set of flowers

Hua Qianyu, who listened to the shallow breathing of the boy beside him, closed his eyes for a long time—maybe an hour, or just a cup of tea.

He can't sleep.So he turned over and put his feet down on the bed, but he still turned his head to watch the person lying on his back.

No matter how he thinks about it now, he still can't distinguish whether the abnormal state is because of being frightened, or because of the kiss and the tenderness of the fingertips.

He wanted to deny the latter, uneasy at the touch of his lips that still remained.

Maybe he should go out to get some air, this car full of An Mingxi's breath made him lose his mind, and blasphemous thoughts kept popping up in his mind... He had never felt so miserable.

Stepping outside, he sniffed the cool air, took a breath, and his thoughts seemed to be clearer.He stepped out of the carriage cautiously, the door was open and there was a curtain inside to keep out the wind.

"Son."

Suddenly a male voice came, Hua Qianyu looked at the gate of the house unexpectedly, and saw Dong Qiming walking towards him.Hua Qianyu walked towards him, walked a few steps faster, and raised his index finger in front of his mouth before Dong Taiyuan could speak - An Mingxi was still sleeping.

Hua Qianyu asked softly, "Why don't you sleep?"

Dong Qiming looked troubled, and lowered his voice, "It's Qiming's fault to brush off the kindness of Young Master, but... before departure, Mr. Xiang had ordered that the safety of the two young masters must be guaranteed."

Hua Qianyu sighed: "Even so, you can't stop day and night, what if you fall down one day?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Taiyuan and I exchanged vigils. Tonight happened to be the first half of the night when I bumped into my lord...and went out for a walk." Dong Qiming also couldn't figure out why Hua Qianyu got off the carriage suddenly.

Hua Qianyu waved his hand: "Forget it... the next day you will teach Le Yang and Li You how to drive a car, and you can rest during the day." Dong Taiyuan and Dong Qiming still have to hand over the task of vigil, Yang is too careless, Le Liyou can't fight.

"Yes."

Hua Qianyu patted him on the shoulder: "Pay attention to your body."

"Yes!"

Hua Qianyu thought of his father and brother who had arguing over the shape of the carriage and almost quarreled.

My father thinks that when traveling far away, one should keep a low profile, as being too ostentatious is easy to be targeted by thieves, which increases the risk of traveling; however, the elder brother thinks that there are risks, and saving money from danger is also a kind of experience... At the end of the dispute, they handed over the choice to Hua Qianyu .Hua Qianyu chose comfort on the grounds that the fourth prince was delicate.

——Nowadays, it seems that Hua Jueming is still worried.

Imagining that Hua Jueming kept telling the two guards not to let his youngest son behave like a fool, Hua Qianyu couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth—he really made his father worry a lot.What's more, looking at the seclusion of this place, under the night, in the depths of the forest where even the trees are stained black, there are still huge beasts haunting, if you don't pay attention, you will be eaten to pieces.

After all, it is in the wild, and there is no more order here than in the city. With such a canopy, it is indeed easy to become the target of mountain bandits.

Hua Qianyu thought that if he traveled for only two days, he thought that the rest of the trip would be the same as the two days, and there would be no worries.It's so easy to let his guard down, no wonder Dad can't let go.

Hua Qianyu turned his back and said: "You continue to be on duty. If there is an accident, don't be afraid to wake me up. If your thoughts contradict my instructions in the future, you must explain your thoughts and let me weigh them. Don't act behind my back anymore. Understand?"

"Yes!"

"Hush—" Hua Qianyu put his finger in front of his mouth again, "Don't disturb my brother's sleep if it is not necessary."

"Yes." Dong Qiming responded in a low voice.He asked again: "Is the young master not sleeping?"

"I'll go."

"Yes - it's late at night, young master, don't go too far."

"will not."

Hua Qianyu also wanted to leisurely pace under the moon, but as if he was worried that he would fall into a trap, even if he was just walking around the carriage, Dong Qiming locked his eyes tightly on his figure.His scalp was numb from the gaze, and he came out to relax, but now he felt like he was being watched—he couldn't blame Dong Qiming, after all, it was boring to keep watch all by himself, and there was always something to do when he didn't have enough sleep. Something to improve concentration, not to mention his personal safety is Dong Qiming's responsibility.

Hua Qianyu sighed, but chose to go back to the house.

He tiptoed, trying not to let the wooden board he stepped on make a sound, but when he lifted his other foot, the heavy wooden board suddenly made a "squeak", which was very clear in the quiet night.He lifted the curtain and saw that An Mingxi was still sleeping peacefully, so he was relieved.It's just that An Mingxi, who originally had a well-behaved sleeping posture in his impression and seldom moved, has turned over and lay on his side, that is, on the outside of the bed.Hua Qianyu approached, squatted in front of An Mingxi, raised his hand and gently stroked his cheek with his fingertips.

Suddenly felt a little pity - if he hadn't run outside, he might be being hugged by An Mingxi this time.

He thought that he probably really liked this person.

Just because he is good-looking?

He thought, An Mingxi has many other advantages, such as being cute, cute, and...cute.

This person, even when angry, is heart-stoppingly cute.

Hua Qianyu's fingertips slid onto An Mingxi's soft lips, gently caressing them.He blushed and justified his actions in his heart—that would be fair.

……

When he woke up the next day, An Mingxi opened his eyes in a daze, and found that Hua Qianyu, who was sleeping on his right side, had disappeared. He thought it was someone who got up earlier than him, but after looking around, He found Hua Qianyu was beside him—when did he exchange places with Hua Qianyu?

An Mingxi didn't have any impression, but he thought, it's not a big deal.

Hua Qianyu slept soundly, but it was already dawn.He pushed the sleeping man and said, "Get up."

Hua Qianyu, who was forced out of the dream, lost consciousness. Even after hearing his voice, she didn't intend to get up—it was rare to stay in bed.

An Mingxi stopped calling him, and planned to get out of bed by himself. As soon as he moved his legs, Hua Qianyu's hands wrapped around his waist.Hua Qianyu raised his head with difficulty, his eyes were half-opened, and he looked sleepy. He said, "Brother calls again, and Yu will wake up." Then he leaned his head on An Mingxi's waist with a dead face.An Mingxi pushed his face away with a palm and said, "It's up to you." Whether he loves to wake up or not.

However, Hua Qianyu didn't intend to let go, why did An Mingxi feel that something was wrong with this person today?

After a nap, the skin is thicker?

"elder brother……"

Hua Qianyu buried her face in An Mingxi's waist, and secretly raised the corners of her mouth—this is probably the benefit of liking the same sex, even eating tofu so openly.

An Mingxi sighed silently, patted him on the back and said, "Get up."

Hua Qianyu raised his head abruptly, looking at An Mingxi with a high-spirited look, which made An Mingxi baffled - but, it seemed, there was nothing wrong with it.

As if being liked by him.

An Mingxi turned his head away, pushed his hands away, and said, "Let's go." Then he stepped on the floor, put on his clothes, put on his belt, put on his socks, put on his shoes, stood up, and lifted the curtain...

Turning sideways, elbows resting on the pillow, supporting his head, Hua Qianyu, who was admiring An Mingxi's series of movements, closed his eyes after An Mingxi got out of the car, and listened to the sound of him stepping into the front room, getting out of the car and landing on the ground. Voice, the corners of the mouth still have a proud arc.

……

After eating, it's time to start again.

Before leaving, the couple followed them to the door, and the hostess gave the host a nudge, obviously wanting to talk.

The master took out the gold from the purse, leaving only one hidden in the purse.He held the gold he took out in the palm of his hand, and said to Hua Qianyu, "Can you exchange them for silver or copper for us?" Keeping one, they want to keep it for the eldest son. When he marries a wife in the future, he can Take it to the gold shop to make a pair of earrings as a bride price.

Hua Qianyu was puzzled.

The male host explained: "You see, our conditions don't seem like we can take out gold. I'm afraid that if we take gold, they will think it's fake and they will suspect it's stolen, so..."

Hua Qianyu waved his hand, signaling Le Yang to bring the money.Like a magic trick, Le Yang took out a heavy bag of silver from the cuff of his left hand, estimated the weight of the two sides, and exchanged a similar amount of silver for the hostess.The couple thanked each other repeatedly, and the host returned the gold to Le Yang.

Afterwards, the couple watched them get into the carriage and traveled far away again.

"They are good people." An Mingxi said.

Hua Qianyu replied: "Yes, a very kind person."

An Mingxi shook his head: "They will be worried that others will think that the gold they give is fake, but they don't suspect that what you give is fake."

Hua Qianyu lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and said, "Yes."

You who see other people's good looks so clearly, aren't you also a good person?

The person he likes is very gentle.

……

It has been almost a month since they left Luojing, during this time they kept on traveling during the day and resting at night.Let the people rest, let the horse rest.I don't know if they were lucky or not. They never encountered any major difficulties, but occasionally they couldn't find a place to live and could only sleep in the carriage for one night. At this time, it was the servants who were in trouble, but for them It's not bitter.

On the way, someone once warned them that there was a bandit den on the border between Shannan and Huainan, and they often robbed pedestrians, but they were almost out of Huainan, and there were no bandits.I really don't know if it's the people who are exaggerating, or it's God's favor.

During this time they did not enter the city.There are many people in the city, so there are many natural rules. For example, some streets do not allow horses or carriages to walk without permission; for example, under normal circumstances, after the sun sets, the city gates will be closed and entry and exit are prohibited.

There is still a long distance from Suzhou.During this long and boring journey, Hua Qianyu was lucky to have An Mingxi by his side.Even though the two might not exchange a few words throughout the day, just looking at An Mingxi, Hua Qianyu felt relieved.

An Mingxi covered his face with the book to block Hua Qianyu's sight, and said, "Don't read it, you've been reading it for a month, don't you get tired of it?" Hua Qianyu never got tired of it, he was almost tired of it.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Hua Qianyu, who was facing An Mingxi across the table, stretched out his right hand and pressed the book, and said with a smile, "I won't get tired of reading it for a lifetime."

If one knew his thoughts, one would be able to hear the profound meaning in his words, but An Mingxi only thought that he had always been frivolous, spoke incoherently, exaggerated at every turn, and liked to flatter.

An Mingxi squinted at him, and replied: "I will be a dry old grandfather in my life."

Hua Qianyu said without hesitation: "That's also pretty."

"Don't always tease me with my appearance." An Mingxi said indifferently, but there was no sullen expression on his face.

"Why is brother so unconfident in himself?"

An Mingxi put down his hands, turned his face to him, and responded seriously: "This face is only suitable for a woman's face."

He couldn't say he hated his own face.

He knew that he and Concubine Mu looked alike, and the older he got, the more he could find Concubine Mu's shadow in the mirror, which made him not forget Concubine Mu's face.But in the days of being called a sissy and disgusting for a long time, he thought that a man should not have such a face.

"Why aren't men suitable?" Hua Qianyu leaned forward slightly, with his left hand on his knee and his right hand across the table. The book An Mingxi had just put down was placed under his palm.

An Mingxi was too lazy to argue with him, and tried to pull the book out from under his palm, but Hua Qianyu's hand pressed hard.

"Brother, do you think Qianyu looks good?" Hua Qianyu had a smile on his eyes, and it didn't seem that he was not confident about his appearance.

An Mingxi carefully looked at the words - under the heroic sword eyebrows are a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, which is even more attractive when he smiles; the bridge of the nose is sharp and straight; , making him look like he hasn't completely shed his childishness, making his appearance even more deceptive...

"Ugly." After An Mingxi finished speaking, he pulled out the book under Hua Qianyu's palm and began to read - it's rare that the road is relatively smooth, so he can read a book well.

Unexpectedly, Hua Qianyu was taken aback by what he said, then lowered his head and remained silent.

An Mingxi ignored him. After reading the book for a while, he squinted to find that Hua Qianyu was still motionless. He sighed, put down the book, and tapped Hua Qianyu's forehead with his fingertips. With a little force, Hua Qianyu Yu raised his head by himself and looked at him, looking a little aggrieved.

An Mingxi said helplessly: "It looks good—is it okay? Is it interesting to always pretend to be pitiful?"

Hua Qianyu raised his hand, held his hand, his aggrieved expression remained unchanged, and said, "It doesn't matter if others say I'm ugly, but I hope Qianyu is the prettiest in Brother Xi's eyes." Xi Shi comes out of it.

An Mingxi naturally put away his index finger, without asking why, he still regarded it as flattery.

He suddenly asked, "Did you draw that painting?"

Hua Qianyu knew what he was talking about after careful consideration, so he replied: "Yes."

"Why draw me?"

"Naturally because it looks good."

"You..." An Mingxi felt that it was difficult for him to communicate with Hua Qianyu. He never liked to be entangled, so he changed the question and asked, "How did you get in?"

"There are guards outside the hall, so naturally they climbed over the wall to get in."

Thinking of that scene, An Mingxi couldn't help chuckling: "You, you are too bold."

……

The last twilight of the sun quickly dissipated behind the hill in the distance. Before nightfall, they found the inn, but this inn was so big that it was hard to believe that it would be opened here with few people.

As soon as they stopped the carriage, an enthusiastic handyman came to greet them. The handyman said that there was pasture and a pool in the side yard. In order to lead the horses and take care of their belongings, Dong Taiyuan and Dong Qiming each led a carriage and followed the handyman. The servant went to the side yard.

Surprisingly, in such a remote place, there are not many people in the inn, but it is much quieter than the residents of other inns.The female shopkeeper came closer with a handkerchief in her hand, and said loudly to them: "Hey, guest officer! Do you want to stay in the shop?"

"If you are a top player, you have to stay in the hotel." Hua Qianyu said.

"Okay! Little Er—"

"My lord, the atmosphere is not right." Liu Huo suddenly approached Hua Qianyu's ear and said in a low voice.

Hua Qianyu looked around calmly, glanced at the environment of the inn and these big guys who were sitting at several tables scattered, but had a similar aura, and only asked the shopkeeper: "How many vacant rooms are there?"

"How many rooms do you want, sir?"

"How many rooms are there? I want all of them."

The female shopkeeper glanced at the seven people present and said, "Seven rooms."

Hua Qianyu sighed and said, "There are nine of us, and I want nine rooms."

"This……"

The female shopkeeper slandered: These few people who look like servants still live in a single room?

"Forget it, let's continue on our way." Hua Qianyu turned around, making a gesture to leave, when he noticed that the two big men who were close to him wanted to get up.

He thought they had indeed entered a den of thieves.
