【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

After New Year's Eve, the next day is New Year's Day. Because of the New Year's Eve last night, Yuan Zhongxin slept until the sun was three poles and still did not wake up.

And Wang Kuan had already gone out for a trip, and when he came back, he was carrying two jars of small wine in his hand. Judging by the red seal paper on the bottle mouth, it should be good wine that had been dusty for a long time. He put the wine on the table gently, silently He quietly came to the bedside, gazed for a moment, reached out and patted Yuan Zhongxin's leg, and called out gently: "Zhongxin, wake up, Yuan Zhongxin."

Yuan Zhongxin replied in a daze, turned over, and wanted to continue to sleep, but suddenly smelled a scent of wine at the tip of his nose, he immediately sat up from the bed, but his eyes were still closed.

Wang Kuan pursed his lips and chuckled, and continued, "Yuan Zhongxin, if you don't wake up again, I'll give the glutinous rice made with wine to the old thief."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhongxin opened his eyes subconsciously, and Wang Kuan with a smile on his face came into his eyes. He was taken aback for a moment, then raised his nose and sniffed carefully, and found that there was a faint fragrance of wine in the air, and the whole body Immediately he was refreshed, and he looked at Wang Kuan in surprise: "Did you bring me wine and glutinous rice?"

Wang Kuan nodded, pointing to the two small jars of wine behind him: "I just found you a New Year's gift."

Yuan Zhongxin likes to eat wine glutinous rice, because its aroma is mellow and warm, and the glutinous rice is soft and sweet. However, the weather in Kaifeng is not suitable for making wine glutinous rice, so there are very few wine glutinous rice that can enter Yuan Zhongxin's eyes. On weekdays, he rarely eats authentic wine glutinous rice.

Wang Kuan knew his taste, and he ordered these two small jars of wine and glutinous rice from the Nanling area a few days ago. He wrote to remind him several times, and finally delivered them on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Yuan Zhongxin immediately jumped up from the bed, came to the table excitedly, opened the seal and was about to drink, but was stopped by Wang Kuan, who looked at the former dissatisfied, and said sullenly: "Why, you Want to repent?"

Wang Kuan smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to reseal the bottle, and explained patiently: "You have to drink early in the morning, if you get drunk in the morning, your usual work and rest schedule must be reversed, besides, don't you plan to drink wine today? Do you want a red envelope from Zhangyuan Lu and the others?"

After Wang Kuan said this, Yuan Zhongxin remembered that today is a good time to ask for a red envelope, and he must not miss it. Thinking of this, he looked at the wine jar in his hand with a little regret, and said bluntly : "Okay, I can only drink it tonight."

Speaking of tonight, Yuan Zhongxin suddenly remembered that Wang Kuan had to go home, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Wang Kuan stared deeply at Yuan Zhongxin, seeing his expression of regret and joy for a while, how could he not know what he was thinking in his heart, Wang Kuan's eyes darkened slightly, but he said calmly: " I'm going home tonight, I can't look at you for the time being, you can eat wine and glutinous rice, don't overdo it."

Yuan Zhongxin patted him on the shoulder, and assured him with a look of "I will be obedient", "I know, you can have a good meal with your family tonight, and you don't have to worry about Qizhai, I will take care of it." It's on."

Wang Kuan tilted his head and looked at him with a half-smile: "Yuan Zhongxin, I have delivered your New Year's gift, what about mine?"

Yuan Zhongxin froze instantly, and shouted in disbelief: "You still want to return the gift?!"

Wang Kuan shrugged, noncommittal.

Yuan Zhongxin gritted his teeth secretly, glanced at him gloomyly, and muttered sullenly: "You are a noble son of a family, with money and power in your family, what else do you need? After the next year, you will search for people's fat and people's cream."

Wang Kuan, on the other hand, was calm and calm. He stared intently at Yuan Zhongxin with a meaningful expression. He said meaningfully, "My family is indeed rich and powerful, but I still lack one thing."

Yuan Zhongxin answered the words instinctively and asked, "What?"

As soon as the words fell, the room was completely silent.

Yuan Zhongxin's expression remained the same, but he scolded himself many times in his heart.

You talk too much!Ask for trouble!Dig yourself a hole!idiot!

Wang Kuan smiled and said nothing, and looked at Yuan Zhongxin who was a little aggrieved, as if he had heard the lively voice in Yuan Zhongxin's heart.He pursed his lips, managed to hold back his smile, and then asked: "Then if you know what my family lacks, will you agree to give me such things?"

Yuan Zhongxin's brows twitched faintly, he frowned and thought hard, and answered "yes", as if he was digging a hole for himself to jump in, and answered "no", which seemed to be too stingy. After weighing it hard, he said with a smile: "Wang Kuan, why don't I share the glutinous rice with you?"

Wang Kuan had expected that he would react like this, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I don't want the wine glutinous rice, just promise me one condition."

Yuan Zhongxin immediately looked at him vigilantly, and asked after a while: "What conditions?"

Wang Kuan: "I can't say it yet, but it's definitely not something you can't do."

Yuan Zhongxin thought about it carefully, and concluded that Wang Kuan would never lie to him, so he nodded hesitantly: "Okay, I promise."

After asking Lu Guannian and the others to discuss the red envelopes, Wang Kuan left the secret pavilion before night fell.

Yuan Zhongxin was only thinking about the wine glutinous rice in the house, even though Wang Kuan told him to eat well, Yuan Zhongxin still took a few mouthfuls to deal with it, then hurried back to his room and carried the wine glutinous rice to the backyard.

At this time, Yuan Zhongxin was the only one in the huge Qizhai.

Lu Guannian and the others had to go home first, while the old thief and the group of rogues went somewhere. Zhao Jian and the others heard that there was a performance by an entertainment troupe in Wazi in the east of the city, and went out happily after dinner. The four of them originally persuaded him to go with them, but Yuan Zhongxin's thoughts were all on wine and glutinous rice, and he didn't share his energy with the entertainment troupe.

Yuan Zhongxin unwrapped all the paper seals. For a while, the smell of wine was cold, which whetted his appetite. When he sniffed it carefully, the aroma of the wine was strong and tangy. ?” The aroma of the wine was more mellow than the ones he had tasted on weekdays.

Wang Kuan was not around, and no one could control Yuan Zhongxin. He raised his head and took a big sip, chewed slowly, and the alcohol entered his stomach. After a while, the warmth came out from the internal organs continuously, Yuan Zhong Xin shuddered, his cheeks flushed faintly.

For an hour, the two wine jars were empty.

Yuan Zhongxin lay powerlessly on the stone table, his face was bright red, his eyes were blurred and empty, he stared at a certain place, he didn't know what he was looking at, his whole person looked dull and lifeless.

He slandered in his heart: This drink has really strong aftertaste.

Yuan Zhongxin only felt that his head was dizzy, his thoughts were in a mess, his whole soul seemed to be out of his body, his mind seemed to be empty, but in fact, countless consciousnesses drifted by quickly, and he reached out to grab it, but he caught it. The scene in front of him was distortedly reflected in the bottom of his eyes, making it hard to tell the truth from reality.

All of a sudden, it was snowing, the snow was not heavy, and there were sporadic stars, like falling stars, with dots of white falling on Yuan Zhongxin's hair, body, and his chaotic mind.

Little snow flew like catkins, confusing Yuan Zhongxin's eyes.

In a trance, a slender figure appeared at the bottom of his eyes, that figure was not far from him, and Yuan Zhongxin couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream, but the figure of that person was like a pine and cypress Standing tall and handsome in the snow.

Like someone Yuan Zhongxin is familiar with.

Yuan Zhongxin blinked blankly, the man slowly lifted his feet, came to him, squatted down, and watched him silently, Yuan Zhongxin's eyes were covered with alcohol, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but However, he is sensitively aware of the extremely hot eyes of the other party, joy, pity, admiration, paranoia, and many other emotions that he does not know, all intertwined together, wrapping Yuan Zhongxin like a spider web , tightened bit by bit, not even leaving him the slightest chance to breathe.

Yuan Zhongxin frowned, and shrank back. He didn't like this feeling. He even wanted to escape from this feeling. It was best to run far away, and he would never be able to catch up with him for the rest of his life.

The man stretched out his hand to feel the temperature between Yuan Zhongxin's forehead, it was still warm, he sighed helplessly, and murmured: "If it wasn't for your kindness, I wouldn't have found such strong wine glutinous rice for you, I clearly told you not to drink too fast, but you didn't listen, and the hangover you get up tomorrow will make you uncomfortable again."

Yuan Zhongxin looked dazed, he couldn't even hear other people's words clearly when he was drunk.

The man raised his head slightly, his eyes looked as if autumn waters were bottomless, and he said softly: "Zhongxin, Yuan Zhongxin, can you hear me?"

Yuan Zhongxin looked at him in a daze, and nodded after a long while.

The man continued: "Yuan Zhongxin, do me a favor, okay?"

"Tell me, when you and Wang Kuan fell to the bottom of the cliff that day, did he tell you something when he was unconscious?"

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes wandered aimlessly, his brows were tightly frowned, his face was distressed and dull, as if he was really remembering something.

"Tell me, will you?"

Yuan Zhongxin struggled in his eyes, and spoke intermittently: "Wang Kuan, what did you say...?"

The man coaxed him patiently: "Yes, help Wang Kuan think about it, what did he say? He has been thinking about it for more than half a month, but he still can't find the answer. Can you help him?" ?”

"If he can't remember anymore, he might go crazy."

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes lit up slightly, and he murmured, "Crazy?"

The man smiled wryly, and said with difficulty: "Yes, he misses you almost like crazy."

Yuan Zhongxin frowned, extremely distressed, struggling constantly in his heart, he didn't want to think about it, but out of instinct, he didn't want that person named "Wang Kuan" to go crazy because of him.

Thinking back to the day when I fell off the cliff:

"Wang Kuan, what did you say?"

"Yuan Zhongxin, don't be afraid."

"Yuan Zhongxin, I actually have you in my heart."

"Yuan Zhongxin, I don't want my life, I just want you."

Yuan Zhongxin stumbled and repeated Wang Kuan's words again. In an instant, the man's expression was like five thunderbolts, and he was stunned.

After a long time, the man hugged Yuan Zhongxin into his arms easily, and rubbed his lips against Yuan Zhongxin's ears. He lowered his eyes slightly and asked hoarsely, "Then what's your reaction?"

Yuan Zhongxin was puzzled, but responded in a low voice: "Huh?"

The man holding Yuan Zhongxin's hand kept exerting force, his fingertips trembled, and he couldn't restrain it: "After that, what did you do?"

Yuan Zhongxin was sleeping softly in that man's arms, and the warmth made him rub against him subconsciously. His eyelids drooped heavily, but he replied instinctively: "I added some firewood to the fire."

The man was in a trance.

It turned out that Wang Kuan only felt cold but not warm at that time, because the fire that Yuan Zhongxin added had been tossed and turned for a long time, and it has only burned into his heart today.
