sick man

"What a pity, what a pity!"

After getting off the boat, Song Anwen was downcast all the time,

"Cousin, how come Xiaoxiao, who is so beautiful and gentle, was marked away by a businessman from the Western Regions who is as strong as a mountain? Ouch, that person looks really scary! Let alone the hair on his arms and legs Just look at those eyes... Scary! I'm terrified when I think about it now, where are people's eyes green? Tell me..."

Song Anwen patted his chest with fear on his face, waited for a while, but didn't hear Ling Long's voice, so he turned to call him,

"Cousin?"

Ling Long's face was half-hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see clearly, but his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, shining brightly, as if he was caught in an extremely excited and joyful mood.

Song Anwen has seen this kind of look a lot, just now on the boat, didn't those bidding guests just stare at Xiaoxiao like this?The obsession in those eyes, tsk tsk, I wish I could tear people up and swallow them alive.

"Cousin~brother~, tell my cousin, which girl do you have a crush on?"

Song Anwen walked over and put his arms around Ling Long's shoulders, laughing nonchalantly,

"Is it Jiaoyan who poured you tea, or Lianlian who accidentally fell into your arms?"

"Cousin, you are drunk."

Ling Long frowned and pushed him away, somehow restraining the emotion on his face.

But Song Anwen got excited and twisted him relentlessly,

"Good cousin! Just tell my cousin, as long as you don't like Xiaoxiao, my cousin can get it for you!"

"Really?" The last sentence touched Ling Long's heart.

"really!"

Song Anwen nodded straight, and the little calculation in his heart crackled. If this rich cousin is pulled into the camp, will he worry about losing a girl like Xiaoxiao in the future?

"Then how is the relationship between my cousin and Liu Siqin?"

"Eh?"

Song Anwen was still waiting to see which girl Ling Long fell in love with, but he heard Liu Siqin's name instead.

"Liu Siqin..."

He rubbed his neck a little embarrassingly,

"Friendship can be regarded as a little bit. We are in the same bookstore where we are studying. His father and my father still have some business contacts... But cousin, why did you ask him? Could it be that you...have a crush on Liu Siqin gone?"

Song Anwen's eyes widened suddenly, recalling that on the painting boat before, Ling Long was indeed absent-minded, and kept glancing in Liu Siqin's direction.If it were someone else, he wouldn't think so, but that was Liu Siqin, a well-known handsome man in Zhuoyang City. His brows and eyes were more delicate and beautiful than women's. When he was studying, there were a few prodigal sons who tried to think of him. Later, Liu Siqin took care of him so badly.

"Cousin, what are you talking about? Liu Siqin is a man, how could I fall in love with him?"

Ling Long retorted sternly, with the words "You are sick" clearly written in his eyes.

Song Anwen was extremely aggrieved and complained,

"Didn't you start it, cousin? We're going to have fun on a boat tonight. You're fine. Once Liu Siqin leaves, you have to drag me away too. I spent 1000 taels of silver and didn't even touch a girl's little hand." Now... now you ask about him again, can I make a wild guess?"

Ling Long thought it was funny,

"Who asked you to patronize guessing without listening to the end? What I want to ask is, does my cousin know Liu Siqin's cousin?"

Only then did Song Anwen realize that he had really misunderstood, he laughed a few times embarrassedly, rolled his eyes and thought hard for a while, and then said,

"Liu Siqin has a lot of cousins, and I know a few, but I don't know which one you're talking about?"

"His name is Mu Yao, and he is the boy who came with Liu Siqin tonight." Ling Long added.

In fact, Song Anwen also saw the young man named Mu Yao, with clear and meaningful eyes, like green and tender lotus leaves in a pond, with an elegant and fresh air.With that kind of figure and appearance, Song Anwen just doesn't like being masculine/sexual, and he is also a little distracted.He has met several of Liu Siqin's cousins, but none of them are so outstanding, presumably he is ignorant.

"Cousin doesn't know either?"

There was obvious disappointment in Ling Long's words.

Song Anwen comforted him and said,

"The Liu family has a big business and has many divisions. Liu Siqin has more cousins. I don't think it's normal. Don't be discouraged. My cousin guarantees that you will see him again in two days."

Ling Long didn't know where his confidence came from, so he looked at him in disbelief.

Song Anwen wanted to make a fool of himself, but he couldn't help it, so he had to tell the truth.

"Two days later, there will be an annual Lantern Festival by the Xianglan Lake, and the unmarried young girls in the entire Zhuoyang City will come out to join in the fun. Are you afraid that you won't see that young master?"

Only then did Ling Long feel relieved, and the regret of forgetting to ask Mu Yao where he lived disappeared immediately.

And you said you're not interested in men?Isn't that Mu Yao also a man?

Song Anwen turned his head for a long time, and finally found the problem.But Ling Long had already gone far away, so he had no choice but to pick up his feet and catch up, and quickly put this question behind him.

Ling Long never felt that the two days were so difficult. In the past, in the villa, he practiced martial arts, slept well, and read books, and one day passed.But in the past two days, no matter what he did, he felt that time passed too slowly, and he didn't bother to look for the delicious food on the street.On the contrary, Song Anwen came to invite him to go out to play every day, and the two sat on Xiao Hongxing's seat by the window, drinking and chatting.Ling Long's eyes kept glancing towards the street, afraid of missing the thin and slender figure of the young man, but he always returned disappointed.

Fortunately, two days are not long, and it will pass soon.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Ling Long went to the Tianyi Bureau very early to choose new clothes. On the moon-white robe, a few auspicious clouds were thinly drawn with silver thread, and butterflies were drawn between the clouds with gold thread, and the texture was embroidered. It is so exquisite and delicate that even the phosphorous powder on the butterfly's body can be clearly seen, as if two of them would fall from the body when one flicked the sleeves.Ling Long seldom wears such light-colored, gorgeous and elegant clothes, which further complement his tall stature and faintly intimidating aura.

Song Anwen, who was pulling the hem of his clothes to take photos, saw Ling Long's figure appearing in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help being stunned. After a while, he swallowed hard and said,

"Cousin, are you... are you trying to fascinate those little girls?"

Ling Long smiled indifferently, smoothed the creases on Song Anwen's skirt, and said,

"With cousin you here, how dare I?"

"Okay, boy! I will send your cousin away!"

Song Anwen listened to it, and pretended to look at it in the mirror for a while, and then settled the bill with Ling Long and left in satisfaction.

As soon as they left Tianyi Bureau, the two hired a carriage to go to Xianglan Lake.

Xianglan Lake is on the edge of Zhuoyang City, and it is almost close to Fengqi Mountain. If you walk, your feet will be flat, and it doesn't matter whether you can make it to the Lantern Festival.So Song Anwen made preparations early on, ordered Xiao Hongxing's cook to make some cold food that was convenient to carry, and bought colored lights in advance, and according to the speed of the carriage, they would be able to arrive at Xianglan Lake at noon.At that time, it would be a pleasure to spread out mats on the ground and drink with the green mountains and green waters.At night, you can occupy a good position and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the bright lights on the lake.It feels good to think about it.

But Song Anwen wasn't the only one who could think of such a good thing, and those who thought more thoroughly than him naturally set off earlier.So when Song Anwen and Ling Long got off the carriage, they were both dumbfounded.The originally inaccessible Xianglan Lake was full of horse-drawn carriages, some with bamboo curtains, some with light gauze, and some with wind chimes hanging from the four corners. Most of them belonged to rich families, and the most luxurious one was , when counting the middle of the lake bank is the carriage pulled by two bloody horses with black bodies and only four hooves on the snow.What's more special is that the carriage is open on all sides, and a thin and impenetrable gauze curtain hangs from above. Occasionally, when the wind blows, one corner of the gauze curtain is lifted, and a section of pure white clothes can be seen in a daze.

I don't know who it is.

The men around were discussing in a low voice, only Song Anwen showed a clear expression, pointed at the carriageway,

"Cousin, isn't that Liu Siqin's love horse, Mo Yun, and Chasing the Moon? The Mu Yao you mentioned, Liu Siqin always takes with him when he goes to the boat. He must be reluctant to leave him at such a lively lantern festival. How about I and you now Let's go over and say hello together?"

What Song Anwen said was not all conjecture, there were indeed two looming figures in that layer of tulle.

Of course Ling Long wished he could go over immediately, but when he took the step, a young boy's face of embarrassment suddenly flashed in his head.That night on the boat, the young man who was talking and laughing with him in a low voice, when he saw Liu Siqin's figure, his whole body seemed to be stiff.

He was afraid of Liu Siqin.

Ling Long came to this conclusion almost subconsciously.

Doubts ensue.

Since you are afraid, why are you still with him?

Is there something unspeakable?

"Cousin, cousin? Why are you so dazed?"

Song Anwen, who had already walked for a while, turned around and found that Ling Long was still standing there, so he raised his voice to urge him.

Ling Long chased after him and pulled him back to his carriage, dragging him so hard that he almost took off Song Anwen's slender arm.

This cousin!Dazed!

After asking for a long time, Song Anwen couldn't figure out why, so he could only caress his numb wrist and sigh.

"Cousin, is the Liu family doing a big business?"

Ling Long looked out the window for a long time, and suddenly asked.

Song Anwen, who was looking at the snack stuffed in his mouth, choked,

"Why did you remember to ask this?"

Ling Long didn't answer, so he continued,

"Didn't I tell you before that his family background is similar to mine. It's not that my cousin is boasting. My family is very rich in Sunyang City. Where can Liu Siqin's family be? But it's just a business on the surface. If you count those who are not visible, I dare not say."

"How about Bilingyun Villa?"

"what?"

Song Anwen was secretly surprised, Ling Long and Liu Siqin just met each other, so how could there be some sense of having a gun with a stick?On the face, he replied in a serious manner,

"Of course not."

The business of Lingyun Mountain Villa has gone to the imperial court, no matter how prosperous the Liu family is in black and white, it cannot match it.

"Then I don't have to grab it hard."

Ling Long squinted his eyes in a good mood, and his eyes glanced at the figures that came and went, and directly casted them on the figures outlined by the white gauze.

Suddenly, his eyes changed, and the hand that was originally resting on his chin suddenly grabbed the window lattice, and his entire upper body leaned out of the window, with a tense look ready to go.

"Cousin?"

Song Anwen looked at him suspiciously.

Ling Long relaxed, turned around and said with a smile,

"It's okay, I just identified the wrong person."

However, deep finger marks were clearly left on the window lattice he grabbed.

Is it an enemy?

Song Anwen thought.

In the distance, on the carriage in the center of the lake, the entangled figures covered in white gauze suddenly separated.
