The casual life of the flat space

"Hey, Tieying, where is the ginger?" Mu Qingqiu looked at the ground, but his hands were fiddling with the jade pendant hanging on his waist. It was a piece of white jade carved with lychees, longans, and walnuts, which meant "three consecutive top honors", but at this moment, he seemed to wish it could turn into a piece of ginger.

"Puchi... Hum hum, ha ha, roar, ga ga ga ga..." Bai Tieying was thinking that he might not have the energy to make others laugh, but ended up being amused by this adorable little brother. He couldn't stop laughing and accidentally flipped his chair sideways, and really "fell off the stool".

Mu Qingqiu hurried over to help her up. After Bai Tieying got up, she rubbed her belly which hurt from laughing and walked towards the kitchen, saying casually, "Little brother is so cute!"

"Ah? But... you are cute too!" Mu Qingqiu knew that this was a compliment, because Bai Tieying always praised Bai Tiexiong, and Bai Tiexiong would always reply "Sister is cute too!"

Bai Tieying was tickled by Mu Qingqiu's words again, because she knew that Mu Qingqiu had no idea what she really meant by "cute". He must have thought it was similar to "you're good" or "you're great"!

She just had a slightly stuffy nose. Bai Tieying felt that the laughter just now had relieved her fatigue, so she boiled two bowls of ginger soup and asked Mu Qingqiu to drink with her.

"Ha... Ha..." There was time to speed up. It wasn't hot, but too spicy because too much ginger was added. Bai Tieying was too lazy to boil water, so she just took a sip, "Ha", took another sip, and "Ha" again.

Mu Qingqiu also felt it was spicy, but seeing that Bai Tieying didn't move, he didn't say anything either, just sat on the doorstep of the kitchen and drank with Bai Tieying. Seeing her laughing, he suddenly felt as if he knew what "cute" meant.

"Brother Mu, after we bring Xin Sanbai back, can you live in this space for a while? Besides your identity being useful, I want you to help me pay back the gold and silver owed by Xuanqinglu to the well at night."

"Huh? Oh, no problem, I've thought about this before! I wanted to discuss it with you, but I forgot about it later. If I can choose this time, can you help me choose to fly?"

“I don’t know what to do about this, but based on what we discussed last time, I guess this is the first thing you thought of.

But let me calculate for you! Last time you threw ten taels of silver, you only went up three feet, and you may not even stay there for a moment. Even if you return more money this time, two thousand taels of gold and seventeen thousand three hundred taels of silver, a total of more than thirty thousand taels, but how long can you fly with that?

You know, flying is easy, but staying in the air requires energy, even for me. Wouldn't it be better if you had a permanent ability like "being understood by Wangshu and the others"?

Let's get back to the topic. Given our relationship, if you tell me you want to go up to the sky and play for a while, can I agree? Are you sure you want to lose more than 30,000 energy points for that little while? Are you stupid? If you have the energy, give it to me! I, as a middleman, promise not to make a profit from the price difference!"

Although there were two words in Bai Tieying's last sentence that he had never heard of, Mu Qingqiu still understood what she meant. But after thinking about it, he still spoke:

"Tieying, something happened when I was three years old. When I found out later, I could understand my mother, but at that time I didn't know that she was in danger at any moment, and even I was in danger.

My mother, who used to love me so much, no longer played with me. Even when I went to find her, I was chased away by the palace maids in her palace. Even the palace maids and eunuchs who served me began to avoid me.

One day, I was really depressed, so I sneaked to the Banquet Spring Pavilion to play, and I accidentally fell off the Feihua Pavilion. I was about to fall and bleed, but my master, who was the chief of the Imperial Guards and Infantry at the time, happened to be there on patrol and saved me.

That scene has often appeared in my dreams over the years. Later, I was not afraid when I dreamed of it again, because I knew that the master would definitely fly to save me.

I don't actually remember what I said at that time, I just remember that from that day on, I started to follow my master Man Dayu. But because I asked my master about it later, I still talk to him in my dreams now, as if that's what we said at that time.

I first asked him if he was an immortal, and he said no.

I asked him how he could fly if he wasn't an immortal. He said it was because he practiced light body kung fu.

I asked him if he could fly after practicing light body kung fu. He said that he could only fly like him. If someone could fly high in the sky all the time, he would be an immortal, and he was just a mortal.

I asked him if I could fly after practicing Qing Shen Kung Fu, because everyone said I was a "dragon child" and dragons can fly. He said it was possible, as long as you practiced hard and didn't slack off for even a day, you would be able to fly after practicing for 10,000 days.

I asked him if he could teach me. Sometimes he would ask me if he could stop crying. Sometimes he would agree readily. But more often he would leave without saying a word. I would trot behind him and ask him again, but he would not answer..."

Mu Qingqiu drank the bowl of ginger soup in his hand and said:

"Tieying, although I am very happy here, I can't stay here forever. My mother is still in the capital, and my maternal family also has relatives. I... must go back eventually.

Therefore, the permanent abilities here are useless to me, but being able to realize my dream, even for a while, is good. Who can be so close to their dream and not be moved? "

What Mu Qingqiu didn't say was that flying by yourself is different from being controlled by others. If he had discovered earlier that the ring was the "key" here, he might not have to keep repeating the same dream. He himself couldn't explain why "flying" became his dream, but fate still treated him well. He met Bai Tieying, and having such an experience was enough.

After listening to Mu Qingqiu's words, Bai Tieying also recalled in her heart... The first meeting between the two was a bit absurd, but it was mainly caused by her. If we put aside the possibility that Mu Qingqiu might have ulterior motives, this person is actually quite good. A person who can ask where the adults of the little sister's family are and want to send them back is definitely worthy of a banner.

In the following interactions, Bai Tieying felt that Mu Qingqiu was very immature and had a kind of clear stupidity. Even now, he probably thought that he was some kind of mountain spirit or ghost! Because as long as he talked about related topics, he didn't dare to continue, as if he was afraid that he would think he was prying into something.

At the age of three, he followed his master everywhere. His mother was clearly there, but he couldn't always be with her. Something must have happened in between, which made Mu Qingqiu a bit of a "mama's boy". But it's true, which child doesn't miss his mother? He is only sixteen years old this year! What's more, it seems that Concubine Xian has a good temper and treats him very well.
