When their eyes met, Yu Chuxi's phoenix eyes, which were naturally full of sparkling autumn water, were even more dazzling because of the flashing of her long eyelashes, creating ripples of spring color.
Xie Shu paused for a moment before walking towards him.
Quickly walking up to the other person, Xie Shu said softly, "My dear."
At this time, Xie Shu originally planned to hand the peach branch in his hand to Yu Chuxi, but when he looked at Yu Chuxi's jade-white hands and luxurious clothes, he hesitated.
He didn't feel it when he picked the peach branch just now, but now, he was wondering if the peach branch might be too rough to the touch, and if it was stained with dust and mud, and if it would dirty his lover.
But before Xie Shu could finish his thought, Yu Chuxi had already stretched out his hand.
Looking at the person in front of him, the smile on Yu Chuxi's face became even more intense than before, as if at this moment, the buds on the tree suddenly blossomed, their faces so radiant that people dared not look directly at them.
In the end, Xie Shu couldn't help but turn his head slightly to avoid his gaze.
And in the next second, when Yu Chuxi took the branch from his hand, their fingertips touched lightly as if inadvertently.
At this moment, it seems like warm jade is emitting fragrance.
It's not like Xie Shu had not touched Lang Jun's hand before. He even held it that time. Although Xie Shu felt a little uncomfortable at the time, he knew in his heart that it was just a temporary measure, so Xie Shu didn't think too much about it.
But now, things are a little different.
This is too close...
Too close that it shouldn’t be, and isn’t allowed.
Xie Shu subconsciously pulled his hand back very quickly.
However, Yu Chuxi had not expected that Xie Shu would be so unable to retreat from him. He could not help but stand there in a daze. At the same time, the branch in his hand also slipped down a little. Finally, Yu Chuxi reacted and held it tightly.
But his eyes were different. If Yu Chuxi's eyes were bright just now, they were now a little dim, like a shadow born in the sun.
However, Xie Shu, who turned his head away at this time, did not notice this.
When he turned around to look at his lover, Yu Chuxi had already calmed down. The smile on his face also faded, no longer as clear as before, as if he was looking at flowers in a dream, after all, there was a thin layer of fog between them...
Xie Shu couldn't tell what he felt at this moment. He felt that his husband was a little sad.
If possible, he never wanted to see Langjun show such an expression. When he looked at him, his heart became dull and painful...
But what if this sadness is caused by myself?
At this time, seeing Xie Shu looking over, Yu Chuxi quickly retreated this time. He lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fell on the peach blossom in his hand, and said with a somewhat distant tone: "Thank you."
Xie Shu's Adam's apple was a little dry. He was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I promised you, so... no need to thank me."
Hearing the man's still calm voice beside her, Yu Chuxi suddenly wanted to question him, you promised me before that you would treat me sincerely.
So, was your avoidance just now also out of your true heart?
But when Yu Chuxi thought of the embarrassment and tenderness in the man's eyes just now, he felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart, and finally did not force him anymore.
These days, since Xie Shu moved in, Yu Chuxi never thought that the boring daily life would become something to look forward to.
In the morning, when Yu Chuxi got up and washed up, he saw Xie Shu practicing boxing downstairs. The maids around him were chatting and laughing, wondering where Mr. Xie had learned this strange style of boxing.
Yu Chuxi was thinking that he looked really good when he was serious.
In the morning, the two of them read in their respective study rooms, and Yu Chuxi would sometimes take this opportunity to ask him about some parts of the book that he did not understand. After all, although he had been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, he was a Shuang'er after all, and the teacher would not teach him too much.
But Xie Shu was different. He always told him the meaning of every sentence so carefully and patiently. Every time he spoke, his remarks were novel and easy to understand, and he never spoke perfunctorily.
In the afternoon, after Yu Chuxi finished inspecting the shops, the two of them had dinner together. With him around, Yu Chuxi's mood would become much better, and his appetite would always be better than usual.
In the evening, the two of them chatted under the moon. Such days were comfortable and leisurely.
Yu Chuxi thought that this was already very good, and that this was the best ending for the relationship between him and Xie Shu.
But he was not here today, and Yu Chuxi stayed in the study, suddenly distracted.
Only then did he realize that he had become a little greedy without knowing when...
Today he has been waiting in the room, waiting for him to pick the peach blossom for him.
Yu Chuxi thought, maybe, maybe he also has a heart...
But it was not until just now that Yu Chuxi realized that from the beginning to the end, the other party had created a clear boundary between the two of them.
Sticking to the old ways will lead to no progress.
Yu Chuxi suddenly remembered that a few days ago, he asked someone to investigate Xie Shu's affairs.
After Xie Shu said that she treated him sincerely that day, he put the matter aside, but now, he regretted it.
Are all people so fickle?
Once you get a little, you want more.
But, this is obviously also good.
Yu Chuxi tried hard to convince himself. He smiled nonchalantly and changed the subject: "How about you go to the poetry meeting today? Is it good there?"
It's okay to see Langjun smiling again, but Xie Shu always feels that it is different from before.
But that clue was hidden in Yu Chuxi's bright and beautiful eyes. Xie Shu didn't dare to look at it any more and could only reply: "Very good."
He wrote a poem for the peach blossoms in the West Garden today, but the peach blossoms there are not as beautiful as the ones in his lover's arms.
When Yu Chuxi turned around and went back to his room, he said softly, "Then I feel relieved too."
At this moment, what Xie Shu didn't know was that because of him, some troubles were caused today.
After Xie Shu left, the poetry gathering seemed to become a little quieter and not as lively as before.
After all, the two best poems have already been written, so who else can surpass them?
However, Gu Yuanke has always had a wide circle of friends, is eloquent, and is good at livening up the atmosphere, so this poetry reading was well-received by both the guests and the hosts.
When the poetry reading ended and everyone dispersed, the smile on Shao Zhen's face gradually disappeared.
In fact, just now, Shao Zhen was able to get along with everyone at the poetry meeting, and there were many talented people from Jinling who wanted to make friends with him.
However, in Shao Zhen's opinion, most of these people are not worthy of their reputation, except Wang Jing who is relatively good.
So Shao Zhen let out a few words and talked about some matters concerning state affairs. Wang Jing should have been able to guess his identity, but Wang Jing's attitude afterwards was very ambiguous, and Shao Zhen could see what the other party was hesitating about.
Although he now has the favor of his father and a little power, he still has too little in his hands, so he doesn't even have the bargaining chips to negotiate the price.
Just now, even a wealthy businessman's son-in-law didn't give him face...
Of course Shao Zhen knew that he was venting his anger on others. He had indeed misjudged Xie Shu before. But how many people would take all the blame on themselves?
At this time, Gu Yuanke came back and saw Shao Zhen looking depressed, and guessed something.
Shao Zhen's biological mother is his father's sister, and also his aunt. Although the Gu family is well-established, not all members of the Gu family are on Shao Zhen's side, and their ties with the Gu family in the capital are no longer as close as they used to be.
Moreover, compared to the crown prince, his prestige in the court and the power of his clan are much inferior. Fortunately... the more stable the crown prince's position is, the more he will be suppressed by their suspicious emperor...
Gu Yuanke deliberately did not mention what happened just now, but only advised Shao Zhen to be patient and there were still many opportunities.
Shao Zhen exhaled deeply, and suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Cousin, I need to plan the official business in advance for my southern tour this time..."
On the other hand, after the poetry reading ended, Wan Tianyun and a few playboys were still not satisfied and went to a restaurant in the city.
Wan Tianyun was not actually very happy today. Not only was the poem he had hired someone to write in advance not put to use, but he also watched others become famous in vain.
What surprised Wan Tianyun the most was that this person was his former classmate Xie Shu.
Xie Shu is now very successful. Not only has he become the son-in-law of the Yu family, he is also appreciated by the third son of the Gu family.
Just as Wan Tianyun was thinking about it, someone next to him couldn't help but ask, "Do you think Xie Shu's husband is really that beautiful? Is Xie Shu really so devoted to his husband?"
This question has attracted the unanimous attention of several young men. In fact, they have been thinking about this question when they listened to the poem just now. If it is really as he said in the poem, they can also find a son-in-law. Isn't it better than studying in the academy now?
At this time, another person hesitated and said, "How is it possible? And I remember seeing Xie Shu somewhere before. There were other people around him. He didn't look like the young master of the Yu family."
Finally, after much thinking, he remembered something. Some time ago, during the Qianqiu Festival, he hired a flower boat for a trip on the Qinhuai River. He accidentally knocked someone on another boat into the water. Fearing that he would be scolded by his father, he left quickly after seeing that the person was rescued. He only vaguely remembered that a beautiful little Shuang'er ran out of the other boat, but Shuang'er's dress and appearance made it impossible for her to be the eldest son of the Yu family.
The reason why I didn't remember it immediately was because Xie Shu's appearance that day was very different from today, and I didn't recognize him for a while.
After hearing these words, Wan Tianyun's eyes flashed and he kept them in mind.
After returning to the room, Xi Mo found that Xie Shu was more silent than usual, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Everything was fine before she came back. It turned out that the master's poem was not only written for her lover, but even the flower was picked for her lover, and she didn't even want him to touch it.
Why did the two of them just not get along?
And now the master stays in the room and doesn't go out. If this goes on, when will we be able to reconcile?
Xi Mo couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't you going to play chess with my husband today?"
Xie Shu came back to his senses, but did not speak immediately.
Playing chess has been a habit for him and his husband these days. Even though the time is short, he still finds it hard to give up.
When Ximo asked, he really wanted to get up, go to Langjun's door and knock on his door.
But his embarrassing reaction just now was still vivid in his mind. Xie Shu knew that it was his fault and he had hurt her husband's heart.
I had agreed with my husband that we would do the same as before, but he didn't do it.
Xie Shu suddenly stood up, put on a coat, walked to the door of his husband and knocked gently. Without waiting for the owner to respond, he bowed outside the door and apologized: "My husband, I am sorry today..."
Yu Chuxi leaned his back against the door, listening to the gentle and meaningful words in his ears. He suddenly thought that he could forgive him a little.
