King's Landing [Rebirth]

Yuan Chang grew up and became a handsome young man. Lu Zixiu touched his hot cheek, and his fingertips brushed his lips vaguely.

This young man has been with me for six full years, and he always looks at me with trust and dependence in his eyes, and I have taught him everything, and finally let this piece of rough jade show a lustrous luster.This piece of jade was carved and polished by him, so naturally it can only belong to him.

Lu Zixiu's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help hugging him again, tightening his arms, and said softly, "Yuan Sheng, I'm so happy!"

Yuan Sheng hadn't recovered yet, his forehead was against his chin, his eyes were fixed on his neck, feeling the heat around his body, he felt that he was being roasted by a ball of fire, he was dizzy from the heat, and couldn't stand still , After hearing his words, he was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "What are you happy about?"

Lu Zixiu smiled lightly: "You will know later."

Yuan Sheng inexplicably felt that his chest was pounding violently, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment, but that night he dreamed of Lu Zixiu again, the dream was a little blurry, it seemed different from the past, vaguely revealing the charm of daydream, after waking up, he only remembered that A feeling of dry mouth, flustered and guilty conscience.

The matter of the inkstone was finally found out. Lu Zixiu's eyes were as cold as a pool of ice, and he ordered the man to be beaten to almost half his life. In the end, he was driven out with only his old clothes left.This incident caused a turmoil in the Lu residence. Those who had bullied Yuan Sheng were all trembling, and Yuan Sheng's life finally regained some calm.

No one would have thought that the second son, who has always been as gentle as jade, would have such a ruthless side. Even the steward was taken aback, not only by Lu Zixiu's other side, but also by the weight of Yuan Sheng in his heart. He regretted it at the time When Yuan Sheng came to ask for help, he was perfunctory.

After this incident, Lu Zixiu vaguely felt that Yuan Sheng's attitude towards him was not as close as before. It seemed that he had gone back to six years ago. He was respectful and cautious, and he was not even willing to cast his eyes on his face.

Lu Zixiu felt a little flustered, and couldn't help hugging him from behind when he was teaching him how to paint: "Yuansheng..."

"Ah!" Yuan Sheng trembled in shock, the pen in his hand dropped, and a piece of ink was blurred on the drawing paper, and then he struggled to get out of his embrace.

Lu Zixiu's eyes darkened slightly, and he wanted to hug him tighter, but he couldn't bear to force him, so he finally let go of his arms slowly, turned him to face himself, and stared at him straight: "Yuan Sheng, you are... Don't like me like that?"

Yuan Sheng was taken aback for a moment, raised his head slightly, turned his eyes and then quickly staggered, wondering: "Which one?"

"I ordered people to be beaten almost to death, and I didn't give a penny... Do you think this punishment is too heavy? Think I..." Lu Zixiu said this very difficultly, and his eyes were fixed on Yuan Sheng's face For fear of seeing the slightest bit of disgust or fear on his face.

Yuan Sheng heard it inexplicably, and had to look at him with black and white eyes, wondering: "Isn't the head of the family deciding whether the punishment is heavy or not? I'm just a servant, I don't know these things..."

Lu Zixiu didn't get the answer he wanted, so he couldn't help holding his hand, his expression was gentle, but his eyes were a little nervous: "Then you...don't like me?"

Yuan Sheng was taken aback, quickly lowered his eyelashes, and shook his head again and again.

Lu Zixiu asked: "Then, do you like me?"

Yuan Sheng's mind flickered, and he quickly withdrew his hand, murmured and couldn't speak, only felt a ball of fire burning from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head, and his cheeks turned red quickly.

Lu Zixiu stared blankly at his empty hand. He obviously felt that Yuan Sheng was interested in him, but recently he vaguely felt that he guessed wrong, maybe it was just wishful thinking.

Yuan Sheng almost ran away, but he almost bumped into someone when he went out. He raised his eyes in a daze, and met Lu Wen's cold and sharp gaze.

A few months later, the Lu residence suddenly became lively. Matchmakers came one after another. Lu Wen repeatedly called Lu Zixiu over and asked him if he had a woman he liked.

"Nizi! You're just a bookboy, but you're so obsessed with right and wrong! Are you planning to end your offspring? I know what you're thinking, but look at the whole Wu County, who would not even want a family for a pet? If you are really reluctant, you can raise him in the backyard, I will not make things difficult for him, as long as you marry a virtuous wife who understands righteousness, the house will not be in trouble!"

Lu Zixiu listened to him with serious eyes, and said firmly, "I won't marry a wife."

Lu Wen's face turned black with anger: "Why are you so stubborn!"

The quarrel between the father and son is unknown to others, but the family has already started to tell Lu Zixiu about their marriage. Yuan Sheng stared blankly at the half-moved chessboard in front of him, and when he heard the movement, he saw Lu Zixiu walking in with a smile on his face. Standing up, he stumbled and said, "Second...Second Young Master...are you still playing chess?"

Lu Zixiu had a gloomy expression before he entered the door, but now he was as warm as the wind as always, and said in a gentle voice: "No, I have something to tell you." As he said that, he went to hold his hand.

Yuan Sheng quickly turned sideways and said in a panic, "Then...then I will take the chessboard away."

Lu Zixiu stared at his hand again. He couldn't remember how long Yuan Sheng had been avoiding him. It seemed that since the incident last time, the hand he stretched out had never reached him again.

Yuan Sheng put away the chessboard, calmed down a little, and walked up to him with slightly lowered eyelashes: "Second Young Master, what do you want to say?"

"Yuan Sheng, you know what's going on in the mansion recently." Lu Zixiu said slowly, without reaching out his hand, just staring at his face, "I just want you to believe that I won't marry a wife."

Yuan Sheng's eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief: "Why?"

Lu Zixiu looked at his black and white eyes, his heart throbbed, but he could only smile wryly: "Don't you understand my feelings for you?"

"I...I..." Yuan Sheng looked nervous, his eyes flustered, and he was speechless for a while.

Lu Zixiu raised his hand to touch his temples, but he backed away half a step again, and couldn't help sighing softly: "Yuan Sheng, do you understand? I won't marry a wife, I only want you."

"I..." Yuan Sheng looked at him at a loss, and said in a daze, "Second Young Master is... a fairy-like figure in the painting, I'm just a book boy, how can I afford Second Young Master's affection with my identity. I... as long as I can be the Second Young Master's book boy, I will be satisfied by staying by the Second Young Master's side all the time. Second Young Master, please don't..."

Yuan Sheng couldn't continue his words, he was a little panicked, he was clearly telling the truth, why did his heart hurt so badly?

Lu Zixiu's expression was gloomy. From Yuan Sheng's point of view, every sentence was the truth, but to his ears, it was more like an excuse to refuse. The casual Yuan Sheng disappeared without a trace in front of him. Now the person standing here , just like the sincerity and fear when you were young, where did you see the slightest intimacy?

Yuan Sheng pursed his lips in silence, his trembling eyelashes covered his flustered mood.

Lu Zixiu couldn't bear it anymore, he took a step forward and hugged him tightly in his arms: "Yuan Sheng, remember what I said, I will wait for you to grow up, and then you can make a decision, okay?"

Yuan Sheng was dizzy again, his mind went blank, and he forgot to dodge. He only knew that what the Second Young Master said was right, so he nodded subconsciously.
