Song Yu, wearing an indigo-blue robe with gold threads and a white jade and silver crown on his head, came up and first glanced at Jiang Xue, then stood in front of Xu Tianze, looking like he was catching someone cheating.
Today was a day off, so he made a special trip to the Jiang residence just to take his fiancée for a stroll. After all, the wedding day was approaching, and soon he wouldn't be able to see Jiang Xue due to etiquette and regulations.
Who knew that he went to Jiang's house and found nothing, thinking that he might have gone to find his old friend. But he had no choice but to go to Xu's house to talk to Xu Tianze, but it was clear that he had gone there in vain.
The three of them had known each other for more than a year or two. How could he not be suspicious when he was the only one there while the other two were not? So he sent someone to investigate, and that's how this wonderful drama unfolded.
"Xue'er is already engaged to me, but Aze, you are meeting her in private. Isn't this against etiquette?" Song Yu stared at Xu Tianze, observing whether he felt guilty.
How could this be considered a breach of etiquette? He simply didn't take him seriously. If it weren't for his decent relationship with Xu Tianze, he would have broken that person's legs if it were someone else.
As for Jiang Xue, no matter what, the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion cannot be lost, so they can only wait until they return to discuss it in private.
"Ayu, you're joking. We just bumped into each other by chance." Xu Tianze laughed awkwardly and laughed. "I thought Ayu was here too, but I didn't expect to find out she wasn't here when I got here. We just chatted for a few minutes and were about to leave."
Unexpectedly, after just a few words, Song Yu ran into him. Fortunately, the conversation was over. If Song Yu had arrived earlier, he would have just said "congratulations" at the end.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianze felt relieved, and the smile on his face became more sincere. He and Song Yu had known each other since childhood, so there was no way he would let such a small matter cause a rift between them.
Furthermore, apart from the content of their conversation, his and Jiang Xue's other actions were in accordance with the rules, and their behavior did not seem intimate, so he was quite open and honest.
But it was a little too early for him to be happy. Song Yu called a servant over and the servant whispered something in his ear.
Xu Tianze had a bad feeling in his heart and took a few steps back.
Sure enough, Song Yu's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he raised his foot to kick Xu Tianze. When he looked up, he found that Xu Tianze had already moved far away from him, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"Xu Tianze, you're really great." He said as he approached Xu Tianze, "You thought that since the second floor was cleared, no one would hear your conversation, right?"
He had great trust in Xu Tianze, but he didn't expect Xu Tianze to be so shameless. Before he and Jiang Xue were engaged, he didn't see how much affection Xu Tianze had for Jiang Xue.
Now, he and Jiang Xue are about to get married, which shows that Xu Tianze has deep feelings for Jiang Xue. What a great guy. What were you doing earlier?
"What a great line 'I miss you so much and I remember you so much', but am I the one who stole someone else's love?" Song Yu glanced at Xu Tianze and snorted coldly.
Such lingering affection made it seem as if Song Yu had stolen someone else's love. If it weren't for the situation and the unknown secret, why would he marry Jiang Xue and wear green on his head?
However... Song Yu's eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Xue and Xu Tianze. Since she was the one Xu Tianze loved, he would definitely snatch her away.
"Now that Jiang Xue and I are about to get married, Third Master Xu should still consider the etiquette and rules and not ruin the love between you and me."
Xu Tianze, who was already feeling uneasy under Song Yu's gaze, touched his head awkwardly.
"How could that be? Since she is your wife, she is naturally a friend's wife and should not be bullied." Xu Tianze patted Song Yu's shoulder and passed by Song Yu, with a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.
Don't cheat on your friend's wife. It would be fine if she wasn't your wife. Xu Tianze added silently in his heart, and then walked away without stopping.
Unfortunately, Xu Tianze and Song Yu wanted to let it go, but Jiang Xue, the other party involved, did not intend to let it go.
"Even if it's heart-wrenching, we shouldn't think about Mo Xiangshi. Brother Tianze was blessing us just now."
Jiang Xue covered her mouth and smiled at Song Yu. It was obvious that the previous sentence was just her mumbling to herself, but the sound was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
If this were the case, how could the others present not understand what was going on? Jiang Xue had orchestrated this drama, and she couldn't just let it go so easily. Even if it had to be this way, she wanted to put a thorn in Song Yu and Xu Tianze's hearts.
However, neither Xu Tianze nor Song Yu would continue the conversation. Xu Tianze looked at Jiang Xue deeply and noticed something strange about this encounter.
However, out of the friendship and trust they had grown up with, he just shook his head and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
But Xu Tianze did not notice the ambiguous look in Song Yu's eyes, nor the triumphant smile on Jiang Xue's lips.
"Aze, the bond between you and me is irreplaceable, do you know that?"
Hearing Song Yu's voice, Xu Tianze paused as he was walking down the stairs, and the veins on his hands that were holding the stairs bulged.
Of course he knew it. If he hadn't been concerned about the relationship between him and Song Yu, how could he have watched Jiang Xue marry Song Yu?
Over the years, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the person Xu Tianze really liked was Song Yu, a block of wood, but this block of wood knew nothing.
If you don't understand, then you don't understand, but it's really ridiculous that you think the person he loves is Jiang Xue.
Xu Tianze sighed silently in his heart, but even if he told it, there might not be a good result. Regardless of their gender, identity or responsibility, Xu Tianze was not allowed to tell this secret.
Looking at the figure peeking out from the door downstairs, Xu Tianze released his hand from the handle, regained his calm expression, waved behind him, and walked away.

-------------------------------------
The dilapidated temple was deserted, the crescent moon was cold, Xu Tianze opened his eyes and climbed up from a pile of weeds. The constant pain from all over his body reminded him all the time that reality was meaningless.
"It's quite embarrassing." Xu Tianze muttered to himself, "But I won't have such a dream again next time."
As he spoke, a tear fell onto the hay, but it didn't even create a ripple. It turned out that from the very beginning, the three of them had already changed, but he was too stupid to notice, and when he did, this was the result.
The sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer, and the half-closed temple door was pushed open with a clang, accompanied by an anxious, tentative and worried call.
"Aze?!"
Xu Tianze raised his head in a daze, but before he could see who was coming, he was embraced by someone.
"I'm late."
