The daytime finally passed under Xue Chengyi's ardent anticipation. During dinner time, Xue Chengyi suppressed the excitement in his heart, hurriedly finished the dinner, and rushed off the table like a monkey and ran back to the house.

Master Xue was not surprised by this situation, but gently put down his chopsticks, and told Xue Chengyu: "Go out at night and come back earlier, take care of Yi'er, and remember to ask Yi'er to send Shaoqing back home when you come back, don't let Master Luo think Yi'er is unreliable."

The last sentence Master Xue said really startled Xue Chengyu, Xu Hong only told Uncle Fu that they were going out at night but didn't say who they were going out with.

Although he knew that his father knew a lot of things, he didn't expect to know so clearly. Presumably, the matter between himself and Xu Hong couldn't be covered with paper, but Master Xue didn't tell the truth.

"You, know everything?"

Master Xue just smiled, took a bite of food for Xue Chengyu with his chopsticks, and said calmly: "Yi'er has been in love with Shaoqing for a long time, but I don't know whether the two of them are in love or just childhood sweethearts."

"Second brother and younger sister Shaoqing are very likely to be the former, but it's hard to say, let's wait until the second brother is older before thinking about getting married. It's still too early."

Master Xue thought for a while, and agreed, "That makes sense."

Then the voice changed, "But you are the eldest, don't you want to find a good relationship?"

Xue Chengyu knew that Master Xue would ask this question, but it was not the time to put it bluntly, so he turned his head and glanced at Xu Lang who was standing aside, and replied with a smile: "The fate of fate will appear without searching, and I don't bother you." Dad is worried."

Master Xue got a definite answer from Xue Chengyu's gaze, and he also smiled and stopped talking.

The frequent eye contact between the two made Xu Lang on the side see the problem, but it was hard to ask, but what he was sure of was that Master Xue must have known about the two of them.Xue Chengyu has a delicate mind. Master Xue is a level higher than him, and can see through many unexplainable things.

After Xue Chengyu finished his meal, Xu Lang took him to the gate of the mansion, Xue Chengyi had been waiting at the gate for a long time, seeing Xue Chengyu coming out so slowly, he complained: "Brother came out so slowly, don't miss the time to watch the fireflies. "

Xue Chengyu snorted coldly, and replied, "When did I delay your business?"

Xue Chengyi knew that what he said just now was rude, so he bowed his hands to Xue Chengyu to apologize.

He just wanted to see his younger sister Shaoqing soon, so Xue Chengyi went back to the house and changed his outfit, feeling like a little farewell is better than a newly-married one.

Xue Chengyu didn't want to quarrel with Xue Chengyi at the door of the house, so he turned his head and patted Xu Lang's hand, and said softly, "Let's go."

Xu Lang was thinking about the meaning of Xue Chengyu's glance at him at the dinner table just now, but he was taken aback by such a slap, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.

Seeing Xu Lang like this, Xue Chengyu couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Xu Wei's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Xue Chengyu's eyes. After glancing at Xue Chengyi beside him, he pushed Xue Chengyu to leave Xue's mansion and walked towards the gate of the city.

Xue Chengyi and Luo Shaoqing made an appointment to meet at the gate of the city. Luo Shaoqing was wearing a light pink skirt, her hair was rolled up, and a little emerald silver hairpin was inserted on it. Although her eyebrows and eyes had not yet opened, she could still be seen as a beauty.

When Luo Shaoqing saw the three of them arriving, he bowed slightly to salute, and when he saw Xue Chengyi, he even smiled with joy in his eyes.

After leaving the mansion, Xue Chengyi restrained his temperament, and instead of his usual overly lively appearance, he looked like a calm son.

It's a pity that Xue Chengyi has only learned superficially, and the core of it still requires a certain amount of experience to truly understand.

Xue Chengyi came to Luo Shaoqing before Xue Chengyu and Xu Wei, bowed his head and smiled at Luo Shaoqing, and said, "They are all from my own family, so Shaoqing doesn't need to be so polite."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Shaoqing and the maids behind them all covered their mouths and laughed, even Xue Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth, thinking: he is still young and has a sweet mouth, just 14 years old, he will please other girls and wait until he grows up What should I do if I become glib in the future?Fortunately, Xue Chengyu's worries were unnecessary.

Xue Chengyu hasn't seen Luo Shaoqing for a few days, and it's not good to say nothing, so he went up to say a few words of greeting: "I haven't seen my third sister for a long time, I remember the last time we met was a year ago, and now you are so tall She's also growing prettier."

"Brother Cheng Yi hasn't been out for a long time, so it's hard to see him. My father is very concerned about his health. I don't know what's wrong with his leg?"

Xue Chengyu patted his numb and stiff legs with a smile, and replied: "It's still the same, and there is no sign of improvement. Let's not mention this, you go to see the fireflies first, and Xiao Hong and I walk slowly and follow behind."

Xue Chengyi had been waiting for this sentence a long time ago, raised his eyebrows, whispered in Luo Shaoqing's ear for a while, smiled and bowed to Xue Chengyu, and led Luo Shaoqing to take a step ahead.

Xu Lang finally opened his mouth when the two of them were out of sight, and asked softly, "Young master's legs...are there really no signs of getting better?"

Xue Chengyu held Xu Lang's hand, patted the back of his hand, and comforted him: "You won't see it in a month or two, but don't worry, it will definitely have an effect after a long time. Let's go too, after all. You can't live up to the good times when you come out."

Xu Lang nodded, and pushed Xue Chengyu to walk slowly along the river.There are many flowers on the shore, and the breeze blows clusters of flowers swaying.

There were bursts of insects chirping from the cracks in the stones, especially the loudest chirping of crickets. It was impossible to tell which strong cricket was throwing a gauntlet at others of its kind.

Walking on the cobblestone road on the river embankment in a wooden wheelchair is a bit strenuous. Fortunately, the woods on the bank that are suitable for watching fireflies are not far away, and it takes only half an hour to walk there.

In the middle of the river, reeds as tall as a person grow, swaying with the current, layer by layer like waves.

As night fell, the bright moon gradually rose from the east in the sky, and the stars were also shining in the sky.

Xu Lang was tired from walking and wanted to find a place to sit down and rest, but just as he was about to bend down, Xue Chengyu immediately wrapped his arms around him, but this time he didn't pull him into his arms without asking, but just wrapped them loosely around his waist.

"The ground is tide, if you are tired, sit on my lap."

Xu Lang stayed for a moment, turned off the lights, and carefully sat on Xue Chengyu's lap.Although Xue Chengyu's legs are unconscious, they are still good legs, so don't sit down recklessly as a lame leg.

"Why did the young master let the second young master and Miss Luo go first? Don't they look good together?"

With a smile on the corner of Xue Chengyu's mouth, he flicked Xu Hong's forehead lightly, "If I didn't leave them, how could I have the opportunity to be alone now? Could it be that Xiao Hong doesn't want to be alone with me?"

"Of course not..." Xu Hong blinked his big innocent eyes and looked at Xue Chengyu, "I'm just afraid of the second young master...wait..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Chengyu suddenly tightened his arms, and pulled Xu Wei into his arms tightly against him, "Since it's not, then get closer, I won't eat you here—"

The last sentence was said by Xue Chengyu leaning close to Xu Lang's ear, biting his earlobe and whispering. There was sincerity in his teasing tone, as if he really couldn't do it.

Xue Chengyu hugged up his waist, and felt that there seemed to be something bulging in Xu Lang's arms. He glanced at Xu Lang, then reached into his clothes to take out the thing, and played with it carefully.

Those were two small cloth bags of ordinary workmanship, which contained insect repellent medicinal materials, which seemed to be specially prepared by Xu Lang to avoid mosquitoes at night.

Xue Chengyu gave one of the cloth bags to Xu Hong, and held his own tightly in his hand, with a dignified expression, he let out a long sigh of relief, held Xu Hong's hand, and said, "Xiao Hong has a heart."

Xu Lang lowered his head and smiled, and looked at Xue Chengyu affectionately, "The riverside is humid and there are a lot of mosquitoes in summer nights. I'm afraid that the young master will disturb the fireflies because of the insects."

Xue Chengyu pursed his lips, looked at Xu Lang meaningfully, and felt a little nervous when he looked at Xu Lang.

"Other than my mother, Xiaolang is the first person in ten years who can treat me so kindly. Alas, it can be said that there is no need to ask for a good match. When the time comes, it will come by itself."

Xu Lang just smiled and didn't speak. He didn't know what Xue Chengyu had experienced in his childhood. From Xue Chengyu's words, he could feel that Mrs. Xue must be very important to Xue Chengyu and had a great influence on his future growth.

It's just that Xue Chengyu doesn't want to talk about it, and he doesn't want to ask, who can not have some sad memories, and he can't leave any pot unopened.

But Mrs. Xue has always been a mysterious existence in the Xue family. According to what people say, Mrs. Xue has been dead for ten years. During these ten years, Mr. Xue has been alone and has never remarried. He has never met any woman again. Even the decorations in the house are all left by Mrs. Xue during her lifetime and have never been replaced.

Originally, it was not easy for a man with three wives and four concubines to fall in love with one person without taking concubines. It is even rarer to be able to be so infatuated after his wife's death. Master Xue is definitely the No. 1 infatuation in this dynasty.

During the conversation, the moon was already hanging high, the night was dark, and a gust of wind blew through the woods not far away, and there began to be little shimmers of light.In just a moment, the light became huge, and the fireflies became brighter and brighter, gradually connecting together to light up the forest.

The fireflies gathered more and more, and flew out of the forest continuously, flying towards the direction where Xu Lang and Xue Chengyu were.

Xu Lang stretched out his hand to try to grab it but failed. Instead, Xue Chengyu grabbed one as soon as he stretched out his hand, brought it to Xu Lang, and opened his hand cautiously.Without restraint, the little bug flew slowly around Xu Lang, as if dancing slowly.

More fireflies began to dance around the two of them. Xu Lang stretched out his hand and grabbed two or three fireflies.

Xu Lang happily waved the firefly he had caught in front of Xue Chengyu, and Xue Chengyu's heart trembled with that smiling face like a flower.

Xue Chengyu felt that meeting Xu Lang was the greatest blessing in his life. He accepted the light brought by Xu Lang and the warmth from Xu Lang.

Xu Lang was like a ray of light, piercing through the thick cloud, melting the thousand-foot ice layer, and shooting into his heart that had long lost its vitality.

Xue Chengyu touched the corner of Xu Lang's smiling mouth with his hand, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he said word by word, loudly:

"Even if the mountains collapse and the rivers flow backwards, I, Xue Chengyu, will only love Xu Hong in this life!"

Hearing this, Xu Lang stretched out his arms to hug Xue Chengyu, resting his head on his shoulder, tears welling in his eyes.

He and Xue Chengyu are like two desperate beasts, relying on each other's strength, they support each other and go on.

They don't know whether it is right or wrong to be together like this, they can only walk together on this unknown road, even if there is an abyss and a sea of ​​blood ahead, they will not look back or regret it.

Xue Chengyu felt the uneasiness of the person in his arms, and gently patted his back to comfort him.

At this time, the fireflies gradually flew away, and even the crickets that were still chirping just now died down, and the world was surprisingly quiet, as if there were only two of them in the world, cuddling each other and feeling each other's warmth.

Xu Hong slowly let go of his arms when the insects were completely gone, lowered his head aggrieved and dared not look at Xue Chengyu, not only that, but even turned around, secretly wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes.

He is always so crying and holds Xue Chengyu's heart trembling.

Xue Chengyu took out a torch and lit the lantern, patted Xu Lang's thin shoulder, and said, "Xiao Lang, let's go home."

Xu Lang nodded weakly, got off Xue Chengyu, and pushed the wheelchair towards home.

For Xu Lang, Xue Mansion is his real home, a happy and joyful home.
