Chapter 2488 My Wife is a Pirate 17
At home, Bu Changji had already returned.
He paced around the room restlessly for a few times, then sat down again, fiddling with the half-pickled dried fish, his eyes glancing towards the door from time to time.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate and seeing Jinchen coming back with a basket, Bu Changji's heartbeat quickened for no reason, and his eyes involuntarily followed Jinchen's figure.
He wanted to ask whether Jinchen had completely rejected the matchmaker in the end.
He was out for so long just now, what was he doing?
Could it be... that he really went to meet the girl whose family owns two fishing boats?
But after Jinchen put down the basket, he just drank some water and wiped his face, without any intention of explaining.
How could Bu Changji be the type of person who could suppress his thoughts?
He was already upset because of his previous wild thoughts, and now seeing Jinchen acting so nonchalant, he felt a mixture of sour jealousy.
Bu Changji stood up suddenly and rushed to Jinchen in a few steps. His force was so great that he almost tore the coarse cloth sleeves. He looked at Jinchen fiercely, but his eyes revealed grievance and tension.
"Where did you go just now? Did you go to meet the girl the matchmaker mentioned? What did you say to her afterwards?"
Jinchen put the face towel back on the edge of the wooden basin, turned around, and looked at Bu Changji who suddenly attacked with some innocence.
"I rejected the matchmaker and didn't agree to anything with her. I just went to borrow something from the neighbor."
Jinchen's expression was frank and natural, without any trace of guilt or pretense.
Seeing that Bu Changji was still pursing his lips, with a look of stubborn inquiry in his eyes, the smile in Jinchen's eyes deepened.
He leaned forward slightly, moved closer, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to know what I told the matchmaker?"
Bu Changji's ears burned when he was looked at by him, but he refused to back down and uttered a word stiffly.
"think."
Jinchen looked at him and found him adorable, as he was clearly extremely concerned but pretending to be calm.
No longer keeping the secret, he said bluntly: "I told her that I already have someone I like and I raise that person as my wife, so no matter how good the girl is, I can't accept her."
Bu Changji was stunned for a moment, his heart seemed to be clenched and then suddenly loosened, and he felt sore and numb.
His eyes flickered, and the boss became uncomfortable, his voice stumbling, "Yes... yes, me?"
The moment he asked the question, he felt it was absurd. How could it be possible...
But Jinchen admitted it openly, "Who else could it be?"
As he spoke, he took something out of his arms.
It was a bracelet carefully woven with five-colored threads, with small and exquisite colorful shells strung in the middle. It was very beautiful.
"According to the seaside custom, when a brother is to be sworn in, it's like marrying a wife, and they have to give each other five-colored strings to string shells through."
Jinchen looked very serious, with a solemn promise, "It means that we will stand together through thick and thin, and share both good and bad times."
He lifted Bu Changji's hand and gently placed the bracelet on his slightly cool palm, looking at him with burning eyes. "I just went out to find someone to learn how to weave this, and I picked out the most beautiful shell. Would you like to accept it?"
Bu Changji was really stunned.
He had just sorted out his confused and unfamiliar feelings, but before he could figure out what to do, Jinchen took the lead and laid out her feelings in front of him so directly and solemnly.
This sudden confession made him dizzy and almost unable to bear it.
Bu Changji was flustered and subconsciously wanted to escape, mumbling hurriedly: "I, I'm not ready yet..."
But despite saying this, his hand was still tightly gripping the bracelet, with no intention of returning it.
As if afraid that Jinchen would go back on his word, Bu Changji turned around, hurried to the wardrobe, opened the drawer, put the bracelet in, and locked it with a snap.
It seemed as if this could lock up the promise that made his heart palpitate, prevent others from seeing it, and also give himself some breathing space.
Jinchen looked at his series of flustered yet cute movements, chuckled softly, and gently hugged him from behind, resting her chin lightly on the top of his head.
"Don't worry. This thing is for you after all. You can wear it whenever you want."
Bu Changji slowly relaxed.
He hesitated for a moment, finally turned around, buried his hot cheeks in Jinchen's chest, stretched out his arms, and gently hugged him back.
The clean scent of Jinchen lingered at the tip of his nose, but Bu Changji's heart was in turmoil.
How nice it would be if all this were true.
But he also knew that all the warmth and promises at this moment were based on a dislocation of identities.
The "Jiu Shi" in Jin Chen's eyes is the prince Fang Yunyao who needs his protection, not the scheming pirate leader Bu Changji with blood on his hands.
Whether he accepted or rejected it, he would feel uneasy.
Thinking of this, my heart felt like it was soaked in sour sea water, swollen and painful.
Even when facing the most violent waves at sea, he had never felt as headache and... helpless as he did at this moment.
Jin Chen keenly noticed the man in his arms was in a low mood. He gently touched his red earlobe and asked in a low voice, "Why are you silent again?"
I always feel that my wife is worried lately, which makes me anxious.
Jinchen rubbed Bu Changji's back again and hugged him tighter.
Bu Changji buried his face deeper and muttered softly, "No..." But his ears turned even redder.
Finally, I made up my mind and temporarily suppressed those chaotic thoughts.
[The villain's heart rate is detected +10, totaling 34! 】
[Detected... Villain... Darkness value -7, cumulative 80!]
Ling Gun Gun slapped his head in confusion, [Strange, is it really that I'm broken?]
-
The next day, Bu Changji still felt a little uneasy, so he quietly went to the stone building in the east.
He found Fang Yunyao and forced him to perform in front of him the way he used to act as the prince in Prince Jing's mansion.
Bu Changji was worried. Since Jinchen came for Fang Yunyao, he might have some understanding of the true nature of the prince...
He was a bandit leader who was used to running rampant on the sea. No matter how he disguised himself, the person he was in was ultimately very different from those princes who were raised in luxury.
What if Jinchen finds out the flaw...
He needs to learn something in advance, just in case.
Fang Yunyao felt that this request was extremely awkward and strange, but due to Bu Changji's authority, he had to bite the bullet and perform awkwardly.
The way they walk, the tone of their voice, the way they look at others, the way they drink tea...
God, Fang Yunyao had never felt that being himself would be so strange to perform.
Bu Changji crossed his arms and watched very seriously, but his brows were getting more and more furrowed.
As he looked at Fang Yunyao, his eyes even became critical.
The delicate and gentle little prince cannot withstand beatings, falls, or falls, has no courage, but has a bad temper.
Apart from that face, there is nothing else good about him.
Jinchen...does she really like this type?
But on second thought, for a long time, he had been acting in front of Jinchen as a weak, helpless, obedient and pitiful refugee.
Jinchen seems... quite fond of this.
Bu Changji waved his hands with mixed emotions, telling Fang Yunyao, who looked puzzled, to quickly do what he was supposed to do.
Hai Shiyi brought him the cup with great tact.
Bu Changji was feeling upset, so he took it and took a big gulp. The spicy and stimulating liquid slid down his throat before he realized it was wine.
"You're crazy, what should I do if I go back?"
He glared at Hai Shiyi.
Hai Shiyi shrank his neck in grievance, "Boss, you've always liked strong flavors. You can't suppress your true nature just for the sake of disguise, right?"
These words seemed to wake Bu Changji up.
Yes, he has been traveling across the sea, so when has he needed to be so coy and even hide his preferences?
You can pretend for a while, but you can't pretend for a lifetime.
He suddenly felt a little enlightened, so he simply grabbed the half jar of wine and drank it all.
The spicy wine burned him, but it made him feel much more relaxed.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he was wondering whether to stay a while or go back, but a pirate ran up to him and reported hesitantly.
"Boss! Something bad has happened! It seems your fisherman got into an argument with someone on the shore. He's surrounded by a group of people and they look really fierce!"
Bu Changji: "What!"
What a bunch of tactless people, how dare they touch his people!
Fang Yunyao, standing by, also opened his mouth in surprise, then sighed, "Oh my god, the people here are really tough. There are actually people who dare to bully that evil spirit!"
"No wonder my old father hid the treasure in this damn place. It's quite a mess."
As soon as he finished sighing, Bu Changji stood up and rushed out to save people with a stern face.
