Chapter 160 Feeling guilty and shameless
He leaned sideways and gently placed his left hand on her waist, very quiet. Jiang Chengjia quietly turned around and stared at him, a little lost. After not seeing him for many days, Ning Nanyou seemed to be much haggard. I think it was because there were many things to deal with in this county town that he was so tired.
Thinking of this, the night of quarrel with him reappeared in her mind, and guilt arose in her heart. It was her who clearly didn't understand the truth, but she just accused Ning Nanyou of his faults and belittled him to nothing.
She lowered her eyes, her mood was a little depressed, and she stopped for a while, preparing to get up, but was afraid of waking up the person who was sleeping deep beside her. So she gently and carefully raised his left hand that was placed on her waist, and was about to put it down when she saw a scab in the center of his left palm and a scarlet scar appeared from the palm of his palm, and his heart trembled suddenly.
Jiang Chengjia couldn't remember when he was injured. She thought it was an accidental injury in the battle between Linhe. Looking at the extremely long scar, she felt even more sad. These days, she was just angry with him and didn't care about anything else.
She carefully touched the scar in his palm, her eyes roaring. Such a deep scar and scab shell must have been very painful when he was injured. Jiang Chengjia was very upset and complained that she had fought with him for so long because of her anger and preconceived thoughts. She still felt that he was unreasonable. At present, she seemed even more unreasonable and too paranoid.
She was stunned and dazed, not realizing that the person beside her gradually woke up.
Ning Nanyou slept this time as the most stable and comfortable time in the past half month. When he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw the little girl beside him holding his left hand and staring at the scars in his palm. He smiled, squeezed to the little girl, and whispered in her ear: "Are you awake?"
Jiang Chengjia was full of messy thoughts, and before he knew it, he was immersed in his mind. His question suddenly came from his ears, and then he woke up and looked at him with a daze.
He raised the corners of his mouth gently and asked softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Jiang Chengjia shook his head obediently and did not speak.
"Does the wound on your back still hurt?" he continued.
The little girl looked at him with slightly moist eyes. The light in the gauze tent was too dark. Ning Nanyou didn't notice the hot tears in her eyes. He gently rubbed her head and said, "Why don't you speak?"
Jiang Chengjia became emotional and was a little reluctant to speak, but she still responded to him: "It doesn't hurt."
Ning Nanyou looked at her huddled in the corner, and seemed to be afraid to approach him, as if she was worried about something. Her face became a little darker. Thinking of the big quarrel more than ten days ago, she felt quite uncomfortable. He calmed down, but his face was still stiff. Somehow he felt a little aggrieved in his heart, and he murmured in a low voice: "Come here."
He opened his arms to her, his tone closer to the command.
I thought this little girl would definitely be against him like before, but she didn't expect that she would move towards him very obediently, lay in his arms, and gently wrapped her slender arms around his waist.
Ning Nanyou was a little unexpected, and he opened his arms in a daze. Smelling the fragrance of medicine on her body, he calmed down, hugged her carefully, and then sighed softly.
It was really rare for him to see her so well-behaved. In the past two months, his relationship with her has been getting better and worse, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, so Jiang Chengjia's attitude towards him has also changed a lot.
"Last night, it was so heavy rain, why did you run out?" Ning Nanyou asked softly, the thick magnetic sound filled with temperature. The warmth flowed into Jiang Chengjia's heart.
Her face turned red, a little embarrassed, and she didn't know where to speak. She couldn't say it... Because she learned the truth yesterday, she felt that she had no idea. She just listened to the wind and rain. She only recognized what she saw with her own eyes. She was blinded by illusions and was unwilling to find out the truth, and she didn't want to believe him. So she felt guilty and couldn't bear the sourness. She couldn't wait to see him, want to explain to him, and want to apologize to him?
She didn't know how to say this to him, and she was not embarrassed to say it. She always felt that it was very stiff and sour.
"Just... I wanted to find Qianshan, so I went out. Who knew it was raining and I met you?" After a long time of boredom, she thought of a bad reason and explained.
Ning Nanyou knew she was talking nonsense. She was standing on the gravel road to his study last night, and it was completely different from the west courtyard. She should have wanted to find him last night, but now she is concealing that she doesn't want to tell the truth, and she still blames him.
"Next time before going out, check the weather first. Don't get wet and have a high fever like yesterday. If Qianshan and I are not by your side, who will take care of you?" Ning Nanyou followed her words, and didn't want to ask more, and gave a soft advice.
"Yeah. I understand." Jiang Chengjia replied in a low voice.
He asked today, and the little girl answered obediently, which was surprisingly gentle. This made Ning Nanyou ask curiously: "Why are you different from me quarrel today?"
Jiang Chengjia's nose felt sour, and he buried his face in his chest without saying a word.
Ning Nanyou lowered his head to look at her, and saw that she was closing her eyes tightly, her thick eyelashes were trembling violently, and a tear gushed out of the corners of her eyes, which slid down her cheeks.
Seeing her crying, Ning Nanyou was so worried that he coaxed her in a panic: "Why did you suddenly cry?"
The little girl remained silent, and a coldness gradually spread in his heart. He endured the loss and his face gradually faded, "Are you still blaming me? Mother blames me too... Do you blame me too? Do you know... I have to... When I arrange everything, when the matter is over, will I explain it to you? I promise you that I will definitely tell you what happened..."
He couldn't help but say this unconsciously. After awakening, he was stunned and asked in his mind what he was saying. He had already agreed to Lu Xun and Zhou Yuanmo, and even told Uncle Ji that he would not go to find her, set foot in the North Courtyard, and listen to her news. Before he could avenge his great revenge, he would never delay his progress because of anyone.
But now, not only was he in the North Courtyard, he also hugged Jiang Chengjia so greedily and said this without counting. He subconsciously refused to let her misunderstand him, and a desire arose in his heart. Perhaps he could let go of everything and stay with her now, and live a warm life that only existed in his imagination.
These thoughts passed by his mind, making his heart restless. But when the scene of Lu Yu's execution flashed through his mind, and when the news that General Yue had no body was heard, he saw that more than 10,000 Chang Mengjun soldiers who were framed in the capital were pierced by spears, and died like a tragic scene. Those thoughts of giving up hatred and living a stable life immediately disappeared.
He quietly let go of her, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became bitter.
"If you... really don't want to see me, you don't have to be so silent... You blame me... I know. Forget it... I'll leave." He slowly stood up and prepared to stay.
As soon as he got up, Jiang Chengjia hugged him from behind without hesitation, muttering to himself: "I'm sorry."
The thin and weak arms tightly wrapped around his waist, causing Ning Nanyou to pause his eyes, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly raised his breath in his heart, locked his eyebrows and said in confusion: "What are you sorry?"
"Nothing..." Jiang Chengjia realized his mistake and hid it indiscriminately.
Ning Nanyou was a little disappointed, but more of it was helpless.
"Zhaoyuan, can you have a breakfast with me?" She racked her brains to keep him, but she didn't know what excuses to make, so she made up a clumsy reason and said, "I have no appetite these days..."
He was a little amused and said, "What? If I eat with you, you will have an appetite?"
Jiang Chengjia wanted to make up, but was afraid that Ning Nanyou would be angry with him, so he coaxed him tremblingly: "If you accompany me, I will have an appetite."
This faint and unknown volume scratched his heart, and for no reason a feeling of joy came out. A heart that had just been baptized by a memory of defeat was softened into a pool. He turned his body without saying a word, grabbed Jiang Chengjia, who was lying behind him, and hugged him in his arms. When he looked down, he saw her staring at him with expectant face, but he didn't dare to force him, so he could only sigh: "Okay. I'll have breakfast with you."
In this helpless tone, there was helplessness and full of pampering at her, and he didn't even notice it himself.
Seeing that he agreed, Jiang Chengjia was excited, and sat up from his arms, kissed him hard on his cheek, happily jumped off the bed like a child, found his shoes, changed his clothes randomly, and ran out happily.
"What are you going to do?" Ning Nanyou saw her running out and immediately worried that she would pull the wound behind her, so he asked anxiously.
Jiang Chengjia said without looking back: "I'm going to make breakfast, I haven't been to the East Kitchen for a long time."
Looking at her jumping figure, Ning Nanyou was also confused while sitting in the room. The little girl was still angry with herself. Why did she hope that she would stay like this now?
He was confused, and the unknown sweetness in his heart became clearer.
Ning Nanyou frowned slightly, and was also confused by the feelings in his heart. He married the Jiang girl, his feelings for her were more like looking for the only warmth in the darkness, and seemed to regard her as a family member, but he always reminded himself that he should not give up his previous struggles and efforts because of such a temporary comfort. Now, he seems to regard Jiang Chengjia as an existence like Uncle Ji and Aunt Biyun, and is greedy for her concern for herself. He obviously pampered and loved her like a sister, but he felt a little more strange feeling in his heart.
