Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Different from the smell of elegant incense that always floats in the palace, the breath in the mountains is always refreshing and cool.When the fresh air slowly permeated into the car and the crisp birdsong became more and more obvious, Suzaku knew that they had walked away from the bustle to the green hills.The bullock cart staggered along the mountain road, and the green mountain curves between the shocks came into the eyes of the two, and occasionally they could glimpse the ancient Buddhist temple hidden deep in the green mountains and clouds.

Suzaku knocked on the wall of the car to signal to stop, and then walked down.Ying also immediately got out of the car with him, walked up to Suzaku and asked with concern: "But you get dizzy after sitting in the car for a long time?"

Suzaku tidied up her clothes, took a deep breath, and drove away the stale air that had been lingering in the car.He smiled gently at Shuai Gong, who was a little nervous beside him, "Since you want to take me here to relax and enjoy the scenery, there is no reason to sit in the car all the time. If you and I hike up the mountain together, we can still enjoy the scenery. Follow the beautiful scenery along the way."

His Majesty Shuai was elated when he heard the words, and hurriedly agreed.Looking at Yingying who was smiling like a child in front of him, Suzaku was amused, and walked forward first.

The scenery in this mountain is formed naturally. Compared with the careful carving by man, it naturally has a vigorous, simple and profound beauty.Although the sun is extremely hot, walking through the shadows does not feel boring.The two walked and watched hand in hand, seeing unknown flowers always seemed to be pleasantly surprised.

Suzaku once read a book recording plants and flowers in his spare time, and he knew more about the origins of the names of flowers and plants than His Majesty Shuai.Slowly introducing to Ying, Ying also listened very seriously.

"I didn't expect you to know so much," Shuai Gong was amazed, "How can I be such a vulgar person, but I don't know anything."

"It's just that I know a few, why do you feel so emotional. There are many others that I don't know, and I pretended not to see them just now." After leaving like this, Suzaku's mood not only improved, but also made a joke. "Nothing to do on weekdays, occasionally playing with flowers and plants is also a kind of entertainment. Unfortunately, since I became the throne, I don't seem to have much time to take care of it."

"In the future, there will always be time."

The mottled shadows of the trees fell into Shuai Gong's dark eyes.When the sunlight refracted, the deep gentleness hidden inside glowed with intoxicating light.Seeing his handsome face and gentle eyes, Suzaku was slightly absent-minded.Firefly always has a special magic power that makes people believe his words involuntarily.Such reliability has never taught people to be disappointed.Hearing his voice, Suzaku felt his heart warm, and gave a soft "hmm".

Because of Suzaku's response, Yinggong smiled happily.He took Suzaku's hand, and reminded him to be careful where he stepped in a low voice.Perhaps in this uninhabited corner away from the world, Suzaku was finally able to put aside the burden that was pressing on her body, and face her heart honestly.Or maybe it was just because of today's weather and the people standing next to him were too gentle, he didn't break away from Hotaru's hand.The two walked silently and silently on the mountain path, silently savoring the hard-won tenderness.

After walking for more than half an hour, when passing by a mountain stream, Ying took out the handkerchief in her arms, soaked it and wrung it dry, and went to Suzaku to wipe his sweat.Suzaku was a little embarrassed, and dodged a little, but it made Hotaru follow more stubbornly, so he had no choice but to let him go.

"How, can you still walk? Do you want to take a rest?"

"I've already seen a corner of the mountain gate, so I walked up it in one go."

"Actually, I'm not in a hurry..." Those lotus flowers are always there and won't run away.

Seeing Yingying's disapproving expression, Suzaku knew what he was thinking. He waved his hand and stood up to look at the mountain gate.

The host of Ruishan is a reclusive eminent monk who has achieved the Tao. Many nobles and high officials love to invite him to give lectures on Buddhism.Hearing that Shuai Gong will come to Ruishan Buddhist Temple today, he has already ordered someone to sprinkle water and clean it, and he has been waiting at the mountain gate for a long time.There was the sound of two men talking in the distance, and the host stood up to greet the guests who knew he was waiting.

Two young men wearing noble clothes came from a distance, one of them must be a high-ranking handsome palace servant, but no matter how the host recalled, the other could not be remembered as a romantic figure in Beijing.It can be seen that he is dressed in blue and white light-colored hunting clothes, with a beautiful face and a slender figure.With a very clear and noble temperament around him, it is obvious that he is not a simple person.The host sighed secretly in his heart, he thought that Shuai Gong and Genji were already the best in the world, but he didn't expect such a person to exist.Let people forget the vulgarity when they see it, and don't dare to neglect it.

The presiding officer greeted each other and respectfully performed the Buddha ceremony, and greeted each other a few times.So he personally took the two of them to the small courtyard that had been prepared.Shuai Gong didn't want Suzaku to be exposed to others' eyes too much, and also disliked the noise in the temple, so he specifically asked the host to find a quiet place.If other people have such a request, they will be ridiculed for being too arrogant.But when he saw Shuai Gong and the young man beside him, the host couldn't help but rejoice that he had prepared such a clean place as instructed.It would be my own fault if I let those ignorant little novice monks disturb such a character.

The place the three of them were going to was a small courtyard above the main temple, the size of which was no more than two rooms, and the front and back were transparent.Behind it is a very wide and huge lotus pond, full of lotus leaves and lotus flowers.Elegant and pleasant, quiet and leisurely, the most comfortable.

The next people will arrange parking accommodation.The house was cleaned, and after saying goodbye to the host, no one else bothered them here.

"Come on!" Firefly excitedly took Suzaku's hand and led him to run inside.

Without even making a few turns, the two arrived at the destination of this trip.The unsurpassed beauty caught in the eyes made people slow down their breathing.Tens of thousands of hectares of lotus leaves tremble in the wind, and the city is connected with blue waves and green water.The pink lotus that can't be seen at a glance is much higher than the lotus leaves, standing gracefully and gracefully.There is also the fragrance of lotus rushing towards the face, which is a pure taste that no amount of advanced spices can imitate.

Clear water hibiscus, natural carvings.

Such a beautiful scenery should be worthy of people's abandoning the prosperity of the world of mortals and suffering so much to see it here.

A cold drink from the clear spring of the mountain stream had long been placed on the wooden porch, and Yingying made a cup and handed it over.Suzaku took it and stared at the scene in front of her infatuatedly.He has a brilliant literary talent, and at this moment, he doesn't know what kind of style to use to describe such beauty.

"No wonder you insisted on bringing me here..." Suzaku admired, and then felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that you didn't bring a pen and paper. If you can describe this scene, it will be worthwhile to come here like this."

"Don't worry, I'll take them with me," Yingying blinked at Suzaku with a mischievous expression, "Whether it's painting utensils, or piano and chess, I have someone bring them. So, Suzaku can do whatever he wants here." .”

Suzaku Yin's heart felt a little hot because of such careful preparations, and she couldn't stop the joyful smile on her face.Hotaru loved Suzaku's expression like this to him the most, which made him feel that his decisions were extremely correct.Isn't it the thing that people in love are most happy to do to make their lover feel happy and satisfied.

"Tomorrow is your birthday..."

"Please don't say such things," Hotaru finally had a reason to touch Suzaku openly, "Today's wish is that Suzaku can stay here with me. Fortunately, Suzaku did not refuse my willful request and came with me today. Here. Although the time is short and we can only stay for one day, Suzaku please enjoy this time freely and without restraint."

Let go of the responsibilities that hold you back and do what you enjoy.I have solved all the troubles.

Right now, it's just the two of us here.Any nonsense is fine, if it makes you smile, everything I do will have meaning.

In the evening, the two of them lay in the cool breeze and watched the stars, enjoying the very rare quiet atmosphere in the mountains.Just like what Yingying planned to arrange, today is to throw away all the shackles of worldly rules and have fun.

First, in the afternoon, Ying took out her painting tools, and on the same piece of paper with Suzaku, she drew a beautiful picture of He Han blooming in the setting sun.The painting styles of the two are completely different, but there is a wonderful fusion when put together.Suzaku liked it very much, and asked Ying to put the painting away, and he wanted to take it back to Qingliang Hall for safekeeping.

After enjoying the refreshing and delicious meal, His Royal Highness Ying took out the qin, Suzaku held the flute, and the two played a song together with the evening wind.Because of being busy with government affairs, Suzaku hadn't touched music theory for a long time, so it was inevitable that it would be a bit jerky at the beginning.Yingying cooperated quietly, and the tune sounded very pleasant.

Afterwards, Suzaku slowly regained its previous sense of musicality, and it was no longer bothersome and stagnant to play.The sound of the ensemble drifted out of the small courtyard and reached the ears of the Khunis who were doing evening classes below.They were bewildered by such beautiful music and recited sutras inadvertently.They all ran to the yard to look around, wanting to know who played such a beautiful piece of music.

Appreciating landscapes and flowers, composing paintings and composing music are all ordinary things.But because of the increasingly busy and messy government affairs, and the painstaking dealings with the courtiers, it became more and more difficult to find.The joy at this time is even more rare and precious.

Suzaku was originally a very elegant character, today is finally a day for him to do some of his usual favorite pastimes, and he will be extremely satisfied.At this time, he and Yingying were lying in a comfortable place to rest together, and his heart was clear.

Firefly lay beside Suzaku, and the evening wind brought bursts of lotus fragrance, and he could only smell the very light scent belonging to Suzaku in this fragrance.It was the incense sent by Hotaru. Even in the busy days, he never forgot to make this "green bamboo" for Suzaku.And Suzaku has always only used the incense that Firefly gave him.Such tacit and silent actions made Yingying's heart extremely soft.

It is this kind of tenderness and sweetness that triggers the infinite yearning in Shuai Gong's heart.The existence of this person beside him is a kind of temptation for him, and the longing mixed with the passion between lovers lures Yingying to lean towards that person involuntarily.Being self-disciplined, he never concealed his urge to get close to Suzaku.Whether it was when he was holding him firmly, or when he was playing with Suzaku's fingers silently.

The occasional verbal teasing is just the most clumsy but also the most direct temptation that he thinks of when he can't bear it anymore and doesn't know how to resolve this kind of affection.

And a long time ago, he had already shown his heart, holding everything he had in front of this person to seek a little sympathy.At this time, they escaped from the mortal world, and Ying told herself in her heart that maybe she could have something to look forward to today.

Shuai Gong is a frank person, so he did so when he thought so.

He just turned his body, and with a glance of his long arms, he hugged Suzaku into his arms.Suzaku seemed to have known Yingying's movement for a long time, but it was stiff for a while, and then relaxed its body and let itself be hugged.Burying herself in Suzaku's hair, Hotaru took a deep breath of her sweetheart's breath, calming down her slightly nervous and agitated mood.

"Suzaku..." Yingying called her sweetheart's name like a sigh, her voice trembling imperceptibly, "You have never refused my approach today, even if you have tacitly agreed with my actions before, can I think that... "Speaking of this, he was a little afraid to speak out the conjecture in his heart.

Sensing the hesitation of this brave child at this time, Suzaku felt the fiery and firm arms around his waist, closed his eyes and said, "That's true... Firefly, you know, I can never refuse you. "

Suzaku's frankness made Hotaru even more nervous, and subconsciously hugged the person in her arms tightly.Suzaku pushed him away a little, but was misunderstood as wanting to leave, in exchange for more forceful confinement.Suzaku felt a little helpless, and could only raise his head to signal that he couldn't speak like this.Yingying blinked innocently, and then slowly relaxed some strength.

"...I can't deny my love for you," Suzaku's voice was very clear and soothing in the quiet night atmosphere, and he said slowly with infinite affection, "Before I knew it, it became a very complicated one." Emotions. So much so that I can’t see other people in my eyes. Whether it’s in politics or in the harem, as long as you’re there, I can’t take my eyes off you.”

Suzaku's words made Hotaru quietly hold her breath.

"I refuse to admit that I have feelings for you other than brothers, but the more I refuse, the more I can't escape. This is so strange, I can't stop praying that Yingying will suddenly respond to me with such feelings one day Wish. But that day..." Speaking of this, Suzaku seemed to recall some memories that made him very happy, "After that day, I suddenly discovered that fate turned out to be favored by me. The person I love is not like Yuan Kong is as far away as Yuan Kong. He is right beside me, as long as I stretch out my hand, I can touch it. Just like now, Yingying's embrace makes me very attached, and I don't want to leave."

It was probably the first time that he expressed his inner thoughts so bluntly, Suzaku's tone was a little shy.But the emotions contained in it are too sincere, and the tone of the faint narrative lingers in Yingying's ears, but it is more firmly remembered by him than any sentence.

"However, as the host, I will probably never be able to give Ying the reward she expects." There is a touch of melancholy and frustration in this sentence, which is light but obvious, "Ying, I can violate the so-called Human relations, and I am not afraid of criticism from the world. But I have responsibilities and missions that I cannot refuse, and they are just like you, things that I cannot let go of, do you understand?"

Such an identity makes Suzaku unable to be self-willed. On a day like today, Yingying and Suzaku can cuddle up to each other, but Suzaku must return to its original identity in many days to come.This is the saddest thing.

"...If Suzaku ignores his duties, then it's not you."

"Eh?"

Ying smiled slightly, lowered her head and said to Suzaku: "It is this kind of Suzaku that I adore. Without this part, Suzaku is incomplete. If it is like this..." Such feelings don't matter.

Suzaku looked at Yingying's confident smile a little speechlessly, worried that he didn't understand what he meant.

"I understand what you mean, but as long as you can give me a response, all this is not a problem."

"It's not that simple..." "No, I can do it. Just like I can bring you out today, sooner or later I can let you be with me without any scruples."

"..." Suzaku didn't speak, he was convinced by the facts before him, but he still had some doubts.

"What I'm most afraid of is that Suzaku will give up before waiting." Ying gently caressed Suzaku's cheek, her eyes full of strong longing.

With a flick of a finger, the originally loose bun was completely scattered into a flowing spring.Letting go of that strict attire, Suzaku looked very soft and even charming at this time. "What I'm afraid of is that you won't be able to wait so long that all my efforts will be in vain..."

Perhaps it was tempted by Yinggong's overly delicate appearance under the moonlight at this time, the affection in the deep eyes made Suzaku unable to refuse.He even took the initiative to lift his neck, and then reached out to touch Hotaru's cheek.The two slowly approached each other, smelling each other's breath, and the words they spit out at this time were more like whispers when they were in a state of confusion and passion.

"If I can't wait for a long time, why don't I want to get close to women so far. If you can be happy in this life, that's the only thing I want, but I can't bear to let someone I don't love stand by my side..."

"Yeah, that would be great..."

This answer turned into a sigh after all, and was blown far away with the evening wind.With a longing for each other, the two depended on each other.First is the most gentle temptation, feeling the familiar temperature of each other.Then they couldn't help but open their lips, wanting to explore each other's deepest feelings.

Suzaku's lips were a little cold, but they were hot because of Hotaru's enthusiastic kiss.Hotaru pressed Suzaku's waist forcefully with her hand, as if she wanted to push him into her body.And the response from the person in his arms only made him more excited, almost searching for all the secrets that make people happy by sweeping.

Such a position of lying sideways and embracing each other is really not intimate enough, Hotaru hugged Suzaku and rolled over, pressing the person under her body.He asked with his eyes if he felt uncomfortable, Suzaku smiled at him, and put his arms around Hotaru's neck.

The lingering embrace in the summer night wind is filled with tenderness that belongs only to lovers.The response from the deeply in love made Hotaru put aside all uncertainties.As long as Suzaku is willing to stay with him, any obstacle that hinders this relationship will not be a reason to separate them.

The author has something to say: I don't know how to write kiss scenes, it's embarrassing...

Recently, Evans has been so exhausted that I can't even get dirty... I want to cry

Lianxin, Suzaku's heart, ah~~~~cough
