Xiao Zhaoling was drunk and very clingy.
Although Lin Zikui felt it was rude, he really liked the smell of Zhao Ling and he also really liked hugging him. To him, a scholar who never burned incense and only had paper and ink as companions, Xiao Zhaoling's scent was too pleasant.
This made him sniff it secretly a few times.
Xiao Fu felt that he was not moving, and was actually lying on his neck and sniffing secretly, so he rested one arm on the couch, supported his face with his palm and looked down at him, feeling a little amused, and his heart softened.
In a sticky tone, she said, "Lin Lang, I want to marry you tonight."
Lin Zikui said "Ah?" and shook his head subconsciously: "Absolutely not, Zhao Ling, this marriage needs to be proposed in person, and a date must be chosen in advance, and the marriage must be formally arranged."
Xiao Zhaoling was obviously an impatient person, and he held him tightly and refused to let go: "I can do without these three steps."
"I...have to have it," Lin Zikui was very stubborn. She blushed and felt dizzy when he held her in his long arms, but she still remembered what the sages said, "I can't treat you like this. If your family knew, they would think...I'm not a gentleman."
"They don't know. I'm not a girl anyway... I can't give birth anyway, and my belly won't get big. I'll worship here once, and then worship again when I get home. Lin Lang, are you willing?"
He is now at the critical point where he wants Lin Zikui very much, but is afraid of scaring him. Xiao Fu, who has always been a man who does things without thinking twice, can now be said to be very restrained.
Sure enough, Lin Zikui hesitated, frightened by his arrogance, and whispered, "Lust is lust, and lust is a great punishment. The three desires are appetite, sleep, and sex. Among the three desires, appetite is the root. If you eat too much, you will feel sleepy and have more lustful thoughts. Miss Zhao Ling, are you... not full?"
There are three desires in the world. When people are full and well-rested, they will always have desires.
Xiao Fuzhen was about to be amused: "Why are you still quoting scriptures to me? Are you a monk? Talking to me about the three desires. You must know that I am different from ordinary people. Now I only have two of the three desires, one is you, and the other is sleep." He stared at Lin Zikui through the flickering candlelight, "Tell me, what do I want to eat?"
Lin Zikui couldn't help wiping his sweat. It's not that his heart didn't beat, but he was rational: "...I'm quoting from the classics with you because Brother Chen said that you fall asleep when you hear people reading. How about I recite a preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng for you?"
Xiao Fu: “…Not good.”
Lin Zikui: "Yuzhang is the old county, Hongdu is the new capital. The stars are divided into Yi and Zhen..."
Xiao Fu opened his eyes wide: "You really can't bear it?"
"Well, go to sleep, second girl. After you fall asleep, I will also go to rest. The natural treasures, Longguang..." He continued to recite.
Xiao Fu closed his eyes and chuckled helplessly, his voice hoarse: "What good will it do you to coax me to sleep? You can't see where you're going to sleep? I'm sleeping on the couch, are you going to sleep in my bed?"
Lin Zikui whispered, "Second Miss, don't worry about me. I remember there is a Luohan bed next to the desk by the window. At night, I should be able to hear the wind blowing the banana leaves and the snow falling from the eaves. I can sleep there."
"You are really in a refined mood. A gentleman should remain calm even when a woman's arms are bent. You also want to listen to the snow falling on the banana leaves. Are you going to get up and compose a poem?"
Lin Zikui said seriously: "If Zhao Ling wants me to write a poem, I can also write one. I wonder if Zhao Ling wants a seven-character poem or a five-character poem?"
“…”
Xiao Fu was defeated by him.
He half opened his eyes and said, "Lin Lang, it's so cold today. What if you accidentally kick the charcoal brazier and the house catches fire?"
"this……"
Lin Zikui was stumped by his question.
It's not impossible for this to happen. He has experience in blindfolding. Without Mo Liu and the bamboo stick, he would be a waste.
Lin Zikui was at a loss: "I'll go... call Mo Liu."
"Don't go, don't go," Xiao Fu untied his belt with one hand, kicked off his boots, stood up and took off Lin Zikui's shoes, lifted the quilt at the end of the couch and covered him, then held down Lin Zikui who was about to climb out of bed, pulled away his wooden hairpin, and said, "You're not going anywhere."
Xiao Fu pushed the quilt to the middle to prevent Lin Zikui from noticing that there was something wrong with his dagger. Then he lay down and leaned his head on his shoulder. With one hand, he flicked the candle and extinguished it with his Qi. At the same time, he said tiredly, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep like this."
"Second Miss..." Lin Zikui's whole body was stiff, not daring to move.
"Zhao Ling..." He still spoke softly, with care in his heart.
Xiao Fu remained silent.
Maybe he was really asleep, or maybe he was just pretending because he knew Lin Zikui would not wake him up on purpose.
After a while, Lin Zikui knew that he would not be able to get away tonight. He felt okay as he did not have any impure desires at the moment, but his heart was beating fast. However, he slowly calmed down with the sound of Xiao Zhaoling's even breathing.
He relaxed his body slightly, put his arms on Xiao Fu's body, and patted his broad back twice with his palms.
Very light.
Like coaxing a child to sleep.
If Xiao Fu hadn't deliberately suppressed it, he would have been unable to control himself and shouted out loud.
He did not move, and remained the same.
Because of Xiao Fu's cuddly movements, Lin Zikui lowered his head and it rested against his hair. Perhaps he was also sleepy, so he turned sideways, buried his face in Xiao Zhaoling's hair, and slowly fell asleep.
Xiao Fu opened his eyes and slightly bent his legs in the darkness.
He was afraid of waking up Lin Zikui, who would find it difficult to accept the fact that the young lady had changed from a girl to a boy overnight, so he endured it and did nothing. He just put his face against his neck and breathed quietly.
Lin Zikui has good sleeping habits and often goes to bed late and gets up early. Because he has to study, he has developed the habit of sleeping only two or three hours a day since he was a child. Usually Mo Liu will get up a little later than him. Lin Zikui goes to wash up for a while, and Mo Liu just gets up. The master and servant eat a hot steamed bun together, which is considered their breakfast.
So before the hour of Mao, Lin Zikui woke up involuntarily.
But when he found himself on Xiao Zhaoling's bed in a rather ungentle posture, remembering what happened last night, he didn't dare to move.
Lin Zikui struggled but failed to get free, so he could only take a nap in this position.
In the dim light, I smelled a odor. The odor was not strong, but it was very obvious in the house with the doors and windows closed in winter.
Lin Zikui reacted quickly. Could it be that he had a dream that he shouldn't have had? In the dream...
He was startled and all sleepiness disappeared.
Lin Zikui didn't dare to check, and he felt that there shouldn't be anything, as there was no sticky feeling in his underwear.
Where did this smell come from? Lin Zikui turned his head carefully to smell it, and found that it was on Xiao Fu. Xiao Fu also had a little bit of the same smell on him, but he still smelled good.
Finally, he identified the culprit. Could it be the two Chen brothers... ? Last night the wind blew the door open, and the smell came in. I closed the door again in the middle of the night, and the smell was locked away.
Why! It's really disgraceful.
Lin Zikui couldn't sleep. He kept investigating the case in his mind. He never thought that Xiao Fu had a very satisfying dream. In the dream, Lin Zikui was blindfolded, his face and voice were very clear, so he was still dreaming and didn't wake up at all.
The Chen brothers were indeed awake. They were both good at drinking, and they woke up in the middle of the night to find the marquis's door open and the scholar sleeping on top of him wrapped in a brocade quilt.
Yuan Qing shook his head, kindly closed the door, and then carried Mo Liu back to Xixin Hall.
Xiao Zhaoling woke up earlier than usual today, probably because there was someone beside him. As soon as he moved, Lin Zikui stood up as if relieved: "Miss Zhaoling is awake?"
"Um……"
Lin Zikui breathed a sigh of relief: "I was worried about waking you up. It's good that you're awake. You drank a lot of wine last night. I'll ask Mo Liu to cook some wolfberries for you." He got out of bed decisively and bent down to look for his shoes.
He touched two pairs, but his shoes were different from Xiao Zhaoling's, and he could tell them apart quickly.
Lin Zikui put on his own shoes, picked up Xiao Zhaoling's boots and stood up: "Zhaoling, the shoes are here."
"Will you put it on for me?" Xiao Fu sat on the edge of the bed.
Lin Zikui was slightly stunned, as if he felt something was wrong, then he squatted down in compromise: "Okay."
He squatted in front of Xiao Fu, and to find his feet he had to feel along the ground.
Xiao Fu was not wearing brocade socks on his feet. He was "afraid" that Lin Zikui couldn't touch them, so he deliberately lifted them up and put them into his arms as he squatted down.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the sunlight coming through the window lattices was very bright.
Lin Zikui buried her head, bit her lip, and put on his socks and shoes without saying a word, her fingers still trembling a little.
He was very meticulous in his work, putting one piece of clothing on Xiao Fu, one after another, almost kneeling on the ground, because he couldn't see and had to rely on groping.
Xiao Fu didn't mean it, he just simply liked to see Lin Zikui's ears blushing.
"I'm dressed..." Lin Zikui didn't stand up, but squatted and said, "Would you like to get up and take a look?"
"Okay, Lin Lang is deft and dressed quickly. Go slower next time." Xiao Fu got up first. Lin Zikui noticed that he got up and also got up. He buried his head and hesitated, "Then I'll go call Mo Liu. He might still be sleeping on his stomach." As he spoke, he turned around and called out, "Mo Liu, Mo Liu..."
Xiao Fu shook his head and grabbed his hand: "You haven't even finished putting on your clothes yet, why are you in such a hurry to go out?"
Lin Zikui suddenly reacted, holding his open coat with one hand, and said in panic: "My, my belt, Miss Zhao Ling, I'm sorry for being rude..."
"It's here with me." Xiao Fu found the belt from the couch, adjusted his collar, put his arms through his lower back, tied the belt around his waist, and finally put on the new fur coat that his mother had brought him last time.
The collar is made of white fox fur, the fabric is red lake silk with gold embroidery of river cliff patterns, and the lining is warm wolfskin.
Only the favored little prince in the palace could wear something like this. Xiao Fu specially asked for it to be altered to be a little smaller, so that it fits Lin Zikui perfectly this time.
After putting it on him, Lin Zikui touched his sleeves and felt a brand new pattern: "Miss Zhao Ling, is this new..."
"Yes, I made it especially for you to wear on New Year's Day. Lin Lang will look good in red." It looks like a wedding dress.
"Especially... for me." Although Lin Zikui couldn't see it, he could feel that it fit him well.
It was indeed new clothes made for myself.
The fluffy fox fur tickled his chin.
"Actually, I... don't need to wear such nice clothes. Just dress up nicely, Zhao Ling."
Lin Zikui didn't know how to thank him. He felt that he couldn't accept it and felt that he was useless.
In the past few years, only Tang Mengyang and Xiao Zhaoling had sent him clothes, worried that he would be cold.
Then Brother Tang...
It was easier for him, but in the end it ended up like that. Besides, as Ling said, Brother Tang was still a homosexual.
It’s better not to say anything!
"I'm dressed nicely enough, Lin Lang should also dress nicer." Xiao Fu also prepared other clothes for him, and asked him to change them one by one, so that Lin Zikui would wear different colors in front of him every day.
"Thank you Zhao Ling, I..." Lin Zikui hesitated, looking embarrassed, and his fingers in his sleeves scratched his palms involuntarily.
"The Spring Examination... is coming soon." Lin Zikui said, "I have one eye, so I can still see a little bit. I, I want to take the exam again. Xu Dang may not let me go, but as long as I am careful and enter the Imperial College to take the exam... they can't do anything to me."
Yesterday, Prime Minister Xue said something. He said, "It is just like floating clouds passing through the sky. The dangers and difficulties do not linger in one's heart." This was an enlightenment for Lin Zikui. He thought that if he really went back to Fengtai County to be a teacher, he would not be able to support Xiao Zhaoling.
He wanted to wear fine fabrics, use the best charcoal, and ride in a fine carriage, but he was never satisfied. If I were just a teacher, would he dislike me in the future? They don't have children, Xiao Zhaoling has nothing to worry about. Will he dislike her and no longer want her one day...
When Lin Zikui couldn't sleep just now, he was thinking about this matter.
I want to bring Xiao Zhaoling home and love him as my daughter, not marry him and let him suffer with me.
The author has something to say:
Zikui: Brother Tang is a gay
Xiao: Me too)
