seal to be opened

After Xuantiemeng stopped the car, they walked on the road for another two days. They entered Guantang Town and arrived at the fork in the direction of Xingxi and Tea House.

After entering the town, it was already dark.Walking to the door of the inn, I saw seven or eight people dressed in black and looking like servants standing in a line at the door.The leader is a young and half-grown boy, although his face is young, he is quite tall, and the style of the emerald green robe is quite similar to the one Ai Ziqing first came to Xia Yulou.As soon as the group of people saw Fang You's carriage, they all knelt down on one leg.Seeing this battle, Fang You immediately understood that the people from the tea house should come to pick up their young master.

Fang You helped Ai Ziqing get off the carriage.As soon as the boy saw Ai Ziqing, he got up and rushed forward, his eyes were very anxious.Seeing him, Ai Ziqing's eyes became moist, and she staggered into his arms.

"Shan Cong, you've grown taller again." Ai Ziqing tugged on his arm to manage to stand still.

Dan Cong helped Ai Ziqing steady, but he didn't take any offense at his high pregnancy, only looked at his face, choked up and said: "The young master is suffering, and Dan Cong can't accompany the young master, it is because of Shan Cong's incompetence."

Ai Ziqing reached out and rubbed his head, bitterly said: "Silly boy..."

The expressions of both of them were sad, Fang You and the three of them couldn't interrupt while watching, they just silently wondered.After a while, Shan Cong became serious, turned to the three of them, and said in a polite manner, "Thank you for taking care of my young master, all troubles can be put to rest, and the tea house will prepare tea in the future." Qi Xieli came to make amends. Starting from Guantang Town, there will be our servants and servants serving the young master along the way, so you can rest assured." The implication is that he issued an order to evict guests.

Fang You remained silent, only narrowed his eagle eyes slightly, and looked at Ai Ziqing.

Ai Ziqing didn't look at him, but said to Dan Cong calmly, "This is Hero Fang You. I owe Hero Fang a teacup, and I agreed to invite him to visit the manor. The other is Doctor Bai Ming." , I still need to invite him into the village to take care of my body." As for Chen Feng, he didn't say anything, as if he didn't exist.

No matter how ignorant Chen Feng was, he knew that Ai Ziqing didn't have much affection for him. Now he naturally asked for a step down, and said, "I still want to go to Xingxi to visit an old friend, so I will stay soon." After finishing speaking, he patted Fang You's shoulder again before turning around and leaving.

Fang You wanted to stretch out his hand to hold him, but he heard Dan Cong on the other side say "Master, let's go in and rest first", so he gave up and followed Ai Ziqing into the inn.Over there, Bai Ming said "I'll go and come back" and chased after Chen Feng.

After entering the inn, the people from the tea house have already reserved the best wing room, and everything is in order.Shan Cong helped Ai Ziqing into the room, helped him to sit down, but blocked Fang You from the door. "Dan Cong has served Young Master Ziqing since he was a child, and Dan Cong always keeps in mind all the young master's needs. Thank you Fang Daxia for taking care of him for a long time. Now, please feel free to leave the young master to me."

Fang You felt a little annoyed at being blocked by him so neither soft nor hard. He looked into the room, but saw only half of Ai Ziqing's body, sitting at the table with his stomach in his arms, shivering with a forbearance. His face was unclear, but he could also feel the melancholy lingering on his body. His small body seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, and he seemed to be completely different from the arrogant young master he loved.Fang You couldn't help shouting: "Ziqing."

Ai Ziqing remained motionless, still sitting at the table with his back facing him, and said in a cold voice, "You have worked hard to take care of me these days. Go and rest, Shan Cong will take care of me."

Fang You didn't expect him to make such a decision, so he was taken aback for a moment.But Shan Cong stretched out his hand like the room next door, and said: "The room arranged for Hero Fang is just next door, Hero Fang, please." Fang You had to leave silently.

Ai Ziqing never came out of the room until the climax of the moon.During the period, the food and hot water were all done by Shan Cong himself.Naturally, the people in the tea house would not treat Fang You and Bai Ming badly. The food and wine were all ready, and the room was indeed the best.But Fang You was still worried.Although he knew that Ai Ziqing was hiding some things in his mind that he had never asked about, but the appearance just now seemed to be a completely different person.Fang You suddenly felt that taking him back to the tea house this time was really a blessing or a curse.After thinking about it several times, it was difficult to fall asleep, so I just lay on my back on the bed with my clothes on, paying attention to the breath next door.

Sure enough, there was some movement in the next room.Without Fang You's coaxing, Ai Ziqing couldn't fall asleep.As soon as Fang You heard the noise, he jumped out of the bed and met Ai Ziqing who was only wearing unlined clothing and just opened the door to come out.

When Ai Ziqing saw him, he only sighed softly, his expression remained unchanged, his brows were still furrowed, his pink lips were tightly pursed, his face turned slightly pale, and he leaned on the door frame and stood with all his might.

Seeing this, Fang You's heart ached, and he leaned closer and asked, "Aren't you sleeping yet?"

Ai Ziqing shook his head slightly, and replied: "Can't sleep." As soon as he finished speaking, a cool night breeze blew, his clothes were very thin, and he couldn't help shivering at this moment.Later, Dan Cong hurriedly turned to get his coat, but Fang You took off his coat directly and put it on Ai Ziqing.

"Then I'll walk with you?" Fang You rushed ahead of Shan Cong, first reaching out to support his waist.

Ai Ziqing nodded, turned his face slightly and told Dan Cong behind him, "You don't need to follow", then walked slowly to the yard with Fang You's support.

Because it was already late at night, and the tea house almost covered half of the inn, the yard was empty, and there was no one there, only a bright moon and a few sparse old trees.Ai Ziqing wrapped the coat around his body tighter, and the feeling of being surrounded by the lingering warmth from Fang You's body made him feel at ease.

The two went to the small pavilion in the courtyard, Fang You stretched out his hand to touch the stone bench, it was really cold, so he sat down first, then put Ai Ziqing into his arms, let him sit on his lap, and put People are tightly bound.The two sat quietly for a while, and Fang You finally spoke first: "Is that Dan Cong your own servant, or is it from your family?"

"It's my own." Ai Ziqing's expression was still as frowning as before. "He's younger than me, and he's been by my side since he was a child. He knows everything about me."

"Including those I don't know?" Fang You couldn't hear any emotion in his voice, he just looked down at him.

Ai Ziqing didn't look up, nor did he change his tone, he just stated: "Including those you don't know."

Fang You didn't ask any more questions.He couldn't blame Ai Ziqing, after all, if Chen Feng hadn't appeared suddenly, he wouldn't have been honest.

A few light clouds drifted past, covering the moonlight for a moment, making Ai Ziqing's already gloomy expression even more gloomy, and there was lingering pain in his brows and eyes, which made people feel distressed.The breeze caressed the remaining fragments of dead leaves on the trees, making rustling noises, but Fang You couldn't hear them, only Ai Ziqing's slightly trembling breathing.He himself was warm, but after hugging him for so long, it seemed that the warmth couldn't reach the person in his arms.The wind was blowing a bit louder, and there seemed to be Ai Ziqing's sigh in the sound of the wind, but he couldn't really hear it.

Fang You, in fact, if you ask, I will tell you everything, but you will never ask.

Although he didn't know the reason, Fang You knew that Ai Ziqing was feeling uncomfortable, so he casually picked up some words and chatted: "Didn't you say before that you will take me to a place after you go back? Where are you going?"

Hearing this, Ai Ziqing lowered his head, and replied, "You will know when you get there." His hair was slightly disheveled by the night wind just now, and now it hangs down to cover his expression.If Fang You could see it, he would see the forced smile on his lips, and the irretrievable despair in his eyes.

Fang You only felt that he was a little sleepy, so he picked him up by the waist and carried him all the way back to the room.Shan Cong didn't stop him either.That night, he still hugged him before coaxing him to sleep.Ai Ziqing has a big belly, it's not easy to curl up in Fang You's arms, she just turned her back to him, let him hug her, the pillow was wet with tears a few times in the night, so naturally he couldn't see.
