Chi Xiaowan lowered her head slightly, feeling grievances in her heart but refusing to say it. The Sima she was facing only had Cong Yier in her heart. Is her so-called grievance worth Sima's concern?
"Sit down quickly." Sima smiled with a gentle expression. He could see that Chi Xiaowan had something on his mind, and he had a grievance that he couldn't bear. He also felt a little unbearable in his heart, but it was just unbearable.
To the point where he needed to stand up and walk over to hold her in his arms to comfort her. Maybe this grievance was related to him, but was it important?
Chi Xiaowan sat down, with nothing to do. He poured himself a cup of hot tea, held it in his hands, and warmed it. After a while, he slowly said: "It's raining heavily outside."
"Yes." Sima looked out the window. The curtains were pulled open and the window was open. A bit of chill drifted into the room. Several pots of green plants were pleasing to the eye.
After hesitating and thinking for a long time, Chi Xiaowan continued: "I went to the old site today. There are many stories there. As you said, there are many, many, right?"
Sima looked at Chi Xiaowan sharply and said flatly: "Yes."
"The little boss of the home-cooked restaurant said that your full name is Sima Yixuan." Chi Xiaowan said with some difficulty. What is she hoping for? Is it the truth? Or is it not the truth? "And the author of the painting
It’s the same name, right?”
Sima smiled faintly and looked at Chi Xiaowan. He remembered that night, the night when Yi'er was wronged and played the flute. He also had such a hesitant and confused expression. Chi Xiaowan was very similar to Yi'er in many cases.
Although he could not clearly recall Yi'er's voice, appearance, and smile, Chi Xiaowan gradually made his memory clearer.
"Yes, we are the same person." Sima looked at Chi Xiaowan quietly and said without any modification, "The little boss is right."
"The woman in the painting is Cong Yi'er, right?" Chi Xiaowan said boldly.
"Yes." Sima replied calmly, "Yes, you are very smart and can be so connected with the old site. I am the owner of the old site and the emperor in my story."
Chi Xiaowan's mind was blank, everything sounded so unreal.
Xiaoyi knocked on the door from outside and came in with a happy expression. She brought ginger soup and looked at the two people in the room and said: "Okay, Xiaowan, your ginger soup is here, and the meal ordered by the boss is also ready."
Come on, you can eat happily, the boss’s dishes are very difficult for the chef, but fortunately, they are finally made.”
Sima nodded and said casually: "Okay, put it on the table. Instruct other people, including you and Gan Nan, that no one is allowed to disturb this place without my arrangements. I think Xiao Wan must have many problems."
Want to know the answer."
"Yeah." Xiaoyi glanced at Chi Xiaowan, quietly left, ordered someone to bring in the hot meals and put them on the table, then closed the door and left.
"Now, you and I are the only ones left. If you have any questions you want to ask, you can ask them freely. I will answer you, because you already know a lot, and there is no need to hide it from you." Sima said calmly and gently, looking a little confused.
He missed Yi'er so much at the moment, she seemed to be in the air he breathed, but he couldn't grasp it.
Chi Xiaowan looked at the rain outside the window. She wanted to ask many questions, but she couldn't. What's the point of knowing the truth?
"Why don't you talk?" Sima sat down at the table and said gently, "We talked while eating. It's been a long time since we cooked these dishes. These dishes were originally Yi'er's favorite. Today when you came over, you suddenly remembered
I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare these dishes, but I don’t know if they still have the same taste as before.”
"Will you marry me?" Chi Xiaowan asked softly.
Sima was stunned and looked at Chi Xiaowan without answering.
"I don't want to know the truth, I just want to be with you." Chi Xiaowan's tears fell, her fingers intertwined gently, and she said slowly, "Where are you from, why are you here, you and Cong
Yi'er's story belongs to Sima Yixuan and has nothing to do with me. I only know that I like a person named Sima. I like to be with him and hope to become a part of him, even if I am really just Cong.
Yi'er's substitute is also willing."
Sima paused and said slowly: "I have something you don't understand. Marrying me is actually meaningless. To me, you may be just a concubine, a woman who is not even Yi'er's substitute.
, all the good feelings I have for you are just because of the similarity between you and Yi'er. What you can get may only be occasional physical pleasure, and my heart will only be reserved for Yi'er."
"I do." Chi Xiaowan raised her head and looked at Sima, and said quietly, "Nothing can compare to my love for you, even if I am just an object that temporarily relieves loneliness, and I am as humble as dust in front of you.
I am willing too. As long as I can guard you and see you."
"I will never love you." Sima stared at Chi Xiaowan, "I will never put you in my heart. All my kindness and kindness are just for Yi'er, not for you. Can you accept it calmly? In this kind of day,
In the years to come, we may only have the opportunity to sit down and talk when I am thinking of something and need someone to share my burdens with. Aren't you aggrieved?"
"How to accept it, whether you feel wronged or not, is my business. You don't have to mind. I only love Sima, not Sima Yixuan. I can't control whether you are Sima or Sima Yixuan, so I can't mind and I don't care.
I will mind, even if I do, I will mind in private, but being able to be with you is the best antidote to all my unhappiness." Chi Xiaowan said slowly, "I am willing to be with you,
Forever, for the rest of my life.”
Sima looked at Chi Xiaowan and said nothing for a long time. It took a long time before he slowly said, "Okay, if that's your greeting, I don't mind marrying you."
Chi Xiaowan shed tears and looked at the food on the table, quietly, happiness? Or sadness? It couldn't be seen in her at all, except for silence, there was only silence.
Mrs. Yu opened the door and saw Chi Xiaowan standing outside. She said happily: "Hey, it's Xiaowan. Why did you come to grandma's house so late? Come in quickly. Fortunately, the rain has lightened up. How did you come here?"
?Is it cold? Come in quickly, I see you don’t have much clothes on."
Chi Xiaowan walked into her grandmother's living room and listened to the sound of cars leaving outside. It was Gan Nan who sent her here. After having dinner with Sima at Yinxiang Restaurant, she shamelessly said that she wanted to marry him, and he agreed.
She felt so happy that she died and didn't think about anything. She didn't want to be unhappy. So what if she could be with Sima, no matter how hard it was?
"Come, have a cup of hot tea, good quality tea. This is the first time grandma has tasted it today." Mrs. Yu said with a smile.
"Yeah." Chi Xiaowan agreed, burying her body on the sofa and smelling the faint smell of laundry detergent left by grandma on the sofa after cleaning it, probably the smell of lemon, "Grandma, it's good for me to stay here tonight.
?”
"Okay, of course." Old Mrs. Yu said with a smile, "Among you sisters, grandma likes you the most. I don't know how happy grandma is that you live here."
Chi Xiaowan smiled softly, picked up the fruit on the table, ate it slowly, and then said, "Grandma, I'm getting married."
Mrs. Yu almost spit out her tea. She paused for a long time and then said, "What about Ouyang Qing? That kid is really stupid and blessed."
"No," Chi Xiaowan thought, if her mother knew that the person she was going to marry was Sima and not Ouyang Qing, would she 'eat' her? "It's Sima."
"Sima?" Mrs. Yu thought for a while, but had no impression. She seemed to have never seen him before. "Who is Sima? Why don't I have any impression? Why didn't you bring him to grandma's house so that grandma could meet him?"
"He is the owner of Yinxiang Restaurant." Chi Xiaowan thought, with this introduction, grandma might know that grandma is also a gourmet and likes to eat delicious food. The reputation of Yinxiang Restaurant should be better than that of any restaurant.
Be big.
"Yinxiang Restaurant?" Old Mrs. Yu said immediately, "I know, I know, the food in that restaurant is quite good. I once ate there with a few good sisters. It was quite good. He is the boss there. I
I've never seen it, but I vaguely heard it said that the boss there is an absolute diamond king. By the way, when you mention it, I also remembered one thing. Xiaohui once told me about it. She said
She likes it, by the way, this is Sima, she told me on the phone, haha, you two sisters have the same vision, but that girl Xiaohui is too impetuous and is not suitable for marriage at the moment, so it would be better for you, um,
That's fine. I'm eager to eat your wedding candy soon. I remember when you were just born, a friend who knew faces said, "You are destined to be a girl with stories. I believe her words. Unfortunately, now
, I haven’t seen you have any earth-shattering stories. I have been ordinary until now, like a volcano. I don’t know when it will erupt. Now, I am getting married. I am very excited, and I am marrying such a famous person. I will
Isn’t there going to be an earth-shattering story? Haha, grandma is waiting.”
"Grandma—" Chi Xiaowan looked at her grandmother helplessly.
"When are you going to get married? Have you discussed it with your parents?" Mrs. Yu asked cheerfully, "I guess based on your mother's character, she will like that boy Ouyang Qing, who is gentle and weak. She has liked this guy since she was a child.
Forget it, ignore her, it’s not like she’s getting married.”
"I haven't had time to tell my parents. You were the first to know. Mom likes Ouyang Qing and has always hoped that I could marry Ouyang Qing. If she knew that I was suddenly getting married, she would not approve of it.
Sima, my mother said that Sima is not a good husband candidate. She doesn't want me to marry. She wants me to marry Ouyang Qing and live a stable life. She will definitely be angry." Chi Xiaowan sighed and said, "I think
, if I go home and say, I am going to get married, to Sima, there will definitely be a commotion at home."
"It doesn't matter what they do." Old Mrs. Yu said unhappily, "It's you who are getting married, not them, so you can be happy. However, do you really like Sima and want to marry him?"
"Yes." Chi Xiaowan said immediately without thinking.
"That's fine. Just prepare for your marriage. Grandma will take care of those people for you. If anything happens, grandma will get in the way." Mrs. Yu said with a smile, "If your mother dares to be wordy, grandma will take care of it."
she."
Chi Xiaowan couldn't help but smile. Getting married was a good thing. She should be happy and not give herself the chance to be sad.
After taking a good hot bath, nestling in a warm bed, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, Chi Xiaowan let herself sleep peacefully all night at her grandma's house. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
