Chapter 126 A very strange thing
After they had came out of Pine Crane Hall, Shu Huan and Gu Xiran exchanged a glance. Seeing each other's slight red eyes and the tired face because of not having slept, they couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile.
Gu Da's words were irrelevant to them. After all, he was only someone they had seen for not more than two times. They wouldn't put anything he says in their hearts. Moreover, they had always been insignificant existences in Gu household. After adapting these days, they had long become used to it. However, Gu household provided them with food and clothes. It had grace towards them. Fang s.h.i.+ had also been good to them. Hence, even if they didn't have the heart to be bothered with anything, they didn't have the intention to completely not lift a finger for Gu Xitian's funeral.
It was just, they couldn't help a lot. They could only help on small matters.
Shu Huan called Meijing to go invite Ji Danqing and let concubine Yun sent some suitable supplements that old madam had rewarded her (SH) in the past to Fang s.h.i.+.
After she had instructed, the two planned to take a stroll to loosen up their minds, loosen their bones that had become stiff because of sitting in the carriage for a long time and then go back to make up for the lost sleep when they heard someone calling after them.
Shu Huan turned and saw that it was Gu Xihe as expected.
The moment Gu Xihe caught up, he gasped, "You finally came back. These days, I have been bored to death!"
"Bored?" Gu Xiran swept a glance over him. "Eldest big brother had pa.s.sed away. Are you not sad at all?"
"Don't joke around! I will be sad if it was you who had pa.s.sed away. Eldest big brother isn't close with us. At most, I will be a little bit sad…," Halfway through, Gu Xihe saw that Gu Xiran was looking unkindly at him. He quickly changed what he was about to say, "I didn't curse you on purpose. Just take it as if I was farting (talking bulls.h.i.+t)!"
Gu Xiran didn't spoke.
"Could it be that you are very sad?" Gu Xiran scratched his head puzzled. Suddenly, he came to a realization and said, "That's right. Both of you are born from the same mother! Then…you still take it as if I was farting! In fact, I'm also very sad. After all, he is my eldest big brother. We still had a meal together on the Mid-Autumn festival. He even gave me half of his mooncake and advised me to not always tease those teachers and to study well. Although, it was very annoying and I even made a funny face at him before running away, but thinking about it now…"
He suddenly paused and didn't continue. He turned his face to sniff. After a short while, he said, "If I knew that it would be like this, I would've patiently listened at him that day."
Truly still a child!
Gu Xiran listened to him in silence. The words that he (GXR) wanted to say didn't come out of his mouth again. He only reached out and rubbed his (GXH) head.
