see the gentleman

It was midsummer, and there were cicadas singing outside the small courtyard, the sun was covered by thick shade, the leaves were shiny green, and a bunch of plump and juicy peaches hung heavily from the branches.

Flowers in spring, fruits in summer.

Bai Chen was almost recovering from his injuries, looking at the numerous peach branches on the tree, he felt a little moved.

The peach blossoms that could not be sent before have now borne fruit.

Pick one every day, so that when that person comes, you can still give him the most tender and plump one.

When it was time to pick the eighth one, Ji Yun arrived at the courtyard with his own soldiers.

The walls of the courtyard were not high, and people outside rode past, and people inside the wall could see each other's faces as soon as they raised their heads.

Ji Yun looked at him across the wall, as if he regarded himself as a gentleman who came to steal incense and jade, with a coquettish smile on his brows and eyes, he even picked a peach from a branch protruding beside him, and opened his mouth Just one bite.

Then the hand holding the peach stretched out towards him, Bai Chen saw his mouth shape, and he said, "Come out, I'm here to pick you up."

Before Bai Chen opened the door and went out, he was still thinking: What should I do, the peaches that were meant to be given to him were first picked and eaten by himself.

There was a tender, sweet distress at the heart of feeling that my little trick was going nowhere again.

He always seemed to be a little behind, whether it was enlightenment, temptation, or confession, there was always a gap between them, and this person was always one step ahead of him.

And he tried his best and tried his best, but he still couldn't catch up with that step.

Bai Chen pushed open the door, just as Ji Yun jumped off the horse, he stuffed the peach to Shu next to him, his brows and eyes were still naturally affectionate, and he smiled gently at everyone.

He said to the man: "This peach is very sweet, you have a taste."

Ji Yun really didn't understand why a good-looking person would get angry when he saw him.

I worked so hard to bring someone to pick him up, but ended up with a hot face and a cold ass, and I felt weird for a while.

Bai Chen's injuries are not yet fully healed, so he shouldn't move too much. Ji Yun asked someone to bring him another carriage, which was fully equipped with backrest and soft pillows, and accompanied by two clever little maids. Ji Yun himself took Shu to sit in the carriage. another car.

The cars and horses did not stop all the way, and the two of them did not speak all the way.

It was time to settle down and rest at night, so we met each other in the stack.

The journey was bumpy, and Bai Chen was injured, but now his expression was not very good. He was standing at the door, and Ji Yun happened to look over and meet his eyes.

Ji Yun was slightly taken aback by the other party's expression.

"Your Majesty, the bed has been made."

Shu's voice sounded softly beside him, Ji Yun came back to his senses, smiled and hummed to Shu.

Pretending to look over casually again, Bai Chen's eyes had already turned away.

The other party stood there with his back straight, his face was pale and indifferent, his jaw was slightly tense and raised, showing a kind of indifference that rejected people for thousands of miles.

That point seemed to be a trace of sadness, as if it was just an illusion of his eyes.

As the night deepened, Shu also fell asleep outside.

Ji Yun was lying on the bed. He couldn't sleep, but he didn't dare to turn over. Shu's sleep is very light now, and if he moves, he might wake Shu up.

He didn't ask Shu how she has lived these past few years. If she thinks about it, she should know, how can an overly beautiful person who has nothing but beauty and no support, walking alone in the world, not fall into the den of wolves and tigers? ?

It was he who gave up protecting this walking flower, causing it to fall into the dust and be trampled and humiliated by others.

He once wanted to change Shu's fate, but in the end he found that what he did was in vain. He couldn't even say whether Shu in this life was more tragic than the previous one.

What have you done since your rebirth?What has really changed?

Everyone's ending was once in his memory, he once thought that he had everything under control, that he could change everything, but behind everyone he couldn't see, there seemed to be a thread of their own, they were connected and entangled Unclear, he moved this part, and the other part also moved along with it. In the end, they were still dragged into the roulette wheel called fate.No one can escape.

He opened his eyes, staring at the dark bed curtain above his head.

In the quiet darkness, his heart shrank one after another, making a deafening sound, and he was about to have difficulty breathing.

Intermittent coughing came from the next door, probably the soundproofing of the room is not good, and the beds are all next to the wall, so if there is any movement next door, you can hear it clearly from here.

Ji Yun thought for a moment who lived next door.

Now I can't sleep anymore.

He listened quietly for a while, remembering that he saw that person at the door just now, his expression was really not good.

Is it a recurrence of the injury?

But that man was so brave that even the doctor refused to take him with him when he left.

What if it gets worse?

Unconsciously turned over a few times, and then the lights in the room were turned on warmly. As expected, Shu was awakened by him and came over holding the light.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Shu asked in a low voice, "But didn't you sleep well?"

He was very careful in his movements and voice, lest the oil from the lamp would drip onto the bed, and carefully protected the lamp with one hand.Two pieces of hot oil splashed into his palm, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

Ji Yun remembered that when he was still by her side, she was afraid that he would frostbite her hands, and refused to let him cover her with ice. After a long time, she was really spoiled by him, and she usually didn't even touch rough objects. It was raised to be white, tender and delicate, as smooth as fat jade.

Now under the candlelight, those hands are full of cracks, and half of a fingernail has fallen off, and it hasn't grown back yet.

Ji Yun felt a slight pain in his heart, and sighed silently.

His pampering for beauties, I am afraid that he will not be able to correct it in several lifetimes.

He grabbed Shu's hand and blew gently on the other's palm: "I won't call you in the future, so you can sleep peacefully without getting up."

"You've come back." He squeezed his palm comfortingly again, his voice was very soft, almost gentle, "you don't have to be afraid."

I don't know if it's because of the itching, but Shu's hands were shaking all the time, and then her eyelashes were also trembling. Suddenly a teardrop rolled out of his eye, and then the teardrops fell continuously like a thread.

He cried violently and silently, his shoulders trembled, as if he would lose his breath at any time, even so, he still didn't dare to indulge himself too much, and let out wailing sounds that might be disgusting, as if he had had enough of those dark days I am so afraid that I may be abandoned again.

When the beauty cried like this, Ji Yun couldn't bear to criticize her no matter how many accusations she had.

He stroked Shu's back, wanting to comfort her again, but the coughing from next door became more and more intense, and the flustered sound made the listeners a little frightened.

Ji Yun became impatient, he patted the back of Shu's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "You have a good rest, don't think about those bad things anymore.

"I'll go take a look."

So he hurried to bed, without enough coat, opened the door and went out.
