I bent the devil

It didn't disturb the people who were reading seriously, Song Qingyi didn't hold Gu Jiu's hand again after coming out of the bookstore.Strictly speaking, when walking out of the alley of the city lord's mansion, Song Qingyi let go of Gu Jiu's hand when there were gradually people, and went from walking side by side calmly to half a step behind Gu Jiu, in a protective way. attitude.

Appropriately showing intimacy in front of people without causing Gu Jiu to draw malicious speculation because of his being too close.

Compassion and love have always had two meanings.

The former is putting your own feelings first.The latter is about putting the other side first.

It's just that after coming out of the bookstore, Gu Jiu noticed that Song Qingyi seemed to be a little bit further away from him than before?

This distance made Gu Baba puzzled at first, but when he looked at Song Qingyi and met his slightly averted eyes, he noticed something like a spiritual well-being, and then raised his eyebrows with a hint of teasing, and his amber eyes showed " Hey~''s little mischievousness.Leaning forward with a smirk, he looked at Song Qingyi like a big golden retriever dog who was forced to the foot of the wall but didn't fight back and didn't open his mouth.

But it was a small herbivorous animal that drove him to the corner of the wall.As long as I plan it casually, I can remove the small things in front of me.

"...Why are you so far away from me?" Gu Baba raised her eyebrows, and said "Hey~hehehe..." from the bottom of her heart.Because he was sure that the person in front of him would not hurt him, he would not say a single word, and would even keep giving in, so he carried a kind of complacency and confidence of a villain.

It's also very interesting.

Song Qingyi lowered her eyelashes slightly, as if she wanted to avoid Gu Jiu, and suddenly approached like a jumping bean, and calmly stepped back half a step before confirming that the distance between the two of them was not so ambiguous for others to see, Only then slowly opened his mouth. "I'm only half a step away from you."

"But it feels farther than before." Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows.A rogue looking like a rogue after meeting a chaste little girl.

"..." The chaste city lord Song cast a glance at the young man who was a head shorter than him, and then turned his eyes to look elsewhere. He was as calm and introverted as usual, and only Gu Jiu who was standing in front of him could detect it. Seeing his vague doubts and... similar uneasiness.

After two breaths of silence, City Lord Song Da spoke in a low voice. "...You are very different from before."

very different?Gu Jiu looked at Song Qingyi and tilted his head slightly in doubt.What's different?But then he suddenly realized something, as if he suddenly understood something.Then he pursed his lips and smiled wickedly.

The so-called difference is because of his attitude towards him, right?

It seems that what I blurted out in the bookstore surprised the people in front of me a little. ... He had already grown into a calm and introverted leader, but he was shocked by his own words.

It has to be said that this made Gu Jiu feel a kind of excitement and pride in his heart, which is similar to conquering, to obtain a unique and eye-catching treasure in this world that no one else can obtain in his entire life.

It has never been so clear for a moment that the person in front of him belongs to him from the beginning to the end.

There are many things that I didn't notice when I didn't get enlightened, but once I saw it clearly and then I went back and thought about it carefully, I found a lot of things that I didn't find before.Obviously the person in front of him was the one who tried to seduce him first, but after he understood what he wanted and turned around to respond, he backed away as if he was shocked.

Seems... not sure if this is a joke, or...

This look of not knowing what to do in front of him but pretending to be calm, for some reason, gave Gu Jiu a kind of tenderness but wanted to bully him.I want to hug him and light him, but on the other hand I want to tease him. I always look calm in front of others, and a calm person shows a different side because of himself.

People are like this, hoping to use various means to repeatedly confirm in love that they are "different" and "special" that are clearly distinguished from others for the other party.

So is Gu Jiu.He even thinks it's a kind of...'fun'?

But when he realized that although Song Qingyi in front of him still put on a calm posture, but because he was so close that he could feel his body that was gradually tightening under his robe, he felt pity and compassion in his heart. Distressed and smiled at him. "...I'm not a fool."

The drooping eyelashes of Song Qingyi were slightly stiff, and even a slight tremor seemed to be still in the air. After a while, he slowly lifted the drooping eyelashes and looked at Gu Jiu in front of him expressionlessly. Yu's eyes quietly stared at the young man in front of him who was still young, as if the years had stopped on him.In the eyes of outsiders, he is still calm and introverted, but only Gu Jiu can clearly see his tight jawline because of his close distance.

After staring at him quietly for two seconds, Gu Jiu took the lead to look away with a smile.Looking at the bustling street, he smiled lightly and said, "Although I'm not smart, I'm not too stupid.... If not..." After a pause, Gu Baba looked back at Song Qingyi, with a bit of resentment and anger in. "...I kicked you away earlier."

He's talking about those intimate kisses and... manners.

City Lord Song was still in a daze.In Gu Baba's eyes, it was as if he hadn't received his words because of the bad signal.

But in fact, those words have lost even the last lingering sound in the air.

Gu Jiu suppressed a smile and looked at Song Qingyi at this moment, and after admiring it for a while, he turned sideways first, ready to let him take a tour of Huaicheng eight years later. "Hey? Is that shop selling mutton and rice noodles still there? If it's still there..."

As soon as he turned sideways, his elbow was pulled out. Gu Jiu was startled and then turned to look at the person behind him.

Song Qingyi blinked his eyelashes slowly, then raised his eyes to look at Gu Jiu, and spoke in a low voice. "...Let's go back."

go back?where to go

——What should I do, I miss you so much.

Gu Baba instantly connected to the brainwaves of City Lord Song, and spoke with dead fish eyes expressionless behind her speechless. "...Go back, eat rice noodles!" Listen carefully, and you can hear the faint gnashing of teeth.

City Lord Song?City Lord Song lowered his eyes once again, as disappointed as a large golden retriever.

"..." The silent Gu Baba: San Cong

Gu Baba, who turned around angrily, naturally didn't see the smile of the person behind him fading away from the 'disappointed' face, his always quiet eyes shone with excitement and ecstasy, and he, who was already extremely outstanding, was even more charming at this moment.

In the end, I still didn’t go to the beef and sheep rice noodle shop, because when I walked to the shop, I saw that the shop hadn’t opened yet. After inquiring, I found out that it had been closed for several days. I heard that the shop owner went outside Huaicheng some time ago. When the village bought the raw materials for making rice noodles, they accidentally contracted a cold, and they still haven't recovered yet.

"It seems that I haven't had any good food these days~" Some diners sighed and shook their heads slightly when they left with their familiar friends. They didn't get their wish and got a bite of the delicious food they wanted to eat. It can be said that they are the biggest foodies' sorry'.

"Hi! Let's go eat other delicious food." The friend said indifferently, and dragged the friend to other places for food.

Gu Jiu looked at them not far behind, and had a feeling of "I actually saw foodies in the world of martial arts?" ! 'The singular state of mind.

It's also fun.

"I didn't open the door. What other delicious food are you going to eat?" One moment he was still surprised to see a foodie, but the next second he turned his head to look at Song Qingyi beside him, and looked at the people around him with a foodie face , I didn't realize that there was no obvious difference between my expression and the two I saw just now.

This appearance naturally fell into the eyes of City Lord Song Dacheng, and he spoke after thinking about it. "This season, it's not bad to eat fish."

"Okay." Gu Baba, who is not picky at all as long as there is delicious food, waved his hand and asked City Lord Song to lead the way.

There is a river with a width of about two meters in the south of Huaicheng City. The water is running water. It is connected to the moat outside Huaicheng City. There are weeping willows and lawns in the inner city river. Every time you go to about a stick of incense, you will see bluestones on the river. Repaired curved stone arch bridge.It is convenient for the people living in the south of the city.

There are boats in the inner city of Hanoi from time to time, but they are not all for fishing.After all, there are naturally not as many fish in the inner city river as there are in the outer river, and these flat boats are more like carriages.

Sometimes people who work in the city choose to rent a carriage if they don't want to walk, but because there are rivers in the south of the city, some roads are relatively narrow. If the carriage travels on it, it will be more congested, not much faster than walking.

Since then, flat boats have become a means of transportation instead of horse-drawn carriages.Even some merchants will charter boats, and it has become the norm to directly discuss business with sellers and buyers on board.

In summer, there will be arty literati and scholars meeting on the small boat, and the price is cheaper than in the tea shop, but they can chat for an afternoon.Looking at the scenery outside the boat while laughing and chatting, I also have a sense of detachment wandering outside the world.

And because of this, there are also wine and food sold on the boat.The price is cheap, although it is not a rare thing, but because it is fish and shrimp freshly salvaged from the river, it has a taste in it.

After all, eating these things is expensive at first.

And the fish and shrimp in this season are much fatter than in other seasons. Choose palm-sized crucian carp, scrape the scales and remove the gills, boil them in the clear spring water that has been prepared long ago, add simple coarse salt and clean wild Coriander, in a short while is a simple farm crucian carp soup.The meat has a hint of sweetness, and it is delicious without any fishy smell.

What you eat is delicious.

It would be even better if there were river prawns that were salvaged by the way. No matter how big they are, they are almost as long as a finger-knuckle. Naturally, the water quality at this time is unmatched in Gu Jiu’s era. After washing, remove the heads of the prawns. , Shrimp legs and the like, after mixing with rice wine, minced green onion and ginger, and a little bit of hot sauce, take another clean sea bowl and cover it, just put it on the table, open it after a while, and eat it like this.

Shrimp meat has a chewy texture, and it still feels slightly crunchy when you bite into it.The rice wine is mild and neutralizes the coldness of the prawns. In addition, although the onion and ginger chili sauce is common, it adds a few layers of richness to the taste after being mixed like this.It's just that it is raw food after all, so it is still not suitable to eat more.

However, these river prawns are not easy to salvage in the first place, and they will die soon after leaving the water, and the meat quality will become poor, so even if you are greedy and want to eat more, there is no way.

But people are always like this, what you can't get easily is often what you want the most.

It also makes the price of Drunken River Shrimp one of the more expensive common people's meals in Nancheng.

But fortunately, Gu Jiu and Song Qingyi don't like raw food very much, and it's late autumn now, avoiding sunlight, but it will still be colder than other places due to the water vapor in the small boat because it is close to the river surface.So it doesn't matter if you don't eat this river prawn.At this time, you should eat warm food.

Song Qingyi still remembered Gu Jiu's taste.Strong taste, addicted to spicy, so when taking a small boat, I also looked for the same type of small boat.After paying special attention to whether the owner of the boat had these seasonings, he and Gu Jiu boarded the boat.

Gu Jiu walked in front, so naturally he didn't notice this, and he also didn't see the owner of the small boat excitedly rubbing his callused hands on his clothes after seeing who was in his boat. In his eyes, the boat moved away from the dock more smoothly.

After Song Qingyi ordered the boatman to make spicy fish, stone fish fillets and a crucian carp soup, he returned to the cabin.The small boat was not big, and Song Qingyi was a little taller than ordinary people. The moment he stooped in, Gu Jiu felt that the cabin, which he thought was just right, suddenly became narrow and crowded.

Fortunately, after Song Qingyi sat down, he felt better again.

There was a low table in the cabin, and if four people were inside, it would be extremely inconvenient to even move, so it was just right that there were only Song Qingyi and Gu Jiu.Gu Jiu sat facing the boat curtain, and Song Qingyi naturally sat on his left side after entering, elbows next to each other.

Because the space is small, both of them are sitting cross-legged, with thick blankets under their bodies, which is comfortable but warm, but the situation under the table is the same as that of the elbows, with knees touching knees.

Song Qingyi was alright, but Gu Jiu straightened his legs within a few minutes, and he couldn't sit still.

Stretching his legs, slightly supporting his hands behind him and looking at Song Qingyi who was beside him, thinking that almost all the dishes he ordered just now were heavy, he couldn't help asking, "Can you eat spicy food?"

Song Qingyi, who was pouring tea, slightly opened his eyelids, and glanced at Gu Jiu beside him. "My taste is similar to yours."

This is true, even Song Qingyi can eat spicy food better than Gu Jiu.

But that was eight years ago after all.Following Xiaoqing in the City Lord's Mansion during this time, Gu Jiu knew very well that Song Qingyi's taste has been bland over the years, that's why he asked just now, and it is the same now. "But now you taste..."

The following words were interrupted by Song Qingyi's slight smile. It has to be said that Song Qingyi at this age has just entered the best age for a man. In addition, he is calm and introverted, low-key and luxurious that he has honed over the years, which makes him only slightly Showing off your face will make people feel thrilled.

Even if the temples are slightly gray, it only makes his smile and demeanor more mellow and intoxicating, without the slightest haggard and downcast.

He was originally the focus of everyone, not to mention in such a narrow space, because of this smile, Gu Jiu seemed to be suffocated by the aura that belonged to Song Qingyi in the air, and was slightly fascinated by it.

Song Qingyi withdrew her smile under Gu Jiu's stunning eyes, and always looked with calm and fearless eyes no matter where she looked, but at this moment, she took the initiative to look away from Gu Jiu's gaze.After half a sound, he whispered.

"...Don't look at me like that."

Gu temporarily couldn't help laughing.He originally thought that he was the only one who was fascinated by the other party, but at the next moment Song Qingyi would tell himself clearly: he was too.

This kind of person who likes, also likes the beauty of oneself and the rapid beating heartbeat, all make this moment extraordinarily warm and intoxicating.

It seems that there is no need for any extra words, just smiling and staring at each other, you can be as sweet as ever.

Before Gu Jiu wanted to lean over to kiss Song Qingyi, the boat curtain was lifted from the outside by the boatman.I thought that all the dishes had been caught long ago, and the dishes were processed only when the guests came, so it didn't take much effort.What's more, the person sitting in his cabin today is the city lord of Huaicheng, which makes the boatman want to show his hand even more quickly.

The originally cold cabin instantly became warmer because of the fragrance of the food. Gu Jiu felt his index finger move just by smelling the spicy aroma.After serving the dishes and finally serving the hot wine, the boatman backed out with a smile on his face.

Although he was very excited because City Lord Song made his boat, but also because of this, he hoped to give the city owner who is always busy with Huaicheng a good rest environment.Hey!From now on, he is also the one who has personally seen City Lord Song!

After humming a little tune and rubbing his hands vigorously, the boatman picked up the long pole again, allowing the boat to shuttle smoothly and deftly in the inner city river in the south of the city again, because the face engraved with years was full of anticipation. Positivity and joy in life.

Putting the teacup aside, Song Qingyi poured a small glass of wine for himself and Gu Jiu. The slightly steamy clear wine was poured out of the not-so-luxury and delicate wine pot, and entered the small wine glass to become a clear wine. It was wet, but there was a puddle of clear water-like jade dew with a slight mist on the face.

The not so strong aroma of wine slowly spreads with the mist, and mixes with the aroma of food in the air, turning into a kind of warmth that is particularly full of the flavor of the year.What made Gu temporarily unable to hold back was the corners of his mouth raised.

Seeing Song Qingyi fill the wine glass and slightly push it in front of him, he looked up at Song Qingyi with bright eyes.

Although the light in the cabin is not particularly bright, it is enough to see people. In addition, it is daytime and there is enough sunlight, so no candles are lit in the cabin.But this kind of inexplicable ambiguity in the dark makes it easier for feelings and certain emotions to breed.

Song Qingyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and held up the wine glass in front of him. Compared with the color of the wine glass, his fingers were more jade-like, slender and powerful, with well-defined joints.After lightly bumping against Gu Jiu's face, he spoke in a low voice. "This glass of wine." Slowly opened his eyes, looked at Gu Jiu, "To us."

Respect us.

I don't know why, but these few words made Gu Jiu's eyes a little hot. After covering up the tears in his eyes with the movement of holding up the wine glass, he looked at Song Qingyi again and smiled heartily on purpose. "...Respect us."

After looking at each other, they drank it with a smile.

No more cold than other wines, this wine enters the throat with a shallow temperature, and it slides all the way down in an instant to warm the internal organs. When Gu Jiu put down the glass, he accidentally caught sight of Song Qingyi's slightly red ear tips , couldn't help raising his eyebrows and looked at Song Qingyi in disbelief.

'A few days ago' he also saw Song Qingyi's drinking capacity at the martial arts conference.

Xu Shi understood the meaning of Gu Jiu's raised eyebrows, Song Qingyi didn't hide it, just raised a chopsticks and picked up a piece of white and delicate fish fillet for Gu Jiu into his bowl, and said lightly, "...this is the fish that I have been eating for eight years. First drink."

Gu Jiu was slightly startled, and the moment he understood it, he suddenly felt distressed.I couldn't help laughing, "... You said that, you don't mean to make me feel bad, right?" It was just a joke, I didn't expect Song Qingyi to answer, and I didn't believe that Song Qingyi would answer as proud as Song Qingyi.

--"Ok."

Gu Jiu was stunned, looking at Song Qingyi, as if he couldn't believe that what he just heard came from his mouth.Watching Song Qingyi lightly put the chopsticks in his hand on the table again after pinching the piece of fish for himself, his eyes were still slightly lowered, as if deliberately covering them with long and straight eyelashes, so as not to let Gu Chu look into his eyes. ... It's heartbreaking to see him.

But what he said, he clearly put his heart in front of Gu Jiu, without any reservations.

"In the past eight years, I haven't drank alcohol, and I've been almost a vegetarian. My basic necessities are simple. Tell me." Song Qingyi raised his eyes to look at Gu Jiu, with a calm expression and no waves in his eyes. "Why."

Gu Jiu's words were stuck in his throat for a while, and he couldn't make a sound.But Song Qingyi didn't mean to ask Gu Jiu to answer, he just paused and spoke calmly and gently.

"It's for you."

Song Qingyi narrowed his eyes and chuckled with a hint of self-mockery. "I thought, so that if one day... you come back to know the meaning of this in my lifetime, you will definitely feel guilty, and it will be better for me. If... it is when I am not around." Song Qingyi once again He looked up at Gu Jiu.

"You will remember me forever."

"I'm here to make you feel sorry for me. In this way You won't forget me easily. "

If I can't wait for you in my whole life, then at least I will leave an indelible mark in your heart, so that you will always remember me and always... love me dearly.

Gu Jiu stared at Song Qingyi in a daze, tears could no longer hold back from falling from his eyes, but when they fell to the lapel of his clothes, Song Qingyi's outstretched hand caught them and held them in his palm.

"This is... if I can't wait for you,... my revenge on you." Song Qingyi looked at Gu Jiu, and slowly reached out to wipe away the tears on his face.Gentle with deep, more unspeakable affection.

Gu Jiu gritted his teeth, his cheeks twitched, and he could feel the excitement he was trying to suppress.But after suppressing for a moment, he gave up with a smile, leaned forward to Song Qingyi's side, grabbed his skirt and pulled him down, and whispered his promise before kissing him.

"I promise, I will not leave. If I am forced to leave, even if I climb! I will climb back."

When Song Qingyi was pulled by Gu Jiu's skirt, he almost meekly bent down with Gu Jiu's strength, and after hearing his assurance, he kissed him one step closer.

Intense, unlike any previous rough kiss.
