After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Of course, this was also the first time that Wen Baizhi knew that Si Jiu had had such an experience with his sense of taste.

But she didn't hear him say that when she was with Si Jiu last night.

She didn't even know that Si Jiu had actually had his taste buds treated.

It seemed like he was very worried that he would be disappointed, so he generously gave her more hope.

Even the consequences of the previous failure are still hard for Rong Heng to forget to this day.

But Si Jiu just couldn't bear to let Wen Baizhi carry such a stone.

He always made her feel so sad.

After Rong Heng and I had made the preliminary decision on this matter, Cuizhi's porridge was ready.

She and Rong Heng both felt that now was not the best time to treat Si Jiu's sense of taste.

After all, they will be going to Yunzhou soon.

Before that, Princess Shang Yao must be sent to the Chidu Kingdom.

Everything here requires Si Jiu to speak and mediate.

He couldn't afford the consequences of failure that might lead to aphasia at this moment.

So we have to find the most appropriate time to do this.

Wen Baizhi is not in a hurry, she can wait slowly.

When people have hope, waiting is the best.

When she returned to her carriage with the porridge, Si Jiu was awake waiting for her to come back.

Just like Si Jiu now, he was also waiting for Wen Baizhi's return with hope.

Because he knew she would come back, he would wait.

He would wait no matter how long it took.

"Why did you come back just now?" Si Jiu had been waiting for a while and was a little angry now.

The first thing Wen Baizhi did when she came back was to kiss his forehead: "I talked to Rong Heng for a few words."

As soon as she mentioned that she had talked to Rong Heng, Si Jiu knew that she must know about his previous failed treatment of taste.

"Did Rong Heng tell you everything?"

Wen Baizhi was still playing dumb: "What did you say?"

Si Jiu lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at her: "I have tried to treat my sense of taste before, but it failed."

Wen Baizhi pretended to be enlightened after hearing what he said: "Oh, I really didn't know about this. Have you treated your sense of taste before? How did it fail?"

Her exaggerated and contrived acting made Si Jiu laugh: "Okay, stop pretending. I know you must have known. Rong Heng is a loose man. He must have told you about this."

Wen Baizhi defended Rong Heng and said, "You can't slander Rong Heng. He only speaks according to the person. If I were not your wife, not your closest person, he would not tell me a word about you. You don't even know that when I first married you, Rong Heng really didn't tell me a word."

They still remember that memory.

It hasn't even been a year, but it feels like a long time has passed.

"I know Rong Heng's character, and I have always trusted him." Si Jiu raised his head and looked at Wen Baizhi. "I really didn't know how to tell you at that time. I was afraid that you would be disappointed if you knew that I had failed before, and that you would feel that asking me to treat your taste buds would be a burden to you, Baibai. Because I know you are doing this for my own good, I can't bear to see you feel even a little disappointed or guilty. Do you understand?"

This was almost what Si Sijiu really thought.

He can bear any bad consequences.

But he couldn't bear to see Wen Baizhi being affected in the slightest.

How could Wen Baizhi not know this? She held Si Jiu's chin with her fingers and lifted his face and chin to her level.

"I know everything, Zijin. I'm just worried that you might be afraid of this. After all, it's your own body. Whether it's the treatment process or the final result, we outsiders can't take any responsibility for you. So don't worry that I will feel burdened. I've always been most worried about you."

From ancient times to the present, patients have borne the most.

There are risks, psychological pressure and burdens as well.

But when it came to Si Jiu, he didn't care about his own feelings at all. All he could think about was hoping that Wen Baizhi would feel better.

It's really pitiful.

“But I have already agreed with Rong Heng that now is not the best time to treat your taste ailment. It is true that we both believe in Rong Heng’s medical skills and that he can cure you, but we must also be prepared for the consequences of failure.

We will arrive in Chidu soon, you can't keep silent, right? You will go to Yunzhou with me soon, and your body may not be able to withstand the climate of Yunzhou. If you can't speak by then, and can't even express your pain, how depressing it would be, right?

So now is not a good time for you to cure your taste buds. You may have to wait until we return from Yunzhou."

Wen Baizhi said so much, but Si Jiu only heard that one sentence.

Go to Yunzhou with her.

He silently rubbed his chin in Wen Baizhi's palm like a kitten: "You said you would take me to Yunzhou, right?"

Wen Baizhi didn't expect that after she said so much, Si Jiu seemed to have only heard this one sentence.

"Yes, didn't I promise you that I would take you to Yunzhou? After we send Shang Yao to Chidu, we can find a chance to go to Yunzhou together. Anyway, we will definitely not return to Kyoto. No matter how powerful Qi Yan'an is, I don't believe he can find us in Yunzhou's complex terrain."

Wen Baizhi was very confident about Yunzhou's winding terrain. It would be impossible for anyone without some skills to find them.

By then, the emperor will be far away and she and Si Jiu will be able to gain true freedom.

"Bai Bai, I know that if I go to Yunzhou with you, my body might become a burden to you, but Bai Bai, I really have no choice. I really can't leave you..."

This is not the first time that Si Jiu has expressed his dependence on Wen Baizhi while sober.

On the contrary, he is now more and more able to face his own needs and dare to speak his mind.

This made Wen Baizhi very satisfied.

Because only children who feel enough love dare to express their needs.

She hugged Si Jiu and said, "Zi Jin, you have never been a burden to me. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future. You will only be a part of my life, my second half of life, the rest of my life, my future. Since I promised you to take you to Yunzhou, it means that I have considered this matter deeply. As long as I am with you, I am not afraid of anything, no matter all the problems and challenges in the future."

For people like Si Jiu who lack both love and security, they need to constantly get the answers they want from the people they depend on the most.

Wen Baizhi always gives Si Jiu the most straightforward expression of love.

What they don’t know at this moment is that from now on, the future storm has just begun.
