My lord, I will be brought to justice!

Dance pavilions and pavilions, enjoy the moon in the attic.Looking around, Lingyang Street is brightly lit and bustling.Chu Tiankuo tugged on Mu Aichen's sleeve and walked through the crowd.Looking sideways, the lantern illuminated his face, and his innocent smile was like a child discovering something novel.To explore, to try, just like Chu Tiankuo, slowly entered my heart and became an irreplaceable part.

"Xiao Mumu, do you think this rabbit looks good?" Chu Tiankuo was attracted by the toys in the booth and stopped in his tracks.All kinds of lanterns are dazzling and unique in shape, which makes people dizzying.Chu Tiankuo picked out a rabbit lamp, and he had to admire the ancient handicraft.Bamboo strips are used as the skeleton support, and wooden wheels are used under the feet, which are polished smooth and can move freely.Although it is made of paper, it gives people a fluffy feeling.Light up the wick, transparent and bright. "Ha! Little rabbit. Xiaomumu, do you like it?"

Mu Aichen looked at the rabbit that Chu Tiankuo was playing with, without any disturbance, and shook his head.

Chu Tiankuo frowned, flipped the rabbit lamp in his hand back and forth, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the rabbit was alive and extremely cute.How can there be a reason not to like it? "Xiao Mumu, you don't even like rabbits so cute, so what do you like?"

Facing Chu Tiankuo's question, Mu Aichen didn't answer immediately.His eyes stayed on Chu Tiankuo's face all the time, his expression was full of love. "I like you." With Ah Kuo in front of him, how could he allow other things in his heart.Compared with Chu Tiankuo, everything looks bleak.The beautiful, the ugly, the pitiful, the annoying...all of them are returned to the dust and scattered.

It's not that I don't see, it's not that I don't look at it, because you are here, I have no time to pay attention.

In the brightly lit night, Chu Tiankuo's face turned red.The red light from the lantern covered up his shyness, but couldn't cover up his beating heart. "Bang bang bang" his heart beat faster, this feeling... Chu Tiankuo couldn't describe it. "Is this the feeling of heartbeat?" He clutched his chest, not knowing where to put his eyes.

Mu Aichen's voice was not loud, but people nearby could hear it clearly.The merchant who bought the lantern thought that something was wrong with his ears. He rubbed his eyes, slowly approached his face, looked at the two with wide eyes, and muttered to himself: "These are two young masters, you are right!"

In the country of Jingshui, Longyang is good.But they are often hidden in the dark and dare not tell easily.The more powerful a person is, the more he hides his secrets, the love between a man and a man seems to be different from ordinary people in the eyes of everyone.The statement of the majority will always be accepted, no matter what the reasons are, and who will listen.

For those who have broken their sleeves, there is no dispute.After all, this matter will be cast aside, scolded, and treated as a monster.In Tianlan Pavilion, Mu Aichen is the owner of all the power, even if the servants in his mansion are disgusted with his behavior, they dare not speak up.Of course, it's not all scolding, it's just that there are very few forward-thinking people.

The peddler looked at the two in front of him, they were handsome and extraordinary.One gaze is full of fiery enthusiasm, and the other bows his head full of shyness.No matter how stupid people are, they can see that the relationship between the two is unusual.The peddler snatched the lantern from Chu Tiankuo's hand, and said with a particularly arrogant attitude: "Don't touch the lantern if you don't buy it, so as not to dirty my lantern." He picked up a piece of cloth and wiped it pretendingly.

Seeing the merchant's attitude, Chu Tiankuo suddenly became angry with no name, "Why, you are afraid that I won't be able to afford it. It's just a lantern. If there's anything special about it, you won't even be allowed to touch it."

The vendor said rather disgustedly: "It's not that you are not allowed to touch it, it's just that you don't let people with broken sleeves touch it. It is inevitable that the lantern will leave a dirty atmosphere." The vendor deliberately amplified the volume, and passers-by gathered to watch.Regardless of right and wrong, when they heard the word Duanxiu, they pointed at the two of them.

As soon as these words came out, Chu Tiankuo immediately understood what he meant.Controversy and pointing voices in the crowd rang in his ears, "This is the rejection of homosexuality!" He never thought that Jingshui Country would even have the idea of ​​​​rejecting Duanxiu, and he hadn't seen it before.He even thought that liking masculinity was very popular, but now he finally understood.

Think about it carefully, how much is the same-sex relationship acceptable in modern society.As a straight man, Chu Tiankuo would not accept it, but now... Chu Tiankuo was furious. They didn't do anything wrong, so why were the voices of accusation attacking them.

"What do you know?" Chu Tiankuo waved his fist and was about to hit the vendor.Before touching it, the fist was tightly covered by a pair of strong hands.Chu Tiankuo turned his head to look back, and met Mu Aichen's expressionless face, but his eyes were mixed with different emotions from before.I can't tell if I'm angry or disappointed...

Mu Aichen lowered his fist slowly, "Don't hurt your hand." Before he finished speaking, Mu Aichen turned around and drew his sword horizontally.The scabbard was half faded, shining sharply in the moonlight.The sword directly touched the merchant's skin, resting on his neck, oozing traces of blood.The vendor didn't expect Mu Aichen to do this, and his face turned pale with fright.Weakly stretched out his hand to touch the blade, hesitated, and kept begging for mercy, "Young hero, I have eyes and don't know Taishan, and said something offensive. Please forgive me, young hero."

"It's not my business for others to judge right and wrong!" Mu Aichen's hand holding the sword tightened a little bit, but he didn't let go because of the peddler's begging for mercy.There was murderous intent in his eyes, if Mu Aichen's eyes were ice-cold before, no one could get close.At this time, his eyes were like knives, trying to pierce the heart of others.All the spectators froze in place, and suddenly fell silent.No one dared to step forward to intercede, and no one dared to step forward to ask for help.

"Wait!" Chu Tiankuo saw Mu Aichen swinging the sword in his hand, trying to cut across the merchant's neck.Although his words were rude, he was not guilty of death.What's more, as a public servant of the people, how could Chu Tiankuo watch him kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Chu Tiankuo rushed forward and grabbed Mu Aichen's wrist, "Xiao Mumu, what's wrong with you? Stop now." The Mu Aichen in front of him is different from the usual him, no matter in terms of his eyes, temperament, or style of doing things. It seems that they are not alone.He was an indifferent angel before, but now he is like a bloodthirsty demon.

For a moment, Mu Aichen didn't even notice the murderous intent emerging from deep inside Mu Aichen's heart.He not only wanted to kill the merchant in front of him, but also wanted to kill all the people present. "Kang Dang——" The sword in Mu Aichen's hand fell to the ground, and he was frightened by the thoughts in his heart.But a voice told him that cruelty and bloodthirsty is the real self, and one day you will know yourself again.

"Xiao Mumu" Chu Tiankuo whispered a few times.The merchants saw the opportunity and fled together with the spectators.In an instant, the surroundings of the market became somewhat chaotic.

"Now they have offended the big shot." Some voices sounded in the distance, still unfinished in the scene just now.

"Why, does this person have some background?"

"It's a big story." The speaker seemed to be contemptuous of the inquirer's ignorance. "Mu Aichen, the owner of the Tianlan Pavilion, doesn't even know him? The important ministers around the current emperor, the prime minister of the current court, have to give him a little face, and act according to his face."

"He...he is the owner of the Tianlan Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the owner of the Tianlan Pavilion is as good as Long Yang." "Oh!" The person next to him immediately covered his mouth, "You can keep your voice down, We can't afford to offend."

"Ah Kuo, just now...did I scare you?" Mu Aichen's eyes returned to the previous tenderness.Seeing this, Chu Tiankuo breathed a sigh of relief. "That's not right, you just seemed to be a different person."

"I... I mean if. If I really looked like that just now, would you despise me?" Mu Aichen had a somewhat tentative tone, feeling very uncertain.He noticed that his memory was getting clearer and clearer. His previous identity was definitely not simple, maybe it was what he was just now.

Chu Tiankuo let out a "puchi" laugh, "I must despise you very much." Chu Tiankuo just thought it was funny, Xiao Mumu would actually ask such a question.Although he said disgust, it was just a joke. "Let's go, let's go for a stroll in front, don't affect your mood."

He does not mean that.Mu Aichen didn't hear the joke, and felt sad alone.

"Oh! Just kidding! Look at your face, it's turned into a bitter melon." Chu Tiankuo said jokingly. "Xiao Mumu has such an elm bump, she can't even tell a joke." She didn't feel relieved until she saw Mu Aichen's bitter face relaxed.

The two walked side by side, with hundreds of lanterns swimming in the river ahead.Putting up lanterns to pray and praying with lanterns.Chu Tiankuo had heard of the river in front of him, and it was named "Mandarin Duck River".It is mostly a place where lovers gather, and lanterns are set off to pray for lovers to get married.Looking around, it is a place where boys and girls meet.Even if you are a lady who usually does not go out of the door, you have to come here to light a lamp at this time to make full preparations for your lifelong event.

"Xiao Mumu, now you are famous." Chu Tiankuo said suddenly.

"Why?"

"Early tomorrow morning, no. You don't have to wait until tomorrow, everyone in Lingyang City knows that you, Mu Aichen, like men. You are famous."

Mu Aichen didn't care about other people's opinions, he wished to let everyone know his feelings for Ah Kuo.In this way, A Kuo can only belong to himself.

"Don't you really care about other people's opinions?" Chu Tiankuo looked at his indifference, as if reading Mu Aichen's heartfelt voice.

"Even if people all over the world scold me, it won't change my feelings for you. Ah Kuo, I don't like men. I just like you." Mu Aichen gradually stretched out his hand, stroking Chu Tiankuo's Face.

"Take the swearing at me by thousands of people in exchange for your liking, and I will have no regrets in this life."

"Xiao Mumu..." Mu Aichen's face felt a little hot when touched, and his position in Mu Aichen's heart was higher than expected.Chu Tiankuo didn't know what to say for a moment, and the two looked at each other silently...the only thing that echoed in their ears was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
