Do you still want it, son?

Under the eaves, Xiao Wu raised his head and watched a clear drop of water fall from the ticking tile edge, and a splash of water splashed in the stagnant water on the ground.He paced back and forth for two steps, seeing that there was still no movement at the end of the alley, his brows finally gathered slowly.

Something was wrong, if he only sent a jug of wine, he should have returned by now.

A Yuan changed into clean and fresh clothes and stood by the door frame to support him. He looked up curiously at the raindrops in the sky, his eyes were wide open.

"Father!" He suddenly thought of Ji Xiao, and hurriedly called out.

The courtyard was empty, only Qingyun stood not far away and looked at A Yuan.

A Yuan waited for two breaths of time, looked left and right, hesitantly lowered his voice, and slowly brought a trace of uncertainty, "Father...?"

Ji Xiao still didn't show up, and A Yuan's eyes were stained with panic.

Walking out from the next room this spring, she held a small pie in her hand, wrapped in oiled paper with a hint of heat, it was freshly out of the pan.She also had some doubts in her heart, vaguely worried about what happened to Ji Xiao.It's just that at this moment, A Yuan must be put first and take care of his emotions.

"Young master, have a bite of pie." Jinchun smiled and handed the pie in front of A Yuan, but he brushed it away with his wrinkled white face.

The usually gluttonous little white meat worm has no appetite at the moment, he firmly grasped the door frame with one hand, stepped back half a step, and asked loudly, "My father, my father,"

As soon as Ji Xiao left, the people and things he was familiar with in this yard instantly lost the sense of security that A Yuan needed.

There is nothing I can do this spring, I can only put away the pie in my hand first, and then reach out to hug A Yuan.But he didn't want A Yuan to hide back, accidentally squatting on the ground with his buttocks.The flesh on his round face was wrinkled in one place, and he cried out with a wow.

Ji Xiao was holding two bowls of tofu nao in his hand, and he could faintly hear A Yuan's cry when he was still at the entrance of the alley.He quickly quickened his pace, just in time to meet Xiao Wu's figure walking out from inside.

"Master," he looked up to see Ji Xiao, obviously heaved a sigh of relief, but then hesitantly asked with some doubts, "You...how did you come back from here?"

Ji Xiao passed by his side, walking forward non-stop, "The door of Deng Bo's house leads to the road, I feel a little pale in my mouth, I want to eat something appetizing, so I went outside and bought tofu nao, ah Yuan crying?"

Xiao Wu took a step beside Ji Xiao, and responded, "I just found out that you haven't come back yet, so I started crying, and I came out to look for you."

Ji Xiao glanced at Xiao Wu's mud-spattered black boots very quickly from the corner of his eye, without opening his mouth, he just stepped across the threshold quickly and called out, "Ah Yuan,"

A Yuan huddled behind the door crying and twitching, with snot and tears all over his face.As soon as he heard Ji Xiao's voice, he jumped up immediately, half crawled and half ran across the threshold, and made Ji Xiao's heart ache with his aggrieved cry.

"Dad, dad is bad!"

Standing in the corridor, he looked at Ji Xiao who hurriedly threw the umbrella aside and ran up to him with shame on his face, raised his head and spread his short fat arms, hugged Ji Xiao's thigh and refused to let go.

Ji Xiao silently picked up A Yuan, and let him wipe his tears and nose in his arms.

Jinchun, who was standing aside, wanted to step forward to take the two bowls of tofu nao in his hand, but Ji Xiao coldly avoided him, "No need."

He carried A Yuan into the house alone, and closed the door tightly.

In this small yard, there are strangers standing everywhere at the moment.Before yesterday, Ji Xiao never felt that there was anything wrong with it, and even slowly got used to it.However, when all this is now being debunked as the beginning of a lie, this is the only room left in the entire courtyard, which makes Ji Xiao feel a little familiar.

A Yuan was tired from crying at first, but when he got into Ji Xiao's arms, he slowly rested.He held Ji Xiao's skirt tightly with his small hands, looked up at Ji Xiao with his small face, and whispered for comfort, "Father, A Yuan, I'm afraid."

Ji Xiao hugged A Yuan tightly, raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve, and comforted A Yuan with a trembling voice, "Don't be afraid, Dad is here, and A Yuan is with me, so don't be afraid," said these words intermittently , Ji Xiao also gradually lost the panic from before.

In this situation where everything is a cloud of fog, there is only one thing that Ji Xiao is clear about, that is, he is A Yuan's only support, and A Yuan is his only support.

Only the two of them are completely honest with each other, Ji Xiao doesn't believe anything else at this time.

On the side of the avenue, Chen Jiangchuan stood in the rain wearing a coir raincoat, watching the guard hurriedly took the letter in his hand and turned back inside.

He doesn't quite know what kind of role the Miss Lu family he is working for now is, but he can roughly judge that Lu Wanyin is unusual.After all, when Lu Wanyin's name was mentioned, the impatient guard reluctantly accepted the letter.

Chen Jiangchuan stepped aside and didn't leave immediately. When he saw someone coming out of the door, he quickly looked closely, but it was Shen Huai who he didn't want to see.

Shen Huai was surrounded by seven or eight people, two servants, and four or five officials.The guard who just entered also chased after him in embarrassment, opened his mouth hesitantly, and handed over the letter.

Chen Jiangchuan's heart beat wildly, and he was beyond shocked.He and the guards made it clear that the letter was for His Royal Highness Ping Wang, and the little guard would never dare to hand over such a letter to others casually.

He couldn't help taking two steps closer, and stretched his ears to hear the movement over there.

Standing in the rain, Shen Huai's clothes would inevitably get a little wet. His figure was tall and straight, and everyone under the rain curtain was inevitably a little bit embarrassed, but he was the only one who didn't rush and didn't show any embarrassment.

The guard who stopped Shen Huai explained in a low voice where the letter came from.

Shen Huai didn't pick it up, but said in a deep voice, "What should be brought and what should not be brought, don't let me teach you in the future."

This kind of Shen Huai was completely unfamiliar to Chen Jiangchuan.The Shen Huai he saw most of the time was the Shen Huai who was with Ji Xiao.He usually had a smile on his face, and his demeanor also had a certain amount of advance and retreat, proper and polite, completely different from what he was at this moment, his whole body was full of arrogance, and his lowered eyes revealed a sense of aloofness.

The letter fell to the ground from the fingertips of the little guard, and was trampled into the muddy water with the sound of his confession.

When Shen Huai returned home, the rain that had been raining for most of the day had stopped, and a drop of water occasionally fell on the corrugated wall, and the sound of falling into the pond was clear and crisp.

Ji Xiao hugged A Yuan who had already fallen asleep and sat on the porch reading a book. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and looked at Shen Huai. After a while, he smiled at him as usual.

Shen Huai's rush outside the morning was mostly dissipated by this smile. He walked slowly to Ji Xiao's side, put one hand on Ji Xiao's neck, and rubbed his fingertips on his delicate neck twice, "How can you let him be in this place?" How tired are you sleeping in your arms? Let Jinchun hold him, or put him on the bed."

"No," Ji Xiao shook his head, "A Yuan just fell asleep, I'm afraid he'll wake up if he moves, if you have something to do, go and do it, I want to read a book for a while."

The book in his hand was clenched tightly, and the fingertips covered by the book turned white. If Shen Huai looked at it for a second, he might not be able to hold back the calm expression on his face, and become flustered.

Fortunately, Shen Huai's eyes were focused on Ji Xiao's weak neck, recalling how he held someone down on the bed and kissed again and again last night, but he didn't turn his eyes to carefully watch the change in Ji Xiao's expression at the moment.

"Okay," Shen Huai compromised, but he still bent his knees and squatted down, then lifted Ji Xiao's chin with his hand, leaned over and licked his lips.When he saw Ji Xiao's red eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and his heart was about to twitch, when he found out from the corner of his eyes that Ji Xiao was holding the most popular storybook about wits and beauties.

It's full of joys and sorrows, love and hatred between men and women, it's not the first time Ji Xiao secretly shed tears when he watched it.

Shen Huai was both helpless and distressed, he wiped the corners of Ji Xiao's eyes lightly with his thumb, and said with a smile, "Ah Xiao is like A Yuan, crying whenever he says, childish."

Ji Xiao moved his head away from Shen Huai's fingertips, lowered his head and said nothing.

He always likes to be shy, Shen Huai just thought it was because he was blushing and shy again, his heart lightened up, he straightened up, touched Ji Xiao's cheek lightly, got up and went into the room.

Only then did Ji Xiao heave a long sigh of relief.He looked up at the sky where the rain had stopped. The dark clouds did not decrease, but became more black and heavy, and it was unknown when it would rain.

Shen Huai got up early today, and ran back and forth to many places. He is not tired at the moment, but he is a little tired.

Entering the house, the smell of Ji Xiao lingers inside, and his neatly arranged decorations.Looking at it, Shen Huai felt relieved all over his body, and felt even more comfortable and sweet. He walked to the bedside and lay down on his back, his eyes were full of satisfaction.

Even if there are another 100 years of such days, he will not think too many.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, a piece of emerald green rushed into Shen Huai's eyes.Shen Huai watched Ji Xiao put away this thing yesterday, but he didn't think why it would reappear on the quilt at this moment.

The light in the room was darker, Shen Huai picked up the jade pendant and shook it in his hand.The thing is a good thing, but it would be stingy to give it from a queen.Shen Huai snorted softly, thinking that the next time we meet, he will definitely ask for some more good things for A Yuan.

His fingertips passed over the jade pendant, touched the mottled lines, back and forth inch by inch, just as he was about to fall asleep, Shen Huai's caressing movement stopped.He held the jade pendant in front of his eyes, carefully looked at the lines on it, and suddenly there was a thunder in his heart, and he secretly said it was not good.

This jade pendant is kept by Ji Xiao every day, has he seen the phoenix pattern on it?

Shen Huai's drowsiness subsided without a trace, he jumped up from the bed, ran to the door in two steps, looked anxiously at Ji Xiao who was still maintaining the posture just now, and said in a slightly hesitant tone, "A Xiao , you forgot to take this jade pendant?"

Ji Xiao looked up at the place where only a trace of emerald green was exposed between Shen Huai's fingers, and gave a noncommittal grace.

His reaction was neither good nor bad, neither enough to dispel the uneasiness in Shen Huai's heart, nor enough to lift his worries.

"This jade pendant has special decorations, A Xiao, have you seen it?" Shen Huai asked tentatively, but he held the jade pendant tightly in his hands, not intending to show Ji Xiao another look.
