I wish for a long time

A house in the north of the city.

A man in a plain white brocade robe hurriedly stepped into the second entrance door, the paper in his hand was a little crumpled.

"Sir! We have a clue!!"

The man in white shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door. The hand of the middle-aged man in front of the desk paused for a moment, and then continued to write.

"Nanyuan, calm down."

Nan Yuan shrank his neck, stood in front of the table, and obediently closed his mouth.

The middle-aged man rolled up the note in his hand, stuffed it into a small bamboo tube, and handed it to Nan Yuan: "Pass this to the old lady."

Nan Yuan took it, and asked with some uncertainty: "It is... Did something happen in Beijing?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were deep, and he nodded slightly: "The emperor complained about his illness, and it's been more than a month. Several princes have started to pave the way for themselves secretly, and win over the officials in the court."

Nan Yuan frowned: "Could it be..."

The middle-aged man chuckled, took a sip from the cup of tea, "The old lady has rejected the invitations of several wives, and now she dare not open the door of the house, it is really miserable."

Nan Yuan looked at the small bamboo tube in his hand, pursed his lips and remained silent.

On the cusp of this storm, how can we not be involved?

The middle-aged man put down his teacup, and raised his lips slightly: "At this time, it's time to go to a temple and nunnery to pray for His Majesty."

Nanyuan's mind lit up, and he nodded with a smile, "I think Jing'en Temple is not bad."

The middle-aged man smiled and said nothing, suddenly realized belatedly, looked up at Nanyuan: "By the way, what were you screaming just now?"

Nan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly handed over the note in his hand: "That's it, we've been looking for these days, and finally we met at Chengnan Guangxin's pawnshop."

"The shopkeeper of the pawn shop knew this. He said that on the evening of the first day of April and May, when it was about to close, a man in a strange dress came to pawn him with this thing. He pawned more than 600 taels."

Nan Yuan paused for a moment, then continued:

"Because this thing is so rare, the shopkeeper thought it was a random order or there was a case, and deliberately suppressed it for a few months before releasing it."

Nan Yuan pointed to the paper in front of the middle-aged man, "This is the death contract at that time. Look, sir, his name is here."

The middle-aged man picked it up and looked at the writing on it carefully, while thinking over what Nan Yuan said just now.

"What are the characteristics of that person?"

Nan Yuan thought for a while: "According to what the boss recalled, this person has regular facial features and delicate features, but I can't remember the details clearly..."

"However, there is one thing. This person's accent is not like that of Yuncheng, it seems to be from another place."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly: "From outside?"

This means that it is very likely that this person is no longer in Yuncheng.

He carefully looked at the handwriting on the paper, it was dark, a bit like... bedbugs?

The middle-aged man frowned, probably even a child who just learned calligraphy could write better than this...

"Mouth... ten... long??"

He handed the paper to Nanyuan, pointed to the black worm on it, and asked uncertainly, "Nanyuan, do you think these are the words?"

He thought it might be because he was old and had bad eyesight, so he might have misread it.

However, Nan Yuan read it three times and nodded with certainty: "It's just Kou Shijiu, sir, you read it right."

The calm expression of the middle-aged man suddenly cracked, and his brows raised a strange arc.

"Have you heard of the surname..."

Nan Yuan pursed his lips and shook his head.

The old man has never heard of it, how could he have heard of it?

The middle-aged man calmed down, thought for a moment, and his tone returned to calm:

"In this way, you take the token and go to the Yamen to call out the names of all the people with the character Shijiu in Yuncheng. It is best if they are after this date, especially those who are new to Guohu."

Nan Yuan nodded, put away the small bamboo tube, and left. Just two steps away, the middle-aged man asked again:

"Wait a minute, let's use the token left by Lord Zhizhou, but Nanyuan, you have to pay attention, don't bring your tail back."

"Yes."

……

Under the moonlit night, the buildings are full of flowers, the music and songs are endless, and the lights are brilliant, as bright as day.

The two figures in the room, one in front of the other, seem to overlap each other from a distance.

Ye Jiu shrank his neck in fright for a moment, his face flushed like a fire.

And Qi Shao'an in front of him seemed unable to hold on, he swayed a few times, his thin lips brushed against Ye Jiu's small nose, and he barely slipped over.

Ye Jiu was stunned again.

The soft touch did not stay, and there was a trace of wetness on the tip of the nose.

She moved her nose uncertainly, and there was indeed a hint of cold fragrance left on it.

Does this count...

The blush on Ye Jiu's cheeks boiled up and heated up extremely quickly.

So shy.

Qi Shaoan blinked, then suddenly tilted his head, a little puzzled between his brows, pursed his lips, and said:

"Brother, I have a question."

Ye Jiu blushed as if he was about to bleed, she turned her face sideways, not daring to look at her, and responded casually, "Say it."

"Brother, who is Ziqin...?"

Ye Jiu raised his head for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Her mouth was open and her jaw was about to drop.

Ziqin...

How did Qi Shaoan know this name? ?

Her mind was like fireworks, and she lost the ability to think for a short time. The only thing in her mind was, how did she know that Ziqin...

"Is that your... wife..."

Ye Jiu's eyes trembled, and he froze.

wife……

Why did she think of this word...

Ye Jiu's eyes sank, it was indescribably complicated.

Did you know something.

She looked at Qi Shaoan's hazy eyes, and said in an extremely quiet voice:

"Shao'an, do you know what you're talking about?"

Qi Shaoan moved closer, stared into her eyes, pouted, and nodded.

"know."

She staggered and couldn't support herself, and fell into Ye Jiu's arms.

The slightly cool lips pressed against her delicate neck, gently inciting:

"You kept calling her that night."

That night...

Always……

call her……

OK, she should know what's going on.

Ye Jiu tilted his head slightly, just about to speak, but didn't want to touch Qi Shaoan's lips and nose again.

Crispy and numb, warm and cool.

She trembled all over, and her voice trembled unconsciously.

"That's... someone who used to be important."

The predecessor is a noun that cannot be properly described by any words.

Some people use "I can't love you", some people use "heart-piercing", and some people use "escape from death"...

Everyone has a word in their heart.

But for Ye Jiu, that word is "very important person".

But it has a qualifier called "once".

The past is the past. There used to be someone you loved very much who also loved you very much.But you only belong to the past, please cherish the future.

But Qi Shao'an didn't react much after listening, just nestled on her neck and shoulders, breathing deeply and shallowly.

Ye Jiu waited for a while and saw no movement, only then did he realize that the little girl fell asleep just like that.

She chuckled, feeling a little helpless.

Yes, again.

Ye Jiu gently raised his hand, trying to lay her flat so that she could sleep peacefully.

However, at this moment, the little girl suddenly moved——

I saw the bare hand on the chest began to move slowly, slowly climbed onto her neck and shoulders, circled around her neck, and encircled her little by little.

The breathing in the neck pit stopped and stopped, and the cold tip of the nose touched her soft flesh, a little numb and itchy.

Ye Jiu froze, not daring to move.

There was nothing in her mind except countless exclamation marks.

She even forgot to reach out to embrace the woman who was hanging on her body suddenly.

The air was silent for a moment, only the sound of heartbeats, and the slight panting of each other's uneven breathing.

The hand holding the clothes at the nape of her neck moved up slowly, and clasped it around the nape of her neck, getting tighter and tighter.

"You like her very much, don't you?"

A muffled voice came from the neck, muffled, and seemed a bit abrupt in the quiet room.

Ye Jiu finally came back to her senses, she hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand to support Qi Shaoan's back, and said softly: "Once upon a time."

The cold touch rubbed against his neck twice, and then moved away a little.

"You said you missed her very much."

Ye Jiu's hand on her back paused: "..."

Who the hell can tell me what else was said that day! !

mmp! !

She took a deep breath: "It was also once."

It's been two years, what should be remembered, what should not be remembered, should not be remembered.

How can you see the beauty of the present if you have been obsessed with the past?

So, just once.

But this once contained too much.

Will you completely forget someone you once loved deeply.

I don't think so.

What you experience is always yours, it settles deep in your mind, it is your precious and unique memory.

However, it will slowly be weakened over time and slowly replaced by the person you love now.

Ye Jiu raised his hand and touched the head of the girl in his arms, it was fluffy and slippery.

"Shao'an..."

"Ah."

"Why are you asking this..."

There was a doubt in Ye Jiu's heart, and he couldn't help but wonder why she suddenly mentioned Ziqin, a name he had never met before, and someone who had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

Qi Shaoan...why care about this?

The words of Song Chuxun just now flashed through her mind: "You are not a single arrow."

And that sound, wife.

Ye Jiu's hands trembled slightly, and a wave of anticipation suddenly surged in her heart.

At this time, Qi Shao'an was holding the clothes behind Ye Jiu's back with his hands, eyes closed, brows furrowed, and his white teeth biting his lips tightly.

The body trembled slightly.

The redness and swelling of her fingertips rubbed against the fabric brought a slight pain, which gave her a moment of clarity.

She tried her best to restrain the fluctuations in her heart, she was afraid that if she relaxed, she would blurt out.

why?

For what.

It's just a self-deception.

if you do not have……

if you don't like her...

Qi Shao'an buried her head in her collar, and the sound of rubbing against the cloth when she moved covered up the sound of sniffing lightly.

What rushed into my mind was the faint sandalwood fragrance of this person as always.

It makes people inexplicably stable and relaxed.

"I……"

Qi Shao'an buried her eyes on Ye Jiu's clothes, rubbed them quietly twice, and then left her gently.

Ye Jiu lowered his head to look at the little girl who was staggering upright, and the hand holding her fell to her waist in an instant, supporting her steadily.

Qi Shao'an lowered his eyes, then suddenly bent his eyebrows, a big smile appeared on his reddish cheeks:

"I am happy that my brother has someone he likes."

Ye Jiu frowned when she heard this, when did she say that she has someone she likes.

I'm afraid it's not the ex.

"Do you know why I called you brother?"

Qi Shaoan's eyes were shining brightly, but there was still a faint smile on his face.

Ye Jiu froze for a moment, then shook his head.

I remember when I asked her to call me brother, this girl kicked me back, and I kept calling him brother and brother like this.

I'm used to it myself, so I didn't ask further.

Qi Shaoan lowered his head, his eyes fell on Ye Jiu's cuff, and he spoke slowly:

"I call second brother, that is elder brother."

"Besides father, brother and mother, you are the best one to me..."

Ye Jiu heard that the light in his eyes dimmed.

Sure enough... is he still a brother?

Qi Shaoan felt a little dizzy, she stretched out her hand to support her temple, and rubbed it vigorously.

She shook her head secretly, then raised her eyes to look at Ye Jiu.

The people in front of her were blurred, and she couldn't find which one was real.

"But... I have a little thought..."

Ye Jiu used all his strength to support her, but he didn't understand the meaning of her words.

She wanted to lean over to listen carefully, but unexpectedly, the hem of her clothes was pulled away, and she accidentally swept the teacup beside the bed.

Qi Shaoan opened his lips, and murmured softly:

"But I have a crush on you."

"Snapped--"

The author has something to say: May I ask everyone, are you happy! ! !

Starting from this chapter, Shaoan's true character will be revealed slowly. Her previous aloofness was mostly world-weary, but now she has new hope.

Also, do you believe me when I say tomorrow?
