When Li Yuanxiu left, Qu Jiyuan's enthusiasm during the day disappeared, and he returned to his usual indifferent appearance.

"Father, it's getting late, you should go back early to rest, and your son will be back too."

"Ah, well, let's go."

Qu Jiyuan left without looking back, leaving Master Qu alone in shock, feeling that he was thinking too much, and at the same time feeling that his son's enthusiasm for Li Yuanxiu was too much.

He has never told Mrs. Qu about the rumors outside. Mrs. Qu has always doted on Qu Jiyuan and even protected her shortcomings. If she wanted to let her know that someone made rumors about her son, she would go up and fight with others. Master Qu never said that. At that time, I didn't know whether it was good or bad to hide it.

Qu Jiyuan washed up and was staring at the painting of red plums drawn by Li Yuanxiu in the room, and when he was admiring it happily, the system that had disappeared for a long time suddenly reappeared.

"Host, your mission is to help the mission target."

"When do you need to remind me?"

"The host hasn't helped him with anything since donating food."

"I'm not helping him live happily every day. Hasn't his happiness increased at all?"

In fact, there was an increase. The system was silent in its heart, but it didn't answer the question: "Isn't the host using public affairs for personal gain?"

Qu Jiyuan said: "What is public and private? Could it be that you still can't do it? Besides, if you are so useless and can't find anything, why should I be so passive? You still have the face to question me now?

Even if I have selfish motives during the task, your mission here does not allow the host to be selfish about the mission target?Besides, if a person lives happily every day, isn't it happiness? "

"Without a host, the mission target will have a very happy life."

"That's different. He will definitely feel happier when there is someone around who cares about him. He looks kind and friendly on the surface, but he is very exclusive in his heart."

"Please don't make excuses, the host, the system knows what you want to do."

"So what? Are you going to stop me?" Qu Jiyuan became gloomy.

"What if the mission target doesn't like you?"

... Qu Jiyuan was silent for a while, looked at the red plum, and said softly and slowly: "If he really doesn't mean that to me, I'll find him something he likes and make him happy. Is it the mission requirement?"

The system quieted down, and Qu Jiyuan didn't speak any more. He never thought that his feelings for Li Yuanxiu would be so strong, but now that it's been confirmed, who cares what will happen in the future?Just leave no regrets.

With the pretense of scientific examinations and seeking advice, Qu Jiyuan went to the county government more frequently, and Li Xiaozhuang also came to Qu's residence more frequently. Mrs. Qu liked children, and Li Xiaozhuang was well-behaved and sensible, and he was much more popular than Qu Jiyuan when he was a child, so Mrs. Qu welcomed Li Xiaozhuang's visit to Qu's Mansion very much, and naturally had no problem with her son running to the county government office every day. She only thought that the three brothers had a good relationship, and specially cleaned up a small yard for Li Xiaozhuang, specially for him to come to Qu's Mansion Rest your feet.

Li Xiaozhuang lost his mother a long time ago, so the love and care for Mrs. Qu is naturally very precious. After coming and going, Li Xiaozhuang is more like the young master of the Qu family than Qu Jiyuan, everyone is very happy about this, and only Master Qu bears the burden. I had a toothache several times.

Li Xiaozhuang traveled a lot to Qu's Mansion, and often lived in Qu's Mansion. Naturally, he spent less time in the county government. Li Yuanxiu had more things to do as the year approached, so he felt at ease with Qu Jiyuan. Compared with his brother, Li Xiaozhuang was obviously more Needing a mother's love, he naturally didn't stop Li Xiaozhuang, so when Qu Jiyuan came to the county government, Li Yuanxiu was mostly alone.

Occasionally, Li Xiaozhuang would be driven back to his room by him. Li Xiaozhuang is a well-behaved child, he is very motivated, likes reading and painting, Qu Jiyuan prepared everything for him, and by the way lost his servant In the past, Li Xiaozhuang knew that such an opportunity was rare, so he worked harder and sincerely regarded Li Yuanxiu and Qu Jiyuan as his elder brothers.

Li Xiaozhuang pestered Li Yuanxiu every day when he was not in Qu Jiyuan, why pester him?There are so many things, what are the scientific examinations?Exam this ah, then how to answer this?Anyway, there is always something he doesn't understand, the boy often rolls his master's eyes behind his back, he has been a goblin since he was a child, now he is pretending to be an idiot, it's really difficult.

Li Yuanxiu is willing to be pestered by Qu Jiyuan as soon as he is done with his work. Even if the questions are boring, he will answer them with all his heart, playing the role of a good big brother. The two of them get close unconsciously and feel that they have kept enough distance.

Li Yuanxiu was distracted while talking about Qu Jiyuan. He looked at Li Yuanxiu but couldn't hear what he said. He only saw his frowns and smiles, only his smiling eyes, and his lips. Getting closer and closer, Li Yuanxiu felt his approach, turned his head, and rubbed the tip of Qu Jiyuan's nose to meet his eyes.

Qu Jiyuan came back to his senses in an instant, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, he retreated a little, and continued to ask the next question without blushing.

Li Yuanxiu wanted to reach out and cover his chest, but he didn't move. He concentrated on listening to Qu Jiyuan's new question. He felt that there must be a ghost in his heart, so he was thinking wildly. Qu Jiyuan was clearly listening to himself. .

On this day, Qu Jiyuan excitedly took a scroll into the county government office. Li Yuanxiu was already waiting for him in the study. He bought a pot of tea and put it in the study, then retreated sensiblely and closed the door behind him.

Li Yuanxiu was a little speechless at the boy's skillful operation, but Qu Jiyuan pretended that he couldn't see it, and handed the scroll to Li Yuanxiu.

On the scroll is a picture of calligraphy, which is not an antique by a famous artist, but it is also a rare and good calligraphy. Li Yuanxiu praised it repeatedly.

"I want to learn it too, but I'm afraid I'll ruin a good calligraphy if I'm clumsy. How about brother Li copying one for me?"

In the past, Qu Jiyuan felt that Li Yuanxiu, a person from the capital who passed the scientific examination but was assigned to be a county magistrate, would not do well if he wanted to take the examination.

After getting in touch with him for a long time, he realized that Li Yuanxiu is really good at everything. Although he plays chess slowly, if you don't give way to him, he has almost no chance of winning, let alone books. I know the same thing, the natural painting is also extraordinary, the red plum Qu Jiyuan has to look at it for a long time every day, it really gets better and better the more I look at it.

But Li Yuanxiu's handwriting is the best. Qu Jiyuan originally thought that his handwriting was very good. For example, Wu Juren and others, he didn't bother to compare with them. But after he saw Li Yuanxiu's handwriting, he felt that he wrote What kind of thing is it, it's simply out of sight.

In short, Li Yuanxiu is good in everything, and everything is good. Li Yuanxiu will come to the county from the capital. It is absolutely unspeakable. After getting the information, Qu Jiyuan is more sure, so he made up his mind early in the morning. In the future, he must follow Li Yuanxiu Going to the capital, Qu Jiyuan felt that this was their fate, destined by heaven.

Li Yuanxiu also liked this calligraphy very much. Hearing what Qu Jiyuan said, he naturally would not refuse, so he immediately took a pen and spread the paper, while Qu Jiyuan grinded the ink for him.

Li Yuanxiu was very devoted when he was doing things. At this moment, he had a slight smile on his face, as if the words had blossomed one by one. He was explaining various brushwork while writing, and even Qu Jiyuan who was on the side was ignored. Qu Jiyuan originally glanced at the words and Li Yuanxiu, and when he looked at them, he became jealous of those words, because Li Yuanxiu was too focused, and Qu Jiyuan usually stared at him. Although he didn't express it, Qu Jiyuan knew that he had been It was a bit unnatural, but now there is no such reaction at all.

Qu Jiyuan took a slight step back, and continued to stare at Li Yuanxiu. Li Yuanxiu still didn't respond, and he moved his pen like flying. Qu Jiyuan became more and more fascinated as he watched Li Yuanxiu. He heard Li Yuanxiu's clear voice teaching while writing, and Qu Jiyuan felt a little controlled. Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand and hugged Li Yuanxiu, Li Yuanxiu froze, his whole body tensed up, his voice was a little shivering, and he said tremblingly for a while: "Jiyuan?"

"Huh?" Qu Jiyuan put his face on Li Yuanxiu's back, actually he didn't feel anything in winter, but he felt warm and fluffy.

Li Yuanxiu wanted to break free from him and turned around, just as his hands touched Qu Jiyuan's, he felt the arms holding him tighten. Qu Jiyuan felt his movements, fearing that he would run away, so he hugged him even harder.

Li Yuanxiu "..."

"Brother, let me hug you for a while, just for a while." Qu Jiyuan's voice was a little heavy, and Li Yuanxiu couldn't see his expression, so he didn't move anymore.

After a while, Qu Jiyuan's hand relaxed a bit, but he didn't let go completely, and said in a muffled voice behind Li Yuanxiu: "Brother Li also knows that I grew up alone, and I don't have any brothers or sisters. Apart from the elders in my family, I have no peers. Most of my friends, even those who can talk to me, are here to please, in fact, sometimes I envy Xiao Zhuang."

When he said this, Li Yuanxiu didn't know how to get away, it was just a moment of confusion in his mind, Qu Jiyuan was still a child, and he was just as close to him as a brother, but he thought about things he shouldn't think about these days. Masculinity is prevalent, he knew it before but never had that kind of thought, and somehow he has inexplicably taken a liking to this boy from the first time he met Qu Jiyuan, obviously at the beginning, the boy still looked at him everywhere It's pleasing to the eye, but now it's so sticky to my side.

Li Yuanxiu sighed silently in his heart, turned a corner in his thoughts and forcibly turned back.

Seeing that Li Yuanxiu has been silent, Qu Jiyuan let go of his hand in a shy manner, but did not raise his head. Li Yuanxiu glanced at him and didn't know what to say. I was ashamed to show my childish side, so I said, "I'll go to the county magistrate to discuss something."

After speaking, he left the study room without waiting for a response. His steps were a bit heavy and his walking was not very stable. Fortunately, the many robes he wore in winter also blocked his steps.

Qu Jiyuan raised his head behind Li Yuanxiu, staring at Li Yuanxiu's figure, there seemed to be two clusters of fire in his eyes, burning from the bottom of his heart, until his whole body was burning hot, his hands were tightly held together , kept staring at Li Yuanxiu until the shadow was gone, still unable to look back.

No one knew what was going on in his mind. When the boy came in from the outside, he looked at Qu Jiyuan's face a little scary, and called out cautiously, asking him if there was anything wrong. Qu Jiyuan came back to his senses, his voice Hoarsely replied that it's all right, he felt dry mouth after speaking, he licked his lips and said, "Change the pot of hot tea."

Li Yuanxiu ran away today, and tomorrow, there will always be a day when he can't run away and doesn't want to run away.
