The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is going very fast, and the pace of spring is also tight, and the winter of more than three months is fleeting and ushering in the warm east wind. Spring in the south is warm and comfortable, unlike the cold spring in the north.

After finishing the day's affairs, Xu Hong saw the starry light and moonlight outside at night, so he asked Xue Chengyu: "The scenery outside is just right, do you want the young master to go to the courtyard to admire the moon?" ”

Xue Chengyu put down the medical book in his hand and looked up at the sky, nodded and motioned for Xu Hong to push him out. Xu Hong was afraid that Xue Chengyu would be cold, so he took out a blanket to cover his knees, and he sat on the stone bench holding a fruit plate and began to eat.

Xue Chengyu took out an apple from the plate, took a bite, and asked, "It's been three months since Xiao Hong came to Xue's Mansion, I don't know how I feel?" ”

"The old and young masters are not thin on me, they have never disliked me, I am from the countryside, and they have not accused me of being clumsy. Now there is food and shelter, which is much better than in the countryside, and the Jiangnan area seems to be warmer than the north, not as cold as the north. ”

For Xue Chengyu, who was born in Jiangnan and never stepped out of Jiangnan, everything in the north is unfamiliar, except for the "Mountains and Rivers Chronicles" sent by Jiang Qi, who travels abroad every month, if you want to get the news about the north country, you can only know it from the caravan, and she is very curious and asks.

"I wonder what Xiaohong's home is like in the Northland? What do you do on weekdays? ”

"My family...... It's just a relatively dilapidated house, only as big as the young master's yard. There are medicinal herbs in the yard, and my father and mother treat the villagers on weekdays and dry the medicinal herbs. Speaking of this, Xu Hong took a bite of a pear, and said it while smashing his mouth, looking so indulgent, Xue Chengyu didn't care about him.

"Life is not hard or comfortable, but it's a pity that I'm not stupid by nature and not a medical student, except for being able to grab medicine, I can't ...... I thought that there was still a long time to learn slowly, but I never thought that there were many disasters last year, and my father and mother contracted the epidemic and left to save people...... Leaving me to flee all the way and taking a caravan southbound to Jiangnan......" Xu Hong choked up a little when he recalled the old things, and gently sniffed his nose and nibbled on a pear to hide his sad emotions.

The person in front of Xue Chengyu was so sad that he knew that he was speechless, put his hand on Xu Hong's shoulder, and comforted: "In the future, you can treat the Xue family as your own home, I will teach you whatever you want to learn, and no one dares to say that you are stupid with me." ”

No matter how approachable Xue Chengyu is, in the final analysis, he is still a young master, and it is difficult to understand the sorrow of a low-level weak person like Xu Hong, and he only has sympathy and pity for them Xue Chengyu.

Xu Hong was moved by Xue Chengyu's words, sniffled again, and said glutinously, "It's good to have a young master", and Xue Chengyu was a little satisfied when he listened.

"If Xiao Hong thinks I'm good, stay by my side for a long time, be careful, don't hurt yourself."

Xu Hong didn't understand what Xue Chengyu meant for a while, but Mu Ne nodded, and Xue Chengyu unconsciously stretched out his hand and pinched his little face when he saw that stunned look. I have been in Xue Mansion for three months, I eat a lot of things every day but I don't see any meat, I am as thin as a little monkey, and people who don't know will think that Xue Jiake has detained people.

Xue Chengyu was fine, put his hand on Xu Hong's left shoulder, and just wanted to pinch his shoulder to relieve his fatigue, but Xu Hong hurriedly avoided as if he was frightened.

"Less...... Master...... It's not appropriate......"

Xue Chengyu had no choice but to withdraw his hand, his expression was lost, and he lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Xu Hong had an injury on his shoulder and it was a new injury, and the position of the bone in his shoulder was still misplaced when he first came to Xue Mansion. Xue Chengyu once asked Xu Hong how he got injured, but Xu Hong didn't say it, Xue Chengyu sent people to inquire around and learned that Xu Hong had done something in Qiao's house before, and there was no way to know how he ended up on the streets.

After knowing what happened to Xu Hong, Xue Chengyu's heart always ached faintly, and he felt very sorry for this man who was not favored by the sky. In fact, Xue Chengyu doesn't know what's going on recently, since Xu Hong came to his side, he has become more and more dependent on him, teaching him to study medicine and watching him be busy, as long as Xu Hong is by his side, it is good to be able to appear in front of his eyes.

In terms of heart, the most meticulous person who takes care of people in Xue's mansion is Fu Bo, but Fu Bo is just a relative to Xue Chengyu, and the loss of his mother when he was a child is Fu Bo who took time out of his busy schedule to take care of him and Xue Chengyi, and cared about him no less than their biological father.

And Xu Hong gave him a different feeling, as long as he opened his eyes and could see that Xu Hong's heart was as sweet as eating candied fruit, Xu Hong's every move was worth appreciating. Whenever I look at his thin little body dangling on my face, I really want to take it into my arms and give him the greatest protection and love. Sometimes Xue Chengyu couldn't help but wonder, I'm afraid he doesn't have a habit of breaking his sleeves......

It turns out that he does have ......

Xu Hong felt a little awkward atmosphere between the two, took a bite of the pear, and said timidly: "Actually, I have always had a question I want to ask the young master...... I just didn't dare to ask...... I'm afraid that the young master will be angry......"

Xue Chengyu hooked the corners of his mouth and replied with a light smile: "But it doesn't hurt to ask." ”

Xu Hong hesitated for a moment before daring to speak: "What was the reason why the young master left me behind...... There are many people in the Xue Mansion who are more flexible than me in taking care of the young master, and Fu Bo is the most meticulous person who takes care of the young master, why would he finally let an outsider who was picked up from the snow take care of the young master...... This doesn't make sense......"

This problem made Xue Chengyu very embarrassed, leaving Xu Hong was only out of the benevolence of the doctor, in order not to let him die in the winter, but at that time, Xin made a private decision to control his brain to say those words and leave Xu Hong. is also a person who suffers from the end of the world, and is also a doctor who suffers because of snow, if these fates are not counted, then what else can bring the two together? It is said that it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and only when two doctors are together can they heal each other's pain.

Xue Chengyu bit the apple to cover up that he hadn't yet thought of a reply, and his eyes, which were as quiet as water, finally rippled, and he was cautious and tentative, and asked sideways: "Why does Xiao Hong have such doubts, isn't there someone chewing the root of his tongue behind his back and talking about me in vain?" ”

"No, young master...... No one gossips...... It's just that...... I just feel that everything is like a dream now, and I'm afraid that everything will no longer exist when I wake up from the dream......," Xu Hong hurriedly explained, for fear that he would make Xue Chengyu angry.

"From being rescued from fleeing to being able to stay with the young master...... It came so suddenly...... I'm afraid I'm too stupid to take care of the young master...... I'm afraid that I will anger the young master because of my stupidity...... I'm afraid that the young master will drive me away if he gets angry...... I like to stay with the young master...... I...... I don't want to leave the young master......" Xu Hong's emotions became more and more excited, and the last few words seemed to be roared out with all his might, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet night, and even the stars in the sky twinkled as if they were frightened.

This is what Xu Hong wanted to say for a long time, from the first time he saw Xue Chengyu, he wanted to stay by Xue Chengyu's side, as long as he didn't drive him away, he was willing to be a cow and a horse. Xu Hong had tears in his eyes, and he kept his head down and didn't dare to look directly at Xue Chengyu.

Xue Chengyu was also quite shocked when he heard Xu Hong say this, and slowly stretched out his hand to lift Xu Hong's face, and the indescribable feelings when the four eyes met were finally confirmed.

He also loves him, and that momentary heartbeat is the best proof.

"Don't worry, I won't drive you away, I'm ...... I also like to have Xiaohong by my side. ”

Xu Hong didn't expect Xue Chengyu to give him such a direct answer, and he was stunned for a long time before squeezing out a sentence, "The young master won't be making fun of me......"

Xue Chengyu took Xu Hong's hand, stroked the bony fingers, put his face close to Xu Hong, and looked at him seriously, "Have I ever deceived Xiao Hong?" ”

Xu Hong had never looked at Xue Chengyu so closely, and the faint moonlight cast on Xue Chengyu's face, and his soft gaze made Xu Hong look in a daze. In an instant, his little face turned red, and even the tips of his ears were red, and he stammered back: "No...... I never ......"

Xue Chengyu held Xu Hong's hand tightly, and said with a light smile: "Xu Hong, don't be afraid of anything by my side, I can block it for you!" ”
