Early the next morning, Hege was yawning to open the door, and saw Zhong Hao sitting on the steps of the door.

"Why are you here?"

Hearing the voice of the lotus song, Zhong Hao turned his face and smiled.

"I came out of Yan'er early, and I thought I had nowhere to go, so I came to you." He stood up and patted the dust off his body, "I'm hungry, you have breakfast." ”

"Tut-tut." He Ge has always scoffed at Zhong Hao's words and deeds of being obsessed with Qinglou. "You don't even have breakfast for your cigarettes? Are you embarrassed to earn your money? ”

"Naturally...... She forgot ......" Zhong Hao was lost for a moment, and with a smile, he pushed He Ge's shoulder and walked into the house.

"Forgot?" He Ge thought it was funny and couldn't help but tease him. "Young Master Song can endure it?"

Zhong Hao behind him laughed loudly, "Yes, she is an Oiran raised by me." ”

In such a good mood early in the morning, did Song Zhonghao get any treasure? He Ge wanted to turn around and take a look, but he pressed his shoulder and pushed forward.

"Don't rub it off, I'm so hungry, I'm hungry, my stomach hurts. Hurry up and make me something sweet, so that I can get better soon. ”

"Uh-oh." He Ge was pushed all the way to the stove room by Zhong Hao.

Zhong Hao leaned against the door of the stove room, snapped his fingers, and ordered the same food. "Jujube mud cake, candied date cake, and the honey soft cake you made last time, don't tea cake, it's weird and bitter. Oh, by the way, and ginkgo cake, and your wine, the very sweet one. ”

"Eating such a sweet and greasy thing early in the morning, aren't you afraid of rotten teeth?" He Ge laughed at him while starting to make it, thought about it, and said, "The pastry is too dry, why don't I cook you a bowl of porridge." ”

"Don't." Zhong Hao leaned against the pillar and turned around and looked at the sky in the courtyard, "Young Master Ben drank too much wine yesterday, and his heartburn was uncomfortable, so he wanted to eat a sweet solution." ”

"Today, your bookstore will also be opened, and I will take care of it." He pressed a silver ticket against the crack in the door. "It's rare that it's okay, I'll be lazy here for a day."

"Yo-he!" He Gele walked over, took the silver ticket and put it in his arms with great satisfaction, "Okay, please~"

The two of them were talking and laughing, and Xiao Tang walked over and said softly, "Childe, Xu Ye is looking for you." ”

Zhong Hao waved his hand with a smile, "I won't do it today, let him rest and rest." I'll talk back to my house tomorrow. ”

The chapel retreated, and the attendants in the courtyard also withdrew.

Zhong Hao sat in the garden and watched as He Ge brought over the pastries. The things she makes are always so exquisite, both in taste and on the outside.

He Ge held his cheeks and watched Zhong Hao enjoy tasting his craftsmanship one by one, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Her cheeks, smiling, were more delicate and colorful.

Zhong Hao raised his eyes to look at her and smiled. Picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to He Ge, "Today's honey soft cake is the best, this is the reward of this young master, ah...... Mouth. ”

He Ge unexpectedly shrunk her neck, but she was still chased to her mouth by Zhong Hao's hand, and she bit it a little blankly.

"Hehehe......" Zhong Hao seemed to be very happy, and went to choose another piece of white fruit cake and put it in his mouth, clapped his hands, and turned his eyes to the rest of the courtyard.

He Ge was still a little stunned, she was not used to such Zhong Hao. It's not strange, but it's different.

"Are you ......?" she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. may be because Ke's affairs have disturbed his heart, so he thinks so much, and can't help but secretly blame himself for talking too much.

"What?" Zhong Hao had already heard it, and he lowered his head, as if he was looking at the dead leaves in the lotus pond. "What do you want to ask me?"

"It's fine." He Ge turned his head, "It's rare to see you so clear, and you don't even have anyone around you." "Yes, when he came this time, it seemed that there were only two guards around him, except for the small hall, and his usual carriage and soft sedan chair were not there, and if he thought about it carefully, he was at the door, and it seemed that there was not even a horse.

Zhong Hao raised his head and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "I'm used to the hustle and bustle, so it's good to be quiet."

I see...... He Ge nodded and stopped talking. The courtyard was quiet for a while, and everything could be heard clearly.

The wind weaves through the leaves, and the birds flutter their wings and chirp. On the small street outside the courtyard wall, the merchant was shouting loudly, and the wheels drove over the bluestone slabs and walked away. I don't know which pulp washed the clothes, and suddenly there was a clean scent of soaphorn wafting in the air.

All the sounds that can be heard, smelled in the days of ordinary people...... There should be all in this small yard.

But on the contrary, there are not good people who come and go.

At this moment, Zhong Hao actually felt a little sorry for this safe time that had been passed away in vain.

"Why don't you speak?" He turned his head, the corners of his mouth curled nicely. He likes Hege. I like her well-behaved and obedient, and I like her intelligence and dexterity. She is not a woman who exudes a seductive heterosexual aura, but only pleasing to his eyes.

He Ge pursed his lips, "I don't want to disturb your quiet." ”

Her eyes are always full of crystalline looks, the spring is a hundred flowers, the summer is as bright as the stars, the autumn is rippling, and the winter is warm. She is beautiful and should be unique.

Zhong Hao looked into her eyes, "Ask you something." ”

"Well, let's talk about it." She nodded, and pushed the plate with his favorite honey soft cake closer to him.

Zhong Hao took a piece and put it in his hand, "Do you like Ke?" ”

"Hmm......" I didn't expect his question to be so ...... Directly, He Ge pulled the table with his fingers, and then nodded very firmly, "Yes." ”

"Why did you hesitate?" Zhong Hao stared at He Ge and threw out another question.

Why hesitate? Because you're not Ke, because you're not the one I like, because what you're asking is very inappropriate. He Ge quickly gave many answers in her mind, but in the end she didn't say so, because this was the answer she wanted to tell others the most.

"Not hesitation, but affirmation. Like is a very complex feeling, and I think it is also a very sacred feeling, how can I blurt it out without thinking about it. I was just making sure of my mind. ”

"So, are you sure you like him?" After listening to her words, Zhong Hao was quiet for a moment, and then continued to ask, "How do you know that you like him?" ”

This question is very profound, and He Ge has seriously thought about the bits and pieces of getting along with Ke since he came here.

Is it a lifesaver? Is it the love of acceptance? Is it inclusive and tolerant? Or his good-looking eyebrows?

"It's companionship." He Ge blurted out, but Zhong Hao, who was drinking water, almost choked.

"What?"

"Didn't you ask me how I was sure I liked him, I think it should be the company he gave me."

"But he's not with you."

"It's not about being there all the time, it's about knowing he's there."

Zhong Hao opened the jade bone fan, fanned it twice, and stood up with a smile, "Heh, you...... Why is such a big person so naïve? ”

Whether naïve or naïve, let go of the useless thoughts that have been entangled in his mind, as long as he waits attentively, he will definitely come back soon.

Zhong Hao paced in the courtyard for a short while, and then sat back down. Hege gave him a cup of tea.

"You seem to have something on your mind today, huh?"

Zhong Hao looked into He Ge's eyes and sighed with a smile, "I want to redeem myself for Yan'er." ”

He Ge didn't expect Zhong Hao's son-in-law to linger in the flowers to have such a deep and unique time, although it is not like his style, but after all, he is rare and serious, and he can rescue other girls from the fire pit, He Ge feels that he should support it. However, would a wealthy gentleman like the Song family be able to tolerate such a background?

"But I can't do that, because if you leave there, she's nothing."

"Isn't that still you?" He Ge was puzzled, since he was already planning to redeem her, why couldn't he accept her?

"Me?" Zhong Hao blinked unexpectedly, then shook his head, "I'm the least reliable. Besides, after leaving Yunxia Pavilion, is she still an Oiran? If it's not an Oiran, what's the use of being beautiful? ”

"At least have a stable life, and you don't have to laugh for a living." He Ge frowned, unable to agree with his words, "You just asked me why I like Ke, if there is someone by your side every day, no matter what you do or where you go, you will not feel lonely." You can tell her everything you see and hear, and she will do the same. Isn't this kind of getting along like a scene in the wine table flower street? ”

The jade bone fan swirled between Zhong Hao's beautiful fingers. "What you said, it's okay to act on the spot. A person, climbing to the position of the Oiran, will pay a lot. What I give her may not be worth all she wants, and in the same way, I can't get it all. ”

"So, I won't help her redeem, and I shouldn't help her."

"And what will happen to you?"

"Hmm...... Give her what she wants, take what I need, and you can be happy. ”

On that day, long after Zhong Hao left, He Ge was still sitting alone in the courtyard. When she finally got up and was about to clean up the cup, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. There was a kind of too stubborn affection in Zhong Hao's eyes, he shouldn't have said such cold words. In his love, he has everything, but there is no word love.

The wind passed happily through the pillars, stirring the blue skirt corners and long black hair of Hege Lake. The moon had risen completely, and everything in the garden had dimmed and faded its outline.

Only a little candlelight in her hand danced brightly and danced under the porch.

Pushing open the door of Ke's room, everything in the house was the same. The books he loves, the words he learns, and the chessboard baskets he uses every day are all quietly in place, clean and tidy, but they have lost the temperature of their masters.

He Ge just put the candle in his hand on the candlestick, too dazzling light would spoil this beauty.

She sat on Ke's bed, her hands propped up on the edge of the bed, and her bare feet swayed in the air. Everything in the room is his, and when you close your eyes, he seems to be right next to you.

The moonlight poured in through the window, caressing her face, adding a hazy and gentle beauty to her smiling countenance.

Facing this quiet space, while thinking of him, He Ge once again remembered what Zhong Hao said, it turned out that there were still so many things between people who liked each other......

Faced with this sudden thought, He Ge felt a little flustered.

With a "bang", a figure fell heavily through the window.

"Who!"
