She didn't do this because Mu Zhao made her forget him, she sulked, not for anything else, he wanted to stay away from him, broke her infatuation, and she did what he wanted.

Seeing her refuse, a sense of frustration appeared on her always calm and self-contained face, but she still insisted: "The road is far away, and it is really not suitable for walking." ”

It's not that he doesn't know that it's really inappropriate for him to do this, he has clearly decided to stay away from her, and fade out of her life from now on, but he still insists on sending her home. Just now they have already agreed, and Shen Nanyan has also agreed, He shouldn't be alone with her at this time.

The two were in the stage of holding each other, and a person came out of the premises, the dark blue robe lined his face with an extraordinary appearance, although it was not as good as Mu Zhao, it was not bad, his demeanor was elegant and easy-going, and he was the son who came with Mu Zhao.

Cheng Mu heard their voices in the house and said with a smile: "When you return, why did you only come now?" ”

"Brother Cheng has been waiting for me here?" Mu Zhao looked at Cheng Mu with a slight surprise.

Not long after the rain fell, he was in a hurry to find Shen Nanyan, and it was inconvenient to explain his intentions to him, so he only said that he was going to make an appointment with Cheng Mu to go back first, but he didn't expect him to be waiting for him here.

"It was raining a little heavily, and at first I was going to hide here for a while, but I didn't expect you to come back." Cheng Mu explained with a smile.

Cheng Mu is a few years older than Mu Zhao, although he is also a gentle and considerate person, he is completely different from Mu Zhao. Mu Zhao has a handsome face, polite speech and demeanor, and is like a clear stream among the children of various families, not only that, but Mu Zhao is also a literati, brilliant and talented, and he is gentle and considerate in dealing with people, and his whole body is as warm as jade.

is not badly born, compared to Mu Zhao's Qingjun, it is a little worse, on the outside, Mu Zhao looks more like a gentle son than him, Cheng Mu does not have the literati spirit of Mu Zhao, and he only has the words elegant and easy-going, and he treats people gently, softly, and considerately.

Most women in Beijing prefer people like Mu Zhao with a handsome face and a gentle temperament, while most men like Cheng Mu's heartfelt elegance. In their words, Mu Zhao is just pretentious, relying on his handsome face to provoke a group of little girls to secretly agree for him.

But these things did not affect the relationship between Mu Zhao and Cheng Mu at all, although they did not know each other as long as Shen Jin and Song Heng, but because of their similar temperaments, the relationship was not bad.

Mu Zhao nodded, did not break the casserole and asked in the end, the rain was not very heavy, according to the time they left and the speed of riding horses, it would not take long to return to the city, why did they stop here on this only way back to the city.

Just like Cheng Mu didn't ask him why he went back to the city with Shen Nanyan even though he was going to see his friends, he made an appointment with Cheng Mu today to ride out of the city to ride a horse, where would any friends meet him. His reason for this is really a bit lame.

Sometimes people should deal with each other like this, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the two of them have proper benefits, they will not pay too much attention to each other's private affairs, and even if they know that what they say is full of loopholes, they are still willing to understand each other.

"Miss Shen is also here." Cheng Mu saw that Shen Nanyan was also there, and politely said hello.

She has always lived in a simple place, so naturally it is impossible to know Cheng Mu, but just now when she heard Mu Zhao call him Brother Cheng, Shen Nanyan had a rough impression in her mind, and he seemed to be present on the day when the Shen Mansion held a banquet.

"Cheng Gongzi is good." Shen Nanyan smiled faintly.

"If it's not too early today, Miss Shen will go into the city with us." Cheng Mu looked at the sky not far away and suddenly spoke.

It was indeed not early, they had finished breakfast before going out of the city, and stopped there for a few hours in the late autumn rain, and at noon I am afraid that a long time had passed, and they could only return to the house after returning to the city for dinner.

Shen Nanyan hesitated a little, he had already rejected Mu Zhao, if he accepted Cheng Mu's invitation now, wouldn't his words and deeds be inconsistent, and changing his orders would also make Mu Zhao think more.

Cheng Mu saw that Shen Nanyan was hesitating, and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, don't worry, my riding skills are good when I return, and there will be no bumps." ”

Cheng Mu's repeated persuasion, Shen Nanyan was not good at what to say, and responded: "Thank you Cheng Gongzi." ”

Mu Zhao stood quietly aside, listening to them, Shen Nanyan really guessed correctly, she politely rejected Mu Zhao, and accepted Cheng Mu's invitation again, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable, but compared to letting her go back to the city alone, her safety was nothing, and he was not disgusted with Cheng Mu's invitation.

When you're ready to go, it's a question of who you're riding with on the same horse.

Mu Zhao turned over and got on the horse, his movements were like flowing water, which was pleasing to the eye, and he stretched out his hand to her, his intention was obvious.

Let him give her a ride, and stay with her for the last time.

After that, he wouldn't see her in private.

Mu Zhao's hands are very good-looking, slender as jade, just like others. Shen Nanyan raised his head to look at him, with long eyebrows and thin eyes, from this angle, you can just see his beautiful chin, the lines are extremely beautiful, and the lips are thin and light. His body is ruthless and tender, which makes her indulge in it and unable to extricate herself.

"I'll just sit behind Cheng Gongzi." She said.

Mu Zhao pursed his lips and stared straight at Shen Nanyan, looking at Shen Nanyan without a glance.

Then he rolled over and dismounted, and said, "Offended." He hugged him to Cheng Mu's horse, and then he turned over and got on the horse, and rode away.

Frightened by this sudden action, Shen Nanyan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, and then finally sad. Since she had even thought about the fact that she couldn't get on the horse, why couldn't she face the affection between them?

Mu Zhao didn't say anything about Cheng Mu, even the groom saw his intentions, Cheng Mu, who got on the horse early in the morning, was stunned, Mu Zhao's behavior today was really unusual.

He got on the horse early in the morning just because he thought that Shen Nanyan was going to ride the same horse as Mu Zhao, but looking at the relationship between them, I am afraid that there is some contradiction. He shook off the thoughts in his mind and said, "Miss Shen sit tight." After saying that, he drove his horse forward.

Shen Nanyan gently grabbed his robe and sat behind him, a little distance away from him.

A light fragrance wafted into his nose, causing the tip of his nose to tremble, this fragrance is fresh and elegant, faint and refreshing, like a cold plum fragrance.

He had smelled this incense, and it was in the sachet that Mu Zhao wore all year round.

It was quiet along the way, and they didn't have the slightest conversation. Shen Nanyan sat quietly behind him like that, without saying a word.

Halfway through the road, he had the heart to ease the atmosphere, and casually found a topic to talk about: "Since the day of the palace banquet, I have never seen Miss Shen again, and today is the second time I have seen Miss Shen." ”

"I have always lived in seclusion on weekdays, and I don't go out much." Shen Nanyan said softly.

"Winter is coming, and it will be much colder in Beijing, so Miss Shen should take advantage of the good weather to go out and walk around more, which is also beneficial to the body." Cheng Mu's words are like a warm-hearted brother, carefully speaking these words within her health.

"Thank you Cheng Gongzi for your advice, I will definitely come out and walk around more." Cheng Mu's words made her feel inexplicably kind, and she responded with a smile.

Cheng Mu told her some words about clothing, food, housing and transportation, as well as the health regimen and diet methods he had summarized over the years.

She took notes carefully, occasionally echoing a few words, and the two got along very well.

As he spoke, the city gate was already in front of him, and Cheng Mu rode into the city.

Mu Zhao had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw the two of them arrive, he was relieved.

"When I return, I have something to deal with, you can send someone to send Miss Shen home." Cheng Mu said to Mu Zhao, although he didn't know what happened between Mu and them, he could still see that the two were affectionate to each other, and he also had the heart to give them a chance to be alone and let them solve the misunderstanding.

"Brother Cheng, let's make an appointment another day." Mu Zhao responded.

"Okay." Cheng Mu said goodbye to Shen Nanyan: "Miss Shen, I will take the first step in the next today." Let's send the young lady back when we return. ”

"Cheng Gongzi walks slowly." Shen Nanyan nodded.

"Stay safe on the road." Cheng Mu patted Mu Zhao's shoulder, and after speaking, he rode a horse and disappeared on the street.

Before Mu Zhao could speak, Shen Nanyan spoke: "Don't bother Mu Gongzi, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Knowing that she had made up her mind to stay away from herself, although Mu Zhao was in pain, she also knew that there was nothing wrong with her doing this, and he shouldn't be greedy for this time together, so he nodded: "I'll ask Xie Sui to find a carriage to send you." ”

This time she didn't refuse, "Thank you Mu Gongzi." ”

Winter goes to spring, day and night alternate, they go from not knowing each other to sympathizing with each other, to connecting with each other, and their feelings are secretly born.

The stars are moving, the clouds are rolling up, and they have gone from knowing each other to being estranged and polite now.

After going around and around, they still returned to the original point.

The twilight is slanting, and the sun is setting in the west. She was only separated from him by a sea of people, but the distance between her heart was already thousands of miles away, and the distance between the other side was once separated by those countless old days.

At the beginning of the Shen Mansion family banquet with him, on the day of the palace banquet, he brought her a veil, and the shadows intertwined on the ground when they stood together in the imperial garden.

There is also that time when they talked about poetry and cherished each other.

Now, that old time is about to be forgotten by her, and time flies, allowing it to dissipate in her memories.

"Mu Gongzi, cherish it."

She smiled lightly and said goodbye to him. All that can be said is this sentence, and it should only be this sentence.

The rest of the sincerity, I'm afraid I don't have to let him hear it anymore.

This farewell is a decision made by her lifelong courage.

From then on, the sky was high and the earth was wide, and she and he were no longer in sight.

Since then, the mountains and rivers have not met, and they do not ask the old people whether they are long or short.

Mu Zhao looked at Shen Nanyan and said this solemnly, how could there be anything she didn't understand, knowing that she was going to say goodbye to herself, she suppressed the astringency in her heart and raised a smile: "Miss Shen, cherish." ”

The two looked at each other, with a smile on their faces and bitterness in their eyes.

They all regard this as the last parting in this life, and they don't have to see each other in the future. Where do you know that verbal parting is nothing at all, there are many real partings, life and death, heaven and man are forever separated, and they are also parting.
