Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 315 I’m…Old

Si He raised her head and looked at his profile so close to her. Her heart ached. After a long pause, she said, "Okay."

She hugged his neck tightly and buried her face in the crook of his neck. Sadness surged up again, and she tried her best to control herself so as not to make a choking sound.

Entering the kitchen, Ning Ji put her on a low stool and asked her to stay by his side as before while he went to boil water and do his work.

Si He quietly watched his busy figure. When he turned his head to look at her, she tried to raise the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly at him, repeating in her heart that she must not cry.

After a while, the kitchen was filled with a faint smell of smoke, and the air became a little warmer.

"Husband..."

"Well, what's wrong?" He turned around.

Si He originally wanted to ask him, how have you been doing these years?

But when the words came to her lips, she suddenly felt a little hesitant to ask, and finally just smiled and said: "I really want to eat the meat porridge you make."

Ning Ji smiled and said, "Little greedy cat, you can eat after you take a bath."

She smiled and said, "Okay."

At this moment, the firewood burning in the stove made a crackling sound, and the porridge in the small pot began to bubble up, full of the breath of life.

Si He then chatted with Ning Ji.

"Husband, has Momo gone to play in the forest again? Has he been so obedient these years?"

"Well, I guess it won't be back until night. It's grown a lot now and is much more noisy than when it was little. It often plays tricks on people who come into the forest and causes trouble. But it is also very cunning. If it encounters a powerful person, it will hide. So it doesn't suffer much."

"So naughty? Then you should punish it."

Ning Ji said with a smile, "It listens to you more. How about you punish it from now on?"

Hearing him say 'later', Si He's heart trembled again, but she still raised the corners of her lips and replied, "Okay."

After a while, the hot water was ready and Si He went to wash up. Ning Ji was busy making food for her.

On this day, the house was much more lively than usual. It was no longer silent and there were more people.

"Husband, I'm done washing, you dry my hair for me."

"it is good."

"Husband, the plums in the yard smell so good. There are so many of them. Besides making wine, how about making preserved fruits out of the rest?"

"it is good."

"Add some honey. I want it sweet."

"it is good."

"Husband, I want to drink the plum wine you brewed now."

"Okay, I'll go pour it for you, just wait a moment."

"Husband, your winemaking skills are quite good. It tastes very good."

"As long as you like it, there's still plenty in the room, enough for you to drink."

……

Si He kept talking to Ning Ji, and he answered her patiently without getting tired of it, and fulfilled her every request.

After Ning Ji dried her hair, he combed her hair into a simple style, just like before, just tying it with a hairband. Since she didn't go out, she didn't wear any jewelry because she found it troublesome.

In front of the bronze mirror, Si He looked at her reflection, and the complicated emotions in her heart began to ferment slowly again.

More than ten years have passed, and her appearance remains the same, but he is slowly getting older, with gray hair.

She lowered her eyes, turned around, hugged Ning Ji's waist, and buried her head in his arms.

"What's wrong?" He patted his back gently, his voice soft.

"I want to hug you." She spoke in a muffled voice, still acting coquettishly towards him as before, but she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and tried her best to hide it on her face.

Her nose was filled with the faint medicinal scent of his body, a soothing smell that relieved some of her depression and sadness.

The bronze mirror reflected the scene of two people hugging each other, one sitting and the other standing, full of tenderness and affection.

After a while, Si He raised her head to look at him, resting her chin on his abdomen, and said to him with a smile: "Husband, I'm hungry. Let's eat first."

"Okay." There was a smile in his eyes.

"Hug." She was particularly clingy.

"Yeah, hold me." He said, then reached out and picked her up, then walked outside.

Although he is older now, he still feels relaxed holding her.

In the yard, the two sat opposite each other.

Now that the weather is cool, it is most comfortable to dine in the yard. The fragrance of plums in the yard mixed with the smell of food makes people feel warm in their hearts.

The food was simple, just meat porridge and pancakes, with familiar tastes.

Si He lowered her head and ate happily, but when she looked up and saw his slightly weathered face, her heart would still twitch, as if she was sick and out of control.

When she felt too uncomfortable, she would try to lower her head and eat.

I ate in such a hurry that I didn't even notice the rice porridge on my lips. It was as if I was not eating porridge, but was in a hurry to swallow all the sadness into my stomach.

"Eat slowly, there's no rush. No one's going to snatch it from you."

As he spoke, he reached out and tucked the loose hair that fell on the side of her face behind her ear, with a smile on his face and gentle eyes.

"Yeah." She responded, but still finished the porridge in the bowl before looking up.

During the time she was eating, she had calmed down, and when she looked up at him, she had become the girl with a sweet smile again.

However, there was some rice porridge on her lips, which made her look a little silly.

Ning Ji couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this, "You're really like a child."

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the rice porridge from the corner of her mouth. He really looked like he was taking care of a child.

She didn't refute, but just looked up, smiled at him, and let him wipe his mouth.

After wiping it clean, Ning Ji asked, "Do you want to eat more?"

"I'm a little full." She never ate much when she just woke up.

"If you're hungry later in the evening, tell me." Ning Ji didn't force her to eat.

"Okay." She sat obediently, holding her chin and watching him eat.

Since the facts cannot be changed, let's just look at him more, maybe...

She didn't think about it any further, trying to clear her mind and cherish every moment.

Ning Ji saw her staring at his face with such intense eyes, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, "I... am old."

Although he acted calm about it, he was actually not at peace in his heart.

Si He's heart trembled again, but she still smiled sweetly: "You haven't aged, you're still as handsome, just more mature. Isn't it said that forty is the prime of a man's life? It's just right."

In fact, he is not old, he has just lost his youthfulness. With the passage of time, although there is a strand of white in his hair and a few more wrinkles on his face, his temperament is more stable and he has more charm of a mature man.

Her eyes were sparkling, as if there were stars twinkling in them, and her eyes were filled with undisguised pure love.

Ning Ji smiled, reached out and gently rubbed her head, then continued eating.

A gentle breeze blew, and the branches and leaves of the plum tree swayed gently, making a rustling sound. The huge green plums also swayed gently, and sometimes collided with each other. The crisp sound was like a wind chime, adding a touch of agility to the quiet courtyard, and intertwined with the two figures in the courtyard, forming an indescribable warm atmosphere.
