Xu Lang always felt that Xue Chengyu was a little weird since he fell asleep inexplicably for a day on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

And not only Xue Chengyu has changed, but the whole Xue family is a little strange, and the most abnormal one is Xue Chengyi.

On weekdays, when the two brothers met, no matter what they were discussing, they would always argue and bicker when they had disagreements. Recently, Xue Chengyi came to Xue Chengyu to discuss matters more and more times, and the quarrels caused by disagreements became more and more frequent. few.Except for not sleeping together at night, I wish I could stick together every moment of the day.

At first, Xu Lang thought it was the two of them discussing matters related to the chamber of commerce. After all, the new year was almost over, and as soon as the new year came out, there were a lot of things waiting to be done, so it was good to be busy for a while.

But the days have passed from the fifth day to the [-]th, and even if there is an urgent matter, it should be completed in ten days, but the two of them still haven't discussed the matter, which aroused Xu Lang's suspicion.

I still remember that one day Xue Chengyi brought a letter from the concierge, and after only a few glances, he hurriedly ran to Xue Chengyu's room to discuss with him.

Xu Lang leaned over curiously and wanted to take a look, but he didn't want to be pulled aside by Xue Chengyi. What made him even more puzzled was that Xue Chengyi actually said that the letter was written by a girl who admired Xue Chengyu, and the content of the letter was so disgusting that it was not suitable for him. look.

Hearing this, Xu Lang rolled his eyes helplessly, questioning Xue Chengyi's ability to lie in his heart. He has been with Xue Chengyu for so many years, and he has never seen such a frequent girl writing letters as this year, even if all the people in Jiangnan are here. The marriageable age is not enough to write letters to exchange feelings in private, the two brothers must have something to hide from themselves.

On the morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Xue Chengyi found Xue Chengyu again with the "Routine Letter". The two got together and whispered something.

Anyway, looking at Xue Chengyi's appearance, he was very happy. Maybe it was Mr. Xue who settled the marriage, and the two of them were preparing for the marriage.

But Xu Lang thought about it and thought it was wrong. If it was such a big event as engagement, the whole house would celebrate it. How could they just let the two of them toss in private, there must be something tricky here!

Xue Chengyi had a conversation with Xue Chengyu, and when he saw Xu Hong who was staring at them with resentful eyes at the door, he leaned into Xue Chengyu's ear very "intimately", and said: "Brother Hong is jealous, but brother must make good compensation. "After finishing speaking, he took the letter away and left the house bouncing.

It wasn't until then that Xu Lang walked to Xue Chengyu's side, and gently put the snack plate on the table, thinking that Xue Chengyu didn't need it, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Xue Chengyu stretched out his hand to hold her.

"Xiao Lang is angry? Are you blaming me for not being with you these days?"

Xu Lang didn't break free from Xue Chengyu's hand, but just shook his head, and said lightly: "How can I blame the young master? The young master is the head of the Xue family. I think it's because I have been busy with things recently and I can't make time. I won't blame you for such a trivial matter." And angry."

Xue Chengyu felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He always forgets to take into account Xu Lang's feelings when he gets busy like this. He obviously wants to keep him from worrying but does bad things with good intentions, which makes him worry about himself.

"Then Xiaohong doesn't want to know what we are doing?" Xue Chengyu asked tentatively. He was in a dilemma now. There were tigers in front of him and pursuers behind him, and he was still standing on a single-plank bridge under his feet.

But he always felt that it was not good to hide this matter from Xu Lang. Xu Lang had the right to know the truth, and of course he would tell the truth if he asked.

Xu Lang sat down slowly, thought for a while, and asked aggrievedly: "Is it really the letters written by other girls expressing love that the young master read these days?"

"What... what?" Xue Chengyu obviously didn't expect Xu Lang to ask this question, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with an answer, so he asked instead, "Who told Xiaohong that I was reading that kind of letter?"

Xu Lang looked at Xue Chengyu with an expression of "knowingly asking", and replied without thinking: "Of course it is the second young master. He said it in this room. Didn't the young master hear it?"

Maybe it's because he has too many things to think about recently that he has no time to take care of the conversations with the people around him. He doesn't even know when Cheng Yi is joking with Xu Lang, so he can only scratch his head and nod embarrassingly.

"Actually, so many letters are not written to me, and some of them are written by sister Shaoqing to Cheng Yi. He came to me because he was bored... Don't get me wrong, Xiaohong..."

Xue Chengyu's appearance at this time was like a cat that was caught upright, afraid of meeting Xu Hong's clear eyes, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

Xu Lang had never seen such a cute Xue Chengyu before, she couldn't help pursing her lips and comfortingly said, "Even if there are girls outside who write to the young master, I can't stop them, the young master just reads them, so what are you afraid of?" .”

In fact, it was not Xu Hong's original intention to say this, he really wanted to possess Xue Chengyu, and let Xue Chengyu belong to him alone.

But he has self-knowledge, he knows that even if Mr. Xue admits that he is from the Xue family, his identity and status are not enough for him to call himself Xue Chengyu's "lover" openly.

His life was saved by Xue Chengyu, and everything he had was given by Xue Chengyu. As a gift, he could only give himself to Xue Chengyu, even if he was as humble as a grain of sand in front of Xue Chengyu.

Maybe what Qiao Jian said was right, he took himself too seriously, obviously a beggar dog should wag his tail and beg for mercy from his master, and obey his master's orders, how could he have the right to speculate on his master's mind?

For the past four years, I have been taking care of Xue Chengyu every step of the way. Xue Chengyu has also passed the age of youth and lust, and his body has become more and more stiff, not as soft as when he was seventeen or eighteen.

The feeling of hugging a man can't be compared with the feeling of hugging a warm and fragrant nephrite. Maybe his young master thinks he is "old" and is starting to tire of him.

"If the young master has a girl he likes, he can ask the master to propose marriage. This will not only avoid reading so many letters every day, but also make the rumors from the outside world self-defeating."

Xue Chengyu was very surprised when he heard Xu Lang's words. He didn't understand why Xu Lang said these words suddenly. Could it be that he was really angry at himself for not being with him these days?

"What did Xiaohong say? I remember I said before that I only love you in this life. Have you forgotten?"

What Xue Chengyu promised, every word Xu Hong dared not forget, but many things recently made him clearly feel that someone was targeting him and Xue Chengyu. Thinking of this, Xu Hong couldn't help but hold his hands tightly, fell into deep anxiety.

"I haven't forgotten, but don't you think, young master, that the recent events are aimed at you and me?"

Xue Chengyu frowned, and fell into worry along with Xu Lang.What happened recently was all Qiao Jian's trick behind the scenes, he was even responsible for instigating Master Luo to propose marriage.

Qiao Jian's way of playing with a hammer here and a stick at this time has no rules at all. The ultimate goal must be to overthrow himself, but it is too despicable to arrange such traps to sow discord along the way.

"Are you afraid?" Xue Chengyu asked softly.

Xu Lang raised his head to meet Xue Chengyu's worried eyes, his soft heart trembled unconsciously, thinking: He can't be weak at this time, Xue Chengyu said before that he would resist the wind, sea and rain, since Xue Chengyu is protecting him, what's the matter fear?

"I'm not afraid of how Qiao Jian will treat me. I'm just afraid that he will be unfavorable to the young master. Recently, the young master's health has become worse and worse. If he continues to work hard, his body will definitely not be able to hold on."

Xue Chengyu smiled contemptuously and didn't take this matter to heart, "Don't worry, Xiaolang, it's fine for me to live for another three to five years, even if I'm going to die..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Xu Hong stretched out his fingers and put them on Xue Chengyu's lips, asking him not to speak any more.At the same time, Xu Lang's eyes were full of complaints, as if blaming him for talking nonsense.

"The young master always talks about life and death, and he is not afraid of causing bad luck. The young master must live a long life, so that he can protect Xiaohong... so that he can... love Xiaohong..."

Speaking of this, Xu Hong seemed to have no courage to continue. At some point, Xue Chengyu's eyes were full of smiles. His deep eyes, like the boundless starry sky, attracted Xu Hong's attention, so that Xu Hong forgot what happened next. something to say.

Xue Chengyu raised and removed the index finger that was blocking his lips, held Xu Lang's little hand tightly, rubbed his forehead, and said dotingly: "Don't worry, Xiaohong, as long as it is Xiaohong's request, I will try my best to meet it." But since Xiaolang wants me to live to be a hundred years old, Xiaolang will also accompany me until that time, and no one is allowed to leave anyone before that, and no one is allowed to give up on anyone.”

"I will not abandon the young master, I will always be with the young master until the end of my life..."

Xu Lang looked at Xue Chengyu's eyes for a long time but couldn't regain his senses. After a while, Xu Lang recovered, shook his head vigorously, and his face began to flush for no reason.

Xue Chengyu is a big villain, always grabbing his heart when he is talking about serious things, and the strength is just right, which makes him want to stop.

What's more, so many years have passed, the problem of being shy has not been changed because of the growth of age, but it has become more serious. As long as Xue Chengyu stares at it for a while, he will blush, that speed is simply unmatched .

"Today is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Let's go to the Lantern Festival after eating the Lantern Festival. I heard that this year's Lantern Festival has a lot of new tricks compared to last year. Maybe you can find the lantern I'm looking for."

Xu Lang had never heard Xue Chengyu mention the fire and the lamp, looked at Xue Chengyu blankly, and asked: "Lamp? What kind of lamp? Is it important to the young master?"

Xue Chengyu raised his head, sighed deeply, and said reminiscingly: "The lantern is not important, but the important person is gone, and there is no one in the world who can make such a lantern for me."

Xu Lang knew who the most important person Xue Chengyu was talking about was, and her position in Xue Chengyu's heart was much higher than his own.

Xue Chengyu seldom mentioned things about his mother. Today, there are only two possibilities, either choose to let go or continue to be persistent.

Maybe this time Xue Chengyu might be the former.
