Jun You Ji Fou

Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu were the only two left in the hall at once. The charcoal fire blazed softly, the wind roared outside the hall, and heavy snow fell one after another. The mansion was so quiet that there was not even a trace of human voice.

"I thought my house was deserted enough, but I didn't expect your place to be so deserted." Su Shiyu suddenly said.

"I've never had any festive occasions." Chu Mingyun chuckled, and said casually, "If I don't need someone to serve me, I let the servants disperse. I don't have a home, so why break up those reunions that have families."

Su Shiyu nodded, without making a sound, he handed him the peeled kumquat in his hand.

Seeing this, Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows and smiled, without reaching out to pick it up, he looked at Su Shiyu and said, "Master Su treats me like a three-year-old child, can an orange make me happy?"

"..." Su Shiyu looked down at the half-peeled orange in the other hand, and handed it over together.

Chu Mingyun's smile deepened, and he frowned and said, "Could it be enough to have two?"

"It's fine if you don't want to eat." Su Shiyu withdrew his hand.

"Which one said not to eat?" Chu Mingyun grabbed his hand.Su Shiyu chuckled, but it was rare that he didn't break away.

The sound of the wind outside the hall gradually subsided, the falling snow was silent, and the soft ringing of the bells protecting the flowers at the corner of the eaves could be heard, interspersed with the crisp sound of ice falling under the eaves.

Chu Mingyun tore off a piece of orange flesh, and suddenly thought, "By the way, what happened to the banning of the East Palace on New Year's Eve that you and His Majesty mentioned that day?"

"It's not something worth mentioning." Su Shiyu sighed softly.

"When Mr. Su said that, I think it's worth listening to."

"..." Su Shiyu glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty has always been easy to trust others. When he was the crown prince, he accidentally said the wrong thing in front of his servants, and he was caught. The late emperor punished him by banning him from the East Palace on New Year's Eve. As an attendant, I copied the books for him all night, that's all."

Chu Mingyun couldn't help but handed him another kumquat, expressing his sympathy.

Su Shiyu glanced at him with a smile, paused, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, there is something that I haven't been able to find the right time to tell you before."

"Ok?"

"You should have read the verdict of uncle's case?"

"You mean something that was kept secret from Huainan Wang?" Chu Mingyun said, "I can almost guess what you want to do."

Su Shiyu looked at him sideways unexpectedly, "Can you guess it?"

"Master Su," Chu Mingyun sighed slowly, "After all, I have been chasing you for more than half a year, why don't I get to know you better?"

"How much do you know?"

"Yeah, I can probably guess your way of doing things, but—" Chu Mingyun supported his body with one hand, leaned closer, his plain fingertips landed on the lapel of Confucian white clothes, and he lightly touched Su Shiyu's heart, He said in a low voice, "I can't guess what you're thinking here."

Su Shiyu was slightly stagnant, but he didn't dodge. He looked down at him and said, "What does Master Chu want to guess?"

Chu Mingyun smiled very lightly, and said slowly, "It's too much to guess, for example, what do you think of me, or for example," he raised his eyelids little by little, and met Su Shiyu's gaze, "Why did you come here tonight? "

Following the voice, he made a circle on the skirt of his clothes with his fingers, stroking his heart with moderate force, the movement slowed down almost vaguely, Su Shiyu pressed his hand, and said with a soft smile: "Is the reason important?"

"Of course it's important." Chu Mingyun frowned and smiled, "Qin Zhao thinks you are doing it for Du Yue, but I don't think so, but if it's not like that, could it be because of me?"

"I thought Master Yichu's style would directly be regarded as the latter."

Chu Mingyun held his hand instead, stared into his eyes, "Answer me."

But he didn't know how to answer, after all, even he didn't understand why he suddenly made the decision to come alone.In fact, not everything in this world has a reason, most of it is a sudden wave of emotion, but Chu Mingyun would not believe it if he said so.

Su Shiyu thought for a while, then withdrew his hand, and smiled faintly, "It's because of you."

Chu Mingyun was slightly taken aback by the unexpected answer.

The warm light of the charcoal fire reflected the smile in his eyes, and Su Shiyu asked back: "Did Master Chu forget that you didn't invite me here in front of His Majesty?"

Chu Mingyun came back to his senses, raised his brows slightly, "Of course I remember, that's why I said——Master Su came to see me because he felt lonely in the middle of the night?"

These words always felt a bit ambiguous, Su Shiyu looked away, and saved the topic in time, "In short, I discussed with His Majesty, and decided to arrest King Huainan while patrolling the princes after the restoration of the dynasty. At that time, the previous case will be released Bring it up again."

"It's about the same as I guessed, but what does this have to do with me?"

"Uncle's case was settled only to dispel Huainan King's vigilance. It is unavoidable to be hasty. Others seem to have many doubts. The evidence that framed you earlier misled many people, and the rumors of Fufeng County have spread these days. I am afraid that now the public I have privately identified you as the real murderer."

Chu Mingyun said indifferently: "So what?"

"Thus, during this period of time, Master Chu will be wronged and criticized, but you can rest assured that after the king of Huainan is convicted, I will definitely announce the framed matter to the world and return your innocence."

"You don't have to be like this, I don't care what others think of me." Chu Mingyun smiled casually, "Besides, the most ignorant people in the world are these people, why bother to explain to them."

Su Shiyu smiled lightly and said, "Even if Lord Chu doesn't care, it is my duty to clear your suspicions, and I should definitely do it."

Chu Mingyun tilted his head and stared at him for a moment, then lowered his head and chuckled lightly, and stopped answering.

The wind and snow outside the hall did not know when it stopped, suddenly there was a surge of heavy bells, one after another, midnight had arrived.The sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out, and the sky was full of crimson debris, countless fireworks surrounded the dark night sky, bursting into thousands of brilliance and stars, and the noise woke up the night.

"Hey," Chu Mingyun looked straight outside, and suddenly said, "Do you want to go out with me to set off fireworks?"

"Master Chu prepared fireworks?" Su Shiyu asked.

"I don't have one, but Du Yue bought it, and I know where he hides it."

"Aren't you afraid that Ah Yue will find you when he wakes up tomorrow?"

"It's easy," Chu Mingyun looked at him and blinked, "Just say I don't know, I haven't seen it, Du Yue doesn't believe me, but I will believe you."

"Then why should I help Lord Chu hide it?" Su Shiyu laughed.

Chu Mingyun pulled Su Shiyu directly and walked out of the hall, "Because you are an accomplice now."

The pile of fireworks was hidden in the corner, and they took them to the court and arranged them one by one, only to realize that Du Yue bought a variety of styles and everything.

Chu Mingyun lit two firecrackers, turned his head and saw Su Shiyu studying a lotus lantern-like fireworks, "That one burns fast, you put it last."

"Well, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

Chu Mingyun thought for a while, "Remember to run over and hug me tightly after ordering."

"..." Su Shiyu thought for a while, "Why?"

"I'm worried that the sound will be too loud later, you are afraid."

"...Master Chu is really considerate."

The crimson flashed upwards along the fuze, and accompanied by a loud noise like thunder, beams of flames flew up to the sky, and immediately large fireworks bloomed, and bits of brilliance fell like stars and rain, which was too beautiful to behold.Their place was dimmed a bit, and the night sky elsewhere was brilliant, and the sound of fireworks was close and continuous.

There were children laughing and running along the alley, and their thin singing voices passed through the walls of the vermilion mansion, through the thin smoke smelling like gunpowder, singing that the moon is bending over Kyushu, some families are happy and some are sad.

Several families were happy and some were sad, Su Shiyu thought a few times in his heart, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows and chuckling, in this festive season, naturally, only the lonely and lonely can add hatred.He looked sideways, and found another lone man squatting under the red plum blossoms in the courtyard at some point, concentrating on wrapping the snow.

Su Shiyu walked over and squatted down, quietly watching his hands with sharp knuckles make two snowballs, and suddenly smiled, "I'll pinch another one for you to see."

After saying that, he really gathered a handful of snow with his hands, squeezed out a flat body, pressed a round head, and carefully carved out two pointed ears with his fingertips.Su Shiyu was looking for suitable falling petals on the ground for eyes, when Chu Mingyun, who had been looking sideways, suddenly stretched out his hand, Su Shiyu looked at his hand resting next to the head for no reason, flexed his fingers slightly, and immediately flicked one ear.

"..." Su Shiyu looked deeply at Chu Mingyun, and saw that he smiled with crooked brows and eyes, and the corners of his lips turned up, and he ruthlessly destroyed the other ear with great interest, so symmetrical that even Su Shiyu didn't know what to say.

So Su Shiyu held a palm of soft and clear snow by his side without saying a word, looked at it a little, and stuffed it into Chu Mingyun's defenseless collar.

Chu Mingyun's reaction was extremely fast, and he bounced away a few feet as soon as he touched it, but he was still shivering from the ice on the back of his neck.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly grabbed Su Shiyu who got up and was about to leave without caring about patting the snow.Su Shiyu over there didn't have time to stand still, and was caught off guard by him, and suddenly his feet slipped. At this moment, his thoughts changed sharply. Suddenly, Su Shiyu no longer stabilized his body, but instead held Chu Mingyun's arm, holding Chu Mingyun's arm It dragged under the water.

The two of them just fell flat on the thick snow regardless of their appearance. In the chaos of falling, Chu Mingyun only had time to support the ground with his hands to avoid being crushed on Su Shiyu's body. He was relieved and felt somewhat complicated. Just as he was about to say something, he lowered his eyes and met Su Shiyu's eyes with a deep smile, feeling bad.

The next moment Su Shiyu stretched out his hand and patted the plum tree by his side, the plum tree trembled, and the branches full of snow covered the sky with bright red petals. The body is cold.

Chu Mingyun supported Su Shiyu's head with one hand, brushed the snow from the back of his head, and then looked at the icy cold snow water that melted in his hand, "Su Shiyu," he said, "if it was someone else, I would have buried him alive In the snow."

When the falling snow fell, a petaled red plum brushed against Chu Mingyun's temples and floated down, and landed leisurely on Su Shiyu's eyes.He smelled a bit of sandalwood in the cold fragrance of red plums, and there was a corner of his vision that was slightly stained crimson, while Chu Mingyun's eyebrows were very close, and his long, frosty, crow-colored hair was blown up by the wind, obscuring the fireworks in the night sky.

Su Shiyu took down Luomei, lay down in the snow and smiled leisurely: "If any other person can make you so embarrassed, Mr. Chu will be ashamed to see others." Carefully wipe off the broken snow.

When the fingertips just touched the forehead, it was slightly cool, but as it was drawn into the hair, it became a little bit warmer. The extremely gentle and light movements caused the scalp to tingle slightly.

Without waiting for Chu Mingyun to think about it, Su Shiyu withdrew his hand, "Okay, get up."

"You wake up when you think about it?" Chu Mingyun laughed and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Say something nice."

Su Shiyu pondered for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for blocking all the snow for me."

Chu Mingyun grabbed his chin and looked at each other, "Very well, don't think about it tonight."

Su Shiyu smiled helplessly, thinking about how to solve the current situation, but didn't answer for a while.

The lanterns flickering under the red corridor flickeringly reflected the lights and shadows in the courtyard.Chu Mingyun pinched Su Shiyu's chin, and his eyes fell on his lips unconsciously.The color of his lips has always been lighter, but at this moment, I don't know if it's because of the cold, or because of the white snow under his body, a little color has emerged, and there is a faint line of deep red between his lips.

Chu Mingyun suddenly bent down like a ghost.

"...Master Chu?" Wen Run's voice sounded suddenly, slightly astonished.

Chu Mingyun stopped abruptly, and met Su Shiyu's eyes within a short distance, only to realize that he was almost about to kiss Su Shiyu, and the distance was only a slight distance away, and his breath was palpable.

He stood up as if awakened, took a step back and raised his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, and then pulled Su Shiyu up.

Su Shiyu gave him a puzzled look, then smiled indifferently.

After this ordeal, the robes of the two of them were mostly soaked by the snow, and they went back to the living room and sat opposite each other to dry slowly.Chu Mingyun watched Su Shiyu take off his outer robe calmly, sighed a few words that made him dizzy, and simply stopped thinking about the matter just now.He supported himself lazily, and suddenly said: "That's right."

"Why?" Su Shiyu looked at the back of his drenched robe and replied.

"Actually, the mouse you made just now is quite cute." Chu Mingyun said.

"I'm so admired by you," Su Shiyu glanced at him, "I pinched a rabbit just now."

"……Row."
