Youyou Sanshengyue

Sheng Xiao took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to the owner's study, and when he opened the door, he saw Jiang Mingli sitting with two pink-faced beauties teasing.Those two girls were really brave enough to draw turtles on the paperwork played by the elders.The owner, Jiang Mingli, was not angry either, pointing at the graffiti on the document and laughing, "It's not like a turtle, it's more like a bastard! Sheng Xiao, come and see if it looks like it."

Sheng Xiao pretended to glance at the document, and dropped the sweet-scented osmanthus cake angrily, "It's not like a tortoise, it's more like the owner of the village." The two beauties laughed tremblingly when they heard the words, but he ignored Jiang Mingli's face and complained : "The little one only sent some cakes to comfort the owner when he was dealing with political affairs in the study. It seems that the little one is dull, so I won't do unnecessary things next time."

He sorted out the documents from the table next to him, copied them again, and circled and corrected the remaining documents. He was so skillful that he looked more like the owner of the villa than Jiang Mingli.

A few years ago, because Jiang Mingli was found misusing the property in the treasury, Sheng Xiao persuaded him to calm down and take care of the villa.Unexpectedly, after a few days of seriousness, this dude threw the owner's seal into Sheng Xiao's arms: "Since you care so much about the affairs of Jiangzi Villa and are smart, then handle the business for me," he said. She grabbed Sheng Xiao's waist and used her tongue to pry open his teeth teasingly. "I don't believe others, but you are my darling, so I can trust you."

Knowing that using the owner's seal without authorization is equivalent to conspiracy to usurp the throne, but considering the future of Jiangzi Villa, Sheng Xiao can only monopolize the government affairs, and take the opportunity to limit Jiang Mingli's food and clothing to reduce his useless daily expenses .After several years of conscientious management by Sheng Xiao, not only the government affairs of Jiangzi Villa are stable, but also the phenomenon of excessive expenditure has disappeared.The complaints from the elders decreased accordingly, and they all praised the new owner for finally being sensible.

Only the separation of treasury management rights made Sheng Xiao more concerned. He said to Jiang Mingli more than once: "Government and financial power are the foundation of a country, and both are indispensable. If they are separated from others, they may not be able to last for a long time. .If you can meet a sage, that’s fine. Once you meet someone with bad intentions, the villa will not be stable." After Jiang Mingli agreed to draw up a draft to recover the management right of the treasury, who would have thought that Elder Qiu and others Take the lead in vetoing.It doesn't matter to Jiang Mingli, if he loses the financial power, he will lose his errands, so it's easy, and he has nothing to do all day long, just waiting for Sheng Xiao to process the official documents and hand them over to him.

In order to prepare for teaching students these days, Xuanyue hardly sleeps every night, studying "Le" day and night, and asking Ming You for help when encountering words that she doesn't understand. After a few days, her literary and musical skills have improved improve.For this reason, Ming You often tapped his little head and joked: "I have never seen you so serious."

Lying on the bed every night and watching Xuanyue studying hard at the desk, a pair of beautiful eyes of different colors turned red, Mingyou couldn't help feeling distressed, calling him to come to sleep.Xuanyue seemed to be deaf to anything, she was completely engrossed in the book, her brows would be furrowed when encountering problems, and then she would relax when she suddenly became enlightened.Ming You stared blankly at the beautiful woman in the candlelight with her arms on her pillow, and lost her mind for a moment.Thinking that Xuanyue lived in the thatched cottage for some days, the two of them shared the same bed every night but never had a good time.It's not that Ming You didn't want to, but every time he got close to Xuanyue, he would open his eyes and stare at him vigilantly, making no effort to hide his anger and resistance, and Ming You could only turn over like a hungry wolf with his back and struggle to fall asleep .

"I'm going to the academy in two days, if you go there with red rabbit eyes, you will be laughed at by the students," Ming You persuaded.Only then did Xuanyue put down her book and crawl into the quilt with a chill in her body.Since he is afraid of the cold by nature, he keeps sticking to Ming You's arms, but he still warns him with a cold handsome face: "Be quiet for me."

"Injustice," Ming You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, was this clearly testing his endurance: "Obviously you sent it into my arms by yourself."

"It's not like you don't know that I'm afraid of the cold." Xuanyue was only wearing a white singlet, her cold face was buried in his chest, and his heavy and rapid heartbeat could be clearly heard in her ears.Mingyou fiddled with Xuanyue's soft hair, and a touch of sandalwood penetrated into his nose, constantly teasing his long-suppressed impulse.

No matter how you say it, we are good friends.Min You thought, restlessly reaching into Xuanyue's cuff to caress his smooth arm.

"What are you doing?" Xuanyue immediately said seriously, a strong sense of crisis and fear flooded his body like a tide, stimulating every nerve in him.Ming You just took it as his embarrassment, ignored his struggle and forcibly tore off his shirt, and crazily kissed down the fragrant muscle of Xuanyue's neck.Feeling the lingering and delicate kiss swimming wetly on her body like a snake, a powerful stimulus crazily surged into her mind, and Xuanyue raised her flushed face and bit her lip to prevent herself from moaning.In a panic, he raised his hand and gave Ming You a slap.

That slap was loud and clear, echoing horribly in the quiet thatched cottage.Ming You suddenly stopped her movements, stood up and stared blankly at Xuanyue, who was under her, who was frightened and uneasy, tightening her clothes and slowly curling up into the corner of the wall, trembling uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry..." Feeling the numbness in the palm of her hand, Xuanyue realized that she had hit Ming You, who was staring at herself blankly, her green eyes full of surprise and sadness.Xuanyue buried her face in her arms and stopped looking at him: "I... unintentionally... I have been like this since I was a child, afraid of being touched by others... somehow..."

Ming You sighed, stretched out his hand, stopped in mid-air, but still mustered up the courage to hug Xuanyue, patted his trembling back lightly as if comforting a frightened child: "It's because I was too impatient, it's all my fault , I won’t touch you in the future.” He helped Xuanyue cover the quilt and waited for him to fall asleep before turning over and rubbing his sore eyes, the urge to cry still sneaked up in his eye sockets.He took a deep breath, threw off the quilt and got out of bed, stepped out in the night with only a thin coat on, and walked into the cool breeze silently.

That night, Xuanyue had a nightmare all night.He saw his sister walking towards him in a blood-red wedding dress, with her head hanging on her chest by her limp neck, shaking from side to side.Then I dreamed that I was struggling under the pressure of the lion king. The lion king's head suddenly fell off his neck, and the blood spurted out covered himself. His gray beard was also stained with blood and mud. A pair of black lion eyes on his head stared straight at him.

Xuanyue was woken up by fright, and screamed on the bed and straightened up, breaking out in a cold sweat.It was still dark outside the window, and it was impossible to tell the time, Xuanyue reached out her hand to wake up the darkness beside her, and found herself alone in the whole room after a flustered groping.He began to call Youyou's name in fear, God knows how afraid he is of the boundless darkness of a person's face.He wanted to light a lamp, but he didn't dare to get out of bed, so he had to wrap himself tightly in the quilt.

The cold wind of winter night penetrates into the thatched cottage through the wooden windows, and the whistling of "wuwu" is like a woman's gloomy sob.

Not long after dawn, the wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and Ming You came back covered in snow, and before he could pat himself clean, a pillow was thrown straight at his face.I saw Xuanyue huddled under the quilt with only her head exposed, staring at him angrily with red eyes, "Where did you go?"

Mingyou rubbed his forehead aggrievedly, picked up the pillow on the floor and walked to the bed, "Go to the morning market outside the village, if Tianling Village has not been isolated from the outside world, I don't have to sneak away in the dark go out."

Xuanyue then asked: "What are you doing to catch the morning market?"

"It was snowing last night, and I thought of buying some things for you, which may be useful for you to go to the academy in the future." He opened the package and spread it out in front of Xuanyue to show him one by one: "Here are some winter clothes, you love Sujing, I deliberately picked a plain material; this is a rabbit fleece scarf, it won't be cold when it snows; and this thermos, put it under the quilt..." Seeing Xuanyue turn her face away and ignore it, she hurriedly asked : "Is it unsatisfactory? Whatever is bad, you don't want it."

"It's all good," Xuanyue put on her clothes and got out of bed to cook, without turning her head, she said flatly, "You don't need to be so kind to me in the future, there is nothing I can pay you back."

Buying things for him with good intentions but not getting a good face, and being ridiculed by sarcastic remarks inexplicably, Ming You naturally didn't fight, chased to the door and yelled at Xuanyue's back: "What am I trying to do to you? But how can I not give you what you want? Who do you think I am!"

Xuanyue's figure walked into the kitchen calmly, she didn't seem to waver at all, as if she didn't hear anything, footprints of different shades were silently printed on the flat snow.Later, when I was cooking, I broke a plate, and big drops of blood gushed out from my fingers and fell heavily on the ground, splashing shocking flowers.Just staring at the blood-stained fingers so coldly, a great sense of fear mixed with the cold wind in the morning surrounded him layer by layer, like a cold cage that he could not escape or break, and he curled up in the corner of the cage alone , perhaps shouldn't have the luxury of expecting someone to rescue him at all.

Maybe I've always been alone.Also only one person.
