It's Chinese New Year, Xiao Ran thought about it, and planned to close the shop for five days, as a holiday for himself and Shopkeeper Liu.Coincidentally, from the sixth and seventh day of junior high school, there were people who had ordered pens and ink to come to pick up the goods, and it was a good start at that time.

In the second day of junior high school, originally Xiao Ran planned to spend an afternoon in the study, but not long after he got up, the porter came to inform him that Mr. Zhang was visiting.

Zhang Ting brought over some gifts, but Xiao Ran was unwilling to accept them, but he was told that it was Master Zhang's intention, so Xiao Ran had no choice but to thank him again and again.

The original one-person plan was changed to two people, who stayed in the study for a whole morning, painting, chatting and tasting poems.Zhang Ting has studied with Xiao Ran for so many years, and he used his heart to understand Xiao Ran back then. How could he not know what Xiao Ran likes? Not cold at all.

Zhang Ting is not welcome from all over the White House. The last time Bai Ye and Xiao Ran got into an unhappiness because of Zhang Ting's matter, but it affected many innocent people. No one can forget the trembling in the whole house for several days.However, you can't embarrass Zhang Ting in front of Li Ran, not to mention Bai Ye's identity dares to challenge any court officials. Those who scolded Zhang Ting for being uninterested did not say goodbye, while pretending to be courteous.

After lunch, Shi Er and the others thought Zhang Ting would leave, right?As a result, he walked two steps and suddenly thought of it and said, Xishan Hanmei is in full bloom, I don't know if my husband is interested in traveling with him?

Xiao Ran couldn't hear Shi Er and the others' cursing in their hearts, thinking that it was okay anyway, so he agreed.

There are quite a lot of tourists visiting Xishan Mountain to appreciate the snow and plum blossoms. Xiao Ran and Zhang Ting also met many acquaintances along the way, most of them were students from the city that they both knew, so more and more people traveled together. , there were as many as seven or eight people when they were able to go down the mountain.Although Zhang Ting wanted to be alone with his husband, but seeing the smile on Xiao Ran's face, after thinking about it, he invited everyone to Baoqinglou for dinner at night.

Baoqing Building is also owned by the Xuantian Clan. For a while, Bai Ye loved the bad chicken feet here, and would often bring Xiao Ran over to buy some when he returned home, so the shopkeeper and his assistants had known him for a long time.As soon as he saw him coming, he also saw that Mr. Zhang and some well-known students in the city were accompanying him, and he also guessed that it was a gathering of literati, so he hurriedly asked the staff to invite everyone to the secluded and elegant small room.

A group of people tasted wine and chanted poems until midnight before leaving one by one. Zhang Ting stayed with Xiao Ran until the end. When going downstairs, Xiao Ran's footsteps were a little staggered. One of them didn't see clearly and almost slipped down the stairs. Fortunately, Zhang Ting was watching from the side. Seeing that he was so busy, he held the handrail with one hand, hooked his waist with the other hand, and let him stand firmly on his body before helping him slowly continue down the stairs.

But the hand on Xiao Ran's waist was reluctant to let go until they stepped out of the Baoqing Building and the two of them were about to separate and get on the sedan chair separately. The warmth from the clothes, as well as the heat from Xiao Ran's face when they were close together... The feeling is left by the tip of the nose or the heart.

You can see Zhang Ting's every move, seeing him let go of his third master and rushing forward to support Xiao Ran instead of Zhang Ting, seeing that Zhang Ting is still looking at Xiao Ran with a look of ecstasy. Cleared his throat and coughed. "Master Zhang, the third master drank too much, please forgive me."

"...Mr. has not been drinking well, today is a bit too much. You go back slowly, don't be bumpy, sir." Zhang Ting slowly withdrew his nostalgic gaze from Xiao Ran, glanced at Shi Er, and reluctantly gave up. A perfunctory smile. "Or, I'll take you back first. When my husband was still living in the village, I would take him home after drinking in the city occasionally."

Shi Er smiled politely, took a step back with Xiao Ran who was already squinting, helped him into the sedan chair, and then turned around and said, "Master Zhang is polite. Today is different from the past. Now that you are an adult, how dare you let him go?" You are here to worry about these things, it is enough for us servants to serve the third master. Besides, the second master said before he left that if the third master made any mistakes, he would grab our heads and kick us as a ball when he came back... Please forgive me. "

Zhang Ting couldn't say anything else, so he had to force a smile, and took a step back, watching Shi Er yelling "get up the sedan chair", watching the man who was still in his arms that he had been thinking about for so many years, gradually go away.

Snowflakes fluttered and landed on the side of his lips. Following his slight twitching movements, they fell and fell into the mud.

In the third year of junior high school, Xiao Ran finally rested at home for a day.Because drinking for two consecutive days did make his stomach feel a little uncomfortable, and he felt a little nauseous when he woke up in the morning.

Xu Shi's face was a little pale, and Shi Er, who let Duan Shui in to wash Li Ran, was startled, and was in a hurry to find a doctor to show Li Ran.Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and said, it's just that he drank too much these days and hurt his stomach, so he doesn't need to work hard.

Xiao Ran can say this, but Shier and the others can't be serious, gruel and light side dishes in the morning, soft rice and steamed fish at noon, and served with frosted and fragrant green vegetables.

After lunch, Xiao Ran drank a cup of warm tea. Director Liu led a middle-aged man in, and only said to show the third master, but he got pulses and inquiries. Xiao Ran had no choice but to wait for Manager Liu. It's only right to lead that person away, I'm really not as delicate as you think.

Xiao Ran felt that he was also a person who had suffered, not to mention that he was able to take care of Zhou Quan himself, even with such physical discomforts, he knew how to take care of him, why now that he was getting older, he was being taken care of like a child?

Shi Er giggled, and only asked for the understanding of the third master, they also followed the second master's order.

Hearing Shi Er carry Bai Ye out, Xiao Ran pursed his lips, but couldn't say anything.

But it's not so much that he feels that this matter has no meaning to justify, it's better to say that his longing for Bai Ye makes him have no time to think about other things.

After Bai Ye left for so many days, the shadow that followed him disappeared, but his existence did not disappear at all.Everyone seems to like to mention him in front of Xiao Ran, Shier, Manager Liu, shopkeeper Liu, Leng Fengyin, Canxing, the shopkeeper of Baoqinglou, Zhang Ting...

It seems that everyone already thinks that he and Bai Ye should stand together, Xiao Ran even feels apprehensive about this, does it mean that no one really thinks that the two men are so... so incompatible?

Is it because the difference between him and Bai Ye is so different that people can't think of it in that way, or is it that he has actually followed Bai Ye on the path of the world that is deviant and ignorant of the world?

I heard that people in the Jianghu are willful and reckless, and they do things that are beyond human understanding.Perhaps for the Jianghu people, it is not so abrupt for two men to be together.But Xiao Ran thought, after all, he is not from the rivers and lakes, after all, he will not stop caring about other people's opinions.

So he will feel ashamed, feel afraid, and feel unable to look into the eyes of others.He may never learn Bai Ye's unscrupulousness...

However, he likes to see Bai Ye take it for granted.Although every time Bai Ye wanted to hold his hand on the street, he would always push him away, but in fact, he envied Bai Ye's unscrupulousness, being so righteous, being able to do whatever he wanted, and wanting to be with the one he loves. How happy is it to put your fingers together and put it into action?You don't have to be afraid like him, always afraid too much...

Bai Ye, Bai Ye...

Xiao Ran thought, he didn't even dare to show his thoughts in front of others, even if he was facing Shi Er, he didn't dare to say, I miss him.

Just after taking a nap, Shi Er went into the room and said that the Zhang family sent an invitation card, please come and get together tomorrow if you have nothing to do.He also said that the servant who sent the post is still waiting for your reply at the concierge. Look, third master, if you are really tired, why don't you go?At that time, let Manager Liu prepare a gift and send it to you in return.

They can't say it out, but they really don't want the third master to get too close to that lord Zhang during the time when the second master is away. If the second master knows, maybe they won't be unhappy with the third master, but they will give them the face of these servants. That's for sure.

Then he cursed Zhang Ting again in his heart, why did he always come to show his courtesy to their third master—but it was hard to say, why couldn't the third master see clearly that Mr. Zhang had other plans?

But even the second master, who had been at odds with the third master because of this matter, didn't interfere. He only said to be careful before leaving. Those servants who speculated on the master's mind dared to go beyond and directly prevented the third master from seeing the man surnamed Zhang ?

But on the other hand, the third master is indeed very good-natured and kind-hearted, and he always considers others first.Have you ever seen a master who takes into account even the servants like them?Have you ever seen a master who never regards himself as a master even though he finally answered their "Third Master"?Have you ever seen these waiters who are serious people who think about everything?Such an honest third master, it wouldn't be a surprise if he couldn't see Mr. Zhang's extravagance... The second master is not around, so they can only work hard.

Xiao Ran took the invitation and saw that it was signed by Mr. Zhang.

If it was Zhang Ting, Xiao Ran might decline it because he was too tired, but the person who came to send the invitation was Mr. Zhang, an elder who couldn't say "no" to Xiao Ran for various reasons, so he could only tell Shi Er to go Reply for him, it means that tomorrow Xiao Ran will come to visit Mr. Zhang to pay New Year's greetings.
