Jiang Suzhou lowered his head, and the light on the bed was dim. Huo Wujiu didn't notice that he was avoiding him.
The door closed, and only the two of them were left in the room. Huo Wujiu supported himself with one hand in his wheelchair, stood up, and walked to Jiang Suzhou's bedside.
"I heard from Meng Qianshan that you're almost done." He paused, and said casually, "Why don't I see you going out?"
Jiang Suzhou was slow to reply, "… I'm too lazy to move."
Huo Wujiu asked, "You're not going out today either?"
Hearing his question, Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but raise his head to look at him, asking in confusion, "What day is it today?"
Huo Wujiu looked down at him, "You don't know?"
Jiang Suzhou noticed that Huo Wujiu was wearing an unremarkable coarse robe. It looked like the robe worn by Li Changning's disciple. He was holding a robe in his hand. It was sky-blue in color and looked rather coarse. It looked like a commoner's robe.
Before Jiang Suzhou could say anything, the robe fell on him.
It was cold and had a clean smell of soap.
"Then change into it," he said.
"What?" Jiang Suzhou was stunned.
Huo Wujiu looked at him helplessly for a moment, then raised his hand and pressed the top of his head.
"The fifth of May," he said. "Change into it. I'll take you out later."
After saying that, he walked out of the room as if he didn't care if Jiang Suzhou agreed or not. He was waiting for him to change into his robe.
When Jiang Suzhou came back to his senses, he had already sat down in the outer room. He could only see a vague figure through the screen.
Such a person, even though he was wearing coarse clothes, still looked so charming and outstanding.
What did he just say?
Jiang Suzhou held the robe in his hand, dumbfounded.
The fifth of May was the Dragon Boat Festival. He said … he wanted to take him out at this time?
Wasn't that just messing around?! The Prince's Mansion was already heavily guarded. With Huo Wujiu here, there were many spies and guards of the future Prince. This Prince's Mansion was guarded like an iron bucket. It was simply impossible to leave through the front door without being aboveboard.
Furthermore …
Jiang Suzhou raised his head and looked outside. Huo Wujiu had already poured himself a cup of tea and started drinking.
With her current state of mind, she shouldn't have met Huo Wujiu.
— —
Outside, Huo Wujiu was not as free and easy as he appeared to be.
It had always been Jiang Suzhou who took the initiative to look for him. Today, he had made a lot of preparations. After all, he had never taken the initiative to look for someone else, let alone someone that he had other thoughts about and made him feel a little guilty.
As for the excuse he used to go to Jiang Suizhou, he wasn't sure either.
If he was looking for someone for no reason, he had to find a reason. Huo Wujiu didn't want to talk to Jiang Suzhou about Pang Shao and Jiang Sunheng's official business. After looking around, he found this reason to take him out to play. It was also because he had always escaped from the Marquis's Mansion to play since he was young. He didn't know if this noble young master who grew up in the Imperial City would fall for this trick.
His calm and composed appearance just now was clearly a paper tiger.
At this moment, he sat still in the same place. The tea in his hand didn't have any flavor at all. His eyes were fixed on the masterpiece hanging on the wall.
A moment later, the sound of footsteps came from behind the screen.
"Huo Wujiu, where are you taking me?" It was Jiang Suzhou's voice.
"The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded. You can't enter or leave without permission. If there's nothing important, it's best not to take this risk … "
Huo Wujiu raised his head to look.
He saw Jiang Suzhou standing awkwardly by the screen. His expression was stiff, and his body was also in a resistant and hesitant posture.
But …
That sky-blue robe really suited him. Although he was born with an exquisite and devilish appearance, the thick black and gold Prince's robe always hid his clean and clean temperament. Now that he wore this robe and tied up his long hair, he completely looked like an ordinary scholar's son.
Seeing this, Huo Wujiu's heart skipped a beat.
He smiled, stood up, and strode in front of Jiang Suzhou. Without waiting for him to dodge, he reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Let's go." He said.
Jiang Suzhou retreated, wanting to dodge.
But Huo Wujiu's grip was strong, and he didn't plan on giving him a chance to dodge. He was pulled by Huo Wujiu, walking straight to the back room's window.
"Don't worry." Huo Wujiu said.
"But, if someone finds out that we're not here …" Jiang Suzhou was still making his final struggle.
Huo Wujiu said calmly, "It's fine. When I came in just now, I already told Meng Qianshan. I need to talk to you about something. Don't let anyone in to disturb him. "
… If he said something like that, wouldn't it cause a misunderstanding?!
But before Jiang Suzhou could react, Huo Wujiu's hand was already on his waist. Immediately, he withdrew his strength, and Jiang Suzhou was tightly held to his side. Then, Jiang Suzhou's feet were empty.
A gust of wind blew in his face, and the setting sun generously enveloped him.
They had already jumped out of the room through the window.
In a few breaths, Huo Wujiu had already taken him out of the courtyard and onto the roof of the Prince's Mansion.
This was the first time that Jiang Suzhou had a panoramic view of the Prince's Mansion.
Jiang Suzhou saw the servants coming in and out of the Mansion, as well as the guards patrolling the surroundings. But Huo Wujiu's movements were quite tricky, and they were completely in a blind spot. Jiang Suzhou could only feel his robe fluttering, as if he was being held by a circling eagle as he flew out of the Prince's Mansion.
When his feet finally touched the ground and he was released by Huo Wujiu, he had already landed in a blind corner of a street near the Prince's Mansion.
It was a turn in a small alley, and the surroundings were quiet. There was not a single person in sight.
He was a little confused. He raised his head to look at Huo Wujiu, and was met with Huo Wujiu's smile.
It was a very faint smile, but it carried a light that was hard to ignore. It was like a bird that had flown out of its cage, or like a wild beast that had brought him into its territory.
He looked at him with a hint of calm and unruffled mischief.
"You …"
Jiang Suzhou was about to speak when he heard Huo Wujiu say, "Aren't we out now?"
As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Suzhou and walked calmly out of the alley.
"Since you've recovered, don't be so bored," he said as he walked.
Jiang Suzhou muttered behind him, "If you're so capable, why don't you just go back to Beiliang?"
Huo Wujiu turned around.
"Do you want to go?" he asked. "If you want, you can leave the city now."
Jiang Suzhou was shocked and looked up at him.
He saw Huo Wujiu, who was walking half a step in front of him, turn around. His expression was serious, and he did not look like he was joking at all.
Jiang Suzhou's mind went blank for a moment.
"But …"
In the next moment, Huo Wujiu laughed.
"I'm just teasing you." His voice had unknowingly softened. With a warm smile, he blended in with the soft wind of the early summer evening.
It blew into Jiang Suzhou's ear.
—
This was the second time Jiang Suzhou had gone to the market in Lin 'an.
The last time, he came here alone to get drunk because of Ji You. However, he did not belong here. Even though he seemed to have blended into the crowd, he was clearly separated from the crowd.
Therefore, after that day, Jiang Suzhou had never thought of "going out to take a look".
But this time … it seemed to be different.
Perhaps it was because today was especially lively.
The Dragon Boat Festival was considered a big festival in Lin 'an. Because of today's festival, there was no curfew in the city. At this time, the streets were bustling with activity, and there was a surging tide of people. The streets were not lit yet, but the vendors on the streets had already set up their stalls. The stalls that sold lanterns and gadgets were colorful, while the stalls that sold food had smoke rising from their chimneys.
In the distance, a lion dance team could be faintly seen walking across the street. There were also street performers performing at the intersection of the street. From time to time, there would be a burst of applause.
Because of the large number of people, Jiang Suzhou's wrist was held in Huo Wujiu's hand.
Through the robe, there was a clear sense of strength and warmth.
For some reason, Jiang Suzhou seemed to be infected by the liveliness around him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"It's really lively," he said. "I can't feel it at all in the mansion."
The surroundings were lively, and no one noticed them. As soon as his words came out, they blended into the voices of the people around him.
However, Huo Wujiu heard it.
He laughed in a low voice, lowered his head, and said to Jiang Suzhou, "I said that I should come out for a walk. I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Jiang Suizhou also laughed along with him.
Although his reason told him that he should stay away from Huo Wujiu, he had to admit that walking side by side with Huo Wujiu was something that made him extremely happy.
"Okay, let's go eat first," he heard Huo Wujiu say.
He was not familiar with this place, so he allowed Huo Wujiu to pull him to a small restaurant. They sat down by the window on the second floor.
The restaurant was not large, and the tables and chairs were very crude. The porcelain cups on the table were very coarse, and the tea that was poured out was also very ordinary green tea residue. However, the view here was very good. As soon as he lowered his head, he could see the bustling streets.
Jiang Suzhou's expression did not change, but his eyes were looking around. After Huo Wujiu ordered the dishes and asked the waiter to leave, Jiang Suzhou asked, "How did you find this place?"
Huo Wujiu naturally poured tea for him and said, "Wei Kai told me. After they entered the city, they stayed here. They said that the northern cuisine here is very authentic, very similar to Yangguan. "
That day in the mountains, Jiang Suzhou had already heard from Huo Wujiu. His soldiers were not completely wiped out. There were still some left. With Wei Kai as their leader, they were now scattered in Lin 'an City.
Jiang Suzhou was nodding when he saw Huo Wujiu speak and look at him.
"I haven't had the chance yet, so I can only stay here and take you to try the dishes there," he said with a faint smile. "In the future, I will definitely take you back to Yangguan to have a look."
Jiang Suzhou's heart began to beat wildly.
He could feel how much Huo Wujiu missed and longed for Yangguan. At this moment, his eyes were shining.
However, Jiang Suzhou had a very real illusion. It was as if Huo Wujiu did not just say that he wanted to go back to Yangguan, but that he wanted to take him with him and integrate into his past and future.
Jiang Suzhou was momentarily speechless. He could only stare blankly at him.
Huo Wujiu was also stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you not used to the northern cuisine? If you are not used to it, we can go somewhere else. "
Jiang Suzhou came back to his senses.
He had lost his composure. He had lost his composure.
He hurriedly pinched himself in the palm of his hand and scolded himself for being useless.
He hurriedly concealed his emotions and changed the topic.
"No." He cleared his throat and said. "This prince … I just remembered that there is no purse on this set of clothes. I don't have any money on me. Do you have any? "
