This sleeve is broken secretly

Originally, Shen Bin didn't intend to come to Stone Forest to join in the fun, but happened to pass by the boundary of Nancheng, and he was moved when he saw the familiar mountain and forest.But he didn't want people to know that he had returned to Beijing, so he put down the curtain of the curtain, came and left in a hurry.

Passing through the city in a low-key way, when Shen Yan saw the mansion at the end of the street from a distance, he couldn't help but feel as if he had passed away, and his heart was slightly sour.

Two years have passed.

At that time, he was full of disappointment and desolation, and traveled far away, thinking that he might never come back here again.But he didn't expect that time flies, the world is impermanent, fate may really be on the established track, and some inescapable responsibilities will eventually bring him back to the original place.

When Shen Bing reined in his horse in front of the familiar bluestone steps, and looked up at the lintel with the word "Shen's house" and the red lanterns under the porch, countless past events rushed past his eyes like an endless wave, which made his body and mind tremble. trembled.

Taking a breath slightly to calm down, Shen Bing jumped off the shaft of the car and walked towards the door.However, as soon as one foot stepped up the stone steps, the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", and a tall and strong young man stepped out with big strides.

He seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere, but when he saw the carriage and people at the door, he froze in place.

Shen Bing: "..." This child seems familiar, but—could it be——

The boy's eyes widened, and he stared at Shen Bian stupidly, still maintaining the posture of rushing out with half of his body, as if he didn't know how to move his hands and feet.

Shen Yiqing coughed, raised her hand and half lifted the curtain of the curtain, and said with a smile: "You—"

Before the words fell, the young man let out a long howl and slammed into Shen Bing's arms like a flying stone!Shen Bing was bumped by him and took two steps back, his eyes blurred, and he almost fell to the ground.

"My lord! My lord -- woo woo, you're back! I, I miss you so much..." The tall young man was already about the same height as Shen Bing, but he still wanted to hide his head in Shen Bing's arms like he did when he was a child, and cried again He laughed again, "My lord is back! My lord is back!"

Shen Bian already knew who he was, feeling both emotional and funny in his heart, he raised his hand to stroke the back of his hairy head.

At this time, many servants in the door heard Shen Bokong's yell, they came out in surprise and joy, Shen Bing took a look, unexpectedly, many of them were familiar faces from before.Shen Bokong held Shen Bing's hand tightly, turned his head and asked others to carry the luggage, while he happily pulled Shen Bing into Shen's residence.

After not returning for two years, Shen Bian originally thought that the yard would be deserted and sparsely populated.However, as soon as you step through the door, you can see that the windows are bright and clean, the vegetation in the courtyard is lush and lush, and a familiar fragrance of flowers floats in the wind, which is actually the smell of white wood.Walking through the courtyard and coming to the main hall, I saw that the tables and chairs are all the same as they were back then.When he sat down and picked up the hot tea served by his attendants, he suddenly felt a little stunned in his heart—as if the two years separated by mountains and seas did not exist, and he just went to court, and at this moment, another day Back home as usual.

"My lord, are you tired or hungry?" Shen Bokong who was next to him didn't dare to take a seat in front of him, but obediently stood aside, and asked eagerly, "Do you want me to ask the kitchen to cook you something to eat?"

"No rush, no rush." ​​Shen Bing paused, looked up at him, and couldn't help but sigh, "You've grown up so much in one or two years...Stop standing, sit down and have a good talk with me. You haven't slack off in your homework and martial arts in the past two years, have you?"

Shen Bokong said solemnly: "How can I sit in front of adults? I'd better stand and talk to you."

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing "puchi", and said softly: "You child, the most naughty since childhood, how come you have learned to be so rigid now? There is no one here, you sit here so we can talk."

Shen Bokong scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled naively, and was about to come and sit down, but suddenly heard a rush of staggering footsteps outside the door——but saw the old servant walking in in a hurry, seeing the chief Shen Bing's eyes immediately became wet: "My lord!"

Shen Bing hurriedly stood up to meet him.The old servant sat down with his support, held him tightly with both hands, stared at Shen Bing with good eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord... I look forward to it day and night, you...you are finally back. Thank you just now, my lord." I sent a message to say that you have arrived in Beijing. I still can't believe it. I didn't expect to see you so soon. Why didn't you send a letter to the family in advance so that we can also prepare..."

Shen Bing was also full of emotion, but when he heard the words "Master Xie", he was stunned for a moment: "Let him... know my whereabouts?"

"I probably didn't know before." Shen Bokong interjected, "But from what he said just now, it seems that he met you in the stone forest in the southern suburbs. So did you really go to the stone forest just now?"

Shen Bing's heart was shocked, and he didn't speak in a daze.

In the stone forest just now...was Rang Zhi also there?

Thinking of passing by Xie Ling when he was completely unaware, Shen Ting couldn't help short of breath, his whole skin was covered with a fine layer of numbness, a little uncontrollable, a little shy.

Where did he see himself?Why didn't you come up to meet each other?Is it because the two missed it too quickly, and he didn't have time to come to meet him; or did he just see himself from a distance, and he didn't intend to recognize him?

For a moment, his thoughts were disturbed like a mess, and Shen Bing froze in place.

The old servant looked at his expression, sighed slightly in his heart, and said softly: "You have been away for such a long time, Mr. Xie has been taking care of our family. Since the beginning of the year when it was confirmed that you will return to Beijing, he has been running here every now and then , and arranged for people to repair the yard and sent daily necessities, and even tidied up the flowers and plants in the yard, just in case you will not live comfortably when you come back."

Shen Bing listened silently.After a while, he sighed softly.

Shen Bokong saw that Shen Bing was sad and sad, and he couldn't help interjecting in dissatisfaction: "My lord is back, why did grandpa say these things. Didn't you just want to ask me about martial arts, my lord? Let me tell you about it, okay?" ?”

This kid really has no discernment.The old servant scolded him inwardly, slapped him lightly, and reprimanded: "You are the one. My lord is coming back. I am exhausted from the journey. Is there anything I can't say later? Let your lord wash up and have a good rest now. "

Shen Bing was full of thoughts, and he was indeed a little tired, so he got up and patted Shen Bokong's shoulder, comforting him: "Yes, there will be opportunities in the future. I'll go to the room to rest for a while, and it won't be too late for us to talk at night. .”

Shen Bo nodded hurriedly, ran to move Shen Bing's body to salute, and led the way in front, accompanied Shen Bing to his bedroom.

The osmanthus trees in the courtyard seemed to grow thicker and denser again. At this time, the thick shade in early summer was enough to border the eaves and corners of the house.Shen Bing still remembers that two years ago, the window of his bedroom was not covered by the shade of trees, as long as the sun rises, the first ray of morning light will surely shine into his room at regular intervals.

But at this time, he opened the door and entered, looked around, but saw the cool shade like a quilt, and he didn't know when the emerald tree shadows had densely covered his window.The room was shady and cool, Shen Bing stepped up to the half-open window, raised his hand and picked up a laurel leaf that had fallen on the window couplet, and sighed softly.

Shen Bokong put his things on the table, peeked at his reaction, and said tentatively: "My lord, do you still like the arrangement in the room? You used to put a soft couch in front of the window, but I I thought it might be inconvenient if you want to read and write. If you want, I will ask someone to replace this soft couch with a table and chair..."

Shen Bing turned around, and gently slid his fingers across the soft couch under the window.The once bright brocade has faded slightly over the years, but the silky and cool touch when the fingertips slide over it is still the same as before.

In an instant, he seemed to have returned to countless midsummers of the past.At that time, he was lying on the bed and taking a rest with his eyes closed, and soon someone would sneak into the room carrying iced sour plum soup, laughing and pressing the wet and cold wall of the bowl to his face.

"No need." At some point, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Shen Bing stared at the brocade under his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "The current layout...is very good."

Shen Bokong was a little disappointed, he responded sullenly, and asked again: "My lord, do you want to wash up? Shall I boil some water for you?"

"You don't need to bother to boil the water." Shen Yan pondered and said, "Take some acacia, fetch some water, and I'll wash it off."

Shen Bokong responded, and was about to go out to prepare, but was stopped by Shen Ting: "...wait a minute."

Shen Bokong hurriedly stopped, "What else do you want to order?"

"He..." Shen Bing's throat was a little choked, he cleared his throat, and asked in a low voice with some hesitation, "Let him just now——when he told you the news of my return to Beijing, did he say anything else? "

Hearing that Shen Bing asked Xie Ling, Shen Bokong was a little stunned, but he still replied obediently: "Master Xie didn't come in person, he was sent by a servant who only knew about us. Maybe he himself is still here. At the Stone Forest banquet, I didn't have time to come back."

is that so?

Shen Bing felt a little empty in his heart, he waved his hand and let Shen Bokong leave.

The weather in early summer is already hot, and a shower is just enough to wash away the wind and dust and the heat of the afternoon.When Shen Yan came to the bathroom, two large buckets of clean water had already been filled inside. There were two towels and two towels beside the bucket, as well as cleansing things such as acacia and bath beans, which exuded a faint fragrance in the room.

Shen Bing took off his clothes, loosened his long hair, picked up the hanging slender curtains, and walked into the bathroom with bare feet.The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, which exudes a slight coolness when splashed with water, and it is very refreshing to step on.Shen Bing held a wooden spoon, scooped up a ladle and poured it on his head, his mind and body improved immediately.He took a deep breath, rubbed his face, his nose was filled with the fragrance of acacia and the fragrance of spring osmanthus faintly wafting from the window, and his whole body relaxed.

As soon as the cold water rushed, he couldn't help washing away the layer of dirt attached to his body, and it seemed that even the anxiety in his heart had calmed down a lot.Shen Bing took a piece of acacia, brushed the long hair on his back gently, and slowly closed his eyes.

He knew in his heart that when he returned to Beijing, he would meet Xie Ling again...but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Like a timid traveler who is close to his hometown, no matter how passionate the yearning and friendship are in his heart when he is separated by thousands of miles, when he sets foot on this familiar land again, what fills his chest is more confusion, anxiety, and timidity.

Although those memories related to Xie Jin are still vivid and hot, and sometimes just thinking about it can cause huge waves in his body, but...

But time can really change a lot of things.

Two years have passed.Two years can turn a young boy into a slender boy, change the entire Central Plains dynasty, and completely change the capital city.

Why is he so sure that Xie Qin is still waiting for him?

Somewhere in my heart suddenly tightened.Shen Bing shook his head, the water flowed into his eyes, and the corners of his eyes felt a little stinging.He hastily reached out and picked up the bath towel, rubbing his eyes vigorously, the sourness in his heart became more and more obvious.

Today Xie Ling obviously saw him, why didn't he come forward to recognize him?

Is it because you are afraid that there will be too many people talking, and let others see it and gossip?But Xie Ling is obviously not someone who cares about what other people think.Or is it the same as him, timid because of the proximity to the country?Or just because—there was nothing to talk to him about.

Think about it too, although they have vows of eternal love, they have no marriage contract.He was also the one who insisted on leaving back then, even if Xie Qin fell in love with someone else in the past two years, he was not qualified to take responsibility and complain.It is the most common thing to wait for leisure to change old people's hearts.

It's just that the hollowness and soreness in the chest, which seems to be torn apart, is spreading little by little.

Shen Bing exhaled suddenly, raised a spoon and poured a ladle of cold water on top of his head.

Can't think about it anymore.The purpose of returning to Beijing this time is to assist the present and regain the unfinished business of the year.He can no longer let those charming and illusory dreams become a stumbling block for him to hesitate.

Thinking of this, the hesitant heart seemed to settle for a moment.But at this moment, he suddenly heard a slight "creak" from the outer door of the bathroom, as if someone had walked in.

Shen Bing thought it was a servant who came to deliver a change of clothes, so he raised his voice and ordered to put the things outside.But the footsteps outside paused briefly, but did not stop, and continued to walk inside.

Shen Bian always dislikes being served by others when taking a bath, and the old man in Shen's house knows that.But at this moment, this servant is still walking inside, is it because he is new to the mansion and doesn't know the rules?

Shen Bing picked up the bath towel and wiped his face. He just wanted to turn around so that he didn't have to come, but just as soon as he turned around, he could only catch a tall figure in the corner of his eyes. Before he could speak, he was hugged from behind into a hot chest.

He froze in place.The visitor didn't even have time to lift Xige's curtain, so he hugged him tightly.At this moment, the cool and soft curtain was pressed against his back, and the familiar heat was penetrating into his vest through the curtain, and the vivid heartbeat was just a short distance away, beating him madly and heavily soul.

Shen Bing was stunned.It was as if I had just stepped out of a thick fog and suddenly fell into another layer of dreamland.Is this reality, or fiction?He trembled, and just about to pull the hands that imprisoned him, but the person behind him suddenly exerted force, turned him around, pressed hard on the wooden wall of the bathroom, and kissed him down.

The two staggered and knocked over the bucket, and with a "bang", clear water overflowed and covered the bluestone slabs, and the fragrance immediately filled the entire narrow space.

Shen Bing was forced to lean against the wall, with his head raised high, unable to bear the overwhelming kiss.The kiss was urgent and hasty, as if the world was about to split in the next moment, and they only had a moment left to engrave their love deeply into each other's bones.The friendship was so strong that Shen Yan could hardly bear it, and his whole body trembled.

After a long time, when the nibbling finally gradually turned into a lingering kiss, the person in front of him gasped heavily and raised his head slightly.The light passed through the treetops, penetrated into the window, and sprinkled on their bodies, and Shen Bing could finally see his appearance clearly.

Xie Qin's deep and handsome face was so close.Those beautiful and bright almond eyes were staring at him deeply, which contained so much affection and sadness of the vicissitudes of the sea and the dryness of the sea, so that people could not help but feel heartbroken after just one glance.

I don't know how many times the person who dreamed back finally passed through thousands of mountains and rivers and layers of phantom fog, and stood in front of him again.

And Xie Qin didn't seem to be sure whether all this was a dream or reality.He raised his hand trembling slightly, and his thumb slid heavily across Shen Bing's cheeks, nose tip, and eye corners, and finally stopped at his temples.

"Liangqing..."

Suddenly, my vision blurred.Shen Bing closed his eyes, and buried the wetness on his face into the pit of his neck.

----

At the same time, the front hall of the Shen residence.

Shen Bokong squatted on the steps with his mouth pouted, while shaking a branch viciously as if venting his anger, making the floor "slap", while raising his eyes to look at the backyard from time to time, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness.

The old servant came out slowly, stood aside and looked at him for a while, then Fang said slowly: "Okay, don't be angry, what to do."

"Grandpa!" Shen Bokong shouted, "Why didn't you let me stop Mr. Xie just now? When he came, the notification couldn't wait for him to rush inside, really—"

"Okay, I don't know what you think yet?" The old servant went over and poked him on the head, "There are family members on the left and right, why talk about so many rules? You, look at me in the future, don't always It's an eyesore in front of your lord and Xie Guan."

Shen Bokong muttered: "It used to be a family, but now it's not necessarily a family. It's been two years, who knows what our lord thinks now, so is there anyone else out there for so long? Woolen cloth?"

"Don't pretend to be confused. Don't you know if the two of them have changed?" The old servant narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the green tops of the big osmanthus tree in the backyard, and smiled slowly, "Don't say It's been two years, the two of them... have spent decades getting tired and hot."

"……grandfather!"

"Okay, children, don't keep meddling with adults' affairs. I asked you to clean up and salute, have you cleaned up?"
