I was Idle and Cool Chapter 165: Stunned

In Lu Jinxi's impression, Xue Tingzhi was at the border when he was a child, and he lived with Xue Kuang and his biological mother, who was Hu Ji, and was brought back to the capital by Xue Kuang after he was five years old.

He is innocent as Orchid's biological mother.

As the son of Hu Ji and Xue Kuang, he is also innocent.

But the Lu family is also innocent.

In the final analysis, it was the emperor who slapped his head and issued an edict, which led to this tragedy.

Now that she mentioned his biological mother, Xue Tingzhi's reaction was really expected.

So Lu Jinxi didn't think about it when he saw that his expression was not quite right. Instead, he naturally thought of the emperor and the culprit of this series of tragedies.

She quietly withdrew her gaze, as if she didn't notice the faint depression and sadness on Xue Tingzhi's face, she just kept walking forward and changed the subject naturally: "I heard that the general's mansion is over there. , have already begun to kiss you?"

"...Yes."

The sudden change of topic was obviously beyond Xue Tingzhi's expectations. More unexpected, of course, was the turn of the topic itself.

Lu Jinxi nodded and asked, "Which girl are you talking about?"

"I heard that she is the young lady of the Lord Sun's family." Xue Tingzhi's tone suddenly became colder, "but Tingzhi didn't ask any more questions."

"Lord Sun, the governor of Shuntian?" Lu Jinxi suddenly became interested when he heard it, "If I remember correctly, the governor of Shuntian hasn't changed over the years, and Mrs. Sun's family is just a young lady who hasn't married yet. , I met him back then, called Sun Huihui..."

On the street, dusk has come.

The dark twilight covered the long streets, shrouding the capital in a bleak cold wind.

Xue Tingzhi didn't wear too much, and at this moment he felt a biting chill. He looked at Lu Jinxi, and his eyes fell on the exquisite tortoiseshell and begonia hairpin on her temples.

Lu Jinxi didn't realize it yet.

She just recalled that Sun Huihui at the time, and her eyes softened a little: "She is a very cute girl. If this marriage can happen, it is really suitable."

"Do you think she's fine?"

Xue Tingzhi's expression gradually became colder, and he didn't even have the honorific title of "Mrs.", but he said the word "you" straightly.

Lu Jinxi noticed this momentary change.

Because it's too obvious.

Even with an almost willful displeasure, he really wanted her to know that he wasn't happy.

Brows raised slightly, Lu Jinxi stopped again, but the smile on his face did not diminish, and his eyes that were as clear as ice and snow returned to him.

Not gentle this time.

On the contrary, it is full of a sharp scrutiny, and even a hint of sarcasm.

She replied Xue Tingzhi's very direct sentence: "I don't need to think, she is really good."

A simple sentence is like a simple and neat knife.

It was so easily wedged into Xue Tingzhi's heart, and a hole was stabbed in an instant.

And then suddenly became embarrassed.

There has always been such a subtle feeling between him and this former first-mother. It's just that neither he nor she has ever mentioned it clearly.

Just...

He chose to hide it, and she made it very clear that she rejected him.

It's been like this.

Xue Tingzhi felt that he should hate her.

Hate her thoroughness, hate her insight, hate her tactful, hate her for being likeable, hate that she never gets close to her when she leaves her sight...

All the complex emotions rolled over the rocky beach like a wave on the shore, and finally subsided in the cold crevice.

Xue Tingzhi's smile has a strange indifference.

He took a step back, looking unfamiliar and polite: "Since the first mother also feels good, then Tingzhi will marry her."

That's a really cool thing to say.

Lu Jinxi's brows furrowed, and his eyes were suddenly filled with undisguised displeasure. Just like when he was in the General's Mansion, he didn't even care about the name he suddenly changed back to.

"I think she's very good, but I didn't force you to marry her. If you don't like her, you should be careful about marriage, and don't delay the lifelong affairs of the girl's family."

"It's you who said she's good, and it's you who told me not to harm anyone." Xue Tingzhi gave an unprecedented sarcastic smile, and asked coldly, "Could it be that the lady above me thinks there is still room for me to object?"

“…”

Sharp, spicy and full of targeting.

This is what Lu Jinxi heard from his tone, but she just looked at him and didn't speak.

Xue Tingzhi suddenly felt that there was no need to accompany her or continue talking. He knew from the beginning that some of the most secret feelings were always delusions.

She knows, but she never responds.

From the moment when ghosts and gods followed her out, it was a single mistake.

Lowering his eyes, that bit of sarcasm disappeared perfectly, as if those sharp words didn't come out of his mouth, Xue Tingzhi bowed and said, "It's getting late, Tingzhi still has something to do. You have already remarried, and you have no blood relationship with Tingzhi. Lixia in Guatian has caused criticism. Tingzhi will leave first, and I hope you will forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Lu Jinxi didn't wait for Lu Jinxi to say anything, then turned around and walked to the other end of the street.

Lu Jinxi frowned and stood looking at him.

Although he has grown a lot over the years, perhaps because of the lengthening of the twilight, he still feels a little sickly tall and thin.

very tall.

It's just the slightly lame left foot, the only tiny flaw on the snow-white jade bib, which made his figure sway a bit more.

"Oedipus..."

Looking like this, Lu Jinxi suddenly murmured.

The wind chimes standing behind only heard her voice, but did not understand: "What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Lu Jinxi shook her head, only to say that Xue Tingzhi looked calm, but there were a lot of things inside.

Judging from what the old lady teacher Gu Chengqian had said to her in the past two years, he was someone who had a sword in his heart but couldn't hold back.

This sword is hidden in my heart, and sooner or later one day——

Hurts.

Or hurt yourself.

"Forget it, I won't continue shopping anymore. It's time for the eldest son to go back to the manor. Let's go back." She sighed softly, then turned around and wanted to go back.

I didn't think so, but when I turned around, I saw an unexpected person.

Suddenly surprised: "Old lady, why are you here?"

At the entrance of the alley a dozen paces away in front of the long street, at some point, Gu Chengqian's figure, with white hair, was still leaning on the crutches he took when he left the Grand Master's Mansion.

When Lu Jinxi called him, he didn't respond at all.

The whole person seems to have turned into a stone sculpture, standing there rigidly, with a wrinkled face, an unprecedented trance appeared!

He stared straight at the back of Lu Jinxi, at the swaying figure that had gradually disappeared...

It's like a terrible nightmare.

In a trance, I am a little bit unbelievable and a little confused!

"Master Taishi, Master Taishi?"

Looking at Gu Chengqian's expression, Lu Jinxi felt that something was wrong, so she hurried up and asked with some caution.

But Gu Chengqian stared at the direction in front of him, until he disappeared into the corner, and he didn't take his eyes back. He just asked in a voice that suddenly became difficult: "Who is he..."
