Realizing that the voice came from Li Chengjing, Zheng Ling hurriedly turned around, but before he could take a step away, his wrist was tightly grabbed, preventing him from leaving, so Zheng Ling struggled to let him go.

Before Li Chengjing went to see him, he stretched out his other hand and handed over a tael of silver to the stall owner: "You don't need to look for it anymore."

The stall owner was so happy that he could see his teeth but not his eyes. After hiding the money in his bosom, he took a few more masks from the shelf and handed them to Li Chengjing.

Li Chengjing only took the red face mask and gave it to Zheng Ling.

Zheng Ling took the mask and looked at it, then raised his head to look at Li Chengjing, back and forth twice, and then returned it to him.

Li Chengjing didn't take it, but dragged Zheng Ling with his backhand to the empty alley.

Feeling the increased strength of the wrist, Zheng Ling had no choice but to let him pull it, but he was guessing Li Chengjing's intention in his heart.

After walking to the deepest part of the alley, Li Chengjing let go of Zheng Ling.

Zheng Ling held the mask in his left hand and swung his wrist with his right hand. During the period, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Chengjing. Unexpectedly, his eyes collided with the opponent. Zheng Ling's heart shuddered. Just as he was about to stagger away, Li Chengjing forcefully straightened his chin , forcing him to look at him.

Staring at the clear eyes of the young man, Li Chengjing frowned tightly, doubts came one after another.He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he saw the boy turn around and wanted to leave him, he pulled his wrist without thinking. Before his doubts were solved, he didn't want to let him go, especially The closer you get to a teenager, the stronger the feeling of déjà vu.

After a moment of silence, Li Chengjing let go of his hand and asked him, "Have we met before?"

Zheng Ling was stunned for a moment, then pointed in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looked at him and replied, "I met you at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion just now."

Li Chengjing tried to see the clue from the young man's eyes, but the other party's expression was very natural.

But only Zheng Ling knew that at this moment, his heart was already beating nervously, and his palms were sweating a little.Fortunately, after a while, Li Chengjing glanced away.Seeing that he didn't speak, Zheng Ling asked him carefully and softly: "Young master, can I go?"

Li Chengjing didn't seem to hear his question, just stared at him, neither nodded nor shook his head, and didn't give any response.

Zheng Ling knew that the longer he stayed, the more lies he would show, so he didn't stay any longer, and walked around Li Chengjing's body.

Just when he was about to run fast, Li Chengjing stopped him: "Wait a minute."

Zheng Ling paused, breaking out in a cold sweat.Now he is as flustered as a first-time thief who sneaked into someone's mansion while the owner was away, and heard the door open before he succeeded.

Zheng Ling pinched the mask and asked, "Young master...but what else do you want to ask?"

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Zheng Ling's heart almost jumped into his throat, and his breathing was a little short.Did he discover something?

Standing two steps behind Zheng Ling, Li Chengjing asked him again: "What's your name?" His tone sounded very flat.

Zheng Ling's heart relaxed, his eyes began to roll around, and he wanted to make up a fake name to fool him, but Li Chengjing, like a roundworm in his stomach, took a step forward and added: "Real name."

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Ling finally said, "Zheng Ling."

Li Chengjing walked up to him and asked, "Which word?"

Zheng Ling knew what he was asking, so he replied, "A domineering Ling."

"Domineering?" Li Chengjing sized him up for a while, then commented, "It's not like that at all."

Zheng Ling didn't answer.Just when he thought that Li Chengjing was going to have a casual conversation with him, Li Chengjing raised his chin at him, indicating that he could go.

Zheng Ling's expression was slightly startled, and he asked him a little woodenly: "Can I really go?"

Li Chengjing turned sideways and said in a casual tone: "Please go ahead."

Holding the mask tightly, Zheng Ling glanced sideways at him, then took a few steps outside, but stopped again, turned around and raised the mask in his hand to Li Chengjing, raised a smile and said, "This, thank you." Said After that, he turned back and ran away.

Thinking that this might be the last time they met, Zheng Ling smiled as he ran, not letting himself cry.

Looking at the person who turned around and disappeared, Li Chengjing changed his leisurely attitude just now, and his eyes drooped dimly, with indescribable sadness.You don't want to recognize me, and it's inconvenient for me to force you.

Zheng Ling, who ran into the crowd, stopped slowly, stared at the mask in his hand, and thought about the person who gave it to him. After a long time, he made up his mind and turned around and ran back to the alley.

When he returned there, several people passed by in the alley, but none of them were the person he was looking for.

Zheng Ling ran to the intersection with a mask on, anxiously looking around in the busy streets, and asked about Jin Fenghuang, Jin Fenghuang checked, but before he could tell, someone ran over, bent over , leaning on his knees and panting, "Brother... you ran... really fast!"

Zheng Ling recognized this person as the stall owner who sold the mask. After the stall owner calmed down, he asked him, "Are you looking for the young man who gave you the mask?"

Zheng Ling nodded quickly: "Do you know where he is?"

The stall owner turned his head and pointed in the direction: "I saw him going to that fork in the road..." Before finishing speaking, Zheng Ling thanked him and ran in the direction of his finger.

The stall owner shook his head and smiled.It seems that regardless of gender, this young man likes to play the game of chasing me and chasing you.

Passing by countless people, Zheng Ling said "I'm sorry" while staring straight ahead, not missing anyone with similar stature.

Finally, I found him.Zheng Ling ran behind him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Chengjing turned around, and at the moment when he saw Zheng Ling, his eyes were a little dull, and his mouth was stammering: "You...I...I..."

Zheng Ling looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't like to owe favors to others. I thought about it. Since you gave me this mask, I have to give you something in return. Tell me, what do you think of me?" Thank you."

After a while, Li Chengjing said with tears in his eyes: "It's not that you owe me a favor, it's that I owe you a promise. I promised you that I would play with you all day. I thought I would never have this chance again."

This time it was Zheng Ling who was dumbfounded: "Why..." I guessed it.

Li Chengjing hugged him tightly, ignoring the strange eyes of passers-by around him.In fact, it's easy to guess. For the person on the tip of his heart, he is very familiar with his every move, every frown and every smile. It belongs to the kind of familiarity that trembles the soul. Coupled with the peach blossoms all over the sky and the red paper that appeared out of thin air, Not anymore.

Li Chengjing took Zheng Ling back to live in the mansion. Although Zheng Ling told him that he could only stay here for three days, he was already satisfied.

During these three days, Li Chengjing stayed with Zheng Ling all the time.Except for the imperial palace, Li Chengjing took him around the inside and outside of the capital, the streets and alleys.

Li Chengjing always thought that he was satisfied, but when they parted, he was still greedy. He wanted to be with Zheng Ling for the rest of his life.

"stay."

Li Chengjing tightly hugged Zheng Ling reluctantly, tears welled up in their eyes.

Feeling that the person in his arms was gradually disappearing, Li Chengjing finally said what he was holding back in his heart: "I like you." What was left to him was the warmth of his cheeks.

With his arms empty, Li Chengjing lowered his head and wept silently.

One year later, the current emperor stood side by side as the empress. As for the imperial concubine Tantai and her mother's family, they were uprooted due to changes in the court situation.

On this day, Tan Tairui, who was sentenced to exile, left the capital. Outside the city, Li Chengjing looked up at the sky.

Seeing him, Tan Tairui said a few words to the officer in charge of guarding him, and after getting his consent, he walked up to Li Chengjing and said to him, "Thank you for pleading for me." Fortunately, this Li Chengjing is the empress' elder brother, otherwise Will definitely be implicated.

Li Chengjing came back to his senses and shook his head: "I was just entrusted by others."

Tan Tairui was a little surprised, and asked: "Who is that person?"

Li Chengjing only said, "You don't know him."

Tantai Rui couldn't think of who that person would be.But since Li Chengjing didn't want to say it, he didn't ask any more questions, but thanked him silently in his heart, and then said to Li Chengjing, "Thank you." Given his current situation, there was nothing he could do to repay him.

Don't pass Li Chengjing, Tan Tairui continues to set off, ten miles long pavilion, someone dressed in red has been waiting for a long time...
