Why do you want me to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?

Qiao Shuyu hid behind the stone lion and looked at Ye Tingyuan and Pei Yin. The two of them got into a carriage and left in the opposite direction from Chongming Academy.

He came out slowly, looking at the direction of the carriage in a daze, not sure where the two of them were going, maybe there was something urgent?

"Why didn't you let me know if there was something urgent?"

Qiao Shuyu felt a little sad, and walked back sleepily, several times slower than when he came, wondering what Ye Tingyuan was doing all the way.

"I made a promise last night, how can I break my promise?"

He looked up at the Chongming restaurant in front of him, and before he knew it, he walked back here again, because the private room had already retreated, so he didn't go in, but leaned next to the restaurant.

When Ye Tingyuan finishes his work, maybe he will come to the appointment, it's still early, in modern times, it should be about seven or eight o'clock, at worst, dinner will be turned into supper later.

Pedestrians on the street came and went, constantly changing. Qiao Shuyu leaned against the wall of the Chongming Restaurant at first, then squatted down when he was tired from standing for a long time, and finally sat directly on the ground.

The night was relatively dark, so passers-by couldn't see what he was wearing clearly. When they saw him sitting on the side of the road, they threw a few copper coins to him with good intentions.

Qiao Shuyu looked helplessly at the copper plate in front of him. A beggar beside him was staring at him angrily. He probably thought he had robbed the site, so he picked up the copper plate on the ground and threw it to the beggar.

"Give you……"

"If you are sensible, you know that this is my territory."

The beggar was instantly happy. After thinking about it, he returned a copper coin to Qiao Shu and said, "At least you are the one who wants to come. I will leave one for you."

"No, I don't need it."

"Don't pull it down. Seeing that you are dressed so well, why are you pretending to be a beggar here?"

"Oh, how are you?"

"Although I don't have any money, I also know that this set of clothes on you is estimated to be more than what I earn in a year. Could it be that you are the young master of some family and come out to experience life?"

"I'm not a young master, I don't use my own money to wear and eat..."

Speaking of this, Qiao Shuyu suddenly realized that these days were so comfortable that he almost forgot that he was actually the same Qiao Shuyu who had nothing!

How is he different from a beggar?

The beggar saw his unlovely expression, and he must have fallen into some bad mood, so he didn't speak any more. Qiao Shuyu folded his hands on his knees and looked at all kinds of passers-by.

I was still hungry just now, but now I don’t feel any more, maybe I’m too hungry.

The image of Ye Tingyuan and Pei Yin walking together just now came to mind, they got into the carriage, where did the carriage go?Pei Yao'an said that every time before Ye Tingyuan's birthday, Pei Yin would make careful preparations for a long time.

Could it be that the two of them went to celebrate their birthdays?But last night it was clearly agreed to have dinner together today, how can it be changed temporarily?

Even if you want to change, at least let him know, and give him any reason, such as urgent and busy, or too busy to make time.

If there was a reason, maybe he wouldn't be so sad now.

"Brother, there is no one on the road. It's useless to continue sitting here. It's going to rain today. You'd better go back early."

The beggar said this to Qiao Shuyu before he left, but Qiao Shuyu didn't raise his head, as if he didn't hear it, and then the surroundings became quiet.

But this silence didn't last long, and the sound of rain falling on the eaves rang in my ears. The raindrops were heavy and sparse.

Qiao Shuyu didn't want to move at first, but remembered that the brocade box in his arms contained a piano score, and it would be bad if it got wet, so he stood up and wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain.

But because I sat for too long, I stood up for a while and my legs were still a little uncomfortable. I leaned on the wall and looked at it for a while, then walked a few steps forward, and got close to the wall. The restaurant was closed.

The rain was getting heavier, and occasionally there were a few people running on the street, but because it was too late, most of them were asleep.

Qiao Shuyu was stuck under the eaves, and still got some rain. With his back to the street, he held the brocade box tightly in his arms, and his back was soaked in a short while.

After an unknown amount of time, someone pulled his arm suddenly, and Qiao Shuyu turned around excitedly, only to see Pei Yao'an with a surprised face.

"Is it really you? Qiao Shuyu, why are you standing here in the middle of the night?"

Because the sound of the rain was relatively loud, Pei Yao'an yelled these words. He pulled the umbrella held by his entourage and moved it over Qiao Shuyu's head to block the rain.

"Master, this way you can get caught in the rain."

The entourage said worriedly, and Pei Yaoan shouted at him impatiently: "Get out of here." The entourage could only shut up and stand aside.

"Pei Yao'an, why are you here?"

"I should be asking you this question, right? Aren't you going to help Ye Tingyuan celebrate his birthday? Is that how you celebrate? Where is Ye Tingyuan?"

Qiao Shuyu lowered his head and replied weakly, "I don't know."

"what?"

Pei Yao'an looked at the brocade box in his arms, and guessed that it might contain Feng Miyin.

"You haven't sent the gift yet?"

"Ah."

"You are really... Let me tell you what's good about you? Let's not talk about this, your clothes are wet, I will take you home first. "

"I don't want to go back."

"Then where do you want to go?"

"I want to go painting a boat."

"Where? Painted boat? Go to the lake to sit on a boat in such a heavy rain?"

Qiao Shuyu stopped talking. Seeing him like this, Pei Yaoan knew he would not let go, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there, can you get in the carriage first?"

Holding an umbrella, he took Qiao Shuyu to the side of the carriage parked beside him. Seeing that his young master was soaked through, the entourage wandered around worriedly. If he fell ill due to the rain, how could the master and wife blame him?

After getting into the carriage, both of them were in a bit of a panic, one entourage was holding an umbrella and the other was driving the carriage. Pei Yao'an ordered to go to Chongming Lake.

After arriving at Chongming Lake, the rain eased. Qiao Shuyu dismissed the servants who were guarding the boat, and then walked into the cabin by himself.

"So your plan is to have dinner at the Chongming Restaurant, and then go here for a lake tour?"

Pei Yao'an looked at the newly decorated cabin, thinking that although this idea is old-fashioned, it is not bad, but what is the situation now?

Qiao Shuyu didn't answer, he casually threw the brocade box in his hand on the low table, quietly looked at the cabin that had been arranged all morning today, and suddenly stepped forward to tear up all the hanging decorations up.

Pei Yao'an didn't help or stop him, knowing that he was in a bad mood and needed to vent/vent, Qiao Shuyu didn't stop until he got rid of everything, and went back to the low table to sit down.

Pei Yao'an walked over and sat opposite him. The table was prepared with fruit cakes and some jars of wine. He picked up a jar of wine and said, "If you are not happy, drink a jar of wine. Once you get drunk, you will relieve your worries."

As he spoke, he opened the wine jar, placed it in front of him, and then opened a jar himself.

"I'll accompany you."

"Pei Yao'an..."

Qiao Shuyu suddenly called out, his voice sounded hoarse.

"what happened?"

"Do you have someone you like?"

Pei Yao'an froze for a moment, although he didn't know why he asked this, but still looked at him and replied: "Yes..."

"Then are you together?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I haven't told him that I like him yet."

"Why didn't you tell her?"

"He has someone he likes. If I say it, it will only increase his annoyance. It's better not to say it."

"That is to say, the person you like doesn't like you either?"

"Ah."

"Then we are in the same boat!"

Qiao Shuyu picked up the wine jar, and Pei Yao'an knowingly picked up one to touch him, and then both of them raised their heads and took a few sips.

Qiao Shuyu had never drank like this before, and felt a little choked up for a while, but in fact, his alcohol capacity was not very good.

"Can't drink?"

"Who says it won't happen, don't look down on people."

"Then who can drink better?"

"No, they say it's easy to get drunk when you're in a bad mood, so even if I get drunk later, it doesn't mean I'm a bad drinker, but because I'm really in a bad mood today."

As he spoke, he took out the small wooden carving from his arms, looked at the wooden carving and said, "Why do you think you are so hateful?"

Pei Yao'an stretched out his hand to take a look, and said in surprise, "This sculpture is Ye Tingyuan?"

"Ah."

"Don't tell me you carved it?"

"Or it's still you?"

"Qiao Shuyu, I didn't expect you to be so stupid and have such a skill. No, you have to carve one for me."

"What to carve for you? Carve Ye Tingyuan for you too? Don't tell me you have a crush on him too?"

"Fuck you, you think my young master's eyesight is as bad as yours, of course I asked you to carve me, or you can give me a carve."

Qiao Shuyu took back the wood carving and stuffed it back into his arms, then continued to drink, Pei Yaoan looked at him with one hand on his chin and said, "I'm serious, since I've helped you so much recently, you can carve one for me." I should too, right?"

"Let's talk about it, I'm not in the mood right now."

"I didn't ask you to carve now, and it's not too late to carve when you feel better someday."

"Tell me, why is it so tiring to like someone?"

"Don't like it if you're tired."

"Can you stop liking me?"

Qiao Shuyu saw that Pei Yao'an didn't speak, so he sighed and said, "Look, why ask me to do something that you can't even do yourself."

"But I don't suffer as much as you do."

"Pei Yao'an, the person you like doesn't like you, why aren't you sad at all?"

"It's not that I'm not sad, it's just that my love doesn't have to be obtained."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm different from you, you like Ye Tingyuan, and Ye Tingyuan has no one he likes, so as long as you work hard, he may like you, and then you will be in love with each other.

However, the person I like already has someone he likes, so for him, being with the person he likes is his happiness. How can I destroy his happiness? "

Qiao Shuyu was a little surprised that Pei Yao'an would say such a thing, he thought this guy was the kind of heartless flamboyant, every time he appeared, he was surrounded by a group of little girls.

"Pei Yao'an, who do you like?"
