I heard you want to let me down

Originally, by Gu Nian's side, there will be two people left at any time, always on guard.But now that Rong Jin is here, it's not appropriate to keep others.Anyway, Rong Jin's martial arts are high enough, the two of them will leave alone tomorrow, and they don't care about tonight.They just need to stay in the rooms on both sides.

Feng Hengyue signaled everyone to leave, and a smile flashed in his eyes when he closed the door.His Highness was taciturn all the way, copying scriptures for his mother all day long, and he ate less and less food. The people who were obviously under twenty had a somewhat lonely face.Now that Mr. Rong is chasing after him, His Highness should be more or less happy.

After the door was closed with a "da", the atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange and silent.

Rong Jin stood up, walked to the water basin, used the potion to remove the disguise on his face, and turned back into a vivid and beautiful boy.

Gu Nian sat by the bed, only looking at Rong Jin silently.There were only the two of them left in the room, he didn't know what to say to Rong Jin for a moment.

Rong Jin wiped off the drops of water on his face: "Tomorrow I have to get up early, so Anian should go to bed early."

Gu Nian stood up and let the bed out: "A Jin, go to bed first. I'll sleep later."

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows, it was actually quite late now: "You are still not asleep, what's the matter?"

Gu Nian whispered: "I want to copy the scriptures."

It was only then that Rong Jin noticed that the table in the middle of the room was covered with a layer of white silk, on which a thick stack of rice paper was pressed with a paperweight.The top one is half written.Rong Jin glanced at it, it was "Ksitigarbha Sutra".

"My aunt believed in Buddhism before she was alive." Gu Nian looked at the stack of rice paper, and his heart was like a sharp knife, "I was not filial, and I failed to serve my aunt before she was alive. Kneeling and filial piety. I can only copy a few scriptures for A Niang on the road, and enshrine them in the temple when the time comes."

Rong Jin suddenly remembered what Xiao Er said before: "Have you not eaten yet?"

Gu Nian nodded: "I'll eat after I finish copying today's scriptures."

Without saying a word, Rong Jin turned around and went out the door, quickly came up with a lunch box and put it on the small table on the couch by the window: "You eat, I'll copy it."

Gu Nian opened her eyes wide: "This is not appropriate..."

Rong Jin had already turned around, and went downstairs with the water basin in his hand.After a while, he came back with clean water: "Why isn't it suitable?"

"I even took the words for you. Is there anything in this world that I'm not suitable to do for you?" Rong Jin put down the basin and said calmly, "Didn't you say that we don't distinguish between each other. Besides, tomorrow morning We have to hurry, we have to rest early."

Rong Jin cleaned his hands carefully, found the incense box, took out another incense and lit it, then sat down, glanced at Gu Nian before picking up the pen: "Eat quickly."

Gu Nian opened the food box, and there was only a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickled side dishes inside. It was very light, but it was to his liking.He kept his filial piety for his mother, and he should have eaten as lightly as possible.

Gu Nian sat on the couch with the porridge bowl in his hand, and couldn't help turning his face to look at Rong Jin.

The young man under the light is not as flamboyant and free as he used to be, his brows and eyes are a little softer, he sits well-behaved, his figure is straight, and he writes seriously with every stroke.

Rong Jin is a person who is very sensitive to the gaze of others, often as long as Gu Nian looks at him for a while, Rong Jin will subconsciously raise his head to look over.But this time, Gu Nian's gaze focused on his profile, but Rong Jin never looked up.The candlelight in the inn was not very good, the boy always smiled with his eyes slightly squinted, and the expression on his face was almost solemn and solemn.

This is the person I like.

Rong Jin wrote the last stroke neatly, put down the pen, and looked up to find two more lamps beside him.He couldn't help smiling.Rong Jin pressed the rice paper with a paperweight, turned to look at Gu Nian: "Sleep?"

Gu Nian responded, sat on the edge of the bed, and said in a low voice, "Ah Jin sleeps inside or outside?"

He was in the palace most of the time, Rong Jin went to visit him in the afternoon and left the palace in the evening.Occasionally, he would go out to play for a few nights and stay at Rong's house. Mother Rong reserved a room for him in Rong Jin's yard, and he has been obediently sleeping next to Rong Jin.This was the first time they had spent the night together since that mountain hut engagement.

Rong Jin stretched his stiff waist: "I sleep outside."

In case of an enemy attack, Rong Jin can react faster by sleeping outside.

After a simple wash, Rong Jin blew out the lamp, lifted the quilt, and lay down in his clothes.The bed in this inn is not big, and the two of them are almost side by side.In the past, even if you were walking on a small road and saw no one around, you couldn't help holding hands or even kissing.In the afternoon when the two of them spent together, Rong Jin would often lie in Gu Nian's arms, read a book, look at the sky, or simply do nothing, and the two of them chatted about useless gossip.

This reunion, in the dark room, within a short distance, you can vaguely feel the warmth of each other, but there seems to be an invisible wall between the two of them, and the intimacy of the past has been separated without a trace.

After a while, Gu Nian asked softly: "A Jin, do you blame me?" Blame me for hiding from you, lying to you, blame me for wanting to go back.

Rong Jin pressed the quilt: "If I blame you, I won't come."

"Go to sleep, Anian."

Gu Nian stopped talking, the air became quiet, Rong Jin turned his back to Gu Nian: [Brother Tong, are you there? 】

The system's voice sounded very vigilant: [Not here. 】

Rong Jin's voice sounded very kind: [Don't be like this, Brother Tong.Aren't we good brothers? 】

The system smiled "hehe": [Don't talk to me about these useless things.Didn’t I tell you everything, can that path cross the Yuxi Pass?What do you want to do again? 】

With Rong Jin's status, he looks like a lady of a great family. He has never left the capital for [-] or [-] years, and the farthest he has traveled is wandering around in the suburbs near the capital.He didn't get involved in the military, and if there was such a road, the Rong family's father and brother wouldn't mention it to him. Where did he find the small road to cross the Yuxi Pass? Naturally, it was kindly sponsored by the system.

Rong Jin smiled embarrassedly: [Although I have good hearing, after all, they are also first-class masters.If the tail is far behind, I may not be able to hear all of them. 】

[Then what can you do? 】

Rong Jin looked like two good brothers: [I can't help it, but Brother Tong, you can.Isn't your possession the same as mine? 】

The system was inexplicably sad and angry: [I knew that nothing good happened to me when you remembered it!You get a partner, you guard your family and country, that's all your own business.Why do you always call me out of energy? 】

Being a guide is not enough, I also have to be a tester for you?

Rong Jin disagreed: 【Why is this my business?Isn't our system task called "dross"?It was originally to accompany the protagonist through difficulties, right?If he dies here, isn't it all over?At that time, what else to do, just be a widow. 】

The system sneered: [So didn't I give you a way?What does Shao Guo care about me? 】

Rong Jin softened his tone: [Brother Tong, please help me. 】

Rong Jin talked about everything, but the system finally let go.

[Brother Tong, thank you. 】

The system's voice suddenly suppressed: [Host, have you ever thought about leaving with Gu Nian? 】

【Gu Nian believes in you so much, she is willing to go with you alone.He doesn't practice martial arts, so as long as you leave these people who protect him, you can take him far away, and you don't have to worry about family, country and friendship anymore. 】

Rong Jin laughed: 【You mean, let me force him to take him away?Then who am I? 】

The system voice is faint: [You haven't asked him, how do you know he doesn't want to go with you?To me, Gu Nian doesn't look like someone with high ambitions. 】

[What does this have to do with ambition? ] Rong Jin gathered the quilt in front of him and closed his eyes, 【There are some things that you can avoid just because you don't have the ambition. 】

He was born as the first prince, and thinking that position was a matter of course.What's more, without ambition, there is blood feud.So many people have worked so hard for you, sacrifices and sufferings go hand in hand, if you are in a different place, Rong Jin will crawl back even if you crawl.If Gu Nian wanted to leave everything behind because he fell in love with Rong Jin, he would actually look down on Gu Nian.

[Host, just now Gu Nian asked you if you blame him, do you really not blame him? 】

[What is he to blame?Blame him for hiding it from me? ] Rong Jin sneered, 【I don't blame him. 】

No wonder really.Just like that path, no matter how much Rong Jin trusted Gu Nian, he didn't dare to tell Gu Nian where that path was.Because he loves this person, he can entrust his life without hesitation, and he can only blame himself for being blind when he dies, but he can't entrust other people's lives to Gu Nian.The same is true for Gu Nian.

Rong Jin and the system were talking intermittently, the night was already very dark, and sleepiness slowly came up.

Just about to fall asleep, Gu Nian suddenly heard an uneasy flipping sound, accompanied by a small but frightened sleep talking.

When Rong Jin woke up and was about to listen carefully, Gu Nian sat up suddenly: "Don't drink!"

Panting heavily, he leaned against the head of the bed. After a while, he noticed Rong Jin who was also sitting up, and said stiffly, "A Jin, did I wake you up?"

"No, I wasn't asleep at all. What's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine, I just want to sit by myself for a while. Ah Jin, go to sleep."

"I feel a little cold, you can lie down with me."

"it is good."

Gu Nian lay down stiffly. Originally, the two were lying side by side with a clear distinction, each sleeping on a quilt.Now Rong Jin folded the two quilts, and then leaned over to wrap around Gu Nian's waist.Gu Nian was very stiff, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, Rong Jin opened his hands and smoothed them out one by one, his fingers were cold, but Rong Jin felt the cold sweat on his hands.Rong Jin stroked his fingers again and again, and slowly, Gu Nian's hand relaxed, and he put Rong Jin's wrist in it.

In the darkness, Gu Nian suddenly said: "I know, because of what happened back then, she has been brooding about it all the time, thinking that she has caused me to suffer. But I really don't blame her. If I was willing to trade her life for my future, I would I will not agree to leave Chen Country."

Rong Jin didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"I already had a plan at the time. I've already figured it out. I can go back! Just to prevent me from getting involved with ghosts and gods, just because she wanted to use that cursed star to get rid of the most threatening Her enemy. She knew that he was drugging her, but she didn't avoid it at all, just waiting for the cup of wine on the national birthday!"

"It's all for me."

"My aunt," Gu Nian's voice paused uncontrollably before continuing, "She was afraid that the man would really refuse to call me back. Before she died, she took a deep breath and said her last words to all the civil and military officials present. The official said that she must have her only son close the coffin for her, otherwise she will die in peace. It has been a month now, and her coffin is still not closed."

In the darkness, Rong Jin hugged him tightly: "I'll take you back. Ah Nian, that road is very fast."
