Chapter 44: They Were Brothers
The sun is warm at the end of winter, not as dazzling as in summer, and not as deep as in autumn. Jiang Zuiyao sat next to Shao Ziqing, the gentle sunlight sprinkled on her body, warm, and a pot of good tea, it was a happy thing, but the current atmosphere was dignified.
Qin Nanxian held a cup of hot tea, and was not in a hurry to drink it, just held it in his hand, looked at Shao Ziqing indifferently, and said quietly: "Since she left, we haven't seen each other for three years." ”
Jiang Zuiyao sat aside, not daring to interject, and didn't know who the "she" in Qin Nanxian's mouth was, so she was suspicious that that person should be Zou Yantian.
Shao Ziqing's face was very cold, and his voice was also very cold: "Although I haven't seen you again in the past three years, you haven't left either, haven't you?" ”
Qin Nanxian pulled out a sad smile: "You and I are in Kyoto together, and we can't always cut off contact." ”
In this way, Shao Ziqing only felt cold: "You shouldn't have come to this place, but you still came." ”
The tea in the cup was fragrant, but no one was interested in raising a glass, except for Qin Nanxian, but he still just held it like that: "I said, I can't watch you go astray." ”
Shao Ziqing snorted a sneer and showed disdain: "So this is the reason why you are against me?" ”
Qin Nanxian shook his head slowly: "I just don't want you to become the next prime minister, or, the next crown prince." ”
The conversations that came and went made Jiang Zuiyao on the side unable to understand, what happened between them?
At this time, Qin Nanxian took a sip of the tea in his hand, swallowed it slowly, and slowly spoke: "This is your favorite Tianshan cloud and mist in the past, don't you taste it?" ”
Shao Ziqing glanced at the tea on the table, and her voice was still very cold: "Once upon a time? What I used to like, I don't like anymore. ”
This sentence alone seemed to cover some deep meaning, which made Qin Nanxian's indifferent face overcast, and the tea in his hand he put down said, "Do you remember the days in the Taixuan clan in the past?" Your favorite drink is the clouds and mist of the Tianshan Mountains, your favorite is the pipa string music, and the most hated is the pepper liquor. ”
Jiang Zuiyao on the side was a little surprised when she heard this, how could Qin Nanxian know so much about Shao Ziqing's past preferences? Have they known each other for a long time?
Speaking of the past, Shao Ziqing was a little bored, and seemed to be a little unwilling to be mentioned.
But Qin Nanxian refused to stop, and continued: "Because of the clouds and mist of the Tianshan Mountains, you know me; Because of the pipa string music, you know Zou Yantian; Because of the pepper liquor, you got to know Zou Lingxiao. Did you ever think that we would be friends in trouble? ”
"Say no more." , Shao Ziqing opened his mouth in annoyance to stop it, which was also the indifference that Jiang Zuiyao was used to.
Qin Nanxian paused slightly, thinking that he would stop there, but he said again: "Do you remember when you and I held tea and enjoyed the evening?" And that one of your favorite poems. ”
The sound of heavy breathing came from Shao Ziqing's snort, Jiang Zuiyao glanced at him secretly, and under the indifference was a dark surge that was difficult to be detected, she knew that he was going to be angry.
Qin Nanxian didn't mean to stop, and read out the poem: "After eating, sleep and get up for two bowls of tea; Raise your head to look at the shadow of the sun, which has been restored to the southwest slope; Happy people cherish the day, worry people are tired of the New Year; Carefree, long and short career. In the past, you said that you wanted to be a musician, but now, why are you a worrying person? ”
"I told you to stop talking!" , Shao Ziqing was really angry and yelled at Qin Nanxian.
In the face of Shao Ziqing's anger, Qin Nanxian did not have any timidity, some were only disappointed, he looked at Shao Ziqing's irritable face, and frowned slightly: "You rarely got angry before." ”
The anger that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be restrained at this moment, Shao Ziqing's face instantly changed color, and his voice became high-pitched: "There is no going back from the past!" ”
"It's just that you don't want to go back, if you want to go back, how can you not go back?" , Qin Nanxian's tone was still soft, more like persuasion.
Shao Ziqing smiled coldly: "Go back?" Dumpling is dead! Can you go back? I also want to sit in the attic and cook tea with you to enjoy the evening, and drink my favorite pepper liquor with Zou Lingxiao, but the pipa strings? Can I still hear me? ”
Jiang Zuiyao looked at Shao Ziqing's resentful face, and clenched her fists in anger, as if she wanted to crush bones.
She knew that Zou Yantian was Shao Ziqing's reverse scale, and she couldn't mention it anyway, but Qin Nanxian wanted to mention it.
Qin Nanxian also seemed to have guessed that Shao Ziqing would be angry, and his face did not show a trace of waves, but his voice was more solemn: "Could it be that without Zou Yantian, we can't go back?" ”
"That's right!" , Shao Ziqing replied firmly, extremely firmly, and said extremely hard in every word: "If you can make Tian'er come back, I will promise you to go back to the past!" ”
The clear words walked into Qin Nanxian's ears word by word, and this time, he was silent.
Yes, no one can bring a dead person back to life.
Shao Ziqing's arms began to tremble with resentment, but he didn't fight as usual, he held back the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "I can't go back!" ”
In just one sentence, Qin Nanxian's whole heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if he was sorry and helpless, and slowly spoke: "My best friend is the stern, upright, and upright Shao Ziqing in the past, not the treacherous, vicious, and unscrupulous Shao Ziqing in front of him. ”
Shao Ziqing sneered, laughing sarcastically, and didn't know what he was sarcastic, and replied: "Strict and positive? Aboveboard? Hahaha......"
Shao Ziqing laughed wildly, as if he felt that Qin Nanxian's words were ridiculous, and after laughing, his face gradually turned into anger: "If I had been as unscrupulous as I am now, I wouldn't have died." ”
Such words were simply a fallacy in Qin Nanxian's eyes, and he asked: "Then do you know that evil does not prevail over good?" ”
Shao Ziqing snorted coldly: "What is evil? What is positive? In the past, the right path I pursued was just a joke, and I couldn't even protect my beloved. Qin Nanxian, even if you and I have been brothers since we were eight years old, but now we are strangers, you and I are enemies, and I will never be soft! ”
By the end of the words, Shao Ziqing's voice had become as solid as a stone, stiff and without temperature.
Qin Nanxian seemed to be reluctant: "Between you and me, does it really have to be like this?" ”
Shao Ziqing said expressionlessly: "You said that I have changed, haven't you also changed?" You're not the simple and kind Qin Nanxian you used to be, aren't you? ”
Shao Ziqing had no intention of mentioning the past at the moment, and said coldly: "You said that the lone wolf is a person from the Imperial City Division, what do you want to do when you see me today?" ”
The sudden change of topic made Qin Nanxian realize that some things, whether they were destined by heaven or done by people, may not be able to go back to the past.
