In front of the North Gate

Chapter 32

When Ji Chang put the things back in a random manner, Lou Huaiyu had already calmed down most of his mood, but it still didn't feel real, so he was empty and dazed, not like being in it, but like an outsider, staring at it. Shi Jichang was stunned by his actions.

Shi Jichang tidied up the other things, and walked over with a branch of wintersweet.

He sat beside Lou Huaiyu and asked him, "Is this the one that was given to you for the first time, or the one that was given to you later?"

Lou Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, glanced at it hastily, and said, "The one in the back."

"I had time to collect the first one, but Du Juan threw it away." Lou Huaiyu explained again.

Shi Jichang hummed lightly, took the branch in his hand, lowered his head and played with it for a long time, without making a sound.

When delivering it, Shi Jichang said that this wintersweet came across by chance on the way and picked it in a hurry.

But it's not.

After Shi Jichang figured out his feelings for Lou Huaiyu, he was occupied by strange joy and throbbing all night long.

For the first time, when he was about to fall asleep, he was awakened by his inexplicably accelerated heartbeat, and tasted both sweetness and pain at the same time.

And after a night and a half-waking morning, a meeting in the afternoon woke him up.

The content of the meeting was to break into the Fan family compound and capture Watanabe Xiongchuan alive.

A big boy who he had explained to the deployment in the backyard before asked him: "What about the 'wife' you mentioned earlier?"

Shi Jichang was stunned for a moment, then looked up from the file.

The boy looked upright, seeing that he didn't speak, he said, "My suggestion is to arrange for him to escape from the backyard when there is chaos in front, so that the opponent's troops will concentrate in the front yard, and...Brother Jichang?"

The boy paused, and Shi Jichang saw his somewhat bewildered expression, so he knew that his expression at that time was probably very ugly.

Shi Jichang was silent for a while, and said, "Let's talk about it later, he is the one who is going to sing in the front yard."

"Ah." The boy was also silent for a while, "Then it will be a little troublesome, let me see how to arrange it properly."

Shi Jichang said yes, waved him to sit down, and then most of the meeting that followed was completely inappropriate and distracted.

At that moment, Shi Jichang suddenly realized that Lou Huaiyu was going to leave.

This is an objective fact that he doesn't like or dislike subjectively, and can be changed, and I have no position to make any other demands on him.

"Actually, I slept very late that day." After a while, Shi Jichang suddenly said.

Lou Huaiyu didn't keep up with his thinking: "What?"

"It was the night when I gave you this wintersweet flower," Shi Jichang explained, moving the flower branch in his hand, "I said I would come to stay with you for one night."

Lou Huaiyu recalled it, and at the same time he recalled the situation when he secretly wanted to touch someone that day, and he was a little nervous all of a sudden.

Lou Huaiyu couldn't tell whether Ji Chang suddenly said that he wanted to expose his various behaviors, or just made a simple statement, so he didn't speak immediately.

Shi Jichang smiled lightly, as if he didn't focus on this.

Shi Jichang said: "I was bullying you and you don't understand. In fact, I didn't need to come and ambush alone. It doesn't make any sense."

Lou Huaiyu turned her head in surprise, and met Jichang's gaze.

Before he could ask, Shi Jichang replied: "I want to come here on my own."

The deployment before the action is often the most grueling, everyone is surrounded by tension and excitement, and a little bit of fear.

Shi Jichang stayed in the team the longest, logically speaking, he should have gotten used to it long ago, but this time, because of other reasons, he was pulled into a state of uneasiness.

Shi Jichang knew it shouldn't be, but he couldn't control it.

And when the cold wind was blowing and wanted to force himself to wake up, Shi Jichang saw a branch of wintersweet growing in a certain courtyard.

The city wall is no better than the Fan Family Courtyard. People only erected low fences around the courtyard. Through the gaps, they can still clearly see the whole picture of wintersweet.

It is a very strange flower branch.

All the flowers on the other branches have fallen, only this one is still open, very red, very bright, and looks out of place.

Shi Jichang stopped to watch it, feeling that it was like his feelings that were about to run out, warm and desolate.

But the flowers bloom against the wind, braver than him.

Shi Jichang looked at it for a long time, finally knocked on the door of that family, and asked for the flower. It was very absurd, and under Lan'er's unbelievable eyes, he explained to her that he was going to join everyone in the courtyard.

Lan Er's eyes were full of regret, she said: "Brother, you are finished."

Shi Jichang didn't have time to talk to her, so after explaining to her, he took the wintersweet plant and came to Lou Huaiyu.

Lou Huaiyu is very cute, full of trust in him, without the slightest doubt about the truth of Shi Jichang's words.Lou Huaiyu also wanted to help, saying that he could do things.

Shi Jichang just wanted to reach out and pinch his face, to touch him more.

"The next day, I was in the back, watching you put on makeup with another boy." Shi Jichang said, "At that time I... really wanted to rush out and tell you not to leave."

The night wind was still very cold, but Shi Jichang closed the door, so it couldn't blow them, it just blew on the door, making an irregular beat.

On the back of Shi Jichang's hand, a small piece of softness suddenly stuck to it, which was Lou Huaiyu's palm.

Lou Huaiyu's hands are very similar to his face, they look slender and bony, but they are soft and warm when they are touching.He squeezed Shi Jichang's fingers, and Shi Jichang caught him.

Shi Jichang held Lou Huaiyu's hand in his palm, and heard Lou Huaiyu ask him in a low voice, "Then why don't you call?"

Lou Huaiyu lowered his head, Shi Jichang couldn't see his expression, he could only see his soft eyelashes colliding with his long hair, looking a little aggrieved.

Shi Jichang said, "I want you to choose yourself."

"If I insist on asking you to stay by my side just because I like you, what's the difference from Yamaguchi?"

Lou Huaiyu immediately raised her head and said quickly, "Of course it's different."

Shi Jichang thought his frown was cute, and teased him: "What's different?"

Lou Huaiyu frowned even harder.

He seemed to be thinking hard, when he suddenly thought of something, his brows gradually relaxed, but his cheeks began to turn red.

Shi Jichang didn't interrupt him, and waited for Lou Huaiyu to speak.

Lou Huaiyu waited for a while before speaking, and the speech was complete and well-founded.

"In the play Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, both Liang Shanbo and Ma Wencai wanted to marry Zhu Yingtai," Lou Huaiyu said, "but Ma Wencai's marriage to Zhu Yingtai was forced, but Liang Shanbo did not."

Lou Huaiyu looked at Shi Jichang, probably because he realized that Shi Jichang was getting closer and closer to him, so he lowered his eyebrows in embarrassment.

"Because Zhu Yingtai also likes Liang Shanbo," Lou Huaiyu said, "so it's different."

Shi Jichang's word 'oh' was stuffy in his nasal cavity.

He didn't know when, he was almost completely attached to Lou Huaiyu, and when he got closer, he could kiss him.

Shi Jichang asked: "So I am different from Shankou, because Lou Huaiyu doesn't like Shankou, but likes Shi Jichang, right?"

Shi Jichang's breath was hot when he spoke, and it hit his ears, making Lou Huaiyu's face warm and his heart beating, throbbing with joy.

He nodded slightly, half of the word "um" was stuck in his throat, and the corner of his mouth was gently kissed.

Shi Jichang kissed lightly and quickly, he was very inexperienced, and his position was even a bit off.

But he didn't back away quickly after the kiss, and still stuck close to Lou Huaiyu.

Shi Jichang said: "I saw you coming back that day, and I was so happy."

When he couldn't see anyone, Shi Jichang felt that it was just like that, he seemed a little lost, but he lied to himself, saying that there were many more important things waiting to be done, and he seemed to be able to fall asleep.

But the moment Lou Huaiyu appeared at the door in the team, Shi Jichang realized that the previous few days, his heart had been hanging in the same place, dancing evenly but empty, but at this moment, it suddenly fell down, falling Back to the ground, the jump was fast and steady.

Shi Jichang was actually against his will.

He no longer wanted Lou Huaiyu to leave, and wanted to hold Lou Huaiyu firmly in his arms, but he still pretended to let him find what he wanted to do.

"I said before that if you find something you like, you can leave and do it. I regret it." Shi Jichang said, he pressed Lou Huaiyu's forehead, opened Lou Huaiyu's hand that was in his palm, and stuffed the flower branch into the bag. Get up, "I don't want you to go now, I want you to be by my side all the time."

"It may be better in the future than it is now, or it may be more difficult than it is now."

"The struggle may or may not succeed."

"In this world, I can't make any promises to you. It's very irresponsible to ask you to stay by my side, but I—"

"What's the matter with you?" Lou Huaiyu suddenly shook the flower branch, interrupting Shi Jichang.

Shi Jichang was stunned, and Lou Huaiyu questioned him: "It's such a cheap thing to give it to me again."

Lou Huaiyu said: "Tomorrow I have to pick new flowers."

He looked up at Shi Jichang very close, because it was so close, Shi Jichang could only see himself in the corner of those beautiful eyes.

Lou Huaiyu smiled, and his eyes curled up.

Shi Jichang felt the warmth and softness of his lips, and the same warmth of his lips.

Lou Huaiyu's lips were soft, sweet, bright red and delicious, no different from what Ji Changxiao had thought of countless times.

But it turned out that Shi Jichang's was too.

Lou Huaiyu kissed him, and couldn't help but think that no matter how tough a person looks, his lips are soft and hot.

So is the heart.
