"Second Young Master, there is indeed a new little man in the Jade Tower, called Forget Xiao. This person is said to have been originally a servant of the Weiguo Mansion, I don't know what happened, it was the eldest son of the Duke of Wei who was sent to the Jade Mansion yesterday. The butler stood behind the young man, bowed and said, secretly surprised in his heart how the young master could not be a prophet.

"I know," Yang Yu looked at the ledger for a moment, his voice was as calm as water, and he didn't seem to be surprised, "You go down first." ”

The housekeeper was stunned, but he didn't dare to say anything, although this young master was not the master's biological son, no one had ever dared to disobey him. His temperament is slightly cold, and his faint eyes, no matter who he looks at, he will make people feel like a man on his back, like falling into an ice cellar, and a wisp of chill rises from the bottom of his heart.

I don't dare to say it, but it doesn't mean that I won't think about it in my heart, I told again and again before, and I finally found someone, but this master is not in a hurry?

[Ding - Now that the target has appeared, the host should do its best to remove the target, complete the task, and enter the next world. 】

Yang Yu said lightly: "You already knew, right?" ”

The system is playing dumb: [What do you know?] 】

"It's still Suyi."

The system quibbled: [Ding - This matter is purely coincidental, now that the side quest has been completed, please do your best to remove the main quest objective. 】

Yang Yu didn't pay attention to the system, just read the book, and when the candle was lit by the next person, he didn't realize it. The flickering candlelight was reflected in the empty room, and I didn't realize it in the past, but today I suddenly felt empty, a little more cold.

Stood up and moved, pushed open the window, the cold wind passed through the corridor, and the extremely slight sound of breaking wind was mixed in, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it clearly, Yang Yu was a little distracted, so he missed the opportunity, and when he reacted, a cold arrow had already grazed his neck and flew over, and the sound of "Du" was inserted into the wooden wall behind him, and half of the arrow body was not in it, which showed the great force and the fierce momentum.

"Who?!"

Yang Yu rushed out of the house, but the night was dark, and the dead branches that had fallen leaves were shaking in the cold wind, and nothing else could be seen. He stood for a moment, looked up, and saw that the starlight was dim, and the moonlight was nowhere to be seen.

"I've heard a long time ago that the eldest young master is coming to Jinyang, have you ever mentioned a specific time?" In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Yu asked the housekeeper casually. Although he is the adopted son of the Gu family, the name of the Gu family has always been according to the subordinates. The eldest young master is Gu Jinbao's only son, his name is Gu Caisheng, the same as "Caisheng", a merchant family, he always seeks such an auspicious name, and he is afraid that he will lose his literary temperament.

The second young master asked normally, but a layer of sweat oozed from the housekeeper's forehead, who didn't know that the eldest young master and the second young master had been at odds for a long time? Although the second young master didn't say it, he probably knew it. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but cautiously replied: "Back to the second young master, the eldest young master...... The eldest young master came to Jinyang the day before yesterday......" Yang Yu raised his head and glanced at it coldly, and the housekeeper immediately shuddered and said, "The eldest and eldest young master came here without the old lady, and the old slave only got the news today......

Rubbing his forehead, Yang Yu said, "Go down." ”

Gu Caisheng looked at him unpleasantly—yes, he had a lot of reasons to see him unhappy. As early as when he was in the Chu State, Gu Caisheng had poisoned his food, and he was still in the mission period at that time, so he just pretended not to know after he found out, but he didn't expect that such an act would fuel Gu Caisheng's arrogance.

Seriously, he was not interested in the Gu family's wealth at all. I used to be alone, living alone in the dark, and after coming to the Gu family, I could still have the energy to deal with it at first, but after a long time, I felt tired.

[Ding - Actually, don't be discouraged by the host, you've just been away from the crowd for too long, so you will feel uneasy and helpless to live in the crowd suddenly, but as long as it's ......]

"Shut up."

The system is good at inducing: [Since the host doesn't like to get along with people, it's better to end this task quickly so that you can move on to the next one.] 】

Yang Yu paused to hold the pen, and suddenly became a little confused: Since he didn't like to stay in the Gu family, why didn't he end the task earlier? It was very complicated in his heart, but he didn't really want to recognize them all.

Boredom chuckled: "You're right, I've just been away from the crowd for too long, in fact, if you think about it carefully, I've been bored for too long in the past, and it's new to change the living environment and way of life once in a while." ”

After the winter solstice, Yang Yu met Gu Caisheng for the first time in Jinyang. That day, Gu Caisheng suddenly invited him to play in Xuansheng Lake, the surface of Xuansheng Lake in winter is always covered with a layer of white mist, hazy with the unique beauty and mystery of Jiangnan water town, attracting many literati and, and naturally there are also vassals and elegant laymen like Gu Caisheng.

There is a nine-curved corridor on the lake, the pavilion that leads to the middle of the lake in a zigzag way, this pavilion is called "self-hiding pavilion", it is taken by Liu Changshi, a master of ancient literature, which means "the god of the saint is virtuous, far away from the turbidity world and self-hidden". With such an allusion, people always have to go to the pavilion when they come to the lake, and get a dip in the sage's pure air.

Yang Yu followed Gu Caisheng half a step behind, there was no respect or disdain in his expression, he was indifferent and calm, as if he didn't see anything in his eyes. The butler was also half a step behind him, but he did not dare to look up at him, and every time he looked at this young man, he felt a little afraid, and he did not know why.

Walking two songs on the corridor, suddenly heard the sound of the piano in the pavilion, Yang Yu did not understand the guqin, only knew that the music was very beautiful in the ears, he suddenly moved in his heart for some reason, as if he had a feeling, raised his eyes to look at the pavilion, only to see three people in the pavilion, one of them sat on the side of the pavilion to play the piano, dressed in white and snow, the north wind was cold, blowing his green silk dance, his clothes fluttered, as if he was not in the mortal world in the next moment.

At this moment, one of the two people standing went to play the person who played the harp, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. The man who played the piano struggled, but the other man twisted his hands behind him, and the man who pulled him grabbed the placket of his shirt with both hands, and pulled it so hard that his smooth skin □□ into the air.

Yang Yu's heart tightened, and he didn't have time to think about why he suddenly came to the court, his body had already rushed through the corridor quickly, and when he came to the pavilion, a fist landed on the back of the neck of the person who was facing away from him, and the person immediately collapsed limply. Without cover, Yang Yu raised his head and met Su Yi's dark eyes.

The weather was cold, Su Yi's upper body was □□ in the air, and he remembered that when I first saw him, I thought he was in good shape, but after three worlds, he was so thin that he couldn't do it. His skin was frozen pale, like a fragile piece of white paper, as if it could be broken at any moment, but after a brief moment of surprise, he smiled softly with bloodless lips and sighed, "Three times." ”

Three times...... Three times what? Saved him three times?

Yang Yu couldn't help but think of his dazzling smile in the cave, and also remembered his helpless and desolate self-deprecation on the edge of the cliff, and his heart suddenly hurt, as if he had been pierced with countless invisible and untouchable needles, which hurt finely and densely.

The other two people in the pavilion were the young masters of the Chen and Li families, Yang Yu stunned one, and the other came back to his senses after being stunned, taking advantage of Yang Yu's lack of action, he wanted to preemptively struck Yang Yu to the ground, Yang Yu came back to his senses, pinched his neck, and lifted his head from himself.

Young Master Chen couldn't breathe, his face gradually turned red, and began to turn purple again, looking at Yang Yu's eyes full of fear, this fear Yang Yu didn't know how many times he had seen it, but this time it made him feel upset for no reason, and he slammed the person to the ground, shouting: "Get out!" ”

Young Master Chen covered his throat and panted, Yang Yu took off the cloak on his body and wrapped Su Yi, Su Yi was very frozen, his eyes were a little sluggish, and his body couldn't hold it down, so he had to hold him in his arms. However, at this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his head: [Ding - Aware ......]

Yang Yu's eyes sank, and he immediately took out the dagger from his boots and slashed his arms. His hands hung weakly, and the dagger fell to the ground with a "bell", mixed with dripping blood, and knocked on his heart with a sound.

Yang Yu woke up suddenly—why did he do this?

"Why are you there?" The night was deep, Yang Yu sat at the table, looking at the young man who was slowly drinking medicine on the bed, his eyes flickering in the dim candle flame, deep and shallow, and he couldn't see it really.

Su Yi made a move, but the hand holding the medicine bowl suddenly trembled a little, if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see it clearly, continued to bow his head and drink the medicine, and said lightly: "The little guy in the Jade Building, the guest has paid, so he naturally has to go." ”

Yang Yu suddenly regretted asking this question. If it weren't for this disaster, he would still be a handsome boy with wide sleeves and light fur, who would be romantic and beautiful. Who knew that once he was down, the gentlemen he despised in the past could come to spoil him......

"You ......"

"Actually, you don't have to think too much, there's nothing wrong with me," Su Yi's tone suddenly became lighter, "I used to be famous, and no one dares to touch me now...... It's okay to get by, anyway, it's not me Su Yi now, it's just Su Xiao, the son of a down-and-out scholar, and it's good to be twenty-three. Moreover, I am no stranger to men and men......"

Yang Yu was shocked, raised his head and looked at him silently, only to see him put down the medicine bowl and recall it very seriously, but his expression couldn't help but bring a little sadness and desolation, obviously it was still the same smile, but suddenly there was a little more ridicule: "I don't know why, I can't remember the things in the past, probably because my body has deteriorated, and even my memory is poor, but I don't want to remember, but I remember it more clearly than anything else...... When I was in junior high school, I found out that what I liked was a man, and I was very afraid at that time, the Su family had a big business, and the three generations were in the same house, and the old man valued reputation more than anything else. My father was just the illegitimate son of an old man, and he was ostracized a lot at home, so he put all his expectations on me. ”

"I didn't dare to say it, so I had to hide it, so I went to study in Europe and had a lover, a Western boy. But unexpectedly, this matter was discovered by his parents. In the past, my parents who loved me the most were afraid that my grandfather would know about it, so they secretly sent me to the local psychiatric hospital and let me undergo compulsory treatment......" Su Yi's voice was still calm, soft, faint, but it was more poignant than any indignant voice. He paused, and during that time, he said, "Later, I returned to China and took over my grandfather's company by any means they wanted, and then later, I ...... Killed ......"

Speaking of the last sentence, Su Yi's voice suddenly hesitated, Yang Yu stared at him fiercely, only to see him frown and think for a moment, and then laughed softly: "I haven't told anyone about these things, I always thought it didn't matter for a long time, but now it seems that I still have a deep grudge." During that time, I thought about dying more than once, but fortunately I was accompanied by Grandma Zhao...... Grandma Zhao has been my nanny since I was a child, but on the day I died, she also died and was shot by a C1ST. ”

Yang Yu's heart moved, and he remembered that the gun he used was also C1ST.

Something that had been there before suddenly had an answer. Although he can't imagine what Su Yi has done, he can understand the helplessness. All the strength needs to be tempered to have, the heart is hot first, and then it will become cold little by little, and the taste of this coldness is probably only known by yourself.

So he was, so he was.

"Okay, you asked, I answered, and I answered in such detail, it's time for me to ask," Su Yi said, his eyes fell on Yang Yu's bandaged arm, with obvious dazedness and a slight thoughtfulness in his eyes, "I ask you, why did you do that?" ”
