The two stood in each other's arms, and for a while they couldn't help but look at each other carefully, as if they wanted to get rid of all the strangeness brought by parting, and they were as familiar as before. It wasn't until the hooked koi flicked its tail in the pond and brought the idle fishing rod into the lake, making a soft noise and slapping the waves, that the two came to their senses.

With the aura of a best friend all over his body, Li Hui realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his current posture. is a reunion after a long absence, and such a close and somewhat affectionate behavior is also a bit unreasonable. So, he couldn't help but break away from Wang Zixian's arms and said with a smile: "Where did you learn the etiquette?" Why don't I know that when my friends have seen each other for a long time, they can still salute like this to show their thoughts? ”

"Nature is the etiquette of the Hu people." Wang Zixian replied calmly, as if what he had just done was just a moment of excitement, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, "It's just because I'm too happy to see you, so I'm a little forgetful for a while." The taste of hugging a loved one was so touching that he almost completely immersed himself in it, revealing his flaws. It's a pity that the time is still too short, and before he has time to savor it, the temperature in his arms has already been lost.

"Haven't you ever seen the Hu people?" Li Hui seemed to be smiling. There are many Hu people in Chang'an City, especially near the West Market, where there are many Hu wealthy merchants, and the various shops and restaurants in the West Market are also quite Western style. Because Yankang Fang is next to the West Market, almost thirty percent of the pedestrians who come and go in the square every day are Hu people with high noses and deep eyes, and he is naturally no stranger to Hu customs. For a long time, he had never seen Hu people hug each other when they met.

"How can the Hu people of Chang'an and the Hu people of Yizhou and Guangzhou be generalized?" Wang Zixian curled the corners of his mouth, "I was quite surprised when I first met them, but after getting acquainted with them, I felt that this seemed to be good. Since it is a friend of life and death who entrusts his life, he has often slept together, so why should he care about any measure and etiquette? When others are around, they may have to take care of the demeanor of a gentleman's friend, but in private, they don't have to be so restrained. ”

"After all these years, you have really changed. In the past, you were personable with every gesture and gesture, how could you not care about etiquette and proportion? Li Hui shook his head and sighed, turned around and picked up the fishing rod that was about to be dragged away, and released the koi trapped on the hook.

"Xu is influenced by Mr." The prince replied, standing beside him, "I used to be too restrained. I've always felt that I should be closer to you, but I don't know what to do. Now I've finally figured it out - just do it casually and calmly, isn't it? ”

Li Hui thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "It's okay for me, but I'm just a little unaccustomed to it for a while." It's just that you are so casual, but it may not be appropriate in the eyes of others. A man of a distempered temperament may easily gain a good reputation among scribes, but he is easily constrained in officialdom. The old foxes are most happy to see that they are still from a famous family, who is both talented and strategic, and pragmatic. ”

"In front of them, I am naturally still the impeccable son of the Langya Wang. What they see will only be the younger generation they are most happy to see. Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows, "My true temperament does not necessarily need to be revealed in the eyes of everyone. As long as you and your husband accept it, it will be enough. Now, he finally found the most suitable opportunity to slowly reveal his other side.

If it has always been a beautiful prince, how can you logically show your obsession with your best friend? How can you test the other party through all kinds of intimate actions, so that he can gradually accept himself? How can you find the right time to confess the affection in your heart?

There are also dark ruthlessness and trickery hidden deep in his heart, the deception of him when they met, and the ridiculous ambitions of the Yang family and the Wang family, all of which must be gradually known to him. Otherwise, sooner or later, these will all become flaws that affect the relationship between them. If the enemy is made known, it may even alienate their friendship, make them suspicious, and even turn friends into enemies.

He must take it slowly, and must not arouse Li Hui's doubts, let alone scare him away. However, although it seemed that there was still a long time for him to plan, the emotions surging in his heart kept reminding him that he had waited too long, and that he could not wait. The passion that was running through his blood made him unsure how long he could endure it.

After a while, Aliu personally led the maidservants to bring a variety of delicacies and wine that had just been opened. In the midst of the aroma of wine, Li Hui personally poured wine for the prince, and the amber wine rippled slightly in the white jade cup, which reflected the lights next to him and the starlight outside.

The prince lowered his eyes and sighed lightly: "This is what I brewed back then?" ”

"Of course, I'm waiting for you to come back and drink it again, and this is the first time I've tasted it." Li Hui held up the white jade cup and said with a smile: "Come, drink this cup full, it can be regarded as catching the wind and washing the dust for you!" With that, he threw his head back and drank, a trace of wine spilling from his lips and winding down, hidden within his slender neck.

Wang Zixian narrowed his eyes slightly, drank all the wine in one gulp, and said softly: "Good wine ......" Then, he took the wine jar and poured another glass for Li Huiman: "Xuanqi, since today is to wash the dust for me, you don't have to be rigid anymore." How do you feel about having a good drink and getting drunk? The hint of wine seemed to arouse more secret thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to see more and more indulgent side of his beloved. Therefore, knowing that the other party is not good at drinking, he still wants to keep persuading him to drink until he is drunk.

"Of course, I am really happy to meet you again today, and I should have a good drink!" Li Hui immediately ordered Ah Liu to take out all the good wine stored on weekdays and line them up. He patted the wine jars boldly, raised his eyebrows and laughed: "If we don't drink all these wines, you and I won't get up and leave, what's the matter?" ”

"Good!" Wang Zixian laughed loudly and raised his glass again.

"Speaking of which, I received a letter from you two days ago saying that I wanted to go to Shangzhou by the way, why did you go back to Chang'an first?"

"From Shangzhou to Chang'an, it's only a few hours. After leaving the Qinling Mountains, I always feel that you and I are already close at hand, and I really can't wait—so instead of rushing to meet them, I should come back to see you first, so as to comfort the thoughts in my heart. Why, aren't you surprised? ”

"Pleasantly surprised, of course. I've been living in a vine garden these days, and I've thought that maybe your itinerary has changed and I'll go back to Beijing early. Unexpectedly, such an idea can come true. Come, for you and my heart, drink to win! ”

"'The heart has a soul', heh, drink to win!"

After tasting the wine, Li Hui opened a jar of Yingzhou rich water, and the clear wine carried the fragrance of rice grain, which was very tempting: "Wait, you actually left Mr. Song alone in Shangzhou?" …… How are you going to appease him afterwards? "He had never heard of the disciple who left his husband on the road and went ahead of himself—

The prince shook his head and smiled: "Sir is temporarily living in the Zhuangzi left by my mother. The journey was tiring, and he should rest for a few days before setting out. Don't worry, my husband has always been a reasonable person and will not blame me. What's more, in a day or two, I will rush back and accompany him to Shangzhou. ”

Li Hui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I always feel that the Mr. Song in your mouth and the Mr. Song I know don't seem to be the same person." ”

Wang Zixian replied with a smile: "Sir is the temperament of an old naughty boy, and he has always had different hearts, so there is no need to pay too much attention to his words. Mr. Song watched him ride away with his own eyes, but he was just chattering behind him. Probably no one knows better than Mr. how much he cares about this person who is far away in Chang'an for more than two years. Therefore, the gentleman should know better than anyone else the excitement and urgency of his rush to the ground.

In the octagonal pavilion, the two drank wine and talked and laughed happily, as if they had never been separated. In the midst of the laughter, the slight strangeness caused by separation gradually disappears, and they rediscover the intimacy and tacit understanding of the past—nay, perhaps even more intimate than before.

In the hazy drunken eyes, Li Hui vaguely saw a swaying and approaching figure, followed by a warm body that was heavily pressed on his body. His mind was already very confused, and he didn't have much strength in his body, but he vaguely felt that his best friend's face was pressed against his chest, and he seemed to be laughing low. He vaguely felt that although this posture was very gaffe, he didn't seem to resent such closeness, but felt a little relieved.

In a dizziness, he suddenly became a little curious: "...... Zi Xian...... Why laugh? ”

"Because my heart rejoices...... It's too much joy...... "Wang Zixian slowly raised his head and looked at the drunken young man below him—no, his beloved was no longer just a thin young man. Not only is he the same size as him, but his martial arts practice has created a seemingly slender but powerful body, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and just the right amount of muscle ups and downs. He was a little surprised, but at the same time he felt that it was expected. And, no matter what he became, he was still the only one in his heart, which only made him more obsessed.

"See you...... I'm also very happy......" Li Hui said in a low voice, and finally got completely drunk.

Seeing this, Wang Zixian couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, glanced at Ah Liu and the maidservants who were waiting outside, and calmly ordered: "Prepare hot water, you don't have to worry, I will bathe with Xuan Qi." Don't forget to make some decanting soup, and I'll feed him it so he doesn't wake up tomorrow with a headache. ”

Ah Liu had never seen his own county king drunk and frowned with some concern. Of course, she also knows that the master has never liked others to be close when he bathes and changes clothes, and he doesn't like the maids around him to cross the line. Compared with the people who served him, this Wang Langjun was different in the end. I don't know how many times they've slept together, bathing together—probably, should, probably, okay? In any case, it is better than having a maid or servant to serve you.

So, she had to salute and say, "I'm tired of Wang Langjun taking care of the king." ”

Wang Zixian carried Li Hui on his back, and just smiled when he heard the words: "It's an honor." In his heart, some people laughed and said: I can't ask for it.
