Chapter 129 He's responsible for being beautiful
This was the third day since Shen Xi came into this world. Thunder roared in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and rain poured down on the dilapidated building.
Shen Xi sat cross-legged on the bare bed, looking worried, leaning against the sack of money. The foot of the bed was flooded by rainwater, and the entire bed board was wet.
It's been raining for half a day now, and it looks like it's going to get even heavier.
Just then, amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, dozens of figures suddenly appeared running through the raindrops.
Shen Xi was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating. She stared warily ahead.
As the people slowly approached, she could see what they looked like. There were six bodyguards, one of whom was holding a child who looked about five or six years old.
Suddenly, she stared blankly at the child in front of her, momentarily forgetting that she was also a child.
She looked at that familiar face and blurted out...
"My son?!"
The six bodyguards who had been escorting the young master instantly turned pale.
Is this child also mentally challenged?
However, as soon as Shen Xi finished speaking, Xiao Jiangci immediately stepped forward, his clear eyes darting around her, and his little hands instinctively reaching for the hem of her clothes.
He tilted his head back and whispered, "Brother."
Upon hearing this title, Shen Xi managed a weak smile, looking at the little boy who was a head shorter than her with a complicated expression. She asked, "Are you Jiang Ci?"
Xiao Jiangci blinked and nodded, her eyes watery.
He felt a little sad. Had his brother forgotten him so quickly?
Looking at the child's tearful expression, Shen Xi was unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Who would have thought that this crying little child would become her future husband, and that her son would be the same age as him in another world?!
The rain was pouring down outside, while the two children inside were each lost in their own thoughts.
In the dimly lit house,
The taller, buzz-cut "boy" looked down at the little boy in front of him who was looking up at her expectantly, his hand still tugging at the hem of her clothes.
Finally, one of the bodyguard captains behind him couldn't bear to watch any longer. He gently waded through the water, stepped forward, and lifted the young master onto the bed.
She even wiped the young master's feet clean and put on new shoes for him.
Xiao Jiangci lowered her eyes, sometimes stealing a glance at her brother, but quickly looked away when she looked over, straightening her back with an air of dignity, pretending that she had been sitting obediently the whole time.
Shen Xi didn't notice his subtle actions, partly because she wasn't paying attention; her mind was completely preoccupied with how the Shen Xi of this world got involved with Jiang Ci.
In the previous world, she was a cannon fodder world. In the script of that world, she was the female supporting character and Jiang Ci was the male lead. But later the plot deviated and there was a hidden secret. Behind that was that Jiang Ci fell in love with her, which led to the birth of Jiang Du.
But what about Zhang Zhaodi?
As an outsider, Shen Xi seems to be the female protagonist of a novel, which arouses Zhang Zhaodi's jealousy.
In fact, all of the above were Shen Xi's perceptions before she died in the previous world. At that time, she was betting that there were other interfering factors outside the world, similar to the world consciousness that she wanted to exchange to save her grandmother.
When she tentatively said that she was the female lead.
That world, I accept it.
Perhaps because Shen Xi was in a daze for too long, Xiao Jiangci would sometimes look down and secretly peek at her face, and sometimes he would immerse himself in his own world and become so sad that he became withdrawn.
Finally, he couldn't help but tug at her sleeve, his voice soft, "Brother."
Completely bewildered, Shen Xi turned her head without thinking and subconsciously said, "Call me sister."
After she finished speaking, she came to her senses. Oh right, in her eyes, wasn't she now just an older brother?
Sigh, what will it be like when my future husband calls me "brother" now?
Shen Xi replied that her feelings were quite complicated; people who didn't know better would think she was playing a role-playing game.
Xiao Jiang blinked in confusion, then leaned closer, his fluffy head looking at his brother intently, his expression serious. "Sister?"
Shen Xi ruffled the young master's hair in a serious manner and said, "Yes, I am a girl, so you have to call me sister, not brother."
Although countless times in the future, she would faint from anger because of this shameful title, and regret letting Jiang Ci call her "sister".
But Shen Xi doesn't know that right now!
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard captain, whose eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses, glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the girl who claimed to be his older sister.
It could very well be a girl. After all, the child is very fair-skinned, with eyelashes long enough to poke her eyelids, and there's no sign of an Adam's apple.
But when he walks outside, many people think that Shen Xi has boyish features, not just because he has short hair.
More than anything, it's because she has a wild spirit.
After all, they had struggled and fought their way up in this underworld.
Xiao Jiangci, of course...can't understand!!
How could the older brother he'd been following for a year be a little girl?!
He used to hate little girls who cried and screamed all the time. Most of the girls from wealthy families who had connections with the Jiang family were spoiled and pampered. If they didn't get their way, they would cry so much that they would drown him in tears.
From then on, the arrogant young master Jiang would avoid the girl.
He blinked in disbelief, staring at Shen Xi expectantly, trying to get her to take back what she had just said.
Shen Xi looked down at him and casually reached out to scratch the little boy's chin.
It's like teasing a puppy.
The bodyguard looked away, exasperated.
Shen Xi said, "I am indeed a girl, and I have no reason to lie to you."
She didn't offer any further explanation, because Jiang Ci would believe her as long as she spoke.
Xiao Jiangci stared blankly at his brother, stubbornly refusing to lower his head, his face showing an expression as if he had been struck by lightning. His adorable appearance made it hard for anyone to say anything.
But Shen Xi, a woman with the heart of a wolf, nodded seriously, looking as if to say, "I'm right."
And so, the two children seemed to be facing off.
To the bodyguard, the two children's eyes were practically sparking with chemistry.
The bodyguards couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Young Master is indeed Young Master. His temper hasn't changed because of a young girl. That's how it should be. A real man shouldn't be so hesitant and indecisive over a young girl."
But the next second, they were proven wrong.
It was the kind of slap that made your face slap loudly.
They watched as their young master glanced hesitantly at Shen Xi and awkwardly called out, "Sister."
Shen Xi responded with a soft "Yes."
Who knew that Xiao Jiangci seemed to have gotten addicted to calling him that. When he saw that his brother... oh no sister was not as aloof as before, but was willing to talk to him, he called her "sister" more sweetly than anyone else.
In Shen Xi's eyes, Jiang Ci is suited to be a sweet girl in the future.
He was responsible for being beautiful, and she was responsible for earning money to support the family.
