twenty-four

"Changsheng, it's time to go back." Chu Liuxiang stood aside and watched quietly for a while, and finally chose to interrupt this beautiful scene.

Ye Changsheng and Shen Qing were chatting when they saw each other today, and when they heard a familiar voice, they turned around, and then saw Chu Liuxiang standing not far away calling to themselves, so they immediately stood up and ran over, "Brother Chu, have you finished talking to Mr. Shen?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Liuxiang looked at the young man who immediately rushed over when he heard his voice, smiled and stretched out his hand to touch his head, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." ”

"No, I played very well with A-Qing." Ye Changsheng enjoyed the feeling of being touched on the head, and replied with a smile.

"A-Qing?" Chu Liuxiang paused, raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that the girl who was talking happily with Ye Changsheng just now was standing under the moon and staring at herself affectionately......

Ye Changsheng beside him.

"It's been a long time, Qingqing." He smiled at her, "You're a big girl. ”

Shen Qing naturally recognized him, and also replied with a smile: "Brother Chu, you haven't been here for a long time, so naturally you don't know that I have grown up." She said a little smugly.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chu is always busy with many things, so he can't come often." Chu Liuxiang explained.

Shen Qing nodded arrogantly: "Hmph, if you don't come, forget it." But I'm not unfamiliar with you now, I have Shengsheng to play with me. ”

Hearing her title, Chu Liuxiang was silent for a moment, and hesitated to speak: "Shengsheng? ”

"It's Shengsheng." Shen Qing was very happy, raised his hand and waved at Ye Changsheng and said happily: "Then I'll go back to sleep first, otherwise Daddy will be angry, Shengsheng, I'll come to play with you tomorrow!" With that, he turned around and ran away with his skirt in his hand.

"Goodbye." Ye Changsheng also smiled and waved.

Shen Qing left, and the two of them also walked side by side in Shenjiazhuang in the moonlight. Chu Liuxiang often came here as a guest, so he had his own bedroom in the backyard, and he was going to take Changsheng there to rest for the night. He thought about the intimate interaction between the two people he saw just now, and finally couldn't help asking: "How did Changsheng and Qingqing meet?" ”

"Huh? You say Ah Qing? Ye Changsheng turned his head to look at him, "It was when I was playing by myself in the garden in the afternoon that she came to talk to me, and then we met." He briefly talked about the chance encounter in the afternoon, and then it was like showing off his new friend happily with an adult, "Qingqing is very smart, she can learn anything as soon as she learns, I teach her to read poetry, write and paint, and she learns very fast." ”

She told me that she didn't like reading and writing because she thought it was boring and boring. But I think she just didn't meet a good master, otherwise she would definitely be a female champion in the future. Ye Changsheng had just made a new friend, and he felt that Shen Qing was good everywhere, so he unconsciously praised a lot.

Chu Liuxiang was silent and listened to him as she walked, until the two of them returned to their own small courtyard.

Ye Changsheng stopped talking as soon as he opened the courtyard door, and ran in excitedly to look around, "It's so beautiful here!" It's like a place where the gods live! ”

Although this small courtyard is small, it is full of all kinds of flowers and plants like the outside, and under the cover of the moonlight, this courtyard is like a fairyland in the mist.

"This is the courtyard specially prepared for me by Brother Shen, and no one usually comes over, so naturally no one will take care of it. However, these flowers and plants are still the same lush and neat, and I don't know what method he used. Chu Liuxiang saw that Ye Changsheng liked it here, and couldn't help but feel happy.

He went into the room and lit a few red candles on the table, lighting up the whole room. Looking back at Ye Changsheng, who was still running around the yard to see the fireflies, the smile in the corner of his eyes deepened, and then he began to clean up the house.

Ye Changsheng was tired of playing outside, and walked into the house to ask for water to drink, but he saw Chu Liuxiang wiping the table with his head down, he walked over and asked carefully: "Brother Chu, what are you doing?" ”

Chu Liuxiang looked up and saw that it was him, and said softly: "Changsheng, let's go out and play for a while, this house has been uninhabited for a long time, there is dust everywhere, and you have to clean it before you can live in it." You're choking here, and you'll come in when I'm done. ”

Ye Changsheng looked around the room, and sure enough, many places were covered with dust, thinking that he couldn't let Brother Chu do these things alone, so he volunteered: "Brother Chu, then I'll help too." ”

"You?" Chu Liuxiang looked at him funny, this delicate young master Jin Zhi Yuye, usually even his own face was washed by him, how could he clean up the house?

Seeing that he didn't believe himself, Ye Changsheng was a little unconvinced: "I haven't done anything like this, but I can learn it, Brother Tianjia used to teach me to pick up branches!" ”

However, at the mention of Tianjia, Ye Changsheng's originally happy mood became a little sad.

Chu Liuxiang saw that he was lost, and in order to divert his attention, he pointed to the direction of the bed: "Then Changsheng will help me clean up the bed, and we will sleep later." ”

Ye Changsheng turned his head to look at the bed, and ran over seriously to start tidying up. Chu Liuxiang saw that he was well-behaved and seriously studying those quilts and pillows, and his heart softened a little, so he simply let him go, and lowered his head to wipe the table again.

After a simple cleanup, I washed up with water again, and the two of them took off their clothes and lay down after a little scrubbing. Originally, Chu Liuxiang wanted to sleep on the floor, but Ye Changsheng resolutely disagreed, not saying that if he wanted to sleep there, then he would also sleep on the ground with a cup rolled, and Chu Liuxiang, who was afraid that he would catch a cold and get sick, had to hug his bed and squeeze together with him.

"Sleep." Chu Liuxiang hugged the person into his arms so that he could sleep more comfortably, patted him lightly on his back and said softly.

Ye Changsheng was honestly lying in his arms, but his head kept moving around and was not quiet for a moment. Chu Liuxiang had already closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, but the little thing in his arms was really restless, so he had to open his eyes and sigh: "Can't sleep?" ”

Knowing that he disturbed other people's sleep, Ye Changsheng was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry Brother Chu...... But I, I really don't want to sleep. ”

Chu Liuxiang cheered up, "What's wrong?" Tell me about it. ”

Ye Changsheng thought for a while and got up from his arms, staring at Chu Liuxiang with a pair of big black eyes: "Brother Chu, did you know Ah Qing before?" ”

"Qingqing?" Chu Liuxiang recalled for a while and said: "I have been friends with Brother Shen for many years, when I first met him, Qingqing was just a little girl of four or five years old, and now it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye. ”

"Really......" Ye Changsheng exclaimed, "What about her mother?" ”

"She is actually an orphan girl adopted by Brother Shen, not her own, so no one knows who her mother is." Chu Liuxiang said.

Ye Changsheng's eyes widened when he heard this, "Orphan!?" But she's so good! How can it be an orphan? ”

"The world is impermanent, and there are always many unavoidable reasons in this world, so there is no need to mind." Chu Liuxiang comforted him, "Brother Shen is very fond of her, and she herself is very happy, so Changsheng doesn't need to mind." ”

Thinking that Shen Qing was so lively and cute, Ye Changsheng felt a little sorry for her, "Hmm......"

Chu Liuxiang looked at his expression and couldn't help asking, "Changsheng seems to be very different from her?" ”

Ye Changsheng nodded honestly when he heard this: "I think she is a bit like me, I used to be locked up at home like this and couldn't go anywhere, but I still have a lot of brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles to play with me, but she is alone every day, so I can't help but want to talk to her." ”

"And, if you count her, she's the first friend I've made out there."

Seeing his serious expression, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but tease him: "First friend? Could it be that Brother Chu is not your friend? ”

"That's different!" Ye Changsheng immediately retorted.

"How is it different?" Chu Liuxiang continued to tease him.

Ye Changsheng, who was asked all of a sudden, was stunned for a long time and couldn't answer, although they were all friends, but Brother Chu and Ah Qing were different, but he really couldn't say what was the difference.

Seeing his stupid appearance, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but rub his stupid hair lovingly: "Don't think about it, Brother Chu is teasing you." ”

Ye Changsheng fell back into his arms without a sound, opened his eyes and thought carefully for a long time before he whispered: "You and Ah Qing are both my friends, but...... But you're a man, she's a woman. ”

After thinking about it, after all, Ye Changsheng, who was too young and inexperienced, could only reluctantly give this incomprehensible answer.

Not long after he said this, he fell asleep in a daze, and he was indeed tired after a day of playing. However, he slept happily by himself, but he didn't want Chu Liuxiang to misunderstand what he meant.

Chu Liuxiang was originally a prodigal son who lingered among flowers, as early as when he was a teenager, he knew about the affairs of men and women, and he was very experienced in this kind of relationship between men and women, so he always thought more than ordinary people when he watched it.

So he saw that Changsheng was very fond and admired Shen Qing with blue eyes, and listened to him say what the difference between men and women, plus Qingqing's girl seemed to really like Changsheng, so he only thought that Changsheng also liked Qingqing for the first time.

For a moment, his mood immediately fell silent.

It stands to reason that Changsheng has grown up and knows that it should be a good thing to like girls, and he should be happy for him as his eldest brother, but why is he a little melancholy.

Chu Liuxiang looked at Ye Changsheng, who was lying in his arms and was sleeping quietly, and looked at his delicate and beautiful little face for a long time, and finally sighed and hugged the person in his arms again.

That's it, if he really likes Qingqing, he really doesn't have a position to say anything......

It's just that Qingqing's girl has a tricky temperament, but I'm afraid it's not suitable for him.
