"Master Fang, are you angry..." Gu Qingming lowered his head, twisting his sleeves uneasily.

"No. You will cause trouble if you stay here, so go back to your room first." Fang Yueheng raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his thin lips.

"Uh..." Gu Qingming felt pain in his heart. He felt guilty and sad. He obviously wanted to help him, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a disservice.

Gu Qingming moved slowly towards the door step by step, and looked back at Fang Yueheng who was gently wiping the rice paper with a handkerchief, feeling even more uncomfortable.

But there was no other way, so he sighed softly, and when he raised his legs to step out of the room, Fang Yueheng's cold voice suddenly came——

"I saw it with my hands behind my back."

Gu Qingming turned his head hastily.

"Go to Lao Li to apply medicine for you. I don't feel the burn now, and it will hurt after a while." Fang Yueheng put the teacup aside, and watched Gu Qingming's fingers behind his back turned red from the hot tea.

"Okay." Gu Qingming was so happy that he could only say this one word. He accidentally burned his hand just now, and only thought about Fang Yueheng's rice paper. Now when he pushed the door, he felt a sharp pain.

But Fang Yueheng's comforting words were like the best medicine in the world, his wounds didn't hurt anymore.

After going out, Gu Qingming just stood quietly outside the door, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, showing a smirk, and hurried to find Lao Li for medicine.

"Old Li, what do you think Young Master Fang likes..." Gu Qingming couldn't help asking when he saw that my old Li was lowering his head and concentrating on applying herbal medicine to himself.

"Master Gu is talking about the young master?" Lao Li took out a roll of gauze from the medicine box, and said with a smile, "Young master, he doesn't like anything in terms of food and clothing, and he thinks it's fine to get used to it."

"It's just that he is very serious in his work. Once he encounters something difficult, it is normal for him to be busy for three days and three nights."

"Oh my god... did he work so hard?" Lao Li slowly wrapped Gu Qingming's slender and fair fingers with gauze, and finally made a knot on his wrist before saying, "Mr. Gu, don't touch heavy objects these few days. Wait until the wound heals, and change the medicine every night."

"I see, thank you, Lao Li." Gu Qingming raised his bright eyes and said.

"Mr. Gu, don't blame the young master for being cruel to you. No one dared to provoke him when he was in office. I'm afraid he will be taught a lesson." Lao Li sat on the stool next to him and babbled: "The young master has only put his heart on the table all these years. I've never seen him do anything else..."

"But... Young Master Fang doesn't seem to be very mean to me..." Gu Qingming tilted his head slightly and asked in doubt.

"Really, what did he tell you, young master?" Lao Li patted his forehead and asked with a smile.

Gu Qingming became interested, frowned, clenched his bony hands into fists, imitated Fang Yueheng's appearance and said with a sullen face: "Gu Qingming, you go out, you will only add to the chaos if you stay here."

Lao Li burst out laughing, and waved his hands while laughing, "Young Master Gu, you really act like one."

"Then it's not fierce, is it?" Gu Qingming's eyes showed a little expectation.

Lao Li raised the corners of his lips, touched his chin, and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't count..."

"Really……"

"Really, Young Master Gu, Young Master Fang has already treated you very well." Lao Li put away the medicine box and said slowly, "Young Master once said that he cried a little girl."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingming quickly asked: "What's going on, Lao Li, please tell me."

"This has been going on for several years. At that time, the young master was still in Fang's mansion and did not go to Beijing. There was a thief at home, and it was finally found out that it was the old lady's personal maid who stole the things. The young master called her to the door and said something. .”

"The maid refused to admit it before, but when the young master came, his sharp eyes swept over her, and she didn't dare to lie."

"Uh..." Gu Qingming listened to this incident, and the more he heard it, the more familiar it became. After thinking about it, isn't this what Fang Yueheng taught a maid who stole money when he was Swallow.

"But Young Master Fang is really kind to Young Master Gu." Lao Li glanced at Gu Qingming's face, smiled and patted his head, "If someone disturbed Young Master's work before, he would have been angry, but he wasn't angry at Young Master Gu. That's it."

Gu Qingming nodded, restlessly wanted to run to the study to apologize to Fang Yueheng.

But he forced himself to calm down his restless heart and stop disturbing Fang Yueheng.

But after holding back for a few quarters of an hour, he threw his original thoughts out of the blue, stretched out his hand to put the dark blue shirt on his body, tied up his hair with a red headband, and sneaked away The study behind the rockery.

It is spring, and there is a stream flowing on the rockery outside, pouring down to raise a pool of koi, swimming happily in the water, the bluestone in the pool can be seen at the bottom, and occasionally smaller fish cubs rush past. not see.

Gu Qingming stood quietly in the quiet door by himself, looking at Fang Yueheng inside through the torn window paper, his heartbeat calmed down bit by bit in the bright spring breeze, he bit his lower lip before lightly Knocking on the door lightly, he pushed the door open when he heard a loud "please come in" from inside——

"Huh? Why are you here again?" Fang Yueheng raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued to look at the scroll.

"I……"

"The handbag is ready?" Fang Yueheng glanced at his fingers lightly.

"Well, it's all right." Gu Qingming muttered, but unconsciously shrunk his fingers back, looking nervous.

"Hmm." Fang Yueheng lowered his eyes and didn't speak again.

The room was quiet, save for the rustling of pages turning.

Gu Qingming stood there in embarrassment alone, neither leaving nor staying, lowering his head and peeking at Fang Yueheng uneasily.

"Is there anything else going on?"

"I, I want to ask if you have time tonight..." Gu Qingming whispered, "I want to have dinner with you..."

"With me?" Fang Yueheng raised his eyebrows, looking strange.

"Yes Yes……"

"Then what do you like to eat? I'll let the kitchen make it, and then I'll bring it to you at night." Fang Yueheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm tea.

"Will you come at night?" Gu Qingming was still not sure what Fang Yueheng was thinking when he heard this sentence, so he had to ask again.

Fang Yueheng is not stupid, he always felt that Gu Qingming was a little too clingy to himself recently, so he put away the scroll, got up and walked towards him, his face was still expressionless, and his tone was cold, "Is there anything you want to tell me recently? ?”

"Ah...no, no." Gu Qingming blushed more than half in an instant, and even his neck was stained with a thin layer of red. He stepped back hurriedly, bowed his head guiltyly and said, "I, I just feel that I'm bored alone, I want to find you..."

Just after saying this, Gu Qingming wished he could bite off his tongue. He was used to being playful and idle, so how could he drag someone as busy as Fang Yueheng to accompany him? Isn't this deliberately annoying?

"Boring alone?" Fang Yueheng frowned and thought for a while, then took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him. The jade pendant was cold, and he was slightly stunned when it touched Gu Qingming's warm fingers. "this is for you."

"This is?" Gu Qingming took it, but he obviously didn't understand what Fang Yueheng meant. He flipped the jade pendant in his hands for a while, "Why give me this."

"It's for you, if you don't like throwing it away." Fang Yueheng still said the same thing.

"Uh..." Gu Qingming turned around awkwardly, he really admired Fang Yueheng, he looked like a person who didn't know how to deal with such things at all, he only knew how to give things, regardless of whether others liked it or not.

"Go back, I still have something to do." Fang Yueheng patted him on the shoulder, and finally added, "I'll have dinner with you in the evening."

At night, Fang Yueheng's face was blown by the bleak night wind, and he felt a slight shiver. The night hung in the dark sky. Fang Yueheng stood under the tree, looking at the brightly lit hut in front of him, and he couldn't move. .

He felt that he was getting more and more strange towards Gu Qingming.In the beginning, he really thought that Gu Qingming was just a down and out son, if he accidentally broke into his house, he just kindly took him in.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingming's performance has become more and more over the top recently, he went to his study to make trouble, and even dragged himself to watch the lanterns, and now he asked himself to accompany him for dinner.

It is really unpredictable.

Fang Yueheng sighed. To be honest, he... doesn't seem to be very good at coaxing people. The man fell on the green ground that day, and his whole calf was swollen badly. He was afraid that he would be sad, so he gave him a little thing.

This afternoon, Gu Qingming came to him again, thinking that what he said earlier seemed to be a little harsh on him, so he gave him the jade pendant around his waist again.

In short, the way Master Fang coaxes people is - to give things.

Just as he was thinking, the trembling door was suddenly opened. Fang Yueheng was startled, and had nowhere to hide, and was directly seen by Gu Qingming.

"Master Fang, why... why are you standing outside the door and not coming in." Gu Qingming rubbed his hands nervously, "Are you unwilling to come in and have dinner with me..."

"No." Fang Yueheng stabilized his voice, and then raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingming. The man was still wearing dark blue clothes, and his face was a little pale. He must have been dressed too thin at night and was blown like that by the wind.

But those eyes are really beautiful, the dark green water pupils are like a pool of green pool in the mansion, under the blowing of the evening wind, there are waves.

Fang Yueheng took a deep breath and said, "No, it's windy outside, go in quickly."

The two walked into the room together. There was already a table full of dishes on the table. Gu Qingming was standing there at a loss, not knowing whether he should sit down or not.Fang Yueheng looked at him, and said with a smile: "Aren't you the master, why don't you sit down?"

"Ah, then, please sit down." Gu Qingming opened the seat for him.

Fang Yueheng suddenly grabbed Gu Qingming's arm and pushed him onto the seat, "There's no reason for me to sit first, you sit down."

"Then, let's eat." Gu Qingming handed him another pair of chopsticks, Fang Yueheng took it and nodded, and looked at the food on the table, it was indeed what he ordered the kitchen to cook.
