Nalan Xuyi sat outside the house alone, and he raised his eyes to see Xie Chuyi, who was only wearing a single coat on the edge of the pool opposite. After settling down Yazhi, the next day he followed his father Nalan Rongque to the Liang Palace, and after seeing Xie Chuyi, he found that he was the one who peeked at them outside the medical hall, and Nalan Xuyi did not demolish him.

Nalan Rongque and Xie Chuyi got along for a day, but Xie Chuyi didn't say a word to him. Nalan Xuyi heard that he couldn't speak, although he was a little curious. But he was still in no mood to care about the others, and he pretended not to see it, and he didn't care in the slightest. Who knew that Xie Chuyi slowly walked over and sat beside him.

The breeze was blowing in the courtyard, and only the two of them were looking at the lotus blossom in this pond.

"You still haven't rested so late, you sneak out quietly, if Uncle Xie finds out, the servants who take care of you will suffer. Nalan Xuyi persuaded him.

Xie Chuyi didn't reply to him, nor did he make any moves.

Seeing that he didn't react, Nalan Xuyi opened his mouth and said, "It's not good for you to deceive your father like this, you can obviously speak." ”

Xie Chuyi raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes full of surprise.

"There are two situations for people who can't speak in general. One is that you can't hear it, and the other is that you can't hear it. As usual, you are deaf and dumb, and during the day, depending on your reaction, you can understand people's speech, and my dad checked you and didn't find anything wrong with your throat. My dad never misdiagnosed, so I judged you to be dumb. Nalan Xuyi looked into his eyes and said.

Xie Chuyi found that the child in front of him of his age was actually clear-headed and spoke like a little adult, which was completely different from when he was alone. What attracted Xie Chuyi to come? Xie Chuyi took out a ceramic wine jug from his arms and handed it to Nalan Xuyi.

Nalan Xuyi took it and sniffed it, found that it was a pot of sake, and handed it back to Xie Chuyi: "I am not yet old, and the family rules stipulate that you cannot drink alcohol." ”

Xie Chuyi took the wine jug, pulled it with his hand, and pulled out the lid on the wine jug. Turning his back to Nalan Xuyi, he held the wine jug to the full moon in the sky, as if toasting, and then raised his head and drank it in one gulp. Then he smiled and said, "Brother, there is a trace of emotion in your eyes similar to mine, so I'm just looking for you to relieve your worries." ”

"I'm carefree. Nalan Xuyi looked at the lotus flower in the pool and just said calmly.

Xie Chuyi knew in his heart that the people of the Nalan family had always been cold, and when he saw that he couldn't talk to Nalan Xuyi, he left the white porcelain wine jug, and then left.

Seeing that his every move was imitating Xie Yu, Nalan Xuyi actually had a sense of being connected to the same fate, and immediately touched the wine jug. Xie Chuyi left half a bottle for him, Nalan Xuyi was stunned for a second, and then he completely drank the sake from this wine jug. Xie Chuyi, who walked to the opposite side, glanced back at him, and happened to stop when he saw this scene.

Nalan Xuyi felt that the wine was choking, and then he felt the blood in his body accelerate, and there was an indescribable emotion that exploded in his heart. In the two years since he had studied the Tao of Ruthlessness, he did not have the uncontrollable emotions he has now. He remembered that the day before yesterday, he took his father to send something to the Ye family, and he met Ye Ruying.

"Brother...... Tomorrow is my birthday, will you come......? I have something for you to ......," Ye Ruying said, taking his hand.

"I will. I have something to give you, too. Nalan Xuyi thought for a while and put down the mung bean cake in his hand. From his sleeve he took out a lacquered cinnabar box with a six-petal lotus motif on it. This box is a bit longer than his.

"I'll give it to you now, I can't wait. Nalan Xuyi's ears flushed: "Look at how much you like my cinnabar box." So I made one for you, which is something only the girls of the Nalan family have. In addition to cinnabar, there is also carmine powder. Would you like it?"

Ye Ruying replied to him with great surprise: "I like it, thank you." Then I'll give it to you now, I'll give you one first, and I'll give you the rest, but I'll give it to you tomorrow. ”

"It's like it's my birthday. Nalan Xuyi said with a smile.

"You can't refuse! You stretch out your hand~" Ye Ruying pretended to be angry and said.

Seeing her cuteness, Nalan Xuyi just heard her reach out, he thought he was going to give him something, and subconsciously spread his palms. only heard a "click", and Nalan Xuyi only felt cold at the wrist. It turned out that Ye Ruying brought him a wedding bracelet engraved with his name.

Nalan Xuyi was a little surprised and raised her hand to look at this silver bracelet, which turned out to be an extremely familiar wedding bracelet, with the name of the girl in front of her engraved on it. Both wedding bracelets are worn on each other's hands, which means that the marriage is in effect.

"You can't forget what you said~"

In a trance, Nalan Xuyi slipped the wine bottle from his fingernails and shattered to the ground. He lowered his head and put his hands on his chest, his elbows resting on his laps. The whole body bent down. He looked at the fragments on the ground, the "Ruthless Heart Sutra" running in his body was covered by his emotions, and in an instant his tears flowed down the bridge of his nose.

Xie Chuyi looked at his appearance, and he didn't know what Liu Shenbai, who was standing beside him, whispered to him: "Didn't you go to him to solve your worries? Why did everyone cry because of you?" Xie Chuyi didn't reply to him, and immediately walked briskly back to Nalan Xuyi's side.

Nalan Xuyi asked Xie Chuyi why this was the case, and asked, "Why did the living people I saw during the day disappear at night?"

Xie Chuyi thought that what he was talking about was the death of the deceased, and sat beside him again: "There must always be birth, old age, sickness and death." ”

"You know, there is a situation that is worse than death, that is, the whereabouts are unknown, and you don't know whether you live or die. Nalan Xuyi's voice trembled.

"But that's good. Xie Chuyi said softly, his eyes flashing: "The unknown whereabouts also indicate that there is hope that he is still alive, if he dies in a word, he is dead, and the cold corpse will never live again." ”

"The same is true of my mother, and the same is true of my nursing mother. In contrast, the unknown whereabouts are still hopeful......" Xie Chuyi said, placing one hand on Nalan Xuyi's shoulder.

Nalan Xuyi turned his face to look at Xie Chuyi, Xie Chuyi didn't know why, and he felt a sense of pity when he saw him.

"You've broken the house rules and drunk, and you know I can talk. I'll keep it a secret for you, and you'll keep it a secret for me. Xie Chuyi smiled at him.

"Okay, but why are you pretending you can't speak?"

"This one...... I just want my dad to care more about me. I didn't expect him to invite Mr. directly......" Xie Chuyi felt guilty: "However, you are also here, I have a new friend." ”

"When did I promise to be your friend?" Nalan Xuyi wiped away her tears and returned to her original state.

"Just now, you drank my wine and told me what was on your mind, isn't that counted?" Xie Chuyi's eyes rolled and he immediately got up, saluted with both hands and said very formally: "Xie Chuyi, the only son of Xie Yu, the king of Xialiang, is from the Central Plains, and he is eight years old this year. Please ask your friend's name. ”

"Nalan Xuyi. His simple four words made Xie Chuyi stunned.

"The eldest son of Nalan Rongque, the one hundred and twenty-sixth patriarch of the Nalan family, his family members are Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he is the same age. Seeing that he was stunned, Nalan Xuyi added again.

Xie Chuyi looked at him with a look of envy: "We all have a word in our names that read yi, and we are all the same age, when were you born? I am October." ”

"July. ”

"You're really older than me...... I really called your brother just now. ”

Nalan Xuyi raised his head and looked at Xie Chuyi, he didn't seem to be a waste as rumored outside, so he comforted himself. If it weren't for the fact that the elders in the family taught him not to associate with the royal people, which led to his inexplicable hostility towards the royal people, Nalan Xuyi found that he shouldn't treat him like this, and he re-examined it.
