Chapter 22: The Mandarin Duck Dream Chapter 2

Previous Chapter

The rising sun is soft and bright, with the breath of laurel, and the warmth of late autumn is released. Outside the window, the magpie flapped its wings and flew in shock, Shen Jue was looking at the catalpa chessboard on the table, he was wearing an ordinary cyan long robe, the silk silk around his waist hung low to the ground, and his long hair was only fixed with a wooden hairpin, and he did not wear a crown. The chessboard was covered with a brocade with several jade playthings on it, and next to it was a hot medicine bowl. Shen Jue casually picked up a jade pendant and played with it, and glanced at Liu Lin lying on the bed: "Why don't you take the medicine?" ”

"I'm afraid of suffering." Liu Lin covered his pale face and replied casually in a muffled voice.

"Brother Lin, Guigeng, is still afraid of hardship." Shen Jue held the jade pendant in his hand, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you know how to take care of your body on weekdays, you will be spared the pain of drinking medicine today." Do you regret it now? The longer you delay, the more effort you have to take medicine. ”

Liu Lin hummed dispensably.

"Don't be afraid, the medicine will put white sugar on you, it's not bitter." Shen Jue waited for a while, but didn't see him say anything else, and his tone was a little softer: "In the past few days, I know that you have anger in your heart." Day and night, now you have not reached the crown, I have no fame, even if I promise, I am afraid that it will be like a good epiphany, when I see it. If you use this method to punish yourself, it is not only you who is wrong. This matter is not without room for manoeuvre, when you recover, let's talk about it, okay? took out the medicine box under the bed, and there was a hint of intimacy on his face: "I'm not indistinguishable from intimacy, it's precisely because I attach too much importance to intimacy that I can't calm down, and I always look for some reason to be estranged from you." It's okay for you and me to be close, but it's just that I'm sick and injured and fighting, I'm afraid that someone will not be able to bear it - it's better to take medicine to treat the disease first, apply medicine to heal the wounds, and then pour out my money to fill the upper and lower mouths. ”

Shen Jue said while taking a closer look at Liu Lin.

Liu Lin bit his lip and reluctantly tore off the silk jacket to expose the knee injury. Naughty in his early years, he was afraid of being discovered by his father, so he hid the medicine box under the bed, and over time it became a habit. The heart, which was broken, softened again: "Brother Jue, I actually know that you ......"

"Willing to drink the medicine?" Shen Jue uncovered the white cloth at his knees, washed the blood stains with medicated water, took a few flavors of Chinese medicine and ground them into powder and applied them to the wound, raised his eyes, and met Liu Lin's dark and bright eyes.

The two lines of sight touched and quickly separated, and their feelings were secret. Shen Jue tied the white cloth again, pondered for a moment and spoke: "Yes, I know you know." ”

"How could I not know, you know, I know......" Liu Lin slowly opened his lips and whispered, leaning his head on the high embroidered pillow. He wanted to tease the people in front of him like he did on weekdays, and he wanted to laugh with the people in front of him like he used to do, but he couldn't lift his spirits, and although the injury on his knee was smeared, his heart was still bloody: "That's it, you go and rest." ”

Shen Jue sank his face and stared at him persistently: "Last night, the front foot left, and the back foot broke the medicine bowl, if you didn't take the medicine today, how dare I rest." ”

"What if I insist on refusing to take the medicine," Liu Lin showed a faint sneer, and raised his chin in the medicine bowl: "Could it be that Brother Jue wants to learn from the women in the brothel and feed me mouth-to-mouth?" Or some other way to force me to drink it? He pretended to be careless and straightened out his shirt.

"If you want me to feed you medicine like this, it's okay." Shen Jue hesitated for a moment, pressed over and approached, hugged Liu Lin horizontally and sat up on his lap, and whispered in his reddened ear: "Liu Xianggong, open your mouth quickly......"

The heat blew into his ears and surprise emerged from the depths of his dark eyes. Shen Jue has always been rigorous, Liu Lin had never heard him say such a thing, even though he pursed his lips, he turned his head with difficulty: "No, no need." Brother Jue, I ate salty porridge for breakfast, and suddenly felt a little thirsty, so it is better to drink water first and then take medicine. ”

Shen Jue watched Liu Lin lie helplessly, and tested the temperature of the side of the bowl, and felt that it was just right, so he scooped up a spoon and sent it to Liu Lin's mouth: "The temperature of the medicine is just right, don't drink water, you should drink the medicine as water now." ”

The smell of medicine was tangy, and Liu Lin looked at the spoon again and again, but he couldn't open his mouth. Seeing this, Shen Jue directly stuffed it in. The entrance of the medicinal juice, his mouth was full of bitterness, Liu Lin's face was pale, and he wanted to vomit or not-

No sugar, bitter.

"Don't throw up!" Shen Jue said coldly. Liu Lin was startled and swallowed. The bitterness of the medicine penetrates the root of the tongue and spreads from the throat to the whole body, lingering for a long time. Seeing Shen Jue scoop up another spoonful and hand it to him, his face suddenly changed greatly, he refused to open his mouth again, and his pale face flushed with a thin red, not shy, but slightly annoyed: "You! Before he opened his mouth, the spoonful of decoction was forced in.

Spoonful after spoonful, the root of the tongue is bitter and bitter, as if eating Coptis chinensis. As soon as he swallowed, Shen Jue handed the spoon in front of him again. Once in the past, Liu Lin refused to open his mouth no matter what. He didn't have much strength to resist, so he was in a stalemate with Shen Jue.

"Can't stand it?" Shen Jue looked at the annoyed face, and deliberately let Liu Lin remember it for a long time: "Since you don't like to drink, you will protect yourself more in the future." You need to take this medicine for seven days, and the rest will continue. ”

The black medicinal juice reflected the print on the edge of the bowl, and there was still a small half bowl of medicine, Liu Lin completely lost his temper, held Shen Jue's hand holding the spoon, and put it back into the bowl in despair. After hesitating again and again, he snatched the medicine bowl, raised his head and drank the rest of the medicine, glanced at Shen Jue, frowned, and said, "I don't believe in it." ”

Putting the medicine bowl back, Shen Jue took out the oiled paper bag from the carved tray and put it in Liu Lin's empty palm, smiling without saying a word. Liu Lin found that Shen Jue had brought other things in, and when he opened the oil paper bag, it was full of lotus cakes, drizzled with thick sugar juice, and the aroma was sweet.

"You...... Specially brought to me? ”

"Hmm." Shen Jue picked up the lotus cake and brought it to Liu Lin's lips: "Taste how it tastes." ”

Liu Lin grabbed Shen Jue's hand and bit off the corner of the petal. The sweetness diluted the bitterness, the taste of medicine in his mouth dissipated, and his heart was much better, he lay back on the bed, and his fingers hooked the silk silk around Shen Jue's waist and played: "Brother Jue, do your words count?" ”

Shen Jue pressed the hand that was wrapped in silk and walked upstream, slowly scraped it with his fingernails, grinded and twisted for a moment, and bit his ruddy earlobe and said vaguely: "Liu Xianggong, finish taking the medicine, I will give you an explanation after I recover." ”

"Okay, I'll wait." Liu Lin's eyes flashed slightly, and the smile he evoked was so pure, it was a little dazzling, even if a hard-hearted person saw it, he was afraid that he would be tempted. But in front of Shen Jue, this smile was like an invisible layer of ice, and the more intimate he became, the more alienated he became.

Love is as deep as the wind and snow, it is a knot and a catastrophe, if you have to be with the white head, I only wish to be together.
