thirty-three

After careful calculation, this is the sixth day of Changsheng's departure.

Chu Liuxiang leaned lazily on the side of the bed in Li Sanniang's small inn room, carrying a pot of wine in his hand and sipping lightly, boredly counting the days when Ye Changsheng was separated from him. His current appearance is still as handsome and charming as ever, which makes many women still fall in love with him when they see him, but there is always a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows.

Since that day, he stood alone in a daze for a long time, and then rode Dabai, walking around aimlessly with one person and one horse, who knew that he went around in circles, and he returned to the original small inn without paying attention.

Although Li Sanniang was a little surprised at that time, when she saw that he came back alone, she naturally cared about the whereabouts of her little baby who liked her like a godson. When she learned that her little baby was taken away by her own guards, she complained about Chu Liuxiang for a long time, blaming him for not following him, and at the same time she was very sad, and she was looking forward to the child coming back to see her day and night.

"If you want me to say, Xiangshuai, you should really follow me at that time, what if that guard doesn't take care of you?" Li Sanniang remembered this incident again today, and couldn't help but start muttering, and began to count down his no.

Chu Liuxiang listened to her nagging good-naturedly, and smiled softly: "I'm an outsider after all, even if I follow the past, what can I do." He shook the wine in his hand, not knowing who he was talking to.

These words were heard by Hu Tiehua, who was also drinking on the side, he had just come back from a friend a few days ago, so he asked him to drink, who knew that the little master had already left first, thinking about the little guy's well-behaved and interesting appearance, he was also a little reluctant.

However, he only regretted it a little, and it turned out that his old friend was nesting in this inn all day long, sighing and worrying, and he had lost all the proud and suave appearance he had at the beginning.

He listened to the conversation between the two while drinking, and couldn't help but laugh: "Old bug, when did you become so cringe, you didn't like to find reasons like this before." ”

Chu Liuxiang smiled and didn't answer his words, but added some wine to the cup.

Hu Tiehua saw that he didn't care about himself, and glanced at him again. Sneered: "I say, look at you now, just like those women who always like to worry about it!" The little master has his own guards to follow, and there is still a large group of maids and maids waiting, so you need to worry about this and that? That's a real phoenix egg flying out of a golden nest. If you want me to say, he didn't go all the way with us, and it was good for him to leave. ”

"Besides, if you really can't bear him, won't you catch up with him? Your skin is always very thick, I haven't seen you blush before, why are you lying here now drinking and not talking half-dead, boring. ”

"Hu Daxia, don't hurt me anymore, didn't you say that you want to drink with me, and the wine can't stop your mouth. I think you don't want to let down Sanniang's wine, be careful that she throws you out. Chu Liuxiang lightly opened the topic and drank all the wine in his hand.

Only when he chats nonsense with Hu Tiehua like this, can he feel a little more comfortable. Because in the dead of night, there are always some thoughts that come to the surface, like a tide.

The meaning of Changsheng to him has long been not a teenager who met in Pingshui, although it has only been more than two months, but it seems to have left a deep imprint in Te's life, and this feeling seems to far exceed the boundaries of ordinary friends. At least, if Hu Tiehua or some other friend left him, he wouldn't be so worried all the time.

When the two of them were together before, he didn't feel that after they separated, this kind of missing became more and more powerful.

Especially in the middle of the night, when he can't sleep alone, he will lie in bed and start worrying.

For example, where did Changsheng probably go today, whether he was tired on the road, whether he ate well, whether he slept well, whether he had a cold, whether that Tianjia could take good care of people, and whether he would stand on the side of the street and get separated from him again and then meet people with bad intentions.

Such a thought simply cannot be had, because once you start, it is difficult to stop. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Changsheng was not doing well outside, and he couldn't help but want to chase after him and bring people back.

Chu Liuxiang took out the candy man he bought that day from his arms, he actually didn't like sweets very much, so he didn't move after buying it that day. At that time, he also joked with Changsheng that he would use this as a thought when they were separated in the future, who knew that it would not be long before the two of them were really separated, and the joke at that time has now become true.

Because the sugar man has been in his arms for a long time, his original bright color has begun to fade, but he can still see his facial features clearly, and the little pockmarks on his face are still so cute.

The corners of Chu Liuxiang's mouth were lightly raised, her eyes were gentle, and she reached out and touched the little sugar man's face with nostalgia, imagining that if Changsheng was still in front of him, he would also give him a stupid smile at this moment, and then call him Brother Chu softly and in a low voice.

Hu Tiehua looked at his expression and made a ghostly expression: "Old bedbug, your expression is really disgusting now." ”

Chu Liuxiang ignored him, still lowered his head and fiddled with the little sugar man in his hand, feeling a little annoyed in his heart why he didn't let the old man pinch it more expressively at that time, so that he could look more carefully.

Seeing that he ignored his love as if he had lost his soul, Hu Tiehua sighed: "The way you look, you want me to misunderstand that you are in love with that little master." ”

"Love?" Chu Liuxiang raised his head and groaned slightly, and finally gave him a reaction, "You think so?" ”

Hu Tiehua was originally just complaining nonsense, but seeing that he was really thinking seriously, he said in horror: "You, don't you really like that little master?" ”

"He's only sixteen! Sixteen years old! You can be his dad at your age! Hu Tiehua shouted, and reached out and patted the table.

Chu Liuxiang sighed with a headache: "I know, don't talk about it." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the candy man again, then stuffed it back into his sleeve, took the flask to the side, and began to drink silently one glass after another.

――――――――

At the same time, Ye Changsheng, who had been thinking about Chu Liuxiang, was squatting on the side of the road, spitting out a few small buns he had eaten in the morning with a pale face. Tianjia was so anxious that he was sweating on the side, and while handing the kettle, he wiped his cold sweat. , from time to time I have to pat him on the back to give him a smooth breath.

It may be that the buns I bought in the morning were a little not very fresh, and the carriage was bumpy along the way, so Ye Changsheng, who was usually taken care of too finely, couldn't stand it, and couldn't hold it until half an hour, so he jumped out of the car and ran to the side of the road after shouting to stop, and covered his stomach while vomiting.

"Young master, drink some water." Tianjia looked at him distressedly and couldn't vomit anything, but he still looked uncomfortable, and said guiltily.

He was too careless, he didn't expect that the bun opposite the inn could also have problems, and let the young master suffer such a big crime in vain.

Ye Changsheng took the kettle and rinsed his mouth weakly, looked at the expression on Tianjia's face that wanted to cut himself every minute, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm really fine." ”

"It's the subordinates who are careless, the young master can punish me as much as he wants." Tianjia's tone was still full of self-blame, and he carefully wiped his face with a handkerchief.

"If only I weren't so weak." Ye Changsheng whispered, "If I can be stronger, we can also walk faster, and you don't have to be dragged down by my body all the time." ”

"Young master, don't talk nonsense, your subordinates naturally focus on your body, and other things are not important to me." Tianjia wet another clean handkerchief for him, and gently wiped his face.

Ye Changsheng stared at the grass at his feet for a long time, and suddenly whispered, "I miss Brother Chu a little." ”

"I don't know what he's doing now, without me by my side, he shouldn't have to worry so much."

"Tianjia, do you think I'm going to die suddenly? If I don't see my father and them again until I die, as well as Brother Chu, what can I do? Ye Changsheng squatted on the ground and said.

He's always been depressed lately, and although he's trying to look as normal as usual, his eyes don't deceive. He would even stealthily lift the curtain of the carriage and look behind him, not knowing what he was looking for or expecting, but always sat back disappointed every time.

Tianjia naturally knew about his small actions, but it was really unexpected for Chu Liuxiang to make the young master think about him like this, and after listening to his self-defeating words, he hurriedly comforted him: "No, the young master is very smart, and he will be able to live for a long time." ”

Hearing Tianjia say this, Ye Changsheng couldn't help laughing: "It's a lie when you hear this, even my second brother admits that I'm not smart." ”

Tianjia stared at his little pockmarked face for a long time, and suddenly chuckled: "The subordinates are not deceiving. For his subordinates, the young master is smart enough, at least much smarter than me, and that's enough. ”

Ye Changsheng turned his head to look at him, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Really?" ”

"Nature is true." Tianjia's eyes smiled slightly.

"Actually, occasionally someone will say that I am smart, and my father's students will often praise me for being smart and clever when they come to my house." Ye Changsheng was praised by others, and he was always in a happy mood, as if he had been recognized by others, and even his face, which was originally pale because of discomfort, was also rosy.
