After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Ping An, who had been in the Governor's Mansion for almost three years, saw for the first time Si Jiu taking the initiative to show interest in food like he did this morning.

Generally speaking, Si Jiu either doesn't eat or eats very little.

Every time the food was delivered to his house, he would reheat it several times before eating it.

Sometimes taking medicine on an empty stomach makes you feel even worse.

So when he saw Si Jiu sitting calmly at the table and even holding a vegetarian bun in his hand, he felt like he was dreaming.

Si Jiu himself also felt like he was dreaming.

Wen Baizhi also felt that she was not fully awake.

"Um, Du Gong." She said awkwardly.

Si Jiu looked at her and said, "Just call me Si Jiu."

Ping An was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

God knows, in the whole of Kyoto, he is the only one who can call their governor by his name.

But now the Governor has actually given Miss Wen this right.

No, it’s not Miss Wen, it should be Madam.

Wen Baizhi cleared her throat: "Si Jiu."

Si Jiu then gestured for her to continue with satisfaction.

Wen Baizhi had just drunk a few mouthfuls of white porridge and ate a vegetarian bun, and felt that there was no taste in her mouth.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Si Jiu, "Can I ask my maid to go to the kitchen and get me some sugar?"

Si Jiu's pupils shrank: "White sugar? I don't know what Miss Wen wants white sugar for."

Wen Baizhi said a little embarrassedly: "This porridge really has no taste at all. I really can't eat it. My mouth feels bitter. I want to put some sugar in it. It should taste better."

Si Jiu's heart trembled.

That year, she said the same thing to herself when she was sitting in front of her sickbed and saw herself drinking white porridge. Later, she added sugar to her white porridge. He still remembers the taste.

He waved his hand and Ping An came over.

"Go to the kitchen and get some sugar for Madam, and bring me a bowl of porridge."

He went there safely and came back soon.

I saw Si Jiu put the newly brought white porridge in front of me.

Wen Baizhi had already poured sugar into her bowl. She looked at the bowl in front of Si Jiu and asked, "Si Jiu, do you want some sugar too?"

Si Jiu pushed the bowl towards her obediently.

Wen Baizhi poured some into his bowl as well.

After both of them had sugar in their bowls, Wen Baizhi took chopsticks and stirred while saying:

"You have to stir the porridge while it's still hot, so that every bite is sweet."

She had said exactly the same thing before.

Si Jiu lowered his head and stirred.

When no one was looking, a tear fell into the bowl.

After all, Si Jiu had not yet recovered from a serious illness and could not eat too much. He only ate half a bowl and stopped eating. He also only took two or three bites of the vegetarian bun.

Only after Wen Baizhi finished drinking the porridge did she have the chance to take a good look at the person in front of her.

The impression given by the man in front of me is that he is thin, extremely thin.

The pale and bloodless cheeks were almost fleshless, and the cheekbones were deeply sunken, giving people a skinny feeling.

The clothes are loose, so you can't tell how thin the body is, but because of the belt around the waist, you can see that the waist is slender.

There are obvious dark circles under the eyes, which shows lack of sleep.

His facial features have matured a lot compared to three years ago, but he looks a little cold on his extremely thin face.

It’s these pupils that are still as bright as ever.

The fingers holding the porridge bowl were long and slender, and if you looked closely you could see a layer of skin loosely hanging on them.

Wen Baizhi felt indescribably sad.

She never dared to think that he had even suffered the most severe form of castration.

Thinking of this, she, who was originally not full, put down her bowl.

Si Jiu knew her appetite and asked with concern, "Miss Wen, why did you only eat so little?"

Wen Baizhi casually found an excuse: "Maybe it's because I'm not used to it."

Si Jiu hurriedly asked: "Miss Wen, if there is anything you are not used to, you can tell me. I can do anything for you as long as I can."

Wen Baizhi was a little stunned when she heard this.

She is just wearing the shell of Wen Baizhi now.

She also didn't plan to tell anyone else that she was Wen Bai.

After all, in this era, if she spoke out, she would probably be burned to death as a monster.

So now Si Jiu is very concerned about Wen Baizhi.

Instead of her smelling white.

Wen Baizhi pursed her lips: "There's nothing to get used to. After all, it's my first time in a new place, so it takes some time to adapt."

Si Jiu felt relieved after hearing this: "I know Miss Wen is not willing to marry here, and I also know that I am not worthy of Miss Wen with my status, but Miss Wen, don't worry, I will find a chance to divorce Miss Wen later."

This is the best statement Si Jiu can think of right now.

Wen Baizhi was a little surprised.

It was indeed surprising that the now famous governor of Kyoto would say such words to a little-known girl from a small family.

She still said: "In this case, I would like to thank the governor."

Si Jiu's left hand, which was placed under the table, pinched his right hand hard.

"However, I don't think there is anything wrong with your status. The Dugong is very popular in the court now. It is a blessing for our Wen family that I can marry the Dugong."

Si Jiu looked at her suddenly.

Wen Baizhi seemed to be burned by this look.

Si Jiu realized his abruptness and suddenly lowered his head and said, "No, I have always been unworthy of it."

But he spoke in a low voice and Wen Baizhi didn't hear carefully.

Before she could ask clearly, she saw someone running in hurriedly and whispering something into Ping'an's ear.

Ping An waved his hand to let the man leave and then said to Si Jiu, "Lord Governor, someone from the palace has sent a message to summon you to the palace."

Si Jiu was a little unhappy: "Didn't you say that I could rest at home for three days after I got married?"

Ping An was a little nervous: "After all, this is the palace's intention. I guess they have something to explain."

Si Jiu wanted to say something, but realized that Wen Baizhi was still there.

Wen Baizhi moved her head back: "I didn't mean to listen to you guys."

Si Jiu smiled and said, "Since Miss Wen has married into the Governor's Mansion, she will naturally listen to anything."

Wen Baizhi refused: "Don't tell me if it's something that will make you turn around. I still want to live a few more years."

Si Jiu promised her: "No, since you have married me, I will do my best to protect you."

She didn’t know if it was Wen Baizhi’s illusion, but she felt that Si Jiu’s face turned red after he said this.

Ping An reminded from the side: "Du Gong, it's getting late, we have to go to the palace."

Si Jiu stood up reluctantly.

Wen Baizhi was glad that he was the only one who entered the palace. If she also went to see Qi Yan'an, she didn't know if she would lose control.

Before leaving, Si Jiu said to Wen Baizhi: "Wait for me to come back, and we will have dinner together in the evening."

Before leaving, he added anxiously, "Wait until I come back."

Wen Baizhi nodded repeatedly, speaking as if she was going somewhere.

She has married here, where else can she go?

However, when it was time for dinner, Si Jiu had not returned yet.
