The guards silently followed behind and did not dare to move rashly. Among them, Liu Jin, the leader, mustered up the courage and took a step forward. He wanted to speak to persuade his master to return to the mansion, but he swallowed the words again.

He has been with Jiang Zhanwei for almost ten years, and he knows exactly how cold Jiang Zhanwei's character is. It is impossible for the word trapped by love to appear on him. Even if it does, it is someone else who is trapped.In the early years, the old emperor had not yet established a heir, and a bunch of princes did everything they could to fight for the throne. Jiang Zhanwei suffered from leg problems when he was young, and his mother and concubine died early. All the other princes were taken away, and the old emperor was emptied, turning the throne into something within easy reach.

Jiang Zhanwei's reputation for ruthlessness was further promoted because of this. He did not recognize kinship, was not close to human feelings, and was not close to women.But these shortcomings did not prevent women from approaching, and even turned into advantages in the eyes of some people-it is said that once such a man is tempted, he will remain affectionate.

Princess Hua'an, the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, was attracted by his appearance and temperament, and followed him for a whole year, but she didn't even say a few words to him, let alone get to know and get along with him, and didn't even know him. What gift to give on your birthday.Princess Hua'an has that kind of bold and courageous personality, and she waited at the gate of Zhanwang's mansion, and asked Jiang Zhanwei directly what he wanted, but only got a cold sentence: I don't want anything.

Others thought he was incomprehensible and disrespectful to the princess, but Liu Jin knew that he was just telling the truth.

Jiang Zhanwei really doesn't need anything from outsiders.

He has reached this point on his own, he has everything he wants, but he is still frighteningly self-disciplined and diligent.Self-discipline does not mean everything, but it can explain the problem to a large extent, that is, as long as he wants, he can get it with his own hands, and what he doesn't have is what he doesn't want.

No desire is just.

This feeling will bring a lot of pressure to those around him, whether they are subordinates, relatives, friends or suitors, the always confident Princess Hua'an was hit like never before, and finally gave up sadly.But now, Jiang Zhanwei's steel body seems to be wet by rain, a little bit of cloth is rusted, and finally falls weightlessly.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the night, followed by thunder, rumbling.

The summer rain came as soon as it was said, and a heavy rain seemed to fall again, and a drop of water fell on the tip of the nose in a blink of an eye.Jiang Zhanwei finally moved, closed his eyes, and then turned the horse's head while holding the hand that had been deeply imprinted by the reins, and turned back.

When walking back to the city gate, the rain officially kicked off, and the few passers-by on the street were made to walk in a hurry, and even galloped to avoid the rain. In contrast, Jiang Zhanwei's horse speed can almost be described as slow , at least much slower than the speed of the horse when he left the mansion to look for Xia Xi. ——He obviously still had the last hope of finding Xia Xi, trying to see Xia Xi's figure in the streets and alleys.

But they didn't know that Xia Xi never left the palace, let alone went out of the city to Zhenjue Temple on Yanshan Mountain.Whether it was the farewell he proposed before, or the miscellaneous notes on the page that read Yanshan on the table, they were all just to force Jiang Zhanwei to recognize his heart.

"……I know."

In the backyard of Zhanwang Mansion, there is a hibiscus tree that is more than four meters high, and its branches are also extremely thick and luxuriant. Xia Xi stood under the tree, and his voice was almost whispered, "But I am this kind of person. I want the other party to be wholehearted. He is determined and willing to do anything for me, he doesn’t care about anything except me, even he has to watch him jealous, sad, toss and turn, to feel the warmth.”

In the night, Xia Xi's slender figure had an indescribably sharp feeling. It was raining all the time, but he miraculously didn't get a drop of water on his body. He asked the huge hibiscus tree in front of him, "Am I abnormal?"

The leaves rustled, as if answering Xia Xi's question, and Xia Xi shook his head as if he had heard the answer from the leaves, and said, "It's okay, you don't need to comfort me. Anyway, that's how I am, if I'm right, No one can stop me; if I make a mistake, I will make a mistake; if he doesn't understand," Xia Xi raised his hand to catch a drop of water falling from the leaves, "...I will teach him to understand."

Jiang Zhanwei was already wet, and so were the guards behind him.These guards were all pulled out by Jiang Zhanwei from the barracks with one hand. I don’t know how many times the swords and swords have passed by. shower.So Liu Jin summoned up his courage again, stepped forward and said, "My lord, you'd better go back early..."

Just halfway through speaking, Jiang Zhanwei's expression suddenly changed, and then he accelerated his horse and galloped forward to the left.Liu Jin froze for a moment, and quickly followed Jiang Zhanwei's gaze to the front left, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the dim rain.

However, Jiang Zhanwei saw the familiar slender figure at the end of the long street from a distance with his inhuman eyesight, his heart trembled, and he galloped without any hesitation.

That could be Xia Xi.That must be Xia Xi.That must be Xia Xi.

Jiang Zhanwei rushed to the other party in the blink of an eye, and called out the other party's name at the same time. The other party was obviously taken aback by the horse running in front of him suddenly, and looked at him with wide eyes open in a daze. Pupils are like dewdrops shining in the night.

It really was Xia Xi.The tense string in Jiang Zhanwei's heart finally loosened, and he jumped off the horse and reached out to grab Xia Xi's hand, but Xia Xi who came back to his senses dodged it.Jiang Zhanwei pursed his lips tightly, that iceberg-like face was still expressionless, but for some reason, it seemed that something turbulent was about to overflow from his deep black pupils, and the next moment, he simply took Xia Xi into his eyes. arms.

Jiang Zhanwei originally wanted to question why Xia Xi left the palace and where Xia Xi had gone, but when he took him into his arms, he couldn't say anything.There is a kind of hot feeling in my heart, but also distant and familiar and unknown emotion, hugging each other seems to be holding a long-term dream.

It's been so long that he himself can't remember when it happened. He only remembers that he dreamed of being able to hold such a person in his arms, keep him by his side, and never let go.

The two bodies were close to each other, and the heartbeat gently touched Jiang Zhanwei's chest through the thin wet clothes, making Jiang Zhanwei hold his breath.It is said that men are careless and careless, but when it comes to someone they care about, men are sometimes more careful than anyone else, and they can even tell if a strand of the other's hair is getting shorter.Jiang Zhanwei is now in such a wonderful world, and he can easily see that Xia Xi's exposed neck and back of his hands are extremely pale, but his face is slightly red, and this redness is different from the redness that appeared when he was drunk last time. It was a fever, and there was an invisible scratch mark on his forehead, and a scratch on his sleeve.

Did I accidentally fall down or did I meet some bad guy on the road?An unknown fire ignited in Jiang Zhanwei's heart, but facing Xia Xi, he couldn't say another serious word, and only said in a deep voice, "Come back with me."

He directly used the affirmative sentence, which sounded very strong, but in fact he was just afraid of hearing Xia Xi's rejection.However, Xia Xi still refused, "I've been bothering you for too long, so I can't..."

Jiang Zhanwei interrupted Xia Xi to repeat again, "Follow me back."

Xia Xi shook his head, "No need, I..."

This time, Jiang Zhanwei clasped his shoulders and waist very tightly, like chains made of steel.

Xia Xi opened his eyes slightly, the round pupils looked innocent and immature, which made Jiang Zhanwei's heart soften.But the strength in Jiang Zhanwei's hands only increased, and Xia Xi couldn't even move, let alone break free.

So he quietly let Jiang Zhanwei restrain him, opened his eyes like a kitten and looked up at him Anshun, looking obedient as if he could let others do whatever he wanted.

The words "do whatever you want" moved Jiang Zhanwei's heart, and a certain indescribable thought was like a spark that started a prairie fire in an instant.Jiang Zhanwei tried his best to suppress those thoughts and desires, "I will carry you back."

It was another affirmative sentence that sounded very strong. Seeing that Xia Xi didn't reply, Jiang Zhanwei continued: "If you don't want to recite it, I will take you back."

His Royal Highness Zhan Wang immediately picked him up, but soon he realized that this was not a good idea.He is used to roughness and toughness, especially in the years when he led troops to fight, the noise of killing corpses everywhere, the sword in his hand and the armor on his body were both stronger than gold, but now he is holding such a skin that is as delicate as A teenager who would hurt if he touched it, and whose muscles and bones were as fragile as if it would be broken if he tried hard, for the first time in his life, he realized what it was like to hold it in his hand and be afraid of falling.What's more, the other party's clear and shallow breath is sprinkled on the chest, which can be said to be full of warm and fragrant nephrite, and there is a faint but pleasant scent of hibiscus on his body, and the thoughts and desires that were suppressed just now are rekindled.

His Royal Highness Zhan Wang, who was unable to get off the tiger, felt a little regretful, but he was even more unwilling to let him go, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.The person in Biansheng's arms struggled uncomfortably when he saw the guards coming over, "You'd better let me go..."

"Do not talk."

The double attack of voice and body made Jiang Zhanwei almost unable to resist, and immediately stopped Xia Xi.Realizing that his tone was too cold, he added an explanation: "The wind is too strong, and it is easy to catch cold."

The guards who followed were full of question marks.It's the hottest summer right now, what's the cold?

But in Jiang Zhanwei's eyes, Xia Xi was suffering from the cold. Jiang Zhanwei carried him to bed all the way, walking very steadily with every step, and even asked the housekeeper to find a doctor.The doctor looked at it carefully for a long time, and came to the conclusion that he was suffering from cold and fever. What else is there? Qi and blood deficiency, yin and geyang. .

Facing the bitter medicine, Xia Xi didn't show any dissatisfaction or resistance, nor did he show any fear of suffering, and drank the medicine in one gulp.But the more Anshun he is, the more distressed he is, because only those who are used to hardships are not afraid of hardships.Jiang Zhanwei frowned slightly, and raised his eyes to see the grapes in the fruit plate. It was a special product that was brought in as a tribute from the frontier yesterday. It was huge in size and extremely sweet in taste. Rinse the bitterness in your mouth.

The sweet and juicy flesh spread between the teeth, Xia Xi narrowed his eyes slightly in satisfaction, and said to Jiang Zhanwei with curled eyelashes, "Thank you, my lord."

This thank you made Jiang Zhanwei peel a large bowl of grapes.By the time he realized it, he had already peeled the grapes in the fruit plate.

And Xia Xi was born to be served by others. He didn't think it was wrong for a prince with power to peel grapes for him. Very attractive.

Jiang Zhanwei looked at Xia Xi's lips, and slowly lowered his eyes.

He has maintained the forbearance of his youth so far, and he does not easily reveal any emotions, because he is afraid that once he reveals something, he will be caught and cannot stand up.But he had already revealed many emotions in front of Xia Xi, which could not be suppressed and could hardly be concealed.

It's because he didn't take care of his heart, maybe he walked alone for too long, and he was always accompanied by ice and snow, knives and swords. It was rare that there was someone who could touch his heart, and he gave birth to a child as easily as a child. Greedy, don't want to let go.But the other party is different from him. The other party is ordered by talents to come to him. The other party has his own wishes, his own life, and will leave sooner or later.

Xia Xi will indeed leave, more precisely, leave this world.

It is said that grass and trees are ruthless, Xia Xi is not a real human being, he even has abnormal moral values, his rationality is always greater than his sensibility, now that he has recovered his memory and knows that this is the last one to cross the world, he will not think too much about it Nostalgia.It's like dreaming, no matter how good the world in the dream is, you won't indulge in the empty dream and give up the real reality.

But some paranoid people, when they can't get what they want in reality, when they can't get what they want even after giving everything, when the pain is so crazy that they can't continue, they can only pin everything on dreams, and even prefer to fall into nothingness forever.

Jiang Zhanwei, who didn't know what Xia Xi was thinking, was thinking about grapes.

Because of the scarcity of production, there are only five baskets of grapes that come from the territory as tribute every year. Now the government is in the hands of Jiang Zhanwei, and the tribute will be sent to him as soon as possible. But he doesn't like this kind of sweet and greasy fruit, so he just One basket was kept, and since the boy in front of him liked it, let someone send the rest of the baskets over.

It was already night when Jiang Zhanwei brought Xia Xi back. As time passed, it was midnight, so Jiang Zhanwei stood up and prepared to go back to his room.

But not long after he stepped out of the house, he stopped.The attendants behind him saw their lord standing there frowning, hesitating for a while as if he had something bothering him, and then turned around and went back.

The door creaked and was pushed open, Xia Xi looked at Jiang Zhanwei who had gone and returned, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, do you have anything else to do?"

Obviously a very normal sentence, but Jiang Zhanwei turned down his face unhappily as if he had been poked by something, and asked back: "Why, are you going to run out again?"

Xia Xi shook his head, "...I'm going to sleep."

"Well," Jiang Zhanwei's expression softened slightly, "Go to sleep quickly."

After saying this, he walked to the desk opposite Xia Xi's bed, raised his hand and pulled out a history book from the shelf, and sat there to read it.

His sitting posture was always upright as if he was in a meeting, his hands were slender and strong with well-defined joints, one was placed on the side of the table, the other was placed on the page of the book, every time he read half a page, he raised his head to look at Xia Xi.Xia Xi didn't quite understand Jiang Zhanwei's actions, but inexplicably felt that Jiang Zhanwei looked at him as if he was guarding a disobedient puppy that would run around.
