Lock Xin

A light blue figure stood quietly beside the bookshelf, his body under the oversized robe was extremely thin, and the slightly open collar could hardly conceal the slender and fair collarbone.Wang Mo put the generally thick scroll on the top of the scroll, his sleeves slid down, and the wrist bones between his arms were very abrupt.

Wang Mo counted the number of scrolls. He looked at the remaining thin book in his hand, his eyes were confused, and he didn't know where to put it.He turned around and wanted to ask Gai Xiong, Wang Mo looked at Gai Xiong's sleeping face lying on the table, slowly closed his thin lips, put the scroll in his hand aside, and walked over quietly.

Wang Mo leaned down slightly and looked at Gai Xiong's handsome face at close range. He saw the faint tiredness between Gai Xiong's brows and eyes, and felt a little distressed. Gai Xiong went to bed late last night, and today he got up early to attend the palace meeting. He was extremely tired, and looking at the piles of books on Gai Xiong's desk, he didn't dare to speak too much to dissuade him.

Wang Mo straightened up, took off his coat and put it on Gai Xiong's body. He looked at the slightly opened window in the distance, and wanted to walk over and close it. Unexpectedly, Gai Xiong reached out and held his fingertips. Wang Mo mistook him for waking him up. Leaving Gai Xiong, there was a little regret in his eyes.

"Xiao Xie, don't go." Gai Xiong murmured, his slightly closed eyes still closed as if he was still in a deep sleep.

Wang Mo's heart sank suddenly, mixed with a touch of pain, he had known for a long time that Gai Xiong often regarded his back as someone he missed, and even the kindness he treated him at the beginning was all due to his very familiar figure .But he has stayed in the mansion for many days, he looked at the concern in Gai Xiong's eyes, and even mistakenly thought that Gai Xiong had a slight affection for him.Wang Mo didn't expect that Gai Xiong's whole heart would be his figure, even if he had a little bit of it. Now he really understands that Gai Xiong's heart is only for Xiao Xie, and he has always been a substitute. If Xiao Xie really came back, Gai Xiong might not see him again.

Wang Mo's hand dropped heavily, hanging in mid-air, and he couldn't even raise any strength, and there was a hint of despair in his eyes.Those Gai Xiong got drunk and mistook him for Xiao Xie hugging him in his arms, he already knew everything, why should he lie to himself these days and expect Gai Xiong to see him.

Gai Xiong seemed to feel empty in his arms, panicked in his heart, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wang Mo's back, and the words in his heart blurted out in an instant, "Xiao Xie, um, Wang Mo."

Wang Mo smiled sadly, and slowly turned around to look at Gai Xiong, "Who is Xiao Xie?" He had never met Gai Xiong's sweetheart, and he didn't even know how to be jealous.Or it may offend Gai Xiong, but he still wants to ask the words that have been hidden in his heart for many days.

"He grew up with me since childhood, and later passed away because he saved me." Gai Xiong said slowly, with deep pain in his eyes.If it wasn't for his determination back then, perhaps Xiao Xie would still be living by his side well. It was because he was sorry for Xiao Xie, but he hadn't done anything for Xiao Xie for many years.

Wang Mo suddenly took a step back. Xiao Xie originally held a very important position in Gai Xiong's heart, but he had passed away long ago. I am afraid that no one will be able to replace Xiao Xie in the future.And he stayed in the mansion for many days, accompanied by Gai Xiong's side, so what, maybe he just pretended to be sentimental.

"You miss him very much." Wang Mo looked at the uncontrollable sadness on Gai Xiong's face, maybe it was not just a simple yearning, otherwise Gai Xiong would not be so drunk that day.

Gai Xiong nodded. After many years, he could still dream of Xiao Xie holding his hand before he died, and the blood slowly dripping from his body. He regretted the past, but everything is irreparable.

"So you looked at my figure and remembered the old man who passed away." Wang Mo held the edge of the table with a little force, he stayed only to let Gai Xiong feel the warmth of the old man by his side, but he was not willing to do so , and now he can't do the warmth of leaving for so many days.

Gai Xiong lowered his head slightly. Wang Mo's figure was really similar to Xiao Xie's back. He couldn't help calling out Xiao Xie's name many times. He knew that Xiao Xie had already left.

"Sorry, I was confused just now." Gai Xiong looked at Wang Mo apologetically, but no one would want to be the shadow of another person. Although Gai Xiong let Wang Mo stay in the mansion, he never expected to treat Wang Mo as his own Thank you for looking at it.He will try his best to avoid repeating this mistake in the future.

Wang Mo slowly turned sideways to look into the distance, trying to hide the hurt on his face, perhaps it wasn't that Gai Xiong was confused, but Gai Xiong had always regarded him as Xiao Xie. "You don't have to apologize to me." He was the one who promised to stay in the general's mansion, so he deserved to bear this matter.

Wang Mo turned around and walked towards the closed door. Gai Xiong was heartbroken for his lost lover. He could blame Gai Xiong for nothing, but why didn't Gai Xiong tell him about Xiao Xie at the beginning? He is not a fool, and he will find out over time The affection buried in Gai Xiong's heart, but he still foolishly expects that Gai Xiong's kindness towards him is all out of liking.

Looking at Wang Mo's back, Gai Xiong opened his mouth and called out, "Where are you going?"

"The scrolls have been sorted out, so I won't stay in the study to disturb you. You can deal with affairs at ease." Wang Mo paused, and the hope in his heart gradually disappeared.

"It's almost noon, you stay and have lunch with me." Gai Xiong wanted to get up and grab Wang Mo's sleeve, but he saw that Wang Mo stopped and sat slowly at the table.

"Xiao Xie has always accompanied you for dinner." Wang Mo said softly, he finally understood the reason why Gai Xiong let him stay in the study all day long. Not Xiaoxie.

"You don't have to worry about it, I'm just talking casually." Wang Mo looked at Gai Xiong's slightly frowning brows, and opened his mouth and said, if he angered Gai Xiong, he might not be able to stay in the mansion in the future.

"Xiao Mo, don't get me wrong, I was just talking in my dream, I didn't mistake your figure for Xiao Xie." Gai Xiong knew Wang Mo's reluctance, but sometimes he couldn't help himself, and he really couldn't suppress the feelings in his heart .

Wang Mo shook his head slightly, he was the real Gai Xiong just now, and usually Gai Xiong hides his heart deep, he has no idea that Gai Xiong misses Xiao Xie so much, even after so many years, it is still extremely painful .

"What happened just now is over, you don't need to say any more." Wang Mo didn't want to listen to Gai Xiong's perfunctory explanation, he was willing to stay by Gai Xiong's side, just for the sake of Gai Xiong's treatment of him, but it didn't mean that he Willing to be Xiao Xie's stand-in.

Wang Mo struggled in his heart. If Gai Xiong could never forget Xiao Xie in his heart, would he be willing to stay with Gai Xiong safely? But he knew that Gai Xiong would never forget Xiao Xie, and he was not willing to leave Gai Xiong .

Gai Xiong swallowed the words in his mouth, he got up and walked to Wang Mo, "Today the chef made some new dishes, and Xiao Mo can try them later." He didn't want Wang Mo's face to be stained with pain, let alone this All the hurt comes from him.

Wang Mo looked at the flattery on Gai Xiong's face and nodded slowly. If he insisted on not letting go of this matter, it might be even more difficult for him to stay in the study in the future, and how could he accept that Gai Xiong regarded him as a Another person.

Gai Xiong stepped forward and hugged Wang Mo's sleeves and sat at the table. He picked up a plate of delicate pastries and placed them in front of Wang Mo. "You said that you need to eat for a while, if you eat cakes now, you won't be able to eat." Wang Mo looked at Gai Xiong's mild face, he still doesn't like to develop this habit of eating desserts before meals.

"But one or two pieces is not a big problem." Seeing that Wang Mo was determined not to make a move, Gai Xiong reached out to pick up a piece of pastry and fed it to Wang Mo, his slender knuckles were stained with bits of debris.

Reluctantly, Wang Mo opened his mouth. After biting the pastry with his white teeth, the warm liquid slowly overflowed, filling his mouth with a thick milky fragrance.

Wang Mo's complexion became very pale in an instant, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, he stretched out his hand and pressed hard on the side of the table, his fingertips turned slightly white.

"What's wrong with Xiao Mo? Is there something wrong with the pastry?" Gai Xiong looked extremely worried. He lightly supported Wang Mo's shoulder, reached out and took a piece of pastry into his mouth carefully. It was sweeter than the one on the street without a trace strange.

"I'm fine." Wang Mo shook his head slightly, his mind was filled with the scene of him brutally pushing Gai Xiong onto the bed that day, he hated his wrongdoing very much, Gai Xiong had always treated him with great concern, but he How could he humiliate Gai Xiong like this, the guilt hidden in his heart has not faded for many days.

"You really don't hate me?" Wang Mo said softly, his eyes were full of confusion.The events of that day seemed to have really passed away, Gai Xiong never punished him, let alone mentioned a word.

"What do I hate you for?" Gai Xiong frowned, he didn't understand why Wang Mo said such words suddenly.

Wang Mo shook his head and covered it up, "I don't like custard."

"Didn't you like it very much before?" Gai Xiong even asked the cook to improve the taste, but Wang Mo suddenly didn't like it.

Seeing that Gai Xiong stretched his fingertips towards the pastry plate, Wang Mo reached out and patted the back of his hand, "If you eat any more, you will delay your meal."

Gai Xiong put down his hand, looked at the maid who was holding the tray sideways, he stretched out his hand and pushed the tray aside.

"This is the new dish you mentioned." Wang Mo looked at the table full of food, although it was delicious, it was not different from the past.

Gai Xiong was depressed for a while, he just changed the topic casually just now, unexpectedly Wang Mo was really serious.

Wang Mo looked at Gai Xiong's face, smiled slightly, bowed his head and ate the vegetables, and stopped discussing this matter.

"You should eat more vegetables, even if you always eat rice, it won't taste good." Gai Xiong put some vegetables into Wang Mo's bowl. He stared at Wang Mo's meal every day, but he didn't see how fat Wang Mo was, or Wang Mo's physique. for the sake.

"You can eat, don't worry about me." Wang Mo put the food in the bowl into his mouth, and ate very attentively. If Gai Xiong didn't care about him, why did he care about him so much? Could it be because of Xiao Xie, Wang Mo? Mo didn't believe it, he was willing to wait forever for that glimmer of hope.

"If I don't care about you, you'll be living for nothing all day long." Gai Xiong sighed slightly, he really didn't know what kind of training the Central Plains dark guards had undergone, it was almost painless and tasteless.

Taking advantage of Gai Xiong's stunned gap, Wang Mo put some vegetables into his bowl, lowered his head and watched Gai Xiong's face secretly with the rice in the bowl.
