Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1948 Dongfeng Mistake

That night, Qin Jia talked a lot intermittently, Jiang Liechen didn't answer a word, but he also listened to her struggle and hesitation, and let her tears burn deep and shallow in his heart shallow scars.

At some point, there was gradually silence around him, and he put on airs for a long while before moving his neck, which was a little stiff from keeping the same posture for a long time, and turned his head to look at her.

Qin Jia should have said that she was tired and fell asleep, her slender eyelashes covered her eyelids, covered with a warm yellow halo by the dancing candles in the room, her face was rosy and clean like a newborn baby.The little mouth is still pursed lightly in sleep, looking both cute and distressing.

She was indeed wronged. Everything he did during this period challenged her bottom line of patience, but it was hard for her, and he never left.

After falling asleep, she fell to the side of the wall, curled up pitifully.In the past, when she accompanied her to deal with official duties, she would habitually lean to her side when she took a nap, resting her head on his shoulder - she was still so dependent on herself at that time.

This small change caused Jiang Liechen to feel a subtle pain in his heart. He carefully held her shoulders and brought her over, helped her to lie down slowly, and covered her with the quilt again. Every movement was relaxed. Lightly so as not to wake her who is sleeping soundly.

Seeing that she was still holding the storybook in her hand, he took it out and put it on the low table beside him. He habitually took her hand and was about to stuff it into the quilt as well. This long-lost touch suddenly shocked him.

With such a small, soft hand, he held her hand many times before, took her to play around, to discover all kinds of delicacies, and they were happier then than now.The ups and downs of memories flashed alternately, and my heart was hot and cold, but I couldn't break through the hard shell built by arrogance after all.After pondering for a while, he still pulled the quilt silently for her, and covered her hands tightly.

Probably only after she fell asleep, he could no longer hide his inner feelings.Sitting on the bedside, he looked at her quietly, listening to her even breathing, his eyes were gradually blurred by a layer of warm light, and he raised his hand to stroke her small head, with infinite love in his eyes.In front of Qin Jia, he didn't know how long he hadn't shown such soft eyes.

"Qin Jia... don't you think you are contradictory?" He sighed low, as if he was talking to her, and he was also saying to himself, "I hope that I will die, why do you still want me to protect you?"

"...I am also very conflicted. I know your position, but I still can't let you go."

Kannai Qinjia's eyes were still tightly closed, her throat and heart were tightening, as if she had been stuffed with a sour apricot.She needs to use all her strength to suppress the heat in her eyes.

Is it only when I fall asleep that I can feel his tenderness again...

She knew that if the trial came, she would be powerless to stop it. The law would ultimately judge criminals, and neither the left nor the right could escape.But if the deal couldn't be changed, then maybe some of her companions would die for resisting him.She can neither betray her family and friends, nor can she coldly hope that Jiang Liechen will die, because he takes care of her and protects her. His emotion, that is also his betrayal, her own punishment.

Both parties have no way to betray, she can't let her family and friends die in his hands, and she doesn't want Jiang Liechen's crimes to become more and more serious, so she will lose him more easily.

The way he was stroking her head now and coaxing her to sleep reminded her of her father.They are also people who love themselves, but the ending is doomed from the beginning.The more Kannai Qinjia thought about it, the sadder she became. If he continued to love her like this, she would hardly be able to pretend anymore... So she pretended to turn over unintentionally, facing the wall, bit her lips tightly, and faced it alone. The barrenness of the heart.

Knowing that you are going farther and farther on the wrong path, I cannot pull you back or save you with my own strength.But the farther you go, the less I can find you, the more likely I will lose you.The law will sanction you, and God will bring you judgment, so that you can be worthy of those dead lives.I can't do it without letting you die, life is life after all.

But this trial will take away the person I love, and lose a person who can protect me, a person whom I warm silently.Even knowing that you will die, I can't let you go.We are all hurting each other, but we want to keep the warmth. Now, even I myself have been lost in the thick fog.

Where he couldn't see, she turned her back to him and quietly shed two lines of tears.

……

The next morning.

When Jiang Liechen woke up, he found that he was sleeping with Qin Jia in his arms.But Qin Jia hugged the white bear at first, and slept until midnight, but she turned over and hugged him in a daze, hanging on him like a koala, her little head snuggled into his arms obediently.She seemed to be having a good dream, with a sweet smile on her lips.

It seems that in their sleep, they still unconsciously chose to rely on each other.Bai Xiong sat aside with a smile, like a simple and honest witness.

Such a posture made Jiang Liechen happy at first, and then surprised, and he wanted to stand up in a hurry.Unexpectedly, he had just moved, but Qin Jia in her sleep seemed to feel it, and immediately clung to him and hugged him tightly, her little fist was still pounding on his chest, until he lay back down again, she recovered her little The peaceful sleeping face of an angel.

Jiang Liechen was both funny and helpless, so he could only resign himself to his fate and continue to lie down.After about a full stick of incense, he reckoned that she should be fast asleep, so he tried to get up again with light movements, but he was greeted with another small fist of reluctance.He even wondered whether she didn't sleep well, or she deliberately came to punish him.

After several attempts to no avail, perhaps because he was eager to enjoy this rare quiet time, or because he thought it would be okay to be lazy once in a while, he simply put his other hand behind his head and looked at the sky peacefully.Then he became playful, turned half sideways, and lightly pushed Qin Jia's nose up.Seeing the strange appearance she made by himself, he sniggered as if he had succeeded in a prank, and he was in a good mood.

She said last night that if she hadn't come to this world, she wouldn't have to face so many things, but if she didn't come, she wouldn't know herself.But he didn't want to imagine the possibility that they didn't meet.Even if she is doomed, it is also a rare redemption.

Anyway, thank you for coming.

When he came back to his senses, they were already very close.He was stunned for a long time, and seemed to have silently made a compromise to himself, the sharpness in his eyes gradually faded, his lips sank slightly, and he pressed a precious kiss on her forehead.

……

That day, they all got up much later than usual, and perhaps no one was willing to break this tranquility.

Until both of them were fully dressed and Jiang Liechen was sorting out the latest official documents at the desk, Shennei Qinjia quietly walked to his side.Before he could speak, she gently raised her hand and covered the back of his hand, her voice was thin and timid.

"Brother Lion, Mom and Dad never said they didn't want me, and I never tried to piss someone off and I don't know how to coax him. Qin Jia doesn't want you to continue making mistakes, and doesn't want you to leave. I don't know what to do when Luna isn't here... Qin Jia doesn't want to give up on you, but you don't want Qin Jia..."

"Then, Qin Jia won't bother you for the time being. I will grow up, and I will work hard to learn magic to make myself stronger. I don't have to rely on Brother Lion's protection all the time. I won't cause trouble for you, and don't become Brother Lion's weakness. , to drag you down..."

"I'm sorry...Qin Jia broke your heart...don't want me...I'm afraid of losing Brother Lion..."

Jiang Liechen didn't know when his pain point became so low. She showed him her fragile heart like this. He couldn't bear to trample on it anymore, and almost blurted out to let her stay.

"Brother Lion, Qin Jia knows that you can't accept the ending of death if you fail to fight back. Qin Jia doesn't ask you to accept it. Qin Jia just asks you not to go further and further down the wrong path...Qin Jia doesn't want to lose either. You..." Shennei Qinjia raised her head, her eyes were bright and pleading, "I still want to show you the world I live in..."

It was so real and desolate that Jiang Liechen was like a thousand arrows piercing through his heart in an instant, unable to utter a word.From that moment on, it probably took a few breaths, or seeing that he still didn't respond, Shennai Qinjia could only sigh that she had done useless work after all.She withdrew her hands, went to the side and took the storybook, picked up the white bear, and walked out the door with her head down.

Jiang Liechen stood there numbly, staring at her back, feeling numb and tingling in his heart.How much he wanted to keep her, how much he wanted to go back to the past with her, even if he had to put aside his principles and face temporarily, he didn't care.

I'm sorry, Qin Jia...

—Let's stop arguing.

--come back.

--I need you.

These few words rolled over and over again on his lips.

However, he didn't say a word after all.

He watched her thin back stepping out of the threshold, watched her disappear from his sight, but he never spoke to persuade her to stay.

If you give him a little more time, if Qin Jia is willing to coax him a few more words, maybe it can help him break through his inner barrier.The layer of solid ice already showed signs of cracking, but it still needed time for it to completely melt into water.

But Qin Jia has already left.

She doesn't need him to rush, she will leave by herself.

No one is obliged to stay where they are forever and so on.The lost scenery, the lost people, the longing that cannot wait, all live at the end of fate.

After that, Qin Jia never came to him again.

Those unspoken words never got a chance to be said again.Those knots that were not untied in time have become eternal regrets.

People always think that there is still a lot of time to get along with each other, so they can easily live up to each other.While squandering the present, while fearing the future.One thought he would not leave, and the other thought he would stay.

Of them, one didn't take an extra step, and the other didn't wait an extra step.

So that one step of difference separated them on the other side of life and death.

Ten thousand years become empty!
