This sleeve is broken secretly

The morning light penetrated into the house through the paper window, passed over the half-covered bed curtain, and shone on Shen Bing's shoulders.

He slept very deeply, and his whole body was trapped in the cotton quilt, with an unreserved and somewhat innocent appearance.At this time, his usual beauty and nobility faded a lot, like a piece of uncut jade with excellent water color, a layer of brilliance emerged in the cool morning light.

Xie Ling half leaned on the pillow and looked down at him.After a while, he reached out and picked up a strand of someone's hair, and gently scratched his nose, ear pinna and collarbone.Shen Ting in the dream seemed to be frightened by him, shrinking up and turning over to avoid him, but Xie Ling refused to let him hide, bent over and gently gnawed his collarbone with his teeth.

Shen Bing felt unwell in the haze, took a slight breath, and finally opened his eyes reluctantly.Xie Ling loved the way he woke up, as if the smoke had cleared, and the lake and mountains were dyed with color at the same time.

"Master Shen, it's time." Xie Qin whispered in his ear with a light smile, "Don't you have something to do today?"

Shen Bing hugged the quilt, his eyes dimmed, and he seemed reluctant to get up.At this time, he often suffers from spring sleepiness, especially last night when Xie Ling made trouble so late that he didn't get enough sleep at all.

His neck and shoulders exposed outside the quilt were as smooth as jade, but they were stained with a little bit of bright red, which looked sensational and seductive.Xie Ling smiled lowly, and before he woke up, he lowered his head and licked and kissed the marks made last night with the tip of his tongue, and after a while, the bright red became moist with a layer of water.

Shen Yan hastily pushed him away and stood up, stretching out his arms to reach the scattered underwear on the ground.Xie Qin leaned back and watched lazily as he got out of bed and dressed in the morning light of Daiqing.

Shen Bing didn't like to be served by servants. After washing his face, he was about to comb his hair, and looked back at him: "Aren't you sorry?"

"I don't think about it." Xie Ling lazily hugged the quilt to the tip of his nose, and said with a low smile, "You smell all over the tent, I can't bear to get up."

Shen Bing blushed, cleared his throat, turned his back and sat down at the table, and began to tie his hair.

Xie Ling looked at the shy Master Shen with a smile, got off the bed and came behind him, picked up the comb and combed his hair.Men's hair is easy to comb. First, tie a small bun circle on the top of the head. The rest of the hair is scattered and drooping. Insert the hairpin into the bun circle, wrap the hairpin tightly with the rest of the hair, and then tie it with a cloth strip.

Shen Biao lowered his head slightly, quietly letting him mess around, and the room was quiet for a while.

After tying the last knot, Xie Ling smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Master Shen, it's done."

There was still some scarlet color on Shen Bing's face, he gave a low "um" and glanced back at him.Xie Ling was still topless, with underwear hanging loosely on his thin waist, and his tight and flexible muscle lines became more and more distinct in the dark room.Shen Bing only took one look, then quickly looked away.

Xie Qin followed his dodging eyes with a smile, and asked him with a smile: "Are you busy these two days?"

"Fortunately."

"In a few days, my second brother will invite a few friends to go boating and swimming by the Yanjiang River. If you have nothing to do, come along."

Shen Yan paused with his coat covered, and said for a long time: "Let's have a look again."

Xie Ling leaned against the table and stared at Shen Bing with folded arms.Although he is half full, his posture is calm, even a bit oppressive.His eyes were dark, with unknown emotions flickering in his eyes, and he said calmly: "It was my second brother who asked me to invite you."

Shen Bing was taken aback.

"When you were in Shangsi before, you didn't expose the fact that we two brothers were also driving on an outing, and the second brother was always very grateful. Later, the land policy you proposed relieved the pressure on his military department to a large extent. He has always valued your talent and learning. I am full of praise, and I want to make friends with you. This time, I only invited a few good friends for the boat race."

Shen Bing let out an "ah", but his expression was still a little hesitant.

Xie Ling stared at him, and suddenly sneered: "Don't worry, he doesn't know the relationship between you and me. He just wants to get to know you."

Shen Yan frowned and sighed: "Let it be, I..."

"Come or not, you decide." Xie Qin got up, reached for his clothes and quickly put them on, "But if you don't go, you can talk to my second brother yourself."

Shen Bing watched his movements silently, there was a trace of imperceptible anxiety between his brows and eyes, and his slender fingers were unconsciously rubbing the hem of his clothes.Xie Ling didn't give him a chance to meditate for too long, he put on his clothes soon, opened the door and was about to go out.

"Let it go." Shen Yan called out to him at the right time.

Xie Ling stopped, but did not turn around.

Shen Yan watched him hesitate to speak, his expression was very complicated, and he sighed in a low voice for a long time: "...is there anyone around you who knows our relationship?"

Xie Ling's fingers holding the door frame tightened suddenly.He seemed to try his best to restrain the urge to turn around and get angry, took a deep breath, said "Only Yan Shisong knows" stiffly, and strode away without stopping.

Shen Bing stared blankly at the empty door frame after he left, and rubbed his forehead irritably for a long while.

----

Such a peaceful morning turned into such an appearance, and Shen Bing was so worried that he could not sleep for several days, and even when he was working, he often lost his mind.

In fact, Shen Yu is not unfeeling, he knows what promise Xie Ling wants, and he also knows what Xie Ling wants to hear.However, it is undeniable that he and Xie Yin are very different in terms of growth environment and family background, and the things to consider are also very different.

He is a native of Sanhu County, Jingzhou Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River. He was very smart as a young man and won the favor of the prefect of Jingzhou. Under his recommendation, he worshiped Qin Lang, the founder of Jingzhou School, as his teacher.This seemingly smooth life is actually paid for at a great price.

His father was a scholar who hadn't even been admitted to high school for ten years. He had no choice but to be a teacher in Sanhu County after failing to meet his talents. After having a son, he naturally had extremely high demands on his only child.Shen's father was a rigid and upright person, and when he was a child, he was not even allowed to go out to play, and he was only allowed to study behind closed doors.And Shen's mother is an ordinary woman who does not leave her home, is ordinary and cowardly, and takes her husband as her heaven.

It is simply that Shen Bing moved to the academy when he was very young, and only then under the influence of the great Confucianism did he grow into the gentle and charming appearance he is today, and he did not become rigid and pedantic due to the education of Shen's father and Shen's mother.But with a family like this, Shen Yi's way of thinking about many things is indeed different from Xie Ling's.

For example, his relationship with Xie Ling.

Even in a place like the capital where the folk customs are open, there are occasional scandals about broken sleeves, but they dissipate quickly. Most people embark on the normal road of getting married and having children after having a romantic affair.

In fact, Shen Ting has always felt that even if he and Xie Ling know each other and are in love, either because of the current situation or the general trend, they will go their separate ways one day.

Although every time he thinks of this, he feels a dull pain in his heart, but this is probably... the reality.

But gradually—especially recently—he felt that Xie Ling was demanding more.It seems that the relationship Xie Ling longs for is public, open, and blessed, which is far from what he has always thought.

It should be known that it is different from Xie Ling's arrogance and wantonness. If he is not extra careful, he will have to face accusations from his family, criticism from courtiers and even the attitude of Emperor Hongwu.He has studied hard for ten years, and still has too many ambitions that have not been realized. At this time, he cannot give him a handle because of "broken sleeves".

But...but Xie Ling...

Thinking of this name, Shen Bing's heart tightened for a while, painful and sweet, confused and tangled.Although he looks gentle and docile on the outside, he actually has his own ideas inside and rarely hesitates in his life.This is probably the first time in his life that he has tasted the feeling of "anxiety and uncertainty" and "an unpredictable future".

Really lovesickness, it hurts lovesickness.

Xie Ling in that room seemed to be annoyed by Shen Yi's words and actions, and he didn't show up for a few days.Shen Bing was so entangled in his heart that he didn't know what to say when the two met, and he didn't take the initiative to find him.Half a month passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Xie Hua invited him to go boating and swimming.

Although Shen Yan told himself repeatedly, before he figured it out, even if the two met, it would be a quarrel.But when that day really came, he still went to the appointment as if he was out of control.
