It was late at night, and Yu Qiu Shang braved the wind and snow alone and came to a small wooden house on the east mountain of Maple Leaf Mountain City. This was the place where he usually lived when Kentaro Wada Shen was practicing kendo. The stove in the house was burning brightly. Kentaro Tianchen is sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"Master." Yu Qiu Shang opened the door and came in. The heat that hit his face made him take off his coat.
"You haven't slept yet?" Tian Shen Kentaro glanced at Yu Qiu Shang's expression and immediately noticed, "Is His Highness the punishment for saving Young Master Tokugawa?"
Yu Qiu Shang nodded, but did not explain to Kentaro Tianchen. Seeing this, Kentaro Tianchen did not ask any more questions. Instead, he stood up with a smile, walked to the closet in the house, and opened the door. Then, he I took out several bottles of wine and placed them on the table.
"I don't drink." Yu Qiu Shang shook his head slightly when he saw this. He was like his father in that he didn't like drinking very much.
"Why are you still carrying a sword?" Tian Shen Kentaro glanced at the samurai sword on Yu Qiu Shang's waist.
"Of course a samurai must carry a sword with him." Yu Qiu Shang was obviously in a bad mood, and his tone lacked the usual respect, but Kentaro Tian Shen didn't seem to care.
"Why do samurai wield swords?"
He left this question, ignored Yu Qiu Shang who deliberately ignored him, strode out the door, and then left Yu Qiu Shang and a table of wine in the small wooden house in the wind and snow.
Yu Qiu Shang tried hard to suppress his thoughts, but as soon as he touched the softest part of his heart, tears would well up in his eyes. He has been taciturn and not good at expressing himself since he was a child. He doesn't know how to convey his feelings to girls. , and he doesn’t know how to take care of a girl. But he knows that she understands his thoughts.
He dug out the cloth glove from his pocket - he once left it with Hatakeyama Takamasa, but later found it eagerly. This was the treasure he had treasured since he was a child. Chacha made it for him when he was a child. No one knew that Yu Qiu Shang had been hiding him, not even Cha Cha. They didn't know that the dull Yu Qiu Shang would take out this cloth glove in the dead of night when he couldn't sleep, and stroke it over and over again.
He didn't know when he started to have subtle feelings for Chacha. He didn't understand it at all, and he didn't know what the relationship between a man and a woman was like. The scenes in "The Tale of Genji" were puzzling to him. It was simply more difficult than the most difficult kendo. He still had to figure out the art of war. But all he wanted in his heart was to make that poor girl well. He would be happy when he saw her smile, and sad when he saw her feel wronged. It was that simple.
Why did he fall in love with her? He didn’t know. Chacha was beautiful, Chacha was very sensible, and Chacha was also very well-behaved. People in the Maple Leaf Mountain Castle Castle all liked this little girl. But Yu Qiu Shang knew that none of these things he liked. The reason for tea.
As for the reason...it doesn't matter now, does it?
In ten days, she will marry her twin brother, who is also her love rival. The two brothers have never broken this layer of paper, but everyone understands it tacitly. If it had been in the past, Yu Qiu Shang might have had a bit of hatred towards his younger brother who married his sweetheart. But after Yu Qiuyou completely changed, he could no longer hate him.
Yuqiu Shang understood that Oda Nobunaga's order could not be disobeyed. His father had caused Oda Nobunaga to lose face in front of Kinki, and Oda Nobunaga's move was to regain his reputation. If he continues to find him
If he disobeys orders when he returns to the scene, Oda Nobunaga will really lose his face and become the laughing stock of the whole world. Yu Qiu Shang can even imagine how furious Oda Nobunaga will be in that situation. Yu Qiuping's
Life and the safety of the Yuqiu family will be threatened - maybe the Oda family will go to war with the Yuqiu family over this.
If Oda Nobunaga promised Chacha to someone else, Yu
Qiu Shang may still have the slightest idea of ​​standing up to stop him at the risk of ruining Yu Qiu's family, but Chacha's engagement partner is his younger brother. Yu Qiu Shang knows that Yu Qiuyou also likes Cha Cha very much. If Cha Cha marries
Yu Qiuyou, Yu Qiuyou will also take good care of her. And if I try my best to prevent Yu Qiuyou from marrying Chacha, what will my brother think? He has already voluntarily withdrawn from the triangle relationship, but I will not give up for my own selfish desires.
He would not hesitate to destroy his happiness and the future of the Yuqiu family...
I am the young master of the Yuqiu family... I must be worthy of those who believe in me. How could I let down so many people who have high hopes for me because of my feelings... What will Mr. Suwon think of me in the sky?
When Yu Qiu Shang thought of this, he felt that his heart was tightening and he couldn't breathe. It was an unprecedented feeling of suffocation. He glanced at the bottles of wine in front of him, and suddenly took one bottle for no reason and pulled it open.
Yu Qiu Shang drank heavily. Tian Shen Kentaro's wine turned out to be strong alcohol, which made Yu Qiu Shang choke and hurt.
But my throat hurts, but my heart doesn't hurt that much anymore.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open violently.
Chacha rushed in with tears in her eyes. As soon as she entered the door, she was choked by the strong smell of alcohol. She hurriedly closed the door behind her and saw the young man with a red face, smell of alcohol, and who kept pouring wine one after another.
Dejected look.
He doesn't like drinking, she knows that.
"Brother Shang'er..." Chacha approached Yu Qiu Shang without knowing why, and looked at the wine bottles on the table.
"Did you also know?" Yu Qiu Shang understood after seeing Chacha coming here to look for him so late.
Chacha nodded behind Yu Qiu Shang, and Yu Qiu Shang turned around and looked at Cha Cha wordlessly. The young couple looked at each other, looking at each other's eyes shining with tears, and the reflection in their eyes.
of oneself.
After an unknown amount of time, Chacha finally spoke with a sob:
"Brother Shang'er...you don't need to embarrass me, and don't cause trouble for His Highness and the Yuqiu family because of me...I came here tonight...to say goodbye."
Yu Qiu Shang listened to Cha Cha's words quietly, her heart was as sharp as a knife, but she still tried hard to maintain a calm expression on her face.
"I have been taking care of you for so many years..."
"Chacha will marry and become a woman soon. She must abide by the rules of women. She can no longer care about brother Shang'er as before. Brother Shang'er must remember not to be too tired during training, wipe off sweat in time, change clothes, and eat properly.
Eat hot food, don’t carry it when you are sick, and don’t put your hands outside when you sleep at night…”
Chacha kept talking about trivial concerns, but Yu Qiu Shang's tears burst out like a dam. He couldn't say a word, but he was afraid that Chacha would stop.
I don’t know how long I talked for, and I don’t know how much the girl worried about herself.
"Brother Shang'er... you have to take care of yourself in the future. Chacha can't stay with you anymore." At this point, Chacha bowed deeply to Yu Qiu Shang, and tears fell in front of her.
on the floor. But as soon as he bent down, Chacha seemed to suddenly collapse, sobbing and throwing herself into Yu Qiu Shang's arms, wailing loudly:
"But Chacha likes Brother Shang'er so much..."
Yu Qiu Shang felt the girl's tears wet his clothes, and the soft part in his heart suddenly collapsed.
Without any warning, Chacha reached over Yu Qiu Shang's shoulder, picked up the half-drunk liquor on the table, and poured it into his own mouth. By the time Yu Qiu Shang reacted, Cha Cha was already choking.
Cough. Yu Qiu Shang knew that Chacha was worse at drinking than she was, and would get drunk even if she drank a little bit. Yu Qiuping said that she should have inherited it from her father, and Asai Nagamasa would also get drunk after drinking a little bit of wine.
"What are you doing? You can't drink this wine!" Yu Qiu Shangyi
He snatched the wine bottle from Jiang Chacha's hand.
"When Jia Yan was still here, I said... when you are sad, you can just drink." Chacha, whose face was crimson, lay softly on Yu Qiu Shang's body, but couldn't stop her tears, "But dad lied... I drink
I’m still very sad after the death...Daddy has been lying to people, and he also said that he would always stay with us and my mother..."
"Chacha really wants to be with Brother Shang'er forever... Chacha doesn't want to marry anyone else... Chacha really wants to marry Brother Shang'er... Why can't it be done..."
Chacha's words instantly defeated Yu Qiu Shang's last rationality. He suddenly stood up and picked up Cha Cha with one arm around the waist. Cha Cha exclaimed and tightly hugged Yu Qiu Shang's neck with both hands. Yu Qiu Shang held Cha Cha
He placed her on the bed and then placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Tonight, I will marry you and go home."
On snowy nights in winter, it is very cold outside but very warm inside.
In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, the world was cold, but people's hearts were warm.
Yu Qiu Shang held the beauty who had fallen asleep in his arms. The remaining blush on her neck was unknown whether it was due to alcohol or the sexual intercourse just now.
He suddenly realized that her body was so soft and small. She was like a kitten, huddled uneasily in his arms, as if the outside world was so scary and only here was the only safe harbor.
Mr. Suwon taught me that no one lives independently in the world. No one can live for himself. People live for each other and persist in this cruel world for each other. There are countless people in this cruel world.
Live for me, there are countless people who love me. And I - must be worthy of them.
But I can't be worthy of everyone.
If I want to be worthy of Chacha now, I have to feel sorry for many, many people in the Yuqiu family. But if I want to be worthy of the Yuqiu family, I have to feel sorry for Chacha.
Today, in order to be worthy of the Yuqiu family, I can give up a girl.
Tomorrow, you can abandon your subordinates.
After that, I can abandon the people.
What will I give up after that?
Then what’s the point of me being this young master?
Mr. Tian Chen asked me why I held the knife in my hand.
"Perhaps it's for decision-making?"
Yu Qiu Shang said to himself in his heart, tightening his arms so that the girl in his arms could sleep more peacefully.
Because I cannot be worthy of everyone, I must make a decision and give up.
But I can't do it.
Because I am her only one.
I want to be worthy of her.
I will also be worthy of the Yuqiu family, I will find a way, I am such a greedy person, I want to be worthy of everyone, I am not willing to give up anything.
In the eyes of outsiders, I was a naughty young master who was willing to destroy the future of the Yuqiu family for the sake of women. In the end, I turned into the willful young man who caused trouble for everyone a few years ago.
Yu Qiu Shang suddenly remembered the evaluation that Kentaro Tian Shen gave him before:
"Then I'll tell you the truth, kid," Tian Shen Kentaro sighed, and the hand he put on Yu Qiu Shang's shoulder squeezed slightly, "I think your life... is very tangled and tortuous, so this will Very tired.”
To be continued...
