Consonance

At night, Ji Ci'an knocked on the door of Qiao's mansion, but there was no answer for a long time, so he had no choice but to wake up the garden repair workers who were sleeping outside, and asked them where Qiao Zhiyan had gone.

"The general hasn't come back since he went out in the morning. Is the prince looking for him?"

"The curfew is coming soon, I'll just wait for him here. Don't worry about me." Ji Ji'an closed the door of Qiao's mansion, walked to Qiao Zhiyan's room with ease, lit the lamp and sat quietly waiting.

----------------

"It's late at night, let's go back." Zhang Qi helped Qiao Zhiyan out of a barn, and said slightly drunk: "Zhiyan, to be honest, the prince is really good to you, why can't you try..."

"I also want to treat him as well as before, but in my heart..." Qiao Zhiyan raised his hand and patted his chest: "I'm pretending to hate here... The lives of more than 100 people in my Qiao family are all on my body..." He had been in the frontier for several months, and whenever he closed his eyes, he saw his father's eyes when he left, "Zhiyan, my father is already old, and the entire Qiao family is tied to you."

If he hadn't gone to the frontier, would his father be able to wait for him to go back at home now? Unfortunately, time flies in this world, so why regret it...

Qiao Zhiyan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and hammered on his chest, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes: "I hate him, but he is the person I have identified all my life, what should I do..."

Zhang Qi patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Maybe there is a misunderstanding between you...don't think too much, just let nature take its course."

Qiao Zhiyan didn't speak any more, and walked back to Qiao's mansion.

In the room, Ji Ci'an fell asleep lying on the table, not aware that Qiao Zhiyan walked in, and covered him with a worn-out coat from the closet.

----------------

"Wake up, Ji Ji'an?" The morning sunlight was scattered by the window lattice, Qiao Zhiyan opened his eyes, and pushed Ji Ji'an, who was still sleeping on the table.

"Huh?" Ji Ji'an opened his eyes in a daze, and heard Qiao Zhiyan ask: "You are not staying in the palace, why are you here?"

"Brother Huang gave me a daughter, do you want to go and have a look?" He stretched his hands and looked at him with bright eyes: "I named her Zanqing, how about it?"

Qiao Zhiyan stood and looked down at him, looking up like Huanhuan who was rewarded in the past. Thinking of this, Qiao Zhiyan smiled, his gentle and gentle look, the coldness disappeared, Ji Ji'an looked at him stupidly, and remained silent for a long time .

"How is Huanhuan?" Qiao Zhiyan looked at him with a smile that hadn't faded away.

Ji Ji'an also laughed, "It didn't take long after you left, and it got better after a while, but now it's a bit older and not as lively as before."

Huanhuan was a puppy that the two of them picked up under the bridge four years ago and kept it at Qiao's house. Later, when something happened, Ji Ji'an brought it into the palace.

"I'm free today, I'll go and have a look at it." Qiao Zhiyan watched him stand up before turning around and walking out of the room. Ji Ci'an took off the big coat on his shoulders, folded it neatly in his arms, and walked out , excitedly, the two went to the palace together.

"Wen Liang, go get ready and bring Huanhuan here." Ji Ci'an couldn't wait to order as soon as he entered the door, Qiao Zhiyan stopped Wen Liang, and said, "Don't bother, I'll go see him."

"That's fine, Wen Liang, bring the hairpin green." Ji Ji'an put away the big tail in his arms properly, and the expression on his face finally looked like a young man, Wen Liang responded with some emotion, and hurriedly ran out.

When they went there, Huanhuan was eating, a bunch of black hair on her head was raised, and when she heard footsteps, she raised her head vigilantly, barked at Qiao Zhiyan, and put on a fighting posture, with a hoo hoo sound coming from her throat, which made her laugh. Qiao Zhiyan couldn't get close.

"Huanhuan, be good, sit down." Ji Ji'an walked over to comfort it: "Look who this is, don't you remember?"

Huanhuan turned a deaf ear to it, and saw Qiao Zhiyan take a step forward, screaming more violently.

"Forget it, I think it's enough for it to live well." Qiao Zhiyan stepped back helplessly, hiding elsewhere to watch it.

Ji Ci'an came over and said, "You will come here often in the future, maybe Huanhuan will be able to think of you."

Qiao Zhiyan sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to forget me after I've been away for a long time."

"It may not be used to it yet, but it will come to mind slowly." Ji Ci'an patted him on the shoulder and turned to look at him.He remembered this person for so many years, and it has become an unforgettable habit, and Huanhuan will never forget him, even... even...
