"Master, son, you are back!"
It was almost four o'clock, and Xiaoyu looked forward to Wen Liang and Cui Chengyan back.
Xiaoyu was used to doing supper business before, and she can still hold on from dozing off.
But Cui An is pitiful - he is already fast asleep at this moment, but the young master and the young mistress have not come back yet, how can he, a servant, dare to rest assured to sleep?
Xiaoyu always told him not to worry, just sit down and wait obediently.But he is the young master's personal servant, the kind who can't leave him at every step... When the young master was in Qingzhou City, when did the young master go out without him?But since coming to the capital...
Cui An couldn't help but yawned and rubbed his eyes.
Recently, he has always had a strange feeling... He, maybe [-]% or maybe, is going to lose his job?
"It's cold outside, it's easy to catch cold." Xiaoyu looked at them who looked tired and unhappy, and suggested cautiously. "Master, young master, drink a bowl of ginger tea to warm up before going to bed."
Good guy, why do you feel that the atmosphere between the young master and the son is not right?
Cui Chengyan stood still in the courtyard, nodded to her: "Send it to my study."
After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the study room without turning his head.
"It's so late...does the young master still study hard..."
Xiaoyu was very surprised, she looked at Wen Liang again: "The young master..."
Wen Liang pinched the center of his brows, seeming troubled.
"I'll go to the kitchen with you."
He also didn't even look back.
Xiaoyu wondered in her heart: Before going out at night, the young master was still thinking about the young master's taboos, whether to eat this or not to love, how much care should be taken.Why did you go out for a while and come back like a stranger?
"If you add more firewood, it will go out."
Wen Liang saw that Xiaoyu had been adding firewood to the stove, looking distraught, so he kindly squatted down to help her take out the extra firewood.
Xiaoyu just woke up like a big dream, realizing that she was overthinking the problem.
"I'm sorry! Young Master!"
She hastily rearranged the firewood in the stove, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a red mark on Wen Liang's neck.
this... this is...
I have been a maid in Cui's mansion for so long, I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs run away.The mark on the young master's neck is clearly the hickey from the kiss!
Xiaoyu's cheeks suddenly turned crimson. She had already guessed that the young master and young master would definitely do something outside, but she never thought it would be this!
This... this is too exciting!
"Hey, you took out all the firewood, what kind of fire is there?"
Wen Liang couldn't help but glanced at her again, and asked, "What's the matter? Go to bed when you're sleepy. I'll make ginger tea. I know the taste of the young master."
Cui Wusui is a fussy guy, he won't drink ginger if it tastes too strong.Add more honey to overwhelm the ginger flavor.
"Not sleepy, not sleepy!" Xiaoyu said hurriedly. "I just couldn't figure out something, and I was distracted."
After getting along with Wen Liang during this period of time, Xiaoyu also gradually let go of her attitude towards Wen Liang, and no longer blindly regard him as her master.
The young master is a good person, and also her friend, she has to care about what happened between the young master and the young master, right?
With this level of confidence, Xiaoyu dared to ask questions that sounded quite out of bounds.
"That..." She peeked at Wen Liang and whispered. "Young master, you and the young master..."
Hey, it's a bit embarrassing.
Wen Liang was a little distraught tonight, and with Cui Chengyan's preemptive accusation, the restlessness in his heart became more and more exposed.
"What about this and that...Xiaoyu, since when did you like to talk around corners like the young master?"
Observing words and demeanor is Xiaoyu's strong point. After Wen Liang said that, can she not find out the dissatisfaction in the son's heart?
"No, nothing..." Xiaoyu whispered even more. "I just want to ask... Do you want to continue tomorrow with the unfinished dishes tonight?"
Today's dinner is a warm-up for the young master's birthday party tomorrow.The dishes were carefully designed by the young master, but they both went out to work before they had time to eat.
Xiaoyu didn't dare to use Wenliang's hard work, so he and Cui An casually ate some leftovers to dismiss.
Wen Liang got up from the stove, and when he turned around, he saw the ingredients he had prepared on the table—Xiaoyu also thoughtfully covered it with gauze to prevent dust from falling.
Do... be a fart.
Cui Chengyan's bastard is not worthy of his kindness to him at all!
Wen Liang was so angry that he simply broke the jar.
"The overnight dishes are not fresh, so don't make them." He said, "Tomorrow, you can serve the young master a bowl of longevity noodles."
Xiaoyu:? ? ?
What happened, her eyes widened: "No, don't do it?"
Wen Liang: "Yes, don't do it. Anyway, if you do it, it will be in vain. They are all white-eyed wolves."
The sound of cutting ginger can be heard in the kitchen.
Xiaoyu understands now, it's because the young master has provoked the young master again.
"Hey...but..." Xiaoyu said. "I, the noodles I made...it's not delicious!"
"Then who suggested to me to set up a stall to sell noodles?" Wen Liang mercilessly exposed her. "I don't know who said that at the beginning, I learned ramen noodles from Master Baian of Cuifu, and said that I can pull out noodles as thin as a strand of hair."
Xiaoyu rubbed her nose embarrassingly: "Then, that's not me... bragging..."
In order for the young master to have an unforgettable birthday, she was going all out.
Wen Liang wanted to say something, but saw Xiaoyu rushing over and pulling his arm, begging, "Oh my lord, don't get angry! I don't know what the young master wants to eat, but I know that if there is a choice, he definitely doesn't want to eat it." I cooked longevity noodles."
"You know, on the young master's birthdays in the past, the madam cooked the noodles herself." Xiaoyu added. "I heard that this is the rule of Qingzhou City... It is said that only the longevity noodles cooked by the closest relatives will make the wish more effective..."
"Nonsense." Wen Liang was amused by her mysterious words. "I'm a native of Qingzhou City, why don't I know this rule?"
Dedicated to reconciling the young master and the son, Xiaoyu said nonsense in a serious manner: "That's why I remembered wrongly! This is the rule of the Cui family! The old lady made it, and the whole family must abide by it!"
"My lord, don't get angry with the young master." Xiaoyu looked at him, extremely wronged. "Since entering the kitchen, you have never said a word to the young master..."
Wen Liang frowned, as if recalling what he said just now.
Seeing that he had listened to her words, Xiaoyu hit the iron while the iron was hot: "Hey, what, husband and wife... oh no husband and wife, there is no overnight feud between husband and wife. The old people say that. The young master is a young man with a bloody spirit, and he couldn't hold back for a while. It's inevitable to be a bit rude... um...Young master, you can punish me a little, why take it to heart?"
When Xiaoyu said this, she kept looking at the hickey on Wen Liang's neck.
The son has a thin skin, if the young master does something embarrassing others, he deserves to be blamed.
"What are you looking at?" Wen Liang belatedly noticed that Xiaoyu was always looking at his neck, so he wiped his hands and touched it. "Here is……"
I didn't understand at first, but combined with what Xiaoyu said just now and her performance before and after, Wen Liang understood.
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows, and joked: "Okay, Xiaoyu, you dare to laugh at me."
Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue: "Xiaoyu dare not!"
She is just good at observing words and expressions. Can things that go along with the flow be called deliberate?
Wen Liang felt the temperature of his cheeks rising rapidly, he couldn't help asking Xiaoyu: "Am I really... angry?"
Xiaoyu said seriously: "Yes, from the time I came back to now, the young master has written 'I'm not happy' on his face."
"Just unhappy?"
Xiaoyu found his question very strange: "Is there anything else?"
Wen Liang thought for a while: "Just... other things? For example, hate, hate, what?"
Xiaoyu's proud ability to perceive words and emotions was questioned, and she asked nonchalantly, "Well... who do you hate, my lord? Could it be... the young master?"
Wen Liang coughed lightly: "Don't talk nonsense."
Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat, it's over, let her guess right!
Why does the son hate the young master?And... hate?It's a bit deep.
But... Just now, one went to the study and the other went to the kitchen without even turning their heads. It really seemed like they were going their separate ways.
Xiao Yurao couldn't figure out why, so she could only say truthfully: "Actually... the young master's complexion is not good-looking, but what is written on his face is 'I am not happy, come and coax me', and Young Master, all you have on your face is 'I'm not happy'..."
Xiaoyu accidentally said something very mysterious, Wen Liang looked at her in surprise, as if trying to figure out what she meant.
"Hey, I don't know if it's right to say that..." Xiaoyu racked her brains to find a suitable expression for her thoughts. "It's just... the kind of young master, who has a tone in his heart, and whoever makes him calm down, he can be happy. But you, my son... To put it bluntly, you just set your anger on yourself."
"Get angry with yourself?"
"Yes, that is... unless you figure it out yourself, no one can try to pull you back."
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, she looked at Wen Liang anxiously: "My lord... Let me say this... Do you understand?"
Wen Liang didn't speak, and frowned slightly.
Xiaoyu swallowed nervously, thinking that she had said something wrong: "I! I'm talking nonsense! Young Master, please don't take it to heart! Hey, recently, Young Master has been so kind to me that I'm getting carried away... Young Master, if you are not happy, just Scold me and I will vent your anger on you..."
Xiaoyu always has a way to liven up a serious scene.
Wen Liang's slightly frowned brows loosened suddenly, and he smiled: "I'm not angry because of you, why did I scold you to vent my anger?"
Only then did Xiaoyu breathe a sigh of relief. She caught a glimpse of the ginger tea on the stove boiling, and hurriedly said, "Hey! I almost forgot about it! Young master, come and have a drink first, I'll add sugar right away."
Wen Liang looked at the ginger tea, nodded and said, "I'll send it to the young master later."
Xiaoyu looked at him in surprise.
"Let's make a delicious meal tomorrow." His eyes fell on a table of semi-finished products, and his tone was relaxed. "It's cold, and the dishes don't go bad that easily. You're right, all your hard work should not be wasted."
"Right?"
☆
Cui Chengyan didn't plan to turn on the lamp to read at night, but because he was upset and didn't want to lie on the bed tossing and turning, he let himself go in the study.
"Master, it's time for you to rest." Cui An didn't dare to disturb him, only dared to speak outside the door.
"Go to sleep," Cui Chengyan said. "I want to read the book again."
The young master didn't sleep, how could Cui An dare to rest.
He was pacing outside the door, and when he was about to say something to persuade the young master, he saw Cui Chengyan suddenly opened the door and said to him: "Go to sleep, this is an order, don't refuse."
"But……"
A tangled expression appeared on Cui An's face.
"Why, don't you even listen to the young master?" Cui Chengyan deliberately frightened him. "If you do this again, I won't take you to the Zhuangyuan Inn in the future."
Unemployment alarm bells rang wildly in my heart——
It's over, the young master must be tired of him.
Just when Cui An turned his head three times, a hand was placed on his shoulder abruptly.
"Go to sleep," Wen Liang said with a smile while holding ginger tea. "I'm with the young master."
Cui An was relieved to go to sleep.
But Cui Chengyan didn't give Wen Liang any face at all, and said coldly, "Who wants you to accompany me?"
However, he said so, but when he turned to enter the house, he didn't close the door smoothly.
Wen Liang obediently followed behind him, and only after he sat down at the table did he put down the ginger tea.
"Ginger tea to warm up, drink it while it's hot." His eyebrows and eyes were curved, as if there had never been a break tonight.
Cui Chengyan looked at his good-natured smiling face, and was so angry that he insisted on singing against him.
"I won't drink it." Young Master Cui pushed the ginger tea forward, almost spilling it.
Wen Liang sat down in front of him, looked at him tiltedly: "Why?"
The tone is gentle, as if he is making trouble with an awkward child.
When Cui was five years old, Young Master Cui liked this very much, but——
Not what it used to be.
"If you don't drink, don't drink. There are so many reasons."
He didn't feel that he was making trouble for no reason at all, he was just being the truest self.
The real young master Cui has always been that those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. It is useless to talk about things he doesn't like.
But Wen Liang still said: "It's very cold in winter nights, and it's the most taboo to catch a cold."
He put the ginger tea back in front of Cui Chengyan and looked at him: "Drink it, it's good for your health."
"Don't drink." Push away.
"Drink." Move back.
"Don't drink!" Pushed further.
"Let's drink it." Put it back again.
……
The two of them seemed to be caught in a tug-of-war, falling on Jiang Cha's side.
Seeing that the heat was almost gone, Wen Liang frowned and said, "I'll get another bowl."
It was too late to say that, just as Wen Liang got up, Cui Chengyan stood up one step ahead of him, rushed over and pressed his shoulder.
Wen Liang: "?"
Puzzled and puzzled eyes.
Cui Chengyan's face was ashen, and his tone was displeased: "Do you have to make trouble with this bowl of ginger tea?"
Wen Liang, who was pressed on the stool, looked up at him: "It's me... Is it... I can't get along with this bowl of ginger tea?"
He spit out this sentence lightly, as if he was questioning a disobedient child.
"Wen Liang!" Cui Chengyan was forced to panic, and the strength in his hands increased a little. "You know what I'm talking about!"
The shoulder was painfully pressed by the stunned young master Cui, Wen Liang only glanced at it, then raised his hand and covered it.
"I know." He whispered, turned over Cui Chengyan's palm, and interlocked with him.
It turned out that there was thin sweat on his palms, Wen Liang thought.
Cui Chengyan looked at him in disbelief: "I gave you a chance!"
In that deserted alley, under the witness of howling north wind.
Cui Chengyan finally let go of Wen Liang.
"I don't want to wait any longer." He turned his head and his eyes fell on the debris at the end of the alley.
"Separate or unite... When the birthday is over, if you don't say anything, I will make the decision for you."
"Liangliang, as I said, I have never been a gentleman."
……
The fourth watch on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month is destined to be unusual.
Wen Liang looked at Cui Chengyan who had everything written on his face, and finally understood what he said earlier——
Young Master Cui, who is calm in dealing with things in front of outsiders and strategizing, has ever lost control like this?That is to say, Cui Chengyan is extremely nervous and patient when it comes to matters related to him.
Neither Xiaoyu nor Cui An dared to persuade him to drink ginger tea, because they knew that he hated the taste of ginger slices and were afraid of making him angry.
Even when Xiao Yu just called to serve Cui Chengyan, didn't he look timid and panicked?
Cui Chengyan is the treasure of Cui's family, no one dares to present things he doesn't like.
"I know." Wen Liang repeated softly. "I know."
It's just...it's too late.
The feelings suppressed in the bottom of my heart finally broke out, and I had the courage to face the sun.
He could no longer convince himself to ignore this hard-won treasure, so he hugged Cui Chengyan.
"I... can I still... have a chance?"
He pressed against Cui Chengyan's chest, and heard the thunderous heartbeat.
Cui Chengyan was stunned, his hands hanging in the air were at a loss.
"Actually... I like you too." Wen Liang's muffled voice stripped him from his own thoughts, making him feel what is called a sudden surprise.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I like you!"
In order not to show his timidity, Wen Liang straightened his back on purpose, grabbed Cui Chengyan by the collar, and said fiercely: "Your ears are frozen, right? Then I'll say it again! I——hi—oh!"
What responded to him were warm lips and a hug that never let go.
It was wilder than the kiss in the alley, the slightly cold tongue dexterously touched his heartstrings, and the gradually warming lips pressed against him tightly, looking for the most real feeling in a burst of wanton plundering.
The entanglement between lips and teeth made Wen Liang feel as if he was about to lose control.He was drowning in such a violent storm, and the only straw he could grasp at the moment was Cui Chengyan.
Wen Liang couldn't help trembling, tiny drops of water leaked from the tip of his nose.
Cui Chengyan hugged him tightly so that he would not slip down.
"Liangliang...I'm very happy..." Cui Chengyan pressed his forehead and smiled. "I'm really happy..."
Wen Liang looked at him, his eyes seemed to be filled with water vapor.
"Who isn't?" He teased, but the tips of his ears turned red.
Cui Chengyan's breathing became hot, and the extinguished stars in his eyes gradually lit up again.
"For the first time in my life, I feel that...hard work pays off..."
"This sentence...is true..."
☆
On the second day, Young Master Cui, who refused to drink ginger tea, caught typhoid as expected.
Wen Liang, who had had lip-tooth contact with him, was not much better, his throat was uncomfortable, and it hadn't reached the level of a typhoid attack.
While drinking ginger tea, he blamed Cui Chengyan for not listening to him.
Cui Chengyan, who finally got his daughter-in-law home, could only obediently admit his mistake, he sat pitifully next to Wen Liang, and pulled his sleeve: "Liangliang, I was wrong... I will drink it! Can't I drink it? "
"Be honest and wait to drink the medicine!" Wen Liang broke his hand away in disgust. "Who makes someone disobedient?"
Ginger tea is to play a preventive effect.If you really have typhoid fever, then drink ginger tea, the efficacy will be greatly reduced.
"Ah chirp!" Cui Chengyan rubbed his nose and said depressedly. "Obviously Liangliang, you delayed me from drinking ginger tea."
After the two communicated with each other, Cui Chengyan lost all scruples and spoke more and more presumptuously.
Wen Liang blushed and frowned: "Nonsense."
The person who was held in his arms was obviously him... Why is Cui Chengyan still wronged?
Young Master Cui is really not human when he is emotional.
Wen Liang felt terrified - if he hadn't been resolute, the city gate would have fallen again last night!
If he was stripped naked in the study...then how would he face those sage books in the future!
Wen Liang even felt that his short-lived ghost father who loves books like his life would get up from the grave and scold him!
"What are you looking for?" Wen Liang asked curiously as he saw Cui Chengyan sneezing profusely while touching his body.
"I'm looking for the peace talisman Liangliang gave me." Cui Chengyan said. "I was so angry at the time, I don't know where to put it."
Cui Chengyan's "too angry" irritated Wen Liang, making him a little guilty.
The child has been sincerely held in front of his eyes, and he is still suspicious of other people's intentions, which is really bad.
"Don't look for it, lose it if you lose it." Wen Liang cleared his throat, and took out a brocade box from his cuff. "Here is an even better gift for you."
Cui Chengyan opened it and saw that it was a chain made of red rope.
"This is... a bracelet?" He picked it up and looked, with a subtle expression. "Looking at the length...it doesn't seem like it."
Although he is a big man, he is still a handsome man, wearing a bracelet is a bit strange, but!This is from Liangliang!Sent by my wife!He must support unconditionally!Must wear!
Wen Liang coughed lightly, "It's on your feet."
"The thin red rope was obtained from the Wenchang Temple. With the blessing of the Emperor Wenchang, I will definitely be able to go to high school." He explained. "And there is a saying in my mother's hometown that the chains made of thin red ropes are tied to the feet to ensure safe entry and exit."
Of course, when Wen's mother weaved the thin red rope for Wen Liang, she also said that the thin red rope woven by the girl's house meant a token of love, and if the man accepted it, it meant that they were in love and would start dating.
Mother Wen tied the thin red rope around Wen Liang's ankle, and joked: "I don't know how many thin red ropes A Liang will receive when he grows up?"
……
It must be impossible to tell Cui Chengyan about these things, if he knows, he will definitely be embarrassed.
"Okay." Wen Liang tied the thin red rope around Cui Chengyan's ankle and smiled. "In this way, no one will laugh at you for being a big man and wearing girls' things."
The thin red rope he wove for Cui Chengyan was also strung with broken jade, which was much more delicate than the one his mother wove for him.
"It's okay, it's a gift from my daughter-in-law, even if it's a face-lifting one, I'll wear it!" Cui Chengyan, who is happy and blooming, looks like the silly son of a landlord's family.
Wen Liang rolled his eyes at him: "You know poverty."
Cui Chengyan laughed, and inadvertently glanced at the brocade box containing the thin red string, suddenly slapped his head, and shouted: "Oops! How did I forget this!"
It was almost four o'clock, and Xiaoyu looked forward to Wen Liang and Cui Chengyan back.
Xiaoyu was used to doing supper business before, and she can still hold on from dozing off.
But Cui An is pitiful - he is already fast asleep at this moment, but the young master and the young mistress have not come back yet, how can he, a servant, dare to rest assured to sleep?
Xiaoyu always told him not to worry, just sit down and wait obediently.But he is the young master's personal servant, the kind who can't leave him at every step... When the young master was in Qingzhou City, when did the young master go out without him?But since coming to the capital...

Cui Chengyan stood still in the courtyard, nodded to her: "Send it to my study."
After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the study room without turning his head.
"It's so late...does the young master still study hard..."
Xiaoyu was very surprised, she looked at Wen Liang again: "The young master..."
Wen Liang pinched the center of his brows, seeming troubled.
"I'll go to the kitchen with you."
He also didn't even look back.
Xiaoyu wondered in her heart: Before going out at night, the young master was still thinking about the young master's taboos, whether to eat this or not to love, how much care should be taken.Why did you go out for a while and come back like a stranger?
"If you add more firewood, it will go out."
Wen Liang saw that Xiaoyu had been adding firewood to the stove, looking distraught, so he kindly squatted down to help her take out the extra firewood.
Xiaoyu just woke up like a big dream, realizing that she was overthinking the problem.
"I'm sorry! Young Master!"
She hastily rearranged the firewood in the stove, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a red mark on Wen Liang's neck.
this... this is...
I have been a maid in Cui's mansion for so long, I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs run away.The mark on the young master's neck is clearly the hickey from the kiss!
Xiaoyu's cheeks suddenly turned crimson. She had already guessed that the young master and young master would definitely do something outside, but she never thought it would be this!

"Yes, that is... unless you figure it out yourself, no one can try to pull you back."
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, she looked at Wen Liang anxiously: "My lord... Let me say this... Do you understand?"
Wen Liang didn't speak, and frowned slightly.
Xiaoyu swallowed nervously, thinking that she had said something wrong: "I! I'm talking nonsense! Young Master, please don't take it to heart! Hey, recently, Young Master has been so kind to me that I'm getting carried away... Young Master, if you are not happy, just Scold me and I will vent your anger on you..."
Xiaoyu always has a way to liven up a serious scene.
Wen Liang's slightly frowned brows loosened suddenly, and he smiled: "I'm not angry because of you, why did I scold you to vent my anger?"
Only then did Xiaoyu breathe a sigh of relief. She caught a glimpse of the ginger tea on the stove boiling, and hurriedly said, "Hey! I almost forgot about it! Young master, come and have a drink first, I'll add sugar right away."
Wen Liang looked at the ginger tea, nodded and said, "I'll send it to the young master later."
Xiaoyu looked at him in surprise.
"Let's make a delicious meal tomorrow." His eyes fell on a table of semi-finished products, and his tone was relaxed. "It's cold, and the dishes don't go bad that easily. You're right, all your hard work should not be wasted."
"Right?"
☆
Cui Chengyan didn't plan to turn on the lamp to read at night, but because he was upset and didn't want to lie on the bed tossing and turning, he let himself go in the study.
"Master, it's time for you to rest." Cui An didn't dare to disturb him, only dared to speak outside the door.
"Go to sleep," Cui Chengyan said. "I want to read the book again."
The young master didn't sleep, how could Cui An dare to rest.
He was pacing outside the door, and when he was about to say something to persuade the young master, he saw Cui Chengyan suddenly opened the door and said to him: "Go to sleep, this is an order, don't refuse."
"But……"
A tangled expression appeared on Cui An's face.
"Why, don't you even listen to the young master?" Cui Chengyan deliberately frightened him. "If you do this again, I won't take you to the Zhuangyuan Inn in the future."
Unemployment alarm bells rang wildly in my heart——
It's over, the young master must be tired of him.
Just when Cui An turned his head three times, a hand was placed on his shoulder abruptly.
"Go to sleep," Wen Liang said with a smile while holding ginger tea. "I'm with the young master."
Cui An was relieved to go to sleep.
But Cui Chengyan didn't give Wen Liang any face at all, and said coldly, "Who wants you to accompany me?"
However, he said so, but when he turned to enter the house, he didn't close the door smoothly.
Wen Liang obediently followed behind him, and only after he sat down at the table did he put down the ginger tea.
"Ginger tea to warm up, drink it while it's hot." His eyebrows and eyes were curved, as if there had never been a break tonight.
Cui Chengyan looked at his good-natured smiling face, and was so angry that he insisted on singing against him.
"I won't drink it." Young Master Cui pushed the ginger tea forward, almost spilling it.
Wen Liang sat down in front of him, looked at him tiltedly: "Why?"
The tone is gentle, as if he is making trouble with an awkward child.
When Cui was five years old, Young Master Cui liked this very much, but——
Not what it used to be.
"If you don't drink, don't drink. There are so many reasons."
He didn't feel that he was making trouble for no reason at all, he was just being the truest self.
The real young master Cui has always been that those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. It is useless to talk about things he doesn't like.
But Wen Liang still said: "It's very cold in winter nights, and it's the most taboo to catch a cold."
He put the ginger tea back in front of Cui Chengyan and looked at him: "Drink it, it's good for your health."
"Don't drink." Push away.
"Drink." Move back.
"Don't drink!" Pushed further.
"Let's drink it." Put it back again.
……
The two of them seemed to be caught in a tug-of-war, falling on Jiang Cha's side.
Seeing that the heat was almost gone, Wen Liang frowned and said, "I'll get another bowl."
It was too late to say that, just as Wen Liang got up, Cui Chengyan stood up one step ahead of him, rushed over and pressed his shoulder.
Wen Liang: "?"
Puzzled and puzzled eyes.
Cui Chengyan's face was ashen, and his tone was displeased: "Do you have to make trouble with this bowl of ginger tea?"
Wen Liang, who was pressed on the stool, looked up at him: "It's me... Is it... I can't get along with this bowl of ginger tea?"
He spit out this sentence lightly, as if he was questioning a disobedient child.
"Wen Liang!" Cui Chengyan was forced to panic, and the strength in his hands increased a little. "You know what I'm talking about!"
The shoulder was painfully pressed by the stunned young master Cui, Wen Liang only glanced at it, then raised his hand and covered it.
"I know." He whispered, turned over Cui Chengyan's palm, and interlocked with him.
It turned out that there was thin sweat on his palms, Wen Liang thought.
Cui Chengyan looked at him in disbelief: "I gave you a chance!"
In that deserted alley, under the witness of howling north wind.
Cui Chengyan finally let go of Wen Liang.
"I don't want to wait any longer." He turned his head and his eyes fell on the debris at the end of the alley.
"Separate or unite... When the birthday is over, if you don't say anything, I will make the decision for you."
"Liangliang, as I said, I have never been a gentleman."
……
The fourth watch on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month is destined to be unusual.
Wen Liang looked at Cui Chengyan who had everything written on his face, and finally understood what he said earlier——
Young Master Cui, who is calm in dealing with things in front of outsiders and strategizing, has ever lost control like this?That is to say, Cui Chengyan is extremely nervous and patient when it comes to matters related to him.
Neither Xiaoyu nor Cui An dared to persuade him to drink ginger tea, because they knew that he hated the taste of ginger slices and were afraid of making him angry.
Even when Xiao Yu just called to serve Cui Chengyan, didn't he look timid and panicked?
Cui Chengyan is the treasure of Cui's family, no one dares to present things he doesn't like.
"I know." Wen Liang repeated softly. "I know."
It's just...it's too late.
The feelings suppressed in the bottom of my heart finally broke out, and I had the courage to face the sun.
He could no longer convince himself to ignore this hard-won treasure, so he hugged Cui Chengyan.
"I... can I still... have a chance?"
He pressed against Cui Chengyan's chest, and heard the thunderous heartbeat.
Cui Chengyan was stunned, his hands hanging in the air were at a loss.
"Actually... I like you too." Wen Liang's muffled voice stripped him from his own thoughts, making him feel what is called a sudden surprise.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I like you!"
In order not to show his timidity, Wen Liang straightened his back on purpose, grabbed Cui Chengyan by the collar, and said fiercely: "Your ears are frozen, right? Then I'll say it again! I——hi—oh!"
What responded to him were warm lips and a hug that never let go.
It was wilder than the kiss in the alley, the slightly cold tongue dexterously touched his heartstrings, and the gradually warming lips pressed against him tightly, looking for the most real feeling in a burst of wanton plundering.
The entanglement between lips and teeth made Wen Liang feel as if he was about to lose control.He was drowning in such a violent storm, and the only straw he could grasp at the moment was Cui Chengyan.
Wen Liang couldn't help trembling, tiny drops of water leaked from the tip of his nose.
Cui Chengyan hugged him tightly so that he would not slip down.
"Liangliang...I'm very happy..." Cui Chengyan pressed his forehead and smiled. "I'm really happy..."
Wen Liang looked at him, his eyes seemed to be filled with water vapor.
"Who isn't?" He teased, but the tips of his ears turned red.
Cui Chengyan's breathing became hot, and the extinguished stars in his eyes gradually lit up again.
"For the first time in my life, I feel that...hard work pays off..."
"This sentence...is true..."
☆
On the second day, Young Master Cui, who refused to drink ginger tea, caught typhoid as expected.
Wen Liang, who had had lip-tooth contact with him, was not much better, his throat was uncomfortable, and it hadn't reached the level of a typhoid attack.
While drinking ginger tea, he blamed Cui Chengyan for not listening to him.
Cui Chengyan, who finally got his daughter-in-law home, could only obediently admit his mistake, he sat pitifully next to Wen Liang, and pulled his sleeve: "Liangliang, I was wrong... I will drink it! Can't I drink it? "
"Be honest and wait to drink the medicine!" Wen Liang broke his hand away in disgust. "Who makes someone disobedient?"
Ginger tea is to play a preventive effect.If you really have typhoid fever, then drink ginger tea, the efficacy will be greatly reduced.
"Ah chirp!" Cui Chengyan rubbed his nose and said depressedly. "Obviously Liangliang, you delayed me from drinking ginger tea."
After the two communicated with each other, Cui Chengyan lost all scruples and spoke more and more presumptuously.
Wen Liang blushed and frowned: "Nonsense."
The person who was held in his arms was obviously him... Why is Cui Chengyan still wronged?
Young Master Cui is really not human when he is emotional.
Wen Liang felt terrified - if he hadn't been resolute, the city gate would have fallen again last night!
If he was stripped naked in the study...then how would he face those sage books in the future!
Wen Liang even felt that his short-lived ghost father who loves books like his life would get up from the grave and scold him!
"What are you looking for?" Wen Liang asked curiously as he saw Cui Chengyan sneezing profusely while touching his body.
"I'm looking for the peace talisman Liangliang gave me." Cui Chengyan said. "I was so angry at the time, I don't know where to put it."
Cui Chengyan's "too angry" irritated Wen Liang, making him a little guilty.
The child has been sincerely held in front of his eyes, and he is still suspicious of other people's intentions, which is really bad.
"Don't look for it, lose it if you lose it." Wen Liang cleared his throat, and took out a brocade box from his cuff. "Here is an even better gift for you."
Cui Chengyan opened it and saw that it was a chain made of red rope.
"This is... a bracelet?" He picked it up and looked, with a subtle expression. "Looking at the length...it doesn't seem like it."
Although he is a big man, he is still a handsome man, wearing a bracelet is a bit strange, but!This is from Liangliang!Sent by my wife!He must support unconditionally!Must wear!
Wen Liang coughed lightly, "It's on your feet."
"The thin red rope was obtained from the Wenchang Temple. With the blessing of the Emperor Wenchang, I will definitely be able to go to high school." He explained. "And there is a saying in my mother's hometown that the chains made of thin red ropes are tied to the feet to ensure safe entry and exit."
Of course, when Wen's mother weaved the thin red rope for Wen Liang, she also said that the thin red rope woven by the girl's house meant a token of love, and if the man accepted it, it meant that they were in love and would start dating.
Mother Wen tied the thin red rope around Wen Liang's ankle, and joked: "I don't know how many thin red ropes A Liang will receive when he grows up?"
……
It must be impossible to tell Cui Chengyan about these things, if he knows, he will definitely be embarrassed.
"Okay." Wen Liang tied the thin red rope around Cui Chengyan's ankle and smiled. "In this way, no one will laugh at you for being a big man and wearing girls' things."
The thin red rope he wove for Cui Chengyan was also strung with broken jade, which was much more delicate than the one his mother wove for him.
"It's okay, it's a gift from my daughter-in-law, even if it's a face-lifting one, I'll wear it!" Cui Chengyan, who is happy and blooming, looks like the silly son of a landlord's family.
Wen Liang rolled his eyes at him: "You know poverty."
Cui Chengyan laughed, and inadvertently glanced at the brocade box containing the thin red string, suddenly slapped his head, and shouted: "Oops! How did I forget this!"
