After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Long before telling Si Jiu about this, Wen Baizhi could already imagine his reaction after knowing this.

Maybe he will cry, maybe he will make a fuss.

Maybe Si Jiu would really pretend not to care and let her go.

But what Wen Baizhi didn't expect was that Si Jiu would be like he is now, crying like a child and grabbing her sleeves to prevent her from leaving.

It was as if she was going to leave him the next moment.

In the past, in modern times, Wen Baizhi knew a word called:

Separation anxiety disorder.

Although she was not an expert in psychology, after such a long period of contact with Si Jiu, she had long noticed that Si Jiu had serious depression tendencies.

It is normal to have separation anxiety now.

He would regard her as everything, as a piece of driftwood in the ocean, and love her more than himself.

So it was normal for him not to let her leave.

but.

"Zijin," Wen Baizhi caught his flustered body, "Of course I don't want to leave you, I wish I could stick to you all the time, but the situation is different now. Chidu has sent people to investigate. When we go to Chidu again, the closer we are to Chidu, the harder it will be for me to leave. They will only increase their surveillance on us.

Besides, have you forgotten about Qi Yanan? Although what you said to him before can deceive him for a while, what should we do when he reacts? The whereabouts of a team are easy to be discovered, but if it is my whereabouts alone, it will be difficult to be discovered in this vast sea of ​​people.

Zijin, I must take back the Yunzhou team. For you and for myself, I must go on this trip. This task cannot be entrusted to anyone else, only I can go.

So Zijin, I know you will be reluctant to leave, and I am also reluctant to part with you, but you cannot go with me. You still have to lead this team and Shang Yao to reach Chidu safely. I can leave the team at will, but you can't."

Wen Baizhi gave many explanations one after another.

In fact, Si Jiu also knew the reason behind it, and he could even see it more thoroughly and deeply than Wen Baizhi.

But he just didn't know how to face her departure.

He had already lost Wen Bai once before.

At that time, losing Wen Bai almost made him go with him.

Fortunately, God had mercy on him and allowed him to meet Wen Baizhi again.

Today, he is no longer the bullied bastard in the Marquis' Mansion.

He had the ability and wealth to protect Wen Baizhi.

He couldn't let Wen Baizhi leave him for even a day.

"Baibai," Si Jiu finally spoke with a sob, his tears still dripping like pearls, one by one, "I know everything you said, but can you not leave? Or, I will send someone with your token to help you go to Yunzhou, or, can you wait until I send the princess to Chidu, and then I will go to Yunzhou with you? Baibai, I really don't want to leave you. Yunzhou has a complex terrain and changeable mountains and forests. I really don't want you to go to such a strange place alone, Baibai, Baibai..."

Si Jiu was in tears, and the way he held onto Wen Baizhi's sleeve and refused to let go made her feel heartbroken.

but……

"But Zijin, I have thought of these two methods, but neither is feasible.

Let’s not talk about the people my father left behind. If you let someone else take the token to find them, and they find out that the person is a fake, then they will be wary and won’t believe you even if the real Wen Bai comes to find you. What if you let them find the token?

Besides, you said that you could wait until you sent Shang Yao to Chidu before going to Yunzhou with me. Zijin, you also said that the weather and topography in Yunzhou are completely different from those in Kyoto or any other place you have been to.

Have you forgotten how my father and my elder brother died? They were harmed by the miasma there and died in the end. Zijin, your health is not good. Such a place is not suitable for you. Even if you want to go, I will not let you go. You don't want to leave me, so am I willing to watch you take risks?

It's not like I haven't been to Yunzhou before. I went there during the war and when I sent my father and his family there. I'm familiar with the place, but you're not. I can't bear to see you step into danger. Zijin, I know all your worries and reluctance, but you also have to take mine into consideration."

Perhaps because she had said too much, Wen Baizhi's tone at the end was obviously not as gentle as at the beginning, but rather more anxious.

She was also anxious.

She hoped that she could make Si Jiu understand with her own words.

But she forgot that Si Jiu had always followed her as his code of conduct.

The first principle of the code is unlimited dependence on her.

Si Jiu could figure out everything, but he just couldn't figure out why he had to leave Wen Baizhi.

But he was not a fool, so he could naturally hear the helplessness in Wen Baizhi's last words.

He let go of his hand in a daze, with disbelief and hurt in his eyes.

"Okay, I get it, Baibai, I know everything you said."

Si Jiu's tone was now much calmer than before.

Not as exciting as it was at the beginning.

But the tears still kept falling.

"I didn't think about it so much. I was only concerned about being with you. I didn't expect that the development of the situation would require you to leave temporarily. I, I just thought too superficially."

Tears flowed down Si Jiu's cheeks into his mouth, but he had no time to wipe them away.

He just kept repeating his apology stubbornly.

It was as if he was the person who had done the most wrong thing in the world at this moment.

Wen Baizhi tried several times to help him wipe his tears, but Si Jiu raised his hand to block her.

"Bai Bai, don't, don't come over here, I, I'm not very presentable right now."

Si Jiu despairingly discovered that at this moment he was just like the kind of unreasonable person who was only concerned with asking for things from the other party without considering the other party's thoughts at all.

He knew that what he was doing was wrong, and he was even worried that Wen Baizhi would dislike him.

But he just couldn't control himself, just like he couldn't control his tears at this moment.

"Zi Jin, Zi Jin, calm yourself down slowly. You can try to take a deep breath." Wen Baizhi naturally noticed his abnormality.

She also saw Si Jiu's hands shaking uncontrollably.

Her intuition told her that Si Jiu might be having a seizure at the moment.

"Zijin," Wen Baizhi coaxed him, finally getting close to him, "Don't push me away, you can't bear to leave, right? How can I not go over? You need me so much now."
