In the evening, the two Shen Qingxuan brothers were lying on the bed with candles lit by the bedside, chatting face to face.

Most of them are what Shen Zhen said, talking about anecdotes in the officialdom, as well as what kind of friends he made recently, what kind of character, and he was so excited that he couldn't stop him.

Shen Qingxuan listened for a moment, then shook his head slightly, knowing that he had a short time in the officialdom, and he didn't have time to experience those intrigue, so he was in high spirits and full of expectations. What will happen in the future is unknown.

After all, he was his own younger brother. After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingxuan poured cold water on his full of enthusiasm and said, "Everything needs to be cautious. Don't make friends randomly before you know the opponent's faction. We will definitely be able to make friends in the future, and it is not too late to treat each other sincerely.

Shen Zhen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, but he no longer had the elation he had before, and just nodded in agreement.

Shen Qingxuan knew that what he said was too straightforward. Shen Zhen probably didn't know these things, but he just said it so frankly that he couldn't accept it emotionally for a while.

With a sigh, he reached out and stroked his brother's head, Shen Qingxuan said again: Father's wealth is huge, I know you have no worries. But think about it, the greater the wealth of the Shen family, the more likely they would be a good target for collusion in the officialdom. You have just entered this field, your qualifications are still low, and you have no roots. If you are not careful and stand in the wrong camp, it will be difficult to turn over again. At that time, the Shen family's family business might not be able to help you, and if you don't say it, maybe it will be - the family is ruined!

The last sentence, Shen Qingxuan hesitated for a while, but still said it. Shen Zhen's body shook from the quilt.

"Brother, I know." Shen Zhen was silent for a while, then slowly said: "This time I'm going up the mountain, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

This time, it was Shen Qingxuan who was stunned. Shen Zhen looked at him, then lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Just because I know this, I asked to be transferred to Ningyuan County in the south to take up the post... The documents have already come down, and I will leave at the end of the month. This trip is high in mountains and rivers, I don't know. When will I be back..."

Shen Qingxuan frowned, thinking about where Ningyuan County was. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that Ningyuan County is a very remote small county town in the south. , are called Nanmanzi.

Shen Qingxuan's brows loosened after a long time, and said, "It's fine to go there, you stay in the capital with your temperament, you don't know if you offend anyone. Go there to sharpen it, and when you come back, my brother will wash the dust for you.

Shen Zhen smiled, stretched out his arms and hooked his brother's neck, buried his head in it, and said in a low voice, "I know you would say that." After a while, he said, "Although it is a bit hard there, it is a man who has made great achievements. It’s a good place to go. Brother, don’t worry about it, a grass bandit can’t stop me, and Dad has a business there, so you don’t have to worry about food and clothing… I’ll come back in ten years at most.”

Shen Qingxuan was silent and nodded.

It was the first time we parted, and it was two brothers who had grown up with each other since childhood. Although the situation is completely different after a few years, the love that blood is thicker than water cannot be erased by anything. Both are sad.

It didn't take long before Shen Zhen said: "Brother, I know you are not in good health. But you have to promise, at least wait for me to come back."

Shen Qingxuan was stunned for a second. After realizing it, he couldn't help but feel sour, and quickly nodded in response, "I'll wait for you to come back." Don't worry, I haven't seen you start a family and start a business, and you have to carry the burden of continuing the incense on the lintel of the Shen family. How can I just let go.

Shen Zhen smiled, "When I come back, I will marry a wife and have children. If I have two babies, I will give you one of them."

Shen Qingxuan still nodded, but in his heart he thought that he might not be able to marry a wife and have children. It's just that at the same time as this thought appeared in his mind, Yimo's face suddenly appeared immortal, and he hurriedly suppressed these impetuous thoughts together. Don't even think about it.

The two brothers talked a lot more affectionately. Shen Qingxuan hesitated for a while, whether to tell him the things that he could speak out, together with the matter of knowing the big snake. I don't know if I'm dead or alive.

After a second thought, gave up.

Although he can speak out now, he doesn't know how long this situation can last, and what accidents will happen in the future. He has experienced the ups and downs in his life, why should he let his relatives follow him before the final result is determined.

What's more, the future between him and Yimo is very confusing. No one can promise anyone.

Furthermore, the promise itself is hollow and tedious. Who will believe it?

In the second half of the night, Shen Zhen was already asleep, leaning beside him with docile brows and eyes, just like when he was a child, well-behaved and sensible in front of his brother.

Shen Qingxuan stroked his eyebrows and looked at him dazedly. Since childhood, some people have said that they are brothers, and the most similar thing is these eyebrows.

The most dissimilar is also these eyebrows.

When Shen Zhen was still full of vigor and innocence, he already had a pair of gloomy eyes.

Shen Qingxuan sighed silently, tucked the duvets away, and gradually fell asleep.

The next few days were busy. Because Shen Zhen was going to take office, the whole family was so busy that even Shen Qingxuan couldn't refuse and went down the mountain.

There was not enough manpower, so Shen Qingxuan sent his servant over to help. He couldn't help himself, so he sat quietly in the shadow of the corner.

Shen Zhen was busy saying goodbye to his friends, going in and out of restaurants and bars, and he couldn't rest when he got home.

The provoked Shen Zhen took the time to come to Shen Qingxuan to complain, saying that he didn't expect to be so tired after going out. Shen Qingxuan naturally said something to comfort him, and then pushed him to those banquets.

Soon, after everything was in order, Shen Zhen was on his way.

Shen Qingxuan also returned to the mountains to live his quiet days. Count the sunrise and sunset and listen to the wind blowing the leaves.

After Yimo left the hot springs, he no longer appeared.

I don't know what I'm busy with, or maybe I don't want to see him again at all. Whenever Shen Qingxuan thought of this, he couldn't help but sneer. What if you don't think about it, you can hide until next year's robbery at most, are you still coming to see me? !

I thought again, who is Yimo, who needs to hide from him a paralyzed man with no strength? Must be too lazy to come...

Shen Qingxuan was sitting alone in the room, the thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly, but he couldn't come to any conclusion, but the more chaotic his mind, the more stuffy he felt in his heart.

As if there was something stuck in his chest, he wanted to scream hysterically, and smashed something to relieve it.

Perhaps after a lot of excitement, this loneliness is no longer calm.

Realizing that he was emotionally dangerous, Shen Qingxuan felt even more depressed. There was really nowhere to vent, so I picked up the piles of books I collected before, and I just read a page and couldn't help but want to tear a page, wishing to tear all these demagogic things to shreds just fine.

What kind of fox girl repays her kindness and ties a good marriage, what kind of nympho who feeds flower ghosts to Qin Jin's favor... All are nonsense.

Don't the people who wrote the book know that "humans and monsters have different paths"? !

- Shemales are different.

Shen Qingxuan squinted his eyes, chewed these four words with gnashing teeth, turned them over and over, read them silently over and over again, and swallowed them again and again. don't know why the anger is, and the hatred is even more lingering.

The words "same return by different paths" came to mind by chance, but I didn't dare to think about it any longer.

One of them is a demon, and all of them are men. Even if they return together, they will not be able to "share" the romantic stories in the book.

At most, it is to give people a handle and give people more talk after dinner.

Knowing this in his heart, Shen Qingxuan was even more angry for no reason.

"Did those books annoy you?"

Shen Qingxuan raised his head abruptly, and saw Yimo standing by the candle, half of his face covered in his long messy hair, and the other half of his face under the shadow of the flickering candlelight, only those pale eyes staring at him. myself, very quiet.

Shen Qingxuan's hands trembled, and the white snowflake fragments scattered one after another and spread on the ground.

Shen Qingxuan fixedly watched the broken pages that he created fall to the ground, and the originally chaotic thoughts in his mind seemed to sink to the bottom along with the falling pieces. Suddenly at peace.

Don't worry, don't panic, don't worry.

He only slowly raised his face and looked into the other party's silent eyes, vaguely feeling that it had been there for thousands of years, as if there was a secret place that no one had visited since ancient times.

"Emo."

Shen Qingxuan heard his own voice resounding in this quiet world, and he asked every word in a very serious manner: "I'll go back to the same destination as you, okay?"

ok?
