When it was dark, it began to rain, and the lanterns were shaking with a chaotic raindrop. The palace wall is narrow and deep, the lights are dim and unknown, and the shadowy lights are ghosts dancing wildly.

Chu Zhixia was helped out of the palace gate by the eunuch, and Yuzhu greeted him with a roar.

The eunuch only felt a black shadow coming over, and Chu Zhixia was picked up horizontally and hugged into the carriage. The person holding Chu Zhixia was shrouded in a blue-gray cloak and wore a hat on his head, and the eunuch didn't even see his face clearly.

Chu Zhixia was tightly covered in his arms, and Yuzhu chased after him with an umbrella.

"Don't don't, I'm fine!" Chu Zhixia pushed and refused to press the wrist on her knee, and said continuously.

Yuzhu was so frightened that her soul flew away, "Shen Zhou, do you want to take off Miss's pants!?" The second son knows that he will kill you! ”

Shen Zhou slammed down.

"I'm really fine." Chu Zhixia took off his boots, removed the armor pieces on his knees, and took out the wet knee pads from them, "I knew that there was such an incident when I went out today, and I was prepared." ”

The carriage was covered with animal skin cushions, and Chu Zhixia's toes were as white as jade stepping on the mat, like a pearl surrounded by wild beasts. The calf was slender and slender, soaked in a layer of water, and was dazzlingly white when reflected by the rain outside the window.

Shen Zhou's throat rolled, and he looked away.

Yuzhu hurriedly pounced on her and covered her legs with a cloak, "My eldest miss, even if Shen Zhou grew up wearing the same pants as you, you can't ...... If you let people know, how can you marry in the future! ”

Chu Zhixia took off his light armor, and the golden cicada burst out of the pile of iron pieces like a shell. Without the blessing of gold and iron, she is also a slender girl, not petite. The long hair like a waterfall of clear water spread down and brushed past the ears of the sinking boat.

"Sink the boat, turn your head." Chu Zhixia casually ordered, regardless of whether he turned around or not, he took off his sweat-soaked underwear.

Shen Zhou blindfolded his eyes with a strip of cloth and listened to the sound of rustling clothes in his ears, like the layers of falling leaves in autumn. In a trance, Shen Zhou heard a thunderous heartbeat in his chest.

Chu Zhixia changed into dry clothes, so comfortable that he wanted to take a nap.

"Now that it's changed, don't you still have to get wet when you get out of the carriage." Yuzhu sighed.

"There's a sinking boat, it won't."

Chu Zhixia smiled and pinched Shen Zhou's ear, and felt the heat of his hand. She was stunned, but Shen Zhou covered her hand and didn't let go. Just as there was a roaring thunder outside the carriage, Chu Zhixia suddenly realized, covered his ears, and almost held him in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Chu Zhixia comforted like a child, "It's just thunder." ”

Shen Zhou naturally clenched his fist on her lower back, enjoying this imminent embrace with peace of mind.

Yuzhu rolled her eyes.

——

Chu Zhixia remembered that Shen Zhou was afraid of thunder.

When the sinking boat could just see, he couldn't hear.

At that time, Chu Zhixia looked at him like a doll carved out of ice and snow, sitting quietly among a bunch of cats and dogs, cute and pitiful. Chu Zhixia felt that he had got a very beautiful toy, so he pinched the puppy's paw and put it in his palm, which was regarded as a gesture of goodwill.

Shen Zhou didn't dare to hold it.

The paws in the hands are warm and soft and hairy. The girl holding the puppy will show two tiger teeth when she laughs, and her eyes will be so bright that they will sting. But the girl's neck is so thin that Shen Zhou can break it with just one hand.

All good things are to be broken in his hands.

Shen Zhou didn't take anyone's hand, and every time he approached his companions named "Ren", it was to cut their throats.

But the girl in front of him was not his "prey", he did not receive an "order". So Shen Zhou could only hold his fists on his knees and watch the bouncing girl with his eyelashes lowered. Shen Zhou even breathed evenly, and only following Chu Zhixia's gaze was slightly twitched.

It is like a silent lake swept by falling peach blossoms.

——

Chu Shixia was not discouraged when she didn't get a response, she blamed all this on Shen Zhou's inability to hear.

Children who can't hear, why be harsh.

What's more, he is so good-looking, even if he doesn't speak, sitting there is enough to be pleasing to the eye.

Chu Zhixia looked at Shen Zhou's face, coaxed himself to the point of excitement, and went to tease Shen Zhou like a jade doll the next day.

——

The day when the sunken boat's ears could hear the sound was a rare stormy weather.

The staff in the study said that it was a heavy rainstorm in the clouds once in 20 years. The thunder shook the window lattices, and the trees in the courtyard rattled. The thunder seemed to tear the heavens and the earth, and the pale lightning pierced the ground.

Chu Zhixia was not afraid, she was going to go to Chu Mingyan's room with a pillow to be coquettish, but she remembered Shen Zhou by surprise.

When she opened the door, the bedroom was empty, and there was no one.

Chu Zhixia thought that he had run away again, but before she could call someone, the whole room was illuminated by lightning as bright as day. At a glance, she saw the sunken boat huddled in the corner of the wall and shivering, like a small beast that had been carried out of its nest, huddled in a corner that thought it was safe in a panic and fear.

"Shen Zhou is not afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of thunder...... Chu Zhixia learned from his brother, hugged him awkwardly, and patted him on the back.

——

To this day, Chu Zhixia didn't know that Shen Zhou was not afraid of thunder.

The silent world was suddenly broken, and the sinking boat was certainly panicked. But he was trained to be indifferent in the face of the sea of corpses and blood, tears and begging, even if he pretended, he could pretend to be calm.

But the wind and rain seemed to tear this little room apart, and he had nothing left in his hands.

This scared him, and he was only safe if he had a knife or blood in his hand.

The misshapen iron bar revived in his mind, and in a trance, he thought he was back in a cage where the smell of rust and blood was intertwined.

Unable to tell the difference between the sound of a thunderstorm and the roar of a wild beast, he instinctively took it as a precursor to danger and buried himself in the corner of the room.

With his back against a wall without temperature, and no one approaching, the sinking boat could get a little comfort.

For as long as he can remember, the most dangerous thing has always been people.

It was a person who smiled and handed him candy one second, and it was also a person who stabbed him in the stomach the next second; It is a man who locks children of the same age in a room for three days and three nights, and lures them with a ladle of water to kill each other; Kneeling in a pool of blood in their family members and weeping bitterly, it is also human who pleads for a glimmer of life.

The moment Shen Zhou recovered his hearing, he grabbed the broken porcelain piece that he had hidden in his arms day and night.

The girl's crisp voice was so fragile in the storm that it was fragile enough to make Shen Zhou panic.

He clearly hadn't heard Chu Zhixia's voice, but he still trembled when that voice suddenly appeared. Before Shen Zhou could judge what the girl was saying, the man who pushed open his door gave him a hot hug.

The person who hugged him didn't know that the killing machine hung over her throat, and as long as he took an inch, he could make her blood splash on the spot.

The hug, with its faint fragrance, easily soothed his shivers.

"Shen Zhou, don't be afraid."

Shen Zhou did not understand the meaning of this passage at the time.

But this rhythm is the first whisper from the world that Shen Zhou heard in his clear memory.

So he let go of the broken porcelain piece he was holding in his palm, and his palm was dripping with blood.

——

Chu Zhixia knelt in front of the Xuanzheng Hall for a day, and was tacitly pressed down by everyone, and only a few people knew.

It rained heavily that day, and the rushing water washed away the sweat stains on the steps.

For several days, the imperial capital was cloudy and rainy.

Chu Zhixia was greedy for coolness, stepping barefoot on the path paved with bluestone in the garden, and the moon-white skirt was soaked. She casually broke off a begonia flower and threw it in the turquoise water, and the fish under the water swarmed up and dispersed in disappointment.

"It's boring." Chu Zhixia leaned on the railing of the pavilion and sighed.

A pebble shot into the water and struck the head of one of the fattest koi, which slumped into the midst of its companions.

Chu Zhixia suddenly stroked his palms and laughed.

The maid passing by under the porch was startled by her.

"Shen Zhou, do you know what Deng Mian is doing?" Chu Zhixia asked.

The top of the pavilion turned down a shadow, and Shen Zhou used the hilt of his sword to top the hat that was dripping water, revealing his slender and powerful eyebrows. He didn't know how long he had been in the rain, with a cold smell of water.

"Drink flower wine." Shen Zhou summed it up simply.

"What a straw bale." Chu Zhixia sighed.

Chu Zhixia knelt down and retreated, completely pinching the three guards of Yulin Wei in his hands. If the families do not retreat, then they will give their children to her; If they retreat, there will be no more constraints in the three guards of Yulin Wei, and after that, it will be the world of Chu Zhixia.

The situation is anxious, the stakes are intertwined, and Deng Mian is still drinking flower wine.

"Where does he drink flower wine? Let's check it out too. Chu Zhixia asked.

Shen Zhou didn't answer, but just asked with a vague expression: "You also want to drink flower wine?" ”

There are not only charming beauties in the court, but also male prostitutes with delicate appearances and gentle care. In the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, there are many stories about the daughter who is inconvenient to reveal her name and eloped for a certain rabbit master.

Shen Zhou's fingers were the color of white porcelain, and there was a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips, as if he had unintentionally brought a strand of broken hair behind Chu Shixia's ear. Chu Zhixia inexplicably read a little danger from his sign language.

"What's so good about flower wine, there will be no better-looking man in this world than our sinking boat." Chu Zhixia coaxed him sincerely, pinched his fingers and said, "I'll go and see what Deng Mian and them are doing." ”

Shen Zhou was coaxed to feel comfortable physically and mentally, and nodded reluctantly.

Yuzhu on the side shook her head vigorously, "Miss, don't do it!" Even the old prince has never been to such a pickled place, if the prince knew......"

Chu Zhixia pinched a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into Yuzhu's mouth, patted her bulging cheeks and said, "My brother won't know." Even if I know, I'm going with Shen Zhou, what are I afraid of? ”

Yuzhu turned her head to look at Shen Zhou.

Shen Zhou has been superior in skin since he was a child, otherwise he would not be able to coax Chu Zhixia, who went to the house to uncover the tiles and go into the water to fish, honestly stayed by his side and teased him.

The boy had already lost the baby fat on his cheeks, and the sharp and hard edges and corners were revealed little by little. The black pupils do not contain a little warmth, and they are covered by the thick eyelashes, and they give birth to a little bit of cool tenderness.

This is much more seductive than those male fox spirits in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.

I'm more worried, okay! Yuzhu has bitterness and can't say.
