Chapter 44: Prelude
The road seems endless. Zhang Jiu has never felt so tormented like now. Sitting on a needle mat is a true portrayal of him now, especially that burning gaze, no matter how he ignores it, he can't ignore it.
Qin Ce looked at Zhang Jiu calmly, and described his appearance one by one in his heart, eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth. Every part of Qin Ce felt that it was just right, and it was printed on this delicate face in a small or big size, making him His whole body is extraordinarily agile, no matter how you look at it, you never get tired of it.
Qin Ce remembered the feeling of kissing Zhang Jiu that night, and the desire to touch him couldn't be shaken off in his heart, and his body also consciously moved closer to Zhang Jiu.
Zhang Jiu, who was pretending to be asleep, felt that Qin Ce's movements opened his eyes at this moment, and he was stunned for a moment and pushed Qin Ce away suddenly.
Caught off guard, Qin Ce's back hit the carriage, making a loud noise.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Gothe asked concerned when he heard the voice and opened the curtain of the car.
Qin Ce shook his head, "Nothing."
Gao De looked at the two people who were clearly separated and didn't say anything in the end, let go of the curtain and continued to drive.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Jiu looked away at Qin Ce, and said unnaturally, "I'm sorry, I was shocked when you got so close just now, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Qin CE moved, "I saw a plum blossom on your head, and I want to help you remove it."
"Really?" Zhang Jiu laughed dryly.
"It's my eyes"
It's not short-sightedness, presbyopia, glaucoma, how can it be possible to see blindness at such a close distance, Zhang Jiu cursed, but still smiled, "Oh"
Just when Zhang Jiu was about to be unable to keep the smile on his face, the inn finally appeared in front of his eyes with great anticipation. "Brother Heng, I'm going back first."
Qin Ce held Zhang Jiu back, looked at him coldly, and talked about his persistence.
"Hengzhi" Zhang Jiu corrected the title, "I'm here, you should go back early too."
However, Qin Ce got out of the car under Zhang Jiu's tangled gaze, and accompanied him back to the inn.Zhang Jiu's gaze changed from entanglement to resentment, and he had the illusion of being entangled by a ghost and unable to escape.
"Master, Second Highness, why did you come back together, where is Young Master Jiang?" Liang An happened to meet the two who had returned.
"We happened to meet in Meilin, and brother Chen Hao also met a friend. They talked a lot, and they will come back later." Qin Ce did not change his expression.
What is meeting a friend? It was because he refused to let Jiang Ning come back. Zhang Jiu felt ashamed of Qin Ce who was telling lies with his eyes open, and his skin was really thick.
Liang An believed Qin Ce's words without any doubt, "It's already noon, I'll get someone to prepare lunch."
So Qin Ce enjoyed another delicious meal at the inn. Fortunately, his behavior was not too excessive afterwards. Zhang Jiu could barely accept his existence, but Zhang Jiu was still frightened during the meal, and the food became like chewing wax. I'm afraid that Qin Ce will say something unexpected.
Because of the previous lessons, Zhang Jiu was very tactful and didn't say anything to ask Qin Ce to leave. After the meal, a scene of "the water is full of water, and the pulse is speechless" was formed.
Holding the tea, Zhang Jiu blew away the floating tea leaves and took a sip. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Qin Ce who was drinking the tea calmly, as if he was in his own home, without any restraint.
Zhang Jiu felt that his heart was unbalanced again, and he put down the teacup heavily, and the sound made him startled himself, and seeing Qin Ce's eyes also fell on him, Zhang Jiu laughed dryly, "I'll get the book Read the book, you can do whatever you want"
After speaking, he ran to Jiang Ning's room next door as if fleeing, but Zhang Jiu took a few breaths before calming down a few steps away. The books in Jiang Ning's room were bought together after they came to the capital, and only a few were good. The ones he had read, and the rest were still in his room. Zhang Jiu went to Jiang Ning's bedside to pick up the book even though he was pretending.
Turning the page of the book, Qin Ce's figure appeared in his eyes again, and Zhang Jiu looked up.
Qin Ce said, "It's boring to sit on the left and right. I'll also look for a book to read. This is brother Chen Hao's room. Can we come if he's not here?"
"It doesn't matter, Xiao Ning and I have never been inseparable from each other," Zhang Jiu said, "What book do you want to read, Heng Zhi?"
Qin Ce automatically blocked the word "no distinction between each other", and tried his best to draw a long gap between Jiang Ning and Zhang Jiu in his mind, "This book in your hand is fine, what is the relationship between you and Brother Chen Hao?" Will it be so good?" The good word Qin Ce said was gnashing his teeth repeatedly.
"He and I have known each other since we were young, and our personalities are also compatible, and we hit it off very well, and then we became what we are now." Now Jiang Ning and him are not just like-minded friends, but indispensable family members.
After hearing Zhang Jiu's words, Qin Ce, who was burning with jealousy, already regarded Jiang Ning as his number one enemy in life.
Zhang Jiu nodded, "Jewelry has a price, but a confidant is hard to find."
"That's true, but there is another saying, 'The white prime minister is as good as the sword, and the rich are as early as they are laughing and playing the crown'. People's hearts are the most difficult to figure out and change," Qin Ce sighed.
Zhang Jiu said with a smile, "I even believe that 'Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and the time will see the heart'. Exchange my heart for the king's heart. People are not grass and trees, so they will naturally regard sincerity as a treasure."
"You are indeed very sunny," Qin Ce said, his eyes deep as an abyss, "If I also 'exchange my heart for yours', would you regard my sincerity as a treasure?"
Zhang Jiu was almost choked by his own saliva, his heart skipped a beat, his face began to burn, but Qin Ce didn't seem to be joking, so he fake coughed twice, "Heng Zhi, what do you mean?"
"What do you think I mean?" Qin Ce asked back.
I don't want to know what you mean at all, Zhang Jiu growled in his heart.
Qin Ce observed Zhang Jiu for a while before saying, "We are friends, and friends should naturally communicate with each other with sincerity. Don't you think so, Xiao Jiu?"
After being frightened, Zhang Jiu immediately followed his words and said, "You are right, friends should be friends with each other with heart."
"Brother Zhang..." Qin Yue's bright voice sounded in the inn. Zhang Jiu hurriedly walked outside as if he had received a savior. Downstairs, Qin Yue was struggling to help Jiang Ning upstairs.
"Brother Qin, Xiao Ning, this is..." Zhang Jiu could smell the alcohol on Jiang Ning without asking any more questions, "Drunk"
Qin Yue nodded and pulled his face, feeling miserable in his heart. After Zhang Jiu and Qin Ce left, Jiang Ning didn't know why he was going crazy, but he had a drink with a few other people. Qin Yue didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he just let it go But soon, Qin Yue's intestines turned green with regret, and he actually forgot what Zhang Jiu had said to him.
If the sober Jiang Ning is a weird one, then the drunk Jiang Ning is definitely the best of the weird ones. To describe him with drunk gaffes is flattering him, he has no image at all.
But it was himself who suffered the most. Qin Yue recalled Jiang Ning's various actions on the way, and felt as if he had eaten coptis in his heart. When Jiang Ning fell asleep at last, Qin Yue suddenly felt that the sky was clear and cloudless, and told himself secretly Never accept Jiang Ning again in the future.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Jiu said sympathetically, the drunken Jiang Ning is not something ordinary people can control, so he helped Qin Yue to help Jiang Ning back to the room.
"Brother Zhang, I regret not listening to your advice back then." Putting Jiang Ning on the bed, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief as if he had got rid of the mountain that was pressing him down.
Qin Ce's eyes seemed to be glued to Zhang Jiu's body, watching him take off his shoes for Jiang Ning, take off his coat, and cover him with a quilt. His extremely skillful appearance made Qin Ce feel jealous. "Fourth brother, I have something to tell Xiao Jiu, and I will leave it to you to take care of Brother Chen Hao."
The originally cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and Qin Yue instinctively refused, but meeting Qin Ce's cold gaze, the words of refusal turned into "OK" on his lips, and he wanted to bite his tongue off.
Being dragged back to the next room, Zhang Jiu looked at Qin Ce helplessly and asked, "Hengzhi, what's the matter with you?"
"I just want to ask you, which of these books in your room is better, and I want you to introduce it to me." Qin Ce glanced at the books on the table and said casually.
What is this?Zhang Jiu looked at Qin Ce, as if trying to find a flaw in his face, but only found Bing Leng "I haven't read these books yet"
"let it go"
"..."
