Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Gongsun Ce was stunned when he heard the words, looked at Bao Zheng's red eye circles, and nodded without thinking.

So, Bao Zheng stretched out his hand and slowly pulled Gongsun Ce into his arms, and slowly leaned his head on Gongsun Ce's neck. For some reason, Gongsun Ce felt a little nervous in his heart, and his heartbeat even accelerated, but Gongsun Ce When Ce felt that his neck was wet, Gongsun Ce froze.

Bao Zheng, are you crying?

The person who slowly closed his hands and hugged him tightly trembled slightly... Gongsun Ce's heart seemed to be tightened by someone, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and hugged him back as if to comfort him.

At this time, Gongsun Ce clearly realized for the first time that the current Bao Zheng is still just a fledgling boy, and he is not the famous Bao Qingtian who will sit in Kaifeng more than ten years later...

He will also be vulnerable, and he will also be at a loss.

He would be sad and want to cry, as if the person who died was his most respected teacher.

What the world sees is Bao Qingtian who solves countless cases with a ruthless face and selfless heart. Who knows that Bao Qingtian is Bao Zheng first, then Lord Bao, and finally Bao Qingtian!

It's Bao Zheng, so he will be sad, angry and helpless along the way.How much pain in my heart is unspeakable.However, he hid it well, remembering what happened to Xiaoman later... After the memory came back, he smiled lightly to himself and said it was okay... Gongsun Ce felt sore and unspeakable. Later, he stubbornly Following him into the Kaifeng Mansion, one of the reasons is that I don't want to see him like that again, thinking that someone is with him, at least he can confide in the pain in his heart, at least he can be a companion when he feels lonely...

"Bao Zheng...you have me by your side, you are not alone..." Gongsun Ce said in a low voice, his tone was very light, very light, but there was a certain determination.

Bao Zheng hugged Gongsun Ce's hand even tighter, and smiled lowly, with joy in his laughter, after laughing, Bao Zheng said in a low voice, "I know..." The phrase "I know" is very soft, With a certain tenderness.

At this time, Zhan Zhao anxiously called out, "Brother Gongsun! That's too bad! Brother Bao is gone! Brother Gongsun!"

Bao Zheng let go of his hand slowly, smiled at Gongsun Ce, stood up and shouted, "Zhan Zhao! I'm here!"

Gongsun Ce looked up at Bao Zheng who was standing up, and saw that Bao Zheng's expression was no longer depressed and bitter, so he was relieved and stood up too, looking at Zhan Zhao who rushed to them like a whirlwind, seeing Zhan Zhao anxiously He was sweating profusely, with a nervous expression on his face. When he saw Bao Zheng, he froze and said blankly, "Brother Bao? Why are you here?"

"What? I can't be here anymore?" Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, stepped forward, patted Zhan Zhao's bald head, and said with a faint smile, "I made you worry. I'm just feeling depressed. I'll have a drink with your brother Gongsun liquor."

"Ah? Is that so?" Zhan Zhao was stunned, then he smirked and covered his head, "That way I can feel relieved! I thought Brother Bao, you were—"

"Abducted by the murderer?" Gongsun Ce interjected with a smile at this time, jokingly said, "Don't worry! Just you bag big brother this big piece of black charcoal, and no one will take it if you throw it away for nothing!"

Hearing this, Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce pretending to be serious, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Zhan Zhao, from today onwards, you should follow your elder brother Gongsun closely."

"what?"

"Your big brother Gongsun is not as big as black charcoal like me. I throw it away and no one wants it, but with your appearance like big brother Gongsun, even if you lose a hair, there are people in Luzhou who are rushing to take it!"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao turned his head to stare at the dumbfounded Gongsun Ce, nodded seriously and said, "Well, Big Brother Bao is right!"

"Okay! It's so late, Zhan Zhao, go back to sleep!" Gongsun Ce said helplessly, Zhan Zhao responded with a smile, turned around and left.

After Zhan Zhao left, Gongsun Ce glared at Bao Zheng who was about to bid farewell, "You wait for me!"

"What? Tonight, Gongsun Gongzi wants to sleep with me?" Bao Zheng smiled jokingly, looking at Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce glanced at Bao Zheng, took out the cork from Academician Ying's hands and handed it to Bao Zheng, and said angrily, "Look at this! This is from Dean Ying."

Bao Zheng's face turned pale, he took it, looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "This is the red wine bottle cork of the dean's favorite daughter."

"Have you seen it?" Gongsun Ce was surprised.

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Once, I saw the dean drinking in the yard, and I took out this wine bottle, because the dean liked that wine bottle very much, so I have an impression."

Gongsun Ce tilted his head in confusion, "What does this mean?"

Bao Zheng frowned and thought, "Let's go to the academy tomorrow!"

Gongsun Ce nodded in response, and when he went to the academy tomorrow, he looked for the daughter's red wine bottle, maybe he would find out, and then remembered the Yi family, so he said, "By the way, I have some clues for the Yi family." .”

When Bao Zheng heard the words, he looked deeply at Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce was confused, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No..." Bao Zheng shook his head slowly, stared at Gongsun Ce, and asked abruptly, "How many places have you traveled today?" Without waiting for Gongsun Ce's answer, he asked in a deep voice, "You must be very tired, right?"

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and then said casually, "There are not many places..." In fact, there are many places to go, and it is not easy to find those old people. Especially for being more careful, he can almost say that every old person has gone to ask for advice. Somehow, as for the old man, he is probably a little confused because he is old. Every time he asks for advice, he has to spend a lot of time to figure it out...

Thinking about it now, it was...very hard, but at that time, for some reason, he didn't feel hard or tired.Or it was because at that time, he was depressed...

"Go to sleep!" Bao Zheng suddenly pushed Gongsun Ce towards the room.

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute! I haven't told you about the Yi tribe—"

"Even if you say it now, I can't solve the case right away!" Bao Zheng suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Gongsun Ce's words, staring, and said sternly, "The most important thing now is that you must give me a rest immediately! Sleep!"

Gongsun Ce glanced at Bao Zheng's suddenly gloomy face, blinked, and whispered, "I see. I'm going to bed. You should also go to bed earlier."

Then Bao Zheng calmed down a little and nodded.But he still stood stubbornly in front of Gongsun Ce's room, until the light in Gongsun Ce's room went out, then turned around and walked slowly to the steps and sat down.Borrowing the moonlight, Bao Zheng looked at the cork in his hand, but thought of——

Three years ago, Gongsun Ce hadn't come to the academy yet... When he was cleaning the academy, he came to Academician Ying's yard.

"Bao Zheng, don't sweep it yet, come here, have some almond cake." At that time, Academician Ying was sitting on a stone table in the yard, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and there was such a cork on the wine bottle.

"Bao Zheng thanked Academician!"

"sit down."

"Academician, that's—" At that time, he didn't notice the bottle at first, but when Academician Ying put the bottle on the table unconsciously, he saw that the subtle lines on the bottle seemed to be ……a flower?

"Oh, this is a wine bottle given by a friend." Academician Ying said, but his expression suddenly darkened.

"The flowers on this wine bottle are very special." He just said so casually at that time.But Academician Ying was stunned, with a hint of panic in his expression.

"You... saw it?" Academician Ying said hesitantly.

He didn't think much of it, just nodded casually.Academician Ying suddenly fell silent.He felt something was wrong, so he got up and said goodbye, intending to continue sweeping the floor.However, Academician Ying stopped him at that time.By the way, at that time, Academician Ying also asked him a very strange question:

"Bao Zheng, if one day you did something very sorry to your friend, what would you do?"

Under the moonlight, the cork in his hand is very clear, especially the bottom of the cork, the fine lines... just like the wine bottle.

By the way, how did he answer Academician Ying at that time?

It seems to be... "Confess to him, admit his mistakes, and make amends."
