At this moment, Chu Chen seemed to have taken off a gorgeous coat, revealing the plain gown underneath. Although it was not vulgar, he seemed to be a different person compared to before.
"Brother Mo? Why are you stunned?"
Seeing Mo Wentian's performance, Chu Chen inadvertently flashed a trace of solemnity deep in his eyes, which then disappeared. He raised his hand and waved it in front of Mo Wentian's eyes, looking curious.
"Ah? It's nothing, it's just, why did you suddenly..."
Mo Wentian didn't understand how two completely different temperaments could appear in one person, and seeing the relaxed look on Chu Chen's face, it seemed that this was the real him.
"Oh, you said this, the way you looked just now was naturally just for outsiders to see. Now there are only two of you and me, and I really want to make you as a friend. Shouldn't friends be honest with each other?
"
Chu Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed it under his nose, smiling a little sheepishly. Mo Wentian suddenly thought of Chu Chen's identity. Indeed, the way he looked before was more in line with his identity, but he didn't expect that.
Such a temperament was actually faked by Chu Chen?
"Well, how should I put it? Ever since I became sensible, I have understood one thing. If I cannot get my father's favor, my life will be in danger."
Mo Wentian frowned. Chu Chen didn't know that Mo Wentian had figured out his identity, but Mo Wentian sounded very confused. With Chu Chen's status and identity, it could be said that he was hiding behind his back.
He was born with a silver spoon, how could anyone be so bold as to do harm to him?
But when he thought about what happened just last night, Mo Wentian was silent for a while. If Chu Chen hadn't been lucky enough, he might have turned into a headless corpse by now.
"So after that, I became what my father wanted me to be, my brother liked me as I was, my mother liked me as I was, other people liked me as I was, and everyone felt comfortable with that.
Satisfied, isn’t it great?”
Chu Chen's words were a bit convoluted and very plain when spoken, but in Mo Wentian's voice, he could detect a trace of unnoticed sadness in Chu Chen's words, but Mo Wentian could not comfort him.
"You are right, friends should be honest with each other. Since you regard me as a friend, then I naturally treat you as a friend, so I need to reintroduce myself."
"My name is Mo Yun!"
Chu Chen raised his eyebrows, not understanding the meaning of Mo Wentian's words, but Mo Wentian didn't care about this, and his heart became magnanimous. You know, these two seemingly identical self-introductions represent
The meaning is completely different.
When he faced Chu Chen before, he only used the name "Mo Yun" to hide his identity. But this time, Mo Wentian really revealed his biggest secret to a stranger. Although he
I can't tell Chu Chen that I don't belong to this world, but I can still find some peace of mind.
Listening to Mo Wentian's solemn words and seeing the change in Mo Wentian's expression, Chu Chen felt a little suspicious, rubbed his face with his hands, and didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, Brother Mo Yun, now can you elaborate on what you said before?"
If Chu Chen asked other questions, Mo Wentian might not be able to answer it based on his experience. However, regarding stealing things as thieves, Mo Wentian once did this, and his understanding must be much deeper than others.
.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a middle-aged man with a rich face walked in with a flattering smile on his face.
"Two distinguished guests, have you decided on the dishes?"
"Well, let's have a piece of ham cod, flaming anchovy shrimp, puff pastry lion's head, black pepper and purple eggplant, matsutake cold soup, and two bowls of willow bamboo noodles. Oh, by the way, there's also a jar of good green plum wine.
"
The moment the rich middle-aged man walked in and knocked on the door, Chu Chen suddenly regained his previous noble temperament, with a smile on his face and a warm voice, which made Mo Wentian marvel.
The middle-aged man wrote it down with great respect, and then exited the door. At the same time, Chu Chen's tense cheeks relaxed again, and he even turned his head and winked at Mo Wentian.
"How's it going? Do you think I'm actually quite powerful?"
Seeing Mo Wentian's embarrassment, Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh, which made Mo Wentian feel that the gap between the two was becoming less and less.
"Oh, I'm too anxious. We'll talk about those things after dinner. By the way, I haven't asked Brother Mo where he studied for so long? Judging from your accent, he shouldn't be from Chu City."
"I am a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect."
Mo Wentian did not lie this time, and he felt that there was not much to hide in this matter. Moreover, this identity was in Mo Wentian's plan and would be exposed when the time was right, giving Li Yuanji the greatest opportunity.
blow.
"Xiaoyao Sect? Then Li Yuanji is your senior brother?"
Mo Wentian noticed that when he heard that he was a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, Chu Chen's eyebrows frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal, which made Mo Wentian's heart skip a beat.
"Does he have any grudge against Li Yuanji?"
Mo Wentian thought to himself, nodded, and then stared closely at Chu Chen's expression, for fear of missing a detail, but this time Chu Chen didn't say much, he just fell silent, with a slight flash in his eyes, as if
What are you thinking about.
On the other side, Mo Wentian was also hesitant about his guess. If this Chu Chen really had a problem with Li Yuanji, he might as well form an alliance. After all, Chu Chen's identity also had some significance for Mo Wentian.
Of great benefit.
However, if Mo Wentian guessed wrong, then he would be seeking death and abandoning his family life. After all, the Xiaoyao sect has a distinguished position in Chu State, and Li Yuanji is Xiaoyao.
It is difficult to say whether the superficial friendship between Mo Wentian and Chu Chen can withstand the test of sending a personal disciple.
In this way, the silent atmosphere lasted until the door was pushed open again, and exquisite dishes were brought to the table one after another. The overflowing aroma made Mo Wentian's stomach rumbling, and Chu Chen's face was filled with worry again.
With an elegant smile on his face, Mo Wentian no longer had the intention to sigh.
"Is it ready to eat?"
Faced with the temptation of delicious food, Mo Wentian broke the deadlock first. After all, he knew that he would not have to pay for this meal. Out of politeness, he still gestured to Chu Chen.
"Ah? Of course... let's eat, let's eat..."
Chu Chen seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses and became enthusiastic again. He began to continuously introduce the dishes on the table to Mo Wentian. I am afraid that even the owner of the tavern could not speak more eloquently than him.
.
While Mo Wentian was listening, he grabbed his chopsticks and started to eat at the dishes one after another. It was like a wind blowing through the wind, and Chu Chen was also startled by this devouring momentum.
"Brother Mo, don't just eat here. Come on, let me toast you!"
After saying that, Chu Chen opened the seal of the wine jar, poured wine for himself and Mo Wentian, raised the glass and slightly gestured to Mo Wentian. Mo Wentian had drank wine, but the level of alcohol was not good, but at this time
It was not the time to shirk, so I had to pick up the wine glass and touch it lightly with Chu Chen.
"For friendship!"
"For friendship!"
Mo Wentian chewed the ham in his mouth, imitated Chu Chen and yelled vaguely, then raised his neck and suddenly felt that the whole body was burning from his throat to his stomach.
At this moment, Li Yuanji put down his wine glass and suddenly his expression became serious.
"Brother Mo, there is something I don't want to hide from you!"
When Mo Wentian heard this, he was stunned. He didn't care about the spiciness of the liquor and became a little nervous. After all, they were just friends. If there was a new estrangement because of Li Yuanji's problem, it would really be a big deal.
This was not what Mo Wentian wanted to see.
"To put it simply, your senior brother is very close to my sister, and is deeply admired by my father. However, his and I have different ideas and different paths. I am afraid that in the future, maybe..."
Before Chu Chen could finish speaking, he saw that Mo Wentian seemed to be relieved. This discovery immediately made Chu Chen's eyes light up.
"Brother Mo..."
"Haha, it turns out that's it. It's nothing. Senior Brother Li and I don't get along either."
To be cautious, Mo Wentian still used the word "incompatible", but even this was enough to make Chu Chen feel relieved. For a moment, the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the room just now was swept away, especially Chu Chen.
, I never thought there would be such an unexpected gain.
"I see. It seems that Brother Mo and I are really destined, hahahaha..."
In the following time, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. Mo Wentian explained the concept of juvenile delinquents to Chu Chen again, and proposed that juveniles who are still young and whose crime is not serious should be treated differently from ordinary prisoners, including being able to
In prison, these special teenagers are taught knowledge, develop skills, etc.
Chu Chen's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this. This was a question he had never considered. During the chat, Chu Chen also learned that Mo Wentian was about to attend the Young Heroes Association. He also knew that Mo Wentian had nowhere to stay now, so he immediately took pictures
My chest says I must do my best to be a landlord.
By the time they were full of wine and food, Mo Wentian was already dizzy. Chu Chen supported Mo Wentian, who was already walking dizzy, and found an inn to stay at. After helping Mo Wentian pay one month's rent in advance, Chu Chen
Then he left with a smile in his eyes, so that he could go to the inn to find Mo Wentian.
Just when Chu Chen stepped out of the inn, Mo Wentian, who was lying in the room, suddenly opened his chaotic and confused eyes, and became clear again. He picked up the broken knife in his hand and walked out of the window facing a forest.
