Chapter 130 Have you ever thought about going outside to help the refugees fleeing famine?
"Xiao Ji, come on, talk. Why don't you say anything?" The Zuo elder put down his chopsticks and urged.
"There's nothing much to say. I'm not familiar with her." Xiao Ji's voice was low and slightly hesitant.
He originally wanted to keep the secret, but a cold gaze made it difficult for him to continue.
"Not very familiar, that means you really know each other?" asked the Zuo elder in a low voice.
He was eager to know the young master's wife's family background. Her character was a problem, and it would be perfect if her family background was not a problem.
"I can only say I've seen her a few times. I remember at a flower viewing party, everyone said she was...very pretty."
Xiao Ji looked at the expectant eyes of the Zuo clan elder, and for some reason, he didn't dare to tell the truth.
"Hahaha... Our village chief's wife is indeed very beautiful. Come on and eat, boy." Seeing that Xiao Ji couldn't say anything, the Zuo elder didn't intend to ask any further questions.
"Okay." Xiao Ji's gaze drifted out the window. The white clouds were floating in the air, and the blue sky reflected the endless doubts in his heart.
At that time, the whole capital was buzzing with the news that the eldest daughter of the Lu family had fallen in love with the third son of the Zhennan Marquis's family.
In fact, at the flower-viewing banquet, everyone was scolding her. The Lu family's legitimate daughter was of high status, so why did she degenerate herself into liking a playboy?
Only his good friend, the eldest son of the Song family, did not scold her and even said that she was a poor girl.
It was said that her biological mother died early and her father married a stepmother. The pillow talk was the most deadly. Her biological father became her stepfather, so she could only live in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.
Furthermore, human hearts are biased. If people are not treated equally, their families will not be at peace.
Because his good friend stood up for her, he deliberately took a few more glances at the Lu family's eldest daughter.
At that time, she was not as dazzling as she is today. Her light seemed to be obscured by the trivialities of life.
Maybe this is what is called growth. Time has made her so confident and more charming.
Like dewdrops in the morning light, crystal clear, sparkling with an elusive brilliance, both beautiful and out of reach.
There was a hint of complexity in Xiao Ji's eyes, a kind of entanglement of admiration and confusion, and more of it was regret for his friend.
Seeing his expression, Gongxi Leqing could no wonder he misunderstood.
Gongxi Leqing saw Xiao Ji secretly looking at Leng Zhou's wife several times, with envy and regret in his eyes.
His eyes sparkled in the sunlight, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this beautiful impression in his heart.
So he came over and whispered a warning: "Xiao Ji, hurry up and eat. The village chief's wife is not someone you can covet."
Gongxi Leqing really admired Xiao Ji, so he warned him.
"Brother, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't dare to covet the village chief's wife. I just thought she was beautiful so I took a few more glances at her."
"Leng Zhou's wife is indeed like a fairy from a painting, but she is not something that ordinary people like you and me can dream of."
Gongxi Leqing's voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of joy, as he was happy for his friend.
"The elder Gongxi has misunderstood. I simply admired Madam's extraordinary beauty. There was no other intention."
"That's good. If you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, your life will be over!"
"It can be seen that the village chief likes his wife very much. I am not that stupid." Xiao Ji said in a low voice.
He didn't explain to Gongxi Leqing that he really didn't like her, he just felt sorry for his friend.
"Marriage is destined by heaven. People who originally had no connection become husband and wife. It's all God's will."
Gongxi Leqing's voice was filled with emotion, and his tone was full of amazement at the arrangement of fate.
He recalled the first time he met Song Zhuxin. It was a warm winter day, and the sun was particularly bright.
Yan Tianyou and Ning Zhongyi brought back the Huo family, and she was one of them. She was also very beautiful, and her laughter was as clear as a silver bell.
The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if time stood still and everything around them was eclipsed.
Only that heart-pounding feeling was engraved in his heart. Later, when he learned that she was married, he suppressed his emotions.
Today, I saw the complexity in Xiao Ji's eyes when he looked at Leng Zhou's wife, mixed with a hint of sadness.
He then remembered the memory that had long been buried deep in his heart, and her figure became increasingly blurred in his memory.
He had been attracted to her, but she had also taken the initiative to approach him on purpose. There was a star-like glint in her eyes as she looked at him.
Every time I looked at him with full of anticipation, as if he was the most handsome man in the world.
Anyone who is looked at with such eyes will be moved!
He stayed in the mountains for too long, and the beauty in his memory gradually became blurred. Her arrival awakened his dormant memory.
Especially when she gently raised her head and looked at him with affectionate eyes, a gentle warmth quietly blossomed in a corner of his heart.
At that moment, the dead memory suddenly awakened, and he thought she was the sweetness that he could touch.
But when he learned that she was married, he still tried his best to suppress that desire.
When he likes someone, he is particularly tolerant of Song Zhuxin.
He knew that she had a husband, so he would not blame her when she did something inappropriate in front of him.
When her lips approached, his heart would suddenly tighten, like a frightened deer, beating wildly and having nowhere to rest.
He wanted to refuse, wanted to say "We can't do this", but his words seemed to be strangled by the invisible attraction, making it difficult for him to utter them.
At the same time, another desire quietly grew in his heart, wanting to embrace her tenderness.
I want to indulge in her warmth and feel the happiness of intimacy.
But his moral bottom line prevented him from giving up, and every time that happened, she would angrily ask him if he was still a man.
The inner conflict was like a violent storm, making him feel at a loss, and it hung over his heart like a haze, keeping him awake at night.
No matter how hard he tried to calm himself down, the beautiful face and the pair of eyes sparkling with stars could not be erased from his mind.
Whenever he closed his eyes, trying to escape from the entanglement, her sweet smile always appeared in his mind, making his heart flutter.
Every night during that period, he tossed and turned in bed, his mind full of thoughts, but unable to dispel the struggle in his heart.
In the end, she arrogantly ordered the traitors of Mojia Village to beat him up, and there was no affection in her eyes anymore.
After being beaten up, he actually walked out!
The teenagers who were eating saw their young elders whispering with the captured criminals.
They would look at the village chief from time to time, and everyone wanted to know what they were talking about.
So everyone quietly approached Gongxi Leqing, and then they heard Xiao Ji ask.
"Gongxi elder, your village has enough water and food, but have you ever thought about going outside to help the refugees fleeing famine?"
