"My son...get up..."

"Wait a little longer... my knees are still a little numb," Liu Chongming lied against his will, and made an excuse for his inability to look away: "Boss Lin is right, your face should also be healed, go tomorrow Find a doctor, or else...or..."

Qu Chenzhou gave a very soft "hmm".

In fact, Liu Chongming didn't know what "otherwise" was, but racked his brains to explain to himself, the numbness on his knees receded little by little, he propped himself up on his knees, and finally thought of a good excuse.

"Otherwise, it would be too shameful to take you out in the future."

Qu Shenzhou's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"It's too embarrassing..." A long time ago, he used to cry like this, twitching, and buried his face in his knees: "My lord, they said that the emperor didn't bring me to meet people because he disliked me for being ugly. It's too embarrassing to take me out."

"No!" The boy at that time asked angrily, "Who said that! I'll teach him a lesson!"

"Don't go..." He pulled him back tearfully: "If you go, they should know that I sued you, and when you are not around, they will bully me again. In fact, I...I know it myself... "

"Shen Zhou! Look up at me! You are not ugly at all! Don't worry, I will find someone to cure you! No matter what!"

"After it's cured... what will happen..." He asked anxiously, selfishly.

But Chongming didn't give him an answer that day, and he didn't see anyone for several days. When we met again, he put a small jade pendant with a bell in his hand.

"I asked you from the Buddhist monastery, it can keep you safe forever," Chongming blushed, and said in a low voice, "It's also... a token from me, wait for me..."

Those four words are the backbone that will support him in the years to come - wait for me to marry you.

In the silence, Qu Chenzhou listened to his heavy breathing, finally opened his eyes after a while, hummed, and then slowly moved out from between Liu Chongming's knees.

For a moment, he was lost in thought, and he forgot to pull Liu to wake up again, only remembering to answer again when he pushed the door to go out.

"Xie Shizi reminded me, I understand."

There was no one under him who was afraid of being crushed. Liu Chongming sat on the ground with his buttocks tilted, grinning and rolled up his trouser legs. It was more serious than expected, and his arms were bruised, which was injured by falling firewood. .

But he didn't care about these injuries, he sat on the ground blankly for a while, and suddenly slapped himself.

"What the fuck am I talking about."

At night, when he went to bed, he found out that Qu Shenzhou didn't live in the sarong, and moved to the east wing.

Now that there is another Danlang in the inner courtyard, the two of them should be in a reasonable relationship, but Liu Chongming lay on his back on the bed for a long time, and the sound of insects outside the window seemed to be noisier than before, which made him unable to sleep all the time. Some aggrieved.

Thinking of him as a majestic prince, why should he kick out people from the outside world just to show others, Qu Shenzhou is his man, why should he suffer such grievances.

When he woke up, he was standing outside the door of the east wing in a strange manner, with his knuckles on the door, he had already knocked, and there was no way out.

He thought he might have gone insane without knowing it.

Qu Chenzhou quickly came to open the door, only put on a jacket, without sleeves, pinched the front with two fingers, and looked at him from behind the half-closed door: "Why isn't your son asleep yet?"

"Come out and take a walk." Liu Chongming stretched out his hand to push the door, and stepped over the threshold by himself without waiting for anyone to invite him.

The East Wing is not big, there is no distinction between the inside and the outside, there is only this one, he saw the wound medicine he had sent on the table at a glance, weighed it in his hand, and asked: "Where is the wound?"

Qu Chenzhou closed the door behind and followed, "Back your back. Don't bother me..."

Seeing Liu Chongming gesture to the chair, he hesitated for a moment, then sat down and let go of the fingers pinching the front.

Liu Chongming helped him throw the clothes aside, and then looked at the wound. The two shoulder blades protruded clearly, and the abrasion was the heaviest. Along the soft and undulating back, there was also a dark red near the lower back.

Looking at the situation on his back, Qu Chenzhou couldn't see the injury on his back, so he could only apply a little bit of it gropingly.

It's really a tough temper that doesn't ask for others.

Liu Chongming sighed, seeing the scattered hair sticking to the wound and the medicine, he gathered it together, and the long black hair slipped from his fingers like running water and fine sand.

He was in a daze, held his breath and stroked the hair again, his fingers seemed to be inserted into the wet clouds, and the fingertips were soft and smooth to the touch.

Qu Chenzhou tilted his head, tied it up himself, and pulled it to his chest: "Thank you, my lord."

His hands were empty, and a sense of melancholy surged up unconsciously. Liu Chongming glanced at the hair, wrapped it around his fingertips with gauze, poured some medicine, and gently touched the wound.

"Next time, if you have something to do, ask someone to help you. Don't hold on to yourself. No one will laugh at you. Does it hurt? Make your hair higher to block it."

Qu Chenzhou shook his head lightly, brushing up his loose hair.

Without the cover, you can clearly see a soft hollow in the back of the neck. Liu Chongming's fingers caressed on the butterfly bone, and somehow remembered what King Ning said - the eyes of ecstasy, and couldn't help but go down the back look.

The ridge groove is deep, forming a dark shadow at the waistband, and it is blocked when it goes down.

As if he couldn't bear the silence, he soon heard Qu Shenzhou ask softly: "Isn't your son going there?"

Liu Chongming quickly realized what "over there" refers to. Normally, he would probably have to run out of words, but today he knew that he had said something wrong this afternoon, so he honestly confessed: "I won't go."

After thinking about it, he explained again: "This afternoon...it's not me, it's Fang Wuyang. He heard that I was going to buy someone, so he begged me early in the morning to let him try something new..."

"When I brought Danlang back, I sent someone to find Fang Wuyang, and when I left the two of you alone, I went to pick him up."

"Don't worry, he will imitate the voices of many people, blindfolded, so Danlang won't find out."

Liu Chongming racked his brains, he wanted to explain clearly, but he didn't want to lower his stance at the same time, he was full of anxiety, he was afraid that Qu Shenzhou would say "Your Majesty doesn't need to explain this to me", and he would be too embarrassed to be ashamed.

But he soon discovered that he was still too naive and thought too much about Qu Chenzhou.

The man pondered for a moment, and seriously agreed with his approach in terms of facts.

"That's good too. He was born in the Danlang Academy. If the son goes to battle in person, he may soon find out that the son's skills are jerky. The so-called lingering flowers are not worthy of the name. It's better for Fang Wuyang to go."

"What did you say?" He thought he had misheard, and asked again in a daze.

Qu Chenzhou explained to him succinctly: "I said that my son's bed skills are unfamiliar..."

"You!" Liu Chongming's blood rushed to the top of his head, and he unconsciously exerted force in his hand, poking his back: "Say it again!"

Qu Chenzhou groaned in pain, and asked in surprise, "Did I say something wrong?"

Liu Chongming felt that he was about to explode with anger in the next moment, and he couldn't help but feel evil in his heart: "It's true that my skills are jerky. Could it be that you have slept with someone?"

He was originally angry, but he said it casually, but he saw Qu Shenzhou's shoulders tense suddenly.

"..."

This silence is the most obvious acquiescence. Liu Chongming felt sour in his heart, and after holding it for a long time, he finally couldn't help asking: "Are you...who...you like?"

This time the silence became very long, and finally gave an answer: "There are people who like it, and there are people who don't like it."

Liu Chongming's fingers resting on his back stopped.

Qu Chenzhou turned his face away, without any smile in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I can't comfort myself by saying 'it's all over', since I'm alive, they're all going to die."

It was the first time Liu Chongming saw Qu Shenzhou's murderous look, he didn't feel terrible, but felt a little distressed.

But the consolation at this time is a kind of pity that does not need to exist, and the other party is not the person who needs pity.

He wanted to ask about the past, but he knew that he would definitely not get any results. After thinking for a long time, he softly replied, "Then I will help you."

Qu Chenzhou lowered his head slightly, and returned to his silent state, wondering if he heard his words.

After applying the medicine on the scapula, his fingers slid down the ridge, Qu Chenzhou straightened up following the gesture, and the skin slid under the fingers. It was a wonderful touch, but it made him feel that something was wrong.

He had no choice but to squat down halfway to cover up the reaction he shouldn't have, and went to paint a piece on his lower back, and suddenly saw a little light brown on the edge of the belt in his peripheral vision, which was actually similar to the birthmark under his eyes.

But before his fingers touched it, Qu Chenzhou, who had been sitting obediently all this time, jumped up like a live fish on a chopping board, took a few steps back quickly, covered the birthmark, and said half ashamed and half angry: "Don't touch it!" !"

After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have overreacted, and quickly put on his clothes in embarrassment.

"Thank you son, it's late at night, son, go back and rest."

Liu Chongming was surprised, but since it was someone's taboo, he didn't force it, but he didn't leave, instead he stretched out his hand: "Come back to sleep with me, Dongsun here, I can't sleep well in the morning."

"It doesn't matter, I sleep very badly..."

Liu Chongming was determined to take the man away tonight, and proposed again: "Shall I play a game with you?"

"How to play?" Qu Chenzhou was surprised, but also a little interested - they used to play some games, which seemed silly to outsiders, but they never tired of it.

Liu Chongming smiled, pulled off the hair tie and handed it over: "You blindfolded."

Qu Chenzhou took it, didn't ask anything, just blindfolded obediently, and stood quietly on the spot.

"Give me a hand," Liu Chongming put up a hand: "From now on, if I tell you how to walk, you will follow and take two steps forward."

This is the game that my brother always played with him in the past. My brother once said——Chongming, try to give all your trust to my brother, and my brother will take you away.

At first he was always apprehensive, afraid that his brother would give the wrong password, or that he would fall if he took a step forward, so he always had to pull down the blindfold to see.

Gradually, he knew that his brother was right, he just needed to trust him, and his brother would definitely protect him.

Later, he also wanted to play the role of the guide. The elder brother was blindfolded, and he stumbled and stumbled under his bad leadership.

He laughed triumphantly, but his elder brother only patted on his clothes and didn't untie the cloth bands on his eyes, letting him take them away.

Later on, he no longer made bad intentions on purpose, but became more and more cautious——if someone truly trusted him, how could he dare to let him down, and how could he be willing to let him down.

Since my brother passed away, I dare not recall these details.The more I think about it, the more I realize that it is so precious to have someone who is willing to trust me wholeheartedly.

Before Qu Chenzhou blindfolded, they could all see the table not far in front of them.But according to Liu Chongming's judgment, Qu Shenzhou's two steps just stopped at the edge of the table and would not hit him.

He stared at the person in front of him, wondering if Qu Chenzhou would take these two steps.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Qu Shenzhou took the first step, and then took the second step, standing still, his body was less than a punch away from the edge of the table.

Liu Chongming's eyes suddenly turned red, and he didn't dare to speak immediately, for fear of hearing his choked up voice when he opened his mouth.

"Shen Zhou...Turn left four steps."

"Forward, stop, raise your foot over the threshold, take two steps, go down the steps..."

The moon was bright and the wind was clear, insects were buzzing, his voice was soft, as if he was holding some fragile treasure, he led Qu Shenzhou to the bedroom step by step.

When I stood in the atrium for a while, I looked back and saw the overlapping shadows of the two, and felt that the night seemed to be much gentler than before.

That night, Liu Chongming slept soundly for the first time in a long time, and he didn't know whether it was a hallucination or a dream, he seemed to be holding one hand all the time.
