A tall figure stopped in front of the Chen Mansion's gate, and the guard looked at the cold eyes of the bookish and beautiful face, hesitated and opened the gate.

Shumo raised his foot to step over the threshold, the hem of his pale white clothes fluttered slightly, although the jadeite pendant on his waist was of good quality, but the carving was a little rough, which did not match the fine lines embroidered on the corner of the clothes.The breeze was blowing the tender green branches and leaves, a ray of sunlight reflected on the book-ink white face, there was a slight scar between the delicate brows, the cheeks were abnormally pale, and the rosiness between the lips also faded a bit.

Shumo walked slowly, turned around and looked at the luxurious furnishings in the mansion, as if he had never stepped into Chen's mansion.He stepped into the promenade and sighed slightly when he saw the delicate carvings on the red pillars.

The current Chen Mansion is far from the humble house that was hard to withstand the wind and cold back then, and the more luxurious it is, the more empty and desolate it seems. Shu Mo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He still remembered that he and Jing Cheng hugged each other in the gazebo to keep warm. Shi Jingcheng was just an unappreciated bastard in the Chen family, without any ambitions, taking care of his sick mother every day, waiting for him on the street.

But now Jing Cheng has changed a lot, perhaps because he is in a high position and is forced by the situation in the court, his heart is extremely cold, and he doesn't even care about the people around him.And Shumo also set foot on the position of patriarch for the one he loves, but his heart towards Jing Cheng is the same as before.

Shumo lowered his head slightly, and the broken hair on his forehead slid down slightly, covering the pain in his eyes. If Jing Cheng's mother hadn't passed away, would Jing Cheng have been with him all the time as he imagined? beside him.But everything can't go back, Shumo watched Jing Cheng seriously hurt his heart again and again, still unable to let go of the feelings in his heart and leave Jing Cheng.

He loves Jing Cheng dearly, and is willing to give everything for Jing Cheng, even if it is his life.

Shumo slightly raised his sleeves, his slender white knuckles stroked the cold door, he slowly put down his hand, Jing Cheng didn't like him stepping into the study, why should he provoke Jing Cheng's disgust.

Shumo turned around and walked away gradually, his thin back was extremely lonely, he knew that Jing Cheng hated him stepping into the Chen Mansion, if he was as Jing Cheng expected, maybe he would never see the person he was thinking of again .

Shumo looked at the young Qing'er, whose eyebrows resembled Jing Cheng's, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Jing Cheng could recall their past and turn around to see his figure, but Jing Cheng walked further and further away, even he couldn't help but feel that he was in a hurry. He couldn't keep up with Jing Cheng's footsteps.

"After Mr. Chen returns home in the morning, tell him that I will wait for him in the hall." Shumo instructed the maid standing beside him, and walked slowly into the huge room.

Shu Mo leaned over and sat at the table, the maid stepped forward and poured him a cup of hot tea, and the faint fragrance wafted in the room.

Shu Mo stretched out his hand to pick up the warm teacup, his eyes looked out of the window and he was a little absent-minded, his clear eyes were stained with a layer of pain.

A thin figure stood at the end of the alley, with a large coarse linen cloak draped over him. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the clothes fluttered with the wind. Jing Cheng couldn't help shivering. He stopped walking, his eyes staring into the distance.

Jing Cheng saw a light blue figure from afar, with joy on his face, he rushed over in two steps.

"Jing Cheng, Tianhan, why are you still waiting for me outside? What if you get sick from the cold?" Shumo held Jing Cheng's cold fingertips and frowned slightly. He took off his coat and put it on Jing Cheng's body , held Jing Cheng's hands in his arms and tried his best to keep warm.

"It's not warm enough to go there, I might as well wait for you outside." Jing Cheng curled up in Shumo's arms, with a faint smile on his face.

"Where did you go two days ago?" Jing Cheng looked up at Shumo's beautiful face, he waited for several hours but never got Shumo's figure, and mistakenly thought that the Lin family had banned Shumo.

"I have something to do temporarily, and I couldn't come back for a while, has Jing Cheng been waiting for me?" Shumo's eyes were apologetic, he should have sent someone to inform Jing Cheng long ago, but he didn't expect Jing Cheng to wait for two days in vain . "I'm sorry, I promise you, I will never break my promise in the future."

"It's okay, just get busy if you have something to do, don't worry about me." Jing Cheng looked at the deep affection in Shu Mo's eyes, and smiled slightly.

Jing Cheng stepped forward and pushed open the door. The room was extremely small and simple, and even the gap between the door panels felt a little chilly, no different from a firewood house.

Jing Cheng walked to the table and wanted to pour a cup of hot tea for Shumo, but found that the water in the teapot was completely cold, so he turned and walked to the door, "Shumo, please sit down first, the water is cold, I will go and make it for you Boil a pot."

There was a trace of sadness in Shumo's eyes, and he hugged Jing Cheng's waist with all his might, "Give me a little more time, and when I become the head of the Lin family, I will never let you suffer like this again."

Jing Cheng patted Shumo on the shoulder, "It's okay, I'm doing well now, we can see each other every day, I'm satisfied." The successor to the position of Patriarch is definitely not an ordinary person, and Jing Cheng doesn't want Shumo to Mo has paid a lot for him to fight for the superior position.

"You have lost a lot of weight in recent days. You must take a good rest when you go back. Don't suffer all night. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it will take a long time to accumulate. If you are tired and sick now, take a rest. It won't be worth it for a few days." Jing Cheng leaned on Shumo's shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "Even if you can't step up to the position of patriarch, it's good to be a young master in the Lin family." He couldn't bear to look at Shumo like this Hard work, Shumo doesn't seem like he doesn't get his father's attention at all. As the young master of the Lin family, Shumo lives a carefree life every day, so he should be content.

"Jing Cheng has to believe that I can do it." Shumo held Jing Cheng's fingertips and firmly said that if he did not gain the power of the Lin family, he would not be able to protect the people he cared about.

"Okay." Jing Cheng couldn't bear to hit Shumo and nodded.

"It would be nice for Jing Cheng to stand by my side that day." Shumo looked at Jing Cheng's fair cheeks, slowly approached and whispered in his ear.

Jing Cheng lowered his head slightly, if Shumo could not ascend to the position of Patriarch, he would also always be by Shumo's side.

"Mr. Lin." The maid looked at Shumo holding the teacup for a long time, and opened her mouth to remind.

Shumo slowly recovered his expression, his face was filled with a touch of bitterness. After years of hard work, he finally stepped into the position of Patriarch, but Jing Cheng was no longer by his side.Maybe Jing Cheng's ambition is high and he doesn't like the little Lin family at all, but he is already standing in front of the palace, Shumo doesn't know what else Jing Cheng wants.

Shumo lowered his head slightly and took a sip of the tea, but there was a hint of bitterness in his mouth with the faint scent of tea.

The door was pushed open softly, Jing Cheng looked at the figure sitting at the table, the slight panic in his heart gradually faded, and a trace of anger ignited in his brows and eyes.He thought that Shumo was extremely sad when he learned that he was going to get married, and he would never step into Chen's mansion again, but he didn't expect that he still saw Shumo waiting for him in the mansion.

"Jing Cheng, you're back, it's a little late today, did you encounter something in court?" Shu Mo didn't seem to see the angry look on Jing Cheng's face, got up and walked to him, with a gentle smile on his face meaning.

"Why did you come to see me?" Jing Cheng looked at Shu Mo coldly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

Shumo opened his thin lips slightly, wanting to say some words of concern, but was pressed in his throat by Jing Cheng's cold words, he lowered his head slightly to hide the pain in his heart.

"Didn't I tell you not to come to me if you have nothing to do? Could it be that Patriarch Lin is so idle and would like to stay and sit idle in my house every day." Jing Cheng said loudly, with a sudden burst of anger in his heart.

"Since there is nothing wrong with Patriarch Lin, let's go back to the mansion to deal with the affairs, and I will not accompany you." Jing Cheng turned his back to Shumo, he had already ordered his servants not to let Shumo enter the mansion, but he could see Shumo every time he went to court. Figure, could it be that his words have no effect?

"Jing Cheng," do you hate me so much? Shumo looked at Jing Cheng's back sadly. If Jing Cheng responded to him coldly, what would he do? Shumo didn't dare to ask what was in his heart.

"What's the matter?" Jing Cheng turned around and looked at Shumo's face. He was worried that Shumo came to his house to discuss important matters in the court, but every time Shumo said some useless words, he didn't have any patience to listen. .

"I heard that you felt a little unwell yesterday, so I sent for a doctor, but there's nothing serious about it." Shumo stepped forward to feel for Jing Cheng's pulse, but he coldly avoided him.

"How do you know this?" Jing Cheng frowned, how could Shu Mo know everything that happened to him in time.

Jing Cheng's face turned cold in an instant, he firmly grasped the sleeve of his sleeve, and threw it away heavily, "I didn't expect that the Lin family is as proficient in shady tricks like a dark house, if the Lin family master is so worried about me, why bother me in the past?" help me."

"Jing Cheng, you misunderstood me. I'm not spying on you." His face was full of bitterness, he opened his mouth to try his best to explain something, but was interrupted by Jing Cheng.

"Patriarch Lin wants to say that you don't worry about me. I'm fine. I don't need to worry about you." Jing Cheng said heavily. He hated everything about himself being exposed to others' eyes, and Shumo violated his taboo one after another. He wished he could I don't see the ink side of the book all day long.

Shumo lowered his head slightly, and leaned heavily against the table. I am afraid that Jing Cheng will never want to see him again, but Jing Cheng has always hated him, and when did he miss him again.Shumo doesn't seem to remember when their relationship has intensified. "Since Patriarch Lin wants to see me so much, I can only volunteer to go to the frontier." Jing Cheng calmed down, he didn't believe that Shumo could chase him if he stayed in the frontier, but he didn't want to. If he stayed away from the court, he might not have the chance to be promoted in the future.

"No, I promise you that you will never step into the mansion again." Shumo said with great difficulty, he did not expect Jing Cheng to use this method to force him, did they really have no chance.

"Patriarch Lin promises a thousand dollars, and he will never go back on this matter." Jing Cheng said in a deep voice, with superb calligraphy, ink and martial arts skills, those useless servants couldn't stop him at all.

Shumo bit his lower lip hard, and nodded slowly, maybe in the future he can only look at Qing'er's face and miss Jing Cheng desperately.

It's time for him to let go, Jing Cheng's heart is getting higher and higher, and he will never come back to him again, but he has been with Jing Cheng for many years, and he can't let go.

"Come and send Patriarch Lin away." Jing Cheng glanced at the maid beside him.

Shumo looked at Jing Cheng's back and turned to leave. Back then, he was reluctant to let Jing Cheng walk away for several days. Jing Cheng turned around and hugged him before embarking on the road to rush for the exam, but now all this will never happen again.
