Qing Guan: Seven Nights Lotus

Looking at the night sky last night, it seemed that it would rain today, but it turned out to be sunny.In the room, Situ Lin opened the umbrella that Mu Qianye gave him, twirled it in his hand, and then looked down at the painting on it.

Thinking of the first time he saw Mu Qianye, the figure in green slowly walked into his sight among the crowd. Although it was just a glance, he could never forget it.

Situ Lin thinks that he is not a person who is easy to fall in love with at first sight. Appearance is important, but what really attracts people is not just the good looks.Mu Qianye seemed to be attracted to him by far more than these.

"Master?" Wei Ying called out from outside the door.

Stopping thinking, Situ Lin said without raising his head, "Come in."

After pushing the door open, Wei Ying nodded at him, "Master, the letter has been delivered."

Nodding his head, Situ Lin put away the umbrella, originally intending to return it to Mu Qianye, but now he felt it was unnecessary.Putting the umbrella aside, he turned to Weiying and said, "I'm going out today, you don't have to follow me these few days, go rest."

Wei Ying nodded and said yes, but did not leave immediately, "Master, there is one more thing—"

"Say." Situ Lin turned around and sat down on the chair.

"Originally, I wanted to wait for the owner to go back before making a decision, but—" After thinking about it, Wei Ying lowered his head and asked, "Does the owner still remember the one who escaped from the villa two years ago—"

Bringing up the old story again, Situ Lin slowly frowned, and slowly remembered a male favorite who escaped from the side courtyard two years ago.

Originally a small handyman, he was almost 15 years old when he came to Situ Mountain Villa, and he was responsible for cleaning the garden on weekdays.Once he was drunk and saw that small but handsome handyman in the garden. The latter stood there helplessly holding a broom, looking at him with watery eyes, a little scared and a little shy.

He has seen countless people, so he can naturally see the admiration in the little handyman's eyes, without any desire, it just makes him curious.So he followed suit and took him in, making him the person by his side, but after pampering him for less than half a year, he was no longer interested, until he ran away one night more than two years ago.

He just ran away from a male favorite, and that man didn't steal anything. Although it was a violation of the rules to leave Situ Villa without permission, he didn't care too much about it. He just ordered him to look for it and then ignored it.

He remembered the origin of that male favorite, but he didn't quite remember his appearance, because he never paid attention to it. Now that this matter was brought up again, Situ Lin was a little puzzled, and said to Wei Ying, "Continue."

Wei Ying replied concisely, "I found it."

found it?Situ Lin didn't react much to this sudden "surprise".

"The news from the steward yesterday confirmed that he is in Weicheng. The subordinates have already sent someone to verify his identity. If there is no accident, there will be news in two days."

Situ Lin stood up slowly.It has been two years since the incident, and now there is news. It seems that those people did not take this matter to heart. Maybe it was because he stayed in Weicheng for a long time this time that they remembered this incident.

After thinking about it, he nodded, "Let's do it."

He didn't have much interest in this matter, but he had nothing to do, and he kind of wanted to see what the little boy who had the guts to escape from Situ Mountain Villa was doing.

When Mu Qianye came outside the bamboo forest, he saw Situ Lin standing at the entrance of the path, looking like he was waiting for someone.

Seeing him coming, Situ Lin raised the corners of his mouth and walked over with his hands behind his back, contented.

"Why don't you go in?" Mu Qianye asked.

Situ Lin walked up to him and smiled slightly, "Wait for you. We have met in the bamboo forest for so long, and we didn't go to other places together. I really thought you were a fairy in the bamboo forest. "

As he said that, he gently removed a piece of bamboo leaf that fell on Mu Qianye's shoulder, and played with it in his hand without throwing it away, "How about we go to a restaurant in the city today?"

Mu Qianye didn't expect that he would suddenly make such a request, and couldn't help becoming nervous.

He was afraid of being seen by the guests he knew, so he kept meeting Situ Lin in the bamboo forest. If he was found together with Situ Lin——

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was silent, Situ Lin threw away the bamboo leaves and asked, "You don't want to go?"

"No—" Mu Qianye said hesitantly, "but it's already past the time for dinner."

Situ Lin asked a little funny: "Who stipulated that you can't go to the restaurant after the time? Or did you say that the restaurant will not open after the time?"

Knowing that his reasons were too weak, Mu Qianye stopped talking.

"Don't worry, I have already ordered the best private room and specially invited cook. Now there are not many people, we can calm down and eat and drink slowly—"

Hearing him say "there are not many people", Mu Qianye felt a little relieved, thinking that after all Weicheng is so big, it would be recognized by people if he went out by such a coincidence.

"Okay, let's go." After speaking, Mu Qianye turned around to leave, but found that Situ Lin was still standing there, and he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter—hmm!"

Situ Lin pulled him into his arms violently, bowed his head and kissed him deeply - but he hadn't seen him for a day, as if he had been in love for a long time.

With a tremor in his heart, Mu Qianye slowly reached out and hugged him back.

The two embraced in front of the green bamboo forest, like a painting.

Maybe it was because the situation was too beautiful, but Mu Qianye felt a sense of worry in his heart. For a moment, he sincerely hoped that time could stop and stay in this moment forever.At least, it would be good if they could stay in their respective hearts.

After the deep kiss, the two left the bamboo forest side by side and came to the town. The two men walking on the street, one was chic and the other was gentle and refined, attracted many young women's attention along the way.

"Where do you usually go?" Situ Lin asked.

"I haven't been anywhere—" Mu Qianye lowered his head and said, "I'm usually at home—"

"Then is your home far from here?"

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Qianye replied, "It's a bit far away."

He thought that Situ Lin would definitely say that he would visit his house later, and he was already prepared, thinking of a reason to excuse him for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Situ Lin didn't ask, but just said, "Then it's very inconvenient for you to go to the bamboo forest every day—"

Mu Qianye slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and whispered, "It's worth it."

Seemingly stunned for a moment, Situ Lin turned his head to look at him, then raised the corner of his mouth, and reached out to stroke his hair.In fact, in public, this kind of action is not too noticeable, but to Mu Qianye, walking side by side with Situ Lin like this is like a dream, and one of his unintentional actions is enough to make him laugh. Heartbeat.

Even five years ago, he never thought, nor did he dare to think that such a day would come.However, despite the joy, the worry in my heart is still lingering.

As Situ Lin walked, he told him which shops were on both sides and the interesting and interesting things in the shops.Mu Qianye pretended to be listening carefully, but actually he was a little absent-minded, completely uninterested in the bustling surroundings.

"You live in Weicheng, so you're not as familiar with this place as an outsider like me." Situ Lin said suddenly.

Mu Qianye didn't answer his words, and asked casually, "I forgot to ask you, what are you—what are you doing in Weicheng this time?"

After thinking about it, Situ Lin said, "Look for someone."

Mu Qianye's heart sank for a moment, and he pretended to ask casually, "Who are you looking for? Friends? Relatives?"

"It's—an old acquaintance."

"Did you find it?"

"Not yet. But—" Situ Lin raised his head and looked ahead, "It should be soon."

Nodding in a daze, Mu Qianye continued, "It's really not easy to find someone because Weicheng is so big."

Situ Lin didn't say anything more, and the two walked away for a while, before he pointed to the front.

"It's just ahead, we'll be there soon. Have you decided what you want to eat? The wine you brought last time was good, so you want a bottle today?"

Mu Qianye was about to say that the wine might not be available in other stores, but when he looked up, he was taken aback.

There are a few people standing at the entrance of the restaurant in front of them, all of them are dressed as businessmen, and they obviously just came out of the restaurant.One of the most well-dressed men cast his eyes on them, looked at Mu Qianye, and smiled meaningfully.

He is a guest who has been to Qingfeng Pavilion!

Mu Qianye yelled something bad in his heart.Originally, he was deceiving himself that there were not many people, and he was in the private room, but he should not be seen when he was having a meal. Who would have thought that today would be such a fucking coincidence!

When he was angry, Mu Qianye liked to swear, but now he couldn't help but want to rush to that person and scold him bloody and then kick him a few times.

Just when he wanted to hide behind Situ Lin, he realized it was too late.The man obviously saw Mu Qianye's gaze on him, and the expression on his face instantly became ambiguous, and he grinned at him.

Seeing that the man was about to come, Mu Qianye had no choice but to pull Situ Lin's sleeve and said, "I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent at home, so I'm leaving first!" He hurriedly dropped this sentence without even looking at Situ Lin. Rin's reaction turned around and ran away, and within a few steps, he disappeared without a trace.

Seeing him running around without looking back, Situ Lin slowly frowned, as if something was wrong... Suddenly someone called him from behind.

"Villa Master Situ!" The person who came was exactly the person Mu Qianye saw just now. After coming over, he cupped his fists respectfully at Situ Lin. "Jiuyang, I never expected to meet Master Situ here."

Although he didn't know him, but out of politeness, Situ Lin nodded slowly to him, "You are?"

The man briefly introduced himself, and then said: "I used to do business with Situ Villa. When I left the villa, the owner just came back. I had a quick glance, so I have met the owner."

Situ Lin nodded, and didn't want to exchange pleasantries with him. Just as he was about to leave, the man glanced in the direction Mu Qianye left just now.

"I didn't expect Master Situ to like this—cough!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and smiled meaningfully, with an expression of an unscrupulous joke between men, and a little wretched.

Situ Lin didn't quite understand what he meant. "how you said that?"

The man looked at the direction Mu Qianye left just now, and smiled enviously and helplessly.

"It's only someone with the status of Master Situ who can invite him to dinner."

Situ Lin frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know him?"

"Of course! He's—"

In the evening, before Qingfeng Pavilion actually opened its doors to welcome guests, Yuhan Palace swaggered into the gate waving its fan.He was a frequent visitor, and the young men in the pavilion came up to him when they saw him. After hugging him from left to right, he dismissed the group of people with a smile, and walked to Mu Qianye's room.

After receiving the betrothal gift, his work was considered over, and the rest was handed over to other people, so he still came when he found time.That night, it seemed that everything that could be said had been said, but it seemed that nothing had been said.

Yu Hangong felt that even if he said something, Mu Qianye would not take it seriously.After all, he had been pretending to be foolish, and when he really got serious, no one would believe him.

Sighing, he put away his thoughts and put on his usual slutty smile, hugged a passing young lady and kissed twice, after a while of teasing, just as he let go of his hand, a voice behind him shouted anxiously, "Let Rang! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

It's Mu Qianye's servant boy!Yu Hangong turned around and saw that it was different from usual, as if he didn't see him today, Dai Tong rushed over in a hurry with panic on his face.

Yu Hangong felt strange, thinking that usually no matter if it was money or something fun or delicious, he would reward this kid a lot, why didn't he even pay attention to him today?

He turned around wondering, suddenly someone passed him by.Yu Hangong was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at the back of the man in front of him.This man has a strong figure, his steps are fast but calm, and there is a wave of anger exuding from his whole body, just looking at his back is full of momentum.

Opening the fan with a sound of "shua", Yu Hangong wondered in his heart where did this master come from?

Seeing the man go upstairs and no one dared to stop him, he realized that it seemed to be Mu Qianye's room over there!

"My lord!" Before he even had time to knock on the door, the servant rushed in in a panic, pointing behind him out of breath, and said, "My lord, my lord! That man broke in!" Like a lunatic—— It's just that he really didn't have the energy to say the last sentence.

The sound of the piano stopped, and the person behind the screen bit his lip and said, "Help me block him—"

But blocking that person is easier said than done——

There was a sound of footsteps coming from far to near outside the door, and the speed was too fast for people to react in time. By the time the servant turned around in panic and wanted to block the door, he had already been pushed away.

With a "bang", the door was swept open by a gust of wind, and the person who came in was like a storm. With a wave of his hand, the screen in front of Mu Qianye was torn apart.

Mu Qianye sat down on the ground, the hair that was originally tied behind his head was blown away, and a half-inch long wound was cut on his face by the debris of the screen, and blood oozes out.

He raised his head and met Situ Lin's eyes.

This is the first time that Situ Lin has seen Mu Qianye like this. He is covered in emerald green tulle, with a goose yellow belt around his waist, which loosely reveals a large area of ​​skin on his chest, and a lotus flower is painted on his snow-white neck. , the white petals are smudged with red edges, graceful and lifelike.

This look - Situ Lin gritted his teeth, the first thought in his mind was not that Mu Qianye was his runaway little boy favorite, but - he used this look to seduce men?

The two looked at each other for a moment, but neither spoke.

Mu Qianye didn't know what to say, he only knew that one day he would be found out, and he didn't want to keep Situ Lin a secret for the rest of his life, but he never expected to be exposed so quickly under such circumstances.

Situ Lin looked at him with anger and disgust at the same time. He knew it would happen, but he still felt heartbroken.He couldn't help but lamented his weakness in his heart.

"How long do you want to lie to me?" Situ Lin no longer had the gentle tone before.

Mu Qianye lowered his head slowly, neither defending himself nor interceding for himself.

In Situ Lin's eyes, his silence was like the acquiescence after the conspiracy was exposed, and his anger became more intense for a while, he walked up to Mu Qianye, lowered his head and stared at him, "You tried every means to get close to me, what is your plan? "

Gritting his teeth, Mu Qianye still didn't speak, and frowned, even his heart ached.This change is really too fast, the day before was extremely lingering, but this moment is not as good as a stranger.

Situ Lin looked at him, didn't wait for him to speak for a long time, and finally reached out and grabbed Mu Qianye's arm, dragging him up from the ground.

"Let me go!" Mu Qianye yelled.

"I thought you were a modest gentleman, so the lewdness on the bed is the truth!" Situ Lin sneered as he watched him struggle, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all.

Mu Qianye's arm hurt from being caught, but it was Situ Lin's words that hurt him even more.

"Whether I'm elegant or lecherous, didn't Master Situ already know?" He raised his head and stared at the man without any fear.

Situ Lin frowned and didn't speak, ignoring the onlookers at the door pulling Mu Qianye to leave, but before he reached the door, he was stopped by someone.

"Brother, although the Qingfeng Pavilion is a place where men spend money to have fun, there are rules." Yu Hangong walked in with a fan, as if he was a hero saving the beauty.

Situ Lin took a look at Yuhan Palace, "Since it's a place to spend money to have fun, why is it illegal for me to pay?"

Mu Qianye looked back and forth between the two, not knowing which one to persuade first, and he was in an embarrassing situation, saying nothing was right.He wanted to tell Yuhan Palace to leave, but he couldn't open his mouth, because he really didn't want to face Situ Lin alone now, not because he was afraid of his anger, but because he was afraid that he would not be able to help crying.

"It's up to you whether you follow the rules or not." Yuhan Gong stretched out his hand, blocked Situ Lin with a fan, and said with a smile, "If you want to take someone away, you have to pass my test first."

Situ Lin glanced at him sideways and sneered, "It's up to you?"

His ability was questioned, even despised, and Yu Hangong was furious. Just as he was about to reply, Situ Lin waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept him by. He hurriedly dodged but was still swept by the wind.

With a "bang", amidst the screams of the surrounding people, Yu Hangong flew out and fell onto the fragments of the screen.

"Hangong!" Mu Qianye yelled worriedly, and wanted to rush over to see if he was injured.

Situ Lin's eyes turned cold, and he pulled him back with force.In fact, Mu Qianye didn't call Yuhan Palace's name so intimately at ordinary times, but now he blurted it out in a hurry.

Yuhan Gong is not weak in skill, but compared to Situ Lin, there is still a gap.Moreover, Yuhan Palace focused on the beauty of the moves, but every move Situ Lin made was a life-threatening move.

The moment it landed, Yu Hangong gritted his teeth so as not to yell out that "ouch".

But it hurts, it hurts!He covered his face and got up from the ruins.

"Are you okay?" Mu Qianye asked anxiously, but was caught and couldn't move when he wanted to go there.

Situ Lin snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "You're so affectionate, you must have taken advantage of him, right?"

Hearing this, Mu Qianye was startled, and raised his head to look at him.

His hurt eyes made Situ Lin stunned for a moment, but he soon returned to normal and pulled him towards the door.

"Stop!" Yu Hangong yelled while covering his face.

Situ Lin's patience was exhausted, and he raised his hand just as he was about to give him another palm——

"stop!"

Song Tingyi walked in, dressed in a fancy attire, completely inconsistent with his intimidating voice.He frowned at the embarrassed Yuhan Palace, then looked up at Situ Lin.

Yuhan Palace thought that the helper had finally arrived, but Song Tingyi's first sentence was—"My guest, do you know how much money I want for this screen of Danfeng Chaoyang?"

"You set a price for how much money, and I will pay you double the price. And—" Situ Lin pulled Mu Qianye who was next to him, but without looking at him, he said to Song Tingyi: "He, I bought it too." !"

Mu Qianye was stunned for a moment, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He tried hard to pull his hand back from Situ Lin's, but it was in vain.

Song Tingyi frowned slightly, and said calmly: "He is my number one card in Qingfeng Pavilion, you can't just take him away with money."

"Top card?" Situ Lin laughed sarcastically, "That sounds good! Isn't he just a young lady who sells herself and laughs?"

These words stabbed Mu Qianye's heart hard, his originally stiff body slowly relaxed, and he stopped struggling as if giving up.

But Yu Hangong yelled, "Then what's the matter with you still robbing the young lady by force?"

Song Tingyi glanced at Mu Qianye and the wound on his face, but didn't say anything, and turned to Situ Lin, "Master Situ is going to make things difficult for me today, Qingfeng Pavilion?"

"To put it bluntly, Qingfeng Pavilion is a place open for business. If you want money, I will pay for it. As long as you know the current affairs, we will not embarrass anyone. What's more—" Situ Lin tugged Mu Qianye's arm and said: "He He is the one who ran away from my Situ Mountain Villa, and if I take him away now, there will be no chance for outsiders to talk!"

Song Tingyi looked at Mu Qianye, who lowered his head and said nothing.

"You—" Yuhan Gong was about to speak, but Song Tingyi reached out to stop him.

Situ Lin glanced at the two of them, then pulled Mu Qianye away without looking back.From the beginning to the end, Mu Qianye never said a word.

"You just let him be taken away?" After the two left, Yuhan Palace asked Song Tingyi in disbelief.

"Then you chase it out and fight." Song Tingyi said as he walked over, bent down and picked up a fragment of the screen, and weighed it in his hand.

Yuhan Palace was blocked by him and couldn't speak, so he could only stare at him.

Throwing away the fragments in his hand, Song Tingyi looked back at him, "This is a matter between the two of them. We can only let them solve it by themselves. Outsiders like you and me can't help."

"Outsider?" Yu Hangong looked at him suspiciously, "Even you say you are an outsider?"

"That's the truth. There has been a bond between them for a long time. The relationship cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences." Song Tingyi shook his head, with a regretful expression, but his tone could not hear the slightest regret, "You are late——"

Then he turned around and looked at the fragments of the screen on the ground, and called someone to say: "Calculate the ransom money for this screen and 'Mr. Lian', after double, add 500 taels each, then write a letter and send it to Situ Villa."

Stuart Villa?Gong Yuhan frowned, just now she was too angry and didn't pay attention, then she remembered that Song Tingyi called the person just now "Master Situ Villa". It turned out that the person was Situ Lin from Situ Villa!

Thinking of this, he frowned, and the wound on his face started to hurt again.

"Damn it! Is it necessary to hit so hard!" Moving his tongue, Yu Hangong gritted his teeth and cursed.His teeth are loose!
