snowstorm

In a blink of an eye, it is the beginning of winter again.

"Your Highness! Lord Lu!" Xu Lai panted and trotted into Lu Jue's study wrapped up like a ball. This winter seems to be extremely cold. Although it is not easy to snow in the south, the air-conditioning is damp and heavy when it gets cold , It seems to be immersed in the bones of people.

Lu Jue's study room was exceptionally warm, and a branch of wintersweet bloomed just right in the jade vase on the window sill.

"Hush." ​​Xie Qiao frowned slightly and put her finger between her lips.

When Xu Lai came in, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the small couch. When he saw the person who was resting on his highness's lap with his eyes closed, he immediately covered his mouth and kept silent—Master Lu stayed in the barracks for more than two consecutive days. Yue, I just got home last night, so it's normal to be tired.

Xie Qiao covered Lu Jue's body with the blanket, called Xu Lai over, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Xu Lai carefully suppressed his voice, and said: "Your Highness, all the Zhuangzi in Meihua Mountain have been arranged according to your instructions, and the servants have also temporarily evacuated today. The chariot slaves are also ready, look at you..." When are you leaving...

Xie Qiao smiled, looked down at the sleeping man on his lap, and said, "Just wait until he wakes up."

Seeing Xie Qiao's eyes just now, Xu Lai sighed slightly sourly and sweetly, and said, "Does Your Highness really not need slaves to follow?"

Xie Qiao waved his hand at him and said, "No, I'll go with him." It's just me and him.

"Yes." Xu Lai got the expected answer, saluted again and went down.

There was a warm silence in the study room, and there was a sweet plum fragrance in the air.

Xie Qiao could feel the long and reassuring breathing of the person who was pillowed on his lap.He lowered his head and nodded the man's eyebrows, and then saw the dark blue under the man's eyes again. He sighed slightly, and reached out to touch the man's eyebrows lightly. Lu Jue's eyelashes trembled, but he still didn't wake up. , slept deeply.His white face was completely at ease, as if Xie Qiao's lap was the safest place in the world.

Xie Qiao smiled, and was about to withdraw his hand, but saw that the other party's eyes were still closed, but reached out from under the blanket to grab his hand, and then stuck Xie Qiao's fingers into his own, holding tightly. After you're done, put it on your chest.

Xie Qiao opened his eyes wide: Lu Jue's breathing was long, he didn't wake up at all, he just did it subconsciously in his sleep.

The smile on Xie Qiao's face was even wider, but he felt that his heart was completely soft.

……

It was evening when Lu Jue woke up. When he opened his eyes, he met Xie Qiao's smiling eyes. He was taken aback, and was about to get up when he suddenly felt that his and Xie Qiao's hands were tightly locked together.Xie Qiao looked at him with some mockery in his eyes.

Lu Jue: "..."

He rarely made a clear "cough" and let go of Xie Qiao's hand as if nothing had happened, and got up again. Xie Qiao accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't make fun of him, just said: "Are you hungry?"

Lu Jue nodded, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xie Qiao's hand stretched out to his lips, holding a piece of snack in that hand.

The corners of Lu Jue's mouth twitched: "You... make me very awkward..."

As a result, the snack in Xie Qiao's hand was stuffed into his mouth in the middle of the sentence.

Lu Jue: "..."

"Is it sweet?" Xie Qiao asked with a smile.

With that piece of snack in Lu Jue's mouth, he couldn't speak at all. He looked at Xie Qiao speechlessly.The candlelight reflected the sly smile in Xie Qiao's eyes, Lu Jue saw the smile on Xie Qiao's face, his heart moved, and he saw Xie Qiao leaning over to him.

Lu Jue's pupils shrank, Xie Qiao held his face in his hands, his lips touched the corner of his lips lightly, and rolled the crumbs from the corner of his lips into the tip of his tongue, and they left as soon as he touched it. Lu Jue looked at Xie Qiao approaching With the eyebrows and eyes so close, the heart beats a little faster.

Xie Qiao kissed him, but didn't let go of his hands. Their noses touched their noses, and their warm breaths were intertwined. Lu Jue felt that his breathing was a little messy, and Xie Qiao narrowed his eyes, as if he had just tasted something delicious. The cat's voice was hoarse and low: "It's really sweet."

Lu Jue swallowed the piece of snack and was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly. He stretched out his hand to hold Xie Qiao's back neck, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Do you want something sweeter?"

Before Xie Qiao answered, he saw Lu Jue skillfully pull Xie Qiao's hand off his face and cut it neatly behind his back. He held Xie Qiao's hand with one hand and pinched Xie Qiao's hand with the other. The back of Qiao's neck met Xie Qiao's surprised eyes, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and pressed Xie Qiao's lips hard.

It was a kiss with intertwined lips and teeth.

After the kiss, Xie Qiao stood there blankly, Lu Jue raised his eyebrows and smiled, patted Xie Qiao's face, and asked, "Qiaoer, is it sweet?"

"Ah."

Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment, then supported his forehead and let out a low laugh. He raised his head, looked at Lu Jue and nodded shamelessly, and said, "It's very sweet."

Lu Jue tapped his finger on his head.

……

After eating, Xie Qiao and Lu Jue rode to Meihua Mountain.They had agreed to stay there for two days.

Two days later, Lu Jue will leave Jinling.In the past few months, for some reason, Jizhou has been plagued by bandits, so the emperor sent Lu Jue to lead troops to suppress the bandits.After this farewell, it will be at least a few months before we meet again, so Lu Jue rarely promised Xie Qiao to take a rest before leaving, and accompany him to live in Zhuangzi on Plum Blossom Mountain for two days.

Now is the season when plum blossoms are blooming. On the plum blossom mountain, a mountain of plum blossoms are blooming in Linghan, as if the mountain is full of red jade.

As soon as you approach the foot of the mountain, there is a clear fragrance of plum blossoms.

This night, there is a bright moon hanging high, and the moonlight is clear and scattered on the cold plums, creating a beautiful scenery.

The moonlight leaked under the forest, and the sparseness was like snow.

Lu Jue and Xie Qiao were walking in the plum grove in the mountains, and the plum shadows flitted past them. Lu Jue looked at the scenery and felt very happy. Seeing that Xie Qiao was happy, he was also happy.

"Qiao Er," Lu Jue looked at Xie Qiao and said, "I will go to Jizhou to suppress the bandits in a few days, you are not allowed to follow."

When Lu Jue said this, he planned to be refuted by Xie Qiao, so he prepared other words, but Xie Qiao nodded and said, "I will listen to Brother Huaiyu."

Lu Jue was stunned for a moment, he smiled and looked at Xie Qiao in amazement, and said, "Did I hear you right?"

Xie Qiao looked over pitifully and said, "I dare not listen to brother Huaiyu."

Lu Jue tapped his finger on his head: "You speak like I'm bullying you." After speaking, he said seriously: "You are not allowed to follow secretly, do you understand?"

Xie Qiao nodded, and said again: "Brother Huaiyu is bullying me, isn't he?" He looked up at the moon, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lu Jue, do you know that I won't see you for a few months, and you have to worry about me?" What will it look like if you are worried?"

Looking at Xie Qiao's appearance, Lu Jue felt pain in his heart, and said slowly, "I'll be back in a few months, and we can also communicate." He rubbed Xie Qiao's head: "Qiaoer, how are you?"

A trace of cunning flashed across Xie Qiao's eyes, but he still pretended to be depressed, and nodded reluctantly.Looking at him, Lu Jue couldn't restrain the sadness of being separated from Xie Qiao for some reason.

……

On the mountain.

Xie Qiao's Zhuangzi was on the top of the mountain. As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, Xie Qiao pulled people towards Zhuangzi.

After walking for a while, we arrived. Two red lanterns were hung at the gate of Zhuangzi, as if someone was leading the way.

Xie Qiao pulled Lu Jue forward, pushed it, and the door opened, and a burst of clear fragrance of wintersweet came out like the wind.

Lu Jue was taken aback, Xie Qiao looked at him and smiled, "I sent someone to plant some winter plums." Lu Jue loves winter plums the most.

Xie Qiao led Lu Jue into the yard, then turned around and closed the door.But Lu Jue stood there stunned: I saw that the whole courtyard was full of wintersweet, and it would not be too much to say that it was a plum grove.All the wintersweet flowers in the courtyard are in bloom, and the tender yellow flowers stand quietly under the moonlight like that, and clusters of them bloom into a sea of ​​flowers.

Xie Qiao smiled, and led Lu Jue to the plum forest. After walking for a while, Xie Qiao suddenly hugged Lu Jue tightly.

"Brother Huaiyu," Xie Qiao murmured next to Lu Jue's ear, his warm breath seemed to make Lu Jue's ears turn red: "Brother Huaiyu, we won't see each other for a few months... you You know how sad I am..."

Lu Jue rubbed Xie Qiao who was covering her neck, but couldn't speak.

Xie Qiao's fiery lips covered Lu Jue's ears, Lu Jue's body trembled, and when he turned his head, he met Xie Qiao's dark eyes, which were bottomless and faintly glowing red.Lu Jue's heart moved, and his voice became hoarse: "Qiaoer..."

Xie Qiao kissed Lu Jue's earlobe, and stretched out his hand to untie Lu Jue's cloak. When his hand touched Lu Jue's belt, Lu Jue paused, but he didn't stop it...

"Brother Huaiyu, why is your heart always so soft..." Xie Qiao murmured and pulled off Lu Jue's belt, covering Lu Jue's lips...

……

The plum grove is full of beauty, and the clothes are scattered all over the place.

The corners of Xie Qiao's eyes and brows were full of satisfaction. He bent down and was about to hug someone when he saw Lu Jue wearing a cloak. He leaned his arms on his knees, raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes to look at Xie Qiao: "I'm on the way! Can't go anymore?"

His usual clear voice was rarely hoarse.

Xie Qiao paused for a moment, but still retracted his hands tactfully, Lu Jue got up and asked, "Where can I take a bath?"

Xie Qiaoqing coughed, looked in one direction, and said meaningfully: "There is a hot spring there."

Lu Jue looked at Xie Qiao with a half-smile, tapped Xie Qiao's head with his finger, and said, "Then let's go." After saying that, a smile appeared on his face again: "I'll wash first, you come later."

Xie Qiao: "..."

……

A good night's sleep.

When Xie Qiao woke up, it was already cold beside her.He froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered the night before Lu Jue set off in the previous life, that night was like an illusory dream——Xie Qiao suddenly had a gentle smile on his face: last night, it was so real.

He got up in a good mood, washed up and used some things casually, and then went down the mountain.

Calculated the time, Lu Jue should have just left Jinling, Xie Qiao returned to the mansion, he spread the paper, thought for a moment, then wrote a few lines, and sealed it with an envelope - anyway, Lu Jue said, they can communicate.

He called Xu Lai, and asked Xu Lai to go to the post station to find someone to deliver the letter.

Xu Lai twitched his lips: "Your Highness, Master Lu just left the city...you just met Master Lu last night..."

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Xu Lai obediently went to deliver the letter.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Jue arrived at the big tent of the military camp in Jizhou, Xie Qiao's letter arrived behind him.

Lu Jue: "..."

He shook his head helplessly, opened the letter and picked up the tea at hand, who would have thought that the tea would be spit out as soon as he drank it - it was the first time Lu Jue did such an indecent thing as spouting tea.

I saw Xie Qiao wrote three lines of poems on the letter paper:

"The concubine stays alone in the empty room,

Worry to think about you, dare not forget,

I don't feel tears staining my clothes. "

Lu Jue: "..."
