All rivers and mountains are safe

It just rained at night, the dark clouds have not yet dissipated, the sun is hidden behind the clouds, and there is a layer of mist around it, the weather is cloudy and sunny.

Shen Ming'an stood beside Lu Ciheng, watching the carriage carrying Lin Hongshen and Lin Cheng gradually go away. When the carriage drove out of sight, he turned around without saying a word, and was caught by Lu Ciheng within two steps. wrist.

"Ming An, do you have something you want to tell me?"

Shen Mingan's lips parted slightly, he hesitated to speak, he subconsciously looked up at Lu Ciheng's eyes, then quickly looked away, and said as if he had been exposed: "No, no."

He didn't know what to say and where to start, the matter of Lu Wenhuai was the thing that Shen Mingan was most afraid to touch, and the thing that he was most afraid to say to Lu Ciheng.

In bed before, Lu Ciheng had the impression that he would mention Lu Wenhuai almost every time he fucked him. Usually at this time, Shen Mingan would be silent and let him get whatever he wanted.

Shen Mingan wanted him not to mention it, but he had no position, let alone qualifications.

This matter is like a box that has been dusty for a long time. As long as it is kept there and not opened, Shen Mingan can still lie to himself. If he really breaks the news with Lu Ciheng, how should he deal with himself at that time.

Shen Mingan himself could feel that the way he lied must be very clumsy, but fortunately Lu Ciheng didn't press the question, but said to him in a gentle voice: "It's almost noon, this place is close to the palace, let's go to Guangyi Hall for dinner."

"I'm not hungry, I'll go back to Shen's residence to eat..."

"Just treat it as being with me, okay?" Lu Ciheng bowed slightly in front of him, his voice was low and aggrieved, "I've been eating alone these days, and no one is with me, no matter how good it is The food is tasteless."

Shen Mingan dodged his eyes in a panic, and responded in a daze.

The palace road was narrow and shady, Shen Mingan felt dizzy due to lack of sleep, and had a bit of difficulty walking.

The chest was so stuffy that it was uncomfortable to breathe, Shen Mingan followed behind Lu Ciheng, calmly pressed his hands on his chest, trying to slow himself down, but with little effect.

When he was about to reach the entrance of Guangyi Hall, the child in his belly kicked him. Shen Mingan was caught off guard, and supported his tight stomach on the palace pillar, unable to breathe due to the pain.

When his knees softened and he almost knelt on the ground, Lu Ciheng hugged him, carried him horizontally into the hall, and asked him with a frown: "The child is messing with you, isn't it?"

"Well, he moved." Shen Mingan sat on the bed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his voice was a bit muffled.

Lu Ciheng still couldn't believe that there was really a child belonging to both of them in Shen Mingan's stomach. He carefully placed his hands on Shen Mingan's stomach. After a while, Shen Mingan's stomach was pushed against by the movement of the child in his belly. Starting a little, the arc is very small, but it is clearly visible, right next to the place where Lu Ciheng's palm is covered.

Because of the child's movements, Lu Ciheng's fingertips felt numb. He was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look at Shen Mingan, his amber eyes were filled with joy, "He really moved!"

Shen Mingan was infected by his emotions, and in the past two days, he had a rare smile on his face, and said softly: "He often moves like this."

Just now, the child in his stomach kicked too hard, and Shen Mingan's stomach felt tight. After sitting down, he got better. The child's movements in the next few times were very light. Shen Mingan felt a little painful, but not too uncomfortable.

Lu Ciheng's hand was on his belly for a long time, and after waiting for a long time for the child to stop moving, he let it go in a sense of loss, but there was joy that could not be concealed between his brows, and he said softly to Shen Mingan: "I plan to Let people rebuild the imperial garden, trim the weeds and trees before, plant some flowers that bloom all year round, and make a swing for the children to play on."

"We have to think about ways to go to the riverside of the Royal Garden. There is no shelter there, and the river stones are covered with moss, which is easy to slip. It is best to build a wooden railing by the river, so that after our child is born, we can play in the Royal Garden. Don't worry about him accidentally falling into the lake." With a smile on his face, Lu Ciheng continued, "I'll take you to the Imperial Garden to relax after lunch, and see where a lawn is suitable for me, kid They should all like animals, and they can raise some rabbits or fly kites on the grass..."

What Lu Ciheng said was so beautiful, Shen Mingan's brows gradually relaxed, but when he heard the words "fall into the lake", he lost his mind for a moment. Pain, the whole person sat stiffly on the bed, and he didn't listen to a word of what Lu Ciheng said later.

Lu Ciheng was still saying that flowers of different colors look better in the imperial garden, when Shen Mingan suddenly called out to him: "Lu Ciheng."

"Huh?" Lu Ciheng stopped talking, and looked up at him with a soft expression.

Shen Mingan didn't dare to look him in the eyes, he was sore and uncomfortable, he tried his best to sound calm, but he still stumbled when he said it, "Didn't Lu Wenhuai drown in the lotus pond because of my words back then in the Imperial College? middle……"

He raised his eyes slightly, and found that Lu Ciheng was looking at him for a moment, and suddenly became flustered, his chest felt tight and painful, and his eyes were dizzy uncontrollably, "I'm not trying to shirk responsibility..."

But no matter how he looked, he seemed to be evading, Shen Mingan lowered his head ashamed, "I just, I just think this matter should be told to you. Lu Wenhuai's death has nothing to do with you, so don't feel guilty."

"Then whose cause was his death?"

Lu Ciheng's voice could be called gentle, his tone was very peaceful, and he was simply asking, but Shen Mingan felt sore and painful in his heart, and said incoherently: "It's me...it's my fault, but I thought you were wrong on the small boat. I said that on purpose to make me angry. I didn't know that you liked him, and he liked you too. But, but you are blood relatives after all, that's why I said those things to him. I'm sorry, I really didn't know at that time. If it's because you have a child, you don't have to treat me so well..."

Lu Ciheng saw that Shen Mingan's words were getting more and more outrageous, so he interrupted him and said, "Who told you that I like him?"

"Lu Qingshi."

"Have you gone to see Lu Qingshi?"

Shen Mingan gave a soft "hmm", his eyebrows were lowered, his voice was hoarse, "Lu Wenhuai told me that he likes you, and you, you also told me..."

"It's because he likes me, not because I like him. What I said on the boat was just to get your attention."

Shen Mingan's eyes were flooded, and he raised his head in astonishment, his eyes showed confusion, as if he was struggling to understand the meaning of his words.

Lu Ciheng realized that he said that he liked their child, and that he apologized to him, but he never said that he liked him.

Except for the joke at the age of 17, he never said it again. He didn't expect that the matter of Lu Wenhuai caused Shen Mingan such a great psychological pressure, so much so that he still remembered it until now, and misunderstood that the person he liked was Lu Wenhuai.

"Ming An." Lu Ciheng suddenly understood why Shen Ming An had been depressed for the past two days, he hugged Shen Ming An into his arms, put his head on his shoulder, and said softly but firmly, "I love you, Ming An."

"I hated you, blamed you, hurt you, misunderstood you... I'm an asshole." Lu Ciheng's throat was sore, with an imperceptible tremor, he said every word in his ear extremely Seriously, "But the fact that I love you hasn't changed since I was a kid."
