Take off your mask!boy of ice and fire

Somewhere in the courtyard of Zhao's mansion.

Melodious music floats in the air...

The moonlight is soft.

The water columns of the fountain pool are patchwork, and the sparkling water surface glows with bright and transparent light.

Waves of melodies are vaguely entwined with sadness and melancholy, seeming to seep into the bottom of my heart...

The figure in a pure white dress played the violin gracefully, plucking the strings lonely and desolately, as if he wanted to play it forever.

"So... so you are here, I have been looking for... you for a long time."

Suddenly, the picturesque illusion was shattered by a call from a distance.

He looked back, and saw the heroic young man bent over and supported his knees, panting and sweating profusely.

Glancing indifferently, he turned his back on the boy again, and began to play alone intoxicated.

"Didn't you say that as long as I decipher the meaning of those four cards, you will date me?"

Zhao Yuyi walked around him with the card and stood in front of him, his eyes sparkling, "I already know what it means."

The fingers suddenly stopped uncontrollably, and the beautiful and desolate music stopped abruptly.There were slight ripples in Li Shilun's calm heart, but he was still cold on the surface, listening to the answer with his breath held.

"NYDW is pinyin, not English, it's pinyin. And it has to be reversed to become WDYN. It means, 'I promise you. (wodayingni)'"

Zhao Yuyi put the card into his hand with a bright smile, "So you have already given me the answer."

Li Shilun felt that the card in his hand, which was as light as a goose feather, suddenly felt like a heavy stone, which was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

After escaping in the garden that day, he tried his best to avoid the other party all day long, and he didn't want to be alone with the other party anymore.However, the other party relentlessly entangled him, not only blocking him in the corridor at home, but also looking for him at school early, even chasing him when he went for a morning jog, surrounding him like a fly all the time.

He was really fed up with the opponent's stalking, so he came up with a difficult problem, hoping that Zhao Yu would retreat when he knew the difficulty!only……

Ten thousand steps back, Zhao Yuyi would never have guessed the meaning of those cards!

"You guessed wrong." Li Shilun concealed the confusion and bewilderment in his heart, resolutely picked up the violin, walked around him, turned and left, but was caught off guard by the other party's wrist, which was very strong, like an eagle catching a chicken With so much strength, I want to crush him, tear him apart!He even vaguely felt that the other party was exuding anger!

"You want to escape again! Every time you want to escape! I won't let you go!"

That tone had the rascality and childishness of a child, he was about to laugh at Zhao Yuyi, but when he raised his head and met Zhao Yuyi's unwavering eyes, he turned his face away guiltily, "Let me go."

"I just won't let go! You said it didn't mean 'I promise you', so what do you mean? What do you mean? What kind of answer are you going to use to perfuse me?"

Faced with Zhao Yu's aggressive tone, Li Shilun felt his chest was tight. He stared at his shoes and the fallen leaves on the ground, feeling confused.

He didn't expect to find this situation at all, and he didn't expect how he would respond if the other party guessed the answer!It was like a sneak attack without warning, which drove him back every step of the way!

"I don't care anymore."

Zhao Yu stared at his snow-white side, like a general giving an order that cannot be refused, "From now on, this moment! This second! I am your boyfriend."

Li Shilun couldn't hide it anymore, looked at him in surprise, and said decisively: "No! I don't agree! Go live your big dream!"

"Obviously you provoked me first! When I was a child, I said that my ear was pregnant. Didn't you want to have my child? If you didn't like me? Why did you say you wanted to have a child?"

Li Shilun had nothing to do with his arrogance, "I've said it many times, it's a term that nerds who like three dimensions would say, it doesn't mean that at all! How many times do you want me to explain it!"

Struggling angrily, Li Shilun pulled out his wrist, which had already been caught red, and stepped back again and again, pulling the distance between each other to a safe position, "Who do you think you are? Why should I be with you? I like women."

"I don't listen, I don't want to hear any more excuses from you."

Zhao Yu approached him step by step, his eyes were full of heartache and loss.

"Do you think I don't know anything?" There was firm conviction in the eyes, "If you really don't have me in your heart, then what is in the third room on the second floor? Tell me, what is in it?"

Li Shilun's face turned pale, and he still said stiffly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Let me tell you the answer." Zhao Yu looked at him firmly, his eyes were burning, as if he could see through him completely, "The second young master who never paints portraits, only paints landscapes, painted all over the room. It’s all a portrait of a person. From the moment we met at the age of seven, he has drawn that boy’s appearance changes every year, every expression, every emotion, every memorable moment. If ..."

The scene when he accidentally saw that room flashed through his mind.

The huge room has large and small drawing boards and canvases.

Stacked in layers and arranged neatly.

In the picture frame are scenes of him doing his homework, pictures of him winning a prize in his first piano competition, pictures of him starting a sports game, and scenes of him playing with a puppy...

Everything is like a camera, and it is recorded in a fixed frame forever. Every stroke, every line, and every color can be seen from the artist's intentions, and it is almost a work that has been exhausted.

Zhao Yu's voice was choked with tears, "...if he doesn't have that person in his heart, why can he see the place where others can't see that person, why can he describe that person's every word and deed in detail? Like Is it that he has been imprinted in the bottom of my heart countless times, and he has been so vividly depicted?"

He couldn't forget the shock, touch and joy when he saw that room!

It turns out that the relationship over the years is not a one-man show by him alone!It's not that he is self-indulgent!It's not his wishful thinking!

Shilun...

In my heart, there is also his existence.

Li Shilun felt like a deserter who was forced to the cliff. He put on the cold mask again with all his strength, pretended to be calm, and stared at him, "Master Zhao, you are very imaginative. I suggest you go to college." When you are free, you may wish to read drama writing or stage performance, which seems to be very suitable for you.”

"I don't accept your tricks. If you think you can stab me with this kind of tone and make me retreat, you are very wrong!"

Zhao Yuyi looked at him tenderly and heartbroken, "Shi Lun, how long are you going to pretend?"

"Who told you that I was pretending?" Li Shilun, who was always calm and calm, finally couldn't bear to raise his voice, and shouted sharply: "It's just a few portraits, what's the big deal, I can draw you, my aunt and the world Uncle, or everyone in the mansion, I could draw you at that time, just because you and I have known each other since I was a child, I am more familiar with you, it is easier to draw, it is simply..."

As he talked, the more he felt that his confidence was lacking, especially that Zhao Yuyi didn't believe the look in his eyes at all, which made him at a loss and his thoughts were confused.

He felt that his throat was stuck by a fishbone, and he couldn't make any sound at all, and his heart ached unbearably.

"Finished?"

As soon as Zhao Yu approached, he took his hand, his fingers trembled, but he didn't take it back.

He heard Zhao Yuyi sigh deeply, and then said slowly: "Then it's my turn to speak now."

I really don't know what other shocking words Zhao Yuyi will say, Li Shilun feels that he is very fragile, as long as he attacks him a little harder, he will no longer be able to pretend, and will completely surrender!

"I know what you're worried about." Zhao Yu recalled that day in the garden, when Li Shilun suddenly changed his attitude. Before, he just guessed, but that day confirmed what he thought, "My parents are kind to you, kind to you. As heavy as a mountain, you can't, you can't, take away their only son. You can fall in love with anyone in the world, but you can't fall in love with the heir of the five generations of the Zhao Group."

Li Shilun's heart was shocked, and he suddenly raised his head to stare at him, as if he didn't understand why he could see through all this!

With a bitter smile, Zhao Yuyi clenched that hand, "We've known each other since childhood, and I know you better than you yourself, how could I not guess it?"

Zhao Yuyi gently hugged Li Shilun into his arms, and felt the body in his arms trembling slightly.

His heart was miserable, and he felt that everything was like the stars in the sky, out of reach, and he wanted to touch them, but he would never be able to catch them.

The moonlight was once again mercilessly covered by clouds.

The sky and the earth suddenly went dark, leaving only a little dim starlight.

A breeze blew on the leaves, and a few leaves fell to the fountain, and fell to the water surface, causing waves of ripples.

Zhao Yuyi slowly closed his eyes, as if he was listening to the condemned prisoner in the final trial, and said in a hoarse voice: "Shi Lun, can't we be selfish for once?"

The lights are dazzling, the symphony in the hall is still playing smoothly, and the dancers on the dance floor are spinning, tilting, and swinging round and round, and their undulating and continuous dancing postures are very gorgeous and elegant.

From the window, one can peek out of the shade of the lush trees, and there are two figures holding hands and slipping quietly into the hall through the back door, and then walk up to the third floor through the fire escape on the other side.

Everything was eerily quiet, but no one knew.

"Crack—"

The door was pushed open, the tall and straight figure took a few steps forward, and then pressed the light button, bright light immediately illuminated the entire clean room.

Li Shilun behind him looked nostalgic, and carefully looked at every corner of the room. There was no unnecessary decoration in the whole room, only a leather sofa, a wine cabinet, and a baby grand piano carved from mahogany near the window—— Elad the Death Swan.

Since he stopped practicing the piano and started practicing the violin, he never came to this room again.

What surprised him the most was that there was an enlarged photo on the wall, the photo he thought Zhao Yuyi had thrown away, the handsome profile leaning forward, the subtle distance of ambiguity, due to the backlight too much Brilliant, the face that was sleeping soundly paled, the outline of the lower jaw faintly reappearing.

Zhao Yu stepped forward quickly, opened the cover of the piano, and tried a few notes deftly with his fingers.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

The crisp and melodious tone is like yesterday, everything is just like when I was a child, nothing has changed.

Only they grow up.

Li Shilun approached, stretched out his hand to gently touch the shiny and bright wooden surface, there was no trace of dust, even the carvings on the edge of the piano were clear and brand new, it can be seen that it was well preserved.

Zhao Yu got up together, stroking the crooked English letter "z" engraved on the lid with his fingers, "Do you remember this?"

A smile unconsciously rose from the corner of his mouth, and Li Shilun replied: "I will never forget the picture of that guy declaring his ownership very domineeringly."

There was an illusion for a moment.

He seemed to see his young self and Zhao Yuyi standing in front of the piano, arguing with red faces, just to argue over who the piano belonged to.Then in the fierce quarrel, Zhao Yuyi pushed him away, picked up a ballpoint pen, and forcibly carved his own evidence on the piano cover.

"When we were young, we were really naive and ridiculous." Zhao Yu stared at him with shining eyes.

"Not too much now."

In the face of Li Shilun's poisonous tongue, Zhao Yuyi's immunity was already very high, he pulled Li Shilun past him indifferently, and sat down on the piano chair together.

Fingers lightly on the black and white keys.

Dancing quickly, the elegant but slightly sad melody sounded familiarly.

Sometimes it whispers, sometimes it's warm like a rose swaying in the wind, and sometimes it's like a brilliant rainbow rising after the rain.

The white gauze by the window is gently blown by the wind and flipped, like a butterfly dancing...

Li Shilun stared at his handsome profile, feeling warm in his heart.

This piece of music is "Dream Wedding", which is not only his favorite piece, but also Zhao Yuyi's favorite piece, and it is also full of their memories.

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at him, his fingers didn't stop at all, and he couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed him.

The superficial touch of Li Shilun passed over Li Shilun's lips, making him stunned.

Unaware of his abnormality, Zhao Yu went to the wine cabinet together, "It's such a beautiful night, we should have some wine, Shi Lun, what do you want to drink? Vodka, or a cocktail?"

Li Shilun withdrew his mind, and replied lightly: "Anything."

Zhao Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, and his subordinates began to operate with familiarity, "Then let me show you my unique bartending skills."

Afterwards, they began to play like martial arts, with exaggerated body movements.

A little carelessly, a series of wine bottles on the cabinet were knocked down by him, and there was a pile of broken and sharp glass pieces on the ground.

Li Shilun got up suddenly, and wanted to walk over, but after walking a few steps, he found that his skirt was caught by the carving of the piano chair.

Zhao Yu hurried over and helped him remove it.

"I wanted to ask you before, you don't look sissy at all, and you don't like to wear women's clothes, but why don't you change back to men's clothes?"

With a slight shock in his heart, Li Shilun remained silent.

As if realizing that Li Shilun had been touched by a landmine, Zhao Yuyi said unnaturally, "If...you don't want to say it, then don't. I didn't mean to force you. It's just...you know, anyone can I want to get to know more deeply...the person I like."

Li Shilun stared deeply at the young man with reddish cheeks and a timid tone in front of him.

He had never seen Zhao Yuyi like this.

The Zhao Yuyi he knew was a leopard with teeth and claws, dangerous and domineering.

Such a fresh cognition made him secretly happy and excited.But when I thought of not having the opportunity to get along with him in depth in the future, I felt bitter and melancholy again.He allowed to indulge himself once tonight, but it didn't mean he was willing to accept the other party.Zhao Yuyi didn't know anything, thought that he had accepted him, and kept being silly and happy, which made him feel very painful and guilty.

Li Shilun slowly closed his eyes, dismantled the solid wall that had been built to protect him, and said in a very soft voice: "You and I are the only sons in our family, do you know about this?"

Zhao Yu nodded subconsciously, then was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Li Shilun was willing to say what he had never said before, and his heart was filled with excitement and joy.

"My mother always wanted a daughter, but she was not in good health. After giving birth to me, she couldn't bear another child. Although she tried hard to conceive again, she had several miscarriages, even when she was already pregnant. The embryo formed in the abdomen could not be kept, and finally..."

After a pause, he said in a hoarse voice with difficulty: "I'm getting a little mentally disturbed."

Li Shilun hugged his arms unconsciously, remembering the pain from his mother beating him hard with a whip, "She doesn't like me, she doesn't like me even if I do anything. But father only has mother in his heart, He will only be happy if his mother is happy, so he doesn't care about me."

It's like tearing open the wound that has scabbed in the past, and the forgotten blood dripping with pain strikes again.

"I'm going to do everything I can to get them to like me."

Li Shilun opened his eyes and looked out the window, his expression seemed a little empty, "Finally I thought of a way to put on a skirt."

Zhao Yu caressed his arm, his eyes showed worry, "Shi Lun, that's enough...I..."

Li Shilun shook his head, looked back at him, with a shy smile in his eyes, "You know what? I really succeeded. My mother smiled at me for the first time, because I put on a dress and became what she wanted the most. Daughter. And Dad is... very happy."

"In order to get more smiles from them, I started to grow my hair long." Li Shilun picked up the loose hair on his chest, "I started to wear high heels, despite the ridicule of people in school, I even wore school uniforms."

When Zhao Yu thought of his bad attitude towards Li Shilun at the beginning, he was filled with guilt.

"Sorry, Shilun... I don't know..."

Li Shilun interrupted him with a smile, "No need to apologize, your attitude is normal. Even I hate wearing women's clothes. I have no manliness at all. I don't look like a man at all."

Zhao Yuyi said hastily: "Then, now that your parents are...why don't you change back to men's clothing?"

Li Shilun touched the skirt on his knees, "At first I wanted to please them, but later it was because..." Taking a deep breath, he said with a lonely look, "I miss you."

The fingers were wrapped by a big palm, and they were held tightly, and the warm touch conveyed a firm force.

As soon as he looked up, he met Zhao Yuyi's pitiful and heartbroken eyes. Li Shilun pulled out his hand and said in a low voice, "I'm not as fragile as you imagined."

Zhao Yu laughed, deliberately distorting his meaning. "I've always known how powerful your fists are."

Hearing this, Li Shilun couldn't help laughing, "I believe that based on the experience of being beaten by me so many times, you are indeed the most qualified person to say this."

The heavy breath in the air finally gradually dissipated.

A deep and magnetic voice came from beside my ear, "Shi Lun..."

Li Shilun looked at the heroic face staring at him affectionately. When that face slowly approached and kissed him, he didn't resist at all, and closed his eyes intoxicatedly to enjoy it.

The moonlight poured on the two of them, casting a layer of dazzling brilliance.

There was a sudden sound of porcelain hitting the ground.

The two separated abruptly, turned their heads to look, and there was a pale face standing at the door, looking at them in disbelief, with broken celadon pieces under their feet.
