After Yao Xue came out of Qiuchen's room, she wandered around the courtyard somewhat lonely.

He passed by the courtyard where You Yi was, and saw that there was no one there, he was a little surprised, so he walked forward.

He came to the tall magnolia tree in the middle of the yard and found You Yi sitting under the tree.

Yao Xue didn't feel anything at first, but felt a little strange.He said to the other party, "What are you doing sitting under the tree",? Cruising but fell asleep,? There was no response.

So Yao Xue slowly approached You Cruise, until he saw a veil covering his eyes, at this moment, he froze as if he had been hit by something.

Yao Xue stood still in the same place for a while, and after another moment, You You slowly took off the veil covering his eyes, and looked into Yao Xue's eyes in great surprise.

For a while, Yao Xue just stared at You Yi with trembling pupils, and after a long time, he said with a trembling voice: "You... Are you from the previous name, not You Yi?"

It all started seven years ago.

This year,? Yao Xue just came to Yanyang,? Emperor Ning Yuan saw that he was a good seedling, and arranged for him to practice martial arts with those aristocratic children on the training ground.

Yanyang City is located in the north. In winter, the weather is extremely cold, and a thick layer of ice often forms on the river.At this time, the martial arts training ground will be closed, and these youngsters are allowed to go to the lake for ice play.

Teenagers aged seventeen or eighteen like to play around the most. They are all from rich or noble backgrounds.

On this day, Yao Xue followed a group of children from aristocratic families to play ice hockey in the Royal Pool Garden behind the King City.

Ice hockey is a sport that everyone knows among the nobles of the Yong Kingdom. Those children from aristocratic families have played it since they were young, and now they are playing like a fish in water, enjoying themselves.Yao Xue grew up in the south since she was a child, and she has never seen such a thick ice layer, let alone ice hockey, so she can't play well.Even though he usually stole the limelight in the martial arts arena, he could only watch from the sidelines at this moment.

When Yao Xue was in Xingcai Town, she was good at picking out bird eggs and catching loaches, but since she came to Yanyang City, she has been depressed and has no interest in anything.He doesn't like to communicate with people very much. Others think that he is extremely cold-tempered, so no one dares to come forward to greet him.

Yao Xue looked at it boredly for a while, but she was actually eager to try it.He also noticed that there was a man on the ice rink who was an excellent skater and stood out from the crowd.The opponent was as light as a swallow, shuttled back and forth among the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, he made several shots.

Yao Xue admired silently in his heart, he stared intently for a while, barely recognized that the other party seemed to be the young son of General Li's family, Li Qing.

Li Hong, General Li, was the most respected military general in the dynasty. His family had been officials for generations, and his talents were abundant.Li Qing has two older brothers, both of whom became generals at a young age. Yao Xue followed Li Hong on several expeditions, and the other party treated him very well and taught him many things.

Li Qing has been loved by his brothers since he was a child, and the people around him love him so much, his temperament has been used to being extremely arrogant.After playing on the field for a while, he felt bored, squinted his eyes and looked around, and found that Yao Xue was standing at the side, so he slid in front of the opponent.

"What are you doing here? Come up and compete with me?" Li Qing's appearance is very good, his face is very handsome, and his skin is very fair. At this moment, he is staring at Yao Xue with a pair of round almond eyes. It is flying spirit.

Just as Yao Xue was about to speak, a young man from an aristocratic family next to him flattered Li Qing: "Young Master Li, why are you talking to him? A boy from a poor country must not be able to beat him well."

A group of people snickered after hearing this.

Li Qing didn't take it seriously when she heard this: "What's wrong with the backcountry? When you're on the field, what's your background?" When he said this, he raised his chin proudly at Yao Xue: "It's a mule or a horse, and I have to take it out for a walk. You only know after walking. Hey, do you dare to compete with me?"

When Yao Xue heard this, her hands had already clenched into fists.He is not someone who is easily offended, he looked at Li Qing provocatively, and said with a slight smile, "Okay."

Li Qing stared at Yao Xue again, dropped a word, turned around and slid away to find her companion.

"Assemble your team and start after a stick of incense."

Ice hockey is a multiplayer competition. It is divided into two teams. Each team has about three people. Everyone wears skate shoes. They can use their hands or feet to throw the ball into the wooden frame of the opposing team. Feel free to hurt anyone.

Yao Xue didn't have any good friends on weekdays. He looked around and felt a little confused for a while.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.Yao Xue turned her head and saw a young man of his stature standing beside him.The other party grinned at him: "Is there any shortage of people? Take me one, I play ice hockey very well."

The young man had a very kind face, and when Yao Xue saw his face, he said again: "My name is Bai Yu, and my father is the Minister of the Ministry of War. You have won the first place in archery every time, and I noticed you early in the morning."

Before Yao Xue could speak, another boy with a shorter stature slid over.The other party was very delicate, looked at Bai Yu, curled his lips and said, "Take me one. I have long since disliked them."

Bai Yu smiled, and introduced to Yao Xue: "This is Ji Xi, I'm young."

When the word "faxiao" was mentioned, a trace of loneliness flashed across Yao Xue's face.He pursed his lips, finally nodded to the two, and laughed: "Okay, then let's file their prestige."

Yao Xue is quick to learn everything, and his two teammates are really good. After a few matches with Li Qing, the two sides even drew.

Although Li Qing is a little half-hearted and not serious about martial arts, she has always won the first place in ice play.It was the first time he was being compared to others at this moment, and he didn't expect it, and immediately stood where he was, staring at the ground with some aggrieved eyes.

Li Qing's character is domineering and domineering, but Yao Xue has a good impression of him.After all, the other party doesn't care about his origin, which is very rare among these nobles.

So Yao Xue stepped on the skates, slid to Li Qing's side in two or three steps, smiled at him, and praised him: "You play ice hockey really well."

Young Master Li was very pure in mind, and he was not sad to hear Yao Xue, a competitor, praise him like this. You guys must be good. By the way, my brother is even better at fighting than me!"

Hearing this, Bai Yu beside Yao Xue smiled helplessly, while Ji Xi couldn't help but snort coldly.

Yao Xue looked at Li Qing's ignorant appearance, and wanted to tease him intentionally.He rolled his eyes and nodded in agreement: "I have seen your brothers. I remember..." He said here, pretending to think, finally raised his head and smiled at Li Qing: "I remember, They are all more handsome than you!"

Li Qing is not a joker, so she obediently took the bait at this moment.It was hard for him to say bad things about his brothers, he hesitated for a while, and finally stared at his round almond eyes and said angrily: "Don't rely on your good-looking, just bury me here! I... No matter how you put it, he's much better-looking than the two people beside you! Besides, no matter how handsome my elder brother is, he still likes me the most!"

Ji Xi was stepped on for no reason, so he was naturally unconvinced, he couldn't help taking a step forward, and said with a sneer, "Who would like such an annoying guy like you?"

Li Qing also widened her eyes: "What did you say?"

Several people were at the competitive age, after a few quarrels, they immediately became a mess.Yao Xue looked at this scene, the haze in his heart finally disappeared a little, he pursed his lips, and finally smiled softly.

……

The friendship between Yao Xue and the young master of the Li family is neither good nor bad, but when they are in the martial arts arena, he can't help but tease each other.Later, even Ji Xi learned badly, and always wanted to provoke people until they got angry.

Those days were considered carefree, but Yao Xue always felt a little empty in her heart.He often thinks about Qiu Chen unconsciously. He didn't like to tease others that much, but every time he thinks about Qiu Chen's appearance, he will unconsciously make a joke or two with others.

But most of the time Yao Xue appeared cold, making people feel difficult to get close to.He regarded these classmates as good friends in his heart, they were all one or two years younger than him, and Yao Xue treated them as half younger brothers.But he knew in his heart that there was only one person in this world who could fill the void in his heart.

When he treats Qiu Chen, he has never been able to treat him simply as a child or an older brother.He wants to stay with Qiu Chen all the time, wants to blend with Qiu Chen, and taste all the joys in this world.

But at that time, he often thought bitterly, there was no chance.

After playing around like this for half a year, when Yao Xue finally got used to this kind of life, something happened to Li's family.

That time, Li Hong took his two sons to the southern border to quell the rebellion. Yao Xue was injured at the time, so by chance he did not go out with him.

But when the army arrived in southern Xinjiang, within a few days, news of the Li family's treason came.According to legend, Li Hong took two major generals to join the enemy and treason, and took refuge in the king of southern Xinjiang.

Later, Qi Yu, king of Wei, took the initiative to ask for orders and led an army of [-] to the south. He not only wiped out the rebels of the Li family, but also recovered the southern border.It was because of this incident that Qi Yu was made a prince, and all the power fell into the court for a while.

At that time, Li's family was ransacked and beheaded from top to bottom, but Li Qing, the young son of Li, was nowhere to be found.He was still young, so he didn't go out with his father this time, but he still couldn't be exonerated.

The formerly bustling General's Mansion was turned into ruins overnight with blood flowing into rivers.

Deep down in her heart at that time, Yao Xue didn't believe that the Li family would conspire against her at all.Li Hong is kind to him and takes good care of him every time he goes out to battle, he is more like his elder than Yao Ji.Li Qing's two elder brothers are open and forthright, they are on the battlefield as a thousand horses, they are expanding the territory of Yong Kingdom, how could they commit rebellion?

It's not that Yao Xue never tried to speak out in front of Emperor Ning Yuan, but in the end she was punished extremely badly, and her father even caused endless beatings when she returned home.Emperor Ningyuan acted cruelly, and Yao Xue also gradually understood that the destruction of the Li family may not necessarily be a bad thing in the eyes of Emperor Ningyuan.Anyway, he didn't help much in the end.

Later, about half a month later, Yao Xue passed by the abandoned General's Mansion one day, and heard a faint cry coming from inside.

Most people are very shy about this place, not to mention hearing some weird crying sounds, but Yao Xue walked straight in as if she had a premonition in her heart.

In the center of the courtyard of Li Mansion, there is a tall and towering magnolia tree, just like the past few years, standing in the courtyard.

There was a man sitting under the shade of the tree, his eyes were covered with white bandages, and he was hugging his knees at the moment, crying heartbreakingly, extremely sad.

It was June, when magnolias were in bloom, and those white flowers fell from the tree, covering the boy's shoulders, but he didn't feel it, even Yao Xue came to his side silently. Know.

Yao Xue was not sure at first, but when he saw that the other party was still wearing that handsome black tunic with fashionable lace on the cuffs, combined with this situation and the scene, he knew who the other party was.

It's just that now, the clothes are no longer spotless, but stained with a lot of blood.

Seeing this, Yao Xue felt a dull pain in his heart, he couldn't help but think silently, there seems to be nothing eternally beautiful in this world, and those radiant things will always be smashed to pieces on the ground in the end.

After a while, Yao Xue said softly, "What are you doing sitting under the tree?"

Li Qing finally discovered Yao Xue's existence, he was taken aback, wanted to stand up suddenly, but because of the injury on his foot, he gasped in pain.

His eyes seemed to be blind at all, but he shouted at Yao Xue with a trembling voice: "Who are you? What do you want to do!" Although his voice was fierce, it had a crying tone, which made people feel very pitiful.

Yao Xue thought about it for a while, and finally had no choice but to lie to him: "This courtyard needs to be renovated, and I'm the servant who came to clean it."

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, buried her face in her knees, and murmured in a low voice: "Is that so..." He was being hunted around, every word he said was cautious, he was silent for a while, choked up slightly Said: "Then... that magnolia tree, can you not cut it down?"

Seeing Li Qing's appearance, Yao Xue felt another dull pain in her heart.He pursed his lips, and finally said softly: "Okay, I will tell them not to chop."

After hearing this, Li Qing didn't notice anything.He showed his first smile these days, but his nimble eyes were covered by the blood-stained gauze, making this smile a bit sad.

He turned his head to Yao Xue and said, "Thank you, you are a good man." As he spoke, he habitually wanted to take some gold and silver from his cuff as a reward, but halfway through his hand, he took it back embarrassingly.

Li Qing lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I have nothing for you."

Yao Xue shook her head, thought for a moment, picked up a magnolia flower from Li Qing's shoulder, put it in Li Qing's hand, and said softly: "You take this."

Li Qing couldn't see, so he stroked the petals in his hand, held them in front of him and smelled them, showing a slightly surprised expression.

Yao Xue stared at the white petals in his hand, and said slowly: "I don't need you to give me anything. I heard that if you plant Magnolia in the garden, the family will inevitably continue to prosper and be passed down from generation to generation. I think the elders of this family I probably have such expectations when dealing with juniors."

Li Qing froze when she heard this.He was silent for a moment, and finally just held the magnolia flower tightly in his hand, pursed his lips tightly, nodded vigorously, and said with a sob: "Definitely, definitely..."

The two were speechless for a while, and after a while, the noise of officers and soldiers came from outside the door.Yao Xue turned her head again, and the other party had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the fragrance of magnolia flowers all over the courtyard and falling flowers all over the place.

……

Yao Xue recovered from the deep memory, and for a moment just looked at You Yi excitedly, not sure.

You Yi's eyes are completely different from Li Qing's. Li Qing has a pair of smart almond eyes, but You Yi's eyes are a pair of clear and cold phoenix eyes.

But You Yi just covered his eyes, only showing the lower half of his face, the appearance of sitting under this magnolia tree is almost the same as the scene back then.

You Yi's eyes were still not clear, he closed his eyes, and smelled a faint peach blossom fragrance from Yao Xue's body.

At this moment, all the memories poured into his heart like a mountain torrent, and You Yu coughed violently, and finally spit out a mouthful of blood.

He grabbed Yao Xue's sleeve and said with a trembling voice, "You...are you that servant brother?"
