Liandong's hand trembled, and he slowly lifted it to the back of that person, but he clenched his fist as if he suddenly woke up, and hastily retracted it.

No - I have endured so much, just to enable that person to live a good life.If you stretch out your hand now, once all previous efforts are wasted, the sufferings and pains you have suffered before will be meaningless.

But if he just watched that person cry silently... how could he bear to watch it?

The fists clenched tighter and tighter, and finally there was a faint tremor.Liandong's eyes were almost dripping with blood, but she still just sat there motionless, watching the man's thin shoulders gradually stop trembling, and slowly calmed down, returning to a tired silence and peace.

"Feel sorry……"

After a long time, Mu Qiu finally got up and wiped away all the tears, but his eyes were still faintly red, and he lowered his eyes and forced a smile: "I'm laughing..."

"When everyone can't hold on, I always feel that shedding a few tears is not a bad thing."

Liandong lowered her head and spoke slowly, and was about to say something more, when Mu Qiu's eyes suddenly fell on his chest.Sighing very lightly, he raised his hand and grabbed his wrist: "Don't move any more, treat the wound. Where did you get hurt, and is it serious?"

Liandong couldn't help being slightly startled, followed his gaze to her chest, only to realize that there was a faint blood seeping through the clothes, she shook her head in a trance and smiled wryly: "I haven't even felt... It's not a multiple injury, I'll go and come back, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left the room, leaving Mu Qiu quietly sitting on the couch, and sat there in a daze for a long while, finally a very sad smile appeared in his eyes.

Lian Dong really didn't leave for a long time, and came back after changing into new clothes, walking hastily as if she was afraid of missing something.Seeing that the man was still sitting on the side of the couch, he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over to sit on the side of the couch at a slow pace: "Why are you so energetic? I heard that you are weak and weak, don't you feel sleepy?"

"It's not... just thinking about something, and waiting for you to come back by the way."

Mu Qiu shook his head and smiled lightly, and replied in a gentle voice, looking at his face that didn't seem to be pale because of the open wound, he was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "If it's possible... can I take the liberty to ask, are you really How did you get hurt?"

After all, it came in a hurry, and I never expected Mu Qiu to ask such detailed questions.Liandong couldn't help hesitating for a while, pursed her lips in embarrassment, and finally had to shake her head and said: "I'm sorry to tell you..."

"It doesn't matter. It's a bit presumptuous for me to ask this, so I don't have to say it."

Mu Qiu responded with a slight smile, shook his head slightly, closed his eyes and leaned back quietly: "At that time, I heard they said that the prince was assassinated and injured, and then I saw you. Subconsciously, I felt that ——You seem to have something to do with this matter..."

Lian Dong felt her throat was dry, swallowed with difficulty, and felt her whole heart hang high: "You...why do you think so?"

"It's nothing, maybe it's just a vague premonition."

Mu Qiu smiled lightly, and replied in a gentle voice, and the brows showed a little tiredness and weakness that could not be supported.He closed his eyes and leaned back on the soft pillow, and suddenly moved inward, leaving most of the bed empty: "Come on, it's very spacious here, it's not difficult to squeeze one person in."

"……it is good."

No matter how hard it is to control the emotions in his chest, even though he didn't understand what the man's intentions were, Lian Dong made up his mind to respond.He took off his clothes neatly and leaned on the couch, then turned to look at the people beside him: "How about this, do you feel crowded?"

There are earth dragons coiled under the warm couch in Yunhuihou's mansion, and it can also be set up on the table on weekdays for people to sit on it to keep warm, and it is more than enough to sleep three or four people.Mu Qiu smiled slightly and shook his head, propped himself up and lay down slowly, turned his back to him, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "If you want to leave tomorrow, please wake me up first, is that okay?"

Liandong's breathing was slightly sluggish, and he felt some ominous premonition inexplicably, but he waved it away as hard as he could, and smiled reluctantly: "Okay, if I want to leave, I must wake you up first. As long as you don't think it's too late." I'll just disturb your sleep."

"how come……"

Mu Qiu smiled faintly, closed his eyes quietly, and said softly after a long time: "Thank you..."

Liandong's body trembled slightly in the thick night, and slowly clenched his fists without showing any traces. He forced a small smile and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, but I should thank you. If I didn't have you, I would almost You're going to be homeless."

Mu Qiu didn't respond any more, and his breathing gradually slowed down.Liandong didn't know if he heard that sentence clearly, but she didn't dare to ask again, she just lay down quietly for a while, then couldn't help being tired anymore, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, the sky was already dawn.

Liandong rubbed his eyes and propped himself up, while the people beside him were still sleeping peacefully, but they instinctively moved closer to him.

Inexplicably, there was some extremely soft and sour feeling in my heart, Liandong blinked her eyes vigorously, pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, raised her hand to wipe away the mist in her eyes, and carefully moved off the bed.

Mu Qiu is weak and sleeps more deeply.He had been sitting in the room for a while before the man finally opened his eyes in a daze, and slowly raised his body.

Remembering Mu Qiu's instructions at that time, Liandong hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said in a slow voice: "Are you awake? Did you sleep well?"

"It's much better than before."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head and answered slowly, raised his hand and gently rubbed his forehead: "I haven't slept so deeply for a long time, it seems that I still had some dreams, but I always can't remember that the dreams are all what..."

"Is it still a dream? I saw that you slept peacefully, and I thought you were fine..."

There was a faint feeling of sadness in Liandong's heart, and he reluctantly responded with a smile, but Mu Qiu suddenly shook his head and slowed down his voice: "It's not the original dream. Although the scene is very vague, I can't remember it after the fact. I saw something, but I still feel inexplicably that it should be an extremely warm and precious memory. It's a pity——when I open my eyes, I forget everything."

As he said that, there was a slight smile in his eyes, he shook his head and said slowly: "I suddenly remembered when I was a child, I clearly liked to eat, but I was always reluctant to touch it, so I had to save it up and keep it. I will eat it at the end. But even though I was holding it so carefully, it was suddenly knocked over by someone and fell into the dust..."

He spoke slowly, but Lian Dong's breathing became more and more rapid, and his hands clenched tighter, trying his best to hide the pain in his eyes.

He also remembered what Mu Qiu said, but the protagonist was not Mu Qiu, but himself—at that time he especially liked blind pastries, and he was reluctant to eat them every time, so he had to wrap them in a handkerchief and hide them in his arms. Here, wait until you go to bed at night to eat secretly.But who would have thought that one day, the eldest prince would deliberately make things difficult for him and slap the dim sum into the dust. He was still ignorant at that time, and even cried for a long time because of it.

He didn't know how deeply he cared about it, so that the man had almost forgotten everything, but he could still remember the bits and pieces that belonged to him, and even remembered those things in himself.For a long time, Senior Brother Mu Qiuyi guided him all the way. Without that person, maybe he would not have been able to grow up smoothly in that man-eating palace in his previous life, let alone what happened afterward.

Dazed in a daze, suddenly noticed the man's gaze, Liandong suddenly realized, raised his head quickly and said: "What's the matter--did I lose my mind?"

"It's not really counted, it's just that he suddenly started to remember something with a serious face."

Mu Qiu couldn't help chuckling, shook his head helplessly, replied in a gentle voice, and looked at him curiously: "What's the matter, but what's strange about what I said?"

"It's nothing—it's just that I suddenly remembered that when I was young, it was almost exactly what you said."

Liandong forced a smile, shook her head lightly, and sighed very softly after a while: "Sometimes I can't help but think, if there is a chance to go back to that time, it would be great."

"Most people are like this. When they were young, they looked forward to growing up as soon as possible, but when they really grew up, they began to miss those times that could never come back..."

Mu Qiu sighed lightly, propped himself up and sat up a bit, with a gentle and gentle smile on his face again, looking at him patiently and saying, "What else do you need to be busy with? I remember you said, During the day, Lord Hou still has to send you to do things, don't delay because of me."

"There are some things."

Liandong's eyes flickered slightly, she answered in a low voice, coughed very lightly, then pursed her lips and said slowly: "I won't be away for long, there are some things I need to go out to do, and I'll come back when I'm done. Do you have any snacks you want to eat? I'll bring you back when I go out..."

"It's nothing—you don't worry, I'm fine."

Mu Qiu smiled and shook his head, replied warmly, and laughed jokingly: "When you didn't come, I lived like this alone, and I couldn't live without my company... ...You should be more careful, don't let those little people with ulterior motives get hurt. You need to know that a hundred secrets will eventually be neglected, especially if you are not weak like you, many times you actually lose because of negligence .”

Liandong listened to his instructions patiently, without any hint of impatience, but nodded earnestly: "Thank you, I will keep it in mind."

After finishing speaking, he straightened his clothes and stood up, and carefully tucked the quilt for the man.He lingered by the couch for a while before finally leaving quickly and hurried out the door.

Mu Qiu sat quietly for a while, then subconsciously raised her hand and landed on the empty bed, with a very gentle and helpless smile in her eyes.
