Sandalwood is faint in the room.

Chu Mingyun knocked on the table, looked at Du Yue who was stuffing pastries into his mouth, "I called you here for business, not to treat you to eat."

Du Yue replied vaguely without raising his eyes, "I know, it's definitely not good for you to find me, so I'll give you a few taels more now to calm down."

Chu Mingyun didn't bother to care about him, so he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and put it in front of him, "Help me find out what's going on here? Why do people in the Su residence all have wonderful expressions when they see it."

Du Yue suddenly stopped breathing and choked, coughing and pointing in shock, "Damn it!... This, this, this, this..."

Chu Mingyun rested his chin leisurely and looked at his expression, "Yes, that's the reaction."

"Where did you steal the surname Chu?"

Chu Mingyun looked at him expressionlessly, "Su Shiyu gave it to me with his own hands."

"... Su Shiyu gave this to you?! Which Su Shiyu?!" Du Yue calmed down.

"How many cousins ​​do you have, don't you know better than me?"

"...Is my cousin stupid?" Du Yue couldn't believe it.

"Get to the point." Chu Mingyun said impatiently.

"... Oh." Du Yue covered his head and calmed down for a while, "I remember this jade pendant was left to him by his aunt, and my cousin has been carrying it since he was a child."

"Are you sure?" Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Su Shiyu had bet on it before, if it was really so important, would he be willing to do it?"

"You don't understand," Du Yue said proudly, "I have seen Su Bai take this jade pendant to work several times. Basically, as long as anyone who has some contacts with the Su family, sees this jade pendant, Knowing that it is my cousin, even if I lose out, no one will dare to take it, and it will definitely go back to him in the end."

"Oh—?" Chu Mingyun said with a smile, "Seeing Yu is like seeing someone?"

"But since my cousin dares to give it to you, you don't want to use the jade pendant to mobilize the power of the Su family." Du Yue said decisively.

Chu Mingyun glanced at Du Yue, who had a rare brain, and the other party only stared at the jade pendant, and took a bite of the hibiscus cake, "But my cousin won't give it to me, no matter what!"

"I can't figure it out either." Chu Mingyun held the jade pendant in his hand and said uncertainly, "Probably he didn't have anything else on him at that time...or he was going to—"

"Chu Mingyun." Du Yue interrupted him suddenly and solemnly, "I don't know what it's like for you officials to fight all day long, but aside from this, my cousin is not what you think So insidious, this jade pendant is really important to him!"

"Yes yes yes, you have always looked towards him, wishing that Su Shiyu was your own brother." Chu Mingyun replied casually, raised the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it in front of his eyes. With a cold smile, he let go of the hand holding the jade pendant without warning, "I don't care if it's important or not."

The white jade fell straight down, and there was a clear and clear sound of jade clanging on the ground.

Du Yue was stunned, turned to stand up against the desk, and said angrily, "Chu, are you sick?" He stepped forward to pick it up, but was blocked by Chu Mingyun's lifting of his foot, and suddenly straightened up again. ,"What are you doing?!"

Chu Mingyun folded his arms on the table, tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, "What did you pick up for me?"

"You don't want me, can you?" Du Yue glared at him.

"No." He said slowly.

"Fuck you!" Du Yue flung his sleeves and walked out, gritted his teeth and cursed as he passed by him: "I don't know how to flatter you, and others don't know how to cherish you with good intentions, just wait for retribution!"

Chu Mingyun watched him off with a smile, "Happy."

Du Yue kicked the door open.

The room fell silent.Chu Mingyun turned his head back, his smile subsided, he drank a cup of tea slowly, got up and went out.

But he stopped in front of the door for no reason, unable to take another step.

Chu Mingyun stood silently in the room, with his hands on the red lacquer carved door, motionless, his eyes seemed to be on some emptiness, and he was lost in thought.

The sandalwood burnt out silently, and shattered into a furnace full of dust. The wind blew through the window, and the dark fragrance flowed.

After a long time, he suddenly turned around slowly, staring at the same place expressionlessly, the light in his eyes fluctuating.He stepped back and bent over to pick up the things at his feet. The jade was still intact, but there were a few cracks in it, which were clearly visible in the sunlight.

Chu Mingyun frowned and clicked his tongue, then stuffed the jade pendant back into his sleeve, "Trouble."

"Cousin --!!!" With a roar, the study door was pushed open vigorously.

Su Shiyu looked up at the angry blue figure, and couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter, are you here to seek revenge on me?"

"Come to find you to seek revenge from others!" Du Yue walked up to his desk a few steps, "Damn Chu Mingyun actually threw your things!"

"Something?" Su Shiyu's writing hand paused, "What is it?"

"It's the jade pendant you gave me! He actually said he didn't care for it and threw it away. I rely on me to care for it!"

Su Shiyu put down his pen, frowned, "Speak well." After a moment's pause, he suddenly smiled softly, "Throw it away, then throw it away."

"You..." Du Yue couldn't accept his calm reaction, and said angrily, "Cousin, why don't you say anything?"

Su Shiyu looked at him, "What should I say?"

"For example, the one surnamed Chu is too much! He is nothing, he..."

"A Yue," Su Shiyu interrupted him, and smiled gently, "Why slander others like this."

"Where does this count as slander?!" Du Yue blurted out, but even though he was furious, seeing Su Shiyu's indifferent appearance, he was too embarrassed to continue to make noise, so he asked in a slow tone: "Cousin, that jade pendant is really good to you. It's very important, isn't it, why did you give it to him for no reason?"

"It's important, it's not important." Su Shiyu lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and wrote lightly: "It should be given to him, so I gave it to him."

"What do you mean?" Du Yue didn't understand.

Su Shiyu looked at Du Yue and sighed softly, "Since it's already given to him, it's his stuff, so it doesn't matter whether it's kept properly or thrown away, it's up to him."

"But how can you throw it away if you are suspected of it with good intentions?" Du Yue was indignant, "Cousin, you are so kind to him, there is no use for it!"

"You don't have to be so resentful." Su Shiyu reassured, "I just gave it voluntarily, I didn't intend to exchange for anything, and I didn't think about what it would be useful for, and I thought about the result at the time, so it's not too surprising now , you don’t need to be so concerned.” He smiled lightly, “Throw it away and throw it away.”

Du Yue was depressed, looked at Su Shiyu for a long time, and could only say distractedly: "Okay, I understand, it's okay not to scold him at the head office." He couldn't help but muttered, "I feel sorry for such a good jade being ruined for nothing. , might as well give it to me."

"For you?" Su Shiyu smiled, "How do I remember that since I was a child, the things I gave you were broken after three days?"

"Aren't I ignorant when I was young? If you give me something now, it will definitely not break!" After the words fell, Du Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned forward and said, "Cousin, give me a jade pendant too." Well, I will definitely collect the confession carefully!"

"No more." Su Shiyu shook his head.

"Huh? No more?"

"Well," he smiled softly, looking at the sky and clouds outside the window, his brows were gentle, "my mother only kept this one for me to give away."

Du Yue followed him to look at the falling flowers in front of the court, and fell silent when he heard the sound, and never said a word again.
