.

"Young Master You." Pu Pingle greeted with a light breath.

I don't usually know, You Xuzhi never went to him during this time, he suddenly felt that there was a lot of difference, he hadn't seen You Xuzhi for a long time, he felt uneasy in his heart , so have the heart to try.

"Why are you all wet?"

You Xuzhi: "Fell into the river."

He walked in a hurry, and he didn't go back to look for his shoes, and now he stopped to feel the stones under his feet.

Pu Ping shyly replied "Oh", and then he was full of words and stopped, the white and pure scholar's face is pleasing to the eye, and the sad look will not destroy the beauty.

"Why are you here?" You Xuzhi asked him.

Pu Pingle just thought of it, took out an invitation from his arms, and said: "Jiang Yan in the village is getting married early next month, I will help send an invitation."

"Oh?" You Xuzhi took the invitation from him, glanced at it, and said, "I will hand it over to him for you, you go down the mountain first, it is not early. It's late, it's dangerous on the mountain."

Pu Pingle felt something was wrong.

He looked up and asked, "How about you?"

You Xuzhi laughed: "I am different from your thin arms and thin legs, you don't mind me."

Pu Pingle licked her lower lip and asked cautiously: "Young Master You, why haven't you come to see me recently? But why did I make you unhappy?"

"It's nothing." You Xuzhi didn't pay attention to him, he threw wet hair behind his head, and said, "Don't think too much, I used to be too presumptuous and never asked your wishes carefully. , Now that I have seen my own intentions clearly, I will not force your stuff in the future."

Pu Pingle's lips slightly parted, and he looked at You Xuzhi in disbelief. The meaning of his words could not be clearer, and Pu Pingle would naturally not understand the meaning.

He slowed down and laughed to himself: "I never thought that Young Master You would only take me as a joke. Well, since Young Master You sees his mind clearly—"

He paused and said, "Pingle doesn't know what's wrong, he mistakenly thought that Young Master You was a good man, but he was delusional..."

He stopped when he clicked, turned around and staggered, like someone who had been let down, his back was heartbroken.

You Xuzhi looked at his back, touched his hair, shook his head and sighed: "I treated you well before, and I didn't see you treating me better, it's a pity..."

It's a pity for the money.

He looked down at the wedding invitation in his hand, his lips were evened, and when the wind blew, the soaked clothes seemed to be cold to the flesh.

In the book, Pu Pingle calculated Zhang Zuidong that night, after drinking the wedding wine that night, Zhang Zuidong was drunk, Pu Pingle said to send him home, and then the two got together that night .

You Xuzhi sneezed and rubbed his hair.

What do you think.

…

Zhang Zuidong came back half an hour late. You Xuzhi had already boiled the water and took a bath. In the evening, Zhang Zuidong asked him to eat before he walked out of the room.

Seeing him, Zhang Zuidong looked away slightly uncomfortable, sat at the table and sorted his clothes, hiding half of his body in the dark.

You Xuzhi noticed his discomfort, but he felt at ease. He sat on the other side and said, "Pu Pingle has come."

Zhang Zuidong: "…"

You Xuzhi saw that he didn't respond, and continued: "I'll send you an invitation, someone in your village is getting married, I'll put the invitation there."

"I saw it." Zhang Zuidong said.

"Oh..." You Xuzhi slowed down, fiddling with the rice in the bowl, but he didn't really have much appetite, "Then what, don't take things too seriously at the riverside. A piece of cake."

These words seemed to jump on Zhang Zuidong's nerves, Zhang Zuidong squeezed his chopsticks, and his voice was calm: "It's nothing?"

"I used to go to the brothel with... just my friends, and we have seen a lot." You Xuzhi explained, "Don't alienate me because of this, I have never Don't do what is difficult for the strong."

Hearing the second half of his sentence, Zhang Zuidong's stagnation suddenly dissipated.

"Got it, eat."

You Xuzhi saw that this explanation was useful, and continued to say: "Besides, they are all men, who hasn't had a... time, right? You don't know, in the Qingyue Building, when they It's so fun to play, do you want to hear it?"

Zhang Zuidong's face darkened: "I don't want to, eat."

You Xuzhi: "…"

How can you get angry again, the more you get along with him, the more You Xuzhi can't understand his mind.

The next day, You Xuzhi also received an invitation, that Jiang Yan's family is the son of the head of the village, and his temperament is similar to Zhang Zuidong. He is a sincere person, but he is much more cheerful than Zhang Zuidong. People are also talkative, and they are in good spirits when they are happy.

As usual, but You Xuzhi always felt that the atmosphere was not right.

If you are angry, this temperament is really long.

At this time, there was a problem with the business in his town. When he left with the horse, Zhang Zuidong was not at home, so he left a letter and left.

So that day, what Zhang Zuidong saw when he came back was a piece of paper stuck in the tree beside the chicken coop, with two words written on it.

[Gone]

On these two words, You Xuzhi wrote the time of half a column of incense.

He originally wanted to explain the reason, he stopped writing, then crossed it out, scrapped several pieces of paper, wanted to write "Don't read", and thought that he really made him miss him , I felt uncomfortable, and in the end I wrote it over and over, leaving only these two words.

Time flies in the blink of an eye.

But tossing and turning, no matter what, he couldn't fall asleep.

In three more days, it will be the time for the Jiang family's wedding. He actually went back during this time. At that time, Zhang Zuidong was not there. He went in and saw the room where he slept. , piled up with debris, and the bed and bedding were taken away. He kicked the door angrily, hurt his toes, and ran back.

Later in the town, he also saw Zhang Zuidong who came to the market to sell things. , and felt a sigh of relief in my heart.

Annoying.

You Xuzhi pulled the quilt over his head, sighed for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief, rolled over and sat up, went to grab a bottle of wine, and went up to the roof to watch the moon.

It's strange that he would be affected by a little hunter.

The moon is very beautiful tonight, You Xuzhi leaned on the roof, gestured with his fingertips, and drank the wine one by one.

"Little Orion's **** is really up." You Xuzhi muttered to himself, "It's so beautiful..."

Drunk all night and dream.

You Xuzhi, who woke up early in the morning, looked at the curtain of the bed dumbfoundedly, and after a long time, he pulled away from the dream.

…

He's done.

—

Jiangjiafang.

In the early morning, Jiang Yan's house was lively, beating gongs and drums to welcome relatives, guests came one after another, and the smell of firecrackers in the past.

At the back, he saw the figure of the two men - they came in together.

Zhang Zuidong also saw him.

But for a moment, You Xuzhi looked over again, and saw Zhang Zuidong tilting his head and talking to Pu Pingle, I don't know what to say, the two were talking and laughing.

Pu Pingle seemed to feel You Xuzhi's sight, turned his head to look at him, his eyes dimmed, and his smile was much shallower.

Zhang Zuidong felt the change in his mood, looked at You Xuzhi again, and swept over his body in a fair manner.

Skinny.

You Xuzhi didn't look at them.

The family taught him to be a gentleman, and he was determined not to do what he likes and what is difficult for others.

It's nothing but a dream.

You Xuzhi looked down at the ground, and after a while, there was another person in front of him, "Young Master You."

.

"You too."

"Yeah." You Xuzhi finished eating the melon seeds and clapped his hands.

Pu Pingle didn't say anything, just exchanged a few words, You Xuzhi didn't see Zhang Zuidong, pretended to ask casually, Pu Pingle said he went to help later.

Pu Ping was happy to see that he was silent again, bit his lip unwillingly, and talked to him as if nothing had happened. After giving a response, after Pu Pingle left, he couldn't even recall what Pu Pingle said just now.

The bride and groom worshipped the heaven and the earth, and the bride was helped into the bridal room.

At the beginning of the banquet, You Xuzhi Zhang Zuidong and Pu Pingle sat at the same table, Pu Pingle sat in the middle, You Xuzhi was on the right, Zhang Zuidong was on the left. Zhang Zuidong said a few words warmly, and said a few words to You Xuzhi for a while, busy like a flower and a butterfly gathering honey.

You Xuzhi spoke very little today, and listened to the conversation of the two people beside him. In the cold water, the cold is pulled out, and the thoughts are tied into a knot in a mess.

The person on his right went to toast the groom, Zhang Zuidong got up and came back with a bowl of rice, and sat on You Xuzhi's right hand casually, putting a bowl of rice in front of him.

It was obviously messy and noisy, but You Xuzhi could hear his voice very clearly.

"Oh." You Xuzhi responded and said politely, "Thank you."

You Xuzhi felt like he had eaten a green fruit, it was sour and astringent, but after the aftertaste, he wanted to take another bite.

He lowered his gaze and saw the well-jointed hand on his right hand. The finger pulp should be a little calloused, and it felt a little rough, but it was very comfortable.

You Xuzhi's Adam's apple rolled, feeling thirsty, and drank another glass of wine.

"Young Master You, I toast you." Pu Pingle suddenly turned his head and said to him.

You Xuzhi licked his lips, squinted and stared at him for a while, raised his glass to touch him, and took a sip. A small sip, Sven looks out of place here.

Good-looking is good-looking, but You Xuzhi can't remember how he felt when he pursued him.

Pu Pingle added wine for You Xuzhi, when You Xuzhi picked up the wine glass, his right leg was touched suddenly, he looked down, Zhang Zuidong's leg stretched out to his Under his legs, he looked up at Zhang Zuidong, who didn't respond and was still drinking with others.

Pu Pingle: "Young Master You, today is a good day, let's have another drink."

You Xuzhi's calf was hooked over there by Zhang Zuidong, he shook his hand and spilled some wine.

"Young Master You?" Pu Ping was happy to see You Xuzhi's strange expression, without doubt.

"It's all right." You Xuzhi, he didn't know if Zhang Zuidong was unintentional, or... intentional. After a day's walk, the **** returned a little.

He tilted his head with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "You respect me, it's not appropriate to drink only so much."

“Young Master You…”

You Xuzhi's leg was slightly bumped, this time it felt clearer than the previous two times, he glanced at Zhang Zuidong, Zhang Zuidong held the glass to his mouth, his eyes were cold , his emotions are more exposed than usual, You Xuzhi can clearly feel that he is not happy.

…Damn, it’s hard to be a gentleman.
