Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 400: Longing for Love (14)

Fu Shiqi gathered up the things on the flat ground outside, called back the four horses, and put reins on them.

After he entered the house, Ji Xiao, who was reading a book, said to him, "Qi Qi, you drive the car today, and we will get to the next town as soon as possible."

"Okay, do you have a destination?"

"No, let them find a place to live. Animals are more sensitive to smells."

"Yeah." He nodded, picked up a book and walked out.

After Fu Shiqi left, Xiang Liu asked, "Mom, why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you always walking slowly?"

"Because we have a sick sister at home now. We need to settle down in the town as soon as possible. It's not good to take her outside all the time. She needs friends."

"Then why should I wander around with them? I don't have any friends!"

"Because you are a boy, you need to grow up and experience. Moreover, you are a child raised by your parents, while your sister is not. Besides, are you sure you need friends? It's not like we haven't lived in the city before. After so many years, don't you still have no friends?"

"Well, I don't need it. Ordinary friends have too short a life. Besides, it's not that I don't want to make friends. I just haven't met the right friends. What's more, I only like one person.

Then my sister doesn't need to go through training? Didn't you say that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you must have enough ability to protect yourself and the people you want to protect! "

"But I didn't say my sister doesn't need experience! I just said that my sister needs a stable residence and life, and to make the right friends."

"All right!"

"Also, you are about 15 or 6 years old now. Once you settle down, you can decide whether you want to continue being a constable like your father, or do something else."

"Then let me think about it!"

After that, the two of them became quiet and did their own things. Ji Xiao was reading the new gossip and Xiang Liu was carving jade.

Fu Shiqi drove the carriage and finally arrived at the nearest town after dark, but it was getting late, so he did not drive into the city.

Instead, they found a flat open space to stop. At night, Xiangliu was so engrossed in the jade carving in his hands that he didn't remember to cook.

Ji Xiao simply didn't want to do it, and Fu Shiqi was too busy catching the bus to do it, but fortunately he still had the things he had made previously in his space.

After he entered the house, he took them out and placed them on the dining table one by one. The food was still hot.

After setting the table, he called the two of them to come and eat.

……

That night, they went to bed early.

After Ji Xiao went upstairs, she went to check on the girl who was still sleeping. After seeing her breathing become steady and her face gradually becoming rosy, she went back to her room to rest with peace of mind.

After Fu Shiqi arrived at the door, he did not follow in, because there was a girl living inside and it would not be appropriate for him to go in.

Just like Xiangliu is older now, Ji Xiao will not go in casually, so it is still inappropriate to say that.

After a peaceful night, at dawn the next day, as the bright sunlight shone into the house, Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi woke up one after another on the bed.

After a simple wash and grooming, Ji Xiao changed into a long gown with a water cloud satin floral pattern and gold inlay, and Fu Shiqi also changed into a set of clothes from the same series.

The two walked out of the room. At the stairs, Ji Xiao said to Fu Shiqi, "You go down first. I'll go to the next door to take a look."

"Yeah." He nodded and turned to go downstairs.

Ji Xiao opened the door of the next bedroom and walked in. Just then, the little girl who was still asleep heard the two people talking.

Then there was the sound of Ji Xiao opening the door. She opened her eyes and woke up, but she was still in a daze and had not fully awakened.

When Ji Xiao entered the room, she saw her sitting on the edge of the bed in confusion, looking at everything around her.

Ji Xiao came in front of her, lowered her voice and asked gently, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

"Hello! Thank you for saving me. I am not feeling unwell anywhere now."

She sat stiffly on the edge of the bed and looked at Ji Xiao. Then she was about to stand up and thank her properly, but Ji Xiao held her down and she couldn't stand up.

Ji Xiao smiled and asked, "You're welcome. Can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Jiuyao, you can also call me Xiaoyao." Xiaoyao looked at Ji Xiao blankly and replied subconsciously.

She looked at Ji Xiao, who had a gentle temperament but a charming face, and spoke to her gently with a smile, and she felt as if she was talking to her own mother.

Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall, and she looked at Ji Xiao pitifully.

Seeing her like this, Ji Xiao instantly became nervous and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No, I just feel like you are my mother." Xiao Yao shook her head and replied.

Ji Xiao sat down next to her, put his arms around her shoulders, and pulled her against him.

"It's okay, you can call me mom too. You see, we can meet in such a vast sea of ​​people, which proves that we are destined to meet each other."

Xiao Yao raised his head from her arms and asked uncertainly: "Is that so? But I have met many people before, they..."

Ji Xiao looked down at her frowning brows and knew that it was not a good memory. Before she could finish, she interrupted:

"They are them, I am me, people are different, so you can try to trust us."

"Us? Is there anyone else?" she asked with a vigilant and puzzled look on her face.

"Yes, we have a brother who is older than you in our family, and my husband, you can also call him daddy, they will all like you."

"But I..."

"It's okay, take your time. You can't call it now because we are not familiar with each other. You will know it when you are familiar with each other."

"I…"

"Okay, I know everything. We will protect you from now on. Your task now is to take care of your body. After you are well, I will teach you skills and teach you everything I can.

Now, let's get dressed and go downstairs!"

Ji Xiao looked out the window and heard various sounds coming from outside, and she knew where she was.

"Your father has already driven into the city." Ji Xiao said as she took out a gradient pink butterfly pattern skirt from the space and handed it to her.

"I hurriedly made these yesterday afternoon. You can wear them for now. Once you're settled, I'll have someone make new ones for you."

She made all of this yesterday afternoon, and she made several sets of them, both inside and outside.

Xiaoyao looked at her, then took the clothes with both hands, "Thank you."

Ji Xiao touched her head and said, "We are a family, so there is no need to be so polite. You change first and I will tie your hair for you."

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded with red eyes.
