The official boat of the Ling family followed closely behind the official boat of the Imperial Grandson.

The shadow of the bandit’s night attack was still hanging over everyone’s minds, like a frightened bird, even a slight disturbance caused them to panic. It was peace of mind to follow the fleet of the Imperial Grandson.

Let’s set off together, sail together, and anchor together to rest.

When it was time to rest, Uncle Ling led Ling Ji to the Imperial Grandson’s boat to pay his respects. As for the female relatives, it was inconvenient to accompany them.

Ling Xiao was blind and couldn’t move, so he didn’t want to follow. He sat in Ling Jingshu’s room, not speaking, and didn’t know what he was thinking.

“Ah Xiao, what’s wrong with you?” Ling Jingshu asked with concern.

She was busy that day and her mind was wandering, and she spent half a day with Ling Jingyan in the afternoon. So she didn’t pay attention to Ling Xiao for some time. Until now, she didn’t notice Ling Xiao’s strangeness.

Ling Xiao squeezed out a smile: “It’s nothing, I’m fine.”

The smile was forced and ugly.

Where was this nothing, he was clearly preoccupied.

Because of his blindness, Ling Xiao seldom contacted outsiders, and his mind was also extremely sharp and delicate.

Ling Jingshu said softly: “Are you still thinking about what happened last night?”

Ling Xiao didn’t want to admit it at first, but he never lied in front of Ling Jingshu. So he hummed in a low voice after a while. He had grown up in the inner house, and he had never experienced such a dangerous and terrifying scene as last night’s.

Looking at Ling Xiao like this, Ling Jingshu’s heart tightened. She couldn’t help but step forward and hug Ling Xiao’s thin body: “Everything is over, stop thinking about it.”

Ling Xiao sullenly said “Ah Shu, I’m so useless. I can’t protect you at all; not only that in front of the bandit, I became a drag. I’m useless.”

When Ling Jingshu resolutely followed the bandit, he was extremely sad. He had never hated his blindness, weakness, and uselessness so much!

If he could see it, at least he could stand in front of Ah Shu! At least he couldn’t just watch Ah Shu being kidnapped and taken away. At least he can chase after Bai Yu without hesitation, and live and die with Ah Shu.

But he couldn’t do anything and tripped on the cold plank of the ship. Listening to Ah Shu’s footsteps going away, weeping weakly and helplessly…he was really useless!

He was a piece of trash!

Tears slipped from the corners of Ling Xiao’s eyes and dripped onto the back of Ling Jingshu’s hands, feeling a little cold for a while.

“How could you be a burden?” Ling Jingshu felt sore and distressed. She softly comforted: “Ah Xiao, in my heart, you are the best young man in the world, and also the gentlest and most considerate good brother.”

Ling Xiao didn’t speak, his shoulders shrugged slightly. Intermittent sobbing sounded from time to time.

Ling Jingshu sighed softly but didn’t say anything, and only gently patted Ling Xiao’s back.

He was in a gloomy mood, and it was a good thing that he was willing to confide and cry, it was better than being depressed in his heart.

……………………

She didn’t know how long it took before Ling Xiao’s crying gradually stopped.

Ling Jingshu wiped his tears with a handkerchief: “Are you feeling better now?”

Ling Xiao hummed a little embarrassedly. He was a young man now, still crying and wiping away his tears… Even in front of Ling Jingshu, who was closest to him, he felt a little shy.

“No one thought that such an accident would happen. Now that everything has been resolved safely and the matter is completely over, don’t think about it anymore.” Ling Jingshu said in a low voice: “You can’t see. There are many inconveniences. Wait for future treatment. Once your eyes are healed, it’s not too late to protect me.”

Ling Xiao nodded vigorously: “Ah Shu, I really want to go to the capital right away, see that imperial doctor Wei immediately, and beg him to heal my eyes immediately. “

Three immediately in a row amused Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu laughed softly and echoed in a tone like coaxing a child: “Yes, yes, we will arrive in the capital soon. Then go to Huichuntang to seek medical treatment from Imperial Physician Wei. As long as your eyes can be cured, it doesn’t matter how much money is spent, it is worth it.”

Ling Xiao protested with some displeasure: “Ah Shu, I am only a few hours younger than you and about the same age as you. Don’t always treat me like a child, okay? “

Look at this temper, it was clearly a child who hasn’t grown up yet!

Ling Jingshu smiled and continued to coax: “Okay, okay.”

“It’s all my fault, I should have treated you as an adult long ago. You are already fourteen years old. In a year or two, you should get married and have children. How can you still be a child? “

Ling Xiao: “…”

The beautiful and fair face flushed instantly.

Ling Jingshu couldn’t help laughing but secretly sighed in her heart.

In her previous life, Ling Xiao had an engagement. But before getting married, Madam Li murdered Ling Xiao. Poor Ling Xiao, died in the best years of his life before he could get married and have children.

What she said just now was half a joke, but the other half was a sigh from the bottom of her heart.

She planned not to marry and have a child in this lifetime. She only hoped that Ling Xiao can marry a wife and have children like ordinary people, and live happily ever after.

It took Ling Xiao a long time to hold back a sentence: “I don’t want to get married early. After my eyes are healed, I still have to study to gain fame. In the future, I will choose a good husband for you. After you get married, I will get married. “

Ling Jingshu half-truthfully said: “I will never marry in my life, so you don’t have to worry about me.” “

Ling Xiao’s reaction was unexpectedly sharp, and he immediately frowned: “Ah Shu, are you hiding something from me? “

“Of course not. “Ling Jingshu denied it without thinking.

Her rebuttal was too quick!

On the contrary, it showed that she was trying to cover up something.

Ling Xiao’s eyes were blank and out of focus, but he looked over accurately: “Ah Shu, we are brothers and sisters of the same mother. You take pity on me and take care of me everywhere. My mood is the same as yours. I also I hope to be your reliance, maybe I can’t do anything now, but at least I can share some of your worries.”

“Don’t always treat me like a child, I’ve grown up. Don’t keep everything hidden from me.”

Ling Jingshu hid her thoughts very well, and Ling Jingyan and others who accompanied her day and night were all concealed from the past. But how could she hide it from Ling Xiao, who had a tacit understanding with her?

Ling Xiao didn’t ask any questions because of his thoughtfulness and tolerance.

Ling Jingshu looked at the face that was almost similar to hers and suddenly felt an impulse in her heart.

Tell Ling Xiao everything!

Even though there were so many people who had betrayed and hurt her. But Ling Xiao would never turn his back on her.

Carrying a heavy and dark past and hatred, it was like a huge boulder weighing heavily on her heart. Like a fishbone stuck in a throat, it was difficult to sleep or eat, and to think day and night. If someone could share her worries with her, maybe she can relax…

The words came to her lips, but they turned into nonchalant perfunctory: “Ah Xiao, how can I hide something from you?”

Let her bear that heart-wrenching pain all alone!

A trace of disappointment quickly flashed across Ling Xiao’s face, but he didn’t ask further.

Ah Shu had a secret and refused to tell him, she must be afraid that he will worry about it! He had to grow up and become strong as soon as possible so that he can become Ah Shu’s support.
