Li Qinghuan

Ning Shisan took the jade pendant and went into the back room, while He Li drank wine boredly by himself, resting his forehead with one hand, his heart was full of melancholy.

He was so tired that he fell asleep with his head propped up in a short while, in a daze, as if something had slipped into his arms.

Woke up again in the evening, Ning Shisan sat opposite him and drank tea slowly: "How sleepy are you?"

He Li raised his head and rubbed his eyes: "I'm sorry, Thirteenth Master, I really haven't had a good rest these days, I really couldn't hold on just now."

Ning Shisan waved his hand: "It's okay."

Just as He Li was about to sit upright, he suddenly felt something move in his arms. He lowered his head, and a tabby cat was sleeping soundly in his arms, moving its head in its sleep.

Ning Shisan smiled and said, "This lazy cat actually likes you quite a bit."

He Li gently leaned back to his original position: "It's rare, since I was a child, cats and dogs were not welcome."

Ning Shisan laughed loudly, and after laughing, he took two jade pendants from his hand and handed them to He Li: "Here."

He Li took the jade pendant with both hands, thanked him, and quickly stuffed it into his arms.

Ning Shisan smiled: "I originally asked Ji Qing to bring you to meet me, but I didn't expect you to come here by yourself."

He Li smiled embarrassingly. The woman in front of him looked like she was only in her 20s, and somehow she had the majesty of an elder. He Li tentatively asked, "Are Master Thirteen and He Ming good friends?" ?”

Ning Shisan was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It can be said that, more precisely, I am his elder, watching him grow up."

He Li felt even more strange, with a puzzled look on his face.

Ning Shisan smiled at him: "Your Highness, I feel that I am very close to you. When I have a chance in the future, I will talk to you slowly."

He Li knew that the other party didn't want to say anything, so he just nodded: "Okay."

Ning Shisan turned his head to look at the cat in his arms, and shouted, "Xu idiot!"

The cat slowly opened its eyes, meowed in dissatisfaction, slowly got up, and jumped onto the beam in twos and threes.

He Li drank the remaining wine from the cup on the table, picked up the bamboo hat on the table, put it on, and got up: "Master Thirteen, I'll take my leave first, thank you for your hospitality."

Ning Shisan asked, "Where are you going?"

He Li shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know."

Ning Shisan nodded with a half-smile, "You go."

He Li nodded: "Farewell."

Ning Shisan waved his hand: "Xu Caobao, take him down."

Reluctantly, Xu Caobao jumped off the beam again, and walked slowly in front of He Li to lead him the way.

He Li followed him and turned left and right, and in a short while he arrived at the lobby where he had just entered.

However, unlike when he came in just now, all the people in the hall have left, not even the buddy, the door of Qingfeng Pavilion is closed tightly, and the whole hall is dark.

Xu Caobao jumped forward and jumped onto the railing to look at him. He Li stopped and turned to look at Xu Caobao. Xu Caobao licked his paws, and then stretched out his paws to point downstairs.

He Li was secretly amazed in his heart, and looked in the direction it pointed. On the wooden chair downstairs, a man in white was sitting quietly. He Li's heart jumped suddenly, heavy and powerful, so clear that he could Hearing that, he didn't even need to see his face, he could recognize it just by his figure, it was Ji Qing.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, he turned his head to look at Xu Caobao in a daze, and whispered, "You found it?"

Xu Caobao raised his eyes and meowed, then lowered his head and continued to lick his paws.

He Li: "Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Li directly climbed over the fence and went downstairs. His anxiety is not enough to describe his current feelings. He felt guilty and grateful to Ji Qing, and he missed him no matter what, and all kinds of emotions Mixed together, let him suffer unspeakably.

No matter how mixed feelings were in his heart, when he walked in front of Ji Qing and saw his haggard face, He Li lost his mind, Ji Qing stood up hesitantly when he heard footsteps, and his voice became much hoarse: "Ah Li. "

He Li took off his hat, without saying a word, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly, he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy, He Li buried his head in Ji Qing's arms, took a few deep breaths, he could clearly understand Feeling the trembling of Ji Qing's hands holding him tightly, his temple hair was gradually moistened by Ji Qing's tears.

After a long time, Ji Qing let go, lowered his head slightly to wipe away the tears from He Li's temples, and put on the bamboo hat for him, his eyes were calm, but there were still tears on his face.

He Li exhaled softly: "Sorry, Heming."

Ji Qing's slender index finger touched his eyes: "Don't apologize, you are right, I can't accept it if it were me."

He Li lowered his head and said, "Don't mention Heming, let's go home."

Ji Qing held his hand, as gentle as ever: "Let's go home."

But He Li seemed to be thinking of something, turned around and shouted: "Farewell to the Thirteenth Master, there is still... Xu, Xu Idiot."

Ji Qing chuckled and didn't answer.

He Li scratched his head, thinking that the name was really hard to pronounce, it sounded like a curse.

Ning Shisan's clear voice resounded in the empty lobby: "Walk slowly, Ji Xiaoqing, remember to bring your Highness to visit here more often when you have time, I am so boring by myself."

I haven't seen him, only heard his voice.

Ji Qing replied lazily: "I know, thank you Thirteenth Master for today's matter."

Ning Shisan: "You're welcome, let's go."

Ji Qing: "Farewell, let's go, Ah Li."

He Li nodded, and said to the empty upstairs: "Thank you for bothering me today, Lord Thirteen."

Ning Shisan said: "Why are you two talking so much nonsense, are you still leaving?"

Ji Qing smiled, and lightly touched He Li with his finger: "Let's go."

He Li nodded: "Let's go."

He Li held Ji Qing's hand tightly, feeling extremely at ease.

Ji Qing pushed open the door very naturally, and let He Li walk out of Qingfeng Pavilion first.

After leaving the Qingfeng Pavilion, it was Jianchang Avenue. The sky was getting dark gradually, but there were still people coming and going on Jianchang Avenue, but none of them wanted to let go of their hands, so they held each other tightly.

The entire city of Yu was gradually darkening in the twilight, Ji Qing raised his hand to pull the white gauze on He Li's hat a little, and bent slightly: "It will be dark now, no one will recognize you, let's walk slowly go back, okay?"

He Li looked at his gentle gaze through the white gauze, his heart trembled, and he nodded involuntarily: "Okay."

Ji Qing smiled, turned his head and walked forward step by step. After a long time, he whispered: "A Li, I'm sorry."

He Li shook his head: "It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize to me. It's because I was ignorant and made trouble out of no reason."

Ji Qing paused: "A Li, are you still blaming me?"

He Li shook his head again, he didn't.In fact, Ji Qing shouldn't be blamed at all, it's just that he has been hit one after another recently, and he can't help feeling a little more suspicious.It has also slowed down in the past few days. If these things have been unclear for so long, who is good and who is bad, and has been wallowing in the past, then he is not He Li.

He Li turned his head to look at Ji Qing, but Ji Qing still looked a bit disappointed, and he was indescribably haggard.

He sighed softly: "Heming, I really didn't blame you, so don't blame me either, okay?

Ji Qing was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.

He Li shook the tightly held hands, and his tone became lighter: "Let's go, let's go home."

Ji Qing smiled: "Okay."

The sky was getting dark gradually, and the two of them were dressed low-key, and they were not very conspicuous when walking on the road.

He Li raised his head slightly, looked at the stars gradually brightening in the sky, and took a deep breath.

The whole journey was silent, until he returned to Ji Mansion and entered Zhanlu Garden, He Li gritted his teeth and said, "He Ming, I have something I want to give you."

Ji Qing stopped in his tracks: "What?"

He Li was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't be disgusted."

Ji Qing smiled: "Why would you dislike it, as long as it is a gift from Ah Li, I like it no matter what it is."

He Li's face turned red in the night, he reached out and took out the two jade pendants from his bosom, looked at them, and then handed one to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing took it and looked carefully: "This is. That black jade brave?"

He Li nodded and asked, "Do you like it?"

Ji Qing looked anxious: "I like it, but this, this is."

He Li interrupted him: "It's nothing, Heming, it doesn't matter what it is, other than this, I really have nothing else to give you."

Ji Qing became even more anxious: "I don't want you to give me anything. I really want you to give me something. Do you understand?"

He Li pondered for a moment, then said: "He Ming, what I mean is, I have nothing to give you except myself, this heart."

Ji Qing was a little stunned: "What?"

He Li smiled: "The Moyu Pixiu was given to His Highness King Yu by the late Emperor, and this lovebird was given to Ji Heming by He Li."

Ji Qing: "Lovebird?"

He Li nodded: "Yes, Lovebird."

Ji Qing's expression changed from panic to surprise, and finally a gentle smile formed on his face.

He Li stared at his face, unable to move his eyes away, and then continued, "What are you afraid of?"

The smile on Ji Qing's face gradually faded: "I'm afraid you will leave me."

He Li withdrew his gaze: "What kind of departure are you talking about?"

Ji Qing said slowly but sincerely: "As long as it's not the parting of life and death, I'm afraid of anything."

He Li: "Then I go to the border next year, will you miss me? Or, are you afraid?"

Ji Qing nodded, then shook his head again: "You go to the border to do what you want to do, as long as you want to do it, I will never stop you no matter what, just do what you want."

He Li asked again: "Then why are you not afraid of life and death?"

Ji Qing smiled: "If you die, how can I live alone."

He said it lightly, but it didn't seem to be half false, firm and soft, as if it was a matter of course.

He Li always felt that these words were not very auspicious, so he put his index finger on his lips: "Don't say that."

Ji Qing lowered his eyes, saw his fingertips, and said softly: "I was wrong."

While speaking, He Li felt that Ji Qing's breath was approaching, and then stretched out one hand to push He Li's fingers away, and then clasped them together. The other hand naturally raised, and gently pinched him. The nape of his neck, and then slightly leaned over to press the soft lips of the boy in front of him.
