three feet away from me

By the edge of the clear stream, Du Xingqing sat down on the stone, moved to the side, and patted the vacant part of the small stone beside him: "Xu Cong, come and sit, it's a little small, but you can still squeeze it." Sit down."

Wen Xucong glanced at the palm-sized gap, ignored him, straightened his clothes and sat down on a big rock next to him.

Du Xingqing withdrew his hand, opened his mouth and was about to say a few more words without giving up, when Wen Xucong lowered his head and picked up a small stone, and gently threw it out.

With a huff, the stone looked light and weak, but it splashed a lot of water on the surface of the water, and the movement it made was not small.

"What do you want to say?" Withdrawing his hand, Wen Xucong turned around and clapped his hands to ask Du Xingqing.

"It's okay, it's okay." Looking at the ripples rippling on the water surface, Du Xingqing swallowed dryly the words he wanted to say, smiled at Wen Xucong, bent down and sat cross-legged on the stone, thinking about himself Dry clothes.

He took out the wet robe and put it neatly between his legs.In the end, he turned his head to see if the clothes fell on the ground and was stained with dust. Seeing that the robe was dangling in the air without hanging to the ground, he put his head back in peace.

Du Xingqing was very serious about drying the clothes. When Wen Xucong saw him, he thought of those seven or eight-year-old dolls who swayed around like this, and refused to sit quietly for a while.

"Hey? What are you doing..." After doing all this, Du Xingqing found that the people around him hadn't moved for a long time, turned his head to look at Wen Xucong, paused, and said, "Don't talk."

Wen Xucong sat on the stone, looking at him with his head tilted, with a slight softness in his eyes. The summer wind blew over and lifted the hair behind him, making him look unreal.

Dazed, Du Xingqing looked away helplessly.

"Young Master," Wen Xucong's voice mixed with the sound of water and cicadas reached Du Xingqing's ears: "Is it time for you to win the championship this year?"

With a sound of swish, Du Xingqing opened the fan, and fanned it with great momentum, trying to fade the restlessness on his face a little: "Yes! It's just these few days, soon."

"En." Wen Xucong heard this, and thought of something, looked at him again, and responded softly.

What does it mean?Du Xingqing was a little confused. Wen Xucong didn't look like he was gratified or asked for his birthday to give him a gift. His eyes were downcast, and his half-smile look was a bit like a mockery. It's the kind of adult who sees children clumsy. The look revealed by the posture.

"Are you laughing at me?" Du Xingqing asked uncertainly, he didn't understand what was funny about him.

"No." Wen Xucong blinked, restrained the expression on his face, and said seriously.

"..." The answer was so fast, it was really hard to believe.

Du Xingqing stared at Wen Xucong silently, and after a while, he saw the corner of Wen Xucong's mouth curling up very slowly.

"You..." Du Xingqing raised his eyebrows, like a child who saw something new and was about to yell, thinking that I've caught you this time, let's see why you don't admit it!

But before the joke could come out, Du Xingqing was already dumbfounded and forgot everything.

Wen Xucong was right in front of his eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened and became thicker and thicker, and finally his pale eyes were stained with a soft smile.

He was originally born well, with red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, usually indifferent, with a desolate appearance that rejects people thousands of miles away, but this sudden smile is as elegant and moving as the first bloom of a short-lived epiphyllum.

The treetops in the distance swayed, and the bottom of the leaves were green and apricots were hanging down. Du Xingqing suddenly thought, there is such a person, and a smile can make him feel elated and fascinated. It is worthwhile to come to this world. .

Fine!Du Xingqing looked at the person in front of him, his heart was in a mess, even if he was ridiculed by the young master, it would be a worthwhile trip to win the pleasure of a beauty.

Didn't know that Wen Xucong just laughed when he saw him patting clothes seriously like a child, and Du Xingqing also smiled along with him in a good mood: "If you smile more, what do you want? Parents love this kind of thing." A kid with a good smile."

The smile gradually fell from his face, Wen Xucong still looked at him, and said quite cooperatively: "Everyone likes a cute child."

"You are very likable." Especially me, when I saw you, I fell in love with you.

"Really?" With eyes bent, Wen Xucong said, "Thank you."

"Do you like the cute one?" Du Xingqing asked him, "Or what kind?"

Wen Xucong didn't understand: "What do you like?"

"That's right, the one I like, the one who wants to get married in the rest of my life." Du Xingqing stammered a little, his face was still a little red.

Wen Xucong was stunned for the kind of love of getting married, and thought about it carefully. After a long time, Wen Xucong shook his head: "This is not important."

"What's not important?" Du Xingqing was the one who didn't understand.

"It doesn't matter who I like."

"It doesn't matter anymore! Get married if you like, and spend the rest of your life facing each other day and night, so there's no way to be rash." Du Xingqing shouted dissatisfied.

Wen Xucong looked at him, a little dazed, as if he didn't understand why he was so excited. The person he married was chosen by his wife, but she didn't ask him whether he liked it or not.

"Young Lord," Wen Xucong lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Those things are not as simple as you think."

"What is simple, what is not simple!" Du Xingqing's eyebrows were about to be twisted into a knot. He did not expect to get such an answer when he asked a question nervously and apprehensively: "You are the son of the prime minister. , don’t you dare to think about who you like?”

"It's not that I dare not think about it, it's that..." Wen Xucong didn't know what to say, it was useless even if he thought about it.

"What is it? Tell me." Du Xingqing refused to let go.

"Young Lord," Wen Xucong rubbed his forehead, and sighed helplessly: "You said that if the prince attacks the city and establishes himself as king, how long can my dad, the prime minister, stay? Will you marry me as the eldest son?"

"I..." Du Xingqing was stunned, the original aggressive person died down, he didn't know where he went, his throat seemed to be choked, and his heart also collapsed, sour and swollen, it was very unpleasant.

It was the first time Wen Xucong spoke such a long word to him, Du Xingqing did not expect it to reach people's hearts so directly.

For a while, there was only the sound of water gurgling around, which didn't feel refreshing, but rather noisy.

"I, I will persuade my father when I go back." After a long time, Du Xingqing said with difficulty: "Let him give up this idea."

"Okay, I believe you." Wen Xucong nodded, but there was no disturbance in her heart.

Not to mention that he has no opinion on the matter of usurping the throne, but that King Pingyang has spent so much effort on this matter, how could he give up for Du Xingqing's temporary persuasion.

"Even if, even if the day comes when the army is defeated," Du Xingqing took a deep breath, and looked at Wen Xucong slowly and seriously: "I will protect you, hide you, and prevent them from finding you. I won't let you suffer."

Inadvertently, Wen Xucong looked into Du Xingqing's eyes, those eyes were dark, pure, with a trace of tension, but more, those black eyes were impure, which made Wen Xucong dare not face up depending on the emotion.

Almost flustered, Wen Xucong jumped off the rock, not daring to look into Du Xingqing's eyes anymore, Wen Xucong looked at the stone under his feet: "Your clothes should be dry, let's go."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Du Xingqing to respond, Wen Xucong quickly walked away from the place that made him uncomfortable, and the back of the young man leaving in the wind was full of signs of fleeing in panic.

"Xu Cong," Du Xingqing didn't jump down to follow up like before, sat on the rock and looked at Wen Xu Cong's figure: "Why do you always walk so fast, can you..."

Wait for me.

Du Xingqing's voice became smaller and smaller, and he almost murmured at the end, shaking his head in self-deprecating manner, asking that heartless young man to wait for you, what a dream!

Du Xingqing gathered his fan and was about to get up to chase, but Wen Xucong who was not far away suddenly stopped, stood where he was and did not move forward.

He heard Du Xingqing's unfinished words.

Why do you always go so fast, can you wait for me?

But the little prime minister couldn't say flattering words, so he stopped, endured his unnatural emotions, listened to him, and waited for him.
