I picked up a ghost and took it home

On New Year's Eve, Meng Zhe sent someone to bring money to Xiaoqi to prepare to buy New Year's goods for the New Year.

Xiao Qi looked at the silver on the table, not as elated as usual, and did not reach out to touch it.He applied medicine on Yan Qi's face and body, forced a smile, and comforted him, "It's much better."

Yan Qi nodded with a smile, but sat down at the table, pressing his finger on the cool silver ingot.

Xiao Qi looked at Yan Qi silently, and suddenly said: "Brother Yan, what are your plans for the future?"

Yan Qi pushed the money on the table towards Xiao Qi, and gestured: "Keep it well, you can use it."

"But—" Xiao Qi's jaw trembled, and he choked up, "Xiao Qi doesn't want it."

Yan Qi gestured, "I was bullied because I had no money, so keep it."

Only then did Xiao Qi swallow a few tears, took the money away, and locked it in the cabinet.Yan Qi looked at Xiao Qi's figure with frowned eyebrows, feeling a little worried.Xiao Qi locked the cabinet and handed the key to Yan Qi.Yan Qi stuffed the key into Xiao Qi's palm, and gestured: "Take it, and when I need it, I will find you."

Xiaoqi hesitated for a while, thinking of Yan Qi being stripped naked by Meng Che, she felt sad for a while, so she put the key away.

Yan Qi gestured again: "Xiao Qi, go learn a craft."

"What craft?" Xiaoqi asked blankly.

Yan Qi gestured: "Tailor, luthier, carpenter, shopkeeper, cook, any one is fine, what do you want to learn?"

Xiao Qi asked, "Where's Brother Yan?"

Yan Qi smiled, a little sad, and gestured: "I know all about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and even a little bit of martial arts, but these are useless to me."

Xiao Qi said: "I want to be the shopkeeper and become a rich man in the future."

Yan Qi raised his hand to touch Xiao Qi's head, nodded, and gestured, "I'll teach you how to read first."

Xiao Qi finally showed a smile.

After the New Year, it is the Lantern Festival.Although Jinguan City is high on the mountain and the emperor is far away, it is still a lively scene.

However, this small courtyard in the alley in the south of the city is extremely quiet.The plum blossoms in the corner of the courtyard are in full bloom, but no one appreciates them. Yan Qi spends every day thinking of ways to teach Xiao Qi to learn how to read as soon as possible. On the desk, there are stacks of pictures of all kinds, with words below the pictures.

Because Yan Qi couldn't speak, he couldn't teach Xiao Qi how to read, so he had to teach him how to read and write first.

After the Chinese New Year, Yan Qi plans to send Xiao Qi to a private school.

In this world, his parents and relatives were imprisoned many years ago, and they were all executed. Although he escaped, came to this Jinguan City alive, and met the person he wanted to meet, but... he Finally, he gave up, despaired, and decided not to have anything to do with him. The only thing he cared about was Xiao Qi.

If Xiaoqi is not settled well, he can't go where he wants to go.

Xiaoqi's talent is not considered smart, and he studied late, but he is hardworking and determined, so he is making rapid progress.

At noon on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Yan Qi was drinking on the couch, drank for a while, and fell asleep quietly.Before the case, Xiao Qi immersed himself in learning words and memorized them by rote.

As soon as Meng Zhe came in, he smelled the fragrance of ink all over the room. He was a little surprised to see Xiao Qi sitting behind the desk.Xiao Qiyi raised his head and saw Meng Zhe, a fright flashed in his eyes, he quickly put down his pen, stepped forward to salute, "Young Master Meng, you are here."

Meng Zhe noticed that Xiao Qi was a little afraid of him, so he didn't ask any more questions. He looked at Yan Qi who was sleeping soundly on the couch, and walked to the desk. ?”

Xiao Qi followed and said politely: "If you go back to your son, my brother will teach me how to read."

"Oh?" Meng Zhe didn't ask any more questions, "Go and boil the pot of wine."

"Yes." Before going out, Xiao Qi glanced worriedly at Yan Qi who was sleeping soundly on the couch, for fear that Meng Zhe would do something again.But Meng Zhe found that word from the book case——

Forever and forever, this hatred is endless.

There was an inexplicable pain in my heart.

No, he only has Han Yi in his heart, why does it still hurt?

Yan Qi slowly woke up from the dream, looking at the man sitting beside him pouring himself a drink, his eyes were no longer in the slightest daze.Sensing that Yan Qi had woken up, Meng Zhe looked over, and the two looked at each other in silence.

Meng Zhe turned his face away and said in a low voice, "I asked Han Yi, and he said you didn't...do anything to him. Why did you lie to me?"

Yan Qi didn't answer, sat up and waved to Xiao Qi who was waiting at the door, Xiao Qi ran forward obediently.

Yan Qi gestured, "Kneel down to Mr. Meng."

Although Xiao Qi was surprised, she still knelt at Meng Zhe's feet.

Meng Zhe frowned and looked at Yan Qi.Yan Qi gestured to Xiao Qi again: "Help me tell Mr. Meng, I will sleep with him in the future, no money is needed, as long as Xiao Qi goes to his shop as an apprentice."

Xiaoqi's eyes turned red, she bit her lips tightly, and refused to speak.

Meng Zhe looked at their chattering master and servant, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Yan Qi frowned slightly, staring at Xiao Qi: "Say it quickly, or I will drive you away."

Xiao Qi jumped up and hugged Yan Qi's leg, choked up and said, "Brother Yan, don't drive me away."

Yan Qi coughed twice, put his hands on his throat, and said slowly and with difficulty: "I... accompany... you—"

Xiaoqi screamed, "I said, I said!" He knelt down at Meng Zhe's feet again, weeping and said, "Brother Yan said, from now on he will sleep with Mr. Meng, he doesn't want money, but me, Xiaoqi. Go to Mr. Meng's shop as an apprentice." He said, kowtowed to Meng Zhe and said, "Xiao Qi is stupid, please take me in, Mr. Meng."

Meng Zhe listened, his face gradually paled.

Yan Qi looked at Xiao Qi with relief, slightly relieved.

Xiao Qi didn't look up when he couldn't hear Meng Zhe's answer.Yan Qi looked at Meng Zhe, and said with difficulty, "You...have...why...ask...I...do it all, please...accept...keep...he...."

Xiao Qi didn't dare to raise her head, her lips were bleeding, and she couldn't cry.

"...Okay." Meng Zhe finally uttered a word.

Xiao Qi hurriedly kowtowed again, "Thank you, Mr. Meng, thank you, Mr. Meng!"

Yan Qi waited for Xiao Qi to kowtow, and gestured to Xiao Qi: "Go and prepare some food and wine."

Xiao Qi ran out quickly.Yan Qi looked at Meng Zhe with a smile, and said slowly, "Thank you very much."

Meng Zhe looked at him with frowned.Yan Qi turned his face away, walked to the bed, walked to the side of the bed, and made the bed with his own hands.After making the bed, I went to the desk to sort out Xiaoqi's calligraphy and paintings for literacy, and I just finished tidying up.Xiao Qi brought in the food, Yan Qi took the food, and gestured to Xiao Qi: "Take your calligraphy and painting, go to the kitchen to eat, and go back to the wing room to write after eating."

Xiao Qi hesitated: "But I still have to serve—"

Yan Qi gestured, "I'm here."

"But Brother Yan never—"

Yan Qi smiled and gestured: "I can also serve people. I have something to ask of him, so I should serve him. Go quickly."

Xiaoqi stood with her head buried for a while, walked to the desk, picked up the calligraphy and painting, walked back to Meng Zhe, saluted politely, and whispered: "My brother said that he is here to serve, so let me step down first."

After Meng Zhe agreed, Xiao Qi left the room and closed the door.

Only Meng Zhe and Yan Qi were left in the room, and it was suddenly eerily quiet.Yan Qi lowered his eyes, put the simple meals on the tray on the table, and then glanced at Meng Zhe.Meng Zhe has been watching him from the beginning to the end.

Yan Qi walked to the desk and took out a small stack of paper cut into the size of a palm, with various words and sentences written on it.Yan Qi handed the first piece of paper to Meng Zhe, on which it was written: "I don't know how to serve people, I don't know how to go around, please forgive me, Mr. Meng."

After Meng Zhe finished reading it, Yan Qi handed over the second one: "If you have something to do, please just tell Mr. Meng."

The third had three words: "Eat, Sleep, and Bath."

Yan Qi took out the fourth card, on which was written: "Please ask for instructions."

Meng Zhe looked at Yan Qi without hesitation.Yan Qi lowered his eyes and smiled, quietly waiting for Meng Che's order.

Meng Zhe didn't know why, but his heart ached like he was about to bleed.With trembling fingers, he pointed to "dinner".

Yan Qi waited for the reply, then went back to the table and waited. After waiting for a while, seeing that Meng Zhe did not come, he went back to the couch, picked up the piece of paper that had just been placed on the kang table, and took out the words "eating, sleeping, bathing". ", looked at Meng Zhe questioningly.

Meng Zhe didn't answer.

Yan Qi was silent for a moment, then bent over suddenly, knelt between Meng Zhe's legs, and raised his hand to untie Meng Zhe's clothes. : "What the hell is going on? How did it suddenly become like this?!"

Yan Qi lowered his eyes, and said with difficulty: "No... I want... money, I want... you... take... keep... Xiaoqi."

Meng Zhe grabbed Yan Qi's chin, forced Yan Qi to look at him, and said sadly, "You know that's not what I'm talking about!"

Yan Qi said with difficulty: "You...buy...I...I...should...should...."

Meng Zhe's eyes were hot.

He doesn't know why.

What Yan Qi said is right, Yan Qi was bought by him with money, he can do whatever he wants, there is no need to promise to take Xiaoqi in, no need to explain if he misunderstood, and no need to feel guilty if he used it too forcefully. He was a better host than anyone else.

But he didn't know why, his heart was bleeding, and his eyes were full of tears.

Very desperate.Could not be more desperate.

When he knew that the person he liked was his younger brother, he had never been so desperate.

He bowed his head and kissed the corner of Yan Qi's lips that was smiling indifferently.Yan Qi didn't dodge or dodge, came up to him gently, nestled in his arms obediently, let him touch and knead.But when Yan Qi was like this, he was full of anger, he was so angry that he was going crazy.He doesn't want to do this, he doesn't like this, and he doesn't want to talk like this.

But Yan Qi became like this.

No matter what unreasonable demands he has, Yan Qi will satisfy them; no matter how he loses his temper, Yan Qi will always smile; no matter what he does, Yan Qi doesn't care anymore.

He finally understood his identity - he was just someone who bought Yan Qi with money.

After finishing, Yan Qi wanted to get out of bed and leave, but Meng Zhe stretched out his hand to hold her, and Yan Qi lay down again, nestling quietly in Meng Zhe's arms.

The tent was eerily quiet.

Meng Zhe raised his hand to cover his eyes, and for some reason, tears began to fall.

It was twilight.The book boy whispered outside the door, "My lord, it's getting late, go home."

Meng Zhe sat up.Yan Qi also opened his eyes. He put on his clothes casually, got out of bed after him, and lowered his eyes to help Meng Che put on his clothes.Meng Che held him in his arms, bowed his head and kissed him, and he accepted it with a smile.After kissing, continue to help Meng Zhe arrange his clothes and hair bun.

Xiaoqi works as an apprentice in Meng Zhe's Chengnan branch in the morning, and goes to a private school in the afternoon. When he comes back every day, he still has to read and write, and do as much laundry and cooking as possible--although Yan Qi is still learning, it is After living for four lifetimes, I have never learned it.

Meng Zhe wanted to invite another person, but Yan Qi declined, "Don't waste your money."

Meng Zhe choked, but thinking of his relationship with Yan Qi, he didn't insist on asking.

In a blink of an eye, the pear blossoms in the yard are blooming, and the pear blossoms are white and clear.

Yan Qi tidied up the house, and tidied up the yard briefly, took out the recliner and put it under the pear tree.There is a small table beside the reclining chair. On the table are exquisite white jade pots and white jade cups. Under the sunshine in the afternoon, they shine with a clear and delicate luster.

Yan Qi was dressed in white, sitting on a recliner, staring at the blue sky above his head in a daze for a while, remembering that Xiao Qi said recently that he was praised by his husband in the private school, and praised by the shopkeeper in the shop. Relieved.Thinking of Meng Zhe again——

Yan Qi was silent, he decided not to think about this person anymore.

Life after life, I don't think about it anymore.

He picked up the jug sideways, slowly poured out a cup of light blue liqueur, played with the white jade cup between his fingers for a while, held it up to the tip of his nose and smelled it, the fragrance was sweet, it was really a rare good wine.

Since he left Daming Palace, he has never used such an exquisite jade lamp;

Since he left Haoyue City, he has never drank such pure wine;

The world is changing, he always wants to keep those things that can't be kept, it's his extravagance, it's what he can't do.

Now that the fate is over, he shouldn't cling to Ye Fan anymore, shouldn't appear in front of him, and shouldn't bother him anymore.

The two of them should not have lost even the last trace of good memories.

Li Xuan thought, everything was his fault.

Ye Fan, we will never see each other again.

He raised his head, drank the fine wine in the glass, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips.

He lay down slowly, looked at the white pear tree above his head, and seemed to think of many, many beautiful things... When they first met, Ye Fan stood outside the palace with sweat profusely, waiting for him patiently. He really didn't take it to heart... But these things gradually faded away, his vision gradually blurred, and he couldn't see clearly. In the end, only the sound of the breeze passing through the petals was left, gently echoing in his ears.

He closed his eyes peacefully, and the white jade cup he held between his fingers suddenly fell to the stone floor with a crisp sound.

Xiaoqi got out of school early today, and couldn't wait to run back to do housework for Yan Qi, and ran into the backyard, feeling that today was especially quiet, so she guessed that Yan Qi probably fell asleep alone again.Seeing Yan Qi sleeping under the pear tree, he walked lightly, went into the room, took the thin quilt out, and covered Yan Qi.

After covering the quilt, Xiao Qi hurried to the kitchen and saw that the vegetables for the evening had been prepared.He ran to the well again and found that all the clothes had been washed and neatly hung on the drying rack.

Xiao Qi suddenly had nothing to do, so he took the book, moved a stool and sat beside Yan Qi to read the book. After turning two pages, he found that the wine cup fell on the ground, so he hurriedly picked it up, and accidentally touched Yan Qi's cup hanging outside the reclining chair. finger--

so cold.I always sleep without a quilt, so it is always so cold.Always want to take care of others when you can't even take care of yourself.Fool.

Xiao Qi thought with a bit of complaint, and continued to read.

The sky is getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the pear trees, which is warm and beautiful.Xiao Qi rubbed her sore eyes, closed the book, and thought, Brother Yan slept for a long time today.

Xiao Qi didn't wake Yan Qi up, and went to the kitchen to cook by herself.

Meng Zhe walked slowly into the yard, saw the lights were on in the room, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen, and the pear trees in the yard were covered in white, so he walked over to have a look.After looking at it, he found that Yan Qi was sleeping under the tree. He felt a little helpless, he could really sleep anytime and anywhere, it was getting dark, even though he was covered with a quilt, it was still spring after all, isn't it cold?

He leaned over to hug Yan Qi, his body was really cold, he picked him up, Yan Qi's hands were unconsciously hanging aside, and his face was unconsciously buried in his arms.

Only when you are asleep can you be so quiet and worry-free.

Meng Zhe thought.

He put the person on the bed, looked at the quiet face of the person on the bed, couldn't help but leaned over and kissed the person's brow, which was also cold.

Meng Zhe suddenly froze.
