old friend wine

Shen Ci has been tortured in fear for the past few days. After he was released from prison, he lay on the bed to recover from his injuries. As soon as his tense spirit relaxed, exhaustion hit him overwhelmingly. He slept for more than ten hours in a row regardless of day and night. Shen Che was so sleepy that he started to be afraid, and would sniff him lightly every half an hour with a nervous expression on his face.

Yu Shi was sitting at the table peeling pears. The four-inch-long knife was flying in his slender but pale hands as nimbly as a butterfly. In a short while, a round pear was peeled, and the thin peel fell on the table without interruption. .Yu Shi handed the pear to Shen Che, shook his head helplessly and smiled, "He's just too tired, you don't have to be afraid."

"Why don't you wake up?" Shen Che took a bite of the pear absently, and the sweet pear juice overflowed his lips and teeth in an instant, making him even more unhappy, "Brother has been sleeping, and he hasn't eaten or drank for so long, what should he do?" Thirsty?"

"...Is he sleeping?" Xu Qinghan's voice came from the unclosed door, he felt guilty, stood by the threshold with his hands down, and spoke cautiously.

Yu Shi and Shen Che greeted each other, and then Shen Che ate pears in a daze, and continued to stare at Shen Ci intently.He was wronged and angry for his brother, and he simply didn't want to talk to Xu Qinghan who had hurt his brother.

"Yeah, I haven't woken up since I fell asleep." Yu Shi smiled gently, and bowed his hands in a courteous manner, "My lord, please come in."

Perhaps Xu Qinghan's voice touched Shen Ci, who was deeply in a dream, and he frowned when Xu Qinghan just sat on the bedside and woke up slowly.

Seeing his lashes fluttering and slowly opening his eyes, Xu Qinghan lifted his spirits and bent down to call him, "A Ci?"

Shen Ci murmured and opened his eyes in a daze for a moment, then turned his head, waved his arms and gritted his teeth, "Get lost!"

Xu Qinghan was sad.

"Little Che, go to the kitchen and make a bowl of lean meat porridge, aren't you afraid that your brother will be hungry?" Yu Shi dismissed Shen Che calmly, and then walked out the door himself.

Xu Qinghan said persistently, "Ah Ci, I..."

Shen Ci didn't let him have a chance to speak at all, "I don't want to hear your fart!"

"I……"

"Are you fucking deaf?!"

Xu Qinghan took a deep breath, pursed his lips and knelt on the side of the bed, taking advantage of Shen Ci's stunned moment, lowered his head and said as concisely as possible, "A Ci, I was wrong, I shouldn't doubt you, I shouldn't wrong you, I shouldn't beat you , I dare not beg you to forgive me, but can you...give me a chance to make up for my mistakes?" The prince, who is usually high above him, kneels pitifully on the bedside, with the dark circles under his eyes from a sleepless night, Looking up at Shen Ci beggingly.

"No." Shen Ci remained unmoved, and said indifferently, "Xu Qinghan, I gave you the opportunity. As I said, there won't be a third time."

Xu Qinghan stretched out his hand, hesitated again and again but still did not dare to touch Shen Ci, grabbed the corner of the quilt and twirled his fingers, "A Ci, trust me again, I will treat you well in the future, I really know I was wrong, don't go away... ..."

"You said the same thing last time. I believed it. Then, in less than two months, I was beaten countless times. I knelt on the car floor, slept in the woodshed, and lived in the dungeon." Shen Ci said coldly, " If I believe you again, I'm a fool."

"A Ci, I'm so afraid of losing you. Even though you are by my side every day now, I still feel unreal. You haven't heard from me for three years since you left, and I dream of you coming back to me almost every night. As a result, After waking up from the dream, I was left alone—I was afraid that I was still dreaming." Xu Qinghan bent down and buried his face in the quilt, and said in a trembling voice, "After you returned to the palace, forget about the past and never mention my love for you. No, but you are like this to everyone. You don’t hold grudges against anyone. I am no different from other people. I am anxious every day, thinking about whether my A Ci loves me or not, will it Meet someone you like better, who can treat you differently."

Xu Qinghan sucked his nose through the quilt, and when he spoke again, his nasal voice was thick, "I don't have confidence in myself, Ah Ci is so good, I am not as good as you in everything, so when encountering such a thing, no matter how much I think about it, I want to believe you, but I can't help but panic and do wrong things that hurt you."

Shen Ci's ten fingers were tightly wrapped in gauze, and they were temporarily used as decorations. He put his wrists together and clamped the corner of the quilt, and while pulling back, he muttered, "If you want to talk, just talk, don't talk I smeared my nose on the quilt, and I still have to cover it."

Xu Qinghan hugged the quilt and did not let go, pleading with his head down, "A Ci, please, don't leave me, I really don't know how I got here in those three years, please don't make me suffer so much, okay?"

"Why should I accommodate you, just based on your love for me? You hurt me because you love me, bullshit logic, I can't bear it." Shen Ci said lazily, "The three years I left you I live a good life, no one gives me face, I don't have to bow down all day long when I see everyone, I don't have to kneel down to call the master, I don't have to worry about being punished for mistakes, and I don't miss you at all. I don't deny that I used to like you very, very much, Even the old love that has been extinguished for the past two months has started to spark little sparks, and as a result, you pour a pot of cold water on your head and there are no sparks left."

He said seriously, "My lord, I have accommodated you for so many years, and you will accommodate me once."

These words are really hurtful, Xu Qinghan leaned against the edge of the bed and knelt down on his calf, his pale thin lips slowly opened and closed, and struggled unwillingly, "Give me a little more time, give me one more chance, I...you You will love me again, let’s start all over again, I will pursue you again.”

Shen Ci said without hesitation, "I don't like you at all now, so I refuse your pursuit. My wife and children are still waiting for me to go home, so don't get in the way."

It happened that Shen Che brought lean meat porridge, and the door was open, so he stood still ten steps away from the door, at a distance where he couldn't see anything, "My lord, brother, can I come in?"

Xu Qinghan hastily raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, stood up while supporting the bed, "Come in."

"It's a bit hot just out of the pot, brother wait for it to cool before eating." Shen Che put the tray containing porridge and pickles on the table.

Shen Ci asked him, "I'll be back outside the customs in ten days, will you come with me?"

"Of course, I'll go wherever my brother goes." Shen Che rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "I'll go pack my luggage!"

"Shen Che can't leave." Xu Qinghan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "The contract hasn't expired yet, it was signed for five years, and there are still nearly two years left."

"Ah?" Shen Che lowered his head listlessly, and whispered in a disappointed voice, "Then...then brother, you can go, I will serve the prince in the palace for another two years."

Xu Qinghan stared at Shen Che speechlessly. Didn't this kid always want to stay by Shen Ci's side? Two months ago, he was so excited that he found out about Shen Ci's whereabouts that he couldn't sleep. Now why doesn't he follow his wishes? What about leaving Shen Ci?

"My lord, don't expect Shen Che to help you keep me." Shen Ci saw his thoughts clearly, "He has witnessed how miserable I am, and he already regrets asking me to come back. You might as well help people to the end and send Buddha Send it to the west, and release Shen Che to me, so that he won't miss me when he is in Cao Ying and in Han Zong."

"No." Xu Qinghan flatly refused. If he couldn't keep Shen Ci, he could always keep Shen Che. Only by keeping his brother by his side would he feel at ease, at least he could keep in touch and know his movements, and look for opportunities to bring him back to his side .

"Forget it, if you insist on keeping him, I won't take him away no matter what. But Xu Qinghan, listen carefully, if my brother makes any mistakes in the palace, I will definitely settle with you!"
