The sky was a bit dark, thunder would sound from time to time, the rain fell like a thread, the empty streets were already filled with rainwater, the sound of rustling rain was close to my ears, and the cool wind blowing was also chilling.Chu Junyi tightened his embraced arms again, and looked up at the sky in front of him.

The rain came so suddenly that they didn't have any time to react. Thanks to Gu Chengzhi's quick reaction, he pulled Chu Junyi to the side eaves as soon as he saw the thunder, otherwise he would have been ruined long ago.

But now, with the continuous rain curtain in front, the cold wall behind, and the willful cold wind beside it, I just don't know when the rain will fall...

Sighing slightly, Chu Junyi turned his gaze to the side again.

It goes without saying that Zhangde Mansion can be called the "Ancient Capital of Seven Dynasties".

But the rain in front of me is like a layer of light veil covering the entire ancient city, diluting its original simplicity and thickness, and it is like an ink painting drawn with heavy ink and color, clear but fuzzy.

This place is different from the capital city. Under that thick layer is a kind of laziness.

The gentle and spacious streets, the shops on both sides, the river passing through the city, and the stone bridge connecting the two banks, looking at the scenery in front of you through the rain curtain is like looking at flowers in the fog, and there is a sense of unreality everywhere.

"Cold?"

The sudden sound startled Chu Junyi so much that he almost jumped up, subconsciously moved two steps to the side, and the rain wetted his sleeves in an instant.

Gu Chengzhi originally wanted to ask him if he was cold, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so strong. When he pulled him back, half of his sleeves were soaked.

"Am I a tiger that can scare you so much!" Gu Chengzhi said angrily when he saw the shock on his face.

Chu Junyi swallowed, rubbed his arms and thought: You are not a tiger, you are much scarier than a tiger!

"What were you hiding just now?!" Gu Chengzhi asked with a frown.

Chu Junyi unconsciously looked away, the roof where they were sitting seemed to be isolated from the world by the sound of the surrounding rain, and Gu Chengzhi's voice became more abrupt and deep, originally he was used to this kind of voice, but Just now, he was still stimulated so that his scalp was numb, his ears were hot, and even the hairs on his body stood on end...

Gu Chengzhi didn't wait for him to answer, he stretched out his hand and pulled the drenched sleeves over. The outer clothes were all wet, and the innermost one shouldn't last long, but the rain won't stop for a while.

And Chu Junyi, who was being pulled by his sleeve, looked at him as if he was watching a ghost, trying to pull his sleeve over but couldn't pull him...

"Don't move around!" Gu Chengzhi frowned and glared at him, holding his wrist with one hand to straighten his arm, and wringing all the rainwater off his sleeve with the other hand.

Chu Junyi froze and let him manipulate him, his head was a little messy, his heartbeat was abnormal, his ears were burning hot, maybe even his face was burning red.

The sleeves were twisted into rags by Gu Chengzhi, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Junyi staring at him with wide-eyed eyes, and said with a slight toothache: "What's wrong with you?! Can you stop looking at me like this! "

Hearing what he said, Chu Junyi's expression didn't change, he just raised his head and stared at the eaves.

"..." Gu Chengzhi wiped his face and asked again: "Is it cold?"

Chu Junyi stared at the eaves and kept shaking his head.

"The devil will believe you!" Gu Chengzhi gritted his teeth and muttered, then pulled the person to his other side, saving him from accidentally stepping into the puddle again.

Chu Junyi didn't look at him at first, he kept rubbing his arm with one hand, trying to get rid of the cold hair quickly, and clenched his fist tightly with the other hand, the abnormal heartbeat made him feel very uneasy, he Still want to get back to normal soon.

The rain had no intention of stopping at all, Gu Chengzhi frowned and looked at it for a while, and then said: "Waiting like this is not an option, why not go back in the rain." Chu Junyi's physique is bound to get sick if he stays here, Going back in the rain is not much better, but at least he can be targeted with medicine when he returns to the inn.

Chu Junyi nodded, and he also felt that it would not be a problem to wait for the rain to stop here.

Seeing that he agreed, Gu Chengzhi observed again, and when the rain subsided, he reached out and took Chu Junyi into his arms, and ran all the way to the inn with ease.

Chu Junyi's head was a mess, so he let him hug him foolishly.

At Gu Chengzhi's speed, it took quite a while to arrive at the inn. He asked the shopkeeper for two buckets of water, and then dragged Chu Junyi back to the room.

After entering the room, Gu Chengzhi said directly, "Change clothes!"

Chu Junyi: "..."

He went to flip through his clothes in a bit of a breakdown, feeling so awkward that he was dying. It's not like he hasn't hugged him before, and it hasn't happened in the same bed for several months. But just now he was so stimulated that he felt uncomfortable. Plus, it directly made him feel bad.

When the store brought water, the two of them finished washing separately. After changing their clothes, Gu Chengzhi went out again. Chu Junyi didn't ask him where he was going.

After he went out, Chu Junyi breathed a sigh of relief, the feeling just now was too bad, it's great to be able to recover now...

The rain outside the window was still pattering, sitting by the window to watch the rain scene, listening to the sound of the rain falling on the eaves, the irritated thoughts slowly disappeared, and a sense of tranquility came to my heart.

Since leaving Beijing, Chu Junyi has been in a good mood. Even though he was tortured to death by the carriage, it did not affect the joy in his chest. Yes, having the opportunity to go out for a walk can also make him relax.

Leaning against the window frame with his eyes closed, the cool wind would blow his loose hair from time to time, enjoying the comfort and peace at this moment, Chu Junyi felt that he should be content.

When Gu Chengzhi entered the room again, he saw Chu Junyi leaning against the window and was about to fall asleep. He frowned and went to wake him up, and then handed him the medicine bowl in his hand.

Chu Junyi: "..."

"You were caught in the rain just now, so drink up the medicine quickly." Gu Chengzhi closed the window while speaking.

He looked at the medicine bowl in his hand with some confusion, and put it on the table to dry. When the medicine was a little cold and could be eaten, Chu Junyi gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and swallowed the medicine in one gulp.

Gu Chengzhi handed him a glass of water, and seeing him drink it up in one gulp, he refilled another glass for him.

Even after drinking the bitter soup for a long time, Chu Junyi still felt bitter, he really didn't like to drink it...

"Go to sleep, cover your sweat, don't get sick." Gu Chengzhi took the cup in his hand and told him to go to rest quickly.

Chu Junyi nodded. If he was sick, he would definitely delay his trip. When he walked to the bed, the hand that unbuttoned his clothes paused unconsciously, and then he quickly took off his coat and got under the quilt.

"Go to bed first, I'll call you for dinner." Taking a book and sitting at the table, Gu Chengzhi said while flipping through it.

"En." Chu Junyi closed his eyes and responded.

The tightly wrapped quilt made him feel very warm. It may be that the bowl of medicine just now had an effect, making him a little drowsy, and he quickly fell asleep.

Gu Chengzhi read the book for a while, then got up and walked to the bed, stretched out his hand to stroke Chu Junyi's forehead, he was relieved that he didn't have any fever.

If he is sick, he will definitely not get better so quickly. It will be troublesome whether he stays with him or travels with him when he is sick.

Gu Chengzhi sat by the bed, watched over him while reading a book, as long as he can survive tonight, he will be fine.

Kaifeng is also an ancient city with a long history, and the Nanya Academy is one of the best academies in the Jin Dynasty.

The head of the Nanya Academy, surnamed Yao, was born in the second place. Like Mr. Nie, he resigned after serving as an official for more than ten years and returned to his hometown to teach. Rong's father-in-law.

Yao Shanzhang was very enthusiastic when he saw Mr. Nie and his party, and he didn't have any airs about the prince's father-in-law. After talking with him, he found that this Yao Shanzhang also had a true temperament, and he hit it off with Mr. Nie very much.

Chu Junyi looked at Mr. Yao Shan, then at Mr. Nie, and then turned his gaze to Gu Chengzhi.

This person has a similar temperament, otherwise Mr. Nie would not value him so much, but a person with this temperament will either be polished and changed by the officialdom, or leave the officialdom just like Mr. Nie, wanting to keep his true self. It's really not easy to get along with the court, and I don't know how he will choose in the end.

This time when they arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, they lived directly in the Nanya Academy. According to Yao Shanzhang, the visitor is the guest, and there is no reason to let the guests stay in the inn.

Old Mr. Nie didn't shirk, he didn't care whether he lived in the inn or the academy, seeing that Master Yao tried his best to persuade him to stay, he took a group of disciples to stay in Nanya Academy.

The atmosphere here is much more relaxed than that in the capital, and there is not such a tense learning atmosphere. The communication with the academy before was just a competition, which made everyone's nerves a little tense, but now the atmosphere is just right, and it also makes them relax a lot.

On the first night here, I went back to rest as usual, and the next day, I stood beside Mr. Nie energetically.

But this time it is no longer a competition, but a normal exchange and learning. Mr. Nie knows how to retract. The previous competitions are just to let them know that there are people outside the sky and people outside the sky, and they should not be complacent.

The so-called endless learning means that he has been learning for a lifetime and dare not say that he can understand all the principles in the world.

Yao Shanchang looked on and nodded secretly.

After lunch, everyone was ready to go back to their room and take a nap.

Suddenly, the conversation stopped abruptly.

The people of Hoi An Academy didn't know why, so they turned their heads and saw a woman walking slowly.

The face is like a lotus, the waist is like a willow, the eyebrows are like a distant mountain, but black without drawing, and the lips are like sand, but red, wearing a blue dress, graceful and graceful, with a peerless appearance.

Chu Junyi looked at the woman in amazement. In terms of appearance, perhaps only Fifth Master Chu could compare with her.

As if she didn't see anyone around, the woman walked straight up to Gu Chengzhi, looked him over, and said slowly, "Long time no see."

The people who were ignored: "..." What's going on? !

Everyone in Hoi An Academy was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly looked at Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi: "..."
