Jinwuzang charming boy

It was quiet all the way back to the city.

Liu Che was lying on Chen Xiaojiao's lap, eyes closed, expressionless, thinking of something.

It was getting dark already.

The carriage stopped in front of the Wanxiang Pavilion, and Nie Lu took Gu Qingcheng, who had no hope of life, out of the carriage, looked up at the sky, and then said to the people in the carriage: "It's getting late, why don't we stay in the pavilion again?" Stay overnight?"

Chen Xiaojiao lowered her head when she heard the words, the person on her lap frowned slightly, but there was no response, so he looked up at the two of them and nodded, then signaled the two of them and the coachman to leave first with his eyes.

After everyone left, the carriage fell into silence.

Chen Xiaojiao raised her hand and placed it on the man's face. With her fingertips, she traced the man's facial features little by little. Every curve seemed to be familiar... It was the proof that they were inseparable for so many years. I watched him grow up from a little boy to the present handsome appearance.

Chen Xiaojiao suddenly wanted to laugh, so he raised the corners of his mouth.

... I have never seen what kind of eyes I am looking at you with, but I can probably guess it.

... I am a very stubborn person. If I decide on one thing, I will probably grit my teeth and carry it to the end. No matter what others say, I have to take a look at the Yellow River before I give up.

...Just like when I promised my cheap mother in the study that I would leave the capital and leave you in the future, I also thought that if I had some free time, I would secretly dig a tunnel to your bedroom like the book said.

So if one day in the future, I really leave you...

It must be because of you too, my Archer.

——The position you want to stand on is too high, Archer, brother probably couldn't stand with you at that time...

"elder brother--"

There was a burst of warmth in her palm, Chen Xiaojiao turned her head and looked over, and was facing those dark eyes with some brilliance.

"Brother, Archer won't let you go."

The man's expression was as solemn and serious as if he was taking an oath, and he kissed Chen Xiaojiao's palm with a very light force, the previous anxiety was no longer in his eyes, only unshakable determination was left at this moment.

"..."

Chen Xiaojiao paused, but finally nodded, without saying anything.

The next day.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, Chen Xiaojiao opened the curtain, and got out of the carriage alone.

He bowed his head and explained a few words to the coachman, then looked at the people on the mountainside and walked away.

After burning a stick of incense, Chen Xiaojiao stopped in front of the thorn fence, facing the same young man in sackcloth from yesterday, looking at him with a smile——

"Yesterday I guessed that the young master will come again today, but I guessed it right."

Chen Xiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded in relief: "...for bothering you again, I came here without invitation, I hope Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu will forgive me."

Thinking about the woman's age, it was still a little difficult for Mrs. Xu to say, Chen Xiaojiao paused a little embarrassed.

The sackclothed gentleman didn't take it seriously, and invited Chen Xiaojiao into the room with a smile: "My sister said today that she has no interest in painting, so I won't waste your time."

As soon as Fang entered, Chen Xiaojiao hadn't adjusted to the dim light in the room, when she saw a woman sitting on the rattan soft couch facing him with a smile and greeted him——

"Master Chen Xiaohou is here, why haven't I seen your little tail today?"

"..."

Chen Xiaojiao had seen women's carelessness before, but she was called out of her identity without any preparation. Chen Xiaojiao was shocked, paused for a moment, and her thoughts turned to the phrase "little tail" .

"...He went out with Mr. Nie to do some business today."

"Oh? Why didn't you take you with you? I thought he would want to keep you by his side all the time."

"Sister, don't mess around."

Seeing Chen Xiaojiao's blushed face, the boy in sackcloth couldn't help but speak a few words of reproach.

"Yes, yes, no nonsense, no nonsense..." The woman turned over neatly and got down on the bed, and walked up to the leader of the two, Mr. Ma Yi, with a smile on her face, "Isn't it okay for my sister to listen to my elder brother for everything?"

The young man nodded and lightly tapped the woman's forehead.

Chen Xiaojiao, who was shown off invisibly: ...I still feel that something is weird...why...

"It hurts..." The woman exaggeratedly let out a low cry, then rubbed her forehead that was knocked down, and raised her face to look at the man, "My sister is so obedient, can I reward her?"

Then before the sackclothed man opened his mouth, Chen Xiaojiao saw the woman kiss the man on the lips.

Chen Xiaojiao: ...I must have lost my memory... Can anyone tell me what happened just now (￣Д￣?)...

...He also finally knew...since yesterday, since yesterday's painting, what is the weirdness that he has been feeling indistinctly...

——Clearly it's this kind of behavior... Madam Xu, who doesn't care about trivial matters, looks at her elder brother in exactly the same way as his family's Archer looks at him...

There is also that painting, there is only one person in the painting, and it is not obvious how much ink is used to outline the area of ​​the silk painting, but it just makes people feel, as if the whole world is drawn with that one person as the center. The Creator of the painted world is only painting that one person.

There is an obvious emotion in that painting, I can't tell what it is, but Chen Xiaojiao just feels... If he were to paint his Archer, it would be such an emotion.

Chen Xiaojiao, who had been dazed for a while, slowly came back to her senses, and then tried her best to make herself look so expressionless, noble and glamorous——

"Aren't the two... brothers and sisters?"

"Yes." The woman succeeded in stealing the kiss, destroying Chen Xiaojiao's three views with a happy face.

It was still the young man in sackcloth who couldn't stand it anymore, half apologetic and half helpless to explain: "My sister and I are both adopted children by my grandmother, and my grandmother only recognizes my sister as a foster daughter, I don't take the surname Xu , is just an outsider to the Xu family."

At the end of the words, there was a hint of loneliness, Chen Xiaojiao thought to herself that it was another old story, this Xu family's joke was a good one to listen to, but there were still many unresolved worries.

Thinking of worrying, Chen Xiaojiao didn't bother to look into other people's family's difficulties, and looked directly at the woman: "I will ask Madam Xu to inform you in detail about the unfinished business yesterday."

The woman smiled and shook her head: "I'm not a god, I can only see the lifeline that you join or divide, rise or fall, why it rises and falls, why it joins and why it divides, I can't even look at it."

Chen Xiaojiao was stunned, and then a look of sadness flashed across her eyes.

The woman looked up at Chen Xiaojiao, countless complex emotions flashed through her eyes, until she finally turned into a touch of determination, she reached out to the ribbon around her waist, took out a beautiful brocade bag, and was slightly surprised at the man beside her His eyes moved to Chen Xiaojiao's eyes: "This thing is left by my grandma, and it is the only one in the world - if you make a decision one day in the future, it can help you... But -"

"..." Chen Xiaojiao looked up at her.

The woman's eyes were sharp: "I want you to agree to me, regardless of the time and place."

Chen Xiaojiao paused, fixed her eyes on the woman, and said after a while: "It has nothing to do with Archer's interests, I will agree to anything."
