"The two guest officers are from Zhongyuan, right?" the shop waiter asked while leading the people upstairs while holding tea.

Le Yang was hesitating whether to admit it, but Le Liyou said first, "Yes."

The waiter pushed open the door, walked in, stood close to the door, bent slightly, and made a gesture of "please".When the two came in, he walked to the tea table, wiped the table neatly with one hand, put the tea tray on it, and poured the tea.After saying "please", Le Liyou Fang and Le Yang sat next to each other, and heard the shop waiter say: "Yesterday, several ladies and servants came here to stay overnight. The accent is very similar to the two of you, but you know each other?"

I think the son and his party are right.

"When did they leave?" Le Yang asked hurriedly.

The shop clerk raised his right hand, rubbed his index finger and middle finger with his thumb, and smiled slyly: "Guest officer, you may not know that you are new here, but we are here to inquire about information..."

Before Le Yang could speak, Le Liyou said calmly to Le Yang, "It's just that we might be from the same village, so don't be excited."

Le Yang realizes that no one can connect the two groups of people.

Hearing this, the waiter guessed the result, but still asked, "Do you want any news?"

Le Liyou replied: "No need."

The waiter spread his hands indifferently, then closed his palms again, and said, "Guest officer, it is reasonable to say that men and women are not allowed to share the same bed in a small shop, you know..."

"How much?" Le Liyou asked.

The waiter stretched out his index and middle fingers.

"Why don't you go grab it!" Le Yang snapped.

The waiter in the shop was calm and unhurried: "Business is difficult to do, and there was a commotion, which made the other guests restless and affected the reputation of the shop. Naturally, I have to pay two extra rents so that I can leave the left and right rooms empty. , and also for the convenience of the two of you."

Two rents?Two strings of money turned out to be not two taels.

But the asking price of this inn is already high.

Le Yang resisted rolling his eyes: "Besides us, are there other guests?"

Although the son gave a lot of money to prepare, it is always better to save some money.

"Guest officer, what you said-"

Le Liyou put a tael of silver on the table and said, "Serve."

"Okay!" The shop clerk quickly took the money, collected the money, left the room, and closed the door in one go. It seemed that he didn't even intend to ask if he wanted change.

"Hmph," Le Yang turned his head, "It's cheaper for him, black shop."

Le Liyou lifted up the hat and skirt, hung it on the brim of the hat, and said, "Don't talk too much with strangers."

"Oh."

Le Yang looked back at him, and wondered in his heart: I haven't seen him for a while, why does this person look better?

I don't know if he thought too much, but he always felt that Le Liyou said less and less.

The room was very quiet, Le Yang glanced at Le Liyou again, thinking: It's good to be quiet.Although he thought so, he took the initiative to talk after a while: "I was cheated - obviously you and I live separately and only need two rooms, but it turns out that only one room is occupied, but it costs the price of three rooms... Humph, Apart from us, who would spend such a waste of money?"

Le Liyou rarely smiled when he heard the words, he said, "Stupid."

"Where did I say wrong?"

"Compared to paying more money, I want to be more intimate with the person I like."

Le Yang was dumbfounded, recalling what the shop waiter said, there was obviously a hint of that level.He still didn't intend to simply say "yes" to end the topic, but said somewhat dissatisfied: "But we are not intimate."

Le Liyou's smile gradually lost, and finally he was speechless.

Le Yang thought that he had chatted to death, but no matter how much he comforted himself, he didn't like such silence—even if he said something that would make him feel difficult to deal with, or even embarrass him, but Le Liyou But he chose silence, a silence that disgusted him.

Le Yang asked, "Can you tell me what's on your mind?"

finished talking.Le Yang laughed at himself: Couldn't Li You have a secret?

Le Liyou turned around and looked at him, thousands of thoughts seemed to flash in her quiet eyes.Le Yang thought that Le Liyou was going to say something, but after a while, Le Liyou still didn't say anything.

The waiter knocked on the door, breaking the silence like the deep sea.

"Guest officer, the food is served."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, the waiter pushed the door open with his foot.With the creaking sound of the door, Le Liyou flipped down the hood skirt, and a voice came out from the hood skirt: "You don't want to know what I think."

……

There was a sudden noise at night, waking up Le Yang who was in his sleep.Worried about the change in his situation, Le Yang tensed his nerves, his eyelids were still closed, but his ears had already flown out of the room. He carefully discerned what the people outside the door said, but he couldn't hear the loud voices outside. The language they understand, they will only use Chinese accents when talking to the waiter.Listening to this completely unfamiliar language and the degree of blunt Chinese accent in their mouths, Le Yang guessed that there might be a few Hu people...about four people.

There are not many guest rooms in the inn, and now the vacant rooms are also occupied.Hearing the noise from next door, Le Yang thought, if he didn't want to avoid trouble now, he would have thrown the shop boy who broke his promise into the boiler and cooked it with firewood.

The new tenants had probably already gone to bed, the noise gradually stopped, and Le Yang, who was about to fall asleep again, was attracted by his bedmate.

Le Yang opened his eyes and turned sideways, only to see Le Liyou buried himself in the quilt, his body seemed to be still trembling.Le Yang got up, raised his hand, and found the position of Le Liyou's shoulder.The moment he put down his hand, Le Liyou shuddered suddenly, and after a moment, he remained motionless, as if he had ceased to breathe.

Le Yang suddenly became nervous, he rolled over Le Liyou neatly, and turned to face Le Liyou while landing on one knee.Le Yang lifted the quilt, intending to see if Le Liyou had a fever, but Le Liyou, who closed his eyes and covered his ears, suddenly widened his eyes when he realized that the quilt was lifted.

Is it Le Yang?

Is it a dream?

He should have been lucky to survive the catastrophe, but accompanied by the desire to vomit welling up in his throat, he poked his head out of the bed and retched with his mouth open.

Seeing this, Le Yang panicked, stood up, bent down, supported Le Liyou with his left hand, and stroked his back with his right hand.

Le Liyou gradually stopped retching, grabbed Le Yang's right wrist with his left hand, and then sat up, stepping on the ground with his toes almost facing Le Yang's.He wiped his mouth with the back of his right hand and said, "It's all right." Apart from his pale complexion, his expression remained the same as usual.

Le Yang's tense nerves were relaxed, he didn't know what to say, he just circled Le Liyou's shoulders and embraced him in his arms.

After a long time, he let go, stood up straight, and met Le Liyou's eyes.He raised his right hand to cover Le Liyou's forehead, and asked, "Are you sick?"

Le Liyou stared into his eyes, wrapped his right hand around his waist, but left his left hovering outside his buttocks for a long time.

Le Yang suddenly became nervous, because there were too many emotions in Le Liyou's eyes that he couldn't understand... Those blue eyes, in the darkness, were deeper than the lake under the moon, and they could kill him at any moment. Devouring abyss.

However, Le Liyou just tightened his arms, leaned on Le Yang's shoulder and said, "It's just a nightmare."

Le Yang breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his back, and murmured: "It's okay, it's okay..."

"Close your eyes." Le Liyou said suddenly, then raised his head, and looked at Le Yang again.

Le Yang was obedient and closed his eyes tightly.

Le Liyou stood up, carefully picked up Le Yang horizontally, put him on the bed, and covered him with a thin quilt.

After not hearing the sound for a while, Le Yang wanted to ask: Can I open my eyes?But he opened one eye without feeling that there was anyone beside him, only to see Le Liyou with his back turned to him, and his feet stepped back to the ground.

Le Yang pulled down his clothes, and when Le Liyou looked back at him, he asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Le Liyou smiled slightly at him: "Wait a minute, you go to bed first."

Le Yang sat up and said, "When we first met, you often smiled at me, but then you smiled less."

He moved his body and got a little closer to Le Liyou.Le Liyou turned her head back and lowered her head.

"I'm not disappointed at all, because I know you don't like to laugh at all, Liyou..."

As soon as Le Yang grabbed Le Liyou's arm, Le Liyou said in a low voice, "Don't come here."

Le Yang paused, retracted his hand, and murmured, "It's not 'all right'..."

Le Yang sniffed and lay down back to his original position.

He thought, he really still doesn't understand Le Liyou.

After a long time, until Le Yang was already asleep, Le Liyou opened his eyes, got out of bed, and sat cross-legged on the floor leaning on the bedpost, touching the coldness of the floor.He wanted the stagnant blood to flow, and the rushing heat to calm down, but when he closed his eyes, his mind was still filled with an unbearable scene...

He opened his eyes and looked back, resting the back of his head on the bedpost.

……

The next day, when he woke up, he couldn't see the person who was supposed to be sleeping next to him. Le Yang was nervous for a moment, turned over and was about to get out of bed, when he saw Le Liyou beside the bed.Le Yang got angry and kicked Le Liyou's outer thigh. Although the strength was not strong, it was enough to wake him up.When Le Liyou woke up, Le Yang gave him a condescending glance, and then went to arrange her clothes.

From getting dressed, to washing up, to eating, Le Yang didn't say a word, and even his eyes were stingy on Le Liyou.Le Liyou knew he was angry.

Le Liyou stood in front of Le Yang, bent down, let Le Yang's face into the cap and skirt, and pressed Le Yang's forehead and said: "I don't Okay, don't be angry, okay?"

Le Yang said nothing, turned his head and left.

To be honest, with Le Yang's temperament, even if he was really angry, most of it would disappear after being coaxed by Le Liyou's soft words. He would adopt a cold war attitude just to let Le Liyou experience the feeling of being ignored.

Le Liyou bent down, grabbed the corner of Le Yang's sleeve, synchronized with Le Yang, and said as he walked, "I won't attack you next time." He thought the sentence "Don't come over" yesterday was too serious .

Le Yang was angry, held his heart, couldn't help but opened his mouth: "Who said it was because you were fierce?"

Hearing the rare voice, Le Liyou took a big step and got closer: "Why is that?"

"...You are only allowed to ignore me, and I am not allowed to ignore you?" Besides, you were told to sleep and you didn't sleep, but you ran to sit on the bed. What does this mean?

Le Yang was afraid that it would appear that he really wanted to share the bed with Le Liyou, so he refrained from saying the part that he didn't say.

"I didn't...don't dare next time, don't ignore me, okay?"

Hearing this, Le Yang raised his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and said quite proudly, "Then I'll talk to you next time."
