Qing Guan: Seven Nights Lotus

After Wei Ying left, Situ Lin stood there for a while, turned around, and found that Mu Qianye was standing not far away looking at him, his body was already wet by the rain.

I don't know how long he stood there, but Situ Lin didn't say anything, he walked over and put his arms around his shoulders.

"From today onwards, you are the only one by my side."

Mu Qianye didn't show a happy expression, but just looked at him without saying a word.

"Are you unhappy?" Situ Lin asked with some doubts.

Mu Qianye was also a little puzzled, logically speaking, he should be happy.He waited for so many years, just hoping to stay by Situ Lin's side, let alone be "the only one".It's just that now that it has become a reality, he doesn't have the joy he imagined.

It turns out that some things have been smoothed and polished by time after all.Mu Qianye felt that he really let go.

Not in a hurry for him to answer, Situ Lin took his hand, "Go back and change your clothes, you'll catch a cold."

Mu Qianye didn't speak, and quietly let him drag her back into the house.

Soon, the servants brought hot water. Mu Qianye took off his almost drenched clothes and sat in the bathtub. The water was filled with good spices, and the smell was fragrant. His cold body was immersed in the hot water, and his whole body gradually warmed up. .

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying outside, the sound was not loud, it should be because it was a little far away, and it sounded like there was more than one person.Mu Qianye closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth brought by the hot water. The crying in his ears gradually faded away, but it seemed to linger in his ears all the time.

At this time, the servant girl brought warm wine and put it beside the tub, and Mu Qianye nodded to her and thanked her.The young servant girl froze slightly, blushing a little and hurried out.

Mu Qianye didn't care, poured the wine and drank it while leaning against the tub.

After a while, someone behind him approached.

Situ Lin took off his shirt, exposing his muscular upper body, stood outside the bathtub and reached out to soak a towel in water to wet his hair.

Mu Qianye's long hair was scattered in the water, water droplets were stained on his back, and his well-shaped shoulder blades were slightly reddish, very attractive.

But Situ Lin just admired it silently in his heart, didn't think about it, and focused on what he was doing.

Hot water dripped from his body again and again, and Mu Qianye remained silent until the person behind him stopped and lifted his hair to wash it for him, then he said, "You don't have to do this step."

There was something in his words, Situ Lin froze for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lowering his head, Mu Qianye looked at the water and said, "You don't have to send them all away, they are still young and still have a lot of time—"

With a "snap", Situ Lin threw away the towel, gritted his teeth, "I can't see that you are thinking of them!" He never thought that what he did, he got Mu Qianye's sympathy for others.

Mu Qianye sighed softly, "You don't have to do this for me. I said that you have already repaid your life-saving grace, but I don't believe your promise. From the moment we left Weicheng, we have It doesn't matter anymore."

He understands that this is his most direct rejection!Situ Lin grabbed his shoulder, forced him to turn around, and stared at him, "Why are you so ruthless!"

Mu Qianye was slightly taken aback, then smiled again.Pushing away his hand, he picked up the wine jug next to him, raised his head and took a sip from the spout. This was a free and easy drinking posture, but it made him look a little coquettish, but what he said next made him Situ Lin was even more angry.

"Ruthless, how can you be ruthless?"

Situ Lin bent down and stared at him and asked, "Your affection for me before was all fake?"

Mu Qianye glanced at him indifferently, turned his head away, "It's true. But, it's gone." He put down the flagon in his hand, "Maybe I'm not determined not to go back to Situ Mountain Villa, but if I come back here, I slowly remembered the old me."

He pointed out the window, "From the year you didn't see me anymore, every time there were fireworks in the village, I stood at the window and watched them. The fireworks are beautiful. Although they weren't set off for me, I can still see them. Years later, I realized that was just self-consolation."

With a self-deprecating smile, he turned his head and said quietly: "I have always dreamed of having you by my side for the rest of my life. From the time I saved you to the time I met you in the bamboo forest, I still dreamed of having you by my side. You for the rest of your life, and that is my last chance—but, Situ Lin, why did you expose me? You didn't even give me a chance to make up for it by dreaming?"

Situ Lin frowned and looked at him without saying a word, as if letting him vent.

"But I have to thank you again. You woke me up again. After all, dreams are about to wake up." After finishing speaking, he reached out to pick up the flagon again, but his hand was caught.

Situ Lin shook his hand and asked, "Didn't you realize that you woke up a long time ago?"

Mu Qianye widened his eyes slightly, waiting for him to continue.

"You have been immersed in the past, but I have been thinking about our future. You said that the one I love is not you. Now I tell you, whether it is the you before or the you now, they are the same person to me."

Mu Qianye didn't speak, just looked at him for a while, then stood up from the bathtub and put his hand on Situ Lin's shoulder.

He began to miss the time when they met "for the first time" in the bamboo forest. If he hadn't taken that step then, maybe the situation with Situ Lin would be different now.Whether it is a confidant or a friend, it seems that they will last longer than a lover.

He has always wanted to have this man, but he has paid too much for it.

"Situ Lin, it's better to be your friend than your lover. I once said that I don't want to be your friend, but now——I regret it."

"I won't give you a chance to regret it." Situ Lin put his arms around his waist, lowered his head and kissed him heavily, domineering but gentle.

The next day, when it was almost noon, Mu Qianye was still lying on the bed, completely dazed, as if he hadn't woken up.He seemed to be dreaming last night, but now he doesn't remember it at all.The only thing that impresses him is that Situ Lin said in his ear: We can be both lovers and friends——

Frowning, he stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, this time someone called out from outside the door, "Master Mu? Are you up?"

He slowly sat up from the bed and spoke.

"Master Mu, there is a guest who wants to see you."

As soon as the servant finished speaking, Mu Qianye was stunned.The guest who will come to Situ's villa to find him, could it be that Situ Lin said again...his "guest of the curtain"?

"Do you know who it is?"

The next man shook his head.

After thinking about it, Mu Qianye asked again: "Does Situ—the owner of the villa know?"

"I know, it was the owner who ordered the younger one to invite Mr. Mu."

This was somewhat unexpected, Mu Qianye got up and changed, washed up hurriedly and followed the servants all the way to the front hall.

After entering the door, there was a man with his back turned to him, looking at a painting hanging in front of the hall.

Mu Qianye already knew who the man was when he saw his back, but he still froze in place in disbelief.

After hearing the sound of footsteps, the other party slowly turned around.

With a pair of peach blossom eyes, he always likes to shake his fan. He hasn't seen the appearance of the playboy in Yuhan Palace for a while, but now he feels familiar.

"Why are you?" Mu Qianye was both surprised and delighted.

"Why, I can't come to see you?" Yuhan Gong came over to him and asked with a smirk.

Mu Qianye laughed helplessly, reached out and patted him on the back vigorously.The two looked at each other and smiled. Although it was not a reunion after a long absence, Mu Qianye was still somewhat moved.

After the two sat down, Mu Qianye asked, "You haven't said why you're here yet?"

Yu Hangong smiled, "Before getting married, I want to see you."

Mu Qianye blinked, then nodded, "Yes, you have to send me a wedding invitation too."

Yu Hangong did not respond to this, which made him a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Yu Hangong suddenly said, "By the way, I have something for you." Then, he picked up a cloth bag from the ground and put it on the table.

Mu Qianye unwrapped it and found that it was altar wine.

"Lao Song asked me to bring it to you!" Yuhan Gong patted the wine jar with a smile.

"Master?" Mu Qianye didn't expect Song Tingyi to ask him to bring wine, so he asked, "Is he alright?"

"It's still the same, but it's just that it's been less and less recently."

"Do you still go to Qingfeng Pavilion often?"

"Isn't it just to see things and think about people—"

After opening the wine and taking the glasses, Mu Qianye and Yuhan Gong drank several glasses in succession.

Mu Qianye just got up and didn't eat, drinking on an empty stomach hurts his body, but he didn't think about it that much, a few maids suddenly came in with a few dishes, and the dishes were placed on the table one by one, and there was still a bowl of hot water. The steaming porridge was placed in front of him.

"The owner of the village ordered, please be sure to drink this bowl of porridge first."

Mu Qianye looked at the porridge and nodded, "Got it. You guys go down."

After the maids left, Yu Hangong smiled and said, "It seems that he treats you pretty well."

Mu Qianye admitted to this point, "I didn't feel anything about his "going to war" to please me, but I didn't expect him to think of such a trivial matter..."

Yu Hangong raised his eyebrows, "Moved?"

He didn't speak, picked up the porcelain spoon and stirred the steaming porridge.

"Oh——" Yu Hangong sighed, "I would have known that when I was in Qingfeng Pavilion, I would not always drink with you. Every time I have a bowl of porridge and deliver three meals in the morning, lunch and evening, maybe I will impress you a long time ago. gone."

Mu Qianye was provoked by his words and burst into a "puchi" laugh.

Looking at his smiling face, Yu Hangong clasped his hands on his chin and asked curiously, "What do you like about him?"

Putting away his smile, Mu Qianye lowered his head and thought about it. "I didn't spend a day with him the first time I met him, but he taught me a lot. He was the first person to tell me how my name was written—"

"He might just be idle!" Yu Hangong was full of disdain for their first meeting.

"So what? At least, he is willing to talk to me." Mu Qianye sighed, "No one has ever taught me how to read and tell me how to live like him—"

Sometimes, some happiness couldn't be simpler.

Yu Hangong looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "If you met me at that time, I would do the same."

Mu Qianye looked up at him, he was very serious from his expression, and he also believed that Yuhan Palace did not lie to him.However, there are often no "ifs" in things.

"I know." He nodded, "but it wasn't you who met me. Sometimes, some things are meant to be."

Yu Hangong drained the wine, and after putting down the glass, he looked at Mu Qianye and asked word by word: "Then what if I let you go with me now?"

Mu Qianye didn't understand what he meant, so he couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?"

"Would you like to come with me now, let's leave here together, wherever we go, just the two of us."

"What are you talking about?" Mu Qianye frowned, "You are going to get married, why do you still say such things?"

"Tomorrow is the day I get married." Yu Hangong held his hand, "So today is my last chance, if you are willing to come with me, I don't have to get married, or even leave Yu's house and take you wandering around the world!"

Mu Qianye was frightened by him.He has never seen Yuhan Palace so serious. Compared with the previous Yuhan Palace, the people in front of him feel strange to him.

"Promise me?" For a moment, Yuhan Palace seemed to be much more mature.

Mu Qianye's chest felt tight, and he couldn't tell if he was happy or sad.In the end, he held Yu Hangong's hand instead, and the latter thought he would nod, but he said, "I don't want to lose you as a friend."

He has always regarded Yuhan Palace as a friend, a true friend.Their relationship was spread in a mess, but it never affected them in the slightest, because he had no guilt in his heart.

"Could it be that we can only be friends for the rest of our lives?" Yuhan Gong smiled wryly.

Mu Qianye didn't answer, and smiled after a long time, "Believe me, being friends is better than being lovers..."

This sentence made Yu Hangong no longer mention the matter of taking him away, but changed the topic, the two chatted all over the world, and drank wine glass by glass.

In the evening, the wine brought by Yuhan Palace was mostly empty, and Mu Qianye seemed to be drunk, lying on the table without moving.

Yu Hangong was playing with the empty wine glass in his hand, and occasionally glanced at Mu Qianye, as if waiting for him to wake up.

Not long after, Mu Qianye still didn't wake up, but Situ Lin came.

Seeing that it was him, Yu Hangong smiled, "Master Situ, you're only here now, and the wine is gone."

"If we can talk, it doesn't matter whether you have wine or not." Situ Lin walked over and looked at the dishes on the table that hadn't touched much and the wine that had already been drunk, frowned, and then looked at Mu Qianye who was asleep , sat next to the latter.

Yu Hangong said: "It's very generous of you to allow us to be alone until now."

Situ Lin cast a glance at him, "Don't get cheap and act like a good boy."

The person who likes to be cheap and behaves the most, smiled softly, then glanced at the person sleeping beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will abduct him?"

Situ Lin also laughed, "As long as you can get out of Situ Villa."

"What if he wants to come with me?"

As if he had never considered this question before, Situ Lin thought for a while, and responded without any joke, "That can only be your corpse leaving Situ Villa."

Tsk!Yu Hangong snorted coldly in his heart, picked up the wine jug and wanted to pour it, but was snatched by Situ Lin halfway.

"I'll drink with you." After pouring wine for him, Situ Lin also poured a glass himself, and then raised the glass - the glass was used by Mu Qianye.

Yu Hangong took a look at the cup in his hand, and really couldn't feel any disobedience.

"I don't dare to drink the wine toasted by your Master Situ." There was sarcasm in his words.

Situ Lin didn't care, "Thank you for taking care of him." After finishing speaking, he did it first as a respect.

Yu Hangong didn't expect this man to be so "reasonable". At that time, in Qingfeng Pavilion, he and Mu Qianye were clearly pointed at, and they were identified as a pair of "dog man and man".

It's just that he was polite, and Yuhan Palace was also rude.

"What kind of wind is this blowing? Why did the cruel Situ Lin suddenly become so affectionate?"

He teased him deliberately, but Situ Lin didn't care, and poured himself another cup, "For the one you like, there must be some changes."

The Yuhan palace wine was just about to be delivered to his mouth, but he couldn't drink it anymore after hearing this sentence.

"You are his friend, and you helped him when he was in the most difficult time. Of course, I have to thank you very much. If you offended me before, just drink this cup and pretend it never happened."

The more Yu Hangong heard this, the more wrong it became. Dare to forget that he almost knocked out a tooth in Qingfeng Pavilion last time?But after thinking about it, Situ Lin would definitely not do such a thing as "seeking peace", and he would do it now, probably for the sake of Mu Qianye by his side.

"I know people are fickle, but I didn't expect it to change so quickly."

Situ Lin smiled and drank the second cup and said, "Actually, in the thatched hut in the bamboo forest of Weicheng, when I saw the look in his eyes when he saw me, I had a feeling that the person in front of me...fortunately, I didn't miss it. "

Holding the wine glass, Yu Hangong was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Mu Qianye moved suddenly, frowning as if he had a headache.

Situ Lin paused for a moment, then put down his wine glass, turned his head to look at the person lying on the table, stretched out his hand to brush the hair covering his cheek, and then stood up. "It's getting late, I'll take him back. I told the servants to arrange for you to stay today, and someone will come and take you to the guest room later."

After he finished speaking, he bent down and hugged Mu Qianye horizontally. During the period, Mu Qianye opened his eyes for a while, and closed them again when he saw Situ Lin.

Seeing this, Yu Hangong sighed.Forget it, she is indeed an "old husband and wife", there is no room for him to intervene.

But he still stopped Situ Lin, "I have to make a statement. I have nothing to do with him. At the most, we held hands and rested our legs, and we haven't even kissed each other. Those who talk about us can listen to it." , but you can’t believe it.”

"I know."

"You know?" Yu Hangong asked back, "How do you know? He told you?"

Situ Lin shook his head, "He won't tell me, because he doesn't believe that I will believe him. Therefore, I understand some things without him telling. He is very conflicted now, because I have betrayed him too many times. Is he afraid? So don't believe me."

Yu Hangong blinked, "You know—"

Situ Lin raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and took two steps, then suddenly turned back, "By the way, I heard you are getting married tomorrow?"

Yu Hangong's face froze, he hehe laughed twice and said: "It's just a rumor in the world."

"But all the wedding invitations from the Yu family have arrived—"

This time he couldn't laugh anymore, before he could say anything, Situ Lin raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked away with Mu Qianye in his arms.

Situ Lin did not send Mu Qianye back to Lan Yuan, but carried him back to his room.As soon as he put him on the bed, Mu Qianye woke up. Seeing Situ Lin, he froze for a moment, and then relaxed again.

"Where is this?" The voice was a little vague, and he must have been a little drunk.

"My room." Situ Lin replied softly, and then wiped his blushing face with a wet towel.

Mu Qianye has a good capacity for alcohol, and it is rare for him to drink like this, but Song Tingyi's jar of wine looks extraordinary.

"Where's Yuhan Palace?"

"I asked someone to take him to rest."

Mu Qianye stopped talking, closed his eyes, and said after a while: "He is getting married tomorrow, you should find someone to take him back tonight—"

Situ Lin raised his eyebrows, leaned down and approached him and asked, "He wanted to see you before he got married, but you are so cruel, wishing he could go back soon?"

What is this nonsense?Mu Qianye opened his eyes and glared at him, "Since I don't have that kind of affection for him, why should I let him think about it? Even if he doesn't want to get married, he has to go back and explain clearly, so he just left quietly, let What about the girl?"

Situ Lin looked at him with great interest, and after a while he smiled and said, "You really think about other girls!"

Mu Qianye glared at him, then turned his head away and closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Situ Lin raised the corner of his mouth, leaned into his ear and asked, "Did you just want to scold me?"

Recently, there have been more small jokes between the two of them, like a lover's small quarrel, but it feels a little different to Mu Qianye.

Seeing that he was silent, Situ Lin asked again: "You——really never thought about leaving Yuhan Palace?"

Mu Qianye suddenly turned around and opened his eyes, only to see the man looking at him calmly, as if he was asking an innocuous question.

After thinking for a long time, he finally asked, "What if I go with him?"

He clearly said that he no longer believed in Situ Lin, but he still wanted to hear his answer.

Situ Lin didn't answer him right away, and when Mu Qianye almost regretted asking, he lowered his head and whispered in his ear; "You won't have that chance."

When he was about to speak again, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"The owner?"

Situ Lin straightened up, "What's the matter?"

"A guest came to see Mr. Yu. But Mr. Yu was drunk and fell asleep, and he couldn't wake him up no matter how much he yelled."

Situ Lin and Mu Qianye looked at each other, both surprised that someone came to him now.

Situ Lin asked, "Did the other party say who he is?"

"No. It's just that it's full of anger, and it looks like the visitor is not kind."

"I'll go take a look—" Mu Qianye just remembered, but Situ Lin pressed his shoulders and pulled the quilt to cover him.

"You lie down, that kid has already drunk you, do you still want you to clean up the mess for him? I'll go."

When Situ Lin left the room, Mu Qianye looked at the place where he was sitting just now, and felt uncomfortable for a while.

This kind of tenderness, why give it to him now?

When Situ Lin saw the people who came to Yuhan Palace, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

The man was dressed in black, taller and stronger than him, with his hands behind his back, he was full of domineering.

Situ Lin could immediately feel that this person's martial arts were unfathomable, but there was too much evil in his brows, he didn't look like a decent person.

"Are you Situ Lin?" the man asked after looking him up.

"Your Excellency?"

"you do not need to know."

Situ Lin frowned slightly, "You came to my Situ Villa to look for someone, but you refused to even give your name—"

The man sneered, "I didn't come to look for you, so of course you don't need to know who I am. Moreover, people who know who I am usually die very quickly."

It really is "the visitor is not kind"!Situ Lin looked at the other party, and secretly compared the evil people he knew with the person in front of him one by one.

But the man didn't talk to him anymore, he just asked, "Where are the people from Yuhan Palace?"

"Young Master Yu came to Situ Mountain Villa to meet friends. He drank a few more drinks on a whim, and he is resting now."

"Get him out of the way! Even if you die from drinking, you have to follow me!" The man roared.

Situ Lin wanted to laugh a little bit, what kind of hatred is there?

"Are you here to take him home to marry him?"

"Get married?" The man sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "If he dares to go back and get married, I'll break his leg!"

"But I did come to take him back to get married—" the man laughed again, he was utterly cruel just now, but now he is utterly treacherous.

Situ Lin didn't quite understand what he meant.

"If he wants to get married, he can only be with me!"

Situ Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that the real person of Yuhan Palace would make a man think like this without showing his face.But he himself was shaken for a moment.

Two men getting married?

"Are you sure you're not joking?" he asked.

The man looked back at him, "This is the most effective way to tie someone down. After we get married, the whole church will call him "Mrs. Teacher", and the news will spread immediately. As long as he dares to be in the Jianghu No one would dare to call him Yuhan Palace. With his character, if he wants to stay outside under the name of the leader's wife, it is better to let him find a hole in the ground!"

Hearing what he said clearly and logically, Situ Lin smiled and asked: "Then you don't care about your own reputation?"

"Fame?" The man glanced at him and smiled disdainfully, "That's for others to talk about. I live for myself, so it doesn't matter to others whether I marry a man or a woman? What do you want the reputation they give you? Master Situ, if It's you, do you want the reputation in others' mouths, or the person in your own heart?"

Situ Lin didn't speak, and after a while, he smiled slightly, "Come here, take him to find Mr. Yu."

The man raised the corner of his mouth, and this time nodded slightly at him.

"Thank you."
