set of flowers

Zhuge Yaya never doubted the excellence of her elder brother Zhuge Xingyun.

Her mother died young, and when she was four years old, her father who said she was going to get a drink suddenly disappeared. Zhuge Xingyun, who was only eight years old at the time, took on the job of taking care of her younger sister.Although they made their voices in Yuxiang and their household registrations are here, they are considered half-outsiders. Their father was born elsewhere and came to Yuxiang to make a living by chopping firewood and selling charcoal. The family did not pass on half an acre of land.In exchange for food, Zhuge Xingyun helped his neighbors to farm, so that the two brothers and sisters would not starve to death.

When she was six years old, one day it rained heavily and she was alone at home waiting for her brother. She was worried that she would not see him after the rain stopped, and she was even more afraid that he would go away like her father and never return.Just when she was about to go out to find her brother, who violated her brother's promise to stay at home obediently and not run around, he just happened to appear in sight, accompanied by an old gentleman.

Mr. is the master of Shushu.She didn't know what happened that morning, but from that day on, the two brothers and sisters moved to live with the husband's house, and Zhuge Xingyun stopped helping farmers and changed to writing.

When Zhuge Xingyun was 13 years old, the boy whose outstanding talent gradually revealed began to attract the attention of his neighbors. The neighbors sent him books, food, and supplies. They all hoped that he could be admitted to Jinshi. They have different ideas, some simply hope that he will bring glory to the village, some want to share the wealth and glory, and some just follow suit... The hostess who used to give them supercilious eyes also began to change her attitude.But in the fifteenth year of Zhuge Xingyun, they still moved back to the dilapidated hut they lived in when they were born.

Zhuge Yaya has never been able to do anything for this outstanding elder brother, and he has suffered most of it for her.She didn't think there was anything wrong at first, until her brother picked up that man... She began to worry that she, who was worthless, would no longer be the most important person in her brother's heart. When the letter was delivered to Shu Xingqiao, her premonition seemed to come true.She violated Zhuge Xingyun's intention for the first time, opened the letter, and then... strengthened her determination to drive away Shuxingqiao.

Men can't like men, men who like men not only won't be loved anymore, but also be treated as lunatics like the second idiot at the end of the village - Zhuge Yaya thinks, everything she does is for her brother.So she hid the letter and told Shu Xingqiao that his elder brother could not be friends with such a naughty and despicable prodigal son, that would not only ruin his reputation, but also might change his brother, making him as depraved as he was ...She even forced Shu Xingqiao to swear that she would never appear in front of Zhuge Xingyun in this life.

Shuxingqiao didn't agree, and he didn't even leave. After being kicked out of the house by her, he just changed land and still lived near her.She was worried every day, afraid every day, what if Zhuge Xingyun found that she hadn't sent the letter to Shu Xingqiao when he came back, what if Shu Xingqiao told Zhuge Xingyun what she said?She was too scared, so she thought of various ways to force Shuxingqiao to leave, until Shuxingqiao said to her: "I promised him that I will guard you until he comes back...I will disappear before your brother comes back." When Shu Xingqiao spoke, his tone and expression were gentle.He was always like this, no matter how messed up she was, she would never get angry - Zhuge Yaya hated him the most.

Shu Xingqiao wiped away Zhuge Yaya's tears with a handkerchief given to him by someone's wife, and said softly, "Don't cry, others should say that I bullied you."

Zhuge Yaya sniffed, thinking: Is it impossible not to be angry?Maybe I'm cursing in my heart!

On the day when Zhuge Xingyun returned to his hometown after obtaining his honor, the village was even more lively than ten families welcoming their relatives at the same time. I'm more concerned about whether the tree star bridge is stupid, but fortunately, in the end, the tree star bridge did not appear.

Zhuge Yaya entertained Zhuge Xingyun, facing him who nervously asked about the situation of Shuxing Bridge, she said that Shuxing Bridge left after reading the letter without leaving a word—the first time she saw Zhuge Xingyun's tears.Zhuge Xingyun said that it was just sand in her eyes, so don't worry.She watched him use packing as an excuse to pack the clothes that were just a bundle over and over again.

He is still waiting for the tree star bridge to appear.

Zhuge Yaya was very guilty, and even more afraid that her clumsy lies would be exposed by the neighbors, and then hated by her elder brother, so she could only wander around with Zhuge Xingyun every day, but the news that "Shu Xingqiao was driven away by Zhuge Yaya" still flowed in. In the ears of Zhuge Xingyun.It was the first time in Zhuge Yaya's life that she faced and felt Zhuge Xingyun's anger directly.

There was no news from the people waiting, Zhuge Xingyun left Yuxiang with the undeliverable letter and her bad sister.The way Zhuge Xingyun treats her is the same as before, she once comforted herself that her brother has let go, but found that her brother has never let go.When she was young, she didn't know what was so good about that man, but when she got older and looked back, she could find many good things - for example, he was obviously a nobleman, but he didn't look down on their brothers and sisters; for example, although he lingered in the flowers, But he is always gentle towards women, even for such a bad person, he treats her gently; for example, he looks ignorant, but in fact he is very skilled in martial arts and has a very smart mind... He is very special, brother It must be that he cannot find someone more special and attractive than him, so he has never been able to fall in love with others.

She is always blaming herself, always thinking, with her elder brother's temperament, if she doesn't use those small tricks, it's fine if Shu Xingqiao accepts it, and Zhuge Xingyun doesn't have to suffer from lovesickness; if she refuses, maybe Zhuge Xingyun Just let it go and start over.But she couldn't wait for an answer, and this unresolved feeling was hanging in her heart, and she couldn't get relief for a long time... She owed her brother too much.

Zhuge Yaya looked at the familiar face in front of her. Before Zhuge Xingyun could introduce her, tears welled up in her eyes. She lowered her head and wiped her tears, and kept apologizing. The three of them seemed to have returned to the old days when they lived together in the dilapidated house. period of time.

"How can a beauty be wrong?" Hua Qianshu wiped her tears with a handkerchief as in the past, and said in a joking tone, "Why do you cry when you see me? Am I still so annoying?"

Zhuge Yaya kept shaking her head, choked with sobs and said, "It's okay...it's a good thing you're back..." This person was still the one she was familiar with.

"Yes, I'm back. Be good, don't cry."

Zhuge Yaya took a few steps back, glanced at Zhuge Xingyun and said to Hua Qianshu: "You guys have a good chat, I'll make you some refreshments." After speaking, she left accompanied by the maid and headed towards the kitchen went.

Hua Qianshu followed her figure until she disappeared.He sighed: "When did that naughty little girl become so elegant?"

Zhuge Xingyun resolutely said: "Impossible."

Hua Qianshu was brought back to his senses by his words, and after realizing the meaning of his words, he felt annoyed and ridiculous, and asked, "What do you think of me as?" Anyway, Zhuge Yaya was also regarded as the one I grew up watching.

Zhuge Xingyun stared at him for a while, making Hua Qianshu feel uncomfortable all over, and then replied: "Lust."

Hua Qianshu didn't deny it, let alone annoyed: "Everyone has a lustful heart——"

Zhuge Xingyun answered: "It's about estrus, it's about courtesy." This is also what Hua Qianshu said in the past.He stared at Hua Qianshu, and said solemnly: "In the years when I can't see you again, when I have evil thoughts about you, I will think of what you said."

"And then?" Hua Qianshu asked casually.

"You really want to know?"

It was rare for Hua Qianshu to be speechless. To be honest, the smile on his face could hardly hold back, and he was reflecting on why he came here.

Although Hua Qianshu didn't answer, Zhuge Xingyun still answered: "I will write "Book of Rites" silently."

Hearing this, Hua Qianshu couldn't help laughing: "Pfft, it's really you."

That's right, it's been a long time since I saw him, and he can hardly remember Zhuge Xingyun's temperament, so he thought... Now, he recalled the days when he teased Zhuge Xingyun about men and women ten years ago.

Compared with the image in memory, Zhuge Xingyun has grown too tall, and now he doesn't look as cute as before.

"It's a pity," Hua Qianshu sighed.

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you are too far from my favorite type. I can't respond to your feelings." Even if she responded, Hua Qianshu didn't think their "sweetness" would last long.

He is different from the past, he no longer pursues the so-called "single-mindedness", let alone thinks that he is a person who can devote his heart to anyone.

"Shouldn't you say 'how will you know if you don't try'?"

Hua Qianshu raised his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "How do you want to try?"

Sure enough, as in the past, with a little teasing, Zhuge Xingyun would blush like a little girl—but Hua Qianshu never thought that Zhuge Xingyun's shyness was hiding love.

Hua Qianshu withdrew his hands, turned his back to Zhuge Xingyun, and said, "No, you are different from them."

Zhuge Xingyun approached him and asked, "What's the difference?"

"We're friends."

"Friends? So, am I more important than them?"

"...Maybe." At least the time to get along with friends is much longer than that of dewy lovers.

"Sit with me!"

"No, I should go back." Hua Qianshu was about to leave when she heard Zhuge Xingyun say: "I want to hug you."

Hua Qianshu stamped her feet, and heard him pleading: "Is it okay?"

Hua Qianshu felt a headache, thought it over and over again, and thought it would be retribution, and helped her forehead. It's not a big deal after thinking about it, so she asked, "Where is the bedroom?"

"Are you going to stay?" Zhuge Xingyun said with surprise.

"...I'm asking about your bedroom."

"Okay, come with me."

I don't know what Hua Qianshu is going to do in his bedroom.

He waited for Hua Qianshu to turn around and face him before walking to the right. Subconsciously, he was worried that the person he had finally met would disappear without a trace. He would turn around every few steps to see if the person behind him was still there... He pushed the door open After entering the bedroom, Hua Qianshu entered the room and closed the door. Before he had time to ask about the situation, Hua Qianshu closed his eyes and opened his arms as if he was dead.

Zhuge Xingyun looked at him and took a step towards him.

"Huh?" Hua Qianshu, who hadn't seen the other party for a long time, opened his right eye and waved his finger, signaling him to hurry up.After receiving the permission, he stepped forward and hugged Hua Qianshu tightly into his arms.Hua Qianshu also folded his arms and hugged Zhuge Xingyun back.

"I like you."

"Know, know."

"Can you stay? At least let me know where you are."

"I'll try my best." Hua Qianshu patted his broad back.

Zhuge Xingyun hugged him for a long time, but he didn't intend to let go. Hua Qianshu realized: Is it really just a "hug"?

He really shouldn't have put his thoughts on Zhuge Xingyun.

For the first time, Hua Qianshu felt ashamed of her hooliganism.

"Shuxingqiao, can I ask your real name?" Zhuge Xingyun asked.

"Isn't it better to call it Shuxingqiao?" Anyway, it sounds better than his real name.

Even Prince Gong, whom he met for the first time, could understand through Hua Qianyu's words that he was the son of the Hua family. Hua Qianshu didn't understand how a dead-headed Dali Qing like Zhuge Xingyun could become.Since Zhuge Xingyun cooperated so well, it would be a pity if he didn't take advantage of this and hide it for another ten or eight years.

From the bottom of his heart, Hua Qianshu doesn't want to have anything to do with bureaucrats, let alone being chased to his door by his "old lover". This is also the reason why he will not provoke people at will in the capital, and it is also the reason why he uses the alias Wan Wan.

"You still want to hide from me? - What is your relationship with Supervisor Hua? He said you are his adopted brother, does he know your real identity?" Zhuge Xingyun found out that "Yinhuo" is the current owner of Huamanlou , following this clue and Hua Qianyu's lead to new clues, it should not be difficult to find out the true identity of Shuxingqiao.

Zhuge Xingyun is not in a hurry for the answers that can be obtained at any time, and he hopes that Hua Qianshu will tell him in person.

Facing his question, Hua Qianshu didn't answer, but turned around and pushed Zhuge Xingyun to the door, kissed the corner of Zhuge Xingyun's lips, and said with a smile: "I don't want my lover to find my family—now... "He put his hand into Zhuge Xingyun's lapel, lowered his voice, leaned into Zhuge Xingyun's ear and said, "Do you still want to know who I am? Or...to be my lover?"
