Holding On to My Man

Chapter 33

Out of the pavilion, Fu Junli took Gu Bai to get on the carriage to return home. All the way, a cold air pressure emitted from Fu junli. For a long time, Gu Bai had never seen him look like this, and he could not help but be curious.

Fu Junli’s emotional changes were an important indicator of his own strategy. Gu Bai sorted out his thoughts, looked up at him and whispered,

“What happened, brother Junli? Your face doesn’t look too good...”

Facing the eyes similar to Lian Zhi, Fu Junli could always be tolerant and tender, and seeing the thick concerns in the blue eyes, he only felt that there was an indescribable beauty in his heart.

“I’m fine, did he embarrass you?” He asked gently.

Gu Bai shook his head, “No, Yunxi knows the ceremony, I didn’t irritate him, and we talked happily with each other..”

“Okay, just remember, you should be far away with him and be respectful, and not fall into his hands...” Fu Junli breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why?”

“No reason, in the end, don’t meet him from now on...”

Fu Junli did not explain, but his face was very gloomy, and even the cold eyes showed fear.

Gu Bai naturally knew why he made this expression, not only because of the man’s status, but also because it was rumored that the Crown Prince acted madly and viciously.

Once a minister accidentally angered him, he directly kill him in the emperor’s presence.

He was originally a son of a palace maid, but now he can sit on the position of Crown Prince, not relying on the emperor’s likes, but his arrogant style of acting, and the ability to hold a hundred thousand military power.

The emperor can find an excuse to recover the military power. But what is terrible is that even if there is no military power, the 100,000 soldiers and will only listen to the command of Ji Changyin. How powerful he is?

His man was always so powerful... Gu Bai’s praised him in his heart, and then he put away his feelings, nodded to Fu Junyi gently and said that he knew.

However, Fu Junli is so concerned about him. Did he fall in love with him or continue regarding him as Lian Zhi?

Thinking so, Gu Bai decided to experiment with his own progress.

He suddenly pointed to the folding fan in the hand of Fu Junli, “Junli, the fan is so special, can Yunxi take a look?”

Folding fan is nothing special expect for the origin of it, The thing can be taken by Fu Junli on the side of the day without leaving his hand, which must be left by Rong Lianzhi.

Lianzhi is the limit of Fu Junli. If you want to test it, you must step on it to get on the edge.

As a result, once it came to the limit of Lianzhi, Fu Junli’s face changed, and he would never allow anyone to touch the private things left by Lianzhi.

However, looking at the eyes similar to Lianzhi’s, his eyes blurred, and then handed the fan over.

Gu Bai didn’t expect him to agree. He opened the folding fan to observe it.

His eyes fell on the poem on the fan’s face “The dress takes to loosen gradually and I am more and more emaciated, No regretful plying at all, I am rather for her only distressed as I did.” Then he raised his head,

“Junli is missing someone? I don’t know what kind of beauty can attract you...”

Fu Junli did not answer, his eyes were fixed on the fan, and a gray shadow in his eyes was difficult to understand. Obviously, he was already saddened by memories.

Gu Bai saw it and continued, “He is called Lianzhi?”

“...” Fu Junli immediately looked up at him.

“The first time Junli saw Yunxi called me Lianzhi...Does he have the same blue eyes as Yunxi? Junli always loves to see Yunxi’s eyes and thinks... Can you tell me something about him?”

Gu Bai said that while taking the tea pot on the carriage, he took two cups of tea and smiled, “Yunxi is willing to listen...”

As Gu Bai poured the tea, Fu Junli felt intimate, and the younger’s smile have the power to smooth the pain in the hearts of people.

For many years, the wounded memory has been on the chest for a long time. Gu Bai’s words were like a fuse, which caused a burst of chaos to vent.

He sipped a cup of tea and seemed to have a sigh,

“He was called Rong Lianzhi, although he was born in the brothel, he was a beautiful and unconventional man. I met him on Yangzhou Lake eight years ago. It was the happiest day of my life. I never knew that there was such a man I could talk everything with him. We drink wine and chat happily. He played the zither and everything is shining...”

Rong Lianzhi came out from the brothel? Gu Bai’s spirit was stunned and his ears were focused on listening.

This was not mentioned in the plot. In the plot, Fu Junli never said anything about Rong Lianzhi to the original owner. The original owner did not know that he was a substitute for Fu Junli until the appearance of this noble white lotus("Lian" means "lotus" in Chinese).

Since Rong Lianzhi was born in the brothel, why do you still say that Du Yunxi is a filthy booty?

Gu Bai’s was angry with an inexplicable emotion.

Fu Junli was caught in memories.

“...I wanted to buy him freedom and took him home, but the old procuress who was greedy and asked me to give her thousands of gold to let Lianzhi leave with me. At that time, I had not taken over the business, and my mother was not favoured by my father. Thousands of gold was difficult for me, I couldn’t pay it, and the old procuress actually let people beat me out of the attic!"

Said here, Fu Junli felt gloomy, before he took over Fu’s family, he was a unspoiled son, and he had suffered from many cold eyes.

When he was in Yangzhou, he did not show that he was the son of the richest Fu’s family. The old procuress only thought him as an ordinary scholar. When he used up his money, she turned against him.

“But Lianzhi was deeply in love with me. He came to the meeting in the middle of the night, and brought the doctor and the money. He told me not to be dragged by him. He would wait for me to come back, but who knows...”

The look of Fu Junli’s face turned painful.

“Who knows that when I had enough money to go back, Lianzhi had been sold by the old procuress. She only left a letter to me: Entering my lovesickness gate, you know my lovesickness pain. I will miss you for a long time and forever. Yunxi, you can understand?...”

After Fu Junli finished, his throat was dry and there was a kind of sadness but without tears. This is the reason why he didn’t want to take the exam for a lifetime. Lianzhi encouraged him to pay attention to his future, but his heart was full of beauty.

“I know.”

Gu Bai took a long sigh of relief and was moved.

Lianzhi was your first lover during your teens. Do you think this first lover was a white lotus flower that is not stained with mud? Do you know this white lotus know how difficult it is to be self-explanatory. Do you know that she didn’t know who you are but still fell in love with you? Do you know how valuable to help you out of difficulties? Do you know she was very sad to be sold and only leave a letter for you? You felt that such beautiful love can not be forgotten？

But don’t you think that such a beautiful love story is a bit strange?

Since he can run out of the brothel to find you in the middle of the night, why did she not run away with you with a bag of silver. Were she a fool to go back to continue drinking wine and being forced to earn a living by prostitution?

You said that he is worth a thousand gold. The old man who took the fight and beat him to death is so stupid.

In the end, he can leave a letter to you. Why didn’t she tell you where she was sold and let you wait for eight years?

Brother, wake up, she was simply playing with you , a "poor scholar"...

Gu Bai did not say this. Or Fu Junjin who loved Lianzhi would beat him.

Therefore, Gu Bai slightly lifted up his red eyes and said faintly,

“If love between both sides can last for age,why need they stay together night and day? Junli did not lose love for him, but I don’t want you take Yunxi as Lianzhi. The carriage has arrived at the government. Junli, rest earlier... "

After that, Gu Bai got off the carriage, leaving Fu Junli alone in the carriage.

Now that he knew why Fu Junli loves Lotus, then he would find the direction to solve this.

VS the white lotus, this magical creature, he won’t win much, but VS a green tea bitch pretending to be white lotus, Gu Bai said that he did not fear to try who is better to act.

In the next few days, he changed his strategy and no longer imitated Lianzhi. At the beginning, he often talked to Fu Junli about the sentimental writings of the exploiting classes, wrote several poems, played a few songs, and left the shadow of Du Yunxi to fill the eyes of Fu Junli.

Gradually, Fu Junli could no longer connect him to Lianzhi. Even the similar blue eyes could not comfort Gu Bai as Lianzhi.

Although Lianzhi was talented, she was different from the young boy in front of him. The talent of the young man is unparalleled. He was like a pearl that had been dusted for a long time. The more it is wiped, the brighter it is, and the burning brilliance attracts people’s hearts.

But this does not prevent his attitude towards Gu Bai still remaining soft.

The reason he fell in love with Lianzhi was he can write poems, draw paintings and talk everything with him. He admired the talented person, even if Lianzhi was born in the brothel, but his elegance still made him unable to help himself.

To put it bluntly, Fu Junli is a young man who feels that he is too talented to be understood. He likes the feeling of being a confidant with Gu Bai. This makes him find the youthful confidant feelings when he met Lianzhi.

Just when Gu Bai cheerfully attacked Fu Junli, a man who got Fu’s message in the Imperial City was gloomy.

So, this day, Fu’s family received an imperial edict.
