set of flowers

As graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming.Rongyao Qiuju, Huamao Chunsong.

Magnificent and elegant, with a quiet appearance and a leisurely body.Tender and charming, charming in language.

The "Luo Shen" on the stage looks refined against the background of the clowns with exaggerated makeup. The dancers dance with their sleeves flying, singing and dancing gracefully. , soon, the clown retreated, and the hero reappeared in the center of the stage...

An Mingxi sat on the square table and concentrated on watching the performance, when Hua Qianyu appeared next to him unknowingly.After An Mingxi noticed the visitor, Hua Qianyu asked with a modest smile, "I can't find a seat, can I sit at the same table with you?"

An Mingxi looked around - there were not many customers in the music hall, and there were not many empty tables.

Even though Hua Qianyu obviously opened his eyes and said nonsense, An Mingxi only said: "It's up to you."

Hua Qianyu made a bow, walked around on the bench, sat next to him, and said: "Your accent, it seems that you are also from Kyoto?"

An Mingxi didn't want to accompany him in this unknown scene, but he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at with a smile all the time. After being stared at for a long time, he followed his words and replied: "Yes."

"Thousands of miles away, where are you going?"

"Swim to the southern tip of Shenzhou, and then return north."

Hua Qianyu slapped the folding fan in his hand, pretending to be surprised and said: "It's a coincidence, I also want to travel around the South Road, I wonder if I can go with you?"

"……what ever."

"Dare to ask your name—my surname is Qian, and my single name is Yu. I haven't reached the crown yet, and I don't have any letters."

"Huang Mingxi."

"Mr. Huang, would you like to be my friend?"

"A gentleman must be careful about making friends." An Mingxi raised his teacup, and just as his attention fell into the cup, he put it down again, "My lord is frivolous."

"Your Excellency and I hit it off like old friends, and when we meet in the future, we will fall in love after a long time. How can you say it is frivolous?"

"What if you feel that you and I are different after you become friends?"

"How do you know that you and I are incompetent if you don't make friends with me?"

"..."

"Don't ask about the reason, let go of your family background, at this moment Yu sincerely wants to be friends with you, if you abandon Yu at this moment for the sake of "maybe" in the future, wouldn't it be sad and frustrating?"

"Smart words." An Mingxi lowered his eyes, looking at the vertical tea stem in the teacup.

The calm tea soup in the cup is clear and bright, and a tea stalk hangs on the water surface, neither sinking nor floating, which is very rare.

Hua Qianyu slid open the folding fan, and the sound of opening the fan drew An Mingxi's sight back, and saw the four characters "Huo Shu Yin Hua" slowly moving with Hua Qianyu's wrist.

"If this sweet talk can make Xi'er's heart burst into joy, regardless of previous suspicions, why not say more?"

An Mingxi sighed, and lowered his eyes again: "I'm no longer a child, so coaxing me, isn't it despising me?"

Hua Qianyu stopped his movements and asked, "Xi'er feels underestimated?"

"No."

"Still angry?"

"No."

"Brother." Hua Qianyu called, but seeing An Mingxi's response, he closed his fan and supported An Mingxi's chin with the fan bone.

He looked into An Mingxi's eyes and said, "Look at me."

The coldness of the fan bone spread from the lower jaw to the bone and slipped into the blood, making the heart tremble.An Mingxi felt a little ashamed, but fell into the watery tenderness in Hua Qianyu's eyes for a moment. He didn't expect that it was Hua Qianyu's frivolous actions that seemed to be molesting him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Really not angry?"

An Mingxi slapped his fan away, frowned slightly, and said, "I'm angry."

"Eh?"

An Mingxi got up, turned around and left.Hua Qianyu hurriedly followed, and Ah Jiu followed behind.

An Mingxi pushed back Hua Qianyu who came after him, and said: "Frivolous, frivolous, don't know what to say - don't lean on me."

"elder brother……"

Le Liyou and Le Yang were not far away. Even though it was difficult to hear their conversation due to the noise from the stage, they could roughly guess what happened through their expressions and movements.

Le Yang watched them stepping out of the music hall one after another, and sighed: "Oh, I'm afraid it wasn't taught by the second son, and asking for peace is like trying to coax the lady... With that fan, it is really the same as the second son.

"Hey, don't imitate the temperament of the second son who loves flowers and grass."

……

"The world is getting worse, shameless, immoral!" An Mingxi threw out the words that came to mind while walking in a hurry.

"elder brother……"

Every time Hua Qianyu approached, he stretched out his hand and pushed him back. After several times, Hua Qianyu simply grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms. In Hua Qianyu's arms.

"I..." Just as Hua Qianyu was about to speak, An Mingxi looked up, momentarily distracted by the blush on An Mingxi's face.What he originally wanted to say flew out of the sky, and he said: "It's so red." At the same time, he raised his hand, trying to touch the crimson.

An Mingxi pushed him away, raised his arms and covered half of his face with his sleeves.

There seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere, although Ah Jiu couldn't see what was wrong, but—the relationship seemed to be very good.

Ah Jiu was very pleased.

Hua Qianyu put down his grasping hand and asked, "Are you..."

An Mingxi's eyes showed fierceness: "What is it?"

Do you like me? Of course, due to a nightmare just experienced, Hua Qianyu did not dare to speak bluntly, but only with a tentative taste: "What did Yu do to shameless and immoral things, which made my brother angry? Such a big reaction?"

"you!"

Unable to explain why, An Mingxi waved his hands and went, Hua Qianyu followed again, risking adding fuel to the flames: "Brother, why would you be so embarrassed because of others?"

An Mingxi slapped away the dog skin plaster behind him with a palm: "Who is like you..."

"What is this?" Hua Qianyu poked his head over, with a smile as bright as a spring sun on his face.

An Mingxi pushed his face away, and said disgustedly: "Shameless."

An Mingxi was surprised. How could this person laugh so happily when he was said so?Do you like being scolded?

Thinking that An Mingxi might also be interested in him, Hua Qianyu almost burst into laughter, but she still stopped being aggressive at the moment, so as not to have the opposite effect.He recalled the methods Hua Qianshu taught him to make people happy... But An Mingxi didn't seem to have anything he particularly liked, what could he buy as a gift?

While looking around, the small stall full of clay sculptures in front caught his attention, so he trotted over before An Mingxi came, and before the hawker could greet him, he spotted the black and white cat in the corner.The kitten was sitting with its four feet close together, its tail fell on the ground, drawing a half-arc in front of it, its head was turned to the side, and it seemed that something unexpected broke into its sight.

Hua Qianyu paid the money, and when An Mingxi came to him, he approached him holding the pottery cat: "My brother's zodiac sign is a tiger, right? Look at this—"

An Mingxi glanced at him: "This is a cat."

He held up An Mingxi's right hand, handed Tao Mao into his hand, and said, "Compared to a ferocious big cat, my brother is more like an elegant raccoon slave." Wearing an aloof and haughty shell, elusive but lovely tight.

An Mingxi held Tao Mao, put down his hand, and teased him pretending to be serious: "Are you belittling me?"

"I, no..." Hua Qianyu was in distress.

An Mingxi didn't answer, and Ren Huaqianyu was worried alone.He secretly played with the Tao cat in his hand, and after a while, when Hua Qianyu's eyes fell on the candied haws, he quickly stuffed it into the skirt of his clothes, and naturally put his hands behind his back.

Ah Jiu, who saw his movements clearly, was a little helpless. He knew that His Highness's mood had recovered before he had time to ask the young master to help His Highness eat, when Le Yang and Le Liyou appeared on the left and right.As soon as Ah Jiu wanted to ask, he was dragged away with his mouth covered. However, An Mingxi and Hua Qianyu didn't notice that there was no one behind him until he disappeared in the crowd.

Hua Qianyu looked away from the bunch of candied haws, turned to look at An Mingxi, but before he could make a sound, he heard An Mingxi say: "I don't like eating."

"Then..." Hua Qianyu turned his gaze to the sugar man.

An Mingxi still said: "Don't eat."

Hua Qianyu sighed and asked, "Brother, have you eaten since you got up early?"

An Mingxi was silent.

In fact, not only did he not eat today, but after breakfast yesterday, he was worried about Hua Qianyu and had no desire to eat, so he ignored Ah Jiu's persuasion and stubbornly did not open his mouth to eat anything.After looking for Hua Qianyu at night, when Ah Jiuduan went to eat, An Mingxi had already fallen asleep leaning on Hua Qianyu.Today, they were still wary of Zhang Huai, so they declined the invitation to have breakfast at the Governor's Mansion.

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Not hungry." He intentionally contradicted Hua Qianyu.

It would be a lie to say that he was not hungry, but only now did he notice that his empty stomach was grunting, and the grunt was easily overwhelmed by the noise of the street.

Hua Qianyu took his hand and led him away.

"Where are you going?" An Mingxi asked.

"Restaurant."

……

After entering the restaurant, An Mingxi realized that Ah Jiu had disappeared and was in a hurry, when he saw him appearing with Le Yang and Le Liyou.

An Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Qianyu asked for the corner seat and gave the three of them the adjacent table, which would allow them to have a full meal and also separate the crowd.

An Mingxi had just taken his seat, with his back leaning against the wall, Hua Qianyu sat on the same long bench with him, but there was a distance of one person between them, which was not inappropriate.

"you--"

Hua Qianyu interrupted: "Taking advantage of this time, let's talk about business."

He understands An Mingxi's personality, and knows that only when talking about business matters can An Mingxi naturally respond to them. In addition, An Mingxi's temperament of distinguishing between public and private matters, if it is a business matter, he will not ignore it.

Hua Qianyu put one hand on the bench, leaned towards An Mingxi, opened the folding fan, covered the lower half of his face, leaned into An Mingxi's ear and said, "The matter of the governor..."

"Need to visit again?"

The breath hitting the ear pins tickled An Mingxi a little, he tried to ignore the discomfort and put himself into thinking.

"No. If he really has a problem, the visit will only scare the snake away. Once his suspicion is aroused, he may execute us here in order to cover up the crime."

"Dare he?"

"If the crime is revealed, he will face two situations: first, he will be deprived of his black hat; second, he will be sentenced to death—in severe cases, it may even be the death penalty. Compared with such consequences, it is better to deal with you and me without anyone noticing. Sure? How can a strong dragon hold down a local snake."

"He doesn't look like a sinful person. I'm afraid you are too comfortable and want to find some excitement."

"Ha," Hua Qianyu sat up straight, closed the folding fan, and smiled, "Brother really understands me."

An Mingxi sighed silently: "Don't frame a good person."

"But don't spare the villains either—it's never a mistake to be cautious."

"Did you grow up in a sea of ​​fire?" An Mingxi glanced at him as he spoke.

He replied, "I grew up in a sea of ​​flowers."

"Suspicion is really serious."

"It's intuition."

Hua Qianyu still does not intend to reveal the matter of Yiyuan.

An Mingxi was helpless: "Then what's next?"

"Explore Gu's bottom line? Maybe it's trustworthy."
