the little man straightened up, and stretched out both hands to hold his face.
"Jin Lang, Jin Lang..."
The smell of blood permeated the air, Chi Jinnian fixed his eyes, pulled down the little boy's hand, and stopped breathing when he saw the scarlet blood.
"Who!"
He roared, burning through the air.
Then he sat up vigorously, hugged the little boy into his arms, let go to inspect his injuries, and hugged him tightly again.
"Jin Lang..."
Ruan Yuan buried his head in his chest, his crying was absorbed by the clothes on his body.
"The jade pendant...the jade pendant is broken..."
Ruan Yuan cried and twitched, with both hands tightly hugging his neck.
Chi Jinnian's eyes suddenly became sour, and he looked at the mess on the ground not far away, and there was blood on one of the teacup fragments.
He lowered his head and kissed the young master's head again and again, hearing the son's constant crying, his eyes were red for the first time.
"What is the so-called jade pendant?"
"It's enough that you're still here."
Ruan Yuan loosened his grip on his neck, and his crying suddenly became much quieter, then slowly straightened up, sat on Chi Jinnian's lap, and met his eyes.
He remembered that in the past, he said that no number of lives could be worth that jade pendant.
Today, he said, having him is enough.
Suddenly, one cheek felt hot.
Chi Jinnian raised a hand and caressed his face. For the first time, a different kind of fire sparkled in those always calm eyes.
"Ruan Yuan, you can speak now."
"You can call me Jin Lang again."
The pain of finding it again overflowed, the jade pendant was broken in half and put aside, but no one cared about it.
Ruan Yuan shed two lines of tears again, his palms and backs hurt badly, but it was worth it.
The cat demon was wrong, Chi Jinnian loved him, so how could Chi Jinnian be unworthy.
"Mingying, is it?"
"She is a weak woman, how did she make such a big noise?"
"Tell me, don't be afraid."
Chi Jinnian's other hand also covered his face, cherishing him in every possible way.
"She's not human."
"She's a monster."
After Ruan Yuan finished speaking, he saw with his own eyes that the man's pupils dilated a little, and uncontrollable shock overflowed, staining the air red.
Just then, there was a sound from the window.
Chi Jinnian tightened his arms suddenly, turned Ruan Yuanhu in his arms, and the moment he saw Gu Cong's face, the tension in his eyes shattered.
Gu Cong stepped on the window sill, and there were a few red scratches on his arms and legs, and two white ears on his head.
He looked up at Shangchi Jinnian's gaze, was taken aback for a moment, and then jumped into the room.
"Prince, princess."
Gu Cong bent down and bowed, his ears gradually became smaller and disappeared.
Chi Jinnian's deep eyes were turbulent, but he only said one sentence,
"Is it resolved?"
Gu Cong bent down, returning to his usual gentle and refined appearance,
"Go back to the prince, it's settled."
Chi Jinnian lowered his eyes, "It takes a bit of skill to make you hurt like this."
"I will buy a carriage tomorrow. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
Ruan Yuan's eyes lightly fell on Gu Cong's wound, his voice was still a little trembling,
"Master Gu, without you today, Jin Lang and I..."
His slightly curled eyelashes fluttered a few times,
"Thank you."
Gu Cong raised his eyes and looked at the hand on Chi Jinnian's shoulder. His eyes flicked as if his eyes were stabbed by the blood on it.
"The minister's duty lies."
"Wangfei wait for a while, and I will take the medicine for Wangfei."
Ruan Yuan shook his head, "I'm fine."
"Young Master Gu, heal yourself first."
Gu Cong lowered his head, his tone was polite but beyond doubt.
"Of course the princess first."
Ruan Yuan was stunned for a moment, but said no more.
Whose blood aroused the fire of fate that could not be extinguished in this life.
-----------
"My lord, the Seventh Prince's people gave up hunting."
"The soldiers guarding the city no longer check the portraits of the princess one by one."
The carriage stopped in the forest, Gu Cong stood outside the carriage and said to the window.
Chi Jinnian opened the curtains, glanced at the man outside, and nodded.
Ruan Yuan slept like a defenseless fawn on his lap.
Gu Cong took a look, and Chi Jinnian also looked down.
"We'll go when he wakes up."
"Before he wakes up, I have something to tell you."
Chi Jinnian slowly lifted the young master up, put a thick jacket on his head, watched his eyebrows move a few times, and then regained his composure, then bent down and got out of the carriage.
"follow me."
He walked straight forward, Gu Cong looked at the little deer again, and then followed Chi Jinnian's footsteps.
They didn't know that the deer woke up the moment it left Chi Jinnian's lap.
He straightened up, watched the two figures walk into the forest, and closed the window sill with one hand.
The two disappeared behind the bushes, he got out of the carriage and followed.
--------
"Gu Cong, let him forget."
Chi Jinnian stopped, but did not turn around.
Gu Cong's breathing was suddenly cut off, and he found the silk thread and reconnected it with great difficulty.
He didn't answer, the man in front said again,
"Demon, he shouldn't know."
The man turned around with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a pair of deep eyes, with an irresistible majesty above his head,
"He's had enough of the filth in this world."
"From now on, there will only be clarity around him."
Gu Cong's eyes suddenly appeared the fair face of that petite young man, and his heart throbbed.
"My lord, if my concubine forgets, everything will have to start all over again."
"He will not only forget the demon, but also the prince."
forget me.
Chi Jinnian's eyes were a little darker again, and his emotions were hidden at the bottom of the valley and surging.
"If he knows that the monster that got out of control in Luozhou City, the monster that killed his family was raised by me,"
He opened his eyes wide, his expression looked a little cruel, mixed with guilt, mixed with distress,
"What should he do?"
"At that time, he will suffer a hundred times, a thousand times than now, do you understand?"
Chi Jinnian took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Gu Cong's face, his tone was full of no doubts, and a kind of inescapable sadness.
Gu Cong's eyes were also trembling crazily, and then the prince turned around with his hands behind his back,
"Go ahead."
"He's still sleeping, let him forget before he wakes up."
Gu Cong took a deep breath,
"Yes."
Then turned around.
Chi Jinnian stood where he was, listening to the sound of feet stepping on dead leaves behind him, his face was expressionless, but his heart ached.
How he picked up that little young man from the Changping River, how he took his life back from the monsters in the bamboo forest, how he took him into the mansion to be his companion, how he loved and protected him with all his heart, he remembered for him.
And the pain on his body is also remembered for him.
Only Chi Jinnian didn't expect that his stubborn kindness would be noticed by the little deer in the forest.
The little deer ran back to the carriage with tears in his eyes, but didn't make a sound on the dead leaves.
---------
When Gu Cong approached the carriage, he stepped lightly.
The curtains of the carriage were still open, he walked over and stood by the window, the little man was still sleeping peacefully, the tip of his nose might be hot and a little red.
Gu Cong got into the car silently, sat down beside him, raised one hand, and before stroking his head, he clenched his fist tightly and did not go any further.
He looked away, and the unbearable feeling in his heart began to spread wildly again.
At this moment, the sleeve of that arm was pulled, he was startled, turned his head, and met a pair of red eyes.
"Master Gu."
"I heard it all."
The little man looked at him like this, only two tears fell down, but the intensity was heavier than before.
"I don't want to forget, can I?"
Ruan Yuan's pupils were trembling, causing the barriers in Gu Cong's heart to collapse a little bit.
"I know those demons are raised by him, but I don't blame him."
"It was the Seventh Prince who set the fire."
"He went back to save Baguio for me, such a big fire..."
Ruan Yuan cried so much that his body began to tremble, but he didn't let go of the hand that was holding onto Gu Cong's sleeve.
"But now...he has taken all those mistakes on himself."
"Master Gu, how could I hate him."
"I know that he failed to save Baguio and became a thorn in his heart. He made me forget that he wanted me to be happy."
"So I will forget," Ruan Yuan raised his eyes, his eyes were red, which made people feel distressed, "but I don't really forget, is that okay?"
"Those memories, even if they are painful, are filled with joy because of him."
Gu Cong gently placed that hand on top of his head.
Then lightly raised a smile.
"It's like this, it's the best."
"Princess, please sleep for another hour."
"When we wake up, let's get to know each other again."
----------
Chi Jinnian approached the carriage, and Gu Cong sat in front of the carriage, his eyes were far away, and he didn't know where he fell.
"how."
When he asked, Gu Cong came back to his senses and saluted respectfully.
"Go back to the prince, the spell has been performed."
"When the princess wakes up again, she won't remember anything."
Chi Jinnian's pupils trembled secretly, but without answering, he walked to the window and looked at the young master who was sleeping soundly inside.
After watching like this for a while, he got into the car, lifted the curtain and sat in, gently took the little boy's hand and held it in his palm, and bowed his head to kiss the white gauze wrapped around it.
It doesn't matter, you forgot, I will only remind you of those happy parts in the future.
He kissed his hand, then kissed his forehead, and finally his lips stopped on the lips of the little boy, and he pressed his lips in a daze.
Ruan Yuan's eyebrows twitched, pain and affection intertwined in his heart, watering the nectar in that forest, it immediately bloomed a fragrance again.
Thank you, but those pains cannot be remembered by you alone.
---------
Ruan Yuan opened his eyes and saw Chi Jinnian's hands tightly wrapped around his waist, with his eyes closed.
He glanced at him with nostalgia, his gaze lightly drew a flower on his cheek, and then retracted it calmly, pretending to be serious.
"Who are you."
He put one hand on Chi Jinnian's and pulled it away, but his fingers hooked on his fingertips intentionally.
The prince opened his eyes, held his hand back again, moved down along the fingertips that hadn't broken off in time, and interlocked with his fingers.
"Chi Jinnian."
"It's your husband."
"Since you were five years old, you were sent to my house by your parents and grew up with me."
"When you saw me, you laughed from ear to ear."
Ruan Yuan looked at him, blinked his clear eyes a few times, did not break away from his hand, but smiled a flower.
"You say you are my husband, then I am your husband too."
Yes, when I saw you, I couldn't close my mouth from ear to ear.
Chi Jinnian put one hand on his shoulder, picked up his upper body, and hugged him into his arms, with his chest against his chest.
"You are, my Princess Jin."
