"Well……"

Chen Bai let out an unbearable groan in pain. She tilted her face while resting on the table, turned over and stretched out her arms to shield her eyes. She felt that with this movement, the pain all over her body came over like a flood, and the white flowers were

The piercing light that penetrated her eyelids also made her extremely uncomfortable.

Is it dawn yet?

She thought vaguely, then wrinkled her face and stood up with her arms.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his eyes and squinted, his vision was blocked by a rough and copper-black face.

"Huo!"

Chen Baiqi took a breath and subconsciously raised his head back.

After calming down, I could see clearly who it was.

"Wei Yan..."

"Chen Huanxian!" Wei Yanqiao squatted in front of the case, acting like a reckless man, staring at her with a pair of bull's eyes.

Chen Baiqi's eardrums were fragile, and he felt his head was hit by his powerful shout, and the echo was loud and clear.

She covered her ears, turned her head, and said weakly in a hoarse voice: "Wei Jian, Brother Wei, what are you doing squatting here?"

Seeing that she was really uncomfortable, Wei Yan panicked for a moment, then stretched his legs and straightened up, moving further away from her, then said anxiously: "You, why did you sleep here last night?"

Chen Baiqi was startled for a moment when he heard the words, then he twisted his stiff neck and slowly looked around - the Xiaoxiao Tower in the morning light was enchanting, the lake was light, the trees were rustling, and the birds were chirping. Nearby, last night

The bronze barons, wine barrels, and jade dishes placed on Yi Pian's lacquered wood desk were all there, but the person who stayed up all night with her last night was not there.

She didn't reply to Wei Yan and stood up unsteadily.

After all, he was hungover and slept in that inappropriate posture again. When he got up, Chen Baiqi felt that his temples were suddenly swollen and his legs were numb, as if they were soft and turned into noodles.

She paused, and after the sour numbness passed, she slowly moved her feet to where Hou Qing was sitting last night.

She lost consciousness for a moment, and when she closed her eyes, she accidentally noticed that a leaf seemed to be floating on the cushion.

The leaves were bodhi leaves that were specially planted in her house, and they were only found in her courtyard, so it shouldn't have "floated" here.

She thought for a moment, then bent down to pick it up and turned it over to take a look.

There are actually words written on the leaves——

There is a beautiful woman. I will never forget her when I see her.

Not seeing you for a day makes me miss you like crazy.

The phoenix is ​​soaring, and the phoenix is ​​begging for it from all over the world.

…

When will I see Xu Xi, I will comfort my hesitation.

Wish to match virtue, hand in hand.

I can't fly, I will perish.

Phoenix seeking phoenix?

Chen Baiqi's expression was stunned for a while.

Don't fly, let me perish... Bodhi leaves, one flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi, awaken to the truth, Bodhi flowers bloom, good relationships...

This poem, this leaf of poetry... No matter how stupid Chen Baiqi is, he can still understand the meaning of its expression.

She suddenly squeezed the leaves in her hands tightly and thought to herself, it seems that Hou Qing no longer intends to hide his feelings for her, and this first step is a direct and fierce offensive.

Wei Yan saw Chen Baiqi pick up a leaf from the ground and then stare at the back of the leaf without moving, so he came over and took a wide look. There seemed to be some words written on the leaf, but the words were very small and the words were difficult to pronounce.

He lowered his head and didn't understand.

At this time, Chen Baiqi kneaded the leaves into his palm with great force.

He couldn't see her anymore, so he looked at her and saw that her expression was strange and awkward. He didn't know whether she was happy or angry.

"What's written on this leaf?" Wei Jian scratched his head and said carelessly.

Chen Baiqi pondered for a moment and then said: "Last night..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the word "last night" was mentioned, Wei Yan exploded like a firecracker. With a dark face, he accused her: "I guarded the study for you all night, keeping my eyes open until dawn, but early in the morning

But I found that you were not in the room at all, and you quietly went to Xiaoxiao Tower to drink..."

After Wei Jian mentioned it, Chen Baiqi remembered his previous plan. He immediately looked at Wei Jian apologetically and said, "This is my fault. I thought wrong before..."

"Ah?" Wei Yan looked at her confused.

Chen Baiqi saw that he was asking her to "explain" in his eyes, and she didn't know how to explain to him for a moment. She said: "Huanxian apologizes to you for what happened last night, and I will give you five jars of good wine to compensate you for the pain of staying here all night."

, I hope Brother Wei won’t get angry with me.”

When Wei Yan saw her serious apology and her sincere apology, he immediately put out his anger.

"It's just a one-night stand. With my body, it's no problem at all! You don't have to be so polite." He puffed up his chest and patted his bulging chest several times with his big black palm: "But Huanxian, you

Why did you come here by yourself last night and drink alone? If you want to drink, you can ask me, Old Wei, to accompany you?"

There must be a reason for not calling you...

Chen Baiqi licked his dry mouth and thought about how to answer.

Seeing Chen Baiqi's expression of embarrassment, Wei Jian was frightened: "Are you encountering some trouble? Are you here alone to drink away your sorrows?"

With his stupid brain, he can only guess this much.

And Chen Baiqi just happened to borrow Poxia's donkey. She said: "We encountered some difficulties, but they have been solved, so we won't mention it anymore. Oh, by the way, don't worry about the matter between Lin Mansion and Yushan Diao. It will be done later."

I asked someone to return the Jade Mountain Sculpture to Lin Qucheng... It's just another matter, Huanxian wants to ask Brother Wei to help me."

"What's up?"

…

——

After Chen Baiqi went back to his room to wash up, he changed into a set of azure robes, and then went to wake Mu'er up. The two brothers rarely had time to have breakfast together. During this period, Chen Baiqi asked Chen Mu's life in a gentle voice.

and learning situation.

Since Chen Baiqi was very busy on weekdays, he had no time to teach Chen Mu, so he was sent to a government school where all the disciples of aristocratic families were taught and enlightened. There were academic officers in the government school who would teach all kinds of knowledge, but they were not as meticulous and detailed as those in private schools.

Literary level, so in addition to official studies, Chen Baiqi also begged Su Fang to be his teacher and give private lessons.

Chen Mu was very close to her, and today he learned that she did not have to go to court to have dinner with him. He was as cheerful as a happy sparrow all morning, chattering to her non-stop.

After breakfast, he was almost late, so he reluctantly prepared to go to school.

Before the start of school, Chen Baiqi specially made a backpack for Chen Mu. The backpack was quite large and could hold everything Chen Mu needed for school.

Carrying his schoolbag for him, Chen Baiqi bent down, put his hands on his shoulders, looked into each other's eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother is at home today. I will bring you food in the afternoon. You can eat whatever Mu'er wants today."

Made for you."

"Really?"

Chen Mu opened his eyes wide in surprise. The almond-shaped eyes similar to "Chen Huanxian" had the delicacy and purity of a girl.

Chen Baiqi touched his little head and nodded: "Of course."

"Well, then Mu'er wants to eat the charcoal-grilled fish made by his brother, uh, yes, there's also glutinous millet porridge, and there's also potato cake..." After he finished reading in one breath excitedly, he suddenly realized

The cook seemed to be his brother. If he wanted to be so diverse all at once, wouldn't it tire his brother out? So he quickly changed his words: "Brother, Mu'er doesn't want..."

But before Mu'er could retort, Chen Baiqi agreed first and said: "Well, okay, brother, remember. Mu'er, you have to listen carefully at the school. When you come back in the evening, brother will test your homework today."

Chen Mu stared at Chen Baiqi brightly, with a blush on his face, and smiled very happily: "Well, Mu'er must listen to brother." After saying that, he nodded vigorously to show his seriousness.

Chen Baiqi immediately smiled and rubbed the soft hair on his head.

"It is better to combine work and rest, and don't tire yourself."

When he went out, Chen Mu shook his hand vigorously towards Chen Baiqi.

"Brother, Mu'er is out."

"Slow down on the road."

"Okay, Mu'er is gone. Mu'er will come home on time after school. Brother, wait for me!"

The loud response drifted away, but it still seemed to leave a trace of joy.

Chen Baiqi put down his hand and smiled as he looked at the little black dot going away.

——

Wei Yan came back in the afternoon. It is said that he went to Lin Mansion specially. This time he did not bring Chen Baiqi. Lin Qucheng's jade mountain sculpture was sent back again, so he was in a good mood and kept him for dinner. Wei Yan thought about not eating for free.

If he didn't want to eat, he wouldn't be rude to him. He wouldn't come back until he had eaten and drank enough.

"I went to the place you mentioned, and he is still there. He has rented a big courtyard. The courtyard is usually quiet, and he rarely goes out."

There was no surprise on Chen Baiqi's face, and she said: "Well, I understand."
