All his life

"Well, my mother used to hum to me."

"Your mother?"

"Well, I heard from my mother that she grew up by the sea since she was a child. There is an endless ocean there, and it will turn orange and red every time the day and night are approaching. It is very beautiful."

"At that time she lived very happily, every day..."

"Then do you want to go? The sea?"

"I think, I really want to see what the sea looks like. My mother always said that I am very happy there. She always goes to pick up shells with her little friends every day, and hangs them in a string around her neck. Looks great on the wrist or ankle."

"Also said that if she came back there in the future, she would make one for me."

"But there is no future. I never had the chance to receive the shell bracelet my mother promised me."

"Then will your mother often tell you about the sea?"

"Well, and this song."

"Then have you thought about who to go with?"

"Yes, but my mother died, so I can't think of anyone who can accompany me."

"Then how about I go with you? Wherever you want to go? And the sea?"

"Okay!"

Gu Jingyan, who was flipping through the book, started asking and answering questions with Duan Ce, answering any questions he heard.I didn't take the time to think about who I was talking to at all, I just felt that someone asked me, and then I had to answer.

Duan Ce looked at Gu Jingyan so fascinated, he talked more than usual, and even answered his own questions.The slender and white fingers pinched the yellowed corner of the page, and Duan Ce couldn't help raising his right hand to pinch his chin, and then a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth when he thought of something.

"Do you like me?"

"Like it."

"How much do you like it?"

"How much do you like...how much...like...like?!"

Gu Jingyan, who answered casually, was studying a damaged place that he had just seen, so he blurted out his answer without thinking much about the question.

Then a pair of good-looking eyes blinked, and he seemed to have said something outrageous by accident?Turning his head to look at Duan Ce who did not know to appear behind him, he even took in that smile and those eyes full of smiles.

"I like you too."

Just watching Gu Jingyan turn his head like this, and then his small face was less than half a finger away from him, and hearing the phrase he likes Duan Ce said that he is very happy now, not even so happy after winning the battle!

With a "chirp", Duan Ce took such a good time, lowered his head and quickly planted a kiss on Gu Jingyan's right cheek, then squeezed Gu Jingyan who hadn't reacted yet, and kissed Wei Qi, The lips that have attracted Duan Ce for a long time.

This day, gentle afternoon, gentle people, gentle kisses.

"Remember, I will accompany you to the sea, but don't tell others that no one can accompany you."

Her lips were numb, her tongue hurt from being sucked, and there was still a faint scent of tea in her mouth. Gu Jingyan froze in place for a moment, not knowing what to say

This is the first time in a long time that Duan Ce gets close to him during the day.

"Okay, it's time, let's go to eat, otherwise there will be less time to go out."

After the kiss, Duan Ce led the people who were still in a daze back to Qiuyan Academy with an unspeakable good mood.

In the past, Duan Ce took all the concubines to eat in the cafeteria, but now, not long after Gu Jingyan was injured, Concubine Li and Aunt Ying stayed in their own pavilions.

As for the others, Duan Ce was no longer in the mood to deal with it, so he asked Duan Lei to pass the meal to the Qiuyan Academy.

"Where do you want to go to see?"

Hearing Gu Jingyan, the movement of his hands stopped, the kiss just now was totally unexpected to him.Gu Jingyan thought that Duan Ce would hate him very much, after all, which man would be willing to marry a man as his wife!

But ever since he came here, Duan Ce didn't reject himself as much as he imagined, on the contrary, he treated him better than anyone else.

Just when Gu Jingyan was about to fall into the vortex of Duan Ce's concern, what his father said to him before leaving always jumped out to warn him at the right time.

He was just a spy sent by Shang Liguo. Since they all wanted to make him a spy, Duan Ce would definitely not fail to realize that if he treated him well, it was just to calm him down so that he could relax his vigilance!

But today's incident was completely beyond Gu Jingyan's guess, so he could only guard against Duan Ce with strangeness.

Gu Jingyan was very worried that Duan Ce would find out the information sent by Shang Li State, thus provoking disputes between the two countries. At that time, not only the Shang Li State Council would kill Gu Jingyan, but Duan Ce around him would not He also allowed a spy to stay by his side, and he was really about to face death at that time.

"No."

Gu Jingyan could only act as usual on the surface and answer vaguely, but in his heart he was thinking quickly about how to dispel Duan Ce's doubts about him.

"Then I'll take you for a stroll. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, and there will be a flower festival at that time. I'll take you to see it again. You haven't been there, have you?"

Duan Ce did not point out Gu Jingyan's absent-mindedness, but instead mentioned the future itinerary.

"No, didn't the lord say that there are many things to be busy when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching? If that's the case, don't worry about me."
