Duan Zhishaohua

The world was boundless, Duan Shaohua took off his cloak, and handed it to Director Yan with both hands.When the warmth disappeared, his body suddenly became cold, and Duan Shaohua just rubbed his hands.

The wheels of the carriage, creaking sounds, gradually drifting away.

At this time, there was already a lot of noise and confusion in the street, and Duan Shaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief until he couldn't see his back and was only lost in confusion.

Finally, something settled in my mind, but after that, Duan Shaohua didn't dare to face it anymore.

What I said just now was not impulsive, I believed in Ruoyuan but said that I have no regrets, and so did he.

There was a sudden warmth in the hand, and it was squeezed tightly in the palm.Both of them were silent for a moment, until a little snow fell, Xin Ruoyuan said: "Why don't you just settle down in my mansion in the capital." , good mountains and rivers, we can visit them one by one.”

With a word of sincerity, Duan Shaohua said without any hesitation, "Okay."

The winter in Beijing is always long, only this time, Duan Shaohua felt warm from inside to outside.

On the day that Prince Jing led the troops to go to war, the whole capital was quite a sensation.Outside the imperial city, in front of the Zhu Gate, today's emperor poured wine for him as a farewell party, hoping for his early return.The army was solemn and majestic, both sides of the street were already crowded with people who came to watch, crowds and groups, none of them hoped that Prince Jing would return in victory as soon as possible.

On the side of the street, among the crowd, a maid in a pink skirt was trying to poke her head forward, but it didn't seem like the enthusiasm of the people around her.She followed closely with her eyes until the large group of people left the city gate.

It wasn't until they were out of sight that the maid quickly withdrew and left.Walking and running all the way, he didn't stop until he reached a mansion.

Panting slightly, she entered through the back door with a rather happy expression on her face.

"Young master." She started calling after a long distance, and ran straight into a room. When she opened the door, it was filled with heat and the smell of tea.

"Mr. Duan, the young master is also here." Cai Qing smiled a little embarrassedly, and immediately said: "Just now I went to the street to see, many people were there, and Prince Jing really went out this time."

After listening, Duan Shaohua's hand that had been caressing the tea cover finally stopped, and his fingertips turned because they touched the porcelain surface for a long time, and it was already hot.

Xin Ruoyuan drank the last sip of tea, looked at Duan Shaohua with a smile, "The prince has left, you should feel at ease now."

Duan Shaohua couldn't deny it, and clenched his fist a little bit, "There will always be a day of return."

Xin Ruoyuan quickly continued: "At that time, you and I were already in the mountains and rivers, a fairyland on earth."

Duan Shaohua lowered his head, his eyebrows stretched, "I still have to trouble you for everything."

The two are facing each other now, it is no longer a matter of etiquette, and they are more like you and me, and the relationship between them seems to be one step closer.

The winter snow is about to melt, and with Xin Ruoyuan's words, his plans for the future are gradually becoming clear.The scenery of lakes and mountains, misty waves and green willows seem to have been outlined in front of your eyes.

At night, the waning moon is like a hook, a shallow round, casting milky white light in the sky.Duan Shaohua took off his clothes and fell on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

As soon as Pei Jing left, Duan Shaohua was naturally happy.If it was said that he was cruel, he wished he could hope that Pei Jing would never return, so as to save him from worrying and frightening.But after thinking about it, it is about the territory of the dynasty, the hatred of the country and the family, and the whole country will be in chaos, and there will be no place to live.

Recalling the danger when Pei Jing was about to leave that day, Duan Shaohua finally felt a little regretful, if he was not careful, he would implicate Xin Ruoyuan.

However, he did not know.How can a person like Xin Ruoyuan, who is as flawless as a full moon, help him in every possible way and tell each other his lovesickness?After thinking about it, could it be that he cherishes his piano intention?

Otherwise, there seems to be no other reason.

In the past few days, I have been ambiguous with him, sometimes close and sometimes far away, but after thinking about it, I have never regretted it.

After all, Duan Shaohua sometimes looked at himself, with his current appearance, it would be futile to want to marry a wife and have children.But if he wanted to return to Pei Jing's side again, it would be like falling into hell.He is a bit selfish, why not cast a backer.

It was a bleak month, and Duan Shaohua gasped for breath. Once upon a time, he would never have such an idea.Today, the roots of descendants have been cut off, and even the self-esteem of men is gone.

I silently said this thought in my heart, I don't know when it was, the moonlight became more and more blurred, it was a good time to fall asleep together.But outside the door, there was someone coming under the moonlight, which could be heard very clearly through a door.

Xin Ruoyuan was obviously coming towards him, but after a long time, he just stood outside the door and paced back and forth.The deliberately light steps reached Duan Shaohua's ears through the wooden door, disturbing his original thoughts.

He got up with his clothes on, and stood by the door for a while, the footsteps didn't stop, but he still didn't intend to knock on the door.

The night was as cold as water, so he couldn't just let him spend the whole night like this.Duan Shaohua immediately lit the candle and opened the door.

Looking at it, Xin Ruoyuan was holding one hand in the air, and was about to knock on the door.

Xin Ruoyuan was slightly startled, seemed a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Did I wake you up?"

"It just so happens that I can't sleep either." Duan Shaohua smiled and welcomed Xin Ruoyuan into the door.There was a bright hall in the room, and he was the first to make a cup of tea for him, before saying: "You are here at this time, but is there anything urgent?"

Xin Ruoyuan said "Oh" with a faint smile, "It just so happens that I can't sleep either, so I came to chat with you just thinking about it."

At this time, the night was dark and the dew was heavy, he came here in the middle of the night, just for the sake of chatting?

Although Duan Shaohua was suspicious, he still sat down opposite him, fiddling with the tea lid from time to time, waiting for Xin Ruoyuan to speak.

The candle flame flickered for a while, and the sound was quiet for a while.

The tea in the cup seemed to be getting cold, Xin Ruoyuan finally lit up the candle, "Actually, I have something to tell you."

As soon as the words fell, Duan Shaohua only felt that his heart was agitated.Intuitively, what Xin Ruoyuan will tell is not simple.

It is no longer a word of seeking for good and bad, nor is it a word of asking for warmth.Xin Ruoyuan's smile faded slowly, it was rare to be serious, but his peach blossom eyes were unusually flickering, he looked at Duan Shaohua, his eyes were full of embarrassment.

"Actually, I knew you better before I took you to Yangzhou."

With this sentence, it brought out a few traces of scorching heat.Duan Shaohua was stunned for a moment, and took a careful look at Xin Ruoyuan, he was serious, not at all joking as usual.

Duan Shaohua didn't know what to say for a while, it seemed that what to say was inappropriate.

Then, Xin Ruoyuan said again: "Do you still remember Mu Qingchen?"

This name, which sounds unfamiliar at first but then familiar, ignites the firework of memories.It's just that it has been dusty in memory for a long time, and Duan Shaohua's recollection is actually a little vague.

That man with a dusty temperament and a handsome face.But also a very difficult person to get along with.

But I don't know, how could Xin Ruoyuan mention him suddenly?

Duan Shaohua didn't ask, just listened to Xin Ruoyuan and continued: "Mu Qingchen and I are old acquaintances, and we have gradually become strangers since he entered Prince Jing's mansion. But he can be favored, and I am also happy for him ,until!"

Xin Ruoyuan procrastinated, he deliberately omitted that part of the past that neither he nor Duan Shaohua wanted to recall.

"Then he left Prince Jing's mansion one day. I didn't know what happened, but he came to look for me. What he said was also unknown. He only said that he has no body and no tiredness, and he wants to follow me around."

Duan Shaohua was not too surprised when he heard this remark, he remembered that Mu Qingchen targeted him several times when he was still in the palace, because of his friendship with Xin Ruoyuan.

It seems that he guessed correctly at that time, Mu Qingchen really had Xin Ruoyuan in his heart.

Knowing the answer, Duan Shaohua deliberately asked: "Then did you refuse or agree?"

Xin Ruoyuan hit the table with his fan, and said with a smile: "If I really agree, will I still be here at this moment?"

Duan Shaohua chuckled lightly, quite teasingly, "But Mr. Mu has a pure appearance, and he was like a fairy in the dust. At that time, even Prince Jing didn't pay attention to him, and he just chased after you, Mr. Wuxia."

After hearing this, Xin Ruoyuan just smiled wryly and didn't go into it any further. He just continued with the previous words: "But I didn't mean that at the time. I just thought that my old friend was in trouble and I needed to help him, so I placed him in a new house. Just wait for him to figure it out for himself."

Speaking of this, Xin Ruoyuan's eyes were deep, soaking in Duan Shaohua's body, "The youngest son next to him said that you are a person who clings to favor, but I just didn't believe it, so I sent someone to inquire at Prince Jing's mansion. "

As it was, he spoke all that was hidden.Duan Shaohua actually trembled, that is to say, those two years?

He looked suspiciously, but Xin Ruoyuan's face was gloomy, "Although I know it clearly, it's a pity that you were suffering at that time, but I was powerless to help."

Duan Shaohua couldn't help thinking of that snowy night encounter with Xin Ruoyuan, or it wasn't a coincidence at all.

There was a sudden warmth in the palm, which was touched by Xin Ruoyuan, "I don't know how you were forced by the rich and powerful at that time, and you were just a mere luthier, how could you make Prince Jing agree to the two-year agreement. And then a few times... ..." Xin Ruoyuan couldn't bear to say it directly, he really didn't know how Duan Shaohua endured the abuse again and again.

"Your piano skills are amazing, neither humble nor overbearing, even though your family is in decline, you can still support yourself. You can't bear the status of a male favorite at that time, and I also think that such a life is indeed too wronged for you."

After finishing speaking, Xin Ruoyuan smiled lightly, brows and eyes were bright red.Suddenly with strong intentions, suddenly with timidity, "At that time, I admired you more than I was curious, and I would be even more happy to tell you a confidant. But it's a pity that I met Prince Jing at the same time. For you, in the end, he was the one who took the lead."

Listening to him talk about the past, Duan Shaohua lingered in his heart, it could be said that the time was not in dire straits, the few appearances of Xin Ruoyuan was a touch of coolness in the scorching heat.

The tip of his tongue was a bit bitter, Duan Shaohua already felt cold, "But now I..." He couldn't say it, he told himself thousands of times that he couldn't regret it, but at this moment he really felt unbearable.

However, Xin Ruoyuan said: "Life is short for dozens of years, and it is not easy to find a few years of happiness. If there is a loss, there is a gain. In the future, don't worry about those things, I will accompany you. Those, all It's over, it doesn't matter anymore." Xin Ruoyuan tried his best to comfort her, with a rather shy look.

His gentle words are like candlelight at night, like sparks and candles, and even more like sending charcoal in the snow.

Duan Shaohua looked at the person in front of him, and he still couldn't believe it, as if he was in the clouds.

Life is short, this sentence sticks in my heart.Duan Shaohua meditated on the past, it was as difficult as a nightmare, as painful as coptis, he really couldn't bear it any longer.

And then, Xin Ruoyuan shook his hand again, "But you and I have finally arrived today, it can be seen that fate is destined. I don't feel bitter, so don't worry about it."

If he was so serious, Duan Shaohua was also filled with emotion. He held the temperature in his palm back, "Actually, I have long regarded you as a confidant. You have always saved me from danger when I went around like this. I came out of Prince Jing's mansion." Yes, and... I already know that I can't be a man in this life. If you really don't dislike me..."

Before Duan Shaohua could finish his words, Xin Ruoyuan hugged him firmly by the shoulder, full of joy, "You, you agree."

"Life is short." Duan Shaohua imitated his words and said, "As long as you don't let me alone."

"No, no." Xin Ruoyuan's warmth got closer and closer, wrapped Duan Shaohua tightly in his arms, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, when I finish the matter in the capital, we can set off and leave." Prince Jing's Mansion is far away."

Xin Ruoyuan, who used to only talk about poetry, kept talking about other things, more about his thoughts about the future.His voice is like fine wine just out of the cellar, soft and pure, flowing in the ears, intoxicating.Duan Shaohua rested his head on his shoulder, listening to the splendor he depicted, he fell asleep unknowingly.

There were no more nightmares that night, and the bloody dreams never appeared again, and it was the first time that she slept so soundly after leaving Prince Jing's mansion.

When he woke up the next day, Duan Shaohua took a dim look, and found that he was still sitting, and both Xin Ruoyuan and Xin Ruoyuan were still in the posture they had last night.

He moved uncomfortably, and found that he was still leaning on Xin Ruoyuan's shoulder.

Duan Shaohua woke up instantly, the cloak on his body immediately slipped off, and Xin Ruoyuan also woke up.

He wasn't awake yet, seeing Duan Shaohua clearly, he grinned again, retracted his hands and said, "Tonight, my hands are numb."

When Xin Ruoyuan said this, Duan Shaohua felt even more embarrassed, "I fell asleep last night for some reason, and you didn't wake me up, which made you suffer."

Seeing that Xin Ruoyuan didn't seem to be suffering at all, he just blinked at him, "If I wake you up, I won't be so close."

Speaking of which, last night was indeed their first time getting close.

As Xin Ruoyuan said, there was joy in his eyes, as well as some expectations.In Duan Shaohua's eyes, his straightforwardness made his chest jump violently.

There is really one person in the world who will be happy and sad because of him.
