When the two returned to the banquet hall, the time for a stick of incense had passed.

Especially when Mei Shao sat down with Bai Bingchen carelessly, Chu Yan stared at the red and swollen corners of his mouth for a while, showing an expression of "I knew it was so".

The eyes of the people brought by Mei Shao were too undisguised. Bai Bingchen sat on a high position, receiving gazes from all directions, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of the toast, Chu Yan, who had been staring at him for a long time, finally seized the opportunity, took the wine glass and went to the superior, teasingly said: "Master Bai's mansion is very big, from the mansion gate to the banquet hall, you need a stick of incense. time......"

Listening to his teasing, Bai Bingchen just smiled slightly, poured a glass of wine to toast him, but Mei Shao snatched it away, snorted, and pointed out: "You said it yourself, you are still taking medicine, Can't drink."

Bai Bingchen watched him drink Chu Yanjing's wine with his neck up. The lingering wine passed through the wound at the corner of his lips, causing him to squint his eyes slightly in pain, and the color of his eyes darkened a little.

Chu Yan sensitively caught the affection flowing between them, and pointedly leaned into Bai Bingchen's ear and said, "Master Bai, give him a hard time, we all support you."

As he spoke, he winked at Bai Bingchen, and Bai Bingchen followed his gaze. Jian Shiliu, who was sitting on the left, looked at him with approval, which made him dumbfounded for a while.

After blocking several glasses of wine for Bai Bingchen in a row, Mei Shao's eyes were a little watery, and he came over belatedly and asked, "What did they say to you?"

"Then how did you tell them about me, and in what capacity do you want them to come to my house for the New Year?"

"I just said, Master Bai has taken a fancy to my beauty, I can't beat you, I can only commit myself to power."

"You really dare to say it." Bai Bingchen pushed his head that he wanted to lean on his shoulder.

"The people outside don't know, but the people around you, the people around me, have to know that you are mine and I am yours." Mei Shao turned to look at him, "In this way you will not Back off the chance to regret."

"Is that why you brought people here today?"

"No, I really think that Lord Bai dislikes my low salary, so he specially brought someone here to let Lord Bai see if I have the capital to propose marriage to him?"

Mei Shao embraced him from behind, held his hand, stroked the calluses between his fingers again and again, said vaguely.

"What are you talking about?" Bai Bingchen scolded him with a smile, but he didn't stop him from getting closer.

After drinking in the hall for three rounds, the atmosphere became warmer.

As the New Year approached, the sound of fireworks scattered outside gradually intensified. The Baifu kitchen added more pots according to personal taste, and picked their favorite dishes and served them on the table.

Bai Bingchen looked at the pot of clear soup in front of him that didn't touch any spicy taste, sighed inaudibly, and looked at Mei Shao softly, with a flattering look in his eyes.

"Don't think about it, you can't eat it." Mei Shao ruthlessly dispelled his thoughts.

Bai Bingchen glanced at the bottoms of the pots at every table in the hall, resentfully, turned back to his own table, looked at the empty soup bottoms, and complained: "Forget the bottoms of the pots, why is it in my house that I don't even Nothing at all?"

Mei Shao didn't speak, took the bowls and chopsticks in front of Bai Bingchen and walked down.

It was only then that Bai Bingchen realized that no one had touched the dishes that had just been placed on the table in the hall. They seemed to have discussed it, and they all waited for Mei Shao to come down.

Mei Shao took the bowl and turned around, and when she came back, the bowl was already full of various dishes, and she pushed it in front of Bai Bingchen.

"What are you doing?" Bai Bingchen looked at Mei Shao pouring the bowl of "begging" into his own pot, hesitantly said: "Are you coming to my house to beg for food?"

Mei Shao didn't care about the teasing meaning in his words, and poured the bowl of patchwork ingredients into his pot, just when the pot was boiling, the bell outside also rang.

"It's New Year's Eve." Mei Shao turned his face, took a piece of vegetables from his pot and put it into Bai Bingchen's bowl, and said softly: "I heard that if you eat Baijia rice in the New Year, you will be healthy and safe for a year. "

Bai Bingchen was stunned.

"With my current status, I can't walk around the streets to ask for it for you. I can only make do with it." Mei Shao leaned over, and hugged him loosely, with warm lips on his side. Kissed her face, and said affectionately: "My little man, you must be safe every year."

The sound of exploding fireworks outside came one after another, but Bai Bingchen could only hear his words circling in his ears, his heart suddenly jumped, and then it beat quickly and steadily.

People in the hall who had drunk too much leaned on the table in twos and threes, only they faced each other soberly and saw the reflection in each other's eyes clearly.

Bai Bingchen turned his face away, Mei Shao captured his lips and kissed him tenderly.

This is their long-lost, first new year after reunion.

-

Mei Shao was in a good mood, and drank a lot of wine in the middle of the night. When he raised his head from the table, everyone in the hall was gone, only a few servants who cleaned up the mess.

Seeing him awake, someone came forward to help him up.

Mei Shao looked around and found that even Bai Bingchen did not stay, feeling a little disappointed.

"Where's your master?"

"The head of the family couldn't bear it any longer, so he said he should go to bed first."

Mei Shao's heart is empty, today is the first day of the new year, and it is also his birthday...but Bai Bingchen seems to have forgotten.

Drowsily following the servants out the door, Mei Shao felt a little chilled by the cold wind, and then realized that she was unconsciously taken outside the small kitchen not far from Bai Bingchen's yard, and at this time, the small kitchen The lamp was still on.

Mei Shao was a little dazed, and just wanted to ask what happened to the boy who brought her, but when she looked back, she realized that he had long since disappeared.

He took two steps forward and saw a faint yellow light emanating from the unclosed door, and a strange impulse arose in his heart.

There was a person standing in front of the cooking stove inside, his face was blocked by the cover in his hand, the pervasive heat almost covered his whole body, and he couldn't even see his figure clearly, but Mei Shao still saw it with a single glance amidst the heat. The jade wrench on a piece of finger.

The tip of his nose was slightly sore, he stepped forward and put his arms around Bai Bingchen's waist, letting himself be steamed by the heat.

Bai Bingchen didn't look surprised at all, as if he knew he was coming, without even turning his head, he asked casually familiarly: "Are you awake? The noodles are just right, try it and see if it tastes like it did back then."

Mei Shao looked at the bowl of noodles on his neck, there were sticky noodles floating in the snow-white soup made of stick bones, thin slices of beef and green vegetables lined up to cover half of the bowl, emitting his The familiar taste in memory.

"You still remember that today is my birthday."

"Who wouldn't remember such a special birthday of yours?" Bai Bingchen sighed softly, with emotion in his words.

Mei Shao's birthday is just like him, so exciting that people can't avoid it. If it's on another day, it's fine. Bai Bingchen can find something to do by himself, so that he doesn't deliberately think that it's his birthday.

But he happened to be born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Bai Bingchen couldn't avoid it no matter what. The New Year's celebrations from morning to night, the lively fireworks on the street, even a child in red running by the side of the road, can easily Remind him that this day is Mei Shao's birthday.

During their six years of separation, Bai Bingchen yearned for this day as much as he was afraid of facing it squarely at the beginning of the new year. He was afraid of his discomfort after waiting for nothing, and he also longed for the connection through this day. Under the same sky, thousands of houses are brightly lit, from south to north, without sleep all night.

For at least one day every year, their frequencies are perfectly in sync.

"But we have known each other for so long, this is the second birthday you celebrated for me. Even when I was crowned, you were not there..."

Bai Bingchen's hand holding the bowl suddenly trembled, and a few drops of boiling hot soup fell on his wrist, smearing the flour stained on it, and sticking to it all at once.

He pursed his lips, listened to Mei Shao's soft complaints, did not speak, just put the bowl of noodles on the wooden table beside him, silently pushed it in front of him, and said softly: "Eat."

Mei Shao lowered her head, stirred the noodles in the bowl, found the egg lying underneath, and took a bite.

The steaming heat formed a natural barrier to block them. Bai Bingchen couldn't see his expression clearly, and felt that he had returned to the time when he celebrated his birthday for the first time in a trance.

Mei Shao's birthday is so rare that it is difficult for the Mei family to celebrate his birthday without the big day of the Spring Festival, so most of them just celebrate it for him during the family dinner at night.

Because it is such a big day, every household celebrates the New Year in their own home, and it is difficult for him to invite people who are familiar with him to Meifu. In this way, his most lively birthday is the least lively.

In the first year of their acquaintance, although Bai Bingchen remembered his birthday, there was no reason to go to other people's houses for a meal on the first day of the first lunar month. It's a birthday gift.

Also on the New Year's Day of the second year, when it was approaching the twelfth birthday, Mei Shao took the initiative to climb over the wall and enter the White Mansion, and found Bai Bingchen to ask for a birthday gift.Unexpectedly, he would run out on a regular day, so Bai Bingchen couldn't come up with anything for a while, so he sneaked into the small kitchen next to him and made him a bowl of longevity noodles.

Fortunately, it was finished before midnight, and it was also in time for his 19th birthday.

The next year, after Bai Bingchen was crowned, Mei Shao told him that the Mei Manor planned to hold a birthday banquet for him on the day of his crowning.It was clear that half a year had passed, but listening to him talking about what clothes he was going to wear that day and who he would invite to preside over his coronation ceremony, Bai Bingchen suddenly felt that time would pass quickly like water.

Time really flies, but three or four months later, the Cangshan Incident brought blood to Pingdu.

The day he reached the crown was spent amidst the insults of the dandies in Xunfang Pavilion, and on that day, amidst the laughter of a group of aristocratic families, Bai Bingchen personally pierced his earlobe and put him on black beads.

Through the mist, Bai Bingchen stretched out his hand to caress his earlobe, and gently twisted the bead, Mei Shao paused when he raised his face.

Bai Bingchen's voice was very soft, as if he was asking the person from six years ago, "Does it hurt?"

The heat gradually dissipated, revealing Mei Shao's clear eyes, "It hurts."

"Then why not take it off?"

Mei Shao was silent for a moment, then laughed, "At the beginning, it was because of hatred, because of hatred, I wanted to remember this shame... After knowing the truth, it didn't hurt anymore."

He pursed his lower lip, and took this opportunity to ask what he had been wanting to ask all along, "What about you? Why didn't you take off the silver ring after I branded it on you with hatred?"

There was a little tenderness in Bai Bingchen's eyes, he raised a gentle smile, and said softly: "I am a prisoner, and I am willing."

Mei Shao held the hand caressing the side of his face with his backhand, stroked the tender flesh of his wrist, and looked at him fixedly.

They saw the same longing and possessiveness in each other's eyes, Mei Shao suddenly exerted force on her hand, got up and pulled Bai Bingchen into her arms.

It's just a quiet hug, but they can feel the warm skin under each other's clothes. Whether it's on the body or in the heart, the most indelible scars are carved by the other party. In such a confrontation, They can still hug so intimately, which is beyond their imagination.

Mei Shao held the back of his neck, rubbed his thumb lightly, and tried to relax his tone, but he could still hear the trembling in his voice, "You are only one year older than me, why are you so reckless? I accompany you to the end of the crown, but I refuse to accompany me to the crown. This time, wait for me, Yan Fang, when I accompany you to the year of thirties, you will also accompany me to the end of the year Years, wait for me for one more year, okay?"

"As long as you don't break your promise this time, I will spend your [-]th birthday with you, just like today. If you break your promise...that's okay, I will find you."

Bai Bingchen broke free a little, took off the white jade wrench in his hand, and slowly put it on Mei Shao's hand.

He lightly left a kiss on the tip of his finger wearing a finger wrench, and looked up at him, his eyes filled with bits and pieces of broken light.

"Ah Shao, happy birthday."

Since the scars on their bodies were bestowed on each other, it is appropriate to sew and repair them for the rest of their lives.

It has to be said that both Meimei and Baibai have the deepest possessive desire for each other...
