For whom do you linger [The Loyal Dog Guard Shou]

The wind blew all night last night, and when I got up in the morning, there were snowflakes floating outside the window. After noon, the snow not only did not stop, but also became bigger and bigger.

He Lianqing walked from the small courtyard rented by the two to Wu's shop, but within a few steps, he was covered in snow.He was dressed in silver fox fur and a hood, which almost melted into the snow.The snowflakes fell on it silently, looking from a distance, without a trace, as if a snowman was walking slowly.If it weren't for the white breath that came out of his mouth, no one would be able to find his whereabouts with a blink of an eye.

The heavy snow was really affecting the sight, and He Lianqing didn't make sure that Luo Zheng was not here until he stood still at the door of the sweet cake shop.

He was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask, the sister-in-law of the Wu family recognized him.

"Hey Mr. Zhuang is here, is he here to look for Xiao Luo?" The sister-in-law of the Wu family poked her head out from the door and greeted with a smile.

She only knew Luo Zheng's name, but not Helian Qing's. A month ago, she had heard Luo Zheng call He Lianqing "Villa Master" very by chance, and thought that Helianqing's surname was Zhuang.I called him once before, but He Lianqing didn't explain it. When he got home, because someone was too hard to hold back his laughter, he "showed mercy" and took good care of the person inside and out. Since then Luo Zheng didn't dare to mention this matter again.

Now He Lianqing still didn't intend to explain, just nodded when he heard the words, secretly thinking about where his people could go, feeling a little displeased in his heart, it's really too cold, if it froze people, it would be uncomfortable he.

There are no customers in the shop right now, Mrs. Wu seems to be packing up her things, presumably they plan to sell the remaining sweet cakes and prepare to go home for the New Year.

Aunt Wu warmly welcomed He Lian into the house, and Boss Wu also called "Mr. Zhuang" with a smile.He Lianqing returned a smile very politely, looking like a handsome young man.

Sister-in-law Wu greeted, "Your brother and I are closing soon, take away the remaining sweet cakes, and make a few boxes for you and Xiao Luo to take home later."

"Yes, take more." Boss Wu chatted while busy.

Helian thanked him with a smile, and Mrs. Wu babbled to him one sentence after another: "You see it's snowing so hard today, and I'm really sorry to let Xiao Luo go for a trip."

While speaking, she took a closer look at the person in fox fur in front of her, and said softly: "Oh, look at the snow hanging on this body, it's freezing!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to help Helian Qing pat off the snow on the fox fur, and even tore off the hood. Just as she was about to shake off all the snow hanging on it, a slender hand stretched out.

Seemingly a flash in front of his eyes, He Lianqing had already stood back at the door.

He didn't take any precautions at first, so he called her to attack, he froze for a moment, and almost used his internal strength.He is really not used to being so close to outsiders, even if they do this with good intentions and no intention of offending.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Please tell me, where is Luo Zheng?" Helian smiled, and spoke in a gentle manner, as if nothing happened just now.

Mrs. Wu was taken aback, but soon looked at He Lianqing with a kind face, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, didn't he say it? He is at home."

Boss Wu was wearing an apron, and his hands seemed to be still covered with flour. He turned his head and urged, "What are you waiting for? Go home, Xiao Luo and the others are also celebrating the New Year, so don't waste your time."

Although Aunt Wu was a little bit sorry, she was not happy after hearing this: "I'm not afraid that you won't be able to carry so many things by yourself? Or can I trouble Xiao Luo?" I put the sweet cakes into the box and took off the apron.

"I'll figure it out on my own. Take Mr. Zhuang home quickly, and bring the sweet cakes and dumplings..." He said halfway, and then directed at Helian, "Your sister-in-law can't do anything else, she's not good at cooking. Excellent, these are dumplings stuffed with fennel, you two should take some back home and cook them for a taste. It will be thirty tomorrow, and your sister-in-law and I will make some beef stuffing, and I will send them to you. God, thanks to Ronaldinho!"

Although He Lianqing was very curious, but seeing how busy the two of them were in front of him, and how they had promised so much delicious food eagerly, it was really hard to bother him anymore, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm not urging him to go home, Just go find it, the two of you will be busy first."

This is exactly what Mrs. Wu wanted, she said heartily: "Succeed, you go and sit at home first, I will go back right away with your elder brother!"

"Oh, you..." Brother Wu wanted to say something more, but he was glared at by Mrs. Wu, but he also held back, but his hands moved faster, as if he wanted to finish work early and go home quickly.

He Lianqing said goodbye to the two of them, and after walking not far away, he could vaguely hear the voices in the shop, probably talking about Luo Zheng's hard work and helping him a lot, and at the end he said something about not being a bad person...

He Lianqing had no intention of distinguishing, shook his head with a smile, and walked towards the small courtyard of the Wu family with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

This is a world of ice and snow, and someone went to guard the house?

He Lianqing became more and more curious, and in the end he simply used lightness kung fu, and with one move, Treading Xue Wuhen, he arrived near Wu's house in a blink of an eye.The courtyard has no high walls built with bricks and tiles, but is only loosely surrounded by low wooden fences. Two not-so-straight tree trunks form a simple gate, pasted with festive Spring Festival couplets, and hung two red lanterns. .

From a distance, there is almost no shelter.

He took two steps forward very slowly, and saw the mighty Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong on the wide open wooden door, and there was an unknown fruit tree in the courtyard, the bare trunk was covered with snow, and the surrounding area was a vast expanse of whiteness. The courtyards, low-rise houses, and even the upside-down stickers of the word "Fu" are full of fireworks.

That dazzling warmth seemed to be a barrier, preventing people from getting any closer. The two figures, one big and one small under the tree, pinned Helian Qing in place so vividly.

There was a fleeting look of confusion on He Lianqing's face, and the brows were slightly furrowed and then slowly relaxed, which was not as good as the half of the turmoil in his heart.

His people were having fun with a child in the snowy courtyard.

The child looked only three or four years old, dressed thickly, and ran like a cotton ball bouncing in the snow, attracting all the attention of the tall man next to him.

Luo Zheng didn't wear his cloak, but luckily the wind was low at this time, but the falling snowflakes were bigger.He squatted there, and when the child ran around the tree and rushed towards him, he took off the sable apron around his neck and rolled it into a hat, put it on his head, and then patted it lightly. Let go and watch him run around the tree again.

After running around, he was about to throw himself into Luo Zheng's arms, and before he hugged him tightly, he got up and ran out again. After running like this for an unknown amount of time, Luo Zheng suddenly stood up.

He Lianqing smiled, standing firmly in the wind and snow, as if the sound of falling snow was everywhere, and he couldn't hear a word of the child's laughter, and he didn't know what Luo Zheng said to the child with his eyes squinting.

The one, one, and one were in a stalemate, Luo Zheng was too tall, and the child raised his head while supporting his hat, bouncing up and down in protest.Luo Zheng squatted down again, straightened the collared hat with his big hands, then wiped the sweat off the child's cheeks with his thumbs, coaxing him patiently.

Not knowing how to reach a consensus, Luo Zheng stretched out his arms and picked up the child with one hand.

He Lianqing couldn't help laughing, he thought he knew all about Luo Zheng, had seen all his expressions, heard all his tone, understood all his emotions... But the Luo Zheng right now was something he had never thought of. It was also something he couldn't imagine.

I saw Luo Zheng holding the child in his arms with one hand, circling the fruit tree, raising his breath lightly, and performing a light kung fu while wiping the snow.He Lianqing could see clearly, but for a child, it was like suddenly growing wings.

As if flying around the tree in the blink of an eye, the child danced excitedly in Luo Zheng's arms, giggled while hugging Luo Zheng's neck, and finally returned to the house contentedly.

The courtyard became quiet, the snow was falling and gradually stopped, people in the wind forgot the cold.The footprints when he came here had already been covered by snow, and the surroundings were too quiet, no matter how many times Helian Qing's heart turned back and forth, it gradually turned into ice.

He chuckled slightly, remembering that when he left the sweet shop just now, what they said at the end was——

"Whoever likes children is not a bad person."

When people are not in the yard, he can't see and don't want to imagine the scene inside the house.He stood where he was, recalling carefully, when did Luo Zheng show affection for the child?

The answer is: never.

Luo Zheng has always been bad at expressing his emotions, and he likes to be so indifferent that only He Lianqing, who cares about him wholeheartedly, can see some clues when he gets along day and night.

But He Lianqing didn't know that he liked children.

Naturally, He Lianqing wouldn't think about things that wouldn't happen, but things that don't think about might not happen.

He stared down at the white snow on the ground, waiting for his people to come out, even if it had nothing to do with whether he liked children or not, the things he had kept from him for days still needed an explanation.

The twelfth lunar month of winter is indeed true, it is so cold that people start to tremble in their hearts.

But no one in this world is better at keeping calm than him, Bai Leng's face is so calm that it seems as if he just stops to admire the snow, without showing the slightest trace.

After half a day in Shenshi, it started to get dark, and not long after, the Wus and his wife came back with their companions. When they approached, they found that He Lianqing was waiting outside the courtyard, apologetically but enthusiastically wanting to take him home to warm up for a while.

"No need, please trouble sister-in-law to tell Luo Zheng to go home." He Lianqing was as gentle and polite as ever, but couldn't hide the distance and coldness in his tone.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as the two entered the room, Luo Zheng pushed the door and walked out the next moment.Before he put on his cloak, he looked over from the doorway, his searching eyes fixed on He Lianqing, and he walked quickly.Before leaving the yard, he was surrounded by Brother Ang and Mrs. Wu who were chasing him out again. They stuffed a food box and wrapped it in his arms, but he kept looking in the direction of He Lianqing and hardly averted his eyes. At this time, he tried to refuse. After a while, I couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the two of them, so I nodded my thanks, turned around and left without waiting for a reply.

Mrs. Wu was still yelling something loudly, but Luo Zheng couldn't hear a word, he only saw the person standing in the snow, and his heart tightened tightly.

When he heard that this person was waiting outside, he panicked just now. Aunt Wu said that he went to the shop more than an hour ago. By now, he might have been frozen through, so why didn't he see him just now...

Luo Zheng hasn't figured out how to explain the events of the past few days, but right now he clearly just wants to ask if the person in front of him is cold.

But a few steps away, the thick snow on the ground creaked and creaked together with his rapid heartbeat, shaking his eardrums together.

He heard himself say, "It's too cold, why is the owner waiting here?"

He Lianqing seemed to smile a bit, maybe his face was frozen, and he looked expressionless again.

He raised his hand to straighten the velvet collar that Luo Zheng had worn on the child's head not long ago, pulled the cloak he had put on indiscriminately, and then took the food box in his hand.

"Your subordinates do it yourself." Luo Zheng stretched out the oiled paper bag containing sweet cake dumplings with one hand.

He Lianqing took his outstretched hand and said in a low voice, "Go home."

The hand holding him was as cold as ice, Luo Zheng felt that he even trembled at that moment, and he held it back, the temperature in his palm lost rapidly, and he couldn't warm those cold fingers at all.

He tightened his hands with that person, and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I..."

He Lianqing interrupted him without emotion, and said: "The wind is too strong, let's talk when we go back."

Walking all the way back, the sky was getting darker and darker, and there were lights and festoons everywhere. They passed through the lights of thousands of houses together, amidst the sound of firecrackers one after another, under the fireworks blooming in the sky, they occasionally stopped to take a look.I also hung lanterns at home, and bought these things that are necessary for the New Year.Tonight is New Year's Eve, but He Lianqing has lost interest. This is the first time that only the two of them celebrate the New Year together. What was originally novel and interesting has lost its appeal now.

He stood in the ice and snow for so long, restraining his unreasonable anger. Among the many complicated and unspeakable emotions, he didn't want to be angry with Luo Zheng alone.

What's wrong with liking children.
