whale wave

Chapter 34

Huang Yanyan quietly stood in front of the window, peeping at the people in the alley. The person talking to his father was a middle-aged official dressed as a swallow, and beside the official stood a young man with a strong bamboo, he was wearing a Pure white shirt, dark green silk sash around the waist, made of sapphire sash, ordinary Confucian dress, but he is the only one who wears the shirt so nicely, the corners are neat and neat, neat and easy.

Zhao Yousheng, in Huang Yanyan's opinion, among the many eldest sons, he is the most outstanding, heroic, free and unrestrained.

He seemed to be aware of the gaze from above, and raised his face slightly. Huang Yanyan stared obsessively at the handsome outline formed by his brows and cheeks, and suddenly her four eyes met. She blushed, took a small step back and hid herself behind the window.

When Huang Yanyan met Zhao Yousheng for the first time, both of them were children. Zhao's father took Yousheng to visit Huang's house, and Huang Meishan entertained friends.Huang Yanyan was six years old at the time. She heard that the visitor was a friend of her father. She secretly hid behind the door to see the visitor. She saw a heroic man and a naughty boy.

The father called Huang Yanyan and her elder brother out to meet the guests. Under the introduction of the fathers on both sides, Huang Yanyan saluted the boy, but the boy was arrogant and indifferent.

The first impression was bad, because it was too bad, but it also remembered such a person.

Later, Zhao Yousheng began to study in Zongxue, Huang Yanyan received education at home, and the two gradually grew up.Whenever Zhao Yousheng walked by the door of his house, Huang Yanyan would pay attention to him. He was taller than his peers, had a fierce personality, and often fought with others.

Once, Zhao Yousheng fought with several other eldest sons behind Professor Huang's house, one against two, which made Huang Yanyan frightened, but even so, he didn't suffer, on the contrary, he taught the whole street the most attractive Zhao Jidao hated the wicked boy, beat Zhao Jidao until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he didn't dare to do it again.

Zhao Jidao often bullied children who were younger than him or who were alone in the alley, and Huang Yanyan saw him many times through the window.She hated the wicked boy, and was glad to see him being taught a lesson.

Zhao Yousheng rescued a dying puppy from Zhao Jidao and his companions. He held the puppy in his arms, and the puppy barked fiercely. The brown hair on its body was stained with red blood. It was injured by stones.Zhao Yousheng looked at the pup's injury, he patted the dog's head, the pup's barking gradually became quieter, and it made a pitiful whining sound.

Zhao Yousheng returned the puppy to a crying boy with a round face, and said proudly with his hands on his hips: "If they dare to bully you or your dog again, I will beat them to death!"

Zhao Zhuangdie hugged his pup with tears all over his face, smiled through his tears, and nodded vigorously.

I don't know when, Zhao Yousheng became a person in Huang Yanyan's heart, a person she fell in love with.Watching his figure secretly walking through the alley, going in and out of Zongxue, was the happiest time of day for her.She saw him grow from a half-grown naughty child into a handsome young man, and she had already secretly agreed with her.

She didn't want to see Zhao Yousheng's figure no longer appearing outside her house one day, and Huang Yanyan was very disappointed. Later, she learned from her father that Zhao Yousheng was imprisoned by Professor Zongxue because of Chen Chengjie's son Chen Yu.

Huang Yanyan had seen Chen Yu, he often went to Zhao Yousheng's house, and would pass by her house every time, she had observed him from the window several times, and had heard that he was the son of a shark girl.

Huang Yanyan has read a lot of books. She knows that the sharks live in the South China Sea, and also knows that the Chen family is a sea merchant and owns a huge ship that can carry hundreds of people.

Although Huang Yanyan had never met all the boys in the west of the city, and it was impossible, she felt that Chen Yu should be the most beautiful boy in the west of the city.She doesn't like men who are too handsome, she likes a man who stands tall and stands tall.

Huang Yanyan stood by the window every day, hoping to see Zhao Yousheng again, until now, he came back.

Her hands trembled slightly because of excitement and joy. She always felt that they were destined, because her father and Zhao Guanren had been friends for many years, and because she came from a scholarly family, and her father was famous, the two families might marry.

Zhao Youcheng easily noticed the gaze cast from upstairs. He raised his head, but he didn't intend to look at Huang Yanyan in the window, but at the dead leaves flying down in the air, not wanting to meet the other's eyes.

In autumn, the fallen leaves of Gulian Temple flew down in all directions, and what fell on Zhao Yousheng's palm was a withered yellow ginkgo leaf.

Father Zhao exchanged pleasantries with Professor Huang, and then they said goodbye. When they left, Zhao Yousheng saluted Professor Huang.

How could Father Zhao not know that his son was outstanding in appearance and had a shadow of himself back then. Back then, he was also the man in the girl's dream.

The father and son were still in the middle of the road, and someone had gone to Zhao's house to report. Mother Zhao and her youngest son waited eagerly at the door of the house.

When Zhao's father returned to Quancheng, a group of his old friends from the same clan would naturally come to visit, and Zhao Yousheng also had many friends in Quancheng.

It was not until night that the Zhao family was quiet.

Wu Xin lit a lantern and hung it at the gate of the courtyard. Seeing Chen Yu coming quietly with his entourage, Wu Xin hurriedly invited them to the house.On this day, Duanhe and Zhuang Die all visited, and Wu Xin heard Zhao's mother mention why Xiaoyu didn't come over.

At this time, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were in the room, Zhao Yousheng was in the attic, Wu Chu carried a lantern, and led Chen Yu up the wooden ladder leading to the attic.

There was a voice outside, and the wooden ladder thumped, Lao Zhao asked in the room, "Who is here?"

Wu Xin in the courtyard said: "Back to Mr. Zhao, it is Chen Chengjie's youngest son who came to see Mr. Lang."

Zhao's mother was sitting on the bed arranging Zhao's father's clothes, turned her head and smiled at Zhao's father: "So it's Xiaoyu, why don't you see him today."

Old Zhao put down the book in his hand, walked to the window, only saw Chen Yu's back, and his figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.In Zhao's father's impression, Chen Yu was a shy child with delicate features and a gentle personality, who was very close to his son.

Although he was born in a businessman, his father, Chen Duanli, was a decent man and loyal to the court, unlike ordinary businessmen. Therefore, Zhao's father did not actually stop the two children from communicating.

Chen Yu didn't know that Zhao's father was watching him by the window, otherwise he would be overwhelmed with nervousness. Speaking of which, Zhao's father had never beaten him or scolded him, but he was still very afraid.

I chose to come here at night, because I know that there are many guests in Zhao's house during the day, and at night, I might not have to meet Father Zhao.

At this time, Chen Yu was overjoyed, and he was eager to see Zhao Yousheng.

Ah Left finally came back to Spring City and went home!Go back through two alleys and across a street, and you will see him.

It was windy in the attic in autumn, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and there was candlelight shining through. Wu Chu knocked on the door, and Chen Yu whispered outside the door, "Ah Leftover, it's me."

Soon Zhao Yousheng opened the door and stood in front of Chen Yu, the light shone on Chen Yu's face, and Chen Yu smiled at him.Zhao Yousheng had just washed his hair, and his hair was draped over his shoulders. It was not often that he was seen with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes.

Chen Yu looked at You Sheng, and also at the room behind him. There were bed cabinets, desks, candles and open books on the desks. Apparently, A Leftover would live in the attic and live alone in the future.

"Xiao Yu, come in, why are you here so late?"

With a tired face and a smile on his face, Zhao Yousheng invited Chen Yu into the room.

"I know there must be many people in the daytime." Chen Yu wanted to be alone with Zhao Yousheng, he smiled slightly.

Entering the room, Chen Yu took off the hood and robe that he was wearing, and Zhao Yousheng took them casually and hung them on the hanger. The movements were very natural, and neither of them paid attention to it. This is what a servant should do.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Wu Chu closed the door and went downstairs.

Chen Yu looked around. The attic was fully furnished and tidy up comfortably. He asked, "Ah Leftover, do you want to live in it in the future?"

"It's quiet upstairs, just reading." Zhao Yousheng sat in front of the desk and motioned for Chen Yu to sit down.

Chen Yu sat down opposite Zhao Yousheng. He looked at the wooden bed placed in the corner. This bed was still Youcheng's original bed, but it seemed much narrower for some reason.

He didn't think about it, in a year, both of them grew taller.

Chen Yu lowered his head to look at the books spread out on the desk. They were not miscellaneous books, but books of sages. He looked up at the bookshelf on one side, and the books on the shelf were also serious books.

This is all superficial work done by Yu Sheng, his pile of miscellaneous books are still in the bookcase.

"Xiao Yu, it's so late, who brought you here?"

"It's Shichang."

Qi Shichang was waiting in the courtyard at this time, the Zhao family was related to the emperor, Chen Yu's father was an official, and he was just a commoner, without permission, no one could enter the Zhao residence.

Zhao Youcheng got up, pushed open a window, and saw a figure sitting in the courtyard, and the other person looked up and saw him too.

The wind entered the attic, and the candlelight flickered. Chen Yu hurriedly stretched out his hands to block the wind and protect the candlelight. Zhao Youcheng closed the window before he let go.

"Are you still going to Zongxue to study?"

"No need to go, prepare for the future scientific examination at home."

Chen Yu was taken aback, he never seemed to have thought that Zhao Yousheng was going to be an official outside, if the eldest son enters the official career through the eldest son, the selection conditions are looser, so it is not difficult to pass the test.

Chen Yu looked blank, under the candlelight, his brows and eyes were stained with melancholy.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, since the last time he said goodbye in Nanxi, the number of letters written by You Sheng to him decreased, and the two seemed to be no longer so close.

Seeing You Sheng tonight, being alone in the room with him doesn't seem to have the atmosphere of intimacy in the future. He didn't know what he was expecting, but he looked at You Sheng who was standing by the window with his back to him, half body covered in the darkness. , he felt a sense of alienation.

He dressed up tonight, dressed like a prince and grandson, and walked at night in brocade clothes, just to visit friends.

Chen Yu's actions, which he couldn't figure out, were only for meeting one person.

Zhao Yousheng naturally discovered that Chen Yu came to see him in full attire, and his eyes fell on the gold pendant hanging on his chest. The richness of the family is enough to live like a king and grandson. As long as he avoids the accidents of his previous life, which caused Chen Duanli to be killed and his family to decline, Chen Yu is enough to live a worry-free life.

Zhao Youcheng walked out of the shadows, picked up the scattered books on the bed, and put them into the bookcase. He turned around and saw Chen Yu beside him, with his head down, holding a book in his hand, as if he wanted to hand it to him. He seemed to be hesitating again, Chen Yu turned his back to the light, quietly, looking very lonely, he was obviously full of joy when he came.

Zhao Yousheng took the book from Chen Yu's hand, and his words were involuntary and very gentle: "It's not so fast to take the exam, and besides, some people still fail the exam when they are five or sixty years old."

"Ah Leftover will definitely pass the exam." There was a smile in Chen Yu's words, because You Sheng said that he would not take the exam so soon, and he immediately stopped being depressed.

During the conversation between the two, Ah Xiang knocked on the door outside, saying that the mistress asked her to bring Yuanzi Tang, and it was cold in the autumn night, and she wanted to keep Chen Yu warm from the cold.Zhao Yousheng opened the door, and Ah Xiang came in with hot soup. When she saw Chen Yu, she laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao Lang came so late, eat a few sweet balls to warm up."

Ah Xiang treats Chen Yu with kindness and smiles.

Chen Yu took a bowl of glutinous rice balls and said, "Thank you, Sister Axiang."

A Xiang left, and there were only two people left in the room, Chen Yu ate the glutinous rice balls, Zhao Yousheng watched him eat, but his own bowl did not move, he doesn't like sweets.

The sweet glutinous rice balls stuffed with sesame seeds, Chen Yu may feel tired in the past, but tonight it tastes especially delicious, full of sweetness.

Seeing that the corner of Chen Yu's mouth was stained with sesame seeds, Zhao Yousheng took out his cotton handkerchief and handed it over. Chen Yu was puzzled, Zhao Yousheng rubbed the corner of his mouth with his thumb to signal.

Attracted by his movements, Chen Yu's eyes fell on You Cheng's lips, which were two beautiful lips. Chen Yu was holding a bowl in one hand and a golden spoon in the other, looking dumbfounded.

A soft cotton towel wiped the corner of Chen Yu's mouth, and Chen Yu's eyes suddenly widened. He saw Zhao Yousheng take back the handkerchief calmly.

Ah Left wiped his mouth for himself.

"It's not easy to walk at night. After eating this bowl of glutinous rice balls, you should go back earlier." Zhao Yousheng added, "I'm in Quancheng now, so it's easy to meet in the future."

There were still three glutinous rice balls in Chen Yu's bowl, and he decided to finish them slowly. While eating, he looked at You Sheng and laughed, but You Sheng had to pick up a book and pretended to be reading, so as not to look at Chen Yu's smiling face .

After finishing a bowl of glutinous rice balls, Chen Yu put the empty tea bowl on the table and got up to say goodbye: "Ah Leftover has had a hard journey, rest early."

Zhao Yousheng went to fetch Chen Yu's windbreaker and hood. He personally helped Chen Yu put on the windbreaker and put on the hood for him, and his movements were quite skillful.Zhao Yousheng tied the belt of the wind robe, touched Chen Yu's collar with his fingers, and inadvertently touched his neck exposed outside the collar, his skin was delicate, and his fingertips were warm.

There were no servants in the attic, and no one else helped Chen Yu put on the windbreaker and tie the hood. This process was natural, and Zhao Yousheng had actually done it before.

"Ah Leftover, I'm going back."

"Be careful on the road, Wu Chu, take Xiaoyu home." Zhao Yousheng opened the door and shouted downstairs.After the words were finished, Wu Chu came over with a lamp, followed by Qi Shichang, and the two stood at the stairs and waited.

Zhao Yousheng sent Chen Yu downstairs and came to the courtyard. Qi Shichang came to say hello to Zhao Yousheng. He has lived in the city for a long time and is very familiar with etiquette.

Qi Shichang escorted Chen Yu away, and Wu Chu carried a lamp to light the way.

Zhao Yousheng stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching their lights go away, and Chen Yu gradually disappeared into the night.

"Little official, come in quickly, it's windy outside." Wu Xin closed the courtyard door.

Zhao Yousheng returned to the attic and walked along the wooden ladder, seemingly in a good mood.He came to the door, opened the door, the night wind suddenly poured into the room, the candle on the desk was extinguished, and it was pitch black.

"Axiang, light the lamp." Zhao Yousheng called out.

After a while, a slender girl came up, carefully protecting a candle with her sleeve, it was Ah Jin.Ah Jin lit the extinguished candles in the attic, and timidly glanced at Zhao Youcheng in the dark corner, she felt the coldness on this man.

She was a little curious about this gentleman who had just returned home, but she had met him today, and felt that he was fierce and a bit scary.After lighting the lamp, she asked in a low voice if she had any other orders, and Zhao Yousheng signaled her to go out, and she exited the attic awkwardly, and left in a hurry, relieved.

The author has something to say: Director: I didn't see it, I thought you had made some great determination in Nanxi Chen's house.

You Sheng (Smoke): Take a good shot, it needs to be sweet.

Director: Yes, boss.
