One Hundred Ways to Whitewash Villains [Quick Wear] ━ Vol.2

　　The weather has gotten even colder. The surface of the pool in the yard is covered with thick ice, and the koi underneath can no longer be seen. The clouds were thick and dark, blocking the blue sky completely, making people feel tight in their chests just looking at it.

　　Wei Chengze was wrapped in a thick winter coat and leaning against the window lazily. The wind mixed with the biting chill of winter blew in through the open window, dissipating some of the heat in the room. Wei Chengze couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

　　Suddenly, a white snowflake fell from the sky, dangling on the window lattice, and disappeared after a while, leaving only a shallow water stain. Then, more and more snowflakes fell, creating a quiet picture in the hazy sky.

　　Snowflakes were blown by the wind and drifted in from the window diagonally. Wei Chengze was stunned, and involuntarily reached out his hand to catch the pure white flower.

　　White snowflakes fell on Wei Chengze's palm, and instantly turned into moist water drops, bringing a slight chill.

　　Wei Chengze raised his head and looked at the increasingly dense snow outside the window, his eyes brightening little by little.

　　Seventy years ago, on the day of the great cold after Jingguo pacified the Southern Barbarians, heavy snow fell in the sky like now. On that day, Zhao Yuchen was born.

　　"Prepare the food and drinks. How about we go to the yard to enjoy the snow?" Wei Chengze closed his palms covered with snow, turned his head, looked at Shi Tang who was standing not far away, and suggested with a smile.

　　Hearing Wei Chengze's words, Shi Tang glanced at him, responded in a deep voice, and then turned around and left the room without saying a word.

　　When Wei Chengze saw this, he smiled nonchalantly. From the day he and Fang Shaoyuan made the so-called deal, Shitang never gave him a good look. No matter what he said, the other party always acted businesslike, and there was no longer the familiarity between the two. Apart from that, there is no connection.

　　——There is no relationship between them in the first place, and there should not be any relationship.

　　The smile on his lips faded, and Wei Chengze lowered his eyes, covering his expression.

　　Snowflakes were constantly blown into the window by the wind. Before they could hit the ground, they turned into crystal water droplets and fell like raindrops.

　　Wei Chengze watched for a while, then sighed softly and reached out to close the window.

　　Without the blowing of the winter wind, the temperature inside the house instantly became much warmer. Wei Chengze tilted his head and thought for a while, then added another coat to himself, then opened the door and walked out.

　　There was a big difference in temperature between the room and the outside. As soon as Wei Chengze stepped out of the door, he was shivered by the cold wind outside. He lowered his head, breathed softly at his hands, and then walked towards the stone table in the yard.

　　The snow has just started to fall and has not yet accumulated on the ground. But when tomorrow morning comes, when you open the window and look out, you will see a world wrapped in white.

　　Bending down to brush away the fallen leaves on the stone chair, Wei Chengze couldn't help but sigh in his heart at his mistake. Just when you come out, you should bring soft cushions. In this season, it was too cold to sit on the stone bench. Even if there were thick clothes to block it, the coolness still came through.

　　Snow fell on Wei Chengze's hair and shoulders, but he didn't care. He just looked at the winter-soaked yard in front of him with a small smile on his lips.

　　The peach tree is still like a dead tree, with only a few yellow leaves that have not yet fallen left on the branches, but on the plum tree not far away, a few small flower buds have sprouted.

　　The feeling of spring conceived in winter is always particularly moving.

　　Of course Wei Chengze has seen plum blossoms, but in that era of various technologies, you could see all kinds of flowers in season or out of season in all seasons, which made it lose the fun.

　　Shitang came back soon with the food and wine Wei Chengze asked for. The wine was an aged wine that Fang Shaoyuan had specially sent to him a few days ago. The price of a bottle was more than ten times the amount of money an ordinary person would earn in a lifetime. It was extremely luxurious.

　　The dishes are freshly fried, there are not many, but most of them are steaming hot. In such a scene, it has a unique taste.

　　"Why don't you sit down and have a drink together?" Wei Chengze turned his head and looked at Shi Tang, who stood silently aside after putting down the things in his hands, with an intoxicating smile on his face.

　　When Shi Tang heard this, he glanced at him and frowned slightly. After a while, he finally answered: "No need."

　　It was clear that the man in front of him still acted the same as before, but in Shi Tang's eyes, after all, Still different.

　　"I really don't understand the style..." He said something like a complaint, and Wei Chengze ignored Shi Tang on the side and poured himself a glass of wine.

　　The wine has been warmed in advance and is just the right temperature for your mouth. The nectar with a refreshing aroma slid down his throat, and then a wave of heat rose from his stomach, filling Wei Chengze's eyes with a hint of drunkenness.

　　Wei Chengze's drinking capacity is not good, and he often appears drunk after one glass of wine. But Zhao Yuchen loved drinking so much that whenever he had free time, he would sit with him in the courtyard, watching him stagger drunk while talking to him, regardless of whether he understood or not. , no response.

　　"Your Majesty, he just likes to bully people..." After another glass of wine, Wei Chengze's voice was a little aggrieved, but his eyes like clear pools were filled with the purest smile.

　　Shitang looked at Wei Chengze, his eyes moved slightly, and his mood was indescribably complicated.

　　This was the first time he heard Wei Chengze talk about Zhao Yuchen, and it was also the first time he saw Wei Chengze looking like this.

　　Just like talking about the only person who is important to you in this world, your heart is filled with joy and sweetness.

　　Fang Shaoyuan went to the palace. He must not have the time to come here today. Even in prison, the original owner kept the flower on his chest in the middle of the clothes. The dried flowers made of begonia were also placed in delicate boxes. In the wooden box, the rationale prepared by Fang Shaoyuan was placed.

　　Wei Chengze didn't know what profound meaning that begonia had to the original owner, but since the original owner collected it so carefully, he must have had some special meaning. And in this world, the only person who has a close relationship with the original owner is the Ninth Five Emperor who is still sitting on the Dragon Throne.

　　However, even if he guesses wrong, there is nothing to worry about. It is just the icing on the cake and is dispensable. It was impossible for Fang Shaoyuan to ask Zhao Yuchen what it meant to him.

　　The smile on his lips deepened slightly. Wei Chengze raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. Suddenly, the mellow aroma of the wine spread between his lips and teeth, making his eyes sparkle.

　　The snow was getting heavier and heavier, falling piece by piece on Wei Chengze's cheek, bringing a slight chill, and then slid down his cheek, like tears rolling down inadvertently.

　　Shi Tang looked at Wei Chengze and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something to persuade him, but in the end he said nothing and continued to stand silently aside, letting Wei Chengze drink one cup after another.

　　Fang Shaoyuan specially found this wine for Wei Chengze, because he knew that he didn't like strong liquor. The wine was sweet and mellow in the mouth, with a little quiet floral fragrance, and he didn't know what it was brewed with. Most of the old wines have great stamina. Wei Chengze's eyes were already filled with mist after drinking most of the bottle of wine.

　　Wei Chengze only ate a small amount of the side dishes on the table. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't like it or because he was too lazy to use his chopsticks.

　　The white mist steamed up from the small dish, which contrasted with the falling snow in the sky, and actually gave it an intoxicating feeling.

　　Wei Chengze lowered his head and looked at the porcelain cup filled with Qiong liquid in his hand, with a slightly confused look on his face. A snowflake fell into the cup and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

　　"Why can't snow fall under the water?" As if looking for traces of the snowflake that just fell, Wei Chengze brought the wine glass to his eyes and looked at it carefully, with a confused look on his face.

　　Hearing Wei Chengze's words, Shi Tang couldn't help but feel a little funny.

　　It seemed that Wei Chengze was really drunk to ask such a question.

　　Perhaps it was because the appearance of Wei Chengze in front of him was too difficult to make people feel defensive, so Shitang's attitude towards him involuntarily softened. Without him, Wei Chengze looks too much like an ignorant child now.

　　It is said that people tend to show their true appearance when they are drunk, especially those who are good at pretending. I don't know if it is true or not?

　　Seeing Wei Chengze pouring the wine in his glass on the ground angrily because he couldn't find any trace of the falling snowflakes, a smile appeared in Shitang's eyes.

　　But soon, the smile in his eyes disappeared and he returned to his usual serious look.

　　Not noticing the change in Shitang's expression, Wei Chengze filled the wine glass in his hand with wine again. He was obviously very drunk, but the hand he was pouring the wine with was still steady and interestingly tight.

　　This time, Wei Chengze did not drink all the wine in the cup like before. Instead, he brought the cup to his mouth, stuck out the tip of his tongue, and licked it like a puppy. His slightly narrowed eyes were filled with tears. It's comfortable, and that cute look makes people want to reach out and rub his head gently. Maybe then, the other person's face will also show the same expression of enjoyment as it does now.

　　Unfortunately, after Wei Chengze tasted the taste, he took the glass away and lowered his eyes not knowing what he was thinking. The hand holding the wine glass rotated slightly, causing the wine in the glass to ripple, and the mellow aroma in the glass became more and more fragrant.

　　"Your Majesty and I..." After a while, Wei Chengze suddenly said, "We met in the Flower House."
