When Qu Jiyuan returned home, Mr. Qu and his wife stayed in the hall waiting for him. Mrs. Qu looked him up and down a few times, and she was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong. She sat aside and waited for Mr. Qu to ask questions.

"Where did you go last night?"

"County office."

"What do you want to stay in the county government for a day and a night?"

Qu Jiyuan glanced over and gave the boy a wink. The boy quickly went out and closed the door. When there was no sound from around, Qu Jiyuan knelt down in the middle of the hall: "My son is not filial. I made a private appointment with Magistrate Li last night. For the rest of my life, I hope my parents will be happy."

"You really..." Master Qu couldn't continue asking, Mrs. Qu was shocked and stayed aside wiping tears.

"The son dare not lie to his parents. The son and the county magistrate Li are in love with each other. In the past two years, the son has been traveling abroad, and his affection for him has grown deeper. If the son cannot be with him in this life, he will only be alone. "

Master Qu and his wife didn't speak, and Qu Jiyuan looked at Master Qu: "Father, you are the most clear about my son's habits since he was a child. If he can make peace with others, his son doesn't want to go on this road. Now except for Li Yuanxiu, we I don’t have that thought about anyone, my son in this life is none other than him.”

Master Qu knew that his son had come to this point, and it was impossible to turn back. Originally, Qu Jiyuan had been away from home for two years, and they still felt that there was hope for a change. Unexpectedly, the two-year separation would only get worse. Stop thinking about it, even if you think about it, you know it's impossible.

"You...you and Master Li, you..."

"Father, we will handle our affairs by ourselves. He is an official, and our current relationship is not suitable for speaking out. However, even so, my son is confident that he will stay with him for the rest of his life."

"I mean, who of you...cough, who is the husband?"

Qu Jiyuan looked up at his father, and saw that the old man was embarrassed, and then looked at Mrs. Qu, who also had a curious and embarrassed expression on his face. Qu Jiyuan wanted to laugh, but he didn't answer directly: "Dad, mother, Just leave this matter alone, but he won't bully me."

Master Qu saw that he really didn’t want to say anything and didn’t ask anymore. Qu Jiyuan returned to his own room after sending his parents back to the room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the picture of red plums again. Thinking about it, when he saw this red plum again, his thoughts surged even more, and Qu Jiyuan's eyes deepened.

Li Yuanxiu was a little dizzy, and felt that this and the day and night were really unimaginable, and he recalled everything soberly after everyone had left, but when he thought about it, he felt burned, although there was no joy in his heart After mixing with water, I felt weak all over again, and finally hid in the bed to prepare for an early rest.

Li Yuanxiu slept in a daze, always felt that someone was approaching him, and finally hugged himself tightly in his arms, he woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and saw who else was it not Qu Jiyuan?

"You, why are you back again?"

Qu Jiyuan smiled and kissed him on the forehead: "How can I sleep without holding you?"

Li Yuanxiu only felt black lines all over his head: "You haven't seen me for two years, aren't you living well?"

"How can it be the same? In the past, you were the moon on that day. I could only see and think, but now..." Qu Jiyuan said as he kissed Li Yuanxiu, and he stopped until both of them were out of breath, and continued: "Now that you have been torn apart by me, even a split second is unbearable, doesn't Yuanxiu miss me?"

"I don't want to." Li Yuanxiu ignored him and turned around to close his eyes.

Qu Jiyuan posted it up and kissed him on the side of his cheek: "The county magistrate is really cruel."

Seeing that Li Yuanxiu ignored him, Qu Jiyuan turned around and blew out the candle: "You don't miss me, I miss you, anyway, don't try to drive me away."

After hearing what he said, Li Yuanxiu was hugged tightly by him. Although he didn't speak again, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised.

Every day that followed, Qu Jiyuan would go to the county government office to report at night, and Zhou Li Yuanxiu got up early in the morning and left.

During the Lantern Festival, the two of them took Li Xiaozhuang together to visit the county town, visited lanterns, and guessed lantern riddles. Li Xiaozhuang is now Qu Jiyuan's brother-in-law, and he returned to the county after two years. The rumors about him and Li Yuanxiu are not popular. Pass it on indiscriminately.

The three brothers celebrated the Lantern Festival happily. In the evening, Qu Jiyuan led Li Yuanxiu into the Qu Mansion, and personally made a big pot of Lantern Festival. The family reunited and ate it. Li Yuanxiu was afraid at first that it would be embarrassing , As a result, Master Qu and Mrs. Qu still had the same attitude towards him as before, which made him relax a lot, and naturally got closer to the second young master of the Qu family.

Qu Jiyuan personally sent Li Yuanxiu back to the county government office at night, and then the young servant led the people back to Qu's mansion in a carriage, and Qu Jiyuan naturally stayed in the county government office.

After washing up, Li Yuanxiu sat on the bed and read a book, just as if Qu Jiyuan, who had bright eyes on one side and two eyes, did not exist. Qu Jiyuan stared at him for a while, and finally couldn't help but snatched the book from Li Yuanxiu's hand and threw it aside .

"Hey, I still..."

Before Li Yuanxiu could finish his sentence, Qu Jiyuan threw him on the bed. Qu Jiyuan kissed Li Yuanxiu, who was still struggling, and reached down with both hands. He also took a bite.

Qu Jiyuan raised his head and looked at Li Yuanxiu suspiciously. Li Yuanxiu was panting, his face was already hot, but he still kept his sense: "I can't do it today, I have something to do tomorrow."

"What's the matter?" Qu Jiyuan didn't move any more, but he was unwilling to get off Li Yuanxiu's body, and still pressed on Li Yuanxiu's body to dawdle.

"I, tomorrow, I'm going to inspect some Zhuangzi by the big river."

Qu Jiyuan stopped moving and frowned and looked at him: "It's just the Chinese New Year, and you're going to run to the river?"

"Well, it's already past the Lantern Festival, so it's getting late." Li Yuanxiu pushed Qu Jiyuan aside: "I don't worry if I don't go and have a look. Although the defense has been done well in the past two years, we can't take it lightly."

Li Yuanxiu sat up, looked at Qu Jiyuan's unhappy face, then glanced at his body, his face became hot again, and coughed lightly: "How about...how about I help you?"

Qu Jiyuan looked at him, and felt that such a Li Yuanxiu really made people want to be pressed on the bed immediately, but he held back in the end, hugged him and lay down: "Since you have decided to go, let's go to rest early, you are still blind." What are you fussing about? I will go with you tomorrow."

Li Yuanxiu originally wanted to refuse, but finally nodded: "Okay."

The room was quiet for a long time, but both of them knew that the other was not asleep, so Qu Jiyuan asked softly, "Yuanxiu, are you asleep?"

"No."

"In a while, I'm going to the capital."

"……I know."

"There is something that I don't know how to tell you."

"why?"

"Because I can't predict what will happen after you know."

"Huh? Do you really have a family in the capital?"

"What are you talking about?" Qu Jiyuan took the hand he had been holding and took a bite.

"Hiss." Li Yuanxiu breathed out in pain, Qu Jiyuan licked that finger again, he felt Li Yuanxiu tremble before saying: "Let you talk nonsense."

"Then why can't you face me?"

Qu Jiyuan sighed: "I will tell you when I come back tomorrow."

Li Yuanxiu's hands clenched tightly, there was a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it, Qu Jiyuan felt his silence, he hugged him tightly, and stopped talking.

On the second day of the long journey, neither of them mentioned what they said last night. They discussed protection against floods along the way. When they reached the big river, Qu Jiyuan found that many villagers there were digging ditches, stacking sandbags, etc. When the villagers saw Li Yuanxiu, they came forward to greet Li Yuanxiu very enthusiastically. It can be seen that they often see Li Yuanxiu.

Qu Jiyuan has been following Li Yuanxiu all the time, watching him busy, having meals with those villagers, and discussing how to improve the river.

It wasn't until it was dark that Li Yuanxiu got into the carriage exhausted, and the carriage came because of Qu Jiyuan's presence. Qu Jiyuan guessed that Li Yuanxiu usually rode back and forth on horseback. Hugging her in her arms, she buried her head in Li Yuanxiu's neck and did not speak.

If there hadn't been such a catastrophe, Li Yuanxiu would not have suffered so much. What was more terrifying was not the physical pain, but the bloody naked face that he wanted to tear apart with his own hands.

Li Yuanxiu patted Qu Jiyuan's hand, trying to sit up straight, but found that Qu Jiyuan was hugging him tightly, he moved his posture, found a comfortable position, and let Qu Jiyuan hold him still.

I don't know if it's due to psychological reasons, but he feels very tired today, even though he rides horses back and forth in the past, sometimes he is not so tired when he is busy even later, as expected, he will relax if he has someone by his side to rely on.

"Are you tired?"

Li Yuanxiu was lying in Qu Jiyuan's arms, and when he was jolted by the carriage and was about to fall asleep, Qu Jiyuan's voice suddenly came from above his head.

Li Yuanxiu blinked, sat up a little bit straighter, Qu Jiyuan no longer hugged him tightly like before, Li Yuanxiu turned to look at him, saw Qu Jiyuan's face full of distress and worry, caressed his face and said: " In fact, I’m not tired, and I didn’t feel that it was harder than this in the past, probably because I have you by my side, I feel that I have support behind me, and I can’t help but relax.”

Qu Jiyuan grabbed the hand he was caressing, rubbed against his palm, and looked into Li Yuanxiu's eyes: "Let me be your reliance, no matter when and where, as long as you are tired, just go to me In my arms, I will always hold you in my arms, and I will never let you go."

Li Yuanxiu looked at Qu Jiyuan, stunned for a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, kissed the corner of Qu Jiyuan's lips, nodded and said: "Okay."

Li Yuanxiu leaned in Qu Jiyuan's arms, and Qu Jiyuan didn't let him go until the carriage stopped at the gate of the county government office.

Qu Jiyuan followed Li Yuanxiu to the county government office, and suddenly didn't want to mention what he wanted to say.
