Chapter 127 Uneasy
Chapter 127 Uneasy
Your life is meaningless, and so is his...
People get used to killing, and the lives of those people become irrelevant to them.
What would happen if he were killed?
die?
Or hell?
He doesn't care; nothing matters to him.
Even what he's doing now is meaningless.
During the waiting period.
Slow and lingering.
Mo Jing, who had stayed in place, picked at the flowers again, one after another.
The once lush rose bushes are now largely barren, with bare branches and no flower buds left.
"My dear grandson, come with Grandpa."
Shen Jing looked around but didn't see Mo Jing following him.
"The people waiting outside have arrived."
He half-covered his mouth, his eyes constantly fixed on the commotion over there.
"I do not go."
Shen Jing became anxious when he heard that his granddaughter was not leaving.
“Listen to what Grandpa has to say.” He grabbed Shen Qingqing’s arm.
"The Second Prince is back. Before long, the capital will be in turmoil."
"My dear grandson, it's not safe for you to stay near that kid!"
He took a deep breath, then exhaled, his brow furrowed.
"You should listen to your grandfather."
Do you have family members who feel this way?
The old man in front of me, with his white hair, once upon a time, could carry me on his back and take her for a wild ride through the streets.
Now, I am quite old.
"grandfather."
Shen Qingqing called out softly, a smile on her face, as she broke free from those large, wrinkled hands.
"sorry."
“I am not your granddaughter; I have taken over this body.”
"So, you don't need to worry about me."
With trembling hands, before she could finish speaking, Shen Jing grabbed her arm again and started to walk out.
"I am not your granddaughter."
"I know. I've known it for a long time."
He repeated it over and over again.
The person next to him had suddenly changed his mind overnight, and his long-standing intuition told him at first glance.
But when he saw that small body and those eyes that didn't look like a child's, it was as if it had been abandoned all alone.
I wonder if his beloved grandson is also squatting on the ground alone, with no one to talk to.
Shen Qingqing shook off his arm. Since it had already been explained, there should be no further involvement.
She shouldn't have involved them.
Grandpa was, Father was, and Yan Li was too.
These things didn't belong to her, she kept telling herself, not to get emotionally involved.
"You may leave now."
With an indifferent gaze, Shen Qingqing turned away without leaving a single glance.
That's a bit disrespectful of you to an elderly person.
Leave me alone.
【. 】
"Good grandson."
Staring at the receding figure, the words I wanted to say stuck in my throat, and I couldn't utter a single one.
He was neither a good grandfather nor a good father.
He wiped his face and stood there for a long, long time.
-
When Shen Qingqing returned, Mo Jing was tearing off flower petals, tearing one off and throwing it away.
What is he doing?
Ignore him.
Okay, she was a bit harsh just now.
As soon as she appeared, Mo Jing raised his head.
"Aren't you leaving?"
This question was directed at Shen Qingqing.
"Where?"
"Leave me."
He straightened up and walked towards her step by step.
Why pick flowers?
She remembered that he was the one who grew these flowers, and he would always make her look at them for a long time.
As she walked to Shen Qingqing's side, she felt a weight on her shoulder.
Mo Jing leaned on her shoulder, his eyes closed, "Because I was worried."
"Are you worried that I'll leave?"
He didn't answer.
That's the reaction.
Mo Jing gave her a strange feeling; it wasn't love, nor was it familial affection, but rather an attraction.
That irresistible attraction.
She had no attachment to this world and was ready to give up everything, even her life, at any time.
Because this did not belong to her.
But she was never willing to refuse Mo Jing, just as he was to her.
"I won't leave."
"forever?"
"forever."
What if everyone abandons me?
"I will not abandon you."
Because I am just like you, lonely.
"it is good."
Xiao Lin and Xiao Cui in the distance.
"Where is Guard Li?"
"Miss sent me to see the master off."
Xiao Lin wiped the sword in his hand. This sword had killed countless people, and many people would stay far away from him if they saw him.
Wherever he is, there is this sword, and the person is destined to die.
However, he has been appearing much less frequently lately.
“Your young lady.” Xiao Lin glanced at the two of them.
At this moment, Shen Qingqing was holding Mo Jing's hand and bandaged his hands without caring about the blood on them.
He was muttering something under his breath.
"Don't do that again next time."
"why?"
She wiped the small wound, avoiding looking into Mo Jing's eyes.
“It hurts.”
"It won't hurt."
Shen Qingqing then looked up and stared at Mo Jing.
"Will do."
She knew it would hurt.
A feeling that is hard to describe, which can be categorized as sympathy.
Mo Jing lowered his head, avoiding looking at her, his ears turning red; he liked this feeling.
Does Qingqing treat herself like this whenever she gets hurt?
Xiao Cui knew their relationship better than anyone. She knew her mistress's temperament; she was indifferent to everything, but when it came to His Majesty.
The young lady seemed a little different, though it was hard to put into words.
"what?"
she asked.
Xiao Cui was puzzled by the sudden remark, as her young mistress was perfectly fine.
“It’s strange, but it’s just right.”
It's just right that I can be peacefully together with someone like His Majesty.
"what are you saying?"
Xiao Lin was talking to himself, and what he was saying was incomprehensible.
"It's nothing, hahaha."
Xiao Cui: What a strange person.
[Ding! Hidden storyline unlocked: assist the Second Prince, Mo Jinxuan, in ascending the throne.]
The bandaging motion paused.
[Hidden quests? You guys keep releasing one after another? Do you think I'm some free slave?]
[Host, you can't say that! Once the hidden mission is completed, this mission will be successfully concluded!]
[There are also extra rewards!]
Shen Qingqing continued what she was doing.
There's no need for that. I'm already tired enough. I'm not doing it.
[Ah! No, no, host!]
This hidden quest is a great thing; once you miss it, you never know when you'll encounter it again.
The host encountered such incredible good fortune, yet there was absolutely no reaction from him.
[No, thank you for the invitation.]
[You're not the host, listen to me.]
Xiao Lan was jumping around anxiously in the system space, completely losing her previous aloofness.
This hidden quest is very simple.
Why does this sentence sound so familiar? It's like I've heard it somewhere before.
Without the memories of the first three instances, Shen Qingqing naturally didn't remember how Xiao Lan tricked her into doing the quest.
How to do it?
She wanted to see just how simple it was.
Mo Jing sat obediently to one side, observing Shen Qingqing.
Qingqing is spacing out again.
Although there was no change in his movements, Mo Jing noticed.
Are you talking to that cat that keeps disappearing?
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He didn't like that cat; every time he saw it, he felt a surge of irritation.
It was a reminder to him: Qingqing doesn't belong to this world, and she will leave sooner or later.
This instability tormented him constantly.
It has become increasingly intense recently.
Steal Mo Jing's tiger tally and hand it over to Mo Jinxuan, and the mission will be complete!
Is it simple or not?
You're so smart.
"Yeah, I think so too."
