hard work

Compared with Ku Tong, who was getting thinner day by day, Wen Huaizhou, who hadn't returned home for a few days, was quite different from him.

Wen Huaizhou put on that harmless smile of human beings and animals. He walked with dignity, talked with grace, and when he shook his fan, a sense of spring breeze came over his face.

He never mentioned the bitter boy, but it was the same as usual.

It's the same as when Ku Tong first came to the mansion, just because he previously treated Ku Tong as nothing, and lived a carefree, carefree life, so he always carried this kind of gentleman's air.

To tell the truth, all the servants in the main courtyard complained about Wen Huaizhou, they flagged him, and even refused to go to the side courtyard to see the second wife...but no one really dared to speak out.

When Ku Tong knew that Wen Huaizhou had returned, he didn't express anything, but just laughed it off, what should he do.But once in a while, he would go out for a walk with Ah Yun and Feng Qinghe, and it was quite a leisurely time.

Wen Huaizhou and Kutong were like a convention, they went out at that time and came back at this time, and they haven't met each other for three days, not to mention the servants of the main courtyard were frowning, even Ah Yun couldn't stand it.

"Madam, do you still want to go to Qingyu's place after dinner tonight?" At this time, it was already dusk, and A Yun was quickly cleaning up the dishes, just in time to ask the bitter boy beside him.

"Ah, it's fine." Ku Tong replied vaguely as if he had just recovered.

Ah Yun sighed in his heart, he knew that Kutong's strength was all pretended on the surface, and the appearance of tossing and turning at night and being unable to sleep was all in Ah Yun's eyes, he knew that after his wife was marked, he would have dissatisfaction with the third young master Such feelings, but never thought it would be like this.

Perhaps Ku Tong himself didn't know how reluctant and absent-minded he was every time he traveled with Feng Qinghe, but he still tried his best to blend in with them, as if he was deliberately covering up something.

"The madam will have a good rest tonight, so let's not go." A Yun said on his own initiative.

"Okay." Ku Tong really didn't understand what was going on with him recently, he always liked to lose his mind, and it was inevitable that he would disappoint them if he went out with him.

Kutong lay down with his clothes early, he was always a little weak lately, and often stayed up all night because of the cold, so he got used to sleeping with his clothes on.

The candles in the house had been extinguished by Ah Yun, but Ku Tong didn't feel sleepy at all.

He missed Wen Huaizhou's smell so much.

Recently, Wen Huaizhou came back, although Ku Tong really didn't want to think about him, but the side courtyard and the main courtyard are only separated by a wall, and the breath of snow mountain is always surrounded by Ku Tong, faintly visible, but the most deadly.

Especially on chilly nights.

Kutong was sweating from his temples, but his hands and feet were very cold, even if he shrunk himself into a ball, it didn't change at all.

So Kutong got out of bed and went out quietly.

He was wearing thin clothes, but in Ku Tong's eyes, he didn't even want to add any more clothes.He walked very slowly, so quietly that he could barely make a sound, and seemed to be struggling a bit.Later, he still walked towards the main courtyard, staring at the lights there in a burst of distraction.

Ku Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily he didn't see Shuncai and Shunkang at the gate of the yard, so he unconsciously quickened his pace.

He came to the eaves of the main courtyard, but he didn't even want to open the door to go in. Instead, he found a window from memory and sat down carefully.

Ku Tong sighed softly, he seemed a little excited, but also a little comfortable, and his whole body became relaxed.

It is this taste.

Ku Tong hugged his knees and curled up into a ball, but it was not because of the cold, but a subconscious movement.He listened to the conversation between Wen Huaizhou and Shuncai in the room, which made him feel safe and relieved for no reason.

This is not the first time that Ku Tong has done this. Since Wen Huaizhou came back, Ku Tong often couldn't restrain the cold at night, so he quietly came to this corner to absorb Wen Huaizhou's smell, and then sneaked away after waiting enough.

Fortunately, Wen Huaizhou never found out, and he never once mentioned that he wanted to see Wen Huaizhou, even though he still couldn't sleep after returning to his room, he was still too cold to shape.

But so what?He didn't want Wen Huaizhou to know this, and he didn't blame Wen Huaizhou for turning himself into this, because Ku Tong believed what Fang Hanqing said.He didn't even want to disturb Wen Huaizhou, since he didn't want to mention it, Ku Tong wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

He has already accepted his fate.

Gradually, the candles in Wen Huaizhou's house were bleary, and Shun Cai left his room, yawning all over the place. The poor boy outside the house, his whole body aching from the cold dew, still wanted to stay for another quarter of an hour with a smile on his mouth.

Ku Tong felt relieved and at ease, he knew that the more he did this, the more he would become addicted, but he just couldn't bear to leave half a step away.

Precisely because he stayed for half an hour longer today, the bitter boy who hadn't had a good night's sleep in several days, unexpectedly fell asleep quietly.

Wen Huaizhou pressed his temples wearily, the dim candlelight dazzled him for a while, and he wanted to go out to take a breath.

He opened the door softly, but smelled a strong camellia fragrance. Just as he was wondering where the smell came from, he spotted a figure under the window.

Wen Huaizhou was stunned, staring straight at the figure, his heart began to tremble inexplicably.

Kutong, why are you here?

Thinking of this in his heart, the person also walked into his side, saw that Kutong was wearing such thin clothes, his brows were slightly frowned, and he subconsciously took off the cloak and covered him.

Ku Tong hugged his knees with both hands, and his head hung on his knees. After Wen Huaizhou covered him, he touched his hand again, making him even more angry.

Why is it so cold?

While arguing with him, he picked up Kutong horizontally, entered the inner room, and gently placed him on his bed.

Wen Huaizhou was extremely annoyed, angry that Kutong didn't cherish himself, and also angry that he didn't send him back to the side courtyard.After carefully looking at his pale cheeks, he sighed a few times and was about to get up to leave, but Ku Tong turned over and grabbed Wen Huaizhou's clothes, as if he did not want him to leave.

Wen Huaizhou was stunned, he didn't understand why Kutong would do this.

But Kutong, who was already asleep, had a very simple idea. He subconsciously wanted to get close to that breath, which would make him feel at ease and comfortable. When he felt that the heat source was moving away from him, he wanted to keep it live.

Wen Huaizhou pondered for a moment, then resigned himself to staying by Kutong's bed, and then tucked in the quilt for him.

Wen Huaizhou knew that the reason Ku Tong became like this must be related to himself.It was he who forcibly pulled him into estrus, and it was he who couldn't bear the loneliness and brought the bitter boy into the house.However, whenever Wen Huaizhou met Ku Tong, he always felt helpless. The reason why he stayed with Bai Lian these days was mainly to escape, and secondly, to make up for it. I apologize for letting myself gradually forget about Kutong.

And he naturally forgot to apologize to Kutong.

Wen Huaizhou thought it was natural for him to mark the bitter boy, and it was natural for him to accept it, and the bitter boy should also accept it.

He even naively thought that with the passage of time, as the relationship between the two faded away, that crazy night would be forgotten, and they lived an irrelevant life.

But how is it possible?Even if the root is broken, there is even a layer of shackles between them, which is the original sin and can never be shaken off.

Wen Huaizhou's deliberate neglect is due to his disbelief and disobedience, he does not want to be influenced or even implicated by others.As for Ku Tong, Wen Huaizhou either loves, is attached to, or dislikes, no matter what, he doesn't want to have the premise of marking, even though he was the one who made the mistake first.

Now, when he looked at Kutong, Wen Huaizhou had to admit the pain in his heart.He escaped, thought about Bai Lian, thought about the past, even thought about the eternal moonlight, went around but found that he still couldn't let go of the person in front of him.

Wen Huaizhou also resigned to his fate, whether it was Mark who was causing trouble, or wanting to atone for him, he had to admit that there were two people in his heart at the same time, but he couldn't tell which was more important.

Is it a person?Or two people?Wen Huaizhou really didn't know, just like the last time Ku Tong asked himself if he regarded himself as Bai Lian... he really thought about it occasionally.

Maybe it's because of Bai Lian's premise that he came up with this idea.

After Wen Huaizhou communicated with each other, he unexpectedly became grandiose.He decided to treat Kutong directly as Bai Lian, maybe... this is what he really wanted?

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, the early birds were jumping on the branches, the young leaves in early spring were rustling, and the morning dew was blown away by the wind, leaving a chilly atmosphere.

Kutong hadn't had such a good sleep for a long time. He felt warm, without cold or humidity, and the best thing was the reassuring smell of snow-capped mountains, which made his dreams sweet.

He gently opened his eyes, but found that the surroundings were quite familiar, but he couldn't remember them, so he quickly sat up and looked around.

There is still warmth on Kutong's side, accompanied by a faint smell of snow mountain, warm and fresh.

Ku Tong realized in a second that this was Wen Huaizhou's room, and he jumped out of bed in fright.

"But Ma'am is awake?" Suddenly a female voice came along with the knock on the door. She seemed to have heard the movement in the room, so she came to ask.

It was Jasper's voice.Ku Tong thought for a while, maybe Wen Huaizhou found him last night, so he took him into the house, and replied with peace of mind: "Yes."

Biyu came in when he heard the sound, and Biting was holding the washing things, brows were full of joy.

Although I don't know why the second wife came to the third young master's yard, but after knowing that the relationship between the two has become closer, I am happy for Kutong.

Ku Tong washed up quickly, and when he was about to leave, Shuncai Shunde brought a lot of food, and they also beamed with joy: "Madam, let's eat!"

Ku Tong just got up from the stool, after hearing this, he had no choice but to sit down and eat breakfast seriously.

Several servants stood in a row, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces.

Ku Tong felt a little embarrassed, and ate and drank until his mouth swelled, and he ate everything in a while.

"Biyu, I'll go now." Ku Tong got up quickly, and said while chewing.

"No, ma'am! The third young master told the servants to talk to you when they come back." Biyu anxiously called Kutong, and the others nodded in agreement.

Now Ku Tong had no choice but to sit down again, and really obediently waited for Wen Huaizhou.

But after a while, Wen Huaizhou actually came back, the rest of the servants retreated tactfully, while Ku Tong stood aside anxiously.

Wen Huaizhou glanced lightly at Ku Tong: "Sit down."

Ku Tong sat down, and Wen Huaizhou went to the back room to change his official uniform before coming back and sitting beside Ku Tong.

Ku Tong hadn't seen Wen Huaizhou for a long time, so he was always a little embarrassed.

"Why did you sleep at the door last night?" Wen Huaizhou poured himself a cup of tea and said after taking a sip.

"I... can't sleep." Kutong hesitated for a long time, but still didn't tell the truth.

Wen Huaizhou continued to ask: "After those few days...do you feel unwell?"

"...It's OK." Knowing that he was talking about the days after the mark, Ku Tong finally gave an ambiguous answer.

Wen Huaizhou was silent, and the teacup in his hand didn't speak, just sat there, seemed a little angry.

Ku Tong panicked a little, just as he was about to explain, Wen Huaizhou suddenly roared.

"Why don't you tell the truth!"

His voice became louder, and his tone was full of sternness.

Ku Tong lowered his head, thought for a moment before saying, "I can't find a chance."

When he was in dire straits, Wen Huaizhou was having fun with Bai Lianyunyu; when he couldn't bear it, Wen Huaizhou was struggling in the officialdom; when he finally made up his mind to say something, everything was over.

Wen Huaizhou turned his head away, gritted his teeth and did not speak again.

Ku Tong smiled lightly, it was Wen Huaizhou who was the cause of everything, but it was always me who made the mistake, which is really ironic.

"Let's move here to live today."

I don't know how long it took before Wen Huaizhou said this.

Ku Tong raised his head suddenly, as if he was afraid that he had heard wrongly, but when he wanted to confirm, he found that Wen Huaizhou had already left.

But the bitter boy who was sitting in the original position was still a little unbelievable, and even faintly happy in his heart.

After Ku Tong realized it, he began to smile bitterly again.He once read the story of moths rushing to a flame in a picture book, and he always sneered, how could there be such stupid things in this world.But when I was also in the quagmire and lost forever, everything became so real and so sweet.
