His Rui

Chapter 76 - Will You Be My Friend?



Chapter 76 – Will You Be My Friend?

The whole street was silent at this moment. Except the neigh made by the horse, nothing else could be heard. Everyone's attention was on the girl who was now about to come under the horse's feet. People could not help but pity the two poor girls.

No one stepped forward to help the two young girls. No one was brave enough to sacrifice his life. An ordinary person will not be able to control the crazy horse. 

Standing at the end of the street, Li Diu ran behind his sister to remove her from the front of the horse.

However, different from everyone's expectation, just before the blindly running horse could smash the two girls under his feet, the young girl pushed herself and the other girl away on the side of the road.

Another wave of silence enveloped the street which was soon broken as the people whispered amongst themselves whether the girls would be alive or dead.

  "Ahh…"

Li Rui heard a whimper and raised her head. The girl under her was crying. Little Rui thought that she must be heavy so she got up from the girl's body carefully.

"Are you alright?"

She stretched out her hand in front of the girl who was still lying on the ground. Her words were very polite, different from how she acted spoiled in Li Manor.

A soft hand which was a bit larger than her own soft and small ones was placed in her hand. When the girl stood up in front of her, Li Rui could not help but admire the hairpin she was wearing.

It was very beautiful with two shiny peach blossoms-shaped flowers hanging on it. The girl was taller than her and she was very beautiful.

But when her sight fell on the girl's tears, she frowned.

'She doesn't like to see anyone's tears.'

But just then her gaze moved to her bleeding hand and she understood why the girl was crying. Stepping forward, she took the girl's hand in hers and blow air on it.

"Sssshhh…it will not hurt in a few moments."

The people on the street saw this scene and smiled. The younger was consoling the person who was older than her. They felt their heart moved when they saw the young girl doing this.

"Does it hurt still now?"

Li Rui asked as her lips continued to blow breath on the girl's hand.

"N…No…Thanks"

The girl answered sniffling but there was a small smile on her lips as she looked at the little girl in front of herself.

Li Rui was about to say something else but she was suddenly dragged sideways by someone. Raising her head when she saw how cold her brother's face looked she almost stepped back in fear.

"You have so much courage to jump in between the troubles, huh?"

Li Diu shouted at his sister. Only he knew the relief he was feeling after seeing her safe. But when he remembered how she had jumped in front of the horse, he raised his hand to slap his sister so that he could fill some sense in his mind.

But Li Rui suddenly grabbed his sleeves and started crying

"Brother, it hurts so much….Brother, Rui is in pain…"

The hand that was raised to slap her fell down and Li Diu immediately held her shoulders. His face was full of panic and worry as he asked his sister

"Where? Where does it hurt?"

Hearing his question, Li Rui thought for a moment and then said

"Brother, everywhere…"

Li Diu shook his head now knowing that she was only pretending so that she can save herself from scolding.

He was about to open his mouth to shower her with some new colorful words but he saw imperial guards walking towards them, he composed his expression and made Li Rui stand behind him.

The guards bowed their heads in front of him and said respectfully.

"Thanks to Young Lady Li for saving First Princess"

Li Diu was startled and looked at the girl who was standing behind Imperial guards.

She was a Princess Wenling.

Princess Wenling didn't notice his gaze as she was already down at someone with a soft smile on her lips. Li Diu followed her gaze and saw that someone was none other than his younger sister. She was chattering nonstop as the Princess listened to everything she said with a smile.

"This Princess thanks you for saving my life."

Princess Wenling said to Li Rui. Li Rui smiled and said

"Father said to help if we can. Rui just did whatever Father taught."

Li Diu sneered when he heard this because she didn't tell what Father had said after this.

'Father had also said that your safety is the most important thing and if you play with it then you will pay the price, not anyone else.'

"Will you be my friend? I don't have any friends."

Li Rui smiled brightly at the Princess's words.

While Li Diu's face sank.

'If his father came to know about all this then he would peel his skin off from his body.'

He grabbed Li Rui's arm and made her stand behind himself not before giving her a glare to shut her mouth. 

Then he nodded his head to the head of Imperial guards and said

"It is enough that everyone is safe."

He didn't want to stay for long. So he grabbed his sister and turned around to leave.

Li Rui who was dragged away by his brother suddenly remembered something.

'I don't have any friends.'

She turned her head and shouted

"I will come to play with you."

Standing a few steps away, Princess Wenling heard her and smiled brightly. She nodded her head and then waved her hand to Li Rui.

Li Rui also wanted to raise her hand to wave back but when she looked at how her brother was looking at her, she obediently lowered her head with a pout.

'It is now time to become a good child.'
