so long

Beitong City is not like Dongming City where the seasons are like spring. The summer sun at noon here can almost smoke the ground, and it doesn't return to the cool breeze in the evening.

The noisy calls of summer cicadas are particularly interesting in summer in a small forest. There are also dragonflies and colorful butterflies flying in the lotus pond. From time to time, there are a few frogs singing and the sound of fish jumping out of the water.

In the mansion specially prepared by City Lord Duan for Ning Jingyao, Xiao Shizi was standing outside a remote courtyard, followed by a large group of servants, holding a wooden sword in his hand, some sweat was oozing from his white and tender face , seems to have just come out of the practice room.

Ning Chongyun has learned from childhood as long as it is something that Prince Ning knows, even when he comes to Beitong. , went to that side courtyard to see a skinny child who seemed to be a servant, straddling a horse and driving wooden stakes.

Today, of course, is no exception.

When Ning Chongyun found out that his father asked the strange child he picked up to study with the hidden guards that the emperor specially placed beside his father, he was actually relieved. Xiao Shizi was originally the only child who stayed by a man's side for a long time, and suddenly he became a child. If one more comes out, of course you will feel that your position is threatened.

Xiao Shizi is like every child who longs to be pampered all the time, always looking for a sense of presence around men.

He would learn something new every day, so he would go and tell the man, and listen to his father, who had almost no flaws in his eyes, look at him with light eyes, and then call him 'Yuner', this little boy. Name, praise him.

Occasionally, he would go out with his father and that troublesome Yi Jiuchen to experience the local customs of Beitong, play chess with his father from time to time, and then play the tunes that his father had played with the jade flute that was exactly like his father.

Here, there are no courtiers who are noisy every day and come to see men at every turn, there are no rivers and lakes who are constantly waiting to see their father, and there is no emperor who invites his father to the palace for family banquets from time to time, only him.

Every time Xiao Shizi thinks of this, he can't restrain himself from wanting to live here with the man forever, even though it's so hot that he can't stand it, he never dislikes Beitong.

This kind of leisurely life stopped when he saw that wild kid named Zou Jitian making crazy progress.

Ning Chongyun knew from the housekeeper early on that Prince Ning planned to let Zou Jitian grow up to be strong enough, and then he would stay by his side. Xiao Shizi had never met that child a few times, and the one that impressed him the most was only that time. The scene where Zou Jitian fell to the ground in embarrassment but grabbed Prince Ning's clothes.

He always felt that this little beggar was annoying, obviously it was his father, but he had never entered a man's room when a man was taking a bath, the kind of frustration and jealousy that he didn't have, but others had made the little beggar feel so disgusted. I don't care about my progress!

Xiao Shizi didn't know what kind of inner hints he gave himself, and he didn't want to let that beggar surpass him, so he studied harder every day, and then blatantly saw how the beggar had improved.

After finding out that he had fought with that little beggar in the past, and he could definitely beat him with one hand, he left with satisfaction and went to the small courtyard where men would stay in the cool air at this time of day every day.

As a result, when I went there to look, I couldn't find the person I was looking for. After asking, I found out that after three games of chess with City Lord Duan, Lord Ning went out to see That White Peak is gone.

"Did daddy say when he'll be back?" Ning Chongyun asked, looking at the maid who lowered her head to answer her question.

The maid shook her head: "Master didn't say anything, he just wanted to see the White Peak by himself, and he said he didn't want too many people to follow, so he only brought two attendants."

Xiao Shizi has always known that men like to play around, like famous landscape paintings, like beautiful women with good wine, except for the business of the winery and bank in Dongming City, they don't seem to care about everything, just follow their heart, and focus on everything. To put it bluntly, that's capricious, and the capricious people in the world don't think there's anything wrong with him.

If given the chance...

Let those annoying doormen disappear, and the rude quack people who always take up Daddy's time can no longer meet Daddy casually, so Daddy can no longer run around casually, just stay at home obediently...

What good is there out there?

Xiao Shizi raised his head, and he could see the hazy snow-white patch on the top of the towering mountain peak, and said: "Then... When Daddy comes back, I will come and greet Daddy again." There is also a dark light in the eyes that people can't know.

At the foot of Baidingfeng Mountain, there are mirror-like lakes, dense jungles, beautiful waterfalls and ancient vines spreading upwards, but the closer to the top, the fewer plant species, and finally it is covered with white snow, which does not melt all year round.

Ning Jingyao was dressed in casual clothes, and walked slowly beside the lake with two attendants behind her. The entire lake was surrounded by big trees, only a small circle in the middle exposed the blue sky, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.

The man held a delicate wine gourd in his hand, and he waved his hand as he walked into the depths, telling the attendants behind him to wait for him here, and he walked alone.

After the two guards looked at each other, one of them said, "My lord, please don't embarrass your subordinates."

Ning Jingyao looked back at the two attendants who were saluting on one knee, her eyes turned cold, but she turned around and left without saying a word. The two attendants knew that they were going to make the prince really angry by following them, so they had no choice but to leave behind. This wait.

"Sure enough, the feeling of no one following...is much better." No one likes to live in the eyes of others at any time. Except for returning to his own room and having his own space, Prince Ning has been living in Emperor Juxiu's house. In sight, I finally came to such a quiet and good place, of course I hope to be alone for a while.

The man unknowingly swayed to the middle of the mountain, but before he remembered that someone reminded him not to climb the middle of Baiding Peak, the sky suddenly poured down with rain!

Prince Ning had to find a place to shelter from the rain, and after a while, he found a cave hidden behind vines.

At this time, Ning Jingyao was completely soaked, and hurried into the cave, only to find that there was already someone in the cave, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that person was also wet and was lighting a fire.

The man froze for a moment, and when the person who started the fire heard the movement and turned his head, he immediately said, "Little brother, can you let me come in together to avoid the rain?"

The person called Little Brother looked at Ning Jingyao, and when he stood up, he was actually taller than a man, with a slender figure, and his deep eyes looked warm from the firelight, he smiled slightly, and sat Another place gave way to Ning Jingyao, while continuing to fiddle with his own fire, he said: "Please feel free. You can take off your wet clothes and hang them there."

The man nodded gratefully, but he just took off his coat and hung it aside, then sat on the seat the young man vacated for him, and said, "Thank you little brother, what should I call you?"

The young man thought for a while and said to Ning Jingyao, "...Yin Shishi."
