Chapter 353 I miss my mother

Shen Yan and Mu Yao finally got married, and after five years Mu Yao was finally able to marry Shen Yan as his wife, which was extremely difficult for her.How many five years does a woman have to wait? In fact, she had many opportunities to turn against the client, but she gave up all of them later.

Waiting is sometimes a good thing.When you like someone, you have loved him persistently for five years, and you will be extremely lucky when you get the reward that belongs to you.

Of course, not everyone is so lucky.

At least Mu Baili is not, he has been looking for and waiting, how many people have been released, but there is still no news back.After drinking a glass of wine, he looked at the cup in his hand helplessly. It was obviously a wedding wine, but when he drank it, he felt bitter and unbearable.

Shen Yan held the cup in Mu Baili's hand, "Brother, don't get drunk."

"Since I left the capital with Si Rui, I have been walking but never dared to let myself get drunk. I know that I have lost my wife, so I should protect my daughter. This is the duty of a man. But people You will always be tired, and being tired is worse than anything else." Mu Baili sighed softly, "You won't understand the feeling of being at a loss."

"The moment she left, I felt that I was not far from death. It was the child's crying that kept me going. Watching Si Rui grow up day by day, I felt even more uncomfortable. The little girl is very well-behaved, not easy Ask about her mother."

"But which child in this world doesn't want to have both parents? Rui'er also wants to, but she doesn't dare to ask me. Sometimes I can't help but ask, and seeing my strange expression, it's enough."

"I'm not a good father. I can't even do the only thing I can do for my daughter. I failed to love her mother well for Rui'er. This is the biggest failure of my life. If you look back at her and smile, then what is the use in this world?"

Shen Yan let go, watching Mu Baili drank the wine in the glass, "Things are impermanent, but the law of heaven reincarnates, and those who should meet will meet again. Maybe sister-in-law was just delayed by something suddenly, so she couldn't come back! "

"Zhao Wuyou and I fell in love too hastily, and we were unprepared for parting." Mu Baili choked up, trying his best to calm down his emotions and force himself to calm down.For five years, he had never confided his sorrow of parting to anyone, "She strategizes in this life, no matter what she does, she always has a plan in her mind, and I am not as good as her in the end."

"Life should be like luck, and if you are lucky, you will finally meet Qing. No matter where she is, I will keep looking for her. If you want to see her in life, you will see her dead body. If you can't find her in one day, you can spend two days. If you can't find her in a year, you can spend ten years. Anyway, this life is hers."

After parting with Qing, I had no time to appreciate every scenery I met.

Shen Yan nodded, but saw the boy outside quickly come in, and then presented the letter respectfully.This is a letter from an old man, with the special seal of the desert inn on it.

"The debt I owe can be repaid again." Mu Baili laughed at himself.

Shen Yan was puzzled, "What is this?"

"Human life." Mu Baili opened the letter, his eyes darkened, "In the past, Jinling City was destroyed, and I was defeated in the Daqi Desert. Fortunately, I was rescued. So now, it's time for me to pay the debt."

He got up and walked slowly towards Little Sirui, "Ruier?"

Little Sirui was having fun with Huo Huo and Mu Yao, and for a long time thought that only her father was with her, and few people really played with her and made her crazy.And this Huo Huo is a playful and laughing person, there are always some common topics between girls.

"Rui'er, dad is leaving." Mu Baili squatted down, "Would you like to go with dad?"

Mu Yao frowned, "Are you leaving so soon?"

Mu Baili took a deep breath, "Suddenly something happened, I have to leave."

"Father, I don't want to leave, I want to stay and rest for a while." Little Sirui pouted, "Father, where are you going?"

Mu Baili helplessly stroked his daughter's little head, "Father is going to Daqi for a trip, and it will take some time before he comes back. If you don't follow Dad...Dad won't let it go."

"Why don't you just let Si Rui stay here?" Shen Yan said, "Elder brother is going to do business here, and if you think about it, you won't be able to take care of Si Rui for a while, why don't you just leave her here and wait for elder brother to come back and pick her up. We will buy a house in the town below, and we will not treat Si Rui badly."

"Father!" Little Sirui yelled in a childish voice, and obediently slipped into Mu Baili's arms, "Father, I will listen carefully to what my uncle, aunt, and sister Huo Huo have to say, come when the time comes Just pick me up."

Perhaps even the children don't want to live a life of ups and downs, probably because they are really tired.

Mu Baili let out a long breath, "That's okay, but you are not allowed to be mischievous, and you are not allowed to create problems for little uncles and aunts, understand?" What kind of virtue is his own daughter, he, as a father, of course knows.

These years, the child has been following him, and he is still restrained, but the child is too smart, so it is always worrying.Without Mu Baili's restraint, he wondered if little Sirui would cause trouble.

The child was so clever, like her mother, that sometimes her thoughts were elusive.

"Lord Chitose, don't worry!" Huo Huo said, "We will definitely take good care of Miss."

Mu Baili got up, and Shen Yan followed him to the side to talk.

"Si Rui looks cute, but don't really treat her like a child." Mu Baili couldn't help worrying, "She has inherited her mother's temperament, and she shouldn't take her words seriously, understand? No matter what she wants to do, just Remember, send someone to keep an eye on her, no matter what the reason or excuse, no one is allowed to leave her side."

"Brother is afraid that Si Rui will run away?" Shen Yan chuckled, "How can there be such a father?"

"I watched her grow up, and she became more and more like her mother. You have to understand that Zhao Wuyou became famous at the age of nine, and entered the imperial court at the age of 13, so the daughter she gave birth to is naturally extraordinary." Mu Baili It seemed a little helpless.

Shen Yan was even more helpless, "Isn't this very good? Others are worried that the child is not smart enough, but hearing his brother's tone, they feel a little disgusted?"

"Love is long, and wisdom will be hurt." Mu Baili looked at Shen Yan, "You don't understand the heart of a father. What I want is not how smart the child is, but that she grows up healthy and happy. When you become a father in the future, you will understand that the basic requirement of a father for his daughter is happiness!"

Shen Yan nodded, "Don't worry, brother, I will let Huo Huo Haosheng stare at her, and I won't let her take a step away from my sight."

"That's great." Mu Baili said, "It will take me a month or two at the earliest to go to Daqi. If there are no accidents, I will come back as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Shen Yan nodded and bowed to salute.

"Thank you." Mu Baili whispered.

Looking back at the little Sirui who was having fun in the yard, Mu Baili let out a long breath, "She has been with me these years, and her life is not easy, and she owes their mother and daughter in the end."

"Brother, don't think too much, the days will always get better and better." Shen Yan comforted.

Mu Baili got into the carriage, got out of the carriage before leaving, and walked up to Xiao Sirui.Without saying a word, he held the child in his arms and kissed him, "You must wait for daddy to come back obediently, and don't cause trouble, understand?"

Little Sirui tilted his head to look at him, "Why is Dad so worried? Sirui is a good boy."

Embracing his precious daughter tightly, Mu Baili nodded, "So it's not that the daughter can't leave Dad, it's that the dad can't leave the daughter. You and Dad have been dependent on each other all these years, and Dad... can't bear to let you go."

Little Sirui patted his father's back and smiled crisply, "Rui'er will obediently wait for father to come back!"

"You must be obedient." Mu Baili is still worried, this is his heart and soul!
After getting into the carriage, Mu Baili poked his head out again to look at little Sirui who was playing in the yard. He had never let go of his daughter alone for so many years, and now that he was drifting away, his heart was always in a state of ups and downs. sharp.

The meat of the heart is always reluctant to let go.

Little Sirui lay at the door and looked at it for a long time, making sure that the carriage did not come back again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "I have never seen father talk so much before."

Huo Huo nodded, "I've never seen Nine Thousand Years so affectionate."

"You all call my father nine thousand years old? Was my father very powerful before?" Little Sirui asked.

This question stunned everyone.

Huo Huo laughed dryly, leaned over and squatted in front of little Sirui, "It's not very powerful, it's too powerful. You don't even know that before nine thousand years old..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Mu Yao coughed twice, "It's getting late, Huo Huo, take little Sirui to sleep!"

Little Sirui turned her eyes, and immediately took Huo Huo's hand, "Sister is so beautiful, I like to sleep with sister Huo Huo."

Mu Yao frowned slightly, "You really sound like her!" She curled her lips, "The tone and way of speaking is almost exactly the same as her back then, she is used to coaxing people, and coaxing people around."

"Are you talking about my mother?" Little Sirui blinked her bright eyes, "What does my mother look like?"

"Haven't you seen it? Your father..." Mu Yao paused.

Little Sirui shook his head, "I dare not ask."

"Go to sleep first!" Shen Yan came over, "It's better not to know some things. When your father finds your mother, you will be able to see your mother. Your mother is an extraordinary woman, extremely intelligent. , Bingxue is smart."

Little Sirui was overjoyed, "Really? Really?"

Huo Huo took little Sirui's hand and led her slowly towards the hut beside him.

Mu Yao stood there, let out a soft breath, "It's pitiful to say the least, the mother is not around, I can understand the child's longing for the mother. But fortunately, the missing In the part, Lord Chitose has taken on a lot of responsibility, so little Sirui doesn't seem to be too different from ordinary people."

"A man who brings up a child like this is considered a character, right?" Shen Yan said helplessly.

Mu Yao nodded, "There is no resentment in this child's eyes or heart, it's really not easy." After thinking about it, Mu Yao cautiously approached Shen Yan, looked around, and held Shen Yan's hand without seeing anyone else. , "That... today is the day we got married, so tonight is our bridal chamber wedding night."

She pursed her lips and saw Shen Yan nodded his head.

Shen Yan didn't say much, but just took her back to the room.The house below was still under construction, and they didn't want to be disturbed by others, so they chose such a secluded place.

When closing the door, Mu Yao was full of joy and nervousness.

Shen Yan was almost taken aback when he turned around, Mu Yao just stood behind him happily, staring at him with big eyes blinking, "Sir, can I change your clothes for you?"

"I, myself..." Before he could finish speaking, Mu Yao started directly.

Shen Yan sometimes felt very helpless, every time she said something to her, she would forget all of it when she was happy, so that what he told her not long ago to slow her down was forgotten by her.

Everything was preempted by her.

The next moment, Shen Yan suddenly picked up Mu Yao and walked directly towards the mattress.

You can't get good words, you can only show your attitude with practical actions.Some things should be initiated by a man, after all, Mu Yao is always a woman, he doesn't hope that in the future, when she recalls the original scene, he will not be able to find his joy for her.

He doesn't express his words, but it doesn't mean he is a wooden man.He knows how he and Mu Yao came here these years.

Mu Yao was really stunned, he always took the initiative, and he accepted it passively, this time...

"I hope that the future will be in your memory, or when you and I are getting old, you can still feel my sincerity when you think of our past." Shen Yan leaned forward, looking down at her very seriously, "Only in this way, if you and I have a quarrel in the future, you will remember that I like you. In this confrontation between you and me, you are not the only one who is moved, and I am also the same."

He paused, this was probably the tune that Mu Yao had heard before, and belonged to Shen Yan's longest speech.

He said, "Yao'er, I like you, but you always finish everything I want to say and do. It's not that I don't like it, I just think I have to do some things myself. For the rest of my life, I will not regret it in this life.”

He bowed his head and kissed her lips.

Mu Yao's eyelashes trembled constantly, and her hands climbed up his back, "I thought..."

He looked up at her, "Do you think my heart is cold?"

She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"You should know that every time I face you, my heart is warm. My father and queen only have my mother and queen, and my elder brother has been running around for Zhao Wuyou in this life, and I will only have you for the rest of my life. Are you willing to be with me?" Shall I live and die together, have children together, and die together?" He untied her clothes.

"That's really nice." She choked up.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for five years." He patted her warm cheeks and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I won't make you wait again in the future, we will be together wherever we go. You have me, the world is your home."

She nodded fiercely, and bent down to kiss his lips, but he held her shoulders.

"For this kind of thing, I'll do it!" He pursed his lips and smiled, leaning over and bowing his head.

Lips and teeth touch each other, this is the warmth and future he gives.There is always hope, as long as you don't give up at any time, maybe it will be a beautiful sunny day when you turn around.

There was some pain when going in, Mu Yao gritted her teeth and did not dare to say anything, but her body was tense and stiff.

"If you feel pain, just call it out." Shen Yan also held back very hard, he knew that Mu Yao put him in the supreme position, for fear of making him unhappy.But all his displeasure was just because she put him in a high position and failed to take care of herself.

Mu Yao looked at him with red eyes, "It hurts."

Shen Yan nodded, "I'll be gentle, don't cry."

The four eyes met, and the affection lingered.

The fingertips pinched into Shen Yan's arm, the so-called pain and happiness, probably at this time.What kind of blessing is it to be able to marry the person you like, and only allow one person in this life?
After the incident, Mu Yao blushed and lay in Shen Yan's arms, her brows drooping slightly, she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to lift her fingers.Fortunately, she is a person who has practiced martial arts, so she can recover a little after resting.

"This time, it's too late to regret." She whispered in his arms.

Shen Yan carefully tucked in the quilt for her, "I won't say sweet words, and I won't make you happy, but the only promise I can give you is to accompany you. Now you and I have nothing to do, I can accompany you You go to see the scenery you want to see, do what you want to do. Don't think I'm clumsy, and I won't think you are stupid. As a husband and wife, let's live a good life and stay together in a hundred years."

Mu Yao looked at him, but she couldn't come to her senses, and finally she cried, "You said you can't coax people, you said these ten little girls who haven't been in the world have to run away with you."

"Don't cry." He hurriedly wiped away her tears, feeling a little flustered, "Why are you crying again? Don't you like to laugh or cry?"

"Can't you be moved?" She choked up, "I didn't expect you to be so good at talking. With your words, I can wait for thousands of years, let alone a hundred years, and I am willing to accompany you."

Interlocking fingers, hugging and sleeping, this is probably the best look in love.

From being together, to being whiteheaded.

This Mu Yao and Shen Yan are newlyweds, so they are very good.But when he woke up the next day, Mu Yao was taken aback by Huo Huo's black eyes, "What's wrong? Huo Huo, you haven't slept all night?"

Huo Huo turned his head and looked at Xiao Sirui who was still soundly asleep, "Miss pestered the servant all night, and asked the servant to tell me about the Prime Minister and Lord Qiantui, but the servant stayed up all night. No, the lady just fell asleep. The excitement of the night was really..."

"Then you should have a good rest!" Mu Yao frowned, turned her head to look at Shen Yan who still had a soft face, and didn't know what to do.

"I'm going down the mountain today, so you keep an eye on her. My brother said that Si Rui is very smart, just like Zhao Wuyou, so you..." Shen Yan stared at Mu Yao, "Yaoer, you know what to do done."

Mu Yao nodded, "I will keep an eye on her, no matter what excuses she has, I will not let her run around by herself."

"That's good!" Shen Yan let out a sigh of relief.

Shen Yan knew that Mu Yao was straight-hearted, and he knew better that Mu Yao couldn't do too complicated things, so the only thing he told her was to keep an eye on her.It's okay to keep an eye on the child, and everything else can be considered in the long run.

From Huo Huo's mouth, little Sirui knew a lot of stories about her mother, who disguised herself as a man and became the last prime minister of Daye, what a remarkable person she was.

While dreaming, she dreamed of her mother.

The memory of her childhood has long since returned to zero. She didn't know what her mother looked like. She only heard Huo Huo say that she was thin and slender, tall, with fair skin, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak.

In her dream, she pieced together the appearance of her mother. Although it was not clear enough, it was still very good.

Waking up from a dream with tears all over his face.

Little Sirui was sitting on the edge of the bed, while Huo Huo was lying on the table, sleeping soundly.Outside the window, there was a carriage coming down the mountain.There are no fruits and vegetables on the mountain, and all daily necessities and food are brought up from the mountain.They will not go down the mountain until the house in the town is built.Before that, Shen Yan didn't want them to wander down the mountain, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Mu Yao asked people to move things to the kitchen, these were purchased by Shen Yan from below, and they were delivered every three to five days.Now he is watching the construction of the house below, he is inevitably a little busy.

After seeing off people, Mu Yao washed her hands and walked back to the room sweating profusely.

Pushing open the door, Mu Yao was stunned, and immediately walked to the bed to check the mattress.There was a pillow under the quilt, but the child was missing.There was a buzzing sound in her head, and Mu Yao quickly woke up Huo Huo, "Don't sleep, Si Rui is lost! Hurry up!"

Huo Hooben was still in a drowsy sleep, when he suddenly heard what his princess said, he immediately exploded a thunder and stood up with a bullet.Reaching out to touch his face, Huo Huo looked confused, "Where will Miss go?"

"I searched inside and outside the house. You should go down the mountain immediately. You probably hid in the carriage and went down the mountain. If you can't find it, go to the uncle and tell him about it. The child should not have been gone for a long time, and there is still time to find it now." Mu Yao The reaction now is also extremely fast.

Huo Huo nodded, picked up the skirt and ran out.

Mu Yao searched the front and back of the house, every room where people could hide.Little Sirui is lost, this kid is as agile as his father, and his mind is as flexible as Zhao Wuyou.Whatever she wants to do, she will do.

She climbed out of the window, while Mu Yao and the coachman were moving the fruits and vegetables to the kitchen space, got into the empty basket in the carriage, covered the lid properly and hid.

When the carriage left, Mu Yao didn't realize that Xiao Sirui was missing.By the time she found out, the carriage had already left.

Little Sirui is not that stupid, he would stay in the carriage foolishly, waiting for them to catch him at the foot of the mountain.So she quietly climbed out of the basket on the way, and when the carriage reached a stable place, she jumped down and rolled a few times before landing on the side of the mountain road.

I scratched a little skin on my hands, but fortunately, it's nothing serious.

Patting the dust off her body, she has been traveling with her father all these years, and Mu Baili taught her some skills, so despite her young age, Xiao Sirui is quite courageous.

Dust off his body and wash his wounds in the stream.Stretching herself, she walked down the road of the carriage to the town.Because he went out with his father all the year round, little Sirui always had some silver taels on him, which was prepared by Mu Baili in case of emergencies.

In the town, little Sirui bought dry food by himself.

Originally, she really didn't think about leaving alone, but after hearing about her mother's deeds, she felt her whole body was uplifted.The word "Mother" was actually a fatal temptation to her.All she wanted was to find her mother. She missed her mother and wanted to be with her mother.

Whenever she passed through various towns and saw that those children had mothers by their side, she was always envious.But she knew she shouldn't show that look, because her father wanted to find her mother more than she did.

But in the end, Shen Yan blocked the way out of the town.

This place is remote, and this is the only way to leave this town, so it is not so easy for her to leave.Fortunately, Shen Yan was one step faster, and fortunately, this girl was too thoughtful and remembered to buy dry food, otherwise even if Shen Yan arrived, it would be too late.

A small person with a small burden on his back stared at Shen Yan who was blocking the intersection with big eyes, pouted his lips and rolled his eyes in displeasure.

"Where do you want to go?" Shen Yan sighed softly, leaning over and squatting in front of her, "Si Rui, you are still young, how do you know that this world is dangerous? You have to know that if you leave alone today, if you meet bad people in the future, you I don’t even have the ability to fight back.”

"I want to find my mother." Little Sirui shouted, "I want a mother!"

"Your father will bring your mother back." Shen Yan said, "Where can you go as a child?"

"Father said, Mother was angry with him and didn't come back. But I was always born by mother. Even if mother was angry with father and didn't want to see him, then mother would never be angry with me. If I went to find mother, mother would definitely I'll come back with me." Little Sirui's eyes turned red, "Little uncle, I miss my mother! I've grown up so much, I don't even know what my mother looks like, other children have mothers by their side, why don't I have one? "

"When I was sick, and when I was sad, I was the only one there! I know that my father treats me very well, and I am my father's heart, but why can't my mother come to coax me? Does my mother really don't want us? I just I want my mother to hug me and kiss me, I miss my mother...but I dare not tell my father, I miss my mother...the kind that I miss so much."

Shen Yan had a sore nose, endured the tears that were about to fill his eyes, and gently hugged little Sirui, "Si Rui is good, go back with little uncle first. There are some things that you can't do if you want to do them, your mother will go away." After so many years, she must have had her own difficulties. Your mother loves your father deeply, if not, she would not have taken such a big risk to give birth to you. "

Little Sirui looked at him wiping away tears, "Little uncle?"

"Don't be sad, Si Rui, little uncle told you, there are stories about your father and your mother! After you have heard these stories, you can decide for yourself whether to leave here to find your mother." Shen Yan looked at her, "What do you think? How about this little uncle's proposal?"

Mu Baili said that this child is very similar to Zhao Wuyou, so it is useless for you to force her to take her back.Who is Zhao Wuyou, Shen Yan still has some contacts, this person is used to being thoughtful, so when it comes to dealing with Xiao Sirui, Shen Yan can only convince others with reasoning.

Little Sirui nodded, she really wanted to know everything about her mother.

Shen Yan knew more about Zhao Wuyou than Huo Huo.The two uncles and nephews were sitting on the side of the road, one was talking carefully and the other was listening carefully. When it came to the emotional part, the little girl stood up, opened a pair of bright big eyes, and stared straight at her. He stared at Shen Yan without saying a word.

From Pinglin City to Jinling City, there was chaos in Pingwai, fighting against prime ministers, destroying Xiao Rong, and changing dynasties.

Everything surprised the child. She never thought that her mother was such a powerful character.A woman with great wisdom finally became a legend whose life and death are unknown.

"So from the beginning to the end, those people didn't know that my mother was a woman?" Little Sirui blinked, "Has everyone in the world been deceived by my mother?"

"Even your little aunt and I have been lied to by your mother. Those who are familiar with her can only say that she is resourceful, but those who are not, have to call her a liar." Shen Yan sighed helplessly. With a voice, "Rui'er, do you want to be someone like your mother?"

"Think!" Little Sirui nodded.

Shen Yan stroked the child's little head, "Then you should understand, don't be willful and impulsive. Your mother has endured for so many years before she reached the position of prime minister step by step, and reached the pinnacle of life step by step. If you can't learn how your mother If you don't bear it, you won't be able to become such a great person as your mother."

"Si Rui, your mother is not angry with your father. It was so dangerous back then, and your mother gave birth to you for your father, but now that your father has put down everything for her, she will not be angry with your father. She has her own You have to believe that there is no mother in the world who would be willing to abandon a lovely and sensible daughter like you, you know? Your mother loves you both."

Xiao Sirui lowered her eyes, hugged the little burden in her arms tightly and did not speak.

The way the child frowns, really has her mother's true biography, it is almost carved out of the same mold.When she was not speaking, it was a little hard to figure out what was going on in her heart.

"Rui'er?" Shen Yan called softly, with a bit of flattery, "Have you thought it through? Go back with little uncle?"

Xiao Si Rui took a deep breath, opened the small bag, took a steamed bun from inside and handed it to Shen Yan, "Is little uncle hungry?"

Shen Yan looked at her and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Finished?" A person jumped down from the tree, "This story is really nice, I didn't expect this little girl to have such a long story."

Little Sirui quickly hid behind Shen Yan, stuck out a small head to look at the white-haired old man.

Shen Yan was startled for a moment, and then saluted quickly, "Master! I don't know if Master is here, but he is far away, so don't worry about it."

"This little girl must be that child!" The person who came here was definitely the elusive and extremely unreliable Mu Baili's master, the white-bearded old monster.The old man smiled and stared at Little Sirui behind Shen Yan, his eyes were a little bright.

Shen Yan swallowed, and quickly stood up straight, "Master, what are you doing?"

"I accidentally received the falcon you gave to Ran Heng, and I knew you were here when I accidentally read the letter. I thought that Ran Heng would come over too, so I came to try my luck, but who knew I would meet you and this The little girl is muttering here." The white-bearded old monster walked towards Xiao Sirui, "You are Xiao Sirui?"

The little girl frowned and looked at the white-haired old man, "Old man, why are you looking at me like this? I don't know you."

"But I know you." The white-bearded old monster looked at the child, "Your bones are amazing, your brain is still spinning fast, and you are so bold at a young age. Little Sirui, do you want to find a mother?"

Little Sirui tilted his head to look at him, with a half-hearted smile, "I won't help you find your mother."

The white-bearded old monster curled his lips, "Little girl is too sharp-tongued, just like your mother."

"Don't think that if you mention my mother, I will believe you." Xiao Sirui rolled her eyes, "I won't go with you." She held Shen Yan's hand and made a gesture towards the white-bearded monster. grimace.

"Master, don't take offense, this girl is very clever." Shen Yan had a lot of meaning.

The white-bearded old monster didn't understand, he hadn't spoken yet, how did this girl know what he was thinking?
