Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 22 Reveal the truth
In the quiet night, people who have been tired for a day have already rested, only the watchmen are still walking in the streets and alleys for people's safety.

Seeing that the Bihai Pavilion was still brightly lit, Situ Jing pushed the door and walked in, "Haier, why haven't you slept yet?" When he entered the door, he saw that I was still busy under the lamp, and the dim candlelight made me look even thinner.I looked up and saw that it was Situ Jing, and asked, "Brother Jing, why are you here?" Situ Jing said, "I just finished discussing the matter of the Ministry of War with my father, and I saw that there was still light in your room, so I came in to have a look. It's already past midnight, why haven't you slept yet? What are you doing?"

I glanced at him and continued to work on the pattern in my hand, "It's so late, I have to be busy with some things and I forgot the time." He touched my head and said to me: "Don't be so busy, go to sleep, tomorrow is here It’s the same for doing.” I put together the design drawings on the table, stood up and stretched, and said, “Alright, it’s too late today, so let’s do it tomorrow.”

Situ Jing glanced at Xu Lu, who was supposed to be serving in the room, and asked, "Where is Xu Lu, let him fetch you water to wash up." He rubbed his tired eyes lazily Said: "I have already asked him to go back to rest, and I will fetch water by myself later." Situ Jing pulled me to the bed and sat down, and said: "You go to bed and rest first, and I will fetch water for you." Then he walked out of the room with the copper basin in his hand.I sat on the bed and looked at him, and said to his back: "Thank you, brother Jing." Maybe it was confusion or dazzlement, and I saw that trace of sadness in his eyes again.

Situ Jing took the fetched water and patted me who was lying on the bed and was troubled by sleepiness, and said, "Hai'er, come wash up and sleep." I yawned and said in a daze, "Ha...Jing Brother, I'm so sleepy, can you wipe my face?" Situ Jing looked at my tired expression and said, "I really can't help you, let me wash it for you." Situ Jing took a towel and soaked it in the basin, After wringing it dry, I wiped my face and hands. After wiping, I took off my shoes and coat, and stuffed me into a warm brocade quilt.

The cool well water dispelled my drowsiness. Seeing Situ Jing who was busy for me gave me a very familiar feeling, as if I was not Situ Jing but cousin Yunxiang.Involuntarily flirting with him: "Brother Jing is so kind, please sleep with me." Seeing that I invited him to sleep together, Situ Jing was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised, and said with a grin, "Hai'er actually invited me to sleep with me, I'm sure I won't refuse, come and ask me to come." Situ Jing took off his coat and slipped into my quilt, and suddenly I felt that I had made a huge mistake.

I regretted to the death how could I let him sleep on the same bed with me, I hurriedly pushed his face aside and said, "Brother Jing, don't put your face so close to me." Situ Jing ignored my objection and walked away. He hugged me from behind, and said rascally: "Your bed is so small, the quilt is so thin, I will catch cold if I don't get close to you, why don't you let me hug you to sleep."

"Don't pull" I resisted instinctively, but he was so strong that I couldn't break free but was hugged tightly by him.The warmth coming from behind reminds me of my cousin Yunxiang who hugged me like this once. How is he doing now?Do you think of my cousin who has passed away?I remembered that cousin Yunxiang was crying involuntarily, and Situ Jing who was behind him noticed it, and asked, "Hai'er, why are you crying? Is it because I hugged you too tightly?" Tears, and said to him behind: "No, why would I cry?"

Situ Jing turned my body around and said, "You said you didn't cry, why are your eyes so red?" He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes while speaking.I covered my face with my hands and didn't want him to see me crying, so I said vaguely, "Brother Jing, I'm just blind."

Situ Jing looked at me seriously, and said, "Hai'er, since your acne healed, I found that you have changed. You have become a stranger to me, and you are no longer the sick and noisy person who followed me all day long. The little brother I took you out to play with. You have become a little brother who no longer clings to me, no longer makes noise with me, and makes me a stranger." With a little sad words came out of his mouth, and for a moment I thought he had found out What, looking at him nervously.

I touched his face with my hand and said, "Brother Jing, don't be so sad, okay? I haven't changed. I'm still the little brother you love." After getting along for so long, this is the first time I've been so close Looking at him from a distance, thick eyebrows, piercing eyes, high nose, thick lips, and delicate facial features form a handsome face.

Situ Jing tremblingly expressed the doubts in his heart: "Hai'er, don't lie to me. I remember that when your acne had just improved, one night I was by your side, and you called out a stranger's name while you were sound asleep. " I was a little anxious to know whose name I called out, which made him suspicious of me, could it be... I really dare not think about it, maybe this may be my fault as the young son of Prince Ping's mansion. It's the last night.I looked at him nervously and asked, "Whose name? Brother Jing, tell me, what did I say at that time?"

Situ Jing slowly said the name, the name for which I was crying just now, "You seem to be calling Cousin Xiang in a daze." My tears flowed out involuntarily, looking at the seemingly big man in front of me. The grinning man also has a meticulous side, and asked softly: "From this sentence, you know that I am no longer your little brother?" Situ Jing shook his head and said: "At that time, I thought Haier had a fever and was talking nonsense. But you will call this name for a few days in a row, so I have doubts. After these years of getting along, I found that Haier is no longer close to me, and even alienated me intentionally, and became Haier who I am familiar with. I am a completely different person, which deepens my doubts. But I don't want to prove it, I don't want to lose my brother." The choked voice kept lingering in my ears.

I reached out my hand to wipe away a tear from the corner of his eye and said, "Brother Jing, so you have already found out, so I won't hide it from you. I am indeed not your younger brother Situ Hai. I am in another world different from this one. I used to My name is Mu Yi. By chance, I came to this world and occupied the body of your younger brother Situ Hai. The Yun Xiang you heard is my cousin’s name. The reason why I distanced myself from you was because I was afraid that you would doubt me, but you still found out. No matter whether you accept it or not, your younger brother Situ Hai is no longer in this world. I, Mu Yi, is in front of you now. Whether now or in the future, your younger brother will always be me." After I said it, I immediately felt a lot more relaxed. It turned out that it was such a pleasure to express my thoughts, but I forgot the feelings of the people around me.

"Hai'er... Haier..." A higher-pitched cry came from Situ Jing's mouth, and I felt a heart-piercing pain from him.I covered his mouth with my hand and said, "Situ Jing, do you want to wake up the prince and princess and let them bear the pain of bereavement?"

Situ Jing stabilized his excitement, touched the familiar and unfamiliar person in front of him, and said what he had buried for a long time: "I know that Hai'er can't survive that acne, and the arrival of Taoist Luofu has ignited my hope, but It was still a step too late. So I hid my doubts in my heart. I didn't want my parents to experience the pain of bereavement. They are too old to bear such a blow. Mu Yi... No Haier, never From now on, you will still be my little brother, Situ Hai, the second son of Prince Ping's Mansion. From now on, I will be your real brother, and I will love you like your cousin Xiang, protect you and let you live a carefree life " I stretched out my hands to wipe away the tears on his face, and said, "Brother Jing, can I really be your younger brother? Can I really continue living here without leaving here?" Situ Jing stretched out Putting his left hand on his chest, he grabbed my hands with his right and said solemnly: "Yes, you will always be my little brother, and no one can hurt you. I, Situ Jing, promise that I will never let my little brother suffer any grievances."

"Brother Jing..." Seeing that I didn't believe what he said, he actually swore to the sky, which made my heart that I thought to be strong collapse instantly, and I threw myself into his arms and cried bitterly, expressing the sadness buried in my heart out.Gradually tired of crying, I found a comfortable position in his warm arms and fell into a sweet dreamland.Situ Jing hugged me tightly, for fear that I would disappear into his embrace.

"Hai'er, my younger brother." After I fell asleep, he kissed my forehead lightly and then fell asleep, with a smile on his mouth.
