Er Gou looked at them inexplicably, Zhao Xi had an abnormal blush on his face, and an indescribable feeling with his ruddy lips.Er Gou, who is still young now, doesn't know how to understand this psychological feeling caused by vision, and stands there in a daze.

"Ahem——" Zhao Xi's awkward cough broke the suffocating atmosphere, mainly because the two adults felt guilty.He sat up and fastened his clothes, his bare feet hanging on the edge of the bed.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

Zhao Xueyang turned his back and took a few deep breaths to calm down his body's reaction.

"Brother," Er Gou ran over and stood still in front of Zhao Xi, wanting to hold his hand.He was hurriedly avoided by Zhao Xi.Wring your fingers instead, "I can't find you, I miss you."

"Huh?" Xia Tian was dressed lightly, Zhao Xi was afraid that he would see something and dare not let him approach.Hearing the words, I was a little puzzled: "I haven't seen you for a few hours. Besides, you should go to the housekeeper to get an errand. What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Xi patted his head and coaxed him with a smile, "Good boy, let's go back."

Ergou blinked, struggling to understand his words in his mind.He thought that if Zhao Xi brought him back, he could stay by Zhao Xi's side all the time, but he threw him aside to take a bath, and left by himself.He desperately hoped that he would come back when he finished his work, but when he was led to get dressed and finished eating, he was left alone in the room and Zhao Xi did not come back.

He was left alone in the room, and no one taught him what to do and where to go, so he finally ran out to find Zhao Xi.

"Brother doesn't care about me anymore?" He seemed to be confused.

Zhao Xueyang glanced at him, and saw that he was a thin and small one, looking pitiful.

Being looked at by him like this, without a questioning tone, made Zhao Xi's conscience seem to be condemned.It is normal for children to feel insecure when they first arrive here.He exhaled, stretched out his hand to touch the child's head, and pulled him to sit on a chair beside him.

"I'm taking a nap now, and the housekeeper should be taking a rest too, so you can just sleep here for a while. We'll talk about it in the afternoon."

Er Gou sat down on the chair, shaking his short legs, "I want to follow my brother, can I?"

"This......"

Zhao Xueyang looked at two eyes, one big and one small, and nodded helplessly: "Not yet, you can do chores in the mansion first."

Zhao Xueyang had already spoken, but Zhao Xi didn't say anything.After all, the child's origin is unknown, so it is really not suitable to be around.

He reached out to touch Ergou's drooping head, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

The three of them stayed together, the previous atmosphere was gone, Zhao Xi fell asleep lying on the bamboo bed, a servant came to report after a while, saying that there was some file in Dali Temple that he wanted to use for his seal.

Zhao Xueyang left in a hurry and sent someone to guard Zhao Xi in the dark.

Er Gou woke up when he was talking, rubbed his eyes in a daze, and saw his back leaving.Ergou hesitated for a while, jumped off the chair, climbed onto the bamboo bed, curled up beside Zhao Xi and lay down.

He looked up at Zhao Xi's cheeks that were rosy from the heat, closed his eyes in satisfaction, and fell asleep with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Zhao Xi didn't know how long he had slept this time, and woke up in a daze. The whole yard was shrouded in orange light, and it was already sunset.

The yard was empty, and the shadows of the bamboo leaves overhead were drawn long by the setting sun, casting them on the houses.Zhao Xi couldn't tell what was empty in his heart, he looked around and found the child curled up at the end of the bed beside him.

He didn't wake up the child, and was carefully preparing to go down, but he was alarmed.

"Well—brother." Er Gou opened his eyes and blinked, his long and dense eyelashes fluttering twice.

"Awake." Zhao Xi put on clogs, straightened his hair and clothes, turned to look at him and said softly.

Ergou sat up, blinked blankly, jumped off the bed and ran to him.

This kid is quite annoying.Zhao Xi thought, and gently took his hand. "Let's go." The child blushed and nodded shyly, and was led away obediently.

"Where is the crown prince?" Zhao Xi returned to the front hall and took a sip of tea, his throat was a little dry just after waking up.

"There is something in Dali Temple, the prince has gone and has not come back." The servant reported.

Zhao Xi didn't care either, "Oh, when did the crown prince leave?"

"It's been more than two hours."

Zhao Xi just asked casually and didn't pay attention.It's just that when it was time for dinner, after waiting for a while, someone came over and said that Zhao Xueyang was called by the emperor to the palace to talk about something, and the emperor kept the meal so that he didn't have to wait.

I deliberately asked someone to come out to deliver the message because I was afraid that he would wait for a long time, so it can be said that I didn't care.But Zhao Xi was inexplicably upset, especially when the sky outside was suddenly dark and the wind was blowing, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily.

Thinking of the note I saw in the morning, my mood was as gloomy as the sky outside.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before it started to rain heavily. The strong wind and rain took away the heat, and the air smelled of dust.

Zhao Xi was sitting on the small bed behind the window to digest food. The half-person-high window was wide open, and there was a long corridor outside.The heat in the house gradually went away, listening to the sound of dripping rain, looking at the yard in a trance.

Sure enough, Zhao Xueyang did not come back.

Zhao Xi lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, he didn't close the window, the rain was loud and urgent, and it rained all night.

"What time is it?" Zhao Xi asked with his eyes open as the candles had already been extinguished.

The hidden guard lurking outside heard the approach to the window, and responded in a low voice: "It's time."

"It's time..." Zhao Xi muttered.It's raining heavily outside, so you won't get wet when you go out, will Zhao Xueyang go back to see Lu Ninghua?

I don't know when I fell asleep, the rain hit the roof and fell from the eaves; the wind blew the windows, and Zhao Ximeng also had a heavy rain.

It's been a long time since he had a dream about his life, but this time he actually dreamed about something from his childhood.Those past events that he has almost forgotten.During those years in the orphanage, the scenes in his dreams were colorless, just like his gloomy childhood when he looked back on the past.

The orphanage is in a small county town, and there are not many children in it, and few of them are adopted.Friends and nurses who grew up together.Because of the lack of important emotional sustenance, he has longed for family affection since he was a child.When he was a child, Zhao Xi was introverted and didn't like to talk, he almost closed himself in his inner world.After so many years, he had forgotten that in the deepest part of his memory, he was always accompanied by a sense of loneliness like a tarsal maggot.

He saw two little boys holding hands and playing on the swing in the yard. Every plant and tree in the orphanage was so familiar.One is him, and the other is his best childhood playmate.In the dream, he couldn't remember the other person's name, that face was familiar yet strange.

"Axi, I have to go." He said.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Xi asked, afraid of losing a good friend.

"Go where I'm supposed to go."

Zhao Xi was sad, "Will you come back?"

He shook his head, "No, you have to come to me."

.......

The sound of the rain was very loud, and Zhao Xi was awakened by the sound of the rain in the middle of the night, his mind was full of the dream just now.

That was his memory when he was six or seven years old. It was too long and he couldn't remember many things clearly.This seems to have dug out something deep in his memory, which seems to be true and false.He tried to think about it. Looking back, he seemed to have a good friend, but his memory was fuzzy. Later, he didn't know where he went. He should have been adopted.

Dreams are sometimes very inexplicable. Most of his dreams are about car accidents, and he hasn't dreamed about them before.That sense of melancholy haunted him in the dead of night, and Zhao Xi stayed up in the middle of the night with his eyes open, listening to the sound of rain, unable to fall asleep again.

[The author has something to say: Do you remember Chu Yaorui?This dream is half true and half false, a bit like a ghost dreaming a dream, so it should not be taken too seriously.I don’t want to be a joke, but it seems that I can’t finish writing, so let me tell you hahahaha]
