April 211 BC

The smell of soothing incense permeated the room, and I stared blankly at the bamboo slips spread out in front of me, without reading a word. The door was suddenly gently pushed open from the outside, and I looked up, and then I still looked down at the book.

It's long.

"You've been reading every day, why is it so interesting?" he knelt down across the table and gently placed a food box beside him.

"It's not a special book, just to pass the time. I tapped the bamboo slip lightly, and asked in a somewhat cold tone, "What is the matter with Brother Eldest Brother today?"

"I heard you haven't eaten properly in two days. He opened the food box, took out a plate of delicate and small snacks and put it in front of me, and gently advised: "Even if you are sad, don't damage your body." ”

"Do you think I can't think about Xiao Xu's affairs?" I smiled bitterly, closed the book, and said in a difficult voice: "After going through so many things, I always have some reasons to let myself live." ”

"You've always been strong, I don't think you can't see it. He took out a pair of delicate bamboo chopsticks and handed them to me, and said with a smile: "It's just that I'm anxious to see you getting thinner and thinner." ”

I hesitated, but took the bamboo chopsticks he handed over.

The pastries are beautiful, crystal clear, and small. I picked up a piece with my chopsticks and fed it to my mouth, and my mouth was soon filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.

"Flowers?" I asked.

"Yes, the pear blossoms in my yard are blooming, and they are very beautiful. The chef always felt that it would be a waste to wait until the flowers were gone, so he made this small snack. Changxi cautiously asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sweet but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and delicious. I put down my chopsticks, met his somewhat happy gaze, and suddenly said, "Brother Changxi, I'll go to your courtyard to have a look, look at the pear blossoms." ”

A trace of consternation passed through his face, and then it was quickly replaced by an apologetic smile, and he said helplessly, "I'm afraid it won't work these days." ”

"That's it. I smiled, "I'm abrupt, since it's inconvenient, I won't bother." ”

"If you like it, I'll ask someone to send a few that are growing just right, and they will look great in a bottle. As if he wanted to make up for something, he said very enthusiastically: "Why don't I ask those little eunuchs for a favor and transplant the most vibrant trees?"

"Nope. I picked up another piece of snack and fed it to my mouth, lowered my eyes and said, "I appreciate the kindness of Brother Changxi, but I'm a little tired today, Brother Changxi, please go back." ”

Changxi's eager eyes flashed, and then went out. He sighed lightly, got up and said, "Then I'll go back, you want to ...... You have to take care of yourself. ”

I nodded, and the heat in my eyes was suppressed. Pouring snow, pouring snow, it's his business to leave, what right do you have to be sad and sad?

It was so muddy that I didn't feel sleepy until it got dark. As the hour wore on, I sat in front of the bronze mirror, combing my hair like a puppet.

Luoying suddenly pushed the door in, she seemed to be still immersed in sleep, and lay on the door in a daze and said to me, "Sister Xue'er...... The eldest son is looking for you...... Just outside the yard......"

My heart trembled, I threw down my comb and ran out.

Tonight, the moon is like water, and Changxi is bathed in white under the moonlight, which is even more beautiful than this boundless moonlight.

Yes, he has always been so beautiful, beautiful people like him, how dare I touch them?

"Cher. He smiled softly, "Follow me." ”

He took me to the courtyard where he lived, and the pear blossoms in the courtyard reflected the moonlight, glowing a faint silver.

"It's beautiful. I looked at the trees full of silver, and I couldn't help but say: "Pear blossom pear blossom, parting flower." No wonder they all say that the most beautiful thing is when parting, but this is really the case. ”

As if someone had stabbed me severely, Changxi turned his head to look at me and asked in disbelief, "Xue'er...... You...... How do you know?"

"It doesn't matter, it's important...... "I looked up at him, "you're leaving tomorrow." ”

Changxi looked very depressed, and his original gentleness and elegance were soon replaced by deep powerlessness.

"I wanted to wait. His eyelids drooped and he said self-deprecatingly, "It doesn't seem necessary." ”

"Brother Changxi, you are a man who is destined to make a difference. I sat down on a stone under the tree, picked up a flower that had fallen on my lap, and said lightly, "You don't belong to this place, you don't belong to me." ”

"What about you?" he suddenly asked, "and you are willing to stay in this kind of place for the rest of your life, and you will spend the best years of your life here?"

"That's the difference between us. I laughed, "You're not reconciled, and I never thought about leaving." ”

"Xue'er!" Changxi squatted down in front of me, he took my hand, looked at me with his deep pool-like eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Come with me." There may be a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, but as long as you are there, I will be satisfied. ”

"Long Xi. I reached out and grabbed a strand of his long hair hanging down from my shoulder, and said to myself, "You are so good, I want to love you so much." But I didn't dare. ”

"Why don't you dare?" You must understand my affection for you!" He was a little excited: "Since the day you took me away a year ago, I have engraved you in my heart and melted into my blood, how can you not understand this?"

"The male pheasant flies and vents its feathers. My bosom is self-sufficient. The male pheasant flies, up and down its sound. Show a gentleman, work hard for my heart. Compare the sun and the moon, and think about it. The clouds of the road are far away, can the clouds come?" I smiled and said: "My favorite in "Shao Feng" is "Male Pheasant", although there are no exaggerated words, but it is full of true feelings. Changxi, you can go back with confidence, I will regard you as a brother and respect you for the rest of my life. ”

"Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Cher, I don't believe you haven't thought so, I don't believe you only think of me as a brother!" He squeezed my hand tightly, his eyes squeezing pleadingly, "Come with me." ”

"But you already have someone to grow old with. I didn't look at him and sighed, "You know me so well, you know I won't agree." ”

At this point in the conversation, Changxi withdrew his hand in a bit of dejection, and he stared at my face for a long time as if he wanted to carve me into his heart. Then, he bent down lightly and rested his head on my lap, his long jet-black hair scattered at my feet like a waterfall.

The evening breeze is light, the night is quiet, and the trees are full of silver flowers blooming arbitrarily, which is like an illusory dream scene. I reached out and stroked my long, silky hair and let him sigh like a child.

Tears slid down my face, dripped onto his hair, and quickly vanished. It was the first time I was so close to him, we snuggled up to each other, felt each other's warmth, and didn't want to be separated for a long time.

The soft cry of the cuckoo bird sounded in the trees, and the voice was so mournful that it seemed to say: It is better to go back, it is better to return......

This is the tenth year after Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms, and in this Afang Palace, which carries Yingzheng's countless absurd dreams, I finally want to say goodbye to this young man named Changxi.
