Chapter 115 Expectation
Because two people forgot that he was thrown in the inn, Mu Bailinfeng held a grudge for a long time and didn't say a word to Yu Chi Gu Jue.
Because they came back to find him after lunch.
Regarding Gu Wuyuan's arrival in Liyang City, Yu Chi felt that he was almost certain that he was here to find him. Gu
Wuyuan always wanted to avenge the eye.
The Ye family courtyard was safe because many Jiyue Pavilion assassins were lurking around the courtyard, protecting the courtyard impervious to water.
As for the note, as long as Gu Wuyuan came for him, he would definitely come to find him.
But before they waited for Gu Wuyuan, they waited for another person first.
"Ah Heng, someone outside handed you a note."
Gu Jue came in from outside and handed the note in his hand to Yu Chi. In his other hand, he held three oil paper packages. When Yu Chi opened the note and saw it, he spread the oil paper packages on the table and opened them.
Two roast chickens, a snack, and then he took out a cake from his arms and spread it on the table.
After placing it, he went to Yu Chi to take a look.
"Who gave it to... Shen Ji?"
Yu Chi and Shen Ji should not be familiar with each other, and it can even be said that they have no friendship at all.
The only time they met was when Mu Bailin violently beat up the city lord not long ago, and Shen Ji came over and took the city lord away.
That's all, nothing else.
"Why did he pass you the post?"
Yu Chi pointed his slender finger at a certain place on the post, tilted his head slightly, made room for Gu Jue, and motioned for Gu Jue to look.
"It's written here."
Gu Jue took a closer look, and there were only two words where Yu Chi pointed.
"Watch a play?"
Gu Jue didn't understand it now. Watch a play?
What play?
Yu Chi closed the post and pinched Gu Jue's face.
"Maybe it's the play of the city lord."
Gu Jue frowned slightly, not understanding what it meant.
Yu Chi smiled at his expression, held his face, and kissed him on the lips.
"You'll know when I take you to see it."
Gu Jue was suddenly kissed, stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his tongue to lick the lips that were kissed by Yu Chi.
"Are you really going?"
"Of course, eat quickly."
Yu Chi responded, pulled down a chicken leg, and handed it to Gu Jue's mouth, and Gu Jue bit it.
That day, when Master Shen Ji came to ask for someone, although he looked as gentle as jade, his eyes were full of indifference.
Although he always wanted to take the city lord back, Yu Chi could see that he was not sincere.
Yu Chi raised his hand, lifted Gu Jue's fallen hair, and tidied it for him. Gu Jue glanced at him, and in his clear eyes, what was reflected was Yu Chi's face, as well as the slightly upturned corners of his mouth and eyes with a smile.
The eyes of someone who loves him will not lie, right?
Because it can't be hidden at all.
Even if Shen Ji showed deep affection towards the city lord, there was only coldness in his eyes, no love.
It was just that the city lord was too stupid, or perhaps he was blinded by the beauty, so he couldn't see it at all.
Yu Chi asked Mu Bailinfeng to run to see Shen Ji and said that they would keep the appointment as scheduled.
When Shen Ji learned the news, he was sitting alone in the room with a large mirror in front of him.
His fingers brushed across the mirror, tracing his eyebrows, and finally fell on the red mole on the side of the nose of the person in the mirror.
He smiled and murmured.
"Ah Xiu..."
The young master of the Shen family is well-known for being a gentle and jade-like young master.
When did his reputation begin to change?
It was when he saw Shen Xiu in the mirror.
He was frightened at first, and even didn't dare to look in the mirror for a long time.
Until one day, he was kidnapped.
On a hill outside the city of Liyang, there is a village with a group of bandits. The name of Shen Ji is almost known to everyone in Liyang City.
Everyone knows that the old lady of the Shen family loves this young master the most.
For money, the bandits kidnapped Shen Ji directly on the street.
And they spread the word that if they want Shen Ji to come back alive, they must prepare 500,000 taels of silver for them, otherwise, they will send Shen Ji to hell.
At that time, the Shen family's foundation was not large, and 500,000 taels of silver was not a small number. Shen's parents tried every possible way, but the bandits only gave them three days.
When they were borrowing money from everywhere, Shen Ji was not having a good time.
The young master, who had always been spoiled, was locked up in a thatched house, with only a bowl of white rice with a few green vegetables and a bowl of soup for each meal.
It is not quite right to say that it was white rice with green vegetables, because most of the time, the food was rotten.
The bowl of soup could not really be called soup, it smelled like a rotten rag, like pot washing water.
Shen Ji could not eat it because he was very hungry and very weak.
It rained heavily at night, and there was a wooden basin in the thatched house, which seemed to be used to collect rainwater. The basin was not clean and there was some black dirt on it.
Shen Ji didn't know what it was. In this completely unfamiliar environment, with danger all around him, he could only hold on to himself.
Because he was too hungry and had no strength left, he tried to stay where he was, without any unnecessary movements, just to conserve his energy.
His mind was spinning wildly, thinking about what to do, how to save himself, and how to escape.
In the afternoon, his eyes fell on the basin that collected rainwater next to him. The rainwater inside was collected to the bottom, and he saw his own reflection in it.
After just a glance, the person in the water smiled at him.
Shen Ji had no strength and didn't want to move, so he could only look away and stop looking at him.
But the man in the water didn't let him go. Shen Ji thought he would just move, but he didn't expect that he could still hear him talking.
He called Shen Ji "young master" and asked Shen Ji why he didn't look in the mirror.
He looked around and frowned.
"My young master, where are you?"
Shen Ji was no longer afraid after being quarreled with by him for a long time, but just felt that he was annoying.
"Qushan."
"Qushan? Where is it?"
Shen Ji sighed. This was the third day he was locked up here. Except when it rained, he used his mouth to catch the rain water and drank it. He hadn't eaten anything since then.
Now he was so hungry that he felt dizzy and could hardly hold on.
Sometimes he didn't know whether he should be glad that Qushan had a lot of rain, or hate that it rained a lot. Then he felt conflicted.
The rain in Qushan was nothing, and it wasn't that the rain was going to hang on to his life. He went to collect rainwater to drink.
He knew the situation of his own family. On the surface, he was indeed the most favored young master of the Shen family, but secretly, it was not the case.
He had an elder brother who was strictly educated since he was a child. He went to school, hired a teacher, and learned business...
In comparison, Shen Ji was indeed very happy. He didn't have to go to school, didn't have to follow the teacher's rigid study, and didn't have to rack his brains to think about how to do business and make money. Compared
with his brother, he was much happier.
But later, his brother died due to an accident, and his parents' eyes all fell on Shen Ji.
And over the years, the words Shen Ji heard most often were...
your brother is like this and that.
Can you learn from your brother?
Can't you let me worry less? Your brother used to...
Father Shen loved Mother Shen very much, so there were no concubines in his courtyard, and there was not even a maid. Outsiders praised Father Shen's love for Mother Shen, and they thought they were very loving.
But when Mother Shen gave birth to Shen Ji, she fell ill and could not give birth again.
After his brother died, Shen Ji became the only child in the Shen family.
Enjoying the love of his parents, glamorous and beautiful, almost everyone in Liyang City envied him.
But only Shen Ji knew that his parents' expectations were like a huge mountain, suddenly pressing on him, and he could hardly breathe.
In such an environment, Shen Ji almost collapsed, but Shen Ji could not refute his parents' expectations and love for him, nor could he say anything wrong about them.
He could only suppress it in his heart.
Later, he saw himself in the mirror moving.
