Don't go back to hometown

"Ren Dabao?"

Compared with chasing after Ren Xiaoyao, Xie Cheng cared more about the name Jiang Xianyu spit out.

Jiang Xianyu, who was grabbed by the arm, froze on the spot, not daring to look up into Xie Cheng's eyes.

In this life, he only met Ren Xiaoyao twice, so he shouldn't know his real name.

Even in his previous life, after his death, after investigation by Xie Cheng, he found out that even Ren Xiaoyao's name was fake.

This is exactly what Xie Cheng was puzzled about.He thought that Ren Xiaoyao shouldn't have revealed his real name to Jiang Xianyu after he had lied to Jiang Xianyu for so long.Unexpectedly, Jiang Xianyu actually knew.

It seems that Ren Xiaoyao is familiar with the methods of deceiving people's hearts, and half-truths and half-false things are more likely to be believed.

Jiang Xianyu also knew that he couldn't hide it.

This is not the first time he has acted strangely about Ren Xiaoyao's affairs, Xie Cheng is so smart, if he was born again, he must have discovered his difference long ago.

Even Jiang Xianyu suddenly felt that if Xie Cheng didn't want him to find out that he was also reborn, he could definitely hide it well.It might be intentional to be discovered by him.

Xie Chengzai told him that he was also reborn from the previous life, and he would hurt what he hurt and hate what he hated.

And he foolishly guarded that layer of window paper, thinking that he could return a 17-year-old Jiang Xianyu.

But I forgot that I was not 17 years old.

"What's the matter?" Duan Shuwen walked over, "You knew that one just now?"

Seeing him coming, Xie Cheng let go of Jiang Xianyu.

Jiang Xianyu was taken aback for a moment, and reached out to take Xie Cheng's hand.

Xie Cheng paused slightly, and looked at Jiang Xianyu.Jiang Xianyu raised his head and looked at him eagerly.

"Don't be angry," said his eyes.

Xie Cheng received his meaning and smiled at him.

Jiang Xianyu felt relieved and let go of his hand.

Jiang Baizhou also followed, "Is that Ren Xiaoyao?"

Jiang Xianyu took a look at Xie Cheng, nodded and said: "Well, his facial features have changed, maybe because he wore a human leather mask and changed his identity, but the sword did not change."

Ren Xiaoyao cherished that sword very much, probably because he was reluctant to change it, and he couldn't find a new sword in his hand, or maybe his new identity was flawless and he was not afraid of being recognized by him.

"I didn't expect him to change his appearance to take the martial arts exam, and even took a fake name called 'Xie Yancheng'!" Jiang Xian said angrily, "Who is he disgusting?!"

Xie Cheng was surprised when he heard the name, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Even Jiang Baizhou and Duan Shuwen felt that the other party was deliberately provoking, and frowned.

"Ah Cheng has any grievances with him?" Duan Shuwen asked.

Jiang Xianyu told about the fact that Ren Xiaoyao broke into Xie's mansion at night and was wanted by the government, Duan Shuwen's face became more serious, "Why don't you report him directly to the government?"

Jiang Baizhou shook his head: "No, he changed his face and dared to take the martial arts test. He must have been fully prepared. Even if it is a human-leather mask, there are some that cannot be torn off. Before we are sure, we should not act rashly."

He looked at Jiang Xianyu, "You were impulsive just now, you shouldn't startle the snake."

Jiang Xianyu was startled, then lowered his head guiltily, grabbed Xie Cheng's sleeve and hid behind him.

Xie Cheng held his wrist, and said to Jiang Baizhou: "Senior brother has a lot of connections, why don't you check out his new identity."

Jiang Baizhou nodded, seeing Jiang Xianyu using Xie Cheng as a shield again, he didn't know what to say about him.

"Let's put this matter aside for now." He looked at Duan Shuwen, and picked up the wine jar in his hand, "Xiao Yu and I are about to pay a visit and brought you a jar of good wine."

Duan Shuwen loves to drink, and said with a smile: "That's just right, I booked a private room in Wangjiang Tower just now, and I will clean up the dust for you."

……

During the dinner, Duan Shuwen tried his best to invite Jiang Baizhou and Jiang Xianyu to live with him.

Jiang Baizhou declined politely: "I have a lot of chores on hand, and I'm always busy. I'm afraid I'll disturb you, so it's more convenient to live in an escort."

He added: "If you don't mind, let Xiaoyu live with you. Mr. Liu has given him homework, please supervise and supervise him."

"Brother!" Jiang Xianyu bit the lion's head and stared at him, protesting that he would talk about it whenever he met.

Jiang Baizhou was cold-blooded and ruthless: "Don't think about playing all day long, delaying their study. Finish your homework every day and bring it to me for inspection."

The lion's head in Jiang Xianyu's mouth fell into the bowl with a thud, "Brother, you have changed, you haven't even checked my homework at home."

Jiang Baizhou choked, and patted him on the head: "Brother is negligent in his duties, we must check in the future."

Jiang Xianyu: "???"

I pit myself?

Seeing Jiang Xianyu's "regret" expression, both Xie Cheng and Duan Shuwen couldn't help laughing.

Duan Shuwen has no siblings, and when he sees Xiao Yu occasionally, he thinks it would be nice to have such a younger brother—lively!

After the banquet was over, Duan Shuwen was slightly drunk, and was helped by Ping An and Shimo into the carriage going back.Xie Cheng accompanied Jiang Xianyu and Jiang Baizhou back to the bodyguard office, took Jiang Xianyu's luggage, and took him back to live with Duan Shuwen.

When leaving, Jiang Baizhou repeatedly told Jiang Xianyu to be good-looking and not to disturb Duan Shuwen and Xie Cheng's study.

Jiang Xian answered yes repeatedly, and hurriedly dragged Xie Cheng away.

Jinling is more prosperous and lively than Yangzhou, and with the upcoming provincial examination, there are many more people gathered here than usual, and the night market is also brightly lit.

Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng walked through the night market and walked into the alley where Duan Shuwen lived, and the hustle and bustle gradually faded away.

Tonight is the last quarter moon, the moonlight is not very bright, the long alley looks deep and quiet, there are lanterns hung in front of several households, and the cobblestone road can be seen vaguely.

The two were speechless for a while, they both understood that there was a hurdle between them, and they waited for the other to speak first, so that they could walk over together.

Jiang Xianyu felt that he should take the initiative and not make Xie Cheng worry about him all the time.So he slowed down and called him suddenly.

"Xie Linyuan."

Xie Cheng paused, turned to look at him, his breathing sank a little.

He stood with the backlight, Jiang Xianyu couldn't see his expression clearly, but he continued to speak.

"You're born again too, aren't you?"

Xie Cheng was silent for a moment, his voice trembling when he opened his lips: "How do you know my words?"

Jiang Xianyu's eyelashes trembled, concealing the fact that he turned into a ghost to accompany him for more than 300 days and nights after his death, and only lowered his head and said: "In the years since I left home, I have inquired about you."

Xie Cheng took a deep breath, suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, gritted his teeth and asked him: "Then why...why didn't you come back?"

Jiang Xianyu's eyes turned red in an instant, and he choked up and said, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry Xie Linyuan..."

"Don't call me that." Xie Cheng gritted his teeth to hold back the trembling in his words, looking at Jiang Xianyu with a bit of viciousness in his eyes.

Jiang Xianyu froze for a moment, and then his heart felt like a knife.

He called Xie Cheng that way just to distinguish him from the Xie Cheng in this life, but he forgot how heavy the shackles this word is to Xie Cheng.

In his previous life, Xie Cheng argued with his father and mother more than once in order to build a tomb for him. In addition to begging, he also collapsed and lost control when his father scolded his name sharply.

"Don't call me 'Xie Linyuan'!"

He stared at the void with red eyes, and smiled hastily and sadly: "Those two words always remind me how I lost him back then. They also always remind me, never expect him to look back at me! What you gave me is not Advice is not a whip, it is a shackle, it is a prison!"

Father Xie was so angry that he clutched his chest and fell back, but the one who fell down first was Xie Cheng who was vomiting blood.

He was terminally ill and had no cure, and begged bitterly in front of Xie's father and mother, and finally got permission to build a tomb for Jiang Xianyu.

"Sorry……"

Jiang Xianyu was overwhelmed by remorse and guilt again, and broke down in tears.

"enough!"

Xie Cheng interrupted him, with paranoid and crazy emotions hiding in his crimson eyes, "Why are you sorry for me? What's wrong with your ambition in the Jianghu? What's wrong with not saying goodbye? What's wrong with dying without knowing why? !"

Jiang Xianyu trembled because of crying, couldn't hold back the tears at all, and stretched out his arms to hug Xie Cheng's waist, "Wrong, wrong! It's all my fault!"

"I'm selfish! I'm treacherous! I'm blind! I don't know what's good! I deserve it!"

He hugged Xie Cheng tightly, begging for his forgiveness, "I was wrong, don't hate me... Xie Cheng, don't hate me..."

The resentment in Xie Cheng's heart softened in his weeping, and he raised his hand to hug him tightly.

The arms locked him tightly, so tight that Jiang Xianyu couldn't breathe, and so tight that the bone marrow of each other ached.

"Regardless of previous life or this life, I will always lose."

Xie Cheng laughed at himself, and buried his head against Jiang Xianyu's neck.

The warm breath and wet tears fell on Jiang Xianyu's neck, which was even more tormented than the 28 punishments in the previous life.

How much pain should Xie Cheng hold his corpse back then?

……

The two returned to Duan Shuwen's residence, and the latter had already fallen asleep.

Ping An stood guard at the gate, and when he saw the two of them coming back holding hands, their expressions were a little dazed.

Jiang Xianyu struggled and looked at Xie Cheng.Xie Cheng had no choice but to let go.

He still had a lot of questions to ask Jiang Xianyu, but just now he met the watchman, and seeing them hugging by the roadside, he was terrified.

There is no way, they can only come back first.

The guest room where Jiang Xianyu lived was next to Xie Cheng, and Shimo and Ping An brought hot water into the room for the two of them to wash up.

Xie Cheng was afraid that Jiang Xianyu would not be used to serving in peace, so he assigned Shimo to him.

"Young master." Shimo poured hot water on Jiang Xianyu while looking at him, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Jiang Xianyu took a photo with the water in the tub and saw a pair of red and swollen eyes.

He scooped up a handful of water and covered his face, and said, "I just got a worm in my eye, and it was swollen by me rubbing it."

Shi Moxin asked how it was possible for insects to enter both eyes at the same time, but the young master refused to say, and he didn't dare to ask, he just said: "Young master has ointment for reducing swelling, I'll bring it for you and apply some."

"No, it's not a big deal, it will disappear after a night of sleep."

Although he said so, after washing, Shimo still brought a small box of ointment.

"The young master said, if you don't paint it, he will come over and paint it for you in person."

Jiang Xianyu choked, and honestly applied ointment on his eyelids.

Both he and Xie Cheng need to sort out their thoughts, and when they meet again now, they don't know where to start.

I thought that after confessing to Xie Cheng, I would feel lighter, but now I feel even heavier.In the past, he could pretend that he didn't know how much he owed Xie Cheng, but now he could no longer escape.

I shouldn't have escaped...

There's just one more thing to hide.That's what happened in his previous life when he turned into a ghost and stayed by Xie Cheng's side after his death.

Xie Cheng shouldn't want him to know about those breakdowns and despair, secret love and perseverance.

So he had to pretend he didn't know it until Xie Cheng himself was willing to mention it to him.

After taking the medicine, he could only lie down with his eyes closed. He thought he would be full of thoughts and sleepless all night, but unexpectedly fell asleep.

Just didn't sleep well.

The dream is full of the appearance of Xie Cheng in the previous life, from the youthful spirit, to the dull and reticent, to the yin and yang in that rainy night, and finally the illness like a mountain, withered...

He knew it was a dream, but he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken.Wanting to wake up, but struggling in a dream like being haunted by a nightmare.

Until there was a bang, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the dream receded like a tide, Jiang Xianyu suddenly woke up, stood up and looked out the door.

Xie Cheng stood by the door against the faint moonlight, his expression was unclear, he could only hear his shortness of breath and uneasiness.

Jiang Xianyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, got out of bed and walked towards him, "What's wrong?"

Xie Cheng seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and stretched out his arms to hug him.

"I... I thought you were missing," he said tremblingly.

Jiang Xianyu felt a sharp pain in his heart, took a deep breath, and hugged him back with trembling hands.

"I'm here, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."

He patted Xie Cheng's back lightly, again and again.

Xie Cheng came back to his senses completely, his breathing stopped for a moment, then he buried his head by his neck and said with a wry smile: "I'm probably crazy..."

Jiang Xianyu followed suit with a bitter smile, and asked him, "Would you like to sleep with me?"

Xie Cheng froze for a moment.
