Don't go back to hometown

The encounter with Ren Xiaoyao seemed to be just a trivial matter, even though it caused waves in the hearts of both Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng, they both ignored it by coincidence.

It's not that Jiang Xianyu didn't hate before, but Xie Cheng had avenged him in his previous life, and as long as Ren Xiaoyao didn't come to provoke him in this life, he would no longer take him to heart.

As for Xie Cheng, all he cares about is Jiang Xianyu's attitude towards Ren Xiaoyao.As long as Jiang Xianyu doesn't care, he can convince himself that he can endure the murderous intent towards Ren Xiaoyao.

Without further words, the two reached a tacit agreement and left Ren Xiaoyao behind.

But only on the surface.

Jiang Xianyu had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask Xie Cheng for proof, so he could only observe Xie Cheng secretly, looking for clues.

But Xie Cheng quietly sent someone to inquire, and he was relieved when he learned that Ren Xiaoyao had stayed in Yangzhou for two days before leaving.

-

July is approaching, and the heat is even hotter.

The scorching heat makes people tired, but Jiang Baizhou has to go out for another round of darts.

Mother Jiang is helping him pack his luggage.

——For so many years, when Father Jiang and Jiang Baizhou traveled far away, she took care of them personally.

"Mother, it's fine for the son to come by himself."

"Mother just prepared some emergency supplies for you, and you have to pack your underwear yourself."

Mother Jiang opened a small package made of tarpaulin. Inside were small paper packages with names and uses written in small letters with hairpin flowers.

"This is a sore medicine to stop bleeding, this is to dispel heat, this is to reduce fever, this is ginseng... Of course, it's best to be safe, don't use any of them."

Jiang Baizhou took the things away, "I'm sorry for your trouble."

"You..."

Mother Jiang sighed, swallowed what she wanted to say, and changed the subject, "If you ask me, you are already 25, and you should have married a wife long ago. Let your wife handle these matters."

Jiang Baizhou choked, looking at Mother Jiang with a little shyness and helplessness, "Mother..."

"Okay, okay, mother will stop talking." Mother Jiang said with a smile, "Anyway, if you fancy a girl, mother will propose marriage for you, as long as you don't stay single for the rest of your life!"

Jiang Baizhou froze suddenly, avoiding Jiang's mother's sight.

Mother Jiang's eyes lit up: "There really are? Which girl?"

Jiang Baizhou got up and fled, "Let's talk about it later."

"This child!" Jiang's mother got up and chased after two steps, "Even looks as shy as his father."

The ears are red and red.

Jiang Xianyu came over and happened to bump into Jiang Baizhou.

"Brother, what are you doing? You are running in such a hurry."

"Oh, Xiaoyu, you...why are you here?"

Jiang Xianyu: "???"

"Isn't this my home?"

Why can't you go home after school?

"Ahem——" Jiang Baizhou choked, "No, I mean why did you come here?"

Jiang Xianyu: "Isn't this dad saying that you're going to send a dart tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"We would have liked to have told you sooner."

Mother Jiang came out when she heard the voice, and gave Jiang Xianyu an angry look, "But take a look at yourself, you are wandering outside all day long, and you don't come home after dark, how can you have time to listen to us?"

Jiang Xianyu immediately stepped forward and hugged Jiang's mother's arm, "Mother~ I have to go to the academy every day, how can I fool around outside!"

"It's better to be like this!" Mother Jiang poked Jiang Xianyu's forehead, "If you still want to run away from home, I will pretend that I never gave birth to your son."

"Mother..." Jiang Xianyu suddenly had a sore nose, and hugged her arm coquettishly, "Son won't do it."

"That sounds good!" Mother Jiang pushed him pretending to be disgusted, "You annoying bastard!"

Jiang Xianyu was relentless, holding her arm tightly and never loosening.

Jiang Baizhou looked at his younger brother who was acting like a spoiled brat, and his mother who spoke disgust but whose eyes were full of tenderness, and envied their intimacy from the bottom of his heart.

He thought he couldn't be like his younger brother, pestering his mother for intimacy.

Even if there was once, it was an old thing when I was a child of ignorance.

……

At night, the Jiang family held a simple banquet as usual, for Jiang Baizhou and a few bodyguards to practice.

"Father and mother don't have to worry, my son is only going to Hangzhou this time, walking the Grand Canal, and he will be back in six or seven days."

Jiang Xianyu gave his brother a lion's head, "Brother, take your time, don't worry, I'm at home."

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother looked at each other after hearing this, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Jiang Baizhou was also a little surprised, but more pleased.He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Jiang Xianyu, "Then I will leave it to you at home, and I will bring you a piece when the darts come back later."

Jiang Xianyu gnawed at the ribs, "Yes, but I'm not free recently. Xie Cheng is going to take the exam in Jinling soon, and I have to escort him there."

Father Jiang raised his eyebrows: "Xie Cheng still wants you to escort me? I'm afraid it's not because you want to play."

"no!"

Jiang Xianyu gnawed on half a piece of spare ribs, swallowed it, and vomited it, covered his mouth and mumbled: "I promised Xie Cheng."

Mother Jiang: "It's really to accompany him to take the exam, didn't he take the opportunity to run away from home?"

Jiang Xianyu spat out the bones and swallowed the meat forcibly, and hastily defended: "Really! I will never... cough cough... I will never run away from home!"

Seeing that he was almost choking in anxiety, Jiang's mother hurriedly said: "Okay! Mom and Dad believe you."

Jiang Baizhou handed him a cup of tea, "It just so happens that students entrust our bodyguard agency to escort them every year, and then we will go to Jinling together."

Jiang Xianyu drank a cup of tea, looked at Jiang's father and Jiang's mother with aggrieved eyes, "I have brother to accompany me, now you can rest assured?"

It can be seen that he shouldn't leave the book and run away from home in the first place, but now his parents don't believe him at all!

"Don't worry! We must rest assured."

Jiang's father comforted him, "Originally, my parents didn't insist on detaining you at home, but they were just afraid that you would cause trouble due to your youthful vigor and martial arts."

Father Jiang sighed as he said this, and said earnestly: "If we are by your side, we can still support you. I'm afraid that we will be too late to reach you, and we are worried but helpless."

In his previous life, Jiang Xianyu was tired of hearing the familiar advice, so he didn't take it to heart.But Jiang Xianyu, who has returned from rebirth, knows exactly how his previous self made his parents worry and heartbroken.

He lowered his head and suppressed his sore nose, "My son knows..."

Hearing that his voice was different, Jiang's mother tugged at Jiang's father's sleeve.

"Cough, it's good that you understand." Father Jiang concluded, "Anyway, you're just like that when you study, so let's follow your brother in the future."

Jiang Xianyu: "..."

He pursed his lips and looked at his father angrily.

Jiang's mother glared at Jiang's father, turned her head to look at Jiang Xianyu tenderly, and comforted: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, dear boy, we can study as long as we want, and study for the rest of our lives!"

"..."

Jiang Xianyu choked, feeling guilty, wronged, and moved, all frightened back, "...That's not necessary, I'll just think about it casually."

Anyway, you will not agree with me to take the imperial examination.

Besides, I can't pass the exam.

"Okay, big brother and sister-in-law, why don't you practice it for Bai Zhou and the others today, so don't catch Xiao Yu and teach you a lesson." An old bodyguard who had been with Jiang's father for many years watched the show for a long time, and persuaded him.

"That's right." Another bodyguard echoed, "I think Xiao Yu is sensible now, isn't that good!"

The old escort raised his cup, "Come, come, replace wine with tea, I wish our trip safe and sound, and everything goes well!"

According to the rules of the Ping An Escort Bureau, no alcohol is allowed before and during the darts.So there was no wine prepared during the banquet.After everyone toasted and prayed, they almost broke up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Jiang Baizhou and others have to get up early tomorrow.

Jiang Xianyu also washed up early and went to bed, but tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, thinking about what his parents said today, and recalling the foolish things he did in his previous life, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. When he opened and closed his eyes, his parents and brother looked desperate.

And Xie Cheng.

Thinking of Xie Cheng, I felt sore again.

He simply got up and got out of bed, climbed over the wall to find someone.

Unexpectedly, the lights in Xie Cheng's courtyard were still lit, and he could see a familiar figure in front of the window, reading at his desk.

Jiang Xianyu stood on the wall and watched for a while, then jumped down, and tapped on the window lightly.

From the projection in front of the window, it can be seen that the people in the room immediately looked up to the window, got up and walked over.

tuk tuk-

Jiang Xianyu knocked on the window deliberately and eagerly, and the people in the room immediately quickened their pace and pushed the window open.

Looking at each other, Jiang Xianyu tilted his head and smiled at him lying on the window edge.

"You didn't sleep either?" he said. "I couldn't sleep either."

Xie Cheng bent his lips, turned around to open the door for him, before leaving the window, Jiang Xianyu jumped in with the window edge.

The place where he stood was too narrow, he staggered a bit, and lay on Xie Cheng's back.

The fragrance after bathing came to the nostrils, and Xie Cheng's body froze for a moment.

Jiang Xianyu noticed it and immediately let go.

"Hey, I'm coming to see you."

Want to cover up.

Xie Cheng clenched his fists tightly and didn't say a word. Instead, he went to pour him a cup of tea, and then asked, "Why can't you sleep?"

Jiang Xianyu sat down on Xie Cheng's desk, "My brother is going to Hangzhou tomorrow."

"Ah."

"And then I got scolded again."

"Huh?" His narration was illogical, and Xie Cheng was really puzzled, "Why scold you?"

Jiang Xianyu started to complain, and his tone was aggrieved, "They are afraid that I will run away from home, so they won't let me accompany you to Jinling."

Xie Cheng was slightly surprised: "...you want to go with me?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Xianyu asked back, "I can't go?"

In his previous life, he had promised Xie Cheng to accompany him to the Jinling exam, but unfortunately he got awkward and failed to fulfill the promise.

After that, it was a farewell for many years, and the time of goodbye was already separated by yin and yang.

If he had known earlier that it would be a farewell, he would never be awkward with Xie Cheng, let alone shrink back...

Xie Chengmo was silent for a moment, then said: "Tomorrow, I will go to persuade Master and Mistress."

Jiang Xianyu laughed immediately: He knew it!Xie Cheng also wanted him to go!

"No, my parents have already agreed." He crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly and looked at Xie Cheng.

Xie Cheng gradually understood that the boy did not come to sue, but to seek praise.

He couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, but he was still "thinking about the other party" and said, "At least half a month before and after, it will delay your homework."

Jiang Xianyu waved his hand nonchalantly, "Anyway, my father said that I'm just like that when I study, so let's delay if you delay."

Xie Cheng stopped talking.

As long as he wanted to, he could find more reasons and excuses to persuade the boy not to go.

But he doesn't want to at the moment.

He wanted to be inseparable from the boy, but regretted not being able to do so in his previous life.

Now that the boy is willing, it couldn't be better.

Jiang Xianyu got down from the desk, "Did I delay your review?"

"No--"

Before the words fell, both of them heard footsteps outside the courtyard.

Jiang Xianyu's ears were sensitive, and he heard the jingle of the ring, and immediately recognized the person's identity from the gait and voice, and slid into the inner room.

Xie Cheng had no time to stop it.

tuk tuk-

"Ah Cheng, are you asleep?"

Xie Mu's voice sounded outside the door.

Xie Cheng opened the door, and saw Mother Xie standing outside the door, and the maid behind her was carrying a lantern and a food box.

"The servant said that the lamp was still on in your house, so mother asked the kitchen to make soup and bring it to you."

Xie Cheng led Xie's mother into the house, "Thank you, mother."

Mother Xie asked the maidservant to bring out the soup, and said, "It's pigeon soup, you can go to sleep after drinking it, don't stay up late."

"My son knows." Xie Cheng helped her to sit down, and glanced at the inner room without any trace.

Xie Mu patted the back of his hand, "Mother knows you work hard, but you have to pay attention to your body."

Xie Cheng withdrew his gaze, smiled at Xie's mother and said, "My son has written it down, mother can rest assured."

Mother Xie didn't stay long, watched him drink the soup, told him to go to bed early, and left with her maid.

After seeing off Xie's mother, Xie Cheng returned to the house, but there was no movement in the inner room.

He walked in, only to see a figure arched under the quilt on the bed, and he didn't move when he heard him come in.

"Xiao Yu?" Xie Cheng stepped forward and pulled back the quilt, and saw Jiang Xianyu was sweating profusely inside, but his eyes were closed, and he looked like he was about to sleep.

Jiang Xianyu was disturbed by the sudden influx of light and fresh air, raised a little eyelid, and looked at Xie Cheng in a daze.

"Auntie is gone?" he murmured in a low voice.

"Ah."

Jiang Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and rolled into the bed, touched the pillow skillfully, pouted his buttocks to face Xie Cheng, and fell asleep like no one else.

Xie Cheng: "..."

He shook his head helplessly and smiled.

After washing lightly, Xie Cheng changed into pajamas, blew out the candles, and lay down beside Jiang Xianyu.

Looking sideways at Jiang Xianyu's back, he breathed lightly.

It took a long time before he dared to reach out and hold the other party in his arms.

At first, he held her arms in a vain manner, and then slowly tightened his arms when he saw that the other party was not moving.

The person in his arms suddenly trembled, and Xie Cheng froze.

After standing still for a while, Xie Cheng's heart beat like a drum and he dared not move.

The man in his arms suddenly turned around, and just nestled into his arms without leaning to one side or another.

It's exactly what I want, but that's all.

Xie Cheng slowly curled the corners of his lips, lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance of the boy's hair, and slept soundly all night.
