"Dongjun?"

Tang Ruilang seemed to be trying hard to recall the name: "Oh, that's—"

"It's already this time, is it... do you want to continue to lie?!"

Lu You interrupted him, and his voice even changed slightly because of excitement.

"I already know everything - Dongjun and Nanjun were childhood sweethearts, and they had a deep friendship since childhood. And you were fostered in Nanjun's mansion when you were young, so I heard Zhao Nanxing tell many stories about Dongjun. Zhao Nanxing please You take care of Zhao Yang. But you firmly don't believe that that idiot Zhao Yang is Dong Jun's reincarnation...

"Until one day, the former Chongwenguan scholar and then Guozijian Jijiu discovered that I was taken by my father to take the exam, so he ran to tell you and Qi Yunchu that I was admitted to the Taixue with an exception! I asked But you, why did you find me in the first place, but you didn't say anything!"

"Zoran, calm down, listen to me..."

Now that the matter has come to this point, no matter how unexpected Tang Ruilang is, he can guess who told Lu You all this.Continuing to prevaricate will only increase the gap, he sighed deeply, trying to make a reasonable explanation.

"That's right. I hid some things from you... But I don't think the concealment was wrong. You just entered the palace at that time, and you were always worried about it, and you had to deal with a dangerous King Xuan. If I told you Too much, and I'm afraid you won't be able to take it at all."

"Accept or not, that should be decided by myself, not you to decide for me!"

Lu You has emphasized similar requirements many times, but now he just feels annoyed and powerless.

He was quiet for a moment, and then opened his mouth again with red eyes.

"When I was in Tianwu Palace, I once said... I mustered up all my courage to accept you. But I never thought that I gave you my heart and soul, but you passed me , looking at another person..."

"Is it Dongjun or you, is there any difference?"

Although he vaguely felt that something was inappropriate, Tang Ruilang, who was eager to defend himself, couldn't help it and raised his voice.

"Yes, I did hear Uncle Anle talk about Dongjun's past. I really admired him back then... But Dongjun was already dead when I was born, and Zhao Yang It's just a skin bag full of bad water. Whether you like it or not, believe it or not... In my eyes, you are Dong Jun, isn't that wrong?"

"How could there be nothing wrong?!"

Lu You was stunned by his yelling, and when she came back to her senses, her red eyes quickly became moist.

"Open your eyes and take a good look at the person in front of you... He used to be called Zuo Lan, but now he is called Lu You... But he was never Zhao Xu, not Dong Jun! He was just a down-and-out kid with both parents dead. A poor eunuch who keeps going every step of the way! If it weren't for this face, he would either be on the street or be exiled for thousands of miles... And you, you wouldn't even know my existence, wouldn't stay by my side with jokes, wouldn't give me a handout smile!"

"What are you talking about... How could I not know your existence?"

The wine I drank along the way seemed to be starting to work.Tang Ruilang held his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes.

"Don't be awkward anymore. No matter what, there will always be only one you in this world... I'm really dizzy now, and I don't have the heart to make you happy anymore."

"When Mr. Tang was winning the laurels in the Toad Palace, and in the midst of his busy schedule, he was able to come over and coax me. I am really flattered."

The resentment reached the extreme, but Lu You calmed down, stood up and bowed to Tang Ruilang: "It's getting late, don't dare to delay Mr. Tang's serious business, please!"

Tang Ruilang froze for a moment before realizing that he had been ordered to evict the guest.

He stood up unsteadily, took a few steps towards the door, and suddenly turned his head to look at Lu You.

"What exactly do I need to do... so that you don't stop being angry?"

Lu You didn't answer, but walked quickly towards Rui Lang, passed him by, and disappeared at the end of the long corridor outside the door.

With a sound of "touch", the copper jug ​​in Tang Ruilang's hand fell to the ground.The little wine left spilled from the dropped agate cork, and the aroma of the wine floated in the air, and soon there was no trace to be found.

The clump of peonies that were carefully served in the Lu family's medicine garden were not reused in the end.Tang Ruilang didn't even go to his garden to pick up the prepared flower as promised.

Therefore, after Xinke Jinshi returned to the Quehua Pool one after another, compared the picked flowers with each other, and wrote poems and poems for a long time, they saw Tanhualang come back riding his precious black horse, but his hands were empty.

According to the custom of Wenxi Banquet, Tanhua should be punished if he misses.However, at this moment, no one dared to stand up and say a half-joke to Tang Ruilang who smelled of alcohol and had a gloomy face.

The banquet of Wenxi did not hear any sound of joy, but ended with unusual dullness.

After returning to the Tang mansion, Tang Ruilang walked quickly into the courtyard where he lived alone, locked the door, and then swept everything in sight to the ground.

The sound of broken porcelain and glass drew the attention of the servants, but no one dared to approach.

Because everyone in the house knows that this noble young man who is like many stars holds the moon, although he is kind to others most of the time, he also has an extremely stubborn personality. any effect.

It's really a tiger father but no dog son in a sense.

After a vent, the house finally returned to calm.Tang Ruilang sat in the dark room, looking at the mess everywhere.Resting his head on one hand, he fell into deep thought.

What did I do wrong?

In Lu's house, Lu You's heartbroken expression faintly emerged in the darkness.What followed was an indescribable irritability and depression, even if the whole room was smashed, it might not be able to dispel it.

Is it because of Lu You's rude and aggressive words; or is it because Lu You ignored the agreement with him and rashly took action against Ding Yucheng, even threatening the stability of the Tang family?

No, these are not the most important.

The important thing is that Lu You learned about Dong Jun from Qi Yunchu.

Why did Qi Yunchu do this, and what was he thinking? !

Before he knew it, Tang Ruilang had shrunk down from the chair, and his outstretched legs were almost completely paralyzed on the ground.

He maintained this slack posture and looked up at the ceiling, while his thoughts drifted into the distance bit by bit.

Most of the original memory has long been blurred, only some words that Zhao Nanxing said back then are still vivid in my memory.

It vaguely was many years ago, when a certain Lingxiao flower had withered in late autumn.The courtyard of Prince Anle's Mansion is filled with golden fallen leaves and setting sun.

Uncle Anle, who was always warm and bright, took off his brocade robe and jade belt, put on light luggage, led the fastest horse in the palace, bowed his head and smiled at him.

"Xiao Ruilang, uncle is leaving soon. But before leaving... I want to do a business with you."

Think about it carefully, this "business" is the source of everything.

In fact, Lu You was not wrong - from the moment the two met in the Imperial College, he had been acting.

Chasing after Zoran, trying to form a strange friendship with him.At the same time, those who tried to get close to Zoran were dismissed vaguely.

But how did this friendship turn into love, and how did it intensify out of control, and finally evolve into the current situation?

In the darkness and silence, he closed his eyes and began to recall little by little the past years.

The change began with that superficial kiss at Ye's house in Chongrenfang.

How did the self at that time take that step by mistake?

"I love... Dong Jun?"

Tang Ruilang murmured to himself.Then calm down, hold your breath and concentrate, feeling every slight change in your heart.

What jumped out of my mind were all kinds of fragments that Prince An Le once narrated.The gentle, stable, and kind Dong Jun didn't have a definite appearance, like a cloud of hazy smoke, standing there not close or far away.

Tang Ruilang knew that his heartbeat was normal and his breathing was steady, but there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, as if mocking himself.

Then, he tried to call another name.

"Zoran, Zoran..."

Something in the mind began to quickly condense into shape, and finally turned into the figure in purple with tears in his eyes.

The earnestness and loveliness in the Imperial College, the desolation and stubbornness by the Quehua Pool, the forbearance and wisdom in the palace...

He took a deep breath, felt the force of the alcohol counterattack, and after a while, his whole body became hot and dry.
