wait for Chang'an

Chapter 6 Mid-Autumn Night

If you stay in one place for a long time, you will feel that life passes quickly, just like Zheng Ran has been living in Qingyan Gang for more than half a year, and now almost everyone in the gang has met him face to face, and at the same time, treat him as a person every day After-dinner conversation.Probably they are also surprised why the very serious gang leader is always dumbfounded by this person, weird, weird.

On this day, Zheng Ranyou routinely got up early to "harass" Luo Changqie, but when he was about to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.Luo Chang and today are different from the monochrome clothes in the past, but wearing an indigo straight-fronted gown, a belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist, his black hair is tied casually with a ribbon, and a few strands of hair on his forehead are blown away by the wind , appearing quite light.Zheng Ran kept staring at him suspiciously, and Luo Chang took the breakfast from the other party's hand with a little embarrassment: "It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it stands to reason that everyone in the gang will go home to visit their parents, then you... "

"I've already communicated with my family, I, I'm too busy!"

"Alright, then you can go to the capital with me to do some private affairs."

Zheng Ran was also taken aback. He originally thought he was going somewhere to play and "go on a date", but he didn't expect... Sigh, at least the two of them are alone.

The two of them rode fast horses and arrived at the gate of the capital at dusk.But Luo Chang didn't go directly to the city, but tied up the horse at a tea shop outside the city, went into the shop and handed a letter to the waiter in front of the counter, asking him to hand it to someone.Zheng Ran couldn't bear to be curious and asked what it was, Luo Chang only replied: "It's time to finish it." After speaking, he left the tea shop.

In the past few days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the shops in the city have arranged festive decorations early. As soon as the night falls, the lights of thousands of houses are gradually lit up.It is a bustling scene, but Luo Changqie knows that the mountains and rivers are not as peaceful as they appear on the surface, but are actually surging undercurrents, so watching this lantern market is really lacking in interest.Zheng Ran, on the other hand, loves to join in the fun as always, looking at the clothing and jewelry here, and the street performances there, and when he turned around, he saw that blue figure that seemed to be drowning in the crowd, so he hurried over and grabbed the other party's sleeve: " There are many people here, don't run around." Luo Changqiu couldn't help but retort: ​​"Who is running around?"

Zheng Ran felt that he was in the wrong, and laughed and said, "Okay, I apologize!" Then he took Luo Changqie to a street vendor and bought two bunches of candied haws, stuffing them into Luo Changqie's mouth without rejection, "Try it, The taste of my childhood." Luo Changqiu took his hand and took a bite. He actually doesn't like sweets very much, but when he saw the other party looking at him expectantly, he nodded slightly: "En, it's delicious."

The two filled their stomachs with snacks, and Luo Changqiu wanted to gallop back directly, but Zheng Ran took him to an inn and rented two rooms for him, citing the danger at night as an excuse.

After they went to their rooms to pack up, Zheng Ran bought two jugs of wine downstairs, carried them upstairs and knocked on Luo Changqie's door.

"How can we just stay in the room on Mid-Autumn Festival night, let's go to the top floor to drink!"

Luo Chang was slightly surprised how this person would take the initiative to drink, so Zheng Ran had to promise that he would definitely only have one drink to enjoy himself.

The top floor of the inn is only surrounded by wooden railings, and there are tables and chairs beside it. The wind blows wantonly around it, mixed with the smell of wine, adding a touch of loveliness to this noisy night.The two picked a clean place and sat down opposite each other.

In fact, every solar term is similar. Go out for a stroll, eat something, and the night will pass. But this year, I no longer have only a group of servants around me. Zheng Ran feels an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart. Inadvertently drank another small cup, and his face turned slightly red with disappointment.Luo Changqie didn't pay attention.

He kept looking at the full moon in the night sky, and when he realized it, he had already opened his mouth involuntarily:

"Actually, I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with my parents when I was a child. They are not great figures, they can only be regarded as righteous men in the world. Since I was a child, I have lived in no fixed place. I followed them everywhere and met many kinds of people. , saved some people, but also made a lot of enemies because of it. My parents wanted to pass on the best martial arts to me, and I have been working hard. Maybe it is strong enough, so I was arrested when I was 15 years old. The enemies approached, fearing that I would become their next stumbling block. But fate tricked people, and only I escaped by chance, while the others... Heh, I always feel that it is all because of me, that I indirectly killed them. So For many years, I felt that I was paying for my sins, but now, I really want to let go of the past, and I want to let go of myself."

Few people know about this part of the past, but on this full moon night, leaning on the railing to listen to the wind, and having a few drinks, it really makes people want to talk.Luo Chang smiled self-deprecatingly, and looked aside, Zheng Ran's face was flushed, but his eyes were still very clear, and there seemed to be a touch of sadness in his eyes.

Zheng Ran had been quietly listening to Luo Changqie's whispers, and naturally saw the corners of his eyes that were gradually turning red, and felt a dull pain in his heart. He knew that Luo Changqie's smile was just to cover up his inner distress.He seemed to see that lonely and fragile child ten years ago, who walked into the dangerous world alone, but his back was so firm and fearless.

He began to regret, hating himself for showing up so late, for not being able to hug that thin figure earlier and walk with him.Something was fermenting, and a certain emotion could no longer be restrained. Zheng Ran's throat tightened, and he stepped forward to hug Luo Changqie, and whispered the secret in his ear: "Luo Changqie , what I want to say next is definitely not to tease you, but a sentence that I have kept in my heart for a long time."

"I like you, maybe it started very early. I'm sorry I can't participate in your past, but I can face the future with you. Will you come with me?"

This sentence was not long, but it shocked Luo Changji in place, as if his body had fallen into a vortex, and the words "I like you" kept repeating in his mind, and he didn't quite understand this. Love, and more than 20 years of life experience did not tell him how to react now, but pushed Zheng Ran away instinctively.

Zheng Ran woke up instantly after a gust of cold wind blew past, and only realized what embarrassing words he had just said. He didn't want to force Luo Changqie to respond to his feelings.I couldn't help but feel that I was very bad, so I looked up at Luo Changqi again and lost the courage, said "I'm sorry" and went downstairs in embarrassment.

Luo Changqiu was stunned for a while before he realized whether he had been confessed just now, or by a man.Although Zheng Ran is out of tune, he doesn't know how to make such jokes. He probably ran away in a hurry because he was afraid of his embarrassment, but...he really never thought about whether he would have such thoughts about others, let alone that person Zheng Ran.

Luo Changqie took the wine glass and filled himself with wine again, took a sip, but felt that it was no longer fragrant and mellow, and the aftertaste was very bitter, so he finally poured it all on the ground, turned and left, leaving a residue on the ground Reflecting the bright moon in the sky.

The author has something to say: there is one more chapter.
