"The owner of the village went out a few days ago and didn't return, the young master will come back in a few days."

"Then... do you know when he will come back?"

"I don't know about this. If the young master is in a hurry, I will report to the manager, okay?"

"……Um."

Although Liu Zhongyi was a little hesitant, he still nodded in agreement.

The young man turned around and went back to report. Not long after, a man came over. It was Liu Zhongrui, the manager of the village.

Liu Zhongrui bowed to him: "Young Master Liu."

Liu Zhongyi knew that this person happened to expose his identity that day, so he didn't hide it, nodded slightly, and said, "The owner... what did he do?"

Liu Zhongrui didn't answer his question, but asked: "Young Master Liu, is there something to do with the owner?"

"Ah."

"The owner said he will be back within half a month, Mr. Liu might as well come back then."

Liu Zhongyi frowned slightly, and said, "Why didn't you answer me, what did he do?"

Liu Zhongrui was silent for a moment, and said: "The whereabouts of the owner of the villa have never been disclosed to outsiders."

Liu Zhongyi was taken aback, then nodded, "I overstepped the bounds, please leave."

As soon as he turned around, he heard Liu Zhongrui say: "Young Master Liu, is this what you want?"

"What do you mean?"

"Leave him completely, and never have anything to do with him again."

"..." Liu Zhongyi couldn't answer for a while, this was indeed what he had planned from the beginning, but when he heard it from his mouth, he felt extremely chilled.

Liu Zhongrui said: "I know that the owner owes you a lot, but in the past five years, he has never been much better than you, and he rarely smiles... Maybe Mr. Liu will think that I am partial, and I have nothing to do with it." To retort, this time is too much to say, if Mr. Liu doesn't like it, just pretend that you have never heard of it."

"..."

"The owner of the village is just looking for some medicinal materials this time, and he will definitely come back within half a month."

Liu Zhongyi didn't turn around, just nodded slightly, and left.

He naturally knew that what Liu Zhongrui said was true. He had never resented Wen Yan, but at the same time, he had already given up thinking about being with him.So that day, when Wen Yan said that sentence, he was more at a loss and couldn't believe it.

After returning to Zhaixing Tower, he received something from Wen Yan's order the next day. It was something he had asked Ye to leave to retrieve it.He also understood the reason why Wen Yan sent these here, that person was planning to fulfill his wish - if he wanted to leave, then let him go, he would not keep him, let alone force him.Wen Yan did this precisely because he felt that he owed him too much, so even if he wanted to keep him, he would not say so.

Liu Zhongyi suddenly realized that he knew that person so well, but even so, he still couldn't believe the liking he said.

Standing under the tree by the roadside, he took out from his bosom the little wooden rabbit that Wen Yan gave him when he was in Yunchuan. He still remembered the little embarrassed expression on Wen Yan's face when he asked him if he didn't like it on the Spring Festival night. , reflecting the surrounding lights, warming his heart.

It's not that I don't like it.

In fact, he has always liked it.

It was already night when Wen Yan returned to Baicao Village, and it was the last day of the half-moon period.

Seeing that he came back safely, Liu Zhongrui felt relieved, and told about Liu Zhongyi's visit to him.

Although Wen Yan was a little surprised, but it was approaching midnight, even if he wanted to find someone, he could only make plans tomorrow.After he returned to his room, he washed off all the travel dust, and when he put on his clothes, he felt a pain in his heart, presumably it must be the time of day.

When he went out this time, he used the drug that suppressed the red line, so the attack should be more severe than usual after the effect of the drug.

Wen Yan supported the bedpost and sat down, the pain in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if being torn by sharp claws, crushed bit by bit, and crushed into fine powder.Usually the red line attack is very painful, but this time the pain is even more intense, and the pain from the tearing of the red mark on the hand can hardly be felt.

Wen Yan held on to the bed rail and closed his eyes to endure. The shoulder injury he suffered while gathering herbs burst open due to too much force, and he couldn't care about it, he just hoped that time would pass faster.

I don't know how long it took, and my mind was a little dizzy, but the pain seemed to gradually disappear.Wen Yan let himself fall on the couch, but heard a soft knock on the door.

Maybe it's just Night Breeze, he thought, his body stiffened by the pain, unable to move for a while.

"Master."

When the voice sounded, Wen Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a person in black night clothes standing in front of the couch, with a black scarf on his face, and a look of worry in his eyes.

"Favorite?"

Wen Yan forced himself to sit up. Although the pain disappeared because of this person's arrival, his body that seemed to have reached its limit just now seemed a little out of control: "Why are you here?"

Liu Zhongyi didn't answer, but pulled off the scarf on his face, and said, "Are you injured?"

Wen Yan looked down, not to mention the blood stains on his hands due to the red thread, the open wound on his left shoulder even stained the single clothes on his body bright red.He took a cloth towel and wiped off the blood, took out ointment from the bedside, and said, "It's okay, it's just a small injury, it will heal in a few days."

Liu Zhongyi remained silent, took the medicine bottle from his hand, raised his hand and gently pulled off the clothes on his shoulders, but saw that the wound was extremely deep, it looked like a few blood holes, fortunately it was not big, it didn't look like a sword wound.He frowned, opened the medicine bottle, sprinkled the medicine powder on the torn wound to stop the bleeding, and asked, "What's going on?"

Wen Yan said: "I was bitten by a wild beast in the woods when I went to gather medicine...it's okay."

Liu Zhongyi helped him bandage the wound, saying: "With the master's skills, he should be fine."

Wen Yan smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Someone made a mistake, I was negligent."

The place where Qing Hegen was born was already very dangerous, so he would have no problem going there normally, but when he met the wolf that night, the red line broke out, and his body's flexibility was much weaker, and the wolf pounced on him and wanted to bite him When he couldn't dodge the neck, he was bitten on the shoulder.Although it was poisoned to death with poison later, if the wound on the shoulder was moved a little more, maybe it would be him who died.That's why he used the medicine to suppress the red line, so as not to encounter similar situations again.

Liu Zhongyi looked down at his hand wearing the jade ring, and said softly, "Master, do you have something to hide from me?"

Wen Yan was startled, and met his eyes. There were thousands of emotions in those eyes, and he couldn't read clearly for a while.

Liu Zhongyi said: "I came here this time just to ask the owner a question, and I hope the owner will answer me truthfully."

"Yes." Wen Yan nodded, "I will definitely tell the truth."

Liu Zhongyi looked at him for a moment, his voice was low but clear: "The owner said last time, is it true? If you say yes, I will believe it."

Wen Yan's heart skipped a beat, suppressing his surging emotions, and replied: "What I said is absolutely true, if I lie to you, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhongyi moved closer and kissed his lips.

Warm and soft, as if slightly sweet, he thought of Liu Zhongyi's kiss in the flower forest of Muyue Cliff last time, just like this time, it was so simple and close together, but it made him feel strangely. A faint sweetness that I don't know where it comes from.

This person was unexpected every time, which caught him off guard, and it was too late to rejoice.

Or maybe it was because the heart was beating too much, almost suffocating, just felt like a dream, when the man's lips left, he still only knew to look at him, unable to speak.

Liu Zhongyi also looked at him, with a resolute look, repeated: "I believe in you."

"Zhong Yi..." Wen Yan looked at his expression carefully, after a while, smiled, and said in a low voice: "If you can really trust me, how could you be like this... You should know what you said, I Hiding that matter from you?"

Liu Zhongyi was taken aback, lowered his eyes, held his hand, and slowly took off the jade ring.

Wen Yan didn't move, since he already knew, it was pointless to stop him.

There was still blood on the warm nephrite, and the cracked red mark on Wen Yan's finger was also stained with blood, which looked a bit shocking.

Liu Zhongyi picked up the cloth towel to help him wipe away the blood, staring at the hand in a daze.

Wen Yan's hands are very beautiful, more beautiful than anyone he has ever seen, warm and clean, with slender finger bones, because he doesn't often hold a sword, there are no calluses, the fingertips are soft, and there is a faint scent of medicine.But at this time, besides the red line, this hand also bears many scars, stacked one after another, because the color is very light, if you don't look closely, you can't find it. It won't take long to heal and disappear, but he still feels uncomfortable looking at it.

Wen Yan couldn't distinguish the expression in his eyes, and said softly: "Don't force yourself for me."

He also figured out why Liu Zhongyi did that just now, maybe that person still likes him, but he can no longer accept it.Even if you know the red thread, even...you have personally verified that the red thread will indeed stop happening because of his presence——

Intellectually clear, but emotionally unacceptable.

The belief Liu Zhongyi said was not so much telling him, but rather forcing himself.

Liu Zhongyi didn't look up at him, but just asked, "Why did you keep it from me?"

"Tell you what you will do?" Wen Yan smiled and said: "The red thread cannot be dispelled, it can only be transferred. If I tell you, wouldn't you let me put this poisonous poison on yourself, and then say what love is?" Your elder brother, should you come, instead of me being an outsider?"

"You..." Liu Zhongyi looked at him suddenly, his heartbeat suddenly stalled, he paused, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Then... what should we do in the future?"

Wen Yan softly said: "Don't worry, even if the predecessors have not developed the antidote for the red thread Gu, it doesn't mean that I can't. As I said at the beginning, how can there really be no cure for poison in this world, but it has not been cured for the time being. It's just a method. That's right, how did you know about this?"

Liu Zhongyi said: "Yeli told me, I guessed it."

Wen Yan nodded, Yeli had indeed seen the red thread on his body when he left the Zhaixing Tower, and Yeli must have described Liu Zhongyi to think that this person is sometimes so smart that he doesn't know what to do .Wen Yan looked at the person who was holding his hand and didn't let him go. Although he knew that he should let him go, he still couldn't resist the warm expectation in his heart, and said softly: "Zhong Yi, I will stay with you for the past five years." You are not good, and it is only natural that you cannot accept it. But, can you give it a try...Trust me truly, and if you still feel bad then, you can leave me at any time. "

Liu Zhongyi trembled slightly when he heard the words, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not just because of the red line. And... Actually, I... also really want to get the owner."

It is easy for him to say something that is not what he meant, but it is more difficult for him to say such a truth, so when he said it, his words were even a bit incoherent and the words did not convey the meaning.

Five years is a long time, but he still hasn't let go of the obsession called liking in his heart.

"Zhong Yi..." He should have been happy after hearing this, but Wen Yan felt an inexplicable bitter pain in his heart, so he could only gently call his name, looked down at the red mark on his hand, and said: "Then But I want to thank this red thread Gu, if it wasn't for it, you would never have said such things to me."

Liu Zhongyi lowered his eyes slightly, took his hand, and lowered his head as if to look carefully, for a moment, he kissed the mark lightly.

Wen Yan was startled, and before he had time to say anything, he felt a bit of warmth and gentleness sweep across the thin wound, and the numbness spread from his fingers to the tip of his heart.

"do not do that……"

"Ok?"

Liu Zhongyi raised his head, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at him questioningly.

Wen Yan moved a little closer, pressed his lips against his, and suddenly tasted the faint sweetness from nowhere.

Although Liu Zhongyi was young in love, he responded to him like what Wen Yan did that night at Mingsha Sect, brushing his lips tentatively with the tip of his tongue like a kiss.

Wen Yan was aroused by his unintentional actions, but she thought that she had hurt him, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

Liu Zhong felt that he didn't respond, so he paused, left his lips, and said, "Is it not possible?"

There was doubt and uneasiness in those clear peach blossom eyes, Wen Yan shook his head, wanting to kiss and hug, but no matter what, he still wanted to talk about the past, "That incident five years ago... I'm sorry."

Liu Zhongyi didn't know what he was talking about, so she just looked at him and waited for him to continue.

Wen Yan whispered: "Uncle Liu told me..."

Liu Zhongyi opened his eyes slightly as if thinking about it, and then said: "No... I'm not fine either."

Wen Yan was taken aback, but he didn't know where he came from, so he asked: "I was drunk that night, did I... force you...?"

Liu Zhongyi lowered his head and whispered: "I was not good at martial arts at that time, and I was not good at learning..."

Although Wen Yan didn't quite understand why he suddenly mentioned this, he didn't interrupt and continued to listen to him.

Liu Zhongyi said: "At that time, there was no way to hit the owner's sleeping point... so I had to... knock the owner unconscious..."

Wen Yan was stunned, then laughed aloud, reached out and hugged the man into his arms, put his chin on his shoulder, and said: "Then why did you tell Uncle Liu not to tell me, making him misunderstand like this."

Liu Zhongyi was suddenly hugged by him and was a little startled, and said: "You know I knocked you out, you might be even more angry with me, and... and you treat me as your brother after you're drunk, you must be very sad when you're sober ..."

He remembered that night very clearly, but in fact it was not as easy as it is now.

At that time, his martial arts were not as good as Wen Yan's, and the struggle and resistance at the beginning were nothing to that person's eyes. The drunk person couldn't recognize who was in front of him at all, and he just kept calling his beloved's name, which he could hear clearly .When he was imprisoned and kissed by that person, and he called out his brother's name when he was emotional, he felt very sad. Those intimate actions were like sharp swords, stabbing him in pain, but he couldn't break free.In the end, he had no choice but to pretend to obey, hugged the man with both hands, and then cut the back of the neck with a hand knife when he was unprepared, knocking him unconscious.

Afterwards, he guarded Wen Yan and didn't sleep all night, but this matter has been haunting him like a nightmare for five years. In the dream, the man was also hugging him, but he called, love, love.

Even though she knew that Wen Yan would never do such a thing as using him as a substitute, this wound could not heal with the passage of time.

Liu Zhongyi closed her eyes slightly, but the person holding him said: "Zhongyi, never again."

Liu Zhongyi was startled, he didn't expect Wen Yan to say such a thing, it turned out that this person could actually imagine his thoughts that he hadn't said.

As if the softest and most secret place in my heart was being touched and comforted, Liu Zhongyi's fingertips trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her hand to hug him back, letting the gentle and faint medicinal fragrance linger around every corner.

The two cuddled each other quietly for a while, and then separated slightly, Wen Yan turned his head, and lightly kissed the side of the person beside him.

The distance was very close, and he could clearly see the faint redness of the slightly pale skin, and he couldn't help but chuckle, remembering the soft-looking child when he first met, who was stunned because he pinched his cheek, but His face was also blushing like this, but it made him want to bully him even more.If Liu Zhongqing hadn't put the knife on his neck at that time, maybe he would have teased him again, but at this moment, he vaguely found a little bit of the state of mind when he was young——

Not much worry, a lot of frivolity, everything comes from the heart.

Liu Zhongyi backed away a little, and just saw the smile on his face. What he remembered was the scene when he first saw him. The young man in white was smiling, but his eyebrows and eyes were gentle. Although Wen Yan had smiled in the past five years, but It seems that there has always been some peace and indifference, even if it is sincere, it also lacks some warmth.

Liu Zhongyi knew that he was also saddened, but he couldn't cross the barrier of indifference to comfort anything, seeing him smile like that again because of him, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

These few months have been like being in a dream, he has to treat each other tenderly, and he has to smile tenderly... And from now on, this person also belongs to him.

Liu Zhongyi leaned closer and kissed the corner of his curved lips.

They got a response almost immediately, just like that night in the Mingsha Sect, their lips and teeth hugged each other, attacking the city, even though they were tender and affectionate, they also carried the meaning of possessing each other.

Breathing became heavier, Liu Zhongyi imitated that night's appearance and pulled off Wen Yan's unlined clothes a bit jerky. Like water, but still couldn't help laughing.

Liu Zhongyi stopped, looked at his half-dressed appearance, bit his inexplicably dry lips, and asked very seriously: "Isn't it right?"

Wen Yan smiled and leaned closer to kiss the soft and warm lips, and said, "No, anything is fine."

Liu Zhongyi looked at him, breathing heavily, the body of the person in front of him was very beautiful, in fact, one could imagine it from those hands.Wen Yan practiced internal martial arts, his body is well-proportioned, like the quality of high-quality jade, Liu Zhongyi followed his instinct and approached and kissed his neck and shoulders, his nose was full of soft medicinal fragrance, somehow, he felt that smell It makes the body scorching hot, which is hard to dispel, like being drugged with aphrodisiac, wanting to touch this person's skin to calm down the inexplicable throbbing.

Liu Zhongyi couldn't help using some strength, and his lips left some faint red marks on the body, but he still felt that it was not enough, and after a long time of patience, he finally exerted a sudden force, pressed the person on the couch, and rubbed him lightly.

Wen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, raised his hand and loosened his belt.

Liu Zhongyi stared at him, and let him tear his clothes apart. After a while, the two of them touched each other skin to skin, as if they were kissing. There was a slight tingling feeling, which was very comfortable, but the heat in their bodies was even worse. Somewhere under the body clearly speaks of desire.

Wen Yan naturally felt it too, but smiled silently.

Although Liu Zhongyi was very jerky about the affair, he was not very shy. He looked at him with burning eyes, as if asking what to do next.

"Be good." Wen Yan comforted him in a low voice, turning over and pressing down the young man who was dawdling on his body, accurately grasping his weak point, and lingering on him with the other hand, teasing him lightly or heavily.

Liu Zhongyi only felt that the man seemed to know this body better than himself, and every inch of the sensitive place was being caressed. When he opened his eyes and saw that jade-like finger holding his place, he suddenly felt ashamed, and for the first time, he felt ashamed. He had the idea of ​​wanting to escape, but it was obvious that he couldn't escape now, so he could only pant in a low voice and let the man lead him into a deeper abyss of desire.

I don't know how long I struggled in the uncontrollable pleasure, and finally got relief. Liu Zhongyi gasped a bit in a daze, but felt his mind gradually becoming dizzy, and fell asleep after a while.

Wen Yan found a cloth towel to wipe off his hands, stared helplessly at the irresponsible sleeping person, suddenly felt something was wrong, logically speaking, Liu Zhongyi's physical strength was no worse than his own, how could he fall asleep so easily.

As a result, those thoughts disappeared immediately, and when he pressed his pulse with his fingers, he realized that it was indeed the effect of the Gu poison. Although Liu Zhongyi used the prescription he wrote to suppress the Gu poison, he was not completely immune to the influence. It has weakened a lot.

Wen Yan helped him clean up with a cloth towel dipped in water, carefully covered the quilt, stared down for a moment, and kissed the warm and soft lips lightly.

Probably only this person would be so stupid, who would still love him after being neglected by him for five years.

And from now on, he will never let go.
