Chapter 759: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 20
But Miaomiao is different in this life. She doesn't even need his money to improve her life, but she uses the reason of "repaying the life-saving grace with money" to allow herself to live here with peace of mind.
Her eyes were full of life, perhaps with pity for him, but without any other thoughts.
But the strange thing is, after two lifetimes, whether it was her patience when making porridge and soup, or her calmness when he had difficulty going to the toilet, or even the food she just prepared for him.
Trivial warmth, like a vine, silently entangled his heart, which had been frozen for two lifetimes, making him yearn for something called "home" for the first time after losing his loved ones.
There is no need for fine clothes or delicious food. As long as she is there, even a leaky thatched hut can become a warm room.
At this moment, Xiao Yunzhou had to admit that it wasn't that she couldn't live without him, but that he couldn't live without her. He wanted to take her, just her, under his wings...
He really lacks someone like this to remind him that he is still alive...
"I'm not pitying you. I just consider you my relative, my sister."
When Miaomiao thought Xiao Yunzhou would not speak anymore, Xiao Yunzhou gave her a reason that made it difficult for her to respond.
“Well, just like you, we all lost our parents.
But I lost two more brothers than you did."
Xiao Yunzhou said this to himself almost numbly. At this moment, he didn't even know whether he was really that sad or just said that in order to get the girl in front of him.
He had never thought of plotting against her in this way, but naturally, he thought that if he did not convince her to go with him, perhaps when they met again, she would be with another man.
"I did inherit a lot of money from my family, but I lost all my relatives. That kind of loneliness is really darker than the night in the mountains."
Xiao Yunzhou looked at Miaomiao, tears welling in his eyes, and the words he said were a fragile and frank expression that Miaomiao had never heard him say before.
The light of the setting sun filtered through the window lattice, casting a layer of gold on his pale face, making him look like a wolf cub that had lost its mother in the forest, looking at her pitifully.
But she is a hunter and has always been ruthless. Otherwise, how can she survive?
Miaomiao sighed. She was a bit cruel.
"After losing my parents, I haven't been able to sleep well for a single day. I can't help but think of them when I close my eyes.
Until I fell off the cliff and met you.
You saved me and took care of me like only my family ever did.
So, in my heart, you have become like a family member...
I treat you as my sister."
This was the second time Xiao Yunzhou talked about treating Miaomiao as his sister. At the beginning, he had some difficulty in saying it, but the second time, it was much smoother.
If in the past, someone said that he would tear off his wounds to show the other person in order to keep a little girl, not only would he pretend to be pitiful, but he would also look at the other person with pitiful eyes and call her sister sadly.
He might think that the other party had gone mad and that he had to kill him with a sword to avoid causing any trouble.
But now, he actually did it...
"Then I'll be your adopted sister."
Miaomiao had originally firmly believed in her heart that she was a ruthless hunter, but when she saw the look in Xiao Yunzhou's eyes, she impulsively said these words.
It doesn't seem like a big deal. She's such an excellent hunter, so it's no big deal for her to be a sworn sister.
Not only did he not suffer any loss, but he also took advantage of the fact that the big boss was still young and had the upper hand.
"But, no reward without merit, I just listened to what you said.
Not all relatives are together, and they will go their separate ways.
But if you feel sad in the future, you can come and stay with your sister, right?
Don't worry, since I'm your sister, I'm definitely on the same page with you."
Miaomiao thought for a moment and added that the sky outside was already getting dark, so without waiting for Xiao Yunzhou to say anything else, she went to the stove to pack up the things she had brought back.
Xiao Yunzhou lowered his head silently, looking at the piece of wood in his hand vaguely, still thinking about what she said.
"Not all relatives are together, and relatives will go their separate ways."
Indeed, since ancient times, women would marry, and some would marry far away, and some would not even be able to see their parents for several years after leaving their home, let alone a younger brother like herself who had changed her ways.
Xiao Yunzhou looked up at the little girl who was checking the japonica rice in the rice bag with her back to him. The rustling sound of the scoop passing through the japonica rice was like a needle picking apart the disguise he had carefully stitched.
He thought of some things he had deliberately ignored before, such as the wild berries on the table that he had not touched but did not want Miaomiao to touch at all. Why did he feel uncomfortable when he saw the young man named Daniu appear in front of Miaomiao?
Did he simply feel that his relatives were paying attention to other people? If his brothers hadn't been in trouble, would he have felt uncomfortable because his brothers smiled at other girls?
No, he would only bless his brother, or look at him with scrutiny, hoping that he could find a good partner.
But it’s not the same for Miaomiao. He feels that no one in the world is worthy of her and she deserves the best.
No, she...
Xiao Yunzhou's throat rolled, and he thought again, what if it was Ling Miaomiao in his previous life?
After he left Lingjia Village in his previous life, he never came back. All the acts of repaying gratitude were left to his trusted subordinates.
Therefore, he had no idea whether she got married or not. He only knew that she was alive and living a decent life.
But now?
Can he still do as he did in his previous life, leaving everything to his confidants?
Then it was really like Miaomiao said, when you meet a relative who only visits occasionally, you may not see him for several years, but when you meet him, he is still a very close relative.
No, he can't do it!!
Whenever Xiao Yunzhou thought of this possibility, his muscles tensed up and his heart ached, as if someone had chiseled a piece of flesh out of his chest.
"Bah."
The piece of wood that Xiao Yunzhou had just held in his hand fell to the ground as he was stunned. The sound was so soft that it seemed that only he could hear it.
It turns out that he has been ignoring what he wants most in his heart under the pretext of wanting a family. Perhaps he is unable to face the filth in his own mind.
How could he suddenly fall in love with a little girl, considering his experience in his previous life? So he subconsciously disguised what he wanted most.
Disguised as family affection.
If Miaomiao hadn't said that relatives would go their separate ways, perhaps his hidden thoughts would not have been awakened.
Denounce your own filthiness, and then accept your own filthiness calmly...
Xiao Yunzhou took the bowl of water beside him and drank it in one gulp. Now he finally knew why he was always thirsty.
It was just an old man's old house on fire, and he was too angry.
After realizing that his feelings for Miaomiao were not those of a family member, but rather an attraction between a man and a woman, and even a strong possessive desire, Xiao Yunzhou did not think about what to do now.
What does he have now?
Apart from money and some loyal subordinates, all he has is the experience of his previous life.
His enemies wished he were dead so he wouldn't have the power he later had.
At least, at the age of fourteen, he could not give Miaomiao happiness.
But at the age of eighteen, he can definitely do it!
Then, let me be a younger brother first, an excellent and obedient younger brother...
