[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 35 [English]

Chapter 35 First Snow

The wind blows on my sleeves, chilling my bones.

At this moment, Shen Zechuan suddenly turned his head and sneezed, breaking the imminent confrontation.He was so wet from the shower that he waved his hand to Xiao Chiye and said in a muffled voice: “Do you have a handkerchief?”

Xiao Chiye took a step forward and handed him a handkerchief.

The tip of Shen Zechuan’s nose turned red from the cold, and his fingertips were also red. He took the blue handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.

Xiao Chiye slowly opened the umbrella and asked, “Where are you going?”

Shen Zechuan said: “Just playing.”

“You are also my guard after all. When you go out to play, you must notify the hostel.” Xiao Chiye said, “You ran away silently, which is really worrying.”

“The waist tag was left in the bathhouse. Didn’t you see it, second master?” Shen Zechuan smelled the smell on the handkerchief. It smelled strangely good. It was not the incense that the nobles of Qandu used to use, but like the cool wind of wild waves under the scorching sun. It was the smell that Xiao Chiye carried.

It smells so good.

Shen Zechuan lowered his eyes, almost fascinated by the smell.This is the sunlight that he cannot touch, and it is also the spirit that he will never have in this life.He didn’t want to give the veil back, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Chiye from the corner of his eye, with a hint of giving up.

“I didn’t see it.” Xiao Chiye touched his chest, but couldn’t find what he wanted. He turned around and saw Shen Zechuan’s eyes. He was stunned and said, “What bad thing have you done to look at me like this?”

“Then who knows.” Shen Zechuan said to him slightly proudly, “I have done a lot of bad things.”

“Tell me one or two things and let me hear it.” Xiao Chiye said.

“We should have a night chat in the house. It’s quite cold standing here.” Shen Zechuan coughed and said, “Is the bathhouse still open?”

“It’s closed.” Xiao Chiye said, “If you want to take a shower, you can only go to my room. You are in such bad shape, why don’t you call a doctor to take a look at you?”

“That couldn’t be better.” Shen Zechuan saw the trick and said, “Second Young Master came forward and saved me the medical fee.”

“The serious illness has not healed, and running around makes people more worried. I will ask someone to follow you from now on.” Xiao Chiye stepped aside gracefully, “Let’s go, the second young master will hold an umbrella to see you off.”

Shen Zechuan looked at he who was higher than his shoulders, then looked at he, and said with a smile, “I can hold an umbrella up on my tiptoes.”

“I’m afraid of the hijab.” Xiao Chiye’s profile is very charming, with a straight nose and a nice outline.he said: “You are too short.”

Shen Zechuan stepped into the door with he and said, “You are really too tall.”

“When I was a child, my eldest brother was a few heads tall and had such a name. I was very anxious, so I practiced kung fu hard every day and had to drink milk before going to bed.” Xiao Chiye stepped over the puddles with his long legs and continued, “Who knew that by the age of thirteen or fourteen, his height would reach the sky.”

“Wouldn’t that be great?” Shen Zechuan said, “My eldest brother is also very tall.”

The rain has become lighter, but the snow has become heavier.

Xiao Chiye raised the eaves of his umbrella, looked at the snow, and said, “It’s another year.”

Shen Zechuan also looked at the snow and said, “It’s another year.”

“The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world.” Xiao Chiye paused, “The Queen Mother is in a weak position. You can leave the capital and go anywhere.”

“Then I will hide my name, forget my past, and live a mediocre life.” Shen Zechuan said calmly, “This is not what people who hate me should say.”

“I hate the Biansha Cavalry,” Xiao Chiye said coldly, “I also hate Shen Wei.”

Shen Zechuan said: “You should hate me.”

Xiao Chiye’s eyes moved slightly.

Shen Zechuan continued: “I am a person who lives by hatred.”

Snowflakes dotted on the stone slabs and melted instantly.

Xiao Chiye said: “You understand best what I said five years ago now.”

“Living is more painful than dying.” Shen Zechuan suddenly laughed, heHe exhaled and said to Xiao Chiye, “No, I’m not in pain. Hatred is Ling Chi, like a knife cutting through the flesh. Day by day, people will always become numb. Nothing in this world can make me feel ‘pain’ anymore. I feel comfortable living like this. You have repeatedly advised me to give up, but you also understand best that the word “stop” is never up to you and me. If tenderness can make you feel better, I don’t mind playing for a long time.”

Shen Zechuan raised his hand as he spoke, and his cold fingers scratched Xiao Chiye’s strong back, “he” seemed to be a whisper.

“Some things look so beautiful through the clouds and mist; but when you look up close, they are just a pile of bones.”

Xiao Chiye waited for he to take back his hand, then waved his umbrella impatiently and said, “Skeleton Bones wouldn’t touch people like this.”

Shen Zechuan sighed and was about to take a step, but Xiao Chiye grabbed his shoulders.

“To touch your second son with such a strong smell of blood,” Xiao Chiye hugged him tightly, “You are so courageous. There are more than a dozen people in the yard who can’t keep an eye on you, so why go back to your house? Just sleep with me.”

Shen Zechuan was unaware, Xiao Chiye said: “I was thinking about your life-saving grace, and I gave you opportunities many times, but you tried to treat me like a fool. Do you want to make me happy? Why don’t you laugh at me? Shen Lanzhou, come on, didn’t you say you don’t mind playing for a long time?”

When the sound fell, he threw open the umbrella, took a step forward, and directly lifted Shen Zechuan onto his shoulders.

Shen Zechuan lowered his head and felt dizzy. He immediately covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said angrily: “Xiao Er——”

Xiao Chiye said: “If you dare to move, I will turn everything upside down immediately to see who is working with you inside and outside and kill people in the middle of the night.”

“Check it!” As soon as Shen Zechuan opened his mouth, Xiao Chiye bumped his head so hard that he almost vomited.

“There is a hole for you to drill in the bathhouse. You can run very fast.” Xiao Chiye jumped over the railing, carried the person through the red, thin and green yard, quickly got into the hole, and went straight to his room.

The people who were following him lay on the roof and looked up, exclaiming: “Just now we were joking in the snow, and we looked polite, but why did we become so anxious in the blink of an eye?”

“I don’t want to get along with the Second Young Master.” The guard who had been staring at Shen Zechuan took a sip of soju and said, “He ran so fast yesterday, probably because he was afraid that the overlord would forcefully use his bow tonight. I will go to the Imperial Army to inquire in the afternoon. Everyone knows about this.”

“Do you want to report to the Crown Prince?” The one who was looking around took out a small book, licked the pen, and thought, “This is not easy to write.”

“Bring someone into the house openly.” The drinker also looked at him a few times, and Xiao Chiye had already kicked the door shut.He thought for a while and said: “It’s better not to… The habit of cutting sleeves is not big or small. If you say it wrong, it will be difficult to explain both sides. I think the second young master will be beaten.”

The other one frowned and made a few strokes, and said: “Well… then let’s note it down and don’t repay it for now. Later, when the prince calculates the accounts, he will say that we succumbed to the second master’s power and did not dare to retaliate blindly.”

“But how did he run away?” The drinker rested his arms on his head, puzzled.

* * *

There was a heater in the room, but Xiao Chiye didn’t let anyone go. He circled Shen Zechuan around the waist and walked around the room, rummaging through his suitcase.

“There are enough hot water pipes, and you can choose orchid grass or bath beans.” Xiao Chiye tilted his head as he spoke, sniffed Shen Zechuan’s waist openly, and said, “You’re not the kind of person who insists on milk petals and pearl powder, are you?”

Shen Zechuan said: “Put it down… I’m going to vomit!”

“Then just vomit like this.” Xiao Chiye took out the clothes from the bottom of the box, closed the suitcase, and went in without caring about the messy clothes squeezed out.

When the curtain is lifted, there are two small rooms separated by screens.There is hot soup on one side and a clothes rack on the other.Xiao Chiye hung the clothes on the hanger and easily moved the screen away with one arm. Then he put Shen Zechuan on the edge of the pool and dragged a chair over with his feet.

“Wash.” Xiao Chiye sat unruly and raised his chin towards Shen Zechuan, “I have everything I need. I’ll watch how you run.”

Shen Zechuan’s face turned pale and he said in surprise: “Are you looking at me?”

Xiao Chiye stretched out his long legs, crossed his arms, and said, “Afraid? Don’t run.”

“I’m not the one I’m shy about.” Shen Zechuan retorted.

“Then take it off.” Xiao Chiye said calmly, “Let’s see who of us can do it.”

Without saying a word, Shen Zechuan opened his belt.Xiao Chiye’s eyes were direct and showed no intention of avoiding him at all.Shen Zechuan took off his inner clothes and his knuckles turned white.

“I don’t know if it hurts you or not,” Xiao Chiye teased, “but it makes you angry.”

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zechuan’s clothes were already thrown in his face.

Xiao Chiye grabbed his clothes and laughed for a while. When he took them off, Shen Zechuan was already in the water.

Shen Zechuan was lying on the other side, not turning around or looking back.The smooth back was covered with water drops, making it as moist as dewy jade petals.

Xiao Chiye sat for a while and said, “I have a very hot temper. Didn’t I always talk one thing after another?”

Shen Zechuan said: “I can’t be tougher than the second young master.”

This was a pun, and it was just the first time. If he said it a few times, Xiao Chiye’s shyness would be strangled to death by he himself.

So he sat firmly and answered firmly: “That’s natural.”

After a while, Xiao Chiye said again: “Why don’t you tell me where you are going to play tonight?”

“You have great powers.” Shen Zechuan said, “Check it out.”

“There are several places where you can kill people right now.” Xiao Chiye took out the Dongzhu from Shen Zechuan’s clothes, held it on his fingertips and looked at it, and said, “The Queen Mother is still rich, but at this point, she has to pay attention to her appearance when tipping off information. You won’t be so blinded by this bead that you just want to follow her, right?”

“Who doesn’t love money?” Shen Zechuan said, “The emperor now favors you, and you have also provided equipment for the imperial army. You understand the benefits of having money better than I do.”

“She asked you to kill someone,” Xiao Chiye said, “You’re going to kill someone?”

Shen Zechuan had had enough soaking and reached out for his clothes.However, Xiao Chiye used his legs to hook the clothes hanger away, stood up and said, “Answer.”

Shen Zechuan bare his chest and said, “Yes.”

“Lie to me.” Xiao Chiye reached out and took off the clean clothes and said to Shen Zechuan, “These beads were soaked in a bad way that night. How could you clearly see what the Queen Mother ordered? The person you killed tonight must be the person you want to kill.”

Shen Zechuan said: “…Yeah.”

“Don’t.” Xiao Chiye stroked the fabric, “An ambiguous answer is equivalent to no answer.”

“This is the person I want to kill.” Shen Zechuan stretched out his hand, “You are right.”

“Ji Lei,” Xiao Chiye said, “or Pan Rugui?”

Shen Zechuan’s fingertips were already enough to put on his clothes, and he said, “Why can’t it be you?”

The clothes were fluttering up, but Xiao Chiye refused to give him a kiss and said: “You can’t say a few words before changing your tone. The second young master doesn’t like ridicule. No matter you kill Ji Lei or Pan Rugui, Dali Temple will definitely not let it go tomorrow morning. You saved my life during the autumn hunting. The queen mother doesn’t know about this yet, but I can let her know. Wait for herI understand, you are not mine anymore, so speak carefully and don’t tease your second son.”

When Shen Zechuan took the clothes, Xiao Chiye lifted them up.Shen Zechuan endured it again and again, and finally stood up from the water, grabbed his clothes, and said angrily: “Speak carefully, do you want to speak naked?!”

Xiao Chiye took a closer look and said, “This is called speaking well. Why are you pretending to be such a sinister person in front of me? Ghost stories don’t scare me.”

After saying that, he paused for a while.

“If you touch me, I have to touch you back. We are not so nice that we don’t care about it. Come on, where should I touch you?”
