Liu Ying picked up the folding fan at hand and hit Liu Zhang: "Zhang'er! I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm even looking for a helper to play chess? It's not like you. ”

Liu Zhang's face was bitter, covering the back of his beaten hand, and throwing the chess piece that he was holding in his palm that could never fall into the chess bowl: "That's it, in terms of chess skills, I still can't compare to the young master." ”

Liu Ying turned her head sideways, aimed at Chang Xi, and could see her two eyes through the mask: "Why don't you let this little brother play a game with me?" ”

Chang Xi's body trembled, and he hurriedly shrank to Liu Zhang's side.

Liu Zhang relieved the siege and said: "The young master is not embarrassed by others? He may not be like the young master who is proficient in chess. ”

"You bring a brother, is it possible for him to look at him dumbfounded? Zhang'er, you're too unkind. But speaking of which, little brother, how do you cover your mask? I don't have to be restrained here, you can take it off, otherwise I will look a little strange. ”

Chang Xi held the mask in both hands and shook his head.

Liu Zhang said for her again: "He's afraid of life, young master, you just rely on him." ”

Liu Ying nodded: "Okay, then sit down quickly, come here, and reorganize the chess." ”

Chang Xi took a deep breath and could only obey the order, but she didn't dare to raise her head for half a minute, her eyes only wandered between the chessboards.

Liu Ying is smiling all the time, and sometimes she will chuckle out loud when she falls into a good position, which seems very comfortable. But this comfort is very eye-catching in Chang Xi's opinion.

Why is she the only one who suffers?

Chang Xi said in a calm voice: "The young master is so happy, presumably ...... Presumably there are many happy events in the family? ……”

Liu Ying was stunned, the chess pieces that were rotating between his fingers fell, he glanced at Chang Xi, and picked it up again without hurrying, and dropped his sleeves.

Liu Ying asked rhetorically: "How do you know that I am happy?" ”

"The young master has been laughing."

"How do you know that laughter means happiness?"

Chang Xi raised his eyes this time and met Liu Ying's gaze at him, he was smiling, but this smile couldn't get into his eyes.

She had seen such looks, tiredness, despair, pain.

"Does the young master have anything to worry about?"

Liu Ying shook her head, her expression was like seeing the spring breeze in March: "Naturally, there is harmony in my family, my mother dotes on me, there is a mature and introverted wife, and there is a concubine who is as beautiful as a flower, and they have never had disputes...... Not long ago, I had a big fat son, and her mother accompanied me day and night, you say, is God too good to me? God for me, really, really good......"

Liu Ying's lower eyes turned red into a line, and there was still a light smile on her face.

Liu Zhang didn't speak, he understood the meaning of Liu Ying's words.

Of course, Chang Xi also understood, she lowered her eyes, bit her lip and said, "I, my stomach is uncomfortable, go and make it easier!" ”

She ran out of the chamber and felt very uncomfortable. Liu Ying is satirizing her own life, and he is just as painful.

Chang Xi leaned against the wall, sat on the ground weakly against the wall, ripped off her mask, and her face was full of tears: "If I told you that I am not dead, what will happen to you?" Will you still fulfill the promise you made to me back then, and dare to rebel against your high-minded mother? Will you protect me for the rest of my life, can you not be an emperor, can you leave behind the foundation laid down by Gaozu back then? If ......"

There are no ifs, no ifs in this world.

Pain coexists with reality, and it reminds us of the truth of life with the pain of cutting the skin, tells us what was hard to come by, and warns us to stop wishing about things that we can't get at all.
