Jinling, thousands of miles away, sent home letters, two letters in total.
Du Yue excitedly opened his own letter, then stared at the letter in his hand, read it back and forth three or four times as if he were illiterate, and finally went to him with a broken face and another letter addressed to Su Shiyu. cousin.
Su Shiyu had just finished handling the daily affairs of the Censor Desk and was looking at the documents in the study of the Su residence. Although the relationship between him and Chu Mingyun is well known to you because of a letter from the court, Su Shiyu will still go back to the mansion from time to time. Books used. Chu Mingyun mentioned several times that he had to move everything into the palace and stay in the palace completely. Su Shiyu shook his head and said it was inappropriate, so that every time Chu Mingyun came to the palace to look for him, he would stand in front of the door and stare at him. For a moment, in Su Bai's words: "Your Majesty can't wait to seal the expression of our Su Mansion, son!"
Du Yue handed the letter over, saw that Su Shiyu just smiled after reading it, and couldn't help asking: "Cousin, what did my mother write to you, I didn't mention you and the surname Chu... The two of you... Is it the matter?"
Su Shiyu received the letter, looked up at him with a distressed face, and asked without answering, "What did my aunt write to you?"
"I... ugh..." Du Yue scratched his head, "My mother asked me to go back and get married, and then I'll explain to you what's going on."
Su Shiyu nodded, "It's no wonder that my aunt felt that she couldn't take care of me enough to make me mess around, so she naturally wants to settle it for you as soon as possible."
"My mother said that to you? Then what do you do? You two are finally together. If something happens again, I don't even dare to think what he will do with the surname Chu."
"Don't worry about it, just send me a reply letter to my aunt when you go back to Jinling." Su Shiyu looked at Du Yue's tangled expression and couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter, don't you want to go back?"
"I... It's not that I don't want to go home, it's just..." Du Yue frowned, "I just don't want to go back and get married."
Su Shiyu glanced at him with a smile and held up the tea cup at hand, "Why don't you want to get married?"
"... I'm so old, it's too early to get married."
"You have already reached the crown, it is natural to start a family, and it is not too early compared to others."
"But cousin, haven't you been dragging it all the time?"
Su Shiyu drank the tea unhurriedly, "That's why Auntie is rushing you back now."
"..." Du Yue was speechless, and after a long while he choked out a sentence, "...that's what I said, but I still don't want to get married."
"Is there no reason?"
Du Yue scratched his head again, "I don't know, my heart is in a mess."
"You can't figure out what's on your mind, and I can't help you." Su Shiyu gave him a thoughtful look, "Or, can you ask someone else?"
The knock on the door suddenly sounded, Qin Zhao put down the half-wiped sword in confusion, got up and opened the door. Outside the door, Du Yue touched his nose and smiled dryly, "Qin Zhao, you... haven't you slept yet?"
Qin Zhao glanced at the sky that wasn't completely dark outside, "... um." He let him in, "what's the matter?"
"It's nothing," Du Yue rarely sat down honestly, "My mother wrote a letter to let me go home."
"Yeah." Qin Zhao nodded, "How many days will you stay there?"
"No," Du Yue looked at him, lowered his head again, and said in a muffled voice, "My mother asked me to go home and get married."
Qin Zhao was stunned and was speechless.
"My mother has spoken, and she definitely won't be able to run away when she gets home, but this marriage... you, what do you think?" After Du Yue finished speaking, he felt awkward again, and hurriedly added, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to find someone. Feel free to ask, after all, I have never been married…”
The more he said, the lower his voice, but there was no movement on the other side. Du Yue couldn't help but look up. Qin Zhao still couldn't see anything on his face, just pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
"Qin Zhao, you don't have to do this, it's alright, I'm just asking you, you can just accompany me and say a few words... I..." He couldn't continue, and the inexplicable nervousness and unease standing outside the door became a little colder. When he came down, he felt like it had condensed into ice slag in his heart. Du Yue closed his mouth and sat silently for a while, then suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Oh really, why am I telling you this, it's strange, whether I'm married or not... What does it have to do with you?"
He stood up and walked out, "Go to sleep, I'll go back and pack my things too."
Qin Zhao clenched his hand tightly, watching Du Yue get up and leave, watching him slowly walk to the door step by step.
The door that had just been opened was suddenly closed by an outstretched hand. Before Du Yue could react, he was hugged from behind, his head was resting on the other's chest, restrained. I couldn't turn my head, I could only hear the sound of my heartbeat, followed by a voice above my head, "...I don't want to."
"Ah?" Du Yue was stunned.
"I don't want to see you get married," his tone was still flat, but his speech was obviously faster, "and I don't want to be your good brother."
Du Yue wanted to turn his head away, but was held down on his shoulders, Qin Zhao lowered his head against the back of his neck, and continued with gritted teeth, "I don't want you to always look at others, and I don't want you to always mention Su Shiyu, Cangwu Mountain thinks this way, always thinks this way, I want you to know, but I'm afraid to let you know..."
"Qin Zhao..."
"I want you to be with me."
Du Yue was stunned, his mind was completely blank, but the ice slag in his heart warmed silently, and secretly jumped up.
I have thought of so many reasons for not wanting to get married, but it turned out that it was just because of this one, that the person who had been silently guarding him for too long was so familiar that he forgot to distinguish what kind of emotion was at play.
Qin Zhao saw that there was no response from the person in his arms for a long time, his eyes completely dimmed, he slowly let go of his hand, and stepped back a few steps, "... I'm talking nonsense, you go back."
Du Yue's back trembled, Qin Zhao heard a faint laugh, and then saw him turn around and asked, "Why are you going back, didn't you say you want to stay with me, just turned your face and let me go?"
Qin Zhao was stunned, and then heard Du Yue say again: "But have you thought about it? I have a bad temper, I'm not sensible, and I always cause trouble, so you still want to stay with me?"
Qin Zhao thought for a while, "Do you think I'm dull and boring?"
Du Yue frowned, "Sometimes you can't stand it, but you've gotten used to it after so many years."
Qin Zhao looked at him with a smile on his face, but his eyes were clearly soft, "Well, I'm used to it too."
Du Yue stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, but he couldn't hold back the smile on his lips, he simply walked back a few steps and pulled the chair, sat down facing Qin Zhao, "Okay, then it's fine, I will regret you later. Just wait and see!" He rubbed his chin again, "But I still have to go home. It seems that I have to explain to my mother together with my cousin."
"I'll accompany you." Qin Zhao subconsciously grabbed Du Yue's hand, paused, and clenched it tightly without letting go.
"Qin Zhao, my mother is the one who came out of the Su family's door. She knows martial arts. If you come back to Jinling with me, you are not afraid of her hitting you?" Du Yue asked.
Qin Zhao shook his head, "Then I want to accompany you even more."
Du Yue finally couldn't help smiling, "It's alright, hey, but you don't have to be afraid. I scare you just now. My mother is fine. I've been beaten so many times before. She saw that you were right. I'm so good, I'll definitely let the two of us go, otherwise you'll do as I say when we meet..."
Qin Zhao listened to him whispering, looked down at the hands that the two were holding, and felt the temperature of the other hand with his fingers. He was able to hold it tightly since the heavy snow when he was young.
At night, when Chu Mingyun entered the dormitory, Su Shiyu was writing something and was putting his personal seal on it. He had just taken a bath, with long crow-colored hair that was slightly wet on his shoulders, walked over and leaned on the desk, and glanced casually, "What?"
"My aunt sent a letter from home, and I wrote a reply letter, and I will take it with you when A Yue goes back." Su Shiyu folded the letter and put it in an envelope.
Chu Mingyun's expression changed slightly. He suddenly sent a letter at such a time. If you think about it, you can guess why, "Does she disagree with the two of us?"
Su Shiyu looked up at him and laughed softly, "Aunt is just worried about me, it's nothing."
"Then what did you write in your reply?" Chu Mingyun looked at him.
Su Shiyu was keenly aware of the nervousness in his expression, so he smiled deeper, and said lightly, "It's nothing."
Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows, "World Honor."
The other party didn't smile, so he leaned over and rubbed against Su Shiyu's neck and whispered, "Su Aiqing?"
Su Shiyu's body froze, and he was about to hold down his hand that was close to his body, when a cool touch came from his ears, Chu Mingyun's wet hair swept through, and then a warm breath against the auricle. :
"Master Su."
"Brother Su."
"Baby-"
"Don't make trouble." Su Shiyu took a deep breath, held down his hand that was restlessly walking around his waist, and looked at Chu Mingyun, who was leaning his head on his shoulder, and his skills were increasing day by day. He was extremely helpless, "I told you in the letter After my aunt, since Su Jiayupei has been given, there is absolutely no reason to take it back, she naturally understands and won't say anything more."
Hearing this, Chu Mingyun straightened up, "I forgot to ask you, what is this jade pendant for?"
"It doesn't matter," Su Shiyu smiled. "The jade pendant that my mother left for me is also the rule of the Su family. The main family handed over the jade pendant to his wife on the night of the wedding, which is regarded as an identity certificate."
Chu Mingyun was stunned, speechless for a moment. Even if Su Shiyu confessed that he had always been in his heart, he never thought about when this "never" started, and he never thought of it. It turned out that it had been hidden silently and silently as early as when he was indifferent and unconcerned. In my heart, the subsequent entanglements, sincerity and falsehood, are just a fan of the authorities.
Catching Su Shiyu's gaze, Chu Mingyun hurriedly restrained his expression, paused, then curled his lips and said, "Since they have taken advantage of me for so long, when will Master Su plan to make up for the marriage for me?"
Su Shiyu smiled and shook his head gently, "You and I will be blocked and criticized when we get married. Could it be that His Majesty really intends to kill those who have dissent and cause another turmoil?"
"..." Chu Mingyun didn't answer, but his frowning brows clearly showed dissatisfaction.
"It's enough to be together."
"Shiyu," Chu Mingyun sighed, "I wish I could give you everything, but you don't want anything."
Su Shiyu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Give me your hand."
Chu Mingyun handed out his hand for unknown reasons, and Su Shiyu held it lightly in the palm of his hand. Then he took the private seal on the table and printed it on the back of Chu Mingyun's hand. The plain white complexion against the cinnabar red, Su Shiyu smiled lightly, took his hand, lowered his eyes and kissed his name.
The back of his hand felt warm to the touch, and Chu Mingyun saw the cinnabar color smudge a line between his lips, so he squeezed Su Shiyu's chin with his backhand and kissed it.
Su Shiyu took advantage of the situation and hugged his shoulders. His eyes met in the gap between his lips and tongues. He smiled and kissed his face again, "I just want this."
Chu Mingyun pressed his forehead, looked deeply into his eyes, suppressed his rapid breathing, his voice was slightly hoarse, "Okay." Then he said, "I remember that tomorrow is Xiu Mu?"
"..." Su Shiyu said, "I didn't mean that..."
The unfinished words disappeared between his lips and teeth, leaving only a lingering lingering.
