startled autumn

Although it was a long journey back to Beijing, Han Bi never managed to catch a single moment of alone time.

Shen Zhiqiu was more taciturn than before, and he seldom had eye contact with him, other than that, there were not many abnormalities, so if one really wanted to find a reason for the hindrance, it could only be Xiao Shaoling.

"Junior brother, since you are a member of my Moyi family, you naturally want to ride with us and stay with Mr. Han all day long. Could it be that you want to compete with Han for his job?" Xiao Shaoling said seriously.

Han Banbu, who was mentioned by name, quickly shrank his shoulders and pretended to be a quail, his eyes looked very sad.

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "Of course not." After saying that, he slightly nodded at Han Banbu, "Don't worry, I have no such intention."

Han Bi: "You are a guest, so it is naturally different from half step."

Han Banbu nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, how dare I be like you, and my young master has always been hospitable, and I like entertaining guests the most."

Xiao Shaoling said solemnly: "I am also a guest, Mr. Han welcome?"

"Not welcome." Han Bi smiled.

Xiao Shaoling complained dissatisfied: "Brother, he squeezed me out."

Shen Zhiqiu also glanced at Han Bi in disapproval, then patted Xiao Shaoling on the shoulder, and suggested, "Let's discuss swords."

This hit Xiao Shaoling's heart, and the two happily got into another car, leaving Han Bi alone in the same place, powerless.

The convoy drove slowly, leaving the lonely Qishan behind, because someone still needed to finish the work, Yue Yin also stayed where he was, looking at a car in the distance, his figure gradually became smaller.

Xiao Shaoling and Shen Zhiqiu were in the same car, seeing that he was absent-minded, he smiled lightly and said, "Or else I'll go and invite Han Bi over."

Shen Zhiqiu was in a daze, and was startled when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "No need."

"Junior brother, you just acted differently, I feel very strange." Xiao Shaoling raised a serious face and asked, "Did Han Bi offend you? I'll go vent your anger for you."

Shen Zhiqiu quickly explained: "He treated me very well."

Xiao Shaoling raised his eyebrows.

Shen Zhiqiu thought about it for a while, then weighed his words and said, "It's just that I don't know why, but I feel a little flustered at the thought of being alone with him." After a pause, he frowned suspiciously, "Also, Han Bi said I was guilty, but I have never done anything to deceive him, why do I say that?"

"What else did he tell you?"

Shen Zhiqiu opened his mouth halfway, intending to tell the whole story of his conversation with Han Bi, but finally shook his head.

He remembered that when he called him "Ah Xuan", Han Bi's expression at that moment was unbelievably focused. He was shrouded in a soft net, and couldn't help holding his breath, but he still couldn't think of how to resist.

How should such a feeling be repeated to express one out of ten thousand?

Xiao Shaoling sighed melancholy: "Junior brother, you have a little secret."

Shen Zhiqiu lowered his head.

"Senior brother is very pleased that you have grown up." Xiao Shaoling patted him on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, "If you still can't figure it out, it means that this matter is not that important to you, and you didn't put it heart."

Shen Zhiqiu rarely agreed with this: "I have something in my heart, but I am a little hesitant."

"If you hesitate before you strike the sword, it means that you don't have the confidence to hit with one blow." Xiao Shaoling looked at his ignorant junior and enlightened him as always.

Shen Zhiqiu was thoughtful.

Xiao Shaoling said with a smile: "After you go back, let's retreat for a few days to clear up your thoughts before you can practice swords."

Shen Zhiqiu has always regarded Xiao Shaoling as half a master, so he replied in a low voice: "Yes."

In another carriage, Han Banbu shrank in the corner in front of the car, glanced at the gloomy Han Bi from the corner of his eyes, cleared his throat after a while, and said, "Young Master..."

Han Bi gave him a face-saving look: "Speak."

"The thing is like this. Although I will definitely not intentionally tell the truth, the cause and effect of this incident, at least for now, cannot be hidden from the master." Han Banbu muttered, then sneaked into Han Bi's ear and asked in a low voice. Said, "I know you have always had an idea in your heart, but what should you do this time?"

"What did he know?"

Han Banbu buried his head even lower: "Big, you probably already know."

After a while, he added softly, "Including Shen Zhiqiu's matter."

When Han Bi heard the words, he could not deny it.

In fact, this had already been expected by him. Han Banbu's family were all servants, and they were loyal to his father, and the sun and the moon were shining. What's more, his disappearance was related to the safety of his life. It would be strange if Prime Minister Han didn't ask a few more questions.

"The master also said that he wanted to see Shen Zhiqiu in person and thank him." After Han Banbu said the last sentence, he was already frightened by his young master's face in his heart, so he turned his head and didn't dare to look more.

"Let me think about it." Han Bi pinched his brows, suddenly feeling a little headache.

After returning to Beijing, Han Bi first sent someone to send Shen Zhiqiu and his party back to Mo Yifeng. When parting, Xiao Shaoling finally let his junior brother go, waved his hand and said, "Since we are leaving, of course we have to say goodbye. You can go." .”

Shen Zhiqiu nodded, and looked at Han Bi in the distance, only to see that he was giving instructions to Han Banbu with his head tilted sideways, with a focused and serious expression; but the next moment, Han Bi seemed to sense something, Raising his eyes slightly, he happened to meet that quiet gaze. He was used to watching with cold eyes, but at this moment his eyes seemed to be freshly ground ink, painting the scenery of twilight smoke and cage water, and the tenderness inside A little bit of rippling away, I don't know whose side it will flow to.

He smiled and waved: "Shen Zhiqiu, come here."

Shen Zhiqiu ran over by accident.

"Han Bi." He considered for a moment, but still felt that this title was the most appropriate, "I'm going back."

Han Bi nodded and said, "I see."

Shen Zhiqiu: "Oh."

After only a few words, he was suddenly at a loss for words. Han Bi just smiled leisurely, and didn't seem to want to bring up the topic. The two of them were silent for a while. Shen Zhiqiu bowed his head and said, "I'm leaving."

Looking at his dejected appearance, Han Bi felt happy at first, but then saw his lips turned white, and couldn't help but worry and said: "After you go back, you must detoxify as soon as possible, and you can't delay."

"Brother asked me to retreat for a period of time after I go back to recuperate my body and clear my mind." Shen Zhiqiu answered frankly, hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "What about you?"

Han Bi: "Of course I have many things to do."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't ask much, just nodded and said: "If you need my help with anything, you can come to Moyi to find me at any time."

Han Bi suddenly remembered the tea-tasting appointment between the two, but now there are many inconveniences, and Shen Zhiqiu has a cold poison, so he can only put it on hold for the time being and wait for the future.

So he nodded, and he accepted it, and he did not forget to add: "I hired a famous doctor half a step earlier, I think I will be able to reach the capital in the near future, and then I will invite him to Moyi to treat you. If you see him, you will probably be pleasantly surprised.”

Shen Zhiqiu wondered, "Who could it be?"

This time Han Bi was determined to let him guess, and deliberately changed the subject with a smile: "There is one more thing, my father wants to thank you in person."

Sure enough, Shen Zhiqiu fell for the trap, and asked in surprise, "Meet your father? When?"

"He's busy with business recently, so let's wait a bit later." Han Bi sighed softly, "The time has not come yet, and you are not ready either."

Shen Zhiqiu quickly asked, "What should I prepare?"

Han Bi blinked at him: "What do you think?"

Shen Zhiqiu said dejectedly: "I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know what to give as a decent gift."

"You saved my life, even if you came empty-handed, my father won't blame you."

"Then what do I need to prepare?" Shen Zhiqiu was naturally confused.

Han Bi smiled without saying a word.

"You go back." Han Bi shook his hand, "It's so cold."

Shen Zhiqiu was facing Han Bi's face that was close at hand, bathed in his focused eyes, could only shake his head and said, "...I'm a little hot."

Han Bi frowned, and put the back of his hand on his forehead.

Although he hadn't entered the capital yet, and the surrounding area was deserted, he was outside after all. Facing the sudden attack, Shen Zhiqiu couldn't help shrinking back, trying to escape Han Bi's encirclement, but was dragged back by him the next moment.Although Shen Zhiqiu had great strength, at this moment, for some reason, his whole body felt weak, and only the warm touch of his palm kept him somewhat awake.

Then, he clearly felt that Han Bi's fingertips hooked his palm lightly. The strength was so subtle that it was hard to ignore. The serious sense of crisis was like a storm, which made him subconsciously want to resist.

Shen Zhiqiu's ears were flushed, and he said solemnly, "I'm going back."

After finishing speaking, he quickly took his hands back, crossed them behind his back, strictly guarded against them, and did not give the opponent any chance.

Han Bi knew that his thinking was simple, like a piece of white paper that was not stained with emotion, even if it was stained with emotion, it was only a few strokes, Luo couldn't afford to weave a beautiful picture scroll, so he had to let him go regretfully, and said: "You go out After that, ask someone to tell me, I want to know that you are safe and well."

Shen Zhiqiu nodded, but felt lost in his heart, feeling empty for no reason.

He and Han Bi were strangers to each other and never heard of each other. Although they were forced to get along day and night and support each other because of an accident, they became friends. But once they returned to the capital and returned to their original lives, he and Han Bi Between Bi, can there be such a harmonious time?

Shen Zhiqiu originally thought that after he recovered, Han Bi would let him go to the Han Mansion as a guest, but looking at it now, it seems that he was worrying too much.

At this moment, Xiao Shaoling's impatient voice came from a distance: "Just a few words, are you going to talk about it until tomorrow morning?! Is there anything in this world that can't be solved by fighting instead of chatting?" ?!"

Shen Zhiqiu turned around and shouted, "I'm coming right now!"

Han Bi smiled and said, "Go back quickly."

Shen Zhiqiu had no choice but to suppress those unnecessary emotions, turned around and swept towards Xiao Shaoling.
