This shadow guard is kinda nice

Chapter 97 I Raise You

Xiao Yichen came early the next day, when he came in through the window, the hall was empty, he sat down at the table casually, and did not go outside.

The voices of Chu Jiuxiao and Zhuo Yuan's conversation came into his ears very clearly. He didn't intend to listen to what the two said, but his hearing was so good that he couldn't hear it if he didn't want to.

Chu Jiuxiao was talking, suddenly paused, bent his lips, and then continued to give Zhuo Yuan instructions.

Zhuo Yuan was startled for no reason, His Highness's obedient and sweet smile almost blinded his eyes, what was wrong with him, the number of times he laughed recently almost caught up with the sum of the past few years .

Could it be that I really have...a sweetheart?

Zhuo Yuan was even more horrified, what kind of stunning beauty could fall into the eyes of His Highness...

"Are you listening?" Chu Jiuxiao said coolly, Zhuo Yuan's face was full of expressions, and he always looked at him with horror, obviously he was not listening to himself.

Zhuo Yuan was shocked, he kept nodding, and blurted out, "Your Highness, this servant has been listening, but without your order, this servant should not approach here, if you have nothing to do, go to bed early, and don't worry about your affairs."

Tossing and turning, he could tell him [-] times in one morning, and Zhuo Yuan could recite them fluently if he didn't listen.

Chu Jiuxiao nodded, "That's fine, you go out."

Zhuo Yuan saluted and ran away as if he had received an amnesty.

After Chu Jiuxiao and the others ran away, they clapped their hands and went into the inner room, where Xiao Yichen was sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Why did you come so early today?" Chu Jiuxiao smiled, unconsciously clenched the hand by his side, and sat down opposite Xiao Yichen.

He almost blurted out "Master" just now, he really got used to it for too long, since he recovered most of his memory from yesterday, he wanted to call him "Master" in an open and honest manner, but he couldn't.

As soon as you call, you will reveal your secrets.

Xiao Yichen put down his teacup, looked at him with a half-smile, and asked back: "Want me to come tonight?"

Chu Jiuxiao turned his head unnaturally, the teasing meaning in these words was too obvious, it was difficult for him to control himself not to think about something.

For example, that night, when he was pressing on him, he had a wild and dangerous look in his eyes, and while he was startled, he inevitably fell into it.

"That's not what I meant." Chu Jiuxiao whispered.

"Then what do you mean?" Xiao Yichen propped his chin, "Let's think about it, you don't want me to come in the morning, and you don't want me to come at night, that means you don't want me to come."

Chu Jiuxiao turned around immediately, obviously being teased anxiously, "I didn't mean that, you can come anytime."

The voice became smaller and smaller, seeing Xiao Yichen's eyes full of smiles, Chu Jiuxiao wished he could get into the cracks in the ground, it was too embarrassing to say such words...

Xiao Yichen finally couldn't hold back anymore, he laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, I didn't want to stay with you for a while, so I came early."

Chu Jiuxiao lowered his eyes and nodded, his loud laughter seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

"Have you changed your medicine?" Xiao Yichen stopped teasing, and asked about the injury on his arm.

Chu Jiuxiao breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Xiao Yichen would continue to talk, and his face would turn red again.

"It's changed, not long ago."

Xiao Yichen nodded, and he said, "Come here."

The tone of order was natural, and Xiao Yichen was stunned when he said these words. The two of them got along too well, and he always mistook Chu Jiuxiao, who had not recovered his memory, for Mo Ran.

Chu Jiuxiao didn't feel anything, he walked to Xiao Yichen's side, squatted down, and looked up at him.

Xiao Yichen could hardly control his expression, this movement and expression was indistinguishable from Mo Ran's, he almost wanted to say "You...remember?"

"What's the matter?" Chu Jiuxiao sensed that his expression was not right, so he got up and asked him with concern.

Xiao Yichen came back to his senses, he glanced at Chu Jiuxiao again, shook his head and said it was all right.

Maybe he was thinking too much again, if Mo Ran had already remembered, he would not have told him.

Exhaling, Xiao Yichen took Chu Jiuxiao's hand, made him sit next to him, rolled up his sleeves, and felt relieved when he saw that there was no blood on the bandage.

Chu Jiuxiao smiled brightly at him, "I said it's nothing, it's just a minor injury. In the past, there was no need to wear such an obstructive bandage."

Xiao Yichen's heart moved, he stared at Chu Jiuxiao's face, and asked casually, "You used to... always get hurt?"

Chu Jiuxiao's body stiffened for a moment, and he was proud of it for a moment, so he said the words without thinking.Chu Jiuxiao's identity is there, and Chu Yunhe has been taking care of him under his nose, so where there is any chance of getting hurt, there are always big and small injuries, and it is Mo Ran.

He laughed a couple of times, his brain was running fast, and he wanted to round up the words: "Yeah, when I just woke up, the injury was much worse than this, such a shallow stroke is nothing at all."

Sure enough, Xiao Yichen no longer looked at him with scrutiny, but with distress.

Chu Jiuxiao immediately regretted it again. He shouldn't have brought up the injury five years ago, which made Xiao Yichen feel distressed again.

"Are you blaming me? It's because I let you..." After a long time, Xiao Yichen said softly. It was five years late. Now, he can finally say it in front of Mo Ran, but he was caught before he finished speaking. Chu Jiuxiao interrupted.

Chu Jiuxiao closed his eyes, and pressed his lips against Xiao Yichen's, but it was limited to this, he would only come here, and he didn't know what to do with the rest.

Xiao Yichen's eyes widened slightly, and all the words he was about to say were blocked back.He felt the softness on his lips, and his heart was so soft.

Chu Jiuxiao backed away, facing Xiao Yichen's fiery gaze, "You don't need to blame yourself, really, no one can control the final direction of the matter, I think Mo Ran will not blame you, no matter what the final result is. "

After he didn't remember it, his memory was broken when his master asked him to follow King Cheng back to Jinling. He didn't know what happened after that, and how he fell off the cliff. Since he lost his past memory, the only thing he knew was No matter what Xiao Yichen did, he would never blame him.

If he hadn't surrendered his loyalty and life, surrendered to him, and called him master, he would never let Xiao Yichen do anything to him, nor would he give him a chance to blame him.

But he gave it early in the morning, so now I am only willing.

Besides, Xiao Yichen didn't do anything to be sorry for himself, so why would he have any reason to blame him.

Some things lingering in Xiao Yichen's heart finally dissipated, he smiled, pinched the back of his head, and continued the shallow kiss just now.

When the sun was not so strong, Chu Jiuxiao said that he wanted to go outside today, Xiao Yichen disagreed at first, and told him to take care of his wounds, and talk about it tomorrow, but Chu Jiuxiao insisted that he was fine, and after repeated pleadings, Xiao Yichen read it carefully His arm, after confirming that there was really nothing wrong, agreed to him.

The two left the palace, of course, over the wall.When the majestic palace wall gradually receded, Xiao Yichen turned his head and asked the people around him, "How does it feel to walk over the wall while walking in your own palace?"

"It's quite fresh." Although Chu Jiuxiao did things like overcoming people's walls in the past, it was the first time in the past five years.

He suddenly thought of the day when they met again. In the middle of the night, the master appeared in front of him in such an eye-catching white clothes. He still remembered that when they were in Pingyao, one night, he came to find him wearing night clothes, and he was in a daze. Yes, he changed into his night clothes and was about to walk through the main entrance, and he also told himself.

Chu Jiuxiao couldn't help laughing. Now, which of the two of them is more arrogant?

Xiao Yichen saw his smile from the side, shook his head and couldn't help but laugh, he stayed in the palace for a long time, but once he came out he was like a child, fresh and happy.

Chu Jiuxiao didn't know that he regarded himself as a child, so she turned her head and asked him, "Where can we go to buy gifts for Brother Huang later?"

Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand and lightly tapped Chu Jiuxiao's forehead, "You are in Nanchu, do you have the nerve to ask me who came from a big beam?"

"If I wanted to ask you, I just asked, I didn't think so much." Chu Jiuxiao said pretending to be wronged.

Xiao Yichen didn't turn his head to look at him, but reached out and took Chu Jiuxiao's hand by his side.Chu Jiuxiao was stunned for a moment, Xiao Yichen kept walking, turned his head and glanced at him with a smile, as if expecting something.

Chu Jiuxiao understood, he hooked his lips, slowly stretched his five fingers, and the two interlocked.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky red, and people came and went on the long street, but no one noticed the tightly interlocking fingers of the two hidden under the cuffs.

Xiao Yichen took people to the north of the city. The store where he bought jade for Chu Jiuxiao last time, the shopkeeper was still impressed with him. The noble-looking young man bought jade and wanted to make it into a hairpin by himself. He didn't want him to have It's hard to impress.

"Young master, are you here?"

Xiao Yichen nodded, and he said to the people around him: "Go and follow the shopkeeper to see if there is anything your brother likes."

Chu Jiuxiao nodded, and the shopkeeper smiled at Xiao Yichen, and then led Chu Jiuxiao to look at the various jade wares in his shop.

"My lord," the shopkeeper pointed to the various jade wares in the display cabinet, "These are all new items that have been on the market recently. Take a look, my lord. Is there anything you like?"

Chu Jiuxiao doesn't pay much attention to this kind of things on weekdays, and he doesn't know which kind Chu Yunhe would like, but Xiao Yichen brought him here.

Chu Jiuxiao glanced over roughly, but didn't see a general idea, and he was a little dazzled, he couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Yichen, saw that he was bending over to look at something, so he swallowed and wanted him Come and have a look.

The shopkeeper is like a human being, he couldn't miss the look in the eyes of the boy in black looking at the boy in white, and as soon as he entered the door, he noticed that the boy in his hair was polished by the boy in white that day. of hosta.

"My lord," the shopkeeper called out with a smile, Chu Jiuxiao casually hummed without looking at him.

"The hairpin in your hair was bought by that young master in our store that day."

Chu Jiuxiao straightened up, and he looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper pointed to Xiao Yichen over there, and said with a smile: "That young master polished it by himself that day, and he has been busy for most of the day in the backyard."

Hearing this, the smile on Chu Jiuxiao's face never went down, he retracted his gaze from Xiao Yichen, and said to the shopkeeper in a good mood: "Bring the most expensive item in your store, I bought it. "

He shot so boldly, the shopkeeper nodded hastily, "Okay, okay, young master, wait a moment."

The shopkeeper went upstairs, Xiao Yichen walked up to Chu Jiuxiao, and he listened to the conversation between the shopkeeper and Chu Jiuxiao just now.

"Are you so generous?"

Chu Jiuxiao didn't care about what he said, and responded casually. The satisfaction in his heart was almost overflowing. Hearing from others that the person in front of him personally made hairpins for him was not a pleasant feeling, even though he had already been admitted by Xiao Yichen himself. up.

He was about to say something when he heard Xiao Yichen say: "What if I can't afford to support you in the future?"

Hearing this, Chu Jiuxiao thought about it seriously. He looked up at Xiao Yichen, "I'll take care of you from now on." He shook hands with Xiao Yichen and counted the silver taels he had saved over the past few years, plus what Chu Yunhe gave There are too many of them, and he can't use them up at all, "I have a lot of silver taels, don't worry, I won't be unable to support you."

Xiao Yichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his original intention was to make fun of him, but this person took it seriously and told him that he would raise him in the future.

"I was just kidding with you."

Chu Jiuxiao seemed to want to prove to him that he could really support him, and told him about his property in Nanchu and how many houses he had.

While Xiao Yichen was amused, he thought again, it seemed that Chu Yunhe really cared about him, so that he wouldn't make his life in Nanchu uncomfortable.

The shopkeeper also came down from upstairs, and Chu Jiuxiao also stopped his babbling, without even looking at it, he let the shopkeeper wrap it up, paid him the taels of silver, took the things and left with Xiao Yichen.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the two ate a bowl of freshly cooked wontons together at the roadside stall, and then held hands like they did when they came here, and walked back slowly.

Time seemed to slow down, and the summer wind occasionally blew, Chu Jiuxiao squinted his eyes. It would be great if the road was longer. Walk like this for a lifetime.

Be by his side forever...

Something flashed across Chu Jiuxiao's mind, but it was too fast, before he had time to capture it, it disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Yichen bent his lips, he turned around suddenly, and caught Chu Jiuxiao who was peeping.Chu Jiuxiao quickly looked back, coughed twice, and looked straight ahead.

Xiao Yichen couldn't help laughing, he couldn't help but said: "Look at it if you want, look at it openly, don't watch secretly like this."

Chu Jiuxiao's cheeks were hot, as if the cat had been caught stealing the fish, and now his hair was blown all over, pretending to be calm.

"I know my face is pretty, it doesn't matter, you will be the only one who can see it at such a close distance from now on."

Chu Jiuxiao's face turned even redder, and sweat oozed from the palms interlocking with Xiao Yichen's fingers. What...

The red walls and green tiles in the distance, hidden in the night, Xiao Yichen stopped, and Chu Jiuxiao also stopped, the blush on his face had dissipated, Xiao Yichen couldn't hold it back, stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back."

Chu Jiuxiao nodded sullenly, and took the birthday gift for Chu Yunhe from him, "Then I'm leaving."

Xiao Yichen nodded, watching him turn his head three times a step, he was about to reach the edge of the city wall, he turned his head and ran over again.

"I forgot to tell you, my brother asked me to go out to play in a few days," Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, he looked at Chu Jiuxiao's eyes shining like stars in the night, and only heard him say: "Can you... accompany me? ?”

That day, he randomly agreed to Chu Tanxi, but he didn't expect that Zhong Mengze would go with him later on. He had already agreed to Chu Tanxi, so it was hard not to go. Thinking that Xiao Yichen should be fine, he wanted him to accompany him go together.

Xiao Yichen didn't even think about it, just as he wished, he agreed, Chu Jiuxiao laughed instantly, he leaned closer, tiptoed slightly, and kissed Xiao Yichen's side face.

As soon as it was touched, the corners of Chu Jiuxiao's lips were raised, and he blinked, "I'm leaving."

Before Xiao Yichen could react, he ran away with the box in his arms, and his figure disappeared behind the wall.

After a long time, Xiao Yichen lowered his head and smiled.
