"I have money!!"
Chu Aotian took out a heavy purse and threw it out, thus ending this brutal beating.
A nosebleed:
"What a thrilling duel!"
The young master's hair was pulled out and he climbed up in a panic, looking at the boy under him: "Are you okay?"
The young boy looked at her with complicated eyes. He didn't speak or move, but his eyes were as dark as the night.
"Eighth brother, please help me to lift him up."
"It's so deep!"
"Ninth brother, you can do something else every day, but you are so weak and you even make me get beaten up. No wonder my mother won't let me play with you."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell Father that you skipped classes."
"Didn't you run away too?"
"I'm younger than you. You, as the older brother, will be scolded, but I won't."
"?"
She is only fifteen days younger than him!
What kind of brother is he?
They are obviously the same size.
He was just born fifteen days earlier, so he has to take such a big blame?
This is not fair!
The two of them worked together and struggled to help the young boy back to the wheelchair. Looking at each other's faces, they were all black and blue, looking both embarrassed and funny.
When they looked at each other, they couldn't help laughing.
I started crying while laughing.
It's so miserable.
It’s so miserable!
Chu Aotian wiped his tears with his sleeves. As a prince, this was the first time he was beaten by a beggar. He was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Hurry up and send someone to buy some medicine. If the emperor sees us like this, he will never let us go out of the palace to play again."
"oh."
Chu Li rubbed her face, grimacing in pain, and when she looked at the young boy again, she saw that he was still looking at her with a pair of dark eyes.
Like observing, like exploring.
A pair of eyes were like obsidian, soaked in mountain spring water, sparkling brightly. Even with the disheveled body, the brilliance of these eyes could not be hidden.
For a moment, she couldn't help herself:
"You're really pretty...your eyes."
He was slightly stunned.
"Are you hurt? Does it hurt?" She took his hand and turned it over.
He lowered his eyes in shock, looking at her soft fingers, which were warm from her body and were incredibly soft as they moved across his arm.
"What happened to your leg?"
How come he didn't fight back when so many people bullied him?
"Are you sick?"
"Don't be afraid. With me here, those people won't bully you anymore. If they dare to come back again, I will beat them away for you!"
He looked at her in amazement.
He was small in stature and thin in body. He was beaten black and blue, but he clenched his fists and spoke of his lofty ambition to protect himself.
"Why don't you speak?"
Could he be a mute?
"I……"
This was the first time someone was willing to approach him. Perhaps because he had been alone for too long, he had lost his ability to speak. His mouth remained open for a long time:
"I……"
"So it's a stutterer!"
"..." His face turned red instantly.
Soon, Chu Aotian bought a large bag of medicine, bottles and jars, and a mess, and also bought some food.
He was sitting in a wheelchair while Chu Li and Chu Aotian sat cross-legged on the ground, rummaging through bottles and jars and smearing liquids on their faces at random.
"You should also apply some...apply more...hiss..."
Chu Li slapped Chu Aotian on the face.
Chu Aotian patted Chu Li’s face.
The two took pictures of each other.
Clap, clap, clap.
The young boy looked at the two of them for a long time before he slowly spoke: "You are not afraid of being embarrassed by being with a cripple like me..."
Chu Li scratched his head.
What does it mean to lose face?
"Eighth brother, what is shame?"
Chu Aotian said with a serious face: "During the cricket fight, my cricket lost."
"You're right. Although you stutter, I won't laugh at you... huh? You don't stutter anymore? Eighth brother, look at him, he's so handsome!"
"Hmm... just average. He's barely one-tenth as handsome as me."
"He's much better looking than you, and you're fat."
"What did you say?"
"I said you're fat!"
"Churi!"
"Give me some of the food you bought."
"Eat, eat, eat. I'll eat you to death."
Then, two people squatted on the ground and one sat in a wheelchair. Their clothes were disheveled, their hair was a mess, their faces were bruised and purple, and they ate potatoes while watching the pedestrians passing by outside.
Chu Li scratched his butt, "I'll give you a gift."
"Look!"
The little hand reached into the sleeve and pulled out two crickets...that had been crushed to death at some point.
Chu Aotian burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha!"
Chu Li's eyes widened, and then he blushed.
He must have been crushed to death during the fight just now.
"why are you laughing?"
"You are so stupid!"
"What did you say?"
Chu Li threw down Tudou and started fighting with Chu Aotian. The two of them hugged each other's shoulders and were as lively as monkeys jumping up and down, with endless energy in their bodies.
Youth, vigor, vitality, energy, even the sunshine seems to be endowed with vitality.
The young boy sat quietly in the wheelchair, looking at the lively Chu Li. The depth and defensiveness in his eyes gradually softened, and for the first time, a smile appeared on his young and thoughtful face.
The smile was light and quick, like a dragonfly skimming across the water, creating a slight ripple.
Qingfengju was so cheerful for the first time.
It was also the first time he felt so relaxed.
"Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince, you are here!"
At this time, from the far side of the long street, two eunuchs in plain clothes came hurriedly.
It's so scary!
I thought the two princes were lost.
He hurried over, but when he saw Qingfengju and the young boy sitting in the wheelchair, his expression suddenly changed.
Chu Li asked, "Is it time to return to the palace so soon?"
The eunuch bowed, hurriedly pulled the two princes aside, and said in a low voice:
"My dear, please don't come to this place again in the future."
"Why?"
"here……"
He tilted his head and glanced over there cautiously. "This is the residence of the Fifth Prince. Ever since the Fifth Prince broke his leg during the autumn hunt, he has been kept outside the palace. He is not favored by the Emperor. Everyone says that he is an unlucky person..."
Chu Li paused slightly.
On weekdays, she occasionally heard the palace maids mention the fifth prince, but she never expected it was him.
Can……
Why can't you come?
They are brothers!
The young boy's eyes dimmed. Seeing that the two eunuchs were deliberately avoiding him, he naturally guessed something, but the next second he saw Chu Li waving at him:
"Fifth Brother, it's getting late. I have to go back to the palace first. I'll come see you tomorrow!"
"I'm leaving!"
His pupils were shaking, and strong waves were spreading implicitly. His face was calm, but his hands gripping the wheelchair betrayed the turmoil in his heart at the moment.
She will come again... She is willing to come...
That night, he tossed and turned. Apart from hatred, his heart was filled with some strange thoughts for the first time, which kept him awake all night.
Are you thinking of me?
Is it joy?
Or something else? He couldn't quite tell, he even dreamed about her...
