[75] I treat you as a brother

When eating in the evening, only a servant brought food for Zhan Zhao, and Bai Yutang didn't even show his face.

While eating fish, Zhan Zhao asked the boy, "Where's your fifth master?"

The servant lowered his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and didn't dare to answer.

Zhan Zhao: "Go and call him over."

The little servant was terrified, and said in a low voice: "The fifth master ordered me to let the villain serve Master Zhan for dinner."

Zhan Zhao has grown up to this age, and he hasn't enjoyed being served by others before, so he is really not used to it, so he gestured to the seat next to him, and said, "That's fine, you sit down."

The servant shivered in fright: "Master Zhan, you..."

Zhan Zhao frightened him and said, "If you don't obey me, I will sue you."

The boy could only sit down aggrieved.

Zhan Zhao put down his chopsticks, freed his hands to peel the prawns, and said, "The other two that your fifth master just told you, are they here?"

"Here we are." The boy replied, "I have already arranged for them to go to the room—Master Zhan, let the villain come and peel it for you."

Instead of asking him to peel it, Zhan Zhao threw the peeled one on the plate in front of him.

The boy was immediately frightened, and quickly got up to kneel him.

Zhan Zhao: "Don't move! Get up, don't kneel, sit down obediently, and eat."

The boy was about to cry, and with his mouth flattened, he reluctantly stuffed the shrimp into his mouth.

Zhan Zhao watched him swallow with satisfaction, picked up another one and peeled it again: "Did those two people say anything after they came?"

The little servant chewed hard, and said with a mournful face while chewing: "It is said that the city is heavily guarded, and there are official posts everywhere, so let's find the fifth master."

Zhan Zhao asked again: "Did you bring up the 'Renrouxiang' case? Has the identity of the deceased been found?"

While talking, he threw the freshly peeled shrimp in front of him again.

The boy looked at the shrimp, his worried hair was turning white, and he felt that there were several more wrinkles unknowingly: "...Master Zhan, can I stop eating?"

"Hurry up and eat." Zhan Zhao picked up the third prawn, "It's good to talk to you after you finish eating."

Just then, the closed door finally opened.

Bai Yutang walked in with a grim expression.

The little servant didn't need to look much to know that something was wrong with him, he quickly knelt down, and his voice was terrified: "Fifth Master, spare me!"

But Zhan Zhao didn't even look at Bai Yutang, he pulled the boy up himself, and said, "You are afraid of what he will do, don't worry, he won't dare to touch you."

Bai Yutang took a few deep breaths and managed to stabilize his emotions: "Go down first."

The boy ran away with an "ow" as if he had been pardoned.

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao helplessly, lifted his robe and sat next to him, then rolled up his sleeves and started peeling shrimp: "If you want to ask anything, just ask me."

"Okay." Zhan Zhao asked, "When did you start thinking about me like that?"

Bai Yutang choked up and couldn't help looking at him: "Aren't you going to ask about the case?"

"I'll ask about the case later." Zhan Zhao put down the unpeeled shrimp in his hand, picked up a piece of fish, removed the few thorns inside, and handed it to Bai Yutang, "Answer me first."

"I've eaten it, you eat it yourself." Bai Yutang continued to move his hands, and said, "It's been a long time ago, I don't remember when it first started."

The hand that Zhan Zhao handed over didn't move, it hung firmly in the air: "How did you find out in the first place?" He had to make sure that Bai Yutang knew whether his feelings were due to the dependence between friends and brothers, or the love between men and women.

Bai Yutang stopped his movements, wrapped Zhan Zhao's hands holding chopsticks with his slightly cool hands soaked in soup, then rolled his tongue, and ate the fish meat on them.

The impact of this scene was slightly stronger, Zhan Zhao quickly withdrew his hand, and stopped cheating himself.

Bai Yutang kept looking at him, seeing that Zhan Zhao, who had always been calm and self-restraining, actually had a little pink on his ears. He secretly smiled in a good mood, and said, "In the beginning, I always dreamed of you—at that time, you would go there every now and then. Trapped Sky Island sent things to harass me."

Zhan Zhao's eyelids trembled, and he just wanted to say that it was just a dream, how could it be that kind of feeling.

I heard Bai Yutang say: "Later, you kissed me in a dream, and when I woke up, I knew I was not good."

Specifically, what kind of "bad" is "bad", Zhan Zhao doesn't need him to say it clearly, he already knows it well.

Bai Yutang: "Afterwards, I started to have that kind of dream frequently. At first, I just kissed and hugged, and had a little physical contact. Later...do you still want to listen?"

Zhan Zhao: "...Needless to say."

"I don't think I have mistaken my feelings." Bai Yutang said, "I have guarded this unreasonable desire for many years, and this year is not bad."

After a pause, he said: "I've already made up my mind. If you can accept me, everyone will be happy, but if you can't accept it, then I won't block your eyes in front of you. I will always watch over you." , until you get married."

Zhan Zhao's heart twitched for no reason: "Stay with me until we get married, and then what?"

"Go wandering." Bai Yutang said, "The rivers and lakes are so big, there is always room for me."

Zhan Zhao suddenly fell silent, his eyes filled with pity.

Bai Yutang finally peeled the shrimp slowly, and placed it firmly on Zhan Zhao's plate.Looking up and seeing his expression, he smiled softly: "Don't worry about me, I've already said it, I don't want to make things difficult for you——If you force yourself to agree to me because of me, I will feel sad."

Zhan Zhao sighed inwardly, and said, "Leave this matter aside, let me think about it."

Bai Yutang looked at him and smiled: "Okay."

Now Zhan Zhao really can't bear the way he looks at him, but he is afraid that he will hurt him if he speaks bluntly, so he can only sigh secretly again, and say to him: "I never thought you were an eyesore, and I will never... No matter what happens in the future, you don't need to leave. Although Jianghu is big, it's not like home everywhere."

"Yutang." Zhan Zhao said sincerely, "Although I can't promise you anything now, the 'place of shelter' is with me, and it will always be reserved for you—just like what we said back then, no matter when and where , I will keep a lamp for you in my room, whenever you want, you are welcome to come anytime, anywhere."

These words were too poignant, Bai Yutang couldn't hold back, his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

He hastily took a deep breath, turned his head to one side, and said in a tone of aggrievedness and a trace of complaint: "Can you change your provocative and provocative stinking problem? It's fine if you refuse to answer me, and you still use words to poke my heart , do you want my life?"

He said so on the lips, but he thought sweetly in his heart: Even if it takes my life, I will give it all to him without saying a word.

After all, I will only have him in this life.

He would never meet a second Zhan Zhao, and the place in his heart the size of a fist could no longer accommodate another person.
