captive skylark

Chapter 36
He swore again, "If there is another time, it will cause sores on my mouth and tongue, and I will not die well."

"Brother, what are you doing?"

She hastily covered his mouth, her face was burning red, she was shy and shy, she was the most understanding girl, "Why do you swear such vicious oaths, I believe in brother."

After speaking, the girl lowered her eyes.

The wind warms the fragrance of flowers, clears up the suspicion, and complains to each other.

This matter was falsely exposed.

Later Xie Shuang heard about this and asked her, "Isn't Sister Yuan sad? If it were me, I would have to beat him with a whip to relieve my anger."

"And then? Is the trouble known to everyone?" Yun Xi pursed her lips, and said softly, "Don't say I don't want to, even my grandmother and uncle can't agree. Xie and Xu have always been good friends, is it because of this?" Is it possible to break up with trivial matters?"

"Sister thinks this is a trivial matter?" Xie Shuang's eyes widened, unable to agree, "You like him, but he disregards your wishes and goes out to find flowers and ask Liu, this... How can this be a trivial matter?"

She thought that Yunxi was just trying to hold on, but she was really suffering from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't want outsiders to know, so she came to comfort her, "Sister, you don't have to be like this in front of me. I know you like Brother Xu, but you have to take care of the faces of grandma and uncle." Swallow it by force. Don't worry, when I find an opportunity, I will secretly vent my anger on you, and I will never let you suffer this grievance in vain."

Yun Xi just laughed and said nothing.

On the other side, Xu Zhijian also racked his brains to coax the girl to please him, he couldn't go to and from Xie's house every day, so he had to ask Xie Heng to convey the letter on his behalf.

The thin letter paper was handed to him, Xie Heng took it with his jaw, turned his head back to the bamboo garden, and the flames from the candlestick swept it.

It just so happened that Yunxi came over and saw her, and her foot suddenly stopped when she stepped into the threshold. She supported the door frame and asked him softly, "What did brother burn?"

"His letter to his sister."

He didn't hide it, came over to hold her hand, and led her to sit down at the desk.

"Didn't my brother promise to do what I want?"

Yun Xi raised his eyes to look at him, the bamboo curtain on the window was half rolled up, the sunlight could not penetrate, his face was sunk in the mottled light and shadow, flickering bright and dark, he couldn't see clearly.

"Sister, don't worry." He said softly, "My sister wants to marry him, and I will follow my sister's wishes. It's just that if I want to contribute to the flames and send my sister to someone else with my own hands, I don't want to."

He looked at her and smiled slightly, "My sister is also considerate of my heart..."

Yun Xi lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, "Thank you, brother, for making it happen."

It's just a letter, it doesn't matter if you read it or not.

As long as there are no troubles in her life, so that she can marry into the Xu family smoothly, that will be fine.

Xie Heng also sat down opposite, poured a cup of tea, and brought it in front of her, "My sister hasn't come for a long time, why did you remember it today?"

"I made an appointment with Sister Shuang, and I will go to my grandmother's place in a while. When I came out, I saw that it was still early, so I came to see my brother first."

Yun Xi took a sip of tea lightly, a slight bitterness rose from the tip of his tongue, but the aftertaste was sweet and clear.

She wanted to please him, so she smiled and looked up at him, "Why, brother doesn't welcome me?"

"Of course my sister is welcome." He also smiled, and raised his hand to pour another cup for himself.

The two sat opposite each other, gossiping, as if they had returned to the past, when brother and sister were harmonious and their relationship was very close.

However, they are all illusions. How can a cat who has been exposed to meat be able to resist stealing food?
After a while, the tea in his hand was exhausted, and the two of them slumped on the couch stickily.

With half push and half push, Xie Heng was about to untie her belt, but she pressed it down lightly, "It's sunny, brother, be more careful, what if someone sees it?"
