after being kidnapped by the general

"What is masturbation?"

In the darkness, Chu Hechao asked.

His voice was hoarse, but calm, and his tone didn't sound like he was doing that kind of thing.

Yuanli was a little uncertain again, did he really misread just now?

"It's just..." Yuanli organized the language for a long time, and finally chose to give up, "It's nothing."

But if he didn't figure it out, Yuanli would scratch his head and feel uncomfortable.He moved his feet and walked in the direction of Chu Hechao.

The wooden basin was kicked by him, and half a basin of water dangled out.

Chu Hechao's whole body was shrouded in darkness. In such a dark color that could hide all dirty thoughts, he seemed a little indulgent.He calmly leaned against the back of the chair, letting the fire burn his internal organs, and put his hands on his thighs without touching them, just supporting them like that.

Hearing the sound of water, he sharply opened his eyes and warned, "Don't come over."

so fierce.

The corner of Yuanli's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart.

Will Chu Hechao really be hard because of him?

But if it's not hard, why did you put out the fire and why didn't you let him pass?

Yuan Li took his steps lightly, followed the memory in his mind, and carefully avoided all obstacles and slowly approached Chu Hechao.

The sound of water ticking by the basin became the best cover.

Chu Hechao didn't notice his approach, he was enjoying this environment, the cage full of shackles in his heart was slightly opened a small gap.

From morning to night, once I think of Yuanli, my mind will be filled with all kinds of noisy voices.There was Chu Mingfeng's confession before he died, the scolding from his parents, the whispering from his subordinates...these voices were full of cynicism, disappointment and hatred.But now, they were all suppressed one by one.

Chu Hechao raised his head, and the tough and barbaric side of his nature began to emerge.His face was expressionless, even a little cold.But my mind is full of all kinds of unknown dirty evil thoughts.

For example, he told Yuan Li not to come, but Yuan Li insisted on coming.So he couldn't bear it any longer, and pressed the little sister-in-law on the table, pulled his legs away, and asked him why he was disobedient.

Another example is Chu He Chao lying on Yuanli's body, sprinting with his head buried in silence.The good-looking little sister-in-law pitifully and helplessly could only bear his demands and rampage, crying until her eyes were red and her body was covered in sweat.

In her mind, she contradicted him, teased him, made him cry, and did everything.

What Chu Hechao was thinking was getting more and more excessive, and all the evils were used on Yuan Li in his imagination, exposing all the evil and hotness in this aspect in a man's instinct.After suppressing the signs for more than two months, once he had the idea of ​​indulgence, Chu Hechao's temples would bulge and hurt.

But when he was doing it ferociously in his mind and crying for his father and mother, in reality he was sitting firmly on the chair, even with his eyes closed.

Even in the dark, he was unwilling to take a look in Yuanli's direction.

He used all his strength to protect his precarious sanity.

But as if deliberately opposing him, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness and touched Chu Hechao's arm.

Chu Hechao was dragged back to reality, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

There was heat approaching, and Yuanli's voice came, "Chu Hechao?"

It can be regarded as finding someone, Yuanli was relieved.He lowered his head and looked at Chu Hechao carefully, but with his eyes wide open, he could only see the outline of Chu Hechao's shadow in the darkness, and he couldn't tell whether he was tough or not.Yuanli had no choice but to take further action, hiding his purpose tightly, as if he was not careful, "I came here to find a candle to light it... How did you extinguish the candle? Do you have a flint on you?"

He reached out and touched Chu Hechao's arm quickly, from the arm down, and touched Chu Hechao's hand on his thigh.

Ah, he really wasn't doing that.

Yuanli was a little embarrassed.

But it's already come to this point, why not just verify the guess "whether Chu Hechao is gay"... Yuan Li was about to pretend to accidentally brush, when Chu Hechao grabbed his hand.

Chu Hechao's palms were hot, he used a lot of strength, and his tone was cold, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Li's hand hurt so much from being grabbed, he pulled it back, thinking it would be difficult to pull it back, but unexpectedly, after sensing his intention, Chu Hechao let go of it instantly, as if throwing away Picked up a hot potato.

The man said in a low voice, and warned again: "One last time, Yuanli, stay away from me."

This time, Yuanli could hear the faint danger in his tone.

As if he was on the edge of a cliff, if Yuanli did anything to him again, he would explode immediately.

Yuanli had heard Chu Hechao say "stay away from me" more than once, he didn't take it seriously before, but now he frowned.

Feeling a little strange.

But hearing this sentence too much made him uncomfortable.

Yuanli stopped talking.

When Chu Hechao was silent, his forehead protruded, and he bit his back teeth to stop his desire to speak.

Finally, the young man spoke, without any emotion, "Do you really want me to stay away from you?"

Chu Hechao wanted to say "yes", but the word got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

"If you say yes," Yuan Li said, "then I will stay away from you in the future."

Chu Hechao's heart sank suddenly, and his brows furrowed at some point.

The words came back and forth in my throat, but I just couldn't get them out.

Yuanli was waiting for his answer.

The man was breathing more and more heavily, and suddenly stood up and walked out the door.

All the obstacles encountered along the way were kicked away by him irritably, a few loud bangs were heard, and the person had already opened the door and ran away.

Silver moonlight came in from outside the door, Yuan Li followed the moonlight to the door, and saw the bamboo forest with no one outside.

Yuanli looked at it for a while, closed the door, and fumbled to light a candle.

After wiping the sweat off his body with half a basin of water, he cleaned the floor and went to bed.

Not long after, Chu Hechao also came back.His face was covered with water, and his neckline was wet a lot.When he came back, his expression was already normal, as if nothing had happened to him, he lay down beside Yuanli after washing.

Yuan Li wrapped the quilt tightly and turned to face the wall with his back to him.

Feeling a real gaze on his back, Yuanli didn't want to pay attention, and shrank even more under the quilt.

After a while, the man couldn't help but want to say, "You..."

He endured it again.

I feel dawn.

In the next few days, Yuan Li ignored Chu Hechao, and perfectly fulfilled Chu Hechao's words of "stay away from him".Apart from enjoying the Cui family's hermit life, the rest of Yuanli's time was spent attacking Cui Yan.

In order to win Cui Yan, Yuanli put in a lot of effort.Not only did he come up with a lot of math problems for future generations, he promised to find like-minded people to study mathematics with him, but he also drew a lot of big cakes for Cui Yan, advocating Cui Yan's ambition.

Yuanli asked Cui Yan if he wanted to leave a name in the history books, if he wanted to be famous all over the world like his father, with thousands of students.After Cui Yan was shaken, Yuan Li encouraged him to apply arithmetic to other aspects, such as weapons, such as construction... What he said made Cui Yan's blood boil.

There is no man who does not want to make contributions.Yuan Li earnestly persuaded Cui Yan that with such a talent, is it true that he really wants to live in the mountains and fields all his life, and just live so quietly, without leaving a trace in this world?

To be honest, Cui Yan was tempted.But at the same time, he was also very hesitant, unable to let go of his wife and children and go to Ji County alone.

After learning about this, Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "Then let's pack our bags and go to live in Ji County with you, shall we?"

Cui Yan shook his head and sighed, "But father won't leave Mangshan."

Cui Xuan has three sons, the eldest son and the second son are not around, only Cui Yan can accompany his father to fulfill his filial piety.

Although his father agreed to go down the mountain to Ji County to crown Yuanli this time, Cui Yan also understood that after the crowning ceremony, his father would definitely return to Mang Mountain and would not stay in Ji County.It's too lonely for his old man to live alone in the mountains, and their children can't be so unfilial, that's why Cui Yan couldn't make a decision.

Mrs. Meng also remembered this, and she thought for a moment, "What you said is that father will not leave here. Husband, if you want to go, don't worry, I will take the children to live with my father in Mangshan .Changping County is not far from Ji County, if you miss us, come back and visit us more often.”

When Cui Yan heard this, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help holding his wife's hand in emotion, "Thank you, madam."

Mrs. Meng gave him an angry look, "You and I, husband and wife, why bother to thank you."

After solving the serious problem in his heart, Cui Yan packed his bags that day.The next day, the father and son followed Yuanli and his party on their way back to Ji County.

Because they were concerned about Cui Xuan's body, they went back much slower, and they arrived in Ji County two days later.

Yuanli and Cui Yan helped Cui Xuan off the carriage together, and led them into the manor with a smile.Not long after, Yuanli saw Yuanlou and Yuandan brothers rushing over.

Seeing the hurried footsteps of the two brothers from a distance, Yuan Li's heart trembled.

A bad premonition hit my heart.

He walked over quickly, and when he got closer, Yuan Li saw clearly the haggard complexions and red and swollen eyes of the two brothers. His heart sank, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why do you look like this?"

Seeing Yuanli, Yuanlou Yuandan couldn't help but feel sore, two lines of tears came out, and he choked up and said: "Li'er, a letter from Ruyang two days ago said that grandpa got a cold in winter, and he didn't survive the year. It's over... He passed away at the beginning of the first month!"

really.

Yuan Li choked for breath and froze in place.

Yuan Li knew the news that the patriarch would die of illness, and had already prepared for this day.

When that day really came, he still felt the sadness that was caught off guard.But what is even more ridiculous is that Yuanli still has to show the shock and grief when he first heard about the incident, and the heartbreak when he learned that the patriarch's last wish was to let him establish the crown in advance.

It's a show, but a show that has to be done.

Such a performance is essential if you want to establish a crown in advance in a logical manner, and if you want to create an image of yourself as filial and affectionate.

For several days in a row, Yuanli was consuming his emotions to face everyone.Including the two brothers Yuanlou and Yuandan, as well as Liu Jixin and other subordinates.

Yuanli will not let one more person know about this kind of thing.

During the days when he was preparing to become crowned, he could only breathe a sigh of relief in front of Chu Hechao.

Because of the death of the patriarch, the frost between the two of them melted a lot.Chu Hechao didn't hide from Yuanli anymore, he took over the chores in Yuanli's hands, and settled Cui Xuan and his son.The two returned to the way they used to get along, helping each other, like collaborators and uncles, but in the details, there seemed to be a lot of differences.

in the study.

Chu Hechao handed a cup of tea to Yuanli, "The coronation ceremony has been prepared, you don't need to meet people these few days, shut yourself in your room to rest."

Yuan Li sat on the chair and closed his eyes to meditate, his brows and eyes were full of exhaustion, the fundus of his eyes was blue and black, and his eyes were red and swollen.He opened his eyes sleepily, took the teacup, "OK."

Seeing him like this, Chu Hechao frowned. When Yuanli was about to drink tea, he reached out and snatched the teacup, poured out the strong tea in it, made a glass of clear water, and yelled softly, "Go to bed after drinking."

Yuan Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he drank the water to moisten his throat.Looking at the willow tree with green leaves growing from the branches of the window, I stared at it for a while, and suddenly said softly: "General, there are five days until the coronation ceremony, right?"

Chu Hechao also looked at the window, "Yes."

Five days.
