This sleeve is broken secretly

Spring and Jingming, green willows Yiyi.

The Yanjiang River is the largest river passing through the vicinity of the capital, starting from the grassland in the north and leading to the Jiangnan area in the south.When the spring flood season comes, the river is surging and the waves are rushing. Many sons and daughters who love outings and adventures often come here to go boating and chasing the waves, which is also a pleasure.

The day we met was a sunny day with clear skies.A place with beautiful scenery by the Yanjiang River was surrounded, a pergola was set up and tables and chairs were set up for people to rest and play.A few canoes were tied to the shore not far away, rising and falling with the tide.

When Shen Bing arrived, several carriages had already parked on the shore, and several handsome young men were standing under the awning laughing and chatting.When one of them turned around and saw Shen Yan dismounted, his eyes lit up immediately, he greeted him with a smile and said: "Master Shen is very fortunate to be able to come."

Shen Ting returned the gift with a smile: "Brother Xie invited me, how could I not come? Please call me Liangqing."

Xie Hua laughed, and turned around to invite some of his friends to introduce Shen Bing to him.The few people present are also talents from aristocratic families in the capital. Shen Yi has heard of their names before, and it is only today that they meet each other.Although a group of people came from different backgrounds, they were all officials in the court, and they were much more mature and stable. Shen Yi had more topics to talk with than Xie Ling's cronies.

However, Shen Bing's mind was not here.He chatted and laughed with everyone for a while, but couldn't help turning his head to Xie Hua and asked: "Brother Xie, let him today..."

"Let him? Is he coming today?" Xie Hua looked more surprised than he was. "I'm really ashamed, but this kid has always had many ideas, and he never sees the end. I don't know what he plans today."

Xie Ling didn't come?

Shen Yan smiled kindly on the surface, but he was at a loss in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was luck or regret.Xie Lingming knew that he would come, but still chose not to show up. Could it be that he was still angry?It's really strange, although Xie Ling used to get angry and jealous because of some small things, but his anger never lasted more than two days, what's wrong this time?

On the banks of the river, the wind is open.A group of princes from aristocratic families stood by the river, reciting poems and reciting words, and talking about the affairs of the world, all in high spirits.But Mr. Shen, who should be at home in this atmosphere, has been standing on the edge of the crowd with a smile and listening to others reciting poems and chatting without saying a word.Everyone looked at him sideways, and they all praised Jingzhou Tinglan's low-key humility in their hearts, but they didn't know that Mr. Shen's mind had already flown nine days away, and his mind was full of emotions and melancholy at this moment——

If Xie Ling keeps being so angry, what will he do?

Should he be coaxed along with him, or... or let him go?

After exchanging pleasantries, the young masters of the aristocratic family decided to have lunch now, and then board a boat for a river cruise after the wind and waves calmed down a bit in the afternoon.At this time, some attendants brought melons, fruits and wines like flowing water, and invited everyone to the table for dinner.

Shen Bing randomly picked a seat and sat down, holding a glass of wine in his hand and refusing to drink. He didn't move his chopsticks the whole time, and he was a little absent-minded all the time.He thought in his mind, if Xie Qin still didn't show up after today, he should take the initiative to come to the door to make amends.It's not easy for the two of them to get to where they are today. It's better to actively communicate with each other——

"Liang Qing!"

Shen Bing shook his hand, almost spilling the wine in his glass.He looked up and saw Xie Hua smiling, strode over and pulled him up: "Why are you drinking alone here? Come and shoot willows with us."

This "shooting willow" is one of the entertainment activities that the princes of the capital often play.According to historical records, "The shooters are ranked in order of dignity. The willow branch has a white part. If it is cut off at the white part, and the person who rides a horse and catches it in his hand is the champion; the one who can't catch it will be the second; the rest will lose." ("Golden History Li Zhi"

After tea and dinner in the outing, playing this willow shooting game not only tested everyone's riding and shooting skills, but also was very elegant.

Shen Bing was pulled up by Xie Hua, but he complained endlessly in his heart.Although these aristocratic families are all civil servants, they are taught by full-time martial arts masters when they are small horseback riding and archery. When they grow up, they are all like Xie Ling.However, he is from the south of the Yangtze River, and he would get motion sickness even in a carriage, so he is definitely not good at "sheliu".

It's just that he's always been peaceful.Even though he knew at this moment that he was going to make a fool of himself in public, he just sighed in his heart and didn't say anything, and stood up with a bow and a smile.

Sure enough, several people present at the scene shot willows at once, and their performances were all good. Nine out of ten arrows could hit the whitened part of the willow branch, and some of them were even able to shoot the willow branch off and fly to catch it. The heroic and unrestrained style is exceptionally outstanding.

After each person finished shooting willows, everyone must applaud.Not long after, it was Shen Bing's turn, and everyone looked back at each other with smiles and encouragement in their eyes.

Shen Yan sighed in his heart, and said helplessly: "Actually, I really don't know how to do this."

Everyone thought that he was being humble again, and it was okay to let him do whatever he wanted, just for fun.Shen Bin had no choice but to gallop forward, took down the featherless horizontal cluster arrows that had been prepared, and drew the bow to aim at the willow branch tied with a red scarf a hundred steps away.

There are only a handful of opportunities in his life to draw a bow. The most recent one was when Xie Ling held his hand and shot a brown fox with him in the Mulan paddock.Now the bow for shooting willows is naturally much lighter than Xie Jin's hunting bow, so Shen Bi can easily draw it.It's just that when he drew his bow, all the previous scenes appeared in his mind——

……

Xie Ling picked up the bow and set the arrow, held Shen's hands on the string and the bow separately, and guided him to draw the string with three fingers and slowly draw the bow to the side of the cheek, the arrow pointed at the fox's head.

Because he wanted to aim, the tip of Xie Ling's nose leaned against Shen Bing's side face, and his hot and moist breath hit Shen Bing's lips, making him feel uncomfortable for a while.

"do not move."

Xie Ling only held Shen Bing's slight struggle with all his strength, and blew two words into his ear.

"Look at the fur of this little fox...does it look like the collar of your cloak?"

……

The soft whispers in the memory sounded in his ears as if passing through time and space.Shen Bing's mind was shaken, and his mind was not in the right place. The arrow was already off the string as soon as he let go of his fingers almost in a trance. Even without looking, he was far away from the target.

Shen Ting sighed in his heart, and was about to show his shame to everyone, but suddenly he heard exclamations from around him.He was stunned for a moment, before he turned his head, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing towards his face, a flying feather came through the air with a "swipe" sound, and shot the weeping willow in an instant.And following the arrow feathers passed by like a shadow, one person and one rider, the speed was as fast as lightning, and they were already under the tree before everyone turned their heads.But when he heard the galloping of the steed, the half willow branch shot off by Fei Yu had already fallen into the palm of the person on the horse.

Xie Ling stood tall on the horse, holding a broken willow and smiled slightly at the crowd, and finally set his eyes on the surprised Shen Bing's face.The two looked at each other across the air, and Shen Ting's stunned expression gradually turned into a slight joy. He was about to say something, but Xie Ling took the lead to look away.

"Why are you here?" Xie Hua greeted him with a smile, "Just now Liangqing asked about you."

Xie Ling glanced at Shen Bing lightly, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Is that so... I came here when I had nothing to do."

Xie Hua knew that his younger brother had a good relationship with Shen Bing, so he left without exchanging pleasantries, leaving Xie Ling and Shen Bing where they were.

"Let it..." Shen Bian hadn't seen him for half a month, and he must be lying if he said he didn't miss him. At this moment, he was very pleasantly surprised when he saw him at first, and he whispered and reached out to pull him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ling turned around and avoided, looked at him and said coolly: "Master Shen, why bother to make a move, it would be bad for others to see the misunderstanding."

"You—" Shen Bing's complexion changed, a little sullen.But after all, he was much more stable than Xie Ling, he breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Jing Zhi, I did say some things without thinking that day. After half a month, we are both calmer now, it's time to calm down land--"

"Calm down?" Xie Qin asked him back, "When are you not calm?"

Shen Yan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I said, haven't you always been calm and reserved." Xie Jin sneered, "Since we met together, you have always been the person who is calm enough to stay out of things, as if it doesn't matter to you whether you have this relationship or not. .It is estimated that when you are lying in the same bed with me, you are always calculating when you will be separated from me in the future!"

Shen Yan had indeed imagined that the two would be separated in the future, but at this moment when Xie Ling said this, he felt an uncontrollable sense of anger and humiliation in his heart, as if he had been slapped in the face.

However, Xie Ling still angrily whispered over there: "I am so happy that I can't sleep every day and night after being with you, and I wish I could be with you all the time, so that everyone in the world knows our relationship. But what about you? Have you ever been really happy? In the past half month, I think you can't sleep because of your thoughts, but if you can take the opportunity to get rid of my entanglement, I'm afraid you are so happy that you can't sleep—"

Shen Yan raised his eyes abruptly, staring fiercely at Xie Ling like sharp knives out of their sheaths.The coldness and anger in those eyes made Xie Yin stop his chattering words abruptly, and the whole person was shocked in place.

The two looked at each other.Xie Ling tightened his grip on the reins, forced himself to straighten his back, and pursed his lips without flinching.Shen Bing didn't say anything, and quickly steered his horse away.

The others didn't notice the dispute between the two of them, but gathered in twos and threes to the place where the boat stopped.It was already in the afternoon, but the wind and waves did not stop, but the water surface on the river became more and more turbulent.

"Although it's a joy to stand on a single-leaf boat, but at this time the wind is high and the waves are high, I'm afraid it's not easy to go boating." Someone frowned and looked at Xie Hua, "Brother Xie, look at..."

Xie Hua pondered.It's not like there were people who didn't want to be happy for a while, but the boat capsized and fell into the water, and they were finally buried at the bottom of the river.They came out to play for fun, and if they took too much risk, the gain would not be worth the loss.So he laughed and said: "In that case, why not go back to the city to the Yuhe Wharf, I have another big painting boat parked there. The boat is very stable, and can withstand even the biggest wind and waves. Let's take a boat trip on the river together Just as happy."

Everyone applauded and was about to turn over and leave, but suddenly someone said: "Wait a minute."

However, Shen Bian, who had been standing silently all this time, strode forward, cupped his hands at Xie Hua and said with a smile: "Brother Xie, I want to try sailing this light boat."

Everyone was shocked.Especially Xie Ling's color changed almost suddenly, and he blurted out: "Shen Bing, are you crazy?"

"Yes, Liangqing," Xie Hua hurriedly persuaded, "The wind is high and the waves are strong at this time, why should we take this risk? It's the same when we come back another day when the weather is good."

However, the always docile Shen Bing walked to the dock without hesitation, and said with a calm smile: "It's okay, I grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, so I still have some water qualities. Besides, such a magnificent view of huge waves , You have to go with the flow in order to get the true flavor.”

A few daring sons and brothers all laughed loudly, clamoring that they would also "go with the flow" together.Xie Hua had no choice but to wave to his followers and order them to bring the painting boat parked at the pier over, just in case of emergency.

And taking advantage of no one's attention, Xie Ling grabbed Shen Bing, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Shen, Liang, Qing, you don't want to die?"

There was an imperceptible sneer at the corner of Shen Tie's mouth, and he stopped his gaze like a cold wave in October on Xie Ling's distorted face due to anger, and asked: "I don't want to die? Don't you think I don't want to die?" Have you always been a hypocrite who is wise and safe, stays out of the way, and always only cares about himself. How can a person like me not want to die?"

Xie Ling choked suddenly, and immediately flew into a rage: "Is that what I said?!"

"That's basically what it means." Shen Yan sneered, "I'm calm and self-retaining, you blame me for being ruthless; I want to be impulsive, but you blame me for not wanting to die. Go away and thank him, it's not your turn to control me today .”

After saying that, he pulled back his sleeves, untied a light boat, and jumped onto the deck.

Xie Qin on the shore was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, he yelled and picked a boat and boarded it.

The light boat they drove was made of a tree trunk. The boat was narrow enough for only one person to sit, and the hull was not very large and the draft was very shallow.This kind of boat is blown very fast by the wind, but it is very difficult to control the balance. There is no other tool to use except a piece of wood paddle equipped with it. It can be said that it can only be resigned to fate when it reaches an open place.

However, when Shen Yi raised his oar and knocked against the shore, the boat was immediately sucked into the wind and waves like falling willow leaves, and it was already three zhang away from the shore in an instant.Xie Ling stared wide-eyed, afraid that if he didn't pay attention to the light boat in front of him, he would be swallowed by the waves into the river.His heart was beating wildly, and he frantically paddled his oar to catch up, but the wind and waves did not follow his wishes, no matter how hard he tried, he was still a long way away from Shen Bing.

In an instant, the two of them had reached the widest part of the river.If the water surface is calm at this time, it is indeed a pleasure to sit here alone in a light boat and watch the tens of thousands of green hills on both sides of the bank rise and fall.

However, at this moment, Xie Ling was holding on to the hull of the boat, he was dizzy by the ups and downs of the light boat, and almost didn't spit out. accident.In addition, the whole body of clothes was wet by the river water, and the whole person was in a mess, so how could he have any intention to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the river and mountains?

"Liangqing—" The two of them were already in Jiangxin, and no one else could hear their conversation, so Xie Ling raised his voice and shouted, "Stop making trouble! Come back with me!"

I don't know if Shen Ting heard it, but he turned his head and glanced at Xie Qin coldly, and he put his oar across his knees and actually looked up to appreciate the scenery on both sides of the strait.

Xie Ling cursed loudly, and was about to raise his voice to shout again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a huge wave came towards him, and the handful of river water was fed into Xie Sangongzi Zhang Zhang as impartially as if it had been specially prepared for him. mouth.

"...Bah bah—cough—bah!"

Even if there was any monstrous anger, it was completely suffocated at this time.Xie Ling lay on the boat and coughed earth-shatteringly, then retched heartily and retched a few times, until finally he was convinced.

"Liang Qing—" He wanted to call Shen Bing, and wanted to tell him that he had surrendered, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore.However, before he could say a word, he suddenly felt a sharp shock under his body, and after a while, there was a "plop", and the river water swallowed him as if covering the sky and covering the sun——

Xie Third Young Master, fell into the water.

Xie Ling's mind was still blank until he fell into the water, as if he couldn't believe that he had really capsized.However, when the icy river water poured into his throat and nasal cavity, he suddenly reacted, struggling and dragging desperately to go to the surface of the water.

At this time, he heard the sound of falling into the water, and then amidst the tumbling chaos and turbulent air bubbles, he caught a glimpse of a white figure breaking through the waves, and it was behind him in an instant.Immediately, he felt his waist tighten, and a force lifted him out of the water.

The fresh air hit, Xie Jin coughed frantically and breathed greedily at the same time.And the person supporting him was as nimble as a fine sea fish, holding him with one hand and paddling the water with the other, with his slender legs kicking hard a few times, he climbed onto the light boat floating aside.

Immediately after that, there was a loud shouting and greetings coming from not far away, Xie Yin seemed to be lifted up again by someone in a trance, and climbed onto another boat with his back on his back, and then he was laid flat on a more open On the deck of the boat, a pair of powerful hands pressed hard on his chest a few times.Xie Qin suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of river water, and only then did he fully wake up.

The first thing that catches the eye is Shen Bing, who is kneeling beside him.Just like him, Shen Bing's whole body is already soaked, and the pattering drops of water are rolling down his pale and beautiful cheeks, like a Molan crabapple wet by the spring rain, but it looks pretty tight.

His eyes were full of tension, and he was slightly relieved when he saw Xie Jin open his eyes.Xiuchang's fingers tightened the clothes on Xie Ling's chest, and it took him a while to hear him scold in a low voice: "Nonsense."

"I, cough cough, am I messing around?" Xie Qin was so angry that he almost turned away, "Who jumped into the river when there was a disagreement? You scared me out of my wits, you know? And you said I was messing around ?”

Shen Bing blinked his eyes, his expression was a bit complicated, after a long silence, he whispered: "...It is indeed my nonsense."

Xie Ling snorted, and just wanted to say a few more words to him, but heard him sigh again: "I rarely mess around in my life... Xie Rangzhi, what kind of ecstasy did you give me?"
