The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Chapter 229 Do you like me?

Seeing that Jiang Tunan was unmoved, Xiao Wu rolled his eyes and then sobbed,

"I just miss my mother a little. Every time I see my sister, I always think of my mother..."

Jiang Tunan felt helpless, as it was too easy to see through a child's thoughts.

Maybe it was because Xiao Wu heard what Yu Niang said just now, so he thought that the siblings would have to rely on him in the future, so he wanted to use this opportunity to bring them closer to himself.

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that he has so many thoughts at such a young age.

"Do you really want to hear it or do you have other thoughts?"

Jiang Tunan said whatever he wanted to say.

"I am a person who will definitely do what I say. You don't have to deliberately get close to me."

Xiao Wu's thoughts were exposed and he looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm not saying this to criticize you or anything, I just want to tell you that relationships between people rely on sincerity for sincerity. If you're not sincere to others, no matter what kind of relationship it is, it won't last long."

Jiang Tunan patted Xiao Wu's head and was about to leave, but Xiao Wu grabbed his sleeve again.

Jiang Tunan turned around and saw Xiao Wu's face full of tears and sobbing.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm not a bad kid, I'm just afraid that if you leave today you won't come back."

Jiang Tunan was stunned for a moment, but then he heard Xiao Wu continue to say,

"Besides..I really miss mommy."

Seeing Xiao Wu crying loudly, Jiang Tunan's few moral senses suddenly emerged. Well, he is still a child and his parents just died not long ago, so just coax him to sleep.

"Okay, okay, wipe your tears and I'll coax you to sleep."

Xiao Wu smiled happily when he heard this, but he was afraid that Jiang Tunan would think he had ulterior motives, so he quickly retracted the corner of his mouth that was raised.

Xiao Wu walked to a corner far away from the bed where Yu Niang was sleeping. There was an old drawing table, and there were a few books of unknown origin under one of his legs.

Two quilts were hastily spread on the drawing table, apparently one for cushioning and the other for covering.

Before Jiang Tunan could speak, Xiao Wu climbed onto the drawing table and lay down obediently.

"They..he..."

Jiang Tunan didn't know how to start, he just felt a nameless anger rising. The people in the Imperial Medical Bureau were not willing to provide even one more decent bed?

"What's wrong sister?"

Jiang Tunan suppressed his anger and replied calmly,

"It's okay. Your mother used to coax you to sleep the same way."

Jiang Tunan moved a small wooden cabinet and turned it over to use as a stool.

"My mother sometimes tells me stories and sometimes sings to me."

Jiang Tunan: Okay, that allows her to express herself freely.

"Then let me tell you a story about a group of aquatic creatures today."

Xiao Wu:?

"The protagonist of the story is a little carp, whose dream is to one day become a great hero like a real dragon..."

"How can a tiny carp compare to a real dragon?"

Xiao Wu blinked his big eyes in disbelief.

"Don't interrupt me. Just listen to me."

Jiang Tunan tapped Xiao Wu's head gently.

"What's wrong with the carp? Haven't you heard of the saying 'the carp leaps over the dragon gate'? And how can you judge a person by his or her background? It's wrong for you to do that, kid."

"There is a place called Carp Lake at the bottom of the sea. Carp Lake was originally peaceful until one day a mangy snake came..."

Xiao Wu gradually became confused by Jiang Tunan's voice, until he felt that his eyelids could no longer open. Just when he was about to fall asleep, Jiang Tunan suddenly slapped him with his palm.

"Don't fall asleep yet, this part is very exciting. Listen to me, it was at that critical moment when Bubble held the dragon scale of the octopus leader and shouted..."

Xiao Wu:?

Facing Xiao Wu's skeptical gaze, Jiang Tunan felt a little guilty.

"Ahem, that's all I have to say for today. I'll sing you a little carp song."

Xiao Wu closed his eyes again, and heard Jiang Tunan's singing.

"Don't look at me as small, don't look at me as small, I have great ambitions~"

The courtyard door outside the house was gently pushed open, and it was Wen Yinzhi who came back.

Wen Yinzhi realized as she walked on the road that it was not a good idea to leave Jiang Tunan here alone. It was getting late, so it would be better to send her back as soon as possible.

But when he approached Yu Niang's room, he heard Jiang Tunan's singing coming from inside.

"Don't look at me as small, I am the protagonist in the fairy tale world..."

Wen Yinzhi stood still, his mind in a daze for a moment.

After entering the room, Yu Niang had already fallen asleep against the head of the bed. Jiang Tunan and Xiao Wu were staying in the corner, and Jiang Tunan was coaxing Xiao Wu to sleep.

Wen Yinzhi just stood there, looking at Jiang Tunan without saying a word.

"Master Wen, when did you come? It's quite scary standing here."

Jiang Tunan originally wanted to leave when she saw Xiao Wu fell asleep, but she suddenly saw someone standing behind her, and she was almost scared to death.

"I saw that Miss Jiang was so focused, so I couldn't bear to disturb her..."

Wen Yinzhi's tone was normal in the first half of the sentence, but she began to choke up in the second half, and finally she even started crying in front of Jiang Tunan.

Jiang Tunan:?

"Ah? Master Wen, why are you crying? Why are you...crying?"

Jiang Tunan was stunned. This Wen Yinzhi really loved to cry anywhere. He didn't expect that under her 1.80-meter-tall appearance, she had such a sentimental heart.

"I was just a little too excited."

Wen Yinzhi had tears in her eyes, but the smile on her face was difficult for Jiang Tunan to understand.

"What are you excited about?"

Wen Yinzhi smiled and did not answer, but changed the subject.

"This scene is heartwarming and reminds me of my childhood."

"With Divine Doctor Wen?"

Wen Yinzhi nodded slowly.

"Right, when Master accepted me as his apprentice, I always felt that I couldn't learn well, but Master didn't give up on me, and that's how I became who I am today."

Wen Yinzhi seemed to be lost in memories. Jiang Tunan felt that Wen Yinzhi was about to start crying again, so he quickly interrupted her and said,

"Speaking of which, your Imperial Medical Bureau is so poor that you don't even have a bed, and you let Xiao Wu sleep on a drawing table."

Jiang Tunan pulled Wen Yinzhi out of the room, and the two stood in the yard talking.

"I didn't expect that. Xiao Wu originally had a separate room. It seems that he doesn't want to be too far away from Yu Niang."

Wen Yinzhi looked at Jiang Tunan deeply and then said,

"I'll arrange it."

Jiang Tunan and Wen Yinzhi chatted about Yu Niang's situation for a while. Seeing that it was almost dark, Jiang Tunan felt that he should go back. If he went back after dark, Xiao Huaimin would inevitably worry.

Wen Yinzhi accompanied Jiang Tunan to the door of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Before leaving, Wen Yinzhi suddenly asked,

"Has Miss Jiang always lived in Kyoto?"

"Not really. I was just picked up recently."

Jiang Tunan was puzzled. This matter was not difficult to find out in Kyoto. It seemed that Wen Yinzhi was not a gossipy guy.

"I have always been curious about what kind of parents can raise a daughter as smart as Miss Jiang. If I have the chance, I really want to visit them in person."

"There is no such opportunity. My parents died when I was young, and I was raised in the clan. My aunt took pity on me and brought me to live in Kyoto."

Jiang Tunan once again used the rhetoric he had memorized by heart.

"I'm sorry for reminding Miss Jiang of sad things."

Wen Yinzhi looked annoyed.

"If possible, please invite Miss Jiang to gather together some other day as an apology."

I don’t know if it was Jiang Tunan’s illusion, but the smile on Wen Yinzhi’s face seemed gentler than before.

Jiang Tunan had a very plausible idea in his mind.

"Master Wen, you... don't like me, do you?"

Wen Yinzhi:?
