Chapter 278: Between Choices

Chai Nan took a quick breath, stared at the other party without blinking for a moment.

Le Song's dark eyes were half-squinted, as if he was appreciating and playing, the most interesting thing in the world.

He leaned over to Chai Nan's ear, and in a voice that the two of them could hear, he said, "It's still okay for you to deceive your father and your brothers. ”

Chai Nan's eyes narrowed, and cold sweat oozed from behind his ears and hairline.

"It's just ridiculous that you compare me to someone who has traveled with you. ”

At this point, Le Song only left him with a mocking smile, and without half a moment's hesitation, he turned around and left.

In the huge imperial garden, only Chai Nan, who was shrouded in doubts, stood in place unable to move, deeply stunned and puzzled.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind.

No matter what Le Song is thinking, wouldn't it be a pity that such a smart person is not used for himself?

Besides, for now, I have to know that he is not an idiot.

God help me!

"Someone, prepare the carriage!"

Chai Nan instructed the guards who were waiting outside the Imperial Garden.

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

"The Marquis of Anguo's Mansion. ”

The tone is unmistakable.

……

The past is resurfaced scene by scene.

Tens of millions of times, thousands of times, Chai Nan asked himself-

If time could be turned back, that day, that afternoon, that moment, would he still go to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion?

Yes.

Each time, he replied to himself.

After all......

There, he met the first woman who made his heart flutter.

It's the only one......

There, despite Lesong's reluctance, over the years, he was taught many things that he would use all his life.

Le Song's amazing talent made him envious.

It wasn't until later that he became an official, even if he recruited the talents of the entire Song Dynasty, he couldn't catch it.

However, Le Song's cynical and self-respecting personality made him resentful and jealous.

It was also in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion that he got this "Hengshu" that changed his life.

……

"You gave me this book because...... I'm the most deserving person to get this book, right?"

Ignoring Le Song's weird smile with all his energy, Chai Nan took a deep breath and asked with a faint hope.

However, after hearing this, Le Song snorted, and couldn't help but eat and laugh: "Why do you have such a misunderstanding?"

"Why the hell?" Chai Nan's face sank.

"Contrary to what you think, you are the least qualified one. ”

Chai Nan's face was suddenly covered with a layer of gloom, and his harsh black eyes glared at Le Song: "Do you think that others are more qualified than me?"

"No, you're so much better than the other idiots. ”

"That's what I'm most qualified for. ”

Le Song did not deny, but said as if chatting: "A few days ago, I found an interesting thing. ”

The light and shadow of the window lattices slowly dissipated on the ground, and the sky turned from bright to dark.

He narrated: "A pea with a short stem and a pea with another short stem spread pollen to each other, and the mixture is only a pea with a short stem. ”

Chai Nan heard it in a fog and didn't dare to interrupt rashly.

"A white peony is mixed with another white peony, and only a white peony can be cultivated. ”

“……”

"In the same way, a white guinea pig and ......"

Le Song was talking about it, and when he turned his eyes, he found that Chai Nan looked dazed.

"Forget it," he shook his head slightly, laughing at himself, and said, "No matter how much you say, you won't understand." ”

At that moment, Chai Nan actually saw desolation and boundless loneliness in his eyes.

"Just take it as a gift. ”

With that, Le Song ignored him and buried himself again in a pile of disorganized drafts with strange patterns.

"Gifts?"

Chai Nanjian frowned slightly, desperate, and had to ask an answer: "Then why is this gift for me?"

Le Song didn't even raise his head, let alone look at him.

"You are the least qualified of the gift-givers," he said, writing quickly, "but you are the only one who is qualified to me, the giver of gifts." ”

This is said upside down.

Chai Nan couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask again: "The giver, what do you want in return?"

"Not in return. ”

Le Song stopped his pen and looked up at Chai Nan: "It's the price." ”

"The price?"

"Every gift in the world has a price code. ”

Hearing this, Chai Nan suddenly felt at ease.

It is the gratuitous favor that makes it impossible for him not to be on guard. There is a price code, and the real price is clear, but you can rest assured.

"At what cost?"

"You can't pester my sister anymore, even if you meet. ”

Lest he couldn't hear clearly, Le Song replied word by word.

Chai Nan's dark eyes shrank suddenly, and said, "No!"

His body trembled slightly because of the other party's words.

Can't see Lemay again?

Even if it's just a little imagination, my heart can't help but tremble.

"I don't say yes!"

He frowned and said seriously.

"Really?" Le Song asked playfully.

Chai Nan stepped forward, put the book of "Hengshu" on his bookcase, and said sincerely: "I'll return the book to you, I don't want this gift, okay?"

The tone, almost pleading.

"Hahaha!" Le Song laughed for a while: "Why do you still have it? ”

"I'm sincere to Ame!"

Chai Nan's eyes did not carry a trace of hypocrisy.

At least, until that moment, he felt that he meant it.

"I'll marry her, only one of her!" He put his hand on the edge of the bookcase, his heart was anxious, and he couldn't help but exert his strength, and the rosewood was about to leave a handprint: "I won't marry anyone else, I'm only good to her......"

"There's a way you can get this book back. ”

Le Song said indifferently.

"What's the solution?"

As if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving rope, Chai Nan asked in a trembling voice: "You say, what is the way?"

"I'll give this book to other highnesses, whether it's the Great Highness, the Third Highness, or the Fourth Highness," Le Song stared at him intently: "Or, one for each person?" Even, if I'm in a good mood, the one for them will be more exciting than the one you've read......

"No!"

Chai Nan didn't have time to think, so he stretched out his hand, grabbed the book, and blurted out: "Don't!"

But when he came back to his senses, he realized his actions, and was silent for a moment.

"Heh," Le Song sneered, "Your sincerity ......"

Chai Nan was silent, it was a silence that could not be refuted.

"But that's it. ”

Be.

That's true.

Chai Nan was annoyed and ashamed...... Inexplicably, I feel unspeakably sad.

In the silence, I could hear the sound of a woman crying behind the four door screens carved from rosewood.

He was frightened, as if he had been stabbed by many sharp needles at the same time, and his whole body was numb.

With the last of his strength, he pushed the screen away with trembling hands.

Sure enough, it was her.
