Chapter 890: The sadness and joy of reunion between sister and brother
Zi Huai was still eating the cake, and when she saw the curtain suddenly opened, she was stunned subconsciously.
Zijuan stood at the door, looking at Zihuaai blankly.
"...Sister Ahua?"
"Ashu!"
Like a gust of wind, Zijuan's legs gained strength and she rushed into the kitchen, hugging the figure that had disappeared from memory a few years ago.
Even though the siblings have grown up, even though they haven't seen each other for several years, and they don't even know whether the other still exists in this world, they still recognized each other the moment they looked at each other.
Zi Huai felt familiar yet unfamiliar, a somewhat hard embrace because of the distance between the armor, her chin and pupils were trembling violently, and then she hugged Zi Juan forcefully with her backhand.
"Ashu...!"
"Sister-sister..." Zi Huai couldn't control her emotions. She hugged Zi Juan and closed her eyes, but her legs fell limp. "Sister, why don't you come to me?"
Ah-sister..."
He cried and howled, hugging Zijuan and crying loudly.
"A'shu - A'shu..." Zijuan's eyes widened, dragging Zihuai's powerless body, her eyes were dull, and she just called out Zihuai's name.
Xia Houying and Xiang An stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the two siblings who finally reunited with a little relief and sigh on their faces. Xia Houying waved to the confused chef, gesturing for him to come out quickly.
Don't disturb other siblings.
The reunion in the kitchen continued with joy and tears, but outside the kitchen, Xiang An was already chatting with Xia Houying.
"Your Excellency, you must be General Xiang An, who defeated Qin Jia's 20,000-strong army with only 5,000 men in Jia County. I have long admired him." Xia Houying added a belated greeting and bowed to Xiang An.
"It's just a matter of making good use of the right time and place. It's nothing important." Xiang An waved his hands, a little absent-mindedly, with a faint smile on his face, "Now... Xiaosi's brother is really still alive, which is great.
"
Xia Houying took a closer look at Xiang Anxin's absent-minded smile and smiled: "It seems that General Xiang is really happy for Ashu's sister."
"After all, she is my sister. It must be a good thing to find her lost brother. How can she be unhappy?" Xiang An chuckled.
Xia Houying touched his chin, thoughtfully, and couldn't help but laugh: "I originally heard that General Xiang An can defeat 5,000 and 20,000, and his power is unparalleled. I thought he was a ruthless character, but I didn't expect that he is also a caring person for sisters."
Xiang An's expression froze and he glared at Xia Houying: "What does it matter? You are so rude!"
Xia Houying quickly apologized and said, "Don't you think, General, that you are friendly to your brothers and sisters? I am a rough man, and what I said is not unpleasant."
Upon hearing this, Xiang An said nothing, just smiled helplessly and continued to look at the kitchen shed.
"From now on, I will be a general serving the same king. Win more battles!" Xiang An said symbolically, "Then, if possible, can I take Xiaosi's brother away today?"
"When they reunite as siblings, they should have a lot to say."
"Okay, I'll tell our general later that you can take their sisters and brothers back." Xia Houying patted Xiang An's arm familiarly, with an expression on his face that looked a little sad, "Ashu, this is
My child, you have suffered a lot from following us these years. Now that you have found your sister, I hope you can enjoy some blessings in the future."
Xiang An nodded wordlessly and moved closer to the shed. He found that the crying and howling had subsided and was replaced by some aggrieved sobs. Occasionally, he could still hear the exchanges between the siblings.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiang An opened a corner of the door curtain slightly and looked inside.
The two siblings have calmed down a little after venting their emotions. Now they are sitting on two small stools, holding hands. However, Zihuaai still lowers his head and hums, while Zijuan has a "loving" look on his face.
Looking at his brother.
Xiang An looked like he had seen a ghost and quickly closed the door curtain.
Damn it, Xiaosi can actually show that kind of motherly expression!? Am I crazy!?
Xia Houying watched Xiang An glance into the kitchen and then retracted his head in shock. Then he decisively slapped himself twice and then came forward again with a confused look on his face.
This General An...Why does he look like he's not in a good mind?
...
"Ashu, have you been following General Liu Ji all these years?" Zi Juan took Zi Huai's hand and asked softly.
Zi Huai shook his head: "No, I am following..."
Suddenly, his body was shaken, and he trembled for a few seconds before recovering, breathing heavily.
"Ashu! Ashu, what's wrong with you? Ashu!" Zijuan was startled and grabbed Zihuaai's shoulders.
"Sister, I, I'm fine..." Zihuaai wiped the sweat from his head and showed a tired and forced smile, "Let's not talk about this for now, sister, you have been...
How are you living?"
"Don't talk about me for now, Ashu, are you feeling uncomfortable? Just tell your sister, just tell your sister." Zijuan eagerly wiped the remaining tears from the corners of Zihuaai's eyes and said a little uneasily.
"No, it's okay, sister, I just had a nightmare last night...that's all, it's okay." Zi Huai swallowed, cheered up, patted Zi Juan on the shoulder, and showed a self-confident smile.
Sunny smile.
Zi Juan looked into Zi Huai's eyes and found that Zi Huai's eyeballs were trembling slightly. Finally, she tilted her eyes to the side, pursed her lips, and sighed silently.
She could sense that Zi Huai had some things that he didn't want to say to her... at least not now.
Ashu is getting older, and it’s normal to have things he doesn’t want to say. Since he doesn’t want to say it, let’s not let him say it for now.
Zijuan comforted herself like this.
"Then... let's talk about me." Zijuan touched Zihuaai's hair, "At that time I——"
"Xiao Si." Before Zijuan could speak, she heard a soft call from the door.
Zijuan looked at the door blankly: "...Brother?"
To be honest, she wanted to give Xiang An a hammer now.
"Brother?" Zi Huai's eyes became sharp.
"It's almost time for training. Do you need me to help you train?" Xiang An didn't want to do this, but...
There is no way! This is a must ask!
"And this is my kitchen. You two, brother and sister, go back and talk about it." Xiang An pursed his lips.
Zijuan also reflected that this was a family matter and it would be better to go back and talk alone.
"Ashu, how about you go back with your sister?" Zijuan held Zihuaai's hand and said gently, Xiang An got goosebumps when he heard it.
"Ah... um." Zi Huai glanced at Xiang An a few more times, lowered his eyes, and nodded.
"Don't worry, you are Xiao Si's younger brother, so I will treat you as Xiao Wu!" Xiang An didn't distance himself, walked over and slapped Zi Huai twice on the back, causing Zi Huai to stagger.
