Qing Guan: Seven Nights Lotus

The night is getting darker, the moon is in the sky, and the bright moonlight is pouring into the window, and the water vapor in the bamboo forest floats into the house, as if filled with a thin layer of mist.

Situ Lin and Mu Qianye were lying on the mat hugging each other. They were covered with Situ Lin's clothes, their exposed legs were draped over each other, and even their hair was entangled.

Mu Qianye's whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he could hardly even raise his hands. It was Situ Lin who was drugged, but the spirit of the "victim" was very good, and he seemed to have endless energy.

His body hurt a little, but he was very satisfied. He pressed his face against Situ Lin's chest, and he listened quietly to the man's strong heartbeat.

After a long time, Situ Lin reached out and stroked his hair, saying, "I didn't want to do this to you—"

After a while, Mu Qianye asked softly, "Then do you regret it?"

Situ Lin laughed, looked down at the person in his arms and said, "How come? It's just that I didn't expect to come this far with you. Although, when I first saw you, I was moved by you—— "

Thoughts are moved, but it does not mean that emotions are moved.Mu Qianye listened quietly without looking up.

"Although men only care about the momentary pleasure, I really don't think of you as that kind of person."

"What kind of person?" Mu Qianye asked knowingly.There is a kind of self-defeating thought, even anticipation, if this man can say some vicious words, it would be good to make him break his mind.

It's just that after waiting for a long time, Situ Lin didn't make a sound. Just as he was about to look up, his eyes suddenly went dark. Situ Lin turned over and pressed on him, so close that his nose almost touched the tip of his nose.

"An ogre who specializes in seducing people in this bamboo forest!"

He couldn't help being taken aback, although in the past two years in Qingfeng Pavilion, he had heard all kinds of disgusting words and scenes, but he was still not used to hearing such flirtatious words from Situ Lin.In his memory, he was not a man who would say such things, even in bed.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he didn't reply, Situ Lin stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of his nose, Mu Qianye bit his lip, looking away as if shy.

Situ Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at his appearance at the moment. Mu Qianye's skin was covered with fine beads of sweat, which made him look like he was soaked in the moonlight. The blue clothes under his body reminded him of lotus in the pond.

While being fascinated, Mu Qianye said: "Speaking of cannibalism, with your proficiency just now, you should have eaten a lot of people, right?"

Situ Lin didn't argue, just smiled and said, "People eat a lot, but there are very few who want to eat again after eating—"

Even knowing that this was the man's sweet talk after the affair, Mu Qianye was not only not moved, but even a little dazed.If Situ Lin knew who he was, would he still talk to him like this?Thinking about it later, the daze turned into a trace of fear. He was not good at deceiving, but from the very beginning, he was deceiving Situ Lin.

"So—you like me?" he asked.

Situ Lin looked at this young man who was a little different to him. He never liked to deal with this kind of love talk in bed, but he said whatever he thought of to Mu Qianye.He had said from the very beginning that Mu Qianye was different from other people, and now that he had physical contact, Mu Qianye was still different.

"You want to hear my truth?"

Mu Qianye asked back: "Are you sincere?"

If he is sincere, why are so many people left in the side courtyard——

Situ Lin took his hand and put it to her lips.The hands of the person who played the piano had long and slender fingers, neatly trimmed and rounded nails, and an attractive posture.

"If you want——I'll give it to you." This sentence is most appropriate at this time, but he himself doesn't know how much sincerity is in the words.

Mu Qianye didn't speak, just looked at the man, and after a while, shook his head, "I don't want your sincerity."

"Don't you like me?" Situ Lin asked slightly surprised.

"I like you." Mu Qianye said calmly, and gently pushed him away to sit up, "But I don't ask you to like me. Feelings don't come from asking."

Situ Lin didn't expect him to say such a thing. There is no one around him who doesn't want to be favored by him, even if it's just for a while.Only the person in front of me doesn't even want it for a moment, as if it's just for this moment of spring night.

"Are you so sure that I'm not sincere to you?"

Mu Qianye closed his eyes and smiled inwardly.How could he not know—

"You are more open-minded than me." Seeing that he was silent, Situ Lin said something with a half-smile.

He is not open-minded, he just understands.Mu Qianye thought to himself, now, he doesn't expect to get Situ Lin's sincerity, but he can't let go of his yearning for him for several years.

At this time, Situ Lin leaned behind him and hugged him, and the two hugged each other naked, and they couldn't feel the cold even in the cool night.

At this moment, Mu Qianye suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.A few years have passed, and he has become much stronger than before, knowing what he can afford and what he can't.Closing his eyes, he stretched out his hand to cover Situ Lin's arm holding him, "If you really want to, just stay here for a few more days. I——want to drink with you again."

The man behind him didn't speak, but hugged him even tighter.The simple hug made Mu Qianye feel at ease, to the point that it didn't seem to matter whether he was right or wrong in this step.

Today is the day to go back to Situ Mountain Villa. Wei Ying packed up her things early in the morning, and seeing that it was almost time, she came to Situ Lin's room.After knocking on the door and getting an answer, he went in and nodded slightly to Situ Lin who was sitting at the table.

"Sir, when shall we leave?"

"I won't be going back for now." Situ Lin said without raising his head.

Wei Ying froze for a moment, "Is there a special situation that requires subordinates—"

After thinking about it, Situ Lin said, "No. I still have some things to do."

Wei Ying couldn't figure it out, they lived in Weicheng for only half a month, and the owner of the villa either traveled to the mountains and rivers or went to the bamboo forest to find the young man, but the mountains and rivers are nothing worth nostalgic, so there is only - thinking of this , He didn't ask much, but stood quietly waiting for orders.

After a while, Situ Lin put down his pen, picked up the letter, and while waiting for the ink to dry, he said, "You find someone to send this letter back to the villa. I have written all the things that need to be dealt with in it. Let them wait for a while." A few days."

Wei Ying nodded and said yes, after he put the letter in an envelope and handed it over, he took it.

"Does the master have any other orders?"

"No more." Situ Lin waved his hand, "Go down."

"Yes."

After Wei Ying retreated, Situ Lin looked down at the paper on the table, then picked up the pen again, and wrote the word "Ye" stroke by stroke.

This time, he did stay for Mu Qianye.That young man always gave him a strange feeling, it could be said that he was tempted, but it seemed to be more than that.

In all fairness, he was tempted a lot, but in the final analysis, it seemed like he was acting on the occasion. He was Situ Lin, who could play around in the world and play wild, but one day he would marry a wife and have children, so as to continue the incense of Situ's family.Although he has brothers and sisters, they are different after all. This is the responsibility of being the owner of the village.

Therefore, he can be tempted by anyone, and he can withdraw his heart at any time.

But to him, Mu Qianye was somewhat of a pity.Just like after a night of spring festival, there are gains and losses. Now, he is not sure whether it is friendship or passion that attracts him more between him and Mu Qianye.

When Situ Lin arrived at the bamboo forest again, unlike usual, he did not hear the sound of the piano.He thought that Mu Qianye hadn't come yet, but when he walked to the door and opened the curtain, he saw Mu Qianye half lying on the soft couch with bare feet, looking sideways at the bamboo forest outside the house, half The way he squinted his eyes was extremely comfortable.

Mu Qianye noticed him coming, raised his head and smiled at him.

Maybe it's because the relationship between the two is different from the past, his smile made Situ Lin feel a little more charming than usual.Originally, Mu Qianye gave him the feeling that he was just casual and free and easy, but now it seems that it is far more than that, and there seem to be many styles waiting for him to discover.

"You are quite leisurely." He walked over with a smile and sat next to Mu Qianye.

Mu Qianye raised one leg and slowly swayed in the air, "If I can be so leisurely for the rest of my life, I would really wish for it."

Situ Lin took a look at his movements, and then his eyes fell on that bare foot, thinking that Mu Qianye was a delicate person from head to toe.After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to hold his foot, and asked a little frivolously: "Then I also want to live this leisurely life, I wonder if brother Mu is willing?"

Mu Qianye squinted at him, unintentionally showing a different style, which made Situ Lin's heart flutter.

"You are a flirtatious person, you can't live an ordinary life like mine—" After finishing speaking, he turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

Situ Lin asked with interest: "How do you know I'm a romantic person?"

Mu Qianye smiled silently, "What kind of person are you, Master Situ, how many people in Jianghu don't know?"

"It seems that my reputation is completely rotten." Situ Lin shook his head with a helpless look.

"No—" blurted out almost subconsciously, and Mu Qianye was taken aback for a moment before turning around to look at Situ Lin who was interested and waiting for him to continue, "You are the famous Situ Mountain Villa in Jianghu. Lord, you are strong in martial arts, young and promising, as long as you have these, you will be the envy of everyone, and the rest are just a few words of ridicule and jealousy in people's spare time."

In just a few words, Situ Lin felt as if he had seen him through. He had just met him not long ago, but this young man could see him clearly, which made him more and more curious about Mu Qianye.

Smiling slightly, he seems to be joking, but his eyes are somewhat serious and he said: "Then let's drink and play the piano together like this, and spend the rest of our lives in a romantic way, how about it?"

These words made Mu Qianye's heart suffocate, and in Situ Lin's smiling eyes, he turned his head away a little helplessly.He was calm on the surface, but his heart was beating like it was about to jump out of his chest, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or accident!

If these words were heard a few years ago, what would it be like——

And Situ Lin said this on impulse, but he reacted quickly and came back to his senses in the next second, knowing that he didn't feel any regrets, so he took advantage of the situation and waited for Mu Qianye's answer.

Lowering his head, Mu Qianye said: "You think too far, sometimes, just a few days can make people unforgettable for a lifetime."

Situ Lin wanted to continue asking something, but Mu Qianye suddenly raised his head and leaned in front of him, kissing his lips lightly.

He took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, and Situ Lin had no reason to refuse. He hugged his shoulders passively and actively, deepening the kiss.

The two of them fell on the collapsed floor together, lingering, but Mu Qianye's thoughts became farther and farther away - he really didn't want to covet temporary happiness, but a lifetime was too far away.But he resolutely left two years ago, and now he has met Situ Lin again, and has a chance to get close to him. So, does it mean that he can really try again?

When it was just dark, the huge courtyard of Qingfeng Pavilion was very lively, with the sound of music and laughter one after another, and the smell of incense powder filled the air, which lasted for a long time.

Mu Qianye returned to Qingfeng Pavilion, stood at the gate and looked at the pool in the middle of the courtyard. There were mostly young men laughing and frolicking around the guests, and the servants stood aside with wine. No matter how unsightly the scene appeared, they seemed to be Numb, maintaining a polite smile.

When some guests saw that it was Mu Qianye, they stopped their movements one after another, and looked at him with all kinds of eyes, which were nothing but naked desires.

Lowering his head slightly, Mu Qianye walked across the courtyard without looking sideways, but only glanced at the lotus floating on the water when passing by the pool.Although the lotus is not stained by silt, as long as it is a plant and a tree in Qingfeng Pavilion, it will be unclean in the eyes of outsiders.

When passing by the side hall, he heard laughter. The speaker had a nice voice, but his tone was frivolous, and he told half-baked jokes, which caused the young men to burst into laughter.

The gauze curtains hanging around were blown up by the wind. Behind the curtains, Yu Hangong half-lyed on the high-quality Persian blanket. The low table in front of him was filled with rare fruits and delicacies. He poured wine, and one fed him fruit, so leisurely.

Mu Qianye was no stranger to this scene.

"Are you back?" Seeing him coming, Yuhan Gong sat up and asked with a smile.

The two teenagers next to Yuhan Palace saw that it was him, and they also consciously put down the things in their hands, and retreated quietly.

Mu Qianye smiled, "Why did they leave as soon as I came? Doesn't this mean that I disturbed your pleasure?"

"They know I'm waiting for you. Now that you're here, they have to go." Yuhan Gong stretched out his hand to him, "Come and sit."

Mu Qianye didn't say anything, and walked over to sit next to him.

Reaching out for him with a wine glass, Yuhan Gong picked up the jug and poured wine for him, asking, "I heard from Lao Song that you have been back late these days?"

The old Song in his mouth refers to Song Tingyi, not to mention Qingfeng Pavilion, even Yuhan Palace is the only person in Weicheng who dares to call Song Tingyi that way.

Watching him fill up the wine, Mu Qianye picked it up and drank it.After drinking it in one gulp, he asked, "Are you here every day?"

Yu Hangong smiled, picked up the fan and played with it in his hand, "No, I have something to do these few days, so I have to come over today."

Mu Qianye looked at him and asked with a smile, "Are you finally ready to handle your family's business?"

"I'm really not interested in my family's business. However, if I have to do business, I will open a "Spring Breeze Pavilion" that is bigger than Qingfeng Pavilion or something, and then get you there—"

"Oh?" Mu Qianye raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What? Do you still want to poach someone?"

"Take you there, serve you with good wine and good food, present it as a treasure, and only play the piano for me every day."

Seeing that what he said was not serious, Mu Qianye also laughed, and these words seemed to be a common joke between the two.

"Sounds good—"

"Let's talk about you—" Yu Hangong looked him over carefully from head to toe, clicked his tongue, "Your face is full of spring breeze, with a peach blossom face, maybe there is something good about it?"

Mu Qianye was slightly taken aback, but couldn't find any excuse to refute for a while, so he lowered his head and smiled.He didn't want to tell anyone about Situ Lin except Song Tingyi.

At this time, Yu Hangong suddenly reached out and touched his face.

Mu Qianye was taken aback.Usually he and Yuhan Gong would hug him like this, although Yuhan Gong suddenly hugged his waist or kissed his face, but this time it gave him a completely different feeling.

Raising his head, he stared blankly at Yuhan Gong, who also looked at him, but the usual playful smile was no longer on his face, and his eyes became serious.

"I'm getting married." Yu Hangong said suddenly.

"Huh?" Mu Qianye was taken aback.

After watching him for a while, Yu Hangong raised the corners of his mouth, and then pinched his face hard, "Is that how you react?"

At this moment, Mu Qianye didn't know how he should react.It stands to reason that he should smile and say congratulations to him, or make fun of him a few words.Just thinking of the way Yu Hangong looked at him just now, and the smiling "Congratulations", it is a little hard to say.

Mu Qianye never felt that Yuhan Palace really liked him to the point that he had to, but it might be deeper than he imagined.He didn't dare to be affectionate, because Yuhan Gong was a good person, and good people often like to pretend to be bad people.

"When did it happen?" he asked.

"It was decided in these two days." Yu Hangong withdrew his hand, opened the fan and fanned it again and again, "The family chosen by my father, the bride price is all ready, just wait for me to come to propose marriage."

Mu Qianye nodded, "The girl selected by Master Yu must be worthy of you."

Yu Hangong didn't speak, just looked at him.

Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a while.In the end, Mu Qianye picked up the jug and smiled at Yuhan Palace, "Since we are about to get married, let's have a good drink today! From now on, you will be a family man, so you can't mess around like you are now."

"Hey~ Where am I messing around?" Yu Hangong smiled and shook his head, allowing him to pour himself wine.

After talking and laughing together for a few drinks, Mu Qianye finally said something. "congratulations."

Yu Hangong stopped drinking and slowly put down the wine glass.

"You—" He looked at Mu Qianye, as if he wanted to say something.

Mu Qianye instinctively felt that he shouldn't be allowed to speak, so he raised his glass first, "One more drink!"

Yu Hangong watched him not move, and after a while, he finally sighed and drank the glass of wine that Mu Qianye congratulated him on.Then he drank a few more glasses in a row, until the whole pot of wine was finished, and asked someone to bring it over again.

During the period, people came to Mu Qianye several times to say that they had guests, but Yuhan Palace blocked them back.

In the past two years in Qingfeng Pavilion, it was also because of the presence of Yuhan Palace that he did not encounter any troublesome guests.People outside said that Yuhan Palace was his "guest in the curtain", but in fact, the relationship between him and Yuhan Palace couldn't be more pure. Every time they were together, they just drank and chatted, played the piano and played chess.

His affection for Yuhan Palace is different from Song Tingyi's kindness, and he regards Yuhan Palace as his only friend.

"Enough." Mu Qianye reached out and took the wine glass from Yuhan Gong's hand, "You've drunk enough today. Go back."

Tonight, he kept drinking like water, which was completely different from the past when he just drank a few glasses to add to the fun.

After staring blankly at him for a while, Yu Hangong suddenly turned over and lay on Mu Qianye's lap.

"I'm a little dizzy, let me sleep for a while, and I'll leave when I sober up, otherwise, my father will teach me again if he sees him when he goes back—"

"You are afraid that he will teach you a lesson so don't go out to drink all day." Having said that, Mu Qianye still moved his legs to make his pillow more comfortable, and then stretched out his hands to help him massage his temples slowly.

Yu Hangong laughed twice, "I want to see you—"

Mu Qianye frowned slightly, but said nothing.After Yu Hangong closed his eyes and his expression gradually relaxed, he also relaxed the strength in his hands, and said softly, "Thank you."

It was already midnight when the members of Yuhan Palace's family picked him up.The guests in the Qingfeng Pavilion walked around, and the young man took a rest, and it became deserted for a while. The bustling scene seemed to be fleeting, forming a strong contrast.

Mu Qianye was still sitting on the carpet, feeling a little tired, rubbing his numb legs, not wanting to move.

"He's gone?" Song Tingyi came over. He had already changed into ordinary clothes and had no makeup on his face. Walking outside like this, no one would think that he was the old bustard of Qingfeng Pavilion.

"Yeah." Mu Qianye nodded with a smile, "Drunk unconscious, was carried away."

"What about you?" Song Tingyi asked.

Knowing what he was asking, Mu Qianye looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Song Tingyi looked at him for a while and asked, "Want to leave Qingfeng Pavilion?"

Mu Qianye froze for a moment, but immediately shook his head again.

"If I leave here, I have nowhere to go."

Frowning, Song Tingyi went to sit beside him, "You've been with him these days, don't you want to go with him?"

Mu Qianye didn't speak.

"Or does he not want to take you away?"

Shaking his head, Mu Qianye responded helplessly, "What you said is not a problem. The problem lies with me. My relationship with him is not that simple. Indeed, I want to be with him, so I get close to him. But I'm afraid that paper can't hold fire, and one day he will know who I am, that I'm a—"

Frowning, Mu Qianye lowered his head and sighed, "I found out that I might be wrong. If I told a lie, I need to tell more lies to complete the lie. When it can't end—"

Song Tingyi suddenly slammed the table down with a "bang", which startled him.

"Instead of worrying about regretting here, it's better to fight again! If he really has feelings for you, he won't care who you are or what you have done."

After listening to him quietly, Mu Qianye thought about it and nodded, "Actually, I've been thinking about whether it was right to go to him back then? If I hadn't gone to him, things probably wouldn't have developed into what they are today. After all, he and I are different, people from two worlds, how could we be together.

"He used to be the owner of the villa, and I was a little beggar. Now he is still the owner of the villa, but I am a little boy—" He couldn't help laughing, and looked up at Song Tingyi, "Am I too stupid?"

Song Tingyi didn't reply, and after a long while, he said, "You are not young anymore, when it's time to go, when you can go, go."

"Don't just talk about me, what about you?" Mu Qianye looked at him and asked, "Are you planning to open a shop here for the rest of your life? Be a bustard for the rest of your life?"

"What's wrong with the bustard?" Song Tingyi asked back, "I haven't robbed my house, and I haven't been deceived. No matter how bad my reputation is, I can count on my own efforts!"

"Master, are you still waiting for someone?" After hesitating, he still asked.

Song Tingyi was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "No one keeps me waiting anymore." After speaking, he smiled indifferently.

Mu Qianye looked at the person in front of him. He had doubts about Song Tingyi's identity before. He had an unknown background, and was highly skilled in martial arts. He was free and easy by nature, but had a shrewd side.It's just that every time I asked Song Tingyi about his past, the latter would just smile and say nothing, sometimes he would change the subject, and sometimes he would say more with a sad face.

There is someone in his heart, and Mu Qianye knows it.

"What if you see him again?"

Hearing Mu Qianye's question, Song Tingyi shook his head and laughed at himself, "I'm like this now, I'm afraid he will be disgusted when he sees it."

Mu Qianye suddenly felt sad. What happened to make a seven-foot man willing to hide in this place and open a prostitution for the rest of his life?

"You're not ugly—" you're very—handsome.

Song Tingyi knew that his appearance had nothing to do with being good-looking, and he was ugly when he was pretending to be a woman, but he didn't care, he just wanted to forget his former self.

He smiled at Mu Qianye and compared his chest, "The ugly one is the human heart."

It's late at night, but I don't feel sleepy.Mu Qianye suddenly became interested, stood up and stretched his muscles and bones twice, and hooked his fingers at Song Tingyi, "Did we do two tricks?"

It was said that most of the moves were made by Song Tingyi. After all, all his martial arts were taught by Song Tingyi for him to defend himself. If he really wanted to compete with the people in the Jianghu, it would be far inferior.

Song Tingyi only used one hand, and he and Mu Qianye exchanged dozens of moves.

"You have to remember that when you get close, you only have a moment to make a move. The sooner you make a move, the greater the chance of killing someone, and the greater your chance of surviving."

Listening to him, Mu Qianye was distracted for a moment, Song Tingyi stretched out his leg and tripped his foot, and Mu Qianye was immediately strangled by him.

Grinning for a while, Song Tingyi patted his face, "You can't just pay attention to your hands, and you can't have any flaws in your lower body. Of course, if the opponent has flaws, that's the best. Especially on the battlefield, grab an attack The only chance you have is to give yourself a chance to live.”

"Your kung fu doesn't seem to be suitable for the battlefield—" Mu Qianye frowned suspiciously, "Isn't it always the case that the two armies fight and don't kill or something—"

"Bah! That's just a messenger!" Song Tingyi knocked him on the head hard, "On the battlefield, life or death is the only thing, that set of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and loyalty is fucking fart! Before the battle, the scene is very nice, really fight , but you can use as many tricks as you want!"

Hearing this, Mu Qianye finally understood why he was able to manage Qingfeng Pavilion to the scale it is today.
