He shouldn't be nice to her anymore...
It's Qianyu who should be nice to her, not him.
But here he was, watching her cry in the heavy rain and feeling heartbroken...
"What are you doing now? Are you crying because you know Asaba betrayed you? Or is it because of what I just said?" Saito Hideki frowned lightly, remembering the way she sadly ran wildly in the heavy rain after being scolded by him, and then hearing what she just said to him, an idea that had never been formed suddenly jumped into her mind -
"Wu Dongmo, don't tell me that you are in love with me."
Hearing this, Wu Dongmo looked up at him in astonishment, completely unable to believe that he would say these words.
"Of course not!" She denied intuitively, even looking at his sinking face and those bottomless black eyes in horror.
Hearing her quick denial, Saito Hideki couldn't tell what the weird feeling was in his heart, relief?Or a sense of loss?
"Since it's not the case, don't act willful in front of me. I'm your eldest brother, not your husband. If I'm nice to you, just say thank you instead of asking me why I'm nice to you. Do you understand?" Saito Hideki extended his hand to her again."Get up quickly, don't lie on the ground like a child."
Wu Dongmo looked at him, still wanting to ignore him, but he was right. He was not her husband, but his eldest brother. What was she trying to do to him?What's the fuss about?She even asked rudely why she should be nice to her?
Wu Dongmo, don't tell me that you fall in love with me.
What he just said rang in my mind again, and my heart was shocked.
What she has never dared to face or admit...
Is this the fact that he said?
She fell in love with him?
She fell in love with Qianyu's eldest brother?
Wu Dongmo looked at Saito Hideki blankly and suddenly understood something, but this understanding made her heart go crazy and she didn't know what to do.
She was stunned, but Saito Hideki simply put the umbrella into her hand, bent down, picked her up directly from the waist, "Ah." She was startled and hugged him quickly.
Saito Hideki glanced at her lightly."Hold the umbrella, don't let me get caught in the rain."
Hearing the sound, she held the umbrella high and went to see him again.
"Don't ask me why I hug you, because your knee is injured and bleeding. I have absolutely no other special feelings for you, so don't worry."
She didn't ask, and he took the initiative to help her clear up her doubts, saving her from suspicion.
Just like that, on this rainy night, the two of them didn't speak anymore. She pillowed on the sound of his heartbeat all the way, and was carried back to her room with a blushing heart until her feet touched the ground.
"Remember to take care of the wound after taking a shower. If you really don't know how, just wake the girl up." After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
I wanted to call him to say something, but in the end I didn't speak. I just walked to the door and watched him leave. When I couldn't see him anymore, I still stayed there blankly for a while before closing the door.
After taking a bath and putting on a nightgown, Wu Dongmo sat on the bed and stared at the small wound on her knee. Then she gently applied the medicine on it, wrapped it in gauze and stuck it together. She curled up in the bed, turned off the light, closed her eyes, and wanted to sleep, but couldn't.
This night, she kept thinking about him——
Hideki Saito.
Chapter 10(1)
Early on the weekend morning, smoke started to burn in Saito's kitchen, and all the girls were busy in it, chewing their teeth while doing so. This was one of the joys of their lives.
"Have you heard? The second young master and the second young mistress were so sweet last night. Oh, I'm so jealous." The girl who was kneading the dough had flour on her nose, and her smile was bright.
"How sweet? Who saw it? How can people see the love between the two of them?"
"A certain girl accidentally saw it. Wasn't it raining heavily last night? It was so rainy that the girl got up and went to the toilet. She happened to see the second young master carrying the second young mistress and walking back to the room. It is the house where the second young lady lives. No one has been seen coming out for a long time."
"Really or not?"
"Of course it's true! How can you make such nonsense?"
"Even if it's true, it doesn't matter. We are newlyweds after all. How can we really stop others from loving each other? I said it's true, old man. Even if the second young lady is younger, it's easy to have children at this time. It would be great to have a grandson as soon as possible, don't you think?"
"No one said anything, they were just envious. The two of them were still so sweetly in love on a heavy rainy day. The second young mistress held an umbrella, and the second young master held the second young mistress while walking in the heavy rain... Wow, just thinking about it makes me very romantic!"
"Who says it isn't?"
"I think the Saito family will hear the baby crying soon."
The girls said and laughed softly.
It was a common topic for gossip, but when it reached Koko Yasumoto's ears later, it was like a bolt from the blue. She rushed into Saito Asaba's room regardless, grabbed him and beat him -
"Xiangzi, what are you doing?" Saito Asaha inexplicably stretched out his hand to grab the fist she was throwing at him randomly. The mood of neglecting her and feeling sorry for her in the past few days was almost broken by her.
"Tell me, do you not want me anymore?" Xiangzi Yasumoto cried angrily, but even when he grabbed her, she beat him on the chest.
"I didn't, but you know the current situation..."
"I don't know! I don't know! I don't know anything!" Yasumoto Xiangzi roared almost crazy."I only know that if you hugged me, you shouldn't hug other women...well..."
He covered her mouth and whispered nervously."Please keep your voice down. If the servants hear it, do you want us to die together? Also, who am I holding? Where on earth did you hear some nonsense and come to beat me up?"
"Well..." She wanted to speak, but her mouth was sealed.
"I'll let you go and you promise not to talk nonsense? Talk to me properly?"
She nodded again, and then Saito Asaha let go of the hand covering her and looked at her steadily."Tell me, what's going on?"
Koko Yasumoto recounted the gossip she heard from the girl, her beautiful eyes never moving away from Saito Asaha's face from the beginning to the end.
Saito Asayu's expression was very strange, his eyes were twinkling, and he couldn't tell whether he was laughing or angry. Instead, he asked questions."The girls said that I walked back to the main house in the west courtyard in the heavy rain with Dongmo in my arms in the middle of the night. I haven't seen anyone come out for a long time. Did she run to the door of my main house in the west courtyard and guard it? How long? Five minutes? Ten minutes? Half an hour? Or one hour? Are these stinky girls afraid that the world will not be in chaos? If you accidentally see it when passing by, you can compile a large article?"
"Is this important?" Xiangzi Yasumoto looked at him inexplicably.
Saito Asaha glanced at her and nodded."It's quite important. At least it's more important than whether I really carry Dong Su into the house."
Because that person is not him at all. If it is true, the person who entered the house with Dong Su in his arms is the eldest brother. Then how long he has been in the house and whether he has not come out for a long time is more important than anything else.
His wife and his eldest brother...
Although he obviously has no love for her, he still feels unhappy when hearing these rumors. Is it a man's possessiveness?This is really baffling!
[The impure description in this paragraph has been deleted, I am extremely sorry]
The relationship between the eldest brother and him and Dongmo is a secret. Even Xiangzi can't open it easily. Even if Xiangzi misunderstands it, he has to admit it.
Alas, telling one lie requires countless lies to cover it up. It is indeed true.
Saito Asaha looked at Koko Yasumoto and began to rant helplessly: "I just carried her into the house. She hurt her body trying to save me before and slipped in the heavy rain yesterday. As a husband, I carry my wife back to the room and take care of her. Is it worth your beating and questioning?"
Yasumoto Xiangzi's eyes were red, and tears fell again. When she asked him, her voice was still choked with sobs."Did you just carry her into the room? Didn't you do anything?"
It made him sigh again and again, and gently reached out to touch her face."No."
"But I don't even want you to carry her into the room!" She snuggled into his arms and cried."Obviously we two are in love, why do you have to marry her?"
"Xiangzi...haven't I told you this before? She is my savior..."
"Can the savior just hold you for the rest of his life? You don't love her! It's me you love! Don't you? You said you said -"
