The slightly hot breath sprinkled on the pinna, causing a tingling itch.

Jing Ke turned his head uncomfortably and said suspiciously: "But, what about your fish tail?" ”

Jiusheng's eyes flickered for a moment, and then smiled: "It's a leg, so I can go ashore and walk." ”

Jing Ke was silent for a moment and said, "It must be very painful, right?" ”

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." Jiusheng smiled with crooked eyebrows, but in Jing Ke's eyes, he was inexplicably a little sad.

Jing Ke said: "Are you looking for me to repay your kindness, so you have become like this?" ”

Jiusheng smiled: "That's right, I can't go back to the sea now, and I have nowhere to go, Engong will take me in, right?" ”

Jing Ke fell silent again.

Although Jiusheng said that it didn't hurt, Jing Ke knew that how could it not hurt if he split a fishtail into two legs?

Just for the little kindness of the year, he endured the pain and turned into a human form, left his hometown, and only relied on a name, looking for him in the vast sea of people......

Jing Ke's heart was incomprehensible, and he was silent.

Jiusheng didn't wait for a reply for a long time, his heart was uneasy, he reached out to hold Jing Ke's big hand covered with thin calluses, and said pitifully: "If Engong is unwilling to take me in, I will stay in front of your house, follow Engong from time to time, and think of repaying the grace of saving my life." ”

Jing Ke came back to his senses and said, "Since you have nowhere to go, follow me first." ”

"Great!" Jiusheng laughed, the stars twinkling in his eyes.

At this moment, Gao Yanli walked out of the shop and quipped, "Haven't finished yet?" The sun is going down. It's better to go home and wrap yourself in the quilt and say enough, so as not to stand on this street to blow the cold wind, and turn around and catch a cold again, maybe how distressed it will be. ”

Jing Ke didn't look at him, and only said aloud to the shop: "Che Ning, let's talk about it another day!" ”

Hearing the answer of "yes" in the shop, Jing Ke took Jiusheng's hand and turned to leave.

Gao Yanli laughed and scolded behind him: "The guy who is heavy on color and light on friends! ”

Jing Ke walked through the downtown with Jiusheng, through several long alleys, and came to a courtyard.

Just as he was about to push the door, the wooden door suddenly opened from the inside, and a man in cloth ran out, looked up at Jing Ke, and said with great joy: "Sir, you are finally back, the little one is about to look for you!" ”

Jing Ke said: "What's wrong?" ”

The man in cloth hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Jing Ke said to Jiusheng: "I have something important to deal with, you can rest for a while." ”

Jiusheng nodded obediently, and Jing Ke instructed Mingxin again: "This is my friend, if I want to stay in the mansion for a while, I will clean up the vacant house in the east, and then order the kitchen to make some food and send it." ”

Mingxin responded one by one, and Jing Ke went to meet the prince himself.

Mingxin led Jiusheng into the hospital, didn't ask too much, and acted according to Jing Ke's instructions.

The room was spacious and bright, spotless, no need to clean up at all, the bed was big and soft, and Jiusheng didn't want to get up again as soon as he lay down.

Although he didn't feel hard to eat and sleep all the way, if he could live comfortably, it would naturally be excellent.

Mingxin let Jiusheng rest in the room and went to prepare for food.

When he came back with the prepared food, Jiusheng was already lying on the bed and asleep, snoring slightly, and sleeping very sweetly.

Mingxin put the food on the table, and stepped forward to cover the quilt for Jiusheng, and then withdrew lightly.

***

Sending away Prince Dan, it was already dark.

Jing Ke said to Mingxin: "What about the guest I brought back?" ”

Mingxin replied: "The guest seems to be tired, and he fell asleep before eating, and the little one didn't dare to call, and he probably hasn't woken up yet." ”

Jing Ke turned around and walked towards Jiusheng's room, and as he walked, he ordered, "Make some more food and send it to the room." ”

Knowing what the heart should be, take the order and go.

There were no lights in the room, and it was pitch black.

Jing Ke cautiously pushed the door in and went straight to the bed.

Jiusheng was really still asleep, because he was lying on his side, the cloth towel covering his face slid down, revealing half of his face, which was very reverie and wanted to see the whole picture.

Jing Ke sat down on the edge of the bed, put his shoulders on his shoulders, and whispered while shaking lightly: "Jiusheng, wake up." ”

Jiusheng woke up slowly, opened his eyes and saw Jing Ke, and unconsciously laughed, his voice was slightly hoarse, and said, "Engong." ”

Jing Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he withdrew the hand resting on Jiusheng's shoulder, and said, "Let's sleep after eating?" ”

Jiusheng sat up and said, "Will Engong eat with me?" ”

Jing Ke let out a "hmm" and got up to light the fuel lamp, and the yellow light sprinkled all over the room.

Jiusheng got out of bed and saw that the food had been prepared on the table, although he couldn't name it, but he looked delicious, so he raised his hand and took off the cloth towel on his face, sat down at the table, and obediently waited for Jing Ke to sit down.

Jing Ke finished lighting the lamp, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Jiusheng looking up at him with a smile on his face, and his heartbeat that had just calmed down was out of control again.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Jing Ke has always thought that his strength is good, and many of the beauties sent by Prince Dan are stunning, and they can't make a ripple in his heart, but in the face of Jiusheng's face and those smiling eyes, he always messes up lightly, as if a hairy guy who is thirteen or fourteen years old and has just started to fall in love, and he can't stand the slightest teasing.

But there is no reason for this.

Regardless of the first encounter ten years ago, how could he have such a strong feeling when he and Jiusheng had only been together for half a day?

Could it be that he is such a shallow person, fascinated by the beauty of nine lives?

Jiusheng saw him looking at him in a daze, so he beckoned: "Engong, come and sit down." ”

Jing Ke coughed lightly, went to the table and sat down, and saw that Jiu Sheng had already picked up the wooden chopstick, so he stopped in a loud voice: "This meal is already cold, I can't eat it, I have ordered someone to make a new one, wait for a while." ”

Jiusheng obediently put down the wooden chopsticks and said with a smile: "Okay, Engong." ”

Jing Ke lowered his eyes, avoiding Jiusheng's gaze, and said, "Don't call me 'Engong' anymore, I don't feel comfortable listening to it." ”

"If Engong doesn't like it, I won't call it." Jiusheng frowned and said, "Then what am I going to call you?" It's rude not to call him by his first name. Brother Jing? It feels weird. Mr? It's too distant. Brother Jing? This is good! Both polite and affectionate. What do you think, Brother Jing? ”

Such an ordinary name, shouted out from Jiusheng's mouth, and suddenly gave birth to many side meanings.

Jing Ke drove away the nonsense in his mind and said, "Whatever you like." ”

Jiusheng smiled: "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Jing from now on." ”

Jing Ke felt a little hot, so he casually picked up the herbal tea on the table and took a sip.

A few days later, Mingxin came in with a hot meal.

Putting the new meal on the table, removing the old meal, and about to withdraw, he turned around and saw Jiusheng's face, and he was stunned for a moment.

Jing Ke was slightly displeased, and said, "Mingxin, go down." ”

Mingxin was shocked, and hurriedly exited the room.

Jing Ke said casually: "In the future, except when you are alone with me, don't take off your scarf, you know?" ”

Jiu Sheng smiled: "Okay, Brother Jing." ”

Jing Ke took the lead in picking up the wooden chopsticks and said, "Let's eat." ”

***

"It's so full!" Jiusheng sat on the back of the chair, holding his round belly, looking funny and cute.

Jing Ke said, "Do you want to go out for a walk and consume food?" ”

Jiusheng immediately responded: "Okay! Let's go! ”

Jing Ke couldn't help laughing and said, "Why do you look like you're doing anything?" ”

Jiusheng was a little embarrassed, scratched his neck, and said, "Because I'm happy." I grew up alone, without family, without friends, wandering alone, foraging for food alone, sleeping alone. But now, I am happy with you, no matter what I do, today is really the best day of my life. ”

Hearing this, Jing Ke smiled, his heart was full of pity, but he only said lightly: "Let's go, I'll take you on a night tour of Jicheng." ”

Jiusheng came over and held Jing Ke's hand.

Jing Ke's palm was thick and warm, and Jiusheng liked it very much.

After hesitating for a moment, Jing Ke held him with his backhand, only to feel that his hand was smooth and soft, like a fine brocade, and a trace of coolness spread along the palm of the touch, straight into the heart, extinguishing the fire in the heart.

The two walked hand in hand and strolled down the long street.

Jiusheng told Jing Ke about the interesting things he encountered along the way, and Jing Ke listened with a smile and interjected two sentences from time to time.

Walking to a river, the river surface is full of river lamps of different shapes, the candlelight is flickering, the water is sparkling, and it is very beautiful.

Jing Ke led him to the stone steps on the shore and sat down to enjoy the river lanterns.

Jiu Shengqi said: "Brother Jing, who put these lights?" What do you put it for? ”

Jing Ke said: "On the fifteenth day of every month, people will come to put river lanterns to mourn the dead and pray for the living. ”

Jiusheng didn't seem to understand, but he didn't ask anymore, looking at the colorful lights on the river.

Jing Ke looked at Jiusheng, who was rarely quiet, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Jiusheng was silent for a moment and said, "I'm wondering, after a long, long time, will someone put a river lantern for me." ”

Jing Ke's eyes darkened, and he didn't answer.

He wanted to say that if he was still alive at that time, he would have lit thousands of river lamps for you, and the river would flow all over the river.

However, he shouldn't have lived to that time, right?

After a while, Jing Ke finally spoke: "I'm leaving Yan Kingdom." ”

Jiusheng turned his head to look at him and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Jing Ke said: "Qin State." ”

Jiusheng didn't know where Qin Guo was, but he didn't care, "You'll take me with you, right?" ”

"Nope." Jing Ke said categorically: "I want you to stay in Yan Country and wait for me to come back." ”

Although, I may never come back.

"Don't!" Jiusheng hurriedly said: "I want to be with you." I promise to be obedient and obedient, and I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will not cause you any trouble. ”

Jing Ke's face sank like water, and he was silent.

Jiusheng continued: "Brother Jing, please, don't leave me. I just found you, and I just thought it was a good thing to be alive......"

As he spoke, Jiusheng burst into tears, and the tears condensed into beads and landed on the stone steps with a crisp sound.

If his appearance is seen by passers-by, I am afraid that he will be regarded as a monster.

In a hurry, Jing Ke reached out and took him into his arms, and Jiusheng's head was buried in his shoulder socket, blocking his tears.

Jiusheng stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, choked up, and said, "Brother Jing, take me with you...... Please...... Woohoo......"

Jing Ke was at a loss, and his heart seemed to be soaked in the sea, bitter and astringent.

He couldn't help but wonder, if Jiusheng had found him earlier, would he still agree to Prince Dan's entrustment to assassinate Qin?

Jing Ke had no answer in his heart.

Sure enough, the Assassins were not bound by bonds.

Before I set off, I hesitated in my heart, how could I make a desperate bet?

"Don't cry." Jing Ke's heart was in turmoil, but he still coaxed softly: "You let me think about it, okay?" ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Jiusheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay." ”
