After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong
Chapter 25 Bai Zhi drowns her sorrows in wine
Wen Baizhi was in a low mood when she returned to the Governor's Mansion.
It was a happy thing to meet two old friends today, but everything was based on the fact that she was no longer Wen Bai, but had a new identity.
So she couldn't be happy no matter what.
Instead, there is an indescribable sense of loss.
Si Jiu rushed back early today. When he learned that Wen Baizhi had not returned yet, he felt inexplicably nervous and uneasy.
It made my stomach, which had been aching all day, even more unbearable.
But soon, peace came and Wen Baizhi returned with Cuizhi.
Si Jiu stood up excitedly, feeling dizzy and barely able to stand by holding on to the table.
Ping An came over nervously.
Si Jiu waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. "Go to the kitchen to see if the food prepared for Madam is ready. If it is ready, send it directly to Madam's room. Then go to a teahouse. I think you can only eat some cakes and other things, which will definitely not be enough to fill you up."
Ping An replied, "The kitchen has already prepared the dishes according to your instructions. I will go and take a look."
After Ping An left, Si Jiu also went to Wen Baizhi's room.
Inside the room, Wen Baizhi was sitting at the table with lifeless eyes.
When Cuizhi saw her like this, she was worried but didn't know how to start.
It was at this moment that Si Jiu arrived here.
When Cuizhi opened the door and saw Sijiu, she felt like she had seen a savior.
Si Jiu was a little confused: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Wen Baizhi didn't notice Si Jiu outside the door.
Therefore, Cuizhi lowered her voice and said, "You may not know, Governor, today the young lady and I went out for a walk, and after we came back, the young lady was so absent-minded that she didn't even call for dinner."
If Wen Baizhi couldn't even eat, then something really bad had happened.
Si Jiu walked in quickly, wanting to check on her condition.
When Si Jiu came to her side with a slight breath, Wen Baizhi realized that he was here.
"Si Jiu?" Wen Baizhi's eyes regained their light from the emptiness just now, "Why did you come here at this time?"
Si Jiu saw that her expression was a little lost, not as enthusiastic as before, but her face looked fine, so she probably wasn't hurt anywhere, so he gradually felt relieved.
"We agreed before that we would have dinner together when we got back, so I came straight here. I hope Miss Wen won't blame me for being too abrupt."
He was explaining while still standing there without sitting down.
Wen Baizhi had just been thinking about her old friend and was feeling a little anxious. But when she saw Si Jiu, who was also an old friend, she unconsciously slowly got rid of her previous depressed mood.
She pulled out a chair and said, "Come sit down, Cuizhi, and go to the kitchen to see what delicious food we have tonight."
Just as Cuizhi agreed and was about to go out, she saw Ping'an coming with three or five people.
"Ma'am, I've brought all the food over."
As soon as Wen Baizhi saw the delicious food, the last bit of melancholy she had left disappeared.
"I'm really hungry. Show me what to eat tonight."
Cuizhi was serving the dishes with a smile. She was used to seeing her young lady smiling, so it was hard to get used to her seeing her young lady being so serious for a moment.
As usual, once everything was arranged, everyone else left.
Si Jiu and the other person were left alone in the room.
Si Jiu first scooped a bowl of tofu and shrimp soup and handed it to Wen Baizhi.
Wen Baizhi took the bowl and just after taking a sip, she couldn't stop praising: "It's really delicious, so delicious."
Seeing her like this, Si Jiu scooped a bowl for himself as well.
Although he couldn't taste the freshness, he was drinking the same thing as her, so the feeling in his heart was different from before.
After eating half a bowl of rice, Wen Baizhi realized that Si Jiu's arrival at this time was really a coincidence.
I had just returned and in less than a cup of tea he was here.
After that, he kept looking at me with a nervous look, as if he was worried about me.
But what did she have to worry about?
She was not someone who could keep secrets, so she asked, "You didn't come here just to have dinner with me tonight, did you?"
Si Jiu knew that she was always smart: "There is indeed more than one thing. Miss Wen is so smart, can you guess it?"
Wen Baizhi took a bite of green vegetables and said, "I won't guess. There's no reward for guessing correctly, so I won't guess."
Si Jiu raised the corner of his mouth: "How do you know there is no reward for guessing correctly?"
Wen Baizhi became interested and her eyes lit up: "Is there really a reward?"
Si Jiu looked at her with a smile and nodded.
Wen Baizhi said excitedly: "Let me guess, when all things and people remain unchanged, the change that occurs is often the reason."
She pretended to be mysterious and said, "I have been staying in this yard for the past few days since I came here. Today was the first time I went out, so I thought it must be because I went out that you came to find me so anxiously."
"But I'm just going out, not becoming a monk. I'll be back no matter how late it is. But you're still so anxious, which means you must be worried that I won't come back at night. After hearing the news that I'm back, you rushed over to confirm it. That's why you were breathing so fast after you got here just now."
Seeing that she had guessed so correctly, Si Jiu blushed and said, "Ms. Wen is really smart. You guessed it exactly right."
Wen Baizhi's face was filled with pride: "Of course not, well, now that you said I guessed it right, I want my reward now."
Si Jiu's eyes seemed to be covered by a veil: "What reward does Miss Wen want?"
Wen Baizhi didn't hesitate at all and said, "I want to drink tonight."
"Drink?" Si Jiu asked, "Is this the reward you want?"
Wen Baizhi nodded, her eyes filled with the previous sadness again: "I know you have a bad stomach, so I won't let you drink. I just want you to accompany me when I drink."
Si Jiu asked worriedly, "Miss Wen, are you in a bad mood today?"
Wen Baizhi pointed at her face: "Me? Is it that obvious?"
Si Jiu motioned her to look at the food in front of her: "Miss Wen only ate less than a bowl of rice today."
Wen Baizhi burst out laughing: "So you figured it out from here, then you are very smart."
Si Jiu looked at her: "So something bad happened today, making you sad?"
Wen Baizhi sighed softly: "Bring the wine, I should be able to say it with the help of the wine."
When the wine came, there was only one wine cup.
Wen Baizhi poured herself a cup: "It's not that I'm stingy and won't give you a drink, it's that you can't drink it, just watch me drink it."
Si Jiu naturally would not have any objection.
After drinking this glass of wine, Wen Baizhi felt a warm current flowing up from her abdomen.
This body is not my former self after all.
In the past, I could claim that I could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and most people could not drink as much as I could.
But now, now everything is different.
Wen Baizhi's eyes were a little hazy from drinking.
Si Jiu was worried that she might get drunk all of a sudden: "Miss Wen, are you okay?"
Wen Baizhi heard Si Jiu's voice and slowly turned her gaze to his face.
Three years have passed, and after her rebirth, only Si Jiu is still by her side.
All the sadness of today intertwined at this moment, and for no reason, it formed a circle on Si Jiu's face.
Wen Baizhi leaned forward and hugged Si Jiu's neck.
"I thought I was fine," she said with a breath of fresh air, "I thought I could live happily as long as I slowly forgot the past, but I found that I couldn't. I still care about the past, and I care even more that no one remembers me and no one knows me."
