Earlier.
Sima Junke walked down the waterfront with a low bow. He could not fall asleep, making him come out to eliminate the ravages that were being struck.
The light dims in the morning, looks the beauty of dawn before sunrise.
The feeling was also that his mind was in chaos and his mind was exhausted.
Sima Junke wanted to finish trying to figure out the truth of this endless puzzle.
But he must not give up, even an Uncle Kun still survives for an explanation about the death of the friend.
Suddenly the sound of the horse's footprints rang out loud, a charming beautiful girl jumped down from the horse gallantly.
"Biaoge!" Call her loud and run fast throwing herself into Sima Junke's arms.
Sima Junke gasped in shock and he again relaxed his body when he saw the little girl he recognized.
"Suyin, where did you find out that I was in Nanhai?" Sima Junke asked with an uncomfortable frown.
Manchu Suyin, Sima Junke's paternal cousin. Manchu Suyin's mother was Sima, Sima Daiyu.
Sima Daiyu is Sima Xiahou's cousin, since marrying into the Manchu Family the woman chose to stay away from the capital.
Most members of the Sima Family have such a good temperament as well as being intelligent, they do not like or get involved in government conflicts.
The Sima family used to be a large family of left-wing officials whose position is almost the same as the present Zhai Dawai, but for some reason their ancestors chose to leave the Nanbao government.
Having abundant wealth and power that still stands strong until now, most of them choose to step aside and become a transparent figure.
'Dug,' Manchu Suyin released his embrace and hit Sima Junke hard on the shoulder.
"You're so mean! Didn't tell me or mom when you came here, "His grunts are upset.
"I forgot," Sima Junke replied indifferently.
"Why are you here?" Sima Junke asked briefly.
"Humph, yesterday I accidentally saw you. And rush straight here to see you. Hows it? Are you moved?" Manchu Suyin said by raising the corner of his brows intending to tease Sima Junke.
This young girl is the agile and carefree type, she will like to play around with annoying behavior to make people around her growl annoyed.
"No," Sima Junke replied sharply.
From the beginning as Kangjian said that Sima Junke was not too close to any female figure except her mother and grandmother, now increasing with the presence of Xiu Qixuan who is also an exception.
"It's not wrong, I miss you!" Manchu Suyin said loudly and held Sima Junke back tightly.
He knew that Sima Junke would be annoyed by his treatment and indeed from the start that was his intention.
"Suyin, release! You must have wandered unbeknownst to your mother, I will—" Tejeda Sima Junke.
"I won't let go, you've threatened me!" Reply Manchu Suyin loudly and firmly.
Sima Junke tried to push hard at the waist of this girl, but she was a Nanbao woman who had great strength. Manchu Suyin was still firmly defending and even clenched closer to Sima Junke's body.
This kind of movement was what Xiu Qixuan saw, causing misunderstandings as well as doubts of the heart.
************
'Czech...' The door of the room slowly opened and a handsome figure appeared that was indeed awaited by Xiu Qixuan.
"Xuan..." Call him with a face full of doubt as if to make sure that his actions did not create a big misunderstanding that hurt this girl.
The pretty face slowly lifted up and turned to look at Sima Junke who was standing on the doorstep.
He did not cry, nor did he smile, there was only a stroke of tranquility. A tranquility that can drown anyone who sees it.
Xiu Qixuan just silently did not say a word, but the radiance he released could intimidate his interlocutors.
Sima Junke was inspired to start the conversation first. "Xuan'er, I—" Paused.
"Explain," Xiu Qixuan said sharply and briefly cutting Sima Junke's speech.
Breathing loudly from Sima Junke's lips, the man quickly approached and crouched down before Xiu Qixuan who was sitting on the bed. He slowly grabbed Xiu Qixuan's wiggly fingers and grasped them tightly.
Silent.
Xiu Qixuan did not reply and just silently stared back at the two night-shattering eyeballs that could wash away.
"Come, I'll introduce you to my cousin!" Sima Junke stood up to invite Xiu Qixuan out to meet Manchu Suyin.
Xiu Qixuan did not move in the slightest, she looked up at Sima Junke with her brows furrowed then asked quietly, "Cousin?"
"Yes, he's my distant cousin. Manchu Suyin, his mother is a descendant of the Sima Family." Sima Junke was clear with a brief.
"Cousins who behave intimately together," Cibir Xiu Qixuan could not bear.
"Xuan'er, am I eating vinegar?" Sima Junke asked with a slight tease tracing Xiu Qixuan's face(1).
As Xiu Qixuan's cheeks flushed red, she turned her face away and replied, "I don't."
Sima Junke smiled faintly and said softly, "Just admit it."
Just admit that your heart is uncomfortable seeing me with another woman with that I can forget the painful words I heard before. Inner Sima Junke.
Xiu Qixuan raised her face slightly to look at Sima Junke with a deep look. Their eyes hooked on each other, piercing through the gaps of each heart.
"A Jun..." His lips are hooked upwards. Her voice was gentle but firm, "I'd be selfish if it was about you."
"You understand, don't you?" Continue with clarity.
Silent.
"Well..." Suddenly Sima Junke's loud laughter rang out, the man looked like an overly happy madman.
Xiu Qixuan frowned incomprehensibly and asked, "Your brain is shifting?"
Sima Junke looked at him with a happy twinkle, then he slightly bent down to cupper Xiu Qixuan's face with his sturdy fingers.
"I love you," he said straightforwardly giving a statement once more then peeked at Xiu Qixuan's face affectionately starting from forehead to lips.
"What is this about you?" Xiu Qixuan asked in confusion.
"It's okay. Come on, let's go see my cousin!" Take Sima Junke with a beat of happiness that has not subsided.
Xiu Qixuan did not reveal any love sentences, but she was already too happy and unhinged like this.
Moving on from his seat Xiu Qixuan grabbed Sima Junke's hand stalling to invite him to meet Manchu Suyin.
"We're going to see Aunt Daiyu, maybe she has some information about my father." Sima Junke said to her next destination.
'En,' Xiu Qixuan replied in understanding.
"You want to ask about your father's birth. But I don't understand. Why not ask a grandmother who knows more about it?" Xiu Qixuan asked by making a statement in the prefix sentence.
"I don't want to worsen Grandma's condition with the complicated questions going on in the past." Sima Junke clearly made sense.
"I have decided, after all. We will soon go to the Xitian Sect to search for the existence of the golden temple." Sima Junke continued straightforwardly.
Quickly Xiu Qixuan let go of their grasp, the girl looked extremely shocked to learn of Sima Junke's sudden decision.
Xiu Qixuan, that girl, she had already made plans to go to the Xitian Sect through Sima Junke as a road broker and she would try to convince this man to follow her steps, she said, but it was surprising that Sima Junke volunteered before Xiu Qixuan acted.
"Why?" Xiu Qixuan asked, looking into Sima Junke's eyes as if tracing through that page.
You clearly know it, you might as well hear it and you certainly understand.but why did you voluntarily submit yourself to be used by me, Inner Xiu Qixuan.
Thin smile plugged on her handsome face, she looked sincerely at the pretty face of this girl. "Don't think complicated, let's just say I love you too much." Honestly answer.
This man from the beginning had many doubts but he let a mist block his view.
After all if the figure of Xiu Qixuan was not present in his life, it would be hollow, nor would he have extensive knowledge of what happened to his parents within the Xitian Sect.
So, no one uses each other or uses each other.
They are sincerely loving but if their role has no impact in each other's lives, it is questionable what they are together for.
